Quick Wear: Crazy Criticism of Villains Asking for Stickers

The reason why Chen Yuanzheng was able to get the county magistrate to do what he wanted was because of Chen Yuanshan.

When a plague broke out a few years ago, the original county magistrate was transferred away. County Magistrate Hao was a disciple of Chen Yuanshan's teacher when he was young. He was recommended by the prefect to take over the affairs of Tongling County.

Although Chen Yuanshan and Senior Brother Hao had only met a few times and were not very familiar with each other, they were from the same school after all, so he could really help out if anything happened.

The siblings next door probably didn't realize that they only had an uncle who was a constable, but Chen Yuanzheng knew the county magistrate and the prefect, and was also the eldest brother of this year's top scholar!

They can't win in a fight of force, let alone connections.

The two men were extremely arrogant on weekdays. They used their ruthless means to drive away many nearby shop owners, and then threatened them with the title of uncle constable, so no one dared to report to the police.

This time I accidentally hit a wall and can only swallow my anger.

Not only did the two of them face high compensation, but they and their uncle were also kicked out of the county government, and the whole family had a hard time.

Without a backer, those who had been bullied by them began to beat drums to protest their grievances and asked the county magistrate to seek justice for them.

There were also the parents of the man’s two wives. Due to the intimidation from the constables, they did not dare to seek justice for their dead daughter, especially the second family, who lived in a remote village and were not familiar with the affairs of the county.

When arranging marriage, she was deceived by the matchmaker and the man. After her daughter died, they were very angry, but they could do nothing about him.

Now the two families cried and went to the county government office together, suing the brother and sister, demanding that they pay with their lives for the murder.

Magistrate Hao felt that things were developing somewhat out of control. He came out to support his junior fellow's elder brother, so how could he uncover a series of problems?

This made him realize that his governance of Tongling County was not very good and that there were serious problems. He had to make changes as soon as possible.

First of all, the brother and sister committed too many crimes, so the county magistrate threw them into prison and sentenced them to be executed in the autumn.

Afterwards, County Magistrate Hao conducted a major cleanup inside the county government office.

All cases of individuals or their relatives and friends using their power to oppress the people will be dealt with, and those who should be fined will be fined, and those who should be imprisoned will be imprisoned.

After two months of rectification, Tongling County has become much quieter.

Chen's Malatang is quite popular during this period, with more and more people coming to eat there.

When something becomes popular, there will be many imitators. It is similar to the internet-famous foods of later generations. It spreads far and wide and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie. More and more spicy hot pot shops appear in the county town, and some even open in the provincial capital.

Chen's Malatang has someone backing it up, so outsiders can only abide by the rules, compete peacefully, and not do anything tricky.

One store after another opened, but unfortunately the taste could never compare to the store opened by Li Qing.

Even if we start a price war, we will only take away some customers. Chen's Malatang is so delicious, and there are still many people who are loyal fans of the shop, so there is no need to panic.

When faced with the issue of competition, Li Qing said that it didn't matter. He couldn't be the only one making money, and if he didn't let others get some of the profits, and if he diverted some customers away, it would also help alleviate the pressure caused by too much customer flow to the small shop.

Chen Yuanzheng was a little anxious, jumping up and down in a hurry.

Li Qing glanced at Chen Yuanzheng who was lying on the beam and sighing: "..." This is in the store, aren't you afraid of scaring people by lying on the ceiling like this?

Unexpectedly, the diners in the restaurant were not scared at all. Instead, they cheered and marveled at the fact that Boss Chen’s martial arts had improved further!

Taking advantage of the academy's lunch break, Chen Tian and his sons came to the store to help: "..." What a novel way to attract customers.

During lunch time, the number of customers in the store continued to increase. Li Qing, who was calculating on an abacus behind the counter, raised her head and called her silly husband down:

"Just be quiet for a while, business is going well, there's nothing to worry about!"

Chen Yuanzheng held his hand with a silly smile: "I'm afraid Qingqing will be anxious, so I'll put on a show for you."

"Brother!?"

Chen Yuanzheng was just about to kiss his husband when no one was paying attention when a cry of surprise came from behind him. "Huh, who is it?"

Li Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw his half-sister.

Li Xiaoru's clothes were made of fine cotton cloth, she had a bun on her head and wore a silver hairpin. Next to her was a middle-aged man in his forties holding her hand, who seemed to be her husband.

Li Xiaoru looked at Li Qing in shock. When fleeing from famine, her elder brother was abandoned by her parents.

