Chapter 211: Suspicious IOUs
Xiaoping impatiently handed me the passbook, pouted, and said, "I don't have a penny in the passbook, so what's there to see." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
I took the passbook and said solemnly, "I can't see the money, but I might be able to tell the cause of your uncle's death." ”
"If you want to see enough, see enough." Xiaoping said disapprerovingly.
I looked through the passbook and found that the 120,000 yuan had been deposited in the past five years.
I looked at the ten IOUs again, all of them were nearly a year old.
Hey, it's really weird, Liu Laosan is obviously rich, but he still writes IOUs, is he an old man?
Xiaoping rolled her eyes and asked, "Brother Liang, do you see the flowers, or do you see the flowers?" ”
I grinned and said, "Don't say it, I can really see the flowers." ”
I pointed to the IOU and said, "Xiaoping, I think it's a little strange, your uncle's passbook is obviously rich, but he still has to give people IOUs, isn't this a laid-back?" ”
Xiaoping glanced at the IOU, frowned and said, "Yes, my uncle seems to be a bit unauthentic in doing this." ”
I looked at the IOU and asked suspiciously, "Who is this sister-in-law?" ”
Xiaoping thought for a while and replied: "There is no one surnamed Tian in Xiaoliuzhuang, maybe it is someone from outside." ”
Xiaoping and I were talking, and the little widow came to mourn Liu Laosan.
I hurriedly beckoned to the little widow.
The little widow came over and said to Xiaoping shyly, "I'll say goodbye to Brother Liu." ”
Xiaoping asked, "Do you know a person named Sister-in-law Tian?" ”
The little widow shook her head and replied, "I don't know or hear of this man." ”
Xiaoping handed the stack of IOUs to the little widow and said, "Look at this." ”
The little widow looked at it and said suspiciously, "Brother Liu owes this sister-in-law the money." ”
"Yes. However, it seems to have been returned recently. What do you think after reading these IOUs? Xiaoping asked.
The little widow thought for a while and muttered, "Could it be that Brother Liu has a leg with this sister-in-law Tian, and Brother Liu promised to give sister-in-law Tian 1,200 yuan every month." ”
"Are you saying that my uncle took care of this sister-in-law?" Xiaoping was taken aback.
The little widow muttered, "I... I'm just guessing, maybe not that's the case. ”
"Alas! My uncle is too preoccupied, and one woman in the village is not enough. Xiaoping accused.
I pondered and said, "It's hard to say, I estimate that this sister-in-law Tian may work in the contractor team, and this 1,200 yuan per month is just her salary." ”
Xiaoping nodded and said, "Maybe." Alas! My uncle is complicated enough. ”
I thought about it for a while and asked the little widow: "Liu Laosan is the foreman of the contractor, who in the village will follow him?" ”
The little widow replied: "There are a lot, but it is the garlic nose that is always inseparable from Brother Liu." ”
"Garlic nose?" I chuckled and asked, "Could it be that Garlic Nose is this man's name?" ”
The little widow replied, "This man has a big garlic nose, which is why the people of the village call him garlic nose." It's been a long time, and I've really forgotten his real name. ”
"Oh." I nodded.
Xiaoping frowned and said, "I know this person, in his forties, is also a bachelor, always following my uncle's ass, like a fart, quite annoying." ”
I said, "Let's go and ask this garlic nose to see if he knows this sister-in-law." ”
Xiaoping and I walked outside, and just a few steps away, we heard the little widow's wail: "Brother Liu, my great benefactor......"
I turned my head and glanced at the little widow with disdain, it seemed that she was quite good at acting, and in front of Xiaoping, she cried so sadly, as if her father and mother had died.
"My brother Liu... You've never given me an IOU......," said the little widow mournfully.
I suddenly understood that the little widow thought that this sister-in-law Tian was a woman supported by Liu Laosan, and the IOU of 1,200 yuan was a monthly alimony.
I shook my head and sighed, "What a poor woman. ”
"Does a woman in the skin and meat business deserve your sympathy?" Xiaoping glanced at me.
I said earnestly: "Xiaoping, people who do the leather and meat business are not necessarily despicable people, some are forced by life. ”
"If you sympathize with her, take my uncle's class and take care of the little widow." Xiaoping said gloomily.
I said unhappily, "Xiaoping, you... What do you think of me? ”
"Who are you?" Xiaoping squinted at me.
I said solemnly, "I... I'm a serious person. ”
"Serious people? Hum! I don't think so. Now, you can't do it physically, and you can't be merry if you want to. When you're cured, you'll be doubly merry. Xiaoping said disdainfully.
"Hey, I'm not Hu Xiaoming, don't look down on me." I said angrily.
"Men are all the same, half a pound and eight taels, not much better." Xiaoping looked at me with contempt.
I said angrily, "I'm bad, I'm okay." ”
"Yes, you're bad." Xiaoping deliberately angered me.
Xiaoping and I had not walked a few steps out of the house when we ran into a shirtless man.
Xiaoping pouted: "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, this person is a garlic nose." ”
I took a closer look at the man's nose and saw that it was true. His nose was big and red, like a red-skinned garlic stuck in it.
Garlic Nose saw Xiaoping, so he greeted him from afar: "Xiaoping, you are here." ”
"Here we are." Xiaoping frowned.
Garlic Nose walked over and said regretfully: "Xiaoping, your uncle is really short-lived, he left in his early fifties." Alas! It's a pity that the money he earned didn't end up and left. ”
Xiaoping asked straight to the point: "Do you know a person named Sister-in-law Tian?" ”
As soon as Garlic Nose heard the word "Sister-in-law Tian", he paused for a moment and asked, "You... Why are you asking this person for? ”
"Just ask." Xiaoping sensed the uneasiness of the garlic nose, and she prevaricated lightly.
Garlic touched the back of his head and replied hesitantly, "I seem to have heard of this person, but... I'm not impressed. ”
"Think again." Xiao Pinghu looked at the garlic nose suspiciously, trying to find the answer from his face.
Garlic nose patted his head, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and said, "You see that my brain is so stupid, why did I forget Sister-in-law Tian." Xiaoping, let me tell you: Sister-in-law Tian is also hired by your uncle, and she specializes in cooking for the engineering team. ”
I looked at the garlic nose and felt that there was an "article" on this sister-in-law, otherwise, why should the garlic nose deliberately avoid it?
Think about it: Sister-in-law Tian cooks for the engineering team, and she comes into contact with garlic every day, how can she easily forget it.
It seems that Sister-in-law Tian is a woman with a lot of "articles".
"Sister-in-law Tian is a cook?" Xiaoping was a little surprised.
It turned out that we speculated that Sister-in-law Tian was a woman raised by Liu Laosan, and it seems that this speculation is wrong.
If Sister-in-law Tian was hired by Liu Laosan to cook, then all doubts would be solved.
