Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Disaster Comes

Jia Aizhi was startled and hastily said, "Director, don’t listen to her nonsense. She thinks she’s a goddess descended from heaven. She claimed that I wanted to introduce a guy to her. Look at her bewitching appearance, how could my nephew possibly be interested in her? She made up such an unbelievable story. She must have intentionally caused trouble because she didn’t meet the venue standards. Don’t let her fool you."

Upon hearing these words, the onlookers were half in doubt. To be honest, Tong Yao was indeed beautiful, but the claim that she was introduced to a guy and threatened to withhold her certification if she got married was hardly believable.

Working here, they had seen many beautiful ladies! Maybe many wanted to be Jia Aizhi’s niece-in-law. Clearly, Tong Yao was fussing because she failed to get her certification.

Jia Aizhi’s colleagues, however, knew the truth and remained silent.

Jiang You glanced at the staff’s evasive expressions and seemed to understand something. Frowning, he asked again, "What was the reason for her venue not meeting the standards?"

"This..."

Jia Aizhi stuttered without giving a clear explanation. Seeing this, Jiang You said to Tong Yao, "You can go and reapply with other staff."

Tong Yao’s eyes lit up. She immediately nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Director."

Jia Aizhi was livid, but didn’t dare to speak. Jiang You glanced at her and said, "Everyone, finish your work five minutes earlier this afternoon and gather in the meeting room."

Upon hearing his words, Jia Aizhi was nearly driven to madness. She glared at Tong Yao furiously but didn’t dare to utter a word.

With the director around, everyone increased their efficiency. Soon, it was Tong Yao’s turn. After filling in her information and leaving the Bureau, Si Xiaohui immediately scurried over, "Sister-in-law, have you settled it?"

She had been observing the situation from outside. Seeing a man enter and say a few words, Jia Aizhi calmed down. She guessed that the man was possibly Jia Aizhi’s superior, and the matter must have been settled.

"It’s settled." Tong Yao nodded with dissatisfaction flashed on her face, "Next time if you’re scared, just keep your mouth shut and move aside. Don’t encourage others while demoralizing yourself. We came here to legally process our document, we didn’t steal or rob, why were you scared?"

If Si Xiaohui were a guy, she would have kicked her. She was really weak.

"..."

Knowing she was at fault, Si Xiaohui didn’t dare to talk back.

Suing by their side, even Si Boyi felt ashamed and didn’t dare to say a word. Although he didn’t step out, he was frightened inside.

Tong Yao brought them to the vegetable market to buy a chicken, made a chicken porridge, and delivered it to the hospital building. Jiang You hasn’t arrived yet, and the one taking care of the old man was Wenqing.

The old man loved Tong Yao’s chicken porridge a lot. Seeing this, Wenqing was delighted. These past few days, the old man’s appetite was bad. His spirits were lowering. Today, for some reason, his appetite suddenly improved.

Hearing Wenqing’s words and looking at the emaciated look of the old man, Tong Yao thought: this must be his final rally.

Thinking that the old man might not live long, Tong Yao decided to stay a little longer at the hospital and only left when the old man fell sleepy. Leaving the hospital, she went to observe the wasp nest. She had to admit that these little wasps were successful architects, the earthquake didn’t affect their nests at all.

Seeing Tong Yao, the wasps, excited as if injected with chicken blood, spun around Tong Yao, buzzing about wanting to eat tomatoes. Tong Yao immediately agreed on the condition that the nuisance wasps follow her around for a few days.

Jia Aizhi was likely to cause her trouble out of hatred.

After a good night’s rest, the next morning, Tong Yao cooked chicken porridge and went to the hospital again, only to learn that the old man passed away peacefully in his sleep the previous night.

Feeling a sense of loss, Tong Yao was also relieved for the old man. Countless sick elderly suffer from excruciating pain. The old man’s son and daughter-in-law were filial, he didn’t suffer in the end, he was indeed a fortunate person.

For the next two days, Tong Yao stayed at home to rest. On Monday, she visited the Bureau again but didn’t see Jia Aizhi. She heard that Jia Aizhi was disciplined, but she was not sure about the details and didn’t want to inquire further. Fortunately, the business license and trademark were processed together.

In the evening, when the students returned home from school and Tong Yao was tidying up the shop, Si Xiaohui and Si Boyi were cooking at home. Suddenly, Jia Qing led five or six men into the shop. They looked grim and threatening, as if they wanted to devour Tong Yao.

Seeing this group of people from afar, Tong Yao ordered the troublemaker wasps to hurry up and get help. She wanted to leave, but the men had already surrounded her, blocking her way.

Jia Qing stomped into the shop and kicked over a stool, "Tong Yao, have you grown a lion’s heart and a leopard’s guts? How dare you cause trouble at the Bureau? Do you really think we can do nothing to you?"

Before he finished speaking, a short and chubby man stepped forward, "Aqing, is it her who made your aunt lose her job?"

Jia Qing gnashed his teeth and said, "Uncle, it was her. She became arrogant after moving to town, even severed ties with me. Unfortunately, her man is not here, or I would have revealed her whorish demeanor to him."

Jia Qing was full of vulgarisms. There was only Tong Yao here; he didn’t fear anyone. Even if Si Boyi was around, he still wouldn’t be afraid. Could the six or seven of them not handle Si Boyi?

The thought of his several unsuccessful visits infuriated Jia Qing. He thought Tong Yao would be on the verge of begging for mercy. Instead, she went to the Bureau and got his aunt fired.

He thought that in seven or eight years, his aunt could retire and live on a pension. Now, she lost that chance. His aunt was so angry that she didn’t eat anything all day and couldn’t get out of bed. Every time he thought of this, Jia Qing seethed with anger.

Tong Yao’s face turned cold, but she didn’t retort. They were in overwhelming strength, arguing with them would only disadvantage her it wasn’t worth it at the moment.

They anticipated they would return to make trouble, but didn’t expect they would bring so many people.

Unfortunately, Jia Aizhi’s husband, Liu Xianli, was not ready to let Tong Yao off. Upon hearing they had got the right person, he said grimly, "This woman looks like a reincarnated seductress. Today, let’s strip her naked and toss her onto the street. No one should be scared. If something happens, I’ll take the responsibility."

Liu Xianli was a man of letters, and he knew the consequences of beating someone, so he had no intention of physical violence. Instead, he decided to humiliate Tong Yao and make her a laughingstock in all of Li City.

In this era, it was not uncommon for people to stripped naked for stealing dogs or cows and nothing ever came of it. He believed this time would be the same.

Perhaps Liu Xianli had never heard of the saying "villains die of too much talking." He was not long-winded. He was the first to charge forward.

Hearing his words, Jia Qing roared, bypassed Liu Xianli and pressed Tong Yao onto the table. His hand reached toward Tong Yao’s collar. He dreamed of Tong Yao many times and always wondered what she looked like. This time, he was determined to see for himself.

He even fantasized about locking the door and forcing himself on Tong Yao on the table.
