Chapter 217
Tian Bajiao picked up Duofu and quietly left the pharmacy. He put her down on the ground from a distance and asked, "Where do you want to go home?"
Duofu: ...
"I don't want to."
"Oh, let's go buy some groceries," Tian Bajiao took her hand.
I went to the market and sent this child, who had been extremely silent all the way, back home.
When he was near the door, he asked her, "Would you like to leave your things with me first? Madam Liu and the others will definitely ask you about it if you take them back."
"No, I'll tell them," Duofu seemed to have thought it through, and raised his eyes and said, "Auntie, thank you."
"You're welcome." Tian Bajiao also watched the fun, and considered it a draw.
"Auntie, don't tell anyone that you took me back."
Duofu gave Tian Bajiao a warning, let go of his hand, grabbed his bag, the broken bed board, and ran away with his vegetable basket. Tian Bajiao had just entered the shop when Boss Shen asked, "You're back?"
From next door came the sound of crying.
It was Duofu's voice. She cried and cried, "Madam Liu, my mother doesn't want me anymore!"
This is the truth. Although her mother didn't say it directly, her meaning is very clear: she just doesn't want her to go back.
Even the bed was taken apart and the clothes were given away...
"Alas." Tian Bajiao sighed.
Boss Shen poked her: "What's going on?"
"That's it..." Tian Bajiao was too lazy to say anything.
Boss Shen simply leaned against the wall and listened.
He frowned, and then frowned even tighter.
Duofu really cried for a long time, and then gradually became silent. Boss Shen and Tian Bajiao went to the backyard to see that it was Mr. Zhou who carried her back to the house.
Duofu never mentioned going home again.
But one time, I sent her bag to Tian Bajiao and asked her, "Auntie, can you help me send this back?"
"You don't want it anymore?"
"No."
Duofu never wanted to do that. She went back just to talk to her mother.
But all she got was sadness, a pink jacket and a pea green skirt. She said her sister was wearing the same clothes on the day she left.
She doesn't want it.
"Mrs. Liu is going to adopt me! I can call her mother from now on."
Duofu, with her hair tied in two buns, wore a goose yellow dress and colorful bell-bottom pants. She ran out skipping and jumping, with her long red hairband floating in the air, as if she was dancing.
Madam Liu liked her very much and raised her to be happy and cute. She was a completely different person compared to when she first came.
Xing'er also likes to play with her.
Duofu gradually came to see Tian Bajiao less and less. He would only talk to her when they met occasionally. After the wall was built, they talked less and less.
After all, he is just a child. He will be closer to whoever he is closer to, and will gradually become unfamiliar with those he doesn't see often.
Tian Bajiao didn't care much either.
When the relationship was finally recognized, she sent the clothes back, and Shuang Gui took them. She was about to give birth and was still sweeping the yard.
Tian Bajiao knocked on the back door and gave her the things.
She asked Tian Bajiao, "Is Duofu okay?"
Tian Bajiao said: "That's good. She changed her name from Duofu to Liu Hexiang."
"Your surname is Liu? Why not Zhou?" Shuang Gui's expression looked a little strange.
Tian Bajiao said, "Why is it important? Mr. Zhou Er is all raised by Madam Liu. Yesterday, a customer was haggling over the price, and I heard him say that he has no say and that Wenxiang Pavilion is his wife's herbal medicine shop."
Everyone in town says he's a gigolo, so does it matter what the child's last name is?
"This is still different, right? If they have their own children in the future, maybe they will have the surname Zhou."
"Huh? Madam Liu didn't seem to have said she wanted to have a baby? Where did you hear that?"
Tian Bajiao looked at Shuanggui's somewhat stiff face, turned around and left.
This person is also a weirdo. He even has to say a few more words about things that have nothing to do with her.
"Oh, right!" Tian Bajiao stopped and called her, "Duofu likes meat and eggs, or salty and savory things, and doesn't really like crispy candies."
Tian Bajiao didn't dare to say how familiar she was with her, but just by spending some time together occasionally, she had figured out Duofu's taste.
And every time Madam Liu called the peddler, he would sell her meat cakes.
There was clearly dried meat on the table that day, but they gave her a piece of the most inconspicuous crispy candy. What was she trying to do?
Tian Bajiao didn't bother to care about her reaction and left without looking back.
It was a year later that I saw her again. She was wearing a tiger-head hat on the street, lovingly picking it up.
I heard that she got her wish and gave birth to a son, but the child was a little weak when he was born and was sick every other day. Fortunately, his family ran a pharmacy and his grandfather was a good doctor, so he is still alive and well.
Everyone said that there was something wrong with the fertility medicine.
Because those who took the medicine and gave birth to children all had some problems with their children.
Many people had already gone to the pharmacy to cause trouble. When Tian Bajiao saw Shuang Gui's appearance that day, he thought the matter had been resolved. However, one day later, the shop was suddenly empty and the old doctor and his family had moved away.
Lady Wang had been talking about this when she brought her two daughters to visit: "They've ripped off so many people. There are so many sick people waiting for them to pay them back, and yet they just walked away. Those people are all dumbfounded. Oh, and by the way, we have to tell them over there. If they can't find Shuang Gui and the others, they might come looking for He Xiang."
After all, Hexiang was Shuanggui's daughter and the old doctor's granddaughter.
When people are really desperate, they lose their minds.
Tian Bajiao said, "There are so many people with the surname Zhou, they are not easy to bully. Besides, Hexiang has been adopted. If you really want to cause trouble, you should pick on the weak ones. Doesn't Hexiang have a sister in town?"
"Let's stop talking about her. I heard her sister ran away. I don't know how she did it. They say she dug a huge hole in the cellar, and when the family went out, she broke the chain and ran away through the hole and tunnel. The family had been away for a long time, so they didn't take it seriously, so she caught the opportunity. But she ran away, not losing anything. They made some money in the past two years, so they didn't take it too seriously and married their son off." Madam Wang squeezed her eldest daughter's hand and sighed, "What a sin!"
Boss Shen held her little daughter in his arms and asked, "Which family is so cruel? Sending their daughter to be tortured by others?"
"Who knows? This time I seem to have bought it from a dealer. I don't know its background, but they say it's quite obedient and they're very satisfied with it."
Madam Wang is still well-informed.
She takes her two daughters out to chat every day, carrying them on her back or in her arms, and she never feels tired. Her husband never has a chance to do anything with them.
Sometimes Tian Bajiao could hear her husband arguing with her about whether to keep the child at home or take him out...
