Chapter 419: Everyone

"You!"

Old Qin wanted to push open the window to reason with this woman, but saw that she had opened the door and come out.

"Wait, I'll call your relatives for you!"

The Second Aunt's upper eyelids drooped, she glanced sideways at Old Qin and his three sons, and said this, then walked lazily toward the courtyard very unwillingly.

"Dad, these city people are real bastards."

"Dad, I'll go beat her up~"

Old Qin's two younger sons were brave; seeing the old woman dare to speak to their father like that, one wanted to scold, and one wanted to hit.

"Get lost~"

Old Qin glared at his two sons and said, "Do you think this is our village? You're looking to get beaten up!"

After scaring his sons, Old Qin lifted his eyelids and glanced at the few women in the gatehouse who were whispering while looking over here.

They're all damn idle. If it weren't for us country folk supporting you, would you have the leisure to point fingers and talk on the kang?

The Second Aunt twisted her waist, glanced at the lively Yan family, and went to the back.

At this moment, the Yan family was finding people to install windows and move furniture.

The solid wood furniture Yan Jiecheng had scavenged from somewhere before leaving was already prepared, just waiting for the house to be burned so he could move it in.

Now Yan Jiecheng wasn't home, and Yan Jiefang was very diligent in calling Liu Guangfu to help move it in.

Liu Guangfu wasn't helping for nothing; he had to eat at the Yan family's place at noon today, cooked by the new sister-in-law Yan Jiefang had brought.

The Second Aunt also knew that the third son had skipped class, but at this time, no matter how their family's broken pot was smashed, it sounded the same, so she didn't care.

Entering the middle courtyard, the Second Aunt pushed open the door of the Jia family with a sneer on her face.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi was eating with Qin Jingru at the dining table.

There wasn't any good food; it would be better if Qin Huairu were home, but if it were just Qin Jingru left, Jia Zhangshi would just muddle through however she could.

At this moment, there was only a plate of pickles on the table, and both of them had a bowl of unknown soup, each gnawing on a cornmeal bun.

"Oh, Second Aunt is here."

Jia Zhangshi saw the Second Aunt enter the room and stood up to greet her.

She hadn't even put down the cornmeal bun in her hand when she saw the Second Aunt smile with an unknown meaning: "Old Mother Jia, your family has relatives visiting~"

What Jia Zhangshi hated most was hearing that they had relatives visiting; hadn't she seen that there was already a "free-loader" relative sitting here?

"Who? How come I haven't heard anyone was coming?"

Seeing Jia Zhangshi puzzled, the Second Aunt glanced at Qin Jingru, who was drinking soup, and said, "It's Jingru's father and..."

"Pfft! ~~~"

Before the Second Aunt could finish speaking, Qin Jingru, who was drinking soup, held the bowl and sprayed the soup all over the table.

"What!"

Qin Jingru didn't even have time to wipe her mouth; she stared at the Second Aunt with wide eyes and asked, "My dad is here?"

"Isn't he!"

The Second Aunt smiled when she saw Qin Jingru's reaction; she knew it clearly, knowing Qin Jingru would be shocked.

"Not just your dad, but your two brothers too."

Jia Zhangshi looked at the cornmeal bun on her hand that was sprayed with soup seasoning, then looked at the Second Aunt, who was full of sarcasm.

"Jingru!"

Qin Jingru didn't care if the soup she had just sprayed had sprayed onto this picky mother-in-law of her sister.

At this moment, she stood up in panic, muttering constantly: "They're here to drag me back, I'm not going back, I'm not going back~"

Muttering, Qin Jingru threw down the cornmeal bun in her hand in a panic, grabbed her small bundle from the bed, and ran out.

This Qin Laoliu was quick on her feet; whenever something happened, she wanted to run.

The Second Aunt watched Qin Jingru run out, chased after her back, and shouted, "They're right at the gate."

This is really watching the fun without fearing the fire!

Seeing Qin Jingru run away, the Second Aunt turned back and smiled at Jia Zhangshi: "Go, aren't you going to welcome your in-laws?"

"Me?"

Jia Zhangshi looked at the mess on the table, put the cornmeal bun in her hand into the bowl, and said angrily, "Our family doesn't have this kind of relative."

