Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

Tao Zixing has not been going well recently, and he is also a little unwilling.He saw that after Zhang Chi came back, the Gu family's teahouse was booming, but the business of his teahouse plummeted.The number of guests who come every day is only half of what it used to be, and there is a tendency to continue to be deserted.He didn't understand that Zhang Chi no longer told stories, why did the guests still like to go to his place?

He secretly asked Zhang Qing and Si Tong to trouble Zhang Chi, but they failed. One went to jail, and the other was seriously injured.Seeing that these two people could no longer be used, he thought of making a move on his own, starting with Zhang Chi's children, but he didn't expect that the few people he managed to find couldn't even catch a child, and they were even ruined by Ding Guohou. Good thing happened.

He clenched his back molars tightly, thinking bitterly in his heart, Zhang Chi, what's so great about you having the support of Marquis Dingguo, can he stay in Gucheng forever?Wait until he's gone, and see if I don't deal with you!

But he didn't think that something happened to his teahouse before he cleaned up the house.

Before dawn, Tao Zixing was still asleep, when he heard someone knock on the door of his house.

He covered his head angrily, and then the housekeeper came to call him,

"Master, it's bad, the teahouse is on fire!"

"Huh? On fire? What's going on?"

Tao Zixing sat up abruptly, and put on his clothes in a panic. In the panic, he put on the wrong clothes and pants.

When he went out, he rushed to the teahouse in a hurry, half a street away, he saw thick black smoke coming from his own teahouse.

His heart sank and he quickened his pace.

When Tao Zixing arrived, the fire had already been extinguished, and the two waiters in the teahouse were all disheveled, their clothes were mostly wet, and they looked very embarrassed.Ding Pu was still holding a bucket in his hand, as if he had just put out a fire, and beside him was Chen Gui, who had a kettle beside him, which was the letter he sent home.

Tao Zixing looked at the teahouse again. Half of the window frames of the two windows were burned, and the tops of the doors and windows were blackened by smoke.

He strode forward, without saying a word, slapped Ding Pu abruptly, and said angrily, "What's going on? How could the teahouse catch fire?"

Covering his face, Ding Pu was stunned for a moment, then furious, and glared at Tao Zixing.

"Boss, we were almost burned to death in order to put out the fire. You didn't care about injustice, but beat people up! Tell you, I've had enough of you, I quit!"

After speaking, he lifted his legs and left.

Tao Zixing said angrily: "You want to leave? You think beautifully! Who will pay for the loss of my teahouse?"

Hearing what he said, Ding Pu was even more chilled. He had been with Tao Zixing for so many years, and he knew that he was not a good person, but he really didn't want to miss the past at all.

He stood still and said coldly: "Boss Tao, I wasn't on duty last night, the loss of your teahouse... Hehe, go to whoever you want!"

Tao Zixing shouted: "No one can leave until you make it clear!"

Ding Pu turned to Chen Gui and said, "Have you heard it all? Do you still want to follow such a boss?"

Chen Gui was still hesitating, but Ding Pu said helplessly, "If you don't go, I'll go!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Tao Zixing said angrily: "Okay, you go, see where you can go! Let me see which shop in Gucheng Town dares to ask you!"

Ding Pu snorted coldly, and left without looking back.

Seeing that Ding Pu had left, Tao Zixing couldn't vent his anger, grabbed Chen Gui who was coughing beside him, and shouted, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Chen Gui was caught, he didn't dare to resist, coughed heart-piercingly, and said: "Boss, I don't know either. I was on duty last night. In the middle of the night, the young master came. He was very drunk He thought it was cold in the room, so he asked me to light the stove, I lit a brazier for him, and went to sleep. In a daze, I heard Ding Pu say that there was a fire..."

Tao Zixing was startled, "Tao Yi is here? Where is he now?"

"do not know."

Tao Zixing pushed Chen Gui to the ground, and strode to the door of the teahouse.

He kicked open the door of the teahouse, half of the door on the left had been burned, how could it withstand this kick?Half of the door fell suddenly, almost hitting him.

The room smelled of burnt soot and was pitch black.Tao Zixing pushed the window hard, and the whole window even the frame fell to the ground.The light from outside came in unobstructed, and he took a rough look at the lobby.

The tables, chairs and benches were burnt to pieces, and several pieces of the ceiling were missing, exposing the dark roof.Fortunately, the roof was not burned, otherwise we could see the sun outside.

