Chapter 392 The Blind Woman
Xu Miaomiao looked at them laughing and playing, and breathed a sigh of relief. She ignored them and turned away, returned to the house, lay on the bed, and stayed awake all night.
In the past few days, Xu Miaomiao slept very little, as if many things on her mind made it impossible for her to sleep well. As soon as she woke up, she saw Liu Quezi happily limping around the village with his crutches.
When he saw Xu Miaomiao, he smiled smugly: "Hey, isn't this Madam Xu? Why are you in such a good mood today?"
Xu Miaomiao didn't want to say a few more words to him. She just nodded at him and turned to leave. However, seeing her indifferent appearance, Liu Quezi became even more interested. He had to step forward and block in front of Xu Miaomiao, saying, "Madam Xu, you may not know that now your family is no longer within the scope of the cotton field and the pear garden. Yesterday, my old father-in-law took back your family's share. Now I am the owner of that piece of land. It's all thanks to Madam Xu. If you hadn't made such a big fuss, I wouldn't have been able to get these two pieces of land."
Xu Miaomiao listened without any emotion. She just bowed to Liu Quezi, smiled, looked at him and said, "Then congratulations in advance, Mr. Liu."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao was about to turn around and leave. Looking at Xu Miaomiao's appearance, Liu Guizi thought that she was forcing a smile, so he sneered and then started to brag about these things to others.
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she just shook her head expressionlessly. At first, she did want to give the land to Liu Guizi so that he would have less trouble. She didn't know whether she was right or wrong. Now it seems that the one who really needs help is Village Chief Wang. But now there are so many vampires bullying Village Chief Wang, she is afraid that Village Chief Wang will not have a good time. Xu Miaomiao just sighed when she thought of this. After all, she couldn't interfere too much in other people's affairs, so she turned and left.
After two days of busy work in the village, the department store has been idle for a long time.
When she went to the department store before, she encountered the shopkeeper who was bullying others by taking advantage of his power. She didn't know the man yet, so it seemed like it was time to go to the home of his clerk.
Xu Miaomiao followed the route she remembered and found the home of Yu Jie, the man she had hired before.
The location was exactly as she had imagined, but when she pushed the door open, there was no one inside.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately knocked on the door, but still no one responded.
Xu Miaomiao really thought that there was no one in the room. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard the sound of a stool being bumped, and the next moment a woman limped out with a crutch.
Xu Miaomiao saw her lifeless eyes and felt a little puzzled. When she walked in front of Xu Miaomiao, Xu Miaomiao took out her hands and waved them in front of her. Seeing this, the woman smiled slightly, looked at her and said, "Madam, don't try again. I can't see with my eyes."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao withdrew her hand somewhat awkwardly, and realized how rude her behavior was just now. She quickly apologized to the woman in front of her and said, "My lady, please don't mind. It was unintentional. I hope you don't take it to heart."
The woman shook her head and smiled tolerantly at Xu Miaomiao, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. Those people are afraid of my blindness, which is contagious, so they don't want to get close to me. You are the only one who talks to me. I just don't know why you came to our house today."
"I just wanted to ask if Yu Jie is here."
"Are you here to see my husband?"
The woman shook her head curiously when she heard this.
Xu Miaomiao did not remain silent when she heard this. She had seen Yu Jie doing things efficiently and effectively at the market before, which was why she let Yu Jie be the shopkeeper of her shop. However, she knew very little about this clerk's family background, and she didn't know that he actually had an invisible wife.
Xu Miaomiao nodded when she heard this, and suddenly realized that the other party couldn't see her, and immediately looked at her with an apologetic look and said, "Yes, I'll come find him."
"I wonder what this lady wants to talk to my husband about? You can tell me that he is out and will be back later. If it is inconvenient for you to tell me, you can go to the department store to find him."
"Department store? He is in the department store now?"
When the woman heard this, she nodded immediately and responded to Xu Miaomiao: "He helped to take care of this department store. I was not feeling well a few days ago, so I troubled his brother to take care of it for a few days. He rushed over to check on it these days. If you don't mind, you can go and take a look."
Then the woman raised her head and felt the temperature of the sun. When the dazzling sunlight flashed across her face, she slowly said, "Looking at this time, he should be in the department store. Madam, you might as well go and take a look."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she immediately nodded in response, bowed to her, and said, "I am really sorry to bother you today, thank you very much."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao immediately walked towards the department store. She did not expose the man's lies before, one reason was that except for a land deed and certificates, she really had no way to prove her identity, and there was no way to convince him. If the man made a big deal out of a small matter and reported it directly to Hu Chong, relying on Hu Chong's harsh criticism of her, he would definitely not let this matter fall on her and have any good results. That's why she thought of finding the previous shopkeeper first, but she didn't find him the last time she came. Even if she went there today, Xu Miaomiao would just take a look at how he handled this matter.
Were these two people in cahoots from the beginning to the end, or was it that Mr. Yu Jie, the husband, was unaware of this?
Xu Miaomiao thought secretly, and her steps became faster and faster. She really couldn't wait to see how this farce would end. She had indulged these people for so many days, and it was time to get to know them.
The department store was just around the corner, but the door was closed and there were not as many people coming and going as before. Although the business of the department store was not as good as before after she came back, there were still many old customers there, so it was not impossible that no one saw this scene. Xu Miaomiao was still a little curious, so she did not enter through the front door, but quietly slipped to the back door which connected to the yard. She didn't know what had happened today, but Xiao Si, who had been cleaning the yard, was not there.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as she entered, she heard crackling sounds coming from inside. Xu Miaomiao's heart tightened and her pace quickened.
