After Xia Xinfa was woken up by Mad Monk's wooden fish, he couldn't fall asleep anymore and got up from his bed. He put the Jiaxing dumplings that Qian Yangyi had given him yesterday into the pot and heated them up for his daughter to eat as breakfast. Then, he took the birdcage and went to Joy Pavilion for breakfast. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the autumn fog filling the air. It was hazy, and even the shop opposite was blurry. A damp fog rushed towards him, making him feel stuffy. Normally, he would not go to the teahouse. Today, he thought about it and went out. It had been four days since the news of Hua Shijie entering the class reached his ears. He was worried about Luo Yuzhen. Most people in D City knew that Luo Yuzhen was both a sister-in-law and a mother. She treated her uncle better than her son. Now that her uncle had entered the study class, wouldn't this sister-in-law be anxious? He felt that if he didn't help Luo Yuzhen secretly, she wouldn't be able to take the blows one by one. He would become a villain who didn't keep his word. He felt ashamed. When Xia Xinfa saw him, he smiled coldly and walked away. He couldn't blame her for being cold, he could only blame himself for being timid. He plucked up his courage and went to Gong Laifa's village the day before yesterday under the pretext of going to the countryside to take photos. He beat around the bush and asked his widow, Zhou Xuemei, about the cause of Gong Laifa's death. Zhou Xuemei had asked Fang Zhaorong to come and ask about it last time, saying that someone suspected that it was a medical error. Soon after this person left, he heard that the county had determined that Hua Shiliang was the one who died and had even convicted him of counter-revolution. He felt bad and wanted to go to the county several times to explain. Someone advised her that this was a case of injustice for the counter-revolution and that she should be convicted. Besides, Doctor Hua had already committed suicide, so it didn't matter what happened. She still had two children. If something happened, who would rely on the children? The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, and she did not dare to say anything else. Today, seeing that the photographer was casually talking about it, he said,"Blame it on my bitter life, blame it on my short lifespan, and blame it on Physician Hua for dying of illness.”When Xia Xinfa heard her say this, he slowly tried to persuade her. This honest man always felt sorry for Doctor Hua, so he told him in detail how Gong Laifa's illness acted up, how he asked Doctor Hua to treat him, how he recovered, how he relapsed, how he died, and so on. Xia Xinfa heard the problem and said,"I heard that typhoid patients can't eat cold porridge and cold rice. You guys are too careless." So it was because you didn't pay attention to your food that you died. This has caused Doctor Hua's family a lot of trouble." Xuemei felt that it was right, so she said,"We were careless when we came to send it, and we harmed the Hua family."”Xia Xinfa was very happy to hear this, but he was not in a hurry to leave. He comforted the two children and even took a photo of them. I'm just asking casually. Don't tell anyone. Xuemei also nodded. When he returned to the city, he immediately went to look for Zhang Haitao. The police chief had not returned from a meeting. Recently, the teahouse had been talking about the Hua family again. It was said that Luo Yuzhen had broken into the county government three times and the consequences were ominous. He wanted to listen to these discussions before the police chief arrived.
When Xia Xinfa entered Joy Pavilion, the shop was still cold and quiet. Only Weng Zitang and Xu Jingfu were whispering to each other at a table. When they saw him enter, they picked up their teacups to drink tea and changed to talking loudly.
Weng Zitang glared at Xia Xinfa and turned to Xu Jingfu."The fog is really thick today."
Xu Jingfu also tried to strike up a conversation." Spring fog and rain, summer fog and heat, autumn fog and cool breeze, winter fog and snow.'With such a heavy fog, it must be cold.”
Xia Xinfa ignored them. He picked a table, hung up the birdcage, and adjusted his beloved myna.
The customers arrived one after another. Weng Zitang and Xu Jingfu sat at a table with more people. Weng Zitang had become the center of the Hua family's special news, and everyone welcomed him to sit in. When he sat down, his deskmate asked him how the three monkeys of the Hua family were doing.
Weng Zitang picked up the teapot and poured a cup of black tea into the teacup. He picked up the teacup, looked around, took a sip of tea, straightened his chest, and began his speech in a serious manner."It's called Fiendish Three Monkey. It's just that monkeys are hard to change their nature. They're still not convinced after entering the study class. Sun Wukong was in the palm of the Buddha, but he still wanted to do a somersault. He thought that his tendons were thousands of miles away and that the palm of the Buddha could not be big. After flipping around, they were still at the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain. The three monkeys were stubborn. They refused to admit that they were in the wrong. How about they argue with the officials? Now, he was locked in the small room alone. Did you know? This was a small prison within a large prison. If the situation was not serious, they would not be locked up. Hua Sanhou would definitely be punished. If Ji Qingqing became a counter-revolutionary, her life would be over. The story of the Daoguang era was not casually told. That was a case decided by the emperor. What was the emperor? What the emperor said was right, but what he said now was wrong. --”
Qian Yangyi interrupted indifferently,"I heard that one of the three monkeys is the class monitor.”
Weng Zitang laughed and said,"You don't understand. What kind of people are there?" Counterrevolutionary! Being the class monitor of the counter-revolution was a great counter-revolution. Based on this point, it could be seen that the problem with the three monkeys was serious. It was more serious than everyone else inside! --”
Qian Yangyi said indifferently,"You're a cadre of the study class. You know everything that's going on inside. What did these three monkeys say to the officers?”
Weng Zitang rolled his eyes at Qian Yangyi and said,""How can you say that casually? Keep it a secret!"
"Will the three monkeys be sentenced?" Fei Mushan asked.”
Weng Zitang said," That's for sure. If we don't sentence him, he won't be able to enter the study class."”
"How many years should I be sentenced to?" Qian Yangyi asked again.”
Weng Zitang became anxious. He said,"Boss Qian, did you bring a hoe today? We were just chatting, but you dug up the roots." You can't say if you don't get a verdict, and you don't have to ask if you get a verdict. Don't you understand this rule?”
When Qian Yangyi heard the hidden meaning in his words, which was clearly to say that he had been in prison, she was furious. She slammed the table and said,"Son of a b * tch, when did the Hua family step on your tail? Why do you have to ruin people like this? If he didn't touch his butt, what was he?”
With Xu Jingfu backing him up, Weng Zitang also jumped thirty feet and said,""Who did I ruin? If the government wants to carry out a counter-revolution, I can't say anything! I want you to stand up for the counter-revolution." He glanced at Xu Jingfu from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Xu Jingfu smiling and nodding at him, he became even more energetic." I've never been in prison before. My butt is bare, so there's no need to touch it."”
Qian Yangyi was so angry that her face turned red. She left her seat and was about to pounce on Weng Zitang when Xia Xinfa rushed over and stopped her. He forced her to sit at his table and said softly,"Do you have to be serious with such a person?'I would rather kowtow to Buddha than fight with ghosts.'He was patient. They really got into a fight and brought it to the police station. No one can take advantage of it. Endure a moment of anger and avoid a hundred days of disaster.'" Xia Xinfa handed Qian Yangyi a cigarette. Seeing that Ah Liu had already brought Qian Yangyi's teapot over, he poured tea into Qian Yangyi's teacup.
Weng Zitang glanced at Xia Xinfa and Qian Yangyi from the corner of his eyes, then said loudly to everyone,"It's strange. As long as the Hua family is mentioned, there will be people who are dissatisfied and want to seal my mouth. Heh, it's not that easy! I must say it. Did you hear that the Third Monkey even seduced women? Now, there's a shameless girl pretending to be her cousin to visit him in prison! --”
Fei Mushan knew that Weng Zitang was talking about his daughter. Fei Guixiang had told him about visiting Hua Shijie. He was anxious and annoyed, so he said,"Boss Weng, save some merit with your mouth. Why bother?”
