Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up
Chapter 532 Zeng Fan Gets Beaten
As for Zeng Fan, he took the 10 taels of silver from Manager Zhao and fled back to his hometown. He had no choice but to not stay in Heyang County. If the incident became a big deal, even though he had made a good start, he couldn't continue to make ends meet.
He only earned a few hundred coins a month in the braised pork shop, and met the shopkeeper Zhao, who originally just wanted to cheat him of some money.
But he didn't expect that Manager Zhao was really willing to give him 20% of the profit, so he decided to go for it.
Although he knew that he didn't have many spices on hand, Zeng Fan still wanted to give it a try. Unexpectedly, he actually opened this braised pork shop, and the profit was decent.
But when the spices ran out, he couldn't think of a way to deal with it. He panicked, but there was nothing he could do because the 20% that the shopkeeper had promised to give him had not yet reached him.
Zeng Fan had no choice but to lie to him, saying he needed silver to buy spices. Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Zhao actually gave him ten taels of silver. Zeng Fan did not really want to run away with the silver. He had originally wanted to buy spices.
But there was nothing they could do. The Dachun couple refused to give in, and they had made trouble for themselves, and they didn't know how it would end.
Zeng Fan thought, the braised pork shop was not opened by him anyway, so if he just left, Manager Zhao would not be able to find him. If he ran away, Manager Zhao would be busy enough running the braised pork shop, so he probably wouldn't have time to look for him.
Anyway, I also took 10 taels of silver, which is almost the amount of silver I earned in these days. Roughly speaking, it is the % that belongs to me.
He thought that Manager Zhao would never be able to find him, so he went home and hid for a few days. Seeing that there was no movement, he felt relieved.
When he got home, he gave two taels of the ten taels of silver to his mother Feng, asking her to buy two pounds of meat and have a big meal.
Mrs. Feng had never seen a lot of money in her life. Suddenly, her son gave her one or two taels of silver, which scared the old couple.
"Fan, where did you get so much silver? Don't do anything bad!" Feng held the silver with a worried look on her face.
Farmers earn less than two taels of silver a year, and his youngest son has been working for so long, but he has never given them a single copper coin.
But now, for the first time ever, he gave them one or two taels of silver, which frightened them so much that they felt the silver was too hot to handle.
The old couple were both honest farmers and had three sons. The eldest and second sons had already started their own families, but the youngest son, Zeng Fan, was a cunning person and had been the cause of most worry since childhood.
"Oh my god~"
The eldest son's wife, Mei, narrowed her eyes with a smile and said, "Uncle San, if I ask you to buy meat, just go ahead. We haven't smelled meat in our house for a long time.
Look, Ping'er and his two kids are starving, but we can't let them starve, they are still growing."
"Yes, what the eldest sister-in-law said is right!" The daughter-in-law Liu also interrupted with a smile: "Uncle San, what have you been doing recently? You've made a fortune! If there is a good job, call your second brother!"
This brother-in-law used to be very stingy. I never saw a penny from him when he went out to work. Now he directly gave him one or two taels of silver, which was really unexpected.
"Haha~" Zeng Fan laughed and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are joking. I am also a clerk for others, how can I make money! I see that Ping'er and the others' clothes are torn, so I bought them a few feet of cloth to make them new clothes."
As he spoke, Zeng Fan gave several dozen coins to his eldest and second sisters-in-law each.
He knew that his elder and younger sisters-in-law had a lot of complaints about him, and he had been looked down upon by them many times in the past.
"Oh! Thank you so much, Uncle San!" Liu laughed.
"Old woman, hurry up and cut the meat!" said my father, the old man.
Seeing that her son was now sensible, Feng felt more relieved. She quickly went to the village butcher to cut two pounds of pork, and the family had a full meal.
After lunch, Zeng Fan picked his teeth and hummed a little tune, planning to find the girl he liked, Liu Hong, and ask her to marry him.
Liu Hong had said before that her father said he could marry her but asked for a dowry of five taels of silver, but she didn't have that much money at the time.
It’s different now. Now that he has money in his hands, he wants to get this done as soon as possible. Thinking of Liu Hong’s bulging breasts, Zeng Fan felt hot in his heart and he quickened his pace involuntarily.
After turning a corner, he suddenly ran into a wall of flesh. Zeng Fan was immediately frightened and raised his head to curse.
When Zeng Fan saw the person in front of him clearly, his face suddenly changed and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
The person standing opposite him was none other than Shopkeeper Zhao. Besides him, there were two tall and strong men with fierce looks on their faces, staring at him viciously.
Zeng Fan immediately felt cold from head to toe, and thought that Manager Zhao couldn't find him, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly.
"hey-hey……"
"Zeng Fan, you are in a good mood, but you messed up and hid back in your hometown, making it difficult for me to find you." Shopkeeper Zhao narrowed his eyes and said with gritted teeth.
He was so anxious at first that he was at a loss and didn't know where to find him. Fortunately, he later thought of looking for Wen, the owner of Zhang's stewed pork shop, thinking that she should know Zeng Fan's household registration.
Of course, the process was not so smooth. When he went to the house, he was met with sarcasm and ridicule from the Wen family. Finally, the Wen family gave in and agreed to check it for him.
Zeng Fan had left an address before, and Wen asked him to copy it.
Although he didn't know whether he could find him, Shopkeeper Zhao thought he had to give it a try anyway. He didn't dare to go alone, so he hired two people to give him courage.
I didn't expect that he actually found it.
"Manager Zhao, why are you here?" Zeng Fan spoke incoherently.
"Zeng Fan, you are so young, why do you have such a bad memory?" You two should teach him a lesson and let him think about it carefully.
The two men clenched their fists, made clattering sounds, and walked towards Zeng Fan.
"Hey, stop right there!" Zeng Fan was anxious, and hurriedly shouted to Shopkeeper Zhao, "Shopkeeper Zhao, I'm sorry, I messed up that thing, I can't buy the spices back, I'm too embarrassed to see you~"
"Oh, now I remember it!" Shopkeeper Zhao sneered, "Your few casual words have caused me to lose dozens of taels of silver.
But now that things have come to this, I consider myself unlucky and I don't want any more. Just give me back the 10 taels of silver and the matter will be written off." Shopkeeper Zhao didn't want to cause trouble either, he just wanted to get the 10 taels of silver back.
"Manager Zhao, we agreed at the beginning that the profit would be split 10% to %. These taels of silver are considered as my %!" Zeng Fan still wanted to hold on.
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but once he did, Manager Zhao was completely furious. He believed his lies and opened this shop, but in the end, he worked in vain, ruined his reputation, and also made enemies with several other managers.
"Beat him for me!" Shopkeeper Zhao gave an order, and the two men immediately beat Zeng Fan up.
This happened to be someone else's firewood room, with no one around. Zeng Fan complained bitterly, but a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Manager Zhao, stop it, I will return the silver to you!"
Shopkeeper Zhao raised his hand and the two men stopped immediately.
Zeng Fan tremblingly took out eight taels of silver from his inner garment and said with a sad face, "Manager Zhao, this is all I have. I have spent the rest."
"Humph~"
Shopkeeper Zhao snorted coldly: "You are sensible. Fine, the two taels of silver will be regarded as your wages. I will just regard it as the silver fed to the dog.
But don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you." After saying this, Shopkeeper Zhao left.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zeng Fan quickly got up, touched his swollen face, grimaced in pain, and turned around to walk home.
This matter must not be known to others. If it gets out, he will never be able to marry Liu Hong in the future.
