After sending all the guests out, the shopkeeper looked around blankly and sighed with relief. "School is finally starting."
With that said, the shopkeeper, who was tired after a long day, sat directly on the steps to rest.
"Hey, shopkeeper Tong, why are you sitting here?" Lao Xing, who was about to walk in, asked curiously when he saw shopkeeper Tong sitting alone at the door.
When the shopkeeper saw Lao Xing coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him. "Sorry, we're already closed."
Lao Xing was also a little confused when he heard Shopkeeper Tong's direct eviction order, but he was an old acquaintance.
"Why are you closing? What time is it?"
With that said, Lao Xing walked directly past shopkeeper Tong, but he was met by a rough-faced and thunder-mouthed waiter waving a stick.
"Hey!" The other party made a gesture of wanting to hit him.
"Ah! Who is it?" Lao Xing was frightened and hurriedly drew his knife.
"Master, that's Brother Bai." Xiao Liu, who was following Lao Xing, quickly reminded him.
Just before entering the inn, Lao Xing stopped letting Xiao Liu support him.
"Ah?" After hearing Xiao Liu's reminder, Lao Xing looked seriously at the man in front of him who looked like a six-eared macaque.
"Lao Xing, is it me?" Lao Bai also said with a smile.
Hearing the real voice of Lao Bai, Lao Xing breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Xiao Guo and the others also greeted Lao Xing.
"Hi!"
Lao Xing Xunxun was also shocked. He had only been away for a day, but how could the house have changed completely?
"Hi." Lao Xing also greeted somewhat unnaturally. "Why are you all dressed like this?"
The shopkeeper on the side explained with a smile.
"Xiao Bei is going to school, and they are all followers."
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Lao Xing understood, but he said indifferently. "Just go ahead, why bother with all this?"
With that said, Lao Xing, who had been tired for a day, walked directly to his usual seat, poured a bowl of water and drank it.
Shopkeeper Tong sat down with Lao Xing, and as for Xiao Liu, of course he stood like Lao Bai and the others.
Lao Xing took a sip of water to quench his thirst for the day, and said with a clear understanding. "Oh, are you worried that Xiaobei will be bullied by other classmates?"
It can be said that the speaker was unintentional, but the listener sounded intentional. When the shopkeeper heard that Xiaobei might be bullied by his classmates, he immediately became worried.
"Come here, come here, please stop what you are doing. What do you think Xiaobei should do if he is bullied by his classmates?" the shopkeeper asked worriedly as he greeted everyone.
Xiucai looked at Lao Bai and Xiao Guo and quickly replied in a low voice. "With their protection, it's good that Xiaobei won't bully other classmates."
"That's not necessarily true. We are allowed to bring bodyguards, but others are not allowed to bring bodyguards?" the shopkeeper retorted.
"Do you think everyone is the same as you?" Lao Bai complained at the side, but the shopkeeper glanced at him and he didn't dare to speak.
Suddenly, the shopkeeper seemed to have thought of something, and quickly looked at Lao Xing with a smile, with evil intentions in his eyes.
"Captain Xing, come on, come on!" the shopkeeper said kindly, holding Lao Xing's hand.
Every time Lao Xing saw Shopkeeper Tong like this, he knew that nothing good would happen. He quickly shook off Shopkeeper Tong's hand and said sternly.
"Shopkeeper Tong, we have something to talk about. Can we stop arguing like this?"
Lao Xing broke away from the shopkeeper's hand, and the shopkeeper didn't care. She continued to put her hand on Lao Xing's shoulder and said with a smile.
"In the blink of an eye, we have known each other for two years, right?"
Seeing the intimate look between Lao Xing and the shopkeeper, Lao Bai on the side was so stunned that his eyes widened. Xiao Liu looked at Lao Bai scratching his head and couldn't help but smile in his heart, these three people are really guilty.
And Lao Xing looked at Shopkeeper Tong's affectionate look, even though he was talking. "Shopkeeper Tong, if you have any questions, just say it directly. Can we stop beating around the bush like this?"
But his hand touched Shopkeeper Tong's hand very honestly.
Shopkeeper Tong did not choose to pull away. Lao Bai looked at the two of them holding hands together and his eyes widened. Xiao Liu looked at him as if he was hesitating whether to fight or not.
But before Lao Bai made a decision, Xiao Bei, who had been hiding behind the curtain and peeking, couldn't bear it anymore.
Seeing that her sister-in-law was selling her sex, she walked out angrily.
Xiao Bei directly interrupted the conversation between the shopkeeper and Lao Xing and said angrily. "I have something to say!"
However, at this time, the shopkeeper was busy persuading Lao Xing to escort Xiaobei to safety in school. He had no time to pay attention to Xiaobei and just said perfunctorily.
"What do you want to talk about later? I'm busy."
When Xiaobei heard this, he shouted angrily. "Let me just say, I don't want to go to school!"
When Xiao Bei yelled out, everyone except Xiao Liu was stunned. Their eyes wandered back and forth between the shopkeeper and Xiao Bei.
The shopkeeper was also stunned. She looked at everyone blankly, and then she came back to her senses and asked.
"Why?"
Xiaobei didn't know how to answer, she just said a little unhappy. "School is not fun. I will never go to school from now on. Never!"
