Chapter 476 The bumps turned into two peanut-sized bumps

Most of these long-distance bus drivers have also made agreements with the restaurants.
You can earn a certain amount of money by picking up a busload of passengers.
However, Qiao Changdong also knew that some of the long-distance bus drivers and restaurant owners were not good people either. They would bring passengers there and force them to make purchases.
Qiao Changdong certainly couldn't do something so unscrupulous, but he could still give the van driver a little money to put up a poster or advertisement on it.
Qiao Changdong acted immediately. Upon returning to the hotel, he asked Wu Yunkai to arrange for someone to take care of it.
No sooner had Qiao Qiao and her group arrived at the Dongqiao Hotel than Old Master Shen caught up with them.
Grandpa Shen didn't come alone. He somehow got the news that Yan Liti was planning to put on a fireworks show for Qiao Qiao.
On the day Qiao Changdong and his group arrived at the hotel, around 8 a.m., two truckloads of fireworks were delivered to the hotel entrance, waiting for Qiao Changdong to receive them.
The fireworks that Yan Liti ordered were also supposed to arrive at the hotel between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. today.
According to the custom in Hongfeng Town, fireworks are set off on the night before one's birthday to celebrate.
Therefore, the fireworks show that Yan Liti prepared for Qiao Qiao was to be set off at 8:08 pm on May 9th.
No one knew the exact amount ordered.
But I know that it takes more than 20 minutes to let more than 100 barrels sit at once.
The fireworks weren't set off at the hotel, but rather at the Qiaobao Amusement Park nearby, which she had already purchased and was currently building.
Such a large fireworks show was registered with the police station a few days ago, and many reporters have also come and been waiting nearby.
When Qiao Changdong received the call from the hotel's front desk, he was using the same bottle of medicated oil that Mo Wenpei had given him to wipe Qiao Qiao's forehead.
Qiao Qiao slept the whole way, and now she was no longer dizzy, and her energy was much better. The redness on her forehead had also subsided, but the swelling had not gone down.
Instead, two small bumps, about the size of peanuts, appeared in the two places where she had scratched them before.
It doesn't hurt, itch, or feel numb.
Everyone was even more convinced that it was a mosquito bite.
Qiao Changdong applied Tiger Balm to the two lumps three times a day, and after applying it, he would massage them for a while.
While I was getting a massage, I received a call from the front desk on the first floor. I thought it was because the fireworks that Yan Liti had ordered had arrived.
He found it strange that the fireworks Yan Liti ordered were delivered so early; weren't they supposed to arrive around 1 p.m.?
And why are there two trucks?
What about the others?
Qiao Changdong handed the Tiger Balm to the boys next to him: "You guys keep an eye on your sister. I'm going downstairs for a bit. Sui Sui, be gentle and massage her again. These mosquitoes are really vicious; this bite hasn't gone down after all this time."
“Okay.” Pei Yiyang took the Tiger Balm from Qiao Changdong, then hugged the little girl, who had shrunk ten centimeters since returning from her trip to Nanzong Mountain, and placed her on his lap.
Because Qiao Qiao's trip was so drastically shortened, neither the clothes they brought nor those in the hotel had any clothes that Qiao Qiao could wear.
Yan Liti had to go to the department store early in the morning to buy clothes for Qiao Qiao temporarily, and she and Shen Qingyan had not returned yet.
When Qiao Changdong arrived downstairs to receive the fireworks, he learned that these fireworks were not ordered by Yan Liti at all.
Who else could it be but Yan Liti?
This is self-evident.
Qiao Changdong knew that it was probably Old Master Shen, who had been following them all the way.
Qiao Changdong didn't have anyone unload the goods. Instead, he waited at the hotel entrance for a while until Shen Qingyan and Yan Liti returned after buying clothes.
Yan Liti, carrying several large bags, was extremely disgusted after learning the whole story from Qiao Changdong.
"How dare he? Two truckloads of food, is that how you treat a beggar?"
However, despite saying that, she didn't make things difficult for the two truck drivers. She couldn't very well make them take it all back as is. She let them take it to the amusement park first, where someone would naturally take it.
When Yan Liti finished dealing with the matter and entered the hotel, she met Old Master Shen and immediately began to mock him without any politeness.
"If your allowance isn't enough, then don't embarrass yourself in public, okay? Two truckloads of food for a pittance, how can you be so shameless?"
Before the war, the Shen family did indeed engage in some business.
However, later, when Old Master Shen joined the army, he encountered war and his business gradually declined. On the contrary, Shen Qingrong's lineage, relying on Old Master Shen's name, is now making his business bigger and bigger.
Of course, no matter how big, it can't be bigger than the Yan family.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been squeezed into bankruptcy by Yan Liti and several branches of the Yan family in just half a year.
Grandpa Shen did not argue with Yan Liti about this.
Perhaps it's because of Yan Liti's harshness and provocation over the past few months that I've lost my temper.
He was indeed not as wealthy as Yan Liti; he had spent almost all of his life savings in the three months following the New Year.
In this respect, he would not compare himself with Yan Liti.
He felt that as long as he did his best, that was enough.
Yan Liti slammed a stick into the cotton quilt, instantly losing interest. She rolled her eyes at Old Master Shen and walked away.
When lunchtime arrived, we saw Grandpa Chang, with his hands behind his back and taking small, quick steps, happily walking in through the hotel entrance.
Everyone then had a clear understanding of who had leaked the fireworks show information to Old Master Shen.
Who else could it be but this gossipy and incredibly idle old man, Chang?!
No wonder Grandpa Shen knew so much about their itinerary.
Before they even arrived in Hanyang City, Old Master Shen had already arrived.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Is my face not clean?"
Seeing everyone in the private room staring intently at him, Old Master Chang touched his face, still looking completely innocent.
"Oh, the food is quite good. Would you mind having an extra pair of chopsticks?"
As he spoke, the old man, not at all shy, found an empty seat, asked the waiter for new bowls and chopsticks, and began to eat with relish.
"..." others.
"For ordinary people, it would be welcome, but for traitors, it's not so welcome."
These words were spoken by Yan Liti, and of course, she was the only one present who could say them.
"Traitor? That's definitely not a good thing. Arrest him, he must be arrested and executed!"
Grandpa Chang narrowed his small eyes, quickly picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, nodding repeatedly in agreement with Yan Liti's words.
"..." Yan Liti.
This person's skin is even thicker than hers!
That's absolutely shameless!!!
What a shameless old man Chang! He seemed oblivious to Yan Liti's glare, happily enjoying a delicious meal before going off to discuss chess with Fu Yu.
