Chapter 287 The Reason Revealed
Chapter 287 The Reason Revealed
"I've never seen this before. I've heard of people who help the right but not their relatives, but I've never heard of people who help the outsiders but not the innocent. This is really a god. Oh, that's not right. What do you mean the old lady was still here before, but now she's gone?"
I also discovered the hidden meaning in Hongdou's words. The reason why she dared to stir up trouble now might be because the old lady is no longer around. My thoughts were also confirmed. Seeing Hongdou nod, I felt a little disappointed in my heart.
"The old man died unjustly. Liu Laosan was a man who indulged in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He was also cunning and sly at work. Fewer and fewer people wanted to work for him. He was supported by the old lady's dowry. One day, Liu Laosan owed a lot of money outside. When people came to catch up with him, the old lady fainted in anger and decided not to help her son anymore. Unexpectedly, the couple decided not to treat the old lady, so she died at home. The other party said that she was not cured and did not even hire a doctor. The world is so fickle."
When Hongdou said this, she sighed continuously. Yes, how could such a good person be willing to die at the hands of her own son?
"Hey, so what does this have to do with my manuscript?" Then again, with the old lady's dowry, it should be enough to last for a while.
"This lady boss is narrow-minded. She's jealous because her business isn't as good as mine." What Hongdou said was not entirely unreasonable. The reason had been revealed, and she probably knew the process as well.
"How's the investigation at home going?" I felt sweet in my heart as I drank the lily and lotus seed soup brought by Hongdou, which was made with sugar.
"We've found some clues. It's probably among the few people who were on guard that day." Hongdou took the bowl from my hand and said to me thoughtfully.
"I'm roughly sure who it is. Go and check the homes of the two people guarding the gate that day." He couldn't say this too clearly, otherwise how would he explain how he knew the information.
Intuition is something that is not very convincing no matter how you listen to it. Hongdou listened to it and went out with the bowl. Before leaving, Hongdou must have thought of my bitter melon, and immediately went out with tears on her face.
I wanted to laugh but held it back. It seems that Hongdou is really afraid of bitterness.
No, when I say this I think of that day when Hongdou didn’t want to eat but didn’t dare to refuse me. “Hahaha.” I really couldn’t hold it in anymore and I laughed for a long time hiding under the quilt.
"What are you laughing at? You look so happy." Nannan is a stubborn girl. She suddenly jumped out and lay down opposite me, looking at me with my head covered in the quilt.
"Oh, Nannan, just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you." He was really scared and shouted that he wanted to beat her up.
The two of them laughed quietly for most of the day, and then lay on the bed to rest. "So, have you figured out what happened?" Nannan sat up and asked me with a look of certainty in her eyes.
Why does this guy seem to know everything and still ask me in a pretentious manner? It’s just that his acting skills are not good and he can’t even paint his face well.
I was so angry with her that I just kept shaking my head, "I haven't checked it out yet, so I don't know who did it."
As expected, Nannan looked at him in disbelief and blurted out, "How is it possible? I clearly heard...ah..." He was halfway through his words when he realized that he had let the slip and quickly covered his mouth.
"Hey, didn't you know? What did you hear? Tell me quickly." I put my face very close to hers, and I could see that this guy's face turned red. It was really interesting.
"Okay, okay, I just happened to hear what you were talking about, okay?" Nannan was held back by me and could only tell me what happened.
"No wonder you are not curious about anything. You have been eavesdropping for a long time!" I was wondering why this guy disappeared as soon as there was any noise. It turns out he was waiting for me here.
"Oh, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What are you going to do?" Nannan quickly changed the subject and told me about this. I waved my hands. I knew the general idea of the situation, but I still had to wait for them to finish making the product.
"Once the thing is made, there's no hope, right? How can we fight for it then?" Nannan asked me in confusion. I gave her a slap on the face, and she grimaced in pain.
