16, Chapter 16
Pei Fugui was completely stupid and wanted to curse, but the followers were quick-sighted and helped him off the table. Someone pressed his armpit, which made him so painful that he could not speak.
But those people took him out of the yard with kind words and respectful expressions, and no one could tell that they were ruthless behind the scenes.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that Pei Liang was trying to deal with his biological father.
But now that the food is delicious, who cares about him? Besides, my daughter is now capable and well-off, and the things that were ruined in the past need to be properly sorted out.
Otherwise, such a father will be ruined no matter how hard he earns money.
Pei Liang finished the meal with everyone and drank a few more glasses of wine. When the banquet was over, he distributed the gifts to everyone. The gifts given by the clan leader and several uncles who had worked hard at the time were especially generous.
After all, only a few senior clan elders could suppress Pei Fugui in terms of etiquette. In the past, Pei Fugui always looked down on his poor relatives in the countryside with his nose in the sky, but later he ruined the family business with his own efforts and could no longer raise his head.
When Pei Liang returned to the Pei family's ancestral house, the house had been tidied up. Pei Fugui was sitting in the main hall with a bowl of half-spilled porridge on the table in front of him.
Two burly servants stood beside him, one on the left and one on the right. Pei Fugui couldn't get up, and he couldn't eat the bowl of porridge in front of him.
Seeing Pei Liang come in, he sneered: "You are so capable now. I am your biological father. When you become rich, you will come back to show off to me. But don't forget that if it weren't for that deposit, where would you have the chance to make a comeback?"
God is watching, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning if you abuse your parents?"
Pei Liang sat on the Grand Master's chair in the main hall. This chair was made of fine wood carvings. In the past, Mr. Pei used to sit in the throne.
In the past few years, Pei Fugui has sold everything he can sell at home, including these two chairs.
However, the people Pei Liang takes with him are all top-notch special assistants with an annual salary of seven figures or more in modern times. The ancients were more hard-working, and a job with a good salary and a generous employer allowed them to explore their own value desperately.
Increase competition.
So while cleaning up the house, someone had already gone to two brokers in the next village to buy back the things that had not yet been sold.
Pei Liang sat down on the chair, and Pei Fugui saw the father he feared most in his life in a trance, and subconsciously felt guilty.
Then Pei Liang chuckled: "Drink the porridge."
Pei Fugui came back to her senses and thought that I was her father, so she suddenly clapped her hands and said: "You are so rich and spicy, but you feed those poor people from the countryside until their mouths are full of oil, and let your father eat bran-thick vegetables?"
Pei Liang winked, and a servant woman turned into the bedroom with an empty bowl, and soon came out with a bowl of smelly and pungent yellow soup. It was the same thing in the chamber pot that Pei Fugui and his wife had not changed for many days.
The servant woman put the yellow soup next to the porridge. Pei Fugui had a bad premonition, so he heard Pei Liang say: "If you don't want to drink porridge, just drink another bowl."
"I'm not the child of one of those mean parents. I don't have to feed myself and let my father go to bed hungry. You must fill your stomach today."
As for what to fill in, the choice is huge.
Pei Fugui has never suffered such humiliation in his life. Even when he lost Tianxiang Tower and was harassed and threatened by a group of gangsters, it was not so extreme.
He looked at Pei Liang in disbelief and saw the way her daughter looked at him.
There was no awe at being close to Rumu, nor was there any disappointment or resentment. It was an indifference that was so cold that it chilled one's bones. Pei Fugui had seen this look before.
When he was a child, he once pooped on a load of rice that had just been delivered. No matter how much his mother tried to protect him, his father beat him until he couldn't get out of bed for half a month.
At that time, his father looked at him with a look of hatred, but Pei Liang's look at this moment was like the shit his father had done when he saw him.
It makes me feel sick even if I look at it more than once, and I feel impatient because I have to deal with it.
Pei's mother wanted to beg for mercy, but before she could speak, Pei Liang's look forced her back.
She said: "I have to go on my way tomorrow morning and don't have time to waste time here. If father doesn't choose, I'll make whatever you like and let them feed you both bowls."
Pei Fugui was so disheartened that his teeth trembled: "You, you are not afraid -"
"Don't be afraid!" Pei Liang put one hand on the armrest of the seat and said casually: "No one will stand up for a piece of shit like you if there is no benefit."
"I worked hard to build my family business, not to bring waste to heaven. There are many things to be busy with outside, and I don't want to spend any energy on a piece of shit."
"But it's true that as long as you make good use of this piece of shit, it will cause me a lot of trouble. Of course, solving the problem at the source is the most effective way."
"But there is still a trace of kindness left, so from now on, I will leave some people to serve you personally. From now on, you can just be your rich man and don't think about anything else."
"But I have to remind you, if you dare to contact outsiders, or intend to escape, unless you have the ability to deal with them all in one go, I have already told them."
"I, Pei Liang, would rather lose my father than have my relatives become enemies. Do you understand?"
It's obvious that if he's playing tricks, just send him to death.
Pei Fugui was sweating like rain. He was not smart in the right way, but his little thoughts turned quickly.
If he gets angry, Pei Liang will definitely be eager to kill him with a knife from the fierce-looking men around him to eliminate future troubles. As long as the murderer finds an excuse such as being jealous of the master's family to resist the crime, Pei Liang will definitely treat their family.
Pension.
