Delicate Flower Chapter 34: Countermeasures

Also unable to sleep was the mother of the boy who stole the things.

Hearing the commotion in the Yu family, the boy's mother quickly packed herself up and went out. She saw Mrs. Chen sweeping the yard. Without saying a word, she found a broom and started sweeping. When Mrs. Chen stopped her, she Holding the broom, he begged bitterly: "Just let me do something for your family, otherwise I wouldn't have the nerve to see Mrs. Yu."

Mr. Chen couldn't resist her, so she simply left the job of sweeping the yard to her and went to work in the kitchen.

The boy's mother was overjoyed and swept the yard meticulously.

Yu Tang stood by the window, listening to the "swish" sound of sweeping the floor, thought for a while, and knocked on A Tiao's door.

A Tiao yawned and opened the door. When he saw it was Yu Tang, he was startled, sobered up and said hurriedly: "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Yu Tang said: "Call the thief out."

A Tiao went to call someone.

Perhaps he didn't sleep well. The boy was exhausted and his eyes were as red as peach stones.

Yu Tang pointed to the woman who was sweeping the floor and said, "Look, you have to repay your mother for the good things you have done. She helped me sweep the yard before dawn today."

The boy's eyes immediately became moist.

Yu Tang said: "My eldest cousin has already called me daddy. If you have anything to say, tell me as soon as possible. Otherwise, when my dad finds out, you will be unable to eat and walk away."

"I have told you everything I know." The boy sobbed with tears, "I really will never dare to do it again."

Seeing that Yu Tang couldn't find anything, he told A Tiao to keep an eye on the person and went to Chen's place.

Ms. Chen didn't sleep well either and was rubbing her head.

Yu Tang called out "Mom," and went over to massage her mother's temples, comforting her and saying, "Don't worry, my brother has already gone to find his father, and no one will come to steal things easily in the future."

"I hope so!" Chen sighed.

Yu Tang thought for a while and said, "Thanks to the help from the neighbors yesterday, do you think you might want to make some cakes and send them to each house as a thank you?"

"It should, it should." Ms. Chen became more energetic after hearing this and boasted, "Our A-Tang has become a big girl, and she knows how to be worldly."

I am very pleased.

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.

Ms. Chen now has something to do and no longer thinks about what happened last night.

After breakfast, she and Mrs. Chen made a pot of sugar cake, took out the tea at home and carefully divided it into several portions, and brought Yutang to thank them one by one. By the time everything was delivered, it was time for lunch.

Yu Wen rushed back, riding Mr. Wu’s mule.

Chen asked curiously: "Where is Ayuan?"

Yu Wen said vaguely: "I asked him to go do some errands. Is the meal ready? I have to go to Master Wu's house to return the mule later, so I have to give him a big gift. What happened last night, he can't It helped a lot."

Obviously there is something hidden from Mrs. Chen.

Seeing that he was not in good spirits, Mrs. Chen ordered Yu Tang to go to the kitchen to help Mrs. Chen set the table, and she herself fetched water to help Yu Wen wash up.

Yu Wen changed his clothes, washed his face, and asked Chen, "What about Tou'er and his mother?"

Ms. Chen said: "I'm in the woodshed. I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to see people."

Yu Wen ignored the mother and son and had dinner with Chen and Yu Tang. He took tea, wine and cakes and went to Wu's house to return the mule. Then he sat down and talked to Chen and Yu Tang: "I'll go After arriving at Mr. Wu's house, we went to Li Zheng's place. We have not had a thief in Qingzhu Lane for so many years, so we can't keep this kid. But for the sake of the neighbors, I will not send him to the official. I will hand him over to the police. Their family will handle it. Li Zheng also agreed. He will come over and take the person away later."

Ms. Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, so as not to ruin the reputation of our Qingzhu Lane." Then she asked about Lu Xin: "Have you decided on an auspicious day for the burial? Is there anything we can help you with?" of?"

When he mentioned this incident, Yu Wen felt depressed. He said: "This incident is all my fault, how can I involve you all in it. I made an appointment with the monk in the temple to bury him tomorrow. Just go and help Ayuan. You guys just rest at home and do whatever you need to do."

While talking, Yu Yuan came back.

Yu Wen said to Chen: "I will go back to the temple later. Lu Xin has no children. I will keep vigil for him tonight. The weather is getting colder. Please pack two thicker clothes for me." I'll take these clothes with me when I go to the temple."

Ms. Chen left in response.

Yu Wen immediately called Yu Tang and whispered: "Come to the study with me to talk."

Yu Tang thought that her father was going to ask her about the painting, so she nodded and followed her father to the study quietly.

Yu Yuan is also here.

The three people gathered together and talked quietly.

Only then did Yu Tang know that Yu Yuan had gone to the gambling house on Yu Wen's order. The manager of the gambling house refused to admit that he was entrusted by others, and insisted that he heard that there was such a painting in their house and did not want to pay for it, so he paid a gangster to steal something from their house.

With the casino manager like this, Yu Yuan couldn't ask the casino manager to be the middleman.

There is nothing gained about Lu Xin's death.

Yu Wen said: "At that time, I just wanted to transport the person back as soon as possible and bury him in peace. When did he die, what happened before his death, and what relics were left behind. I thought that death is like a lamp going out. , I never asked any questions."

He regretted: "If I had known this, I should have asked clearly."

