Chapter 277: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 277: A Farce of Buying a Shop (Part 6)
"It wasn't you? Then who did it? We all saw it with our own eyes. How dare you not admit it? The people from Zhang's are truly despicable. They deserve to be struck by lightning."
"That's right, daring to swing such a thick stick at someone's head, it's too cruel."
"Come on, let's go report this to the authorities. If a serious incident occurs, it won't be good."
At this point, Zhang Ming in the shop sensed something amiss. He walked out holding the child and immediately saw the woman sitting on the ground with blood all over her face. Hearing the accusations from the crowd, his face turned pale.
"You, you all shouldn't falsely accuse others. It's clearly, it's clearly the woman who hit her head by herself, yes, it's her own fault. How can you blame my wife? You all leave, don't block my business."
Zhang Ming was also terrified and couldn't think straight. Without thinking, he started driving people away. When those people didn't leave, he picked up the fallen stick and waved it at them.
The onlookers had witnessed Yao Taohua attacking with the stick, and now seeing Zhang Ming doing the same, they were afraid of getting hurt and quickly backed away.
Some kind-hearted individuals ran to the end of the street to find a carriage and helped the injured woman into it, urging the driver to hurry to the clinic for treatment.
Mo Yan and Li Zhong watched this whole commotion clearly. Seeing the panicked couple sitting by the door, they both shook their heads.
Mo Yan tapped the edge of her cup. "Grandpa Li, it seems the Zhang family won't be able to turn things around."
This Zhang Ming may seem okay on the surface, but his actions are so foolish. If he had properly taken the injured woman to the clinic and apologized sincerely, the matter might have been resolved. But now, by neglecting her and refusing to admit fault, given that woman's temperament, the Zhang family might end up being reported to Yamen.
With this incident, the reputation of Zhang's rice shop has worsened. Who would be willing to buy anything from there anymore?
Li Zhong nodded. "Only Zhang Fugui has some skills, but now he's lying in bed, unable to do anything. His son is useless, and now his daughter-in-law has caused such trouble. They'll likely suffer heavy losses to settle this."
Seeing the downfall of the Zhang family, he felt a hint of satisfaction but also regret. It was because of this useless and foolish man that he agreed to betroth his good daughter to him. Wasn't he just as foolish?
As he watched the bustling street with no one entering the rice shop across the street, a sudden idea popped into Mo Yan's mind.
"Grandpa Li, what do you think about us buying the Zhang family's shop?"
"What?" Li Zhong was momentarily stunned, then widened his eyes. "Yan'er, what do you want to do with a shop? Don't you dislike doing business?"
Mo Yan smiled. "I don't like doing business, and I don't know how, but Grandpa Li, you do!"
If they could acquire Zhang's rice shop, they could let Grandpa Li manage it and sell rice and fruit there. She could almost imagine the disbelief on the faces of the Zhang family when they saw Grandpa Li. Who would have thought that someone they had angered to the point of spitting blood would become the new shopkeeper of their store?
The psychological gap would be immense!
Li Zhong looked at his young mistress in astonishment. How could he not understand that she wanted to vent her anger for his
family?
Suppressing the surge of sourness and gratitude in his heart, he smiled and nodded. "Zhang's shop has a good location and a large area. Whether it's for selling rice or other goods, it's very good. But Zhang's may not necessarily sell,
"Don't worry about these issues, Grandpa Li. You just need to wait for the shop to open and be the big shopkeeper inside." There was a strong sense of confidence on Mo Yan's face. She would find a way to get this shop.
