Chapter 384: Reunion (4)
With so many more people, Caiwei no longer had to worry about not having enough skewers to sell. She relaxed and told Zhang Biaotou to go out and find a reliable middleman to put the matter of buying the farm into practice.
The Zhang brothers were all escorts, and they were doing a business that was on the edge of a knife. Caiwei didn't want them to be confined to the back kitchen to string skewers, so she told the other four brothers to take their old mothers and wives and children to find a medium-sized house outside for the time being to settle them down.
After the Zhang brothers left, Caiwei sat with everyone else to string skewers, chatting while stringing.
Chunliu said mysteriously: "Miss, you don't know, after you left, our original home was so lively!"
The original home was the Bafu Restaurant in Qingyun Town, the one occupied by the eldest wife. Caiwei smiled. Without Chunliu saying anything, she already knew what was going to happen next, because everything was arranged by her in advance.
Chunliu didn't know that Caiwei had already known about it, and she kept talking about it as if it was news.
"The family that moved in later cleaned up our original home. It cost a lot of money just to repair it, and then they added a lot of things. The total cost was more than 100 or 80 taels. Who knew that after they had repaired the house and bought all the belongings, they had just moved in for less than two days when the original owner of the Bafu Restaurant came back and asked them to move out with the contract you had signed before."
"That family refused to leave, and they made a scene for most of the day. The owner Cui got impatient and found a few hooligans to throw them out with their belongings. As a result, hehe, guess what happened?"
Chunliu deliberately kept the secret and stopped at the key point, blinking his big eyes and smiling at Caiwei.
Caiwei smiled and asked: "What happened?"
Chunliu covered his mouth and giggled, his face flushed, and he refused to continue.
Sister Liu took over the conversation and said, "As a result, among those things thrown away, there were many things that were lost by the Lu family a few days ago, and there were also several quilts. The things embroidered on them, oh my god, tut tut! I am embarrassed to say it!"
"Hehe..."
Cai Wei laughed. She knew what was embroidered on those quilts, but she didn't expect the old man and Mu Bai to be so stingy that they didn't even want to throw away the two dirty quilts and brought them to the town openly. They deserved to be embarrassed!
Chunliu said: "Among the crowd of people watching the excitement, there was a servant of the Lu family. He recognized that the clothes worn by the girl with a scar on her face were lost by her aunt, so he ran back to complain to her master. As a result, the family was arrested by Mrs. Lu and sent to the county government. But for some reason, the county magistrate released the family on the grounds of insufficient evidence..."
"Released them?"
Caiwei was a little unbelievable. County Magistrate Li had always had close contacts with the Lu family. His illegitimate daughter Li Jinzhi was a cousin of Lu Junchen's wife Yu. How could he let them go for no reason and not vent their anger?
But after thinking for a while, she understood the reason.
County Magistrate Li must have thought that she was Huo Yuan's mistress, and the family of the first wife was his closest relatives, so he didn't dare to offend them, so he let them go and acted like a good person.
It can be said that the first wife was released because of herself!
Caiwei understood this, but she didn't feel sorry. Although they were released, they had deeply offended Lu Junchen and his wife.
Mrs. Lu's appearance was ruined, and now she was gritting her teeth to hate the thief who broke into the house and ruined her appearance. The eldest wife rushed in without knowing the consequences, and suddenly became the biggest suspect in her mind. She would never let them off easily. They would suffer in the future!
As they were chatting, Zhang Biaotou led a middleman back. After hearing the report from the waiter, Caiwei immediately walked out of the back kitchen to meet the middleman.
