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

Chapter 26 How do I know?

Tao Zhen quickly found out what happened to Zhang Boutou.

Because Li Hui came in the afternoon, he said so.

The stones produced in the quarry every month will be sent away to build the city wall or for offensive and defensive purposes. At the end of the month, a sum of money will be taken away to use for the daily expenses of the quarry and to pay the wages of the workers.

But the money was withheld by Zhang's head, which happened on the day Pei Zhan was injured. The wages were not paid on time. There had been examples of delayed wages in the past, so no one paid attention.

It wasn't until yesterday that the workers made a fuss and the inspector came over. At first they didn't know what was going on because the money had been delivered a long time ago. After checking among the workers for a long time, they found out that Zhang had stolen the head. I went to look for Zhang Baotou where he lived, but Zhang Baotou was not there. I searched all the places he could go but there was no trace of him. Zhang Baotou, a living person, just disappeared.

No one was seen alive, and no body was seen dead, which further confirmed that he stole money.

Li Hui scolded: "This bastard took the money and thought he could run away? He will definitely not be able to go back to Ningzhou City. He can only go outside the Great Wall, but there are foreign barbarians outside the Great Wall. He can't survive even if he goes there."

Li Hui was talking about a common speculation. Everyone hates Zhang Tou. He didn't do many good things in the quarry. Now that he is gone, many people will step on him, even the one who recommended him to join the quarry. People were also implicated.

Li Hui also said to Pei Zhan: "Your salary has been calculated. You can just collect it yourself in a few days. By the way, do you know Mr. Huo from the Inspection Department?"

Pei Zhan said: "That's right."

Li Huidao: "Now that you are here, you can work with confidence."

Without Zhang Bituou, if Pei Zhan doesn't want to do it, it's not impossible to make some changes.

Tao Zhen came to Li Hui to talk about this matter. She asked: "Brother Li, is there any way? Pei Zhan's body can't bear even working in shifts. He really can't do heavy work anymore, so it doesn't matter if he spends some money."

Li Hui said happily: "I know a few people who are all from the quarry. Let me help you ask. It doesn't take too much money. A few taels of silver is enough."

Tao Zhen thanked him again.

After Li Hui left, her face fell.

The Pei family couldn't afford a few taels of silver now, and she wasn't willing to sell the jade bracelet unless it was a last resort.

Pei Zhan saw her like this. Pei Zhan changed his gentleness and looked at Tao Zhen with cold suspicion.

Tao Zhen frowned: "Why are you looking at me like this?" Pei Zhan said: "Don't think that you can make up for anything by doing this."

Tao Zhen "..."

She had no time to argue with Pei Zhan, and she didn't want to reason with him. Pei Zhan simply wouldn't believe it. No matter what she was doing now, it all had a purpose in Pei Zhan's eyes.

But there is no point in saying this now, let’s wait until they survive this winter.

Tao Zhen hesitated and asked, "Did Zhang really take the money and run away?"

Pei Zhan looked at her and sneered: "What do you think?"

Tao Zhen got goosebumps all over his body from his laughter, and her expression management instantly broke down. She laughed dryly: "I...how do I know!"

Pei Zhan lowered his eyes: "Then I don't know. I heard that there are wolves in the mountains to the north. Maybe I will encounter them and there will be no bones left..."

Tao Zhen "..."

Tao Zhen turned around and ran away without even closing the door.

It wasn't until she returned to her room and closed the door that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it, why does Pei Lao Er look like a pervert and smile so scary?

Tao Zhen lay on the bed and thought about what happened in the past few days.The more I thought about it, the more I felt that maybe all of this was arranged by Pei Zhan.

From his injury to the loss of the money, it all happened on the same day. Everyone in the quarry was there that day. Only Pei Zhan was assigned a heavy job and separated from the crowd. Maybe it was Pei Zhan who stole the money.

As for Zhang Boutou, maybe he really has a crush on Pei Zhan, or maybe he just wants to use Pei Zhan to steal money for him...

No matter what the truth was, Tao Zhen didn't have the courage to ask Pei Meiren.

She cowardly!