The morning wind was very cold, but Tao Zixing stood in the empty lobby, but he didn't seem to feel anything.

Suddenly, the door behind him opened, and Tao Yi went out, stunned by the scene in front of him, he yawned halfway and forced himself to hold back.

"Father? What's going on here? Where's Chen Gui? Chen Gui!"

Tao Zi walked two steps forward, getting close to Tao Yimin, and indeed he smelled a strong smell of alcohol on his body.

He snorted coldly, "did you drink last night?"

"Yeah. Had a drink. Dad, what's going on here?"

Tao Zixing interrupted him, "You asked Chen Gui to light the fire for you when you came back?"

"Yeah!" Tao Yi realized something was wrong, "I asked Chen Gui to light the fire for me, but Dad, I went to sleep only after watching the fire go out. The fire has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

"It doesn't matter?" Tao Zixing really wanted to slap him, but he raised his hand and put it down again. He only has this one son!

"Go home! Don't go anywhere without my permission!"

"I……"

Although Tao Yi was an idiot, he knew that Tao Zixing was angry at this moment, so he had better not provoke him.

He promised, glanced at the teahouse, and left without looking back.He was a little guilty, he couldn't remember whether he had extinguished the fire last night.

Although the culprit was his own son, how could Tao Zixing let his son take the blame?

He walked around the teahouse with a sullen face. The lobby was the most damaged. The warehouse, rest room, and utility room at the back were not affected much. Seeing the safe and sound tea in the warehouse, Tao Zixing heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately.

He walked out with a cold face, and said to Chen Gui: "Chen Gui, you didn't pay attention to the night watch, and caused such a big loss. This year's monthly money is gone, why don't you hurry up and clean it up? If you don't clean up today, you will Don't even think about going back!"

Seeing that Chen Gui was still in a daze, the housekeeper hurriedly said, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go to work?"

Chen Gui's mind went blank, only thinking about Tao Zixing's words just now.The monthly money for a year is gone.What can he do with this?There is also a six-year-old brother in his family. If he has no money for a year, what will he and his brother do?

He wanted to ask Tao Zixing, but he knew that Tao Zixing was a cold-hearted person, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

"Yu Yong, you asked him to tidy up the teahouse. I'll go to the carpenter right away and fix the doors and windows first."

Tao Zi left, leaving the housekeeper to watch Chen Gui work.

The butler has been with Tao Zixing for many years, with the same virtue as him, staring at Chen Gui, and never letting him idle for a moment.Chen Gui found the fire in the middle of the night, and didn't sleep much in the second half of the night. He was busy fighting the fire, and after working all morning, he was tired, sleepy and hungry.

He forced himself to stay up until noon, and said to the butler, "Butler Yu, I'm going home for dinner."

Butler Yu sneered: "You still want to eat before the work is done? Keep doing it!"

Butler Yu was tall and burly, with a stern face, Chen Gui dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.After persisting for another half an hour, he really couldn't open his eyes.When moving a chair, he dropped the chair on the ground and hit his foot with a "gudong".

Chen Gui let out an "Ai Ya", and sat on the ground with his feet folded.

Yu Yong stepped forward and gave him a kick, kicked him on the back, and scolded: "I know I'm lazy! Why don't you hurry up and work? The boss said that he can't finish it before he comes back. You look good!"

Chen Gui suddenly raised his head, "Didn't he deduct my monthly payment for a year? What else can I do?"

"You!" Yu Yong raised his arm and wanted to hit someone, but someone grabbed his arm and pinned it to his back.Although Yu Yong is just a housekeeper, he is used to being pampered. How can he have the strength of Ding Pu?

"Ding Pu, what do you want to do? Boss Tao knows and won't let you go!"

"Hehe, Boss Tao, I'm not afraid of him!

As soon as Ding Pu exerted his strength, Yu Yong begged for mercy with "ahhhhhhh".

Ding Pu said to Chen Gui: "Chen Gui, you already know what kind of virtue Tao Zixing is, why should you continue to give him? We are both young, we have hands and feet, we can earn money anywhere, why should we be bullied by them?" Woolen cloth?"

Chen Gui finally made up his mind, "Yes! Let's live the same way without here!"

Ding Pu was overjoyed and said, "Go get the rope!"

Chen Gui didn't know what he was going to do, but he was used to listening to him, so he honestly went to the back room and found a rope to get out.

