Chapter 238
Ah Zhu learns things very quickly, but his only shortcoming is that he learns everything.
I especially like to learn the bad ones.
What's with betting that you will fall in love with me in a year? Sister smells so good, do you want to hug me? Shouldn't writing be taught by shaking hands?
Beep beep beep beep...
There were so many tricks that Tian Bajiao wanted to sew his mouth shut.
Ah Zhu didn't care. He drew two little people with faces that fit closely together on the paper.
Even if you are not allowed to speak, you can still like your sister.
Tian Bajiao asked him, "Do you know what love is?"
Ah Zhu said as a matter of course: "I know, just like Madam Wang and her husband, and Mr. Zhou Er and Madam Liu next door, they are together every day, loving and affectionate, and will never be apart."
Tian Bajiao: ...
It seems to be true.
She doesn't quite understand either.
"Then why do you like me?"
"You and I are destined to be together. You were the first woman I met on the shore. According to the story, I should be with you."
What Ah Zhu told were a few stories that he had heard by chance.
It is nothing more than a story about a beautiful clam spirit coming ashore, falling in love with a poor boy and a poor scholar, and how they live happily together.
Tian Bajiao listened for a long time, but only understood the meaning of "stupid".
"Those stories are all made up."
"No, it really is."
"Have you seen it?"
"This...anyway, it exists!"
I don’t know whether he didn’t want to say it or didn’t know, but he kept his mouth shut.
Tian Bajiao was happy and quiet, and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, she didn't believe that Ah Zhu liked her.
The scene when they first met was terrible. Besides, Tian Bajiao always treated him coldly, so how could he fall in love with her?
Speaking of this, Tian Bajiao suddenly remembered something unrelated: "How did you find this place? When you came ashore, Lame Man was already dead, right? He never brought you here, so how did you find it so accurately?"
"There's a demonic aura," Ah Zhu said. "I'm almost dying, so naturally I want to find someone to help me. Mr. Zhou Er didn't smell dangerous, so I came here. When I got there, I felt that this place seemed like the one Uncle Lame mentioned, so I thought I'd give you the incense and medicine first. Who knew you had such evil intentions and dragged me in?
Sister, you should be responsible for me."
Tian Bajiao had no such intention: "Is it too late for me to throw you to Mr. Zhou Er now?"
Ah Zhu would really cry in front of her and even go to Boss Shen to complain about her.
In the eyes of Boss Shen and the others, Tian Bajiao was not only a good sister or a good friend, but at least a good person. But since he came...
Let’s not mention it.
Tian Bajiao couldn't be provoked, but she could afford to hide and go out to buy vegetables.
The meat at Hu's Butcher Shop is still as fresh as ever.
The prices fluctuate, but there's nothing we can do about it, it's like this everywhere in town.
The weather is bad this year. Some places are flooded, and some places are suffering from severe drought. Not only will prices of things go up, but even commercial taxes will go up.
Boss Shen complained for several days, but when it came time to hand in the payment, he still had to speak in a nice and cheerful tone with a smile on his face.
This has nothing to do with Tian Bajiao, but Boss Shen cut the food expenses.
Tian Bajiao looked at a piece of pork belly reluctantly for a long time, then he struggled to turn his head away, handed over the money and said, "Give me the cheapest one."
Mrs. Li San looked at her with amusement and said, "It would be more economical to buy fish with your money."
The pearl incident is over, and everyone has started catching fish and selling them again. However, without the pearls, the fish are much cheaper. There has been a lot of rain this year, and there are a lot of fish, so they can't be sold at a high price.
Tian Bajiao knew she meant well, but still shook his head: "Who can stand eating so much? I had a dream last night that I turned into a fish."
Tian Bajiao dreamed that she was floating up and down in the water, and was squeezed among a school of fish. Finally, she was caught by an octopus. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was Ah Zhu who had lifted her from the beam to the bed and climbed on top of her.
As expected and reasonable.
Tian Bajiao thought about stewing him, but he glared and said, "I seemed to be sleepwalking just now. Sister, why are you here? Do you want to sleep with me?"
How can sleepwalking count?
Tian Bajiao just pushed him away, but he said that Tian Bajiao was hitting him, and cried so much that he almost attracted Boss Shen.
Ah Zhu would never admit that he was wrong, and Boss Shen was naturally not wrong either. After thinking about it, Tian Bajiao could only conclude that it was the fish's fault.
Maybe eating less fish would be better.
But there is no need to tell this to Madam Li San.
Tian Bajiao didn't mention Ah Zhu, but Madam Li San wanted to talk about it. Seeing that there was no one else in the store, she moved closer and asked, "Speaking of which, how are you and Ah Zhu doing? I heard from your boss that you haven't even had a wedding. This kind of thing shouldn't be saved. You have to have a wedding ceremony at least, otherwise it will be unclear..."
She may have heard some bad things, so she smiled uncomfortably and advised,
"Azhu is such a nice person, and a perfect match for you. Don't blame me for being nosy. If I were you, I'd say you should treat him better. You're both helpless, and you've been together since childhood. Shouldn't you be more united now? What exactly is it that you're dissatisfied with him about? Tell us, and we can all help you out. If you keep it bottled up, it'll just become a knot in your heart."
What kind of grudge could Tian Bajiao have? She was so angry that her tongue was tied.
It has been such a long time since she wanted to be friends with Li Sanniang, but she couldn't get into her heart. How come it worked as soon as he came? Li Sanniang even asked about this matter.
What could Tian Bajiao say about this? It was never true.
"Well, what kind of grudge could I have? I just don't want to pay my respects. Let's talk about it later."
Tian Bajiao tried to brush it off, but Mrs. Li San looked at her as if she were a complete bastard.
Even the amount of meat was not as sufficient as before.
She said with a fake smile, "Then wait until you think about it, but remember to say it, so that everyone can join in the fun."
Tian Bajiao: “Yes.”
She took the small piece of meat and went out. Before she had gone far, she heard murmurs in the butcher's shop.
It seemed like he was scolding her for being such a person.
When Tian Bajiao went to buy fruit, Mei'er's father and brother also asked a few questions out of curiosity.
Let’s talk about getting married again.
They said it more tactfully.
"We shouldn't skip the wedding ceremony. If that boy doesn't even go to Mei'er to pay his respects, and is so confused, we won't let Mei'er marry him no matter what."
"That's right. Only those who have been married are called husband and wife. It's the same for married women and husbands. Only after the wedding can their status be determined. It can also be considered as an explanation to the other party, right?"
Tian Bajiao had learned his lesson, and said with a smile while carrying the fruits: "Yes, yes."
The woman selling vegetables interrupted, "Don't just say that. When are you and Ah Zhu going to get married?"
Tian Bajiao looked at her and began to recall. After she finished recalling, she realized that she didn't even know the lady's name. She had never even bought vegetables from her. Why did she ask this?
