"Why are the fourth cousins here? How else is this body? Mo Li glanced at Mo Bao in surprise, and then looked at Zhu, who was also sitting on the side. At this time, Mo Bao looked a little embarrassed, there were dark blue at the corners of his eyes and mouth, his hair was still a little messy, and his body seemed to be stained with several pieces, as if he had fought with someone, no, it looked more like he had been beaten.

"Uh......" Mo Bao stood up and looked behind Mo Li for a while, and after not looking at the person he was waiting for, he retracted his gaze and sat down slowly, looking at Mo Li with some sneer, and then glanced at Zhu again, but accidentally pulled the wound on his face, and couldn't help but sneer. Hongyu happened to come out of the back room to take the medicine, and while asking Hongyu to help give Mo Bao the medicine, Zhu said to Mo Li: "On the way back, my mother happened to meet Brother Bao, so I brought it back first." ”

"What's going on?" Mo Li walked up to Zhu's side and asked in a low voice.

Zhu shook his head: "My mother hasn't had time to ask clearly, I just happened to meet him on the road, and I saw him panicked as if he was hiding something, and before I could ask, he begged me to take him on a trip." I thought I was going to send him home, but he didn't come back, so he came back with his mother first. ”

Mo Bao only felt that his whole face seemed to be swollen and painful, so as soon as Hongyu smeared the medicine on his hand and stretched it out to his face, his nerves were tense, and he reflexively shrank his head back and said, "Ouch, good sister, you tap and ......."

I really haven't seen such a man who is afraid of pain, Hongyu reluctantly withdrew her hand: "Young Master Bao, I haven't given you medicine yet." ”

Mo Bao said embarrassedly: "Good sister, you, you bring me a mirror first, and I will see you give me medicine, this, so that I will have less pain." ”

Ruby smiled, put down the medicine in her hand, and went into the back room to get the small mirror.

"Fourth cousin, what's going on? Be...... Punished by Uncle Santang? After Hongyu entered, Mo Li asked again. Master Mo San's temper has been bad in the past two days, and in his impression, her fourth cousin has never been productive, and even less has satisfied his father, so the older he gets, the more afraid he is of his father. It's just that he has been doted on by his mother and grandmother since he was a child, and Master Mo San was so allowed when he was a child, so he developed such a useless character. Even if he has a family and children now, he has not grown up at all than before, and he is still the same character.

"No, no, no." Mo Bao picked up the bottle of medicine and frowned, while carefully touching the top of his face, his eyes flashed, and then he raised his eyes and asked, "By the way, Aunt Sitang, didn't you ask someone to ask for Steward Han, why hasn't anyone come yet?" ”

"It hasn't been long since I went out, and maybe Steward Han is not in the shop, or I'll have someone go and talk to your father."

"Don't don't, don't ......" Mo Bao hurriedly put down the medicine bottle, raised his hand to stop Zhu, and continued, "Aunt Sitang, you should treat me as hurting, you must not mention this to my father today, otherwise my father will have to break my hands and legs, I don't want to become crippled!" As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. Zhu and Mo Li were stunned by him at the same time, and after glancing at each other, Zhu said, "Then what happened to you?" I don't tell my family if I am beaten like this by others! ”

This time, Hongyu had already come out with a small mirror, and Mo Bao didn't care to talk to Zhu, and hurriedly took the mirror in Hongyu's hand and sighed.

"Young Master Bao, don't hide, I'll be careful."

Mo Li frowned and glanced at Mo Bao, and asked the Zhu family: "It was Ah Sheng who sent his mother and fourth cousin back, I didn't look at him when I came in from outside just now, did my mother ask him to go to Steward Han?" ”

"Yes, I saw that the guys in the store were busy, so I asked him to run again." Zhu nodded, and then looked at Mo Bao, who was screaming like a child, and asked himself in a low voice, "Brother Bao, what's going on?" ”

Mo Li looked at Mo Bao while pretending to be pitiful, while secretly looking at Hongyu's appearance, and sneered: "In my opinion, either I accidentally broke something valuable in other people, or I got involved in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and was chased into debt." ”

"Young Master Bao, it's already a good medicine." Seeing that Mo Bao was about to grab his hand, Hongyu immediately shrank, picked up the bottle cap on the table, smiled softly, and then turned around and entered the back room.

