"Why are you here?"
The person who came in from the outside was none other than Wei Dongting. He glanced at Tietou and said with a displeased expression.
"It's none of your business?" Tietou rolled his eyes.
"Say it again?" Wei Dongting's face darkened.
Tietou didn't dare to say anything anymore, pretending not to hear, walked past him, and muttered, "This is wrapped like a rice dumpling, it's not the Dragon Boat Festival."
"What did you say?" Wei Dongting was furious and turned around suddenly.
But Tietou had already run away in a flash.
Wei Dongting snorted heavily and walked in angrily. He glanced at me and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Haitang sitting over the counter. He swallowed back what he said and stared at Haitang for a long time. I looked at it several times.
"Who is this? Why does it look familiar to me?" Wei Dongting asked.
"When you see a beautiful woman, you say she looks familiar, right?" I raised my head and glanced at him.
Wei Dongting said angrily, "He's just a child, he's beautiful or not, don't bullshit me!"
"Isn't it the same one I saw in Shimen Village? Your memory is not very good." I poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Sit down and have a drink?"
"No need." Wei Dongting frowned and looked at Haitang for a while, "Is that the little girl you rescued? Why is she here?"
"You have brought trouble to other people's villages, where do you want them to live?" I asked.
Wei Dongting was choked and said angrily, "What does it mean to be troubled by us?"
However, his tone softened a lot. He sat on the sofa and asked, "What is she doing here with you?"
I said, "The second in command of Liuniantang."
"Shit!" Wei Dongting said with a dark face, "You didn't kidnap a child to do illegal work for you, did you?"
"Haitang, tell this uncle." I greeted.
"Uncle, I am the second in command of Liuniantang." Haitang said crisply.
Wei Dongting choked for a long time and didn't say a word.
"You're seriously injured. Why are you running around all day and not taking a good rest at home?" I asked after drinking tea.
"Where's the one named Shao?" Wei Dongting asked with a solemn face.
I glanced at Shao Zilong, who was facing a muddy face and was building a wall with others, "What do you want to do with him?"
"I'm looking for you two." Wei Dongting said, "My senior brother said that things in Shimen Village have been hard on everyone this time. My senior brother is hosting a banquet tonight and invites everyone to come over."
"What about those injured brothers?" I asked.
I don’t know whether I should say that Cao Junwu is lucky, or that our group of people are tough. Although these people who returned to Shimen Village were injured a lot, they all came back alive.
Shen Qingyao's side was miserable. The brothers from the Feng Shui Association who he brought were dead and injured. It can be said that they suffered heavy losses.
"A few are still in the hospital, and the others are fine." Wei Dongting said, softening his tone, "This time we are all going through the trouble together. What the senior brother means is that if we get together together, he wants to thank everyone in person. "
"That's true. We have gone through adversity together. Let's have a drink together?" I poured another cup of tea and handed it to him.
Wei Dongting did not refuse this time and took it.
"But forget it, senior brother. Didn't he run away temporarily? How does this count as sharing weal and woe?" I added.
Wei Dongting was holding the tea and was about to drink it. When he heard this, he slammed the tea cup on the table and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My senior brother has something important to do. How can you say he ran away temporarily?"
"Isn't it just a small car accident? What's the big deal?" I disagreed.
"A small car accident?" Wei Dongting sneered, "Uncle Cao still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, but you actually said it was a small car accident?"
"Oh, is it so serious?" I asked in surprise.
Wei Dongting snorted coldly, "You don't know anything, so don't talk nonsense here!"
"That's true. How about you explain the situation to me in detail?" I nodded.
"I'm telling you... can I tell you?" Wei Dongting glared at me, "Remember to call the man named Shao and come over tonight."
"Where are we gathering? At the Cao family's mansion?" I asked.
"In the hotel this time." Wei Dongting said.
I said oh, "I won't go then."
Wei Dongting was startled and furious, "What's the difference?"
I said, "I don't think it's interesting."
"Love or not!" Wei Dongting stood up angrily, walked to the door, and then turned back and said, "To express his gratitude, my senior brother has prepared something for everyone. Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"If you don't go, it will be gone?" I asked.
Wei Dongting choked to death, shook his arm fiercely, and left the house.
As a result, he forgot that he was still injured and shook his arm so hard that he suddenly let out an "ouch" in pain and hurriedly got into the car while sucking in the air-conditioning.
In the evening, someone came over to give gifts.
Shao Zilong and I each have one.
"Let me see what it is?" Shao Zilong couldn't wait to open it.
When I opened it, I found it was a jade Ruyi.
My share is the same.
These two jade Ruyi carvings are of excellent quality and have exquisite craftsmanship. What is even more rare is the quality of the jade.
"This is worth a lot of money." Master Zhang was well-informed and had some eyesight in this area, and he praised it.
However, Shao Zilong was a little uninterested and threw it to me and said, "Just take care of it and use it as living expenses."
He didn't say to whom the living allowance was given, but I understood that he was talking about Haitang.
"How about I give you some points after the processing is finished?" I asked him.
Shao Zilong's eyes lit up, but he quickly waved his hands in frustration, "Forget it, I'm afraid my old man will find out, and it will be miserable then."
"Okay then." I handed the two pieces of jade Ruyi to Master Zhang and asked him to find someone to estimate the price and sell them if the price was right.
Two days have passed since then, and the rumors among the people have become more and more intense, becoming more and more outrageous.
The Cao family has a great business and is the most virtuous family in Meicheng. It can be said that it is a big tree that attracts the wind, so it naturally attracts everyone's attention. Together with these rumors, it quickly spread to the public.
At noon that day, Tietou hurried in, took out a silver ingot that was a little larger than his palm, and placed it on the counter.
"What is this for?" I asked him.
Tietou said mysteriously, "Do you know what's going on in the Cao family now?"
"This Yuanbao doesn't belong to the Cao family, right?" I said with some confusion.
"The enemy!" Tietou said, "It is said that Cao Song is still unconscious and has been transferred home from the hospital. However, the medical facilities of the Cao family are no worse than those of the hospital."
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's too far to talk about it. Early this morning, the Cao family gathered people to go to their Cao family mansion to pray for Cao Song together."
"Is there such a thing? How many people go there?" I asked curiously.
"More!" Tietou said, "The reputation of the Cao family in Meicheng is still good. When they heard that they wanted to pray for Cao Song, many people ran over, saying that they could still benefit from the Cao family's luck."
"In addition, there is this." Tietou pointed to the big ingot on the counter, "Everyone who participates in the prayer, the Cao family will give one like this as a thank you gift."
