Chapter 51: This temptation is very strong.
Seeing Tian Tian smile, Qian Fulai proudly raised his head.
"In that case, it wasn't for nothing that I had some news to tell you." Qian Fulai hummed twice.
Tian Tian looked him up and down. "What news?"
Qian Fulai: "Didn't we say before that the wealthy businessman from Xiushui County was going to buy land in Songxi County and Baishi County to build tea plantations?"
“I specifically went to inquire about it.”
"That wealthy businessman may have already been looking for a mountain stronghold in Songxi County or Baishi County."
“He usually chooses land in the mountains; he doesn’t even consider land in the suburbs.”
"If you're going to buy land, you really need to save up some money. There's a manor for sale about twenty miles west of the city next year," Qian Fulai said in a low voice, sounding very mysterious.
This news was actually quite useful to Tian Tian.
Zhuangzi's land must have been in large tracts.
Tian Tian nodded secretly.
Qian Fulai chuckled, "But don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you don't have enough money, I'll chip in some for you."
He suddenly remembered something and his expression turned serious.
"Miss Tian, there's something else I need to remind you of."
Tian Tian also started to take it seriously.
“That’s Chu Wang,” Qian Fulai clicked his tongue. “He’s probably not simple.”
Tian Tian frowned. Chu Wang was no simple man.
She really couldn't tell...
In her eyes, Chu Wang was like a mama's boy.
When they went to their house to discuss business, they even brought Madam Chu with them.
Qian Fulai's voice was even softer than before, "Last night, after the restaurant closed... I saw... Chu Xing... in the red-light district..."
He coughed lightly, embarrassed, "That woman... she was holding Chu Wang's hand, and Chu Wang gave her money."
Tian Tian's pupils dilated.
Chu Xing frequented brothels, so his conduct was clearly questionable.
But if Chu Wang truly intended to lead Chu Xing to be with that woman with the venereal disease...
That Chu Wang... his heart is too vicious.
Tian Tian immediately thought of Chu Qian and Chu Yao.
If Chu Wang could kill his elder brother, it's hard to guarantee that he wouldn't kill his nephews and nieces as well.
But Qian Fulai was worried about the bean curd skin.
“If he can’t make a deal with you, I’m afraid he’ll resort to dirty tricks.”
"You have to be careful!"
Tian Tian chuckled, "Are you afraid he'll cause trouble at my shop? Or... steal my skills?"
Qian Fulai nodded, that's what he meant.
Tian Tian waved her hand, "I'm not afraid."
Don't be afraid!
She has help!
If she dared to move next to Chuxing Restaurant, how could she not make preparations?
She had borrowed two monkeys from the Monkey King to act as bodyguards on the very day she started working at the shop.
*
On the way back to the shop, Tian Tian kept thinking about what Qian Fu had said.
When I passed by Chuxing Restaurant, I found that it was not open today.
its not right.
Tian Tian sat on the oxcart and slowly circled around to the back door of the shop. As she passed the backyard of Chu Xing Restaurant, she clearly heard sounds coming from inside.
If there are people here, why isn't the door open?
"Sweetie, come here." As soon as she entered the back door of the shop, two monkeys hanging upside down under the eaves waved to her.
Tian Tian walked over. "What's wrong?"
The monkey pointed upwards, "This morning, someone upstairs next door was going to throw swill out of their window."
Tian Tian looked up...
"We found them, and not only did we stop them, we also poured that big bucket of swill into their restaurant."
The monkey grinned, "How about that? Aren't we awesome?"
Tian Tian gave a thumbs up, "Great!"
awesome!
She immediately bought a pound of peanuts from the system and gave them to the animals as a reward.
*
Chu Wang was directing the waiters to clean the restaurant.
The entire restaurant was filled with the stench of swill.
This is... leftover swill from the previous day!!
He specifically instructed last night that what was left in the kitchen was originally intended to be poured into the neighbor's backyard!