Mo Bao reluctantly chased after the back of the red jade for a while, but then Mo Li suddenly said to him: "Since the fourth cousin doesn't want to go home for the time being, then I will ask the fourth cousin to be sent to Steward Han, if the fourth cousin has anything, discuss it as soon as possible, so as not to delay the good time." ”

"Ahhh......h "A woman who dares to argue with his father and is independent, no matter how beautiful he is, he feels afraid. In his opinion, a woman should be like a maid raised in the yard, with a watery smile, a soft voice, and a shy look in her eyes to answer that she is called a woman.

"Then the mother will rest first, and I will send the fourth cousin out." Mo Li stood up as she spoke, although she also had a light smile on her face at this time, but no matter how she heard it, it seemed that she was driving people out of fear of trouble. Zhu Shi looked at Mo Bao, who was still injured, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart, so he said in a low voice: "If Brother Bao rests for a while, it is estimated that Steward Han will come over." ”

"The fourth cousin must be in a hurry to see Steward Han to discuss things right now, so how can he still have the heart to sit down." Mo Li walked up to Mo Bao as he spoke, and said with a polite smile, "Can the fourth cousin go?" Why don't I call a guy in and help my cousin out? ”

With such a beautiful face, but smiling so ill-intentionedly, Mo Bao's scalp couldn't help but feel a little numb, so he stood up and said, "You can go, you can go, don't dare to trouble the fifteenth sister, I, I'll go." ”

It's just that Mo Li just sent Mo Bao to the door of the store, and before the carriage came out, two men on the other side of the street who were obviously not good at stubble suddenly rushed here. When Mo Bao came out, he was looking left and right, and naturally he saw the other party immediately, and he was so frightened that his feet trembled, and he hurriedly hid behind Mo Li, and was about to run inside. But the two men had already rushed over, and as soon as they scurried, they entered the shop and blocked his way.

Mo Bao screamed in fright, quickly grabbed one of Mo Li's shoulders, hid sideways behind her and looked at the two of them, and said, "What are you going to do, isn't it still over today." ”

The two men first glanced at Mo Li, a little surprise flashed in their eyes, and then a man said hesitantly: "The sun is about to set, you can hide, why don't you hide in the alley of Xigu Street, Fourth Young Master Mo." ”

As soon as Mo Bao heard this, his face turned white: "You know who I am, you have gone to my house!?" ”

"After today, if Fourth Young Master Mo doesn't pay back the lost money, the next trip will of course be to go directly to Third Master Mo." The man said, and glanced at Mo Li again, "Or Fourth Young Master Mo has found a new friend who can help you pay off your debts?" I just saw a piece coming out of the store. ”

Hongdou came out with him, he was just frightened by these two people, he suddenly heard this, his face couldn't help but be red and white, and he hurriedly stood in front of Mo Li and glared at the two people angrily: "You, what nonsense are you talking about, my girl and Young Master Bao are cousins!" After she finished speaking, she paused at the two guys in the store who didn't know what to do, "What are you still doing in a daze, you can't come and drive these two away!" ”

"What are you doing, you open the door to do business, and no one is allowed to come in to see?" The man immediately raised his voice, then took out an IOU from his arms, looked at Mo Li and said, "It's better to be a relative, since it's a cousin, then it's better for your cousin to help your cousin pay off this gambling debt owed to us!" ”

"The two of you are in the wrong place, there is a debtor and a debtor, and it is not me who owes the money, so what is the use of showing me this." Mo Li glanced at the IOU, and was about to avoid it as she spoke, but that Mo Bao was like a kraft candy at this time, and she was stunned to hide behind her and didn't dare to come out.

