The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 130 The Cannon Fodder Brother in Uncle-Sister-In-Law Love 5

The floor of the ancestral hall was cold and hard. He saw himself in tattered clothes, mixed in with a group of beggars, holding a broken bowl and waiting to beg for food.

The cold wind was biting, and he unconsciously wrapped the thin rags around his body tightly and followed the others forward. One of his legs was already lame.

"No more, get out!"

When it was his turn, the person distributing the porridge threw the spoon into the clear, thin soup and drove him away with disgust.

"You stinky beggar, you stink so badly, stay away from me!"

Ji Tianhe saw that he was holding his stomach and wanted to say something, but he only made ah ah ah sounds. The porridge man was obviously in a bad mood. Seeing that he didn't leave, he came up and punched and kicked him.

Until he woke up, the words of the soup giver echoed in his head: "If it weren't for our third young lady's wedding day, and it wasn't convenient to cause a death, I would have beaten you to death today, a beggar who doesn't understand human language!"

Ji Tianhe wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the ancestral hall with lifeless eyes.

it's too cold.

The wind in the ancestral hall is always cool at night. No wonder he had that kind of dream. It must have been too cold when he slept.

But for some reason, the scene of this dream kept lingering in his mind, especially the part about the third young lady's wedding day, which made him particularly concerned.

Miao Ruoming...is also the third lady.

Ji Tianhe shook his head and forced himself not to think about it anymore. It was just a dream. His family was rich, how could he be reduced to arguing with others over a bowl of porridge that he would never even look at, let alone begging.

After Ji Yanli felt better, he stopped lying in bed every day. After all, lying in bed for a few days was okay, but he felt bored if he lay in bed for too long.

He asked others about fun and delicious places in Bingzhou, then put on gorgeous clothes, got in a sedan chair, and went out.

Ji Kun looked at him with satisfaction. Even if his eldest son would no longer be involved in business matters in the future, it was still good that he could stand up again from the blow.

Then he frowned again and walked towards Ji Tianhe's yard.

He took over the tea shop, but didn't manage it properly. Did he really think the money came from the wind?!

Ji Tianhe had just left the ancestral hall and had not yet had a good sleep when he was kicked out by Ji Kun.

"If the tea shop's revenue continues to decline this month, you'll have to get out of the house and never again call yourself Ji Kun's son."

Ji Tianhe secretly clenched his fists, but the situation was stronger than him and he couldn't break Ji Kun's thigh, so he could only walk into the tea shop in humiliation.

It's just a small shop with a shopkeeper and clerks. He only needs to keep an eye on them and prevent them from cheating or messing with the money in the account. It's not that difficult.

It was easy for him to think about it, but he didn't expect that the tea shop's business would plummet. Although the shopkeeper and the clerk didn't say it explicitly, their unintentional glances really irritated Ji Tianhe and made him furious.

"What are you doing here? You all just eat for free. Can you please use your brains? Why is the tea shop next door doing so much business? I paid a lot of money to hire you guys just for show?"

The shopkeeper couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward and argued, "Boss, the tea business is no different from other businesses. We all rely on regular customers. A few days ago, Young Master Wang came to drink tea, but when he left, he didn't buy any tea, and you turned your face away from him. He went straight to the shop next door yesterday. Young Master Wang is our boss..."

"joke!"

Ji Tianhe interrupted him without waiting for him to finish: "Do I have to greet him with a smile even if he doesn't buy anything? He just came here to drink free tea and take advantage of it. It's good that I didn't kick him out. Besides, this shop has been open for so many years, it can't be run without him?"

The shopkeeper remained silent. Normally, a business wouldn't go bankrupt because of one person, but if the boss was a fool, then it was possible.

He added, "Our shop has always attracted customers with its top-notch products and comprehensive assortment. You took away a lot of the in-demand teas we had. We don't have some of them, but our neighbors do, so they'll naturally go elsewhere to buy."

Ji Tianhe laughed when he heard this. "Doesn't the shop need to be managed? You're just the shopkeeper. I have to consider the overall situation. Business must be done, and so must favors and gifts. If I don't give good things, why not give inferior ones? Would it be embarrassing?"

"I can see that you don't want to be the shopkeeper anymore. If that's the case, I won't force you to stay. You can leave now."

When the shopkeeper left, some of the shop assistants were indignant and wanted to rush up to argue, but were held back by others.

When Ji Yanli learned about this, he had just returned from Xiangmanlou after dinner. The chef of Xiangmanlou came from the south and was very good at making Dongpo pork. He ate it with relish and was still savoring the taste of it when he was in the mansion.

Then, I heard the sound of "pa, pa, pa" of the board hitting flesh.

He turned around and went to the main hall.

Ji Tianhe was kneeling in the hall, and Ji Kun was holding a punishment stick in his hand, whipping him again and again.

There were broken pieces of teacup not far away.

Zhen Muxue's eyes were red from crying, and Miao Ruoming was standing by and watching nervously.

Ji Yanli coughed twice, walked over to find a chair to sit down, and admired Ji Tianhe's expression.

Unexpectedly, just as he sat down, Ji Tianhe suddenly stood up and growled unwillingly, "I didn't do anything wrong! Father is too partial. Since the shop was given to me, it is mine. Why punish the shopkeeper like this?"

Ji Kun didn't say anything, and was hit hard with a few more boards.

His hands were shaking.

Angry!

He just thought that his youngest son had no talent for business, but he didn't expect that he even had problems with basic human behavior!

That shopkeeper had worked for the Ji family for over a decade and had contributed greatly to their careers, yet he was fired simply because someone said a few things! This chilled the hearts of all those who worked for the Ji family!

The tea shop has a stable income. As long as you don't do anything bad and have the owner's support, even a pig can make a profit!

Ji Kun couldn't help it and hit the board again.

Ji Tianhe screamed, and Zhen Muxue grabbed Ji Kun's hand with tears in her eyes: "Master! That's enough! I've beaten you enough!"

She hugged Ji Tianhe and cried. The pain of beating her son was felt by the mother. If Ji Kun had not said that he would divorce her if she dared to stop him, she would never have watched Tianhe being beaten.

"A loving mother often loses her son!"

Ji Kun scolded her angrily, "He's trying to act arrogantly before he even learns any skills. You think he's right, right?"

Zhen Muxue moved her mouth but didn't say anything.

But her expression didn't care. The Ji family was wealthy and powerful, and it was just a shop. If it didn't work out, it would just be closed. It wouldn't have much of an impact. It wasn't worth making such a big deal about it.

And that shopkeeper is just relying on his long time working there to bully others. When he takes over the Ji family business tomorrow, he will definitely train his own people. If these old guys are not willing to do it, just get out. There are plenty of people who want this job!

Seeing Ji Kun about to faint from anger, Ji Yanli said, "Dad, since my second brother said that, he must have his own ideas... How about this, you open another shop for him, independent of the Ji family. That way, without the interference of the old people in the shop, he can work freely."

"Yes, Dad, I will use my own manpower. I will definitely prove that I am no worse than... no worse than anyone else!"
