Courtyard: Dagou is Arrested, Lou Xiao'e is Mine

Wang Qiang travels to the Courtyard. "My name is Wang, I am the strongest, I am the old Wang next door."

Living in a courtyard full of "beasts," he plans to try a new way of &...

Chapter 49 Dividing the Goods

"Brother Shazhu, where is this?"

Because Sha Zhu and the six women were all sitting in the carriage, they chatted a lot along the way. Sha Zhu boasted that he was a leader of the steel rolling mill, which fooled the women.

"This is where I live!"

When Sha Zhu saw that Wang Qiang had actually driven the truck back to the courtyard, he immediately started introducing it to the women.

"Brother Wang Qiang, what does this mean?"

Sha Zhu threw the six women into the car and said, "You stay in the car and don't get out."

He went to find Wang Qiang himself.

"What do you mean? If they don't come back, where else can they go? These six people don't have any letters of introduction. People who don't know any better would think we're trafficking women!"

Sha Zhu nodded: "Indeed, without an introduction, we couldn't even find a hotel! But bringing him back, what's the point? Where are we supposed to stay?"

Wang Qiang patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder, "I'll stay in your room. You're not married yet, so I'll give you six at once!"

"Are you kidding? Do you think I, Sha Zhu, am that kind of person?"

Although he said that, Sha Zhu was very happy. He quickly ran to the carriage, helped the women get off the train, and gave them bedding to take with them so they could settle into their own rooms first.

"Brother Wang, what should I do?"

Li Man saw that she had returned to the city and wondered what she would say if she went back.

"Don't go back, or you won't be able to explain it to others. Stay here tonight and we'll figure something out tomorrow!"

"Okay, fine, but I don't want to stay in Sha Zhu's room!"

"Hey, you little girl, you've got a problem with this. Don't even mention it, even if you wanted to stay here, there wouldn't be enough room. See, there are already six!" Sha Zhu muttered a few words when he heard that Li Man didn't want to stay in his room.

Where do you live?

Wang Qiang's words made Li Man very happy, and she almost jumped up. Qin Huairu, however, was extremely jealous.

Be careful, don't strain your back tonight!

Qin Huairu passed by Wang Qiang and whispered something in his ear.

"How could you hurt your back if you didn't push the stroller?"

Wang Qiang slapped Qin Huairu on the butt, which made Qin Huairu roll her eyes at him.

Once everything was arranged, Sha Zhu found Wang Qiang, who was still next to the truck.

"Brother Wang Qiang, what should we do with the things in this car?"

Rice, flour, and cooking oil were all under everyone's watchful eyes, but as for the two boxes of things, only Wang Qiang and Sha Zhu knew about them; they were only told to outsiders that they were evidence.

"In that case, I think we four families will split the rice, flour, and cooking oil!"

Wang Qiang suggested.

"I think that's a good idea. By the way, what about those six women? What if they go around spreading rumors?"

Sha Zhu reminded Wang Qiang that although they had been rescued, who knew what would happen to them in the future, and they had to be careful!

Wang Qiang nodded. Indeed, these days, even being a good person requires careful consideration. It's common for family members to report on each other and distance themselves from one another, let alone go to one's savior!

"It's alright, we won't share with them. A little kindness is appreciated, but too much will breed resentment. Giving too much will only encourage their greed!"

Wang Qiang made the final decision, and Sha Zhu nodded. He knew that if he gave more to others, he would get less for himself.

"Unload these things first, and divide them up. Li Man's things can stay with me for now, and you and Qin Huairu's things can each stay at your own homes!"

"Okay, whatever you say!"

Sha Zhu was overjoyed; this trip had done more work than he would in half a year. He immediately ordered people to start moving things downstairs.

"Wait, put those two boxes in my room first, we'll talk about them later!"

"clear!"ยท

Wang Qiang and Sha Zhu first put the two boxes in Wang Qiang's room, and then moved the rest of the things downstairs. Although several women came chattering and kept moving things downstairs.

The people in the compound saw what was happening, but they didn't know what had occurred. They just marveled at how lucrative it was to drive a truck.

Overjoyed, Wang Qiang drank some alcohol with Sha Zhu that evening, and ended up feeling dizzy before returning to his room. Qin Huairu seized the opportunity and pulled Wang Qiang aside.

"Wang Qiang, you've drunk so much, you can't do anything to Li Man tonight."

Qin Huairu held Wang Qiang's hand, and they were very close.

"Is it any of your business?"

"Oh dear, what time is it now? Why are you still thinking about these things? Why don't you think about what to do tomorrow?"

Although Jia Zhangshi was overjoyed when she brought the rice and flour home, Qin Huairu was still a little scared. If others found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"I have no idea!"

Qin Huairu shook her head.

"Therefore, we are only safe if we take down Li Man; the others are not a concern!"

Wang Qiang's words made Qin Huairu somewhat suspicious of his motives.

"Have you been interested in her for a while now? It's because she's a college student, educated, and I can't compare to her!"

Qin Huairu's girlish temper flared up. This man was still thinking about women at a time like this, and she couldn't help but wonder if she was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Think about it. You won't tell anyone, I won't tell anyone, and Sha Zhu certainly won't tell anyone either. So can you guarantee that Li Man won't tell anyone?"

Qin Huairu thought about it and realized that Li Man was the only person she had spent a lot of time with, and she didn't know her character.

"But what about those six women? And many people in the compound saw us moving things into our homes!"

Wang Qiang chuckled: "Who would those six tell? Who would believe them? Besides, there were no markings on those things. Who can say for sure? Even if they said we bought them, who would know?"

"As for the others in the compound, it doesn't matter. Anyone who tries to leak this out, I'll deal with them!"

"I'm relieved to hear that!"

Qin Huairu finally put her worries aside and leaned her head against Wang Qiang's chest. This scene was witnessed by Sha Zhu, who happened to be coming out.

"Hey, what are you doing? Bullying Sister Qin?"

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu standing next to Wang Qiang, he became displeased. Having drunk some alcohol and feeling a bit tipsy, he was about to confront Wang Qiang.

Even without alcohol, he was no match for Wang Qiang; let alone after drinking, he was even less of a match for Wang Qiang. Sha Zhu reached out a hand to grab Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang spun Qin Huairu around in his arms, then kicked Sha Zhu, sending him flying more than two meters away.

Ouch!

Sha Zhu, who was thrown around and felt completely disoriented, lay on the ground, screaming in pain.

His shout startled the others in the courtyard.

They came back today with quite a entourage, with several unfamiliar women and so much stuff. I'm so envious! So much rice, flour, and meat!

These days, this is hard currency, and everyone is envious. Some can only lament their lack of ability, while others want to make some ulterior motives. Uncle Yan Bugui is one of them.

When he got home from get off work and heard his family's description of the situation, he thought he'd come over and get some food. Little did he know, he'd see Sha Zhu lying on the ground...
