Chapter 69: Guilty of Petitioning

Sun Liushao stared at Jiang Cheng'er for a long time, his eyes gradually changed from chaos to clear: "Miss Jiang, when I meet you, I can take a lot of crooked paths." ”

"You trust me, I trust you, if you really treat me as a friend, you don't need to play tricks on me."

Jiang Cheng'er stood up, her voice calm, "According to what you said, I will let go of Edamame and give him a chance to mend his ways." It's getting late, so let's go home and rest. ”

Sun Liushao asked worriedly: "Jiang Cheng'er, let's be friends for life, okay?" ”

"No one can guarantee a lifetime of things. Well, at least now we're friends. Jiang Cheng'er smiled, like the light of the moon.

Sun Liushao was intoxicated by her smile, watching her thin and stubborn back disappear into the night, he sighed softly.

At the same time, Han Baichuan, who was standing in front of the bamboo house, had a dark sparkle in his deep eyes.

With his sensitive hearing as a martial arts master, he could hear the wind and grass within a radius of several miles, and the conversations between Jiang Cheng'er and Sun Liushao all came to his ears.

The fence door of Jiang Cheng'er's house rang, Han Baichuan came out of his contemplation, glanced at her from a distance, and turned back to the house with a little annoyance.

He doesn't know what's wrong with him recently, he will always be inexplicably angry, his temper is getting worse and worse, and he needs to cultivate.

Jiang Cheng'er woke up early in the morning and saw her mother cooking porridge on the fire.

"Mother, why don't you sleep for a while, just make breakfast for your daughter."

"Orange, my mother didn't fall asleep all night." Liu Shi was worried, "Child, you tell your mother, why did you go out with Sun Liushao last night?" You're not going to ...... Tryst. ”

"Poof" Jiang Cheng'er squirted out a mouthful of toothbrushing water: "Mother, you love to think around, Sun Liushao came to me to discuss something...... Well, it's about soap. I was afraid of arguing with her to review her homework, so I went out to talk to him. When that's all that, I'll be back soon. ”

The daughter's expression was calm, not like lying, and the Liu family tossed and turned and worried about things all night before she let go.

Liu smiled: "It's good for my mother to look at Mr. Chu, who is knowledgeable and reasonable, must be a lord who loves his daughter-in-law." Orange, this is your blessing, you should cherish it, and have a good relationship with others. ”

Tao'er also got up and was about to come out of the house, when she heard her mother and sister talking about Mr. Chu, she retreated back and hid behind the door to listen.

"Mother, how can I say it, Mr. Chu is younger than me, I think he is like a younger brother, more than kind, and the kind of love between men and women is insufficient." Jiang Cheng'er told her mother the truth.

Liu Shi said angrily: "You kid, what kind of brother and brother, you have only known each other for a few days, and it is too early to draw conclusions." Young people can have feelings if they socialize more. ”

Jiang Cheng'er shook her head: "Mother, I don't ......"

"Miss Jiang...... Is Miss Jiang Cheng'er at home? Suddenly, a male voice sounded outside, with a somewhat nervous trill.

Jiang Cheng'er wiped his hands and ran out, only to see a man standing at the door with red and swollen cheeks and panic, with a bundle of thorns on his back.

He's the robber from last night - Edamame! Look at this posture, I came to bear the guilt.

Hearing the man's voice, Liu Shi came out uneasily and asked, "Who...... Hey, isn't this edamame, what's wrong with your face? Still carrying wattles on his back, aren't you panicked? ”

Jiang Cheng'er had an idea: "What, he chopped wood and fell from a tree, and wanted to buy a piece of soap to wash his face and reduce swelling." Mother, you go into the house and look at the fire in the stove, don't jump out. ”

"Our soap can also reduce swelling, it's amazing." Ryu smiled and went back to the house.

Jiang Cheng'er waved his hand at Edamame and led him to a hidden place outside.

Edamame saw that there was no one around, and knelt down for Jiang Cheng'er, and his head slammed: "Miss Jiang, I was wrong, I shouldn't have blocked the road and robbed you, I scared you, I will kowtow to you to make amends." Thank you for your magnanimity and for saving my face. ”

Jiang Cheng'er had a cold face: "You get up, don't thank me, I am not so magnanimous, I spared you for the sake of Sun Liushao's face." ”

"Liushao taught me a lesson last night and asked me to punish myself, I slapped myself dozens of times, you can see that my face is swollen, and my arms are also blue and purple. Miss Jiang, if you are still angry, you can use the thorny thorns to pump me hard and let out your anger. ”

Edamame knelt on the ground, turned around, and turned his back to Jiang Cheng'er.

"Physical punishment is only superficial, spiritual repentance can penetrate deep into the bone marrow. I hope you will take this as a lesson, reform your ways, and be angry, as long as a big man is willing to work, how can he not earn money and support his mother? In order to steal a few money, he ruined his life, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Seeing that he confessed sincerely, his forehead was bleeding, and his attitude was docile, Jiang Cheng'er was somewhat discouraged and admonished him a few words.

"I take Miss Jiang's teachings to heart and never do it again. Your great kindness, I will never forget, and I will find an opportunity to repay you in the future. Edamame's eyes were red, and he said very sincerely.

