Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

When Zhou Wei heard that his servant was still gossiping and slandering his elder brother (Fukang'an), he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

In fact, he had been deducted several times before, but Zhou Wei endured it.

He understood that now there were only him and his grandmother at home. Although he would be an adult in a few years and would be able to protect his grandmother, he was still a half-grown child now.

Even when he was working as a handyman in the inn, it was only because the owner had a good relationship with his father that he was allowed to stay reluctantly.

So when things were not excessive before, Zhou Wei gritted his teeth and endured it.

He didn't want to trouble the shopkeeper for such a trivial matter.

Zhou Wei, who had experienced the ups and downs of life at a young age, knew that friendship was a matter of course, especially since he had no capital whatsoever.

The waiter was a vindictive person, and fussing about it would only make him bear a grudge, so I might as well just spend money to get rid of the disaster.

He didn't expect that his tolerance would be met with even more aggressiveness from the waiter, who only gave him ten cents this time.

The excuse was that he did not do his job well and the salary was deducted. He wanted to find the shopkeeper to find out what happened, but was stopped by the waiter.

There is nothing I cannot understand about this. It is obvious that the guy did it secretly.

Zhou Wei couldn't stand it anymore. The money was for his grandmother's medical treatment. The deductions made by him at other times were already too much. Now he only had ten cents, not even enough for the medicine.

If he doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid they will be left with nothing.

Zhou Wei was not surprised when the guy denied it right away, but he didn't expect the guy to be so shameless as to gossip about everything in front of his savior, and the gossip was completely fabricated.

"That's not the case. He often deducted my wages before, but I didn't care because it wasn't much. As a result, he only gave me ten cents this time."

"My grandma is still waiting for me to get medicine! But I can't even afford it."

Even when he was on the verge of death before, Zhou Wei stubbornly refused to cry, but this time he couldn't help crying. Once he started crying, it was like a floodgate had been opened and he couldn't stop.

"Please help me, save my grandma." Zhou Wei kept begging. He only had his grandma in this world, and they were the only ones who depended on each other.

Fu Kang'an nodded slightly. In fact, this matter is very easy to investigate.

"Hey, man, if you're innocent, you can tell from the account book. And with your salary, you shouldn't be able to drink so much."

The waiter's face changed. His salary was almost the same as Zhou Wei's, so it was easy to tell that it was not his salary that made him drunk all day, otherwise he would have been out of money long ago.

The truth will be revealed as long as you go to the place he often buys from and ask him.

The clerk was sweating profusely and didn't dare to take out the account book.

All they can do is say "it's against the rules" over and over again in a timid way in the hope of getting away with it.

There were many people gathered at the entrance of the inn, and even the innkeeper came out to find out what was going on.

"What's going on?" the shopkeeper asked with a dark face. What's wrong with this little guy? He can't do anything right.

"Uncle Li."

"Oh, Xiao Wei, you know that I always do business with honesty and integrity. I won't let you down."

"I know, Uncle Li, he is the one who did all this!" Zhou Wei pointed at the waiter and said.

Shopkeeper Li looked over in the direction of the voice. Xiaoshan?

Perhaps because of the commotion, Zhou Wei's emotions stabilized a lot and he took the initiative to explain the situation to the shopkeeper.

When he heard that it was his fellow man who did it, his face turned as pale as a color palette.

However, Shopkeeper Li is a well-known honest man in this area, so he was not panicked at all and was very open and frank.

Before this, Xiaoshan had always been trying to put Zhou Wei in a bad light in front of him.

But Shopkeeper Li turned a deaf ear to it, thinking that Xiaoshan was too petty.

But as time went by, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. This time when Zhou Wei came to ask for money, Manager Li's impression of him plummeted.

If it weren't for her father's sake, Shopkeeper Li would never have taken in this troublesome person.

"Is this true?" After listening carefully, Shopkeeper Li turned around and asked coldly.

"This...this shopkeeper, I..." The waiter was about to use his talking skills again, but the shopkeeper didn't buy it at all.

Fu Kang'an also readily took out the account book that he mentioned.

Originally he thought Zhou Wei was looking for trouble, but now it seems that his fellow soldiers were interfering.

Shopkeeper Li is a very shrewd man, and his eyes seem to be able to see through everything. When his eyes swept over the clerk in front of him, in just a moment, he caught the other's extremely guilty expression. This subtle change in expression may be difficult for ordinary people to detect, but it cannot escape Shopkeeper Li's keen observation.

The guy showed a smile that was uglier than crying and was thinking about how to get out of this situation.

Everything was fine before, why did it go wrong this time?

But he didn't think about the fact that he had at least had some sense before and left a way out for the grandparents and grandchildren. Although life was difficult, they could still survive.

But now, you want to cut off their survival, so naturally they will explode.

It can be considered a cycle of cause and effect.

Compared to Fu Kang'an, Shopkeeper Li obviously understands his clerk's temper better. To be honest, it is entirely possible for him to do so.

Seeing the waiter hesitating, Shopkeeper Li knew what was going on.

"How much did he give you?" The shopkeeper wanted to make up for Zhou Wei.

"He only gave me ten cents."

The shopkeeper looked at the dejected man with an indescribable look.

He is really brave. The gap is so big and he is not a fool, so how could he pass it so easily?

Shopkeeper Li didn't think much about it and directly returned the money belonging to Zhou Wei to him.

As for the follow-up, this guy will definitely not be able to escape paying back the money.

Zhou Wei looked at the heavy silver and money in his hand, his eyes curved with smile.

"Are you so happy?"

Zhou Wei nodded firmly. He didn't have any big ambitions, and even if he did, they were not within his reach at the moment.

But saving his grandma is his only obsession now, because he has nothing, because he only has his grandma.

Looking at the hard-earned money that was lost and then recovered, Zhou Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

The clerk felt heartbroken, and he realized that he could no longer argue because the shopkeeper had already made his choice.

"I'll give you a week to return everything." Shopkeeper Li whispered sinisterly in the clerk's ear, threateningly.

The guy's legs couldn't help but go weak.

He has never been able to save money, so where can he get the money now?

But this is not someone else's concern.

Qianlong also saw all of this. He admired children like Zhou Wei, who were indomitable and neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhou Wei expressed his gratitude to everyone. You know, it was Fukangan who saved him when he almost died.

"Xiao Wei, I'm so sorry. I thought before..." Shopkeeper Li looked apologetic.

Zhou Wei waved his hands, saying that Shopkeeper Li was also unaware of this matter.