As she spoke, she picked up the plates and bowls on the table, ready to take them to the kitchen to wash them clean.

The Second Aunt saw that Jia Zhangshi could really pull down her face, so she couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not going?"

As she spoke, she chased after her and said, "These are Qin Huairu's relatives; don't let your daughter-in-law come back and argue with you later."

Look at this, is she persuading Jia Zhangshi?

Isn't this just fanning the flames because she thinks Jia Zhangshi's anger isn't big enough~!

"If they're Qin Huairu's relatives, tell them to find Qin Huairu. Anyway, I don't have a place for them here."

Jia Zhangshi washed the cornmeal bun clean and put it in the bowl, then took a rag and wiped the table clean.

"Just say our family isn't home and tell them to go back~"

Ultimately, she had to consider Qin Huairu. Seeing the Second Aunt walking out, Jia Zhangshi chased after her to give this instruction.

"Alright, just do as you say."

The Second Aunt wished Jia Zhangshi would drive the relatives away; at this time, who didn't have a few poor relatives? It would be lively if they fought.

When she returned to the gate, seeing the three disheveled people still standing in the gatehouse, she said impatiently, "Coincidentally, no one is home at the Jia family. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

"What! Not home!"

"No one!"

Before Old Qin could speak, the two younger ones were unwilling.

It was already noon, and their stomachs were hungry. This wasn't going to kill them!

Old Qin also frowned at this moment. He knew that the old lady of the Jia family was not a good thing; she must have disliked them for being poor and didn't want to entertain them.

"That, sister, is my daughter not home either?"

"Not home!"

The Second Aunt looked back at her, not knowing how Qin Jingru had just gotten out.

How did she get out? She had jumped over the wall of the Li family under the surprised eyes of Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangfu, jumped into the small courtyard of the inverted house, and escaped from the west courtyard.

When Qin Jingru ran out, she heard the Second Aunt's reminder; how could she go to the gate to throw herself into the net? She took a running start, didn't even walk through the second gate, and jumped directly over the Li family's wall.

She entered the west courtyard and followed the back door of the recycling store to the alley.

It was also because the courtyard gate wasn't directly facing the alley entrance, and the three of them were just looking inside the gate, not noticing their Old Six slipping away from the other side.

Old Qin frowned. Going back was impossible; without getting the bride price money or catching his daughter, he couldn't go back in this lifetime.

If he went back empty-handed with two sons, how could he face the fellow villagers in the village?

The key was that Old Qin had already bragged about getting two hundred and ten yuan in bride price money.

Now, there was no sign of the bride price, no news of his daughter, and he would be shamed to death by the people in the village.

"No, we must find Old Six today!"

Qin Laoda watched his happiness about to fly away; how could he endure it?

The Second Aunt glared at this silly boy and said, "What, if there's no one, do I have to conjure someone for you?"

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and signaled outside, saying, "Go find her wherever you want. Try acting wild here and see; don't look at your own character."

The Second Aunt finally gained the upper hand and took the opportunity of being on duty at the gatehouse to insult Qin Huairu's relatives.

She also couldn't stand that seductive air of Qin Huairu; who didn't know who?

Small leather shoes, small leather bag—just because she became a section chief, she's amazing?

Old Qin frowned. Although this woman's attitude was bad, he still endured it and asked, "Then what about my son-in-law He Yuzhu?"

The Second Aunt curled her lip and said, "Just like Qin Huairu, they're working at the Steel Rolling Mill. Go find them."

As she spoke, she was about to walk into the gatehouse.

Old Qin saw this woman was about to leave and hurriedly asked, "Where is the Steel Rolling Mill?"

"Don't know!"

"Clang~"

The Second Aunt had had enough fun showing off her power, gave a casual "don't know," and closed the door directly.

"Dad, what do we do?"

Qin Laoda looked at his father anxiously; the bride he had in his hands was about to fly away.

Qin Laoda knew how to speak: "Dad, let's go, let's go to the Steel Rolling Mill to find them!"

But he didn't expect Qin Laoda to lead them to the shadow wall at the entrance and squat down.

