Chapter 66: One-Day Tour of Prison

Today, it was still Lu Wei and Zhai Da cooking together. Wu Yue, an idler, simply followed them to the vegetable market.

"You’re responsible for buying vegetables now? It looks so troublesome."

Zhai Da compared the list Lu Wei sent while buying items one by one. Today, the little girl was going to make cucumber with fried pork slices and tomato with scrambled eggs.

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

"Where’s Auntie Yu?"

"She’s been working overtime a lot lately."

The order that made the Maofang factory very busy recently was probably from President Yu. This was an honest boss. Besides high requirements for product quality, the profit left to the factory was even more than foreign trade orders.

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

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

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

However, Teacher Shen Rui gave a suggestion. President Yu’s customer stickiness was high, and their 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, down-to-earth, 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, some people’s memories had been gradually modified to "domestic products are no good."

The advertising 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 pointing made the people in the Maofang factory suddenly enlightened. In the eyes of many factory employees, whether their old factory could perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or even go further and stand up, depended on this order.

So Yu Xiaoli had been very busy lately. However, 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."

The [Tin-Wrapped Weight] was discovered here before.

He said to Wu Yue:

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

Wu Yue didn't listen: "There are private detectives abroad, why can't I? I also bought voice changers, telescopes, locators online..."

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

Wu Yue didn't know why, but he entered the state in a second and actively cooperated to hide.

"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 the person buying vegetables today was Lu Wei, it would be troublesome...

Lu Benqing...

Was he released...

Calculating the time, it had been almost a month since he was reported and taken away, actually far exceeding the normal duration.

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

That Nokia small brick, the number was Wu Yue’s father’s abandoned number, and so far only Zhai Da and Yu Xiaoli were contacts.

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. I reported him for gambling before and sent him in. It looks like he should have just come out."

As a man determined to become a "City Hunter," Wu Yue was already very familiar with these regulations: "That’s been almost a month, right? Will you be detained for so long for being caught gambling?"

Generally speaking, the cap is 15 days. Lu Benqing is a repeat offender, so the cap is correct, but the time still doesn't match...

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

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

He hadn't returned to Sunmazhuang, but had been informed of compulsory execution in the station. Wang Guofeng and the others were probably specifically picking the time he was detained to go, saving trouble.

So Lu Benqing’s plan was to eat a meal first, 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 Gaokao 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 some sneaky badness in him, and said:

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

Wu Yue frowned and thought for a while: "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. After the Gaokao, it shouldn't matter."

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

Zhai Da glared at him: "Do 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 am a righteous defender of the way! Incompatible with all evil forces, just reasonably using the rules and responding to the call of society."

Wu Yue touched his pocket. There was only a handful of change inside. 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. His previous small savings were all spent.

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

Zhai Da decided to believe him once: "How much money do you need."

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

Zhai Da didn't have it on him, 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, and began to think about where to find Lu Wei.

She should have some money there.

They all say that the hand is prosperous when just released, so he must ask for some. Maybe he will get rich tonight.

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

Carrying the typical fantasy of a gambler, Lu Benqing walked swaggeringly on the street.

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

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

He looked at it twice more.

Really damn earthy...

A wallet was stuck on the other party’s butt pocket, twisting and twisting with the other party’s movements.

Lu Benqing looked around for a while and took back his greedy gaze.

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

The young kid seemed to have his pants dropped, reached out to pull his belt, and covered the edge of his underpants.

And that wallet... actually fell down.

The young kid didn't seem to notice. Lu Benqing was stunned, almost instinctively tiptoeing quickly to approach, stepping on the wallet, and then pretending to tie his shoelaces.

After the other party walked far away, he looked around guiltily and quickly picked it up.

Opening it, it was full of colorful "beauty small cards," what original price 200, store celebration 100...

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

Lu Benqing’s eyes lit up.

He directly ignored the small cards that a man should be more interested in theoretically. His first reaction was..

"Damn, the hand is really prosperous when just released! Hurry up and find a place to try!"

"Tsk tsk..."

————

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

"Tsk tsk..."

The mobile phone vibrated slightly. It was Wu Yue who had already boarded 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!"
