When Ang Lee came last night, he bought a lot of gifts. Because he didn't inform them in advance, the family naturally couldn't entertain him. They let Ang Lee drink a bowl of plain water.
Today was different. Ang Lee saw the man killing a chicken from afar. Moreover, it was a fresh and tender rooster. The chair was also borrowed. In addition, on the counter near the kitchen, there were a lot of fresh vegetables and a small amount of meat. These were obviously prepared for Ang Lee. It was estimated that cooking seven or eight side dishes would not be a problem. Although the main dishes were vegetarian, this was already the best dish that this family could come up with to entertain the guest. It was definitely considered attentive.
"Haha! You guys are really attentive, too attentive. "
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Poor people really don't have anything good to entertain the guests, so I can only take out these."
The man said with embarrassment.
"It's fine. It's good. It's enough to have this kind of intention. I really want to try it and see how Shuang 'er's mother cooks it. Haha!"
Ang Lee said with a smile.
Tang Er had already been dragged by Shuang 'er to play next door. There were a few children next door. Ang Lee heard clearly that they were all stinky brats from the Telepathy Academy. With so many children playing together, there should be no problem. There was no need to worry about safety at all.
As for Shuang'er's mother, she easily cleaned up the feathers on the little rooster. Then, she began to cook. Regardless of whether Li An was eating here or not, they had to be hospitable. At worst, they could just eat by themselves.
"This is the wild fruit that my humble wife picked on the mountain. Noble sir, please try it."
The man couldn't take out any decent fruit. He could only take out the pastries that Ang Lee bought yesterday and some wild fruits that he picked at home. It could also be said that they were good dried fruits.
However, these dried fruits were directly picked from the tree and were not artificially processed. Therefore, the taste was not very good, but it was definitely very healthy. It was absolutely good for the body.
These wild fruits were also often eaten by Ang Lee, so he didn't feel that there was anything new. Out of politeness, he took a few and put them in his mouth to express that the taste was good.
"I have asked Wang Dabao and the others for you. There is no such thing at all, especially Wang Dabao. He said that there is no treasure in his family at all. He never drinks tea. I think the three of you were cheated. The rest of the families can't remember. They all said that there is no such thing."
Ang Lee said.
"There is no such thing? That can't be! "
The man frowned and looked very surprised. He couldn't figure out who would deliberately trick him. In his eyes, everyone around him was a good person. He really couldn't find a reason for anyone to harm him.
"Could it be a mistake?"
The man continued to say.
Ang Lee sighed and said, "It can't be wrong. It has been less than a year. Wang Dabao won't remember wrongly. He really doesn't have any treasure. In addition, Wang Dabao also said that the three of you can go to his house and identify all the servants. See if the servant who lied to you is still there. If this person is still there, as long as you confront him face to face, you will naturally know what is going on."
After saying that, he looked at the man faintly.
The man's expression was particularly dignified and very nervous. He really didn't understand who wanted to harm him and what was the purpose of harming him.
However, since Ang Lee said so, he also wanted to go to Wang Dabao's house to identify whether this matter was a trap or not.
"Okay, then what time should I go tomorrow?"
The man asked.
"Go early in the morning! Just take a day off and bring the other two people who were cheated. "
Ang Lee said.
The man nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. I will go and find the two of them tonight. I will go there early tomorrow morning. I must make this matter clear."
Obviously, the man was also very angry. If he was really cheated, he would definitely not forgive the person who cheated him. However, he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt very worried. It seemed that the person who cheated him was the person he trusted the most. His heart was really uneasy.
"It's here. The dishes have just been cooked."
Soon, the woman came out with the cooked dishes.
It wasn't that she didn't want to invite Ang Lee to sit in the house. It was really because the house was colder than outside. There wasn't even a decent table. Moreover, there was a strong smell. As such, it was better to sit in the open-air courtyard. Moreover, the courtyard was relatively spacious and was the most suitable place.
"Okay! Let's talk while eating. "
Ang Lee said with a smile and let the man eat together.
"Noble Lady, the children …"
The man was anxious and didn't know what to say.
"It's okay. When they were in school, they already had dinner. Their stomachs are full. Don't worry about them. Let's eat."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
Although he had eaten a lot of delicacies, sometimes what he ate wasn't the food, but his mood. When he was in a good mood, anything he ate would be delicious. If he was in a bad mood, he wouldn't feel comfortable eating anything. At this moment, being able to chat and eat with a new person who didn't know his identity was the best feeling. Moreover, this woman's cooking skills were also very good. The dishes she made had a unique flavor. Ang Lee ate very comfortably.
"The food is good. You have married a good wife!"
Ang Lee said with a smile.
In fact, cooking was only secondary. The most important thing was loyalty. In this family, the man hadn't been able to earn money for so many years. He hadn't been able to bring enough material foundation to the family. However, as the wife, she had always been protecting the family. She didn't leave the family because her husband couldn't earn money. This quality was extremely precious and couldn't be bought with any money. Having such a wife was the biggest blessing in this silly man's life.
The dishes were vegetables and livestock from the village. The wine was also the rice wine brewed by the neighbors. Although the grade was relatively low, the taste was actually not bad.
During the meal, Ang Lee and the man chatted casually. They dared to talk about all kinds of topics. Chatting with such a silly man, Ang Lee found himself particularly relaxed and comfortable.
That was because this kind of silly man actually spoke the truth without any ulterior motives. Chatting with this kind of person would make one feel particularly relaxed without any pressure at all. One could tell one's inner thoughts to one's heart without worrying about being framed or caught by others. In short, this was a real conversation.
