When we arrived at Juxian Building by carriage, someone had already arrived in the private room on the second floor. One was Tai Shule, who was the host, and the other was Cheng Huahan, the chief official.
As a good friend of Tai Shule, Cheng Huahan also helped out in this matter. It was right for Tai Shule to invite him to come with him.
After the four met, they chatted for a while and then sat down at the table. Chai Yan was the one who found Xiao Ming, so he was naturally placed at the top of the table by the three of them.
After the food and wine were served, Tai Shule did not bring a cup to toast first, but instead took out three banknotes from his sleeve, and the denominations were all one hundred taels!
"Uncle Commander, are you...?" Chai Yan was a little stunned.
Tai Shule placed the banknote in front of Chai Yan, patted it gently and said: "Chai Yan, you helped me find my son. This is my little thought, you must accept it!"
"No, I can't accept this money..." Chai Yan immediately refused. He was embarrassed to accept the money.
Chai Yan put the banknote back in front of Taishu Le and said: "Uncle Taishu, actually I have no merit. To be honest, I just met him by chance. That kid Xiao Ming is smart and brave. He even remembers the way home clearly."
Chu, even if I didn't show up, Xiao Ming would have gone home by himself today..."
Taishu Le disagreed, and put the banknote in front of Chai Yan for the second time, saying: "What you said, that brat also said it, but you believe it, but I don't believe it! How can it be possible for a five-year-old boy?
You really remember the circuit, huh! If you get too big, you’ll start bragging. I’ll have to deal with him when I get back!"
"No, I really can't accept it..." Chai Yan was still unwilling, picked up the banknote and put it back.
Tai Shule was a little helpless, so he turned around and shouted: "Old Cheng, please say something!"
Cheng Huahan thought for a while and said: "Chai Yan, let me be fair... You should accept this money!"
"Hey! Lao Cheng is right, you should accept this money!" Tai Shule hurriedly agreed.
Cheng Huahan continued: "Taking a step back, even if Xiao Ming came back by himself today, you were not idle for the past two days, right? For two whole days, you walked around the streets looking for someone from morning to night. There was no credit but also hardship.
Thank you! What's more, you did bring Xiao Ming home today in person! So, you have to collect these banknotes..."
Tai Shule nodded again: "Yes! What Lao Cheng said is so right!"
Jimo Qiao became impatient after hearing this, and said, "Just accept it if I tell you to. Lao Le doesn't lack this little money, right Lao Le..."
"That's right! Miss Jimo is right! Hahaha..." Tai Shule burst out laughing after saying this.
Chai Yan then responded to everyone's request and accepted three 100-tael silver notes.
As a result, the atmosphere in the private room became cheerful and harmonious, and everyone began to toast and drink, chatting about topics from all over the world.
Chai Yan noticed that Jimo Qiao had been drinking without stopping, so he softly advised: "Drink less, you will get drunk..."
Jimo Qiao said: "You are just drunk. Look at yourself, your face is red!"
Chai Yan is the kind of person who blushes whenever he drinks alcohol, but whether he is drunk or not is another matter.
Chai Yan snatched her cup and said: "You are a girl, why do you imitate men's drinking? Who cares if you get drunk and make a fool of yourself?"
Jimo Qiao didn't even think about it and blurted out: "It's up to you! If you want to be my brother-in-law, who cares if you don't care about me?"
"Hahaha......."
"Hehehe..."
When Tai Shule and Cheng Huahan heard this sentence, they laughed out loud.
Just as the atmosphere was getting heated, a waiter suddenly knocked on the door outside the private room: "Is Mr. Tai Shule in there?"
Tai Shu Le felt a little disappointed, so he went over to open the door and asked in a deep voice: "I am Tai Shu Le, why are you looking for me?"
"Master Tai Shu Le, an old man came down below, claiming to be your child's grandmother. He said angrily that he wanted to see you and said there was something urgent..."
Tai Shule looked startled and immediately ordered: "Ask her to come up quickly!"
Soon, Tai Shuming's grandmother followed the waiter to the private room.
"Mother-in-law, why are you here alone? Where is Xiao Ming?"
The uncle was displeased to see his mother-in-law come with her son, and she looked worried. A chill ran down his back, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Could it be that my son has disappeared again?
Grandma Xiao Ming gasped and said: "Daughter...son-in-law! Huhu...you, you, you...your wife is here...she, she...
....She took Xiao Ming... away!"
"What!?"
Not only Tai Shule was shocked, Cheng Huahan was also so surprised that he was speechless.
"How could she know? She shouldn't be!" Taishu Lebai was puzzled and began to pace around the room.
Cheng Huahan was the first to react and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Tai Shule and said: "Don't be stunned, go home and take a look. With your wife's temper, something might happen!"
"Yes, yes, Lao Cheng, you are right, I will go back right now, I have to go back quickly..."
Taishu Le didn't care much, so he rushed out of the private room and ran downstairs.
Tai Shule's mother-in-law also stumbled away when she saw this.
Jimo Qiao was curious and asked Cheng Huahan: "Old Cheng, what do you mean by what you just said? Does Lao Le's wife have a bad temper?"
Cheng Huahan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "More than just smelly, the word fierce wife is more appropriate to describe her!"
Jimo Qiao said in surprise: "So scary?"
Cheng Huahan thought about it and felt something was wrong, so he walked out: "No, I have to go and have a look, but don't really cause trouble!"
"Let's go too!" Jimo Qiao immediately signed up to participate, pulling Chai Yan away.
Chai Yan whispered to Jimo Qiao: "Do we need to join in the fun of other people's housework?"
Jimo Qiao immediately gave Chai Yan a slap and said indignantly: "You just accepted Lao Le's money and you turned around and stopped recognizing him?"
"You..." Chai Yan smiled helplessly: "This is different, these are two different things!"
"Stop talking about it! Just go if you are told!" After Jimo Qiao said this, he stopped talking nonsense to Chai Yan. After going downstairs, he ordered the coachman to prepare for departure.
The three of them drove to Taishu Le's house in a carriage.
While riding in the car, Jimo Qiao curiously asked Cheng Huahan: "Old Cheng, how fierce is that fierce wife of the old Le family?"
"How brave?" Cheng Huahan said in a deep voice without a trace of a smile on his face: "A few years ago, Lao Le had an affair with a maid in his family. His wife soon found out about it, and Tai Shu Le proposed to take the maid as his concubine.
, his wife did not object at that time, but guess what happened the next day..."
"What's wrong?" Jimo Qiao opened his eyes wide, looking forward to what he would say next.
