Chapter 109 Don't Be Ignorant
Tian Biao, along with a few thugs, walked up to Su Wei's stall in a heroic and confident manner.
I didn't complete my assignment yesterday and got a good scolding from my boss.
I didn't expect these peasants would know to find Doctor Li in advance!
Tian Biao glanced at Su Xian coldly.
It was this boy who ruined his own good deeds!
Humph! I wasn't well prepared and was taken advantage of.
Today! He came prepared! Let's see what tricks they can come up with!
Seeing this scene, the diners dared not stay any longer.
As the saying goes, I would rather die than let my friends die. It is obvious that this man has bad intentions. If I don’t run away now, when will I run?
Liu Ruyan held Li's hand, pursed her lips, and looked coldly at the tall and thin man in front of her with a smug look on his face.
I spat in my heart.
These people, after failing to buy the formula yesterday, are here to cause trouble again!
Judging from the situation, I'm afraid he doesn't want to end things peacefully.
Su Xian's eyes were cold.
"I wonder what Shopkeeper Tian means by this?"
Tian Biao looked at Su Xian sinisterly and sneered.
"Oh! I didn't reach an agreement on the formula with you yesterday. My boss was very unhappy when I got home, so he asked me to have a good talk with you today."
As he spoke, he waved behind him.
A man immediately stepped forward from behind him and placed the stool in his hand next to him.
Tian Biao brushed off the non-existent dust on his body and sat down calmly.
Su Xian pulled Li and Liu Ruyan behind him and spoke in a cold voice.
"Shopkeeper Tian, I think I made it very clear yesterday. We don't sell the formula."
Tian Biao smiled gently.
"Haha, Brother Su, don't be so quick to refuse! Our boss said that if you don't like thirty taels, that's fine. We can negotiate fifty taels! How about that?"
Su Xian pursed his lips tightly, thinking about a strategy in his mind.
Tian Biao brought so many people here today. They look strong and powerful, and they are not easy to deal with.
They must be planning to resort to force if negotiations fail.
We are at a disadvantage here, and we will definitely suffer if we confront them head-on.
I can only deal with him first and take the opportunity to send someone to report to the government.
"Fifty taels..."
Su Xian frowned, seeming a little embarrassed.
I caught a glimpse of a figure hurriedly leaving, and I felt a lot more at ease.
Fortunately, he had guessed yesterday that things would be uneasy in the next few days, and he had arranged for a beggar to stake out not far away.
If you find something wrong, go to the authorities.
If they delay a little longer, they will not be able to act so arrogantly when the officials arrive.
Seeing him like this, Tian Biao snorted in his heart.
Yesterday, you said you would not sell it for a fortune! Now you have to give in!
Humph! If you don't scare them, you're not being honest!
The person in front of him looked easy to talk to and gave a dry laugh.
"Haha! No problem, no problem. Sixty taels!"
Not far away, behind a stall, a pair of eyes were wide open!
From the initial gloating, it turned into sinister and raging jealousy.
Why! Why can they be so prosperous!
Sixty taels! A recipe can actually be sold for sixty taels!
This person is none other than Shen Xiuying, the ex-wife of Su Quanzhong, the eldest son of the Su family.
Life was not easy for Shen after she returned.
She had been using the Su family's money to subsidize her mother's family, and she also tried to curry favor with her younger brother for the sake of her youngest son Su Xuan's studies.
His younger brother Shen Rujin was a legal advisor in the government office. Su Xuan was studying there and staying at his place. It was also thanks to him that he was able to enter the academy.
A few days ago, he said that he wanted to marry a lady from the provincial capital. That lady was the daughter of the principal of Qingluan Academy where Su Xuan studied.
If the marriage goes through, not only will he become successful, but Su Xuan will also benefit a lot.
So she took out more than fifty taels of silver and land deeds that she had embezzled from her family over the past ten years.
Prepare to support my younger brother and help him make good things come true.
However, she didn't expect that not only did she not give the money, but she was divorced and sent back to her parents' home.
The Shen family saw their hopes dashed, and now there was an extra mouth to feed in the house for no reason!
Naturally, the attitude towards her took a sharp turn for the worse.
Her eldest brother and sister-in-law ridiculed her and excluded her openly and covertly.
All the housework is left to her!
I have been tortured beyond recognition in just one month!
She knew that she acted like this because she could no longer bring benefits to the family.
I thought today was the day when my two sons would receive their wages.
These two sons always listened to her. If she asked them, wouldn't they give her the money obediently?
So she went to the dock early in the morning.
But she didn't expect the foreman to tell her that both of his sons no longer worked at the dock!
I promised to bring back the money today! What should I do?
She had no choice but to use the last few copper coins she had saved to buy some food.
Her family members are always grateful for her help, so we shouldn't be too harsh on her.
I came here with a sigh, because I heard that the Su-flavored crayfish is a specialty.
I just wanted to buy some to take home and entertain my family.
Who would have known that this Suwei was actually opened by that sickly Li from the Su family!
Just when she was about to go up and get some benefits, someone came to cause trouble.
Fortunately, she was smart and hid behind an empty stall and was not seen by anyone.
I could hear their conversation clearly!
That's sixty taels! I haven't saved up sixty taels in my entire life!
This bitch hid it so well! Why didn't she take it out when I was here?
Su Xian was still a little embarrassed and frowned as he thought about it.
"Sixty taels... Shopkeeper Tian, you are a bit..."
Tian Biao snorted coldly.
"Brother Su, I am still willing to have a good talk with you, please don't be ungrateful."
Su Xian pretended to be afraid.
"Manager Tian, it's not that I don't know what's good for me, but this recipe is related to our family's livelihood, can you add a little more?"
The fear was fake, but I felt a little anxious.
Why haven’t the government officials arrived yet?
Tian Biao saw his reaction and sneered.
"Brother Su, think about it carefully. If I bring people here every day, can you still do business?"
"You don't think it's useful to sue the authorities? It's not against the law for me to take people to the snack stalls."
Su Xian's heart sank.
This is preparation for playing rogue!
Tian Biao continued to sneer.
"It would be bad if my people accidentally damaged your signboard or knocked down your stall..."
"I heard that Brother Su is also a scholar, so he must be smart. Think about it carefully! I don't have a very good patience."
There was a hint of coldness on Su Xian's cold face.
Tian Biao is so confident that it seems he is in collusion with the government.
I have suffered losses at the hands of the government before, so I cannot put all my hopes on them.
We have to think of other ways.
Now that Aunt Li and Aunt Liu are here, if Tian Biao is really so cruel as to ask people to take action, I'm afraid he will be affected.
It seems that I can only give a prescription that is neither true nor false to calm the person down first.
When they get the recipe to try it out, they still have to ask Shangguan Ze for help...
Shangguan Ze is a wealthy man in the county, and given my relationship with him, he will definitely help me.
His brother-in-law is Dr. Li. With Dr. Li's reputation, if he puts pressure on him, this small shopkeeper would not dare to act rashly.
It’s just that I owe you a big favor.
This is Yue'er's business, I must keep it for myself!
What's wrong with asking for help? Everyone has down times. In the future, you will pay them back a thousand times!
Shen was scratching her head behind the stall.
This Su Xian really doesn't know what's good for him. He's not even satisfied with sixty taels of silver!
Promise it quickly!
I promised myself that I would go and complain to my two sons about my troubles and poverty, and I would get some benefits from it more or less!
Su Xian had an idea in his mind, his eyes were gloomy, and he was ready to give a fake prescription to get away first.
Liu Ruyan suddenly walked forward, her beautiful eyes filled with ice.
