MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 595 Shopkeeper takes in

 The residents around him were immediately unhappy after hearing this.

“Master Ma, you can’t be so unreasonable.”

"That is, your grudge with the shopkeeper, why bother us?"

“Kick us all out. There are no vacant houses in this city to live in. Where do you want us to go?”

Mr. Ma had a rude look on his face and said unceremoniously: "Let the shopkeeper return double your money, and then you go grab a room somewhere else, isn't it?"

Hearing this, many of the residents silenced their objections and started thinking about it instead.

 “It seems possible…”

Only a few people disagreed. However, the ferocious group of servants around Mr. Ma waved sticks to intimidate, and these ordinary people suddenly did not dare to struggle.

Master Ma shouted: "Housekeeper, refund everyone's money quickly, and then close your inn!"

The shopkeeper knelt down with a plop, crying and begging for mercy with his hands: "Master Ma, this double refund is a disaster for a small shop like mine. I still have two eighty-year-old parents who need to eat at home. I My daughter also needs the money for medical treatment. If all of this is refunded in double, all my work this year will be in vain! Please be kind to Mr. Ma. I will close the shop for one day to compensate for it. Can you let the shop go today? "

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ma refused to give up and even threatened the innkeeper that if he continued to disagree, he would have his servants smash everything in the inn.

When Shen Ningning heard this, she felt that Master Ma was going too far.

She was about to go out to seek justice, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper agreed without hesitation while wiping her tears.

 “Okay…Okay, I’ll refund the money right now.”

 Seeing the shopkeeper nod, the thin accountant took out the abacus.

The residents flocked to the counter, waiting one by one to get their money back.

 Master Ma saw the shopkeeper crying and bursting into tears, gloating and making fun of him.

"You really deserve it. Don't blame me for targeting you. Who made your clerk ignorant and broke the rules? If it ruins my luck this year and prevents gods from coming to my home, I will let you close the store for a whole year!"

The shopkeeper was over fifty, his eyes were full of tears and he could not say anything.

Mr. Ma stared at the residents grabbing all their money, and then waved: "Let's go! Let this shabby shop close by itself."

The shopkeeper stood up staggeringly and asked the remaining clerk and the accountant to go home on their own.

The waiter was a little worried: "Shopkeeper, it's all my fault. I was in a hurry to deliver the goods and forgot the rules tonight. What will you do when we leave?"

The shopkeeper was exhausted: "This is it, I can only go home."

The waiter and the cashier sighed and left.

The shopkeeper was about to close the shop when he saw a slim girl coming out from the backyard.

He was in a daze for a moment, thinking he saw a goddess descending to earth.

Looking carefully again, it turned out to be the little foreign girl he had taken in tonight.

“Girl, I’m sorry, the inn is closed tonight. You should leave as soon as possible. Maybe there are places to stay in other inns.”

As the shopkeeper said this, he returned all the two taels of silver that Shen Ningning gave him to her. Not only that, he also gave her an extra two taels.

Shen Ningning's eyes were complicated: "Shopkeeper, why are you afraid of that Mr. Ma? I have never seen such an unreasonable person. You do business with an open door and you don't owe him anything. No matter what he says?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "You are a foreigner. You don't know that Mr. Ma, his uncle is our Pingcheng garrison master. He has always been so arrogant. If you mess with him, my inn will really be ruined."

Shen Ningning frowned.

 So what if it’s defense? Put in the capital, he is just an official the size of a sesame seed.

Shen Ningning saw that the shopkeeper was packing his things, and it seemed that he really wanted to go home. She couldn't help but ask: "Shopkeeper, can I stay at your house? I'll still pay you for the accommodation."

The shopkeeper was startled: "Huh? But my house is simple, and I'm afraid I'll have to force the girl to live in the wing."

"It doesn't matter. It's so late. I'm afraid it won't be too late if I look for accommodation elsewhere." Anyway, she stayed one night and had to go on her way early the next morning.

The shopkeeper nodded immediately: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter, you don't need to give me any money."

 Shen Ningning helped him pack his things.

She saw that there were many old items on the cabinet behind the accounting room. Although they were not very valuable, they looked old at first glance.

The shopkeeper was very talkative and saw Shen Ningning observing the old antiques on the shelf.

He said with a smile: "This inn was given to me by my father, and it was like this when it was handed over to me. So when Master Ma said that he was going to destroy the inn, I was afraid. This is all my father's life-long effort. Why?" Can it be destroyed in my hands? If you lose a little money, just lose a little. You still have a long life and you can make it back again."

Shen Ningning was infected by his optimistic attitude and couldn't help laughing.

“The shopkeeper is right.”

 The two of them walked outside and closed the door of the shop.

 Turning around, I saw a family of four, poorly dressed, huddled under the eaves of the inn.

The shopkeeper was surprised: "Why haven't you left yet? The inn can't accommodate you tonight."

“Shopkeeper, we have nowhere to go.”

Shen Ningning saw the shopkeeper looking embarrassed. Judging from the clothes of the family of four, they must be homeless poor people who had been helped by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper sighed: "Well, this little girl is going to stay at my house. I still have a woodshed in my house where I can barely stay, so you can go back with us."

The family of four was extremely happy immediately. The woman took her two young children and said, "Quick, thank you, grandpa, the shopkeeper, and kowtow to your benefactor."

 The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it, it's just a matter of hands."

Shen Ningning watched secretly and felt that the shopkeeper was really a kind and enthusiastic person.

As soon as they locked up the inn, Master Ma came back with a group of servants.

Seeing that the inn was really closed, Mr. Ma was sitting on his horse and laughed.

　　"I think you've offended me and still want to open a shop? Hmph."

The stern servant next to him flattered him and said: "Look, my lord, this poor shopkeeper wants to take a few guests back to his own home. Who doesn't know the tradition of the God's Festival? If there are people in the house, the gods will not come in! Servant Look, they are so poor!"

Master Ma sneered and laughed: "Two of his parents are paralyzed in bed, and his daughter is a medicine jar. For so many years, there have been people in his family during the God Festival, and the gods have abandoned them long ago."

 A group of people were talking and laughing.

Shen Ningning frowned and was about to go up to argue, but the shopkeeper secretly grabbed her sleeve.

 The girl looked back and saw the shopkeeper shaking his head slightly at her and whispering: "Let's leave quickly."

This little girl is pretty, and Master Ma is a bastard, so don't let him have any bad thoughts.

Shen Ningning endured this sigh for the time being, and followed the shopkeeper. The family of four also lowered their heads, and the group of people walked away quickly.

Behind him came the more arrogant and wanton ridicule of Mr. Ma and others.

 “Useless things, a bunch of rat-like guys!”

Shen Ningning looked back, and through the moonlight, she remembered this man's appearance.