"Dad?"

Their father's move left the two brothers stunned.

Qin Laoda squatted on the ground, his butt sitting on his heels, took two puffs from his tobacco pouch, and said, "We'll just wait here. I don't believe they won't live their lives!"

"But..."

"Dad, I'm hungry~"

"Endure it!"

Country folk have this kind of resilience; your time is valuable, but my time isn't. If you don't come out, I'll just wear you down here!

"Hehe, where did these vagrants come from?"

Just as the three squatted down, two young men carrying a basket of ash and soil walked out of the gate and muttered this.

This term is highly discriminatory and derogatory, but it was popular at the time, and it had been popular for a long time.

In 1953, due to certain reasons, the rural population flooded into the cities, forcing the relevant departments to issue documents to stop this situation.

This term was taken from the file name and is also an abbreviation for this type of person.

In fact, this was produced by the dual household registration system of urban and rural areas, which inherently gave these two bad boys a sense of superiority over the three.

Of course, this sense of superiority has always existed in the hearts of city people; some people just don't say it out loud.

Some people don't need this sense of superiority, and their spiritual world can live very well.

But some people, because of certain things, have an inferiority complex and will rely on this sense of superiority to find confidence.

Liu Guangfu looked at Yan Jiefang, who was deliberately muttering loudly, and smiled in a low voice, "They say it's Seeing Sha Zhu's father-in-law, hehe~"

"Pfft!"

Yan Jiefang looked at the three people under the shadow wall with a mocking gaze and, together with Liu Guangfu, dumped the stove ash and soil cleaned out from the sister-in-law's room into the ash pit behind the shadow wall.

"Ahem~"

That was carbon ash; as soon as it was dumped, they two dodged, but the three squatting by the shadow wall were all within the range of the dust.

Qin Laoda, who had been enduring it, jumped up and rushed toward Yan Jiefang.

"Ahem~ Laoda!"

Old Qin saw his son was about to make a move and reached out to stop him while coughing, but he was too late.

"Bang~"

A young man in his twenties, working in the fields at home every day—what kind of effect would a punch have on a city kid like Yan Jiefang?

"Ugh~"

Just like the kick Dou Master gave that day, Yan Jiefang lay down again.

"Laoda, are you looking for trouble!"

Seeing his eldest son was about to kick again, Old Qin hurriedly pulled his son back and glanced at the young man lying on the ground.

"You child, why did you dump ash on us!"

Old Qin knew how to speak; he first put a hat of bullying people on Yan Jiefang, making Yan Jiefang, who couldn't speak, grit his teeth.

Liu Guangfu was cunning; seeing that country man explode, he was like a monkey with diarrhea—he bolted.

If you want to say who in the courtyard has kung fu, Seeing Sha Zhu doesn't count; those are fake moves, just relying on great strength.

In the back courtyard, the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are the real experts!

These two brothers practiced quite exclusively; they didn't practice fists or waists, only the "grass-floating" leg technique.

Qin Laoda had been glaring at Yan Jiefang, who was muttering about them being vagrants, and of course, the first target after choking on coal ash was Yan Jiefang.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't think about beating both of them, but he didn't have the chance.

Just as he got up, he saw a black shadow float past his eyes, and then there was only this silly person left in his field of vision.

Yan Jiefang glared and dodged the three, hating them secretly in his heart. It took him a long while to crawl up, pick up the basket on the ground, and walk toward the courtyard.

But as he walked, he started retching.

That punch hit his stomach; he had retched for a while when he was curled up on the ground just now, and now he was still feeling uncomfortable.

He also knew he was in the wrong; seeing the three people covered in coal ash, no one would believe him even if he wanted to complain, so he could only move into the gatehouse.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gatehouse, he saw Liu Guangfu poking his head out at the door, looking over here.

"Did they hit you?"

"What do you think!"

Yan Jiefang gritted his teeth and said to Liu Guangfu, "You're really a grandson; you left me alone and ran away!"

"Shh!"

Liu Guangfu made a "keep it down" gesture and pointed to the gatehouse, saying, "Don't let people hear you; it's even more embarrassing."

Yan Jiefang was so angry; he couldn't even talk about being beaten.

