"Aqiu is here to help—"

It's good that Ji Wei didn't mention this, but as soon as this was mentioned, Mao Lintie's forcibly suppressed anger spewed out, and he shouted violently: "Ji Wei! You still have the face to say it!"

"What's wrong with me?" Ji Wei was really taken aback, he had only met this Mao Lintie once.

It was also because Mao Lintie refused to allow Aqiu to work here before, so Aqiu lived behind the shop for a few days in a fit of anger.Mao Lintie couldn't sit still anymore, so he rushed to the shop to make a fuss, and Ji Wei got to know Ah Qiu's husband.

But after he was stunned, he understood that Mao Lintie probably came for Aqiu this time.

"Don't play tricks on me, Aqiu is a brother, I don't believe you don't know! I remember you married a brother too, right? Would you let your one come out in public?" Mao Lintie became more and more angry as he said , the voice rose uncontrollably.

When Liu Yimian was mentioned, Ji Wei frowned, "Brother Mao, there are a lot of people talking here, for the sake of Aqiu and Mianmian's reputation, please speak carefully."

Only then did Mao Lintie notice that he was too loud just now, and the guests all cast the same gaze.He was a little embarrassed, but he was still not convinced, so he didn't say anything.

"What's the matter, please talk about it later." Ji Wei made a gesture of invitation.

"Lead the way." Mao Lintie was very rude.

When the two came to the back room, Ji Wei immediately closed the door to block the curious looking eyes from outside.

Mao Lintie sniffed, a little puzzled by the sweet smell that was everywhere in the room.But as soon as he saw Ji Wei's face, he suppressed his doubts.

He would never ask Ji Wei.

"Brother Mao, please let me know how is Aqiu?" Ji Wei smiled when he saw that he didn't want to talk, "After all, Aqiu is a good friend of my family's Mianmian. He is not here at this time. Let me ask for him. It should be."

"Your family, did you really go to school?" Seeing Ji Wei nodding, Mao Lintie sneered, "It's just a brother, do you really treat him as a man? Send him to school, and you won't be the one who will be laughed at ?”

Ah Qiu came to Ji Wei's side to help, it was only a month or two, but it was enough to spread the word.

Quite a few people who came to Mao Lintie to buy seafood would always ask Aqiu, and those who talked about good things asked if something happened to Mao Lintie's family, and even his elder brother had to go to the street to work, which caused trouble. Mao Lintie was furious.

So much so that after falling out with Ah Qiu, Ah Qiu left home for a few days.

Ji Wei said lightly: "This is our business, how is Ah Qiu?"

Although he sent Liu Yimian to study in the county school and recruited Aqiu to help him in the shop, he didn't have the time to spare for equal rights for his brother, of course he was too lazy to entangle with Mao Lintie @ these things.

"I'm here to inform you that Aqiu won't come here anymore, so I can help him settle his wages." Mao Lintie raised his jaw and said triumphantly.

"Is this what Ah Qiu meant, or Brother Mao, you?" Ji Wei said calmly.

"What's the difference?" The smile on Mao Lintie's face disappeared again.

"Of course. If it's what Aqiu wants, I will naturally offer the money with both hands. If it's what you want, Brother Mao, then I think it's better to wait for Aqiu to come and talk to me. After all, it's Aqiu who is helping me here, and I don't want to help you." Not Brother Mao." Ji Wei got up and poured a cup of herbal tea for Mao Lintie, which was brewed to quench the thirst and heat of the laboring workers.

Mao Lintie took two deep breaths, suppressed his anger, and laughed twice, causing Ji Wei to look back at him.

"Of course Ah Qiu asked me to come. He's pregnant. I won't let him come here again. If you don't pay him, follow me to the mayor. At worst, report to the police. Others are afraid of you, Ji Wei. I, Mao Lintie, am not afraid!" he said excitedly.

But let him down.

Ji Wei was surprised that his brother could really be pregnant, but he didn't show his face at all, "That's really a happy event, Ah Qiu is pregnant, even if he wants to come again, I absolutely dare not accept it."

"As long as you know."

"This herbal tea clears away the heat and cools down the heat. It tastes sweet and mild. Brother Mao, try it." Ji Wei pushed the tea bowl in front of Mao Lintie, untied his belt, poured out an ingot of one tael of silver from it, and put it on the table.

"This is?" Mao Lintie is not without a brain, even if Aqiu has never received wages here, but only serves tea and water, it is impossible to get a tael of silver.

He looked at Ji Wei suspiciously.

"Aqiu is pregnant, but Mianmian, as his good friend, is not around and can't visit her. The extra money is considered gift money."

Mao Lintie was afraid that Ji Wei would go back on his word, so he quickly put away the two coins, with a bit of alertness in his eyes.

With this money, the anger towards Ji Wei in his heart has also faded a lot.

"But I can't let you go home empty-handed. This is a new product in my store. Aqiu should like it. Bring some for me." There are still a few small meat floss shellfish left on the shelf, which Ji Wei originally planned to use It's dinner, but I didn't expect Mao Lintie to come to the door.

He wrapped it in oiled paper and handed it over.

"What does Aqiu like? Just ask, I won't take money." Ji Wei knew that before he came to this world, Liu Yimian was deeply poisoned by the original owner, and it was Aqiu who took the risk of being discovered by Mao Lintie and brought things with him. to help him.