The family thought he had died long ago, but unexpectedly, the eldest brother was still alive and seemed to be the owner of this store.

Li Qing broke free from Chen Yuanzheng's arm that was fastened around his waist, stood up straight, nodded politely at Li Xiaoru, not knowing what to say first.

The original owner was not familiar with this sister, and Li Qing was even less familiar with her.

In the past, the original owner was the lowest-level cattle and horses in the Li family, and Li Xiaoru was a "cash machine" one level higher than the cattle and horses.

As far as I can remember, Li Xiaoru was sent to the city to learn embroidery when she was young, and after she had learned enough, she started "working" at home.

She lived in a thatched hut that could shelter her from the wind and rain, could only eat half full at every meal, and then did embroidery work from morning to night without stopping. However, none of the money she earned went into her hands, and all was used to support her younger brother's education.

This sister has always been taciturn and the original owner seldom listened to her.

The people in the family who loved to beat and scold the original owner the most were his parents and younger brother. Li Xiaoru would not bully him, but under the pressure from her mother, she did not dare to communicate with him much.

One day, Li Xiaoru threw a bottle of medicine to the original owner. It was an ointment that she had secretly saved money for several years under her mother's nose to buy.

This little action was discovered by the stepmother, and the original owner was beaten again, thinking that Li Xiaoru was deliberately making trouble for him.

The brother and sister live in the same house and get along like strangers.

Li Xiaoru saw her elder brother whom she hadn't seen for many years. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to start. The man next to her looked left and right and asked: "Do you know each other?"

The two hesitated for a moment and nodded in unison.

In fact, there is no difference between them knowing each other and not knowing each other. They have spoken less than fifty sentences from birth to now.

The brother and sister developed an inexplicable tacit understanding. The next second after nodding, they whispered to their husbands next to them to introduce each other's identities.

Chen Yuanzheng knew that Qingqing had a hard time when she was young, and she was never kind to his family, rolling her eyes so much that her eyes almost fainted.

Li Xiaoru's husband is the accountant of a restaurant in the next county.

Because of his tact and eloquence, he was sent to Tongling County by his family's manager to observe Chen's Malatang and see if he could increase the income of their restaurant.

Knowing that his wife and Boss Li were siblings, Liu Kuan started chatting with the couple very familiarly, completely ignoring Chen Yuanzheng's cold face.

Chatting in the hall disturbed others from showing off their fans, so Li Qing took her step-sister and brother-in-law to the backyard.

The matter of collecting money was temporarily handed over to the waiter. The newly hired waiter was the eldest son of the Chen clan leader. He was honest and straightforward, had a good character and was trustworthy.

Chen Yuanzheng pulled out a stool for his husband, and the four of them sat in the utility room at the back to talk.

Liu Kuan and Chen Yuanzheng were playing Tai Chi with each other. Li Qing learned about the current situation of his father and stepmother from Li Xiaoru.

When fleeing famine, their stepmother was too domineering and their family was driven out of the village. It was too dangerous to travel alone, so Li's father took out most of the food and traveled with another group of unfamiliar refugees.

Fortunately, those people were kind and did not hurt them.

When they fled to Tongzhou, an imperial decree came from above, ordering the Li family to stop and settle in a remote mountain village in the next county.

After settling down in the village, Li Xiaoru continued to be an emotionless embroiderer, doing embroidery to help her family build a house, buy good farmland, and support her younger brother to go to school...

Seeing that their family's life was improving, several other refugee families in the village felt jealous.

As a result, Li's father was seduced into gambling addiction, and Li Xiaoru sold all the house and land that she had embroidered with great effort.

Everything that could be sold at home was sold, and in the end, Li Xiaoru was sold to a brothel by her father.

Li Xiaoru refused to obey and knelt on the ground begging her parents, saying that she would rather embroider handkerchiefs for 12 hours a day, even if it would blind her eyes. She was willing to help pay off the family's debts, just asking them not to sell her to that kind of place.

The gambling-mad man didn't listen at all. He took the money and let her be taken away.

On the night that Li Xiaoru entered the brothel, she was beaten all over by the madam but she still refused to receive any customers. She struggled to escape through the back door. Liu Kuan happened to pass by and saved her out of pity.

Liu Kuan lost his wife at an early age and had two sons at home with no one to take care of them, so he bought Li Xiaoru home to take care of his sons.

In order to prevent the Li family from causing trouble, Liu Kuan seldom let her go out.
