Chapter 359: Food Stealers
Si Tian did not answer immediately this time, and even hesitated for a moment.
"Atian, you hesitated." Miao Jiu looked at him with amusement.
"I don't want to bother with you. What's wrong with Meng Yanxin's mother?" Si Tian turned to look at Miao Jiu.
Miao Jiu raised his eyebrows: "I've been at home recently, you have to ask your eldest brother about this."
Si Tian didn't bother to pay attention to him and locked him outside the room as soon as he entered.
Miao Jiu looked at the door that almost hit his nose and said, "It's rude."
"Xiaojiu." Si Ning called him from a distance.
Miao Jiu immediately turned around and ran over: "What's wrong?"
"Walk with me." Si Ning took his arm.
"Okay." Miao Jiu supported her waist and walked with her towards the courtyard outside: "What do you think about A Tian and Meng Yanxin?"
Si Ning looked up at him: "What did you see?"
"I always feel that there is something going on between the two of them." Miao Jiu was certain.
"Who knows, it would be nice if Yanxin could be my sister-in-law." Si Ning had a smile on his face.
"It means there will be one more person to clean up the mess at home." Miao Jiu looked disgusted.
Si Ning's face was full of smiles.
Si Tian came out of the bathroom, sat on the sofa in his room in his bathrobe, and took a slightly yellowed book from the shelf.
I opened the book and found a slightly yellowed photo inside.
The woman in the photo is Meng Yanxin. She has two pigtails and is dressed in a stylish outfit, looking energetic.
Her slender fingers gently stroked the face in the photo: "You always fight so hard, can't you let yourself get hurt less?"
"Knock knock." Someone knocked on the door.
Si Tian quickly put the photo in his hand back into the book and placed it on the bookshelf.
"Come in."
Siming pushed open the door and came in. She saw that he was still wearing his bathrobe, with the water stains on his hair still wet. "Just got back?"
"Yeah." Si Tian nodded and asked him to sit next to him: "Brother, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Aren't you asking about Meng Yanxin's mother?" Si Ming looked at him and asked.
"Hmm. Did something happen?" Si Tian couldn't help but grab his bathrobe with his fingers.
"Her mother ran away with someone and took away all the valuable and worthless things in the house, leaving nothing for her."
"I didn't ask anyone to stop it. Meng Yanxin discovered it yesterday." Si Ming recounted the whole story.
"I understand." Si Tian's voice was flat.
"Ah Tian, Meng Yanxin is a good girl. We all know how long you've liked her even if you don't tell us."
"Before, because of your leg problem and her identity as the daughter of the Meng family, you suppressed this feeling. Now that your leg is healed and she is no longer the daughter of the Meng family, are you still waiting?"
"Life is only a few decades long, don't let yourself regret." Siming patted his shoulder and stood up to leave.
Si Tian looked at the closed door, then looked at the book on the bookshelf, got up, changed his clothes, left home and went straight to the hospital.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen poked their little heads out from the bushes in the yard and watched Si Tian get into the car and leave.
"Brother, are we going to have a second aunt?" Juanjuan's beautiful big eyes were full of smiles.
"Juanjuan, do you want your second aunt?" Si Jinchen turned around and looked at her with a smile.
"Yes! Aunt Meng is very nice, Juanjuan likes her." Juanjuan covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
"Why are you two little guys here?" Siming stood behind them, looking at the two little guys with a few leaves on their heads.
"Dad!" Juanjuan and Si Jinchen turned around and hugged his legs.
Siming looked at the two leg pendants and smiled helplessly: "I have to thank Juanjuan's good friends today, otherwise the crops we worked so hard to grow would have been stolen."
"Who is so bad as to steal the crops that we have worked so hard to grow?" Juanjuan's little face wrinkled.
Si Jinchen: "Dad, have all the bad guys been caught?"
"We caught them. Some of them were so scared that they went insane. That made me know who was behind the scenes." Siming didn't expect the Taisho Empire to be so shameless.
The Northern government is really willing to turn a blind eye in order to achieve its goal.
In that case, don't blame him for being rude.
"No bad guy who steals things will have a good end." Juanjuan said angrily.
"Yeah, they want to get something for nothing, that's not right." Si Jinchen also nodded in agreement.
Siming took the two children back to the house. After listening to him, Miao Jiu had some ideas.
"Juanjuan, Achen, the housekeeper has made new toys for you. Let's go and see them together." Old Madam Si knew that they had something to discuss, so she took the two children away.
Miao Jiu waited until they left before speaking: "I think we should check Pei Jingming's identity."
"I think so too. Da Zheng Chamber of Commerce is so easy to talk to, so why let him come to trade?" Si Ming would not believe anything he said.
"But who should be asked to investigate this matter?" Miao Jiu also suspected that Pei Jingming's identity was not simple.
Siming turned to look at the birds playing in the yard outside and said, "Why don't we let Falcon go?"
"We can't command this guy, you can only let Juanjuan come." Miao Jiu shook his head helplessly.
"Wait for me to ask the questionnaire. If it doesn't want to go, you can't force it." Siming didn't want to make things difficult for the little animal.
Northern Government.
Pei Jingming was sitting at his desk when he saw the news that had just been delivered. The people sent to steal food were completely wiped out. Not only did they fail to steal a single grain, they were all caught.
I'm afraid everyone knows by now that it was done by people from the Taisho Empire.
He overturned everything in his hands: "Damn it, why is Beiyang City so difficult now?"
He was clearly almost out of money before, but now he is not only rich but also looks like he has no shortage of money.
But now he is getting worse and worse, and he always suffers setbacks in the Beiyang government.
What exactly went wrong and when did this situation start?
He was only one step away from suppressing Siming. As long as he let Dayan enter Beiyang City, he could control Beiyang City without a single soldier.
At this time, the office door was pushed open, and Nakata, the president of the Taisho Chamber of Commerce, walked in angrily: "Pei Jingming, what are you doing?"
"The Empire wants high-yield grain. You haven't gotten the grain seeds yet, and you've lost so many people. How are you going to explain this to the Emperor?"
"I, I don't know why this happened. Beiyang City is very weird now." Pei Jingming also looked quite innocent.
Everything was going smoothly before, but for some reason, I ran into a lot of obstacles during this period of time and was almost kicked out of the Northern Government.
If it weren't for the difficulty of planting a spy for the empire, I would have been kicked out long ago.
"I don't care what method you use. The empire needs high-yield grain. If you can't do this, you should commit seppuku to apologize!"
After saying this, Nakata slammed the door shut.
