Chapter 166: Episode 107 Redistribution of Interests (Part 1) (Second Update)

Hua Erniang had jumped three feet high, pointing at Shopkeeper Zhu and those three men while cursing non-stop. Her choice of words was bold, and her articulateness was indeed breathtaking. The three brutes were scolded miserably, unable to retaliate, and their faces could hardly maintain any dignity. They immediately tried to grab her but were blocked by Meng Yuhuai and others. For a while, they couldn’t get close to her, both ashamed and furious, their faces turning beet red.

The scene was extremely chaotic, with numerous arms flailing incessantly in the air, and it looked like a fight was about to break out. Hua Xiaomai knew Meng Yuhuai and his friends were skilled, so she wasn’t too worried. She turned her head and saw Hua Erniang hopping around vigorously, quickly ran over, and firmly grabbed her, saying with a laugh and a cry, "Aiya, second sister, stop getting involved!"

Shopkeeper Zhu was smooth-talking, but when it came to physical fighting, he was completely inept. Squeezed in the middle by the crowd, he soon broke out in a sweat and had no choice but to jump around, flailing his arms wildly, and shouting at the top of his lungs, "Don’t start fighting, don’t start fighting, listen to me!"

Those three sturdy men, following his command, immediately stopped and looked at him, puzzled. Meng Yuhuai and his party only intended to ensure the safety of the three individuals of the Jing family, naturally not provoking further confrontation and soon ceased their actions, crossing their arms and giving him a cold stare.

"You just said..." Shopkeeper Zhu, mustering all his strength, finally squeezed to Hua Erniang, and said breathlessly, "You just said, Taoyuan House in Provincial City invited this young lady to be the head chef. Is that true or false?"

"Tch!" Hua Erniang rolled her eyes at him with textbook precision, looked up at the sky disapprovingly and said, "Why would I lie to you, would it give me more meat to eat or what? Look, just recently, Taoyuan House’s boss, Mr. Song, personally came to Fire Knife Village to invite my sister, speaking very clearly, expecting her to lead the entire kitchen in the future! If you don’t believe it, just go and inquire yourself, why pester me? Humph, you also don’t assess your own capabilities; just with a mere Sauce Garden, do you expect to lure my sister?"

Shopkeeper Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then clapped his hands suddenly, overwhelmed with emotion, "Ah, this is... this is really a case of family fighting family!"

"Pah, get lost sooner rather than later, who is family with you?" Hua Erniang glared at him and spit on the ground unceremoniously.

"This is true!" Shopkeeper Zhu, not minding his annoyance, nodded vigorously and fervently said, "Mr. Song’s sister from Taoyuan House is married to our boss. You say Mr. Song personally came to invite this young lady to Taoyuan House to cook. If this goes through, aren’t we practically family? I really... really was confused, starting a fight without asking clearly, I deserve to be hit!"

With that, he actually raised his hand and gently slapped himself on the face twice.

Hua Xiaomai hadn’t expected that Song Jingxi actually had such a connection with Antai Garden, and couldn’t help but turn her head, giving Shopkeeper Zhu an intrigued glance.

To say nothing of her decision on whether to go to Taoyuan House to cook, even if she really went, after all, she would just be a chef; was it really worth this man making such a big fuss?

"Mr. Song’s Taoyuan House business is booming fiercely. Ever since it opened, it has blessed our own business, truly a major client of Antai Garden. If you go there to cook, in the future we’ll undoubtedly be dealing with each other!" Shopkeeper Zhu rubbing his hands together, turned his face towards Hua Xiaomai and chuckled, "Today was my mistake; young lady, please don’t blame me. I’ll leave right now, this instant."

Before even finishing speaking, he signaled the three burly men and truly began to exit the courtyard.

He hadn’t finished speaking yet; how could she let him go just like that? Hua Xiaomai hurriedly followed and called out to him: "Wait a moment!"

Shopkeeper Zhu immediately stopped and turned around with a smile, "What, young lady, do you have a message for me to take to Mr. Song? Don’t worry, just say it!"

"It’s not about that." Hua Xiaomai couldn’t stand his smiling face, frowned secretly, cleared her throat, and said, "Are you planning to leave today and come back tomorrow to trouble me again?"

"Ah, how could that be?" Shopkeeper Zhu shrank his chin back, speaking fervently, "Since we’re all not strangers, we should get along well. How could I come to trouble you again? Tomorrow morning, I’ll head back to Provincial City immediately. Young lady, rest assured, I absolutely won’t come to bother you again!"