But at this moment, just as Liu Guangfu said, if he really told his family about being beaten, he might get another lecture from his old man, and people in the courtyard would look down on him too.

At this moment, he was helped into the outer courtyard by Liu Guangfu. After a long while, he rubbed his stomach and said, "I have to take revenge!"

"What?"

Liu Guangfu looked at this big brother and couldn't help but admire him: "You want to take on three? I'll go support you."

"Get lost!"

Yan Jiefang pointed at Liu Guangfu and said, "You're the most disloyal; you support me, but you're the first to run!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Liu Guangfu's clothes and said, "We can use our brains to take revenge on them."

Liu Guangfu raised his eyes and asked, "How to take revenge?"

"Come here!"

Yan Jiefang pulled Liu Guangfu's head and whispered in his ear for a while.

"Why don't you go?!"

Liu Guangfu shook his head and rejected Yan Jiefang's proposal.

"I've had enough of being beaten!"

Yan Jiefang also gritted his teeth to say this cowardly line, then tempted Liu Guangfu: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking when you come to help at my house."

Hearing this, Liu Guangfu blinked and smirked, "Wait for my good news!"

After saying this, he went out again.

"There aren't many people here!"

Zhao Yajun parked the car according to Hadir's instructions and jumped out of the car to scan the market.

When they were driving here just now, they even encountered a checkpoint on the road.

It wasn't the kind with sharp fences in movies; it was just someone hiding behind a horse and asking a few questions.

This person was a sentry, still some distance from the market, checking anyone who saw them.

If it were a local, they would definitely be recognized; if not, there would be danger.

So it was Hadir who got out of the car to greet them, which allowed this truck to drive in.

This market was well-located, right in a depression, with several cliff walls blocking the wind.

So the wind here wasn't strong, and a row of large trucks or trailers was parked along the cliff wall.

When Zhao Yajun dismantled the tarpaulin in the back, Ji Wang Weidong was the first to jump down, staring with red eyes as he searched and asked, "Where is the Azzai caravan?"

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone laughed when they heard his words, but Ji Wang Weidong wasn't embarrassed.

"Laugh at your ass, I'm anxious to go investigate."

"Hahahahaha~"

When he said that, everyone laughed even more happily.

Hadir had learned to drive from Zhao Yajun all the way here, and at this moment, he was thinking about the previous question.

"It's winter now, so we don't dare set up stalls outside. Besides, isn't it convenient to move?"

As he spoke, he pointed to each caravan and introduced them to everyone: "Whatever pattern is hanging at the door is what the merchant is operating. Just go in and trade."

After Hadir finished the introduction, he looked at the few people and asked, "Should I take you to look around, or go directly to Azzai?"

"Azzai~ Azzai~"

Before anyone could say anything, Ji Wang Weidong shouted it out first.

"Hahaha."

Hadir knew it would be like this, pointed to a few connected caravans not far from the car, and said, "That's it."

It turned out he was also aiming for this place, which is why the position Zhao Yajun parked in was also here.

Li Xuewu saw the tempted looks of Ji Wang Weidong and Li Huai De and exhorted Hadir and the others: "You must not leave them, especially the safety of our leader."

"Don't worry!"

Hadir patted Li Xuewu's shoulder and said, "The last thing you need to worry about here is safety."

As he spoke, he pointed to the cliff wall and said, "There's a cave over there with the kind of light machine gun you have on your car."

"Grass!"

Li Xuewu was startled when he heard this, squinted his eyes to look through the snow, and there really was a hidden cave entrance.

"It's fine, it's absolutely safe here."

Hadir said this and had already followed the others toward the caravan.

Li Xuewu told Zhao Yajun to keep an eye on the car, and he took Pazil and followed.

He had to go see how the safety environment inside was, so nothing would go wrong.

This caravan was truly cleverly designed; two large trailers were placed side by side, setting up a large tent.

Hadir took the lead in entering, chatted with a woman wearing a veil, and then invited everyone in to watch the performance.

When Li Xuewu followed them in, he realized it was truly warm inside, warmer than on the train.

He dodged a hanging tapestry and discovered a whole new world inside.

