Chapter 165 - 165 She Is Delicate



Xie Heng looked indifferent. He walked straight to Zhao Guitang’s door and asked him from outside the door, “Did this man try to go in and steal the tofu?”

Zhao Guitang froze for a second. Madam He reacted right away and nodded vigorously. She said, “Yes, he forced us to sell him the tofu at a low price!”

“Well, you’re trying to force your business on others. You’ve committed a crime. So, we have every reason to bring you to the county office,” said Xie Heng as he nodded. “Officer Qiao has been focusing on cracking down on this kind of crime. You’ll be used as an example to everyone.”

!!

Although Manager Li was arrogant, he didn’t dare to do anything when he saw Xie Heng who was dressed like a scholar.

“You, don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t do anything!”

“But I heard it all. You threatened them by vowing that you would take revenge in the future. What does that say about you?”

“You’re bullshitting!”

Manager Li was furious.

“How can you be so vicious at such a young age? Have you studied for nothing?”

Xie Heng turned around and asked the villagers he had called over, “Uncles, did you hear what he just said? Did he call us good-for-nothings?”

“Yes, yes, yes. We heard him. He was belittling all scholars!”

“Who is the man? What is he doing in our village?”

“He must be trying to rob the tofu recipe of Guitang’s family after seeing that he is a crippled man. Let’s arrest him and send him to the county office so that the officer can seek justice for us!”

Manager Li almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

It didn’t occur to him that the teenager was so overbearing.

He was cursing only him, but it incurred anger from all the scholars.

“You, you…”

“Take him down.”

Hearing Xie Heng’s indifferent words, the villagers immediately came forward and tied Manager Li while he was lying on the ground.

Manager Li broke into curses.

Xie Heng laughed gently and said, “This is a stupid person.”

But when the villagers wanted to send Manager Li to the county office, Manager Li panicked.

“I was just angry because I couldn’t buy tofu. I didn’t really want to do it. Aren’t you guys going too far? If you don’t send me to the county office, I will agree to any condition you have!”

Xie Heng asked, “Tell me who you are?”

“I’m the manager of the Shiyang County branch of Visitor’s Aroma. I came here to buy tofu, but I didn’t know that they had to lie to me and say they couldn’t make the decision. I have every reason to be angry when they told lies on purpose, didn’t I?”

“They didn’t tell lies. This tofu business belongs to my wife. They are only working for her. Of course, they cannot make the decision. If you really want to do business as an honest person, at least ask around before you do it. It’s better to ask me than to ask them.”

Manager Li’s eyes widened.

“What do you mean? You can make the decision?”

“Chuchu is my wife. Why can’t I make the decision?”

Manager Li was speechless and shocked.

He wondered why nobody told him that Xie Heng’s eyes had been cured.

He became flustered.

“Oh, well… So, you are Scholar Xie?” Even after knowing that it was true, Manager Li still tried to verify his guess, hoping that the teenager in front of him was not Xie Heng.

Xie Heng’s name as a prodigy was popular in Shiyang County.

He was not afraid of Xie Heng when he was blind because he knew there was little he could do.

But now that he regained his vision, he was not someone he could mess with!

“Yes.” Xie Heng nodded his head, taking Manager Li back to reality.

Manager Li was sweating.

“Scholar Xie, it’s all a misunderstanding…”

“It’s not a misunderstanding,” Xie Heng interrupted him.

“I’ve seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears.”

“I…”

“Chuchu was originally doing business with Visitor’s Aroma in Yuanjiang County. Your branch crossed over to Yuanjiang County and came straight to their shop. So, I guess you must have hit a little bit of a roadblock at the Yuanjiang County branch, right?”

Manager Li stammered, but Xie Heng got the answer on the first guess.

“Chuchu is also in the county. Haven’t you seen Chuchu?”

Manager Li started to wipe his sweat.

“Well, it looks like you have seen her and been impolite to her.”

“I haven’t…”

“Your nature is such that you despise people. If you were kind, why would you come to Lengshui Village?”

“Scholar Xie…”

“Since you were rude to Chuchu, I don’t need to be nice to you. After all, people who don’t show respect to my wife don’t deserve my respect,” Xie Heng said indifferently. “What you said about scholars is also unforgivable.”

“Scholar Xie, I know I’m wrong. Please let me off the hook this time. I promise I won’t do it next time.”

“You still want to have the next time?”

...

“Can I pay you so that you’ll let me go? But please don’t take this any further.”

“That is not necessary, otherwise, we’ll be no different than you. How about this? You write a guarantee for everyone.”

Everyone was puzzled. They thought Xie Heng was going to send Manager Li to the county office.

“How come he doesn’t want the silver but wants a guarantee?” they thought.

“What? What guarantee?”

“Promise that you will not come and steal the tofu recipe, otherwise, pay my wife 5,000 taels of silver.”

Manager Li was furious.

“Is this a guarantee?”

“This is a trap!”

“If someone other than Zhao Chuchu made the tofu, could it be said that he stole the recipe and found someone to make it?” he thought.

“You, that’s outrageous!” Manager Li shouted. “What if someone else did it? I’m still responsible?”

...

“That’s pretty much what I mean,” Xie Heng admitted frankly as he nodded. “If you don’t write, we can go to the county office, but after today, I don’t know if your boss will continue to have you as his employee.”

Manager Li was speechless.

He thought he was already very shameless.

He didn’t expect Xie Heng to be more so.

He found such harsh conditions unbearable.

“Have you made up your mind?” Xie Heng urged Manager Li a moment later.

Manager Li gritted his teeth as he said, “According to what you said, I’m screwed either way, right?”

“You should have thought of this before you spoke out against my wife.” Xie Heng laughed lightly. “Unfortunately, I am very protective of my wife. I can’t stand anyone speaking ill of her.”

Manager Li was furious and pointed at his own face. “Look, take a good look. What has your wife suffered? I am the one who has suffered.”

“Are you out of your mind? He is the one who was beaten. What do you mean Zhao Chuchu has suffered?” the onlookers said in their minds.

“She is usually kind to people. She can’t even bear to kill an aunt, so she must have been hurt a lot before slapping a man like you. She only looks strong on the surface, but she is very delicate deep down.”

The onlookers were almost speechless

“Da Lang, don’t talk nonsense. We can’t take it anymore,” they thought.

If Chuchu was delicate, they could be said to be very fragile.

But they only dared to complain secretly in their mind.

Xie Heng wanted to seek justice for Zhao Chuchu, so they wouldn’t intervene.

Manager Li almost fainted in anger.

He had never seen such a shameless scholar!
