General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 208 Margaery

Margaery was a little confused.

But after listening to her daughter Emily's gesture translation, the expression on her face suddenly became a little happy and a little eager.

Margery gestured quickly, walked out of the stall again, and came to the front of Skylark.

Emily followed over, her little baby face showing some confusion.

"My mother said that the taste of our meat and vegetables is... developed by my father himself, and it tastes different from other people's roasted meat. She... she also wanted to ask the distinguished guest, what are you looking at at Shampoo Place? What does the man who arrived here look like, grilling meat and vegetables? If the guest knows his name, thank you very much."

Skylark gradually opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and exclaimed as if he suddenly realized:

"Could it be that... that barbecue uncle named Old Tommy is your husband and Emily's father? No wonder your meat and water taste exactly the same. It turns out we are a family."

When she heard the words "Old Tommy", Margaery's eyes instantly turned red, and there were faint tears.

Her body trembled slightly, she bit her lower lip, suppressed her excitement, and made gestures.

"Mom said, the man named Old Tommy is fat, a little old, has some gray hair, is a little taller than my mother, and walks with a slight limp."

"Sorry, I didn't look that carefully. However, that old Uncle Tommy is indeed a bit fat. Brother Rorschach, do you remember?"

After hearing what Emily said, Skylark scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Rorschach with pleading eyes.

Seeing the expectant looks in the eyes of Margery and Emily, Rorschach moved his lips and nodded.

"Yes, the old Tommy we met in the Shampoo Islands looked like what you said. Moreover, we also learned from his chat that he had a beautiful place in the lower city of the Seven Waters Capital. A kind wife and a lively and lovely daughter..."

After listening to Rorschach's words, tears in Margery's red eyes could no longer be held back, and burst out of her eyes and flowed down her cheeks.

While shedding tears, an eager look appeared on Margaery's face, and she made gestures again.

The little girl Emily grabbed her mother's trouser leg in confusion and looked up at Rorschach.

"My mother said, dad...is he doing well there?"

Rorschach's heart trembled, a slightly stiff smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded: "He lived a good life over there in Shambaud. Old Uncle Tommy's barbecue skills are very good, and his barbecue stall business is quite good. He and I said, I want to make a little more money and then go back to my hometown so that his wife and daughter can live a good life."

Margaery smiled and cried, hugging her daughter tightly.

Great.

That stubborn old guy Tommy didn't die in the tsunami a few years ago.

It turned out that he had gone to the Chambord Islands.

Margery didn't know where the shampoo place was.

But thinking about it, it must be a good place without the threat of tsunami, right?

Tommy is also serious about making more money.

Many years ago, he complained that the houses in the lower city were not good and would be flooded and soaked by the sea water every year when the Lakulana tsunami came.

Although under the protection of Mayor Bingshan, the lives of residents in the lower city will not be in danger.

But Tommy still fantasized about being able to buy a house in Uptown and move there with her and Emily.

Preferably closer to Carrera Corporation.

In that case, not to mention that the tsunami would not threaten their family's safety, even if some blind pirates attacked, they would be protected by the powerful Carrera Company boatmen.

At that time, Margery always said that Tommy was too naive and daydreaming.

Even though he promised that he would make a lot of money with the new barbecue recipe he developed.

But doesn’t he know how expensive the houses in the upper city are?

That's something they, the common people in the lower city, can't afford even if they earn a lifetime of money.

Margaery actually felt that there was nothing wrong with the houses in the lower city.

At least every year after the tsunami Lakulana recedes, a high concentration of high-grade sea salt will be left on the streets and rooftops of the downtown area.

At that time, it was the happiest day for ordinary people like them.

Because you can collect those high-grade sea salts and sell them to merchants in the uptown area, earning a huge sum of money.

But it would be great if he was okay.

God bless.Margery wiped away her tears and calmed down her ups and downs. After apologizing to Luo Xach and the other three, she started busy with the barbecue.

She wanted to serve the most delicious barbecued meat to the three guests in front of her who had brought her news about her husband.

About half an hour later, when the customers who had finished the barbecue left satisfied, Margery began to clean up the stall.

Today is a really lucky day.

Not only did she learn that her husband was not dead, but she also met a group of kind-hearted guests who ate up all the ingredients she had prepared today.

Although Margery gave them a [-]% discount to express her gratitude, the remaining money was equivalent to the Baileys that could only be earned in two or three days on weekdays.

As she lowered her head to wipe the stall, she suddenly noticed a thick stack of large-denomination Bailey bills placed in the corner of the trolley.

Margery was startled and quickly picked up the pile of Baileys, turned around and looked in the direction where the guests had left.

not good!

The guest left his money behind.

The customer will be very anxious after losing so much money.

Without thinking, Margaery quickly gestured to her daughter, telling her to stay here and not move. She clutched the thick stack of Baileys and quickly chased in the direction where the guest left.

Margaery ran very fast.

Running out of breath.

But as she ran, her steps slowly stopped.

The expression on Margaery's face gradually changed from eager to dull.

She just stood frozen on the road beside the waterway, staring blankly at the endless winding water.

In his mind, the image of Skylark smiling, the stiff smile of Luo Xia flashed, and the silent Luo Xia flashed.

Margaery looked down at the stack of Baileys she was holding in her hands.

Suddenly, this woman who could neither hear nor speak seemed to understand something.

The strength in the body seemed to have been drained.

She squatted down little by little, holding Bailey tightly in her hands. Her empty eyes were gradually filled with gray despair.

At the moment when tears as hot as lava were about to burst out of his eyes.

Margaery saw the navy boy with silver hair and blue eyes running back panting, gesturing towards her awkwardly, and then pointed at the stack of baileys she was holding in her hand.

Margery was stunned for a moment, and then the gray in her eyes faded little by little.

She wiped the tears from her eyes with some embarrassment, stood up, and hurriedly handed the money in her hand to the navy boy.

"Auntie, thank you. I'm really sorry. I was so focused on the barbecue just now that I forgot the money at your stall. I'm sorry that I bothered you to send the money all the way. This is my thanks. "

Rorschach scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, and then quickly took out two Baileys with a face value of [-] from the pile of large Baileys, and stuffed them into Margaery's hands.

How could Margaery be willing to accept it?

Although she couldn't hear what Rorschach was saying, she knew from the other party's actions that the guest wanted to thank her.

But I must not take it myself.

She was about to push back the money that the boy had put into her hand.

When he looked up, he saw that the young man in front of him was just as he had come, smiling and waving his hand, and ran away like a gust of wind.

Margaery pursed her lips and stared blankly at the two piles of Baileys worth ten thousand crumpled up in her hands, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

She took a deep breath, folded the two Baileys solemnly, put them into her pocket, and returned to the barbecue stall along the way she came.

From a distance, Margery saw her sensible daughter Emily, clumsily packing away the barbecue tools.

There was a hint of pity in Margaery's eyes and she hurried over.

She decided to tell Emily her father's story tonight and how to be an honest and trustworthy person.
