Scumbag Training Manual

Chapter 294 Tracking
Pei Xin went home nervously and waited for news from Pei Songzhi, but after waiting for three or four days, there was no news.

But the money in his hand was decreasing little by little, so Pei Xin could only calculate the expenses, changing from smoking once a day to once every two days.

During the days when he was not allowed to smoke, he looked restless and had a bad temper. Everyone wanted to get angry, and he scolded and cried several maids at home.

Chen Ling was the first to discover what was wrong with Pei Xin. He said to Chen Miao worriedly: "Sister, I think there is something wrong with Brother Xin. He looks exactly the same as when I went to the capital to look for him. He won't be going there again. Are you secretly smoking?"

Chen Miao also became vigilant immediately, thinking that Pei Xin paid 20 taels of silver from the cashier, but bought such a valuable hair buckle for her mother-in-law. It's suspicious.

She said to Chen Ling: "Go to Baoruizhai these few days to find out what the price of the hair button is, how Xin'er got it, and pay attention to his behavior these days, maybe he Most likely, as you said, he started smoking again."

Chen Ling said: "I asked the doctor who came to our house last time, and he said that the shredded tobacco in Fushouju is indeed addictive, but you can quit it if you last for more than seven days. But if you relapse, think It is very difficult to quit. And I heard that if this kind of shredded tobacco is smoked for a long time, it will make people lose weight and lose energy, which is very harmful.”

Chen Miao said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, then Xin'er must be given abstinence! Don't worry about spending money, if it goes on for a long time, it will ruin him!"

Chen Ling nodded: "Okay, while he's at home, I'll go to Baoruizhai first."

Chen Ling went out after saying that, Chen Miao asked the servants to boil some pear syrup, and brought it to Pei Xin's room by herself.

Knocking on the door, Pei Xin's suppressed angry voice came from inside: "Who? Didn't I say that no one is allowed to come in?"

Chen Miao remained calm and said with a light smile, "Xin'er, it's me."

After a while, there was the sound of walking in the house, and then the door opened.

Pei Xin's face was flushed abnormally, even his eyelids were red, after seeing Chen Miao, Pei Xin's expression improved a bit, and he asked, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Chen Miao said with a smile: "Seeing that you eat very little at noon, I asked the kitchen to cook some pear syrup for you, you can drink some."

Pei Xin hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Thank you sister-in-law."

He didn't let Chen Miao into the room, he just reached out to pick up the small bowl of pear syrup, and drank it in one gulp.

He put the empty bowl back into the tray in Chen Miao's hand, and just about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he rushed into the room, clutching his lips.

In less than a moment, there was a "wow" vomiting sound.

Chen Miao's complexion changed, she hurried in and asked anxiously, "Xin'er, are you alright?"

Pei Xin said weakly behind the bed: "It's okay, sister-in-law, you can go out, I want to rest for a while, and let them not bother me."

Chen Miaopao pinched the fingers under the sleeves tightly, and then said with a light smile: "Okay, you have a good rest, if you are really uncomfortable, please tell me, I will invite a doctor to take a look."

Pei Xin said weakly: "No need, sister-in-law, you can go out, I just need to rest for a while."

Chen Miao had no choice but to go out, but her mood became more and more heavy.

An hour later, Chen Ling came back from Baoruizhai with a grim expression on his face.

He came directly to Chen Miao, and when he saw Chen Miao, he said: "Sister, I'm afraid we will all be deceived by the new brother."

Chen Miao frowned: "How?"

Chen Ling said angrily: "Baoruizhai has made two types of that hair buckle, one is sapphire and the other is coral agate. The coral agate is sold at 520 taels. It also costs 480 taels. How much money does the new brother have on hand? Even if there is a family discount, he still can’t afford it.”

Chen Miao was silent for a while, and told Chen Ling about Pei Xin's expression when she met Pei Xin just now.

Chen Ling's complexion changed, and he said: "The doctor said that such a situation will occur if he smokes shredded tobacco for too long. If he doesn't smoke for a day, he will not want to eat or drink, and he will vomit. The situation of the new brother is over. It's serious."

Chen Miao said quickly: "Don't tell your parents about this, so as not to make them anxious. Today you secretly watch Xin'er, no matter where he goes, you have to keep an eye on him, and tell me when he comes back."

Chen Ling nodded, "Understood."

Pei Xin originally thought about staying up all day today, saving some money and going to smoke tomorrow, but he didn't expect that after drinking a glass of candied pear water, his stomach couldn't take it anymore and he vomited it all up.

He was lying on the bed and his body was weak, like a dream or waking up, he was full of thoughts about how he looked like when he was smoking.

The more he thought about smoking, the more he couldn't bear it. He took out the money box and counted the money. There were still seven or eight taels of silver. Pei Xin simply counted four taels from it and put it in his arms. out.

Chen Miao looked coldly at Pei Xin's back as she went out, and winked at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling also chased after him, only to see Pei Xin running towards Fushouju in a daze.

Chen Ling gritted her teeth and followed, seeing Pei Xin rushing in and quickly disappearing into Fushou Residence.

Chen Ling didn't want to follow, so she found a hiding place and waited.

After about a meal, Pei Xincai came out of the room with a relaxed expression, but instead of walking in the direction of home, he turned around and headed northeast.

Chen Ling was secretly surprised, and followed quietly, but saw that Pei Xin was turning left and right, and was actually walking in the direction of Baoruizhai.

As soon as Pei Xin entered Baorui Zhai, Pei Songzhi came out to greet him. The two seemed to know each other very well, and they walked into the inner room together.

It was inconvenient for Chen Ling to follow in, but she secretly wondered, when did these two get along so well?
Chen Ling waited outside the door for another half an hour before Pei Xin came out with a smile on his face.

This time Pei Xin didn't go anywhere else, and went home directly.

After he entered the house, Chen Ling stood outside the door for a while before slowly entering.

After finding Chen Miao, Chen Ling told Chen Miao what she had seen and heard along the way. Chen Miao thought for a while and said, "I don't know what these two people are discussing again. You and Xin'er's room are next to each other. Let's pay more attention to him, if something happens, we can have a countermeasure."

Chen Ling nodded, "I see."

Chen Miao said again: "I think it's better to tell Dad about this matter. It's not good to have too many people know, but after all, Dad is the head of the family, so he has the right to know about this matter."

Chen Ling said, "I think we need to tell one more person."

Chen Miao asked, "Who?"

Chen Ling lowered her voice and said, "I'm godfather."
