This matter should not be publicized. Liu Mo originally wanted to find a place for Xiner to live and raise the baby in peace.
However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Within a few days, everyone in the store knew about it.
Although everything was business as usual on the surface, privately, some people had already started whispering.
In ancient times, when there was a lack of entertainment, whenever there was some "news", it would naturally be talked about after dinner. It’s estimated that it won’t be long before word spreads completely.
It doesn't matter who made the news, because a situation that made Liu Mo even more troublesome emerged.
The rumors caused by this incident were far more serious than expected and were out of control.
By chance, Liu Mo even heard his man say, "Is the child in her belly my uncle's?"
The reason is simple. That night, after serving Liu Mo, a "professional" old lady took care of it.
The girls in the fireworks land of Linyang City rely on these "professional" mothers to avoid the "risk" of pregnancy.
Another one, just one night, just once.
Hit the mark?
Therefore, these people speculated that the flesh and blood in Xin'er's belly did not belong to Liu Mo.
Such rumors are simply outrageous. Is he going to open the door to outrageousness? It's so outrageous.
Since Xin'er followed him, she has been in "Jingshui Pavilion" and has no contact with other men at all.
How could it be possible that Liu Mo was cheated?
His subordinates could tolerate spreading such rumors. Everyone knew what kind of person Xin'er was. What Liu Mo was worried about was how much trouble would happen if someone with evil intentions heard about it.
Sure enough, the more he worried about something, the more likely it would happen, and his worries came true.
About ten days later, Xin'er's "relative" Zhao Da personally went to "Xiangyuan Village" but could not find his relatives. At such a time, he came to Rongcheng "by coincidence".
What's even more "coincident" is that as soon as we arrived in Rongcheng, we directly found "Jingshui Pavilion"!!!
~~~
The two of them were riding in a bullock cart, and the wheels made a lot of noise.
Among them, the middle-aged man got out of the car first, walked three steps at a time to Xiang Wu, hugged him as if he was seeing his long-lost son, and almost broke all the bones in Xiang Wu's body. Only then did Xiang Wu recognize out of each other.
"Boy, you have changed so much that my second uncle almost doesn't recognize you." The middle-aged man who called himself Uncle Xiang Wu looked at him carefully and then laughed loudly.
Xin'er was standing next to Liu Mo at this time, and he could clearly see the displeasure on Xin'er's expression.
Liu Mo remembered that Xin'er once told him that this second uncle's name was Xiang Fanghua, who got married and had children when she was three years old, and separated from her father.
Her grandmother doted on her young son and gave most of the family property to her second uncle Xiang Fanghua.
This second uncle was also "filial" enough. He left Xiangyuan Village after receiving the family property and has never been back since then.
Xiner is three years old and Xiang Wu is six years old. More than ten years later, I can still recognize...
Not only that, but he could also find "Jingshui Pavilion" at the first time by "coincidence".
There is only one explanation, and there is "advice from an expert" behind it!
"The person who came here is evil!" Liu Mo sighed in his heart.
Xin'er was not stupid, so she naturally saw the signs. Out of instinct, she leaned towards Liu Mo, trying to find a sense of security.
When Xiang Wu was awkwardly chatting with his second uncle, a middle-aged woman with a high forehead and a plump forehead got off the bullock cart.
With such a look, one can tell at a glance that she is not a tough woman to be trifled with.
"Who is our niece-in-law?" she asked.
Xiang Wu forced out a smile and then pointed at Liu Mo.
"Second uncle, second aunt, I am Liu Mo!"
"Ha, what a talent!" said the middle-aged woman, "The boss and I have been on the road since early in the morning. We will be cold and tired now. My niece and son-in-law, have you arranged a place for us to rest?"
Good guy, you really dare to speak.
"Yes, niece-in-law, please warm me up with a pot of daughter's red warmer." Xiang Fanghua said unceremoniously.
Liu Mo stared at each other coldly. Such two relatives were an eye-opener for him.
Xiang Wu hesitated and said, "Second uncle, second aunt, this is not appropriate..."
"What's inappropriate? We've come all the way to see you two brothers and sisters. Why aren't you welcome?"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoqi couldn't bear it anymore and was about to object, but Liu Mo stopped him and said, "Of course you're welcome."
The country of Daxia is governed by filial piety. When parents pass away, uncles act like their parents.
Since these two people had been instructed, they naturally came prepared. Liu Mo didn't want to break up so quickly in public.
"You are my niece-in-law's waiter, right?" Xiang Wenhua said, throwing his luggage to Wang Xiaoqi, "help me get it to the room. Oh, and also, pay for the ox cart together. ”
"What?" Wang Xiaoqi was so angry that his teeth started to itch.
