In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

The village chief swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously, "Girl Zhi, what happened? Why is this restaurant closed?"

Su Zhizhi seemed to have just noticed the village chief coming in, and she quickly perked up and asked him to sit down. "Village chief, you're here! Look at me. I was so lost in thought that I didn't even notice."

"Zhi girl, just tell me clearly, what exactly happened?" The village chief looked anxious.

Su Zhizhi sighed deeply upon hearing this. "Ah, Village Chief, I'll just be frank. You've all seen it. It's not that I don't want to open Laiyue Tower. It's just that even if I open, there aren't many people coming. On the contrary, I have to pay my employees' wages. It's better to just close it."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi glanced at Xie Chengjin inconspicuously.

Xie Chengjin received Su Zhizhi's gaze and then added fuel to the fire, "Yes, Village Chief, it's not that we don't want to open the restaurant. You're not in the county town, so you might not know. We don't know when a traitor appeared in our restaurant. A few days ago, he stole the recipe of Laiyue Tower. Now the recipe is gone, and we can't cook at all, let alone entertain guests."

At this point, Su Zhizhi's face became even more angry. She slammed the table and said bitterly, "I originally let him come to work in the restaurant because of our relatives. It would be fine if he was lazy and gluttonous on weekdays, but now he's helping outsiders to deal with our own family and even stole the recipe. How can I keep my voice down?"

By the end, Su Zhizhi was almost crying.

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin quickly whispered to comfort Su Zhizhi, "Alright, alright, stop crying. Now that things have come to this, we have to find a way to solve it. The village chief must have brought a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables today. Let's think about how to deal with these things first."

"How else can we solve this problem? We don't have much money left from the money we earned before, and we still have to pay rent to the restaurant every month. If we eat these dishes, I'm afraid we won't be able to afford the rent for next month." Su Zhizhi complained about this.

The two of them sang the same tune, and the village chief was unable to get a word in for a while. But after listening to Su Zhizhi's words, the village chief knew where his uneasiness came from. Su Zhizhi didn't seem to intend to pay for these vegetables, and if the recipe issue could not be resolved, their village's stable source of income might be cut off.

The village chief couldn't sit still when his own interests were involved. Seeing that Su Zhizhi was silent, he asked, "Could the person who stole the recipe be one of our family members?"

Su Zhizhi's body stiffened, as if she had just realized what she had just said. Her face looked a little strange, but she didn't want to talk.

Xie Chengjin was deeply distressed upon seeing this, and advised, "Zhizhi, at this point, there's no way to hide this for him. Why don't you tell the village chief? Maybe he can help and think of a solution."

The village chief nodded quickly. Su Zhizhi was silent for a moment, then raised her slightly red eyes to look at the village chief and said in a trembling voice, "If that's the case, then I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the village chief. This matter has to start from when my uncle came to the county town some time ago."

Su Zhizhi told the village chief the key points of what Boss Su had done, and the village chief's face became increasingly ugly.

"So you're saying that it was Boss Su who stole your recipe?" The village chief confirmed with Su Zhizhi again.

Su Zhizhi nodded helplessly, her face full of reluctance and regret, as if she didn't understand why Boss Su would do such a thing.

The village chief slammed the table and stood up. He patted his chest and assured Su Zhizhi, "Girl Zhi, that Boss Su is still living in the village. Don't worry, I will handle this matter for you. We can't let him ruin the livelihood of our entire village by himself."

After saying that, the village chief stormed out angrily, and Su Zhizhi couldn't stop him.

It was at the back door that Su Zhizhi finally caught up with the village chief and his group.

She glanced at the dishes outside the door, and Su Zhizhi sighed deeply. She whispered to Xie Chengjin, "Go get some silver. Since we've already brought these dishes, there's no point in asking the village chief and the others to take them back."

When Xie Chengjin returned again, Su Zhizhi handed the money to the village chief.

There was still some weakness in her voice. "Village Chief, these silver coins are also my gift. You brought the villagers from the village to the county town. I can't let you take these vegetables back with you. It will be difficult for you to report to your superiors."

"Consider these vegetables as my purchase, but I don't have enough money, so I can only give you this much for now. If the village chief can help me solve this problem, I will naturally make up the rest of the money. Don't worry, village chief."

Things had come to this point, and the village chief couldn't refuse. He just accepted the money and hated Boss Su's behavior even more in his heart.

Seeing the village chief leading his men away, Su Zhizhi's expression changed instantly. Xie Chengjin beside him also smiled. "This scene is getting more and more exciting. I just don't know if Boss Su can withstand the anger of the villagers."

Su Zhizhi didn't comment on this, but she was also looking forward to it in her heart.

On the way back to the village, the village chief briefly explained the matter to the people traveling with him. Their faces instantly became very ugly. None of them had expected that the person who wanted to cut off the village's financial resources would be someone from their own village.

One of them suggested to the village chief, "Chief, when we get back to the village, I'll call a few brothers to drag that Boss Su out and beat him up. I want to see who's tougher with his words or with our sticks."

The village chief thought for a moment and rejected the proposal. "Don't be like that for now. I know everyone is very angry about this matter, but this matter is still the Su family's own business."

"Don't worry, I've already made an appointment with Zhi. She will bring people back to the village tomorrow. When the time comes, you guys should bring your weapons and follow me. We will go to the Su family together. If that Boss Su doesn't know what's good for him, then I won't have to save face for him."

At the end of his speech, the village chief's tone was still a little sinister. He was not a good person when he was young, but his temper has softened a bit now, but not everyone can bully him.

After returning to the village, the village chief first gathered all the vegetable farmers together and distributed the silver. Then he explained for Su Zhizhi. Not surprisingly, almost everyone hated Su Boss.

The village chief was very satisfied; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

The next morning, Su Zhizhi arrived at the village chief's house. At this time, many people had gathered at the village chief's house, and Su Zhizhi only brought Xie Chengjin with her.

Seeing this scene, Su Zhizhi pretended to be shocked and said to the village chief embarrassedly: "Village chief, he is my uncle after all. It would be embarrassing to bring so many villagers with him."