Good heavens, in the middle was a circular carpet, and there was really a program being performed on it.

Several girls wearing clothes completely inconsistent with the season were singing and dancing.

Some good men were sitting around the circular carpet, clapping their hands and swaying their bodies.

There was nothing special about it; it was far worse than the kind of singing and dancing performance he had been lucky enough to see in a certain township that was meant to drive away children.

The space in the tent wasn't small; some people even had small tables in front of them, with meat and wine on them.

Of course, there were also girls wearing the same clothes as those dancing in the middle beside them.

In a corner, there was also a table of people playing cards while hugging girls.

It was truly exotic, with sexy dealers dealing cards online.

Hadir was led by the woman and took the few to an empty spot.

From the moment Li Huai De and Ji Wang Weidong entered, their eyes weren't enough.

Their eyes swayed with the swaying of the veils of the girls dancing in the middle of the field, swayed with the hands swinging under the girls' chins, and swayed with the swaying waists of the girls.

Anyway, their eyes weren't enough, so they were pushed by Jamal to sit beside a small table.

Li Xuewu really wanted to slap himself; why did he tease them for no reason, making them look like two rabbit-spirits.

But at this moment, it was clear they had forgotten what they came here for, or rather, they clearly remembered what they came here for.

Ji Wang Weidong nudged Hadir and signaled with his eyes toward a girl with big waves.

Hadir's three were also young people, and they were anxious at this moment too.

Seeing Ji Wang Weidong pick someone, he turned his gaze to Li Huai De.

Li Huai De had also left his airs on the car after entering this tent and hadn't brought them over. At this moment, he signaled a fair-skinned one to Hadir.

Hadir let the two little brothers choose, then turned his head to look at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu knew that he couldn't not choose at this time; this tent wasn't entered for free.

His eyes turned a circle, and he chose one with an average appearance.

When Hadir looked at Pazil beside him, Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "The two of us together."

"Hiss~"

Hadir widened his eyes as if he had heard some new knowledge, and a new world door opened in his mind.

Li Xuewu smiled and took out a stack of money and threw it to him.

"Everyone's consumption today is paid for by Young Master Zhao."

"Hiss~"

Hadir was surprised again and asked, "Zhao is?"

Li Xuewu gestured outside with a smile and said, "The one who taught you to drive."

"Wow!"

Hadir widened his eyes again; he really didn't know that the driver was so generous and so rich.

Li Xuewu patted him and signaled him to hurry up and arrange it.

Because at this moment, Li Huai De and Ji Wang Weidong were about to explode.

Seeing someone paying, Hadir was of course happy; he stood up and went to pay the veiled woman who had greeted them earlier.

That woman was clearly used to seeing this kind of impatient temper; the ones lingering in the tent were instead the older ones who couldn't do it.

So she didn't care about the situation where a few people wanted to do it as soon as they sat down, and smiled to arrange for the girls to come out and replace the ones who were leaving.

This is truly an organized "criminal activity"!

The girls who came out to continue playing music and dancing took the stage, and the girls who were chosen left the stage.

Hadir took the initiative to act as a waiter, finding service targets for the girls.

Then, led by the veiled woman, they wrapped themselves in cotton robes and went into a passage inside.

Li Xuewu observed the environment; this should be walking toward other caravans.

Sure enough, they were led to an independent tent, where this side was divided into several rooms by sheepskin.

Li Xuewu took a look; this tent also had an exit leading directly outside.

He pulled back the door curtain, and Li Xuewu saw Zhao Yajun, who was paying today, sitting in the driver's seat looking over here.

When Li Xuewu turned back, the space in the middle of the tent was already empty.

Only Pazil and the girl he chose were left, as well as Ji Wang Weidong and his girl.

Ji Wang Weidong was standing there with a flushed face and at a loss, staring at the smiling girl in a daze.

"Where are the others?"

Li Xuewu regretted asking this question; it was redundant.

Ji Wang Weidong didn't even turn his head and answered Li Xuewu's question.

"Brother Li went to explore the ethnic customs, and those three guys went too."

Li Xuewu looked at the girl who was looking at him and asked Ji Wang Weidong, "What about you? What are you planning to do?"

