117 Jealous
After doing business for so many years, Manager He had learned a principle: never overestimate a person’s kindness.
Don’t think that just because those nobles were famous for their philanthropy, they could really support the ship.
Sometimes, the more well-regarded such people were, the more they would not allow their subordinates to make mistakes.
Moreover, this was not an ordinary snack. Minister Qi had asked for it. Perhaps his mother liked it. Would it be fine if it was missing from the birthday banquet?
!!
Manager He asked, “How many days are left until the birthday banquet?”
The accountant said, “Three days.”
Manager He’s face darkened. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
If he had said so earlier, he would have endured the siblings for the time being!
The accountant thought to himself that this was something that he had instructed before the new year. The kitchen remembered it and would do it on the day. There was no need for Manager He to worry!
However, who would have thought that on his first day in office, he would offend the siblings who were supplying them?
Over the years, disregarding whether Manager Sun’s methods were honorable or not, his management was well done, and the entire Jin Ji was well managed.
It was purely Manager He’s fault.
Manager He asked with a headache, “How many of the salted egg yolks are left?”
The accountant braced himself and said, “There’s not a single one left.”
Manager He said coldly, “Didn’t they just provide the goods?”
The accountant said helplessly, “They supplied a hundred and we finished it long ago! The chefs tried two and sold the rest yesterday. There were guests today who came to ask why the egg yolk pastry was gone.”
Manager He was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table!
….
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know that her sanction, which she thought wouldn’t create a dent, had coincidentally pressed down on Jin Ji’s throat.
She was counting her things in the small basket.
She patted her forehead. “I forgot to send the red dates and silver ear fungus I brought back from Aunt Fu yesterday to Su Yuniang!”
“Dad! Ergou! Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu! I’m going out for a while!”
In the central room, Wei Ting, the only one who was not addressed, had a dark expression.
It was especially lively at the Su family today. The Zheng family of Shallow Water Village had come. It was Su Yuniang’s husband, Zheng Yuanbo, and her eldest sister-in-law, Zheng Lanxiu.
There were more or less some rumors in the village about Su Yuniang giving birth to a child in her maiden family for the new year. Because villagers remembered the Su family’s past kindness, they did not go overboard in their gossip, but no one knew what they were thinking.
The Su family’s door was open, and Su Xiaoxiao walked in.
The central room was empty, and there was no one there. However, the conversation kept coming from Su Yuniang’s room.
“…Yu Niang, your child has been born. The New Year is over. It’s time to go back.”
Su Xiaoxiao had some impression of this voice. It should be from Su Yuniang’s eldest sister-in-law, Zheng Lanxiu.
“You’ve been away from home for a while and Brother Xing misses you badly, right, Brother Xing?”
“Ah, yes, yes! Yu Niang, come back with me!”
“If you want me to go back with you, get rid of that bitch first!”
Bitch?
She seemed to have heard something extraordinary.
Su Xiaoxiao continued to prick up her ears.
It would be a waste not to listen to the gossip that she had chanced upon!
Zheng Lanxiu said earnestly, “Yuniang, listen to Eldest Sister’s truth. Brother Xing doesn’t have anyone else in his heart. He took her in because he saw that she was pitiful. Who would have thought that she would seduce Brother Xing… Brother Xing was confused for a moment and regretted it after that. Brother Xing wanted to send her away, but she became pregnant… The two elders at home didn’t agree, so he kept her for the time being.”
“But don’t worry, Brother Xing is sincere with you. You’re Brother Xing’s legitimate wife. No one can surpass you! When the child is born in the future, it will be under your name and she will be sent away immediately!”
