Chapter 9 Is Xiao Cheng sick?

The old hen clucked a few times, lowered her head and pecked at the vegetable leaves to eat.

In addition to the chicken coop, there is also a piece of land in the backyard, which is not very big, and it is lush green as far as the eye can see.

There are cabbage, lettuce, sweet barley... There is also a circle of white radishes planted on the side, all of them are fat and thick, half of their bodies protruding from the mud, and the garden is full of greenery.

Xiao Cheng doesn't stay at home for two or three days, and he doesn't want to stay in the original body, and he hasn't been to the backyard, let alone grow vegetables and raise chickens. These are all the fruits of Xiaowei's labor!
Bai Lu admired and felt sad, took away the eggs, picked some cabbage, and washed them.

Drain in a small bamboo sieve.

I practiced military boxing again in the yard to exercise my body before going out slowly.

"Wandering, wandering, thousands of miles of torrents, the river will never stop, it will be washed away, and the worldly affairs..."

The radio in Li Shuixian's store was playing on the beach, and she sang along to it. The stray dogs on the side of the road were so disgusted by the sound, they bared their teeth and ran away.

There is no one who can spoil the classic golden songs of the era like this.

Bearing the risk of her ears being killed by the polluted sound, Bai Lu walked in and knocked on the cash register.

Li Shuixian howled in a small tune and turned around, smiling until her eyes narrowed: "Lulu is here."

Before scratching the money, he still pointed to the new tape recorder and introduced it to Bai Lu: "This thing is called a tape recorder. You must have never seen it before. This is a new baby. Our family has it in the whole town. My husband just left the city yesterday. I brought it back here, and bought it for more than 800 yuan!"

"Look, this is called an antenna. I heard that it can search channels and listen to programs. It's new!" Li Shuixian said and began to point fingers, insisting on performing for Bai Lu.

"Besides, this tape recorder can also sing. You see, put a tape in here, and you can sing immediately. It's also very easy to learn. I can sing after two times. Listen to how beautiful I sang just now. Like, it’s not that different from what’s sung in it, is it?”

Before Bai Lu could answer, Li Shuixian sang a section on the spot, howling like hell, howling like ghosts and wolves.

If it wasn't enough, the fat hands and feet began to shake wildly.

Bai Lu quietly watched her go mad.

When she looked over, she also showed expressions of surprise, shock, and admiration.

Li Shuixian's vanity was greatly satisfied. After showing off, she took a small handkerchief and asked her while wiping off her sweat: "How much did Xiao Cheng give you when he came back last night?"

"1000 dollars."

Bai Lu stretched out a finger, the stupid appearance was exactly the same as before.

"1000 yuan! That's a lot!" Li Shuixian's eyes glowed golden, and he looked directly into her pockets.

"Where's the money? Where did you put it? Did you bring it? Give it to me quickly, I'll buy you a better ticket, a sleeper, not only can you sit, but you can also sleep, in a separate compartment!"

Bai Lu honestly shook her head: "He's going back again."

"Here, why do you have to go back after giving it! What's going on?" Li Shuixian was dubious and worried.

Bai Lu was also very anxious, and grabbed the hem of her clothes and said, "He said that I gave the money to my younger brother, and he won't give me any money in the future."

Li Shuixian frowned: "Why would he say that? Didn't you not give it? Didn't you explain it?"

"I explained." Bai Lu looked aggrieved: "I even took out the 100 yuan. Xiao Cheng took the money back, but still didn't believe it. He said that I didn't give it to my brother, why was there only 100 yuan left, and asked me to buy it all." what."

"I can't tell..."

Seeing the 1000 yuan wasted in vain, Li Shuixian felt pain all over her body, "Xiao Cheng must be sick!"

"You have been living here for more than two months, and you don't need to buy food or anything. How long can you spend more than 500 yuan, and you will use up a few sets of clothes when you go out on the street."

After gritting her teeth and cursing, Li Shuixian looked at Bai Lu with hatred, "Then what should we do now?"

"There's not enough money to buy a ticket."

Bai Lu's face was full of sadness, sadness and despair, her eyes were red with anxiety: "I, I don't know either."

She couldn't just say yes, that would be too obvious.

Not to mention the money, she will throw the lead, no matter how detoured, there is only one way in the end.

And this method can only be mentioned by Li Shuixian. If she mentions it, Li Shuixian will definitely be wary and won't believe her.

Bai Lu stood aside dryly, digging at the counter with her fingers, looking hopefully at Li Shuixian.

After thinking about it, Li Shuixian stared at her over and over again, and tentatively asked: "Does Xiao Cheng mean that, as long as you can prove that you didn't give the money to your brother, you will continue to give money to your family in the future?"

Bai Lu bit her lower lip and shook her head ignorantly: "I don't know, that's what he said. Anyway, no matter how much money I give you, you will give it to your brother. It's better not to give it."

"Whatever he wants to buy in the future, he will buy it."

Xiao Cheng's way is Ziye, he knows all kinds of religions, and he will definitely not buy things in Li Shuixian's shop.

Li Shuixian has seen that Xiao Cheng hooked up with the boss of the rice processing factory. Maybe in the future, all the rice will be taken from Boss Mi, and she will not earn a penny.

Not to mention the 1000 yuan.

"Xiao Cheng really told you that?" Li Shuixian still had doubts, but it wasn't Bai Lu, a fool, but Xiao Cheng, a shrewd and ruthless bully.

Bai Lu didn't blush, her heart didn't beat, she nodded earnestly without panting: "Yes."

"Xiao Cheng has seen my younger brother come to me several times, and always thinks that I gave my younger brother the money."

Li Shuixian squinted her eyes, she definitely wanted 1000 yuan, and she also thought of the method.

But a little risky, she's still thinking about it.

Diagonally across the street, there is a bicycle shop. Inside, a group of aggressive men are collecting payment from the boss with a reminder from the supplier.

"Brother Cheng, isn't that sister-in-law?"

The man with a cigarette in his mouth raised his chin toward the street and said to the man beside him.

The man looked up, took down the cigarette in his mouth, lit it in the ashtray at the boss's counter, and extinguished it.

The slender white fingertips wiped the corners of the lips, and the tone was light: "Yes."

Xiao Dazhuang, who collected the money with a sack, came over, "What is my sister-in-law doing there? That store is a scam, should we go over and support my sister-in-law?"

The other man nodded in agreement.

My sister-in-law is stupid and simple, if she goes to a black shop to buy things, she can't cheat Brother Cheng of all his money.

Xiao Cheng withdrew his gaze, sat down on the wooden chair, raised one leg, and said indifferently: "No need."

The brothers immediately shut up.

It's because they are meddling. The relationship between Brother Cheng and his sister-in-law is not good. They will meddle in their own business.

The shop owner made tea for Xiao Cheng very attentively, and didn't dare to ask a word, let alone chase him away.

"Who else is missing?" Xiao Cheng asked.

Luo Shiliu knew what he was asking, and replied, "Boss Li at the sand and gravel yard at the city wharf, went to other places for business a few days ago, and I found out that he will be back in the next two days."

The last order.

Xiao Cheng picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

"The proprietress actually gave the sister-in-law money, what's the matter?" Wang Hao went out to throw a cigarette butt, his face full of surprise.
