Chapter 43: Something Happened in the Bathhouse
Because of twenty yuan a piece, almost the whole village knows about it.
Thousands of people in the village all knew that Tao Jianshu and his son had picked up 20 yuan on the street, so many people put down their farm work and ran over to claim it, but they couldn't say where they lost it.
For a while, rumors began to appear, some people said that Tao Jianshu wanted to swallow the money privately, and some people felt that since the money was picked up, it should be handed over.
But twenty yuan is not a small amount of money, it is impossible to hand it over, and Tao Xueming will not agree, after all, this money is his own.
"Dad, take this money back. ”
Tao Xueming whispered.
Dad lowered his head and didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Tao Xueming stuffed it into his pocket before grabbing it, and the villagers were excited when they saw it: "What are you doing, why did you take the money away......
"I picked it up in the first place, what's wrong with taking it away, not taking it away for you?"
Tao Xueming said calmly.
"You kid, you should hand over the money to the village after picking it up, how can you swallow it privately......"
"Your waists are so good, it doesn't hurt to stand. ”
Tao Xueming replied loudly: "Uncle Li, did you pick up a hoe a few days ago, why didn't you turn it in?"
"Aunt Wang, I heard that you caught a hare in the field, didn't you eat it yet, why didn't you hand it in. ”
"There is also the son of the old Zhang family, who picked up two catties of pork in the village during the Chinese New Year, and didn't take it back and eat it secretly, why didn't he take it out and hand it in. ”
"Now that I have picked up the money, you will let me hand it over, why, is this fair!"
Everyone was stunned and had nothing to say, but the person who had just been named was terrified.
Few people know about them, how did this little baby know.
Tao Xueming snorted coldly, as far as the things in your family are concerned, Lao Tzu understands them all clearly, and he is in a hurry, so he will shake them all out for you.
"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, go home, and deal with the money you pick up. ”
The village chief began to drive people out, after all, this is his own home, and it is not surprising that they are all crowded together.
Everyone was kicked out of the house, and Tao Xueming also left with the money openly.
After leaving, those people spoke ill of the father and son behind their backs.
……
When I got home, it was already dark.
Tao Xueming was also tired enough, he didn't expect that because of twenty yuan, he could cause such a big movement.
If it weren't for his sharp mouth and high IQ, he would have been bullied by the villagers today.
Just now, he left those people speechless.
"Come over for dinner. ”
The stepmother suddenly shouted.
"Son, it's time to eat. ”
Dad said.
Tao Xueming pouted, he didn't want to see his stepmother, he was like a drama spirit every day, and there were a lot of things.
"Come and eat, it's cold in a while, I boiled eggs. The stepmother stood in the door and shouted.
Dad looked at Tao Xueming, Tao Xueming shrunk his neck, and could only follow honestly.
Entering the room, Tao Xueming saw two dishes on the dining table, and there were eggs and a few pieces of bacon in the bowl.
It's such a simple dish, and it's very hearty compared to before.
"Come, one egg per person, to replenish the body. ”
The stepmother gave the eggs to Tao Xueming, as well as the father, and the daughter Cai'e pouted dissatisfiedly.
Tao Xueming was surprised in his heart, what happened to his stepmother, she was willing to give them eggs, this is wrong.
The stepmother also served them porridge and told them to be careful of scalding.
Tao Xueming didn't think that his stepmother would get better, there must be something.
Sure enough, the stepmother couldn't hide it after a while, and looked at them with a smile and asked, "I heard that you didn't borrow the money today, but you picked up twenty?"
Dad nodded, the loudspeaker had been broadcast before, and the whole village knew about it.
The stepmother laughed happily: "That's great, you two are so lucky, Cai'e's material fee has been settled." ”
With that, she stretched out her hand and began to ask for money.
"The money is mine. Tao Xueming said.
"Taozi, give the money to Mom. The stepmother said with a smile.
Tao Xueming was eating, pretending not to hear, and his stepmother said again, but he still didn't pay attention to the other party.
Ahem.
Dad coughed and reminded him.
Tao Xueming reluctantly took out the money, and his stepmother immediately snatched it away, and laughed happily.
", are you at home? ”
The eldest aunt came in from outside, holding a cabbage in her hand, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Eat, you eat first, I'll sit down." ”
"I'm full. ”
Tao Xueming put down his chopsticks, got up and went out, and returned to his room.
Packing up his things, Tao Xueming is ready to go back to the county.
After a while, Dad came into the room and took two dollars out of his pocket and handed them over.
"It's okay, I have it on me, Dad, you can keep it. ”
Tao Xueming glanced at the room and asked, "What is the second aunt doing here?"
"Borrow money. ”
Tao Xueming was stunned, borrowing money?
Could it be because of the twenty pieces I picked up?
"It's really shameless. ”
Tao Xueming shook his head secretly, he didn't lend it during the day, but now he is still cheeky and comes over, it's really amazing.
"Dad, I'll go first, I'll come back to see you when I have time, and I'll bring you something delicious next time." ”
Tao Xueming turned around and walked out after speaking, and his father sent him all the way to the entrance of the village.
