Chapter 230: Ridiculous Excuses

Early in the morning of the second day, Qi Mu received a notice, so he rushed to Song Xiaoqiao's house non-stop, and happened to meet Song Xiaoqiao coming back from outside with Xiao Liu.

At this moment, the two of them looked very exhausted.

"You're here."

Qi Mu knew that the news was a matter of time, so she didn't feel strange at all when she met here.

"Tell me, what's going on, how can you go out of the water?"

The whole shop was burned to ashes, not to mention, it also reached the next door.

Although it was winter and everything was relatively dry, there were still snowflakes last night, so it stands to reason that the fire could not have spread so quickly, so why did it burn nothing.

"Someone wanted revenge and smeared tung oil in the box."

Yesterday she smelled carefully, and there was a smell of tung oil on the burnt wood.

It's just that she doesn't know who that person is and why he wants to harm her.

"Don't you have a habit of checking every night? Why is there such a mistake? ”

Xiao Liu has this habit, it is no secret in the restaurant, many people know why there is such a loophole, giving the enemy a chance.

"Boss Qi, when I checked last year, everything was obviously normal, and I don't know what's going on?"

He did check last night, but he didn't find anything unusual, let alone tung oil.

Tung oil smells big, and he doesn't have no sense of smell, how can he not smell it, someone must have put it after he checked it.

Could it be that Song Xiaoqiao guessed correctly, it is really Xiao Wang's guy who eats inside and out.

"Qi Mu, don't blame him, since others are coming for us, how can we not leave a hand, so our first task now is to find Xiao Wang first."

He wasn't sure if it was Xiao Wang, but Xiao Wang must know something, otherwise it would be impossible to live without seeing people die or corpses.

It's just that she and Xiao Liu searched for a whole night last night, not to mention Xiao Wang, and they didn't even find any clues, Xiao Wang seemed to have disappeared from Qingyang Town.

Now the worst outcome is that Xiao Wang has left Qingyang Town, so that the fire may remain a mystery forever.

"By the way, Qi Mu, can you lend me some silver first."

Now everyone is asking her for compensation, she doesn't want time to make her mother and younger brother homeless, so she will speak to Qi Mu hard.

"How much are you going to borrow?"

The restaurant is not Song Xiaoqiao's alone, he also has a share, more or less, he should also produce some, but this time the fire is too big, and he is worried that his silver will not be enough at all.

Yuelai Restaurant is a foundation inherited from his ancestors, and he can't lose it for Song Xiaoqiao.

"Five thousand taels."

To repair a house, it takes more than 1,000 taels, plus the compensation of the neighbors, 5,000 taels is the most conservative number.

"Is it enough?"

He thought that Song Xiaoqiao would open his mouth and ask him for 10,000 taels, but he didn't expect that Song Xiaoqiao would only need 5,000 taels, and the houses on both sides burned down so badly, it was basically a cost, and it also needed to be rebuilt, which was equivalent to 5,000 taels to repair three shops.

"Don't worry, I'll figure out the rest."

Five thousand taels is a little less, but she has her way, as long as Qi Muken borrows it, then she can resolve this crisis.

"Okay, I'll go back and let someone take you five thousand taels, you count three thousand li, and the remaining two thousand taels are mine."

Yuelai Restaurant has just been renovated, and a lot of silver has been used, five thousand taels is just right, no matter how much, he may not be able to take it out.

"Sister, are you back?"

Song Xiaoqiao here wanted to say no, most of those people came to her this time, and Qi Mu was also implicated with her, but before she could say anything, Song Haoran opened the door over there, and seeing this, she had to send Qi Mu and Xiao Liu away.

"Well, you're back, where are my mother and grandmother?"

If you guessed correctly, my mother should be making breakfast in the kitchen at this time, but why did Song Haoran get up so early today, doesn't this guy like to wake up and read books in bed on weekdays.

"My mother and grandmother are in the kitchen, and my mother asked my sister about you, and I said you haven't woken up yet."

How did my sister know, it was not that he got up early, but because he was worried that he wouldn't sleep all night.

"You're doing a good job, I'll go change my clothes first."

Song Haoran really grew up and knew what a white lie was, if her mother knew about it, then she wouldn't have to die in a hurry.

"Sister, how is the restaurant?"

He had been holding this in his heart for a long time, and he wanted to ask his sister when he saw it, but seeing his sister's haggard appearance, he was somewhat conscious in his heart, and now he opened his mouth, but he wanted to be sure, and he also hoped that there would be some miracle.

It is not easy for my sister to get to this point, and he doesn't want his sister to get up early and set up a stall like before.

"Don't worry, it's okay, it's just a little fire, I'm decorating and decorating, it's fine."

It's better not to tell Song Haoran about this, so as not to affect his condition.

"Really?"

At this moment, Song Haoran obviously didn't believe it, if it was really like what his sister said, why did his sister come back now, and what did Qi Mu do when he came to their house.

"What did I lie to you?" After finishing speaking, she realized something again, so she continued: "Oh, by the way, Qingyang Town has not been peaceful recently, I heard that a group of unknown human traffickers have come to lure their wives and children to go to other countries to work as coolies, if there is nothing to do, you and your mother stay at home and don't go out, you know?" ”

At this moment, the matter of the restaurant being burned has already spread all over the streets and alleys, but fortunately, the house she bought is a little far away from the street, which made her mother and Song Haoran not know, so she deliberately made up such a ridiculous excuse, hoping to hide it for one more day.

It's best to hide it until her new store is repaired.

"Human traffickers? Sister, why have I never heard of it? ”

Although children are sometimes lost in Qingyang Town, I haven't heard of a large number of human traffickers, where did my sister hear about this?

"You're at home every day, it's normal if you haven't heard of it, remember, it's okay to accompany your mother at home, I'll go change my clothes, lest my mother see it for a while and ask questions again."

Song Haoran is very simple, and he believes in her very much, although this story is very absurd, but looking at Song Haoran's expression, he seems to believe it.

Back in the room, she quickly changed into clean clothes and sat down in a chair.

Where is Xiao Wang's guy now, whether he is alive or dead, and she doesn't understand, she thinks she is good to every employee in the store, and she can't think of why Xiao Wang betrayed her.

Is it a last resort, or is it tempted by something?

Forget it, no matter what the reason is, Xiao Wang has to continue to look for this person, and it is best to find it, if she really can't find it, she will start with tung oil to see if she can find out who wants her to die.
