Chapter 66 The Land Deed is Lost
Liu Cuilan was walking forward with her head down, thinking about something. Suddenly, someone bumped into her with a bang, causing her to stagger.
Just as he was about to start cursing, the woman covered her arm and started to speak first: "How do you walk like that, bitch? You're bumping into me!"
Mrs. Zhang saw that it was a young man, and thought that she had really bumped into him because she was walking with her head down. She was afraid that he would ask her to pay for the medical expenses, so she hurriedly apologized to the man and quickly slipped away.
Fortunately, the man did not catch up with her, and Liu Cuilan breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Cuilan was very depressed because she had no connections with the Zhang family. They were all country people, so how could Zheng Baozhu and Duan Minniang be favored by the manager?
Today, she risked being discovered by the old man and stole the land deed from his home, thinking that she would definitely win the deal, but he ignored her. She had left all the work at home unfinished and didn't bring anything useful back, so she would definitely be blamed again.
Thinking of this, Liu Cuilan subconsciously touched the pocket where she had placed the land deed.
This touch is serious. Where is the land deed?
Liu Cuilan hurriedly turned over the pocket containing the land deed, but couldn't find it. She then searched all the places on her body where she could hide it, even took off her coat and shook it, but still couldn't find the land deed.
Liu Cuilan stood there, her hands and feet weak and her mind blank.
The land deed! Where is the land deed? It's over. What if the old man knew that I lost the land deed? That's the life of my whole family! If he knew, he would definitely divorce me. I'm old and have grandchildren. How can I afford to lose this man?
After a long while, she finally came to her senses and started looking for it along the way she came. She had only been to the alley leading to Mr. Zhang's house all day, and she had also touched the land deed when Mr. Zhang came out, so it was impossible that it was lost somewhere else.
But she searched the alley and couldn't find it. Liu Cuilan collapsed to the ground, wondering where she had lost it.
Suddenly, she thought of the man who had just bumped into her.
Yes, the road is so wide, even if I was busy thinking and forgot to look at the road. But why didn't he avoid it and bump into me instead of being a big guy?
Yes, it must be him. He bumped into me on purpose and took the opportunity to steal the land deed from me.
After figuring out everything, Liu Cuilan immediately wanted to chase the man. But the road was full of alleys, so there was no way to see the man.
Liu Cuilan sat on the ground and cried bitterly: "You damn thief! You want me, an old woman, to die! Why did you steal from me when you could steal from anyone else? Do you know that you stole the lives of my entire family? You are a thief who deserves to be chopped off! You have a rotten heart! Sooner or later, your hand will be chopped off..."
This was absolutely a bolt from the blue for a country woman. The land deed on which her family depended for survival was stolen. Liu Cuilan didn't know what to do and could only sit on the road and cry.
This place was full of wealthy people's houses, and soon someone opened the door to drive her out.
"Where did you come from, a beggar woman, to come here and mourn! Get away from me, you have offended my master, I will teach you a lesson!"
Having just lost her land deed and being scolded like this, Liu Cuilan cried even harder. But she was afraid of offending these rich people, so she got up and walked to the market in a daze.
Besides, the thief had actually been eyeing Liu Cuilan since she entered the market. This old woman, dressed in rags, was covering her collar pockets with her hands and acting furtively. It was obvious at a glance that she was carrying valuables in her arms.
The thief followed her all the way. When she was at the entrance of the alley of Mr. Zhang's house, she pressed against the wall and covered her hands tightly, so there was no chance to attack. After waiting for her to come out, she lowered her head to think about something, and the thief took the opportunity to bump into her and took the land deed away.
After the thief succeeded, he quickly ran into the alley next to him. He knew the area very well, and even if Liu Cuilan reacted immediately, she would not be able to find him.
He thought it was a stack of banknotes, but when the thief confirmed it was safe and opened it, he found it was a stack of land deeds.
Well, although not as valuable as silver notes, these ten acres of land deeds are also worth some money, enough for a while.
The thief put the land deed in his arms and went to the gambling house.
Liu Cuilan had no idea what to do at this moment, so she could only walk towards where the ox cart was parked, thinking about going home first and then thinking of a solution.
When I got to the side of the ox cart, I saw Zheng Yuan and her stall was set up on the side, right next to the main road leading into the town. Business was booming at the moment, and the stall was crowded with people.
When they came out of Mr. Zhang's house, the market was about to end, and setting up a stall in the market would definitely not work. After thinking about it, Zheng Yuan simply decided to set up a stall at the entrance of the town. At this time, everyone would pass by here after the market and those who had traveled far would definitely come to have a bowl.
So they asked the servant who was carrying the pot to help them lift the pot onto the ox cart, and they set up their stall on the side.
Zheng Yuan put down his things and first poured a bowl for the servant boy, adding plenty of ice and brown sugar, and also poured a bowl for Zhao Youwang.
"Brother Dongzi, I'm really sorry to bother you. We don't have anything to offer. Please don't despise our own ice jelly."
Dongzi didn't ask for a spoon, but took the bowl and drank it all, with a little surprise in his eyes. The ice jelly of these two women was something special, they actually put so much ice, no wonder their business was booming. The master in their house had ice for use, and as servants, they would only occasionally reward the master with a little when he was happy.
Dongzi politely declined Zheng Yuan's idea of giving him another bowl and said goodbye to them: "It's nothing. I will naturally do what Manager Zhang asked me to do. Auntie, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first."
Zheng Yuan and the others didn't bother to be polite anymore and started shouting, otherwise the ice jelly would have to be taken home unopened.
Now seeing that their business is booming, Liu Cuilan is so angry that her teeth are itching.
Why? Why did Zhang Guanshi like these two old ladies? Why did he not settle the deal after spending the whole morning with them and instead lost the land deed? Why was their business still so good?
Thinking about it, Liu Cuilan's hatred almost burst through her head, and she wanted to go up and overturn their stall. However, she still had a trace of rationality in her heart, knowing that she couldn't beat them because they were outnumbered, and this business was done by Manager Zhang and them together, so she didn't have the courage to offend Manager Zhang.
He could only reluctantly get on the ox cart and urged Zhao Youwang: "Zhao Youwang, why haven't you set off yet? Are you asking us to wait for those three people?"
Zhao Youwang was puzzled. What was Liu Cuilan doing? "Didn't you just come back? I just left. What do you have to do with me now? Besides, this is my ox cart. I can leave whenever I want. What's it to you? If you want to leave early, just get off and walk."
Just now, Dashu Niang gave him six coins to let him wait for half an hour longer. This was twice as much as usual. Three people had three coins more, while Liu Cuilan only had one coin. He could still tell who had more and who had less. At worst, he would not earn her coin.
Not to mention, he just drank a bowl of ice jelly, which was full of fine ice chips, which was very cool in the hot summer.
Besides, on weekdays, if someone in the village had something to do, they would wait for half an hour or a quarter of an hour, and no one would give extra coins. Dashu Niang was so generous, so why not wait a little longer?
Liu Cuilan was choked by him and was speechless. She couldn't really go down and walk. She simply snorted and turned away without saying anything.
