Chang Wen asked, "sister-in-law, why didn't you see your husband?"
"He's helping people build houses, and he won't come back until dinner. My husband is a carpenter. He helps people build houses and make furniture all day. I run this small restaurant. I'm not only a landlady, but also a cook and a waiter. I have a nephew of my mother's family here to help me. He goes out early and comes back late every day. Today, my nephew's family is busy, so he went back early. "
Chang Wen asked, "sister-in-law, have you had no guests in recent days? If you have so few guests, you won't make much money. "
The landlady sighed and said, "two pairs of guests have come this week. In addition to you, a couple also came the night before last. They stayed here for one night and left."
Chang Wen quickly asked, "which couple also came to take photos?"
"No, that couple is strange. The man is fat and chubby, just like a butcher. The woman is gentle and small. I always feel that they are not like a couple. The man said it was a couple, but the woman kept silent
As soon as Chang Wen heard it, she knew that the strange couple she was talking about should be the direction and the bean paste.
It seems that he and Wang Xiaoman's bareheaded eyes are quite accurate. The direction and Dousha really spent the night in this town.
Chang Wen quickly asked, "sister-in-law, what's the man's name?"
"His surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Fei. I want to laugh when I hear that. Isn't there a Zhang Fei in the romance of the Three Kingdoms? Here comes another Zhang Fei. I think this Zhang Fei really looks a bit like Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms."
Wang Xiaoman asked lightly: "sister-in-law, the man's name is Zhang Fei, and the woman's name is sun Er Niang, right?"
The landlady laughed and said, "I didn't ask the name of the woman. We are quite remote here. We don't have a tight control. We don't check the ID card for the registration of accommodation. Just report a name at will."
Chang Wen said half jokingly, "you don't even need your ID card. If the gangster comes in, it's dangerous."
"Ha ha... I can't earn much money in this small shop, and the gangsters can't look up to me. I'm Xu Niang, and the gangsters won't be interested in me. What are you afraid of?"
Chang Wen joked: "sister-in-law, in fact, you are still pretty. Although you are a half-time Xu Niang, you still have charm."
"Little brother, thanks for your praise, I'll take your heart. To tell you the truth, women like to be praised for being beautiful. Although I know I'm a little ugly, I'm still very happy when people praise me for being beautiful. "
Wang Xiaoman solemnly said: "sister-in-law, you are not ugly at all, but life is too hard, a few more wrinkles on your face."
The landlady is ugly enough. She has a short figure, a big butt, and a face full of wrinkles. It's not too bad to see her 60 years old.
"Hee hee... No one has praised me for several years. Today, you two flatter me one by one. I feel that I am about to fly to the sky."
The landlady was very happy. She opened her voice and said, "the guests who stay in my shop are usually business people. These guys only have money in their eyes. They don't bother to look at me, let alone flatter me. Take Zhang Fei, who came the day before yesterday. When he saw me, he frowned, as if he hated me very much. "
Chang Wen asked, "sister-in-law, is the woman Zhang Fei brought beautiful?"
"Beautiful, it's really beautiful. I can't figure out how such a beautiful girl can fall in love with Zhang Fei."
Wang Xiaoman replied: "it's not surprising that radish and cabbage have their own love."
Just at dinner, the boss wife's husband came back.
The landlady asked, "have you had dinner?"
"After eating and drinking a lot of wine, I felt dizzy. I went to sleep."
The boss wife's husband is a short man, thin, he and the boss wife's figure is just the opposite, a fat and a thin.
"You go to bed."
The boss's husband staggered into the room.
She sighed and said, "my husband is good at everything. He just likes to drink. He doesn't die when he sees wine."
Chang Wen said: "sister-in-law, your husband can work as a carpenter. He is a craftsman. He works as a carpenter outside. You run a small restaurant at home. You have a good life."
Wang Xiaoman looked around and asked, "how many children do you have, sister-in-law?"
The sister-in-law sighed and said dejectedly, "as soon as I mention children, I feel depressed. When I first got married, I got pregnant three times in a row, but I gave birth three times. The first miscarriage was due to carrying a load. The load of more than 100 Jin was on the shoulder. After walking five miles, the load was on the shoulder, and the miscarriage happened. "
Wang Xiaoman said with regret: "sister-in-law, you don't pay much attention to your body."
"The second miscarriage was because when I was pregnant, my husband was drunk and someone called me to pick him up. I fell down on the way and gave birth."
Wang Xiaoman sighed again and said, "what a pity."
"The third miscarriage was a bit of a miracle. I was pregnant for three months, but I didn't know it. Once I went to the fair with my friends, and several people were crazy. As soon as I came back from the fair, I bled. Then I knew I was pregnant."
Wang Xiaoman regretfully asked: "sister-in-law, you are too careless."
The landlady said with a wry smile: "maybe this is fate. It's destined that I shouldn't have children. So, I had three pregnancies in a row and all of them gave birth. Now I've figured out that it's OK to have no children. I can earn money and spend it myself. When I'm old, I can't climb, so I live in a nursing home."
Chang Wen asked, "sister-in-law, your mother's nephew helps you run this hotel. Did you adopt this nephew?"
"Ha ha... I'm not going to take care of a child. People say that if you take care of a child, you can't take care of your family. My nephew is in his twenties. He went to a technical secondary school and worked in the city for two years. He was fired. He couldn't find a job for a while, so he came to help me. "
Chang Wen asked suspiciously, "your nephew is here to help. Why didn't you let him live in the shop?"
The landlady turned her lips and said, "I'd like him to stay in the shop. If anything happens at night, I can help him. However, my nephew has the habit of playing mahjong. He has a group of friends who will get together to play mahjong at night."
"Is your nephew far from here?"
"It's not far, that is, four Li Road. He'll be home in ten minutes by bike."
The boss's nephew likes playing mahjong. It's a bad habit.
Generally speaking, people who play mahjong are fond of gambling. To put it bluntly, most of them are gambling.
People who gamble all have the nature of gambling. If they lose, they will lose. At that time, even their wives and children will sell and pay off their gambling debts.
Chang Wen can't help but worry about the landlady. The landlady has no children and the nephew is a gambler. If she loses the bet, she will steal the money from the landlady. Maybe she will kill the landlady and occupy her hotel and property.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in society.
Chang Wen reminds people of his kindness: "sister-in-law, gambling is not a good habit for your nephew. I heard that once gamblers lose money, they will take risks in order to pay back the money, and they will do everything they kill and steal."
The landlady sighed and said, "I often advise my nephew, but they don't listen. My husband also reminded me that it's better not to let this nephew work in the hotel, but I thought: anyway, he's also my nephew. He's not going to attack me. "
