Chapter 111 White-Eyed Wolf

"Rebel!"

Shopkeeper Feng felt a sweet and fishy taste in his mouth, picked up the paperweight on the table and threw it at Feng Chuan, leaving a big bruise on Feng Chuan's head.

He had just paid back two hundred taels to Feng Chuan, and he really didn't expect that there was still a debt of one thousand taels waiting for him.

"Do you know what one thousand taels means? How dare you?" Shopkeeper Feng cursed, panting.

"Second uncle... No, Dad, I was framed." Feng Chuan looked aggrieved.

Feng Chuan covered his head with his hands, his heart filled with resentment. After all, he was an adopted son. If he was his second uncle's biological son, would his second uncle beat him like this?

"Have you been framed? Even at this point you still don't know where you went wrong and are still trying to make excuses." Shopkeeper Feng was so angry that he felt like he was about to be born.

Given Feng Chuan's usual character, he didn't believe at all that Feng Chuan was framed.

Feng Chuan's appetite was simply magnified by his repeated attempts to clean up his mess, and he ended up owing 1,200 taels of silver.

"You owed me five hundred taels of silver at the beginning. In order to pay off the debt for you, I was driven out by the Meng family and had to come to Yanguan Town from Pingchuan County. What did you promise me at that time? You said you would never gamble again, but you...you..." Shopkeeper Feng was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Feng Chuan stood in front of Shopkeeper Feng with his head lowered and a fierce look in his eyes. There was only one thought in his mind, that is, Shopkeeper Feng did not treat him as his own son.

"I was really framed." Feng Chuan said.

"Shut up, you are worse than pigs and dogs, and you are still quibbling." Shopkeeper Feng pointed at Feng Chuan and cursed.

"Dad, what should I do? I already owe you money. If I can't pay it back, you'll cut off one of my hands." Feng Chuan began to beg Shopkeeper Feng, "Dad, please help me. This is the last time. I promise I won't gamble again."

"This is one thousand and two taels of silver." Shopkeeper Feng supported his head with his hands. If he really touched the account of Sushiyuan, would he have any future?

But he couldn't just watch his adopted son lose his hand.

"Dad, I beg you, I promise this is the last time." Feng Chuan fell to his knees in front of Shopkeeper Feng and cried, "Dad, you are the shopkeeper of Sushi Garden, you will definitely find a way."

"Think of a way? That's easy for you to say. I can't even get one thousand taels even if I sell the shop." Shopkeeper Feng sneered.

Feng Chuan begged again, but Shopkeeper Feng said a lot of unpleasant things in anger.

"......Why did I adopt you as my son?"

These words completely infuriated Feng Chuan, and he started to speak without thinking.

"Second uncle."

Feng Chuan no longer called Manager Feng "Dad".

"It seems that those who are not biological children are not as devoted as before. What did you say when you adopted me? You said that you would give me all your property in the future. Don't think that you are doing me a favor just because you helped me fill the hole and spent money. Your money was originally meant for me, but you just spent it on me in advance."

"I have a father and a mother, so why should I be your son? You have to give something, right? If you don't, do you expect me to wear mourning clothes and burn paper for you a hundred years later? If your own son owed a gambling debt of one thousand taels, would you still ignore it?"

"I am willing to be adopted by you. You owe me a favor. Otherwise, your family line would be cut off. It's your fault that you don't have the ability to give birth to a son."

Feng Chuan blurted out the words that were buried deep in his heart.

Shopkeeper Feng was stunned. He didn't expect Feng Chuan to say that to him.

Every word of these stabs at his heart, and they almost curse him to have no descendants.

Before, he always thought that Feng Chuan should be grateful to him for adopting him. After all, his eldest brother had a hard time, and as the youngest son of the eldest wife, Feng Chuan had limited resources.

If it weren't for him, Feng Chuan would still be struggling to make ends meet by farming in the village.

He helped Feng Chuan find a wife, raised his family, and bought him land in the countryside. However, not only did he fail to gain Feng Chuan's gratitude, but it actually whetted his appetite.

If this isn’t an ungrateful person, what is this?

If he had known this earlier, he would have expanded the scope and selected from the children of his cousins ​​in the clan.

