Chapter 256: Don’t Point At My Wife’s Nose
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations
When Shen Yao and Ji Zhao arrived, they saw this scene.
The aggressive rice shop workers and the helpless and depressed Eldest Brother Shen.
Ji Zhao had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly turned around to leave. A moment later, she forcefully struck the gong in her hand and shouted!
The group of rice shop workers who were acting shamelessly outside Shen Ji’s door were all shocked!
“Ah Tao? Third Brother?” After seeing who it was, Eldest Brother Shen seemed to have grasped onto a straw to clutch at.
“Eldest Brother, don’t be afraid.” Ji Zhao smiled and comforted him. Then, she gave Shen Yao a look.
Shen Yao immediately nodded, turned around, returned to Shen Ji, and brought out a stool.
“Everyone, please listen to me! Ji Zhao looked around at everyone and shouted, “First of all, our Shen Ji is a conscientious merchant. We have never done anything lacking! We run Shen Ji with the purpose of operating it honestly! So, this brother! Please grow your brain the next time you speak! ”
Ji Zhao pointed at the tall man who was shouting the loudest in the direction and said with a cold gaze, “You just said that you have a contract in your hand, but you don’t seem to have figured out the truth! First of all, the contract signed between Shen Ji Pastry Shop and Zhao’s Rice Shop is unequal! In other words, our Shen Ji is also a victim!’
“My eldest brother wanted to go to the county office to report the case just now, but you guys blocked the door of Shen Ji! What? Do you really think that there are no laws in Dingyuan County?” Ji Zhao questioned sharply!
‘Where did this b*tch come from? It’s not up to you to decide here, right?” The tall, thin-faced man pointed at Ji Zhao’s nose angrily and scolded, “Don’t fool me here! Shen Ji has already signed the contract. The black and white words on it are clearly written! ”
“Anyway, if Shen Ji doesn’t pay us today, this matter won’t end!”
Shen Yao narrowed his eyes unhappily and walked closer to the thin-faced man. He frowned and grabbed his hand that was pointing at Ah Tao. His low voice was filled with hostility. “Don’t point at my wife’s nose.”
“Pfft, where did this crazy woman come from… Ah!’
Before the man could finish speaking, Shen Yao had already crushed his index finger expressionlessly.
The man let out a low roar of pain!
“Brothers, smash Shen Ji for me!”
The workers in the rice shop seemed to have gone crazy. They rushed into Shen Ji and started smashing things.
After a while, the shop was smashed into a mess.
At the end of the day, the bailiffs who had received the news arrived late.
“Stop it!”
“It’s outrageous, isn’t it?’
“Take them all away!’
The workers in the rice shop and Eldest Brother Shen were taken away by the bailiffs.
“Ah Tao, what should we do?!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen grabbed Ji Zhao’s wrist anxiously. ‘Will your eldest brother be alright?”
“Eldest Sister-in-law, don’t worry.” Ji Zhao quickly comforted her. “Ah Yao and
I will think of a way. Big Brother will definitely be fine.”
“But…” The more she thought about it, the more worried Eldest Sister-in-law Shen became. In the end, her pregnancy was still affected.
An hour later.
Ji Zhao looked at Sister-in-law Shen, whose face was covered in tears, and hurriedly held her hand. She comforted her gently, “Eldest Sister-in-law, you heard what the doctor said just now, right? You’re about to give birth in a month. This is a critical moment. If your emotions are so unstable, it will affect the child’s health, so promise me not to let your imagination run wild, okay?’
“Ah Tao, I’m still very worried about your brother.” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen raised the back of her hand to wipe the tears off her face and sobbed. “I knew that Shopkeeper Zhao didn’t have good intentions! But your eldest brother just wouldn’t listen to my advice… If I could persuade your eldest brother more, perhaps things wouldn’t have become so bad. It’s all my fault… Boohoo…”
“Sister-in-law, pull yourself together!” Ji Zhao held her shoulders and said seriously, “From the moment Shopkeeper Zhao got close to Big Brother, all of this was a trap. So don’t let your imagination run wild, because this isn’t fault at all!”
“But…”
“No buts!” Ji Zhao interrupted her firmly and said seriously, “Sister-in-law, don’t think too much. After drinking the pregnancy stabilizing medicine, rest for a while. Leave the matters outside to me.”
After comforting Eldest Sister-in-law Shen, Ji Zhao went to the front yard.
At that moment, Feng Chunyan was tidying up the shop. When she heard footsteps, she turned to look at Ji Zhao and called out with reddened eyes, “Sister Ah Tao.’
“Chunyan, shall we clean up together?” Ji Zhao immediately rolled up her sleeves and helped Feng Chunyan clean up.
The two of them quickly cleaned up the shop.
In the end, the two of them were so tired that they could not straighten their backs.
Feng Chunyan immediately poured two cups of honey water. “Sister Ah Tao, why don’t you have a drink too?’
“Thank you, Chunyan.”
“Sister Ah Tao, actually, there’s something that Eldest Brother-in-law has been unwilling to let me tell you…” Feng Chunyan thought about it and decided to reveal the secret hidden in her heart. “Actually, Brother-in-law insisted on moving the shop because of me.”
“Huh? Where did that come from?”
“Last year, when I was looking over the shop, something happened.” Feng
Chunyan lowered her head and said in a low voice, “At that time, Shopkeeper Zhao accompanied a young master to buy pastries. Brother-in-law said that the young master was the only son of the county magistrate. Young Master Ma was the most lecherous… When he was buying pastries, he touched me.. ” “Brother-in-law had no choice but to help me out. He even said that I was already engaged,” Feng Chunyan said in a choked voice. “It’s just that I didn’t expect that Young Master Ma to still not give up. He even came to Shen Ji several times to touch me… Brother-in-law really had no choice but to hire a matchmaker to help me arrange a marriage.”
“The person that Matchmaker Sun said was Shopkeeper Zhao’s nephew and also the young master of the Zhang family’s tavern. Therefore, the reason why Brother-in-law is willing to believe Shopkeeper Zhao is because he wants to use this matter to be on good terms with Shopkeeper Zhao. This way, my marriage will be settled.”
“I wanted to tell Sister about it, but Brother-in-law wouldn’t let me…
Brother-in-law said that Sister is about to give birth, so I can’t let her worry!” The more Feng Chunyan spoke, the sadder she became. Her tears kept falling like a kite with a broken string. “Sister Ah Tao, this is all my fault… Boohoo…”
Ji Zhao did not expect there to be such a complicated story behind this matter.
She suddenly thought of something else. She had a dream about Feng Chunyan.
In the dream, Feng Chunyan had also been chosen by that silk-pants Young Master Ma. The subsequent story was even more sorrowful..
Because of this, Eldest Brother Shen even suffered an undeserved prison sentence.
Ji Zhao thought that with her reminder, this matter would not happen again. However, she did not expect that the plot in the book would happen in another form..
