Chapter 230
On the fifth day after Boss Shen left the store, he wanted to continue eating fish, but the market only had dead fish with their stomachs gutted open and extremely expensive live fish.
I heard that many people found pearls when eating it.
Tian Bajiao also met Li Sanniang, who was also squeezing in to buy live fish.
"It's not worth it at such a high price." Tian Bajiao advised tactfully.
Mrs. Li San refused to listen: "It's a bit expensive, but if we dig out pearls, we will make a lot of money."
If we can’t dig it out, won’t we lose a lot?
She looked like a gambler. Tian Bajiao watched silently as she reached out to pick up the fish and dug it open on the spot. She was lucky enough to find two pearls.
Mrs. Li San was so excited that she bought two more fish, but this time... they only had fish hooks.
The heated mind calmed down a little.
She: “One more.”
Tian Bajiao: ...
Tian Bajiao left silently, and did not look back even when she heard cheers.
Tian Bajiao was sure that this kind of thing was not suitable for her.
Tian Bajiao went to Hu's butcher shop to report the good news, mentioning that Mrs. Li San had dug out a pearl, and bought some meat by the way. Boss Hu happily gave her half a lung.
When he wished them prosperity again, Tian Bajiao's tone became even more sincere.
When she returned, Lady Wang was arguing with her husband.
Her husband wanted to buy fish, but Lady Wang refused to allow it.
Her husband said anxiously, "I don't want to feed the children. I want to get rich and get pearls."
Lady Wang frowned and said, "You look like a pearl to me."
Tian Bajiao leaned over to listen, and it turned out that Lady Wang thought it was a scam.
If it was just a simple quarrel, her husband would naturally not win, and he would just follow her back with his head down, walking and walking... walking!
Her husband twisted his foot, shoved the child into Tian Bajiao's arms, and rushed out, saying as he ran: "I'll be back after I buy it! I'll be back even if there's nothing! If you're lying, I'll be back right away!"
There is no way not to go.
Madam Wang was so angry that she stuffed the child into Tian Bajiao's arms and chased after him.
Tian Bajiao was standing on the street in confusion, holding a fat baby in his left hand and another fat baby in his right hand, with a big basket hanging on his elbows.
After thinking for a moment, I said to them, "Stand farther away if you want to watch the fun."
The two children showed no interest in this.
He looked around, shook his head and asked, "Where's Mom? Where's Dad?"
"I went to buy fish."
"fish?"
"Yes, that's the thing you can never, ever eat."
"Can't eat?"
For some reason, these words made them both burst into tears.
Tian Bajiao found it difficult to be happy being sandwiched between them. He turned around and saw Hexiang holding a puppy and looking at them.
Tian Bajiao's eyes lit up: "Hexiang, do you want one to play with?"
She tried to send the two fat babies out. He Xiang's heart was moved for a moment, but amid the loud crying, she shook her head firmly, picked up the dog and ran away.
Don't mention how fast he ran.
Her heart moved so quickly.
Tian Bajiao didn't have time to call her and could only watch her leave.
After a long time of coaxing, the two children finally stopped crying. They also had a meal, and after they were full and satisfied, they closed their eyes and stretched out their hands to her: "I'm tired, let's go home."
Why don’t you reply when you are not sleepy?
Tian Bajiao wanted to send them back and even cried at her.
Now I remember that I am also a family-loving kid.
When Tian Bajiao handed them over to the waiter next door, Wang Niangzi and the others had not returned yet.
It was not until the evening that the couple came back happily, with their arms swinging, heads held high, and carrying more than a dozen fish, as if they didn't recognize any relatives.
No need to ask, just look and you will know.
They also have pearls.
It was a good thing and everyone wanted it. Everyone went to join in the fun, and there were no customers in the shop all day.
On the sixth day after Boss Shen left the store, everyone was in high spirits, even Tian Bajiao was tempted to buy some fish.
A roar completely broke the tranquility of Putao Town.
"Dead! Someone's dead!"
"A dead body was fished out of the river!"
There were more than a dozen corpses, intestines filled with pearls, and when they were fished out, there were still fish and shrimp biting them.
This really gave the people in Putao Town a little shock. Everyone who ate fish these days felt nauseous.
Tian Bajiao squeezed to the river bank and took a look. He saw a familiar face - a lame peddler. He was lying quite peacefully, but his eyeballs had been eaten out.
No wonder I waited and waited but no one showed up. It turns out he was dead.
Tian Bajiao asked Wang Niangzi's men to deliver a message to Boss Shen.
Let’s find a new dealer quickly. This guy probably doesn’t deal in perfume and medicine anymore. From the looks of it, he seems to have fallen in love with inverted jewelry.
All the respected people in the town came and sent people to report to the authorities. Tian Bajiao looked for a while and then went back.
She really didn't expect that this matter could be related to her.
It was late at night and the dog next door had stopped barking. Tian Bajiao was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and it was the back door.
Could it be that Boss Shen is back?
Tian Bajiao put on his clothes and went to open the door. When he got to the door, he asked, "Who is it?"
The man didn't say anything and continued to knock persistently.
Tian Bajiao felt something was wrong and asked again, "Who is it? If you don't tell me, I'll call for help!"
"No," a hoarse voice said, "I was asked to deliver the goods to your house."
"Delivery? What delivery?"
"You run a herbal medicine shop, what else can you deliver? Of course it's herbal medicine. Uncle Lame asked me to come."
"He's dead."
The man was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I know. He called me here before he died, just four days ago."
This is interesting.
Tian Bajiao said, "My boss is not here, why don't you come back tomorrow morning?"
"Then I'll wait here. Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person."
Tian Bajiao looked through the crack in the door. It was dark outside. He could see a figure sitting with his back to the door. There was a big basket next to him. He looked familiar and indeed looked like the lame man.
This person's breathing was uneven, even weak, and he didn't seem like a powerful person.
Tian Bajiao took down the bolt and said, "Come in and wait. There's a vacant room. She'll be back in a day or two at the latest."
Or two or three days.
Who knows? Tian Bajiao originally thought she would be gone for two or three days at most.
He seemed a little reluctant to come in: "I can't wait that long, the goods have been delivered, why don't you keep them first, I will come back to get the money later."
"That's not good. I can't make the decision when the boss is not here. You guys are too late this time. Let's wait until she comes back."
"I can't wait," he said, bending slightly, as if unwilling to continue pestering her, "I'll give these to you. Anyway, I delivered them."
He held onto the wall and walked toward the street, but after a few steps, he suddenly fell to the ground.
He held his stomach and groaned softly.
“It hurts so much…it’s so swollen…ugh…I can’t bear it anymore…I’m dying of suffocation…”
He was hunched over just now, so Tian Bajiao couldn't see him clearly. But now that he walked closer, he saw that his belly, which he was holding with his hands, was bulging high, like that of a woman in her sixth or seventh month of pregnancy.
Here...
Could it be pearls?
Tian Bajiao's eyes lit up.
You can sit at home and make money from the sky.
"Are you okay? Is everything okay? Are you sick? Let me help you go in and sit down."