"Just say you're stupid. What they got was a semi-finished draft. I don't know what they were thinking, but they wanted to use porcelain. It looks good and is rare, but the key point is that hairpins are for people to wear. If you touch the porcelain, it will break."
I touched the hair on my head. It's made of porcelain. It's very smooth, but you can't touch it at all. It will break if you touch it. It does attract high-end wealthy people, but Hongdou's store also has customers of normal class. We can't completely ignore the market.
"It's broken, and then what? This girl still doesn't understand what I mean. I really want to see if her brain is full of water. It's all in vain to read so many books.
"How can we promote our store if we don't take the stuff out?" After I said this, Nannan nodded as if she understood, and I continued to tell her about my own psychological journey.
"Let them run rampant for a few days when their products are released. When negative news comes out, we will launch ours. The two stores must have had a feud before. They will spread rumors that they copied ours and drove up their prices. If they do well, their store will definitely go bankrupt. If they do not do well, at most the two stores will check and balance each other."
Put the teacup aside, your idea is still very good, and it is easy to operate and not that difficult to do.
“But what if there is no negative news?”
"Hey, now you've hit the nail on the head. If there's no negative news, then I'll help them and make something of it." I flicked my hair and spoke seriously.
"Ah, isn't this a bad idea?"
"Why didn't they say it was not good when they stole my stuff? If they dare to steal my stuff and my ideas, they should be mentally prepared." I get angry when I talk about the manuscript.
I have been busy for so long, using my brain and drawing, and they just sit back and reap the benefits. It's a nice thought.
"It seems so. Then we just wait for the product to be made?"
"No, we need to do some preparations in advance. To ensure perfect execution of things, we have to clear the road." He also had some plans in mind.
"Road, what road? The road in the yard is quite clean." I don't know if this guy really doesn't understand or is pretending. He looks like an idiot as he lies by the window and looks at it.
"Go and cut off the leaves on the road, and you'll know." I pointed to the yard and said, and seeing that this girl was really eager to pick them up, I quickly held her down.
"Okay, little ancestor, if you have time to pick up leaves, you should think of a way to solve the wood problem!" I carried her to the table and gave her instructions.
"Oh, didn't I tell you last time that the book I looked up didn't contain any potions that could be separated into twelve different types." Nannan swung her legs, lowered her head and looked at her toes, looking aggrieved.
"Oh, you see, it's twelve times, so the most basic one must be the same, which is eleven times. If you can't do it, why don't you find someone else?"
When I said this, I seemed to remember someone, and I looked at each other. Yes, it was the golden pig that had disappeared for a long time. He said he was going to practice, and I haven't seen him for a long time. I don't know what he is doing recently.
"Didn't this guy go out to practice before? Is he out now? How is he feeling? It seemed quite serious last time." It would have been better if he didn't say this, because as soon as he said it, he remembered what his mother did that time.
Thinking about it now, my back feels cold. It's because I've been relaxed for so many days that I even forgot about these things. Suddenly, I touched my temple feeling a little irritated.
"It seems to be almost done. I went to see it last time, and the problem is not serious. He should be able to do this favor, but..." I felt even more annoyed when I saw this guy hesitant to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it now so I can go do my own thing."
"Do you remember what you signed with the Golden Pig last time?" Nannan didn't say it directly. This question made me fall into deep thought. I really couldn't remember what it was last time.
"I don't remember at all." I have given up resisting. I really can't remember it. Next time I really need to make a memo, otherwise what will happen to my memory? I can't remember where I put the things I just put down.
"The heart of a dead thing." Nannan couldn't bear to watch it anymore. I scratched my head and seemed to be unable to remember it, so she told me directly.
"Oh oh oh, I was complaining about the hearts of dead animals before, right? I remembered it now, what's wrong with that?" I remembered it, but what does it have to do with this thing?
"If you want the Golden Pig to help, you have to exchange this thing. Before, the Golden Pig didn't come out because this thing didn't move. Now it's different. I feel it. This thing has come out."
