I became the villain's deceased wife

Chapter 73 Uninvited Guest

"Someone wants to hire me as an accountant, with a salary of three taels of silver per month."

After hesitating for a long time, Xie Yunzhe finally spoke.

This matter can be traced back to last month when the Xie family’s house was burned down.

At that time, Song Tian exposed the fact that Xie Bocheng had bribed a swindler to remove him and his brother from the family tree. Fifth uncle Xie Boyong went back to uphold justice and punished Xie Bocheng, who had evil intentions.

Later, he found an opportunity to have a good talk with Wu Bogong and asked him if he could help him find a living.

He had already quit his job at the foot trade and was avoiding Huang Jiadong everywhere.

Wu Bogong did not make a clear statement, but only said that he would keep an eye on it for him when he returned to the county.

Later, there was no movement.

He felt that Xie Boyong was just a teacher in an academy and might not have any connections in this area.

But a few days ago, when he went out to buy goods for the shop, someone came to him with a letter written by Xie Boyong himself.

It was said that a bookstore was in need of an accountant, and Master Xie from Qingshan Academy recommended him and asked him if he was willing to go.

Tiantian Restaurant is busy, and Xie Yunzhe said he would reply to him after a while.

Yesterday, that person came to him again to urge him.

He said that if he couldn't go in July, the boss would find someone else.

Although he was happy to help out in the shop, he couldn't really rely on his wife to support him in the world.

Besides, it was a family bookstore. If I really had the opportunity to take the imperial examination in the future, it would be more convenient for me to read and study.

"This is a good thing, why don't you want to go?"

Song Tian locked her piggy bank and spoke without raising her head.

Xie Yunzhe was still hesitating.

He didn't really have to go.

“The business of our shop is booming now, and you can’t handle it all by yourself.

Besides, I am more clear about the calculations.”

He actually wanted Song Tian to keep him.

After all, you have to collect money and settle accounts everywhere. Song Tian runs her own shop, so she feels at ease finding someone with a solid foundation to manage the money.

What's more, he is her husband.

In fact, Song Tian was a little reluctant to let him go.

Nowadays, there are more and more diners in the small shop, and everyone is very busy.

If Xie Yunzhe really left, she would have to find someone new.

"Then you decide for yourself.

The weather is hot now, and many people like to eat cold noodles, but once autumn comes and the weather cools down, I'm afraid it won't be so busy anymore."

After counting the money today, she was in a very good mood.

Let Xie Yunzhe worry about his own affairs. She couldn’t guess what the boss was thinking anyway.

She hummed a song as she washed up and went to bed soundly.

The next day, Xie Yunzhe was still collecting and keeping accounts with a clear conscience, and did not mention working as an accountant in the bookstore at all.

He felt that Song Tian didn't care about him at all!

If he just left like this, this heartless girl would probably forget about him.

He decided to help her in the shop so as to cultivate the relationship between husband and wife.

But in the afternoon, an uninvited guest came to the store.

Song Tian was outside the door greeting the waiting guests with melons and tea when suddenly several guards on tall horses came. She recognized the one leading them.

It was Seventeen who was riding a horse and hit Xie Yunzhe when he was injured.

"Mr. Huang is going to have dinner here, everyone outside please leave immediately!"

Seeing this situation, the crowd fled in panic.

When Seventeen drew his sword and announced his name, even the people who were eating in the hall ran away.

Song Tian was angry and anxious, and went up to him to argue:

"I am doing business in broad daylight. If you dare to mess around again, I will report you to the police!"

Without even looking at her, Shiqilian threw a fifty-liang silver ingot on the ground:

"Mr. Huang is here to have a meal. Even if we reserve your place today, shouldn't the shopkeeper treat you well?"

As he said this, he got off the horse, turned around and helped someone down from the low-key and luxurious carriage.

It was undoubtedly Huang Jiadong.

Song Tian did not pick up the silver on the ground, but stared at him tensely, and stood in front of Xie Yunzhe who was going out to check the situation.

"What are you here for?"

Huang Jiadong still applied thick powder and painted his lips scarlet.

But in the June weather now, a lot of sweat appeared on his face, washing away the poor quality perfume powder of this era, one line after another, looking a little scary.

“Haha, don’t be nervous, Madam Song, I just came to see how Xie Lang is doing!”

He had almost forgotten about the couple.

But yesterday I heard for no reason that there is a very popular Liangpi shop here. It is opened by a young couple, the woman is called Song Tian and the man is called Xie Yunzhe.

The dead memories came back to life, and it just so happened that there was no suitable young prostitute for him to favor recently.

I just wanted to tease her a little.

"Tsk, tsk, is this how you raise my Xie Lang?"

Huang Jiadong stood beside the carriage, looking like he didn't want to take another step forward.

He looked around and pinched his nose with disgust.

Song Tian was furious:

"How I support my husband is none of Mr. Huang's business.

Since you think my place is dirty, why don't you move somewhere else to avoid polluting your eyes!"

She thought that after a month, Mr. Huang should have forgotten about them.

I didn't expect that he would be a lingering ghost.

Huang Jiadong didn't get angry when he heard her sarcastic tone. Instead, he smiled softly and said to Xie Yunzhe:

"Xie Lang is a seven-foot-tall man after all, but he is willing to hide behind a little woman?

I heard that this small shop is run by your wife, so you can only collect money and settle the bill.

Fortunately, I thought you were smart and capable, and would achieve great things in the future. At least you were capable of finding out who framed your father.

Now it seems that I was wrong!"

These words are not very hurtful, but for someone like Xie Yunzhe who thinks he is noble, they are a bit insulting.

He pushed away Song Tian who was blocking his way and walked out.

"A real man can bend and stretch. Mr. Huang, please don't worry about how Mr. Xie is doing now.

This is a restaurant. If Mr. Huang doesn't like my wife's cooking skills, please take your guards and leave to avoid disturbing the diners."

"Hahaha...what a flexible person!"

Huang Jiadong laughed sarcastically.

"I have seen how you bend, but how can you stretch yourself?"

He looked at Xie Yunzhe with a playful expression.

"Now that you have no achievements and no livelihood, do you rely on your wife's shabby little shop?"

Xie Yunzhe clenched his fists.

Huang Jiadong turned around and took a piece of paper from Seventeen:

“I know you don’t want to follow me, but I, Huang Jiadong, am not an ordinary person because I have built up this family business.

If you can put aside your previous prejudices and work under me, I guarantee that you will become successful within three years.

Whether you want to enter government or do business is entirely up to you!"

As he said this, he placed the paper on the chair next to him where customers were waiting, smiled at Xie Yunzhe, turned around and got on the carriage.

"go!"

He ordered in a lazy tone.

Seventeen waved his hand, and four or five guards mounted their horses and turned away neatly.

"and many more!"

Song Tian shouted, bent down to pick up the fifty taels of silver he had just thrown, chased after him and stuffed it into Seventeen's hand.

"No merit, no reward. Since Mr. Huang of your family hasn't eaten, I can't accept this money."

Seventeen looked at the carriage, not knowing whether to take it.

Huang Jiadong snorted:

"You little girl have some backbone, better than your gigolo husband!"

Having said that, he asked the person to leave.

Song Tian turned to look at Xie Yunzhe and found that he was holding the piece of paper and reading its contents carefully.
