The boy was spouting lies, and she needed to inform Li Ziyu; she couldn't let herself be deceived by him!
Watching the two enter the house, as soon as the door closed, Shi Tian exchanged a glance with Old Zhou. They had been shut out!
"Old Zhou, you must need to hire a server for your shop, right? What do you think about Aunt Huang?" After circling the yard, Shi Tian asked Old Zhou behind her.
Old Zhou was a rough man who could run that shop, but he still lacked a bit in management skills. Aunt Huang could tidy up the yard beautifully; she definitely had a knack for household chores. If Old Zhou could get Aunt Huang's help, the shop would surely thrive.
However, getting Aunt Huang on board wouldn't be easy. Given Li Ziyu's personality, she was probably inside dragging Aunt Huang along to condemn Old Zhou's misdeeds.
Aunt Huang wasn't foolish, and Li Ziyu was even less so. From Aunt Huang's attitude towards Shi Tian, it was clear she had already guessed the truth. Rather than sacrificing both of them, it would be better to pull Shi Tian out of this mess and let Old Zhou figure things out on his own.
Ah! But what if she wouldn’t go! The moment Old Zhou mentioned having Aunt Huang work at the shop as a server, his eyes lit up.
Glancing at Old Zhou and then at the tightly closed door, it seemed this matter might not happen after all! Li Ziyu had intervened; she would unconditionally stand by Aunt Huang's side. Shi Tian felt uncertain about how this situation would unfold!
She planned to admit to stealing the duck straightforwardly; in her eagerness to entertain them, she had made a mistake and would accept her punishment! Just one duck—if she owned up to it sincerely and offered compensation, there might still be a glimmer of hope. She decided to deflate Old Zhou’s confidence and leave it to fate!
Turning towards the corner of the yard where the duck pen was located, she carefully examined the ducks inside. They all looked quite plump; they would surely taste delicious when roasted.
After waiting in the yard for two or three hours, the door finally opened. Before Shi Tian could speak, Old Zhou rushed forward.
"Miss, this is all Zhou Ge's fault; I’m here to apologize. This has nothing to do with Xiao Yu or Xiao Tian."
"When they found out this duck belonged to you, they immediately dragged me over here to apologize. Please don’t blame them; it’s all my fault!"
Old Zhou's apology seemed quite sincere; now it depended on whether Aunt Huang would accept it.
With an angry glare at Old Zhou, Aunt Huang sneered and said, "Since you’re here on behalf of Xiao Yu, I won’t hold it against you this time. But if you had eaten that duck yourself, I would have sharpened my cleaver just for you!"
Aunt Huang dealt with matters decisively and without hesitation. Shi Tian began to doubt whether Li Ziyu’s judgment was somewhat flawed; if Cui Cui from the book had such a personality, she wouldn’t have ended up as a tragedy! But that was how mainstream education was back then.
"Tian Ge, I want to treat Aunt Huang to dinner—Sichuan Cuisine and Home-cooked Dishes!" After settling her grievances with Old Zhou, Aunt Huang raised her head proudly and began ordering dishes in front of Aunt Huang.
She was showcasing her family status right in front of Aunt Huang! She had to give her face; otherwise, Aunt Huang might start digging into her territory again!
No problem, I'll go buy some groceries and make sure you won't be disappointed. With that, Shi Tian turned to leave.
"Hey, why not come over to my place? I have all the spices you need. It’ll give Zhou Ge a chance to express his apologies." Old Zhou knew how to seize the moment.
