Chapter 73 Teaching Xuguo to Read
"This was also found in Dong Qi's home." As she spoke, Xuguo handed over a packet of white medicine foam.
Hu Chong put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. He didn't think anything was unusual and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"My Lord, this is the rat poison that Xie Ziqi used to commit suicide."
"What!" Hu Chong was startled and quickly scattered the rat poison. He looked at Xu Guo with an evil look: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Xuguo frowned and changed the subject: "Sir, can you convict him now?"
"Ahem." Hu Chong raised his collar and said, "The criminal Dong Qi likes gambling and has no remorse. He also maliciously killed his own daughter and humiliated his own wife, beating her with sticks. This is really intolerable. I sentence Dong Qi to 20 strokes of the cane and three years of imprisonment."
"No, no." Seeing Hu Chong about to leave, Dong Qi stepped forward crying, "Master, you can't do this. Please, let me go."
"roll."
Looking at the approaching man, Hu Chong kicked him over and took a step back in disgust: "What? Add another two years."
Then he turned and left.
Xu Miaomiao and Xu Guo saw this and smiled at each other.
The matter was finally resolved. Xu Miaomiao drove the ox cart and went home with Xuguo, but she always felt that a sentence of only five years for someone like Dong Qi was too short. A person who could even kill his own child was really vicious. It was a pity that Xie Ziqi, such a good girl, ended up like this.
"Miao Miao, that woman really committed suicide." Gu Yuanniang said with some disbelief.
Xu Miaomiao nodded helplessly: "I didn't expect it either, but it was Xuguo who discovered it."
Hearing this, Xuguo touched his head embarrassedly. He actually didn't do anything.
Xu Miaomiao stared at the dazed Xuguo thoughtfully. This child is so talented in this area, she must cultivate him well.
"Boss, I need some books."
Xu Miaomiao immediately went to a bookstore and asked the owner for a few detective books.
Xuguo was stunned when she saw the table full of books. She asked in disbelief, "Are these all for me?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded solemnly: "If you don't understand something in the future, go ask Song Wushao."
"Xu Guo will never forget Sister Xu's kindness."
The boy suddenly stood up, knelt on the ground and said to Xu Miaomiao.
The sudden address of "sister" also scared Xu Miaomiao. How did the little girl call her before? Xu Miaomiao thought carefully but couldn't figure it out. She simply gave up thinking about it. Anyway, this was the first time she was called sister.
Lifting the boy up from his knees, Xu Miaomiao said slowly: "You have talent. If you study hard, you will definitely have a great career. I am optimistic about you."
"Um."
Xu Guo nodded and looked at Xu Miaomiao seriously: "I will definitely work hard!"
Looking at the boy's appearance, Xu Miaomiao was panicked for a moment. She wondered if Dabao was learning from Nangong Jin like the child in front of him.
"It's late at night, it's time for mother to go to bed."
Erbao yawned and pulled at Xu Miaomiao's sleeve. Xu Miaomiao came to her senses and followed Erbao back to the main house.
Seeing Song Wu Shao still washing his feet, Xu Miaomiao immediately ran over and said attentively: "Brother Wu Shao, let me help you wipe your feet."
Song Wu Shao frowned, looked at the woman with a confused look on his face, and said coldly: "No need."
"Then let me pour you some water." Xu Miaomiao said.
Unexpectedly, Song Wu Shao directly snatched the water and poured it out. Then he looked at the woman and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"
As soon as he said it, Song Wu Shao felt a little regretful. He obviously didn't mean that, so why did he become so cold after he said it.
Xu Miaomiao didn't listen carefully at this time, but just looked at Song Wushao and said softly: "I bought a few books for Xuguo, and asked him to come to you if he doesn't understand anything."
Hearing this, Song Wu Shao lowered his head and said nothing. He thought the woman wanted to ask him for something, but he didn't expect it was for someone else.
Seeing that the man hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Miaomiao thought he didn't agree, so she quickly said, "If you don't want to, I'll ask him to do the same thing, hehe."
She is the best at finding a way out for herself.
"Can."
Song Wushao opened his thin lips slightly and slowly uttered these two words. If it was Xu Miaomiao's request, he would not refuse, especially since it was such a simple matter.
"That's great." Xu Miaomiao was so excited that she almost jumped up. She glanced at Erbao who was sleeping beside her and quickly lowered her voice. If she had the guidance of the big boss, Xuguo would definitely achieve something and her own life in old age would also be guaranteed, Xu Miaomiao sighed to herself.
"Miao Miao, it's time to go."
The next day, Xu Miaomiao opened her eyes dazedly and saw Gu Yuanniang urging her to go to the department store.
Xu Miaomiao waved her hand lazily and continued to lie down: "No, no, Liu Niang, I'm very tired today, I'll take a day off."
"Miao Miao." Gu Yuanniang was unwilling to give up and pulled Xu Miaomiao to get up, but the woman refused to go back. Gu Yuanniang was puzzled. Xu Miaomiao was not a lazy person who only cared about pleasure. Why was she like this today?
In the end, because Xu Miaomiao did not get up, today's plan to go out was ruined.
"Miao Miao, don't you want to do this anymore?"
During dinner, Gu Yuanniang suddenly spoke. She had been thinking about it for a whole day, but could not find a reason why Xu Miaomiao was unwilling to go. The only possibility was that she was frightened by the previous death.
Xu Miaomiao paused as she was picking up food, and suddenly she regretted being friends with Gu Yuanniang. This woman always guessed her things accurately.
Seeing that she was exposed, Xu Miaomiao had no choice but to nod: "Yes."
"Why?" Song Weiwei asked in confusion. She thought they were doing a good job.
Xu Miaomiao sighed helplessly: "I have opened so many stores, and now someone has died. I am wondering whether I should persist. If I continue, there will definitely be worse things waiting for us. Can everyone really accept it? Can I bear the consequences of failure?"
After these words were spoken, everyone was speechless.
After a long while, Gu Yuanniang put her hand on Xu Miaomiao's to comfort her: "Miaomiao, it's normal for business to lose money again. We all agreed to open a store in the first place. I support you no matter what you decide."
"Yes, yes." Song Weiwei also responded: "Although the store is not running smoothly, I am the first female shopkeeper in the Southern Dynasty. I am satisfied with this. However, I support you in whatever ideas you have."
Xu Miaomiao looked at everyone and perked up when she heard their words. Yes, she was not the only one who owned the shop. It was already a great thing for them to open a shop in this dynasty. Why bother about so many things? It was enough to just do what she wanted to do.
"Okay, let's continue." Xu Miaomiao said solemnly: "We want to be the first woman to open a store!"
