Chapter 146: Winning over
When Song Ruize saw Qin Huiyin getting on the ox cart and leaving, he turned his horse around and drove back.
In fact, he didn't plan to go back to the city today. Jiang Qingnan, Jiang Qibin and Zhou Jinyuan were watching over the dam, so it was okay to leave for two days. He came back this time just to deal with Zhang Erzhu's matter.
Song Ruize drove the carriage back to the town. A big guy was squatting at the town gate. When he saw him, he immediately stood up and waved. There were a few other people beside him, each with a sharp face and monkey cheeks, each with his own characteristics.
"Boss, we have already done what you arranged." Chen Yong said, "That Zhang Lei is really useless. He couldn't resist the temptation and lost a hundred taels of silver overnight."
Song Ruize said calmly: "Where are the others?"
"The brothers locked him in a dark room and left him freezing all night. I'm afraid he's scared to death now. By the way, boss, these are the brothers who are here to help."
"Hello, boss's boss."
Chen Yong was also a well-known figure before he built the dam. However, he did not bully the poor or the honest people, but only liked to fight violence with violence. These minions were the younger brothers who were subdued by him at that time.
Song Ruize took out two taels of silver and said, "Perform the whole play and sing the remaining half!"
"Okay, big boss."
"What kind of nonsense are these names?" Chen Yong said unhappily, "From now on, this one is the boss, and I am your big brother."
"Boss, big brother..."
"If your brothers are ready, take them to the county town and arrange some things for them to do," said Song Ruize.
"Did you hear that? The boss wants to train you." Chen Yong kicked the monkey next to him.
Several minions thanked him excitedly.
When Li Taohua brought the wrong item to the customer for the third time, Qin Huiyin noticed that something was wrong with her. She took over Li Taohua's job and looked at her worriedly: "Mom, did you not get enough rest?"
Or is it that her migraine is really severe, but she just keeps it to herself?
Li Taohua moved closer to Qin Huiyin and lowered her voice and said, "I saw Li Erniu and Tang Baoyu jumping off Uncle San's ox cart. They should be going into the city to look for Tang Jizu."
Qin Huiyin felt relieved after hearing her say this.
"Mom wants to watch a play?"
"Yeah, don't you want to know what's going on over there?"
"Mom, you sent someone to spread those rumors in the village, right?"
Li Taohua felt guilty: "Is it so obvious?"
"Tang Jizu works in the county. Apart from the people who build the dam, we are the only ones who often go to the city. Those who build the dam have no chance to return to the village, so only our family can go back."
"I'll tell you..." Li Taohua was about to tell Qin Huiyin the news she had found out, but when she saw the long queue of customers in front of her, she could only busy herself with the work in her hands. "I'll tell you later. Let's make money first."
After the morning rush hour was over and there were no more customers queuing, Li Taohua asked Tang Luwu and her brother to look after the stall first. She pulled Qin Huiyin aside and talked mysteriously about Tang Jizu.
Tang Luwu sent the guests away and came over to listen.
Tang Yi smiled and pricked up his ears, listening carefully to what Li Taohua said.
"Last time you said you were going to the toilet, it turns out you were going to do something important." Qin Huiyin was surprised, "You don't have to hide it from me, I won't stop you."
"I don't know what information I can get, I just want to go and see. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry!" Li Taohua felt guilty, "Who would have thought that I could really get useful information?"
"Although we have no evidence, the last incident was most likely done by this Tang Jizu. Mother's tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife is really a brilliant idea. She is worthy of being my mother. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also smart." Qin Huiyin praised.
"I knew my daughter would support me." Li Taohua was proud.
"Of course I support it. Under the premise of ensuring safety, we can let our enemies dig their own graves. This will not only save us from dirtying our hands, but also save us a lot of effort. I need to learn this idea."
Li Taohua touched Qin Huiyin's hair, her eyes full of love for her.
——How could you be so cruel? My mother was sick and she just asked you to give her some medicine, but you poisoned her?
——How could I be born into a lowly life like yours? I really want to exchange this dirty blood for nothing to do with you!
Li Taohua grabbed the corner of the table next to her and sat down on the chair weakly. At this moment, bitter self-mockery flashed in her eyes, but when Qin Huiyin looked over, her mood immediately changed, and there was only tenderness and kindness in her eyes.
"Mom, you don't look well. Is your migraine very severe?" Qin Huiyin looked at her worriedly and touched her forehead.
"Yinyin, you will always stay with your mother, right?" Li Taohua grabbed Qin Huiyin's hand and looked at her expectantly.
"Of course, mother." Qin Huiyin said matter-of-factly. "No matter where I am in the future, you must be with me. You are my most important relative. Without you, I have no home."
"Yinyin, come over and help, there's a long queue again." Tang Luwu shouted.
"I'm here." Qin Huiyin responded, lowered her head and said to Li Taohua, "Mom, you take a rest here for a while, don't get too tired. There are a few of us here, we can handle it."
Li Taohua looked at the busy Qin Huiyin. The sun shone on her, and her smile was as bright and beautiful as a blooming flower. She really looked like that person, the gentleman who was always gentle and elegant.
All the ingredients were sold out, and it was time to deliver the food to Tang Yichen. Today, Qin Huiyin asked Mr. Tang San to take Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao to deliver something to Tang Yichen, and she and Li Taohua wanted to join in the fun.
Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao also wanted to join in the fun, but they wanted to see Tang Yichen more, so they followed Mr. Tang San first.
At the gate of Xiazhuang, Tang Jizu followed behind the housekeeper, echoing his words like a pug.
At this time, a little maid ran over in a hurry and said to the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, my wife and young master were beaten."
"What?" The housekeeper was shocked. "Who did it?"
He suddenly remembered that this was the entrance to Xiazhuang, and quickly lowered his voice and asked, "Are the Madam and the Young Master okay?"
After the housekeeper finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Tang Jizu with a fierce look in his eyes: "How do you do things?"
Tang Jizu said quickly: "When I left home this morning, the two masters were still fine!"
"The people who beat the lady and the master are your old woman in the countryside and your son who is as fat as a pig." The little maid complained angrily.
"Tang Jizu, do you still want to do this?" The housekeeper was shocked and kicked him angrily. "If anything goes wrong between the Madam and the young master, I will let you know the rules of the Xia family."
"I don't know how they got into the city. I will make them apologize right away." After saying this, Tang Jizu quickly ran towards the quiet and secluded courtyard of 'The Golden House Hidden Beauty'.
