Chapter 213
Tian Bajiao's act of stealing meat could not be hidden from Boss Shen at all.
She discovered it that day, but didn't take it seriously.
Just eat it. Eat more and you will get better faster and do more.
It was difficult for her to move, but the star anise was jumping all over the ground. It showed that eating more was beneficial. Besides, what she ate were all leftovers, and there were only a few bites in total. She was afraid that they would go bad if she kept them.
Boss Shen didn't care. What made her angry was that Tian Bajiao used her things to coax other people's children and got the benefits without taking her with him.
What? Doesn't she look like she can't eat eggs?
Don't think she didn't hear their whispers.
She sat there, and the kitchen was right there in the wall.
Tian Bajiao promised, "Next time, I will definitely leave some for you next time."
"Who cares?" Boss Shen sighed. "I'm just worried you'll get into trouble. If that person's mother hears what you just said and comes looking for him, I wonder what you'll do."
"She won't come to our house. If she had the guts, how could she let others bully her daughter? Even if she comes, I'm not afraid. At most, I'll have a fight with her. We don't need her father-in-law to see a doctor, so we're not afraid of offending anyone." Tian Bajiao is not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business casually. He always has to leave a way out for himself.
Boss Shen nodded: "That's true, but it's not good for outsiders to get involved in this kind of thing. They are a family. Now the child listens to you, but maybe her parents treat her well, and then they turn around and sell you out, and even think you're a bad person."
"Look, everyone is blind in this world. What's so scary about a child?"
However, Tian Bajiao thought that the child was quite clever and had good physical and mental strength. If she was taught well, she might have a bright future. Unfortunately, she was born in such a family, and they probably wouldn't plan anything for her.
Boss Shen sighed again when he heard her say this: "Ah, it's true, a child... is quite pitiful. Her grandfather is really cruel. It's not like he can't afford to support her, but he has to do such a thing..."
Boss Shen had also heard something about Sister Duofu's story. The little girl's name was Zhaozhao, and she was two years older than Duofu. Last year, she was bought to a family in the east of the town as a child bride. The family was afraid that she would run away, so they didn't even let her go out, and often beat and scolded her. The neighbors could hear her crying.
But how could a little girl like Duofu know such a thing? She thought her sister had gone somewhere she didn't know.
"I heard that Duofu originally had a twin sister named Duozi, but she died a few days after birth. She was quite pitiful."
Boss Shen suspected that she might not have died on her own, but this speculation made no sense, so she didn't say anything. After all, if she was really that cruel, Duofu would definitely not have grown to this age.
The doctor originally had two sons, but the eldest son died, leaving only the youngest son. He attached great importance to the youngest son and placed all his hopes of continuing the family line, inheriting the shop and medical skills on the youngest son. However, the youngest son was not very angry. He just wanted to have a grandson as soon as possible, but Shuang Gui couldn't give birth, so he naturally didn't have a good face.
Madam Wang also knew another thing, which was about Shuang Gui. She heard that Shuang Gui had to go back every night just to give birth to a child.
Tian Bajiao suddenly understood: "No wonder she was hesitant and refused to speak. She refused to stay even if I offered her more money."
She definitely wouldn't dare.
If she delayed her "important business", her mean father-in-law would definitely not forgive her.
But she could get pregnant by working so hard every day? Tian Bajiao didn't believe it. Anyone who knew a little about medicine knew that it was easier for a woman to get pregnant if she was in good health. However, if the seeds were not good, it would be useless no matter how good the field was.
Tian Bajiao thought so, and so did Boss Shen, and both asked.
Madam Wang said mysteriously, "They just got a secret recipe, and a lot of people are buying it. I guess they're taking the medicine."
Lady Wang was quite regretful: "If only I had gotten pregnant earlier, why did I have to wait until now?"
"What kind of secret recipe can there be for something like this? Is it reliable?" Boss Shen frowned, not believing it at all.
Madam Wang chuckled, "If there's a secret recipe for longevity, why not something like this?"
Isn't she making fun of people?
Boss Shen's face turned red with anger: "I don't want to bother with you!"
She turned her head away angrily. Tian Bajiao saw that although Madam Wang was smiling, there was always a hint of scrutiny in her eyes when she looked at her. She knew that Madam Wang had not given up on the matter of whether Boss Shen was real or fake.
But apart from her personality and behavior, there was nothing different about her. Tian Bajiao once asked her about it, and she said puzzledly: "The moles and scars on her body all match, but I still feel...she's not herself."
Tian Bajiao was also confused and could only say: "People always change. Maybe she wants to change her way of life."
"Maybe..." Madam Wang still looked a little unconvinced, but since then, she treated Boss Shen the same as before.
But now it seems that she still doesn't believe it.
Tian Bajiao thought: If there really is another Boss Shen, what would that real Boss Shen’s reaction be at this time?
She couldn't guess that she hadn't been with Boss Shen for long.
Instead of thinking about this, she might as well take the opportunity to rest.
There aren't many opportunities to be lazy with a clear conscience.
They were just gossiping. Madam Wang was very careful about her belly and seldom went out. She didn't listen to the excitement much, so they could only talk about old things. No one thought that there would be any follow-up to Shuang Gui's matter.
One day, when Tian Bajiao was jumping around in the yard, he saw her vomiting while leaning against a half-built wall, and his eyes immediately lit up.
I happily leaned over and said, "I guess you didn't eat something bad? Are you pregnant?"
Shuang Gui's moist eyes lit up a little, and she seemed very excited, but she soon shook her head in disappointment: "I just got my period half a month ago."
"Some people get their periods when they're pregnant," Tian Bajiao had heard. "Let's ask a doctor to take a look. If he's positive, tell your family."
She really meant well, but Shuang Gui hesitated: "I don't have money..."
Liu Suniang shouted from inside the house, "You can get your wages."
"That won't work. I have to get my wages back. I'd better go back and ask my father-in-law to take a look."
She bit her lip, having made up her mind.
Duofu held a few bricks and looked at them eagerly.
Tian Bajiao glanced at her, then looked at Shuang Gui: "What if it wasn't you? Wouldn't you be asking for trouble?"
"Father-in-law, that's not right..." Shuang Gui, perhaps feeling embarrassed to hear such things spread from other people's mouths, blushed, stammered, and sighed, "Even if the elders say a few words, it won't hurt. We have a pharmacy at home, why should we hire another doctor..."
Liu Suniang walked to the backyard speechlessly and said, "Then go and leave Duofu behind."
"Oh, okay, thank you Madam Liu, I'll be back soon."
When Shuanggui heard her say this, she smiled happily and left quickly without even looking at her daughter.
Tian Bajiao looked at Duofu and said, "Don't hold it in your hands. You don't know how to build it."
"Yes, give it to her," Liu Suniang pointed at Tian Bajiao and said angrily to Tian Bajiao, "Tell that so-and-so to stop being so shameless. Two people tore down a wall and asked one family to repair it. How could she not be so happy!"
Boss Shen could hear her loud voice and shouted, "Liu, what are you dreaming about? You have the nerve to ask me to fix the problem you chose. Do you think you can run a horse with such a big face?"
