The woman was stunned: "What should we do? When will this happen?"
Then she turned around and scolded her son: "Who are you, a murderer like you, hanging out with?"
Turning to look at Tao Wenbao, he seemed to want to kneel down again: "Mr. Tao, you are very capable, please think of a solution quickly."
Tao Wenbao hurriedly supported her: "Second sister-in-law, we can't rush this matter. The officials have relations with the capital of our city, so it's hard for them to come forward. But the people from Kongminghui wanted to embarrass me, but they stopped doing it." How can I swallow this breath of thinking about the life of the people here? I will still think of ways in the next few days. You can bear it for the time being, and ask the brothers and sisters in the industry to bear it together..."
After he spoke, he took out three dollars of money from his sleeve: "Here are three hundred dollars. Second sister-in-law, please accept it first. The child was also temporarily obsessed, and he also needs money to recuperate. You can rest assured, I will think about it later." Think of ways to."
Seeing him say this, the woman seemed a little confused. After several pushbacks, the money was accepted, but the young man still looked angry. Even though he was helped up by the woman, he still didn't say a word. Tao Wenbao didn't care about him and coaxed the two of them out with a few words of comfort.
But the tiger boy at the door stayed. The woman said that she knew Tao Wenbao was good at game, so she bought it from the hunter at a high price and sent her as an apology. Tao Wenbao gave her two more dollars.
After Lao Xue closed the door, Tao Wenbao opened the curtain and took a look. As expected, there was a colorful tiger cub inside, looking energetic and roaring lowly. He thought for a while and asked Lao Xu to send the tiger cub to the backyard with its cage.
Li Boxen saw this behind the flowers and wanted to laugh.
The woman looked pitiful, but judging from her clothes, she didn't look like she was poor, at least she must have come from a wealthy family. She brought her son to apologize, perhaps as a trick to make her suffer. Although she kept crying, she spoke clearly and ruthlessly. She was not a character to be trifled with.
But it seemed that Tao Wenbao was even more difficult to deal with - when he came home in the afternoon, he was in a very good mood. Li Boxen thought that this Mr. Tao was not as kind and easy to bully as he seemed. Thinking about it, he was just using his tactics - the people from the Kongming Society were causing trouble for him, so he simply transferred the trouble to everyone in the city. If there really is no pork for sale in Zhangcheng, people may cause trouble.
This is generally the case in the world - some people believe that eating meat will make you sick, so it's one thing not to buy it yourself. But if this right to choose is inexplicably taken away, it's a different matter.
But he treated me very politely and even drank together last night. This person is really hard to figure out.
After thinking for a while, Chen Sangu brought food, asked Li Bochen what happened just now, and mentioned the tiger cub in the backyard. She said she planned to ask her nephew to go hunting in the mountains, and maybe he could make a lot more money these days. Li Bochen smiled and tried to persuade her, saying that not everyone could do that kind of thing. Don't catch the prey before you get hurt first. I don't know if she listened.
When he was about to fall asleep at night, Li Boxen thought about his own affairs and couldn't help but think about Tao Wenbao again. He must have some back-up plans... Could he be pretending to be sick, keeping the pig thing under wraps for a while, and letting the anger in people's hearts ferment even more?
When he woke up in the morning, Li Bochen realized that his guess might have come true.
Until three o'clock in the morning, Tao Wenbao did not send Tao Dingchen to study literature. When Chen Sangu brought the food, Li Bochen asked casually, and she said that she would call the door in the morning. Tao Gong only said that he was not feeling well and asked her to see the young master off. She went to call Tao Dingchen's door again, but Tao Dingchen said he was too lazy to do so.
Li Bochen thought it was probably Dingchen who wanted to take some time off because his father was lazy. He wondered if he would be punished. He originally wanted to visit the Zhangshan area during the day, but since both of them were at home, he couldn't go out, so he ate, practiced boxing and swordsmanship a few times in the yard, and then returned to the house to meditate on his luck.
He fell into concentration and it was already noon when he opened his eyes again. Then he stretched out and walked out to wait for lunch, thinking in his mind that he had become a rice bug now.
But unexpectedly, he saw Tao Chunxi walking towards the backyard with a hurried expression, followed by a doctor carrying a medicine box.
Li Boxen was stunned. Are Tao Wenbao and Tao Dingchen really sick?
After half an hour, Tao Chunxi sent the doctor out, and the two stood in front of the door and said a few words. After the side door closed, Li Boxen walked over and asked, "Miss Tao, are Mr. Tao and Dingchen sick?"
Tao Chunxi frowned slightly and forced a smile: "Yeah."
She had always been smiling, but now she looked like this. Li Boxen asked: "Are you seriously ill?"
Tao Chunxi sighed softly: "The doctor said it might be due to the cold, but I don't think Dad and Dingchen look alike. I plan to invite another one to take a look."
Li Boxen asked: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Tao Chunxi thought for a while: "Mr. Li is not familiar with the roads in the city, so I'd better go. Mr. Li, I have to ask you for help at home today."
Just as Li Boxen was about to agree, something happened in his heart: "Miss Tao, are you saying that this disease comes from a strange source?"
Tao Chunxi bit her lip: "People from the Kongming Society have been pestering Dad these days. I learned this morning that yesterday they stopped the pigs sent to the city, and today Dad is sick. I think there may be something to do with it. .”
Li Bochen was thinking of this layer, but there were others. He thought for a moment: "Miss Tao, do you know Sister-in-law Zheng?"
"I know. Did she come last night?"
"Miss Tao stopped by Zheng Ersao's butcher shop to have a look." Li Boxen said solemnly, "See if anyone is still there. Be careful on the road. It's best to ask Lao Xu to go with you."
Tao Chunxi's face was stern, and she thought for a moment before saying, "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Li."
She turned around to leave, but Li Bochen couldn't help but said: "Miss Tao, do you believe me like this?"
Three days after he came to Tao's house, something happened to Tao Wenbao. In fact, he was also suspected. But Tao Chunxi obeyed her words, so Li Boxen had to be surprised.
Tao Chunxi smiled: "After listening to what Mr. Li said in Shuxue yesterday, I feel like I know what kind of person you are. Besides, my father just told me that I can ask you for help if I have anything."
Tao Wenbao actually trusted him so much? This was something Li Boxen didn't expect. His heart warmed, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay. I will definitely live up to my mission."
When I saw her the day before yesterday, I saw that she was a slim and beautiful woman, and I thought she had the temperament of an ordinary lady from a wealthy family. But looking at her demeanor when doing things now, I feel that it is really rare. Tao Wenbao's son and daughter are indeed outstanding people.
After she called Lao Xu out of the door, Li Bochen went straight into the backyard. Chen Sangu was busy boiling water and waiting, and asked Li Boxen to go to the kitchen to get some food. Li Bochen responded a few words and then saw the tiger cub in the cage beside the east wall of the backyard. It was just that he was full of energy last night, but now he is languid and lying motionless.
