Chapter 1016: Unfilial because she could not buy chives dumplings
" You.." Old Master Tong was furious but before he could say anything, Ning Yu stepped in front of his son and then said coldly, " Master Tong, it was your wife who made sure to fan the flames on the day the fight took place. I hope you haven't forgotten that?"
Old Master Tong pursed his lips, he hated to admit it but because of what happened with the Peng family he was also criticized along with Lin Tianhui. It was such a terrible situation that even when he did not do anything he was still blamed and what was more, even his daughter did not want to stay in the village. She was hoping to get richer by staying next to Yu Dong but because of Lin Tianhui, their entire plan was now down the drain.
This was also the reason why Old Master Tong wanted to come and ask for the contract as he wished to make sure that his daughter would get what she wanted but now he couldn't say anything. He lowered his head wanting to say something more but was stopped by Shen Li, " Old Master Tong, my wife gave away her share of inheritance even after you got her parents killed. This is enough of a mercy one could show to someone who ruined their life, all because of your petty jealousy you almost caused my wife to die and because of you I and my brothers could have become widowers with no one to lean on, is this not enough?"
Old Master Tong opened his mouth to speak but upon meeting Shen Li's firm gaze he couldn't bring himself to say anything as what the mer said was indeed right. He had done enough to ruin the Yu family was there anything more he could do to them? But in all honesty, he really wanted to farm alongside the rest of the villagers and nothing more.
However, it was too late to regret it as no one in the Yu family would ever trust him.
Shen Li looked at Old Master Tong leave but did not stop him, though he sympathized with Old Master Tong after seeing how he was being tormented by the Lin family, this was something that he deserved. He had everything in his hands, if he stayed honest then he could have lived a wonderful life but instead of staying happy with what he had, he threw it all away.
" Seriously, you are way too kind," Ning Yu turned to look at his son, though he did not want to reprimand him, he couldn't stop himself. " You should have let him handle him and returned home, daughter in law is not at the village..what would have happened if he did something to you?"
Yu Dong left for the town after settling the matters with the villagers since they could not open the shop for so long they needed to apologize to their regular customers as well as deliver to the Song restaurant.
"It's fine, he wouldn't have done anything to me in front of others," Shen Li spoke gently as he smiled at his father. " And even if he did, Yu Dong would have certainly dealt with him, after getting a taste of the bitter pill that my wife gave him, I don't think Old Master Tong would dare to act rashly."
" Well that's true," agreed Ning Yu.
On the other hand in the Song restaurant, Song Yixu was looking at concubine Jiang and Concubine Ren who were waiting for Yu Dong to deliver the vegetables and to make matters worse her old friends, Madam Long and Madam Jie also sitting at the table next to the two concubines while waiting for Chef Chen to bring out the dishes which were becoming more and more popular these days in the town.
Song Yixu rubbed her forehead and then said, " How many times do I have to tell you? In a day I can only serve forty tables at the moment as the supplies of vegetables are limited. If you wanted to eat the newly served dishes then you should have told me in advance at least that way I could have ordered more vegetables, what are you two thinking turning all of a sudden? Where do you think I will conjure up the extra vegetables?"
Madam Long looked at her friend and then rolled her eyes, " I say Yixu since when did you become such a miser? In the past, we used to come all the time and you never said a word but now you are acting all stiff and angry. We are not going to finish all the dishes in your restaurant, Yixu. You don't have to guard against us like that."
Hearing her words, Song Yixu scolded her with a smile, " You said the same thing the last time too, Ju'er and what did you and Shun do? You ordered a table worth of vegetarian dishes causing me a lot of trouble. Back then I was lucky that my supplier was still in town and I was able to send one of my servants to bring extra supplies of vegetables or else I would have to refund at least ten taels to the official who booked the table for her and her family."
" Ahem," Jie Shun cleared her throat and then said, " There is no need to bring the old records up. We are not going to do the same thing anymore."
" Yeah, thats why you arrived at my restaurant as early as the bird leaving their nest to catch the worm, right ?" Song Yixu was speechless with the actions of Long Ju and Jie Shun. " I told you the last time that if you want to eat at my restaurant you need to book your tables instead of using our friendship as a means to mooch off my restaurant."
" We don't want to do this either all right? But my mother is refusing to eat anything ever since she had your restaurant stuffed eggplant and vegetable dumplings," said Long Jun with a frown. " I told her that she can have anything that she wants as the dishes in your restaurant are simply hard to get but she refuses to take a bite of anything else. She even declared me unfilial because I couldn't bring her some chives dumplings! Can you believe it? Years of staying true to my family and I am declared as unfilial the second I refuse to bring some dumplings home!"
