Early the next morning, Yue Xi and Zi Yue were having breakfast when Liuzi ran in in a panic, "What's wrong? You're so out of breath from running. Have you eaten?" Yue Xi asked.
"Brother, something bad happened. Something big happened."
"A lot of things have happened recently. Don't make a fuss. What's wrong?" She slept well last night and Yuexi was in a good mood at the moment.
"It's Shopkeeper Chen. Shopkeeper Chen vomited a lot of blood and is about to die." Hearing the sudden bad news, Yue Xi stood up and said, "What's going on? Tell me clearly. What happened to the old shopkeeper."
Liu Zi took Yue Xi and left, "Brother Yue, I don't know the specifics. Shopkeeper Chen came back with Master Ni. It seems that there was a big mistake in the bond matter. The old shopkeeper vomited blood for some reason. What are the details?
I don’t know either.”
"Yue Xi, please go and have a look." Zi Yue said anxiously. Shopkeeper Chen was easy-going and got along well with the Liu family. The most important thing was that he was able to lend a helping hand when the Liu family was in the most dire straits.
, selflessly helping their old club. Without the support of shopkeeper Chen, Yuexi and the others would probably not have been able to make a name for themselves on Yizi Street so quickly.
The two of them rode a land bird and hurried to shopkeeper Chen's house. As soon as they entered the door, it was Master Ni with a sad expression. He looked at Yuexi and cried, "Brother Yue, it's all my fault. I was careless."
"What's going on, please tell me clearly." Yue Xi was very excited now.
"Master Yuexi." An old and feeble voice came from the back room, it was shopkeeper Chen. Yue Xi immediately walked into the back room. In the room, shopkeeper Cheng was lying on the bed, his face was bloodless, and there were dots of blood on the quilt. Yue Xi
Xi Shang went up and held shopkeeper Chen's hand tightly.
"Old shopkeeper, what's wrong with you? How did you end up like this? Ni Jia'ao, please explain to me clearly what's going on, from beginning to end."
At this moment, Yuexi is completely on the verge of losing control.
Master Ni sobbed and told what happened. It turned out that Hongtai Trading Company had set them up. Master Ni and shopkeeper Chen went to the provincial capital to handle development bond matters. The people from Hongtai pretended to contact them and actually helped them with the relevant procedures.
After a lot of work, they actually offered to cooperate and were even willing to provide guarantees. This surprised both of them. Hongtai is a very powerful business firm and should not take such a risky business seriously. What happened next was also unexpected.
It went smoothly as expected. Shopkeepers Ni and Chen were very happy.
Just when the overall situation was decided, Hongtai's people finally revealed their true colors. It turned out that they approached shopkeeper Chen and Master Ni just to find out the details. It is not known what means they used to force Jin Ya, the owner of Chun Ya's pawnshop, and her son.
He transferred all the control of the entire Chun Ya Pawn Shop to Hongtai. When shopkeeper Chen found out, he was furious and wanted to argue with Jin Ya and his son. People from Hongtai happened to be there, so they started to quarrel. During this time, shopkeeper Chen got a little excited and started to fight.
"Later on, Shopkeeper Chen was kicked and injured by them. That's what happened to Brother Yue."
"Hongtai, Jin Ya, you damn old woman, I'm going to kill her. You all deserve to die." After hearing this, Yue Xi roared, her eyes blood red. If she hadn't been holding her back, she might have rushed out and killed Jin Ya and her son.
"Yuexi, listen to me, don't be impulsive. I'm the one who takes care of things. Don't forget to be wary of others. You will have to do big things in the future. Don't risk your future for a useless old man like me who is dying.
Push it in. You have to endure it, you know. Jin Ya and her son are also
There is nothing we can do, the Yan family has great hands and eyes, how dare they, an orphan and a widower, disobey." Shopkeeper Chen said weakly.
Yuexi regained some sense, sat on the bedside again, and said softly: "Uncle Chen, this matter is not over yet, you take good care of yourself, I will hire the best doctor for you, you will be fine, no, my family
I am down and out, if it weren’t for Uncle Chen who never forgets his old love even if he joins a new employer, I, Liu Yuexi, would never have a chance to turn around. You will definitely get better."
Speaking of this, shopkeeper Chen also had tears in his eyes, "Yue Xi, my old club in La Liga treated me well. They didn't dislike me for being a country kid who didn't know anything. They taught me how to do business step by step and helped me run the Liu family store."
Shopkeeper, later on, the old club of La Liga was unfortunately killed, and your Liu family had a big change. The business of the shop was really unsustainable. Your mother took the initiative to let me resign unconditionally. In fact, I really didn’t want to leave, but I always want to make things happen.
I thought I could help you, but I didn’t expect that I would end up dragging you down in the end.”
"Uncle Chen, don't say that, there will be a turn for the better. We have been through many dangerous things in recent years. It doesn't matter. Master Ni must have a way, right, Xiao Ni." Yue Xi said excitedly,
Master Ni could only nod along.
Shopkeeper Chen breathed hard: "Yes, there will be a way. I forgot that you have all grown up and are stronger than us back then. There will be a way. Yuexi, I don't think I can survive this time. Can I
I can't stand next to this old face and ask you for a final favor."
Liu Yuexi held back, "Uncle Chen, don't be like this, you will get better."
