The invited shopkeeper Fu only drank by himself and kept talking, which made Hua's mother feel that Fu Jucai didn't have much sincerity.
Especially Fu Jucai always talks about flattering Hua's mother, as if they are really confidante, which makes Hua's mother feel a little uncomfortable.
"Old lady, I can't do it now. I'm already in my forties and my appearance is fading with age. If Mr. Fu thinks highly of me, let's have three drinks in a row to see if I still have the same charm as before."
Hua's mother found it really difficult to persuade Shopkeeper Fu. He kept drinking like this, maybe because he wanted to drink too much so that he could refuse other people's requests.
Then let him drink enough. Since he won't help anyway, it's useless to force him. Just think of it as catching up with him and not let him arouse suspicion.
"Your charm is still the same as before. Looking at you now, I don't dare to recognize you. The bad guy in my family has been dead for two years, and I am worried that I can't find a suitable one.
The reason why I am so excited today is really because you are back. Let me drink as much as you want, let alone three drinks, and let you see if I am still the same Fu Jucai I was back then! "
While talking, shopkeeper Fu really drank three drinks in a row. This time he drank a little too much. He looked at Mother Hua with drunken eyes, which made both Yu Chenglong and Yinping a little unhappy.
Although Fu Jucai was invited by Hua's mother, he just used an excuse to drink more and didn't consider the feelings of the guests at all. He was obviously afraid that Hua's mother would ask for something from him.
Shopkeeper Fu's behavior is very incomprehensible. If he is afraid that others will ask for something from him and it will be over if he doesn't agree, why would he use alcohol to escape like this?
There is a fly that always flies around on the table and cannot be driven away. It is very annoying. Shopkeeper Fu was even more angry, waving his hands with drunken eyes and rushing more frequently.
At this time, the fly flew on the dish again, and Shopkeeper Fu went to catch it away angrily, but the fly seemed to be deliberately against it. As soon as everyone shooed it away, it flew away, stopped and flew back. Shopkeeper Fu became more and more angry, and hit it hard, and the fly flew away. to the wall.
Seeing this, Yu Chenglong slapped his chopsticks on the table, and one of the chopsticks hit the wall like flying. The fly disappeared, leaving only a small black spot.
"You! The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared. I have long realized that you are not ordinary people. You are respectable, respectable! You have to admire me!"
Shopkeeper Fu looked a little surprised. He stood up crookedly but respectfully, holding a wine glass to toast Mama Hua, Yu Chenglong, and Yinping.
"I have known for a long time that Hua girl, after you leave the world as a righteous man, you will not eat from others. Today I have opened my eyes. You are all heroes.
But recently I heard that Dulong Mountain has defected to the Japanese. Aren't you sent by the Japanese to steal my business? Haha...just kidding, I think flower girls are definitely not like that. "
Although shopkeeper Fu was a little trembling, he spoke very clearly. Only then did Hua's mother realize that Fu Jucai suspected that he was a person sent by Dulong Mountain.
"Brother Fu, where do you want to go? I left Dulong Mountain ten years ago. The old shopkeeper is gone, and I can't survive there. I have such a bad temper.
A few years ago, the three of us had a one-on-one fight, just to make ends meet. Now that I came to Jiangyuan, I also wanted to settle down here and live a stable life.
But don’t hide it, big brother, life is hard! I know that my elder brother has a wide range of connections. Help me find out. The Japanese have grain depots, military horse farms, and ammunition depots here. They are so fat!
My eldest brother helped me take a trip to see how I was prepared. The three of us mothers have to spend some money to live a better life, right? "
Although Mother Hua's words were very relaxed, her eyes were looking directly at Shopkeeper Fu. This made Shopkeeper Fu immediately become cautious and his voice became serious.
"Your beautiful sister still has the same temper. She goes straight and does whatever she wants. Let me tell you straight, I hate the Japanese too!
Since they arrived, where are the merchants coming and going? Not to mention that business is not good, they also levy taxes on this and that from time to time, and even the big car shops can no longer open.
If you can deal with them, I support it with all my hands! You know the police chief of our county is a relative of mine. To be honest, he is also dissatisfied with the Japanese.
I can go and inquire with him, and the news I get back will satisfy you. I just want to advise Sister Hua that the Japanese are really hard to mess with, so you should be more careful! "
Shopkeeper Fu didn't pour the wine into his mouth this time. He spoke to the three of them and kept looking at their expressions. It seemed that he really didn't drink too much.
"Don't worry, Brother Fu! I won't play with my own life. I won't do it without full confidence. Sister, I have never made a mistake in all these years.
It's just that you, Brother Fu, have to be careful. Don't wait until work starts. If you get away from me first, then you won't be able to stand up to the big girl! "
Hua's mother also stared straight at Shopkeeper Fu, but Shopkeeper Fu didn't look panicked. He patted his chest and made a promise.
"Don't think I look carefree on the outside, but I know the seriousness on the other side. Sister, don't worry."
"If I couldn't trust you, I wouldn't come to you. Well, you guys, let's drink less. After dinner, you go and do things. We also have things to do.
But we will still meet here in the evening. The food in this place is good and quite affordable. When the time comes, the big girl will accompany you to have a good drink and get drunk! "
Mother Hua no longer persuaded the shopkeeper to drink, but instead asked the waiter to bring the staple food. After several people finished eating together, they separated and went to do their own things.
At dusk, the four of them gathered at the "big archway" to meet again. The wine was still the same as at noon, but the dishes were changed a few times, and the atmosphere was more harmonious than at noon.
"We have to have a good drink this time. This wine is delicious. I'll treat you to dinner, and things went well for lunch. Are you happy? I have to treat tonight's guests, so don't argue with me!"
As soon as shopkeeper Fu sat down, he was vying for treats, with a satisfied smile on his face. Mother Hua was obviously very happy, but she still felt that she should be the one to treat the meal.
"Brother, don't be like this. You help us with things, and I have to treat the guests."
"I said I would treat him, so I had to treat him. Why does the beautiful girl look down on my elder brother? Only when I treat him can I feel at ease and drink well."
The food and wine were served, and the four of them chatted while eating. This time, shopkeeper Fu didn't just drink by himself like he did at noon. Instead, he talked about business before drinking.
"Before I drink too much, let me tell you that after noon today, I went to chat with a few friends who I usually keep close contact with, and I actually found out some things.
These situations are all true. I will tell you truthfully and put forward some of my own ideas for your reference. I hope you will make the right choice carefully. "