"Go back early, my son is gone. ”
Tao Xueming waved his hand, pedaled on the bicycle and left slowly.
Looking at his departing back, Father Tao sighed deeply, and then reluctantly turned back.
Tao Xueming himself sighed, he really wanted to pick up his father and leave here and follow him to live in the county seat.
But the current living conditions do not allow him to do so.
is full of calculations, and it is estimated that there are only a few thousand yuan on the body, and even 10,000 yuan has not reached it.
When did you become a 10,000 yuan household, and you came to pick up your father and leave in the scenery, even if your stepmother knelt down and begged, she would never care.
……
For about an hour, Tao Xueming pushed his bicycle into the county seat, and the tire of the car was flat halfway, and he pushed it back.
Walking to the door of the bathhouse, Tao Xueming parked the car and prepared to go in.
Wrong.
Tao Xueming suddenly stopped, raised his head, and looked at the building in front of him.
Gone wrong?
Tao Xueming looked puzzled, and then he looked around, yes, this is it.
But what was the situation in front of the building, it was dark on the outside as if it had been burned by fire, there were many holes in the walls, and the windows were broken.
There was a smell of burnt paste in the air.
Not good!
Tao Xueming's expression changed, this is definitely a bathhouse, but on the day he left, something must have happened.
"Baozi, Xiang Yuhang, you're fine. ”
Tao Xueming pushed open the door and rushed in, his first thought was not the bathhouse, but whether there was anything wrong with the person.
But fortunately, after Tao Xueming came in, he found that Baozi followed Xiang Yuhang, and they were all lying on the ground.
Tao Xueming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay if people are fine.
"Buns, what's the matter, is the bathhouse on fire? ”
Tao Xueming looked around and saw that many white walls were burned black, and the furniture was also burned.
"Wow......"
Bao Zhipeng suddenly burst into tears, like a helpless child.
"Don't cry, don't cry, what the hell is going on. ”
Tao Xueming sat down and asked.
Bao Zhipeng kept crying and couldn't speak clearly, while Xiang Yuhang on the side smiled bitterly: "It caught fire this morning, and we don't know what's going on." ”
After listening, Tao Xueming looked surprised, the bathhouse was on fire for no reason, who would believe it.
"Sit down, I'll go see what's going on. ”
Tao Xueming got up and ran up to the second floor, then came down again and went to each room to take a look.
Finally, Tao Xueming came outside the building, his eyes fixed on a wall.
Based on his experience and judgment, the fire must have started from this wall, and if he poked his finger, he could still smell a faint smell of gasoline.
Tao Xueming immediately had an idea in his mind, arson!
Hiss!
He took a deep breath, who the hell did it, he actually dared to set fire to his bathhouse, looking for death, isn't it!
You can't just leave it at that.
He went back to his room and said, "Did you notice anything wrong when I was leaving?"
Xiang Yuhang shook his head, he opened and closed the door normally when he was fine, and he didn't find anything wrong.
"Baozi, don't cry, I don't blame you for this. Tao Xueming said.
Bao Zhipeng slowly stopped sobbing and choked up: "Then what should I do, the bathhouse is on fire, and no one will definitely come to take a bath." ”
"It's okay, we don't have a lot to lose, just brush the white wall, and we can continue to open tomorrow." ”
"You two are working overtime, I'll go to the police to see if I can catch someone. ”
"Boss, I'm with you. Xiang Yuhang said.
"No, you stay and help, I'll be back soon. ”
After Tao Xueming finished speaking, he turned around and left here.
On the way to the police again, Tao Xueming was very angry in his heart, he didn't offend anyone here, did someone make money with him, and actually set fire to the bathhouse.
Fortunately, there were no guests at the time, otherwise I would not have been able to afford this responsibility.
After walking for more than half an hour, I came to the nearest police station.
Tao Xueming smashed the door, and the old man opened the small door and asked the reason.
"Kid, come back tomorrow, it's all off work. ”
Uncle said.
Tao Xueming said: "I see that the lights are on inside, I have an emergency, and Li Suo is my eldest brother." ”
The uncle hesitated for a moment, and then let him in.
After Tao Xueming came in, he saw that several rooms were lit up, and many plainclothes people came and went, looking nervous.
Walking into the reception room, Tao Xueming waited quietly.
After waiting for almost an hour, Tao Xueming was really a little impatient and planned to get up and find someone.
Suddenly, a man came in from outside.
"Kid, are you going to report the crime, can't you come tomorrow?"
Plainclothes said impatiently.
Tao Xueming had a smile on his face: "Uncle, my bathhouse was burned, and I came to report the case." ”
"How much money was lost, and was anyone hurt?"
"There wasn't much money to lose, and no one was hurt. ”
"Then you come back tomorrow, we are very busy in the evening, and we don't have time to receive you. ”
With that, the plainclothes man turned around and left.
Tao Xueming looked stunned, let me wait for an hour in vain, and send it back after saying two words?
