Chapter 48 The Old People Come to Make Trouble

"Two, four, six ??"

Zheng Liu thanked him after he bought the bun and gave him five cents. He sent him away first, gnawing on the bun in one hand and poking at the copper coin skillfully with the other, "Eighty-six, eighty-eight, ninety ??"

After a long time, he finally raised his head and let out a breath, "I have finished counting. There are a total of two to three hundred and nineteen of them."

Lei Tia quickly finished counting the last copper coin, "Two hundred and four hundred and fifty-three."

Qin Mian's eyes lit up, "Hahaha! "So much money, it only takes a day to earn back the monthly rent."

Lei Tia looked at his hands, "Tomorrow you will hire another assistant, you will only be in charge of receiving money."

Qin Mian only hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing, "Alright, it's five hundred gold."

The two of them pocketed the money, locked the door, and drove the cart home in the twilight. The evening breeze was even colder than the day, especially when one was climbing over the mountains. The wind was much stronger, so much so that it blew into one's neck and caused one to feel a chill. Qin Mian and Lei Tia sat next to each other and squeezed onto him. He did not understand why he did not enter the carriage.

Lei Tia changed the whip in his left hand and wrapped his right arm around the person.

"Wear more tomorrow."

"I'll go to the cloth shop tomorrow and buy some good cloth to make two scarves." Qin Mian rubbed his stomach, "I'm not full yet. I'll cook the hotpot when I get back. "

Lei Tia said: "The four hundred bamboo sticks are not bad."

Qin Mian understood what he meant, and laughed: "Don't worry. I want the bamboo stick to have other uses. "

Even half a month later, the delicious food in the restaurant had yet to decline, and it was only getting better and better. Qin Mian added the barbeque business in his shop. As the shop was very small, he discussed with the owner of the neighbouring grocery store and took up the open area in front of his shop. He then gave a monthly compensation of one hundred gold coins to the owner of the grocery store. Qin Mian was a good person, from time to time, he would give the owner a bowl of Ma La Pao or a few kebabs to eat. The last trace of displeasure in the boss' heart also disappeared.

The name of the restaurant became even more famous. There were even people in the county who specifically came to Flowing Water Town to eat hotpot and spicy barbecue just to pass this kind of spicy and spicy addiction. Two restaurants were also trying to sell hot pot and spicy hot sauce. Unfortunately, no matter how much they tried, the soup was not as delicious as the food in the restaurant. There was another restaurant that wanted to buy Qin Mian's secret recipe, but Qin Mian rejected it without hesitation.

Qin Mian Family's oxcart would always run towards the town every day, and finally attracted the attention of a rogue Qingshan Village. In less than a day, the matter of Qin Mian and Lei Tia opening a restaurant in the town swept through the entire village like a gust of wind.

"What?" When Madam Du heard the news, she accidentally smashed a bowl.

"Second Brother, did Big Brother really open a shop in the town?" Lei Xiangyi was in disbelief.

Lei Xiangren had an anxious face, "Really! It was Zhao Pingzi who told me this. At the begi

ing, I didn't believe it either, but after sneaking into the town to take a look, I was sure that not only that, the business was very good! "

Lei Xianglee secretly frowned, and said indifferently: "So what if big brother has opened a shop? It has nothing to do with us. "

"That's not what I said." Lei Xiangren glared at him, "I saw it, his shop even had two waiters. It would be unreasonable for him to rather invite others than us, wouldn't it? "

"This ??" Lei Xiangyi also felt a little awkward in his heart. The brothers had been looking for work recently, hoping to earn a few dollars to subsidize their families, but none had been found.

Lei Xianglee snorted, "That's their shop, whoever they want to hire is their business. Why must you invite us? "

Lei Daqiang's face alternated between red and white. At this moment, he regretted having a falling out with his boss. If it hadn't been for that incident, he could have had his boss invite his brothers into the store to help.

"Mom, say something." When Mrs Zhao thought about how she didn't get the advantage of that store, she felt as if a fire was burning in her heart.

Madam Qian also looked at him eagerly.

Madam Du boldly said: "What else is there to say? Since our brothers are opening their own stores, of course we have to use our own family. "

Lei Chuntao frowned, and said slowly: "Mother, did you forget? We've already separated from our big brother a long time ago, so we can't be considered as family. "

"You little girl!" The Madam Du angrily poked her on the head, "You know how to twist elbows!"

Madam Qian secretly gouged out Lei Chuntao's eyes, and affectionately hugged onto her arm, "Mother, what do you think we should do?"

The faces of Lei Xianglee and Lei Chuntao darkened at the same time.

Lei Xiangren squeezed to Madam Du's side.

"Old man, what do you think?" Madam Du did not immediately express her opinion and looked at Lei Daqiang.

Lei Daqiang slammed his hand on the table, "No matter what, disregarding your brother is wrong."

"Father, what do you think we should do?" We all listen to you. " Lei Xiangren immediately asked.

Lei Daqiang squinted his eyes, "When they return tonight, I will ask them to arrange for you brothers to go to the shop to help. If they don't agree, force them to agree. "

Lei Xiangyi was surprised, "This isn't good, is it?"

The corners of Madam Du's mouth curled up, her voice was gentle like a real mother, "It was passed down from the previous generation," Brother's heart was united, it was as sharp as gold. You five brothers should work together to have a future. "

"Father, you mustn't." Lei Xianglee suddenly stood up, "Our relationship with big brother is already extremely bad, if you really did that, the two families would become enemies."