Shopkeeper Chen shook his head, "Can you promise me?"
"Uncle Chen, tell me."
"I've been thinking about this for a long time. It just so happened that I had a falling out with Jin Ya's mother and son today, and I resigned as their boss. Yuexi, can I rejoin the Liu family firm as an ordinary clerk?
I'll be fine, this way, I can go downstairs and have the honor to meet my old employer."
"Uncle Chen, from now on, you will be the chief shopkeeper of my Liu Family Firm. You will always be the only big shopkeeper of my Liu Family Firm."
Liu Yuexi finally couldn't hold back and cried.
"Okay, thank you. One more small thing is, I'm sorry, but my useless son Chen Xing, please help me take care of him after I die. He is a good-for-nothing and cannot be used. Don't let him cause trouble for you.
"
Yue Xi held back tears and nodded. After explaining the important things, shopkeeper Chen's body, which was like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, couldn't hold on anymore. He coughed violently and a mouthful of blood spurted everywhere, "Doctor, where's the doctor, please hurry up."
Call the doctor." Yue Xi shouted. The doctor came over to check on Shopkeeper Chen and shook his head. He was helpless. Yue Xi was very sad and hit her head hard. Shopkeeper Chen's family members all came into the room.
I came to see my relatives for the last time. Soon, there was a cry inside, and shopkeeper Chen went to the west.
The next day, the entire street was closed for business, and every house was hung with white cloth. The lobby of the Liu family business was decorated as a mourning hall for shopkeeper Chen. Of course, as the head shopkeeper of the Liu family, the ceremony was solemn and sad.
As the son of Shopkeeper Chen, Chen Xing wore heavy filial piety and returned gifts to those who came to express condolences. Liu Yuexi led a group of brothers into the mourning hall. Looking at the portrait of Shopkeeper Chen on the mourning hall, Yuexi knelt down to kowtow to her old uncle.
Four heads, Chen Xing kowtowed four times in return. Yue Xi stood up and walked to Chen Xing. Chen Xing cried and said, "Yue Ye, my father's death was not worth it."
Yuexi said in a deep voice: "Chen
My uncle will always be loyal. I will remember his hatred and none of them will be able to escape. I, Liu Yuexi, promise that I will use the blood of my enemies to comfort your father’s soul in heaven.” After that, he patted Chen Xing’s arms hard.
.
In the back hall, all the brothers were sitting. No one dared to smile playfully anymore. Yue Xi spoke up, "A lot of things have happened recently. I hope the brothers can cheer up. They have been relaxed for a while.
Now let me tell you what happened next, where are Liu Zi, Jin Ya, mother and son, why haven’t I seen them come to express their condolences today?”
Liu Zi said: "Jin Ya and her son ran away. They dare not show their heads now."
"Then dig them out for me. Ah Yong has something for you to handle. From now on, Chunya Pawnshop and Yingou Gambling House will no longer do business in my Yizi Street. And in this city
Within the town, I don’t want to see anyone doing business with Hongtai. I don’t care what method you use, can you get it done?”
When A Yong heard this, he said fiercely, "Brother Yue, don't worry, we are in this business. It's trivial things. She can't succeed in her business. No one dares to do business with Hongtai, unless they risk their lives."
"Okay, Ajie, your honeymoon has to be put on hold for the time being. I have already cleared Barak and Linmei here in advance. They will remain silent during this period, but you still have to keep an eye on the patrol for me in the town hall.
We need to contact more people over there, don’t worry about money when it’s time to take care of things, make more use of the authority of our office, and don’t let people with bad intentions take advantage of it, especially the Zhang family. I don’t want anything to happen again. If someone
If you dare to take the lead, please notify A Yong and Liu Zi."
Ajie responded: "Brother Yue, it must be done."
"Daozi, get ready immediately and go to Wangjing with me. It's time for you to advance to the higher level and awaken."
Daozi made a sound and said nothing more. It seemed that he was no longer willing to stay in the primary stage.
"Okay, Liuzi, check out the Chaos Truth Cult that has popped up recently. The more detailed the better. They may be related to the plague. Stop recruiting people. You can check up on this sect more, but don't make any mistakes.
For action, I want the most detailed information. Master Ni, the monkey, will stay here for a while, and everyone can go about their business." Yue Xi waved her hand, and everyone took the order and went about their business.
The monkey stood still and said, "Brother Yue, what should I do?"
Yue Xi frowned, walked over, pulled the monkey aside and said softly: "Hey, just stop being busy and have a good rest. Don't be too tired to cause anything. I said it seriously last time. Don't take it to heart.
There is no other meaning in letting you rest, I really don’t want anything to happen to you again.”
"I am idle when I am idle. You know my situation." Monkey still insisted.
Yue Xi was confused by him and had no choice but to agree: "Well, you help me keep an eye on Dusk Aurora to see what's going on with him and don't let him mess around, okay? But don't go and talk to Twilight Yue again.
We met alone. Nowadays, the big house is not what it used to be. People talk a lot, so you have to think more about Twilight Yue. If there are some things, just let them go."
"I know." Monkey looked at Yuexi with complicated eyes, and finally smiled again.
"Ah, go ahead, go ahead, I'm annoyed when I see you." Yue Xi jokingly drove the monkey away, and the bad blood between the two came to an end.
