Chapter 198 Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
Xue Yinyin: "Sister Zhiyi, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my aunt to come here to make trouble. She asked me for this shop a few days ago, but I didn't agree to give it to her."
"In fact, before she got married, my grandfather gave her three shops as a dowry. If she had managed the business well, she would have lived a good life. But my uncle got addicted to gambling after marriage and lost all his family fortune!"
"My aunt actually gave her dowry shop to my uncle to go to the casino to make a profit. Needless to say, she lost everything in the end! She has been relying on my grandparents and father to support her over the years."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but said, "Let me make it clear first, if she comes to make trouble again next time, I won't show mercy just because she is your aunt."
"Sister Zhiyi, you don't have to worry about me. Actually, since the last temple fair at Fayun Temple, although I don't have clear evidence, I know that the matter is related to my aunt."
"I wanted to tell my family, but I thought about how much my grandfather doted on me as his aunt, so I could only apologize verbally, and there was not enough evidence."
"Well, didn't my grandfather think that my grandmother was kidnapped by a business competitor? I heard that my grandmother was pregnant with my aunt and was about to give birth. When my grandfather found her, my grandmother gave birth to my aunt alone in a small cave in the mountains."
"My grandfather said that my aunt was very small at the time, like a mouse, so my grandparents felt very guilty, thinking that my aunt had suffered since she was born!"
Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but imagine after hearing this. According to Xue Yinyin's description, her aunt was born outside on the mountain? And the original owner's father was born at the foot of the mountain. One on the mountain and the other at the foot of the mountain, if the location is the same, would it be possible...
"Sister Xue, what happened in the end? Did your grandfather punish the person who kidnapped your grandmother?"
"Alas, no, he has someone protecting him in the government, so my grandfather had no choice but to move his family to Nanzhou City."
Xu Zhiyi asked casually, "Where is Sister Xue's hometown? I also just escaped from famine last month. My hometown is Pingxiang Town, Rong'an County."
When Xue Yinyin heard Xu Zhiyi's words, she excitedly grabbed her hand and said, "Ah! What a coincidence! We are from the same hometown."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but complain in her heart, what a coincidence, everything was just too coincidental, could it really be as bloody as she imagined?
"Sister Zhiyi, no wonder I feel so close to you, it turns out we are from the same hometown!"
He chatted with Xue Yinyin for another quarter of an hour before leaving. By this time, Xu Zhiyi had basically gotten all the information he wanted to know. On the surface, they were just unimportant things, so Xue Yinyin didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Before leaving the shop, he looked at the craftsmen who were busy inside and outside, and suddenly thought of a way to prevent Xue Yinyin's aunt from coming to cause trouble.
"Wuyou, drive the mule cart around the street and look for someone"
Shen Wuyou heard this, although he was a little curious, but he didn't ask, and drove the mule cart slowly on the street.
It wasn’t until after walking around that Shen Changan also became curious and couldn’t help asking, “Madam, who are we looking for?”
Xu Zhiyi stood outside the carriage, looking at the crowd. He didn't see the person he was looking for, but he saw Constable Yu: "Wuyou, stop by the constable in front."
When the two brothers heard this, they couldn't help but think, is the lady planning to sue Xue Yinyin's aunt?
"Constable Yu, what a coincidence!"
Constable Yu, who was walking on the road and chewing a steamed bun, heard the voice, looked up and saw that it was Xu Zhiyi, and asked politely, "Miss, what's the matter?"
Xu Zhiyi: "I just want to ask you something small."
Yu: "Girl, ask"
"Where does Master Inu live? I have something to discuss with him."
Upon hearing this, Constable Yu was a little stunned. Looking for Master Quan? What for that bully?
"Constable Yu, do you know where he lives?"
"It's the fifth house in Lane 7, West Street."
After saying this, he suddenly realized that as a constable, how could he be so familiar with the address of a bully, especially since this bully had not been caught by him once.
"Ahem... I'm not sure either. I heard someone say this is the address."
After getting the answer he wanted to know, Xu Zhiyi didn't bother to care about Constable Yu's reaction. He said goodbye in a hurry and went to the address.
When we arrived at the place Constable Yu mentioned, we looked at the shaky courtyard door and after thinking for a while, we decided to knock a few times out of courtesy!
As a result, Xu Zhiyi just stretched out his hand to touch the door, and the door fell down with a bang! Xu Zhiyi looked at the door that fell to the ground, helplessly holding his forehead. It seems that this door is of little use whether it is there or not?
The dog master who was sleeping soundly in the room was suddenly awakened by a loud bang. He sat up angrily and yelled, "Who is it? You dare to come to my territory to disturb me. Do you think you have a long life?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi shouted, "Big Dog, come out here!!"
Just as he was about to roar a few more times, he suddenly felt that the voice was a little familiar, and reluctantly he picked up his cotton coat and put it on.
"Who is so blind as to disturb me at this time..."
Xu Zhiyi looked at the dog master who came out with squinted eyes: "Who are you saying has no eyes?"
Hearing this, the Dog Master opened one eye. When he saw that it was Xu Zhiyi, his eyes widened in shock. He rubbed his eyes several times. When he saw that it was really Xu Zhiyi, he immediately became timid:
"Oh, auntie, I just dreamed about you. I didn't expect it was you who came here. What do we call this? It's called the heart has... spirit..."
Feeling the oppressive gaze of Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou, he was so scared that his voice gradually became lower and lower until the last few words could not be heard at all!
Xu Zhiyi didn't bother to waste time talking and stated his purpose directly: "I came here to ask for your help. I rented a shop in town, but someone came to make trouble. I want you to help me keep an eye on the shop."
"Don't worry, it's not for nothing. You will be paid every day, just like the workers in the town."
Master Dog: "Hey, Boss, don't worry, with me here, who would dare to come? Hey, Master Dog, I don't believe there is anyone who is not afraid of death."
Xu Zhiyi took out twenty copper coins from his purse and handed them over: "Today's wages will be paid every seven days. You don't have to stay there all the time, but you must patrol at least once every half an hour."
When Quan Ye looked at the copper coins handed over by Xu Zhiyi, he really wanted to take them, but he was afraid that this was a test from Xu Zhiyi. So, should he take these copper coins or not?
Xu Zhiyi looked at his eyes, which seemed to be about to fall into the copper coin in his hand, but he restrained himself from taking it. He said with a straight face, "Are you deliberately trying to make me stretch my hand out so that I will die of exhaustion?"
Inuye: "Ah? No, no, no, I definitely don't think so."
After seeing him take the copper coins, he gave the address of the shop before leaving and going home.
