Chapter 163 Two Fat Men Who Want to Lose Weight
After a while, Fu Wu came out carrying two dishevelled men and threw them on the ground.
A fat man with a big belly, a woman with high cheekbones and heavy makeup.
The waiter in the teahouse looked panicked and wanted to go forward to help but didn't dare.
Fu Wu reported: "Miss, this shopkeeper Yu brought his mistress into the teahouse to hang out."
"You, who are you? You broke into my teahouse and caused trouble. Do you know whose teahouse this is?" Shopkeeper Yu got up from the ground, pointed at Fu Wu's nose and cursed in frustration.
He was almost mad. He was about to die of anger. He was just about to get into a fight with his lover when this idiot forcibly pulled them apart. He was almost scared to death. Where did this robber come from?
Jian Yue said faintly: "I know, this is my teahouse."
Shopkeeper Yu laughed strangely: "Ha! What did you say? Your teahouse? You are not smart..." He seemed to have thought of something, and his voice stopped abruptly, his face flushed into the color of liver, "You, you are..."
Mu Xiang scolded: "You blind dog, you didn't even recognize the eldest daughter of the Dong family when she was right in front of you."
Shopkeeper Yu shuddered and quickly knelt down: "Boss, Miss, I am blind..."
Jian Yue waved her hands and said, "Tie them all up and accuse Manager Yu of embezzling public funds to support a mistress. Send them all to the government office."
"No! Boss, Miss, I know I was wrong, please give me a chance to make a new beginning..."
Fu Yun and Fu Wu quickly tied up the three men. Fu Wu took out the key from Manager Yu and gave it to Jian Yue, and hired a bullock cart to send them away.
Jian Yue first looked at the teahouse's inventory, and found only half a pound of moldy tea. It seemed that all the good tea had been resold by Shopkeeper Yu. She then looked through the account book, which showed that the teahouse was losing money every month.
Jian Yue didn't believe it.
If the teahouse was losing money every month, it should have closed down long ago. She guessed that Xie Chujiao must have sold everything that could be sold before handing over the shop.
After waiting for a while, Fuwu and Fuliu came back. A few people went to Fuyuan Cloth Shop again.
Fuyuan Cloth Shop was also very quiet, not because business was bad, but because the shelves in the shop were empty and there was no stock.
Jian Yue was so angry that she laughed.
Do you think that you can solve the problem by removing the firewood from under the cauldron? Does she look so easy to bully?
The owner and his clerks of Fuyuan Cloth Shop were also sent to the government office.
Yan Xiuyuan was confused by Jian Yue's operation. He didn't understand why the shopkeeper and his assistants were sent to the government office. When he interrogated them one by one, he was furious and his face was as black as ink.
Jian Yue went to see the small farm outside the city again. The farm had 60 mu of land and only five tenants. Perhaps because there was not much money to be made in the farm, neither the farm owner nor the tenants were replaced.
Jian Yue talked to Qin Zhuangtou for a while. Qin Zhuangtou was very respectful and said that he came with the ex-wife, the original owner's mother, as a dowry. As for their family's indentures, they are now in the hands of the stepmother. Jian Yue said that she would take their indentures.
Qin Zhuangtou was very happy. They naturally preferred to be loyal to the old master rather than be controlled by the stepmother who intercepted them halfway.
Yan Xiuyuan returned home angrily and threw a stack of confessions in front of Xie Chujiao.
Xie Chujiao didn't understand and complained aggrievedly: "Ever since I got sick, the master has become more and more disgusted with A Jiao." She picked it up and glanced at it, and her face changed drastically.
"My husband, this is unfair! These damned servants must have been dishonest and wanted to throw dirty water on me. My husband, these dogs are too hateful. We can't keep them any longer. Sell them all!"
Xie Chujiao was so angry that her face was shaking. Yan Xiuyuan looked at her and smelled the stench coming from her body, which made him feel sick. He took a few steps back without leaving a trace: "It's useless for you to say these words to me. Go explain to Yue'er!"
Xie Chujiao looked sad: "Husband, you are becoming more and more indifferent to Gillian."
In the past, she always made people love her when she made such an expression. But now, with a greasy black fat face, making such an expression again, it is unbearable to look at.
Ever since the Second Prince brought Yan Xinning to Yue's residence, he shamelessly forced Doctor Mao to prescribe a prescription, and Yan Xinning also copied one for Xie Chujiao.
They both were determined to lose weight. In the first few days, they gritted their teeth and shed tears to strictly follow the prescription: eating wild vegetables, drinking wild vegetable soup, and eating coarse grain steamed bread mixed with wheat bran. Not to mention, they actually lost a few pounds.
The two were happy, but also in agony. When would this hard life end? Every day, they could not eat the delicacies from land and sea, and their mouths were filled with bitter and astringent tastes. They almost collapsed.
So, today they secretly added a bowl of bird's nest porridge, tomorrow they secretly added a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, and had some dessert after the meal. As time went by, the wild vegetable steamed bread on the table disappeared, and the weight of both of them went back up.
Losing weight is a very, very painful thing, and the two of them simply couldn't stick to it. So, they could only watch painfully as the fat on their bodies grew more and more.
"Father." Jian Yue led a few people into Jinxiu Garden. The old woman guarding the gate was unable to stop them and was kicked to the ground.
When Biyu's four maids tried to stop them, Jian Yueliang drew out a dagger and said ruthlessly, "Whoever dares to stop me will have her scalp shaved off."
The four maids were so frightened that their scalps went numb, and no one dared to step forward. Jian Yue successfully entered Xie Chujiao's room.
Yan Xiuyuan smiled: "Yue'er is back, you..."
"Did father try those termites?"
Yan Xiuyuan's smile froze: "They were interrogated. They..."
"Father, shouldn't Yan Xinning return the money from the shop to me?"
Yan Xiuyuan looked embarrassed: "Yue'er, it's not her..."
Jian Yue's face darkened: "Father also thinks that we shouldn't spit out what we eat?"
Yan Xiuyuan sighed: "Yue'er, you are still young and can't spend much money at the moment. Why don't you keep the money with your stepmother first, and when you get married, let your stepmother prepare a generous dowry for you."
"Did father know? In fact, these shops are not in Yan Xinning's hands, but have always been in my stepmother's hands."
This was the fact, and Yan Xiuyuan was speechless.
Jian Yue looked at Yan Xiuyuan disappointedly without saying anything.
Yan Xiuyuan felt inexplicably guilty and could not stand Jian Yue's death gaze, so he had to compromise: "Forget it, forget it, just let your stepmother give you the exchange money."
"Not only the exchange, but also all the profits from the shop since my stepmother took over."
"All..." No need to be so cruel, right?
Yan Xiuyuan was shocked by Jian Yue's request.
When Xie Chujiao saw Jian Yue, she felt like she had seen the murderer of her father. She had been trying to suppress her hatred and anger because Yan Xiuyuan was there, but when she heard Jian Yue's big mouth, she immediately exploded: "You're dreaming! You've hurt me and Xin Ning like this, and you still want money? Bah!"
Jian Yue spread her hands...
