Chapter 51: Ch. 25 Part 1

" It is said that when there’s a stepmother, then there’s a stepfather " someone said from the crowds which broke out another topic for their judgements and whispering. " So the father neglected a child at such a very young age after the death of his mother for a new wife and children. Tsk, tsk " another tsked and said casting a judgemental eyes on father Jun who shrink his neck in embarrassment, the crowd seeing that he couldn’t refute YanZhi’s words they couldn’t help but start thinking that Yanzhi did nothing wrong. " It’s truly evil ah! treating a child very harshly for him to runaway from home at the age of 5 or 6, such parents don’t have the right to call themselves parents and elders for the child. ah! " the whispering continued which was in favor of YanZhi. Father Jun and the rest who come to make trouble started feeling embarrassed as the crowds talked bad and pointed at them.

" And what did you say... separated and making it good? Father when i returned back home only months ago weren’t you the same person who took all the money i made throughout the years of wondering outside alone, at that time you promised me separation for the silvers and i gave them all to you. And even after the contract of the separation i promise you to give a tael of silver every month as an elderly relief payment and i gave you this month’s payment. Isn’t that so.... village head? " Yanzhi said and turned to the village head, the diners in the restaurant had already come out hearing the commotions so they also joined in to listening. The village head step forward raised his head up to look at father Jun and shook his head sighing " yes.... i as the village head am a witness to all that. Jun family head don’t disgrace yourselves and the village anymore. Things between you have been settled already, just take the old lady and your family back lest you loose more face. "

The village head advised looking angry, because what the Jun family were doing now isn’t just loosing their face but also that of him too as the head of the village, the heads of other villages would laugh at him hearing that he couldn’t manage his people well, how can he face them now. Isn’t it just the Jun family loosing face for him and even offending such a leaving Buddha like YanZhi, ah!

The diners who had wanted to leave at first because of the old lady and Du shi’s words, changed their minds and went back into the restaurant to eat and enjoy their foods seeing that Yanzhi and Xiao Ling weren’t at fault. Rather everyone talked about the inhumane treatment of the Jun family to YanZhi. " Mother let’s go now, things aren’t working for us! " Du shi urged grandma Jun who was still sitting on the floor crying crocodile tears whiles her son had already fled the scene, they also followed along and fled with their tails stuck between their legs feeling embarrassed and shameful. The crowds dispersed and their restaurant went back to being lively.

" Why didn’t you inform me? " Yanzhi asked his disciples who were standing behind him, only those working were still at the posts left to them. " Master we were wanted to deal with them and not bother you with such a mundane thing but the manager had a waitress call for you before I coud stop her " Lin answered, seeing that YanZhi’s face had no trace of emotions he thought that he must’ve done something wrong so he didn’t talk nonsense and answered. "From now on report such things to me if it involves them or might harm the reputation of the restaurant and Xiao Ling " Lin nodded in understanding. "Would they still bother us again? " Xiao Ling asked looking very annoyed. " pfft " Yanzhi chuckled which earned him a glare, they turn and made their way into the restaurant.

"Well they’ll be quiet for a long time for now? I don’t know but if they keep on being persistent I’ll have to deal with them then " Yanzhi answered " ai! ai! they are like cockroaches... so persistent! " Xiao Ling grumbled. Yanzhi rubbed his head dotingly " don’t waste your time thinking about them, they’re not worth it. But little wife looks cute all puffed up " Yanzhi said and started to tease him, he stopped in his tracks. Seeing that he stopped Xiao Ling also stopped and turned back to look at him, he saw Yanzhi giving him a very mischievous smile and look " little wife... looking so puffed and red from anger it almost made me wanna take a bite! " " puff " Xiao Ling’s head blew up in smoke, his face turned red like a monkeys butt. He turned away and dash leaving Yanzhi laughing in a low tone, the workers and diners seeing them like that had smiles and envious look.

