Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Long-Tongued Woman
In the morning, Sun Xiaoqiang opened the door of the store and began to tally, Lao Dao lay on the bench and kept humming, his wound was still a little painful, of course, his most uncomfortable estimate was still in the bottom of his heart, last night I wanted to take care of the neighbors of the old street leisurely, but inexplicably encountered a serial killer who was committing a crime.
If it weren't for the stack of dark money given by Sun Xiaoqiang in advance, it is estimated that he would have reported it to Lord Yama.
That's right
As soon as he thought of this, Lao Dao suddenly felt that when the boss came back, he had to ask if there was any Lord Yama in hell, as well as Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu (black and white impermanence).
"Hey, it's just a little injury, you don't need to look like this, right?" Sun Xiaoqiang was a little annoyed by the old "hum" sound.
"When people are old and don't use them, they can't recover better than your young body. Lao Dao pinched his fingers and poked Sun Xiaoqiang.
"Okay, what should you do, if you don't go to work today, go back to lie down and sleep and rest. Sun Xiaoqiang shook his head and began to take out all the documents to settle the accounts.
Liang Chuan didn't pay much attention to the ledger and documents before, for Liang Chuan, the purpose of opening this underworld shop and experiencing life was most, and he didn't think about making a fortune with this.
But Sun Xiaoqiang is different, he likes this feeling of controlling a store, even if it is just a store, but it gives him a real experience of playing business games before.
It's just that, after calculating, Sun Xiaoqiang feels that the expenses and income of the store are basically balanced, especially after the expansion of the shop next door under the plate, the rent has doubled, and after a month, there are few children at all.
"Hey, are you still helping him settle accounts?" Lao Dao said with some surprise, "Hehe, your boss has a lot of money, and people don't care about this at all." ”
"Don't bother me. Sun Xiaoqiang was depressed.
"Poor Dao told you, you have to be kind when talking to the old man, I was just frightened, and if you shout twice, I will probably kick my legs directly. ”
"Then you can take care of the business in the store. Sun Xiaoqiang teased without raising his head.
"You kid is looking for a draw!" Lao Dao was about to get up from the chair, but at this moment, he saw Liang Chuan and Tang Shi walking in at the door.
"Yo, boss?" Lao Dao clutched his chest and pretended to be in pain, and sat back in his chair, he needed to create the impression that he was still working hard and giving even if he was injured.
Liang Chuan ignored him at all, and sat back in the chair behind his counter.
Tang Shi stood for a while, left the store, and went back to the hotel he rented.
Sun Xiaoqiang poured a cup of hot tea, brewed another bowl of sesame paste and put it in front of Liang Chuan.
"Thank you. ”
Sun Xiaoqiang was a little surprised, usually Liang Chuan would not be so polite to himself, although there was a slight warm current flowing in his heart, but Sun Xiaoqiang's habit of being cheap reappeared:
"Gone out to defend world peace again?"
Liang Chuan was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and then saw Sun Xiaoqiang settling accounts, and said:
"How's the recent turnover?"
Since Sun Xiaoqiang came, Liang Chuan slowly didn't pay much attention to the situation in the store, what he did most every day was to bask in the sun and sit in the store and read books, and Sun Xiaoqiang was managing the rest of the things.
"Don't lose or earn. Sun Xiaoqiang said helplessly, "The next door is just to find a place for the two of us to sleep? Although this is an old street, the rent is really not cheap, and it is still a two-story household." ”
Liang Chuan wanted to say that every day when he went downstairs, he felt very uncomfortable when he saw the two of you laying on the ground, so he would rather spend some money to get out of sight.
But come to think of it, let's not talk about it.
"Boss, did you catch the murderer?" Lao Dao was very concerned about this issue, after all, he was almost killed by the murderer.
"It should ...... Caught it. Liang Chuan replied, thinking that he and Tang Shi had already returned, the murderer's body should have been discovered by the police, and the scene had also been cleaned up by him, so there should be no traces left, plus he and Tang Shi had not been in contact with each other.
"Caught?" the old Taoist said, "Buddha bless." ”
Sun Xiaoqiang glanced at Liang Chuan with some surprise, he could guess that the murderer was caught and Liang Chuan must have something to do with it, otherwise it would be impossible for Tang Shi to be called out by Liang Chuan in the morning.
Unless you think these two guys are going out on a date early in the morning, but is that possible?
"Okay, don't forget the account first, and then go make up some inventory, it's useful at night." Liang Chuan said.
"Okay. Poor Dao immediately clapped his hands and said, he guessed what Liang Chuan was going to do, he was more concerned about this matter now than Sun Xiaoqiang, and even insisted on helping Sun Xiaoqiang replenish the stock despite the injury on his chest that had just been bandaged, this time he made up his mind to collect more money.
Liang Chuan got up and went to the bathroom, the cold water kept patting his eyes, and his eyes still hurt, and this pain is estimated to last for three or two days.
In the past day, too many things have happened, and what touches Liang Chuan the most is not the case, but the incident that he almost exchanged bodies with the murderer at the last moment.
Judging from Tang Shi's reaction, she didn't know that there was still this possibility, of course, her ability was to control things.
