166 Is God Blind?
“You… you…”
Manager Li was too angry to finish his sentence.
At that moment, he knew scholars were the most shameless people.
Xie Heng smiled. He looked kind, but the words he said suggested otherwise. “Well, does Manager Li also agree to my suggestion? Then, write a guarantee, or else I’ll do something even more outrageous when I feel sorry for my wife. For example, I might hit you to avenge her.”
!!
“Hit me?”
“Yes, and all of my uncles here will also help me. After all, they also love Chuchu and don’t want to let Chuchu suffer.”
Manager Li only felt that today was the most miserable day in his life.
He found Xie Heng so shameless.
“How could he say something like a group fight as if he has been wronged and wants to take it out on me? How shameless!” he thought.
Manager Li was frustrated.
He used to look down on scholars, thinking that they were poor and stingy.
But right now, he understood that scholars were the worst because they could be really sarcastic and destructive with their speech.
“Am I right?” Xie Heng asked as he looked at the people of Lengshui Village.
The villagers nodded their heads and said, “Sure. Chuchu has treated us so well. How can we let her suffer? Anyone who bullies Chuchu is bullying us, so we can’t let him go.”
“Well, don’t be afraid if your legs are broken. Chuchu can cure you,” Xie Heng reminded kindly.
Manager Li was speechless again.
He was not stupid to know that they were trying to break his leg.
“Okay, I’ll write,” Manager Li said, gritting his teeth as he tried to suppress his anger.
He knew that the most important thing was to get out of there.
Otherwise, if he couldn’t get away, there was no telling what would happen.
If Zhao Chuchu came back and made things worse, he might end up even worse.
Manager Li knew how to read and write. So, he wrote down Xie Heng’s request word by word as Xie Heng had said and finally wrote his name and put his fingerprints on it.
Xie Heng took the guarantee and smiled. “Manager Li is a man of his word. I believe Manager Li doesn’t want to try and have his leg broken and repaired, right?”
“What else do you want?”
“It’s supposed to be a reminder for you. If it was someone else, you would also take the blame. After all, you are the only one who ran to Lengshui Village to cause trouble here.”
If Manager Li was a martial arts practitioner, he would have made Xie Heng know what it was like to have his leg broken.
“How could a blind man be cured of his eyes?” he said to himself.
“Is God blind?” he thought.
“Don’t worry. As long as you stop coming here, we will forget what happened today.” Manager Li swallowed his anger. “Scholar Xie, please keep your word. Although I’m just a small manager, I have my own connections in the county.”
Xie Heng folded up the ink-dried guarantee and put it away. He then looked at Manager Li. “This request depends on how Manager Li intends to treat us.”
Manager Li felt that if he stayed any longer, he would sooner or later die of anger.
“How could there be such a shameless scholar?” he said in his mind.
“That’s really outrageous!” he cursed inwardly.
Manager Li didn’t want to dwell on it anymore and almost ran out of Lengshui Village as if he was running away.
“Idiot, why didn’t you come in and find me when I was taking so long?” Manager Li didn’t dare to be angry with Xie Heng, so he could only vent his anger on the driver.
The driver said sarcastically, “I thought you told me not to follow you in? I thought your business was going quite well, so I didn’t go in and disturb you.”
Manager Li was furious and kicked up. “I don’t know what’s the use of hiring a man like you. All you know is eat.”
The coachman was aggrieved and muttered in a low voice, “It’s not my fault if I eat a lot. How can I work if I don’t eat enough?”
Manager Li was speechless.
“Fuck it!”
He decided he would never come back to Lengshui Village for a second time!
Both young and old people in the village were fully capable of messing him up.
After Manager Li left, Niu Tongsheng asked Xie Heng, “Da Lang, that person is really Visitor’s Aroma’s manager in Shiyang County Branch? What if he cooperates with Manager Lin?”
He was worried after seeing that tofu skins had been made and hoping that the tofu skins workshop could be set up sooner so that everyone in the village could have an extra source of income.
But he didn’t expect to have offended a manager.
“If that were true, he would not have come here himself. Don’t worry, chief. Manager Li is certainly not dealing with Manager Lin,” Xie Heng comforted Niu Tongsheng. “Don’t think too much. If there is nothing else, I will go back first.”
“Da Lang, thank you so much today,” Zhao Guitang said.
Xie Heng shook his head as he said, “No problem. This is also Chuchu’s business. It’s only natural for me to help her.”
“Thank god you are here. Otherwise, I don’t know what to do,” said Zhao Guitang as he scratched his head.
Now that he thought about his action of kicking people out, he felt that he was too bold. He could have been polite.
Xie Heng could see what Zhao Guitang was thinking.
He said, “You can’t reason with anyone. Manager Li is used to bullying others. He will show no respect to people he despises. You just did a good job.”
Zhao Guitang smiled and sighed in relief. “I was really afraid that you would blame me.”
“No.”
...
“Then, it’s good. Da Lang, that’s all I wish to know. You can go back first. Don’t delay your study.”
Xie Heng nodded. He then spoke to the crowd and went home with the guarantee in his pocket.
At this moment, Madam Yang was hiding in the house, afraid that Xie Heng would come and ask for the seven taels of silver back.
She had earned the silver after going through a lot of trouble, so she couldn’t just lose it.
Madam Yang kissed the silver, put it in the silver jar, and buried it under the bed. Only then did she feel more comfortable.
“I wonder if that idiot will come back to Lengshui Village again,” she said to herself.
“It would be nice to have more opportunities to earn money like this.”
Madam Yang was talking to herself with great anticipation.
She didn’t give Zhao Chuchu any trouble. Even if she hadn’t brought him there, the fool would have asked someone else.
Zhao Chuchu didn’t know what had happened at Lengshui Village.
After Manager Li left, she took tofu skins and followed Manager Lin to the back kitchen. She then told the cooks how to make tofu skins become delicious.
...
Manager Lin tasted it and decided to order the tofu skins on the spot.
“Chuchu, didn’t you say these tofu skins can still be fried again before cooking? I’ll take whatever you make now.”
“You don’t even ask the price?”
“I believe you will not take advantage of me.”
“Tofu skins cost 90 cents a kilogram.”
“The same condition as before, you can’t give a lot to others!”
“I’m afraid I can’t promise you this because I intend to run a workshop so that the village people also have an extra source of income.”
“Well…”
“Manager, I sell tofu skins to you together with the recipe. You can not ask too much,” said Zhao Chuchu. Her eyebrows were slightly raised. She had no problem giving away the recipe because they were regular dishes.
Manager Lin thought about it and found it reasonable because he was the only one with the recipe other than Zhao Chuchu.