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the honest Fei Mushan's words. Mo Guilin, the owner of the Southern Goods Store, also wanted to provoke Weng Zitang, saying,""In that case, Boss Weng's mouth is really ** Hahaha."
Weng Zitang flew into a rage out of humiliation, thinking that Fei Mushan was even easier to bully. He pointed at Fei Mushan's nose and said,""I'm talking about your daughter! Aren't you used to it?"
Fei Mushan didn't mind being scolded or beaten up, but if anyone bullied his daughter, he wouldn't let them. He would risk his life. He was so angry that his mouth was trembling, but he couldn't say anything. In a moment of desperation, he picked up the teacup and splashed it on Weng Zitang's face."You, you, you…"
Weng Zitang wiped the tea off his face, picked up the teapot, and threw it at Fei Mushan. He cursed,""You gave birth to a shameless daughter who stole a counter-revolutionary! --”He heard a slap and felt a burning sensation on his face. When he took a closer look, it turned out that the person who slapped him was a familiar young man. He only knew that he was a fisherman, but he did not know that his name was Shen Huimin.
Shen Huimin never went to a teahouse to drink tea. Today, he was selling fish at the entrance of the teahouse. He had just sold out and wanted to go back. He heard someone talking about the Hua family in the teahouse, so he walked in, wanting to hear who was talking about the Hua family. Hearing Weng Zitang's nonsense about the three monkeys seducing women, he was already burning with anger and forced himself to suppress his temper. When he saw Weng Zitang throwing the teapot and scolding Fei Guixiang, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He came up and slapped Weng Zitang and said angrily,"I'll let you keep your mouth clean!"
Weng Zitang knew that he was no match for this fishing. He covered his face with one hand and said unforgiving,"I curse the counter-revolution, but you dare to support the counter-revolution!”
Fei Mushan dodged quickly and was not hit. He argued,""What kind of counter-revolutionary am I?"
Weng Zitang almost shouted,"Hua Sanhou is a rebel!"
Seeing that Weng Zitang still wanted to scold Hua Shijie for being a counter-revolutionary, Shen Huimin slapped him again and said,""I want to support the Hua family. What do you plan to do?”
" You-" Weng Zitang wanted to say," You're supporting the counter-revolution, so you're also a counter-revolutionary." But he was scared and changed his words." You dare to hit people? I know you, so I won't let you hit them for nothing."”
Shen Huimin smiled and said,"Remember, my name is Shen Huimin. I'm a fisherman." I hit you because you called Hua Shijie a counter-revolutionary. If you want to sue, go ahead. If you want to fight, go and get someone. I'll wait here. I'll tell you again, if you ever say anything bad about the Hua family again, I'll knock out your teeth. If you don't believe me, you can try."
After being slapped, Weng Zitang did not dare to speak again. He only pretended to be a good man. He glared at Shen Huimin angrily and cursed in his heart."Damn it, how dare you bully me. One day, the heavens will let you drown in the Qingxi River!”
Xia Xinfa did not know about the relationship between Shen Huimin and the Hua family. Seeing that this young man who was fishing dared to speak up for the Hua family in the teahouse, he admired him and felt ashamed of his inferiority. He wanted to go closer and pull him over for tea. He stood up and saw Xu Jingfu walking to Shen Huimin's side.
Xu Jingfu patted Shen Huimin's shoulder and said with a fake smile,""Young man, save some energy and go fishing. Don't be in the limelight here!”
"What's there to be in the limelight about? I'm just not used to it.”
"I admire you for wanting to fight injustice. It depends on what it is. Some things can't be fought. I saw that you were young, so I advised you to go back.”
Shen Huimin did not leave.”
When Wang Fuxing came over from the south of the bridge, he had already seen Shen Huimin standing in the teahouse angrily, as if he was quarreling with someone. He walked in and happened to hear this sentence, so he deliberately said with a straight face,"Why are you calling yourself a hero? Go back!”
When Weng Zitang heard the mayor's words, he became motivated and squeezed forward to complain."Mayor Wang, I was only talking about the counter-revolution in the Hua family, but this kid slapped me twice. He's clearly supporting the counter-revolution. He's too arrogant."
Mayor Wang saw that Shen Huimin was about to speak again, so he stopped him and said,""Are you going to listen or not? Go, go, go!" She pulled Shen Huimin out of the teahouse.
Weng Zitang thought that this was a good accusation and became smug. He wanted to take the opportunity to regain his face and said to everyone,"Humph, will there be a good end for supporting the counter-revolution? This kid was a role model! Let the mayor take it away. Anyone who spoke up for the Hua family would not have a good ending! I want to talk about the counter-revolution in the Hua family. Would the widow of the Hua family have a good ending after barging into the county government three times? It was only a matter of time before the paper horse shop was set on fire. This widow of the Hua family was used to being a shrew when she was young. Heh, she wanted to play with the government today, but how could she be so relaxed?'This shrew would definitely not have a good ending, and even the people who had spoken up for the Hua family. If Widow Hua overturned the case, she would be thrown into prison sooner or later. Everyone did not know that Widow Hua was the one who the government wanted to punish!”
Xia Xinfa couldn't hold it in anymore, this Drug Lord was too much. He had once asked Chen Chunfang where she had heard about Luo Yuzhen's bad behavior when she was studying. She said that it was Weng Zitang who said it. There were a few times when he wanted to talk to this Drug Lord, but he was too scared to do so. He felt that it was not appropriate to speak up. If he asked him what his relationship with Luo Yuzhen was, would he want him to stand up for him? It was difficult to answer, and she kept it in her heart. Today, seeing the hidden meaning in Medicine Insect's words and calling Luo Yuzhen a slut and shrew, the fire in his heart rose to the top of his head. He really wanted to rush up and slap Weng Zitang's mouth. Just as he stepped out, he stopped again. He thought that there were too many people in the teahouse and the tavern. After all, Weng Zitang didn't scold him directly and rushed up to hit him. The others were not convinced, so he might as well use words to provoke him first. He deliberately said to Qian Yangyi loudly,"Drinking tea was originally for leisure. Who would want to listen to the barking of a mad dog all the time! Let's go!"
His words caused a great deal of laughter.
Xu Jingfu had long wanted to find an opportunity to teach Xia Xinfa a lesson. Although he had no evidence against Xia Xinfa, he was still suspicious of Xia Xinfa seducing Chen Chunfang. After hearing Xia Xin's words, he thought that the opportunity had come, so he gave Weng Zitang a look.
The last time Weng Zitang let Xia Xinfa borrow Eighth Brother to scold him, he had always held a grudge in his heart. Today, after hearing Xia Xin's words, he had attracted the ridicule of everyone, and he was even angrier. Seeing Xu Jingfu winking at him, he became bolder and angrily pointed at Xia Xinfa, asking,"Xia, you better be clear with your words. Who are you calling a mad dog?”
At this moment, Song Jingzhong had already walked into the teahouse with a basket of vegetables and Lu Chunhua. Seeing Weng Zitang's domineering attitude towards Xia Xinfa, he stepped aside and stopped walking forward. He sneered and watched.
"Who do you think you're scolding?" Xia Xinfa sneered. Who was the mad dog that was either biting or barking here early in the morning!”
"Xia, don't start a fire. I'm also a famous firefighter. Since you've burned me with wildfire today, I'll put out your fire! You're unhappy because I scolded the family of the counter-revolution. Luo Yuzhen is a slut. Did you suck her **”
Xia Xin was so angry that his face turned red. He ran in front of Weng Zitang and punched him in the chest, saying,"You mad dog actually bit me!”
