Chapter 228 Uncomfortable
When the two arrived at Li Xiaoxiao's restaurant, it was noon. There was a constant stream of customers at the restaurant door and business was good. Standing outside the door, they could see Li Xiaoxiao's figure from afar, constantly shuttling in the hall.
Just as they were looking at Li Xiaoxiao, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly looked towards them, and the two of them were so scared that they quickly hid.
"Brother, do you think the little bitch saw us?" Li Laosi asked quietly.
"Maybe he didn't see it. The distance was so far." Boss Li was not sure either.
"Then what should we do?" Li Laosi knew that his elder brother was very well-educated and must know more than him.
"Let's go back and discuss it. Don't let Li Xiaoxiao find us first. If she is on guard against us by then, it will be difficult to touch her." Boss Li couldn't think of a good idea for a while, so he had to go back first. As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, and they will always find a way.
After making sure that the two of them had gone far away, Li Xiaoxiao waved to Li Dahai who was hiding in the dark, indicating that he could come out.
"Why did they find us here again?" Li Dahai frowned. They were obviously the closest people, so why did they target their family everywhere? They had just had a few days of good life, and now they came here again.
"It must be the person behind the scenes who did it. Dad, it's no use hiding from them all the time. Why don't we show up in front of them openly and see what they are going to do?" The Li family was like flies in the toilet. They couldn't hide away and had to go to Si's house to look for them every day.
"Xiaoxiao, I'll listen to you!" Li Dahai looked depressed, with loneliness in his voice.
As soon as he got home, Li Laosi sat down on a stool, picked up the cold tea on the table, and gulped down several mouthfuls.
Old man Li mentioned the matter of buying a maid that day. He was busy looking for someone in the Si Mansion these days and had not found the time to buy one.
Taking advantage of the fact that Li Laosi and Li Laoda were not at home, Old Man Li asked Jiang and Liu to go buy it together.
As for whether to buy a maid or a old woman, Old Man Li doesn't care, as long as there is someone to serve him.
Not long after Jiang and Liu went out, Li Lao Da and Li Lao Si came back.
"Dad, this is really strange. You don't know how good Li Xiaoxiao's shop business is. She made a lot of money when she was in Jiunu County. Even now there are so many people following her in the capital." Thinking of the scene he had just seen, Li Laosi became very depressed. Why did Li Xiaoxiao have such good luck?
"When I was in Jiunu County, I heard someone say that the signature dish of that girl's restaurant is called the Mandarin Duck Hotpot. Dad, why don't we go try it? You are her grandfather. If she doesn't want money, we can have a free meal. If she asks you for money for a meal, you can make a scene in her restaurant. Then she won't be able to ask you for the money, and you can accuse her of being unfilial, which will also ruin her reputation."
Boss Li thought about this matter all the way, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. If he could do it well, the man with the mustache would probably give them more silver.
Hearing what Li Lao Da said, Li Lao Si's eyes suddenly lit up. His elder brother was indeed an educated man, and his brain was better than his.
Old man Li thought about it carefully for a while and felt that this method was feasible.
In ancient times, filial piety was more important than anything else. As long as we could find evidence that Li Xiaoxiao was unfilial, we would be able to ruin her reputation.
After discussing the details carefully, the three decided to go to the restaurant at noon tomorrow when it is busiest, so they could also try the yuanyang hotpot.
Not long after, Liu and Li came back, bringing with them a woman who looked to be in her forties. She had a square face, a grooved nose, small eyes narrowed into a line, and big, thick lips. Although she was young, half of her hair was white, like an old woman.
The reason why he chose someone with such an ugly appearance was because he suffered a loss at the hands of Zhao Lanlan last time. At that time, Old Man Li was the only man at home, and Zhao Lanlan pounced on him without any care.
There are three men in the family now. Jiang and Liu have the same idea, which is rare. They don't want their men to be seduced away by other women.
The three men just took a look and waved their hands, asking the woman to go down and work.
By noon the next day, the three of them had cleaned up everything.
Since coming to the capital and living in such a big courtyard, Old Man Li seemed to have returned to his previous state, although there were still many wrinkles on his face. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. After putting on good clothes, his confidence immediately returned.
When we arrived at Li Xiaoxiao Restaurant, the hotel was crowded. After Li Xiaoxiao Restaurant opened, almost everyone who had eaten there gave it a thumbs up.
It seems that people have a special liking for hotpot. After eating it once, they want to eat it a second time. So many people have become members of Li Xiaoxiao's restaurant. It's cheap and delicious, so how can the business be bad?
Ever since Li Lao Da and Li Lao Si came yesterday, Li Xiaoxiao kept glancing outside the door.
When she looked out the door for the nth time, she finally saw the figures of Old Man Li and the others, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
It happened that Old Man Li met Li Xiaoxiao's gaze and actually retreated for a moment. It was not his fault. He had clashed with Li Xiaoxiao countless times and suffered too many losses.
Even though he was timid in his heart, he had come here and with his two sons following him, he could not retreat.
Old man Li still walked into the restaurant with big strides, forcing himself to ignore Li Xiaoxiao's gaze.
Once we entered the restaurant, we saw the spacious hall was bustling with people eating, with one or two empty tables here and there.
Seeing a customer coming in, the waiter came over hurriedly to greet them. The three of them deliberately ignored Li Xiaoxiao's gaze that was fixed on them.
They found a table in the hall so that it would be convenient for them to do their work later.
As soon as we sat down, Li Xiaoxiao came over and said to the waiter, "You go and do something else, I'll take care of these guests."
The waiter responded readily and left.
Seeing Li Xiaoxiao coming over, the three of them became nervous, as if they had been caught doing something wrong. The scene suddenly became awkward. It was Li Xiaoxiao who spoke first, and although his voice was not loud, the three of them could hear it clearly.
"Grandpa, Fourth Uncle, my eldest uncle is living well in the village. Why did he come to the capital with his family? Is he trying to make things difficult for himself?"
With just one sentence, the awkward atmosphere became tense. Li Laosi was the first to quit. It turned out that Li Xiaoxiao knew that they had come to the capital.
She knew that he went to Si's house to find them every day. He was making a fool of them. She stood up angrily, scaring the guests sitting next to him.
Seeing someone looking over here, Li Laosi put away the anger on his face and sat down again, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Li Xiaoxiao, you are really becoming more and more lawless. We are your elders, how can you talk to us like that? We have looked for you so many times, but you just closed the door and refused to see us."
