Chapter 135
"He's from the same hometown as me."
A quarter of an hour later, the neatly dressed clam spirit and Tian Bajiao sat together. Facing the scrutinizing gazes of Boss Shen and Madam Wang, Tian Bajiao began to make up stories.
"He also went astray. By chance, he met Uncle Lame. He wanted to make some money, so he joined them in smuggling pearls. But the boat capsized on the way. He didn't know what to do, so he had to come to me.
I really couldn't refuse him, so I told him to stay for a few days and leave when he felt better. But who knew he would stay forever!"
Tian Bajiao was somewhat gritting his teeth.
The clam spirit covered her stomach, wiped her tears, and said weakly, "Ladies, don't be angry with her. It's my fault. I'm too weak to travel any further. She was afraid of causing trouble for the boss, so she had no intention of keeping me and kept sending me away..."
He glanced at Tian Bajiao and said aggrievedly, "I'll just leave."
He should have left!
Tian Bajiao: "Just go if you want to. Why are you looking at me? It's dark and there's no one around. Go quickly."
"Okay, take care of yourself." He stood up with difficulty, holding on to the table, and was about to move out.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait," Boss Shen called out to him anxiously, "Well, sit down first. Sit down and let's discuss this. It doesn't look like you can walk far like this. Does your family have anyone who can come pick you up? We can send them a message."
"No, I'm an orphan, I only know her..." He didn't sit down, but looked at Tian Bajiao again.
That's what I said.
Lady Wang was surprised and asked, "Are you her adopted husband?"
Tian Bajiao can read, draw, and recognize spices and medicinal herbs. No matter how you look at it, he had a good life in the past. If he had not lost his relatives, he would not have worked as a waiter.
So it is entirely possible that she had a child-rearing husband.
The two were childhood sweethearts, until Tian Bajiao could no longer support himself, so he abandoned her and ran away.
He came all the way here and happened to meet a lame peddler. When he heard that she was there and knew that she was short of money, he ruined his body just to smuggle pearls for her. She even drove him away for fear of getting into trouble.
The silence of the clam spirit made Boss Shen and Madam Wang look at Tian Bajiao with more condemnation in their eyes.
Regardless of gender, no one can be so irresponsible!
Tian Bajiao was speechless: "That's not the case, he..."
Forget it, Tian Bajiao is too lazy to say anything.
Now that things have come to this, let’s do whatever we want with love.
The clam spirit finally spoke at this time: "Yes, it's not that serious. We just met by chance. It's nothing serious. I'm very grateful that she can take me in for a few days. I won't cause her... and the two ladies any more trouble."
He took two steps forward, staggered, and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Oh, this..." Boss Shen looked at Tian Bajiao who was standing by and watching, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and find a doctor!"
Okay, okay, let’s find it.
Tian Bajiao called a doctor, and the doctor's brows were furrowed from the moment he took the patient's pulse.
Except for not being able to tell that he is a monster, all the diseases and injuries can be seen.
According to him, if Tian Bajiao asked him to leave now, it would mean that he was trying to kill him.
"Shuang'er's body is weaker than that of an ordinary person, and he also suffers from hemorrhage..."
But he is a demon!
Tian Bajiao couldn't listen at all and had to pretend to be ashamed.
But to be honest...the Valley Master who also has Shuang'er is not as pretentious as him.
And what does this have to do with her? What does it have to do with her?
It wasn't her who put the stone in there, was it?
But Boss Shen said to her, "Bajiao, you should be kind. No matter what time it is, we can't do such things as abandoning someone after having sex with them."
Madam Wang chimed in, "That's right. Besides, what's the situation now? If you let him go, where are you going to let him go? If he really dies, won't you regret it for the rest of your life?"
Tian Bajiao: "...Then I can't support him forever, right?"
"Why didn't you say this when you took the pearls?" Boss Shen looked at her disappointedly.
Tian Bajiao: "I'm not taking it. Even if I return it to him, he has nowhere to sell it. What if someone sees it? What will happen to him? I'm also thinking about him."
"Is he really thinking about you?" Lady Wang couldn't bear it any longer. "Do you really think about him so much that you can drive him away now?"
Madam Wang especially...felt the same.
If she had just given birth to a child and the child was snatched away and she was kicked out of the house, how would she feel?
She must have the intention to kill.
This little brother was so good-tempered. He left as soon as he was asked to and left all the beads to her.
"How come I didn't realize your character on other days?" Madam Wang was really angry.
"Sister, please don't scold her. I know she's just timid. I won't cause any trouble to her, and I won't cause any trouble to you either. I'm fine. I'll leave now."
He is quite excited now.
I guess he observed them a lot and was sure that these two people were soft-hearted, so he did this.
Boss Shen simply kept him.
Of course, it was not left for nothing. Tian Bajiao packed a bag of pearls for her and Wang Niangzi respectively.
Then he returned to the house angrily: "Are you satisfied?"
"Tian Bajiao!" Boss Shen, who came over with good intentions to deliver some clothes, caught her red-handed again.
"What I mean is, if he's dissatisfied with anything, he can tell me and I'll try to make him satisfied."
"You'd better," Boss Shen said to him, holding the clothes. "Little brother, these clothes are all left by my father. I see you don't have much luggage, so if you don't mind, take them and have them altered. Ask Bajiao to help you!"
She glanced at Tian Bajiao.
The clam spirit pretended to be serious and said, "Thank you so much, boss. I only have two sets of clothes to change into, and I'm soaked... She always won't let me wear them, saying it's troublesome. I guess she's afraid that I'll get soaked and have nothing to change into."
"No, she's just lazy!" Boss Shen sneered.
Tian Bajiao: ...I don’t want to say anything.
"Never again. I'll help you change it in a moment."
Boss Shen said, "Yes, if you have anything to say, just tell her. If she ignores you, tell me. I don't even know your name."
The clam spirit was stunned for a moment before saying, "I have the same last name as her, but I don't have a given name yet."
Boss Shen's anger was written all over his face.
Tian Bajiao tentatively asked, "How about... calling her Tian Zhu?"
"Why not call me Tianji?" Boss Shen thought it sounded unpleasant no matter how he listened to it. He turned around and said with a smile, "Little brother, if you don't mind, I can give you a name, okay?"
He looked at Tian Bajiao, as if he wanted to ask her everything.
What can Tian Bajiao say: "It's great that the boss is here."
"None of your business," Boss Shen said, not wanting to pay attention to her. After a moment's thought, he said, "If you don't mind, why not call me Lansun? How about Tian Lansun? I remember there's a saying: 'Orchids are beautiful, and sunflowers are fragrant.' Wearing these two together can ward off epidemics, expel evil spirits, and maintain good health. What do you think?"
Boss Shen is not very good at naming, but she knows to find something with good meaning instead of just coming up with it like some people do.
"Tian Lansun..." He muttered these words, completely unsure of their meaning. However, he could tell they were well-intentioned, so he smiled and said, "I like it very much. Thank you, boss. From now on, my name will be Lansun."
He then added, "If Jiao'er wants, you can also call me Ah Zhu."
Tian Bajiao: Enough, really enough, when will he stop pretending?!
