Chapter 1281 - 1277: Trouble at the Restaurant (Fifth Update)

"Hehe, sister-in-law, don’t be angry. I... I was just joking with you!

Uncle Dog Egg and Ruan Xiao Jiao are innocent, I won’t speak of it anymore, isn’t that enough!"

Mrs. Lin took the initiative to admit fault and then shifted responsibility to someone else.

"Actually, this whole thing, it wasn’t me who said it—it’s what the women in the village have been talking about! You know, I’m someone who likes to chat with them!

Upon hearing about it, I came to ask, if it wasn’t true, I definitely wouldn’t have said anything!" Mrs. Lin said with a smile.

Mrs. Jin still had a stance of not backing down, staring hard at Mrs. Lin.

With no other choice, Mrs. Lin had to swear an oath, "Sister-in-law, I, Lin Xiaozao, swear, this matter truly has nothing to do with me!

If I spread this rumor, then let me choke to death while eating, drown while drinking, or die while using the restroom! Is that enough?"

Mrs. Jin finally spoke, "I believe it’s not you, but you should not talk about it again. If I hear it from your mouth again, I absolutely won’t be polite!"

"Yes, yes, what Sister-in-law says is true, I promise not to say it anymore, will you forgive me?" Mrs. Lin replied.

"Alright, I believe you. Hurry along, I have other matters to attend to!" Mrs. Jin started to send Mrs. Lin away.

Mrs. Lin had come intending to see Mrs. Jin embarrassed, and now that Mrs. Jin wasn’t, she didn’t gain anything herself.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly made her escape, disappearing in an instant.

Once Mrs. Lin had left, Mrs. Jin angrily kicked the nearest table—

"Bang..."

The teacups and saucers on the table fell to the ground, breaking into pieces everywhere.

Mrs. Jin found it didn’t quell her anger at all, so she continued to smash things, turning her room into a mess within a short time.

"Damn you, Mu Dade, continuing to tangle with that bitch!

If you dare to do it first, I’ll dare to do it next, neither of you will die well with that bitch!"

After cursing Mu Dade, and seeing the mess all over, Mrs. Jin’s anger hadn’t subsided!

Thinking it over, she decided she must do something to vent her frustration!

Meanwhile, Xia Guagua, who was frustrated with Mu Shuangshuang, also resolved to give Mu Shuangshuang a hard time.

Synchronized with Mrs. Jin, she began executing a long-planned scheme!

...

Mrs. Lin didn’t gain anything from Mrs. Jin, but upon leaving her residence, she gossipily spoke about other matters in front of several women.

In short, she saved face, but didn’t mention anything about Mu Dade and Ruan Xiao Jiao.

Mu Shuangshuang heard about this incident from Yu Si Niang, knowing Mrs. Jin was wary, and decided not to involve herself!

Ultimately, Mrs. Jin has to manage things well, or no matter what Mu Shuangshuang says or does, it’s useless!

The next day, after breakfast, Mu Shuangshuang headed to town to check on the restaurant’s operations and to evaluate achievements.

The matter with Mu Tou had been smoothly resolved.

Now everyone knew that Mu Tou was the top chef invited back to Chengfeng Restaurant after its brief closure.

The dishes were not only delicious, but this time they introduced many new choices, garnering enough attention!

Chengfeng Restaurant unknowingly became one of the finest in Qingshan Town.

Even the grand Jiu Si Xuan often couldn’t compete with Chengfeng Restaurant.

But that’s another matter!

When Mu Shuangshuang arrived at the restaurant, it was still early. She took the ledger, exchanged a few words with Yu Dahai, and went upstairs to focus on the accounts.

She didn’t manage the affairs of the first-floor hall.

Little did she expect, trouble arose shortly after going upstairs.

Ah Cai came to find Mu Shuangshuang in the private room on the second floor, while Mu Shuangshuang was resting with her eyes closed.

The door suddenly burst open, startling Mu Shuangshuang.

Ah Cai appeared pale before Mu Shuangshuang, speaking haltingly.

"Boss... Boss, there’s... Trouble..." Ah Cai said.

"What’s going on, speak properly!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Down... Downstairs someone... someone vomited blood, two... two people!"

Ah Cai was a staff member responsible for serving and delivering dishes; being this scared indicated seriousness.

Mu Shuangshuang glanced at the room’s ledger, finally deciding to secure it and lock the door before following Ah Cai downstairs.

By now, the hall was chaos.

Everyone was screaming; several staff members in the hall were confused.

One by one, they all didn’t know what had happened.

When Mu Shuangshuang appeared, they finally seemed to have a target, a leader, gradually calming down.

Mu Shuangshuang said, "Everyone calm down, don’t make noise, let’s talk this over!"

As Mu Shuangshuang spoke, she glanced at the two people lying on the floor.

Both appeared in pain, the most crucial part being they pointed at the snails they’d eaten, shouting, "Poison... Their food is poisoned..."

"Ah Cai, go call the doctor! Zhao Qing, report to the authorities, I shall see if today it’s Chengfeng Restaurant’s food that’s poisoned, or someone making trouble!"

Mu Shuangshuang ordered.

"Pft, how can you speak like that, they’re like that and you say they’re making trouble, are you heartless!"

Someone in the crowd pointed at Mu Shuangshuang and cursed.

Then another person said, "Everyone saw it, these two people only got poisoned from eating here at this restaurant; I’d say don’t eat anything from this restaurant anymore!"

"Who are you two? Why are you instigating diners not to eat at Chengfeng Restaurant!" Mu Shuangshuang glanced at the two talking.

Both were older men, with sneaky looks!

Mu Shuangshuang was certain someone set her up but didn’t know who!

"We’re not instigating, we’re afraid to get poisoned, food may be big, but nothing’s bigger than life! We want the truth..."

The man shouted loudly, prompting clueless individuals to start shouting.

Some even began saying, "I just feel the food here is poisoned!

Why doesn’t anyone else’s food cause problems, only this place’s makes me want more!"

"..."

Mu Shuangshuang found the logic baffling, if they want more, isn’t it delicious?

Why accuse of poisoning?

"This is a shady place, let’s smash it!" Someone began to incite emotions among bystanders,

The man who spoke initially also picked up a bench, preparing to smash the restaurant.

Mu Shuangshuang was furious; she stomped her foot on the bench, shouting to the crowd, "Who’s brave enough! Things aren’t clear, yet you dare destroy my restaurant, aren’t you afraid of lawsuits or prison?"

Mu Shuangshuang’s stomp was heavy, the man tried several times and couldn’t move the chair!

Finally, he thought a bit and continued, "You say things aren’t clear, yet why are two people collapsed, appearing as though poisoned, and still claim they ate food from Chengfeng Restaurant!"
