Chapter 198
In any case, Tian Bajiao waited with Boss Shen for a whole night, but that night, Zhou Erye did not come back at all.
He didn't come back until dawn.
The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on their gloomy faces, which showed only despair.
Tian Bajiao: Well done, Mr. Zhou Er. You spent one whole night offending three women.
"Boss, are you still waiting?"
"Go home and eat."
Boss Shen hadn't forgotten to eat yet, but she still had a conscience and didn't let Tian Bajiao cook. She took her to buy some food.
When they went there, the breakfast vendors hadn't set up their stalls yet. She took Tian Bajiao and knocked on the door of a food store. Turning to Tian Bajiao, she said, "I knew they must be up. This place is the best. Boss, give me two trays of steamed buns and two bowls of wontons. Do you have any other dishes ready?"
Forget about the food, they haven’t even started the fire yet. They must have come very early.
After finishing the meal, Boss Shen realized that he didn't bring enough money, so he simply didn't pay, just wrote down the bill and left.
The shop owner, who had worked for a long time but hadn't made a penny, yawned and said sleepily, "Okay, come again."
That's difficult.
If you want to see Boss Shen get up early, the best way is to ask her to stay up all night.
Tian Bajiao did not accuse her at all. She fell asleep as soon as she got home and did not wake up until the afternoon.
I feel hungry when I wake up. It is really worth hiring Tian Bajiao for this shop. She doesn't have to worry about anything. The business is all supported by Bajiao.
He was quite caring. After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth and said, "Bajiao, put away the dishes and wash them. I have to go see Liu Suniang."
Look, how much he cares about people, he even cares about dogs.
Tian Bajiao: "Why do I have to wash it again?"
"Oh, someone is about to die over there. What's wrong with you washing two dishes? If you don't want to, leave them for me. Be careful not to let cockroaches crawl on them."
Boss Shen gave some instructions, took the calming incense and left in a hurry.
Tian Bajiao: "...Can the cockroach listen to me?"
If you don't want it to crawl, you still have to brush it clean.
We agreed to take turns, and she didn't even follow the rules she set. Not to mention that someone was about to die, even if someone was about to be buried, what did it have to do with her?
It seemed as if she could get what she wanted just by getting close to him.
Liu Suniang only had suspicion towards her, no trust and no gratitude.
The good people in this world are so strange!
Tian Bajiao didn't understand anything and couldn't do it, so he washed the dishes and then fell asleep at the counter.
Business is slow, and those two bowls are not even as greasy as they seem.
Only three people came in the whole afternoon, all of them were buying loose incense, and they were bargaining. One of the sisters was so ruthless, it seemed like she wanted them to give it away for free.
Tian Bajiao couldn't help but sob and began to tell her about his mother who died young, his father who died of illness, his heartless relatives and his cruel boss. After talking for a long time, she was still as hard-hearted as a man: "What does this have to do with me? Are you going to sell it or not?"
Tian Bajiao had no choice but to hold back her tears and said, "I really can't sell it at this price. Why don't you go look somewhere else?"
She waved her hand and said, "I've been there, but they won't sell it to me. Forget it, I'll just do as you say. But the exact weight. If it's less, don't blame me for giving you trouble."
"Don't worry, customers. We are the most fair here and never cheat our customers."
Tian Bajiao had thought about cheating on the weight and passing off good goods as inferior goods to make some money for herself, but she was too lazy to bother.
Last time I was greedy for money and almost lost my life. Now I am in exile. Nothing is more important than stability.
After seeing off this difficult sister, Tian Bajiao closed the door as it was getting late.
She went out to greet Boss Shen, but she was almost at Zhou's house and still couldn't find her.
Are you not planning to go back?
Tian Bajiao asked the doorman, "Is Mr. Shen still at your house? I'm a clerk at Dingxiangfang. I saw that Mr. Shen was late, so I came to ask."
She met the doorman's puzzled gaze and explained to him.
He then said, "Your boss left a long time ago. It's been almost two hours. Why hasn't he returned yet?"
"Oh, so, then she must be visiting somewhere. Did she say where she was going?"
"That's not what I said."
"Then I'll look for it again. Thanks for letting me know."
Tian Bajiao thanked him sincerely, then turned around and frowned.
Walked for two hours?
Where did this go?
Tian Bajiao went to see the place where the two of them had been hiding yesterday, but there was no one there. She returned to the store, but still couldn't see her.
The lights in the house opposite had been turned off a long time ago, so he definitely didn't go to see Lady Wang. So where did he go?
Tian Bajiao searched all the places she knew, trying her best not to alarm anyone, and also went to Liu's herbal medicine shop to take a look.
There were only four desperate men there, drowning their sorrows in alcohol.
The more you pour water, the harder she cries.
"I just drank too much and forgot to go back," Zhou Erye sobbed, hugging his father-in-law's thigh. "Dad, she won't beat me to death, will she?"
"Maybe not if we go somewhere else to drink, but you're drinking with us, sir! She can't burn us to death, right?"
The father-in-law was even more frightened than him, his body was shaking like a sieve.
Looking at the two brothers... they were still hugging each other and crying.
The stepmother was no longer praying or rolling her eyes, she was packing her luggage.
When I left, those guys saw me and had the nerve to ask, "Where are you going?"
She said calmly, "Drink, I'm going to the temple for a few days. I really don't want to see you anymore."
"No, what will we eat if you leave?" Father Liu still wanted to persuade him.
She became calmer. "Eat yourselves! I've often thought about stewing you these days. If I stay any longer, I might end up committing murder. It's truly a sin..."
Father Liu:......
He stammered, "Then let's go tomorrow morning. I'll take you there then. It's not safe to walk at night."
"No, drink it. If you die from drinking, it will be a happy thing. As for me, don't worry. I will definitely die after you."
She said this with a kind look and left.
Tian Bajiao: I really should have brought my bedding with me. I could watch this kind of show all night long without getting tired of it.
Oh yes, Boss Shen...
She remembered her important business and hurried to look for someone again, but in the end she returned empty-handed.
The town was not big, but she couldn't go door to door looking for him. After going to several places she had mentioned but finding no one there, Tian Bajiao went back to Zhou's house.
He looked around again. In the east courtyard, the mother and son were having a great time, the old lady in the main house was sleeping soundly, and the west courtyard seemed rather solemn.
Liu Suniang asked the servants with a cold face, "Has the Second Master come back?"
"Not yet," a maid replied, and then advised, "Don't worry, Madam. Sister Xing'er has already gone to look for him. I believe the Second Master will be back soon."
"He's the best," Liu Suniang sneered and ordered, "Go heat up the food and warm up two pots of wine..."
