Chapter 27 Leaving
In the dead of winter, the north wind is biting and the cold is bone-chilling.
The Wang's pastry shop was crowded with people, who watched the fun from afar without fear of the cold.
"Well, how come there are so many soldiers standing outside Wang's Cake Shop when the New Year is approaching? Could it be that there is something wrong with the cakes and someone died after eating them?"
"Who knows? Wang Qi is always tyrannical, using old pastries as substitutes, forcing people to buy and sell things, and giving money to officials whenever something goes wrong. It's us ordinary people who suffer. Could it be that God has opened his eyes and she's finally getting her comeuppance?"
While people outside were talking about it, Wang's Pastry Shop was unusually quiet at this moment, and the waiter was silent.
The investigating officers and soldiers walked around and investigated for a while. Then they stood in front of Zhao Yu and said:
"You're the one who reported the case?"
Zhao Yu swallowed nervously and stammered:
"Yes, yes, I was the one who reported the case. My boss, she, she has been missing for more than ten days. I originally thought she went to look for Li Gua, ahem, she went to look for a friend."
"It was almost the end of the year, and it was time to check the accounts and pay the monthly salary. I went to ask her friends, but the shopkeeper was not there, and her family didn't know where she was. I suspected that something had happened, so I went to the government to report it."
After hearing this, the investigating officer frowned and asked:
"Does she have any enemies on a daily basis? Who are they?"
Zhao Yu twitched his lips and said in embarrassment:
"Yes, yes, I have made enemies with Zhou Fugui from East Street, Liu Dama from West Street, Zhang Mao from Hedong Village, Chen Xiu from Liuyue Village..., officers, I have confessed everything."
The officer frowned, with a hint of anger on his face:
"Don't bother talking about trivial matters. Just talk about the main points that can make people want to kill you."
Zhao Yu nodded hurriedly, and then he started a long speech, saying that he had forcibly kidnapped the young husband of the Zhou family, hired someone to break Liu Dama's legs, beat Zhang's father to death, and forced the virgin Chen Xiu.
In short, the officer was stunned. He couldn't believe that such a scum could survive until a dozen days ago.
Oh no, it's missing.
The police asked people to write down the confessions and put them on file to facilitate investigation later.
As she was about to leave, Zhao Yu had an idea:
"Officer, there is another thing. The shopkeeper is jealous of the business of Xiangsufang on West Street. Does this count?"
The officer turned around and looked at Zhao Yu speechlessly:
"No, you said it yourself, she is jealous of others. I have also been to Xiangsufang. There are only a few weak men in there. What can they do?"
Zhao Yu nodded blankly: "Oh, oh."
A group of officers and soldiers went back to the government office to investigate the case.
Su family, hall.
"Alas, as soon as the holiday came, my parents wrote to me, urging me to take my brother back to Tongcheng to celebrate the New Year. I didn't even have time to stay in Qinghe Town for a few days, hum!"
Early in the morning, Meng Yunqiao brought his brother to the Su family to say goodbye to Su Yuan, and also complained about their mother and father.
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Didn't you say that you must pass the exam to become a Tongsheng student at the beginning of the year? Why are you still thinking about playing?"
Meng Yunqiao lowered his eyebrows and sighed:
"Indeed, it's the same everywhere."
After that, she seemed to think of something and gossiped:
"When I came here just now, I heard people outside talking about the disappearance of the owner of Wang's Pastry Shop. They said that she had done too many bad things and was punished by God, so she disappeared alive and dead."
"Do you believe this? I don't believe it. I think he was killed by an enemy in secret, and then the murderer hid the body. Hehe."
Su Yuan curled his lips slightly and snorted:
"Who knows? Maybe."
After saying that, she calmly took Nan Chu's hand, which was clenched under his wide sleeves, and squeezed it, signaling him not to be afraid.
After Nan Chu noticed it, she slowly glanced at Su Yuan's profile with a watery gaze, pursed her pink lips slightly, and raised the corners of her mouth.
He is not afraid because his wife is by his side.
The private actions of the two did not attract Meng Yunqiao's attention. She continued:
"By the way, I was just busy talking about myself. Su Yuan, how are you preparing? After all, you came to the academy relatively late, and Mr. Wang usually pays special attention to you, fearing that you will not be able to keep up with everyone else."
"If you don't understand something, don't be shy and ask me. After all, I have studied in the Tianzi class for four years, so I can still give you some advice. Let's work hard to pass the exam together."
Meng Yunqiao's words successfully attracted the attention of Meng Yunlan who was sitting nearby. He raised his eyes and looked at Su Yuan, with emotions hidden in his eyes that even he himself was not aware of.
Staring at Su Yuan, curious about her next answer.
Because Meng Yunlan felt in her heart.
My sister may not be as good as Su Yuan.
Su Yuan smiled and said nothing, changing the subject:
"Are you going back to Tongcheng today? It's getting late now, why don't you stay for lunch before leaving?"
Meng Yunqiao heard this and nodded like a little chicken:
"Okay, then let's have dinner at your house and then we'll set off."
"Um."
After lunch, Su Yuan saw Meng Yunqiao and his brother off.
She sat in the study room that had just been renovated a few days ago, reading and practicing calligraphy, while Nan Chu was studying on the side, occasionally chatting with Su Yuan.
Su Yuan had been studying for the entire afternoon and was now tired. She looked at Nan Chu who had been accompanying her and chatted:
"The shop is doing a booming business right now, but we won't stay in Qinghe Town forever. I'll discuss this with Daddy when he comes back."
"If we hire a few more people to train them, we can open a branch directly in Tongcheng, and it won't be so troublesome."
After hearing this, Nan Chu's eyes lit up:
"Well, good. From now on, I can also go to Tongcheng with my wife. I have only been to Qinghe Town a few times since I was a child. I never thought that one day I would be able to go to Tongcheng."
Su Yuan rubbed Nan Chu's cute little head, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of smiles:
"Not only Tongcheng, you can also go to Jiangzhou and the capital in the future. You can open your and dad's shops in various places."
Nan Chu heard this and nodded happily:
"Well, I believe my wife can take Nanchu with her."
Su Yuan raised his eyes slightly and said with a smile:
"Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about now. Do you remember what I promised you?"
Nan Chu lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and said seriously:
"Remember, my wife said a few days ago that she would take me to the market."
Su Yuan nodded with satisfaction and asked:
"Why don't you go change your clothes? We'll go out right away and have dinner outside and buy some things."
"Yes, my wife, please wait a moment."
After Nan Chu finished speaking, he ran to the bedroom and changed his clothes.
This is me going to the market with my wife!
He needs to dress up better.