Weng Zitang staggered and took a few steps back. He pulled out his fist and threw himself at Xia Xinfa, cursing,"F * ck your ancestors, how dare you hit me!”
Xia Xinfa dodged to the side and was punched in the arm by Weng Zitang.
Qian Yangyi also walked over, wanting to help Xia Xinfa beat up Weng Zitang, but Xia Xinfa stopped her, saying,"Do you need two people to beat this mangy dog?”
Weng Zitang swung his fist at Xia Xinfa again, but he missed. Instead, Xia Xinfa punched him. He became even crazier and picked up the bench to hit Xia Xinfa.
Ah Liu hurriedly came up and hugged Weng Zitang, persuading him,""Boss Weng, don't hit me!"
Weng Zitang let Ah Liu hug his waist and couldn't move. He said anxiously,""Let go, how can you stop a fight like this!”He put down the bench and hit Six's hand hard.
Xu Jingfu saw that Weng Zitang was going to suffer a loss, so he also wanted to take the opportunity to beat Xia Xinfa up. He hurriedly walked to the table facing the west street and pointed at Xia Xinfa in front of him, who was standing there to watch the fun, and said softly,"It's him. Hit him harder. Be careful, only internal injuries, don't see blood!”
Song Jingzhong had already seen it and quickly passed the basket to Lu Chunhua. He ran behind Qian Yangyi and asked him to keep an eye on Xu Jingfu and not let him escape. Seeing six young and strong men walking towards them aggressively, Song Jingzhong stood behind Xia Xinfa and waited with a smile.
Xu Jingfu proudly pulled over a bench and stood up to watch. He also saw Song Jingzhong and was even happier. He thought to himself that the few friends he called were all proficient in boxing. No matter how good Song Jingzhong's ability was, it would be difficult for him to resist. You're delivering yourself to my door. You deserve to suffer!
Ah Liu was annoyed by Weng Zitang's beating. He released his hand and pushed Weng Zitang forward, saying,"If you want to fight, go ahead! Who would fight and mediate a fight? He really didn't know how to appreciate a good person!”
Weng Zitang was caught off guard and rushed forward. He tripped over the bench he had just put down and fell to the ground. His thigh hit the bench and he cried out in pain.
The six men had just walked up to Xia Xinfa and were about to start a fight when Song Jingzhong rushed up to Xia Xinfa and said,""Big brother, go away!" The six of them wanted to avoid Song Jingzhong and hit Xia Xinfa. Seeing that there were onlookers on both sides and Song Jingzhong in the middle, he was unable to chase Xia Xinfa away. They didn't know Song Jingzhong, so they naturally didn't take him seriously. They thought that since he was a troublesome person, they should let him eat some food first so that they could guard against the onlookers. They called Song Jingzhong.
Song Jingzhong only parried and did not retaliate. He didn't want to hurt anyone, so he smiled and advised,""I advise everyone to stop. Why do you have to work so hard for others and make enemies out of nothing?”
These six people were originally instigated by Xu Jingfu, so how could they be willing to listen to advice? Although they could see that Song Jingzhong was not a good cook, they relied on their numbers and their own martial arts skills, so they naturally did not take Song Jingzhong seriously. One of the fat men threatened,""I think you should mind your own business. Be sensible and move aside!”
Song Jingzhong smiled and said,"As the saying goes,'When you receive money, you will use it up.'I still advise everyone to stop fighting and make friends.”
Weng Zitang had suffered a loss. Seeing that help had arrived, he was unwilling to give up. He sat on the stool and rubbed his aching leg as he said to Song Jingzhong,"Brother Song, didn't you see how Xia Xinfa beat me up? Am I made to be beaten up?"
Song Jingzhong smiled and said,"You have to ask your own mouth."”
Just as they were talking, Lu Chunhua had already walked up to Xia Xinfa and asked him to hurry home.
Xia Xinfa said,"It was me who caused this. How can I leave first and leave Jing Zhong here alone?"”
The chubby one of the six also took the opportunity to punch Song Jingzhong while he was talking. However, Song Jingzhong managed to block it, and the other five followed suit.
Song Jingzhong saw that his persuasion failed and did not show any mercy. He started to fight with his fists and feet. He knocked down two of them first. Seeing that the other four were still unwilling to give up, he knocked down another two, stepped on the fat one, and turned his hand over. It was so painful that the fat man lay on the ground and begged for mercy. The other two who were not knocked down also received a few punches. They had already weighed Song Jingzhong's weight and did not dare to be rash. They could only put on a smile and plead for the fatty.
Seeing that something was wrong, Weng Zitang stood up and wanted to escape.
Ah Liu stopped Weng Zitang and said,"Boss Weng, you haven't paid for the teapot you broke."”
Weng Zitang blinked and denied,""When did I break your teapot? You pushed me just now and injured my leg. I haven't compensated you for the medical fees yet. Go away, go away. Consider it my bad luck. We're even.”She wanted to push Six away so that she could slip away.
Xia Xinfa walked over and pulled Weng Zitang, saying,"I haven't finished speaking. Walk slowly!"
Weng Zitang wanted to hit him, but he didn't dare to. He stared at Xia Xinfa with hatred and fear, saying,"You were the one who attacked first. I've already let it go. Why do you have to make things difficult for others?"
Xia Xinfa didn't let go of his hand, nor did he say anything. He just smiled at him.
When Xu Jingfu saw that his man had been defeated, he quickly jumped down from the stool and wanted to escape.
Qian Yangyi stepped forward to stop him." Boss Xu," she said with a smile," this is a good show. Why are you leaving just like that?"”
Xu Jingfu felt hatred in his heart, but he smiled and quickly handed him a cigarette."Boss Qian, what's there to see in a fight? If the police saw it, they would think that we were involved in the fight. Don't get horny when you eat mutton. Let's go together.”
Qian Yangyi also smiled and stopped Xu Jingfu.""To watch a show, you have to watch a show. We're far away from them, so their fists can't hit us. I'll accompany you for a drink after you're done."
Mo Guilin, the owner of Nanhuo Store, did not know what the two of them were thinking. He also came up to persuade Xu Jingfu, saying,"Is that so? Let's leave after watching the reunion. The gongs and drums are beating vigorously.”
Xu Jingfu still smiled perfunctorily." I have something to do." Before he could finish his sentence, someone called out,""Boss Xu, please come over!" He could tell that it was his men calling him, and knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only bite the bullet and go over.
Song Jingzhong saw that the fatty had already begged for mercy and the other five had also pleaded for mercy. He let go of the fatty and let him get up. Song Jingzhong asked Ah Liu to make a few more pots of tea and politely let these people sit down to drink tea. Seeing that Song Jingzhong was still on his way, these six people also answered his questions in detail. It turned out that they were all people from Kang County. They supported bamboo rafts. Every year, spring bamboo shoots were listed on the market, and they also brought some bamboo shoots business. That was how they got to know Xu Jingfu. Xu Jingfu was also a person who made many friends. Every year, when he went into the mountains to harvest spring bamboo shoots, he relied on them to help him and treated them well. Last night, they went to Huzhou with bamboo rafts. When they passed by here, they went ashore to send some chestnuts to Xu Jingfu. Let him stay. He had originally planned to have lunch today and had nothing to do in the morning, so he asked Xu Jingfu's disciple, Yan Qijin, to accompany him here for tea. They had just sat down when Yan Qijin went to buy breakfast. Xu Jingfu came over and asked him to beat Xia Xinfa up. For a friend, if a friend loved or hated someone, then that person would also love or hate someone else. There was no need to ask what was going on before making a move. To make things clear, they still didn't know why they wanted to hit Xia Xinfa. Song Jingzhong said that Boss Xu was just standing there. Why didn't you call him over and ask him what was going on? So they shouted for Xu Jingfu to come over. The people in the row were also straightforward. Seeing that Song Jingzhong had the same temper, they could agree. They deliberately wanted to invite Xu Jingfu over and persuade him to resolve the grudge.
