Chapter 120 Get Out of Yanguan Town
After Tong Huaqiong took everyone to eat and drink at Fengle Building, the moon was already in the sky.
"Today is the first time. From now on, we will come to Fengle Building for a meal every month. Everyone, please go back and rest early, so as not to delay the start of work tomorrow." Tong Huaqiong said.
It takes a long time to eat today, and Yin Zheng and Tong Huaqiong will get up and get ready tomorrow.
Making dim sum and catering is more difficult than usual, because eating ingredients need to be prepared in advance, otherwise customers will be left waiting if time is missed.
That would delay business too much.
"It's too late today, why not just spend the night in the shop." Gu Taohua said.
She really didn’t want to go back to Qinghewan. The thought of getting up early tomorrow and rushing on the road gave her a headache.
"Okay." Tong Huaqiong didn't want to go back to Qinghewan. After hearing what Gu Taohua said, she readily agreed.
It has just opened. There is not much in the two warehouses, so people can sleep on the floor.
People can also live in the store.
However, not everyone is suitable for living in a shop.
Besides, there aren’t that many beddings in the shop.
Tong Huaqiong thinks it is better for her family to live in a shop, after all, they have to get up early.
Others don't need to live in the shop, especially Gu Xiaocao. If she doesn't go back, Gu Guangkui and his wife can worry about going to the shop to find someone.
Tong Huaqiong told everyone the arrangement of who would live in the shop and who would go back to work until dawn. No one had any objections.
"Shopkeeper, don't worry. Qingyou and I will send Gu Xiaocao home and watch her come in before returning to our house." Liu Qiaoyun knew that Tong Huaqiong must be worried about Gu Xiaocao, so she said.
"That's okay. You guys can come together tomorrow morning." Liu Qiaoyun and Tong Huaqiong were relieved as they worked.
"Aunt Tong, we will come early tomorrow morning." Mrs. Hu said.
Not everyone in the Gu family stayed. Gu Dahan couldn't worry about the wheat in the field. He insisted on going back and coming back early the next morning.
After all, the wheat was about to be harvested, and he was worried about who stole the wheat at night. He had to watch it personally before he could rest assured.
Tong Huaqiong did not stop him.
After Gu Dahan and others returned to Qinghewan, Tong Huaqiong and other Gu family members also planned to take a rest.
"Who is at the door? I'm scared to death." After washing her face, Gu Taohua went to splash water. She was startled when she saw a drunken man squatting at the door.
Gu Dashua is responsible for the security of Taohua Dessert. As soon as he heard Gu Taohua’s cry, he rushed out with a fork.
"Where is he? Is he a little thief?" Gu Dashu yelled under the influence of wine.
Looking carefully under the moonlight, the person squatting under the wall is not someone else, but Shopkeeper Feng, the former shopkeeper of the Crispy Food Garden.
"Okay, I didn't see you after being on guard for a whole day, but you showed up at this time."
Gu Dashu was furious. He had been staring at the crowd all day, because he was afraid of Shopkeeper Feng. To cause harm.
The whole day went smoothly and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Feng appeared outside the door of Peach Blossom Dessert in the dead of night.
Fortunately, I didn’t go back to Qinghewan today, otherwise shopkeeper Feng would have done something bad to the shop, such as setting fire to it, and all my hard work would have been in vain.
Thinking of this, Gu Dashu kicked Shopkeeper Feng.
Gu Jingzhe, who ran out after hearing the news, and Gu Dashu held down shopkeeper Feng, then gagged and tied him up and twisted him into the yard.
Tong Huaqiong, who was about to go to sleep, got up when he heard the noise and came to the yard. When he saw shopkeeper Feng, he remembered that Feng Chuan was still locked in the woodshed.
Damn it, I have been busy all day today and forgot about Feng Chuan in the woodshed.
Gu Jingzhe said to Tong Huaqiong: "Don't worry, mother, Feng Chuan is fine."
Gu Jingzhe is still reliable.
While smiling at the aunt, Gu Jingzhe also took the time to give Feng Chuan water and food.
He knew that Tong Huaqiong locked up Feng Chuan to threaten shopkeeper Feng and to allow Peach Blossom Dessert to open smoothly, not to kill Feng Chuan.
So during such a hectic day of opening the business, he had not forgotten Feng Chuan who was locked up in the woodshed.
“You still don’t give up? Still want to come against me?” Tong Huaqiong said to Shopkeeper Feng with a sneer.
Shopkeeper Feng whined and screamed in Gu Dashu's hands. He was originally looking depressed, but when he heard that Feng Chuan was okay, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This moment of light was caught by Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong thought to herself that shopkeeper Feng treated Feng Chuan better than she treated a few bad bamboos.
No wonder Shopkeeper Feng thought that he could threaten Gu Dashu by taking her life. He was relying on himself to push others, thinking that everyone could risk their lives for his son.
