Chapter 59 Nameless Dining Hall (9)

A live person like Xu Zijun fell on the ground in front of the shop entrance. Not only was Li Yannian shocked, even the customers eating in the shop were shocked.

"What's wrong with this person? How did he fall down just like that? "

"She probably fainted from hunger. This beggar must know how to find a place to faint. The little girl will definitely be soft-hearted after seeing this and will definitely be fed when she wakes up."

"Tsk, you know how to calculate. Why don't you go and set up a stall in the Heaven's End and tell us your fortune?"

Li Yannian squeezed her way through the crowd of people with much difficulty and patted Xu Zijun a few times. However, no one responded, they anxiously raised their heads, wanting to call Da Bao and Black Bean over to see what exactly happened.

Qi Laosan could not watch any longer, all the people who were watching the commotion squeezed over, and touched Xu Zijun's neck veins, feeling as if they were not dirty. When the obvious thumping sound came from under his fingers, he finally had a plan. This person was just like everyone else had said, he had fainted from hunger.

"It's nothing, Red Bean, do you have rice soup in the kitchen? He brought a bowl over and fed it. There was nothing wrong with being hungry. If I pinch a person, he will wake up. "

The Qi Laosan said, while using his fingers to pinch Xu Zijun's body, in a matter of two or three seconds, he finally woke up.

It was just that Xu Zijun didn't know how to be grateful, when he opened his eyes, it was as if he was grabbing towards her neck.

"Hey, what's the matter with you asking for food?" "Lady Ren wanted to save you out of kindness, but you actually dared to hit a little girl the moment you woke up? Did you feed your conscience to a dog?" Qi Laosan was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, he had never seen anyone lose their mind like this.

Xu Zijun was only a weak scholar, and had suffered for so many days. If he were to go all out, how could he win against the Qi Laosan? However, he was not angry in his heart, and used the last bit of strength he had to curse at Li Yannian: "Is she kind? She caused my family to die, and she has fallen to this day! If she was kind, would there be any good people in the world? "

Li Yannian was completely confused by her scolding, "When did I destroy your family? You have to be reasonable, don't you? "

A group of spectators also chimed in, "Your asking for food really makes no sense. She's just a little girl, you can't carry her hand on your shoulder, what kind of evil can she do?"

"Exactly! We brothers eat in people's shops every day, so busy that we don't even have the time to turn around, how can we have the heart to harm you? You have to find the right person to beg for food! "

Everyone started to talk back and forth again, treating Xu Zijun as a scammer who wanted to bully a little girl.

The pitiful Xu Zijun, who was already extremely weak, lost consciousness again after being scolded by everyone.

The Qi Laosan then said, "Don't help those with evil intentions. Throw them into a corner and let them fend for themselves."

Everyone said that it was true, Li Yannian was afraid that they would throw him out and she quickly stopped them: "I really know him, and there's still some misunderstanding in the middle. I'll hurt him later, and I won't be able to explain it clearly. Brothers, for my sake, drag him to Back Chef. When he wakes up, I will slowly tell him. "

Qi Laosan asked worriedly: "Are you really going to drag him into the store? Aren't you afraid that someone will wake up and cause trouble? "

Black Bean squeezed forward in time and said, "It's fine, I'm here to watch. If it really gets out of hand, don't you guys still have a chance?

After everyone heard the siblings say this, they finally agreed to help and sent Xu Zijun to the Back Chef's room.

Li Yannian and Black Bean stayed behind, and Aunt Zhang went to help them, but they were not at ease with them, and the big bag that came with them was also pushed out by the two siblings, closing the door, allowing Black Bean to imitate Qi Laosan's actions, and wake Xu Zijun up according to the crowd.

"It's you again!" Xu Zijun fainted twice consecutively, but this time, he clenched his teeth and glared at Li Yannian, but he really did not have the strength to fight.

"Alright, I know you hate me now, but let's talk about the situation later. Drink this bowl of rice soup first. If you want to curse and settle the score, you'll need to grow strength in your stomach first."

Li Yannian guessed that the reason for Xu Zijun's current state was probably because of the pepper that he had sold to Yue Yang. Could it be that the quality of the pepper that he bought on the system was too low, that when Xu Zijun switched hands, he offended the buyer and was tricked by the rich and powerful buyer?

While she was thinking about all sorts of possibilities, Xu Zijun was still able to listen to what others were saying. He took the bowl of rice soup and gulped it down in one gulp.

The warm rice soup tasted fragrant and sweet. He licked the side of the bowl hungrily until he was sure that the last drop of rice soup had entered his stomach. Only then did he reluctantly put the bowl down.

Black Bean frowned and urged: "Are you full? "Tell me about your situation. How did my little sister cause your family to fall and everyone to die?"

Xu Zijun snorted coldly, and then told the two siblings about his misfortune after returning to his hometown.

After hearing his words, Li Yannian, who was full of dog blood, only saw four big words written in front of him: There's too much to say! This was clearly because of that sinister little fellow Liu Yungui who harmed him from beginning to end, but Xu Zijun, on the other hand, had to remember her and not find trouble with Liu Yungui!

"Hehe, Xu Zijun, Xu Zijun,, you have really given you scholars face. Ask yourself, is it really my fault that your family business collapsed and your wife ran away? Why didn't you say that you had schemed against your Liu Yungui and despised your father-in-law? Your wife has good eyes. She knew that you weren't the best person for the rest of your life and thus was willing to listen to your father-in-law's words and obediently follow him to Yuhang. A smart girl like your wife, and with such a family background, even if she were married off, there are still many people who want it. I'm so happy for her that I won't have to face a loser for the rest of my life who only knows how to complain and never look at himself. "

"You! "You …" Xu Zijun was so angry that his eyes turned white, as if he could not accept that such a naive and romantic little girl could say such evil words, and even beat her heart out with every word, with such a cold attitude.

