Chapter 647: A Story Within a Story Dream
The rain outside the window has not stopped, and the cool weather makes people drowsy.
Lin Yiyi returned to the damp little warehouse, leaned against the head of the bed and recalled what Ding Li had said.
"People who are too conspicuous cannot be traitors. But if you want to stay, keep an eye on the servants around you. If there is anything wrong, you can report it to me."
The matter was easily covered up, but she always felt something was wrong. Could it be that besides her, other people in the Ding family were also suspects?
There are many people in the Ding family and many things to do.
Thinking that she could get a sum of money for providing information, Lin Yiyi still carefully observed the actions of the other servants.
It seemed that because of Ding Li's words, she suddenly felt that everyone seemed to be a suspect.
Ordinary actions become intentional ones.
During lunch time, Xia Fu sat next to Lin Yiyi and asked curiously, "Butler Mo asked you to clean the corridor again this morning. Are you done now? Do you need my help?"
“Xia Fu, how can you be so nice?” Lin Yiyi put down her chopsticks and took her arm. “But I have already rearranged it.”
Seeing that she didn't tell the truth, Xia Fu just smiled and said, "That's good. You should be more serious in your work in the future. Although Butler Mo is a good person, he is a person who can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes."
"Um."
Lin Yiyi looked at her deeply, then smiled and continued to eat with her chopsticks. Some proverbs are really true.
There is never any kindness between people without reason, there must be something to be desired.
Thinking about the events of the past month, Xia Fu seemed to be the most suspicious.
Lin Yiyi knew very well that her cleverness that was only shown on the surface was not worth mentioning in front of a truly smart person. When Ding Yan went to the back garden to talk to her, Ding Li knew about it immediately.
Ding Yan hates Ding Li so much that he even arranges people to monitor him, so he must understand him.
Now that I think about it, it seems like he exposed her on purpose.
Let her be the center of attention.
Ding Yan may have many purposes, but there is only one purpose for arranging her to the Ding family, which is to divert someone's attention.
…
Beibianze County
By mid to late March, the mountains and forests thawed and the snow disappeared.
Zhao Sheng was busy from dawn to dusk, and spent his entire day's vacation in the abandoned mining area of Zhuer Mountain. He felt even more disgusted with the trouble-making Tian Meihui.
In order to make room for a few boxes of gold nuggets, the remaining grain in the cellar of the Jinji Town yard had to be sold quickly at a low price without having to wait to raise the price.
When negotiating the price of miscellaneous grains, I unexpectedly heard a piece of news from the middleman.
"As for food, in previous years, the price at this time of year is not that high, but it is not as low as this either."
Zhao Sheng frowned slightly, took out two cigarettes from the cigarette box with a stern face, and handed one to the middleman.
"How many times have I dealt with you? I didn't mean to lower the price with you. You don't know that it has been from the end of last year until now.
There is suddenly a new batch of fresh goods in Ze County, neighboring cities and surrounding towns, including rice, flour, grain, oil and sugar, which are several times more expensive than the best refined grains. "
"The rice grains are white and round, but they deliberately mix some sand particles in to sell at a lower price. There is not even any husk left. There is no grain of this quality in the north or south. Are you kidding me?"
"It's almost half a year, and we can't sell the products we have, so the price will naturally be kept low."
"If you are not in a hurry, wait until the end of May to sell it. The price will definitely be higher than now."
Zhao Sheng half-closed his eyelids, flicked the matchsticks with his fingertips, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "What? Are you going to close the net?"
"That's right, the boss above and..." At this point, the middleman raised his chin and pointed upwards, "Those who don't know the rules and grab the benefits will naturally have to be cleaned up and repaired."
Zhao Sheng chuckled, and the bright moon shone into his eyes, cold and indifferent.
He stayed in Jinji Town for one night, using the daily necessities prepared for the female swindler, and he didn't know how she was doing in the south.
Do you also ask others for help just like you ask him for help?
Zhao Sheng spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth and recalled the scene of her wiping the foam from the corners of his mouth. He then looked down and saw the black cloth on his wrist, and his resentment towards her rose in his heart again.
He originally wanted to throw away the safety chain, but felt that he had suffered a heavy loss, so keeping this thing was a kind of compensation.
