There were many elderly old men in the crowd of onlookers, and they sighed with feeling: "As the old saying goes, filial piety comes first, and her father-in-law is unreasonable to make trouble, this tofu Shih Tzu is a daughter-in-law, so he makes trouble so shamelessly, regardless of it, he doesn't even see each other, it's too ruthless." ”

"People's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining."

The discussion of the people around finally made Xing'er defeated, and her tone did not have the toughness just now, and softened: "Don't make trouble, if you have anything to say, don't make trouble at the door of the store." ”

When Old Man Song heard this, he immediately wiped away the tears in his eyes, got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and happily walked in front of Xing'er and entered the store.

……

Old man Song walked into the store, wandered around, and from time to time took a piece of dessert from the display shelf, put it in his mouth to taste, and then put it back on the shelf, placing the unbitten side outwards to make it look as if it had not been bitten.

Then, I asked the customers if they had a good meal and if they needed to order anything, as if they were the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Xing'er and a few waiters stood in front of the cashier counter, and after watching the old man Song harass one table after another, they walked to the cashier's counter, entered the counter, and walked to an old account room.

"How's business going? Do a good job, I can't treat you badly. ”

"Accounting can not be sloppy, every account must be recorded in detail and clearly, will the abacus be used? I'll take a look after a few hits. ”

The old bookkeeper looked helpless, and made a few perfunctory calculations, and the old man Song said again: "Show me the account book." ”

The old bookkeeper looked at Xing'er hesitantly, and the old man Song's face sank: "Look at what she does, she is just a shopkeeper, this is my daughter-in-law's shop, does she dare not listen to what I say?" Is there a ghost in your heart, trying to deceive me, isn't it? Believe it or not, I'll fire you right now! ”

Xing'er said helplessly to the bookkeeper, "Show him." ”

Old man Song took the account book from the hands of the account room, glared at the other party fiercely, then looked down and checked it, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, such a big store, the revenue is only a few dozen taels of silver a day, how can it go on like this, my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is famous in Luoyang, the things are so delicious, the price is set so low, how can there be any profit, if the price is increased by five times, a lot of people will buy it, and those poor ghosts don't ......do their business."

As he spoke, he walked over to the bookkeeper and pushed the other party's shoulder, "You get up, don't you see me standing?" There is no distinction between the young and the old! Do you know how to respect the old and love the young? ”

The bookkeeper stood up, and the old man Song sat on the cashier's seat, opened the drawer at the counter, took out an ingot of ten taels of silver in the drawer, put it in his pocket, and stood up while pretending to be casual, "What you do in this business, I don't know what to say about you, like this greasy copper plate, you don't need to look at it, just refuse to accept it, the poor ghost should go to buy steamed buns, and the level of our store has been lowered by a grade...... By the way, I've been here for so long, why hasn't anyone served me tea yet, and I'll be your shopkeeper in the future, don't you even know this etiquette? How did my daughter-in-law teach you? Let her come out and see me! ”

Xing'er is just a little girl after all, how could she have dealt with such a scoundrel old man, and quietly said to a waitress beside her: "Go find Brother Zhen!" ”

After the old man Song took the silver, he never saw the Zhang family come out to see him, and he was annoyed, and raised his eyes to see the door to the kitchen in the store, with a sign on it that idlers should not enter, and turned around and walked over there.

Xing'er wanted to stop it, but he pushed it away with one hand, but he didn't expect that although he was old, he had a lot of strength and kicked open the kitchen door.

"Isn't this here? How dare you lie to me and say no! ”

Zhang, who had never dared to go out of the kitchen, saw Old Man Song come in, and his face turned white with fright, and he involuntarily half-hid behind Huan'er, holding Huan'er's arm tightly with both hands.

Anyone could see how afraid the Zhang family was of the old man in front of him, Huan'er patted her hands lightly in distress, and whispered: "Sister Zhang, don't be afraid, I won't let him bully you!" ”

When Old Man Song saw Zhang, he was first overjoyed, and then when he saw her cowering, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, "What's wrong?" Seeing that his father-in-law can't even say hello? ”

Zhang shivered, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Father-in-law." ”

"It seems that everything I told you that day was in vain, do you want me to come over or do you want to come by yourself."

Xing'er stopped in front of him and shouted: "Sister Zhang, don't pay attention to him, Brother Zhen will be here soon, he won't dare to do anything to you!" ”

"Brother Zhen? Hmph, it turned out that there was a concubine, so I said how dare you not listen to me, you wait! ”

Old man Song began to look around, his eyes fell on a rattan broom at the door, he staggered over, laboriously broke off a rattan from the broom, and waved it a few times in the air, and the rattan made a whirring wind.

"My son has not taken a day off from you, you are my daughter-in-law for a day, and my word is your holy will! If you are disobedient, it is only natural that I will kill you, even if you go to the yamen, the official master should be sentenced like this, and no one dares to say anything! You can't get by! ”

Zhang was already pale with fright, but he always hid behind Huan'er and refused to go over.

"You're bullying me for being old and can't walk, aren't you? Let me tell you, when I was fighting under Emperor Wen, I specially punished those soldiers who escaped from the battle, and now although I am old, I have not been unfamiliar with the means of whipping, and you have not tasted my power! ”

Old man Song held the rattan and was about to walk towards Zhang.

Xing'er on the side was anxious, blocked in front of him, and shouted: "You have already sold Sister Zhang, she is no longer from your Song family!" Don't you just want money? If you take the money, don't go away! ”

"Let's go? From today onwards, I will be the shopkeeper of this store, and you will leave if you want to go! She entered the door of my Song family one day, and when she died, she was also the ghost of my Song family, you little won't let go, if you don't let go, I'll fight you together! ”

Old man Song pushed aside Xing'er who was blocking him with one hand, his hand was so strong that he didn't look like an old man in his sixties at all, he walked straight to Zhang's side, pulled the ring away, and raised the rattan to greet Zhang.

The rattan was whipped on Zhang's body, making a thunderclapping and screeching sound, and his clothes were torn.

Old man Song scolded while smoking: "You really think that you are a high-ranking boss lady, and after a few days of good life, you forget who you are, and you don't even care about my father-in-law, right, tell you, without my son marrying you back to Luoyang, you are a cheap woman selling tofu in the countryside, nothing!" ”
