Chapter 36: Chapter 34: They are nothing but a bunch of beasts!

She laughed, and a natural smile spread across her face.

A beautiful smile can captivate a city, and another can captivate a nation!

Although Liu Sisi wore simple clothes, she could not hide her delicate and gentle temperament, her skin as smooth as jade. A few strands of her mischievous black hair cascaded down her face, making her lovely features even more enchanting.

With just this one smile, Fatty was instantly captivated.

Seeing this, Di Yelei’s face darkened. Instinctively, he shifted his tall frame to shield Liu Sisi behind him.

“Lord Chief Cook, are you joking with us? A 230 catty fat pig is worth more than three taels of silver, but you only offer one tael for such a large elk. Isn’t that too little?”

Fatty, his eyes now blocked by Di Yelei, was already displeased. Added to this, Di Yelei’s confrontational tone made Fatty lose his patience.

These poor folk had been bringing game to his restaurant all year round, always treating him with the utmost respect, fearing his wrath.

He had long taken advantage of them. In this small town, only his Heji Restaurant had the capacity to purchase such large game. As they needed a long-term supplier, he was not afraid to offend these impoverished people.

“If you don’t want to sell, then just leave! I’m not begging you to do so.”

He rolled his eyes, all white now visible: “If you don’t sell, go away! You won’t sell, but later on, many will! You don’t want to sell, and I don’t want to buy.”

Di Yelei suppressed his anger: “Chief Cook, you know we’re old acquaintances. One tael of silver really is too little, isn’t it? We…”

Before he could finish, the other party interrupted.

“Get out! Don’t think you’re the only one selling game. There are many who beg me to buy it! If you don’t want to sell, just leave!”

Fatty’s fat face quivered: “Hmph! If you bring it back later, forget one tael of silver, this Old Master won’t even give you half a tael! Or, let your young wife come over…hee hee! Looking at your lovely face, perhaps I might give you a little more, who knows, haha…”

Liu Sisi was furious! With trembling fingers, she pointed at the fat pig, unable to speak!

Before she could say anything, Di Yelei had already flown into a rage!

His fists clenched and unclenched, unclenched and clenched; then, suddenly, with a swift punch, he struck Fatty hard in the face.

Blood splattered!

“Ouch!”

With that punch, Fatty’s bulky figure stumbled backward, unable to keep his balance, and he retreated several steps in succession.

Bang!

His whole body crashed into the shelves nearby, and various meats and vegetables on the shelves fell down, making a loud noise.

Clearly, Fatty had not expected Di Yelei to act so impulsively. As the punch landed, blood poured from his fat face.

“You, you guys! How dare you hit me!”

Fatty’s face was a picture of disbelief!

He had been swaggering and oppressive in this small town for many years, often using his official position to buy low and sell high, profiting from the difference.

He made a fortune and, naturally, looked down on these poor folks all the more. Little did he know, he would hit a snag today!

Echoes from the commotion reached the kitchen where everyone was busy working. They bustlingly gathered around, even some customers in the front hall heard the noise and peeked around the kitchen door.

“I, Di Yelei, might be poor and down on my luck, but I have dignity! Someone like you deserves a beating! Sisi, let’s go! I’d rather starve to death than step foot in your Heji Restaurant ever again!”

“You, you actually think you can leave just like that? Someone grab him and take him to the officials! Ow, it hurts so much!”

The fatty struggled to get up, unable to rise after several attempts.

Seeing more and more people surrounding them, Liu Sisi quickly conjured tears and started to cry!

“I found that your whole family, along with other people, have completely different fortunes. They all belong to the crab. You may mock us for being poor, but you even instigate my husband to sell his wife and children! You’re not ashamed, and I’m embarrassed for you! Husband, let’s go!”-

After saying this, Liu Sisi grabbed Di Yelei’s arm, led the two children, and left the kitchen.

“Stop them! Did you really think that after hitting someone, you could simply leave like this? How daring! Are you trying to bully our Heji Restaurant because we have no one? Arrest them all and send them to the officials!”

Fatty finally managed to get up with the help of several people, and loudly berated those around him.

Many of the customers who had been eating scattered and fled. The few waiters quickly encircled them, trying to capture them.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Di Yelei heaved the elk on his shoulder and swiftly circled around Liu Sisi and the two children. Those who tried to pounce on them were immediately hit by the swung elk, clutching their wounds while exclaiming “ouch!” and refraining from moving forward.

“Damned Fatty! You clearly went out of your way to make things difficult for us first, then you harassed an innocent woman. Now you have the audacity to try and arrest us? Pretentiousness invites thunder! How shameless! When have I ever bullied your family for not having people? All these people standing here, what are they from your family? Oh, I get it, they’re not people, they’re animals, right?”

With just one sentence, Liu Sisi berated the many thugs present! As for involving the officials, right or wrong, they wouldn’t end up welleither way.

“Hmph! I have money, so I have the final say! Money makes me superior! You bunch of poor people actually dare to call me an animal? Today, if you don’t pay for your offenses by leaving this deer behind, don’t even think about leaving this restaurant!”

“You actually dare to forcibly buy and sell! I’d like to see if there’s any law left in the world!”

Di Yelei was furious, flying into a rage as he spoke and raised his fist again.

“No, let’s wait and talk about this later,”-

Liu Sisi stopped Di Yelei with a sweet smile!

If he’s so shameless as to call the soldiers and officers, I’ll grant his wish. With so many witnesses present, I can’t believe he could still suppress the truth!

“What’s going on? What’s the situation now?”

At the peak of everyone’s chaos, a man dressed as a businessman walked in from outside.

Fatty’s eyes suddenly brightened as he crawled clumsily across from the other side, “Boss, you have to stand up for me! Look at my face! They… Boss! They completely disregard you and our Heji Restaurant! All of our customers… They drove them all away!”

Liu Sisi looked up and saw that the boss of Heji Restaurant wasn’t very old, probably around forty, and looked quite decent.

She then went forward, bowed down, and began to recount the incident in detail.

In the end, she added, “Boss, with your insight, this elk, not to mention its antlers, just the medicinal value of its meat alone is far beyond that of ordinary pork.”