The words "Who told you that you don't have the ability to give birth to a son" hurt Manager Feng so much that he fell into pain.

Yes, he really hoped that Feng Chuan in front of him was his own biological son, so that he could beat and scold him and be willing to pay back the money for him.

"Anyway, I'm in a desperate situation now. I'm your son, and you have to pay the 1,000 taels of silver whether you want to or not. You're very capable, and you helped me pay back 500 taels back then. I believe you can pay back 1,000 taels with a little bit of grit."

"If Second Uncle pays me back, we will still be father and son. A hundred years later, I will still break pots and carry banners for you to continue your incense. If you can't pay me back, our father-son relationship will end."

After Feng Chuan finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

Shopkeeper Feng was so angry that he fell down on the chair, covered his chest and spat out another mouthful of blood.

The shop assistant heard the noise, came in and was frightened by the blood on Shopkeeper Feng's mouth. He quickly went to ask for a doctor.

The enthusiastic voice of Tong Huaqiong selling cakes came from downstairs and reached the ears of Shopkeeper Feng. Shopkeeper Feng was so angry and worried that he fell ill.

From then on, Shopkeeper Feng no longer had any interest in Taohua Desserts. His mind was full of Feng Chuan’s gambling debts.

At one moment, he made up his mind to never care about him again and treat him as if he had never been adopted; at another moment, he was unwilling to do so, after all, he had invested too much in Feng Chuan and had feelings for him. He was really afraid that Feng Chuan's hand would be chopped off.

But if we pay off his gambling debts, the hole of one thousand taels of silver is too big.

He now has only three hundred taels of silver in his hand, which is still not enough even if he embezzles the turnover of Sushi Garden in the past few months.

Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe kept staring at Feng Chuan.

Gu Dashu asked Feng Chuan for debt every day.

In order to turn the tables, Feng Chuan went to the casino to continue gambling. Since the two hundred taels of silver he owed to the casino was paid off by Manager Feng, the casino was willing to continue lending him money.

He borrowed another two hundred taels, but not only did he fail to turn the situation around, he lost money again.

Tong Huaqiong asked Gu Dashu to find a way to get the news to Shopkeeper Feng, who was so angry that he drank several large bowls of Chinese medicine.

Feng Chuan was chased away by Gu Dashu for debt collection and had no choice but to go find Manager Feng again. Since he had a falling out with Manager Feng, he no longer played the role of father and son to Manager Feng and forced Manager Feng to give him the money.

Shopkeeper Feng pounded the bed in anger, wondering why he had adopted such an evil child.

During the period when Manager Feng was ill, Tong Huaqiong started her own career journey.

She first took out eighty taels of the two hundred taels of silver that Gu Dashu had won from Feng Chuan and returned them to Ma Huateng, and put the remaining silver in her own arms.

Gu Guangkui was really good at his job. He arranged all the counters and cabinets in the shop according to her requirements, and Gu Xiaocao cleaned the shop thoroughly.

Three simple houses, a baking oven and two storage rooms were built in the backyard.

In addition, Tong Huaqiong also had people dig a cellar to store ice.

In summer, the ingredients for making pastries need to be stored in a low temperature place. It is unrealistic to leave them in the space and ask Maner to take them out.

Fortunately, there is ice in this era.

There is a big river in Yanguan Town. The ice formed in winter is stored for use in summer. Some merchants even go to colder places to collect ice and do ice business in summer.

After the ice cellar was dug, Tong Huaqiong bought a lot of ice and stored it in it. The whole yard was filled with cool breezes, making it a natural refrigerator.

I tried the oven repaired by Qin Qingyou and found that the temperature control was perfect.

Tong Huaqiong also wanted to find workers to make a gear-operated hand-cranked whisk. She gave the electric egg beater to the craftsmen in the town, but no one had figured it out yet.

She planned to ask Gu Dahan to ask Lu Zhaoyang to find a craftsman when delivering pastries to the Lu family. The Lu family was involved in all kinds of business, so it would be more reliable to ask Lu Zhaoyang.

The accountant Ma Huateng took up his post, the waitress Liu Yue'e was trained, the boss Tong Huaqiong was in place, and the second in command Gu Taohua was also ready.

Everything is ready, except for the opening.

Tong Huaqiong plans to open the store in three days.