Although they were only working for others at the lowest level, the man had experienced a lot of things. He would experience some interesting things in each mansion, such as peeking at the pretty little maids. When he was lucky, he could even see the nobles at the infanta level. Of course, he could only glance at them from afar and couldn't see their faces clearly. However, in his heart, he would imagine that these women were very beautiful, like fairies.
Men were born lustful, especially men who worked. It was inevitable that some of them would be frivolous. It was said that if you couldn't get it, you could do it well. Their status naturally couldn't come into contact with noble women, and they didn't know what noble women were like. Therefore, their hearts were more greedy. As a result, even if they only saw a back, it was enough for them to be excited for a few days. They would even talk about it for a few months. Whenever they met someone, they would tell them where they saw someone's back. That kind of happy expression was needless to say.
Ang Lee had also mingled among the poor. Naturally, he knew the morality of these working people very well. Therefore, whether the man was telling the truth or not, Ang Lee could understand. And what the man in front of him said was obviously true. Not a single word was false.
People must be happy in life. Even if the conditions were difficult, they had to find happiness. People of different classes had different ways of finding happiness. The rich could eat delicacies, have a group of wives and concubines, and be successful and famous.
The poor could also find their own happiness. For example, occasionally eating fish and meat was happiness. Although they didn't have a group of wives and concubines, they could be excited for a long time when they occasionally saw a young lady from a rich family. This was happiness. Life was full of happiness, but some people weren't good at discovering it.
Although this man was often cheated by others, almost every year, causing him to live a life of debt, he was always smiling when he saw people. Just now, San Li An told him that he was very likely to be cheated, but when he drank and ate meat, he was still smiling, as if these things were not enough to make him feel pain and worry. This was simple. This man was a simple man, a very simple and good person.
"Father, what do you want to eat?"
When they were almost done eating, Tang Er ran back. Shuang 'er and a group of children also ran over. Although they all had dinner when they were in school, after running for such a long time, the food in their stomachs was probably almost consumed. They also felt a little hungry.
"Tang Er, go and take out the fruits from the car and give them to these children. Share them all! Don't leave a single piece. "
Ang Lee said generously.
Tang Er was naturally not a stingy person. There were a lot of pastries at home. In the eyes of Tang Er, they were worthless. He wouldn't feel distressed no matter how much he gave away. Soon, he took out a lot of pastries and let all the children play with him take as much as they wanted.
These children were also not polite. They all reached out to grab the pastries, hating that they had one less hand. The pockets and hands of their clothes were full of pastries. Even so, half of the pastries were not distributed and were placed on the broken wooden bench in Shuang 'er's yard.
However, the children had already begun to move their mouths. They started to eat. As long as they finished the pastries in their hands, they could continue to take more. These children's ability to move their mouths was not bad. They quickly finished the pastries in one hand. Then, they continued to take more without hesitation. As long as they could take more, they would not be polite.
Among all the children, the one who ate the least was Ang Lee's Tang Er. This kid had eaten these pastries since he was young and had long been tired of them. Therefore, he was not interested in these pastries. It was just that when he saw others eating desperately, he also started to eat. In fact, looking at his appearance, he didn't want to eat and forced himself to eat.
These little guys could also eat. It didn't take long for the remaining pastries to be wiped out until only a little was left. Of course, everyone's pockets and hands were full.
"It's almost time. We should go back. Tang Er, we should go."
Ang Lee left with Tang Er.
The man and woman naturally followed behind to send them off. Many children also followed. They were very enthusiastic to let Tang Er come again when he was free and come to play with them more often.
Of course, it was estimated that this kid was like this because there was food. They all knew that Tang Er had a rich father. As long as Tang Er came, he would definitely bring them a lot of good pastries.
After Ang Lee left, the man also left home and went to the other two families who were cheated. He made an appointment with them to go to Wang Dabao's house together tomorrow morning.
When the other two heard that there was a trap in this matter, they were naturally shocked. In any case, they would not refuse the man's request. They were all coolies and were not afraid of wearing shoes. If they were really cheated, they would definitely not accept it. They would definitely seek justice for themselves.
They naturally attached great importance to such a big matter. After a few people discussed it, they went directly to Wang Dabao's residence overnight. However, they did not enter Wang Dabao's villa. Instead, they temporarily rested in a secluded small temple not far away. They stayed for a while so as not to delay the big matter.
As for the work early in the morning, they couldn't care so much and didn't ask for leave because at this moment, the man and the two unlucky people were already suspicious of the foreman in their hearts. Therefore, they didn't care about this and went to Wang Dabao's house first. Anyway, planting trees wasn't an important position. Missing work wasn't a big deal. In this industry, occasional absenteeism was a very common phenomenon. As long as it wasn't too frequent and they explained it well afterward, the foreman generally wouldn't blame them. After all, who didn't have an important matter at home? Planting trees wasn't a strict assembly line. It didn't matter if anyone was missing, and there wouldn't be any loss.
Early in the morning, Ang Lee went to work as usual. This matter was handed over to his butler to do. Anyway, the butler's face was big enough. When Wang Dabao saw Ang Lee's butler last time, his back was bent to ninety degrees. Therefore, he could do it completely if he was asked to do it.
Ang Lee had more than one butler. The chief butler was his wife, Yan Ruyu. The rest of the butlers were maids and servants. They were in charge of different things. This division of labor could reduce the pressure of each butler. Otherwise, if everything was handed over to an outsider, Ang Lee wouldn't be at ease. It would be easy to lose control. However, in the eyes of businessmen, any butler couldn't be offended.
Because they had made an appointment the day before, Wang Dabao woke up early in the morning and asked the servants to prepare wine and dishes. Then, he went to the gate to welcome them personally.
