The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Everyone in Mojia Village is busy and orderly. The output of the wine workshop is increasing, and the houses are being built rapidly. It is expected to be completed within half a month.

Fu Yunxi's hot pot restaurant is also under intensive preparation. The gold-plated "Xiang Man Guo" sign has been hung outside the restaurant, wrapped in red silk cloth, waiting to be unveiled when it opens the next day!

The women from the Mu, Wang and Chen families were all helping out in the hot pot restaurant. Forty copper pots had just been retrieved from the blacksmith shop. The Fourth Aunt, Qi Hongying and others were preparing food in the kitchen, all preparing for the opening.

"Boss, something bad has happened at Yipinxian Restaurant!"

While everyone was busy, the waiter from Yipinxian Restaurant came to the hot pot restaurant.

"What's the matter?"

Fu Yunxi was quite puzzled. Yipinxian Restaurant was doing a booming business, so how could something go wrong?

"Boss Fu, please go and have a look! A lady and her son are making trouble at the entrance of the restaurant. They said that their son had vomiting and diarrhea after drinking our milk tea. They insisted that it was food poisoning and refused to listen to any explanation. The shopkeeper saw that you were also in town, so he asked me to invite you to go over and have a look."

The waiter told the whole story. Now the entrance of Yipinxian Restaurant was surrounded by people, and many people were watching.

Some people claim that they drank milk tea many times without any abnormalities and that it tasted good. Others claim that drinking milk tea can indeed cause stomach upset, but because the amount consumed was small and the symptoms were not serious, they did not take it seriously. Now they think there may be a problem.

In short, there are many different opinions, and more and more people are joining in!

"It shouldn't be like this. Our wine workshop has no problems with food hygiene and preservation."

Luo had previously gone to the factory to look for Fu Yunxi and took the opportunity to tour the factory. Its scale was no different from that of a regular workshop, the workers all wore masks, the tools were cleaned daily, and the sanitary conditions were good, so food poisoning should not have occurred.

"Yes! Could it be that someone deliberately caused trouble or ate other food by mistake?"

Aunt Jiang also firmly believes in the quality of milk tea.

"Don't worry, I'll go check it out first. I'll come back later if there's any news."

Fu Yunxi was also unable to determine whether this was a deliberate frame-up or a misunderstanding, so she had to go to the scene to check the situation first.

"Okay, be careful. There are a lot of people over there. No matter what happens, you must ensure your own safety first."

"Yunxi, let me go with you." The fourth aunt was worried that Fu Yunxi would be alone, so she suggested going with her.

"Okay." Fu Yunxi did not refuse and took the fourth aunt and Brother Mu with her.

Today, Mu Yibai and the men stayed at home to build a house. Ever since the day someone in Lijia Village peeped into the factory, Mu Yibai has been inseparable from Fu Yunxi. If she has important matters to attend to, he will arrange for Brother Mu to follow her and will never let her go out alone.

"You have to give us an explanation! My son has food poisoning, you are acting like a dishonest businessman!"

Fu Yunxi and others struggled to squeeze through the layers of people to the innermost layer, where they saw a woman holding a boy about ten years old, sitting on the ground crying. The boy was still conscious but a little weak.

"It's not that we don't want to explain to you. We can't be sure at the moment that your son got food poisoning from drinking the milk tea in our restaurant. You didn't dine in our restaurant either. You just said you bought milk tea to drink. So, is there any milk tea left?"

The owner of Yipinxian Restaurant was talking to the woman at the door. He didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter, but if he admitted to the false accusation, the reputation of his milk tea would be greatly affected. He had to get to the bottom of it.

"Of course there is none left. We bought milk tea just to drink it, and we got sick after drinking it. You still want me to produce evidence. Aren't you just refusing to admit your guilt?"

The woman was firm in her attitude. She said that her family was poor and she bought some for her son to try because he was greedy. She didn't expect that it would cause food poisoning, and the restaurant owner refused to admit it.

"I'm not denying it. We've been selling milk tea for many days and there has never been a food poisoning incident. Since you can't produce any evidence, even if you take the case to the government, we're still right."

"Boss, Mr. Fu is here." Seeing that everyone was silent, the waiter hurried forward to report to the boss.

"Oh, Boss Fu, you're finally here. This lady said her son got food poisoning after drinking the milk tea in our store, but she can't provide any evidence. What do you think we should do?"

When the shopkeeper saw Fu Yunxi, it was like seeing a savior. If the milk tea shop’s reputation was ruined today, the interests of both Mojia Village and Baifu Restaurant would be damaged.

"Madam, I am the owner of the Mojia Village Beverage Workshop that produces milk tea. You said that you bought the milk tea at Yipinxian Restaurant. Do you still have the jar?" Seeing that the boy was fine, Fu Yunxi asked the woman first.

"I don't have a jar. My husband bought milk tea here in a basin. We are poor and can only buy a little for the children to satisfy their cravings."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the shopkeeper and the waiter were both stunned. When had their Yipinxian Restaurant ever sold bulk milk tea?

"Madam, please wait a moment. Are you sure your husband bought the milk tea from our Yipinxian Restaurant?"

Our milk tea is served in special jars with the Mojiacun sign and seal on them.

We put all the food in jars for customers who come to buy it. How could your husband say there are no jars?"

The shopkeeper was a little helpless, as he still hadn't figured out where the item was bought after half a day!

"My husband explicitly said he bought it at your house, there's no way that's wrong."

The woman insisted that it was Yipinxian Restaurant.

"That's not right! I remember every time I came here to buy it, there was a jar."

"Yes, when I eat in the restaurant, it is a big jar, and when I buy it back home, there are also small jars."

“That’s right, I’ve never bought them in bulk.”

"..."

The onlookers began to talk about it again.

But this time they all said that the milk tea sold at Yipinxian Restaurant all had the jar and Sujiacun signs,

Now the woman was a little anxious.

"Dad, come here quickly and tell me if you bought it here!"

The woman looked around and finally saw her husband who dared not show up in the crowd, so she called him over to confront him.

"I--"

The woman's husband hesitated and dared not speak.

"Shopkeeper, I don't have much impression of this person."

The town is neither small nor big, and the waiters are mostly familiar with the faces of customers who come to buy things, but he seems to have never seen this person before.

"Speak up! Your son has food poisoning, why are you still standing there like an idiot?"

The woman was also very angry with her husband. Not only was he incapable of making money, he also liked to play cards. He had high expectations but poor skills, and always dreamed of getting something for nothing. She was the one who took care of all the household affairs.

"I didn't buy it at Yipinxian Restaurant, but at a small stall at the entrance of the town. The price there was low, only twelve cents per pound. I thought they were both milk teas, so there was no difference, so I bought it there."

Under pressure from the onlookers and Fu Yunxi and others, the man had no choice but to tell the truth.

"You! Then why did you lie to me and say that I bought the milk tea at Yipinxian Restaurant? You watched my mother and I quarreling here for a long time without showing up. Can you still be considered a man? You only think about yourself all day long. Your son wanted to drink milk tea, so you caused him food poisoning for a few cents?"

The woman cried at the top of her lungs, even more violently than when she had just quarreled with the shopkeeper. She had to try to earn money and do housework every day, and she was really exhausted. But who made her marry such a man!
