The life of a villain in a courtyard

Chapter 193 The Tavern is Closing

"How's it going? Did you find it?"

Qiangzi shouted towards the cellar. This concerned his future and he had no choice but to take it seriously.

"Director Wang, there's nothing down there! We've been cheated."

"This, this is impossible! How could there be nothing? Bring me a torch, and I will go down and take a look too."

Qiangzi jumped down with a torch and carefully checked every corner of the cellar. He was almost digging three feet into the ground, but still found nothing.

After he climbed up, Director Wang's face turned completely black. Not only him, but everyone was waiting for Qiangzi to give them an explanation.

"Qiangzi, what else do you have to say? We didn't come all the way here just for you to play tricks on us."

Cold sweat broke out on Qiangzi's forehead. If he couldn't find anything today, his future would be over.

"Director Wang, I am absolutely not mistaken. Xu Huizhen must be brewing wine here. Let's check it out. There is a well over there. The stuff must be hidden in it."

"That's enough, do I look like a fool to you?"

Director Wang yelled at Qiangzi to stand still.

"We don't have time to fool around with you here, let's go!"

"Director Wang, Director Wang, there must be a misunderstanding here, there must be a misunderstanding. Please wait a moment, let's look for it again, we will definitely find it!"

Qiangzi followed them and kept explaining, but Director Wang didn't want to listen to a word, so he simply ordered people to tie him up and gag him, and then deal with him slowly when he returned.

Although the people have left, the mess they left behind still needs to be cleaned up.

Grandpa Sun looked at the mess on the floor and shook his head without saying anything. He took a broom and cleaned up the house that was destroyed by this group of people bit by bit.

All the good bowls and plates were thrown on the ground and broke into pieces. He felt sad when he saw it. He had been frugal all his life and hated people who wasted things. If this was his own child, he would definitely beat him three times a day.

"What the hell is this!"

Just one hour after Qiangzi and others left, a head stuck in from outside. Seeing that only Grandpa Sun was in the yard, he felt relieved.

"Uncle Sun, have those people left?"

"They've all left. Don't worry, come back. They've been gone for more than half an hour. They won't be back. It's just that this yard has been ruined by them."

"It's nothing. Anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal. We'll count what was smashed later, and then tell Boss Xu and ask her to add more for you."

The person who spoke was Xiao Liu, one of the three winemakers.

"This, this is not good. Boss Xu provided me with a place to stay and gave me money..."

It can be seen that he was very moved, but also felt a little guilty.

"That's what you deserve. We work for her, and it's reasonable for her to give us money to eat. You don't have to feel sorry for her."

"Yes, Uncle Sun, the yard was smashed this time because someone informed on you. It's not your fault. Why should you be embarrassed?"

"You are right. Where are the things? They have already left. Send them back quickly so as not to delay the next round of drinking."

Xu Huizhen had anticipated that this day would come, so she prepared an ox cart in advance and left a backup in the woods not far from the courtyard. If anything went wrong, she could move the wine-making pot away as quickly as possible, leaving them empty-handed.

"Please pack first. I'll go back and bring the things back."

Grandpa Sun swept all the broken things together and came to the recliner. The recliner was thrown out by them when they searched the house just now. Several pieces of wood were broken and it could no longer be used.

"Master Sun, how are you? You are not injured! How did you get injured?"

Xu Huizhen came to visit Grandpa Sun and saw that one side of his face was swollen with a handprint on it, and one of his nostrils was stuffed with paper to stop the bleeding. These bastards were really rough.

"They hit me for a bit, but it won't affect anything. I'll be fine in two days."

"This won't work. There's nothing at all. Go find Doctor Chen! Ask him to come and take a look."

Doctor Chen is an old Chinese medicine doctor. He opened a clinic near Zhengyangmen before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, the Bald Faction robbed the clinic before leaving, causing it to close. He is a regular customer of the tavern.

"Oh, no, no, I'm an old man and I'm not that precious. I don't need to see a doctor for this minor injury. I will be fine after two days of rest."