Yu Tang thought a lot that night and secretly had an idea in his mind. After her father and brother finished speaking, she tentatively said: "Dad, I think we must investigate this matter. If nothing else, at least we know why the other party insists on getting this painting, even if they are Even if we are in the dark, we have ways to deal with each other. Otherwise, we can only passively be beaten. Maybe we will be like Lu Xiucai..."

Yu Wen’s face turned pale as he listened.

Yu Tang said: "Dad, brother, I have an idea."

Both Yu Wen and Yu Yuan's eyes fell on her.

She then said: "Didn't Shopkeeper Tong say before that this "Picture of Fishing Hidden in Songxi" was not completely a fake painting? It was a skilled master who peeled off the top layer of the rice paper and left Are you copying the lower layer on the original imprint? Shopkeeper Tong also said that rice paper has many layers. Otherwise, we can also find a skilled craftsman to peel off the top layer of the painting. Let them steal it. In this way, we will not only get out of trouble, but also can carefully study the secrets in this painting. Do you think it can be done?"

The eyes of Yu Wen and Yu Yuan both lit up, and Yu Wen even praised without hiding his joy: "A Tang, you have been clever since you were a child. You can come up with all kinds of ideas for a few candies. Now you finally Use your cleverness and energy on business. What you said makes sense. Instead of letting the other party suspect that what we gave him is a fake painting and that we are unwilling to sell the painting to him, it is better to do what you said. The fake is gone."

Yu Yuandao: "Second uncle, Ah Tang, for our family's lacquerware business, I met a man who specializes in antique calligraphy and painting. We can ask him."

Yu Wen said: "Are people reliable? Don't spread any rumors, otherwise it will be self-defeating."

Yu Yuan smiled and said: "The man's surname is Qian and he lives in Hangzhou City. Because he does not do any serious business, he lives in a place called Cross Alley. It is the most prosperous place in Hangzhou City, with many shops on both sides of the street. , I don’t know how many people come in and out every day, and it is connected in all directions, so it is very lively. If something happens, you can’t find anyone if you run out of the alley. So don’t worry, we will go around a few more times when we go, be careful, we will definitely not be People discovered it."

Yu Wen was a little surprised and muttered: "In Hangzhou City!"

"Yes!" Yu Yuan wanted to persuade Yu Wen and said, "Think about it, how can people in this business live in seclusion in the countryside? What's more, Hangzhou is not far from us. It only takes half a day to get there by boat. . And it’s easy to deal with when someone asks, isn’t it the Mid-Autumn Festival soon? I just said I wanted to go to Hangzhou to buy something.”

Yu Wen thought for a while and decided: "Then let's do it!"

Yu Tang said hurriedly: "Dad, shall I follow you? I want to go with you. I went to Hangzhou once when I was a child! Can you take me with you?"

Yu Wen hesitated for a while before making up his mind, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take you there. However, you are not allowed to cause trouble for me on the way, and you must keep your eyes open. If you find anything wrong, you must reconcile with me in time. Your brother said."

My father must have affirmed her ability!

Yu Tang was so happy that she stepped forward to hug her father and said, "You are so kind."

Yu Wen, however, pretended to have a straight face and said seriously: "Don't flatter me yet. I have to hide this from your mother, do you know?"

"Yes!" Yu Tang promised.

Yu Wen smiled and said to Yu Yuan in a gentle voice: "Brother and sister-in-law, please don't reveal the news. Otherwise, they will worry about us. ~IndoMTL.com~ Yes!" Yu Yuan said respectfully.

Yu Tang ran away quickly: "Dad, I'm going to pack my things right away."

Yu Wen and Yu Yuan smiled and shook their heads.

Ms. Chen knew that Yu Wen was going to take Yu Tang to Hangzhou City, so she couldn't help but muttered: "Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to be celebrated, there is no need to go to Hangzhou City to buy things, right? What doesn't exist in Lin'an City?"

Of course she is happy that Yu Wen is willing to take Yu Tang to Hangzhou. But now, the family has little money, and Yu Wen doesn’t value money. There is also Yu Tang, a guy who wants to buy three candies when he goes out and doesn’t see anything he likes. If they buy like this, their family’s life in the second half of the year will be terrible. How's it going?

Yu Tang vaguely guessed her mother's thoughts. She took her mother's arm affectionately and whispered: "Mom, I'm going with Dad just to watch him and prevent him from buying things randomly."

Ms. Chen chuckled, touched her daughter's head and said, "It's good if you can take care of yourself. Are you going to help me look after your father?"

"Really!" Yu Tang swore, "If I buy things randomly, I will be fined and cannot leave the house for a month."

Ms. Chen twisted her daughter's nose and didn't believe what she said, but she couldn't bear to restrain her daughter and husband, so she simply covered her heart and pretended she didn't know.

The worst she can do is sell two pieces of jewelry in the second half of the year.

The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing, and Li Zheng brought a few people over.

Yu Wen entertained them in the hall.

After drinking half a cup of tea and exchanging a few words, those people took the boy and his mother away.

It is said that the people who came here are the boy's family. As for how the family will deal with the mother and son, it depends on the fate of the mother and son.

After Lu Xin was buried, Yu Wen hid the painting and took Yu Yuan and Yu Tang to Hangzhou City.

At Tiaoxi Pier, they met Pei Yan and Zhou Zijin.
