They were illiterate and they did not have any connections in the town thus they had no idea how to deal with soone like Madam i who had connections in the Yan.
Yu Dong turned to look at Zi Zan and then asked, "Zan Zan, did your boss harm soone else? Maybe her sister-in-law also cost soone's life. As long as you know anything just tell
about it, I assure you that you will not have to worry about anything."
Zi Zan pursed her lips but when she thought about the heartless things that her boss and her sister-in-law did she no longer felt hesitant. She thought for a mont and then said, "They are indeed ruthless. They hire people almost every month, I thought that it was because there is a lot of work in the restaurant but it seems like I was thinking too much!"
"They do not hire people every month because there is a rush in the restaurant but because sothing happens to the hired rs or won every now and then."
As she spoke, her expression could not help but turn dark. Zi Zan now realized that she was the one who was foolish enough to not see what was going on in the restaurant, if she had paid more attention to the things happening around her then nothing like this would have happened to her.
She often worried about her family and thought that if she left then her family would suffer, if she had known that her grandparents would be this ruthless then Zi Zan wouldn't have worried about anything.
"What do you an by that?" Ye Zexian asked with a worried note in his voice, he had a feeling that it was not as simple as Zi Zan said it was.
When Zi Zan saw that her father was worried, she was a bit hesitant but she still told the truth to Zi Mu and Ye Zexian.
"It's nothing. I have heard rumours from the other workers that the Boss of the restaurant often beats servers and chefs when she is drunk and she is really jealous of the disciples who are accepted by Mistress Lin. Thus she targets them more than the rest."
"Her sister-in-law is not a good person either, she molested and forced many rs who later vanished. However every ti the family of these workers ca to ask for justice, the two of them provided evidence and told everyone that the rs ran away with their lovers while the won and n stole money before running away. They even made the families of those servers and workers pay them money."
She then paused and added, "However my master told
that those servers were most likely killed by them. I would have too if my master did not co back in ti…"
The restaurant owner respected Mistress Lin as the latter was the granddaughter of an Imperial Chef and thus Madam i did not cause trouble for Madam Lin but at the sa ti, she was really envious of the chefs who could learn under Madam Lin and thus targeted them.
Even the reason was rather petty. Madam i wanted her daughter and sister-in-law to learn from Madam Lin but Madam Lin knew what kind of unscrupulous people were living in the i family.
She absolutely refused to teach them, if not for the fact that Madam Lin had a sick husband, she would have left the restaurant and looked for a job sowhere but now Madam Lin was getting old and she had baggage of elderly husbands, no one wanted to hire her.
Thus, she could only stay with Madam i and her family.
When Ye Zexian heard Zi Zan say that Madam i and her family had killed so many servers, he was really furious. He smacked Zi Zan on the foot and then said, "You are bold, you knew that those won were really cruel and yet you stayed with them. You are lucky that your master ca back and sent you back or else…"
Ye Zexian really wanted to beat his rebellious daughter, however, when he saw her condition, he could not bear to do that.
"Alright, don't bla Zan Zan. It's because we did not do a good job," Zi Mu said to his husband, he then turned to look at Yu Dong before asking, "Can we deal with them? Even if they killed those servers and workers, it's not like we can create trouble with them?"
After all, there was no evidence that it was Madam i and her sister-in-law who beat them to death. There were no advanced machines that could detect their lies or catch their cris.
Yu Dong smiled at Zi Mu and then said, "There is no need for you to worry. You are only in charge of taking Zi Zan with you to the town with . Since these two black hearted people like to oppress others and force them in a corner then I will make sure that they will have to pay for their cris."
No one else could catch these two won in the act but Yu Dong was different, she could not only catch hold of their cris but she could also make those people confess to their sins.

There were quite several pedestrians around six and seven am in the morning. It was sumr and the weather was really hot but even then so of the rs went to bring water from the wells that were located on the outskirts of the town. Even though it was a long and arduous journey, they were willing to work hard as they did not want to die of thirst.
While the hawkers were already roaming around the streets as they were worried that they would lose their business.
"Zan Zan, this is the place?" Yu Dong asked as she ca to a stop in front of the restaurant which was yet to open.
Zan Zan who was lying on the cart nodded, "This is the place. The boss is i Shu, and her sister-in-law is called Gu Mu. Both of them are equally horrible!"
