The Wu Lengzi mentioned by Zhao Tou'er was the big fireman.
He saw that the people outside were probably here to cause trouble, so he ran into the backyard and shouted to the firemen who were standing or sitting: "Someone is here to smash the store, brothers, grab your weapons!"
There was nothing in Jiang Yanyi's backyard that could be used as a weapon, so a dozen firemen simply took some firewood and went outside.
Wu Lengzi's roar could be heard clearly in the kitchen.
Qiu Kui's first reaction was that Hu Baiwan was here again. He sat on the small stool behind the stove and his face turned pale. "Hua Hua, what should I do?"
Jiang Yanyi took off her apron and said, "It's okay. I'll go out and take a look first."
Chef Li called her over and said, "Why would someone suddenly come and smash the store? Did you offend someone?"
Jiang Yanyi told the story of Hu Baiwan in a few words. Cook Li was angry and knocked the soup spoon against the edge of the pot, saying angrily: "What a bunch of hooligans! How dare you bully my daughter from Huotouying! Master will go out with you to take a look!"
Chef Li walked in front. Jiang Yanyi looked at his thin but straight back. He felt warm in his heart, but his nose felt a little sour.
Perhaps because he had been a cook all his life, Jiang Yanyi felt that Chef Li was very similar to his father in his previous life. They had a similar temper and a similar obsession with cooking.
Every time Chef Li was nice to her, Jiang Yanyi would think of her father.
She followed Chef Li into the shop in front. Originally, she was not afraid of Hu Baiwan coming to cause trouble, but now she seemed to have found some strength in her heart to support her and became more confident.
Madam Hu Shao got off the carriage tremblingly with the help of several maids. In order to show her power, she brought more than ten servants with her before leaving the house. She thought that this scene alone would be enough to scare the female manager of the shop.
Unexpectedly, before she could order the servants to smash the things, more than a dozen big men walked out of the shop with large pieces of firewood in their hands.
Those who could enter the military camp must have met the physical requirements, and they were all tall and strong.
In comparison, the group of servants she brought with her looked like skinny monkeys wrapped in cloth.
They have already lost a lot in terms of momentum. If they fight head-on, they will definitely not end up well.
Mrs. Hu had an unpleasant look on her face, thinking that this little fox was not bad, she actually knew that she was going to come here to teach her a lesson today, and deliberately found so many peasants to come here to make up the place.
Zhao Tou'er was a shrewd man. Even though the two groups were obviously on edge, he could still bow and smile and ask, "Madam, are you coming to the inn to eat?"
Madam Hu said sharply, "I am afraid I will feel like vomiting after eating the soup made by that bitch who seduces other people's husbands."
She was determined to make Jiang Yanyi lose face on this street so that he would never be able to raise his head to do business again. Although she was afraid of the dozen big men in the other party's shop and could not directly let her servants smash the shop, she could still curse Jiang Yanyi a few times to ruin his reputation.
Just at this moment, Jiang Yanyi followed Chef Li from the backyard to the shop.
When Chef Li saw the Hu family logo on her carriage, he guessed the identity of the fat woman and said directly, "You are really unreasonable, you picky woman. Why don't you ask the neighbors on this street to see whether it was your man who was pestering the shop that day, or my daughter who was misbehaving."
When Mrs. Hu heard him calling her "my daughter" all the time, her face instantly turned ugly and she glared at the servant who had tried to inquire about the news.
Isn’t it said that the shop owner is an orphan
But she was not afraid of a sixty-year-old man, and she cursed: "How do I know how many people on this street have slipped under your daughter's skirt and will speak for your daughter? What a joke, what kind of person is my husband? If it weren't for this little bitch seducing my husband, would my husband have liked her?"
Jiang Yanyi poured a cup of cold tea and splashed it directly on Madam Hu, saying with a fake smile, "I noticed that your wife didn't clean her mouth this morning, so I'll give you a cup of tea to rinse your mouth. You're welcome."
Mrs. Hu's dress was newly made, made of brocade silk, and she treasured it very much. Now someone splashed a cup of tea on it. Mrs. Hu was shocked and angry, and her voice pierced through the entire main street of the Protectorate: "My new dress!"
This commotion attracted many pedestrians to stop and watch.
Jiang Yanyi raised his voice at the right time and said, "I will return that 'joke' to you, Madam. Who in the whole Western Province doesn't know that your husband is a playboy who can't walk when he sees a girl? No matter how rich and powerful your Hu family is, you can't confuse right and wrong like this. I'm running a business, but you make up these fictitious things to tarnish my reputation?"
"It was the soldiers of the Protectorate that dragged your husband away that day. Madam, you may go to the Protectorate and knock on the door to ask why they took your husband to the government office. As for what kind of person I am, my neighbors can all testify to it."
Because of Mrs. Hu's nonsense just now, the male neighbors did not say anything, but the female neighbors all joined in the conversation.
"Don't bully others like this. Shopkeeper Jiang has one more person to mark. How can he be interested in the ignorant second-generation descendant of the Hu family?"
"This couple from the Hu family really matches the pot with the lid!"
"He picked the day when the store opened to mess up the place. How evil is his heart!"
"It was intentional. Do you remember the little Taohong who sang in Lai Fu Restaurant? It was clearly Hu Baiwan who harassed her several times, but a group of evil servants dragged the little Taohong to the street and beat her until she was half dead. The Hu family really thinks they are the local emperors of Xizhou!"
"Manager Jiang is such a kind person, how come he is entangled by this couple..."
The onlookers were just watching the fun at first, but after hearing everyone talking about it and considering Hu Baiwan's reputation in Xizhou, they instantly understood the situation.
