Chapter 102 Inquiry
"Boss Chen of Tianzhilou? I know, but I don't know much." Zhang Ke answered truthfully.

Seeing this, Li Shishi asked, "Then tell me everything you know."

"Okay." Zhang Ke nodded and said: "Tianzhilou has been here for seven or eight years if not ten years. Before that, the boss was a small businessman, running outside for many years. There is a daughter-in-law at home. I met her when Zhilou first opened. She was very enthusiastic, but she was not good at it. During that time, shopkeeper Chen went to the tavern to drink every day, and he would be scolded when he drank. The couple quarreled every day, and later I heard that his wife was sick , and gradually stopped going to Tianzhilou. Shopkeeper Chen is in charge now."

Li Shishi nodded, and then asked: "Do you know Boss Ding of the winery well?"

"Boss Ding? That widow?" Zhang Ke asked

"It should be the woman who appeared at the temple fair that day." Li Shishi said.

As soon as Zhang Ke heard that it was her, a contemptuous expression appeared on his face and said: "There is no one in our town who doesn't know her. This wine shop is not hers, it is her dead husband, a bad old man, Abandoning the filthy wife, and getting such a vixen. After killing the old man's original wife, she became a big wife. She also gave birth to a stupid son for the old man, and the old man died within two years. I heard them say, This child doesn’t seem to belong to this old man.”

Li Shishi was quite surprised when she heard it: "You still know about this?"

Zhang Ke blushed and said: "I also heard from others that the drinks in our restaurant belong to their family. I have dealt with her for so many years. You said, a widow still takes her son with her, so she can't worry about running the business." For business, I dress up like a living ghost every day, and wink at the gang of stinky old men who drink in the wine shop when I have nothing to do. I am old and shameless!"

Li Shishi looked at Zhang Ke's nonchalant expression, and said with a smile: "I think the proprietress looks pretty good. You don't seem to like her very much?"

"Her?" Zhang Ke raised his eyebrows: "She is the only one who looks good, but that person has a lot of eyes. They say she has a heart in her eyes. You have to be careful with her."

"It can be seen that she is very shrewd." Li Shishi said truthfully, and then asked: "Does the boss of Tianzhilou have anything to do with her?"

Zhang Ke thought for a while when he heard this, and then shook his head: "I'm not sure about this. As I said just now, Boss Chen has always been afraid of his wife. Even if there is any relationship between them, few people probably know. But you Saying this reminds me, and I can help you find out."

Li Shishi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Can we still find out about this?"

"Hey. What's the problem?" Zhang Ke waved his hand and said, "If you're interested, I'll ask you about it. It's easy to do. The old lady sitting in front of my house knows a lot more than me. .”

"However, I'm afraid it's not good for you, a gentleman, to inquire about this matter." Li Shishi asked hesitantly.

Zhang Ke said indifferently: "Don't worry about this matter, I must find out for you."

"Okay! Then I have to trouble you."

"No problem!" Zhang Ke swore.

Li Shishi sent the boiled medicine to Aunt Wu, and boiled a pot of anti-fetal medicine prescribed by the doctor.

Zhang Ke went out to inquire about Li Shishi's affairs.

Li Shishi was still sitting by the stove watching the fire, and carefully stroked what Zhang Ke said.

She always felt that there must be a connection between these three people, and there was no such coincidence.

How did the formula end up in the hands of shopkeeper Chen by such a coincidence? How did shopkeeper Chen's secret recipe happen to be so coincidental that Wu Tiansheng won.

Gambling in this day and age is punishable by imprisonment.

It is estimated that Wu Tiansheng kept silent because he knew about it.

It was precisely because shopkeeper Chen knew about it that he followed suit and waited for Wu Tiansheng to come in.

If this link is buckled one by one, even the most shrewd people can't count them.

But since this matter can be found to be suspicious, it means that Li Shishi has a chance to fight back.

It's just that Wu Tiansheng doesn't see anyone behind closed doors now, so Li Shishi is still somewhat concerned.

What's the matter with a big man who hides when he encounters a problem but doesn't solve it?
Looking at Wu Tiansheng's five big and three rough, he didn't expect that there would be a day of numb claws.

Zhao Tianshun got a lesson, Wu Tiansheng naturally couldn't let it go.

Li Shishi is not someone who is willing to suffer, but she is now waiting for the opportunity to fight back.

When the medicine was almost ready, the narrow room where Wu Tiansheng lived opened the door.

Li Shishi didn't turn her head when she heard the voice, and pretended not to hear it.

She could feel Wu Tiansheng standing behind her, and she wanted to look back.

But when she thought about what happened before, she felt angry, so she deliberately ignored him.

Not long after, Li Shishi heard a thumping sound behind her.

Then she looked back, and saw Wu Tiansheng was kneeling behind her, his clothes were sloppy and his hair was unkempt. It was obvious from a glance that he hadn't had a good rest during this time.

Li Shishi only glanced at her and then turned around and said, "Kneeling to the sky and kneeling to my parents, what's the matter with you coming here? You are a big man, hurry up and don't embarrass yourself here."

Li Shishi was not polite, and she didn't want to be polite either.

She has worked hard to prepare things for such a long time, and others will take them away if they say so. She is not such a magnanimous person, so she can't bear it.

Neither wanting to talk to Wu Tiansheng nor helping him, so she got up and carried the medicine jar with a cloth and went into the small kitchen.

When she came out again with the medicine in hand, Wu Tiansheng was still kneeling silently.

Li Shishi didn't have the time to talk to him, so she passed Wu Tiansheng without even looking at him, and walked towards Wu's house.

Just two steps away, Wu Tiansheng called out behind her.

Li Shishi just paused for a moment, and continued to move forward without stopping.

Wu Tiansheng knelt and took a few steps forward, and said tearfully, "I'm sorry, Sister Shishi, I was wrong!"

It is a shameful thing for an old man to kneel and howl in the yard.

He probably knew that it was embarrassing for him to do so, so he only cried a few times and suppressed his tears.

Li Shishi ignored him and went directly to Wu's house.

Wu Tiansheng knew that Li Shishi was really angry this time, and he also knew how stupid what he did was.

Several times before, he wanted to hang himself in the room, but thinking of his mother and daughter-in-law, he tore off the rope that was already hanging on the beam.

He knew when Li Shishi came today, but he never dared to come out.

After Zhang Ke left, the man who had done something wrong finally mustered up the courage to come out and apologize.

Just looking at Li Shishi's state, it seems that she doesn't intend to forgive.

Thinking back on what he did during this period of time, Wu Tiansheng almost regretted it.

He didn't know what he should do to forgive his sin, so he could only kneel in the courtyard like a fool.

When Li Shishi came out after feeding the medicine, he was still kneeling.

It's just that he hasn't eaten in the past two days, and he's a little weak. When he knelt on the ground, he was so uncomfortable that his whole body trembled.

His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, his ears seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and he was in a daze.

It wasn't until Li Shishi's voice sounded from his ears that Wu Tiansheng came back to his senses.

"Get up and tell me what's wrong with you?"