Ji Wang Weidong stared at the blue-eyed girl with red eyes and muttered, "I don't know what I want to do, I..."

Li Xuewu listened to Ji Wang Weidong "I..." for a long time, but he couldn't say it with a red face.

"You wouldn't still be..."

"If you say it, I'll break off relations with you!"

"Hiss~"

Li Xuewu twitched his lips and smiled, "That serious?"

Then he glanced at the girl who was looking at him and said to Ji Wang Weidong, "There's still business to attend to; let's split up!"

After finishing with Ji Wang Weidong, Li Xuewu took Pazil and led the girl into a compartment.

He didn't know what this compartment was made of, but the soundproofing was surprisingly good. After coming in and putting down the thick felt door curtain, he couldn't hear any sound.

But that was just roughly; if he listened carefully, there was still some.

Li Xuewu let Pazil translate and explained to the girl what he wanted to do. After that, the girl widened her eyes and looked at Li Xuewu as if looking at an alien.

"Add money!"

Li Xuewu took a few sheets from his pocket and put them in the girl's hand.

"Deal!"

"Grass! You understand Chinese!"

This time it was Li Xuewu's turn to widen his eyes; wasn't this being played for a fool?

As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the compartment. At this moment, the figures of Ji Wang Weidong and the big-wave girl were gone outside.

Li Xuewu came out, and Pazil also walked out with a smile.

The girl covered her mouth and walked back with a smile.

Looking at Li Xuewu's embarrassment, Pazil pursed his lips and wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

Li Xuewu just gave a light laugh indifferently, then exhorted, "I'll leave this to you; don't let any mistakes happen."

"Understood, don't worry, with me here, there will be no problem."

Pazil promised and patted the thing at his waist; this was given to him by Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu nodded and looked at Ji Wang Weidong's compartment. Why hadn't this kid come out yet?

Didn't they say they would split up just now? Li Xuewu meant that he would go handle business, and Ji Wang Weidong would go buy supplies.

But looking at it now, it seemed he could only handle the business himself and still had to buy supplies to put on a show.

Just as he was thinking, the girl who had gone back just now came back, but this time the cool clothes were replaced by normal fur cotton clothes for this season.

"Let's go."

Seeing Li Xuewu was ready, the girl said this.

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "What should I call you?"

"Xilin, what about you?"

"Lin Xi."

"Hahahaha."

This girl was also smart; hearing Li Xuewu's answer, she didn't take it seriously but laughed.

Everyone is out mixing; of course, they report stage names. Do they report ID numbers?

The two chatted and laughed as they left the tent and walked toward the tent next to it.

Li Xuewu chatted and laughed with Xilin while signaling Zhao Yajun to follow.

"Brother Yu, someone really came."

San Gaze, who had been squatting on Guanshan Road for a month, greeted Yu Min beside him.

"I saw it, do I need you to tell me?"

Yu Min held up his binoculars and stared fixedly at the three guys who entered the villa.

One was a thin man looking like a cadre, and two were burly men looking like followers.

Grass, this is even more stylish than himself; what's their background?

Yu Min put down the binoculars, turned his head, and asked, "Have you seen these people before?"

"No."

San Gaze shook his head and said, "Except for that Li guy, no one else has ever come to their house."

"Strange, where did these three pop out from?"

Yu Min frowned and couldn't think of it; he was sure these three weren't figures in Steel City.

Because Steel City, just as Wu Fengxian said, isn't that big; as long as they are famous, he knows them clearly.

Are these three not some powerful outsiders?

But looking at the one in the lead, he doesn't look like a hoodlum; could he be a person of status like himself?

Yu Min couldn't figure it out here, so he held the binoculars and kept staring at the movement in the villa.

But because he was afraid of being discovered, he didn't dare stare too closely, so he couldn't see clearly what was happening inside.

It would be better at night when the surrounding light weakened, and he could see the people in the room.

But right now, forget it!

"Like this, you get out of the car, pretend to be a passerby, and stroll around the gate. Don't come back the same way; take a detour."

"Okay, Brother Yu!"

San Gaze promised and got out of the car, cursing Yu Min for being a fool, but his legs still walked toward the villa.

