Chapter 120: Scare Boss Zhao
It was past six o'clock when we reached the town. It was not early. On the way, Mei Xue told them that the snake was not for sale in the town, but she would take it to the county town to sell.
After hearing this, the three of them didn't say much. When they arrived in the town, they sent their sister-in-law and third grandmother to the station, and then they ran to the school.
I dare not delay any longer, otherwise I will be punished by standing.
But the early bus doesn't arrive that early, so the two have to wait here for a while. Fortunately, Mei Xue and Grandma He are well prepared and won't be bored to the point of falling asleep.
After seven o'clock, the people at the station went to work. Mei Xue carried her own load and pulled her grandmother to the back end, where she stacked the baskets and directly selected a seat.
When the ticket seller saw this, he frowned, and Grandma He immediately stepped forward to explain.
"There are snakes everywhere in here, and we don't dare to scare others. But don't worry, it's all sealed off. Look, we've reserved a seat. Let's buy the ticket."
Maybe because people from the city feel inferior to each other, Grandma He doesn't speak in a domineering manner as she does in the village.
Mei Xue was a little unhappy, "Here you go." She took out five dollars and told her to take as much as she wanted.
After hearing what the old lady said, the ticket seller smiled and said, "You don't have to do that. There is a luggage compartment downstairs. If you are at ease, you can put your luggage in there. It won't take long to get to the county town."
Hearing this, Mei Xue's expression improved a little, "Thank you." She was not an ungrateful person.
"Thank you so much, let's release it. Let's release it."
So Mei Xue took the basket out of the car and put it in the luggage compartment.
It didn't take long before the bus started moving and was full of people.
Some are going to sell goods, some may be going to visit relatives, and there are many different types of people.
The car quickly arrived at the county town. Mei Xue and Grandma He did not delay and went straight to Boss Zhao's restaurant with their loads on their shoulders. They should have been open by now.
Sure enough, when I arrived, I saw Boss Zhao sweeping the floor there.
"Oh, you have to do this job by yourself." Grandma He immediately started joking when she saw her acquaintance.
Hearing the voice, Boss Zhao was also happy: "Aunt Xiaoxue, why did you come to the county town?" It had been raining for the past two days, and there was a lot of water on the ground.
"Quick, come into the house."
"Haha, we are here to give you something good. If we didn't have a good relationship with you, I wouldn't be going out in this rainy season."
Upon hearing about the good stuff, Boss Zhao was even happier, "Then I have to thank my aunt very much."
Boss Zhao is so greasy that he makes people sick.
At this time, the curtain behind the counter was lifted, and a woman with outstanding temperament walked out.
"Old Zhao, who's here?" The door was opened a little late these two days. Just after I finished cleaning up the inside, I heard a noise outside. Qian Wenyu planned to come out to take a look.
"Wenyu, come here quickly. My Aunt He is here. Don’t you want to meet Aunt He? Come, let me introduce her to you." Boss Zhao was so happy.
The person who came out was none other than his wife, Qian Wenyu.
Aunt He has never had any dealings with Qian Wenyu, but she also knows that women in general are not easy to approach, but they still have some skills.
"Haha, it's not worthy for the boss lady to get to know me. It's time for me to get to know the boss lady." Grandma He stood up.
But she was really wrong. Qian Wenyu had been following her father around the streets since she was a child. She could tell from people's faces that she dared to say she was second, and few people would admit that they were first.
"Aunt He, please don't make fun of me. My family is relying on your food, so I have to try my best to curry favor with you." Qian Wenyu is a generous person.
Hearing this, Grandma He smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Honesty is the key to doing business. As a country wife, I know the importance of honesty." Grandma He was not afraid.
Mei Xue curled the corners of her mouth and applauded her grandma in her heart.
"What Aunt He said makes sense. Honesty is the key to doing business. But people like you, Aunt He, are rare. You always think of us when you have good things. I really want to thank you here." Qian Wenyu said.
Grandma He was also pleased by these words, "You're welcome."
After chatting and laughing for a while, Boss Zhao finally asked, "Aunt He, what good things did you and Xiaoxue bring me this time?" He had actually been anxious for quite some time.
If he hadn't been afraid to interrupt his wife, he would have asked long ago.
"You have to see this thing yourself." Grandma He was in a playful mood. She glanced at Xiaoxue and said, "Bring it here and let your Uncle Zhao take a good look at it."
Mei Xue was speechless, and said, "Yeah." But she still obediently put the basket in front of Boss Zhao, "Do you want me to open it?"
Boss Zhao saw that there were bags in the basket and thought it must be game from the mountain. There were so many of them and they were still moving, so they must be pheasants. He was delighted.
"I'll do it. I'll do it."
Mei Xue knew it.
Get out of the way and leave it to Boss Zhao.
When Boss Zhao opened the first bag, Grandma He obviously leaned back.
Qian Wenyu, who had been observing Grandma He, frowned, but she didn't say much. It was obvious that Aunt He was also a person with a bad temper.
"ah···"
Sure enough, as soon as Boss Zhao opened the snakeskin bag, a snake stuck its head out and almost kissed Boss Zhao.
Seeing that the snake almost escaped, Mei Xue immediately stepped forward and grabbed the snake in her hand, "Fortunately it didn't run away." She tied the bag again in a few seconds.
"Uncle Zhao, are you okay?"
Boss Zhao was helped up by his wife, "Oh my god, I'm so scared, my dear aunt." He wiped the sweat off his head, "Aunt."
"Oh, didn't you serve in the army? Are you afraid of snakes?" Grandma He laughed at her. "You're not even as good as Xiaoxue, huh."
Well, she just wanted to see Boss Zhao make a fool of himself, and she did it on purpose.
Qian Wenyu also laughed at this time, "That's right, we ate snakes for so many years, and now you are afraid of it."
Boss Zhao, who was disliked by his aunt and wife, became autistic.
How could it be the same? At least he was prepared then, unlike now, where she appeared right in front of him and almost kissed him.
Besides, he has retired for a long time, and he has already returned half of his skills to the army. Now he is just a normal civilian.
No matter how many grievances I feel in my heart, I have no one to vent to. It's really hard to express my suffering.
"Uncle Zhao, are you going to keep this snake?" This is the question that Mei Xue is most concerned about.
"Take it, take it, take it." When Boss Zhao heard this, he instinctively shouted, "This is a good thing. Xiaoxue, are there any poisonous snakes?"
Mei Xue shook her head: "No." If I had known...
"Okay, Uncle Zhao wants all these snakes. I need to vent my anger. They scared me." He had a fierce look on his face.
He couldn't bear the shame of it, he had to get his face back.
"How dare you blame the snake." Grandma He rolled her eyes at him.