Xu Jingfu walked over with a big smile on his face and hurriedly handed him a cigarette. Song Jingzhong didn't want to embarrass Xu Jingfu because of the six people, so he took his cigarette.
The fat man suffered the most, so he endured the pain and asked,""Boss Xu, we've been fighting for a long time, but we still don't know why. We're all friends, so why don't you explain it to everyone? If there was resentment, then there would be resentment. If there was hatred, then there would be hatred. I see that Brother Song is a good person. I'm happy to make friends with him.”
Xu Jingfu said," Is that so? I'm also in contact with Brother Song. Why did you hit him?" Brother Song, these brothers are unfamiliar with each other. They didn't recognize Mount Tai. No wonder they didn't recognize him. I'll apologize on their behalf. Let's go to Savant's Restaurant for a drink at noon as an apology.”
The six of them nodded in agreement and tried their best to encourage him.
"Boss Xu, it's hard to say if you want to hit me or not. Then why did you order these six brothers to hit Xia Xinfa?" Song Jingzhong asked. You have to make this clear."
Xu Jingfu could only smile and prevaricate." A straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. Brother Song, you also know that Weng Zitang and I have some friendship. I saw that Weng Zitang suffered a loss just now and was unconvinced. That's why I asked these friends to help beat up Boss Xia to avenge Weng Zitang. Actually, I don't have any grudges with Boss Xia. She was really ignorant and meddled in other people's business. Boss Xia, it's my fault. I've offended you.”
Xia Xinfa understood in his heart that Xu Jingfu had deliberately used this opportunity to hit him because of Chen Chunfang. Fortunately, Song Jingzhong arrived. Otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss today. He felt resentful and said,"Are you really being a busybody? I've offended you for giving birth to such a clever mouth."
? Qian Yangyi said in a neutral tone," Boss Xu, I've been watching the show for a long time. It's only now that I understand that you paid for this show. No wonder you wanted to leave these brothers behind."”
When the six people heard this, they were all secretly shocked. They thought to themselves that Xu Jingfu was also a dabbler. If it weren't for Song Jingzhong's kindness, we would have been beaten to death today and no one would have collected our corpses. They all looked at Xu Jingfu with dissatisfaction.
Xu Jingfu looked at Qian Yangyi grumpily, thinking," What did I do to offend you? Why are you making things difficult for me? One day, I will teach you a lesson." However, she smiled and said,"Boss Qian, why are you still joking with me at this time?"”
Song Jingzhong did not want to listen to Xu Jingfu's nonsense and said,"Boss Xu, you were the one who called for this fight. Look at the broken teapot, table, and stool. Who should pay for this? He couldn't possibly let these six brothers fork out more money.”
Xu Jingfu was also tactful and said,"Brother Song, do you still need to say this much money?" No matter how much, it's still mine. Was this called 'meddling in other people's business and eating farts'? -- Ah Six, count how many broken teapots and tea cups are there. I'll get someone to buy them and send them over. I'll get someone to repair the tables and benches that need to be repaired. If it couldn't be repaired, it would be replaced. Brother Song, is this okay?" Then to his six friends,"Let's go!”
When Song Jingzhong saw the six people standing up and about to leave, he quickly stopped them and said,""Don't be in a hurry to leave. I won't hide it from you. You've already suffered internal injuries. It's not light. After noon, it will act up. Come to my house after a break. Take your medicine and rest here for a day before leaving. Otherwise, even if you meet a good doctor, you'll still have to recuperate for two months. They all relied on their physical strength to eat. They couldn't eat at home for a day.”
When the six people heard this, they did not leave and sat down again. They were very grateful to Song Jingzhong.
"Boss Xu, it's not nice of you to pile me up here," Weng Zitang shouted anxiously.”
Xu Jingfu was also afraid that Weng Zitang would stay here and talk nonsense. He would tell Song Jingzhong and the others what he wanted Weng Zitang to do. He could only stand still and say,"I say, Boss Weng, you're really too much. How can you go to Liangshan without 33%. You offended people for no reason and even lost the money that helped you. Who wants me to be your friend? -- Boss Xia, this Brother Weng, was also a useless and honest person. He liked to show off, liked to play with his mouth, and did not know what was good for him. He had offended people for no reason. Come to think of it, they were all from their hometown. They had watched them grow up. It was fine if they scolded and beat them up. For my sake, do me a favor and let him go. In the future, he would also be a loach in the pond that could not stir up any big waves. Let go!”
When Weng Zitang heard Xu Jingfu say that he was useless, he was so angry that he really wanted to bite Xu Jingfu."Damn it, I risked my life for you, yet you're mocking me. F * ck, you just have a few more stinking money and let others take the fall for you. One day, I will bury you alive!”
Xia Xin refused to let go. He smiled and said," How much is your favor worth? Since it has already come to this point, we have to let Boss Weng explain it clearly today. We can't let him continue to ruin people here."”
Qian Yangyi was the first to step forward. -- Weng Zitang, you said that Hua Shijie was a great counter-revolutionary. What is your basis?”
Weng Zitang blinked and cursed in his heart, Damn it, you were in prison before, and you still look decent. Weren't you also a counter-revolutionary back then? One day, your sugar mill will be burned by the heavenly fire. At that time, I will not let you go even if I use the tap. I will let you burn it down!”But she said,"I heard it too. What's the basis?" There was no basis for gossip in a tea shop. Wasn't it just that he had nothing to do and drank his fill of tea to pass the time?”
"Then tell me, is Hua Shijie a counter-revolutionary?" asked Qian Yangyi.”
Weng Zitang cursed in his heart, He's not, but you are!”However, he said,"Let me think about it carefully. These three monkeys are so smart. How could they be a counter-revolutionary?" It's most likely someone else's rumor."
"You sounded so serious, I thought you were a cadre in the study class," said Qian Yangyi. From the looks of it, you made up all these groundless words.”
Weng Zitang rolled his eyes at Qian Yangyi and cursed in his heart,""Damn it, so what if I made it up? I was so angry that I made you up. You're a big, big counter-revolutionary. I'll let you go to jail for a few more days!”But he said," Boss Qian, you're also a well-educated and reasonable person. You have to know your limits when you speak. I, Weng Zitang, won't talk nonsense about others." I don't know what to say, but I know what to say. Everyone who drank tea gossiped. If it's up to you, who will pursue it?"
" Weng Zitang," Xia Xin asked," you keep calling Luo Yuzhen a slut and a shrew. Today, in front of everyone, you should be straightforward and tell us the details."”
Weng Zitang glared at Xia Xinfa and cursed in his heart."F * ck, Luo Yuzhen has thin skin and white flesh. You're trying to lick her * ss and force yourself to stand up for her. One day, I'll spoil your ** and make you look at this widow's **, unable to move, fresh fish stinks, and greedy cats cry out! If I want to scold you, then what do you want to do to me?”But she said,"Did I really say that? -- Sigh, I was so angry that I didn't know what I said.”