"Is it as serious as you say?" Lei Xiangren pushed him to the side and said disdainfully, "Lao Si, you are just too cowardly. This won't do. "

Lei Xianglee and Lei Chuntao looked at each other, a sense of unease appearing in the bottom of their hearts. Lei Tia was alright, but from the few times they interacted with Qin Mian, it could be seen that Qin Mian was definitely not a simple youth that could be underestimated.

Lei Chuntao asked anxiously: "Father, Mother, have you forgotten what Fifth Bro said last time?"

Madam Du suddenly hesitated as she thought of the words that Lei Xiangzhi had told her last time he was back home. If the situation got out of hand, it would indeed be detrimental to Little Wu.

Lei Xiangren saw that the situation was not looking good and blocked Lei Chuntao's gaze, "Mother, I think Little Wu is overthinking it. It would be a good thing for Little Wu if we could earn more money. "Don't you think so?"

"Second Brother!" Lei Chuntao stomped her feet.

The Madam Du waved her hand and said, "Your Second Brother's words are reasonable. I think we should still arrange for people to come into their stores, and maybe we can use that as an opportunity to salvage the relationship between us and the family. "Old man, what do you think?"

Lei Daqiang nodded his head, "That's right, this is for the boss's own good. Lao Si, watch the movements there. When they come back, you come and tell me right away. "

Without waiting for Lei Xianglee to speak, Lei Xiangren rushed to say: "Father, I'll go. I have nothing else to do anyway."

"Alright."

The Madam Du had purposely brought forward the di

er by almost an hour. Lei Xiangren finished his meal quickly and went for a stroll at the entrance of the village. Seeing the familiar ox-cart from afar, he quickly ran back to his dwelling.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia were very tired from working the whole day, when they returned home, they locked the courtyard door and prepared to rest after taking a bath.

Before the hot water could boil, someone knocked on the door.

"Who?" Qin Mian raised his voice and asked.

"Sister-in-law, we are here to see you." Lei Xiangren laughed and shouted.

Halfway through his good mood, Qin Mian glanced at Lei Tia and turned back inside the house.

Lei Tia said towards the outside: "You guys go back, there's no need to come visit us."

After being silent for a while, Lei Daqiang coughed lightly and said forcefully: "Boss, your mother and I have come too. Hurry and open the door."

Lei Tia said indifferently: "Other than coming back for the new year's event, it's best if our two families stayed away from each other."

"What did you say?" Open the door first. " Lei Daqiang was patient.

"I know what you want to say. There were enough people in the shop, and it was impossible to fire the two guys with the paperwork. It's impossible for me to arrange the Second Brother and the rest to go to the shop. " Lei Tia said.

"You!" Lei Daqiang was so angry that his liver hurt.

Lei Xiangren was also filled with anger, "Big brother, aren't your words too heartless?"

Qin Mian could not bear it any longer and ran into the courtyard, "Second Brother, you have gone too far. When the two families split up, they said that both sides could not interfere in the other's family matters. Or could it be that you guys want to go to Precinct Head's house and have a good look at the document? "

"Good, good, good!" Madam Du said in a shrill voice, "Since you all do not put your younger brothers in your hearts, then don't blame me for bringing people to cause trouble at the store tomorrow."

In the yard next door, Zhou Erhao and his wife who were eavesdropping looked at each other. They shook their heads at the same time and felt pity for Lei Tia and his wife.

Qin Mian said coldly: "Oh? Try it. "

Lei Daqiang was enraged, "Let's go!"

Lei Xiangren yelled in anger and hatred, "Lei Tia, Qin Mian, consider this your ruthlessness!"

The sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the courtyard as Qin Mian walked back to his room with satisfaction.

Lei Tia walked beside him. "They can indeed do it. Don't be afraid, I have my own plans. "

"Would I be afraid?" Qin Mian's eyes flashed, he sneered, with his hands behind his back, he entered the house and calmly said, "I will be waiting for you to attack me. In fact, I was looking forward to their trouble. Heh, heh, heh. "

Lei Tia's back inexplicably went cold. This little daughter-in-law of his is really ??

"Why don't you come in and scoop up some water for a bath?" Qin Mian urged in the kitchen.

The next day, the restaurant was opened for business as usual.

At noon in the middle of the day, there were many guests. Many people were eating by the roadside with bowls in their hands. This was a phenomenon that had never occurred in any other restaurant.

Madam Du, Madame Zhao and Madam Qian walked over in anger.

Madam Du slapped her thigh, then sat on the ground and started howling, "Oh god, open your eyes. "My eldest son is unfilial ??"

All the customers in the shop were startled, they turned to look at Qin Mian and Lei Tia, and started whispering to each other.

"What's going on? "Which boss's mother is this old lady?"

The two employees, Zheng Liu and Wang Shun, looked at each other.

"It's the stepmother." Qin Mian added calmly and then walked out of the shop, "Everyone, you don't need to listen to your meal anyways, listen carefully."

When the Madam Du heard his words, she was stu

ed for a moment. Seeing his calm and confident expression, she felt an indescribable unease, and was unable to continue the disturbance.

"Mom, we're all depending on you." Mrs Zhao whispered.

The Madam Du pushed the Madam Du's back anxiously.
