Chapter 71

~8 min read 1,580 words

Today it was still Lu Wei and Zhai Da cooking together; Wu Yue was an idle person, so he simply followed them to the vegetable market.

"You're responsible for buying vegetables now? Looks so troublesome."

Zhai Da compared the list sent by Lu Wei while purchasing item by item; today the little girl was going to make cucumber stir-fried meat slices and tomato stir-fried eggs.

"This is called a happy home life; young people don't understand."

"Where's Auntie Yu?"

"Working overtime a lot recently."

The big order that made the Maofang factory busy recently was most likely from President Yu; this was an honest boss, and besides high requirements for product quality, the profit left for the factory was even more than foreign trade orders.

Towels, socks, underwear... all small things, but the quantity was large.

But there was a small problem in that the Maofang factory was just a factory and didn't have its own brand, which was also a common problem for most old factories in this era.

Hmm... they did register a brand more than ten years ago, called "Big Beautiful," but it obviously couldn't be used now; it was too stupid.

However, Teacher Shen Rui gave a suggestion: President Yu's customer stickiness was high, and the attention to quality was higher than the brand, because the biggest brand was President Yu himself, so simply:

Let the Maofang factory directly use "Dongyang Maofang Factory" as the brand name, focusing on being honest, sturdy, and durable, evoking consumers' memories of the past.

Many old factories in the past produced things that were sturdy and durable, which was a common memory of many Chinese people.

Of course, part of people's memories had also been gradually modified to "domestic goods are no good."

The slogan was already thought of: "Established in 1953," and then the very earthy and aged logo of the Maofang factory was directly used as the logo and printed on it.

In short, Shen Rui's slight guidance made the people in the Maofang factory suddenly enlightened; in the eyes of many factory workers, whether their old factory could perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or even go a step further and stand up, depended on this order.

So Yu Xiaoli had been very busy recently, but she was Lu Wei's master after all, so arranging for her to get off work early was still doable.

In the vegetable market, when Zhai Da bought vegetables, his eyes were also constantly glancing around, wanting to see if there were any "special items."

He had discovered the 【Tin-Wrapped Weight】 here before.

He said to Wu Yue:

"I remind you again, this line of work won't last long; coming back to school is the right path..."

Wu Yue didn't listen: "There are private detectives abroad; why can't I? I also bought a voice changer, telescope, locator online..."

Suddenly, Zhai Da grabbed Wu Yue and hid in the corner.

Wu Yue didn't know why, but entered the state in a second, actively cooperating and hiding in.

"What's wrong?"

Zhai Da frowned, staring at a back from afar: "Met a troublesome person..."

He didn't expect to meet the other party in the vegetable market... If Lu Wei was the one buying vegetables today, it would be troublesome...

Lu Benqing...

Was he released...

Counting the time, almost a month had passed since he was reported and taken away, which was actually far beyond the normal duration.

But because Lu Wei didn't have a mobile phone number known to the other party, coupled with the fact that even the house was raided, this person hadn't appeared in Zhai Da's field of vision.

That Nokia little brick, the number was Wu Yue's father's discarded number, and to this day, there were only two contacts: Zhai Da and Yu Xiaoli.

Wu Yue looked in the direction of Zhai Da's gaze; the back indeed didn't look like a good person, but there was no need to hide: "What's wrong with this person?"

Zhai Da touched his chin: "A gambler, a beastly father of a friend of mine; he was sent in by me reporting gambling before, looks like he should have just come out."

Wu Yue, as a man aspiring to be a "City Hunter," was already very familiar with these regulations: "That's almost a month, right? Will gambling detention last so long?"

Generally speaking, the cap is 15 days, and Lu Benqing is a repeat offender, so it's correct to go directly to the cap, but the time still doesn't match...

The two didn't know that someone had a big brain hole, gambling with dice with others in the detention center, and then fought because someone didn't admit the account, so he happily added 15+10.

