Chapter 56: Farce
Bai Xiaosheng's words caused a resonance among everyone present. Speaking of which, for some reason, few of the town's residents have children of their own. This is also the reason why the little beggars in the town can grow up healthily, and the residents do not have children of their own, so they will naturally give their love to those children who have no father or mother. But no matter what their purpose is, for Ning Xiao, they are all good people.
As the so-called things hurt their kind, the death of Mr. Tang made everyone feel the same way, although no one was sad enough to shed tears, but there were still many people with a smile on their faces and the same feelings. If you don't leave something behind, how can you prove that you have been here?
"Everyone!" Bai Xiaosheng interrupted everyone's discussion, "Everyone, we are about to fill in Mr. Tang's grave, do you have anything else to say to him?"
I don't know why, it is clear that many people are full of emotion, and they all came here to attend Mr. Tang's funeral at this moment, but there are few people who raise their hands to speak. There was a slightly chubby woman who raised her hand high for fear that others would not see her. Bai Xiaosheng saw that she was very positive, and considering that there were not many people talking, he thought that if this woman was asked to say something touching, more people would come to the stage to speak, right?
When the lady walked up to the podium, Li Linxi reminded Ning Xiao and said, "Look, she still has a note in her hand! It seems that she must have a lot to say to Mr. Tang...... I don't know what her relationship is with Mr. Donald?"
Ning Xiao didn't speak, but a strange expression appeared on his face. Li Linxi saw it and said very curiously: "What does this expression on your face mean?"
"It's nothing, just keep reading...... And I don't know if things are as I thought they we......" Ning Xiao shook his head and said.
Li Linxi is still asking, the lady who went to the podium has already begun to speak, and the girl is not entangled, if you don't say it, you won't say it, anyway, I will know if I listen to it!
"Good afternoon, everyone, anyway, everyone is a villager, so I don't need to tell you that my name is Qiu Xiang! I have nothing to do with Tang Bomiao, everyone knows that I have opened a clothing store in the town. A while ago, Tang Bomiao gave two taels of silver on credit at my house, this is an IOU, is there anyone to pay off the debt?" Qiu Xiang said as she waved the note in her hand.
Li Linxi looked at the woman on the stage with an incredulous expression, and turned his head to look at Ning Xiao, who had a strange expression, "You already knew?"
"As soon as you said that so many people came to Mr. Tang's funeral, and his popularity was great, I thought that if I didn't want to comfort you at that time, I would definitely make it clear to you in advance. That's it, the more lively is still to come, you can see it as you watch it......" Ning Xiao continued.
"More lively?" Li Linxi's heart was a little complicated at the moment, and the painting style in front of him was changing a little fast, "He won't owe a lot of money, right?"
"He still owes my family two taels of silver!" said one of the townspeople
"What is this, my family has borrowed ten taels of silver from him!" said another townsman
Well, many people are waving the IOUs in their hands at the moment, saying that Old Man Tang died without paying back the money, and clamoring that someone must pay back the money for Old Man Tang. The atmosphere of the entire funeral scene changed from the sadness and seriousness of Fang Cai to the hustle and bustle of the vegetable market, and the rapid change of the painting style was really jaw-dropping.
"Who is this old man Tang? He is really capable of owing so much money...... Li Linxi said with emotion.
Ning Xiao heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, since when did he have the ability to owe a lot of money and not pay it back? Well, people who owe a lot of money and don't pay it back, but can still borrow money from others, are really capable......
"Speaking of which, if this guy knows everything, he must have a good appetite, right?" Ning Xiao thought about the words and deeds in Old Man Tang's memory, and said with emotion.
This was heard by Jun Yishi, who had been pricking up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, and his heart moved, and he interjected: "Oh, why do you feel that you have the right appetite? Could it be that he ......?"
Ning Xiao nodded, "He is also a person in the gambling world, and he calls himself a gambling immortal, but everyone calls him O(∩_∩)O...... when he gambles."
Hearing this, he shook his head, "It's a pity that the seniors missed it like this, ......"
"Actually, you've lost a lot recently, and you want to find someone to win, but you have the easiest opportunity to win, so you missed it, so you feel sorry!" Feng Bujue couldn't help but complain.
Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, everyone waved the IOUs in their hands and wanted someone to pay off Tang Bomiao's debts, Bai Xiaosheng was so busy that he was sweating profusely. Interestingly, someone proposed to let Bai Xiaosheng repay Tang Bomiao's debts, but Bai Xiaosheng said angrily: "Tang Bomiao, the old king, the eighth egg, still owes this old man fifty taels of silver and hasn't paid it back!"
The people present were all villagers, and Ning Xiao didn't want to hurt the harmony because of a little money, so he said silently: "Don't quarrel, let me pay back the money for Old Man Tang!"
When everyone heard the voice, they found that it was a handsome offspring, and they all showed different colors. Bai Xiaosheng coughed, "This is Xiao Ningzi." ”
Only then did the villagers remember that this was the head of the beggars in the town back then! I hadn't seen them for more than a year, but they had grown into such a handsome appearance! But they didn't care about this, as long as someone paid back Tang Bomiao and let them avoid losses!
Without further ado, Ning Xiao repaid the money for Old Man Tang, and the suspended funeral was able to continue. Originally, the next step was to start filling the earth, during which each person would throw a bouquet of flowers into the tomb. However, now many people took Ning Xiao's silver and threw the IOU into the old man's grave.
It's all very interesting, I don't know Tang Baimiao, but I threw my clothes and ivory dice into the tomb. Ning Xiao looked at the gambler in surprise, and the gambler smiled innocently, "I bet that if there is no gambling equipment, he will be very lonely down there!"
"Well, if you have gambling equipment but no gambling book, he will definitely come back to you in the evening. Feng Bujue said seriously.
The funeral was soon over, and the crowd gradually dispersed. Bai Xiaosheng came over to thank Ning Xiao for his help, and of course he mercilessly asked for fifty taels of silver from Ning Xiao......
Seeming to be pleased that there was no loss, Bai Xiaosheng reminded Ning and said with a smile: "Old Man Tang still has a house in the town, and now that you have paid back the money for Old Man Tang, then this house is naturally yours! )
