Chapter 154
"Look at what time it is now." Gu Bing said helplessly, "Even if I ask for you, it has to be tomorrow."
Zhou Andong nodded, and the two chatted for a while before he went back. As soon as he entered the room, he heard the phone ring.
Picking up the phone, Jian Qiu's voice came through: "Everything is arranged; I'll be home after eight tomorrow morning, remember to pick me up at the station."
Zhou Andong said: "Why are you taking the late train?"
Jian Qiu said: "Sleeper, just sleep and I'll be home, how good."
"Alright!" Zhou Andong said helplessly: "The train is very chaotic, pay attention to your own safety."
"Don't worry!" Hearing Zhou Andong's concerned words, Jian Qiu felt warm in her heart and wished she could fly back immediately.
Zhou Andong chatted with Jian Qiu on the phone for a while and told her about what had happened in the past two days.
The night was as thick as ink. A black shadow climbed over the wall and entered Zhao Guifen's courtyard, then crawled to the door, raised his hand, and knocked on it.
"Who?" The light turned on, and Zhou Xiaode's voice came.
The black shadow was Zhou Anlei. Only then did he see clearly that there were glass fragments everywhere on the ground, and there was no glass on the window, which was covered with a large piece of plastic cloth.
"Me!" Zhou Anlei said softly, terrified.
"It's Xiaolei!" Zhao Guifen's voice came, followed by the sound of footsteps, and with a creak, the door opened, "How did you run back?"
Zhou Anlei entered the outer room, picked up the water scoop, scooped water from the vat, and drank it down in one go. Then he lifted the cotton curtain and entered the room, seeing that the room had been smashed into a mess, and even the newly bought big color TV had been smashed.
"Mom, Dad, what's going on?"
Zhao Guifen gritted her teeth and said: "Your brother was arrested by the police. Those people who asked your brother to arrange work came over to ask for money. I didn't give it, so they smashed our house."
Zhou Anlei cried. At this time, he had already become a bird of fright: "Mom, Dad, was Eldest Brother also arrested?"
"Yes!" Zhao Guifen asked: "Weren't the people in your factory all arrested? How did you run out?"
Zhou Anlei said: "At that time, I was in the restroom. Because it was far from the workshop, I saw the police arresting people, so I climbed over the wall and ran, then hid in a firewood pile. I only dared to come out when it was dark."
Zhou Xiaode had a face full of gloom: "This family is ruined; how will we live in the future?"
Zhao Guifen roared: "If we can't live, then we won't."
Zhou Xiaode stopped talking, just puffed on his cigarette, sighing one after another.
Zhao Guifen stopped paying attention to him, but took out 2,000 yuan from under the cabinet: "Xiaolei, take this money and hurry to your uncle's house to hide for a few days."
Zhou Xiaode couldn't help but say: "Going to his uncle's house is useless; go to the South. You're such a big person, you won't starve to death."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Guifen nodded vigorously, "Go to your uncle's house, the police will definitely be able to find you; go to the South."
Zhou Xiaode said: "Your brother caused such a big disaster; it's hard to say whether he can save his life, so you can't have any more trouble. After arriving in the South, find a job first, and don't contact home for a year or two."
Zhou Anlei's eyes lit up when he heard he was going to the South. It wasn't that he hadn't said he wanted to go to the South with several people in the village before, but Zhao Guifen wouldn't let him go.
Zhou Xiaode said: "Leave tonight, don't wait for tomorrow."
Zhou Anlei excitedly took the money and put it in his pocket without even counting it.
"I'll pack some clothes for you." Zhao Guifen found a large bag and stuffed a few changes of clothes into it, "If you're missing anything, buy it when you get there; don't be reluctant to spend money."
Zhou Anlei carried the bag and ran out of the room without looking back. By the time Zhao Guifen came out, he was already gone.
"Sigh!" Zhou Xiaode sighed, "Go to Second Brother's house tomorrow, ask Zhou Andong to pull some strings; maybe he can save Anbin's life."
Zhao Guifen was full of unwillingness: "Isn't it just selling fake liquor? Can he be shot?"
Zhou Xiaode wished he could slap this woman who didn't understand anything: "The fake liquor he produced killed three people; what's the difference between this and intentional homicide? If he isn't shot, who is?"
Zhao Guifen knew this matter was very serious, but didn't expect he would be shot. This finally made her afraid.
"Then, then, then... what should we do?"
Zhou Xiaode said: "Didn't I say, go to Second Brother's house tomorrow, beg Dongzi, and let him find some connections. Also, remember to take out the two bottles of Yanghe Daqu I hid and send them over tomorrow."
"What?" Zhao Guifen stared, "Still send him liquor?"
Zhou Xiaode said helplessly: "If you don't want to save Eldest, you don't have to send it."
"Why send it to him?" Zhao Guifen screamed: "Anbin is his eldest brother, Zhou Andong; one stroke can't write two 'Zhou' characters. If he doesn't save him, he's a beast."
Zhou Xiaode waved his hand: "Sleep."
Zhou Andong got up before seven in the morning, brushed his teeth and washed his face, went out for a run, did a set of boxing, and then drove straight to the train station.
Arriving at the train station at 8:10, when he parked the car and came to the exit, the train had just arrived.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw Jian Qiu come out from inside, followed by two men, each carrying a large bag, looking very heavy.
"Dongzi!" Jian Qiu called out happily when she saw Zhou Andong, walking over quickly. The two men behind her also followed. They were in their thirties, wearing suits, looking like well-dressed gentlemen.
"These two bags are too heavy; thanks to these two kind brothers for helping me carry them over."
Seeing Jian Qiu and Zhou Andong being very intimate, the two men realized the flower had an owner, and their mood suddenly became very bad, just as they were about to put the bags on the ground.
Zhou Andong suddenly clasped his hands and bowed: "Two brothers, my car is over there; help us carry them directly over."
"Thank you two brothers!" Jian Qiu also said very politely.
The two men might not care about Zhou Andong's words, but Jian Qiu's 'thank you' instantly made them feel light.
"No problem, we'll be good to the end; we'll help you take them over."
Arriving at the parking lot, the two guys put down the bags and looked at Jian Qiu, wanting to say something, but saw Zhou Andong looking at them with a smile. I don't know why, but that smile looked a bit terrifying to them?
"Thank you!" Zhou Andong bared his teeth, waved goodbye to the two men.
The two guys left unwillingly, looking back after a few steps.
"Pfft!" Jian Qiu couldn't help but laugh.
"You're still laughing?" Zhou Andong said irritably: "Those two guys, at first glance, have bad intentions."
"I know!" Jian Qiu blinked: "But there's free labor to use, what reason do I have not to use it?"
"A woman's mouth is a deceiving ghost; the more beautiful the woman, the less her words can be believed." Zhou Andong muttered, picked up the bags, and put them into the trunk.
"What are you saying? Muttering." Jian Qiu didn't hear clearly and asked.
"Nothing!" Zhou Andong hurriedly changed the subject, "What's in the bags? They're really heavy."
Jian Qiu said: "Books An Jing asked me to get from her house, all for tutoring Xiaoqin."
