Chapter 44 - She Is Also A Liar
" That's right , That's right . Shopkeeper Zheng is cruel and mean , he often beats and scolds his staff . I heard that shopkeeper Zheng had beaten his delivery boy so badly a week ago that there wasn't an inch of skin that was left unwounded . Shopkeeper Zheng had beaten that poor boy until his leg crippled and his internal organs shifted yet he somehow shamelessly shifted the blame on the delivery boy and claimed that the boy stole from his shop . Who is he trying to fool here ? Who will have the guts of leopard to steal right under from such a cruel man , its no wonder he taught his son to bully the weak like this "
" Humph , like father like son . Both of them are cruel and vicious .Hey boy , I heard your father sent you to the academy in town for studying , is this what your teachers are teaching you ?"
" Scholar ? He is a studying to be a scholar ?"asked an old man whose beady eyes swept at the two troublemakers contemptuously " What a sin ! In my time only young men with capabilities and honest character were allowed to study ,but look at what the times have come to now , anyone can sneak in an academy with money and right networkings . sigh ~ "
The shopkeeper next to their restaurant wasn't surprised , he just shook his head and calmly spoke" I have seen these two boys visiting this restaurant rather frequently for a couple of years . They would sometimes come alone or sometimes they will bring a huge crowd with them but everytime they come here for meal , they never paid . I have seen them beat manager Wang everytime that poor old man asked them to settle their bills . This is not their first time beating the staff of this restaurant , not only do they beat the staff members , they even grope the maid who works in the restaurant , I heard that tired of getting assualted , the maid had no choice but to quit . "
" I know that girl too , what a pity she used to work so diligently . Aiye , Surname Zheng how can you bully young women like this ? First it was the restaurant 's maid , now you are even bullying the restaurant's owner .Look at her young age, don't you think that its really shameless of you to eat a meal but refusing to pay ? Miss , you should pay attention to whom you allow to enter your restaurant as well , look where your lack of negligence brought you " said another shopkeeper with a voice that was filled with pity and sympathy .He was the one who was standing the closest to Su Wan thus he heard the words 'husbands ' clearly . Such a young girl yet she was degraded to being a wife of so four young men , how pitiful aye !
" What nonsense are you people sprouting off ! Aren't you afraid that my father will find trouble with you once I tell him what you guys just said ?" Surname Zheng was young but he was a known ruffian in the town. His father knew quite a lot of murderers and hooligans as well but that wasn't all his mother 's sister was a concubine at the secretary general of the town , even though she was just a concubine , she was quite favoured by the secretary general and thus everytime his family got into trouble his mother would ask his aunt for help and the problem would settle down smoothly . Surname Zheng thus became even more fearless with a gangster like father and secretary general as hiz uncle in law .
After being threatened by Surname Zheng 's fierce gaze , the group of people instantly turned silent. All of them were more or less aware of Surname Zheng 's father's means. Some of the more timid ones left the crowd at once afraid that Surname Zheng would tattle about them to his father .
Surname Zheng saw that the crowd turned silent and he sneered turning to look at Su Wan with a leering gaze as he let his perverted gaze travel all over her thin and pretty figure " and you ! You sure have guts , this restaurant is yours ? Why don't you just say that even the emperor's throne is yours ! This shop belongs to my friend Su Cheng ! So what if I eat in this restaurant who are you to stop me ? You better think about paying the proper price to this father , or else I will call the Yamen runners and throw you inside the jail like a bitch , you are "
Lin Jing and Lin Yan who had barely suppressed their anger , instantly they stepped forward but was stopped by Su Wan , she hurriedly wiped her eyes ( trying to make them red ) and burst out in tears ( fake tears ) " How dare you sprout such a lie and shame my brother ! This restaurant belongs to me , Su Wan . ! This restaurant was originally one of my mother's dowry shops and the Su family was only taking care of them . Are you trying to say that my Su family actually coveted their married daughter's dowry shop ? Are you trying to bring shame to my brother's name and yet you dare call yourselves his friend !"
Lin Yan 's clenched his fists so hard that the veins in his hand were popping out , he couldn't sit still when he heard Surname Zheng call his wife 'bitch' . He pointed his finger at Surname Zheng and Surname Ji and said " You both rather talk politely or else it will be my fists and your face , I swear if you talked nonsense then it won't be me speaking , it will be my fists ! Don't think we are afraid just because you have some networks "
" that's right " chimed Su Wan from Lin Yan 's side " My second uncle is a well known butcher in town and he sells meat to lot of prestigious families, his connections are not less than yours , my eldest uncle is a merchant he sure knows a lot of people as well . Even my third uncle works in the town's pharmacy , if you really want to threaten me then you better ask who Shen Hai is !"
Shen Hai opened a small pharmacy in the town but his fame wasn't any less than Shopkeeper Zheng 's infact it was an unspoken rule in the town that you can offend anyone but Shen Hai and Shopkeeper Zheng .
Surname Zheng was a bit afraid of Lin Jing and the others tall and muscular physique but then he remembered that Su Cheng told him that this shop belonged to his family and in future he would be the owner of this restaurant . In fact Su Cheng even told him that he was too worried about managing this small restaurant once he becomes an official , thus Surname Zheng was the one who told Su Cheng that he should let his younger brother Zheng Ming manage it in the future . At that time Su Cheng agreed and he even said that in the future he would let the Zheng family have fifty percent shares as income . Surname Zheng who believed that in the future His younger brother would be managing this restaurant already considered it as his family's restaurant after all he had a promise of sharing fifty percent profit with Su Cheng . Thus , Surname Zheng totally believed that Su Wan was just faking it , if Su Cheng 's family didn't own this restaurant why would Su Cheng make such bold statements ? Once Surname Zheng thought it through his confidence once again boosted " So what if I call her a bitch ? She is bitch ! Just look at her , she shamelessly clings on to so many men in public and call you all her husbands , ptoeey ! A shared wife, ? A decent woman would have committed suicide . Only a shameless bitch who has an itch down her legs would spread her legs open for so many men ! Not only she is a bitch , she is also a liar , she actually dared to say that -"
Surname Zheng 's vulgar speech stopped in between not because he got tired but because the Lin brothers threw themselves at him.
As for Su Wan she simply waved the staff of her restaurant and asked him to get a chair .
