"Only a lame woman came and said she wanted to buy some rotten wood for the fire, but who knows what she was thinking, she left without buying anything!"

"What's wrong, Master? Why are you so panicked?"

The old man slapped his thigh and said:

"It's broken. She took the things in the stool!"

Dunzi didn't understand why and asked:

"What's in the stool? What's in the stool?"

The old man didn't bother to explain to Dunzi, and told him:

"Dunzi, you stay here and watch over me. I have to report this to your ninth brother!"

Afraid that Brother Nine would cause trouble for Dunzi, the old man thought for a moment and then said to Dunzi:

"Remember this. No matter how your ninth brother asks you, you always say that you don't know what happened. That stool was bought by a lame woman. Do you know that?"

Dunzi was also very afraid of the Ninth Brother mentioned by the old man. He knew that he might be in trouble, so he nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I remember!"

Hearing Dunzi's agreement, the old man felt relieved. He chopped up the stool and threw it into the brazier in the house. When it was burned clean, he went to report the matter to Brother Jiu!

We can't let Brother Jiu know that it was Dunzi's fault. If he really did something wrong, it would only be him and that lame woman's fault!

Ninth brother is not a good person, but he has done favors for both Grandfather and Grandson. If it weren’t for Ninth brother, Grandfather and Grandson wouldn’t be able to live the life they have now!

When the uncle arrived at Ninth Brother's house, Ninth Brother was still very polite and said:

"Uncle, why are you here? I just happened to have a lot of extra meat stewed at home, you can bring some back when you go back!"

How dare the old man accept it? He said nervously:

"Nine, I made a mistake. I'm old now, and my memory is not that good!"

"I went home to cook, and forgot to tell Dunzi that there was something in the stool. Then a lame woman took a fancy to the stool, and Dunzi sold it to her!"

"Nine, hurry up and think of a solution. What should we do about this?"

When Brother Nine heard this, he was shocked. He looked at the old man with a gloomy face for a long time. He stared at the old man so hard that his back was wet with sweat in the winter. Then Brother Nine snorted coldly and said:

"Tell me the characteristics of that lame woman, and I'll ask the little monkeys to look for her. She must have been really bold to steal my things!"

The old man nodded and agreed:

"Yes, yes, yes, I guess it's my fault. I always look at this stool. I guess she got suspicious!"

"She must know something. Otherwise, who would spend money to buy that black stool, and buy it when I'm not around and Dunzi is here!"

After hearing what the old man said, Brother Nine became thoughtful.

Brother Jiu was wondering if he had been targeted by others because of his recent activities in the black market. Was taking away his gold bars a signal or a provocation?

No matter what, we have to find this lame woman first!

Ninth Brother took it seriously, stood up and said to the old man:

"I'll come back with you and ask Dunzi about this woman's characteristics. Then we can quickly draw a portrait and see if we can find any clues from the people we know!"

When he heard that he was going to ask Dunzi, the old man was a little nervous, but he knew that he couldn't anger Brother Nine at this time, so he quickly agreed:

"Okay, Dunzi has a good memory, he must remember what this woman looks like, let's go quickly!"

Brother Jiu nodded, and with a serious expression, he followed the old man to the scrap yard.

When they arrived at the scrap yard, Brother Jiu did not make things difficult for Dunzi, but asked him kindly about Liu Baozhu's appearance.

Dunzi still had a deep impression of Liu Baozhu. When asked by Brother Jiu, he recalled:

"I have a deep impression of that lame woman. She looked to be about 20 years old, and her clothes were quite ragged. She didn't look happy at all during the Chinese New Year. She looked bitter and resentful!"

"He's quite thin, of medium height, about 160cm. Oh, yes, he has two scars on his face. I don't know if he got into a fight or was beaten by someone!"

"Big eyes, light eyebrows, flat nose, small mouth, oval face, and the corners of the mouth drooping like this..."

As he said this, Dunzi gestured at Liu Baozhu's mouth!

Brother Jiu drew a rough picture of Liu Baozhu according to Dunzi's description. Dunzi nodded and said:

"Yes, yes, yes, that's what she looks like. Brother Jiu, you drew her so realistically. She looks exactly like that girl!"

Brother Jiu ignored Dunzi's compliments and continued to ask:

"Did the woman say anything else? Or something about the family situation?"

Dunzi slapped his thigh and said:

"Yes, the woman said she wanted to buy some wood to burn at home or something!"

"I asked her to go to the pile of rotten wood, but she stayed there for a long time and left without buying anything. It was quite strange!"

After Dunzi said this, Jiu Ge felt that Liu Baozhu was specifically targeting his gold bars. It seemed that he had been too high-profile in collecting gold bars recently!

Brother Nine frowned and said:

"It seems that the little monkey and his group have been targeted for collecting big yellow croakers!"

"Uncle, you and Dunzi continue to guard here. If Dunzi sees that woman again, please notify me. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first!"

Having said that, Brother Nine took the portrait and left!

The old man saw that Jiu Ge had left, and guessed that he might have imagined something, but it had nothing to do with him and Dunzi. As long as Dunzi was picked clean, nothing else mattered!

The old man told Dunzi:

"I have to keep this to myself. I can't tell the truth to anyone who asks me!"

"Just stay here with me for the time being. Maybe that woman will come back after getting a taste of her own medicine. You can recognize her!"

Dunzi said very obediently:

"Got it, Grandpa, I'll keep a close eye on it!"

Brother Nine gathered all the people from the black market, including Little Monkey, and told them that the gold bars were lost and that they were being targeted. He asked Little Monkey to look for the person based on the portrait and make sure to find the woman!

However, Brother Jiu did not have much confidence in the person in the portrait.

Chang City is not small, and finding someone who wants to hide from them is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Ninth Brother thought so, and the monkeys thought so too, but they knew that Ninth Brother was in a bad mood and did not dare to say so at this time!

Normally, looking for that person would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, but Liu Baozhu fell into the trap!

She took the yellow croaker back, and before she even had time to warm it up, she was thinking about how to spend the gold bars!

First of all, he must bribe Wang the matchmaker and push Lin Manman into the fire pit!

Yes, we have to find that man and ask him to help steal Lin Manman’s pendant!

She needs to be paid more for this matter, otherwise no one will be willing to help her!

Then there is the place to live. She has really had enough of living in the Youth League Home and must move. Why should her place be worse than Lin Manman's!

She also needs to go see a doctor. She can’t delay her leg injury any longer. If she doesn’t get treatment, her leg will be lame for the rest of her life!
