Chapter 365 Plan
Ma Yinghe pondered for a moment: "I'm not sure if I'm seeing things, but to me, she looks like Xiao Taozi's mother."
"Mom, don't you know Xiao Taozi's mom?"
"When I saw her, she looked like a madman, with messy hair, no clothes to cover her body, and sallow skin. I thought she looked like her, but she also looked different. So I was too sure that she was quite different from before."
"You didn't see me later?"
Ma Yinghe nodded and said, "I wanted to catch up with her that day, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Wen Zhenyi took note of this matter and went to Biaozi for help the next day.
Biaozi smiled when he saw her coming: "How come you have time to come here today?"
"I came to ask you for help." Wen Zhenyi said and sat down opposite him.
Biaozi poured her a cup of tea: "What's the matter?"
"I want you to help me find someone."
"who?"
"Little Peach's mother."
Biaozi looked up at her and said, "Didn't she run away a long time ago?"
"I didn't think much of it at first, but my mom said she saw her yesterday, so I'm a little worried."
"Where did you see it?"
Wen Zhenyi told Biaozi what had happened again.
Biaozi frowned slightly: "It seems that she is not doing well. Should we bring her back if we find her?"
"No, I just want to know where she is now and whether it will have any impact on Xiao Taozi."
"Okay, I'll have someone go and find out. I'll tell you when I have any news."
"How is Wanru doing recently?"
"Life is rich and sons are filial."
Wen Zhenyi smiled slightly: "Okay."
"Shi Xuan hasn't come back to see me for a while."
"He's busy teaching the kids pharmacology and has to go to the mountains to collect herbs."
"Will it be dangerous for him to go into the mountains alone?"
"In addition to teaching medicine, he also takes other courses, especially Uncle Jiang's hunting class. He studies it more seriously than anyone else. I heard that he is also very good at archery."
"That's good, that's good."
"Uncle Biaozi, are you really not planning to get married?"
"At my age, why should I get married? I'm fine being alone."
"I think you are raising Shixuan as your son."
"If he is willing, I would be happy to do so." Biaozi laughed.
"How's the drama going?"
Biaozi felt helpless when she said this: "You came up with the idea, but you never went to see it once."
"I saw a play in a teahouse in the county town a few days ago. It happened to be the story of Aunt Qin's family."
"No wonder you suddenly asked about Wanru."
Wen Zhenyi picked up the teacup and took a sip of water: "I just hope everything will be fine for her in the future."
"Let me tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Wen Zhenyi put down the teacup and looked at him.
"That child wasn't Uncle Qin's. He couldn't have children, but he blamed everything on his dead wife, beating and scolding her. Later, the child's mother couldn't stand the humiliation and went to have sex with a sick man."
"Sickly?"
"He's not a sickly person, he's just too weak to live much longer. There's no love between the two of them, they just take what they need."
"Where's that man?"
"Aunt Qin died when she was four months pregnant."
Wen Zhenyi sighed deeply, not knowing how to comment on this matter: "Does this child know?"
"I don't know about that, but Wanru knows."
Wen Zhenyi chatted with him for a while. Biaozi also encountered some problems in the field of drama and cargo transportation, and she also gave some of her own suggestions.
After coming out of the gambling street, she turned and went to the shop. Xiao Taozi is no longer the timid girl she was at the beginning. She is now confident and good-looking.
Many diners in the store would secretly look at her, but no one dared to do anything out of line.
The unmarried men and women in her shop are all good-looking, so men, women, young and old all like to take a few more glances at them.
They were not used to it at first, but now they are used to it.
Wen Zhenyi entered the shop from the backyard and saw Zhu Tao busy in the kitchen. Now he didn't need to teach her too many things. She could do it well as long as he told her.
Zhu Tao came out of the kitchen carrying something and saw Wen Zhenyi sitting in the backyard: "Yiyi, why didn't you tell me you were here?"
"Since you guys are busy, I'll just find a place to cool off."
"Wait for me, I'll be back after I've delivered the things." Zhu Tao said and walked to the front hall with the plate.
Qin Xing and the others saw her, bowed to her, and then continued to work on their tasks.
Zhu Tao came out of the hall and sat down next to her: "Have you had breakfast?"
“I’ve eaten. It’s rarely my turn to make breakfast now, but I have to go back early today. Grandpa Shen is treating us to a meal.”
“By the way, I haven’t congratulated Grandpa Shen yet.”
"You all know everything?"
"I see. There's a notice posted at the town government office. I also told you that the store will be closed this afternoon and you should go back to the village."
"Okay, you guys can go back after we finish cleaning up."
"Are you joining us?"
"I have to go to the market to buy some food, otherwise I won't have anything to eat this afternoon."
"Would you like me to go with you?"
"No, the store can't do without you right now."
"Qin Xing and Aunt Ji are both very capable. They can do a good job without me."
"Yeah?"
"Um."
Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and looked at her: "Xiao Taozi, what are your plans for the future?"
"Plan?" Zhu Tao was stunned by the question.
"Um."
"I will help you manage the store and take good care of Uncle Lin. If you have children in the future, I will let them learn to read and write. I don't do this for the sake of passing the imperial examinations. I just hope that they can distinguish right from wrong like you." Zhu Tao's face was filled with longing for the future.
"Anything else?"
“Not at the moment.”
"Xiao Taozi, do you miss your mother?"
The smile on Zhu Tao's face disappeared instantly, replaced by an expression of indifference: "Why are you talking about her for no reason? In my heart, she has already died."
"Okay, enough talking, I'm going to go buy groceries."
"Okay, we'll be back early to help."
Wen Zhen stood up and left the shop. She had originally thought that if Zhu Tao still had feelings for her mother, she would bring her back, after all, she was about to get married.
But judging from Zhu Tao's appearance, I'm afraid she hopes not to see her again in her life. In that case, let's just pretend that we have never seen each other.
When she went to the market, Wen Chengwen and Ma Yinghe were still setting up stalls: "Dad and Mom."
"Are you here to buy groceries?"
"Yes." He looked at the pork sold at his stall and saw that there was not much left.
They are the only family selling pork in the town now, so there is basically no leftover.
Ma Yinghe wiped the oil stains off her hands and said, "I'll go with you. We can go home together later."
Wen Zhen nodded, and the two of them began to raid the market.
The people who came to the stall knew that they were going to have a banquet today, so they sold their food to them at a discount.
