Chapter 466

Although they were released quickly, they didn't want to get arrested either.

Now that their boss had spoken, they could work with peace of mind.

Three days later.

Sha Zhu was released.

The idiot, as soon as he returned to the courtyard, swung his fists and went to beat up Xu Damao.

Xu Damao hadn't gone out to collect scrap these past few days; he had let Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua go out to collect scrap while he just lay at home.

Having been beaten by Liang Ladi and the others that day, his whole body was in unbearable pain.

Sha Zhu rushed into the house all of a sudden, and Xu Damao was beaten up before he could even recover his senses.

"Xu Damao, you turtle's spawn, you actually dared to report me."

"You didn't expect me to come back so soon, did you?"

"The authorities aren't that strict about cracking down on speculation and profiteering; I made a fortune, I'll make you green with envy!"

"You turtle's grandson, you'd better not engage in speculation and profiteering, or I'll definitely report you."

Having stayed inside for three days, Sha Zhu thought about revenge every day.

Now that he was finally back, the first thing he did was to beat Xu Damao violently.

Xu Damao wasn't weak either: "Sha Zhu, how dare you hit me!"

"I'm telling you, if you mess with bicycles again in the future, I'll report you too."

"Every time you do it, I'll report you; three days inside each time, thirty days a month, I'll make you sit until the prison floor wears through!"

Xu Damao had just started to feel a little better, and now he had been beaten again, making him feel as if his whole skeleton was about to fall apart.

Sha Zhu didn't pay any more attention to Xu Damao and went home angrily.

Since Xu Damao had said that, Sha Zhu believed he was definitely capable of doing it.

It seemed that messing with bicycles was no longer an option.

Seeing that Sha Zhu had returned, Liang Ladi cooked him a meal of white rice and stir-fried eggs.

Sha Zhu wolfed it down; during those three days inside, he had doubted whether he would be able to come out alive.

Liang Ladi said, "What should we do from now on?"

"Are we still going to resell bicycles?"

Sha Zhu shook his head: "Wait a while first."

"I heard people inside say that in two years at most, we can do whatever we want."

Two years!

When Sha Zhu heard this news, he was completely stunned.

He never expected that things would change so quickly.

But now that he was out, he felt that two years was really too long.

And in these two years, that dog Lu Jianye would definitely make a lot of money.

Sha Zhu really wanted to report Lu Jianye!

But once he thought about the consequences, he couldn't quite afford to bear them.

Then what else could he do?

Liang Ladi said, "That's fine too; let's not do it anymore, so we don't get arrested again."

"But you have to keep an eye on that dog Xu Damao."

"As long as he engages in speculation and profiteering, you go report him and let him go to labor reform inside too."

Sha Zhu nodded.

That was exactly what he was thinking.

Liang Ladi said again, "By the way, I see that Liu Hai Zhong's family has also built a temporary house."

"And that house is built quite large; more than half of the back courtyard is about to become his home."

"Our eldest and second child aren't small anymore, and it's not very spacious living at home."

"But it seems a bit late for us to build a larger temporary house."

"Look around this courtyard, is there any other place where we can build a bigger house?"

Liang Ladi had already started thinking for her three children.

Her two sons were looking like they would soon be getting married.

The whole family was squeezed into these two rooms, which was really inconvenient.

Sha Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Leave this matter to me; tomorrow I'll go to the neighborhood office and ask about that house of the Deaf Old Lady in the back."

Liang Ladi was waiting for exactly these words from him.

When she first married over, she had heard about the matter between Sha Zhu and the Deaf Old Lady.

She felt that Sha Zhu should have taken over that house.

But later she discovered that the house had already been reclaimed by the neighborhood office.

Until last year.

Liang Ladi heard from people in several nearby courtyards that houses could now be bought and sold secretly, and the neighborhood office was clearly turning a blind eye.

At that time, she really wanted to buy the house in the back courtyard.

But the price was really too expensive; buying that small house at the time required one hundred and fifty yuan.

Liang Ladi couldn't bear to part with the money, so she didn't buy it.

Now...

She didn't know if the house price had gone up.

Sha Zhu had no heart to think about this right now; his mind was full of Lu Jianye.

After all.

He had been reported for reselling bicycles.

So why was Lu Jianye still perfectly fine?

Back courtyard.

Lu Jianye's home.

Bai Lu Si said, "Husband, Sha Zhu came back today; as soon as he returned to the courtyard, he beat Xu Damao up."

"It's as if they both agreed to supervise each other."

"From now on, whoever dares to resell bicycles, the other one will report him."

"Sha Zhu must be jealous in his heart; you have to be careful in the future."

Lu Jianye said, "Don't worry about this; first of all, the authorities aren't strict right now, otherwise, really no one would dare to do it."

"Another point is that our people are all very smart, so I guarantee there will be no problems."

Bai Lu Si finally felt relieved.

While the two were eating, they saw Sha Zhu come to the back courtyard.

This time he didn't go to Xu Damao's house, but instead went to that dilapidated house.

Bai Lu Si didn't understand: "Husband, look, what is Sha Zhu trying to do?"

Lu Jianye looked over and said with a smile, "Sha Zhu has his eyes on that house."

"Liang Ladi's two sons aren't young anymore, and it's time for them to get married."

"They are thinking about this house."

Previously, Liang Ladi had asked the neighborhood office how much the Deaf Old Lady's house cost, as she wanted to buy it.

But at that time, Sha Zhu didn't have much money.

Plus, Liang Ladi didn't know that house prices would rise, so she felt that when she had money in the future, she could buy it again.

But...

Bai Lu Si said, "Husband, the Deaf Old Lady's house is so big and good, we can't let Sha Zhu get his hands on it."

"Our family still has two sons, and maybe there will be more sons in the future; we also need a house."

Maybe there will be more sons in the future?

Lu Jianye didn't expect that his petite wife would actually have such thoughts now.

They still had big careers to pursue in the future, and it seemed they really didn't have time to take care of children.

Although in this era, whoever has more sons stands taller...