After washing his face with a few handfuls of cold water from the basin, Zhao Sheng lay back on the kang and began to swear to himself that he would forget her sooner or later.
Unfortunately, dreams never come true.
The female liar in the dream squatted on the ground washing dishes and chopsticks, crying as she washed, "Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, when will you come to pick me up? I am not living well here, I regret it."
"I regret leaving you...
I'm sorry for you. I was blinded by the rich life. I don't have enough food or warm clothes in Hong Kong. I miss you so much that I can't sleep. "
In the dream, Zhao Sheng was dressed in a suit and tie, looking arrogant and strange.
"Oh, you regret it now? It's too late."
"There are two large basins and bowls next to it. Wash them slowly and thoroughly."
Zhao Sheng was extremely cold in his dream. When he woke up he realized it was a dream and his face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. It is said that whatever you think about during the day you will dream about at night.
The female liar must have been poor and destitute, with nothing to eat or drink, and was living a miserable life, so she sent him a message in his dream.
Seeing that it was getting late outside the window, Zhao Sheng didn't continue sleeping. He simply packed up and took the earliest bus back to Ze County.
He plunged into the day-to-day truck work.
Southern port city.
Lin Yiyi felt that the Ding family was in deep trouble, and as an outsider, the only thing she could do was to keep her job for the time being and learn the language in her spare time.
As for the debt she owed Ding Yan, she could only forget about it temporarily. The huge debt was so huge that she couldn't pay it back even if she didn't eat or drink, so she might as well enjoy her current life.
It was a sunny day and Lin Yiyi got half a day off. Thinking that there were cockroaches in the dwarf warehouse where she lived, she sneaked to the wall of the back garden to pick camphor leaves.
She didn't dare to ask the gardener to borrow a ladder, so she just avoided people and hit the branches with a big broom.
After a round of beatings, leaves fell off all over its head and face, as well as some small spiders and their webs.
He picked up a bib and returned to his warehouse with a smile on his face.
She found a foot basin and threw all the camphor leaves into it. She didn't even wash them, but crushed them in a glass bottle to get out the juice. A strange fragrance filled her nose, choking her and making her sneeze several times.
Then he poured in half a basin of hot water, and with a "sizzling" sound, Lin Yiyi's eyes became itchy and she sneezed non-stop.
He hurriedly ran out of the house to avoid the strange fragrance, and repeated that having no money is a suffering.
Xia Fu took some baked chocolate cookies and fruits from the kitchen and brought them upstairs. She knocked on the door twice and waited until she heard a voice from inside before pushing it open.
Xia Fu walked around the living room and went into the lounge on the left. Seeing the young master sitting in front of the window writing something, her face became more shy.
Ding Li glanced around and found that the figure did not look like her. He looked up and said, "Why is it you? Didn't I tell the newcomer to bring in tea?"
Xia Fu's face froze for a moment, but then she smiled again. "Xiaoyi is on vacation today, so I haven't had time to tell her. She's new here, and the jobs she does are all unimportant chores."
Ding Li was a little annoyed. He brushed his long curly hair and said calmly, "You go out first. You don't have to clean my room anymore."
Xia Fu didn't know why the young master suddenly asked this question. She just nodded softly and turned to walk out.
After going downstairs, he went straight to the second floor in the backyard to find Lin Yiyi who had asked for leave to rest. He ran into her standing outside the door and sneezing, and his stiff expression immediately disappeared.
"What are you doing? Have a cold?"
Lin Yiyi waved her hand and said, "No, I was poisoned by the strange smell."
Xia Fu explained the work to her. Thinking that she would not be able to get close to Master Ding in the future, she felt somewhat uncomfortable facing Lin Yiyi.
She knew not to blame her, but she still felt a little upset.
Compared to the relaxing feeling of sweeping fallen leaves while enjoying the beautiful scenery in the garden, Lin Yiyi was not happy with the cleaning and housekeeping job on the second floor. She probably wouldn't be able to be lazy in the future.
She didn't have the habit of opening her heart to others or talking nonsense to get a job. When she saw Xia Fu's strange look, she pretended not to notice and just smiled and said "hmm".
The juice of the camphor leaves in the basin drove away the flying insects and cockroaches, and the small bait thrown by Ding Li startled something.
