The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 189 What benefits did Tao Zhen promise you?

Tao Zhen took the remaining strawberries and left.

As soon as she left, Xu Yunzhi came out of the corner and thought to himself, this person is not buying fish, but selling grass... what the hell is grass?

The shopkeeper was slightly surprised when he saw him: "The eldest young master is here."

Xu Yunzhi nodded: "Uncle, if you can't leave, let me come over and have a look."

The shopkeeper nodded.

Xu Yunzhi: "Tao Zhen came to sell fish last year?"

The shopkeeper was surprised: "Do you know Tao Zhen?"

Xu Yunzhi thought for a while and said, "She bought medicine from me."

"Uh..." The shopkeeper didn't ask further: "It was last winter, she came with a young man, who looked like her brother and her husband..."

Xu Yunzhi thought to herself, that was her brother-in-law.

The shopkeeper added: "She looked much worse at that time than she does now. The two of them were wearing big cotton-padded jackets and two cotton trousers. Tao Zhen's hair was still stuck with an old writing brush. She looked poor... like a beggar, and The man had tattoos on his face, and it looked like he was from the exile village. We didn’t have any fish in the store, so they happened to come over to sell it. The fish was pretty good, so I bought it.”

Tao Zhen, who looked like a beggar, said: The shopkeeper summed it up very well. He is not allowed to sum it up next time.

Seeing that Xu Yunzhi was listening seriously, the shopkeeper continued: "It was winter, the river was frozen, and I don't know how they caught the fish. The last time Tao Zhen came to sell fish, I remember it just snowed at that time. Within a few days, it was so cold outside that someone could freeze to death. Tao Zhen seemed to be in a bad mood and said there were a lot of fish and asked me to catch them the next day, so I sent someone to do it."

"They are indeed from the exile village. They live in a thatched house at the entrance of the village. The snow was so heavy that the house almost collapsed. I don't know how they survived. I think Tao Zhen looks good now. He should be living a good life. , this little girl is quite interesting."

Xu Yunzhi didn't say anything for a long time. He had never been to the exile village, but he had heard about it. The legends were always unpleasant. He didn't expect that an optimistic and lively person like Tao Zhen actually came from there, and his life was so miserable.

How did she survive?

Xu Yunzhi suddenly became very interested in Tao Zhen.

……

Tao Zhen didn't have time to pay attention to what Xu Yunzhi thought. She turned around and went to another restaurant and promoted it in the same way. There were actually quite a few restaurants in Ningzhou, and some shopkeepers would patiently listen to Tao Zhen's words. Tao Zhen was not annoyed at all when he was kicked out without even seeing anyone. Door-to-door sales were just like that. It was impossible to get money from other people's pockets without getting a few glares.

After a busy day with Li Hui, Tao Zhen followed Pei Heng back home in the afternoon.

Wang San came back with Pei Zhan, and Li Hui was shocked when he saw him: "Did you fall into the mosquito pile?"

Wang San scratched his head and said, "No, I came out of home yesterday."

Li Hui didn't understand what he meant at first, but when he came to his senses, his face suddenly darkened: "Did Zhao drive you out?"

Li Hui is about to go out to seek justice for Wang San.

Wang San smiled bitterly and stopped him: "Brother, can we calm down?"

Li Hui could not remain calm, but Pei Zhan said: "Let Wang San finish his sentence."

Li Hui had a dark face and said angrily: "What's going on?"

Only then did Wang San tell the story.

Li Hui frowned: "This woman Zhao is really bullying. I knew she was not a good person."

Wang San said dullly: "Don't go, brother, I have nothing to do with them in the future anyway."

Tao Zhen saw that Wang San was in a low mood and knew that anything he said at this time would rub salt into Wang San's wounds, which made him feel the most uncomfortable.

"Where do you live now?" Tao Zhen asked.

Wang San said: "I took the things to the quarry."

Li Hui: "You go to my house to make do with it for a few days. I live alone anyway."

Wang San nodded.

Tao Zhen said: "Let's eat first."

After the group ate, Wang San and Li Hui left first, Mrs. Pei went to wash the dishes, and Tao Zhen sat on a small wooden stool in the yard, looking at the vast Milky Way above her head. "What are you thinking about?" Pei Zhan asked.

From the time he had just eaten, he noticed that Tao Zhen was in a low mood.

Tao Zhen said nothing, just stared at the sky above his head: "Nothing."

In fact, it was really nothing. She just suddenly remembered what happened in her previous life. What happened to Wang San today touched her. She thought of herself, just like Wang San yesterday, isolated and helpless, with nowhere to go for the rest of her life. There is only the way back...

She has no relatives and not many friends. If she dies, she will die. Maybe in a few years, no one will remember her anymore.

Tao Zhen used to feel that it was okay to be a little bitter and tired, maybe it would become sweet after being bitter, but now, she is not sure.

In her previous life, she struggled hard and achieved some success, but she died in the end.

What about this life?

Will it ever be the same?
Pei Zhan always felt that something was not right about Tao Zhen today, that he was unspeakably lonely and lonely.

"Tao Zhen!"

Tao Zhen turned to look at him and asked, "Do you believe in past and present lives?"

Pei Zhan was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Tao Zhen to ask such a question. He thought about it seriously: "I don't believe it."

This answer didn't surprise Tao Zhen at all. He didn't even believe in ghosts and gods, let alone the past and present.

……

Li Hui's house is not big, and the furnishings inside are simple. Fortunately, it is a small kang, so you can still sleep in it if you squeeze it tightly.

Wang San's things were piled in the room, occupying more than half of the space in a mess. They were all old clothes, the bamboo dragonfly he played with when he was a child, a broken water cup, dried clay figurines, a few shuttlecocks with feathers...

Wang San smiled sheepishly: "Brother, I've caused you trouble."

Li Hui glared at him: "What kind of friendship do we have? Are you telling me this?"

Wang San smiled.

Li Hui seemed rough, but in fact he was careful. He noticed Wang San's embarrassment and changed the subject: "What are your plans?"

Wang San really doesn't have any plans now: "Brother, what do you think?"

Li Hui said: "Don't you have any ideas?"

Wang San thought about it most of the night yesterday. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I want to follow Pei Zhan and Tao Zhen."

Li Hui was not surprised by Wang San's decision. Maybe he was a little hesitant yesterday, but after seeing Tao Zhen's things today, he felt that Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan were really capable. They had lived in the exile village for several years. In ten years, I haven’t realized how much they have done in this year.

"I support you, but what about your work in the quarry?"

Wang San smiled and said: "I am a good citizen. I will resign from this job tomorrow. If I walk out, I will never come back."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, apart from Li Hui, there are really no good memories left to Wang San here.

Wang San also risked his life. Anyway, he had nothing and nothing to lose. Tao Zhen's words that day kept echoing in his mind.

He wants to get out of the exile village. From now on, his sons and grandsons should be like the children outside, read and write, understand things, see the sky outside, and never be labeled as an exile village again.

Wang San was an optimistic person. After making the decision, he went to the quarry to quit his job the next day.

Pei Zhan couldn't help but tease him: "What benefits did Tao Zhen promise you?"

Wang San was stunned at that time.

Yes, Tao Zhen said nothing.

"I...Is it too late for me to regret it now?" Wang San asked with a grimace.

Pei Zhan: "It's too late."