"The master and boss have really good relationship. So envious, i wish to meet someone who’ll treat me like how the master treats boss " a worker said and the others laughed and tease. " You can dream on about that when you get off, but for now focus on your works " the manager scolded and they all went back to their posts.

Madam Huang, doctor Shi and Jinhua who were chatting like close friends after a hearty meal, were shocked and startled when Xiao Ling ran into the room with his face red. " What’s wrong with brother Ling, is someone after you? " doctor Shi asked, Xiao Ling shook both hands and head and denied. He was alarmed when YanZhi also walked in, Xiao Ling quickly fled to a corner and turned his back to YanZhi who chuckled seeing that. The rest who were being fed dog food, realized that Xiao Ling’s state now was due to a husband teasing his wife and they all laughed. "Ah! enough with the dog food okay! " doctor Shi complained feeling very wronged... Seeing his childlike reaction Jinhua felt sour in heart. Even though he knew that doctor Shi was just playing around, still he felt very uncomfortable with the fact that his family’s situation was the reason why they kept postponing their marriage all those years. He leaned on doctor Shi’s should and pat him on the back in a comforting way.

" Let’s get married as soon as possible..... Dafu. " Jinhua’s voice sounded suddenly saying that to doctor Shi, even though he was trying hard to hide the sourness in his voice, Yanzhi and Xiao Ling still caught on alright since they were more sensitive to things than the rest but they feigned ignorance since it wasn’t their business. Hearing Jinhua’s words both doctor Shi and madam Huang were flabbergasted at first, then it turnes into confusion. Stabilizing his thoughts doctor Shi beamed with happiness and joy " Jinhua the date is already set, do you want us to bring it forward? " he pretended to be too flustered to think straight making Jinhua laughed dryly seeing his reaction. "En, let’s find the match maker tomorrow and have her choose another auspicious day which is much forward to wed " Jinhua affirmed, doctor Shi looked at him confused not knowing why he would want to push forward the date, doctor Shi was very happy to hear that all the same.

" That’s a great news, it’s long past for you youngsters to marry you’re not getting any younger as the days passes. Make sure to send me an invitation when you decide on the date " madam Huang gave them a positive reaction making them both happy. " Madam Huang and brother Yan will be the first people to know when the date’s finalized! " doctor Shi said and gave Yanzhi a gloating look, Xiao Ling snorted when he saw the look of indifference on YanZhi’s face. He walked back to YanZhi’s side and nudged him, Yanzhi sighed in defeat " congratulations doctor Shi, brother Quing.. we wouldn’t miss your marriage for a thing " he said politely to them and they nodded.

After talking about doctor Shi’s and Jinhua’s marriage madam Huang brought forth her inquiry.

" Boss Ling actually i wanted to inquire about where you got the ice from in this summer, if it’s no problem could you please tell me. I promise no one else will hear it from me. " Madam Huang asked with a pleading and humble tone. Knowing that even though both of them looked simple and were from peasants families, they still weren’t easy to mess with and she had learnt that the hard way. " If it’s about that then madam Huang has to inquire from my husband, since he was the one who got it for me " he glanced at Yanzhi as he answered. Yanzhi rubbed his head as a way of supporting him in all decisions. Madam Huang hearing that turned her attention to YanZhi. " Since you’re done with your meal why don’t i show them to you. " everyone agreed and walked out of the private room following behind Yanzhi and Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling went on to say " Xiong gong and i plan on opening an auction house, we’ll depend on madam Huang’s and bother Jinhua’s social connection to inform the noble families of our auction house " since Yanzhi always maintained some distance with people around him with the exception of Xiao Ling and his disciples, Xiao Ling took the matter of socializing upon himself and started to explain. Madam Huang, doctor Shi and Jinhua had blank looks not knowing what an auction house was, it was fairly the first time for all of them hearing of an auction house. " Little boss what’s this auction house you made mention of " madam Huang asked the question they were all dying to ask and they all looked at Xiao Ling’s back with the look of anticipation.