Or maybe she was just trying to make him run away in fear. The world is so chaotic right now, and it's normal for a lot of people to die outside?
Pei Fugui's face was like gold paper, his whole body was cold and his teeth were trembling.
Then Pei Liang nodded again at the table: "If you understand, just finish your meal early and go down to rest."
How could Pei Fugui dare to show off and take Qiao? As if a ghost was trying to rob him, he picked up the half-sprinkled gruel that night and drank it in a few sips.
Only then did Pei Liang say with satisfaction: "Help me go down."
When Pei Fugui was lifted up, his whole legs were weak.
The maid quickly cleaned up the hall, and Pei Liang said to the frightened mother Pei: "Mom, it's easy to worry about. As long as you have food and drink, you won't care about anything."
"Although the countryside is not as lively and prosperous as the capital, your daughter will not be short of food and clothing. So don't be as careless as your father, do you understand?"
Mother Pei nodded repeatedly with pale lips. When she went down, she couldn't help but look back at her daughter.
After not seeing each other for a few years, my daughter has completely grown up. Compared with her taciturn and inconspicuous existence, she almost looks like a different person. My daughter was raised by the old man, and as a mother, she is actually not very close to her.
It was just the completely different changes that had crawled out of her belly, and the cold attitude towards their biological parents, that made Pei's mother frightened, and she couldn't catch the clues for a while.
After temporarily dealing with Li Pei's parents, Pei Liang only rested in the village for one night before setting off for the city.
Although I returned to Beijing after several years, I was not unprepared.
She had already asked someone to take care of the Pei family's mansion, and then reorganized the store.
It just so happened that a store opposite Tianxiang Building, which was originally engaged in the business of rare utensils, transferred the store due to poor management.
This location was perfect for Pei Liang, so when someone sent a message to tell her, Pei Liang immediately had someone pay 30% higher than the market price to get it.
Pei Liang and his party returned to Pei's house with numerous gifts as gifts. After settling in, they headed to the store she bought.
After coming out of Pei's house, he clearly felt a few scrutinizing eyes. Pei Liang looked over and several nearby salesmen withdrew their gaze.
Perhaps seeing that there were so many of them, the few idle men didn't say anything, but turned around and left the alley, their steps a bit hurried.
Pei Liang didn't take it seriously. She had already imagined most of the situations if she dared to come back.
We walked all the way to the new restaurant, which was still being decorated. There was a white cloth covering the outside to prevent prying eyes and not hinder the business of the surrounding shops.
Pei Liang's memory is not unfamiliar with this store, but her main purpose of coming today is obviously not to inspect the progress.
After just a few cursory glances, Pei Liang led his maids and followers straight to the opposite side.
The waiter who greeted the guests was still an old man from Tianxiang Building. He came up with a smile on his face when he saw the business coming. However, when he took a closer look, he was shocked -
"Shaodong's family?" Then he was overjoyed: "You, have you returned to Beijing?"
Pei Liang smiled at the other party: "How have you been these past few years?"
As soon as he finished speaking, bitterness appeared on the waiter's face.
Before I could answer, I heard a shrill and mean female voice coming from inside: "I fished out hair from the soup, washed a bowl and found finger prints. They were buried underground. As soon as the guest entered the door, there was no place to look. That's all."
Are you still saying that I wronged you?"
"Let me tell you, today's Tianxiang Building is not the old shabby settlement where all comers were welcome. Whoever comes in and out all day long is not a noble person who will kill you if he drops a hair?"
"Why are you still reciting the old rules to me? Does the Pei family give you wages? Now you are the dogs raised by the Wei family, so don't let me eat you inside and outside."
"Everyone went out to ask around. Which restaurant owner is so kind-hearted that he can support such a bunch of freeloaders without making any money?"
"Nothing to say today, the money has been withheld."
Someone hurriedly begged: "Although we are talking about salary, we have not received bonuses during the holidays in recent years, and all the rewards from the guests have been handed over at your request. In addition to the work in the restaurant, there are more jobs every day, so let me take this
The salary is not considered an advantage."
"Yes, my daughter fell ill in the first ten days of the month, and I spent a lot of money on treatment. I can't get rid of it this month, and I can't withhold it any more."
"Oh~, why am I not familiar with raising you? Everyone I work with is a white-eyed wolf. And you still get dividends? I don't believe that you didn't steal the meat, vegetables, rice oil from the restaurant back home. Such a big restaurant, but there are leaks between your fingers.
, it’s enough to feed you rats, and you’re still crying about poverty with me.”
"If you're poor, don't get sick. You're a cheap girl, and you're even pretentious. Since you're rich enough to go see a doctor, you must have enough to eat."
"You——" Everyone looked at him angrily.
Mother Wei waved her fan and sneered: "What? Are you going against me? You are so brave, aren't you?"
"Master Li of Nancheng has told me to just say hello if I have anything to do. Master Li has hundreds of brothers. If you are going to die, you should think about your wife, children and mother at home."
Seeing everyone swallowing their anger and suppressing their anger, Mother Wei's face showed color.
In a daze, I heard the waiter at the door calling me "Shaodongjia", so he turned around with satisfaction: "My dear daughter, please go ahead -"
As if half of the words in Wei's mouth were cut off, she stared at Pei Liang with wide eyes as if she saw a ghost.
Pei Liang smiled and said, "Mrs. Wei, you can't shout randomly."
