Chapter 235: No Need to Keep Disloyal People
When we left the city and passed by the imperial farm, we turned in and took a look at the situation in the farm.
Let Cao Feng meet his parents.
Zi Su's mother followed Shopkeeper Su and left. Father Cao was also very happy to see his son coming back.
He quickly asked his wife to cook, killed an old hen, and cooked some vegetables grown in the fields.
I had such a good appetite that I ate two bowls.
The people in the village were very welcoming when they saw me. They greeted me whenever they met someone who was unhappy. Some of them had vegetables and wild fruits in their hands and insisted that I take some to eat.
This year, they were exempted from some rent, so they don’t have to pay as much as usual, and their lives are a little better. It’s not as difficult as in previous years.
I had no intention of staying long, knowing the situation on the farm, after dinner, I asked Cao Feng if he wanted to stay with my parents for two days, and then go with me when we left for Weibei.
Who knew Cao Feng shook his head and said no. He said I could come back often if I had the chance. Then he ran to the carriage to wait for me. I didn't force him. I continued to set off and returned to the town.
When it got dark, we finally returned to the familiar entrance of the town.
Seeing the place I had been away from for nearly 20 days, I felt a sense of long absence, like a tourist returning to his hometown.
I asked Cao Feng to drive the car directly to the door of the small shop that was converted into a milk tea shop. I wanted to check out the situation in the shop first before returning to the big house in the village.
There were two people who stayed in this store with me at that time. One was named Zhang Dahe and the other was named Wang Jun.
The carriage stopped on the street, I opened the window and looked into the store.
I felt that the atmosphere in the store was a little off. Zhang Dahe looked listless and was working honestly with his head down.
Wang Jun was arrogant and smug. He was pointing at Zhang Dahe and teaching him a lesson. "You don't know what's good for you. You will suffer in the future."
Zhang Dahe was wiping the table obediently. He looked up and glanced at Wang Jun, and replied, "Wang Jun, this store has always belonged to Madam Yun. She just hasn't come back yet. How can you betray her like this? How can you be worthy of her kindness to us in the past?"
"What's good about that? Isn't it normal to give us food and shelter? We have done some work. Besides, I am not betraying him. Mr. Xiao and him are husband and wife. We are the same."
Zhang Dahe was not good at speaking, and after Wang Jun's words, he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He just stared at him angrily.
"You're still glaring at me. They are husband and wife. Isn't it natural that the income from the store should be given to Mr. Xiao?"
"Don't think I don't know. Didn't Uncle Xiao say that? If you give the money to him, will he let you be the shopkeeper in the future? The accounts of this store were originally managed by Shopkeeper Su, and he was going to give it to Madam Yun. If you give the money to Uncle, then Madam Yun will have nothing, right?" Zhang Dahe angrily swept the rag in his hand onto Wang Jun.
"Hey, Zhang Dahe, are you looking for death? I'm the shopkeeper, why can't you do that? You know I'm the shopkeeper, but you still go against me like this. I'm worried that I'll sell you out later."
There were not many people outside the town at this time, and the conversation between the two people in the store could be heard clearly. I could hear it clearly, and I could tell clearly whether they were loyal or treacherous.
None of the four people who came back with me had seen these two people. I didn't know the reason. I didn't feel anything at first, and was surprised that I would park here.
Now she saw that my face was becoming more and more strange. Zi Su called out softly, "Madam Yun? Is there something wrong?" Her big eyes were full of doubts.
I was almost laughing at Wang Jun's anger at this moment, and sneered, "Haha, Zi Su, this shop is mine, and these two servants are bought by me. Now this slave dares to give away the profits at will. How dare he!"
After saying that, he got off the carriage and walked straight to the store.
Except Cao Feng who wanted to see the carriage, Zi Su and the other four people hurried over with me.
The two people inside saw so many people coming in at once and thought it was business. They were about to come up to greet them, but they saw that it was me who came back.
Zhang Dahe was very excited; "Mrs. Yun, you are finally back."
I nodded and comforted Zhang Dahe. "Don't worry, no one dares to sell you. I have your indenture. If there is anything, I will have the final say."
Wang Jun didn't expect me to come back at this time, and he didn't know how much I had heard, so he smiled awkwardly, "Madam Yun, you're back. You haven't eaten yet, right? Zhang Dahe, hurry up and make some noodles."
"Someone come and tie this thing up." I was getting more and more annoyed the more I looked at it and was too lazy to listen to him.
There is no need to keep unfaithful people.
Among the disciples brought back, Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi were the smartest. They immediately ran over and kicked Wang Jun to the ground, pulled up Wang Jun's belt, and tied his hands.
"Madam Yun, what did I do wrong? Why are you tying me up? Even the master can't beat or scold a slave at will!" Wang Jun was still shouting arrogantly.
Xiao Jiu kicked it and said, "You betrayed me. When did you get the right to comment on my business?"
"Miss, let's get rid of him. It's a hassle to keep a servant like him." Xiao Shi made a steady suggestion.
"Lock him up first, question him thoroughly, and then take further action." I agreed with Xiaoshi's suggestion.
"Uncle Xiao won't agree, Madam Yun, you can't do this." Wang Jun kept yelling.
Xiao Jiu slapped the back of his neck. Suddenly the world became quiet. Wang Jun fell to the ground, fainted.
"Dahe, you did a great job. Tell me exactly what happened in the store!"
Zhang Dahe organized his words and began to speak; "Madam Yun, on the third day after you left, I heard that Dalang of the Xiao family came back. After confirmation by the villagers, he moved into the mansion on the pretext that you were husband and wife. He then wanted to take over the affairs of the mansion, but Liu Niang and Manager Su refused. I don't know what means he used, but it didn't take long before some of the people in the embroidery room and other places began to listen to him. Wang Jun also handed over all the profits of the store to Dalang of the Xiao family. I wanted to stop him, but Dalang of the Xiao family said that if I stopped him, he would sell me to the coal mine. So I didn't stop him. Please forgive me, Madam Yun." Zhang Dahe knelt down after he finished speaking.
I helped him up. "It's okay. You get up first. We'll tie Wang Jun up in the back room tonight. Tie him up tightly. I'll come back and deal with him when I get back."
"Okay. I'll definitely watch it."
After that, with the help of Xiao Jiu, he dragged Wang Jun directly to the back room, gagged him, and found a few thick ropes to tie him to the pillars.
After settling the matters with the small shop, he asked Zhang Dahe to open the shop as usual tomorrow and then led them to the mansion.