Liu Mo stepped forward and said softly, "Follow my second uncle's instructions."
When the second aunt saw this situation, she also threw her luggage towards Wang Xiaoqi and snorted heavily at the same time. "You slaves, my niece-in-law treats you so well. You are so gentle!"
After saying that, the two of them walked straight into "Jingshui Pavilion" without looking back.
"Uncle?" Zhao Da couldn't stand it anymore.
Liu Mo stretched out two fingers to signal the two of them to calm down, "Don't panic, don't be anxious!" He said, "You go about your business first, I will take care of everything."
The two men swaggered up to the second floor, picked the best seats, and sat down.
Liu Mo whispered to Wang Xiaoer and then followed him upstairs.
Seeing Liu Mo go upstairs, Xiang Wenhua said: "Niece-in-law, what is the signature dish in this shop? Let the chef give us one. I haven't even had a bite so far this morning, and my stomach is full. I’m so hungry.”
"Second uncle, my 'Jingshui Pavilion' doesn't have a signature dish. Recently, customers eat more grilled sausages and fried chicken."
"Then bring it up quickly." The second aunt said quickly.
Liu Mo kept his expression and ordered the chef to serve it.
The two people grabbed the grilled sausage and fried chicken and started to devour it. "Not bad, not bad, it tastes really good." The second aunt licked her fingers and said, "Imagine that I can eat this stuff every day. It's really a fairy life."
every day? Liu Mo sneered.
"Second uncle and second aunt can do whatever they think is good."
"Haha, this niece-in-law is pretty good." Xiang Wenhua said with a smile, "If there are any other delicacies, let's bring them as well. By the way, there's also daughter's red, have you permed it?"
"There's also beer skewers, which is much better than that daughter's red."
"Beer? It's interesting. Hurry up."
After the things were delivered, Liu Mo pulled up a stool, sat down, and quietly watched the two people's ugly eating looks.
"Second uncle, second aunt, are you still used to eating?"
"Not bad!" Xiang Wenhua said with satisfaction.
"That's it." Liu Mo put away his smile, "There are fifteen sausages in total, each one costs thirty cents, which is four hundred and fifty cents in total. Four portions of fried chicken, each one costs one hundred cents, which is four hundred cents. .
Eleven bottles of beer, each bottle costs fifty cents, totaling five hundred and fifty cents, and thirty-five skewers. All together, the total is sixteen hundred cents. "
If on earth. Liu Mo will definitely say, Alipay or WeChat?
Hearing this, the two people blushed with anger.
"My niece-in-law, do you care if we ask for money?" The second aunt was the first to attack.
"Yes, we are Xin'er's uncle and aunt. Her parents died early, so we are this girl's parents."
"Second uncle and second aunt have taught you a lesson." Liu Mo pretended to apologize, "Since he is Xin'er's uncle and aunt, he must not be treated like an ordinary customer. This period of meal can naturally be regarded as taking care of the wind and dust for the two elders."
"That's true." The second uncle snorted coldly, "Niece-in-law, the second uncle is a little tired. Is the wing ready?"
"Back to my second uncle, I, 'Jingshui Pavilion', don't do inn business." Liu Mo said, "I'd like you two to go and stay at other inns on your own."
"What's the inn business? I'm your second aunt. Is there any problem with arranging accommodation for us?"
"It's Xin'er's second aunt." Liu Mo corrected. "Here are ten taels of silver. You two elders can take it. If you need help with anything in the future, if I have the ability, I, Liu Mo, will do my best."
"Huh? Do you want to take ten taels of silver to beat us away?"
"In other words," Liu Mo said, "I, you two, are new to Rongcheng and are not familiar with the place. If you want to make a living, you can work for me. In terms of wages, I, Liu Mo, will not treat you badly."
"Doing something? You want us to do something for you?"
"Otherwise? This is the rule of my 'Jingshui Pavilion'." Liu Mo said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you two elders. My Liu Mo's wife, Lin Shiqi, is in charge of the accounting room in this store. Xin'er is in charge of the kitchen, and my brother-in-law Xiang Wu I’m also helping in the kitchen and delivering food.”
"Huh, we two are old and frail and can't do it."
No need to guess, you two are just here to cause trouble.
Liu Mo's face darkened, and he held back his anger and said, "If that's the case, then you can't blame me, Liu Mo. After this feast, take the money and let's go!"
As he spoke, he turned his head and called Zhao Da, "Send off the guests!"
