Chapter 233: The Sin of Unfilial Piety
The three of them looked at each other in confusion. Why didn't things develop as they expected? Shouldn't they be the ones to report to the police?
Forcefully suppressing his displeasure, Old Man Li glared at her with a gloomy face: "What do you mean? Your father crawled out of your womb, and now she is seriously ill. Do you think that if you pay five taels of silver a year as filial piety, you don't have to worry about anything else?"
"That's right. Your grandma loved your dad the most. You should have a conscience. God is watching what you do. Be careful of retribution." Li Laosi also had a bad look on his face.
"Fourth Uncle, you can actually say such words, do you believe it?" Li Xiaoxiao sneered and looked at Li Laosi as if he was a fool.
"That's how it is. I'm just telling the truth." This is the capital city, and no one knows about their family affairs, so he can just say whatever he wants.
"I have already reported it to the police. Let's go there and talk about it later." Li Xiaoxiao was too lazy to argue with him.
There is no point in reasoning with a man like him. He will only behave himself when he is sent to the yamen.
It was noon, and many guests who came to the restaurant to eat saw people gathering at the door, and they stopped curiously to watch the fun.
Li Xiaoxiao clasped his fists towards them, and said in a clear voice with a faint smile: "I am so sorry, everyone. I have some family matters to deal with. I have disturbed your leisure time. For the guests who come to my restaurant for dinner today, each table will be given half a pound of braised beef."
The guest who was wandering at the door immediately had his eyes brightened when he heard what Li Xiaoxiao said. This boss is really generous. Why is he watching the fun? If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, you're a bastard.
Suddenly, many guests poured into the restaurant. Seeing that half of the onlookers were gone, Old Man Li was anxious and wanted to hold them back.
"Don't go to her restaurant to eat. In her previous restaurant, someone found a dead rat while eating. The food they made is not clean at all!" Li Laosi suddenly shouted.
He also heard this from Li Chengcai and didn't know whether it was true or not, but as long as it was unfavorable to Li Xiaoxiao Restaurant, he would make it out to be true even if it didn't happen.
As expected, after hearing his words, several guests who wanted to go inside immediately stopped and looked at him suspiciously.
Li Xiaoxiao's face turned cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes when she looked at Li Laosi. Was she too kind to them?
"Li Dahu, I respect you and call you Fourth Uncle, but you have slandered the reputation of my restaurant. If you apologize now, I can forgive you. Otherwise, you will pay the price for what you have done."
"Stop scaring people here. Are you scared of telling your ugly deeds?" Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's look, Li Laosi raised his head proudly with an expression that said, "What can you do to me?"
Li Xiaoxiao ignored him and explained to the guests at the door: "I do have a Longmen Restaurant in Jiunu County. Because I had a disagreement with the old house, my cousin from my uncle's family and Zhang Wenbin, the son of the former Jiunu County, hired someone to deliberately frame my restaurant. Later, the two were arrested and thrown into prison. If anyone has any doubts about this, you can go to the government to investigate."
Li Xiaoxiao spoke solemnly and seriously, and no one would think that she was lying.
After these words were spoken, the guests at the door looked at Li Laosi with naked contempt in their eyes. They didn't expect that such a grown man would do such a despicable thing.
He spat at Li Laosi and went in without looking back.
Li Laosi almost rushed up to fight with those people, but was held down by Li Laotou and Li Laoda.
"Fourth brother, don't be impulsive or you might fall into her trap." Boss Li whispered in his ear.
Li Laosi had no choice but to swallow his anger. He looked at Li Xiaoxiao with a look as if it was filled with poison: "You little bitch, you will get your comeuppance sooner or later."
"Then let's see whose retribution comes faster." Li Xiaoxiao said calmly.
Li Laosi was about to say something else, but was interrupted by a voice.
"Who is making a noise here?" Several yamen runners strode over, led by a handsome man who looked to be in his twenties.
There were several people following behind him, and it was obvious that he was the leader of this group.
The leading yamen runner was known to many people in the crowd. His name was Wu Zixuan, and he was in charge of public security in this area.
"The officials are these few people who came to our restaurant to cause trouble. Look, they are pulling an ox cart with an old lady lying on it." The waiter pointed at Old Lady Li on the ox cart.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you..." Li Laosi said half of the sentence and suddenly couldn't say the rest.
I was fine just now, but suddenly I felt a pain in my chest and I couldn't speak. I opened my mouth but no sound came out.
Because the official had arrived, everyone's eyes were on him, and no one noticed Li Xiaoxiao's hand, which moved a little and then retracted as if nothing had happened.
"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?" Boss Li noticed that something was wrong with him and asked hurriedly.
“Ahhhh...!” Li Laosi’s face was filled with fear. He opened his mouth and gestured with his hands, but no sound came out!
"Let's talk about Laosi's matter later. Business is more important." Old man Li also noticed that something was wrong with Li Laosi, but they didn't have time to care about it now.
Since Li Laosi can't speak, this matter can only be spoken by Li Laoda.
"Sir, it's not what they said. The person on the ox cart is my mother, the grandmother of Li Xiaoxiao, the owner of this restaurant. My mother was seriously injured in the waist a few months ago and can't stand up. Among the four of us brothers, only Li Xiaoxiao's family has not been taking care of the elderly."
Boss Li continued, "So I specially sent my mother to Li Xiaoxiao today. In our Tianwu country, filial piety is the most important thing, but their family has never mentioned the intention of serving their mother. It is really heartbreaking."
Boss Li showed his disappointment at the right moment, and his words were full of emotion.
Hearing this, Wu Zixuan looked at the waiter again with confusion.
The waiter was choked and didn't know how to start.
"Sir, I am the Li Xiaoxiao he mentioned, and I was the one I asked my waiter to report to the government. My family and they have a long-standing feud that cannot be resolved in a few words. I want to formally report them to the government and frame me for the crime of being unfilial."
Li Xiaoxiao spoke frankly, her eyes were clear and her beautiful little face was full of seriousness.
Only then did Wu Zixuan notice Li Xiaoxiao standing at the door. He felt that she was very pretty at first sight. He patrolled these streets every day, but he didn't know that the owner of the Longmen Restaurant was such a pretty girl.
"Okay, will all of you come to the yamen together?" Wu Zixuan glanced at Li Laosi and Li Xiaoxiao.
A few people were about to follow him when Li Dahai suddenly came out of the restaurant and said, "Wait a moment."