Nannan said to me very seriously. Seeing her seriousness, I was a little uncomfortable. She shrugged and said, "Then let's go. Since you know where it is, let's get it back."
"It's not that easy. I just felt it appeared, and it was only for a moment. I had no way to lock its position." Nannan waved her hand and told me.
"What should we do, Nannan? Now that you have brought up this topic, do you have any idea?" I know Nannan. If she really has no idea about something, she would not talk about it in this kind of occasion.
"There is a way, and I've figured it out." Nannan didn't hide it from me and told me straight away.
"That person called Nuonuo gave you a piece of paper before, do you remember?" Nannan was sitting opposite me. When she said this, she was obviously a little guilty, but she pretended to be calm and looked at me with a vague look.
Of course I remember this, "They didn't let me look at it, and then the paper disappeared. There seemed to be a map on it, and a star...star..." When I said this, I seemed to realize something.
I tilted my head to look at Nannan. The little girl felt a little weak under my stare. "Nannan, can you lend me your hand to frame Nuonuo?" I felt something was wrong at the time. Now that I think about it, the problem is with Nannan.
I didn't know what was wrong with her at that time. She was in a state of moodiness. It turned out that she was doing this. I was a little angry. Why couldn't she tell me what was going on? She had to lie to me.
"Nannan, tell me the truth, does this incident have any impact on Nuonuo?" This was my first reaction.
This question seemed to irritate Nannan, and she suddenly spoke to me in an angry tone, "Who is more important, that monster or us?"
After saying this, Nannan's tears as big as beans dripped down like broken strings. She was completely confused. What happened? I knew that these two people didn't get along, but why?
Now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing is to coax my daughter. I went forward and wanted to hug her. She didn't resist and just lay on me and cried.
I didn't know what to say, so I tried to comfort the little girl as gently as possible to stop her from crying. "Okay, Nannan, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that just now. Don't be sad, Nannan, be good."
I tried so hard to comfort her, but she only cried a little less, sniffling from time to time. "Okay, Nannan, I know you're a good child. I'm sorry."
"Then why are you saying that? You are wrongly accusing me!" After hearing what I said, Nannan felt aggrieved again and she snorted angrily.
I pinched this guy's nose and said, "I really don't know what's going on in your little head."
It is easy to understand at this time that there are really no parents who are not partial. Nannan is the child closest to me and my favorite child. I may not have this mentality towards the others.
"Okay, don't be angry anymore. I'll take you to eat something delicious. Tell me what you want to eat. I remember that wine shop in the south of the city has opened an osmanthus wine cake. It is said to have the aroma of wine and osmanthus. I'm sure you have never tasted it."
This little greedy cat must be interested in food. If she is in a bad mood, it is better to eat something sweet. Seeing that the little guy did not refuse, she knew in her heart that she was not angry anymore.
"Let's go and take the little greedy cat out to eat." He put on his hat, put his daughter on his shoulders and went out.
"Who is the little greedy cat?" Even when I told her she was, the guy was not happy.
"Okay, okay, I am here. Come accompany me, your little greedy cat, to eat something." He was also reluctant to take the guy out.
"Who is the little greedy cat?" Even when I told her she was, the guy was not happy.
"Okay, okay, I am here. Come accompany me, your little greedy cat, to eat something." He was also reluctant to take the guy out.
I had to pretend to be sad along the way. When I was leaving the gate, I paid special attention to the servant at the door, but I didn't see him. It seemed that the servant was on the long night shift.
I felt much more relaxed now that I was out of the door. I didn't have to pretend all the way. Not everyone knew me anyway. I arrived at the rice cake shop in the south of the city.
I came at a good time as there weren't many people around. I bought enough and was about to turn back when I saw a nasty looking guy flying in the sky.
Okay, this time it’s not Master Xiao. Master Xiao doesn’t have that ability. It’s that stupid bird.
It is a stupid bird. I was already a little conspicuous with my hat on, but it was still flying over my head, afraid that no one could see me.