" Boss Weng, I don't quite understand what you're saying," Mo Guilin said,""You called the widow of the Hua family a slut, right here. I've heard it four times. Could it be that every time I heard it, it made me faint from anger? Who angered you? It couldn't be that a toad was crying out because it couldn't eat swan meat, right?”
Even the people around them laughed.
Weng Zitang rolled his eyes at Mo Guilin and cursed in his heart."F * ck, your aunt's * is all messed up by you. Your wife is sleeping with the fake mayor, you are respectable. One day, I'll f * ck your wife and make you a cuckold!”"Boss Mo, your Southern Goods Store caught fire last year. If I hadn't risked my life, I'm afraid it would've turned into a wasteland!" Don't step on a sinking ship, accumulate some Yin virtue.”
When Song Jingzhong heard that Weng Zitang had ruined Luo Yuzhen's reputation, he was already gnashing his teeth in anger. Seeing that he was denying it again, he walked forward and reached out to pinch his arm. "Boss Song, please have mercy!" Weng Zitang shouted in fear.”Song Jingzhong stopped attacking and shouted angrily,""Tell me!"
Weng Zitang looked at Song Jingzhong with a smile and cursed in his heart,""F * ck, your mother slept with a monk and only let you learn this skill. You're treating a second marriage like a treasure, and you're still dignified. One day, I'll get someone to take away your license and watch you go to the northwest!”"Boss Song, I did say that Luo Yuzhen is a slut, but it's just what I heard." "You also know that I have this illness. I love to sell hot sesame cakes. Once someone's words enter my ears, I can't hold them back. I have to sell them immediately. I'm afraid that if I say it too late, this news will become cold sesame cakes. No one wants to hear it. --”
"Who exactly did you hear it from?" Xia Xin asked.”
Weng Zitang cursed in his heart, You bastard, you must have slept with Widow Hua. One day, I'll catch you in the act and watch you drip!”He smiled and said," Boss Xia, listening to gossip is not like doing business. You have to record the purchase and delivery clearly in the account. Where do you want me to find someone?" Anyway, I heard it from others. Even if I find the person who passed the message, there's no evidence. If he doesn't believe it, you'll say that I'm talking nonsense. He blamed me for being nosy. I became a mouse in the bellows, suffering from both sides.”
Song Jingzhong pressed on further." As long as you tell me who said it, I won't pursue it. If you can't explain it clearly, don't even think about stepping over this threshold today!"”
Weng Zitang was both angry and panicked. He quickly said," Others said that they were cheating, so I don't want to be nosy. I ate the coptis root. Even if I said all this, I made it up for no reason." This should be good, right?"
Xia Xinfa said,"Why are you making things up? You have to make it clear."”
Weng Zitang: " I have nothing to say. It's boring for everyone to sit around. I'll make up some gossip to amuse everyone."”
Fei Mushan bravely stood out from the crowd and asked,""What about my daughter?"
Weng Zitang thought to himself,'What is this' San Xian 'shop? Who in this city doesn't dare to slap you? Today, you dare to spread shit on my head? Bullshit!' He raised his neck and said,"You don't care about your daughter and you're asking me?" To tell you the truth, I saw it with my own eyes."
Qian Yangyi really thought that Weng Zitang had seen something, so she asked,""What did you see?"
Weng Zitang cursed in his heart." Damn it, you're digging the roots with a hoe again. I'm cutting the plum branches and planting dead branches. Where's the root? If you dig, won't you die?!" One day, I will cut off your ** and break your roots!”She smiled and said,"What did you see? I saw your daughter chatting with Hua Shijie."”
"Where?" someone in the crowd asked.”
Weng Zitang didn't know who it was, but he said angrily,""In your house!"
The person who asked this question happened to be Hua Shijie's friend Ah 'Bao. When he heard this, he walked out from the crowd and slapped Weng Zitang."You made it clear. Where is it?”
When Weng Zitang saw that it was another young man, he thought to himself, I was lucky to meet a yaksha ghost today. I failed to seek blessings and instead brought disaster. Damn it, your mother had a lover with a bandit and gave birth to a little bandit like you. One day, I will steal your mother and make you call me father!”"It's on the street."”
Ah 'Bao smiled and said,"Why didn't you say that your daughter and I were sleeping on the street?"”
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Weng Zitang was so angry that he panted heavily. He wanted to scold Ah 'Bao, but he didn't dare to.
"Since you admit that these are all lies you made up, let me ask you again. Are you still going to tell me in the future?" Song Jingzhong said. Think about it first. I won't force you.”
Weng Zitang thought to himself,"If I don't say it, I'll still be called Weng Zitang." "I won't talk about it anymore.”
Song Jingzhong said,"If I hear it again in the future, I'll hit your teeth." Get lost!"
Weng Zitang left in a hurry. There was a burst of mocking laughter from behind. He walked out of the door, put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and strode forward, humming some unknown tune.
Xu Jingfu caught up with Weng Zitang at the crossroad and said softly,""Well argued, you have guts!"
Weng Zitang was proud and said,"The biggest fire, I dare to rush up and put it out. I'm afraid I can't deal with this kind of situation."”
"We can't eat this loss for nothing," Xu Jingfu said in a low voice.”
"Of course. I'm not someone who can be bullied. There will be such a day. Do you have any good ideas?"
"I'll go to your house tonight. I'll bring food and wine.”
"Welcome, welcome. My wife loves to eat boiled chicken and salted duck.”
"Where's your daughter?" Xu Jingfu asked with ulterior motives.”
Weng Zitang widened his eyes and asked in a daze,""What did you say?"
Xu Jingfu deliberately smiled and said,"" Let's tell a joke..." Seeing Song Jingzhong and Xia Xinfa walking over with those people, he quickly said to Weng Zitang," I'll definitely come tonight."”They parted ways.
Lu Chunhua saw Xu Jingfu and Weng Zitang talking from afar, so she said to Xia Xinfa,"These two ghosts, what kind of ideas are they discussing again?”
Xia Xinfa only smiled indifferently,"It's easy to guard against people but difficult to guard against ghosts.‘If you don't do anything wrong, even if a ghost knocks on the door.'”
Xia Xinfa saw that the fat man was in a little pain, so he left the six people at his house and asked Song Jingzhong to hurry up and get the medicine.
Lu Chunhua and Song Jingzhong had just walked out of the shop when they saw Yuan Dangui and Yi Xiaolan. They handed the basket to Song Jingzhong to bring back and told him to cook some for himself. She pulled Yuan Dangui and Yi Xiaolan back into the photo studio.
When Xia Shujuan saw Yuan Dangui, she pulled her to sit down beside her and chatted with her affectionately. She also asked her to teach the opening chapter of " Jade Detective ". She said that this opening paragraph was Auntie Yi's forte and that she should ask her to teach you. Yi Xiaolan also liked Shujuan. Without waiting for Yuan Dangui to speak, she pulled Shujuan, took the pipa, and entered the studio.
Yuan Dangui felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy when she saw the fat young man sitting on the rattan chair. She also saw a black mole on his ear, which vaguely looked like her younger brother. She had been separated from her younger brother for 21 years. At that time, she was only ten years old and her younger brother was only five years old. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right? It seems to be true, but it is not true. The more I look at it, the more suspicious I am. She deliberately placed the jade butterfly hanging on her chest outside her collar and started talking to him.
The fat young man stared at the half of the butterfly as he spoke to her. He boldly asked,"Miss, may I ask if you bought this jade butterfly or passed it down from your ancestors?”
"It was given to me by my father. You know about it too?" Yuan Dangui said.”