Today was really just coming out, with ten yuan given by the police out of humanitarianism in his pocket, preparing to find the cheapest stall in the vegetable market to have a meal.

He hadn't returned to Sunma Village, but had been notified of compulsory execution in the center; Wang Guofeng and the others were afraid that they specifically chose the time he was detained to go, to save trouble.

So Lu Benqing's plan was to have a meal first, and then find a way to find Lu Wei.

Zhai Da looked at Lu Benqing's back, thinking about countermeasures, and actually felt a bit tricky...

Now Lu Wei had decided to participate in the college entrance exam with him, and this beastly father was a big hidden danger.

Turning to look at Wu Yue, Zhai Da suddenly felt that this kid had a bit of wickedness in him, and said:

"If I want him to never find my friend and not come to harass her, what suggestions do you have?"

Wu Yue frowned and thought for a moment: "Very difficult, unless you are not in the same place at all; Dongyang County is only so big... it's a matter of time."

"At least deal with these few months first; it should be fine after the college entrance exam."

"Then there are many ways.... hmm, but it costs some money."

Zhai Da glared at him: "You want to find someone to beat him up? I'm talking about methods that don't break the law."

Wu Yue was very dissatisfied: "What do you take me for? I'm a righteous defender of the way! Incompatible with all evil forces, just reasonably using the rules and responding to the social call."

Wu Yue touched his pocket, which only had a handful of change; don't look at him looking like a person now, even wearing a leather jacket, in fact, his pants pocket was cleaner than his underpants, and his little savings had been spent before, and the bonus hadn't been collected yet.

By the way, the leather jacket was his father's.

Zhai Da decided to believe him once: "How much money is needed."

"At least there must be... 500?"

Zhai Da didn't have it either, but he knew there was an ATM at the main entrance of the vegetable market.

————

Lu Benqing wandered around the vegetable market and finally walked into a small noodle shop.

This kind of shop opened in the vegetable market is generally the cheapest.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Lu Benqing came out picking his teeth, starting to think about where to find Lu Wei.

She should have some money there.

They all say that the luck is prosperous just after being released, so he must ask for some; maybe he will get rich tonight.

How much is the house in Sunma Village worth? The old man can earn it back in one night.

With the typical delusion of a gambler, Lu Benqing walked swaggeringly on the street.

The broken jar was already only slag, so its only function was to pierce every hand willing to touch it.

At this time, a young ghost in front, wearing an ill-fitting jacket and walking with a bit of pigeon-toed, arrogant and stupid, caught Lu Benqing's attention.

He looked twice more.

So damn earthy...

A wallet was stuck in the other party's back pocket, twisting and twisting with the other party's movements.

Lu Benqing peered for a while and withdrew his greedy gaze.

It wasn't that he didn't want to steal, it was that he didn't have that technique.

The young ghost seemed to have his pants fall down, reached out to pull his belt, and covered the edge of his underpants.

And that wallet... actually fell down.

The young ghost didn't seem to notice; Lu Benqing froze for a moment, almost instinctively approaching with tiptoes, stepping on the wallet, and then pretending to tie his shoelaces.

Waiting until the other party had walked far away, he looked around guiltily and hurriedly picked it up.

Opening it, it was full of colorful "little beauty cards," what original price 200, store anniversary big promotion 100...

And... a full five hundred yuan...

Lu Benqing's eyes lit up.

He directly ignored the little cards that a man should theoretically be more interested in, and his first reaction was..

"Damn, the luck is really prosperous just after being released! Hurry up and find a place to try!"

"Tsk tsk..."

————

Behind Lu Benqing, Zhai Da poked out half his head.

"Tsk tsk..."

The phone vibrated slightly; it was Wu Yue, who had already gotten into a taxi and was ready to track at any time.

Wu Yue: "Did he pick it up?"

Zhai Da: "You damn, you really are a genius!"