Jiang Cheng'er said briskly: "I don't want your return, this matter is over." How's your mother's illness? It's important to see a doctor, I can lend you money, you hurry up and ask the doctor to get medicine. ”

"My mother...... It's much better, you don't need to see a doctor, thank you Miss Jiang. ”

Seeing Jiang Cheng'er looking at him, Maodou's eyes flickered a few times, and he hurriedly added, "My mother beat me up last night, and my spirit is much better today, I guess it may be that I have smoothed out my sullenness." ”

Jiang Cheng'er was suspicious, Edamame's illness was cured so quickly, it seems that she was not seriously ill, and it didn't cost a lot of money to get medicine. Even if you don't have any money at home, you can temporarily borrow from relatives and friends, or use things as money, so as not to be desperate and robbed.

Jiang Cheng'er intuitively felt that the reason why Edamame was robbed was not because he didn't have money to get medicine for his mother, so why?

What is the force that makes a man who is usually honest and timid turn into a robber and take risks?

Jiang Cheng'er stared at Edamame with cold eyes, and suddenly asked sternly: "Why did you block my way to rob, who instigated you, to be honest, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" ”

Edamame's heart was beating in fright, and he stammered in defense: "No...... No one instigated it, it was my own ghost. Miss Jiang, I, I am willing to work to atone for my sins, do you need to carry water at home, I will go and help you pick it. ”

After Edamame finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to Jiang Cheng'er's house.

Edamame is really a hairy boy, he will not hide the secret in his heart at all, and he looks panicked, but verifies Jiang Cheng'er's guess.

Jiang Cheng'er twisted her eyebrows, if he didn't say it, she could find out.

At this moment, Zhao Sanpo hurriedly came with small steps, and asked in a low voice: "Big niece, Mao ...... How's the thief's handling going? Last night, Sun Liushao told me not to make a noise, hum! Cheap that kid too. ”

Jiang Cheng'er explained the situation again, and then said, "Aunt Zhao, you came just in time, don't go anywhere today, help me investigate an important matter."

I suspect that there is something else going on in the edamame robbery case, you are secretly inquiring about who has been in contact with him in the past few days. You can also find a breakthrough from Edamame and figure out the truth. ”

"I'm interested in finding out the truth, but I'm more interested in selling soap to make money." Zhao Sanpo was entangled.

Jiang Cheng'er teased: "Aunt Zhao, you are an old money fan, this is also to help me work, I will also pay you for your work." ”

Zhao Sanpo looked excited: "Hehe, thank you boss for the compliment, I'll go and solve the case." ”

When Jiang Cheng'er returned home, Edamame had already gone to pick up the water for the second time.

Liu asked puzzledly: "Orange, how do edamame carry water for our family?" He won't be...... Coming at you, right? ”

"Mother, I just found out today that your imagination is very rich, how can your daughter have such a great charm."

Jiang Cheng'er took the porridge bowl in her mother's hand and casually made up a set of words, "Edamame wants to buy a piece of soap for his mother to wash clothes, but the money is not enough, I read him a piece of filial piety, and said that he would give him a piece for free, but he didn't want to go, so he came to fetch water for our family." ”

Jiang Cheng'er Khan told a lie, and it takes several lies to get round.

It's not right to lie to my mother, but if I told my mother the truth, my mother knew that she met a gangster last night, and she would be frightened. In the future, my mother has to worry about it all day long at home, and I don't worry about her going out to sell soap.

Jiang Cheng'er believes that there is no absolute good or bad in things, it depends on the situation, and sometimes white lies are preferable in comparison.

After the meal, Jiang Cheng'er was not idle, and made another pot of soap.

Yesterday, I made two days of food at once, and it is said that it is okay to be lazy today, but Jiang Cheng'er is used to working every day, so it is good to prepare more soap and leave some inventory.

Jiang Cheng'er had just finished her work when Chu Saburo came.

He said quickly: "Sister, I am here to invite you to sell soap in our village, my mother has spread the soap you made to the gods, and many people are waiting to see what the artifact looks like." ”

Jiang Cheng'er couldn't cry or laugh: "Thank you aunt for helping me with the publicity, soap is a laundry product that can remove dirt, but it's not so godly." Well, anyway, wherever I go to sell soap, I'll go to Sange Village today. ”

"Okay, stay at my house for dinner at noon, I'll tell my aunt, don't wait for you." Chu Saburo smiled, full of excitement.

Houshantun is far away, and it has been half an hour now, and I will definitely not be able to come back at noon if I go there.

Jiang Cheng'er thought that she had had some unpleasant quarrels with Mother Chu before, and it was not appropriate to go to Chu's house for dinner. She shook her head: "Why are you embarrassed to bother your aunt, I'll just bring some food." ”

"My mother has given an order, if you don't invite you today, you won't let me go home. Sister, you recognize me as a brother, my mother is your mother, you don't have to see outside. Besides, I've stayed at your house twice for dinner, so it's right to invite you back once. Chu Saburo strongly invited.

Jiang Cheng'er couldn't shirk any longer, cut the shaped soap, counted out a hundred, and divided it into two wooden barrels. Bring more, and if you can't sell it out in Houshantun, sell the rest on the way back.

Chu Sanlang carried the flat shoulder, and walked with Jiang Cheng'er beautifully, they were both hearty and talkative people, talking and laughing, and they didn't feel that the road was far.