"I also have half a piece. It was also passed down from my father.”As the fat youth spoke, he took out the other half of the jade butterfly from the small leather bag hanging on his belt and handed it to Yuan Dangui." I work hard for a living. I'm afraid of breaking it, so I don't dare to hang it often. My name is Ma Longfei, and my sister is Ma Longzhu. Before my father died, he said,"The butterflies are in the brother-in-law's garden." Please try."
Yuan Dangui hurriedly took off the jade butterfly she was wearing and put the two pieces together. It was a butterfly with its wings spread out. Her younger brother called out her real name again and could not help but shed tears. She walked over and hugged Ma Longfei's shoulders, shouting," Little brother!..."
Ma Longfei really wanted to hug his sister whom he had missed for twenty years, but his chest hurt when he moved. He could only pull Yuan Dangui's arms and call out,"Sister!……"Dad was still calling your name before he died, and he didn't even close his eyes…" He choked and couldn't continue. Trembling, he took out a piece of paper from the small bag and handed it to Yuan Dangui. She unfolded the old, yellowed piece of paper."I was originally a bitter gourd root in D City, but I was forced to live in a different city. I hope that when my sister and brother reunite, don't forget the ancestral graves in my hometown.”Yuan Dangui looked at Xia Xinfa in surprise. Lu Chunhua said,"Speaking of which, Ni (I) should still pick up people (here). No wonder Ni (I) always felt a sense of familiarity when I saw the Qingxi River in the morning.”It turned out that Yuan Dangui's parents were from D City. His father, Ma Zhenkun, was the accountant of Hongfa Pawnshop on South Street. He married Luo and was very virtuous. The husband and wife were like fish and water. They gave birth to a daughter, Long Zhu, and a son, Long Fei. Because Luo Shi was beautiful, the cowardly D City County Head took a fancy to him. After failing to lure him, he colluded with the pawnshop owner to frame Ma Zhenkun. He insisted that he had stolen Song Ci's vase, which had just been pawned in the pawnshop for three days, and was sent to prison. Luo Shi knew that the county head had set a trap and took the initiative to beg the county head to let her husband go. The county head said that not only can you let her go, but he is also willing to give your husband three taels of gold. You have to be my third aunt. Luo pretended to agree and agreed to marry the county magistrate three days after her husband was released from prison. Ma Zhenkun was released on the same day. Luo told her husband about the situation and asked her husband to take their children to a faraway place, the farther the better. Ma Zhenkun wanted Luo to go with him, but Luo said that I had been targeted by the people sent by the county head. If I went with him, even my children would suffer. I only gave him three days because I wanted you to take your children and run far away so that the evil thief wouldn't regret hunting you down. Ma Zhenkun couldn't bear to part with his wife and didn't want to leave his hometown. Luo said that if you want me to leave, you'll ruin your family. If you want these pitiful children, you must take them away from this place immediately. As long as there is life, there is no need to worry about firewood. It is best for your children to remember the revenge of stealing their mother. After Luo's repeated persuasion, Ma Zhenkun could only bring his children and his beloved wife to leave in tears. Ma Zhenkun had been unyielding all his life and wanted Luo to return the three taels of gold. He fled to the countryside of Wuxi with only his usual savings. Three days later, the county magistrate Gao Xingxin came to pick up his new lover, but Luo had already hanged himself. The county head was so angry that he sent people everywhere to capture Ma Zhenkun's children. Fortunately, they had already fled far away. At that time, Long Fei was only two years old. Ma Zhenkun asked a friend to introduce him to a small cloth shop in Wuxi. His income was meager and he lived a hard life. He often shed tears for his deceased wife and became sick, making his days even more difficult. A friend saw that the ten-year-old Dragon Ball was beautiful, handsome, and smart. He would definitely have a future when he grew up, so he advised Ma Zhenkun to let Dragon Ball learn pingtan. Ma Zhenkun thought that this was also his daughter's way out, so he agreed. This friend brought the Dragon Ball to Changshu and became his cousin Lu Xiufeng's disciple. Ma Zhenkun's illness worsened day by day, and he could no longer go to the cloth shop. Without income, he thought that he could not always rely on his friends to help him, so he could only bring his son along to beg and return to his hometown. When he arrived in Hangzhou, Ma Zhenkun met an old friend. Only then did he know that his house had been burned down and that the county head was still alive. Since he couldn't return to his hometown, Ma Zhenkun relied on the money from his old friends to go to Hu Zhou to look for his senior brother. Shixiong treated him really well, but his family had too many mouths to feed and his life was difficult. Ma Zhenkun couldn't bear to drag his senior brother down, so he took his ten-year-old son and bid farewell to his senior brother to beg for a living. Two years later, Ma Zhenkun went to Wukang Mountain to beg. Deep in the mountains, an old couple in their seventies had no children. Seeing that the twelve-year-old Long Fei was good-looking, they pitied his honesty and took them in. Four or five years later, the old couple passed away one after another, leaving only the father and son. Ma Zhenkun was also bedridden and could not get up. Fortunately, Long Fei was already seventeen years old and had learned martial arts from the old Taoist priest at the foot of the mountain. He had good physical strength and was able to get on a bamboo raft to support his father. His father wanted him to go out and inquire about his sister's whereabouts. He also asked around. Those who sang Pingtan didn't even know that there was a Ma Longzhu, so how did they know that Ma Longzhu had changed to Yuan Dangui? Ma Longzhu was learning from Lu Xiufeng. In the third year, this master was raped to death by bandits when he was telling a story at Xushu Pass. The Dragon Ball was lost in a foreign land. Fortunately, he met Yuan Pengfei, an old Pingtan artist. He was still alone in his fifties, so he adopted Dragon Pearl as his adopted daughter. I wholeheartedly teach you skills, treat the dragon ball as if it were my own. Two years later, Dragon Ball's skills improved greatly. Yuan Pengfei was also quite famous in Suzhou. He wanted to promote Dragon Ball and change her name to Yuan Dangui so that they could perform together as father and daughter. Dragon Ball was grateful for his foster father's nurturing and admired his reputation, so he agreed to change his stage name to Yuan Dangui. She was talented and intelligent, and she studied her skills meticulously. Her stage name was shocking. Therefore, the Pingtan community and the audience only knew Yuan Dangui, but did not know Ma Longzhu. Ever since she left her father, she had been missing her father and brother. At first, he followed his teacher everywhere, but he could not go to Wuxi to visit his parents. After he followed Yuan Pengfei, he also went to Wuxi to inquire about it. Everyone said that Ma Zhenkun had already taken his son away. When he left, he was already very ill with consumption. He was afraid that his days were numbered. She was also always on guard, always looking forward to the reunion of father and daughter, sister and brother, so she often hung this jade butterfly on her chest. Every time she went to tell a story, she would deliberately put this jade butterfly outside her collar. Unfortunately, in Wukang area, no one liked to play Pingtan and there was no library. If it wasn't for this fight today, she didn't know when the two sisters would meet again.
Yuan Dangui saw that his brother was injured and asked how he got the injury. Ma Longfei knew that his sister and Song Jingzhong knew each other, so he was embarrassed to say more. He only said that he fell.
Lu Chunhua first cried along with Yuan Dangui. When she heard this, she laughed and said,"Your little brother is so powerful. He wants to beat up his brother-in-law. Song Jingzhong was like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. One punch and one kick, you injured my good brother. Fortunately, he still showed mercy today. Otherwise, you won't be able to recognize this good brother for the rest of your life.”
Just then, Song Jingzhong walked in. Lu Chunhua deliberately hid to the side and laughed.