There were even passers-by who joined in criticizing the Hu family, and the situation did not develop at all in the way that Mrs. Hu had expected.
Mrs. Hu listened to the discussions of the women around her and became so angry that her fat all over her body trembled.
In the past, she could deal with anyone she wanted with her mouth, and she was accompanied by a group of vicious servants. Even if the girls she surrounded wanted to clear themselves, they could not overpower her.
This was the first time that she suffered a loss. Mrs. Hu was so angry that her heart ached. When she was angry, her mind was not very clear. She only thought about how to get back at him. She immediately shouted, "Smash the store!"
Under normal circumstances, the group of vicious servants behind her would have started smashing things in a show of force, but today, when they looked at the dozen or so firemen holding firewood in the shop, and then glanced at the sticks in their own hands, they felt a little scared.
After Madam Hu yelled, the servants behind her didn't move. She turned around angrily and slapped the servant closest to her: "Are you deaf? I told you to smash the store!"
The group of evil servants had no choice but to go ahead.
The firemen were afraid of damaging the things in Jiang Yanyi's store, so they didn't even wait to rush into the store, but went out and started fighting in the street.
Those who came out of the military camp were always better at fighting than a group of idle slaves, and the evil servants of the Hu family were soon beaten black and blue one by one.
Madam Hu was so angry that she quickly ordered the maid beside her: "Go to the government office and bring someone here quickly. Tell them that I was beaten on the street!"
The maid left quickly.
Mrs. Hu rolled up her sleeves with difficulty and was ready to face Jiang Yanyi in person.
Jiang Yanyi is not stupid. He knows he can't win just by looking at his body.
She was so agile that Mrs. Hu couldn't catch up with her, so she simply took out her anger on the bowls and plates in the store and threw them on the ground.
Broken pieces of porcelain flew everywhere. Although Mrs. Hu was wearing embroidered shoes, her weight was there. When she stepped down, a piece of broken porcelain pierced the sole of her embroidered shoe and pierced into the sole of her foot.
Mrs. Hu screamed in pain, raised her foot and half bent over to try to see where she had stabbed into the broken porcelain, but because she was too fat, she could not bend over at all, and instead she lost her balance and fell on her butt.
The place where she sat down happened to be filled with the broken porcelain bowls and plates that she had just smashed. The broken porcelain shards pierced into her flesh. Mrs. Hu screamed like a pig being slaughtered again, and her face turned pale with pain.
The few maids left by her side looked at each other, and none of them dared to step forward to help.
Jiang Yanyi didn't expect that Mrs. Hu would suffer retribution right after she smashed a set of his bowls and plates.
She quickly said to the crowd who were still watching the excitement at the door: "Please everyone, please stand up and testify. She fell down by herself. It has nothing to do with the store."
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, and they obviously felt that it was a farce for Madam Hu to bring her evil servant here today to teach people a lesson.
"Make way! The government is investigating a case, outsiders please stay away!"
A group of officials appeared on the street, and the one leading them was the maid that Madam Hu Shao had just assigned.
When the maid came back, she saw Madam Hu sitting on the ground, with blood on her feet and blood seeping out from under her skirt. Her face was pale. She was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward to help her up, her face panicked: "Madam, is your period coming?"
Otherwise, why is the whole butt red
Madam Hu was so angry that she wanted to slap the maid twice, but unfortunately she didn't have the strength to do so. She could only cry out, "There's a broken porcelain on my butt."
"Oh oh." The maid hurriedly helped Madam Hu up, but she was too weak. Madam Hu's foot was also pierced by broken porcelain, and she tried to put most of her body weight on the maid.
The maidservant was unable to support her at all and instead was crushed and sprained her waist. She followed Madam Hu into the pile of broken porcelain and landed with a dull thud.
This time, a piece of broken porcelain pierced into Mrs. Hu's back, causing her to scream in pain.
Jiang Yanyi was stunned. It was the first time she saw what it meant to be "covered in bruises", and it was the other party's own fault.
The chief of the officials recognized Mrs. Hu. Seeing that the servant of the Hu family was beaten black and blue, and Mrs. Hu was covered with broken porcelain, he made a sullen gesture to the officials behind him: "The shop owner is deliberately hurting people. The shop is closed. Bring all the people back to the government office!"
Jiang Yanyi discovered that this officer was very good at lying with his eyes open. The maid went to help Madam Hu and fell again. This group of officers clearly witnessed it with their own eyes.
She didn't know the relationship between Mrs. Hu and Magistrate Xie, but at this moment she keenly felt that the government and the Hu family were probably closely involved in secret.
If she was sent to jail like this, she didn't know what would be waiting for her. Jiang Yanyi couldn't help but sweat in his hands.
Several officers stepped forward to arrest him, but the firemen, receiving instructions from Chef Li and Tou'er Zhao, stepped forward to stop them.
Seeing this, the chief of the police sneered and said, "Do you still want to rebel?"
Zhao Tou'er was a smooth person, and he had more connections outside the military camp than Chef Li. He cupped his hands and said, "I don't recognize this captain. I wonder if Captain Yuan Meng is still working in the government?"
The chief constable glanced at him and said, "Captain Yuan retired and returned home several years ago."
There was no way to save face, so Zhao had to change his words: "We are all from the Fire Camp of the Xizhou Camp. Today, this woman came to provoke us first. The injuries on her body were also caused by her own fall. It is inappropriate for the official to arrest her without any investigation."
The military camp and the government have always kept to themselves. The chief of the police didn't take the fireman seriously and sneered, "You are meddling in other people's business. Do I need you cooks to teach me how to handle a case?"
The firemen all looked angry.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the crowd, "They can't teach them, how can I teach them?"
