Chapter 1222 - Stepping on Iron Shoes and Finding Nowhere to Find
I have only come back once in many years, and when I came back, I met the villagers so enthusiastically, Jiang Jiuniang was happy, and sincerely thanked them for helping her family clean up the house, asked the people who raised pigs in the village, bought an adult pig, and distributed it to everyone.
Now this little money is nothing to her, but everyone is grateful to her, and said that they will definitely guard this house in the future.
In the evening, the family of three ate at Zhang's sister-in-law's house, although they have been separated for many years, they are not unfamiliar at all, everyone chatters and is very happy.
What Jiang Jiuniang admires the most is that Sister-in-law Zhang is a smart person, and the topics all revolve around children, first talking about the excellence of dogs, let her two sons learn from dogs, and cherish the opportunity to study, and said that Jiang Jiuniang is now pregnant, sharing some pregnancy experience, not mentioning Lu Baichuan's official status in the national capital, nor asking what business the Lu family is doing now, how big the family business is, etc.
However, Brother Zhang was a little curious and wanted to ask them what they were doing when they came back this time, but they were blocked by Sister-in-law Zhang.
"What's the matter with you? What other reason can they have to go back to their own home, naturally they will come back if they want to! ”
After Sister-in-law Zhang finished speaking, she smiled and said to Lu Baichuan: "Don't pay attention to him, eat more!" ”
Lu Baichuan said: "There are some things to do, so I came back to live for a while." ”
Zhang Youwei smiled and said, "It's okay to stay for a while, I won't go out to set up a stall tomorrow, go to the mountain to see if there are any good things, and let your sister-in-law show you another hand!" ”
Although they knew that the Lu family was now developed and there was no shortage of such good things on weekdays, they just came back and sent pork in the village, and they also wanted to express their gratitude, no matter what, it was also a heart.
Sister-in-law Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, go to the mountains to find some prey or mushrooms or something......
"No, no, Brother Zhang, don't delay your business, there are a lot of outsiders in the city these days, it's a good time to do business, let's not rush this moment."
No matter how greedy Jiang Jiuniang is, she can't delay people from making money, it's rare to have so many customer flows, it's a pity not to make a fortune.
"It's okay......"
Sister-in-law Zhang still wanted to excuse herself, but was stopped by Jiang Jiuniang: "Sister-in-law, listen to my advice, don't miss the opportunity and come again." ”
"Harm, okay, then you stay for a while longer, and when you're busy for a while, I'll let you let Brother Zhang go hunting game to replenish your body!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Jiuniang responded, and Zhang Youwei smiled beside her: "Have you heard about the treasure on the way back, we suddenly came to Changzhou with so many people, just for the treasure!" ”
Lu Baichuan and Jiang Jiuniang glanced at each other, and asked instead of answering: "Brother Zhang knows the reason?" ”
Zhang Youwei waved his hand and said, "It's not very clear, I only know that this is a lie." ”
The two were more interested: "How do you know?" ”
"Because I know that Taoist priest who is rumored to be a god! That's a charlatan, a fortune-telling stall, right next to my pancake stall, sometimes you can't deceive people, you don't have any money in your hand, and you have a cheeky face to ask me for pancakes. ”
Zhang Youwei took a sip of wine and continued: "Alas, he is also forced by life, but he is a bottom-line person, who only cheats the money of the rich, not the poor." ”
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Youwei is willing to give him pancakes to eat when the Taoist priest can't eat.
Lu Baichuan and Jiang Jiuniang glanced at each other again, and saw the same look in each other's eyes.
It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
"Then why did he suddenly talk about the treasure? And there are also poor people who have been deceived by these thousands of mountains and rivers, why should he deceive? ”
Lu Baichuan's expression became a little serious, Zhang Youwei was just talking about it as a gossip, but now when he saw Lu Baichuan like this, he suddenly panicked in his heart, and asked carefully: "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Baichuan sat up straight in an instant, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhang, we came back this time to investigate this matter, this matter is very widespread, and it has spread to several cities outside, causing a lot of turmoil. ”
Sister-in-law Zhang's family was stunned, they thought it was just a charlatan playing with everyone, but they didn't expect it to be so serious!
"W-Is it really that serious?"
Zhang Youwei stammered when he spoke, and the meat in the bowl suddenly became fragrant.
Lu Baichuan nodded solemnly: "It's really serious, so Brother Zhang, if you have any clues, you must tell me, it's a big deal." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll think about it!"
Zhang Youwei didn't eat anymore, so he sat there thinking about the Taoist priest.
"I remember! I remember the last time he came to me to buy pancakes, he looked very sad and said that it was probably the last time he would eat my pancakes in his life, and I thought he was joking with me, so I asked him if he was going to make a living somewhere else, and he said no, he was forced to do things that were against his conscience and threatened him with the lives of his family. He didn't always have much truth in his mouth, so I listened to it casually and didn't take it to heart, and now that I think about it, he was really sad at the time. ”
Zhang Youwei slapped his thigh, he regretted it very much, if only he had asked a few more words at that time!
"When was the last time he asked you to buy pancakes?"
Zhang Youwei carefully calculated the time and said cautiously: "It is estimated that it was two months ago, and I forgot the specific date." ”
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Zhang slapped him: "What do you mean to forget, think about it carefully!" ”
Zhang Youwei looked at the others, and the others also looked at him with blank eyes.
Especially his two sons, he also said: "It's a big deal, Dad! ”
Zhang Youwei suddenly felt a lot of pressure, hugged his head and said, "Okay, good, I'll think about it!" ”
So, he began to push forward day by day, thinking carefully about what he was doing at the time.
"I remember, it was the afternoon of the 18th two months ago! Because that day, the owner of the inn next to me came to check the accounts, saying that the harvest of the inn was not very good, and there was a big fire, and I was scared when I set up a stall outside. The owner's scolding is really ugly, I thought that there was no one anyway, and the weather was cold, so I just closed the stall and went home, and the Taoist priest came at that time. ”
"Every time I used to buy pancakes, I would pick and search, and often bargain with me, saying that he couldn't deceive a rich man for a few days, and it was really not easy, but that day he was very generous, and directly gave me a tael of silver, saying that he would return the ones I gave him to eat before."
Zhang Youwei laughed, feeling that he was too smart.
Jiang Jiuniang asked, "Are you sure it's the eighteenth?" ”
He nodded vigorously: "Sure, because the owner of the inn will go to check the accounts on the eighteenth of every month, and that time happens to be during the Chinese New Year, and many foreigners return to their hometowns, and business is not very good, so the owner will be so angry." ”