The two of them also knew that it was impossible to blackmail casually, and they were just talking about a cheap and happy thing. It's just that Mo Bao is going to hide behind this girl, they want to arrest it, and the three guys next to him stopped them from touching the girl, and after a few times, they were a little annoyed, and one of them reached out directly to Mo Li to grab it, and at the same time said impatiently: "Since you don't care, don't stop in front!" ”

But before his hand could reach Mo Li, he was blocked by another hand coming from the side, and then his whole person was thrown out of the door by that hand, and he staggered several steps, but he couldn't stand firmly, and fell to the ground all of a sudden. He was immediately furious, but before he could get up from the ground, the person who came with him was also thrown out, and then followed, Mo Bao was also unceremoniously pulled by Ah Sheng, and then pushed, and made a bunch of them at the door, and then Ah Sheng threw them a word: "Get out!" ”

Hongdou was in a panic, and suddenly saw that this guy was back, and suddenly relieved, and then quickly grabbed Mo Li's hand, looked up and down, and said, "Aunt, the girl is okay!" ”

Mo Bao was completely stunned, pressed on the two meat pads, and looked stupidly at the tall man in front of him with a fierce face, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and he didn't come back to his senses until Han Sidao pulled him up.

"Steward Han is finally here, the fourth cousin has been thinking about you just now, so I want someone to send the fourth cousin to you, I don't want Steward Han to arrive." Mo Li patted Hongdou's hand soothingly, took two steps out, said softly, and then looked at Mo Bao again, "I really can't help the fourth cousin today, and I hope the fourth cousin is not strange, but if the fourth cousin really feels that there is any difficulty, I can help the cousin say a few words to the third cousin." ”

"No, no, thank you fifteenth sister, don't trouble fifteenth sister, I'm fine, there is no difficulty at all, fifteenth sister don't bother me, I, I'll just say goodbye, farewell, fifteenth sister, please stay." As soon as Mo Bao heard that Mo Li meant to tell his father, he was so frightened that his soul was about to fly, and after stammering, he hurriedly pulled Han Sidao out of here.

Han Sidao glanced at Mo Li with some reluctance, and then swept Ah Sheng, who was standing on the side with an unkind face, and couldn't stand Mo Bao's urging, so he had to smile apologetically at Mo Li. After they turned around, the two men who fell to the ground had also gotten up, whispered something in their mouths, and secretly glared at Ah Sheng again, and then left here with Han Sidao and Mo Bao.

"You go to Mrs. to have a look, it seems that Xiaozhuang ran in just now, if Mrs. hears something, you say it's fine." It happened that Jia Hei's family didn't come over today, and after Han Sidao led Mo Bao away, Mo Li explained a few words to the two guys, and then ordered Hongdou again, and then let Ah Sheng go in with him.

"Are you alright? Why did you just let that guy stand behind you all the time, if I come back a little later, you won't suffer. After Hongdou ran away, on the way to the front hall, Ah Sheng whispered, and when he spoke, his eyes kept looking at Mo Li.

"Who knew he could hide from that." Mo Li couldn't help but feel a little funny when she thought about it, she hadn't touched Mo Bao a few times before, she really didn't know that her fourth cousin was so willing to face.

After entering the front hall, Ah Sheng asked again: "These days, nothing happened to you, why isn't Kuroko in the store?" I didn't see him when I came back. ”

"After two deals, Jia Hei's father had another leg disease, so I asked him to go back at noon." Mo Li said that he talked about the two deals that he had talked about these days, and then took out the booklet from the treasury and handed it to Ah Sheng, "I need to add some goods in two days, you can count the rest tomorrow, and then ask Jia Hei's opinion to see what to add." ”

"Don't you enter from Second Master Mo?"

