Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

192 Chapter 192. A Traitor

Chu Xujin rushed over immediately after hearing what the buddy said, "Fifth sister, shopkeeper Qian."

Chu Qingzhi briefly explained the process of the matter, "Third brother, come and see what's wrong with the zongzi, don't worry, just check it out according to your judgment."

Chu Xujin's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he looked radiant, "Fifth sister, sit down for a while, and I will try to figure things out as quickly as possible."

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Following Chu Xujin, there were two other policemen who were assigned by the county magistrate to be his assistants. They looked decent, but they were not needed for the time being, and they both stood aside.

Chu Xujin walked up to the women, his face became serious, and he asked, "You all bought the zongzi from Shopkeeper Qian?"

Several people said in unison, "Yes."

Chu Xujin scanned the crowd and observed their expressions, "Which guy did you buy it from?"

The thin and tall woman looked around in the lobby for a week, then pointed out, "I bought it from him."

It was a gray-clothed guy, and he hurried out, "I'm only in charge of selling zongzi, and the zongzi are kept in the back kitchen, so I don't care about that."

Chu Xujin asked him, "Who is in charge of the zongzi?"

Shopkeeper Qian looked back, but saw no one, he turned back again, "It's Li San, a cousin of mine."

Chu Xujin said politely, "The shopkeeper, please call him out."

Shopkeeper Qian raised his voice and shouted, "Li San, come out."

If Li San did something immoral, he couldn't tolerate him.

Li San was dressed in dark brown brocade with high-quality fabrics. When he saw Shopkeeper Qian, he showed a flattering face, "Cousin, what's the matter?"

Shopkeeper Qian pointed to Chu Xujin, "That's a member of the government, no matter what you are asked, tell the truth."

Li San glanced at Chu Xujin, with a hint of timidity and guilt in his eyes, "Yes, cousin."

Chu Xujin's tone was heavy and fast, creating a strong sense of oppression, "How many zongzi do you sell for others every day?"

Li San didn't expect Chu Xujin to ask such a question at all, and subconsciously replied, "Two hundred."

With his answer, the entire lobby of the restaurant fell silent instantly.

Chu Qingzhi hugged her arms and curled her lips. The third brother got the essence of her questioning!

"Snapped--"

Shopkeeper Qian slapped Li San on the face, and cursed excitedly, "You eat inside and out, do you know that this will kill me?"

Now Zongzi is the pillar of the restaurant, if Zongzi collapses, he will not be far from closing.

Li San knew that something was going wrong, covered his face, and quickly knelt down, "Cousin, cousin, I was wrong, I knew I was wrong, don't drive me away, I know I was wrong!"

Chu Xujin interrupted and asked, "Who are you selling for?"

Now that this situation can no longer be concealed, Li San quickly explained, "There is a person named Li Mei in our village. She went to Chujia Village to help others make rice dumplings for two days. She thought it was not difficult to make rice dumplings, so she made them herself. Come to sell, but everyone only buys from our restaurant, so she came to me and asked me to help sell it, and I will share some of the money from the sale.”

Shopkeeper Qian slapped Li San on the face again, "If I knew you were so dishonest, I would never have asked you to help me. Pack up your things immediately and get the hell out of here. You will pay me for today's losses!"

Li San hugged Shopkeeper Qian's thigh, crying and begging, "Cousin, don't drive me away, I will never dare again, never again."

"Go away!" Shopkeeper Qian kicked Li San away, then turned his head and said to the women with a good temper, "Forgive me, today is a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, please forgive me, in this way, your zongzi Take it back first, and tomorrow you can exchange it at the restaurant, and I will give you double the exchange, what do you think?"

Everyone is satisfied with the result of this treatment, "The shopkeeper keeps his word?"

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, these are regular customers, you can't offend them, "I have a huge shop here, how dare you tell lies to deceive everyone, you go back later, if you encounter the same situation, please tell me, it's the same , come back tomorrow for double."

The women were quite reasonable, "For the face of the shopkeeper, we don't care about it, let's go and come back tomorrow."

Several women mentioned the zongzi and walked out of the restaurant.

Li San still wanted to intercede, but he was slapped a few times after that. With great difficulty, relying on the stable business of Zongzi, he was almost ruined by this guy in front of him. The anger in Shopkeeper Qian's heart can be imagined.

"There's nothing you can ask for." Shopkeeper Qian said coldly, "One zongzi is thirty-two taels, and four hundred is twelve taels. I won't charge eight taels. You will pay me the twelve taels."

"Twelve taels?" Li San was taken aback, his face turned pale, "Cousin, I know I was wrong, can you give me a chance?"

Shopkeeper Qian said ruthlessly, "I said, there is no chance, now go back and find a way, otherwise you will go to jail for me."

Li San fell to the ground, his face was full of remorse, his intestines were green with remorse.

After a while, his expression changed, and he rushed out, cursing, "You bitch hurt me, you said it was enough to confuse the real one, but the fact is that I lost my easy fat job, the money should be with you..."

Not to mention how Li San fought against each other when he returned to the village, Chu Qingzhi felt a lump in his heart.

According to what Li San said just now, the place where that person stole the teacher is naturally their home. When did their home let people from other villages come to work?

"Fifth sister, what are you thinking?" Chu Xujin stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Chu Qingzhi's eyes. His fingers were long, straight and beautiful.

Chu Qingzhi raised her eyes, revealing her dark pupils, "It's okay, third brother, you can go back to the yamen, I'm going to buy furniture."

Chu Xujin was worried, "I'll go with you, and I'll go back to the county government office after I buy it. With my position, I can go out and walk around, it's fine."

Chu Qingzhi didn't reject Chu Xujin's kindness again, "Alright then."

She wrote down the materials, specifications, and quantity of the furniture she needed to buy on paper, and when she came to the store, she took out the paper and showed it to the shopkeeper.

It was the first time for the shopkeeper to meet such a straightforward owner, "Girl, you have come to the right place. We have all the furniture here."

Chu Qingzhi only came here after inquiring about it. It would be bad if she was tricked, "Then you sort it out and send it to Chu Family Village. When the furniture arrives, the money will be settled."

The shopkeeper happily said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After shopping, Chu Qingzhi and Chu Xujin separated and went back to the village.

...

County seat Yunxiufang.

Chu Qingyue was looking around at the gate. She inquired that Luo Yinhuan, the embroiderer, would come to the shop today.

At this time, two young girls walked up behind her, and one of the girls in purple patted Chu Qingyue's shoulder lightly, "Sister, are you also here to apprentice?"

Chu Qingyue turned her head back, a girl in purple clothes and a girl in pink clothes were imprinted in the softly lingering eyes, "I am, and you are too?"

The girl in purple was very friendly, "Yeah, there are a lot of people here today, let's go in quickly."

Chu Qingyue was very happy to have someone accompanying her, "Okay."

The three girls walked into the Yunxiu workshop side by side.