This body swap can be studied a little carefully in the future.
The reason why Liang Chuan didn't try to ask Tang Shi about the secret in the past month is very simple:
He's lazy.
Because these secrets don't seem to mean much to him.
Tang Shi, like himself, couldn't sleep without Pu'er,
Like myself, I have an instinctive sense of rejection in the face of food, which comes from the fear and aversion of eating from the depths of my soul.
In this case, even if she has some secrets, it is impossible to improve her life, and this kind of secret, knowing and not knowing, is actually no different.
Wu Dahai should be busy dealing with the follow-up of the case, and after a while, Liang Chuan will go to him to replace him with the resignation of the consultant, as Sun Xiaoqiang just asked: Go out to defend world peace again?
This does sound ironic.
When I came out of the bathroom, I just saw Cinnabar walking in, Cinnabar was wearing a red down jacket today, and the whole person looked beaming.
"Brother Liang, isn't your complexion right today?" Cinnabar obviously noticed Liang Chuan's malaise, and of course, Liang Chuan's forehead was still injured.
"What's the matter?"
"Happy event. Cinnabar smiled, "I'll go back to my hometown later, help me make a dark bill and ingots or something, and I'll bring it back later." ”
"Happy event?" Liang Chuan asked again.
"Yes, happy news, my sister-in-law was hit by a big truck while driving in the wrong direction on the highway and died. Cinnabar said with a smile.
"Good. Liang Chuan personally helped cinnabar pack.
"Hey, Brother Liang, you can't do this, you have to learn moderation, after all, fine water can flow for a long time, isn't it?" Cinnabar thought that Liang Chuan had played too much of that game recently, so he became like this.
It is also true that Liang Chuan now looks like he has been squeezed dry.
Liang Chuan didn't explain anything, and handed the two bags of things that had been packed to Cinnabar.
"How much?" asked Cinnabar.
"I've sent your sister-in-law. ”
"Hey. Cinnabar took a sip of Liang Chuan, still put a hundred yuan on the table, then stretched his waist, and said: "Your store's business looks average, why is it recruiting new employees and expanding the store." ”
"Fooling around. Liang Chuan was perfunctory.
If it were a normal time, he would have liked to talk to this woman with a big personality, but now, he doesn't have that energy.
It's just that today, Sister Zhu's interest is extremely high, and it has the meaning that people are in good spirits when they are happy.
"Brother Liang, do you know what my sister-in-law looked like when she died?" Cinnabar gestured to Liang Chuan, "It is said that the whole head was knocked down;
Tsk, it's a pity that it was hit in my hometown, I didn't have time to see the scene, otherwise I really have to take a group photo. ”
"It's a shame indeed. "Liang Chuan just doesn't ask you if you have a grudge with your sister-in-law, and doesn't give Cinnabar a chance to tell in detail about the festival between her and her sister-in-law.
"What are you doing with your sister-in-law?" Lao Dao had just come out of the basement at this time and asked directly.
Cinnabar's eyes suddenly lit up, and she began to count her sister-in-law's various wrongs and contradictions between her sister-in-law, of course, countless, Cinnabar's family conditions were originally okay, but she was also squeezed out by her sister-in-law, and finally ran out to open a massage hall by herself.
Lao Dao is a muddy person again, and he keeps echoing there: "Ah, why is she like this." "There are still people like that. "It's not a thing. ”
In short, cinnabar has gained a common language here in the old way.
When Liang Chuan came back from going around the warehouse in person, he found that Cinnabar was still there and continued to talk to Lao Dao, but Cinnabar was already in tears.
While crying for his nephew,
While crying for his bitter brother,
while crying about their tragic fate and so on.
Lao Dao was beside her to comfort.
"What's wrong with her today?"
Sun Xiaoqiang walked out of the warehouse with a cardboard box and asked Liang Chuan, who was standing beside him.
Obviously, he felt that something was wrong with cinnabar today;
He often goes to Cinnabar for massage on weekdays, the relationship between the two is not bad, and they chat together when they have nothing to do, and Cinnabar often asks him about the story of his boss in the bedroom at night, and he follows the plot of the island country quality education film he has seen before to tell Cinnabar.
Liang Chuan frowned slightly,
The red light in his eyes appeared slowly, but then slowly dissipated, he was too tired, and he was seriously overdrawn today.
"Old-fashioned. Liang Chuan shouted.
"What's the matter, boss. "The old way answered.
"Do you still have family heirlooms?" asked Liang Chuan.
"Mu, all Mu, I gave you the boss last time. "The old man shook like a rattle.
"Then you wait for bad luck. After Liang Chuan said this, he walked directly up the stairs.
Hearing Liang Chuan's words, Lao Dao's face was shocked, he turned his head to look at Cinnabar, who was still crying to him, and secretly pulled out the last remaining heirloom rune paper from his tights, and then pasted it directly on Cinnabar's arm.
"My life is miserable............ It's a hard life............ It's really hard............"
Lao Dao's eyes widened,
And he saw the back of the cinnabar,
Carrying an old lady,
At this point,
Cinnabar was squinting and staggering, as if he hadn't woken up,
And the old lady on Cinnabar's back continued to babble her tragic story............
