Chapter 43 Helping her press down on her chest
Butcher's pork shop.
The incident of Boss Tu shortchanging customers was exposed before, and now it's happened again.
After the incident was exposed, very few people came to buy the meat. Later, his daughter salvaged the reputation by frequently offering discounts and always giving more meat to the neighbors.
Therefore, business only thrives when Tu Miaoling is around.
Their pigs are well-raised and have good meat quality. Even though business is slow when Butcher is at his stall, some people who don't know him will still buy from him.
Tu Miaoling must have been absent that day, which is why they started arguing.
Boss Tu is greedy and always likes to take advantage of others. He has also argued with others. If this is the motive for murder, it doesn't seem very convincing.
Tao Tao stood in front of the pork stall, looking at the burly man who looked like a pregnant woman.
He slammed the machete down on the cutting board with a bang, and roared menacingly, "What are you looking at?! How long have you been standing here? Are you going to buy it or not? If not, get out!"
Could someone with such a fiery temper possess such meticulous methods of murder?
Besides, with his size, it would be hard for him not to be spotted even at night.
"Dad, why are you being so fierce!"
A tall woman emerged from inside, at least 1.7 meters tall. She was probably more robust than the average woman, likely due to her frequent cutting of meat and chopping of bones.
Tu Miaoling smiled kindly and gently: "Young lady, what kind of meat would you like to buy?"
"Do you want stir-fried dishes or soup?"
She pushed her father aside and took the machete from his hand.
"I would like to ask if Madam Liu came to your shop to buy meat three days ago."
"Lady Liu?"
She thought for a moment: "I didn't see her three days ago. What happened? What's wrong?"
"That Lady Liu died in Wangyang Lake. You didn't come here because you think I killed her, did you?"
Boss Tu stared intently at her and spoke directly, without beating around the bush at all.
"Boss Tu, please don't get agitated. I was just asking casually."
As soon as Miao Ling heard this, she knew that her father had gotten into another argument. She took a deep breath impatiently and said, "Dad, can't you control your temper a little?"
"We're here to do business! Not to argue with people!"
After being scolded, Boss Tu looked up at the sky and the ground, glancing left and right, but dared not look his daughter in the eye.
He scratched his head: "Alright, alright, I know! But this has nothing to do with me!"
“I was just saying a few words casually, how could that be considered an argument?”
Upon hearing this, Tao Tao hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What did you say? What were you saying? Can you tell me in detail?"
"I'll buy three pounds of pork ribs."
Originally, I didn't want to say it, but when Boss Tu heard it was three catties of pork ribs, he was naturally happy to tell me, since it didn't matter anyway.
"That's how it was..."
Liu Niangzi's face was not very good. When she walked to the pork shop, she saw that it was Butcher Tu. She was even more upset. She often came to pick up her pork, but she only did business with Tu Miaoling.
She clearly knew he was capable of tampering with things; although he had been criticized before, it was hard to guarantee he wouldn't do it this time.
"Where is Tu Miaoling? I don't want you to sell her, I want Tu Miaoling to come out."
Upon hearing this, Boss Tu paused in his cutting of meat, looked up at her irritably, and said, "You old woman, why are you making such a fuss?! Buy it or don't, if you don't want to, get lost!"
Liu Niangzi got angry. She was a regular customer of theirs, and they immediately started arguing because of how she was being spoken to.
"In the end, she threw the meat at me, and I haven't even settled accounts with her or paid her compensation yet!"
"I'm so indignant," Boss Tu said.
Upon hearing this, Tu Miaoling rolled her eyes, put one hand on her hip, and scolded, "Dad, how can you talk like that! If you keep talking like this, who will buy meat from our family in the future? You've really gone too far."
"I didn't say anything! Besides, I'm your father! How dare you lecture your own father like that?"
Upon hearing this, she slammed the knife in her right hand onto the cutting board and shouted angrily, "If you weren't my father, I wouldn't care about you! You drink every day! You've made our family poor!"
Tao Tao was stunned, thinking that the father and daughter really had the same temperament.
Boss Tu said that Madam Liu was in a bad mood at the time. Could it be that she was in a bad mood because she discovered Liu Rong's affair and was so angry that she confronted him and got into an argument?
So Liu Rong killed her and dumped her body in the river?
But thinking about it this way, wasn't Lady Liu the one who most wanted Liu Rong to take a concubine? She hoped that the concubine would give birth to a son for the Liu family so that the family line could continue.
In that case, she shouldn't be angry; she should be happy instead.
The child is already so big, at least four or five years old. Madam Liu should be even happier, right?
Why is this situation getting stranger and stranger?
"Sister Miaoling, Madam Liu specifically asked to do business with you, so do you two often chat about everyday things?"
Without hesitation, Tu Miaoling smiled and said, "There really is."
She frowned, somewhat disgusted: "After hearing what she said, I don't want to get married anymore."
ha?
What outrageous thing did Madam Liu say to make this unmarried young woman so disgusted?
What is it?
Looking at Tao Tao's innocent and naive face, Tu Miaoling blushed suddenly and looked around as if to make sure there was no one else nearby.
Turning her head, she saw her father also curiously crowding around. She rolled her eyes and said, "What's so interesting about that? It's all girly stuff. You old man, don't come over here."
Suddenly she waved her hand, feigning impatience, but actually she was incredibly embarrassed.
"Never mind, Father, you should keep an eye on the shop. I have something to discuss with Miss Tao."
As she spoke, Tu Miaoling took off her apron and pulled Tao Tao outside.
Where are we going?
Tao Tao was pulled along by her, following closely behind.
Tu Miaoling winked at her playfully: "There's a place, I wonder if you dare to go?"
She asked with a hint of amusement, "Where? I've been to the mortuary and dungeons, is there any place I wouldn't dare to go?"
"Let's change our clothes first."
"Come on, come home with me."
Upon arriving at the Tu family's residence, Tao Tao looked at the blue-gray men's robe in her hand.
She changed her clothes in front of her without any hesitation. Tu Miaoling was wearing a light green robe, a departure from her usual women's clothing.
She was wrapping a long strip of cloth tightly around her full breasts.
"Wait, where are we going? Why do we need to change into men's robes?"
"I'll take you out to play, if you're not afraid."
Tu Miaoling gritted her teeth and desperately tried to pull the cloth tighter around her chest. She couldn't get it any tighter, so she quickly turned around and asked for help.
"Come help me quickly and even things out, otherwise people will find out right away."
"Don't be shy..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tao Tao came over and grabbed her, pressing down on her breasts with one hand and pulling at the cloth with the other.
He wasn't shy at all, and he didn't seem awkward at all like someone would be touched on a woman's private parts.
All the young women she used to associate with were incredibly shy and didn't dare to go with her. Now that they're all married, she still doesn't have a single young woman she can confide in.
