Chapter 745: Xue Ru Visits

Nanluoguxiang

Cao Cao Weiguo walked into his home carrying fruits and vegetables, and a plump, beautiful figure ran over with a fragrant breeze.

"Comrade Cao Cao Weiguo, you're finally back. If you didn't come back, I would have gone to the steel rolling mill to find you."

"When did Sister Chen Xueru arrive? Do you have something to find me for?"

The figure was none other than Chen Chen Xueru, with her capable short hair, her expression full of anxiety.

Chen Chen Xueru said coquettishly: "Asking when you know the answer. Would I wait for you all afternoon for nothing?"

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "Sister Chen Xueru, let's go inside and talk."

The two entered the house one after the other, and Cao Cao Weiguo handed the things in his hands to Song Cousin Yujuan.

Song Song Yulan poured tea and said: "Sister Chen Xueru has run into trouble. A stinking rascal bought Sister Chen Xueru's silk but won't pay."

Chen Chen Xueru said angrily: "That bastard Li Shangyou is bullying people too much. He sees that my business isn't doing well, so he's come to loot the burning house. And that good-for-nothing Fan Jinyou, he talks big all day, saying how many friends he knows, but when something really happens, those fox friends and dog pals all hide far away; not one is useful. Cao Weiguo, now that I have no one to rely on and am at a dead end, you must help me."

Cao Cao Weiguo frowned: "Li Shangyou, why does this name sound a bit familiar?"

Chen Chen Xueru gritted her teeth: "This Li Shangyou is a famous rascal in Jingcheng. He gathers a bunch of idle thugs under him, cheating, stealing, and doing whatever is wicked. I was cheated by him this time. I imported a batch of silk from Jiangnan, which was originally meant for Irina, but who would have thought there would be a change in the middle, and it got stuck in my hands. Fan Jinyou met Li Shangyou at a drinking table and thought this person had connections, so he told Li Shangyou about the silk. Li Shangyou patted his chest and said he could help sell it, only asking for a ten percent commission. I thought I couldn't keep the silk tied up forever, so I gave it to Li Shangyou. I didn't expect this Li Shangyou to be a stinking rascal. After selling the silk, he didn't even mention the payment. When we went to ask for the money, he turned his face and denied the debt."

Cao Cao Weiguo tapped his fingers on the table: "Do you know how much Li Shangyou sold the silk for?"

Chen Chen Xueru: "I spent money to find out from one of Li Shangyou's followers; he sold it for over thirteen hundred Brother Yuan."

Song Song Yulan exclaimed: "Over a thousand Brother Yuan!"

Cao Cao Weiguo thought for a moment and said: "Tomorrow I will take some people to your shop, and you take us to find Li Shangyou to talk."

Chen Chen Xueru said excitedly: "Thank you, Cao Weiguo. With your words, the stone in my heart has finally landed. After it's done, I will definitely have a heavy reward for you."

Chen Chen Xueru left with a smile, and after eating, Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bike to Liu Shan's residence.

Although it is only natural to pay back debts, dealing with a street thug like Li Shangyou, just talking with your mouth is definitely useless. If you want such a rascal to spit out the meat he has eaten, you have to rely on your fists.

Cao Cao Weiguo finished telling Liu Shan about the matter, and Liu Shan patted his chest and agreed, guaranteeing that he would make Li Shangyou spit out the money obediently. If he couldn't make Li Shangyou submissive, he, Liu Shan, would have lived in vain.

Li Shangyou is considered a figure in Jingcheng, and he has many followers, but in Liu Shan's eyes, he is just a small-time punk, leading a bunch of low-lifes to beg for food on the streets. Not long ago, he was beaten by a group of young people until he fled in panic, and one of his hands was broken, making him a laughingstock on the street.

Such a small-time punk, Liu Shan didn't take him seriously at all.

If it weren't for Cao Cao Weiguo's personal instructions, he wouldn't even bother with such small fry.

Red Star Sihe Academy

Seeing Shazhu walked into the Jia house with a plate of meat buns. Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, and Little Huaihua were overjoyed, swarming up to grab the meat buns and devouring them greedily.

