Here you go, today’s chapters. And a happy Easter Monday to all.
It is in winter and very cold. Right now it is also at night, and without the warmth of the sun, the temperature is freezing. This bucket of water will…..
Wen Shouzhen could not help shivering in fear at the thought.
"Aichoo" the tall shadow wiped his face as he sneezed. It revealed the face of the thief.
"Aichoo!" The short shadow also sneezed and immediately covered his face.
"Boss Yin and Deshun?" Wen Shouzhen was surprised, "It is really you two!"
Wen Shouzhen seemed to understand something, "What are you two doing in my home in the middle of the night?"
"Father, they just come out from the kitchen!" Wen Rou immediately pointed out.
"Boss Yin, we have been friends for so many years. Surely you did not bring Deshun here to steal my wine recipe?" Wen Shouzhen's face was very scary.
"Shifu, it is cold outside, let's go in and discuss this!" Fang Dashi picked up the coat that was blown away by the winter and placed it on Wen Shouzhen's shoulders.
"Let's go to the great hall!" Wen Shouzhen waved his hands, and Fang Dashi lead the way.
Yuan Zi, Xiao Wu and Er Gou captured the two men and followed behind.
Wen Rou is at the last. She was grinning and delighted.
The two rotten eggs in Yin family, hehe, I want to see how you explain this!
Within in the great hall, the lights are brightly lit.
Wen Shouzhen sat in front, and Fang Dashi stand beside him. From each side, the two thieves are surrounded by Xiao Wu, Yuan Zi, Er Gou and Wen Rou. This is setting is similar to that of the magistrate court.
Standing in the middle are the two Yin family members. The only difference is that Wen Shouzhen is not a court official and they were not kneeling.
"Boss Yin, I have never treated you badly. Why did you enter my house in the middle of the night and steal from me?" Wen Shouzhen angrily questioned.
"Brother Wen, misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!" Yin Fugui ignored the chilly cold and immediately smiled as he tried to explain.
"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding, my foot! Please explain why you are in my home in the middle of the night!" Wen Shouzhen roared.
"This… This…." Yin Fugui could not explain. Usually, his tongue is very sharp, but at this moment, it seemed to be frozen.
"Are you two trying to steal our recipe for brewing wine? In the day time, I rejected your proposal to cooperate, and you come here in the night time to steal it?" Wen Shouzhen interrogated them.
"I ….." Yin Fugui was at a loss for words.
"Shifu, just now I noticed that they were creeping out from the kitchen. Maybe they have stolen something?" Fang Dashi reminded Wen Shouzhen.
"Oh?" Before Wen Shouzhen could say a word, Yuan Zi, Xiao Wu and Er Gou immediately rushed up and searched the two men.
"Chef Wen, look!" Yuan Zi found the hidden piece of paper from Yin Fugui's body.
Even though it is a bit wet, but the words still could be made out.
"Brother Wen, you listen to my explanation, I …." When he saw that the evidence was discovered, Yin Fugui immediately panicked. He tried to beg for forgiveness and is afraid that Wen Shouzhen will take him to the authorities.
"Shi Tou, read it out loud!" Wen Shouzhen does not know how to read. But Fang Dashi does know how to read a few words.
"Shifu, then … I will read it out!" Fang Dashi then speak clearly and loudly, "I, Yin Fugui, and my son, Yin Deshun, come here tonight to steal the Wen Family wine recipe. I am a thief!"
"Hahahaha!" As soon as Fang Dashi finished reading, other than the Yin family father and son pair, everyone laughed until the tears come out of their eyes.
They have never seen such stupid thieves before in their lives. They did not manage to steal anything. Instead, they write a document stating clearly their intent and admit that they were here to steal.
Once they shared this joke with their friends and family, their friends and family will laugh until their teeth fall out.
There is no need to ask, and everyone knows that Wen Rou is behind all these.
"This… This…." Yin Fugui was so furious that he snatched that piece of paper from Fang Dashi and looked at it himself.
Each word, each sentence, all of them were about their exploits tonight!
"You evil bitch! You set a trap for me!" Yin Deshun immediately understood. He was shivering, either from rage or from the cold, and angrily turned around and accused Wen Rou.
The girl that they have repeatedly called naïve, stupid and dumb had tricked them. And they fell for it, line, hook and sinker. So who is the dumb one?
"What? You are the want who wanted to be a thief. Why did you blame me for your actions?" Wen Rou looked as if she had been wrongly accused.
"Wen Shouzhen, from now onwards, do not ever think of drinking our wine!" Yin Fugui was anxious and immediately threatened.
"Hehe, our Wen family have wine. You need not worry about this!" Wen Shouzhen frown. For the first time, he had seen the true colours of this pair of father and son.
"Oh yes, Uncle Yin! Today, Manager Li told my dad that from today onwards, he will not carry your wine. Rather, they will purchase the wine from us!" Wen Rou continued to fan the fire.
"You…. You!" Yin Fugui was so angry that his chest hurt. This time he had sustained internal injuries.
"Wen family, I will get back at you for this! From now onwards, we will sever all relationships with your family! The next time we meet, we are enemies!" Yin Fugui scolded.
"Uncle Yin, these words should be what my father say to you. If you do not leave now, then when daybreaks come, you can explain it to the magistrate. After all, everyone had seen it and can bear witness. You cannot escape!" Wen Rou sneered.
"Humph! Deshun, let's go!" Yin Fugui grabbed Yin Deshun and angrily stomped off.
"Be careful about the big pit, do not fall into it again!" Wen Rou 'helpfully' reminded them.
Everyone in the room roared with laughter.
"I say, it is high time that you leave as well! Don't tell me you want to have breakfast in my house as well?" Seeing that the Yin family had left, Wen Shouzhen proceeds to drive these guests away.
"Chef Wen, we are leaving!" All the kitchen hands got the hint and looked at Wen Rou to secretly greet her goodbye.
"Before you leave, remember to fill the pit! So that others will not fall into it." Wen Shouzhen remembers to assign them a task before they leave.
This night is really exciting.
They get to eat the delicious sausage and get to catch two thieves. Super exciting!
All the kitchen hands licked their lips as they try to recall the taste of the sausage. This would be a good night for them.
Wen Rou lays on the bed, and stare at the ceiling. She could not calm down.
Today, her father had seen the Yin family true colours. With the souring of relationships between the two families, it is unlikely that the Yin family will propose after the new year.
The huge crushing feeling that she had in her past life at being unable to marry the one she loves because she was betrothed to another was lifted.
Wen Rou heaved a sigh a relief. She suddenly felt much more carefree.
Yin Family, just you wait and prepare for the closure of your business. We will sell our wine to all your business partners!
Wen Rou swore. She had already decided on her next move.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the soulful melody of a flute playing from afar.
The familiar sound filled Wen Rou's eyes with tears.
