Chapter 776: Ma Huangshang

"Time to eat!" Second Uncle Yuan Hongqi shouted, and then greeted people to start setting tables, taking stools, and arranging bowls and chopsticks.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and everyone was hungry long ago. Hearing it was time to eat, everyone started moving.

Zhou Andong said to Wu Chao: "Go, move the wine and drinks from the car, everyone can drink whatever they want."

Twenty boxes of Yugong, twenty boxes of Jiang Xiaobai, ten boxes of Jiang Xiaomei, and dozens of boxes of iced black tea and "Very Cola" were moved into the courtyard.

Wu Chao and the others sat at three tables, the neighbors sat at four tables, and the family, including the children, also sat at three tables.

Originally, they were going to put a few tables in the house, but it was hot in the house, cool outside, and it was lively for everyone to sit together.

So, ten tables were all placed outside. Zhou Andong put two bottles of Yugong on each table, as well as medium-sized bottles of iced black tea and "Very Cola."

As for Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Xiaomei, whoever wanted to drink could go get it themselves. However, Zhou Andong thought that with Yugong wine, no one would drink Jiang Xiaobai.

The dishes were served in basins. If it wasn't enough, they could go to the pot and serve the dishes themselves. They were all family, so no one was picky.

A middle-aged man took the Yugong wine, opened the box, and unscrewed the cap.

"Yugong wine, more than sixty a bottle. I always hear people say it's good to drink, but I've always been reluctant to buy it. Today I finally get to drink it."

"Sixth Brother, take a good look!" A young man said: "This is a special supply version, with a seal, it's more than a hundred."

The middle-aged man was stunned: "There's such a thing?"

"Of course!" The young man took the wine and poured it for everyone one by one. He was the youngest at this table.

"Dongzi!" Yuan Hongbiao sat at the main table like a general, beckoning to Zhou Andong, "Come over quickly."

"Coming!" Zhou Andong took a basin, fished out a large intestine head and a large bone from the pot, and walked over.

Yuan Hongbiao took the wine bottle, first filled the old man's glass, then poured wine for Yuan Hongdang, Yuan Hongqi, and Yuan Hongjun, and finally wanted to pour for Zhou Andong.

"That won't do!" Zhou Andong hurriedly stopped him, grabbing the wine bottle, "How can a nephew let his uncle pour wine? That's too improper."

After saying that, Zhou Andong poured wine for Yuan Hongbiao, then poured for Yuan Hai and Yuan Tao, and finally it was Chen Yuan, the brother-in-law's turn. He said nothing to let him pour.

Xiao Bei took the wine: "Brother-in-law, I'm the youngest at this table. If you don't let my brother pour, is it okay if I pour for you?"

"Okay!" Chen Yuan helplessly took his hand off the cup.

Zhou Andong picked up his wine glass, started from the old man, and toasted a round.

Yuan Hongbiao looked and clicked his tongue: "Dongzi, huge capacity."

The old man laughed out loud: "Working as a factory director in a winery, he's been smoked out just by the smell."

Then, Zhou Andong went to other tables to toast a glass of wine, and the atmosphere was ignited.

This meal lasted until past ten o'clock before breaking up. It was almost twelve o'clock after cleaning up.

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu were pulled by Yuan Ying to stay at her place.

Old Comrade Zhou and Yuan Liying stayed at the old man and old lady's place.

Xiao Bei and Xiao Qin went to Third Uncle's place. As for Wu Chao and the others, they were all arranged in the neighbors' houses.

It's the countryside, conditions are limited, but there are plenty of places to stay. Just say hello, and anyone's house can accommodate them.

………………

July 15, 1993, the 26th day of the fifth lunar month, Thursday!

In just one night, the news that Ma Huangshang was shot dead in the police station for grabbing a gun and attacking the police spread throughout Qishi, and even many people in the provincial capital, Harashi, knew about it.

Inside Ma Huangshang's villa, more than a dozen people gathered, all Ma Huangshang's subordinates, figures who could make Qishi tremble if they stomped their feet.

At this time, these people all had red eyes, looking at a woman sitting opposite them.

This woman looked to be in her thirties, with long wavy hair. Her face had no makeup, and her eyes were bloodshot, looking very haggard, but it didn't affect her beauty at all.

"Big Sister-in-law!" A bald man threw his cigarette butt on the floor and stepped on it hard, "You've been sitting here all night, say something."

Last night, after that young man ran back, he notified these subordinates of Ma Huangshang, and everyone panicked, running here to discuss countermeasures.

And this woman was Ma Huangshang's wife, Huang Hui, a dancer in the city dance troupe. A few years ago, Ma Huangshang took a fancy to her and married her into his house through threats and intimidation.

She lived in a daze like this for two years. Ma Huangshang was truly good to her, so she accepted her fate and started taking over those legal businesses of Ma Huangshang.

After so many years, she didn't know whether she had feelings for Ma Huangshang or if she still hated him. Until last night, when she heard the news of Ma Huangshang's death, tears fell instantly.

When the brothers ran over to discuss countermeasures with her, she sat there motionless all night, saying nothing. But her mind was clear, and she had determined a lot.

The hatred she had for Ma Huangshang had been worn away at some point, but there was no love either. But having slept in the same bed for so many years, even if it was a dog by her side, there would definitely be feelings, so she shed tears.

"Big Sister-in-law!" The young man shouted softly.

Huang Hui finally reacted, scanning them: "What do you want me to say?"

A guy with yellow teeth and white hair said: "Big Brother had an accident, you have to come forward to stabilize the situation."

Huang Hui smiled, but this smile looked a bit cold.

"If I come forward, will you listen to me?"

"Listen!" The bald man was the first to express his stance, "You are our Big Sister-in-law, and you have been managing some of the businesses. Now that Big Brother has had an accident, of course, we have to listen to you."

"Good!" Huang Hui said: "Return immediately, dispose of all illegal businesses, especially yellow, gambling, and drugs."

"Ah?"

More than a dozen people looked at each other, and the bald man's eyes flickered.

"Big Sister-in-law!" The yellow-toothed guy said: "There are priorities in matters, now is not the time to say this."

"Right, right, right!" The bald man hurriedly said: "Business matters can be discussed later. Now we need to figure out how Big Brother died. There must be an explanation; we can't let him die so unclearly."

Whether Ma Huangshang had a mental illness, these guys knew best. They wouldn't believe that Ma Huangshang would be stupid enough to grab a gun and attack the police in the police station.

Huang Hui was silent for a moment: "The official used this method to kill Old Ma. Do you think they will give us a chance to turn things around?"

The bald man hesitated: "Contact that person, Big Brother's death is a big loss for him."

Huang Hui didn't speak again, stood up, and walked toward the stairs.

"Big Sister-in-law!"

A group of people stood up simultaneously and shouted.

Huang Hui walked up the stairs, thought for a moment, turned back: "In view of the fact that you usually respect me, I'll give you a warning. Leave Qishi immediately, run as far as you can." ===== CHAPTER 777 =====
