Chapter 114 Today is a good day
The eldest brother of the Feng family happily returned to the village with five hundred taels of silver.
Feng Chuan found Gu Dashu with the title deed and seal of Sushi Garden.
The corner of Gu Dashu's mouth twitched. Tong Huaqiong asked him to set a trap for Feng Chuan, not mainly for the one thousand taels of silver, but to stop Manager Feng from getting out of Sushi Garden and out of Yanguan Town.
As long as Taohua Dessert continues to operate smoothly, they have no intention of taking the one thousand taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, Feng Chuan stole the entire Sushi Garden to pay him back.
Gu Jingzhe was not present, so Gu Dashu did not dare to make a decision on his own. In other words, the whole matter was beyond his ability to handle.
This matter must be decided by my mother.
So, Tong Huaqiong, who was preparing to open the shop, was startled by Gu Dashu who broke in with Feng Chuan.
Gu Dashu was an excellent speaker and he made the purpose of bringing Feng Chuan here clear in just a few words.
Wow! Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but applaud. Feng Chuan was giving her the entire Sushi Garden by putting it on his belt.
Feng Chuan was also shocked when he saw Tong Huaqiong when he was taken to Yanzhi Lane. Isn't this the widow Tong who sold cakes opposite Sushiyuan and whose uncle wanted to sweep her out of Yanguan Town?
When he heard Gu Dashu calling Tong Huaqiong "mother", he realized that he had really been tricked.
All of this was done by this mother and son. No, it was a scheme set up by the mother and son.
Feng Chuan wanted to run but was held down by Gu Dashu. In the desperate situation, he was full of strength and Gu Dashu could not hold him down. He was about to step out of the shop when suddenly his arms were held down tightly and he was dragged back into the house by a fat girl.
"Want to run." Tong Huaqiong sneered.
Feng Chuan begged for mercy.
"I'm not as despicable as your second uncle. I won't want to kill you." Tong Huaqiong smiled brightly.
"You just want to use the deed to the Sushi Garden to pay for the money. I'll help you do that."
Under the watchful eyes of Tong Huaqiong, Gu Dashu and Gu Taohua, Feng Chuan tremblingly took out the land deed and seal and handed them to Tong Huaqiong.
"Where's the IOU?" Feng Chuan asked.
Tong Huaqiong laughed loudly. This gambler turned out to be a naive person. Your life is in my hands, but you still want an IOU. What are you thinking?
Tong Huaqiong was too lazy to talk nonsense. He waved his hand and ordered Gu Dashu to tie up Feng Chuan and lock him up in the woodshed in the yard.
There was no way she would let Feng Chuan go before the shop opened successfully.
Now the deed to Sushi Garden and Feng Chuan's life are in her hands, and she is just waiting to see what kind of trouble Manager Feng will make.
Her goal was not to swallow up the Sushi Garden or the one thousand and two taels of silver, but to make Manager Feng get out of Yanguan Town.
After all, she doesn't have the absolute strength to fight against the owner of Sushi Garden.
Peach Blossom Dessert will be open for three days.
As a competitor, she felt that she should personally inform the owner of Sushiyuan of the good news.
Maybe the owner of Sushiyuan would be willing to add some luster to the grand opening of Taohua Dessert.
Tong Huaqiong slapped his thigh and called Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe over, ordering them to go to Pingchuan County immediately with the seal and deed of Sushi Garden.
Tong Huaqiong was assured of Gu Jingzhe's work these days. She was confident that Gu Jingzhe could meet Ma Ming, the owner of Sushiyuan, and with Ma Ming's help, deal with Shopkeeper Feng before Taohua Dessert opened, making sure that Shopkeeper Feng was completely out of business.
"Today is a good day, everything I wish for will come true..." Tong Huaqiong's steps became lighter and she couldn't help humming.
Feng Chuan was tied up in the woodshed, listening to the noise outside, his mouth blocked and unable to speak.
He did not regret stealing the deed to Sushi Garden.
All this was the fault of his cheap father, his second uncle. It was because his second uncle wanted to deal with Taohua Dessert and expel Widow Tong from Yanguan Town that Widow Tong let her son set a trap for him.
All the suffering he is going through now is caused by his second uncle.
He was full of resentment towards his second uncle.
When it was getting dark, Gu Jingzhe and Gu Dashu returned from Pingchuan County. From the look on Gu Jingzhe's face, Tong Huaqiong knew that Manager Feng would never be able to make a comeback.
