“That one surnamed He is a relative of the owner.” He said.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, “No wonder he is so arrogant.”
Shopkeeper Sun finally revealed his true self, and appeared frankly and honestly in front of the siblings.
Anyway, he didn’t have much dignity anymore, just let him be embarrassed.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Why are you being chased by people for debts?”
It was fine if it wasn’t mentioned, once it was mentioned, Shopkeeper Su’s face became even more ugly.
What happened just now, this was truly the moment that really made him lose his prestige.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at his painful expression and guessed, “It can’t be that your mistress ran away with someone else, took away your private money, borrowed a bunch of debts and made you be the scapegoat!”
Su Ergou crossed his arms and laughed, “Haha! Jie! How could there be such a stupid and unlucky man in the world?”
Shopkeeper Sun stopped talking.
Su Ergou stopped laughing, “Ah, there really is ah……”
Su Xiaoxiao sympathetically patted Shopkeeper Sun’s shoulder.
And in the next second, the siblings were laughing so hard that couldn’t be stopped.
……
After the siblings finished laughing, Shopkeeper Sun was already numb.
But what could he say?
Wasn’t it all done by himself?
Su Xiaoxiao touched her stomach, “Whew, this laugh made me lose a kilo.”
It was rumored that laughing could produce abdominal muscle (abs)!
Shopkeeper Sun said, “Your business is getting bigger and bigger, when I passed by Jinji the other day, I saw that there were more people queuing in front of your stall than at Jinji’ entrance.”
Su Xiaoxiao said proudly, “Yeah, you’re envious, right?”
Shopkeeper Sun sighed, “It’s me who underestimated you, girl. You’re not a person of no particular talent*.”
*It is a metaphor for a person who lives in seclusion and does nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao said and boasted shamelessly, “There are too many people who underestimate me, and you are not the only one. However, in the future, please say a few more words like this.”
It was really the first time Shopkeeper Sun saw such thick skinned people.
“Are you still supplying goods to Jinji?” He asked.
”No more.” Su Xiaoxiao said, “That surnamed He is not a good person and wants to drive us away. He even sent people to besiege us on the road.”
Su Ergou showed off his small biceps, “In the end, they were severely beaten by us!”
“You girl, is really a tough one.” Shopkeeper Sun thought of something and suddenly laughed painfully, “Then Jinji is totally screwed.”
Su Xiaoxiao sighed, “What do you mean with totally screwed ah? It’s just one egg yolk cake, even if we don’t sell it, their business will still be very good.”
Shopkeeper Sun laughed, “You don’t know, right? Tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the Qi family. At the beginning, I have spent a lot of effort and many relationships before I can send the snacks to the Qi family. After Old Madam Qi tasted it, she fell in love with wife cakes and egg yolk cakes, especially the egg yolk cakes. Old Madam Qi said that this snack couldn’t be missed. Now that you don’t supply Jinji, they won’t be able to make the egg yolk cakes, and it will ruin the Qi family’s birthday banquet, that will be a serious problem!”
After hearing this, instead of gloating, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly became unusually silent.
“How many egg yolk cakes are needed for the Qi family’s birthday banquet?” She asked.
Shopkeeper Sun said, “One hundred.”
Su Xiaoxiao frowned: “It must be her!”
“What’s wrong?” Shopkeeper Sun was confused by Su Xiaoxiao’s sudden reaction.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “These two days have been too peaceful, Jinji didn’t find fault with us, and a woman suddenly came to me to buy a hundred salted duck eggs.”
These sentences seemed to be unrelated, but Shopkeeper Sun was quite smart.
He immediately realized the clue!
His expression changed drastically, “It must be sent by that surnamed He! He bought your ingredients!”
“Huh? Didn’t that woman buy it for her son? She was running errands for that surnamed He?” Su Ergou became furious! That surnamed He was too despicable!
Su Xiaoxiao’s brows were furrowed, but soon her brows relaxed.
She hooked her lips and smiled, “You’re the one who got the order last year, right?”
