Agriculturist businesswoman reborn in the countryside

Chapter 74
Tang Mai stepped forward to say hello, "Hi Uncle Li, Aunt Li."

"Hey, Maier, why are you here?" As soon as shopkeeper Li finished speaking, Tang Mai was pulled over by Mrs. Li who smiled gently and satisfied, "You are Maier, right?"

Tang Mai nodded, why did she feel that Mrs. Li's appearance made her feel terrified.

"Hey, master, don't tell me, even though I'm young now, it's definitely good when I grow up."

Tang Mai, "..."

Tang Mai could only smile awkwardly, and said shyly, "Aunt Li, Sister Li is pretty."

After chatting with the enthusiastic Li family for a while, Tang Mai finally stated the purpose of coming here, "Uncle Li, I want to ask you a favor, can I?"

"Mai'er, what's the matter, just tell me." Shopkeeper Li said heartily. In the eyes of Shopkeeper Li, he really regarded Tang Mai as his future daughter-in-law. After all, heirlooms have been given away. Are you kidding me?

"It's like this, my mother pawned a silver hairpin to the pawn shop, but the shopkeeper insisted that he didn't take it, and kicked me out. When I went to find him again, he ran away , Uncle Li, can you help me get the silver hairpin back?"

"Is there such a thing?" The shopkeeper Li's face sank when he heard this. The most important thing in business is reputation. If there is such a thing, and it happened to Maier, then he will I have to take care of it.

"Yes, the aunt near the shopkeeper said that he ran to the county town. I came to him to ask for silver hairpins."

"Mai'er, don't worry, you're staying with Uncle for two days now, and I'll leave this matter to Uncle."

"Thank you uncle."

Tang Mai stayed at Li's house that night. At Li's house, she still didn't see Li Xin, but Mrs. Li held her to talk for a long time. She also thought that she might be the grandmother of her younger brother's wife in the future. Naturally, it is also to show the most well-behaved side of oneself and strive for a good impression.

The next day, shopkeeper Li went out early in the morning, saying that he was going to find the chairman of the county chamber of commerce.

Tang Mai waited for the news at home, but he waited from morning to evening, but he didn't see shopkeeper Li come back.

Tian Feng had already gone back to accompany Li Lan, and only Tang Mai, Mrs. Li, Xiao Hua, and two women who were in charge of cooking and cleaning the yard were left at home.

In the evening, Mrs. Li was also a little anxious. It stands to reason that this matter will be settled soon. Why hasn't her master come back after a whole day?

Mrs. Li couldn't sit still anymore, and told Tang Mai to stay at home, while she tidied herself up and went out to find shopkeeper Li.

Tang Mai originally wanted to go together, but she couldn't expose herself too much when she went, after all, she is only a child over six years old now.

Just like that, after more than an hour, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, Tang Mai's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly stood up and ran out. Before she reached the door, she heard Xiaohua's startled exclamation , "Master——! God, madam, what's the matter, master?"

When Tang Mai ran to the door, he saw Madam Li and Dr. Qian lifted Shopkeeper Li out of the car. Shopkeeper Li's head was covered in blood, his face was pale and his eyes were closed.

Mrs. Li's eyes were already swollen from crying, and she just held on so as not to faint. Dr. Qian picked up shopkeeper Li, and told Xiao Hua, who was still in a daze, "Xiao Hua, go back immediately and prepare hot water, and then send someone to me. In the pharmacy, ask Cao’er to bring some medicine to stop the bleeding.”

Tang Mai didn't know what happened. When shopkeeper Li went out in the morning, he was still fine. Why did he go out for a day and come back like this?

Didn't he go to the president of the chamber of commerce?

Tang Mai's heart was in a mess, and he intuitively felt that this matter had nothing to do with her silver hairpin, but now he was not thinking about these things, the most important thing was the injury of shopkeeper Li and Mrs. Li's emotions.

Tang Mai ran forward, supported Mrs. Li, and comforted, "Aunt Li, don't cry, Uncle Li will be fine."

Mrs. Li looked at Tang Mai who was supporting her and wiped her tears again, "My good boy, what kind of evil do you think this is? If something happens to your uncle, I don't want to live anymore."

Tang Mai closed his eyes when he heard the words, who beat shopkeeper Li like this?

No matter who it is, daring to bully someone she cares about is courting death!
"Aunt Li, let's go see Uncle Li first, Uncle Li will be fine."

After checking by Dr. Qian, he found that shopkeeper Li had injured his head, as if he had been hit somewhere, and there were still some marks of beating on his body.

According to Mrs. Li, she found shopkeeper Li in a small alley not far from the chamber of commerce.

At that time, shopkeeper Li was already on the verge of death, and he had only one breath left. Fortunately, when Mrs. Li went, she took Dr. Qian with her and dealt with him first, and then sent him back to the Li family, which is relatively close to the guild hall. .

Shopkeeper Li was in a coma for a day and a night before waking up. During this period, Tang Mai went out to spend some copper coins and asked the little beggars on the street to find out what happened to Shopkeeper Li outside the hall that day.

According to a beggar who witnessed it, shopkeeper Li came out of the guild hall angrily, and not long after he came out, someone wrapped his head in a sack and dragged him to a small alley in the back alley to beat him up. After a while, the little beggar also heard those beating people warn shopkeeper Li to stop meddling in other people's business, otherwise he will have good results.

Tang Mai gave three copper coins to the little beggar she witnessed, and four copper coins to the little beggar who helped her find someone.

The little beggar who helped her find someone was about ten years old, with disheveled hair, but his eyes were particularly bright, as cunning as a cunning fox.

If you ask who in this world is the most well-informed about the news, it is the beggars walking around the streets.

Since this little beggar can help her find the person she needs, it shows that he has the ability. It is definitely not a bad thing for such a person to be held in his hands and used by him.

Seeing that Tang Mai actually gave him four copper coins, the little beggar got more than the little beggar he had spent a lot of effort to find just now. , "Sister, if you have anything to do in the future, just ask brother. Brother promises to help you find the person you are looking for and the news you want to know."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tang Mai looking at him and smiling. He scratched his hair, thinking that Tang Mai didn't believe him, so he sneaked up in front of Tang Mai and said to her, "Sister, don't you believe me?" Ah, let me tell you, the guy who runs the steamed stuffed bun shop, his wife has an affair with the pork seller on the next street."
