“It’s just because the Feng Shui of this shop is so good, those who were here before could not handle this superb Feng Shui, leading to some misfortunes. But that’s not due to bad Feng Shui of my shop, it’s their fate that wasn’t strong enough and ended blaming my shop. It’s truly unjust.”
“Fortunately, good things are recognized anywhere. Heaven would never let a good thing be buried. Didn’t Miss Zhuang appreciate this place? She gave everyone a good look, proving this truly is a good place and Miss Zhuang really has a good fortune.”
As Mrs. Deng was justifying herself, she didn’t forget to compliment Zhuang Qingning.
After all, during the shop leasing process, Zhuang Qingning was the first not to criticize the Feng Shui of the shop or drive a hard bargain. Moreover, she salvaged the shop’s tarnished reputation. Mrs. Deng felt that Zhuang Qingning truly was her lucky star.
Perhaps she is a benefactor sent by Heaven when Mrs. Deng was having hard times!
If indeed she is a benefactor, Mrs. Deng must take good care of her. Who knows, she might bring her more good fortune in the future.
Speaking with Mrs. Deng was a woman who had a close relationship with her. She also smiled and said, “That’s right. In the future, no one can say your Feng Shui is bad. If anyone says so, they would be insincere.”
“How could it be insincere? This place is obviously bad Feng Shui, can it turn good now? It’s just the first day, can you tell if it’s good or bad? What if the bad is yet to come!”
A young man with a round face and short stature, Wang Fubao, said indignantly.
Mrs. Deng, who was in a good mood, frowned upon hearing these words that dampened her spirit. When she turned to look at the speaker, she gave him a harsh look: “What kind of nonsense are you saying? Where did you learn to speak like that? What kind of person always wishes ill of others with his words?”
“I’m just telling the truth. This place has bad Feng Shui; it’s ominous! Just you watch, the business here will definitely get worse and worse. Perhaps, a bloody disaster is in store! This kind of shop should not be opened randomly, lest the whole street suffer the consequences!” Wang Fubao, with his neck stiff, shouted at Mrs. Deng.
“What nonsense you’re spouting!”
Mrs. Deng became worried: “Who curses people like this? Whose family are you from? I need to look for your parents and ask how they educate you, to let you say these things outside?”
As she said this, Mrs. Deng reached out to grab Wang Fubao’s arm.
Seeing this, Wang Fubao dodged to one side and then slipped away as fast as he could.
Mrs. Deng grabbed the air and almost tripped over. After she barely steadied herself and saw Wang Fubao’s retreating figure she became even more furious: “In the future, you better not let me see you. If I don’t scratch your face till it’s covered in welts, then my name isn’t Deng…”
“Who knows what kind of vicious brat he is, speaking such harsh words. Is he not afraid of shortening his lifespan, he who invites a lightning strike!”
Mrs. Deng indulged in her outrage for a long time, cursing vehemently without taking a single breath. The stream of invective came out one after the other, without a single repetition.
The friend who was speaking with her took a long time to temporarily pacify her.
Even though Wang Fubao had run far away, he could still hear the loud curses. His face turned red and a layer of sweat surfaced on his forehead. He didn’t dare to stop to wipe it off. Only when he entered an alley and could no longer see what was behind him, did he lean against the wall and let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, someone suddenly clapped his shoulder, which scared Wang Fubao into jumping to the side. When he saw who the person was, he sighed in relief: “Oh, it’s Brother Shu. You scared me to death. It’s easy to frighten a person to death, please don’t scare people like this in the future.”
“Look at your courage.” Feng Ershu glanced at him: “Just asked you to do this little thing, and you’re already so scared. If I ask you to do something else, won’t you kneel down on the spot, crying for your parents?”
“Brother Shu, you can’t say that. That woman seems fiercely intimidating. It’s my quick feet that saved me. If I ran a bit slower, perhaps my face would’ve been scratched until it was full of welts.”
Wang Fubao pouted: “It’s my quick feet that saved me from a disaster. Besides, I’ve done the job you asked me to do, Brother Shu. I think I’ve spread enough rumors. Probably, many have already heard it.”
“Brother Shu, that money…” Wang Fubao looked at Feng Ershu with a face full of smiles: “It’s not that I want to rush Brother Shu, it’s just that I must pay the debt I owe to the winery. If I don’t pay it back, I might get beaten up. Can you feel pity for me, Brother Shu, and give me the money early? How about it?” “Look at you. You love money more than your father!” Feng Ershu looked at Wang Fubao’s boot-licking attitude with disdain, curled his lip, took out a money bag from his waist, and threw it to him.
Wang Fubao caught it in one hand, weighed it, and his smile became broader: “Great, thank you, Brother Shu. If you have any more jobs like this in the future, don’t forget to call me.”
“Don’t worry, there’s plenty of work for you in the future. There’s more to be done. Keep coming over to my place and you’ll definitely be rewarded.” Feng Ershu smiled.
“Alright then, Brother Shu. As long as there’ money, I’ll do whatever you ask.”
Wang Fubao squinted his eyes and said, “Brother, if you don’t mind, may I ask what offense Mrs. Deng’s family has committed against you, Brother Shu, that you have to ruin the reputation of her shop?”
The smile on Feng Ershu’s face hardened at once, all that remained were the cold eyes.
“Look at my big mouth.” Wang Fubao noticed something was wrong, and slapped himself in the mouth: “Brother Shu, please ignore it. I’ve been drinking too much recently, and my words tend to slip. Please pretend you didn’t hear what I just asked.”
“Alright, Brother Shu. You go ahead with your work, I’ll leave first.”
Afterward, Wang Fubao put the money bag into his pocket and quickly left.
After Wang Fubao had gone far away, the coldness in Feng Ershu’s eyes gradually faded. Looking at the busy tofu shop filled with people coming and going, the barely suppressed hatred flared up across his face once again.
What deep grudge is there?
Humph, it’s such a shame there’s no deep grudge at all. On the contrary, he needed something from Mrs. Deng. He wanted her to sell the shop to him and at a low price, no less.
Regrettably, Mrs. Deng is an oblivious woman. She stated that the location of the shop is excellent, so she definitely would not lower the price one bit. What’s more, she stated that this shop was left by her husband and she did not intend to sell it. Unless the price was high enough, she would not consider selling it..
