The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Novel - Chapter 213
Chapter 213: Sadly She is A Jinx
Some of the customers, who didn’t know what was going on, nodded in agreement.
Manager Liu immediately asked in a serious tone, “Then, Sir, how much do you want in compensation?”
The man extended five fingers.
“Five taels of silver?” Manager Liu asked.
“Do you think I’m a beggar? Five hundred teals!” The man demanded an exorbitant price.
The moment he said that, everyone gasped. This man was really brazen. Was his body made of gold? The manager’s offer of five teals was already very generous. After all, three taels of silver were enough to feed a large family for half a year.
“After you pay me, Yuelai Inn will have to make a public apology and stop cooking fish. Otherwise, I’ll come here every day to make a scene and let everyone in Ning An town know that the fish in Yuelai Inn are poisonous. Let’s see if anyone will come here to eat in the future!” The man threatened.
Manager Liu was amused by this shameless customer. Instead of getting angry, he laughed and said, “Sir, it seems that you still don’t understand what I said before. All right, I’ll say it again. The fish sold by Yuelai Inn are only carps, crucian carps, grass carps, and big-headed carps. Everyone, tell me, are these fish poisonous?” The second half of the sentence was directed at all the guests. “How come we’ve been serving fish for half a month, and we have no complaints, but suddenly, you came and shouted that you’ve been poisoned? Then, you demanded five hundred taels of silver as compensation and a public apology from Yuelai Inn. Then, you demand that Yuelai Inn stop serving fish. It sounds like you want Yuelai Inn to close down!”
Manager Liu spoke eloquently, and the guests in the main hall began to whisper to each other. They immediately understood that the man was trying to frame Yuelai Inn!
Soon, someone stood up and said, “Manager, I’ve been eating fish here for more than half a month. Whether it’s carps, carps, grass carps, or bighead carps, they are very delicious. Plus, I’m sure they are not poisonous. See, aren’t I standing here perfectly fine?”
…
“That’s right. I’ve also been eating fish here for more than ten days. I also feel very fine. The fish tastes good, and they put less stress on the body.”
“I agree.”
The customers in the hall all agreed that the fish made by Yuelai Inn was not poisonous at all.
The man looked around and realized that the situation was getting worse for him. He gritted his teeth and rolled on the ground, continuing to curse, “How can this man be so black-hearted? I was poisoned by his food, and now he’s twisting the truth to slander my name…” He rolled on the ground and screamed in pain.
Manager Liu was speechless when he saw such a scoundrel.
Just as he was about to report this to the authorities, Lin Yuelan suddenly stepped forward. She squatted down and asked the man with a worried face, “uncle, are you in pain?”
“Ouch…” The man shouted, “Yes, Uncle is in a lot of pain!”
Lin Yuelan nodded, then took the man’s hand and made a gesture of checking his pulse. Then, she put his hand down and said seriously, “Yes, uncle, you’re indeed poisoned. The poison is very powerful, and it’s about to erode your internal organs.”
Lin Yuelan’s words shocked everyone in the hall.
Manager Liu was even more confused. He walked to Lin Yuelan’s side and whispered to her, “Miss Lin, it’s obvious that someone deliberately set up this man to frame Yuelai Inn. He’s shouting that he has a stomach ache, but it’s clearly fake. How could he be poisoned?”
Lin Yuelan whispered back, “Manager Liu, don’t worry. Just sit back and watch the show.”
Although Manager Liu was a little suspicious, he knew that Lin Yuelan was very smart. Since she told him to watch the show, that was what he’d do.
When the man heard Lin Yuelan, he immediately panicked. He knew very well that he was not poisoned.
Therefore, when Lin Yuelan diagnosed the poison in his body, he panicked.