Yuan Dangui raised his eyebrows in anger and pointed at Song Jingzhong, saying,""Hello! Usually, Dangui Sister is called Dangui Sister intimately, but how can I know that you are hypocritical, taking Ni (I) as your biological brother, beating the real stem (like this) Fu Tuntou (like this), and saying that A Zuoxing is really stem (like this)! Don't be so cruel! Today (today) Ni (I) will not let you go!”
Song Jingzhong was really confused.""When have I ever hit your brother? Even if I had the guts of a leopard, I wouldn't dare to touch a hair on your brother. Besides, I've never even seen your biological brother's shadow.”
Yuan Dangui pushed Song Jingzhong to Ma Longfei and said,""Look, look!”He punched Song Jingzhong's back twice." You still want to deny it!”
Song Jingzhong looked at Ma Longfei blankly and said,""You-"
Yuan Dangui hurriedly asked Long Fei to call him "Brother Jing Zhong."”Long Fei heard his sister call out.
Song Jingzhong smiled and said," Little brother, don't blame me for this. I told you not to hit me, but you insisted on hitting me. That's good. You finally got a little brother."”He turned around and said to Yuan Dangui," Don't worry. Even if I caused this trouble, I'll clean it up. I guarantee that my brother will be fine in two hours. However, you have to pay for the medical fees. We'll settle the accounts clearly."”
Yuan Dangui also smiled and said,"You want Ni (me) to pay for his medical expenses. Ni (me) doesn't need to pay you for his medical expenses. You're already cheap. You're the one who calculated the abacus in the City God Temple!"”
Song Jingzhong quickly gave Ma Longfei and the others medicine.
LvChunHua see MaLongFei took medicine, pulled over XiaXinFa to LongFei called brother-in-law.
Yuan Dangui was so embarrassed that he hurriedly stopped him.”She smiled and pushed Xia Xinfa." You also know how to follow me!"”
During the meal, Ma Longfei told Yuan Dangui that his father had told him that his mother had a distant cousin in D City. He heard that they were the ones who cleaned up his mother's body. He wanted us to find them in the future, thank them, and ask where his mother's grave was.
Yuan Dangui could only ask Xia Xinfa and Song Jingzhong. The two of them lined up and there was only one family with the surname Luo in D Town, and that was Luo Yuzhen's maiden family. Only by asking Luo Yuzhen would they know the details. Song Jingzhong agreed to let him handle this matter after dinner.
Lu Chunhua was a warm-hearted person. Seeing that Ma Longfei was still struggling with the bamboo raft, she felt that it was too difficult. Since you are from D City, you were forced to leave your hometown by the rebels. Now that he was free, it was time to return to his hometown. She told Xia Xinfa that you were the only one in the shop, and that your work was refreshing and technical, so she asked Long Fei to stay in your shop and learn some skills. If you don't want it, I'll help him find another job. Let's see how you, his brother-in-law, will behave in the future.
Yuan Dangui heard Lu Chunhua mention the word "brother-in-law" again and quickly corrected her. Of course, she was happy, but she felt that things were not that simple. Although she had forced him to get married, the man had already been sentenced to ten years in prison. After all, they had not gone through the divorce procedures, and she did not know if the government would agree.
Xia Xinfa also said,"Brother-in-law", if Ma Longfei is willing to help me, I naturally can't wait. It was true that after they were liberated, the lives of farmers and workers were better, and there were more people coming to take photos. Business was getting better and better, and the shop needed a helper. I see that Long Fei is already injured. The bamboo raft doesn't need to hold on any longer. Let's recuperate here for a few days. Once she was done, she would go into the mountains and settle the house over there. Then, she would quickly move over.
Speaking of home, Lu Chunhua asked Ma Longfei if he had married a wife. When he heard that, he smiled and looked at Yi Xiao Lan. He said to Long Fei," You don't have to worry. Your sister has plenty of beautiful girls in her hands. They are enough for you to enjoy a lifetime of love." In fact, she liked Yi Xiaolan in her heart and wished that she could stay in D City. Seeing that Ma Longfei was also a handsome young man who valued loyalty, she thought that the two of them were a match made in heaven. Long Fei was twenty-six years old, and Xiao Lan was twenty-nine years old." When a girl is in her third year of university, gold is piled up into a mountain." Yuan Dangui's sister and brother were blessed.
The other five young men envied Ma Longfei and urged him to stay. He also said that as long as you could stay here, we could also make do with some money to set up a bamboo factory and not eat this tired and dangerous bitter rice on bamboo rafts.
When Xia Xinfa heard that they wanted to set up a bamboo factory here, he remembered what Chen Chunfang had asked him to do. Yan Qijin had been with Xu Jingfu for more than ten years and had accumulated some money. In recent years, he had seen that his master had done too many crooked businesses. He was afraid that something would happen sooner or later, so he wanted to leave Xu Jingfu as soon as possible and start another family. He also made use of the fact that he had many friends in the mountains to invite a few like-minded people to set up a bamboo processing club. Chen Chunfang wanted Xia Xinfa to keep an eye out and find a few good people to help Yan Qijin set up this door. Yan Qijin was an honest man. He was already twenty-nine years old, but he was still alone. If no one cooperated, he was afraid that his master would find trouble with him. Yan Qijin had also secretly come to Xia Xinfa at night, begging him for help. Xia Xinfa discussed this matter with the five of them. When the five of them heard this, they were extremely happy and immediately agreed. As they were talking, Yan Qijin walked in. Xu Jingfu had sent him to Song Jingzhong's house to look for these six friends. Mama Song said that they were all at the Nature photography studio, so he found them here.
Xia Xinfa then told Yan Qijin about the bamboo processing company. Yan Qijin was more than happy to do so, but none of them were locals, and he did not dare to show up for fear that his master would interfere in the future. Xia Xinfa also did not want Song Jingzhong to live the life of a wanderer, so he simply put this matter on Song Jingzhong's neck to prevent this wild horse from running around again. He said,"Qi Jin, how about this? Your master said that he was afraid of your Brother Jing Zhong, so please ask your Brother Jing Zhong to handle this matter.”
Song Jingzhong quickly said," Sigh…No, no, Big Brother Xia, why do you put everything on my shoulders? Don't you know that I'm a wandering dragon?" Besides, I have to build a theater and a bookstore. Even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't handle it!“
Lu Chunhua was full of love. She pitied Jing Zhong. After all, life in the martial arts world was too hard. She nodded at Xia Xinfa.
Seeing that Lu Chunhua agreed, Xia Xinfa said,"It's because of your dragon nature that I want to hold you. As long as you show up and block the matter of the Bamboo Tools Association, you will be able to do it. As for the specifics, the five of them had been busy since they returned from Hu Province. As for the household registration and license, I'll take care of it. Brother Song, we've worked hard to build the country and let you sit in the Royal Court safely. Where else can you find such a cheap thing? Let's talk about the matter of Gai Shuchang. Let Long Fei run errands with you first. You won't be busy then, right? When the weather is warm, which wild goose doesn't fly south? When it's liberated, who doesn't want to live and work in peace and contentment? But you still have to travel north and south. You're already thirty-four years old. Why don't you get married to Chunhua early and have a child? Otherwise, you'll let down your mother who has been waiting for you for a lifetime! This matter has been decided. You can't make excuses anymore.”She then whispered into Song Jingzhong's ear,""I know you're a day-old and have no savings. I'll pay for your share first. When you become rich in the future, give it to me. It doesn't matter if you don't. We're still friends.”
Lu Chunhua waited for Xia Xinfa to finish speaking before she moved her ear to Song Jingzhong's mouth and said,"What kind of conspiracy are you up to? You have to tell me clearly.”Song Jingzhong had no choice but to repeat what Xia Xin had sent. When Lu Chunhua heard this, she said,"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Xia." How about this, I'll take this share. Let me say this first. If you can't run this processing company well and lose my capital, I won't forgive you!”