No matter what the reason for this is, Ah Qiu can be regarded as kind.And Ji Wei regards Liu Yimian as his sweetheart, in other words, Ah Qiu can be regarded as half of Ji Wei's benefactor.

But Ji Wei doesn't need to mention all this with Mao Lintie.

Mao Lintie drank the herbal tea in one gulp, held a bag of meat floss shellfish, opened the door in confusion and went out.

This time, he came in a huff and left in a daze.No matter what he thinks, he can't figure out how Ji Wei treats Ah Qiu so well.

It can't be because Ah Qiu is his brother's friend, right?

Mao Lintie shook his head, regardless of what he was doing, in short, Aqiu would not be allowed to look for this Ji again in the future.

Ji Wei stood at the open door for a while, but Aqiu couldn't come. From now on, there will be one less person who serves tea and also cooks here.It is impossible for him to specialize in these chores, so he has to think of a way.

"Do any of you know how to cook?" Ji Wei regretted after shouting, these are all old men, there are old mothers and wives in the family, who can cook.

But what Ji Wei didn't expect was that although it was sparse, four people raised their hands after counting.

Brother Tian ran over, "What's the matter? Ah Qiu is very sick?" He also raised his hands, but he put them down after running over.

"You can also cook?" Ji Wei's eyes were amazed. This brother Tian was really beyond his expectations. He is literate, honest and willing to work, and he can cook.

"Know a little bit, simply stir-fry a few dishes, it must not be as good as you and Aqiu, the shopkeeper." Brother Tian was a little embarrassed.

"It's fine, then you will take care of the lunch from now on."

"I can't..."

Ji Wei patted Brother Tian on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You have to believe in yourself, you can do it. From now on, I will give you [-] Wen a day. If you want vegetables and meat, you can buy them. I believe you."

"This...then I'll try it." Brother Tian was uncertain.

"Since you have even replaced Aqiu, then your wages will be ten cents an hour from now on." Ji Wei smiled and looked at Brother Tian, ​​who opened his mouth in disbelief, and bent over and rushed for a long time. Ji Wei bowed.

Many people noticed the movement here, looking at it.

"Okay, go @yourjob."

Brother Tian was overjoyed to have his salary raised twice in an hour.Usually he is a boring gourd with sawing mouths, but today he hummed for a long time, laughing at everyone, even if he didn't mention the salary increase, everyone guessed most of it, and congratulated him one after another.

*****

County school, outside the school building.

"It's a deal, accompany us to Yongle Street in the evening!" Lin Tai waved to Liu Yimian who had returned to the house.

Liu Yimian turned her head and waved her hands, Lin Taicai looked away in satisfaction, and kept fumbling for the keys in the bag on her body.But he searched around, but couldn't find it.

"Where did you lose the key again?"

As soon as Liu Yimian walked outside the house, she saw the half-open lock and exclaimed.He was not far from Lin Tai's house, and Lin Tai hadn't entered the house yet, when he heard his call, he ran over quickly.

"What's the matter?" Lin Tai kicked the door open as soon as he saw the lock, and what caught his eye was the messy house that had been turned over, apparently by burglars.

Lin Tai looked at Liu Yimian nervously, worried that he would cry.Unexpectedly, Liu Yimian just froze for a moment, then quickly walked to the table and squatted down, dragging out the box underneath.

As soon as he opened the lid, his heart sank.

The inside of the wooden box was also in disarray. The bag that had contained the money was lying dry and shriveled on top of a pile of books. It was obvious that all the money in it was gone.

Liu Yimian's mind went blank for a moment, and then he heard Lin Tai shouting in his ear: "Are you okay?!"

"...It's okay." Liu Yimian licked her dry lips and said in a low voice.

"Who is it that can come in?" Lin Tai walked around the room, but still had no idea, he kicked the bedpost angrily.Even if Liu Yimian didn't speak, he knew that he must have lost the money, "No, I'll call them out and see if there's anyone here today!"

"Actually, it happened once before." Liu Yimian raised her head abruptly, "It must be that person!"

"What?" Lin Tai came over and grabbed Liu Yimian's arm, "You have met it before? Then why didn't you tell us?"

Liu Yimian pursed her lips, and lowered her eyes slightly, "It was the time Brother Ji went to look for me. After returning, the room was also in a mess, but nothing was lost. I didn't say anything."

Lin Tai suddenly understood that Liu Yimian didn't tell them because he was afraid that they would be overwhelmed.He felt warm in his heart, but turned angry again.

"Which bastard is this, actually stealing in the academy! It's a shame! I must find out this person!" Lin Tai let go of Liu Yimian's hand, and ran out quickly before he could speak.

When Liu Yimian went out, she saw Lin Tai knocking on the door from room to room, calling everyone out.

Many people were alarmed by him and surrounded him, asking him what happened.

"Our school building has been attacked by thieves, and none of you are indifferent!" Lin Tai's words were like throwing a stone on a calm lake. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, as if everyone wanted to see order something.

"Impossible, this is an academy!"

"Except for students, no one will come here. Could it be that there are thieves among us?"

"I went to the library with Li Qing today, and Li Qing can testify for me."

"I just came back, it must not be me."

"What's missing?" Lu Yushu was reading a book upstairs, and heard the movement downstairs, half of his body leaned out from the corridor, and his voice drifted down.
