Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Convergence(4)_1

With these many additional hands, Cai Wei no longer had to worry about not having enough meat skewers to sell. She relaxed and instructed Zhang Biaotou to seek a trustworthy mediator to carry out the purchase of the manor.

The Zhang brothers were all escorts, living a dangerous life on the edge of a blade. Cai Wei did not want them to belittle themselves by stringing the meat skewers in the back kitchen, so she instructed the remaining four brothers to take their old mother and families and go outside to find a mid-sized home to settle them temporarily.

Once the Zhang brothers left, Cai Wei sat down with everyone to string skewers, chatting casually as she worked.

Chun Liu mysteriously claimed, "Miss, you wouldn’t know, but after you left, our previous home turned into quite a spectacle!"

The ’previous home’ was the Bafu Restaurant back in Qingyun Town, the home seized by the main house. Cai Wei started laughing. She didn’t need Chun Liu to elaborate, she already knew what was going to follow. After all, she had arranged everything ahead of time.

Unaware that Cai Wei already knew, Chun Liu continued to tell her story like it was breaking news.

"The family that moved in later tidied up our old house, spending a good deal of money on renovations before buying a lot more furniture and fixtures. Altogether, less than a hundred and eighty taels would be unthinkable. But who could have thought that, only two days after they started living in the renovated house with the new furniture, the former shopkeeper of the Bafu Restaurant returned, brandishing the contract signed by you from before, asking them to move out."

"Would that family comply? They sulked, screamed, rolled on the ground, causing a ruckus that lasted the better part of the day. Then, Shopkeeper Cui lost his patience. He called on some hooligans and had those folks, along with their belongings, thrown out. Now, guess what happened next?"

Chun Liu intentionally left her listeners hanging, stopping right before the climax, chuckling as she looked at Cai Wei with bright eyes.

Cai Wei, smiling, asked, "What happened?"

Chun Liu covered her mouth to chuckle, her face flushed and wouldn’t continue with the story.

Auntie Liu picked up the story, "And then, among the belongings thrown out, there were many items that the Lü Family had reported lost. Even quilts, embroidered with images, my goodness! I’m too embarrassed to even talk about it!"

"Hehe...."

Cai Wei started laughing. Naturally, she knew what was embroidered on those quilts, but she hadn’t expected the old man and Lady Mu Bai to be this stingy. They couldn’t bear to throw away the vulgar quilts and brazenly brought them into town, they deserved the embarrassment!

Chun Liu continued, "Among the onlookers, there was a servant from the Lü family. When she recognized the clothing worn by a girl with a scar on her face, which was lost from her mistress’s wardrobe, she ran back to report it to her master. As a result, the family was arrested by Madam Lü’s people and sent to the county jail. However, for some reason, the county magistrate released them claiming insufficient evidence..."

"They let them go?"

Cai Wei found it hard to believe. Magistrate Li and the Lü family had always been close. His illegitimate daughter, Li Jinzhi was even Lady Yu’s cousin. How could they just let them off without getting back at them?

But after some thoughts, she understood why.

County Magistrate Li must have thought she was Huo Yuan’s mistress and since she was closely related to the main house, he didn’t dare offend her. So he let them go to earn some brownie points.

You could say that the main house got off because of her!

Despite realizing this, Cai Wei didn’t feel regret. Although they were set free, they had deeply offended Mr. and Mrs. Lü Junchen.

Lady Yu’s face was ruined, and she was currently seething with resentment towards the thief who broke into the house and destroyed her beauty. The main house made things worse by charging in without thinking, becoming the prime suspect in her mind. She was never going to let them off easily. They would pay for this in the future!

While they were chatting, Zhang Biaotou led a mediator back. Upon hearing the shop assistant’s announcement, Cai Wei immediately left the back kitchen to meet the mediator.