Tong Huaqiong ordered Gu Dashu to go into the woodshed and feed Feng Chuan some water and steamed buns, and then tied him up and gagged him.
"Mom, how should we deal with this person?" Gu Dashu asked.
"Close it until the shop reopens." Tong Huaqiong said, "You just stay here and watch him for the next two days."
Gu Dashu agreed.
The morning before Taohua Dessert opened, Manager Feng came to Sushiyuan.
He had two things to do today. The first was to prevent the opening of Taohua Dessert Shop, and the second was to temporarily use the title deed of Sushi Garden as collateral to take out one thousand and two taels of silver to fill Feng Chuan's hole first.
As the business was about to start, Tong Huaqiong bid farewell to the days of setting up stalls completely.
When Shopkeeper Feng came to Sushiyuan, he passed by Yanzhi Lane on purpose and saw that the former tavern had a sign of Peach Blossom Desserts hung up. The sign hurt his eyes.
The figures of people working in the shop were swaying.
Shopkeeper Feng had a sneer on his face and said, "You can be proud for just one more day. Tomorrow when the store opens, the reputation of Peach Blossom Dessert will completely collapse."
Widow Tong must get out of Yanguan Town with her bunch of cubs.
Crossing the street and arriving at Sushi Garden, Shopkeeper Feng's heart began beating faster for some reason.
The pastries from Sushiyuan have just come out of the oven, and the fragrance spreads across half the street.
There seemed to be quite a lot of people queuing.
"I'd be stupid to queue up to buy pastries. I'll endure it for a day. Peach Blossom Dessert will open tomorrow and they say there's a buy-one-get-one-free offer." Suddenly a pretty young lady in the crowd spoke up.
"Really? Will Peach Blossom Desserts really be free with a buy?" a girl asked.
"Of course, why would I lie to you? Aunt Tong is very generous. She offers free samples when she sets up her stall. What's more, she has a shop now." said the pretty young wife.
In an instant, the number of people queuing at Sushiyuan was reduced by half.
Manager Feng was furious. If Tong Huaqiong was not driven out of Yanguan Town, he would follow Tong Huaqiong and change his surname to Tong.
Liu Qiaoyun pulled Gu Xiaocao away from the crowd.
The two of them patted their pounding hearts, feeling a little nervous as it was their first time being a support person.
Tong Huaqiong thought that the shop would definitely need more staff after it opened, so she hired Liu Qiaoyun as a waiter.
Liu Qiaoyun didn't expect that her first day on the job would not be selling cakes, but working as a babysitter with Gu Xiaocao.
Shopkeeper Feng went up to the second floor of Sushiyuan with a grim face and entered his office.
He opened the drawer where the deeds and banknotes were kept.
When I opened it, I was shocked to find that the title deed and the banknote were gone.
He thought he had put it in the wrong place, so he opened all the drawers, but there was nothing inside.
His first reaction was that there was a thief in Sushiyuan.
Shopkeeper Feng called a reliable waiter over and asked if anyone had been to his room. The waiter said without knowing the truth that Feng Chuan and Feng's eldest brother and sister-in-law had been here and said they were getting something for Shopkeeper Feng, so he let them in.
Manager Feng's scalp exploded instantly and he fell into the chair.
"You little bastard, you bastard, you black-hearted and dirty guy..." Shopkeeper Feng cursed.
The guy was so scared that he didn't dare to move, thinking that someone was scolding him.
Shopkeeper Feng held his head high. Feng Chuan and his elder brother and sister-in-law thought that since he was the shopkeeper, Sushi Garden was his private property? That belonged to the boss Ma Ming!
If he didn't have the five hundred taels of silver note, he could still find a way to make up for it, but how could he explain to his employer that he had lost the land deed?
Shopkeeper Feng told himself to stay calm and to find Feng Chuan, but the more he tried to stay calm, the more his hands shook.
The waiter was terrified and kept asking the shopkeeper what was going on.
Shopkeeper Feng was annoyed by the question and slapped the waiter in the face, who ran away in fear.
"What should I do?"
Shopkeeper Feng took a sip of tea with trembling hands, telling himself to stay calm and think of a solution.
The only thing that made him feel a little relieved now was that his boss trusted him enough. As long as he kept the matter secret from his boss, he could still find Feng Chuan and save the situation in time.
Shopkeeper Feng stood up and called his trusted assistants to look for Feng Chuan separately.
At this time, someone hurried upstairs and shouted, "Boss, the boss is here."