He figured that even if he couldn't destroy anything, he could still annoy them.
did not expect...
Two monkeys suddenly appeared out of nowhere, not only kicking him down but also stealing his slop bucket...
"Young Master, why are you carrying the swill upstairs?" Xiao Si had a cloth bandage tied around his nose and his hands were covered in oil from the swill.
That's disgusting...
YUE...
Xiao Si couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited onto the freshly cleaned floor.
Seeing this, the other guys couldn't hold back any longer.
A chorus of exclamations erupted, and even Chu Wang, with his immense patience, couldn't bear it any longer...
YUE...

Tian Tian anticipated that Chu Wang would contact them again.
But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
The afternoon after their collective celebration, Chu Wang came to Qingliu Village again.
He came alone this time.
"If you're willing to supply goods to Chu Xing Restaurant, I can persuade my mother to agree..."
Chu Wang looked at Tian Xiang and reluctantly called out, "Sister-in-law, you can go see Chu Qian and Chu Yao anytime."
This is very tempting.
Lu Tao and Tian Xiang's eyes lit up; they were very tempted.
But Tian Tian's goal was to bring the two children back...
Tian Tian gave Lu Tao and Tian Xiang a look, and the two lowered their heads and remained silent.
"My older sister has already been divorced, why should she still be taking care of the children?"
"Our goods are only supplied to Qian Fulai!"
Chu Wang retorted, "Didn't you also sell them to those traveling merchants?"
"You think I don't know?"
Tian Tian spread her hands, "Those traveling merchants don't do business in Baishi County."
Chu Wang turned to Tian Xiang, "Tian, do you really not want to see Chu Qian and Chu Yao?"
Tian Xiang resisted, saying, "I'll listen to Tian Tian."
Chu Wang left in a huff...
*
As soon as Chu Wang left, Liu San Niang arrived.
She carried a bamboo basket on her back and led Daya, saying, "Sister Lu, Xiang'er, Tiantian, Jinghe... let's go up the mountain, I'm going to hunt two pheasants."
Tian Tian was worried and had no desire to go up the mountain.
Tian Xiang's mind had just been disturbed by Chu Wang, and she didn't want to go...
Tian Jinghe just wants to be with Tian Tian all the time.
In the end, only Lu Tao followed Liu San Niang up the mountain.
result...
Two hours had passed since Lu Tao and the others left, and it was already evening when they still hadn't been seen.
Tian Xiang stood at the doorway, looking up and down the mountain, filled with worry.
It gets dark early in the mountains, and if we don't come down soon, we'll easily run into danger.
"What's going on?" She spun around in place...
Tian Tian had already prepared dinner: a big pot of porridge, egg pancakes, and stir-fried wild vegetables.
With more seasonings at home, the food I cook tastes especially delicious.
Especially the egg pancake; Tian Tian bought ready-made tomato sauce from the system, and after brushing it on, it made Jing He's mouth water.
"Big sister, don't worry." Tian Tian also came to the door. "Mother and Aunt Liu have been going up the mountain often lately, they should be fine."
Tian Xiang frowned. "I'm just afraid of encountering wild animals."
Wild boars, wolves...
Tian Tian turned back to look at the monkey king on the roof and beckoned it to come down.
I fed it a few peanuts, then said, "I'm going up the mountain to see how my mother and Aunt Liu are doing."
The Monkey King ate her peanuts and, without wasting a moment, vanished in a flash.
Tian Xiang has been getting along well with the Monkey King lately. Sometimes when she goes out to gather firewood, the Monkey King helps her.
A short while later, the Monkey King returned.
It danced around excitedly in front of Tian Tian, saying, "Your mother told you not to worry, they'll be back soon."
"They didn't encounter any trouble; they just rescued a man who had fallen and injured himself on the mountain."
Tian Xiang couldn't understand. "Tian Tian, what is it saying?"