"Second Master Mo is afraid that there is no extra effort during this time, and in the second half of the year, there will be eighteen people and thousands of flowers." Mo Li thought for a while, and then said, "But Second Master Mo's current inventory in the warehouse should still be enough for me to turn over for three or two months, and there are a lot of tricks, so I don't have to worry too much, I plan to add it from outside, let's pick it carefully." ”

Ah Sheng flipped through the booklet in his hand, and after knowing the general idea in his heart, he nodded, then raised his eyes and looked at Mo Li and said, "Third Master Mo won't do that." ”

"I understand that he will probably unite several companies to lower the price, if so, it is exactly what I want." Mo Li smiled, and then said, "Let's not talk about this for now, the two people who came over just now seem to be people from the casino, when you asked Han Sidao to come over, did he tell you anything?" ”

Ah Sheng shook his head: "If you want to know, I'll help you inquire in a while." ”

Mo Li pondered for a while, then nodded: "Mo Bao owes a debt, and he doesn't go back to find his father, but he keeps saying that he wants to find Han Sidao......"

Since the casino is involved, this news is naturally easy to inquire, so within a few days, Ah Sheng almost figured out the matter. It turned out that half a month ago, Mo Bao somehow got acquainted with a sister in a brothel. After going back and forth, after a few efforts, the sister Mo Bao was fascinated, and then coaxed him to promise to redeem her, receive her home, and love her every day.

It's just that Mo Bao was hot-headed for a while, but he forgot that he couldn't take out so much silver at all, and after a few days, the sister gave him an idea of a million profits, so he stepped into the casino with one foot, and the capital was still secretly borrowed from Han Sidao, but he didn't tell Han Sidao what to borrow. It's just two days, his dream of getting rich and holding the beauty has not been hot, not only borrowed the hundreds of taels of silver and lost a fine light, but also was set up in a circle, coaxing him to gamble red-eyed, and even directly borrowed the money from the casino to continue gambling, as a result, this loss and then lost, and finally owed the casino tens of thousands of debts, after coming to his senses, he was suddenly frightened, weakly argued a few times, was beaten a few times, honestly pressed the handprint and escaped, saying that he went home to get the silver to pay back.

It's just that where he can take out the silver, he doesn't dare to tell his father, even if he is his mother, he doesn't dare to open his mouth. If one or two thousand taels of silver could still help him, but as long as the silver of tens of thousands of taels moved, it was impossible for Master Mo San not to know.

"That's why I thought of Han Sidao......" Mo Li lowered his eyes, and there was a hint of a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a little coldness in his heart. She remembered her previous life, when her father also fell headlong in the casino, and finally dug out all the old bottom of the family, and even took out the body that the grandmother had saved for a lifetime, so that she finally paid off her father's gambling debts, but just like that, she didn't have a life for her father.

The wind and rain were so stormy, and the days ahead were completely bleak, suddenly appeared in her mind, and the smile on the corner of her mouth faded suddenly, and her face showed a little sadness. Even in this life, she couldn't save her father, and she finally left.

My heart hurts like a blunt knife grinding, how could such an accident happen, how could such an accident happen......

"What's wrong, why is your face so bad!" Ah Sheng was talking to her, but after a while, he saw that her face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes seemed to lose focus, so she hurriedly took two steps forward. Mo Li came back to his senses when his hand touched his face, and raised his hand to block his outstretched hand and said, "It's okay, it's just that I remembered some bad things in the past." ”

Ah Sheng put down his hand: "Your face is so bad, go back and rest, these things have nothing to do with you, don't think about it so much." ”

Mo Li asked, "What is the name of the sister who is good with my fourth cousin?" ”

"It's called Begonia."

"You will go to the Jiukong Bridge in a while, and let Li Yue'er help me inquire about Begonia, in addition to Mo Bao, she has a few good friends, is there Han Sidao in it."

"Okay, it's just that you can go back and rest now, and I'll tell you when I come back." He never had any objection to her commands, but for everything she had,
