Chapter 152 The restaurant was robbed
Er'er and Sanchuan nodded in agreement.
Lao Liu’s eyes widened when he heard this.
"Hey... I'm saying, how can you be so hard-hearted as a little girl? I'm saying all this just to tell you that if you don't take me in, I'll have nowhere to go."
Lao Liu stood up suddenly.
"I'm about to end up on the streets, won't you have pity on me?"
Xu Yiyi forced out a very polite smile.
"I don't even take care of my own grandfather, and you expect me to take care of an outsider like you?"
Er'er and Sanchuan nodded in approval again.
"Aren't you going to sell alcohol? I brewed all the wine in Qushenglou. I can help you make it. You don't have to pay me. Just provide me with food and accommodation, and at least one chicken a day..."
Lao Liu raised his finger, feeling that his request was very low.
"That's even more impossible. I can't even feed a chicken a day at home."
Xu Yiyi shook his head and refused to agree.
"Ah, you just don't want to go back. There are plenty of restaurants and wine shops in Ping'an Town. Just find another way out."
Qingshan dragged Laoliu away from Xu Yiyi's stall.
The sixth brother turned back unwillingly and said, "I'm going to her new restaurant. The food she cooks is delicious."
"If it really doesn't work, I'll take you to the county town for free."
Qingshan suggested with a smile and dragged the person away.
Xu Yiyi quickly took her brother and sister-in-law to pack up the things on the stall.
Some of the sauces were brought back to the island, and the rest were stored in the Xiang family's gatehouse.
……
"Brother Ayuan, this is the porridge my second sister made for you."
Xu Yiyi looked at Sanchuan bowing respectfully and handed the earthen jar over.
Sanchuan, who is known for his tall stature, looks like a poor young man from a wealthy and powerful family. Xu Yiyi suddenly felt a sense of "my son has grown up".
When I turned around, I saw that the brat Sihai and Xu Anyang were covering their mouths and laughing at something.
Still a silly boy.
When he returned home and was about to go to bed, Xu Yiyi felt as if he had forgotten something.
I thought about it but still couldn't remember.
I fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, when the sun was bright, Xu Yiyi was still lying in bed, sound asleep.
"Xu Yiyi!"
I was half asleep when I was startled by my uncle's cry.
Xu Yiyi's heart suddenly twitched, like a frightened deer.
My mind was instantly in a mess. I hurriedly changed my clothes and went out with a messy hair.
"Grandpa, what's the matter with you coming here so early?"
Xu Yiyi rubbed his face and walked over to pour a glass of water for his great uncle.
"What did you do last night?"
The uncle put down the cup of water and stuck his crutch on the ground with a thud. Xu Yiyi finally remembered what he was going to say last night.
"I bought a restaurant."
Xu Yiyi's eyes moved around, and then she looked at her great uncle fixedly.
"Where did you get so much money? Did you borrow money at double the interest?"
My uncle had a stern face, more serious than ever.
Only then did Xu Yiyi realize what he was angry about. It turned out that he was afraid that she would borrow money from a loan shark.
"Don't worry, I have several brothers and sisters-in-law. Even if it's not for myself, I won't borrow this money for their sake."
The usurers are very ruthless. They charge high interest rates and take things from the borrower's home to pay off the debt if the borrower can't pay it back.
The Xu family is full of children, and any one of them can be sold.
How could Xu Yiyi make such a mistake.
"I borrowed the money to buy the restaurant from my father's friend. You know Uncle Qingshan, right? It was Uncle Qingshan who paid for me yesterday. I wrote him an IOU when I got home last night. I'll pay him back as soon as I have the money."
Xu Yiyi hurriedly explained it clearly.
It is really hard to find a restaurant in a location like Qushenglou. It was finally sold and the price was cheaper than other big restaurants. She really didn't want to miss it.
"How much do you owe?"
The uncle sighed and asked.
"More than four hundred taels."
Xu Yiyi lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look at her uncle's eyes.
"More than four hundred taels?"
When the uncle heard the voice, his expression changed instantly, and he looked at Xu Yiyi with some anger.
"Don't be angry! It's not worth it to get yourself sick from being angry later."
Xu Yiyi hurried over to help his uncle calm down.
After a while, the uncle finally spoke.
"I'll tell everyone in the clan to chip in some money. You can use the money to pay back the four hundred taels of silver. It's not right to owe money to outsiders."
The uncle thought that after all, they were from the same clan.
It is always better to owe money to your relatives than to strangers.
Who knew that as soon as he said it, Xu Yiyi directly refused.
"Please don't do this. It's not easy for the uncles and aunts in the clan to make a little money."
She looked at her uncle and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan in mind. If I really need money, I will ask you for help."
Xu Yiyi comforted him, saying that his great uncle was the head of the Xu family and always did things for the good of the family.
The clan members have always respected my great uncle.
She knew that as long as her uncle gave the order, someone in the clan would definitely pay for what happened today.
But it’s hard to say whether I have any complaints in my heart privately.
Xu Yiyi didn't want to see such a scene.
……
After much persuasion, my uncle finally gave up.
After sending the people out, Xu Yiyi sat in a chair and thought about opening a restaurant.
Now the restaurant has been bought, but how to do it and what to do still need to be figured out carefully.
Otherwise, they would just do it haphazardly and open it without any hesitation.
He might end up selling the restaurant like Tan Dalu.
As he was thinking, Xu Yiyi returned to the room and took out the box containing the money.
After counting it four times, there were only 320 taels of silver left in the house.
……
She washed her face and took a small boat from her tribe to the dock.
The children in my family are busy as hell.
Xu Yiyi went over and ate two fried oysters with eggs, then carried Wu Yuan to Qusheng Tower.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Qingshan cursing.
Xu Yiyi was a little confused and walked in to take a look.
Wow, the pots, pans, tables, chairs, benches and everything else in the restaurant were still there yesterday.
When I went in, I saw that it was empty.
"That bastard Tan Dalu, he sold the restaurant along with the food he promised to have."
Qingshan ran upstairs to see that all the things in the guest room had been moved.
Xu Yiyi walked to the backyard and saw Lao Liu, who was lying on the ground snoring, no one knew how much he had drunk.
Looking all the way, I saw that there was half a wall of firewood in the woodshed yesterday, but now it is empty.
Even the storage room was emptied.
There was a small pile of black clothes at the door, probably belonging to Lao Liu.
Even the clotheslines in the yard were taken away.
"I was on guard against him yesterday, and I even changed the locks. I watched him get on the boat before I left."
Qingshan was so angry about Tan Dalu's behavior that his head started to hurt.
