The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure
Chapter 299 Teaching a Lesson to Unscrupulous Merchants
Damn, this is almost a four-year indentured servitude contract!
I feel a little excited just thinking about it!
Xia Tongsheng was quite nonchalant; without saying a word, he directly placed his handprint.
Although Yingling hesitated, seeing that Xia Tongsheng had already pressed the button, she had no reason not to press it herself!
If you're thinking about dying, then die!
After the massage, she looked at her red thumb and said with a touch of sadness, "Sigh, I've sold myself for a pittance over a single meal!"
"Not just you, I'm the same way!" As she spoke, she used her hand, which was still covered in ink, to place a small red dot on her forehead!
Yingling wiped it with dissatisfaction, muttering, "Looks like I really need to change my habit of eating too much!"
The shopkeeper had a worker from another shop take the two of them downstairs to change clothes. When they put on maid outfits, Xia Tongsheng really did look a bit like she was cosplaying!
Yingling slapped her forehead. "Miss, if we really stay here for four years, what will happen to the manor? They'll definitely find out we're gone!"
Xia Tongsheng smiled and said, "That's perfect, they can come and save us!"
She thought about it and realized, "That makes sense!"
I'm not worried anymore!
Xia Tongsheng followed Ahua into the kitchen. As soon as she reached into the water, her hand was grabbed.
Xia Tongsheng was startled, thinking she had encountered a lewd hooligan, and quickly looked up.
Seeing that it was a kind-looking middle-aged woman, she finally lowered her guard!
"Girl, your hands are so fair and delicate, you must be from a wealthy family. How did you end up like this!"
Xia Tongsheng became saddened, "Our family fell on hard times, and both my parents passed away. Only this girl and I are left. Neither of us knows how to make a living, and we have no savings..."
When she got emotional, she deliberately covered her face and sobbed softly to gain sympathy!
Yingling watched her act quietly from the side, giving off a "I'll just smile and not say anything" vibe!
The older woman felt sorry for her, "It's alright, young lady. I'll protect you here. No one will bully you. I know everyone here!"
The female workers chatted for a while and quickly became acquainted!
Yingling was amazed by Xia Tongsheng's social skills. During lunch, she exclaimed, "Miss, I really admire you. It hasn't been long, and you've already won them all over! Aren't women supposed to be hard to get along with?"
Xia Tongsheng smiled mysteriously!
How to quickly integrate into a women's group? It's all about gossiping together!
If you can find a common topic to gossip about, you'll become friends in no time!
They chatted a lot about gossip about the shopkeeper, and Xia Tongsheng concluded that he was a complete scumbag!
After finishing her meal and continuing to wash the dishes, Xia Tongsheng began to ask the questions she wanted to know, "Ahua, are there many people eating at this restaurant?"
Several people noticed that although Xia Tongsheng was originally a young lady from a wealthy family, she was not spoiled at all!
She never complained about washing dishes, so everyone liked her very much and would answer any questions she had.
"There are quite a lot, especially at night,"
"And what about the dishes?"
"The chefs were all personally hired by the original owner and were very famous people. The original owner of this shop was a very good person, but he passed away later. His son was lazy and loved to eat, so he sold the shop to the current owner!"
The older woman interjected, "But this shopkeeper doesn't know how to do business, so business isn't as good as it used to be!"
Xia Tongsheng paid attention to their conversation, and when she had a moment to spare, she went to the kitchen to check on the chefs!
After spending two days there, Xia Tongsheng figured out all the procedures inside and outside the store, and then changed her clothes.
Yingling grabbed her arm. "Miss, where are you going?"
"Go find the shopkeeper!"
Yingling quickly hugged her, stopping her movements. "Miss, you must not go and fight with the shopkeeper. If it were before, if you wanted to fight, I would not only not stop you, but I would definitely be the first to rush to your aid. But now you are pregnant, you can't be so reckless!"
Xia Tongsheng tapped her on the head, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm such a violent person?"
"Yes!"
“…” Xia Tongsheng shook her head. “I need to talk to him. Are you coming with me?”
“Go!” Yingling was worried that she would take action, so how could she not follow?
The shopkeeper looked at the two women after they changed their clothes and asked, "What brings you here?"
"We're leaving!"
The shopkeeper sneered, "Want to leave? Fine, then pay me back the 10 taels of silver you owe first!"
Without saying a word, Xia Tongsheng took out a thousand-tael silver note from his pocket and placed it on the counter. "The money is here, and the indenture is here too!"
Yingling flew into a rage, "Miss, if you had money, why didn't you give it to him yesterday? Why did you make us wash the dishes for him!"
"Miss, I just wanted to experience life!" Xia Tongsheng quickly comforted Yingling, who was now acting like a little lion!
Seeing the shopkeeper there, she didn't tell her the truth.
Yingling, panting heavily, complained indignantly, "Did they even ask her what she wanted to do? She doesn't want to experience it at all!"
The shopkeeper was stunned when he saw the thousand-tael silver note on the counter. A thousand taels in one go, this woman must not be from an ordinary family!
Furthermore, hearing Yingling address her as "Miss!" made him even more uneasy!
They were terrified of offending some rich young lady!
There are so many powerful and influential officials in this capital city. If he offends any one of them, he'll be in deep trouble!
He quickly tried to recall if he had done anything out of line in the past two days, thankfully he hadn't. He wiped away a cold sweat, "It was my fault for not recognizing your greatness! I'm so sorry!"
So he respectfully handed her the indenture!
Xia Tongsheng shook her head in understanding, "It's business!"
“However,” she continued, “the shopkeeper wants to give me my change!”
The shopkeeper was now in an awkward position. It wasn't that he didn't want to find the money; he simply didn't have the remaining nine hundred and ninety taels of silver!
"Miss, could you please have the lady beside you go to the shop and exchange the banknotes? I really don't have change for this much money!"
"Oh, you don't even have this little bit of money!" Xia Tongsheng deliberately humiliated him loudly. "Never mind, it's so hot today, I feel sorry for my maid. Perfect, I have ten taels of silver here!"
Broken silver... broken silver...
Ten taels of silver is like a few thousand yuan of pocket money, as some rich person might say!
The shopkeeper looked extremely embarrassed; his face had begun to turn bluish-purple!
Before leaving, Xia Tongsheng turned back and said, "Remember, if you don't have money, read more books. You have to have one of the inner qualities and the outer qualities, right? Don't always act weird towards that little girl!"
It wasn't that she was mean or mean; it was just that the shopkeeper had humiliated the infant!
She's bad in every way, except for one thing: she's fiercely protective of her own!
You can say whatever you want about your own people! But you absolutely cannot say a bad word about outsiders!
Moreover, this shopkeeper was not a good person to begin with, so this was a lesson for him!
