It was at this moment that the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
The boy was startled and took two steps back.
"Where did it come from? What did it do?" The middle-aged man dressed as a steward saw the boy and asked with a frown while looking at him.
"My father asked me to come here." The boy said timidly.
"Who is your father?"
"Week...Tuesday Shuan."
The steward narrowed his eyes and realized that the boy looked a little familiar: "He's from Zhoujiacun?"
The boy nodded hurriedly and stepped forward to hand over the deposit slip.
"What did you do this time!" The steward took the receipt and read it, and scolded with a stern face: "We agreed to deliver the things last night, but my family members waited all night!"
In the middle of the night, he finally managed to find one temporarily, but it didn't work at all. The master's mind was filled with the portrait that Zhoujiacun had sent earlier!
I'm still throwing things and losing my temper right now!
He was scolded and was about to take people to Zhoujiacun to deal with the matter.
The steward said, looking at the donkey cart behind the boy.
"You... please calm down." The boy said with fear and fear: "My father injured his leg yesterday and couldn't move, so we were delayed... I came here on my father's behalf last night, but I took the wrong way. When I arrived at the city gate
Closed…”
"Okay!" The manager didn't have the patience to listen to his nonsense: "Just say, have you brought the goods?"
"Just, right in the car."
The steward waved to the servants behind him.
A large black cloth bag was hidden at the bottom of the funeral objects. Several servants worked together to move it down. The "thing" inside was faintly struggling and moving.
The steward noticed something was wrong: "...why is it so heavy?"
The boy lowered his head and whispered: "My father said that in addition to the one in the portrait, I also got another good one, and he asked me to send it together... It's just because my father couldn't come in person this time, and the job was not done beautifully enough.
Think of it as compensation for employees."
When the steward heard this, he had no doubt about it, and his face brightened slightly.
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. He knew how to do things like this, and his business with Zhoujiacun would be inevitable in the future. He had no reason to be too mean, so he took out a money bag and threw it at the boy: "I'll be late next time.
I’m not that easy to talk to.”
"Yes, thank you, thank you very much." The boy bowed hurriedly.
"Wait a minute." When the servants passed by, the steward wanted to open the bag and check it out.
The boy's heart suddenly lifted.
However, the knot used to tie the black bag was tied very firmly. When the steward was struggling to solve it, he heard the young man's cry coming from the alley: "Come here quickly, that cat is coming over here!"
The teenagers chased cats and dogs in the morning, and they were the most noisy——
When the steward heard this, he didn't want to be seen causing trouble, so he urged the servants: "Carry it in first."
After all, this was not the first time he had been involved in a transaction. The people in Zhoujia Village had always known this and never dared to use their cleverness on other family members, otherwise they would suffer.
Seeing that the group of people returned to the courtyard and closed the door, the boy didn't dare to delay for a moment and drove away quickly.
The donkey cart stopped as it passed through the alley. The girl who had just spoken to attract the attention of those people nodded and said, "Well done."
"Here!" The boy with bright eyes, whether because of the praise or because he was too nervous and excited, handed the money bag to her.
The girl took the money bag with one hand and touched the green donkey's head with the other hand, with approval in her eyes.
On the other side, the steward of the other courtyard led his servants to carry the cloth bag into the inner courtyard, when they met a man in brocade clothes, about thirty years old, walking out.
The man with blue eyes and a fat head and big ears kicked the steward angrily: "I didn't ask you to go to Zhoujia Village, why are you delaying here! Where did you get the low-grade goods to fill your pocket? Give it to me as soon as possible.
Throw it out!"
The steward held his stomach and said "Oh!" and ignored the pain. He quickly bowed and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Lang, please calm down! This is exactly what Zhoujiacun just sent...the one in the portrait!"
The husband of his family had some unusual hobbies when he was young, and he didn't like the girls in the flower house very much. Only the innocent girl from the Haoliang family got the portrait sent by the people of Zhoujia Village a few days ago, and his eyes moved.
It doesn’t open anymore, it’s like my soul has been taken away, I think about it every day——
After hearing this, the man's anger suddenly disappeared, his eyes were filled with joy, and he urged his servants to send him to his room.
The steward followed him and said diligently: "I'm afraid that the young lady from outside is not clean. Why don't you wait for me to order the maid to take her down and clean up..."
"Let me first see if it really looks like a fairy like in the portrait!"
The man couldn't wait. When he saw the servant putting the bag on the ground, he hurriedly said: "Put it on the couch, be careful not to hurt my beauty!"
Then he personally stepped forward to untie the cloth bag. The more difficult the knot was, the more itchy he became - if beauty is too easy to obtain, it would lose its meaning.
It was extremely difficult to untie it, only to find that there were two cloth bags inside.
The man opened one of them first, and the next moment, the smile on his face froze, and he backed away with a cry: "What the hell is this!"
Seeing the face of the ugly woman whose mouth was gagged and one of her eyes was pierced, the manager was also startled. He tried to calm down his tone: "Mr. Sir, please calm down, this is just a gimmick... Don't you think so?"
If you like it, I’ll let you carry it out and throw it away!”
Does this person named Zhou know how to do business?
Even if it’s buy one get one free, this gift is too sloppy!
"Hurry, throw it out quickly!"
The man was so angry that the steward wanted to make up for it. While he had the blind woman thrown out, he diligently stepped forward and opened another sack. He said with an apologetic smile: "The fairy in the painting that Mr. Lang wanted is here, Mr. Lang."
Just take a look..."
Before he finished speaking, his smile had frozen.
There was suffocating silence all around.
The man he called husband turned pale, his lips trembled, and he was so angry that he almost lost his breath.
Looking at the old man struggling to raise his eyelids in the sack, the steward trembled: "This...there must be something wrong!"
Such a ghost thing would never be found in a cloth bag for no reason!
And there are two at once!
…
In the alley, the girl had taken off the rope from the green donkey's neck and patted it: "Let's go."
Seeing her letting go of the donkey and leaving, the boy followed her and couldn't help but ask: "...Why are you sending them here?"
"Why don't you make money if you have money?" the girl asked, holding the money bag.
I won't traffic others unless they traffic me, that's it.
The boy was very uneasy: "But...but they will soon find out something is wrong."
"If we don't come, they will come to our door. Instead of doing this, we should take the initiative to explore the road to distinguish the truth from the lies." There was thinking in the girl's eyes - regarding the existence of this "member outsider", the couple did not lie.
Rather than saying he doesn't dare to lie, it seems more like he thinks he has something to rely on.
It would not be an ordinary person to spend such a generous amount on such a villa.
The boy seemed to understand, and quickly followed the girl: "Can we go to the government now?"
"It's even worse."
"Ah..." The boy was confused and uneasy: "Where to go?"
"Here we come." The girl's steps became faster: "Run——"
Before the boy could fully react, he instinctively started running after her.
Soon, the manager's angry and angry voice came from behind him: "Quick! We must catch that brat!"
Not far from the long alley, there is a lively street market.
The people chased her closely, and the girl and the boy ran through the crowd for a while. Taking advantage of the paper kite stall in front of them, they ducked into a carriage parked on the street.
She spotted no one in the car and could use it to escape for a while.
Through the gap in the slightly raised car curtain, I saw the steward leading the people and chasing them forward, and the group of people quickly disappeared into the crowd.
The girl then silently lowered the car curtain.
When she was about to leave, what she saw out of the corner of her eye made her suddenly stop, and her eyes immediately fell on the coffee table placed in the car.
She looked intently at the objects on the table and felt quite surprised. This chapter has been completed!