"Isn't this forcing me to go to Liangshan!" Song Jingzhong laughed.
It was settled. Xia Xinfa helped them draft an agreement to jointly set up a bamboo processing company. The seven of them took turns to sign the agreement. Song Jingzhong, Yan Qijin, Gong Dingfang, Yan Yongshan, Lang Zhuping, Zhou Zhihua, Gong Yunfei. The processing club was named " D-City Qunli Bamboo Processing Club ".
Song Jingzhong wanted Gong Dingfang and the other five to queue up again tomorrow afternoon and recuperate here for a day to ensure that there would not be any relapse of old injuries in the future. Yan Qijin was afraid that it would be too late and his master would scold him, so he left with Gong Dingfang and the others. If the five of them didn't go and meet Xu Jingfu, he might become suspicious. Yan Qijin was well aware of his master's schemes and was very careful.
Song Jingzhong wanted to go to the Hua family and ask Luo Yuzhen about Ma Longzhu's distant uncle. He also pulled Lu Chunhua away.
Xia Shujuan came back from buying fruits on the street and told her father that she had bumped into Uncle Zhang Haitao at the crossroad. He said that he had just returned from a regional meeting. When Xia Xinfa heard this, he thought of the Hua family. Zhang Haitao didn't show up for dinner. After dinner, he went to the police station to look for Zhang Haitao. Only Zhang Haitao's son, Zhang Jianmin, was reading in the room.
"Uncle Xia!" Zhang Jianmin stood up obediently and quickly made a cup of tea. He respectfully handed it to Xia Xinfa and said,"Please sit!"
Xia Xinfa was very envious of his junior brother for having such a polite son. Usually, he would bring delicious food to Zhang Jianmin. He really liked this kind and sincere child, and he couldn't wait to be his son-in-law in the future. He was in a hurry today and forgot to bring some good food for Jianmin. He felt a little guilty and said,"See, I was so stupid to come empty-handed.”
Zhang Jianmin said,"Isn't that better? Every time I let Uncle spend money, I feel bad." Actually, I don't like to eat snacks either. Uncle, don't spend money on me for nothing in the future.”
Hearing this, Xia Xinfa was even more impressed by his junior brother's ability to educate his child. However, he felt a little wronged for his child and secretly blamed his junior brother. He had a single son, and his mother had sacrificed herself early. He shouldn't have been too strict with his life.‘Eat a little more than a hundred taels, want to go whoring to gamble ten thousand taels is not enough.'As for his children and grandchildren, as long as he didn't go to whoring or gambling, he didn't have to worry too much about food and use. In life, weren't the two words " food and clothing "? Sigh, junior brother, you were forced to suffer because of the old society. In the new society, how could you let your child suffer? He had to discuss this matter with his junior brother. He could not mistreat the child. If you're afraid of spending money, why don't you just give the child to me? Why keep so much money? It's not like you can bring it into the coffin! "Where's your dad?" he asked Jianmin.”
Zhang Jianmin said,"He went to a meeting in the county." Before he left, he told me to go to bed early. His meeting today will end at least at twelve o'clock.”
Xia Xin thought, Good heavens, the great party has so many meetings! It was like this every day from morning to night. Meeting, meetings, wasn't that annoying? When he was young, his fellow disciples even tried to listen to books on the wall and watch the opening play. Since he had opened his own shop, the two of them would always go to listen to commentaries together. Yuan Dangui had been here for so many days, and he was almost done with his book," Painting of the Golden Phoenix." She had invited him many times, but she had pushed it off to the next day, and the next day to the day after. She had not been there even once. Meeting, meeting, meeting every day, your nerves are all tensed up. Can't you have some entertainment to relax? If it were me, I would have fallen ill long ago. Sitting here and waiting for nothing, wasn't it to listen to Dan Gui's "Painting of Golden Phoenix"? Xia Xinfa stood up and said to Jianmin,"Tell your father that Uncle came over and asked him to come to my house for dinner tomorrow. You should come too.”She took out some cash from her pocket and gave it to Jianmin." Buy whatever you like.”
Zhang Jianmin refused to take it. He said," Thank you, Uncle. I don't need to buy anything. The money Dad gave me hasn't been spent yet."”
" Silly boy, is there anyone in this world who is afraid of having too much money?" Xia Xinfa saw that Jianmin refused to take it, so he placed the money on the table and was about to leave.
Zhang Jianmin was anxious. He grabbed the money and pulled Xia Xinfa back. He put it back in his hand and said,"Uncle, hide it. Otherwise, if Dad finds out, he will think that I asked for it from Uncle and will be scolded again.”
Xia Xinfa placed the money on the table and said,"Silly boy, can't you not tell your dad?”
"That won't do. How can I hide it from my father?”
"How about this, you say that Uncle Xia forced you to accept it. When I see your father tomorrow, I'll confess myself. I guarantee you'll be fine!" Xia Xinfa said and left.
It was already dark outside the police station. Looking at his watch, it was only seven o'clock. There were only one or two people walking on the street. Although the moon had already risen, the street was narrow. The shops on both sides were two-story buildings that were erected high. The moonlight could not shine on the road, and there were no street lamps. The street seemed dark and unclear. Lu Chunhua told him that Mayor Wang already had a grand plan to expand D City. He wanted to expand the streets, turn the stone roads into cement roads, gradually rebuild the shops on the streets, build a power plant, and install street lamps on the streets. They were clearly bright, so they no longer had to carry lanterns and use flashlights when walking at night. He believed that Mayor Wang was a practical person. However, the Great Party had taken over the mess. The country was still very poor. It would not be a matter of a year or two to build D City into what Mayor Wang had hoped for. Since there was such a good mayor who dared to say and do things, the entire town's people had to be active. They had money, money, and strength to promote the construction of D City. He thought that this power plant had to be built as soon as possible. With a power plant, every household would be lit up, and the streets and alleys would be brightly lit. How good would that be? Why didn't he mobilize the entire town's business community to invest in a power plant? D City was one of the key sericulture areas in Hangjiahu. The industrial and commercial circles were also rich. It was not a problem to invest some money in the power plant. There was strength in numbers. The power plant would definitely be built very quickly. Then who would initiate this matter? Qian Yangyi had attended an industrial school when he was young. He said that he had done research on electricity, and he had the ability and reputation in the business world. Yes, I'll discuss it with him tomorrow. Maybe he has a better idea.
Xia Xinfa thought about it as he walked. The road was no longer dark. It was as if the power plant had been built. The street lamps on both sides of the road were bright. Neon lights were installed outside the shops like Hangzhou and Shanghai. They were colorful and flashing. The doors of the shops were wide open, and the lights in the shops were bright. The night in D City was no longer dark and cold. It was also like Yangbatou in Hangzhou and Nanjing Road in Shanghai. Pedestrians flocked and the lights were bright...
Xia Xin was so excited that he changed the lyrics of "Night in Shanghai" and hummed softly,
D-City was dark at night.
Now, it had become the Nightless City.
On the banks of the Qingxi River, the lanterns lit up.
Singing and dancing.
Everyone would get drunk if they didn't get drunk, and they would happily spend their lives.……
He was very excited. It was as if he could already see the bustling and magnificent scene of D City that Zhang Haitao had once told him about. His blood was boiling. He wanted to accept Zhang Haitao's advice and dedicate his blood to the construction of the new dynasty. He wanted to be a patriotic businessman!
