Chapter 41: Beaten

"Are you trying to discredit the brewery in order to sell your own beer?"

Shen Qingli did it on purpose, just to see how he would react.

Li Baoliang immediately retorted with a red face and thick neck, "I just couldn't stand their behavior, so I quit their brewery! If you do too many such immoral things, you will suffer retribution."

Shen Qingli nodded thoughtfully, "Then let's go back and think about it first."

"Okay!" Li Baoliang agreed readily, "I'll fill a small bucket of beer for you, and you can go back and have a taste!"

"No thanks." Shen Qingli hadn't decided whether to buy it or not, so it would be bad to take it for free.

"Yes, I'll get you some more white wine!" Li Baoliang was so enthusiastic that no one could stop him.

Shen Qingli: "..."

Li Baoliang warmly saw them out.

"What do you think?" Shen Qingli watched Li Baoliang go home, and waited until they walked some distance away before asking Xu Muchuan.

"I think what he said makes sense. What looks clean may not be clean, and what looks dirty may not be dirty." Xu Muchuan said in a light voice, "I will ask my friends about his family's situation later. The guests can't drink the wrong thing."

Shen Qingli nodded lightly, and they both thought of the same thing.

I went to other stores to ask about the price. The price was not expensive, but it was too unpalatable.

Xu Muchuan always felt that the food tasted rotten and was not as good as the one made by Li Baoliang.

In the end, the two of them didn't buy it and planned to go back to the store to finish their meal first.

"You two are back? I'll go serve the food, let's eat..."

Zhao Lanmei lowered her head deliberately so as not to let Shen Qingli and the others see her face.

"Aunt, what's wrong?" Shen Qingli grabbed Zhao Lanmei's arm and looked at her face.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it, you will be shocked when you see it!
Zhao Lanmei's nose and face were bruised and swollen; she had been beaten.

Xu Muchuan frowned and looked at Wu Wei. He had only been out for a few hours in the morning, so how come he became like this?

Wu Wei looked at Zhao Lanmei with complicated eyes, and then said, "This morning, a man came to see my aunt, so she went out. After a while, I heard something wrong outside, so I went out and found out that my aunt had been beaten! The man was quite cunning, and he ran away when he saw me from a distance, and my aunt didn't let me chase him."

"He came into the store to beat you up?" Xu Muchuan clenched his fists at his sides, veins bulging on the back of his hands, and said angrily.

"It's okay, I'm fine. He just ran out of money and came to me for money," Zhao Lanmei waved her hands and said she was fine, fearing that her nephew would get into trouble for her. "He just drank a little and acted like a fool."

"Aunt, the Public Security Bureau is next to us, let's go call the police!" Shen Qingli was heartbroken when she saw the horrific injuries on her face. As expected, the baobao can only happen once and countless times. If she continues like this, sooner or later she will die in his hands!
"It's useless." Zhao Lanmei smiled bitterly. "I called the police before, and they said that family matters should be handled by family members. They were just giving a warning, so there was no need to trouble them."

"Aunt, you're badly injured. Let's go to the hospital for treatment." Shen Qingli was about to take Zhao Lanmei over, but she couldn't move her. "Qingli, I have thick skin. I'm not as delicate as you think. The wound on my face will be fine in two days. Let's eat first."

Zhao Lanmei insisted on not going to the health center.

Shen Qingli had no choice but to say to Xu Muchuan, "Go buy some external medicine."

"I'll go." Wu Wei actually felt quite embarrassed. If he had kept an eye on them from the side, his aunt wouldn't have been beaten like that. But he knew they were a couple, so he didn't dare to go near them!
Xu Muchuan gave him the money and Wu Wei ran out to buy medicine.

Shen Qingli's brows were knitted tightly, "Aunt, he will definitely ask you for money again next time!"

"I have no money. He asked me for money several times but I just didn't give him any!" Zhao Lanmei shrugged pretending to be strong. "If he asks me for money a few more times, I won't give him any more." "What if he hits you again?" Shen Qingli asked again.

"He won't beat me to death. I..." Zhao Lanmei's voice choked up as she spoke. She turned away and wiped away her tears, fearing that Qingli and the others would worry. "I'm used to it."

"Aunt, divorce him!" Xu Muchuan said in a low voice.

Zhao Lanmei sighed helplessly, "Divorce is not as simple as you say. He won't agree to divorce me unless I die..."

"Auntie!" Shen Qingli interrupted her and said something unlucky. It is never the best way to get rid of it by dying. There is hope only when you are alive! If you die, you will really have nothing. "If you also want to divorce him, let's find a way to make him agree!"

"Of course I want a divorce. I dream about it even in my dreams!" The key is that there is no other way.

Zhao Lanmei waved her hands, "You two have your own lives to live, you don't have to worry about my affairs. He just wants money from me. If he gets you involved, this scoundrel will definitely not let you go!"

After all, it's all for their own good.

Wu Wei came back with the medicine and Shen Qingli applied it to her.

Zhao Lanmei gasped in pain.

Shen Qingli leaned forward and blew gently, "Hoo——"

"..."

The meal made me feel so upset.

Officially open at 12 noon.

Zhao Lanmei didn't feel comfortable showing her face to others, so she didn't go to the store to help today.

Shen Qingli was busy until closing time at 12 o'clock in the evening and counted the day's profits.

I have to buy some wine tomorrow.

In fact, there are not only beer, but also fruit wine and fruit tea with various fruit flavors. The beer in the store is generally drunk by men, while lesbians can only eat fruit plates, crack melon seeds and drink water.

Shen Qingli thought it would be even better if she could drink iced drinks on such hot summer days!

If you want to prepare iced drinks, you have to buy a refrigerator, which is another "investment expense".

Shen Qingli cut the watermelon into pieces and put them into a tall glass. Then she poured in Sprite and garnished it with mint leaves. The simplest watermelon Sprite water was ready. In fact, it would taste better if you added ice cubes. If conditions permit, you can also add various small ingredients, but there is nothing now.

"Is this drinkable?" Xu Muchuan looked at her and saw why she mixed Sprite and watermelon together?

"Try it." Shen Qingli motioned for him to drink first.

Xu Muchuan took a small sip and it seemed to taste better than Sprite water alone.

"We need to increase the number of drinks in our store. I'll write down the recipes for the drinks later."

Shen Qingli said that it would definitely be the first in the county!
I still need to prepare some other small ingredients, I will buy them tomorrow morning.

"Actually, I thought about it and it's not necessary for all the beer to be in bottles. We can put an extra-large beer barrel here." In this way, the cups for drinking beer will need to be customized, and there will also be glass cups and plastic cups for drinking fruit tea and fruit wine... It will be convenient for customers who don't drink in the store to take the food away, and the cost will not be too expensive.

OK! The money I earned these days is gone again~
