The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 130 Tracking

"Ouch, my stomach hurts a little..." Li Taohua suddenly covered her stomach.

"Mom, are you okay?" Qin Huiyin quickly put down what she was holding and supported her nervously.

"It's okay, I just had an emergency." Li Taohua said softly, "Don't be so loud. It's embarrassing for a pretty woman like me to talk about emergency matters in public."

Qin Huiyin: "..."

She smiled helplessly and said in a low voice, "There's a roadside toilet over there, go and take care of it."

"I have a bit of diarrhea today, and it might take a while. Please keep an eye on me here," said Li Taohua.

"Okay, take care of yourself first. I'll be watching here. Don't worry."

"Row."

“Is there toilet paper?”

"Shh..." Li Taohua made a gesture to keep quiet, then ran back and took out the yellowed toilet paper from the cloth bag.

Most ordinary people here don't use toilet paper. If they are at home, there will be leaves or something like that in the toilet. If they are more particular, there will be a basin of water and a towel next to it.

Qin Huiyin couldn't stand it a bit. The last time she bought pens, ink, paper and inkstone for Tang Yichen, she picked the worst quality paper to make toilet paper.

Li Taohua is also a clean person, and she only supports Qin Huiyin's approach and will not stop it.

Qin Huiyin saw Li Taohua heading towards the toilet and continued to flip the skewers in her hand.

Li Taohua went into the roadside toilet, but came out as soon as she entered, sneaked away from the side, and then returned to the vicinity of the market, looking for the person she had just seen.

That's right. Her stomach didn't hurt, and her trip to the bathroom was fake.

She vaguely saw a suspicious person staring at her furtively. The figure looked very much like Tang Jizu. The last incident made her realize that the clown hiding in the dark must be dealt with, otherwise her precious daughter would have to endure many scares again.

She didn't tell Qin Huiyin. First, she hadn't confirmed who that person was yet. Telling her rashly would only make her worry about it. She would wait until she found out who it was. Second, her daughter was already very busy and tired. She had experience dealing with bad guys. Why would she let a little girl follow her and worry about it?

found it.

Li Taohua accurately found the mouse hiding in the dark.

A long line formed in front of the "Laughing Restaurant," run by a couple of teenagers. Elderly Mr. Tang Sanye assisted, collecting money, passing items, and clearing the tables after customers left. A few yamen runners chatted and laughed as they ate, praising the owner's cooking.

The boss's business was booming, and customers were not impatient despite the long queues. They also had officials to back them up. This scene was so stimulating that Tang Jizu's eyes turned red.

Tang Jizu knew that no matter how much he hated her, he couldn't take action. He had just attacked someone yesterday, so he should keep calm at this time.

He made a sound of "Pooh" and turned away.

Li Taohua followed Tang Jizu until he entered a courtyard.

She looked up at the plaque at the gate of the courtyard, which clearly read "Xia Zhuang".

"Hey, are you the wife or mistress of that man just now?" A beggar boy squatted in the corner and said with a grin.

Li Taohua put one hand on her waist and said fiercely, "I'm not blind, how could I be interested in that kind of stuff?"

"Oh, that's my enemy!" the beggar chuckled. "I can tell you what you want to know, but it's not like asking for information in vain."

"Do you know who he is?"

"He's the butler's lackey. He's the kind of bastard who would eat shit even if the butler told him to."

"You seem to have a grudge against him?"

"Not really. It's just that every time he sees us he either beats us or scolds us. I just hate him!"

Li Taohua fished around and pulled out ten coins, waving them in front of the little beggar: "Tell me what you know, and I'll see how much it's worth."

The busy period was over, and Qin Huiyin finally had some free time. She looked into the distance and said to herself: "My mother has been gone for so long, is she okay?"

Tang Luwu said, "Yinyin, I'll go take a look."

"Okay... no need, mom is back." Qin Huiyin looked at Li Taohua coming from the direction of the roadside toilet.

Li Taohua felt guilty and didn't dare to look Qin Huiyin in the eye. She said to Tang Luwu, "I have a bit of a stomachache today. Can you guys handle this?"

"Don't worry, Mom. We can handle it." Tang Luwu said obediently, "Mom, you've been squatting for so long. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't you go see a doctor?"

"No, it must be because the pancakes I had this morning were so delicious that I ate a few extra bites." Li Taohua said, "I'm back. You guys take a rest from now on, I'll take care of things."

"Third Grandpa and I went to deliver the sauce to Big Brother and Brother Ruize." Qin Huiyin said, looking at the barbecued skewers, "We have a lot of ingredients today, so let's grill some skewers and send them over."

"We prepare a lot of ingredients to make money, not to make you a good person." Li Taohua muttered.

"Mom..." Qin Huiyin hugged Li Taohua's arm and shook it.

"Give it to him, give it to him, give it to him. Give the whole stall to him." Li Taohua said unhappily.

"A saint once said that the more beautiful a person is, the more kind they are, because God only gives kind people peerless looks. It turns out to be true." Qin Huiyin sighed.

"Which saint said that?" Li Taohua was surprised. "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"I made it up." Qin Huiyin laughed, "Sister Luwu, little brother, come and help."

Li Taohua laughed and scolded: "You stinky girl, you are born with a smooth tongue, I don't know who you resemble."

Tang Luwu and Tang Yi laughed.

Several people worked together to grill the meat. They also steamed the braised meat in a pot, wrapped it in oil paper and put it in a basket.

I originally brought twenty large jars of seasoning sauce, but Boss Ning bought ten of them, so now only ten large jars are left.

Qin Huiyin divided it into two parts, with each person getting five cans.

Because the amount of seasoning sauce was low, Qin Huiyin prepared some extra grilled skewers and braised meat. The dried fish sold well today, and there wasn't a single piece left. Next time, she'll get more dried fish and give them each a bag.

Master Tang San asked, "Who should we go to first?"

Qin Huiyin thought for a moment and said, "This place is close to Big Brother. When we get to the academy, you can take the things and leave first. It will take some time for the gatekeeper to go in and find Big Brother. I'm worried that the barbecue skewers will get cold if we wait too long, so I'm driving the ox cart directly to the dam. I'll come back to pick you up after I've delivered the things to Brother Ruize."

"How about I take him to the dam and you stay here to wait for Yichen?"

"I'd better let me take him to the dam! I have a feeling that Brother Ruize is hiding something from me. I'll ask around later to see if anything has happened to him."

"I don't care, I'm just worried that someone might be unhappy!" Mr. Tang San looked like he was enjoying the show.

The old ox walked slowly, and the grandfather and grandson talked and laughed, just like ordinary human fireworks in the world.
