Chapter 134
It was such a big deal, it would be hard for Boss Shen not to hear about it.
"I heard about it. It's really scary. After such a big thing happened, you still dare to eat fish?"
"I didn't eat it. I just wanted the pearls. When I didn't see any, I threw the fish away. It cost me a lot of money."
Tian Bajiao was so sad that he almost cried.
Boss Shen asked worriedly, "These flowers are your own, right?"
"Of course I am. I am a gambler, not a madman."
If she said so, Boss Shen would feel relieved.
"Stop gambling."
"There's no gambling anymore. I heard the county officials took all the fish from the market, saying they were evidence. They forbade fishing, but they themselves are fishing in the river every day."
The people reported the case to the authorities because someone had died, but when the officials arrived, they were not in a hurry to investigate the case. Instead, they were in a hurry to find the pearls. They even wanted the people to send the pearls in their hands to the yamen. That was really a beautiful idea.
Tian Bajiao heard that they were already making a list and that anyone who had bought fish in the past few days would be questioned. She didn't know whether there would be a search, so she should hide deeper or just hide outside.
Boss Shen frowned and said, "They are just like that, they just mess around for a while and then it's over. It's a pity for those fishmongers, I'm afraid they will have a hard time.
Oh, forget it, let’s not talk about this.
How's business these days?"
It's useless for Boss Shen to worry. It's better for him to focus on his own business.
Tian Bajiao said, "A few days ago, the business was neither good nor bad. Some people came and couldn't buy what they wanted, so they left. But yesterday, business was good. After this incident, everyone wanted to burn incense and pray for peace. Maybe there will be some business today."
"Okay, open the door first. The delivery guy will be here soon. It's a good time to do business. Let's soak it first," Boss Shen said hesitantly. "Why don't you see a doctor? There's fish blood. You have... too much."
Tian Bajiao said, "No, it will be fine in two days."
Okay, Boss Shen saw that she was in good spirits and didn't seem to be in any trouble.
But Boss Shen still did a lot of work and didn't slack off like he used to.
She was useless even for moving things.
Take a break now. She has become so familiar with this one guy. If something happens to him, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Boss Shen is just lazy, not inhumane.
She even suspected that she had made Tian Bajiao sick, so she treated her to a good meal.
Seeing how guilty she was, Tian Bajiao felt very upset, so he went back to the room and put on some weak makeup.
Enjoy Boss Shen's conscience to the fullest.
For three consecutive days, she felt more like the owner of this store and felt extremely comfortable there.
But she also knew not to pretend too much, and she was fine on the fourth day.
Boss Shen also breathed a sigh of relief. The bailiffs had already come to question him and did not search the house. However, they did take away a few pearls from the house opposite.
However, Madam Wang said that she had hidden a few big ones, so she would not lose out anyway. As for the person next door who also bought fish... the yamen runners didn't even ask about it.
He must have received some instructions beforehand.
Tian Bajiao didn't care about these things. The incident was determined to be caused by strong winds and rough waves, which led to the boat capsizing and drowning, and the case was hastily closed.
No one knew about the existence of the clam spirit.
He said the men wouldn't let him leave the cabin.
I guess no one has seen him.
Tian Bajiao secretly fed him for half a month, but then he lost his patience and asked him at night: "Hey, when are you leaving?"
The meditating clam spirit said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I've given you so many pearls. You should be able to stay here for a year or two, let alone ten days or half a month."
"I have nowhere to sell those pearls. Now you're spending all the money I worked so hard to earn, and you're still eating so much."
What kind of snacks would a clam spirit eat?
Still picky.
Tian Bajiao got angry just thinking about it.
He: "That's your business. It's not like the beads are worthless. Besides, I'm not well yet."
"Why are you not feeling well? Isn't there nothing in your stomach?"
A few days ago, he transformed the remaining pieces of stone into beads and "brought them to life", so why did it fail again?
Tian Bajiao was just asking, but he was still unhappy.
"What are you talking about? You still know that those were the ones that came out of my stomach? They are out, don't I need to recuperate? Do you think it's like a hen laying eggs and you can run around after it's laid? Do you know how uncomfortable I am? Can't you see how much blood I have lost? I am already like this, and I have to face your disgust every day, which makes me physically and mentally exhausted. Now it's only been a few days, and you want to drive me away again. Do you have to let me die on the street to satisfy you? I have done so much for you, how can you be so heartless?"
He started yelling with a look of grief and indignation on his face, talking incessantly.
Tian Bajiao didn't have time to cover his mouth: "Can you please be quieter?"
"Why should I keep my voice down? What's there to be ashamed of? No matter how you look at it, I'm always right! Don't touch me, you heartless thing!"
He was anxious.
Tian Bajiao couldn't afford to offend her, so she could only avoid him: "If you don't want to touch me, then don't touch me. No one will pay attention to you. I'll go see if the boss has come back. Don't make any more noise."
Tian Bajiao opened the door with a creak. Boss Shen and Madam Wang, who were supposed to be chatting across the street, were standing in front of the door holding their children, staring at her in a daze.
And she didn't hear a sound, which was simply impossible.
Tian Bajiao was so angry that he laughed: He's been tricked, I'll go to hell with his ancestors.
"Boss, listen to me..."
"Don't say anything." Boss Shen raised his hand and pulled her out. Madam Wang was even faster and rushed into the house in a flash.
He took a deep breath.
Boss Shen leaned in and took another breath.
All eight eyes of the four people looked at her.
Tian Bajiao felt something was wrong at the time. Even if... there was a man in her room, she wouldn't be so shocked.
Tian Bajiao slowly poked his head in.
She was quite rough just now, but now her lips are red, her teeth are white, her skin is smooth, and her black hair is loose. She looks a little surprised and shy to be discovered. She pulls the quilt to cover her body, and there is not even a piece of cloth on her exposed shoulders and collarbones.
Tian Bajiao: "He was wearing clothes just now, he took them off himself. I don't have that kind of relationship with him. Speak!"
He didn't say anything. He bit his lower lip and looked at her. After a long time, he finally spoke.
"I've become like this for you, and you still don't like it?"
What he said was completely different from what Tian Bajiao said.
Besides, why would he change now if he didn’t change earlier or later?
Tian Bajiao didn't know what to say.
He said: "I understand. If you don't want me to stay, I'll just leave. Anyway, I've given you all the pearls. I'm of no use to you anymore."
What he said sounded strangely sad and lonely.
It's too late to say anything now...
