From the appearance, Mrs. Zhuang was a very kind and enthusiastic old lady. She thought Bai Youyou was Zhuang Shiyan's good friend, so she asked Zhuang Shiyan to take care of Bai Youyou by pouring tea and water. She also asked Bai Youyou whose daughter she was.
How could he remember their house and force Bai Youyou to stay for dinner?
It is worth mentioning that,
Mrs. Zhuang’s condition.
Although she was very warm to others, in the blink of an eye, she forgot who Bai Youyou was, and asked Bai Youyou her name and whether she was Zhuang Shiyan's good friend.
Looking at her appearance, it is obvious that she suffers from Alzheimer's disease, which is highly prevalent among modern elderly people.
How could a person with Alzheimer's disease abuse his daughter-in-law?
After Bai Youyou stayed for a while, she left the banker's house. Before leaving, Zhuang Shiyan came to see her off and said to her at the door: "Thank you."
"no need thank me?"
Bai Youyou is a little strange.
"Thank you for not mentioning money and wealth." Zhuang Shiyan laughed. When he smiled, two shallow dimples were revealed on his cheeks, as well as pointed little tiger teeth. They were very clear and very youthful.
gas.
The young man's eyes seemed to be shining: "Because the people who came here before promised me not to mention money to attract wealth, but in the end they all mentioned money to attract wealth."
So that’s it.
Bai Youyou laughed.
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Although I am only a girl, I understand the meaning of this sentence. Okay, I'll leave first."
After Bai Youyou finished speaking, she raised her legs and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, she seemed to have thought of something and turned around again: "By the way, Zhuang Shiyan, I don't really believe that you will be the wealthy tiger and leopard that others say.
I live in Yingyue Inn, you are welcome to come see me at any time."
Bai Youyou waved to Zhuang Shiyan coolly, and when she walked to the corner, she could still feel Zhuang Shiyan's gaze.
She couldn't help but turned her head and glanced at Zhuang Shiyan. Zhuang Shiyan was still standing by the door. He was holding a book in his hand and standing upright, like a pine tree. When he met her eyes, he laughed again.
The smile is bright and sunny, and innocent.
Such a person is nothing like the beast that others say.
So, how did money attract wealth die?
Bai Youyou went to the neighborhood again to inquire about the news.
At first, everyone firmly stated that the people who killed Qian Zhaocai were the banker's mother and son, and it was the banker's mother and son who killed Qian Zhaocai and committed suicide. However, as Bai Youyou inquired in depth, she soon learned that, in fact,
They did not see the banker's mother and son abusing Qian Zhaocai, but they often saw Qian Zhaocai sitting by the river and crying bitterly. Sometimes there were bruises and bruises on her feet and body. These signs showed that she was in the banker's house.
Suffered.
Since I didn't see it with my own eyes, the death of Qian Zhaocai may not necessarily have something to do with the banker's mother and son.
Bai Youyou had a hunch that as long as she found out the cause of Qian Zhaocai's death, she might be one step closer to the truth she was looking for.
Qian Zhaocai died half a year ago.
And the heart-breaking thing started a month and a half ago. Although the time doesn't match up very well, if we insist on it, we can barely make some connections.
After inquiring about the news, Bai Youyou bought some clothing materials and returned to the inn. At this moment, the inn was still bustling. The second waiter, Jining, was greeting the guests. When he saw Bai Youyou, he immediately shrank into a ball and timidly helped the guests.
After serving the wine, we hurried to the backyard.
Bai Youyou:......
This is completely to avoid her like a snake and a scorpion.
Bai Youyou was too lazy to pay attention to Ji Ning anymore. She walked to the empty counter and said, "Is there anyone there? I want to stay for a few more days. I paid here, right?"
Bai Youyou shouted several times, but still no one paid attention. Just when she was about to come down to renew her subscription at night, suddenly, a magnetic voice came from behind her: "You pay here."
Bai Youyou turned her head,
Then she saw a man wearing dark green robes slowly walking towards her.
The man is extremely handsome.
He still looks like a handsome young man coming out of a painting, but unlike Ji Ning, his eyebrows are deeper. If Ji Ning is an ink painting with water on it, then he is the thick-faced type without water on it. He is so handsome.
Outrageous.
As soon as he appears,
The whole hall lost all its color,
It was as if he was the only one left in the world, and everything else was just a backdrop.
this,
This is too pretty.
Bai Youyou couldn't help but take two steps back.
The man quickly came to the counter and took out the account book skillfully: "Girl, do you want to continue to stay in the hotel?"
"Yes, it is."
Bai Youyou took a deep breath and quickly calmed down: "I just wanted to ask how much it costs for one night here."
"Have you ever lived here?"
The man raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Youyou.
"Is...what's the problem with this?"
The man smiled slightly: "No problem. What I mean is that since you have stayed for one night, it will naturally be based on the previous price."
Bai Youyou:......
"The previous price?" She closed her eyes and laughed again: "Brother Ji Ning saw that I was good-looking, so he gave me free rent, so can I stay here for free?"
man:……
The smile slowly cracked, the corners of his mouth tightened, and he told Bai Youyou, "Girl, wait a minute," and then shouted toward the kitchen: "Jining, get out of here."
His tone was still neither urgent nor slow, neither salty nor bland.
But a few seconds later, Ji Ning appeared in front of the counter, with a face as if he was facing an enemy: "First, sir, what do you want to see me for?"
As he spoke, he looked around, and when he saw Bai Youyou in front of the counter, his eyes immediately widened.
Then he took two steps back suddenly: "Yes, it's you, you, what did you say to our husband?"
Then he looked at the man again: "Sir, don't listen to her nonsense, I really..."
"Shut up." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the man. He looked at Ji Ning coldly: "Look at the good things you have done. Now you have learned to take advantage of others, right? Look at this little girl.
If you are good-looking, you will be free of charge. Do you run this inn?"
Jin Ning was scolded so harshly that he was a little confused and subconsciously said: "Free, free room fee?"
"How could I give her free room fee?!"
Ji Ning reacted quickly. He looked at Bai Youyou with a look of realization on his face. He was a little angry: "It was you and my husband who told me to give you free room rent? You little girl, you look so pretty, why?
How can you be able to spit on others? Oh, I know, it must be because I look down on you, and you hate me because of your love, right? Ah, I really didn’t expect you to be such a person. If I had known I shouldn’t have let you in last night
."
"Let me tell you sir, I didn't give her free room at all. She knocked on the door last night. I didn't want to open the door at first. Who knew she was willing to pay fifty taels of silver for one night? Of course I don't want to pay this price.
Hui refused, so he let her in. If you don't believe me, sir, you can ask Yan Gao, we were together last night."
Ji Ning hurriedly explained to the man. Seeing his anxious look, Bai Youyou knew that this man's identity must be unusual.
Judging from the man's previous reaction, he must not have known that Ji Ning had received fifty taels of silver from her.
then--
Bai Youyou's eyes were red and she said pitifully: "Brother Ji Ning, how could you do this? Didn't you ask me to borrow those fifty taels of silver? You said you wanted to buy those who had died at a low price.
House, wait until the situation calms down before selling the house at a high price. We had a good talk this morning, but now you actually say that this is the rent I gave you..."
"Fifty taels of silver. Which inn costs fifty taels of silver for a night's stay? No matter how stupid I am, I can't spend so much money for a night's stay. Brother Ji Ning, I know you love money. You're like this
It's nothing to me, but what I can't bear is that you used such a clumsy lie to explain the fifty taels of silver I gave you."