He didn't know why Yu Min wanted to monitor this place, just learned from the last action that Yu Min was interested in this place.

When passing the villa gate, San Gaze glanced inside.

The cadre-looking person who just went in was sitting on the sofa, gesturing and talking, and the two women were listening.

"Don't worry, leave things to me, Man, and I'll definitely handle them beautifully for you!"

Wen San'er sat on the sofa, waving his hands proudly, indicating that Wu Fengxian's matter would be handled by him.

"Then I'll trouble you, Manager Man."

Zhou Ya Mei didn't know what medicine Li Xuewu was selling in his gourd, but seeing that this person was indeed "introduced" by herself, she could only muddle through the acting.

Lou Jie naturally knew what was going on and smiled at Wen San'er: "Manager Man, this money isn't just mine; you must be cautious when operating."

"Of course, of course."

Wen San'er promised and waved his hand to confirm: "As soon as I received your news, I was preparing. Two train cars of medicinal herbs have already set off from Jicheng."

While laughing, he turned his head and glanced at the two people behind him, asking, "Qiangzi, the medicinal herbs we ordered in Jicheng are confirmed, right?"

Da Qiangzi's brain was about to crash at this moment; when did they order medicinal herbs? That wasn't...

"Yes, Manager Man."

He seemed to understand now; this big swindler seemed to be here to cheat people.

Because from the words just now, it seemed these two women weren't good people either.

The box of golden yellow things confirmed on the coffee table just now didn't look like it was obtained properly either.

Wen San'er turned back satisfied, looked at Wu Fengxian, and said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't neglect Comrade Liu, right?"

"Hehe, you understand."

Wu Fengxian crossed her legs and didn't even look at the two people staring straight at the box by her feet, saying to Manager Man with a light laugh: "What Comrade Liu promised you will definitely be fulfilled."

"Hahaha!"

Man Dejie smiled, stood up, and reached out his hand: "Time waits for no one, so I won't waste your time here. I'll notify you when I need money."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Wu Fengxian stood up, shook hands with Man Dejie, and then sent the few out of the room.

Da Chun'er looked back reluctantly at the small villa behind him and asked Da Qiangzi in a low voice: "That... that box..."

"Don't damn ask."

Da Qiangzi poked Da Chun'er and glared, signaling toward the Old Man Man walking in front.

"Didn't you see? A swindler."

"Hiss~"

Da Chun'er knew it was like this and asked stutteringly: "Then... then Brother Qiang, what do we do?"

"What are you two whispering about behind my back?"

It was Old Man Man, who was unhappy, turning around and asking this.

"Nothing, nothing~"

Da Qiangzi and Da Chun'er hurriedly waved their hands to indicate nothing was wrong.

"We were just saying this house is beautiful, hehe."

"Humph."

Old Man Man "humph"ed, turned back, and continued walking, saying as he walked: "Remember what your shopkeeper said when you came."

"Remember, remember~"

The two promised again, fearing that this Old Man Man would put eye drops on them.

Da Qiangzi gave Da Chun'er a look after Man Dejie turned back and whispered: "You cover me, I'll find a chance to make a phone call."

"Mm-hmm."

Da Chun'er nodded to confirm he understood.

They were just talking when a car came from behind.

The three of them had already walked out of this residential area, and the car was still following behind them.

Even a fool could see something was wrong.

"Brother Qiang, did we run into robbers?"

"Are you stupid! Have you ever seen robbers driving in the city? Are the robbers richer than the ones being robbed?"

Da Qiangzi was poking Da Chun'er when he saw Old Man Man stop and turn to walk toward the bus stop.

"Manager Man..."

"I know, follow."

"Okay~"

The two looked at each other and, having received Manager Man's order, hurried to follow to the bus stop.

Da Chun'er's eyes were lively; he watched the jeep that had been following them all the way stop not far away.

This is bullying them for being fools; it's so obvious, who can't see it?

Before they finished smoking a cigarette, a Beijing-brand Type 57 bus drove over.

Wen San'er put the cigarette in his mouth, grabbed the door handle after the bus stopped, and got on.

