Xiao Tieshu said to the subordinate of the tax official, "we only know that Baoshan works at the wharf. My sister-in-law runs a restaurant in the city. Didn't you investigate her restaurant last time? The situation is just like what you investigated last time."
Xiao Tongshu also said, "yes, that's the case. By the way, I heard that they bought a house in the county and didn't invite a wedding banquet. We haven't been to their new house."
“……”
After the tax official's subordinates left, Xiao Tieshu was swearing.
"The second room is really going too far. I don't know. Please let's go to their new house."
Xiao Tongshu said, "isn't the new house within the scope of our inspection? We pass by there every day. We've probably seen what's going on. It doesn't matter whether we go or not."
"That's not what they said. They invited us when we were relatives and didn't invite us. They completely excluded us."
Xiao Tongshu said, "yes, we don't have any deep hatred with them. Didn't we let Er Fang work more before? But they can't make money. Shouldn't they do more work?"
"Oh, my heart." Xiao Tieshu sighed.
……
Unexpectedly, Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu saw Ye Xiaoxian the next day.
Ye Xiaoxian came back from the restaurant at noon that day and happened to meet them on patrol in the street.
Ye Xiaoxian went over and said hello: "uncle and third uncle."
Xiao Tieshu was not angry when he saw Ye Xiaoxian. He snorted, "HMM."
Xiao Tongshu disdained to say, "Oh, ye, why aren't you in the restaurant? Don't you have to work there?"
Ye Xiaoxian smiled: "yes, not for the time being. There are cooks cooking over there."
"No wonder you're so energetic. You've hired people." Xiao Tieshu road.
Ye Xiaoxian smiled: "is uncle praising me? Thank you."
Xiao Tongshu was sour and said, "people are in good spirits at happy events. This restaurant has a good business, bought a new house and won a grand prize in the provincial capital. Your days are getting better and better."
Ye Xiaoxian said, "that's it. By the way, uncle and uncle, when you're free, come to our new house for dinner?"
As soon as ye Xiaoxian spoke, Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu were shocked.
Ye Xiaoxian is going to invite them to dinner. Is this the sun rising from the west?
Ye Xiaoxian smiled again: "I was busy with Baozhu before, and then went to the county to compete. Now there are still some thorny things to deal with, and I don't have time to invite you to come and sit down. I heard that you have also seen Baozhu, and I thought, this is really a family. Only your own people can go to see Baozhu."
Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu were surprised again.
Xiao Tieshu said, "forget it. I remember I still owe you hundreds of Wen. Didn't I credit you for dinner last time?"
Ye Xiaoxian explained with a smile: "uncle, our restaurant looks at the scenery. In fact, we can't make a lot of money. I've explained to you the reasons. The waiter in the restaurant needs money for wages and rent. In addition, there's really no money for taxes and buying vegetables and rice. Therefore, even if his family comes to dinner, they also need money.
However, uncle and third uncle, after all, it's your first time to come. Let's write off this account. But you can't bring people to dinner in the future, especially Xun wenda. That person's mind is not right. "
Ye Xiaoxian's words are all about this. If Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu can't understand it any more, they have a problem in thought.
Seeing ye Xiaoxian's sincerity again, Xiao Tieshu said, "well... I'll go back and discuss with your big aunt. We'll come if the day is right."
"OK, I'll wait for your news." Ye Xiaoxian said.
……
"What? You want to invite uncle and uncle to dinner?" Li Hongmei looked at Ye Xiaoxian in surprise.
Ye Xiaoxian said, "yes, I've thought about it. We are not enemies with our uncle and third uncle. In the final analysis, we are still related by blood, and there is no deep hatred. Our family moved to a new house and didn't invite them to dinner."
Li Hongmei is not happy when she thinks of Wang Mudan and Chen Ju.
Ye Xiaoxian smiled and advised her: "Mom, we're not in the village now. We can't focus on the petty profits at present. We have to look far away. Uncle and third uncle are soap servants in the Yamen. I'm afraid they can help us in the future. Besides, aunt and third aunt are in the village again, and they won't often come to our house to eat and drink. I told them very clearly."
Li Hongmei still had some tangles: "Alas, it was not easy to get rid of them."
"How can you take it off? It breaks bones and connects tendons." Ye Xiaoxian smiled.
Li Hongmei couldn't resist Ye Xiaoxian, so she had to say, "OK, listen to you. If you think you can."
……
Besides Fang Shanding, he found out that ye Xiaoxian's husband worked at the wharf, so he felt very superior.
Like Mr. Zhang before, Fang Shanding thought he was superior to the people on the dock and thought he could attract Ye Xiaoxian's attention.
Women are greedy men at the beginning. They are young and handsome, but after some days, they will begin to pay attention to money. Fang Shanding thinks Ye Xiaoxian is the same.
Fang Shanding was cautious and asked people to make an in-depth investigation of xiaobaoshan.
Later, I learned that xiaobaoshan made a lot of money and had excellent martial arts, so he had no chance of winning.
This matter can only be outwitted and infiltrated slowly, and can not be strong.
Fang Shanding carefully analyzed his strengths and weaknesses.
His advantage is that he has authority in the Yamen. He can bring ye Xiaoxian into contact with bigger people and give ye Xiaoxian a broader sky. The disadvantage, of course, is that he is old now and has a wife and children at home. If he can get Ye Xiaoxian, ye Xiaoxian can only be a concubine.
Fang Shanding is old. He doesn't want to toss around or take ye Xiaoxian back as a concubine. He just wants to take ye Xiaoxian as a confidant. He can chat, have fun and sleep.
He also thought that such an arrangement was actually cheap for ye Xiaoxian.
She can not only guard xiaobaoshan's husband, but also have a blue Yan confidant who forgets to make friends.
……
"Leaf, the tax official came again and said he wanted to see you."
In the restaurant, Li Hongmei saw Fang Shanding coming again and went to greet him, but Fang Shanding said she had something to do with Ye Xiaoxian.
Ye Xiaoxian was about to go out. Li Hongmei took her hand and said with a worried look, "Ye, you have to be careful. I think the tax official is upset and kind."
Ye Xiaoxian said with a smile, "can't he? The last time he came, he didn't say anything."
"The old man's mind is deep. Maybe he wants to catch big fish for a long time." In short, Li Hongmei is very worried.
Ye Xiaoxian comforted Li Hongmei and said, "anyway, I still have to ask."
Fang Shanding came alone today. When he met Ye Xiaoxian, he only ordered one dish, But she invited Ye Xiaoxian: "Madam ye, didn't you come to my house to cook a full moon banquet last time? Many people came to my house for dinner that day, and the county magistrate came. He ate your meal and was full of praise. In two days, the county magistrate is going to give a banquet at his house. Are you free? How about going to help cook some dishes?"
"Cooking?"