Ding Pu tied Yu Yong tightly with a rope, and tore a piece of cloth from the front of his clothes to cover his mouth, and then he took Chen Gui and left the teahouse.

Yu Yong's arms and legs were tied, his mouth was gagged, and he could only watch the two leave helplessly.He only heard Chen Gui ask: "Brother Ding, where are we going?"

"Let's go to Aunt Wang's house to bring Xiaofu back, and we'll go together."

The two walked away, and Yu Yong couldn't hear anything.

When Tao Zixing came back and saw Yu Yong's miserable state, he was even more angry.

"Ding Pu, Chen Gui, let me see where you can escape! Yu Yong, go and check, I don't believe they can leave this Gucheng town!"

But, they really left!

Yu Yong didn't dare to say what Ding Pu said to Chen Gui, so he could only nod in agreement.

Tao Zixing was full of anger, and went home to look for Tao Yi, but Tao Yi was not at home at all.

He was even more furious, and said angrily: "He's not at home? Where did he go fooling around?"

Mrs. Tao was not easy to get along with, not to be outdone, she said: "Is there a father who you say that about your son? Tao Yi is so old, he naturally has his own friends..."

"Friend? Friends? What else does he know besides eating, drinking and having fun all day long? Do you know how our teahouse has been harmed by him?"

Only then did Mrs. Tao remember that someone had knocked on the door this morning, saying that the teahouse was on fire.

"Master, how is the teahouse?"

Tao Zixing's face was ashen, and he snorted coldly, "Isn't that good son of yours doing something good? He got drunk and let the fire of the brazier burn up. Now, the teahouse will cost a lot of money just to renovate. This year I'm afraid it was for nothing!"

"Is it so serious?" Mrs. Tao also changed her face, and tried to excuse her son, "Although Tao Yi is not very motivated, he will not be so disrespectful. Even if he is drunk, he will not light a fire in a teahouse .Master, did you make a mistake? Will someone frame Yi'er?"

"Who framed him? The guys said he insisted on lighting the brazier!"

"That's not necessarily true! Maybe the buddy lost his temper and it's because of Yi'er."

After Tao Zixing heard his wife's words, he suddenly thought of Ding Pu and Chen Gui who had resigned suddenly. Could it be that the two of them lost their temper and relied on Tao Yi?Otherwise, how could the two of them run away resolutely?Don't even wait for Gucheng Town?Could there be someone else behind the two of them?Who is this other person?

Is it...

Tao Zixing had a guess in his heart, and his eyes became dark.

On this day, Sun Zheng came to the store and excitedly said to Zhang Chi: "Zhang Chi, there was a fire in the Pinming Room last night. Oh, it was so badly burned that the whole lobby was going to be redecorated. I see, there is no two They couldn't open for three months. Great! Our business will definitely be better."

Zhang Chi knocked on his head, and said seriously: "Sun Zheng, we each rely on our own ability to do business, but we can't rely on something from other people's teahouses to make the business better. This kind of prosperity is just a false prosperity, and it won't last long. Yes. Only by improving the attractiveness of teahouses is a serious business model.”

Sun Zheng touched his head and laughed.

"Zhang Chi, why can't I understand what you're saying?"

Zhang Chi tapped his head again, "I mean, we just need to make our teahouse well, don't gloat."

"Oh." Sun Zheng nodded, "You're right. I'm going to boil the water now!"

Seeing that Sun Zheng had gone to the backyard, Yan Xi went to Zhang Chi and said, "Brother Zhang, I, I have something to tell you."

Although Yan Xi is young and still a girl, she does things calmly and carefully. Zhang Chi likes her very much.

"Why are you so hesitant? We are all a family. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Yan Xi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Brother Zhang, now that Brother Sun is married, Xiaochen and I still live with him, which is a little inconvenient. I would like to ask you to help me find a house, it doesn't need to be too big, as long as there is a room."

Zhang Chi rubbed his chin, "Well. What you're thinking about. Sun Zheng's family is not big, and they're married. It's really not suitable for you to live there. But, if you want to rent a house, you don't need to spend money or Safety."

Yan Xi hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will work hard, one or two people won't bully me."

"That being said, I'm still worried about the two of you living alone. Or, you will live upstairs? There are bedrooms upstairs and a place to cook... That's it. You live here, just as a gift for you. I went to the store."

"How does this work?"

Yan Xi went upstairs and knew that room was the bedroom of Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe.

"Why not? Listen to me, you will move here tonight!"