After saying that, Xiaobei went back to the backyard angrily.
The rest of the people looked at the shopkeeper carefully, wanting to see what the shopkeeper would do?
The shopkeeper didn't have time to pay attention to everyone. She angrily chased Xiaobei towards the backyard.
When Lao Bai and others saw this, they quickly followed!
Seeing that everyone had left, Lao Xing quickly pulled Xiao Liu and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Xiao Liu.
"Master, please sit here for a moment while I go take a look?"
"What are you going to do? It's hard for an upright official to take care of household chores?" Lao Xing persuaded him kindly.
"Don't worry, Master, I'm sensible." Xiao Liu said with a smile, and after saying that, Xiao Liu followed everyone towards the backyard.
To be honest, Xiao Liu admired Xiao Bei's performance just now. People should have the courage to express their feelings.
Xiaoliu came to the door curtain and saw Xiaobei locking the door tightly. The shopkeeper pushed it several times and couldn't push it open. He knocked hard several times and shouted several times, but Xiaobei in the room didn't show any signs of it. no respond.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper came back with his hands on his hips and shouted angrily into the room.
"Okay! If you don't want to go to school, then you should never go to school! My sister-in-law doesn't even want to open this store because of you. Are you worthy of me?"
As he said that, the shopkeeper looked at his group of guys who were dressed like a bunch of ghosts and monsters in Journey to the West.
"And among my group of guys, who is not a reputable figure in the world!"
"I'm so embarrassed now." Lao Bai and others also answered.
"Dressed like this, you are neither male nor female." The scholar also complained.
"If you have a face, you're a fool of one." Xiao Guo said cheerfully.
"These two-skinned faces will work for you as maids, book boys, and bodyguards." The shopkeeper said one by one.
"There are also bearers." The man behind the shopkeeper, who was practicing biceps, added.
"Add another brick!" the shopkeeper said directly to Big Mouth.
"Hey!" Big Mouth responded and put the bricks in his hands together.
"Are you worthy of them by doing this?" the shopkeeper said sadly.
Lao Bai and the others responded directly. "I'm sorry!"
"Huh?" The shopkeeper was stunned.
Seeing the wrong look in the shopkeeper's eyes, everyone quickly added. "?"
"Sister-in-law dreamed of going to school when she was a child, but you...are you worthy of yourself by doing this?" As he said this, the shopkeeper almost cried.
Xiaoliu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the shopkeeper like this. The shopkeeper still didn't realize his problem, but Xiaobei, who had been listening in the room, had already thought about it.
Xiao Bei suddenly stood up and opened the door directly.
Xiaobei, who opened the door, walked directly to the shopkeeper openly, and faced off against the shopkeeper's king, king, and general!
"Are you finally willing to come out?"
When the shopkeeper saw Xiao Bei coming out, he suppressed the anger and grievance in his heart and planned to talk to her calmly, but he didn't expect that Xiao Bei would hit her hard as soon as he opened his mouth, and he would hit her directly.
"Sister-in-law, let me just say one thing. You didn't have freedom as a child, so you want to deprive me of my freedom as a child?"
After hearing these words from Xiaobei, no matter how eloquent the shopkeeper was usually, and no matter how many reasons and excuses he had in mind, he was speechless at this moment.
The shopkeeper looked at everyone blankly, as if she wanted them to say something for her, but she was disappointed. Everyone avoided her eyes at this time.
The outspoken Xiao Guo even spoke out.
"She was right."
"Guo Furong!" The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Guo angrily.
"What you did is indeed a bit excessive." Lao Bai also said aloud.
The shopkeeper thought Lao Bai was helping her. "Listen to your big brother Bai."
But I don't want to.
"I am talking about you."
"Zhantang, even you are not facing me." The shopkeeper looked at Lao Bai like this and felt helpless.
"You have really thought of everything for Xiaobei, but you just ignored one thing, that is, there are so many constraints and such heavy shackles. Can Xiaobei bear it?" Lao Bai said bluntly.
"Yeah, don't say it's her, even we can't stand it." Big Mouth also said aloud.
"Over time, her independence, autonomy, and child's nature have been completely destroyed by you. Is this really good?" Xiao Guo also asked.
Listening to everyone's words, the shopkeeper didn't know how to defend herself. She could only murmur her true feelings. "But, but... I am doing all this for her good. Is this wrong?"
"If it's really for her own good, then you should let her go and let her fly." Xiucai also said.
"Shopkeeper Tong, everyone is right. We all see your love for Xiaobei. But it is for her own good that we should not decide her life. Everyone's life belongs to themselves. , we love her and care about her, we can give her guidance and advice, but we should not decide her life." Xiao Liu also walked out from behind the curtain.
Xiaoliu also felt this situation.
Hearing everyone say this, the shopkeeper's psychological defense completely collapsed at this moment.
"Let go, don't let your childhood tragedy happen again to Xiao Bei." In the end, Lao Bai, a man with an unusual relationship with the shopkeeper, made the final cut.
The shopkeeper looked at everyone blankly, and then saw Xiaobei's eyes full of expectation for her. After a while, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and nodded silently.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Xiao Bei excitedly threw herself into the shopkeeper's arms.
"Bah, bang, bang!" Xiaoliu took the lead in applauding, and everyone also applauded together.
