Chapter 212: Generous
“What happened?” Xia Mingyue asked with a frown.
"To be honest, Mrs. Xia, I am currently working in the kitchen of Yueran Restaurant. I usually do some chores such as chopping and washing vegetables. I had nothing to do originally, but today when I was cleaning up in the kitchen, I heard that Shopkeeper Zou of Yueran Restaurant..."
Lou Shanzi told Xia Mingyue everything he heard today about what Zou Fuquan told Gensheng.
“I don’t know who Manager Xue mentioned by Shopkeeper Zou and Gensheng is, but this person is obviously instigating Xia Ji, who instigates Shopkeeper Zou to embarrass Lady Xia.”
"Originally, I wanted to come over earlier, but the kitchen was busy, and I was afraid that people would be too busy during the day, and people would find out about my relationship with Madam Xia, so I could only sneak over under the cover of night to talk to Madam Xia. "
"According to that, Shopkeeper Zou is going to cause some trouble for Xia Ji this time. It would be better for Madam Xia to prepare early and see how to deal with it."
"I. Got it." Xia Mingyue frowned. He frowned and nodded heavily, "Brother Lou, please run over."
"Ms. Xia, you're welcome." Lou Shanzi said, "I already went out to see Na Gensheng in the afternoon. I don't know what to do." What, Madam Xia had better make preparations earlier."
"I ran out of Yueran Restaurant secretly. I can't stay outside for too long, so I have to go back early."< br>
"Brother Lou, walk slowly." Xia Mingyue opened the courtyard door.
"Ms. Xia, stay." After Lou Shanzi looked around for a while, he walked away quickly and disappeared into the night.
After Lou Shanzi left, Xia Mingyue closed the courtyard door, frowning in discomfort.
She didn’t know anyone named Xue, and she didn’t understand why this person named Xue instigated Zou Fuquan to deal with her Xia Ji.
But what Lou Shanzi said is right, it is better to make preparations earlier.
I just don’t know what kind of thing Zou Fuquan sent Gensheng to do, and how to target Xia Ji...
Xia Mingyue looked solemn, and Jiang Zhuguo beside him also frowned.
After a long time, Xia Mingyue said, "Would it be better to tell Brother Wu?"
Colleagues are looking for trouble, but on the surface they don't dare to do anything. In this case, report Officials are useless after all. Even those like Lu Qiyan who serve in the military have troubles. Many times it is difficult to take action.
When people like Wu Xiong come forward, some problems can be solved.
This is the benefit of being a person like him.
"I'll go there." Lu Qiyan said.
"Okay." Xia Mingyue nodded, opened the door for Lu Qiyan, watched him go out and disappeared into the Xinghua Lane as far as the eye could see, and then closed the door.
Lu Qiyan went all the way to Sifang Gambling House.
When he arrived, Wu Xiong was patrolling the casino as usual, taking a sip of wine from time to time and throwing a few peanuts into his mouth.
The boiled five-spice peanuts were bought from Xiaji Braised Meat Shop. They are crisp and refreshing, and are perfect for drinking.
After hearing that Lu Qiyan came here to look for him, he hurriedly invited him to the back, poured him a glass of wine, and greeted him with a smile, "Lu Qiyan is here now, but he wants to have a drink with the brothers. "One?"
"I'm really thinking about drinking with Brother Wu Xiong, but I came here to ask for help from Brother Wu Xiong." Lu Qiyan said.
Lu Qiyan needs his help?
Wu Xiong suddenly became serious and sat up straight, "Lu Dutou, tell me straight away." "I just got the news that Zou Fuquan, the shopkeeper of Yueran Restaurant, was instigated by Manager Xue. It seems that he is deliberately targeting Xia Ji.”
Lu Qiyan said, "Because I have to rush back to Xiaohezhuang early tomorrow morning to supervise the construction of the bridge, I can't stay at home to take care of it. I need to trouble Brother Wu Xiong to pay more attention these days to prevent Xia Ji from being exposed. Feel free to bully.”
“If things get difficult, Brother Wu Xiong must remember to send someone to Xiaohe Village to inform me.”
As Lu Qiyan spoke, he put a money bag in front of Wu Xiong, "These are for Brother Wu Xiong and the brothers to drink."
"Don't say that I am joining now. Even if we look at the relationship between Xia Ji and me, this matter of Xia Ji is my own business.”
"Don't worry, Lu Dutou, this matter is on my shoulders. I will send people to keep an eye on the business in Xia Ji to prevent those who want to cause harm from succeeding!"
Wu Xiong will himself His chest clattered, but he pushed Lu Qiyan's money bag back on the table, "Lu Dutou, you don't want to do this. I said, Xia Ji's matter is my own business, Wu Xiong." , since it’s his own business, how can there be any reason to accept Lu Dutou’s money?”
“Brother Wu Xiong is one of our own, but Brother Wu Xiong still needs to take care of his brothers, and he can’t let the brothers work in vain. What should be there must still be there," Lu Qiyan said.
Wu Xiong paused.
Indeed, he has a high prestige among this group of brothers. It is one thing to be loyal and skilled in daily life. It is also very important to make the brothers eat well and drink well, and to get enough benefits.
This money really needs to be spent.
"Lu Dutou is a generous and cheerful person. If I talk too much, it will make me look angry." Wu Xiong picked up the money bag, "Then I will thank Lu Dutou for the brothers first."< br>
"Brother Wu Xiong, you're welcome." Lu Qiyan handed over his hand and took the cup that Wu Xiong had poured. After finishing the drink, he said, "I am short of time today, so I really can't have a drink with Brother Wu Xiong. Let's have a drink together when we come back next time."
"I have to go out and take care of things." , say goodbye first."
"Lu Dutou walked slowly." Wu Xiong stood up and sent Lu Qiyan out.
Outside the gambling house, Lu Qiyan handed over his hand again, "Brother Wu Xiong, stay here."
"Hey." Wu Xiong chuckled and scratched the back of his head. After Lu Qiyan walked away, he took off the All the younger brothers came forward and told him that they would pay more attention to Xia Ji in the past few days.
“It’s a bit harder during this period. Go for a run around Xia Ji. If you encounter someone making trouble, you should deal with it as soon as possible. But remember, just try to drive people away to avoid any influence. Xia Ji’s normal business.”
< br>"It's so cold that you have to run outside too much. It's a shame. These coins were specially given by Lu Dutou, saying he wanted the brothers to get some wine to warm themselves up."
Wu Xiong said and distributed the money in the money bag.
Everyone got a small piece of silver, and after weighing it to make sure it was not light, they happily picked it up, and then declared that they would do their own thing well and not let outsiders bully Xia Ji.
It is natural to collect people’s money and eliminate disasters for others.
But, after taking the money, it means that we have wine. Are we missing some food to go with the wine?
Someone scratched their heads and tentatively raised this question to Wu Xiong.
“Are you thinking about the wine and food, or are you thinking about the braised vegetables and braised pork from Xia Ji Braised Meat Shop?” Wu Xiong rolled his eyes angrily.
The person below smiled and said, "Boss, aren't they all the same?"