Tong Huaqiong ordered Gu Dashu to tear off the rag from Shopkeeper Feng’s mouth.
Shopkeeper Feng felt his breath ease and asked hurriedly: "Where is Feng Chuan?"
Tong Huaqiong sighed. In just two days, shopkeeper Feng went from being a decent crispy food to The garden manager became a depressed unemployed person.
"Shopkeeper Feng, Feng Chuan owes me money." Tong Huaqiong carried Feng Chuan's IOU with him. Chen Sufen stood aside with a lamp. Tong Huaqiong unfolded the IOU for shopkeeper Feng to see clearly.
“Didn’t he mortgage the shop in Su Shiyuan to you?” Shopkeeper Feng asked.
Widow Tong has such a dark heart. She mortgaged her shop and still kept an IOU.
Tong Huaqiong said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Feng, are you naive or am I stupid? The surname of Crispy Food Garden is Ma, not Feng. Feng Chuan mortgaged the shop to me, do you think I can take it?"
“So I had to be a good person and gave the land deed and seal of the Crispy Food Garden to Ma Ming. Now Ma Ming still owes me a favor.”
Shopkeeper Feng felt that Tong Huaqiong's smile was scary.
He understood that the reason why his boss Ma Ming knew what Feng Chuan had done was because Tong Huaqiong tipped him off, and the exchange was for him to leave the Crispy Food Garden.
He lost this round after all.
Shopkeeper Feng then discovered to his horror that he now had nothing.
Feng Chuan owes Tong Huaqiong a thousand taels of gambling debt. Now he can't even pay out ten taels of silver. Will Tong Huaqiong let Feng Chuan go?
"Now Feng Chuan owes you one thousand taels of silver. I can't pay it off for the time being. I'd like to ask Shopkeeper Tong to give you some grace." Shopkeeper Feng gritted his teeth and called Tong Huaqiong from "Widow Tong" to Shopkeeper Tong.
Although he was no longer willing to give in, shopkeeper Feng still lowered his head to Tong Huaqiong.
If he didn't bow his head, he couldn't guarantee whether Tong Huaqiong would chop off Feng Chuan's hand. After all, this widow didn't even care about her own son, so how could she care about his nephew's palm.
"Shopkeeper Feng, now is not the time for you to bargain with me." Tong Huaqiong looked down at shopkeeper Feng.
Is it because people have been in power for so long that they even ask for help with a condescending attitude?
Tong Huaqiong didn't like Shopkeeper Feng's attitude.
"I can let Feng Chuan go." Tong Huaqiong said, "The premise is that you take him out of Yanguan Town. Once you show up in Yanguan Town, don't blame me for being rude."
Tong Huaqiong raised the IOU.
She didn't want to push Feng Chuan into a desperate situation. Who knows what he would do if he pushed a gambling dog into a desperate situation.
And now there is a gambling dog and a mad dog in front of her, and she doesn't want to get involved with it.
The best result is to send the cheap father and son out of Yanguan Town.
After all, her goal is not a thousand taels of silver, but a stable business.
Tong Huaqiong ordered Gu Dashu to take Feng Chuan out of the woodshed.
Feng Chuan has been terrified for the past three days.
No one beat him or tortured him. They just locked him up and refused to let him sleep. He felt like he was on the line between life and death.
At this time, Feng Chuan just wanted to sleep and leave the woodshed.
“Dad.” When Feng Chuan saw Shopkeeper Feng, he changed his title from second uncle to real father again.
“Leave Yanguan Town and get the hell away from me.”
Tong Huaqiong shook the IOU in his hand and smiled gently at Shopkeeper Feng.
Shopkeeper Feng gritted his teeth and limped away from Peach Blossom Dessert with Feng Chuan, who was limp into a crab without legs.
"Mom, are we going to let them go like this?" Gu Dashu asked unwillingly.
Tong Huaqiong said: "Otherwise, it's hard to kill them. Even if you want them dead, it's not our turn to do it."
"Will Shopkeeper Feng take revenge on us? Chen Sufen asked anxiously.
Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "No."
She was not the only one who didn't want Shopkeeper Feng to appear in Yanguan Town or even Pingchuan County, but also Ma Ming.
Compared to Tong Huaqiong, Shopkeeper Feng's biggest enemy is now his former employer. Shopkeeper Feng has done so many dirty things to make the Sweet Food Garden the only pastry shop in Yanguan Town. It is hard to say that there is no hint from Ma Ming in this.
Ma Ming will never make things easy for Shopkeeper Feng. Shopkeeper Feng is already exhausted mentally and physically just avoiding Ma Ming. How can he still have the energy to deal with Peach Blossom Dessert.
Besides, after leaving the Sweet Food Garden, Shopkeeper Feng still has the ability to deal with Peach Blossom Dessert.
