Chapter 235 Bankruptcy
Hearing this, Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing stared at him, each looking more scary than the other.
That's called a person who hates iron but cannot turn it into steel.
Shitou shrank back in fear, suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked weakly: "Sister, are you and your brother-in-law going to drive me away?"
Shang Wan: "..."
The child is hopeless.
Lu Chengjing: "..."
It should be too late to teach from scratch, right?
Seeing that the two of them were silent and not talking, Shitou's heart was beating wildly, and the image of himself begging on the street and freezing to death in the corner holding a broken bowl appeared in his mind.
Then... he was slapped on the back by Xiaohuan, which made him "ouch" in pain.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiaohuan glared and raised his hand to slap him. Shitou hurriedly hid aside, trying to hide behind his round little body.
Yuanyuanzai blinked blankly. Although he didn't quite understand, he moved his butt to the side, exposing the stone behind him.
Stone:"……"
What a fool!
Xiaohuan stared at him, her voice so angry that she said, "You don't know what your sister and brother-in-law have done to you? In your heart, are they that kind of people?"
Shitou was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had just said the wrong thing, and shook his head hastily, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that."
Xiaohuan continued to glare, "Then what do you mean?"
Shitou is wrong, Shitou is autistic.
Xiaohuan poked his head with her index finger, and there was a hint of resentment in her tone: "You just said that you listen to your sister and brother-in-law. They asked you to go to the academy. Do you listen?"
Looking at Xiaohuan who looked so fierce that he wanted to chop him into pieces, Shitou dared to say no?
He nodded quickly, "I'll go."
"Sister, brother-in-law," Xiaohuan turned to look at Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing, pointing to the stone, "He is willing to go to the academy to study."
Two people: "..."
Since opening the restaurant, Xiaohuan has become more and more tough, completely different from the girl who would jump up and scream when she saw a mouse.
In fact, Xiaohuan's idea was very simple. Since Shitou didn't think about the future, let smart people think for him.
Obviously Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing were both smart people in her eyes.
The two of them asked Shitou to study for Shitou's own good. Although they didn't know what their specific plans were, there was nothing wrong with studying to understand.
If Shitou has that kind of luck and can embark on an official career, it will be a help to himself and his family.
Shang Wan looked at the confused look on his face and said softly: "Your brother-in-law and I asked you to go to the academy to study. We are not forcing you to do well in your studies or to get a good reputation. We just hope that you will succeed in the future." Have more choices.”
It’s not that the family doesn’t have money, so it’s nothing to support one more scholar.
Shitou's mind is simple. He doesn't know what he wants to do now. Maybe the world he has seen is too small. It is so small that there is only one Dongning County, only one Yushu Village, and only one-third of an acre of their home.
There are vicissitudes of life and changes in the world in the book, and maybe he will become enlightened while reading it.
Even if Shitou still wants to be a wealthy man with leisure in the end, Shang Wan also hopes that he will choose to be a rich man instead of being a rich man because he can't think of other possibilities.
Shi Shi also understood that everyone was doing it for his own good. He nodded, "I will listen to you."
At this time, a small hand suddenly stretched out in front of him, spread its chubby fingers, and turned a small flower for him.
"ha!"
The little girl's voice was soft and waxy, her eyes were round and round, and she turned her wrist, and the little flower started to turn.
Feeling that one little hand is not enough, the other little hand also joins in and spins together.
Being disturbed by her, the serious atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they looked at each other. Xiaohuan scooped up the blooming dumplings and started kneading them. Why is it so popular?
·
The next day, the snow stopped and the sky cleared.
The warm winter sun shines on the body, seeming to force the cold out of the bones, making one feel drowsy with comfort.
"Hey, look, the restaurant opposite even took off its plaque."
"It was still hanging yesterday, why did it suddenly come off?"
"Maybe I don't want to lose any more money. No one's money comes from the strong wind."
"Hey, this restaurant owner has no customers, so it will be a matter of time before the restaurant closes."
The two guys were standing at the door chatting, holding a white rag in their hands and wiping the door frame.
"Hey, you two brats, I'm busy in the kitchen. You guys are just standing here chatting. Are you looking for a fight?" Mrs. Lou took out the pot and shovel menacingly, pretending to hit them.
The two guys quickly begged for mercy, "I won't dare to do it next time."
Seeing that the two of them had good attitudes, Mrs. Lou put away the spatula, tapped each of them on the forehead with her finger, and asked, "What were you looking at just now? What's missing?"
The waiter covered his head and pointed outward, "It's the door opposite. It seems to be closed on the other side."
Mrs. Lou turned her head and looked across.
I saw that the door of the restaurant opposite was closed, and the place where the plaque should have been hung was empty, giving it a sense of depression.
The landlady raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise, and turned it off.
She snorted softly and turned around to rush the two men to work.
God's way brings reincarnation, and today is such a good day!
In the afternoon, there were few customers in the store.
Mrs. Lou took off her apron, carrying a plate of fried melon seeds, and walked briskly into the door of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion next door.
Shang Wan sat behind the counter with his chin in his hands and looked at the account books. He saw Mrs. Lou coming in and motioned for her to come in and sit down.
Mrs. Lou ducked behind the counter, sat down next to Shang Wan, and while eating melon seeds, asked: "Why is the opposite door suddenly closed?"
"If it's closed, just close it." Shang Wan closed the ledger, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started cracking them, "If it's open, I'll pay for it."
Mrs. Lou spit out the melon seed rinds into the dregs bucket beside her. She looked up and down at the people around her with her wonderful eyes, trying to read something from the woman's face.
Shang Wan glanced at her sideways, looking a little tired, "Don't look, it was me who did it."
"Crack--" The melon seeds popped between the lips and teeth, and the sound of breaking open was crisp. Mrs. Lou turned her eyes and raised her hand to give Shang Wan a thumbs up.
Shang Wan curled his lips and did not ask Mrs. Lou why she was so concerned about this matter.
Madam Lou wanted to ask Shang Wan how he did it, but before the words came to her lips, she changed the subject, "The sisters are going to have a gathering at Baoyuzhai tonight, are you free?"
The proprietresses of Lancang Club have a regular gathering every month. In addition to chatting about their respective situations, the most common thing they talk about is gossip.
Shang Wan was invited to visit once, which was an eye-opener.
Being able to trick Qiao Yugui into the game so easily this time was also thanks to the gossip contributed by the boss ladies.
So Shang Wan nodded without even thinking about it.
Mrs. Lou instantly became happy and stuffed a small handful of melon seeds into Shang Wan's hand, "It's settled."
At night, Baoyuezhai is still brightly lit.
There were many guests sitting in the lobby, and almost all of them came for the hot pot. The food was full of aroma and was full of enthusiasm.
Shang Wan and Mrs. Lou got off the carriage and went straight to the third floor.
