"Ah, ah, ah, help, help me..."
Accompanied by a pig-slaughtering scream, Bu Yi was thrown heavily into the courtyard like a tattered sack, his head bleeding and his clothes torn...
Little Jie Kong snorted coldly and walked forward, puffing with anger. "It's you again, you shameless dog. Didn't I warn you last time? If you dare to oppose Sister Xi Tian again, I'll twist your head off and kick it around like a ball?"
Bu Yi trembled and raised his head. The moment he saw the little monk, his heart jolted...
No, why is this brat here again?
"Are you mute? Don't you dare make a sound?" Little Jie Kong was furious and kicked Bu Yi, sending him rolling several times on the ground.
Hmph, brazenly slandering and framing Sister Xi Tian, this dog's courage is growing bolder and bolder...
"Ow, ow, ow, little handsome guy, please, don't hit me anymore!"
Bu Yi immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice to Little Jie Kong. "I know I was wrong, okay? Besides, I didn't know that the shop opposite was opened by Miss Yun. Isn't that how business works? If she takes all the money, then... then I'll have to drink the northwest wind?"
Little Jie Kong: "..."
You ungrateful scum, you've done something despicable and you have the nerve to justify it?
"I'm telling you, if I weren't a monk, I would strangle you to death with my pants pocket right now!"
Little Jie Kong narrowed his eyes, grabbed Bu Yi, and lifted him up. "Shameless thing, I'll take you to see Sister Xi Tian now..."
"No, no, no, little handsome guy, there are so many people outside this shop. If you drag me out like this, where will my reputation go?" Bu Yi pleaded repeatedly.
He was a prominent figure in the capital. If he were beaten black and blue by a child, how could he continue to do business in the commercial circles?
Upon hearing this, Little Jie Kong looked disgusted. "You want face? Your face is uglier than a shoehorn, and you still have the nerve to babble!"
With that, Little Jie Kong, too lazy to argue, grabbed Bu Yi and dragged him away...
Outside the wine shop, many customers were queuing to buy wine. They were all bewildered when they suddenly saw the shopkeeper being dragged out by a child.
"My heavens, what's going on? Why is Shopkeeper Bu Yi beaten like this?"
"I don't know. Perhaps he did something dirty and offended someone..."
"That's really embarrassing. He's so old, yet he can't even defeat a child. If I were him, I would be so ashamed!"
"..."
The customers chattered, and Bu Yi, with his head lowered, didn't dare to utter a single word.
Inside Sweetheart Wine Shop.
Little Xi Tian heard the commotion and quickly came out with Old Ma.
She saw the little monk viciously kick Bu Yi's knee, forcing him to kneel before everyone. Then, he angrily questioned, "Speak, tell us all the dirty things you've done, and let everyone judge what kind of person you are..."
He still had the audacity to call himself a businessman. Even with fierce competition, one shouldn't do such shameless things.
Bu Yi glanced at the shop assistants inside the shop and nodded slightly.
The shop assistants were also clever. Taking advantage of the little monk's inattention, they rushed forward, intending to subdue him on the spot...
But they had severely underestimated Little Jie Kong's combat power. Before they could even reach him, Little Jie Kong swung his fists, and with a few 'bang bang bang' sounds, he sent the shop assistants flying.
Little Xi Tian couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw this...
She quickly walked over and asked, "Jie Kong, have you investigated clearly?"
Without asking, she knew that Bu Yi was behind all of this.
When Bu Yi had gone to Dashui Village to ask for her winemaking recipe before, Little Xi Tian had already seen through his true nature...
"Sister Xi Tian, he hired people to spread rumors outside our wine shop. Those who said our wine had a mixed flavor and tasted bad were also sent by this dog!"
Little Jie Kong's eyes were bloodshot with anger. He tightly gripped Bu Yi's collar, truly wanting to strangle him to death...
Little Xi Tian's plump face instantly became clouded. She looked at Bu Yi with a faint expression and said, "Shopkeeper Bu Yi, you've truly lived in vain. Even a three-year-old child would disdain to do such things, yet you are childish and ridiculous even to a child!"
"Harming others ultimately harms yourself. You tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice. From now on, your wine shop's reputation will be foul, and no one will ever buy wine from your shop again..."
The customers were also very angry upon hearing this.
"Hey, you profiteer, if you're short of money, go find something else to do. Why are you here to disgust others?"
"You guys don't know, this Bu Yi opened a very large restaurant in the capital, it seems to be called Bu Family Restaurant..."
"Heh, since his character is so bad, anyone who goes to Bu Family Restaurant to eat from now on is an idiot!"
"That's right. What if Mr. Bu puts spoiled, rotten, or bad ingredients in the food? We'll all be poisoned..."
"Let's go, let's go. We should go to Sweetheart Wine Shop to buy wine. Their wine is the most authentic!"
"..."
After the customers discussed for a long time, they dispersed and went to queue at the entrance of Sweetheart Wine Shop.
Bu Yi's nose was crooked with anger when he saw this.
It was exactly as Little Xi Tian had said, harming others ultimately harms oneself. This time, he had lost not only money but also his reputation and fame...
The wine shop could close down, but Bu Family Restaurant was his main business.
If the restaurant also lost customers, how would he support himself in the future?
Thinking of this, Bu Yi crawled on his knees to Little Xi Tian and pleaded with cupped hands, "Miss... Miss Yun, I truly know I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me!"
"Hey, hey, hey, who told you to move? Kneel properly!" Little Jie Kong slapped him on the back of his head.
Bu Yi's eyes went starry, and his head felt dizzy...
After a long while, he managed to state his request, "Miss Yun, as long as you take back what you just said and clarify my innocence in front of everyone, I, I am willing to agree to any condition you have!"
A person's reputation and prestige are often more precious than gold and jewels...
"Shopkeeper Bu Yi!" Little Xi Tian frowned, her eyes filled with disgust and contempt as she looked at Bu Yi. "I already gave you a chance before, but you didn't cherish it. You'd better behave yourself!"
After speaking, Little Xi Tian tugged at Jie Kong. "Jie Kong, let's go!"
"Alright!"
The two little buns glared at Bu Yi fiercely, then walked shoulder to shoulder towards Sweetheart Wine Shop...