The conductor signaled there were seats in the back. After the few walked to the back and sat down, the conductor came over to ask for the destination and collected the ticket money.

"Brother Qiang, that car is still following."

The bus had already driven some distance; Da Chun poked his head out the back window and looked. The car that had been following them all the way was still there.

"Ignore it."

Man Dejie raised his eyelids indifferently after seeing Da Qiangzi look over and said: "Let it follow."

Da Qiangzi, hearing Old Man Man say this, also sat down with Da Chun.

Just like that, the jeep followed Man Dejie's bus all the way to the Steel City trade market.

There were many people here; after the three entered the market, they couldn't see clearly whether anyone was following behind.

At first, Da Qiangzi thought this Old Man Man was taking them to shake off the tail, but he watched Old Man Man wandering around and asking about market prices.

Yu Min raised his foot and looked at the three wandering in front, then asked a stall owner, only to find out that the three were here to ask about grain prices.

This left Yu Min confused; what kind of person was this?

He followed closely, asking along the way behind the three, and they were all asking about the price of corn.

Following to the end, Yu Min also understood; this group of people was fishing.

Outsiders who want to do grain business but have no connections come to the market to wander around.

There are only two types of people who wander around asking for prices but not buying: one is a fool, and the other is looking for those secret big shots.

Is this a bit too coincidental?

Yu Min frowned. Wu Fengxian wants to do grain business?

Impossible~~~

He was more and more confused the more he thought about it, and the more confused he was, the more he wanted to figure it out, so he followed even more closely.

"Why are you here?"

Qin Huairu was working when she suddenly saw Qin Jingru walk in from the entrance.

"Sister, my dad is here~"

If you want to say Qin Jingru is smart, she does stupid things; but if you want to say she's stupid, she has her own little ways.

Knowing the gate was hard to enter, Qin Jingru specifically said she was here to find her sister.

The security also recognized this silly girl who had broken into the post two days ago; she had been seen getting into the section chief's car that day, so they didn't stop her.

Seeing her sister now, Qin Jingru's tears fell.

Qin Huairu had long anticipated such a day, took Qin Jingru's hand, and walked out of the building.

She knew how idle the women in this reception house were; how could she let her sister shout in the lobby?

"Did your dad hit you?"

Looking at her crying sister, Qin Huairu frowned and looked at the small bundle in her hand.

She was annoyed now; this Old Six didn't listen to what she said, just stayed at home and pestered her to find a job.

Now that her family came looking, she knew to come find her.

If this were her own daughter, Qin Huairu would definitely manage it.

But this younger sister of the uncle's generation, plus the character of her second uncle—how to manage this? And how could she not let people manage their own daughters?

Qin Jingru wiped her tears and said, "No, I ran out before they entered the door; I didn't let them see me."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu rubbed her forehead; she was also convinced by this Old Six.

She had originally thought that she wouldn't stay here for many days, and when her dad came looking, she would just go back.

But she never expected this sister to have gained experience in running away.

"Then what do you want?"

Qin Huairu frowned and asked, "If your dad comes to me for someone, I can't hide you, right?"

"Sister~"

Qin Jingru begged aggrievedly: "Sister, arrange for me to work at your place. I'll work hard and definitely won't lose face for you."

Seeing her sister still thinking about this, Qin Huairu said helplessly, "I don't want to explain this problem to you anymore. I'll tell you clearly: it can't be done."

"Then what do I do!"

Qin Jingru cried shamelessly: "I don't want to go back to farming, wuwuwu~"

"Then get married!"

Qin Huairu lost her patience at this moment and said to Qin Jingru, "If you don't like Seeing Sha Zhu, find someone yourself. Once you're married, you'll be in the city, and no one will manage you."

"Where can I find someone~"

Qin Jingru was squatting on the ground covering her face, crying and shouting at Qin Huairu.

"Qin Jingru, I've said a basket of good words to you, do you listen?!"

"Wuwu."

"Where am I supposed to go and find it~"

Qin Jingru was squatting on the ground at this moment, covering her face, shouting at Qin Huairu while crying.

"Qin Jingru, I've said all the nice things I could to you, are you listening?!"

"Wuwu"
