303- They Were All Hired! (都是雇来的!)
Note: Jiang Wen Xing = Father Jiang, but Mother Jiang remains as Mother Jiang
Jiang Xia’s question pletely fueled the rage and frustration in Jiang Wen Xing’s heart. He randomly reached out to grab a recently purchased Zi Sha pot 1 before smashing it onto the ground.
“How would I know what’s going on? Bastard, actually opening at this kind of timing, this is practically going against me on purpose!” Jiang Wen Xing bellowed. (Kyo: i mean, even if they weren’t, who the fuck cares about the well-being of their petition? More like the opposite)
That shop space was bought more than two months ago, but it had been under renovations ever since. He had been watching them every day, but because there weren’t any movements, he didn’t really take it to heart. (Kyo: excuse me? What even?)
Because the position of that shop was really too bad, its surroundings were cold and void of people, while at the same time being slightly hard to access. Unfortunately, who knew that there would be so many people at its grand opening? The constant stream of cars attracted the gazes of many people, and just now, there were already several of his regulars who went in!
“What did you smash that pot for? Does it not cost money? You think that because this money isn’t what you earned yourself so you’re not heartbroken?” When Mother Jiang saw the Zi Sha pot in smithereens, she couldn’t help but feel her flesh ache at the loss.
Jiang Wen Xing’s expression turned ugly.
He has given quite a sum to this tea house.
Previously, the three families who had their family members poisoned wanted a remuneration of 600,000 yuan and the things that were broken had been worth quite a bit, amounting up to a few tens of thousands. Apart from that, there hadn’t been much profit these past two months, but the shop’s expenses hadn’t gone down by a single cent. Including the water bills, electricity bills, staff wages…
For the sake of warming up business again, he even packed some good tea and delivered it to his regulars for free. However, the result was that they were all returned without anything taken from it, his regulars saying that they didn’t dare to drink it.
He was practically depressed to death, it was just tea, what was there not to dare? They obviously loved it in the past!
Wasn’t it just an accident for putting the wrong thing and didn’t it only happen just once? Did it deserve such fear? Some even walked further away when they passed by his shopfront! Truly hateful! (Kyo: where are your business ethics…)
Now, because the newly bought tea pots and tools were all from his wife’s fashion boutique’s profits, the disparity in his mind was huge. As a man, he was unwilling to hear such words from his wife.
“Isn’t it just a broken pot? When business gets better, it’ll be earned back in no time!” Jiang Wen Xing spoke gloomily.
Mother Jiang rolled her eyes, “But can this business still get better? Look at others bully us till our front gates! And you’re even better, only knowing how to throw things. Even if a customer came in, they’d run away the moment they see this look of yours!”
“You’re my wife, how could you say such disheartening words? If it weren’t for you signing those IOU’s previously, I wouldn’t have had to pay so much! 600,000 yuan, One large wave of your hand gave away 600,000 yuan! Do you know how much effort I’d have to put in for me to be able to earn back this sum of money?!”
The moment Mother Jiang heard his accusation, she immediately felt wronged.
Even though the matter had happened a long while ago, but thinking back to the happenings of that day, she still felt her entire body shiver in fear!
“You still dare to mention it…The main point is still because of you! If you didn’t recognise the wrong medical herb then nothing would have happened! Plus, do you think I want to write those IOU’s? Isn’t it all because Xiao Xia was being beaten up by others? He’s your son, don’t you feel pained? Could it be you want to see those people beat up Xiao Xia till he bees an invalid?” Mother Jiang continued shouting, not to be outdone.
Jiang Xia didn’t have intentions to butt in because this couple had been arguing non stop recently, he’d bee used to it.
But now, his mother had dragged him in, he was very annoyed.
Him being beaten up by others, was it such a pleasant thing that was worthy of being spread around? To always bring it up, wasn’t she trying to make him lose face on purpose? Although there were no customers in the shops, the staff were still present. How were they going to look at him?
“Dad, Mom, stop fighting!” Jiang Xia frowned. “Isn’t it just a new tea house opening up? Wouldn’t it solve things if we just go over and see? You never know, the people inside might all be hired actors!” (Kyo: when are you going to stop being a dumbass)
