An earthquake caused Jiang Shanshan's originally well-off family of three to transmigrate to the impoverished 1970s.
On the left was their son crying for food in her arms, and on the righ...
The man took a long breath before he could find the strength to answer, "I don't know the reason, really."
As soon as he finished answering, he saw the woman who had just put down the broom was about to pick it up again. He was frightened and his heart tightened. He quickly changed his words, "No, although I don't know why, I know who asked me to do this. I can tell you this."
Jiang Shanshan gave He Xiuli a look of praise who had just moved the broom.
When the man raised his head and looked in her direction, she quickly retracted it.
"Now tell us who asked you to come to my store to make trouble?" she asked.
The man secretly glanced at He Xiuli.
When He Xiuli saw this, she immediately moved the broom in her hand and yelled at him, "Why are you looking at me? Are you trying to say that I told you to do this?"
The man immediately shook his head in fear, "No, I didn't say that. I just wanted to see if you would hit me with the broom again."
He Xiuli replied with a smile on her face, "If you tell us everything we want to know, I won't hit you with the broom again."
The man was so frightened that he nodded vigorously. "I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything, but can you please not pursue what my husband and I did? I heard that if you pursue it, the police will lock us up. We can't go in. I have four children at home. If my husband and I go, they will starve to death."
Jiang Shanshan curled his lips and said, "If you explain everything clearly, we might consider not pursuing revenge on you and your wife for what you did to us."
"We'll explain everything clearly. Whatever you want to know, as long as we know it, we'll tell you." The man immediately assured again and again excitedly.
Jiang Shanshan glanced at them, and after seeing that they had no objections, he turned to the man and began to ask, "You said you knew the person who ordered you to do this. Now tell us, what is that person's name and where does he live?"
"I only know her last name is Zhou. She's a pretty woman, but she's a bit of a snob. When she came to my wife and me to handle this matter, she treated us like we were the plague and kept her distance from us. She also told us we couldn't get so close to her."
When talking about these things, the man's tone sounded quite resentful.
Jiang Shanshan raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Combining with what the man had just said, she already had a candidate in mind.
"That's all I know. My husband and I don't know the rest. Also, that woman promised me that if I destroy your store and make it impossible for you to open it, she'll give us another fifty dollars. That's all."
"Go back first. We'll come find you when we have something to do. But don't let them know that we already know what you did. Otherwise, you and your wife will go to jail."
"Okay, okay, I won't tell anyone." The man nodded desperately in agreement.
"Go away and don't get in our way here. Seeing you like this, I want to hit someone." Seeing that he was still standing there, He Xiuli immediately picked up the broom in her hand and yelled at him.
When the man saw it, he was so scared that he immediately raised his foot and ran out in a panic.
Seeing that the man had finally been driven away, He Xiuli put the broom in her hand back to its original place.
