Chapter 330 (2/2)
”Oh, it's my first time to buy Chinese herbal medicine. I don't know which village has more Chinese herbal medicine.”
The old man said, ”you go eastward from here, and then walk another ten miles into the mountain. There are several villages where people specially go up to the mountain to collect herbs.”
”I know, but it's more than two o'clock in the afternoon now. It's hard to walk on the mountain road. I'm afraid I can't get there. My sister-in-law and uncle, can I stay here for one night? I'll go to the mountain tomorrow morning.”
My sister-in-law said, ”yes, if you don't think our thatched cottage is dilapidated, you can stay here all night.”
The thin monkey took out a hundred yuan note from his pocket, handed it to his sister-in-law, and said, ”here are my meal and lodging expenses. Please accept them.”
The elder sister-in-law declined and said, ”elder brother, how can I accept your money if you eat a few simple meals and live in a thatched cottage here.”
”Sister-in-law, if you don't charge me, I'm embarrassed to have dinner here and stay here. Do you want me to sleep in the wild?”
”Brother, I'll charge you 20 yuan.”
Thin monkey see, this sister-in-law kind-hearted, warm-hearted, is a good woman.
The thin monkey took out twenty yuan and handed it to his sister-in-law.
After dinner, the sister-in-law ran to wash the dishes, and the thin monkey chatted with the old man.
”Uncle, where's your child?”
”Oh, I have three daughters, all married.”
”Uncle, I think the village is full of thatched cottages. It seems that it is relatively poor here.”
”Yes, the soil quality here is not good, and the harvest of planting some corn and sorghum is not good. We can only feed ourselves.”
”Uncle, since it's not good to grow crops, why don't you go out and work?”
”Ha ha... My legs are not good, so I can't go out to work. My wife works as a cook in a rich family, and she cooks for others. At least she can earn some pocket money.”
”My sister-in-law is a cook in the rich family of B city?”
”No, this rich man has a lot of money. He built a villa in the mountain, where my wife works as a cook.”
”It's rare to build villas in the mountains.”
”Yes, my wife has a rest every three months. It's hard to run back and forth. It's said that she has to walk four or five miles from the villa to get to a small town by bus. The four or five miles are deserted and there are often wild animals. I'm really worried that she will have an accident.”
”Ah! It's amazing that this rich man built his villa in the mountains. ”
”Rich people, it's very convenient for them to get in and out by themselves. They not only have cars, but also helicopters.”
The hand monkey was startled. The rich people who have helicopters in the whole B city have never heard of it.
This is also a clue. If the tycoon has a helicopter, he can go to the aviation department to find the specific location of the villa.
However, it's troublesome to find out the information. The best way is to track the sister-in-law and find the location of the villa.
After a while, my sister-in-law washed the dishes and ran to the yard to chat.
Thin monkey asked: ”sister-in-law, I heard that you are working as a cook in a rich man's villa. This villa is in the mountains. It's very inconvenient to get in and out. Uncle is worried about your safety.”
”I can't help it. We are too poor to work outside, and we can't even earn pocket money. We have only three daughters. We are both married. In the future, when we are old and have no one to rely on, we can only earn some pension money while we are not too old. ”
”Sister-in-law, I have a cousin who always wants to work outside. I don't know if this villa still needs people?”
The sister-in-law sighed and said, ”my master is different from others. He uses deaf mute people, and normal people can't use any of them.”
