"Uncle He, where do you want the side dishes?"
At this moment, Xu Huizhen opened the curtain at the back door and walked in with a bowl of cold dishes to go with the wine.
Old He looked back and pointed at the small table behind the counter.""Put it at the back. I'll share it later.”
"I'll split it."
Xu Huizhen put down the small basin and immediately took out some plates from under the cabinet. She picked up the chopsticks and began to sort them.
Li Wen looked at Xu Huizhen's back and then gave Qiang Zi a look.
Qiang Zi was smart. He immediately stood up and walked to the counter."Shopkeeper He, give me another two taels.”
"Yo, Qiang Zi, you're good. Two taels again? Are you not going to live tomorrow?"
Old He was delighted. He knew that people like Qiang Zi, who rode three-wheeled motorcycles and had a dry neck, would not have a bright future.
It was already good enough to earn a few cents a day. Qiang Zi had just drunk two taels, and now he had two taels. Did he really spend tomorrow's money?
"Haha, I'll be happy after drinking it." Qiang Zi didn't say anything. He still had eight yuan in his pocket!
Drink as much as you want.
"Alright, I'll get it for you."
When Old He handed over the cheap wine, he said,
When they were collecting the money, Qiang Zi said,""Shopkeeper He, I went to Niulan Mountain yesterday to deliver goods. Guess who I saw?”
"Who did you see?" Old He asked curiously.”
"Your He Yongqiang." Qiang Zi said casually, as if he was not paying attention.
Upon hearing He Yongqiang's name, Xu Huizhen immediately turned around and looked at Qiangzi.
"Have you seen our Yongqiang?"
Ever since He Yongqiang beat up a customer and ran away, Old He had not seen this stepson for more than half a month.
When she heard that there was news about him, she could not help but ask,"How is he doing at Niulan Mountain?”
Seeing that he had attracted Xu Huizhen's attention, Qiang Zi coughed twice and said,""That…is alright."
Old He said unhappily," What do you mean by alright? This rascal is restless in the tavern. I wonder if he often causes trouble when he goes to Niulan Mountain."”
Speaking of this stepson, Old He had too many complaints.
Not long after he came to the tavern, he had a conflict with the customers. After that, he even fought with them. Not only did he make Old He lose a sum of money, but he also caused the tavern's business to drop a lot.
After all, the He family wasn't the only tavern in Dazhalan. Who would dare to come to this tavern if there was a shopkeeper who beat people up?
If it weren't for the fact that Old He's ancestors had opened a tavern here and had many regular customers, the business would have been ruined long ago.
So,
Old He racked his brains and found a smart and virtuous Xu Huizhen.
He thought that he could tie He Yongqiang down in the future and not let the tavern that had been run by his family for several generations close down.
"That shopkeeper He, I can't say for sure.”Qiang Zi glanced at Xu Huizhen. That sneaky gaze made people very suspicious.
When Old He heard this, he could not help but say,""What's hard to say? Did He Yongqiang cause trouble at Niulan Mountain?”
"Haha, Shopkeeper He, your son doesn't have any other abilities, but his ability to cause trouble is first-class!”
Suddenly, someone among the guests burst into laughter.
"That's right. If Qiangzi doesn't say it, it must be He Yongqiang who caused trouble at Niulan Mountain.”
"Shopkeeper He, I think you might as well give the tavern to your future daughter-in-law. Otherwise, if you hand it over to He Yongqiang in the future, you'll ruin the tavern that has been passed down in the He family.”
The customers in the tavern began to discuss in a few words.
Hearing these people talking about He Yongqiang, Xu Huizhen was a little unhappy. Although she had no feelings for He Yongqiang, he was still her fiancé in name, so she naturally had to protect him.
Old He's face darkened as he looked at Qiang Zi and said,""Qiangzi, if you have anything to say, just say it. If He Yongqiang dares to find trouble with you, I'll break his legs!”
"Then I'll be straightforward." Qiang Zi asked.
"Just say it!"
"It's nothing. It's just that when I was delivering goods, I saw He Yongqiang hooking up with a woman and walking up the mountain. I was thinking that the weather was so cold. Why would a man and a woman go up the mountain alone? I followed them out of curiosity, but I didn't expect to find these two in a dilapidated temple…"
Qiang Zi didn't finish his sentence, but the way he winked at her made people know that it wasn't something serious.
"What happened after that?"
"What else could there be? A man and a woman entered the broken temple alone. Isn't it just for that little thing between a man and a woman?”
"No way, He Yongqiang hooked up with a girl so quickly?”
"Haha, who knows? He Yongqiang is young and is now a city dweller. Maybe the widow wants to be good with him.”
The customers in the tavern, who were all jerks who had struggled in the bottom floor of the bridge and Dazhalan, drank a little more wine.
As soon as they heard that He Yongqiang and a woman had entered the dilapidated temple to commit adultery, all of them began to speak dirty words.
When Old He heard this, he immediately glanced at Xu Huizhen. Seeing that her face had fallen, he immediately berated her,"Qiang Zi, you can't talk nonsense about this.”
"How would I dare to spout nonsense!"
Qiang Zi pretended to be wronged and said,"Shopkeeper He, I saw it with my own eyes."”
"Maybe you're mistaken! Alright, stop talking."
Old He waved his hand, signaling Qiang Zi to stop talking.
Qiang Zi, who already had the intention to reveal it, could not shut up. He deliberately said,"Old He, I'm not happy with what you said!”
"I don't dare to say anything else, but I, Qiangzi, have sharp eyes. There's no one in Dazhalan who has better eyes than me.”
"To say something that you don't like to hear, I have no enmity with He Yongqiang. Why frame him with this matter?”
"If you don't believe me, go to Niulan Mountain and ask if there's a woman named Huizhi. I heard it clearly that night. She said that I won't marry Xu Huizhen and will only marry you, Xu Huizhi.”
As soon as he said this, Xu Huizhen's vision went black. She felt dizzy as if she had been punched heavily.
"You! Damn Qiangzi, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!”
When he heard the name Xu Huizhi, Old Man He was sure that Qiangzi was telling the truth. After all, when he went to Niulan Mountain to see Xu Huizhen, he met Xu Huizhen's cousin named Xu Huizhi.
At this moment, the tavern was in an uproar.
Li Wen, who was sitting in the corner and watching the show with Lord Bull, stared straight at Xu Huizhen.
Li Wen's heart ached a little when he saw her reddened eyes and pitiful look.
He Yongqiang, ah, He Yongqiang, he abandoned such a good wife and went to look for Xu Huizhi. He was really blind.
