Chapter 166 Li Dachang also came to watch the rain
Ah Jiu looked at grandma intently.
Her fingers made various gestures in unpredictable ways, which really shocked Ah Jiu's eyes.
How did she tuck her middle finger under her little finger, and how did she wrap her thumb outside her ring finger? She tried quietly, but found that she couldn't do it, so the finger had to be broken off and glued back together.
The fingers were changing faster and faster.
The wind, which was as cold as autumn, really started to blow, and several treetops in the backyard of the government office that were better off than alive moved.
Some fine dust blew up from under the dry rockery.
Ah Jiu recognized the man who was walking hurriedly outside the government office carrying a long gown at a glance.
There were not many people in the courtyard, so he obviously followed his gaze and looked over. Then he straightened his back and strode past Ah Jiu.
That look seemed to say: If you want my money, you have to pay with your life. Now you know how powerful it is.
The person who looked away had already entered the pavilion. Mr. Li bowed ninety degrees: "Is Mr. Wang okay when you come in?"
"It's fine, why are you here?" Master Wang gestured to Mr. Li to sit down.
"Aren't the grassroots planning to open a shop in the city? The people below you said that I am from Menghua City and insisted on checking the grassroots. As a result, the Chamber of Commerce has not approved it yet."
Mr. Li knew that he had given five hundred taels of gold as a gift. After sitting down, he was not at all shy and poured himself a cup of tea.
"It's easy to handle. I just ask someone to say hello." Mr. Wang looked at Mr. Wang from time to time.
"That's good, thank you sir." Mr. Li quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
Looking back: "Master Wang, didn't you invite me last time? God didn't give this Wang family face, why did you show off again today?"
"Speaking of this matter, you came just in time. I promised Mrs. Wang that if she prays for rain and dew, she will release her son and daughter-in-law."
"What? Mr. Wang, this is impossible."
As soon as Li Dachang said these words, he saw Mr. Wang's expression turned ugly and stopped talking immediately.
"Whether it will rain or not is still unknown, why are you panicking?"
Compared with the generous salary awarded to high-ranking officials, Li Yuanwai's five hundred taels of gold was a dead thing, and what he got was a living thing.
At least if it really rains by then, his promotion to the fifth level cannot be measured by five hundred taels of gold.
If you don't get what you asked for, just as the girl said, just kill him.
"What you said is absolutely true, what you said is absolutely true." Li Yuanwai agreed.
Just then, there was a rumble.
Muffled thunder was wrapped in dark clouds and slowly gathered over Nanming City.
Ah Jiu's pupils shrank. This was the first time he saw the dark clouds pressing down so low. It was much stronger than last time.
"Ah?" Mr. Li was startled and hurried out of the pavilion to look at the sky.
She looked at Mrs. Wang in disbelief. Is this old woman really capable of asking for rain?
Looking at the sky again, suddenly strong winds were blowing, thunder was rolling, and streaks of lightning seemed to be hitting people's heads.
Mr. Li was so frightened that he shrank his neck and got into the pavilion, looking at the rapidly changing sky outside with an extremely ugly expression.
Ah Jiu looked around, and the experienced people of the older generation knew that when the wind blows, there will be no rain.
Until half an hour later, the wind suddenly stopped, the treetops were motionless, and the dark clouds in the sky were eerily silent, like black tattered quilts pressing down one after another.
It made me feel depressed, and my clothes were wet with hot sweat.
Just when it was extremely hot, lightning cracked in the sky, almost tearing the sky apart.
"Clatter!"
A sudden heavy rain poured down, as if the sky was leaking, the vision was blurred for an instant, and the sound of rain shook my ears.
"It's raining, it's raining..." Ah Jiu jumped up with his head.
"Miss Jiu, it's really raining... Oh my god, it's raining..." Yunhao jumped up.
All the government officials stretched out their hands to look at the water in their hands, thinking they were dreaming: "This is really rain."
"Getting off?" Mr. Wang stood up suddenly under the pavilion, his eyes widening.
Officer Li looked at the shower curtain falling from the eaves of the pavilion in a daze, and stammered: "It's really... it's really bad."