Qin Qin Huairu: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Seeing Shazhu: "Sister Qin, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Qin Qin Huairu walked out of the house with Seeing Shazhu. Bang Geng grabbed a newspaper in one hand and walked stealthily to the door, pricking up his ears and hiding behind the door to eavesdrop.

Seeing Shazhu asked impatiently: "Qin Huairu, what have you considered? When will we get that thing done?"

Qin Qin Huairu shook her head: "No, Sha Zhuzi, I've thought about it for several nights. I can't do this, and I advise you not to think about it anymore."

Seeing Shazhu said anxiously: "Why? Are you afraid that the matter will be exposed and Cao Cao Weiguo will retaliate? Don't worry, I will protect you. Cao Cao Weiguo cannot hurt you at all."

Qin Qin Huairu: "Sha Zhuzi! You think of things too simply! There is always someone in Cao Cao Weiguo's house; I have no chance to put things in his house. Moreover, you know what kind of person Cao Cao Weiguo is; he is treacherous, sinister, full of bad water, and has good relations with the factory leaders. Even if we put things in his house, he probably won't be threatened by you, but will retaliate against us even more severely. Sha Zhuzi, I'm not timid or afraid of trouble; I'm thinking for you. I don't want you to take risks. If this matter fails, your life might be over. Sha Zhuzi, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you; I don't want anything to happen to you."

Qin Qin Huairu still had a conscience and didn't betray Seeing Shazhu again, even persuading him to give up the plan.

In her heart, she remembered Seeing Shazhu's kindness and didn't want to see him destroyed.

She hadn't forgotten the relief and help Seeing Shazhu had given her over the years.

Although she didn't look up to Seeing Shazhu and didn't want to marry him, she didn't want Seeing Shazhu's family to be ruined.

She knew Cao Cao Weiguo's character, which is why she didn't want Seeing Shazhu to take risks.

Seeing Shazhu was deeply moved: "Qin Huairu, I know you are concerned about me and afraid that something will happen to me. I'm really happy, but what about First Uncle? I can't just watch First Uncle suffer and stand by, doing nothing, right?"

Qin Qin Huairu: "Seeing Shazhu, we must help First Uncle, but there are many ways. We don't need to risk the rest of our lives. I have children to raise, and you are still young. We cannot take risks. Sha Zhuzi, listen to me, give it up. And I have already burned that Child-Bestowing Guanyin. You can hit me or scold me, but I just don't want you to gamble. If something happens to you, I'm afraid I'll cry to death in the room."

Seeing Shazhu's eyes turned red with emotion: "Qin Huairu! You! I! I really don't know what to say! Since my mother passed away, only you have cared about me so much. Qin Huairu, how could I bear to hit you or scold you? I can't cherish you enough. I know you do all this for my own good. I will remember your kindness for a lifetime. When Jia Jia Zhangshi returns, even if I have to kneel and beg her, I will make her agree to our marriage. I will take care of you for a lifetime, and I will definitely make you happy!"

Qin Qin Huairu said: "Sha Zhuzi, as long as you understand. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really don't want to see anything happen to you. Since you understand my feelings, I'm relieved. Sha Zhuzi, let's think of other ways. If it really doesn't work, I'll go beg Cao Cao Weiguo. Although First Uncle doesn't get along with Cao Cao Weiguo, he is, after all, a neighbor who has lived in the same courtyard for many years. As long as we show enough sincerity, I think he can still lend a helping hand."

Seeing Shazhu snorted coldly: "Him? That black-hearted bad seed? Beg him? I might as well take a kitchen knife and rob the prison! If he can help save First Uncle, I, He He Yuzhu, will drink urine standing on my head in the future. If he has that kind heart, I won't eat steamed buns anymore; I'll eat dung. Qin Huairu, don't even think about Cao Cao Weiguo; it's hopeless."

Qin Qin Huairu: "Then what can you do? The only factory leader I can think of is Cao Cao Weiguo. Besides him, who else can help save First Uncle?"

"Me!"

