Chapter 113:
Luo Zhi’er came out and of course immediately delivered the Termite Mushroom Oil.
This was a big deal in the Village, but she had no time to care about the Villagers’ Gossip.
At the Village Entrance under the big tree, Zhao Xiaomei saw her and Miaomiao returning, reacting like she had seen a ghost, not expecting her to get out of Prison so quickly.
When she returned, she happened to see her discussing with Zhao Er’s Wife and some other wives the matter of Old Li Family being arrested.
“They offended that Buyi Workshop in Jiangnan!”
“Probably going to be beheaded!”
There were talks of beheading, serving a life sentence, Confiscation of Property, everything!
They spoke with saliva flying everywhere, with relish!
A young wife from Li Family’s household even hoped that even if they came out in the future, Old Li Family would quickly move out of the Village.
They were discussing going together to Li Zhengxin’s home to talk about it later.
She was afraid it would affect her child’s future Reputation…
But no need to think, someone must have already run over to suggest it!
Zhao Xiaomei, to prove her own family’s innocence and avoid rebuke from the Villagers, naturally joined them in rejecting Old Li Family’s people…
She spoke more enthusiastically than the others! Discussing how to drive them out when they returned to the Village!
“You… how did you come back?”
Zhao Xiaomei said in surprise.
“Exactly, what is Old Li Family’s people coming back for?”
“This is our home, we didn’t commit any crime, once investigated clearly we were naturally released!”
As for the others’ idle gossip and pointing fingers, she ignored them, took Miaomiao’s hand and went home, leaving them with two resolute backs.
One big chubby back!
One small slightly chubby back!
At home, Luo Zhi’er cleaned herself and Miaomiao thoroughly, single-mindedly thinking of hurrying to the Town to make Delivery, when Li Zhengsen ran over to ask about Old Li Tou and their situation…
Luo Zhi’er was in the Kitchen picking Mushrooms, asking was pointless, “Second Uncle, it’s the shop of Miaomiao’s Second Uncle’s father-in-law that sold fake goods, Second Brother led it, we Old Li Family got implicated, I don’t know specifically when they will come out!”
“Then how come you…”
Only the mother and daughter were released?
Luo Zhi’er said flatly: “Because it was found out that it had no Relationship with me and Miaomiao, no Relationship naturally means released.”
“As for Parents and San Mao, they should be released once their review is clear, it’s just a matter of time!”
“Oh, like that, then you go ahead with your work!”
Li Zhengsen saw her lowering her head normally busy, sitting there steady as a rock, no odd color, no thought of running away!
Back home, he told Zhao Xiaomei not to join others in the Village to spread rumors indiscriminately, Oldest Brother’s family should be fine…
Li Zhengxin heard the news and immediately came over to ask about the situation!
The matter came suddenly, what exactly was the Reason for being arrested, after all the Village rumors had everything, he could hardly suppress them!
Plus, Villagers who went to Market Day in the Town came back saying Chen Ji was Sealed up, roughly all saying it was Li Lei who did something!
Because those bailiffs with knives came and immediately asked for Li Lei, last night they were still in the Village visiting and investigating the Villagers.
They stayed longer at his home, asking if anyone in the Village was pulled into doing this Business, if anyone was cheated out of silver…
Causing everyone to be panic-stricken, all from the same Village, related by blood and marriage, committed a crime!
This morning he asked around the Village, luckily no one, now seeing Luo Zhi’er back gave him a calming pill.
As long as it doesn’t implicate people in the Village, he wouldn’t say anything.
After all, Old Li Family are native people of Zhao Li Village, didn’t do anything heinous, when trouble comes not helping is one thing, but where to drive them?
Luo Zhi’er still said if no Relationship, they would be released, “Li Shu, the guilty has a head, the debt has an owner, whatever Li Lei did he bears himself.”
Li Zhengxin nodded and went back, if really implicated and given heavy sentence, affecting Li Shi’s Reputation he certainly wouldn’t be soft-hearted.
The Village’s Oak Bean Business is temporarily not collecting because her family members are still in the Prefectural Yamen Prison!
Old Lady Zhao also came leaning on her crutch, saw the mother and daughter fine, inquired about Li Sanmao, then left relieved…
“Old Lady Zhao, it just rained, the road is slippery, walk slowly!”
“Hey!”
In this Village, only Old Lady Zhao purely and sincerely cared about her!
Fried the Termite Mushroom Oil well, took Miaomiao and hurried to Yumian Tower.
As soon as arriving at Yumian Tower, first invited to the Kitchen to help Chef Xie check his Acorn cool jelly recipe.
Miaomiao was watched by Chang Qing…
Busy all morning, also helped the two chefs check the details of those big dishes’ recipes from last time…
After finishing the work, then met Shopkeeper Zhu, Shopkeeper Zhu was busy as a bee, still occasionally going over to tease Miaomiao.
He had no granddaughter at home, seeing Miaomiao so well-behaved, he liked her very much!
As she expected, the preferential treatment in the Prison Cell was again Shopkeeper Zhu lending a hand.
“Shopkeeper Zhu, really too grateful to you, really don’t know what to say?”
Shopkeeper Zhu saw although she was locked up one night, her complexion was still good, and she delivered the Things…
“Luo Niangzi is too polite, this matter was our Master’s intention, I am just a runner.”
“What? The Owner?”
Luo Zhi’er thought, speaking of which she had never even seen the Owner behind Yumian Tower once!
She thought a small figure like her wasn’t in their eyes, didn’t expect he even knew this?
Thinking again, yes, her going to Prison did bring risk to Yumian Tower.
This Owner helping her must be worried about his Restaurant being pulled in.
But, she wasn’t any big Business Partner, he had never seen her, why help her?
Not terminating the contract to distance themselves was already good!
Must be Shopkeeper Zhu speaking good words!
“Really sorry, the matter came suddenly, hope not to bring Trouble to Yumian Tower!”
“Hehe, Luo Niangzi is overthinking, you also know our contract is secret, no impact at all.”
“Rather, troubled you to come early in the morning to help us solve the problem…”
“Hehe, no big deal, this is what I should do.”
This Luo Zhi’er of course knew, the necessary Politeness still had to be there.
“However, our Master came to the Restaurant today, Luo Niangzi can go see him!”
Shopkeeper Zhu said.
“Good!”
Luo Zhi’er agreed without thinking, she also wanted to see what kind of person Yumian Tower’s Boss was?
“Actually, Master also wants to see you! Come with me!”
Turned around, about to lead the way.
Luo Zhi’er smelled her own Sleeve’s Taste,
“Hehe, Shopkeeper Zhu, where is your Washroom, look at me rushing on the road early in the morning, then bustling in the Kitchen, got all dirty and dusty, wouldn’t be good to offend your Owner!”
Shopkeeper Zhu was stunned, saw her hair indeed messy.
Her pant legs also stained with mud, wet at the ankles, smiled, “It’s my lack of thought, then Luo Niangzi come with me to the Washroom first.”
She went into the Washroom, tidied her hair, washed her face, Tidy Up her Clothes…
Looked at the big Bronze Mirror on the wall, a round face in the mirror, smiling friendly at her.
Felt clean and no problem, then went with Shopkeeper Zhu to the inner room.
Shopkeeper Zhu stood at the door, politely said: “Master, Luo Niangzi is here.”
A clear, magnetic man’s voice sounded: “Mm, let her in, close the door.”
Without any warmth, sounded quite young…
“Yes.”