"That won't do. You were injured because of me. I can't just ignore you if something happens to you."

Xu Huizhen spoke in a firm tone, and Grandpa Sun was moved and nodded without saying anything more.

Not long after, Cai Quanwu came to the courtyard with a gray-haired old man in his sixties who was carrying a small box on his back.

"Sorry to bother you, Doctor Chen."

"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. If Xu Huizhen has anything to do, I, the old man, will definitely come. When you drink tonight, remember to leave me half a pound of sweet potato wine. I didn't get it yesterday."

After saying that, he checked Grandpa Sun's injuries.

"He's fine, he just fell down and got slapped. He'll be fine after a good rest. He doesn't need to take any medicine."

Xu Huizhen asked Cai Quanwu to send Dr. Chen away, and then began to count the damaged items in the house. Almost everything usable in the house was smashed.

"Master Sun, don't worry. I'll have someone make you another recliner when I get back."

Xu Huizhen knew that the old man usually liked to lie in a chair, bask in the sun and take a nap.

"This, this is such a waste. Two pieces of wood are broken off this chair. It can be used after repairing it."

"Master Sun, you're welcome. This is what you deserve."

……

"Boss, what did you say? Are you planning to close the tavern?"

Xu Huizhen nodded. Yesterday, Fan Jinyou came. Today, Qiangzi came. What about tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow?

She won't be so lucky every time. Sooner or later she will be caught.

I can't keep acting like a thief, right? I might as well close the tavern and save myself the trouble.

"You don't have to say anything, I have made up my mind."

Then he asked Cai Quanwu to hang a sign at the door saying that the shop was for sale.

Everyone sighed. Since she had made the decision, then let it be. After all, the pub belonged to someone else and they were just workers. Even if they were sent by the neighborhood office, it would be useless.

"Boss Xu, are you going to close the store?"

"Yes, Doctor Chen, the pub can no longer be opened."

"Hey! One less place to drink and relieve boredom."

The door of the tavern was pushed open forcefully. The person who came in was Chen Xueru.

Just now, Fan Jinyou saw the notice of the shop for sale outside the tavern, and immediately ran over to tell Chen Xueru the news, intending to cheer her up.

"What did you say? The tavern is closing?"

"Yeah, there's a notice on the door. That's good. The tavern is closing. No one will stand against you anymore. Hey, where are you going?"

Inside the tavern, Chen Xueru looked anxious: "Xu Huizhen, the tavern is doing well, why is it closing all of a sudden?"

"Eh!"

Xu Huizhen sighed deeply and told Chen Xueru everything that had happened today.

"Qiangzi, you bastard! Just wait, I'm going to find Fan Jinyou to vent your anger for you."

"Hey, wait."

When she reacted, only Chen Xueru's back was left.

Although Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen are rivals, they have developed feelings for each other after being rivals for so many years. It's a bit like a pair of bickering lovers. Although they usually try to sabotage each other, they will definitely stand up for each other when something really happens.

"You're back. I thought you would stay there for a while. How about being happy? Xu Huizhen has been your enemy for so many years and now it's finally closing down. Back when she was making steel, she deliberately kept a truckload of iron pots to put you ahead of the director of the street office. Now it's her retribution."

"Let me ask you, what's wrong with Qiangzi? Why does he know about the food?"

"this!"

Fan Jinyou stammered and couldn't say anything, but he was the one who let everything out.

"Huh! It's you."

When Chen Xueru saw his expression, she knew it was him who leaked the information.

"I, I didn't mean it."

"You are really good at making trouble instead of helping others! Who else knows about this?"

"Besides Qiangzi, the only one left is Pianye. I'll go get him now."

Fan Jinyou planned to divert the firepower.

"return!"

He had only taken two steps out when he was stopped.

"Pian'erye will not betray Xu Huizhen. If he wanted to go, he would have gone long ago. Go find Qiangzi."