Just then, Xu Xu Damao walked over with his hands in his pockets, grinning.

Seeing Shazhu's face looked ugly: "Get lost! I'm annoyed right now, don't come looking for a beating!"

Xu Xu Damao said meanly: "Seeing Shazhu, you're a bastard. You still want to beat me? I'm now considered a small leader in the factory, at least. Aren't you anxious to save Yi Yi Zhonghai? I can help you, but if you want me to help, you have to show the attitude of someone asking for help."

Seeing Shazhu glared with bull eyes: "Bah! You're sticking a green onion in your nose, pretending to be an elephant. What kind of leader are you? You? What kind of onion are you! Go cool off somewhere else, stop being an eyesore in front of me."

Xu Xu Damao shouted angrily: "Hey! Seeing Shazhu, you're looking down on people, aren't you! Do you know where Yi Yi Zhonghai is being held now? You don't know, but I do. Just for that, I'm better than you!"

Seeing Shazhu snorted coldly: "Where is First Uncle held? You know? Who are you fooling! I don't believe it!"

Xu Xu Damao said angrily: "Yi Yi Zhonghai is now being held at the Gulou Police Station. If you don't believe it, let's make a bet."

Seeing Shazhu: "Really? If it's true that First Uncle is held at the Gulou Police Station, I'll admit you have some skills. However, you say you can help save him? I don't believe it; I think you're bragging."

Xu Xu Damao: "Seeing Shazhu! Who are you looking down on! Do you think I'm a good-for-nothing like you! I'm not what I used to be! You think I'm bragging, right? Fine, I don't want to get involved in your messy business anyway."

Qin Qin Huairu grabbed Xu Xu Damao, who was about to leave: "Xu Damao, why are you getting angry after just a few words? You know Seeing Shazhu's stinking temper. First Uncle is our elder after all, and you grew up watching him. Now that something has happened to First Uncle, and you are the most promising person in our courtyard, you can't just stand by and watch him die."

Xu Xu Damao sneered: "Don't! Yi Yi Zhonghai is your elder, not mine. He didn't help Seeing Shazhu bully me any less in the past."

Qin Qin Huairu: "Xu Damao, I know you're not a small-minded person. I know you have resentment in your heart. When First Uncle comes back, I'll make him apologize to you. Xu Damao, help First Uncle. He won't treat you badly in the future. Or if you have any conditions, you can state them now, and we'll tell First Aunt for you."

Xu Xu Damao looked at Seeing Shazhu provocatively: "To be honest, I really don't want to deal with Yi Yi Zhonghai's mess, but who made me have neighbors like you? And I have to let Seeing Shazhu see that I, Xu Xu Damao, am better than him. Yi Yi Zhonghai's case is still under investigation. Besides that physical evidence, no other evidence has been found. If you can come up with a sum of money, I can help find people to pull strings and try to ask the factory leaders to guarantee Yi Yi Zhonghai, striving to turn big problems into small ones and get Yi Yi Zhonghai released first."

Seeing Shazhu crossed his arms and sneered: "In the end, you're just doing it for money. Just say it, how much?"

Xu Xu Damao: "This matter is not small, and I don't have a fixed amount. If you want me to help, pay one thousand Brother Yuan first, and I'll test the waters for you."

Seeing Shazhu: "One thousand Brother Yuan! Xu Xu Damao, aren't you afraid of flashing your tongue! Look at your cheap bones, are they worth one thousand Brother Yuan!"

Xu Xu Damao: "Fine! Seeing Shazhu! Just for your attitude, even if you give me ten thousand Brother Yuan, I won't care about this matter."

Qin Qin Huairu pulled Xu Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, don't mind Seeing Shazhu, he's just a bastard. I'll go tell First Aunt about this, wait for my news."

Xu Xu Damao smiled: "Qin Qin Huairu, you are still the smart one, knowing the big picture, unlike Seeing Shazhu who is just a stubborn fool. I'm going back."

Glaring at Xu Xu Damao's back, Seeing Shazhu said sullenly: "Qin Huairu, do you believe Xu Xu Damao?"
