Traveling through the Lotus Tower: Li Lianhua, you must live well

Chapter 409 Listen to Hexagram 8

Li Lianhua was surprised: "Wow, it was such a big fuss. Then, why did they go to the temple together later?"

The waiter threw away his towel, sat on the bench, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:

"I overheard that Boss Sun seemed to be saying that he was going to apologize to the Buddha. Maybe they did something wrong when they were doing business."

Li Lianhua looked like she was eating a melon, and lowered her voice and said, "It's said that Boss Zhao and Boss Liu are both decent people and have never had any deadly feuds."

The shopkeeper continued, "I have indeed never heard of any deadly feud between them in Qingyuan County. But who knows if they may have offended someone when they were doing business outside before?"

At this point, the shopkeeper looked up and around, and then said, "I heard that there was another person who did business with Boss Zhao and Boss Sun in the past, his surname was Liang.

It is not clear what he does, but it seems to be related to the canal transportation. In the past, the three of them often met and had tea in the teahouse.

But according to the teahouse owner, Mr. Li, he hasn't seen the boss named Liang since four years ago.

Once, Manager Li curiously asked Boss Zhao why he didn't see them drinking tea together. Boss Zhao said that Boss Liang went out to sea and he thought foreign countries were good so he didn't plan to come back and he wanted to stay there to enjoy himself.

He went out to enjoy his life and didn't care about his family anymore? That's nonsense."

After saying this, the shopkeeper smiled meaningfully and looked at the three people with an expression that said, "Try it carefully."

Su Ci uttered an "ah", covered his mouth, and said in disbelief: "No way? No way?"

Li Lianhua swallowed, as if frightened by this speculation, and looked around in panic, as if she was afraid that others would know that she had heard this shocking secret.

Li Lianhua: "This...this..."

But after thinking about it for a long time, I still can't figure it out.

The shopkeeper was very satisfied with the reactions of Li Lianhua and Su Ci.

He stroked his beard and said in a profound way, "It's important to be on guard against others."

Li Lianhua and Su Ci nodded with an expression of "learning a lesson".

Su Ci asked curiously: "Then, didn't Boss Liang's family come to see Boss Zhao?"

The shopkeeper shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. He should have been here. But I haven't heard of anyone going to Boss Zhao's house to cause trouble."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the waiter and looked at him inquiringly.

The waiter nodded and said affirmatively, "I haven't heard of anyone going to Boss Zhao's house to cause trouble."

Li Lianhua was puzzled. "Why is that? Don't they have any doubts?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "I don't know about that."

Su Ci asked curiously, "Do many people know about this?"

Shopkeeper: "Not many people know about this. Boss Zhao and Boss Liu are well-known people in our area. No one would make such blind comments and cause trouble for them.

Moreover, it has been many years since the incident, and even fewer people remember it. If it weren’t for the fact that all three bosses happened to get into trouble and Boss Sun died in my place, I wouldn’t have remembered it.”

At this point, the shopkeeper cursed inwardly, "What bad luck!"

All of a sudden, I lost interest in continuing gossiping and walked away in boredom.

The shopkeeper returned to the counter and continued to frown at the empty inn.

Seeing this, Li Lianhua took out money to pay the bill, and left the teahouse with Su.

When they entered the teahouse, they passed by an old woman with gray hair and a hunched back.

The old woman was either thinking about something or not, and didn't notice the step under her feet. She stepped on empty air, and her body was unstable and she almost bumped into Su Ci. The bag in her hand also fell to the ground, and a small porcelain bottle rolled out.

Su Ci quickly supported the old woman, "Auntie, be careful."

Li Lianhua bent down to help pick up the bundle and porcelain bottle on the ground and handed them to her.

The old woman snatched the porcelain bottle, then took the bundle, and hurriedly bowed and apologized:

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I didn't look at the road and bumped into you. I'm really sorry. Sir, thank you for helping me pick up the things. Thank you, thank you."

Su Ci waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay. Be careful when you walk next time, or you might fall."

The old woman nodded repeatedly, expressing her gratitude and apology.

The teahouse owner heard the noise and hurried out to smooth things over. "I'm sorry, my dear guests. This old woman is our helper. She received some bad news from home today, so she looked a little dazed. I didn't mean to offend you."

Li Lianhua said gently: "It's okay, don't worry about it."

After entering the teahouse, he ordered a pot of tea and listened to the storyteller with Su Ci.
