Chapter 349 Zhang Xingchang was blackmailed
On the other side of the primary school, the dilapidated Taoist temple will open the gate of the Taoist temple at six o'clock in the morning as always. Tundi went to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast, and then wandered back to his room.
They live in a small cement room with two simple wooden beds and an old cabinet and table.
The old Taoist priest tremblingly walked to the other small bed, pushed the sleeping person on the bed and asked him to get up for breakfast.
In the past, he could wake up with just a gentle push, but today he couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed, and his wrinkled face showed an abnormal whiteness.
The old Taoist priest was stunned for a few seconds before he understood what was going on. He looked at the man on the bed with a smile that seemed to be relieved, and he also smiled, "It seems that you have completed what you want to do. Have a good journey." , old man.”
The old Taoist priest walked out of the Taoist temple slowly with his cane to find people around him to help deal with the old man’s funeral.
Suddenly he seemed to feel something. The old Taoist priest raised his head and looked in the direction of the primary school, watching the sun rise slowly from there. The sun was so dazzling that he murmured, "The sun is so bright today, it's a pity that the old Taoist priest The guy can't see it."
......
Yang Fan and the others returned in the afternoon. Before leaving, Fu Cancan secretly found Zhang Xingchang and Feng Lan and asked his doubts. .
"Uncle, aunt, what's wrong with our restaurant? How come no one comes to eat recently?"
Her uncle is so good at cooking. When she came here before, she saw many people in the restaurant. Why is it like this? No one came to eat in the store for two days.
Zhang Xingchang looked at her, sighed, and sat on a stool nearby, "Cancan, it's a long story."
Fu Cancan: "Then you Let’s make a long story short.”
Zhang Xingchang: “…”
"Let me tell you," Feng Lan couldn't stand it anymore and said bluntly, "Your uncle was blackmailed before."
"Blackmailed?"
"Yes."
Zhang Xingchang’s restaurant business has always been pretty good, because he is good at craftsmanship, warm, kind and honest, and has many old customers in the store.
Until four or five months ago, an old customer who lived in another street and often came to the store to eat was an old man in his sixties. He fell down on the road.
At that time, Zhang Xingchang happened to be returning from there to pick up the express delivery. When he met him, he kindly helped the old man and sent him to the hospital.
As a result, the old man confused the truth and said that Zhang Xingchang pushed him into this situation and asked him to pay compensation.
Zhang Xingchang said that he was wronged. He had good intentions to help people, so why was he blackmailed?
But he was the one who pushed the old man to bit him to death. No one was around and there was no surveillance. The old man’s daughter and son came to the restaurant every day to make trouble, and even went to court, and he was finally sentenced Lost 20,000 yuan.
Zhang Xingchang was kind enough to help others, not to mention that the old man spread rumors about him everywhere. The county was so small, and the old man was usually seen as a good person in everyone's eyes, so naturally everyone believed his words. .
And not long after his accident, the old man's son opened a small restaurant on another street. The dishes were similar to his, and the taste was similar.
Those who were eating all went to the old man's son's house to eat, and no one came to Zhang Xingchang's place to eat.
And what made the couple most angry was that the old man’s son used to be a chef in their restaurant and learned his skills from them.
He turns around and harms others, which is totally unconscionable!
If it weren’t for the fact that this shop was owned by the family and they didn’t need rent, the couple would have closed the shop and found another way out.
Feng Lan was very angry when he talked about it, and cursed, "The Xia family are all rotten people. I cursed them to give birth to children without buttholes, and the children they gave birth to were mentally retarded!"
"Uncle, what happened? Why don't you tell us about such a big thing," Fu Cancan was angry and sad.
They had no idea that such a big thing had happened. If they had known, they would certainly not have allowed that family to bully them like this.
Zhang Xingchang scratched the back of his head, "Your parents are also very busy, so there is no need to talk about this little thing to make you all feel bad together." They are all ordinary farmers, and they have no power or influence in the family. , how can you fight those scoundrels?
Saying it would have no other effect than making them worry together, and he knew that his sister's life was difficult, and he didn't want to cause any trouble to them.
Fu Cancan knew what he was thinking. The more this happened, the angrier and sadder she felt.
Her grandparents gave birth to four children in total, two sons and two daughters. However, the eldest son contracted an illness and died not long after he was born. Her mother was the second eldest, her uncle was the third, and she also had a sister-in-law. .
"Do my grandparents and aunt know about this?"
Her grandparents were taken by her aunt to live in Hainan after the year and are no longer here.
"I didn't tell you. Your grandparents are old and I don't want them to worry too much."
Zhang Xingchang said: "Don't tell them either. If they know about it, they will definitely fly back from Hainan."< br>
“I didn’t even tell your brother and your sister about this.”
He was referring to their two children, both of whom were working in other places, and he didn’t want them to Know these things.
When Fu Yonghui and his wife came back to their hometown during the last Dragon Boat Festival, there was no business in the store.
In order to prevent them from seeing anything wrong, Zhang Xingchang and his wife did not entertain them in the hotel, but closed the store and went back to the countryside to play.
At that time, Aunt Zhang complained that he did not open a store to do business during his good days, which was a delay in making money.
Zhang Xingchang replied to her with a smile. At his age, he still had to rest when he should.
Fu Cancan: "My mother would be even more angry if she knew you were hiding this from her."
They didn't even say anything about such a big thing, and they didn't treat them as a family. People.
"I also think we should say it," Feng Lan looked at Zhang Xingchang angry and helpless, "but your uncle didn't let it, he felt shameless."
What do you say if you don't want your family to worry? It's more about men who deserve to die Self-esteem and face.
When Aunt Fu Cancan was not married, Zhang Xingchang lived the best life among the three siblings. He had a house and a car in the county and ran a small restaurant with a good business. His two children were also very happy. I am confident that I will get into a good university and have a good job.
When Aunt Fu Cancan got married later, she still married into a high position because his family members were doing well and he would not be embarrassed in front of her family members.
Now because his family suddenly became like this, Zhang Xingchang couldn't accept it and didn't want others to know.
Feng Lan has lived with him for most of his life and still doesn't know what he thinks. It's not that he's considerate, but it's more that he doesn't want people to see him in despair, for the damn sake of face.
After someone revealed the truth, Zhang Xingchang felt a little embarrassed. He said harshly, "It's okay. Anyway, we are getting older and it's time to take a rest. If the restaurant can't keep it open, it won't be able to keep it open." Rent out the shop and go home to collect the rent.”
His family is not that short of money anyway.
Fu Cancan is also a little helpless. His uncle is very proactive when it comes to other people's problems, just like helping her scold the family of scumbags. Whenever he encounters his own problems, he is only willing to take charge of them himself.
"Your son and daughter are not married yet," Feng Lan scolded him, "If you don't open a shop to make money, I'll see where you can get the money to pay for gifts for your son and dowry for your daughter!"
"I can make money without opening a restaurant!"
Zhang Xingchang is still tough, "Cancan, you have to help your uncle keep this secret. You can't tell others."
"Sorry, we I heard it all." Yang Fan's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
