Chapter 23: Nature
The cook's behavior is very strange.
Originally, he was still talking about things other than the foresters, but suddenly the conversation changed and he stopped talking about this matter again.
The more this happened, the more suspicious Mingyuexi felt, it must have been the forester who told them not to talk about those past things, otherwise they wouldn't have to be so secretive at all.
"Oh, Miss Ming, I'm almost done with the food here, look at this ......"
The meaning of this cook is also obvious, that is, he is issuing an eviction order, after all, if he continues to talk to Mingyuexi, maybe something will be exposed.
And Mingyuexi also knew that in this case, it was already difficult to get any news from his mouth, so he also went down this step.
"It just so happens that I have other things to do, and I have forgotten my business when I talk to you."
After finishing speaking, Mingyuexi hurriedly left the kitchen.
Since it is very likely that the forester has already told them not to talk nonsense, then if Mingyuexi wants to inquire about the news, I am afraid there is little hope.
But even so, Mingyuexi still didn't give up.
In one morning, Mingyuexi even contacted all the people in the entire Lin family's courtyard and helped them do a lot of things.
It's a pity that no matter how much he does, it's useless, because he didn't find out anything in the end, but because he helped these people to work, his merit increased a lot......
"It's really speechless......"
Mingyuexi sighed, after all, it was already noon, and the meal was about to start, so it was in vain to inquire by herself.
However, at this time, Mingyuexi suddenly heard a noisy sound from the kitchen.
"I told you that most of the eggs you sent yesterday were bad, how can you let me pay you?"
"Even if it's broken, it's not that I broke it, you told the seller that you want to buy those eggs, I'm just responsible for helping you deliver them, so who knows that all his eggs are stinky!"
Listening to these two sentences, Mingyuexi immediately realized that this was a civil dispute.
Rushing up, Mingyuexi saw that it was an old woman arguing with the cook.
"What's going on? It's also noisy. ”
Mingyuexi hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two apart, and at this time, the old woman immediately grabbed Mingyuexi's hand as if she had seen a savior.
"This girl, you come to the review, they buy eggs from the store and let us send them, I am only responsible for sending the eggs over, and the wages for delivering eggs on weekdays are all paid to me outside the private sector, but he has to say that yesterday's eggs are bad, and he doesn't pay me for the salary, you look at this kind of thing on the stall, where can I be reasonable!"
"That egg is broken and can't be used, we paid so much money to the store for nothing, and we have to pay you for it, why!"
The cook immediately spoke ill of the old woman, and at this time, Mingyuexi saw that the noise was getting more and more fierce, so she quickly grabbed the old woman.
"What was your salary yesterday? I'll give you the knot. ”
"Really?"
"Of course, what did I lie to you about."
Listening to Mingyuexi's plan, the old woman said suspiciously: "The total salary is 20 yuan. ”
As soon as she heard the money, Ming Yuexi couldn't help laughing, and she was embarrassed to rely on the former forester.
Ming Yuexi directly took out a piece of silver from her pocket and put it in the old woman's hand.
"This money should be enough."
At the sight of so much money, the old woman immediately burst into laughter.
It's just that before he could laugh enough, the cook over there began to be sarcastic.
"You're just going to make a lot of noise with people to get their money."
What do you mean by that? If you hadn't been in arrears for my wages, I would have ......"
"Alright, let's go out first."
Seeing that this was about to quarrel again, Mingyuexi directly pulled the old woman out of the kitchen and took her to the door of the Lin Mansion.
Because of the reason for receiving Mingyuexi's money, the old woman did not show any special rejection to Mingyuexi.
"Big girl, I think you are also a real person, why do you live with them!"
Originally, Mingyuexi didn't plan to continue to talk to this aunt, but this aunt thought that it seemed that she was fixed to deliver food to the house outside the forester, maybe they knew something.
"I'm not from the Lin family, I just stayed here with my friends for a few days, and it didn't take long to leave."
"I advise you, it's better to leave as soon as possible, or I'm afraid they will have your good fruit to eat."
Listening to this aunt's vigorous words, Ming Yuexi realized that he probably knew a lot of things.
"I really don't know this, Auntie, do you know anything inside? Tell me about it. ”
Hearing Mingyuexi ask, the aunt was also interested, she looked left and right, and after seeing that there was no one around, she pulled Mingyuexi to the corner of the wall.
"I'll tell you, this forester is usually fierce."
"But I look at him with a kind eyebrow......"
"Then you don't know, of course he is kind to you guests, but not to others."
When she said this, the aunt lowered her voice again and said, "Let me tell you, when I came to deliver food last month, I saw a man outside the forester holding down a person and beating them half to death in the alley!" ”
"What?" Ming Yuexi was taken aback, he felt that it was very likely that he had really found out something.
"Are you sure it's someone outside the forester?"
"Of course I'm sure, when I came to deliver food, those people walked ahead of me and went back to Yuanwaifu after they finished fighting!"
This aunt's determined appearance made Mingyuexi even more curious: "Then do you know who the person who was beaten is?" ”
"I know, of course I know that person is also doing the same kind of business as the forester, a boss, it seems that because there was a conflict between the two of them in business before, so this time he pressed people there to beat!"
"Where did you get this news?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the street and ask casually, you just need to ask who they have eaten turtles in their recent business outside the forester, and you will know immediately that I definitely didn't lie to you."
Listening to the aunt's words so firmly, Mingyue's heart had already believed most of it, but when he was about to continue asking, the cook suddenly chased out and drove the aunt away.
