Someone like you, dare to battle me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Leopard gave a signal to his underlings, who immediately pinned Mu Tou against the wall and started beating him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a moment, the alley was filled with the anguished cries of Mu Tou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Tou was beaten beyond recognition, and suddenly, the answer flashed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re Ma Jun’s men!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among everyone Mu Tou knew, only Ma Jun would associate with these scoundrels. More importantly, the whole thing was too coincidental!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you’re not stupid, actually guessed it right!\" Mr. Leopard laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Are you with Ma Jun or Xia Guagua?\" Mu Tou really wanted to curse Xia Guagua, but a trace of hope inside told him that Xia Guagua might not be involved, and everything was Ma Jun’s fault!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you say so? Without orders from above, would Ma Jun do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Mu Tou’s face turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why, I... I’m the chef at the restaurant, all those dishes require me to prepare, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, come on, you were needed when there was no recipe, now that there’s a recipe, does it matter who the chef is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Leopard told Mu Tou the truth, and Mu Tou’s last shred of hope vanished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xia Guagua, Ma Jun, I, Mu Tou, will never let you go, never...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Tou knelt on the ground, swearing his vengeance, but what could it achieve?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the money bag in hand, Mr. Leopard led his gang out of the alley. At the alley entrance, Ma Jun was waiting for Mr. Leopard’s silver note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Returning what’s yours!\" Mr. Leopard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jun took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Leopard, \"Good brother! You’ve earned this, use it to treat the brothers to some drinks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Leopard gladly accepted the silver and quickly left with his gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Ma Jun, he pocketed the silver note and happily returned to Xia Guagua Restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he didn’t know was, after Xia Guagua brought back the fake recipe, she studied it for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she analyzed it, the more discrepancies she found, and finally, after consulting a nearby cook, she realized she had been deceived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called recipe was nothing but a few common dishes, Xia Guagua had been tricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Xia Guagua remembered her silver note had been recovered, so she refrained from getting angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the restaurant, Ma Jun presented the silver note to Xia Guagua as if offering a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua was thrilled, although she missed out on the recipe, her silver note was back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, she didn’t profit or lose this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when Xia Guagua opened the money bag and saw two pieces of paper inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua went crazy, \"Where’s the money, my money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua loudly questioned Ma Jun, who was equally perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I don’t know, owner, this money bag was snatched back from Mu Tou, Mu Tou... Oh no!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jun shouted, he didn’t care about anything else, called out the restaurant’s workers, and went to the alley to catch someone, but there was no trace of Mu Tou!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Tou... was gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing the severity of the problem, Ma Jun nearly fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s over, all over—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Tou ran off with the silver, and now he couldn’t even be the restaurant steward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without alerting anyone, Ma Jun discreetly took some valuable items from the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even big items like screens were quietly transported out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua waited in the restaurant all day, but Mu Tou didn’t come back, and even Ma Jun was nowhere to be found!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing she’d been played, Xia Guagua had no idea where to find them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, other restaurant workers, wary because of Ma Jun’s disappearance, were having second thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all refused to continue working, demanding Xia Guagua pay their wages!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua had no money for wages; her last six hundred taels were taken by Mu Tou!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workers thought Xia Guagua was unwilling to pay, so they stormed into her room and took her gold and silver items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the restaurant’s tables and chairs were moved out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last to leave was Mr. Zhao, the storyteller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been there for ten to fifteen days, besides food, hadn’t received a single penny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the workers, he didn’t ask Xia Guagua for wages but instead earnestly advised her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Owner, I’ve heard about your situation with the restaurant across the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, people prefer the atmosphere of the restaurant across the street over ours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover... moreover, over there, they live with dignity, while here, they might have initially taken some money, but no one has dignity in front of you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many things money can’t buy, you, as a young lady, should think about your future. This restaurant likely won’t be able to continue, better sell it for a sum of silver!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said his piece, Mr. Zhao carried his worn-out baggage and walked out of Xia Guagua Restaurant’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a madwoman, Xia Guagua sat on the stage in the center of the restaurant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the bustling restaurant across the street, then at her own pathetic restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The money was gone, the people were gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restaurant was empty, missing many tables and chairs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restaurant across from Chengfeng Restaurant had closed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the biggest scoop of the day; people around were watching for fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing heartily, and some even brought items to Chengfeng Restaurant for congratulations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang merely smiled, but didn’t accept the gifts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because among these people were many who initially pressured her to lower prices!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like flies, clustering wherever there’s action!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the crowd, Mu Shuangshuang announced her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, due to our restaurant’s chef being unwell and needing to recuperate at home, Chengfeng Restaurant will be closed for three days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three days, we’ll introduce more new dishes! Welcome new and returning customers to taste them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though curious, upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s mention of new dishes, excitement grew again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang stood at the doorway, glanced at the disheveled Xia Guagua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold smile curled at her lips, she understood Xia Guagua too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a cockroach you can’t kill, after this, Xia Guagua would surely make a comeback!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she was also curious about what low tricks Xia Guagua would resort to next!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dusk, Mu Shuangshuang drove her carriage back to Er Gui Village!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As fate would have it, Xia Guagua also packed up some valuables and returned to Er Gui Village!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her final assets were just the land and property deeds of the restaurant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua consoled herself that after selling them, she could surely make a comeback!\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-06-10T06:02:09.521Z",1,"novelbin.me","75516d9fe6db5f3dfd0df4e63c9fcd024651183a334658093ccf327dfd70515c","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-1253","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-1251",1282,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-cover.jpg"]