"What about me? Do you still think it's the pepper I sold you? Hehe, someone like you, even if you have the gold, sooner or later, you'll have to give it to someone else for free. Then how did Liu Yungui manage to kill you? Money! Do you think you're stupid? If someone could send money to the yamen, why wouldn't you? Don't you know how cheap the pepper you got from me is? Even if you gave them all the money, it would only be three hundred taels of silver. Later on, you had agreed with the yamen that you would give them half of the profit for free in the pepper business, so why not? Even if you give me seventy percent of it, you would still earn more than Liu Yungui, wouldn't you? "

Li Yannian's words were forced, causing him to be at a loss for words, unable to answer.

Li Yannian laughed coldly and continued, "If you want to talk about blame, you should blame me. It is my eyes that do not recognize the fish eyes, a moment of pity you, so singlehandedly you sell so ten pounds of pepper. Fortunately, I didn't have a name and family background with you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to survive in prison and reveal me. You're the only one who's going to hurt yourself, so when I said I was glad for your wife, what was wrong with that? "

When Black Bean heard it, his heart jumped in fear, and he said anxiously: "Er Mei, what nonsense are you saying, what nonsense are you saying, pui, a child's words are meaningless."

Looking at his elder brother, Li Yannian's expression immediately eased up, and laughed: "Brother, I was just assuming, this bookworm, did not have the guts to go all out against a person with surname Liu, bullying a little girl like me, I can't take this lying down."

At the side, Xu Zijun's face was as though he had lost his parents. His eyes were wide open as if he wanted to tell him that something was wrong, that she just wanted to help him get rid of his sin. What she said was completely false … Admit it, it was clearly because you were weak and didn't dare to face your own incompetence. After buying the dagger, you didn't dare to seek revenge on Liu Yungui and seek for your own death, yet didn't have the guts to do so. That was why you gave yourself an excuse to survive the moment you decided to hang yourself …

Xu Zijun stood up with a pale face, and wobbled his way out.

Li Yannian's figure flashed, and blocked the door.

Xu Zijun was helpless, he laughed bitterly: "You're right, I'm useless. "What else do you have to say for yourself? If you don't get enough of it, I, Xu, will stand here and let you say whatever you want."

Li Yannian shook her head: "In the end, we are still business acquaintances, and it doesn't feel good for you to be reduced to a situation where you need food. You've suffered so much, you've tasted the cold and the warm, so I don't have to scold you again. I only want to ask you a question, what plans do you have for the future? "

Xu Zijun still laughed bitterly and sighed: "What else can I do? I should ask for food, gather enough money, buy some clean clothes, and then ask the shop in town if there is anyone who can write and calculate accounts. My father had helped me read for so many years that at least I hadn't wasted my money. It's a pity that I wasn't able to bring honor to him. "

Li Yannian proposed with a smile: "I have a way out of this, let's see if you're willing to suffer a little more."

Xu Zijun's eyes lit up, but Black Bean looked towards Li Yannian with suspicion. He wondered what his sister was planning this time, could it be that she wanted this Xu surnamed person to stay and work in the shop? This won't do, not to mention that this Xu surnamed person still harbored some hatred towards her sister, leaving her was a disaster after all, even the shop did not need another accountant. It was sufficient to have First Uncle Zhang Bao watching over them, adding another person would only add to the chaos.

Just as Black Bean was about to say something, he heard Li Yannian say to him. "I wonder if you're willing to help me go out to sea? In the middle of May, the Gu family has a boat to Nanyang. I've asked around, if it's 50 taels of silver, we can change it to an empty bed on the boat. Let me put it first, besides the strong winds and waves, there are also those fearless pirates. No matter which one you meet, it will be enough for you to die once. Have you decided, are you willing to stay in the Clear Water Town peacefully and be a beggar, or risk your life to fight for the future, to help me take the forward position? "

Xu Zijun's gaze could not help but become deeper, as though he was thinking about something, and stared at Li Yannian for a while.

Black Bean resisted the urge to interrupt and looked at the two of them silently. When did his sister have the intention to go to sea? Why had he never heard her mention it before?

Just as Xu Zijun was about to agree, Li Yannian suddenly took out ten taels of silver from her bosom and handed it over to him: "At the beginning, you did give me three hundred taels of silver, but I'm sorry, I did not plan to return it to you. Since you gave me the money, I gave you the goods too, but as for whether or not you earned it from me, that's your own ability.

"I lent you these 10 silver for the time being. Tidy yourself up later. If you decide not to go out to sea, you can use this money to do some small business. It's better than asking for food." As for the money, I don't want your interest. I'll only lend it to you for a year. However, if you decide to go to sea in my place after some consideration, then these ten silver taels will be your reward. You can spend all your money before boarding the ship, or you can go to some overseas goods to try and get it all for yourself. "

Xu Zijun could not help but ask curiously: "Don't tell me that you don't need me to bring the goods out to sell? What do you want me to do at sea? "

Li Yannian laughed: "It's too early to ask about this. You can ask me after you decide whether or not you want to do it."

Not to mention Xu Zijun did not understand what Li Yannian was really doing, even Black Bean did not know what his sister was planning. But seeing that Li Yannian was not in the mood to explain her plan to anyone, Xu Zijun didn't continue the line of questioning. Before he left, he suddenly took out the Three Coins and handed it over to Li Yannian.

Li Yannian was stupefied: "This is?"

It was rare to see this sharp-tongued little girl with a dazed look on her face. Xu Zijun could not help but smile: "If you don't mind dirtying your bowls, I want to eat a full meal in the kitchen."
