Hu Qinghai woke up from his dream and found himself still lying in the dilapidated house. He realized that winning a lot of money in one go was just a dream.
However, having such a dream is a good thing; it's a good omen. When he gambles at night, he'll definitely win money.
He seemed to already see the great unity fluttering in the air before his eyes.
After savoring the experience, he closed his eyes and went back to sleep, hoping to recharge for the casino that night.
County Public Security Bureau
Lin Sisi ultimately decided to visit Lin Guanghui.
It's a done deal that Lin Guanghui has been convicted of murder; let's just consider this a final farewell.
She arrived at the police station, but Captain Li told her that Lin Guanghui was no longer there. As a murderer, Lin Guanghui was no longer fit to stay in the detention room and had been transferred to the city prison.
"You can visit him in the city prison. Also, it's estimated that he will be sentenced soon after being convicted. If there are other people in your family, it's best to notify them as soon as possible."
Lin Si thought of Fang Huilan.
Not long after she and Lin Guanghui went to the countryside, Fang Huilan suddenly became rich again. She saw that the address Fang Huilan used to send things to Lin Guanghui was still Beijing.
She later corresponded with Fang Huilan several more times and learned that Fang Huilan had married a man who was even more capable than Lin Heping.
Her mother originally wanted to find a way to bring Lin Guanghui back to the city, but before she could come up with a solution, Lin Guanghui had already become a murderer.
However, without Lin Guanghui, her mother will only have her as her daughter from now on, and she will probably only care about herself.
Now that she knows Lin Guanghui has become a murderer, she should tell Fang Huilan as soon as possible, lest Fang Huilan complain that she knew but did not report it.
She planned to write a letter to Fang Huilan as soon as she got back.
After leaving the police station, she first returned to the Mopantun brigade.
Because she needed to get a letter of introduction from the brigade leader to go to the city, and she also needed to write a letter to Fang Huilan, she could only go to the city to see Lin Guanghui tomorrow.
When she returned to the village, she first went to see the village head and asked him to give her a letter of introduction to go to the city the next day. She also wrote a letter specifically to Fang Huilan.
In the afternoon, He Lanlan sat beside Lin Zhiheng and watched him work. Lin Hu felt a lump in his throat and looked at Lin Zhiheng as if he were his enemy from decades ago.
Especially after seeing He Lanlan's infatuated gaze towards Lin Zhiheng, he felt even more strongly that he had to get rid of Lin Zhiheng.
They work as loaders and unloaders, handling not only grain but also other goods. He actually had the opportunity to injure or kill Lin Zhiheng with cargo, but after a whole afternoon, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity and could only wait until tomorrow.
When Lin Zhiheng got home from get off work, Lin Qingyan also returned from the clinic.
"Xiao Heng, you've already told your boss to stay home and rest tomorrow. I'll cook you something delicious."
Lin Zhiheng scratched his head and said to Lin Qingyan, "Sister, I want to discuss something with you. Can I go to the black market again tomorrow? I don't want to rest anymore."
"Why?" Lin Qingyan suddenly realized that the little guy probably wanted to earn more money. "Xiao Heng, you can never earn enough money. You need to take care of your health. Spring plowing is a big project and it's very tiring. You must rest well in advance, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it later."
"Sister, I'm fine. I'm healthy and strong. You don't need to worry about me."
After thinking it over, Lin Zhiheng decided to tell his sister the truth.
"Sister, actually, it's because someone asked me to go for another day, and I've already agreed to it."
"Did your boss send you?"
Lin Qingyan felt that the black market boss wouldn't be so petty as to specifically ask a porter to work an extra day.
"No, it's Uncle He's daughter, Comrade He Lanlan. She's the one who told me about Lin Guanghui's whereabouts last time."
Lin Zhiheng then remembered that he had a lot of money left over from buying a gift for He Lanlan yesterday, so he took it out and stuffed it into Lin Qingyan's hand.
"Sister, I bought her a gift that I haven't used up yet."
Lin Qingyan glanced at the money, which seemed to be untouched.
She looked at Lin Zhiheng with a puzzled expression: "What gift did you buy for him? The money is all there."
"She only wanted a hair clip, which cost her a dime."
"One cent? What's going on? Did you pick out the gift for her, or did she choose it herself?"
"She chose it herself."
Lin Qingyan pondered why He Lanlan only wanted one hair clip. Was it because she liked the hair clip, or to save them money?
"Xiao Heng, this girl is quite easy to deal with."
"Oh, I wanted to invite her to dinner, but she refused. She probably didn't want us to spend money."
"She's such a good girl. Let her come to our house sometime, and I'll cook for her."
"Oh, I'll tell her when I go tomorrow. But, sister, I have to go to work another day tomorrow."
Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Since you've promised, then go. But..." She then seemed to remember something and looked at Lin Zhiheng, asking, "That young lady probably doesn't want you to leave. Tell me the truth, does she have feelings for you?"
"Yes." Lin Zhiheng nodded honestly: "She said she likes me, sister. This is the first time a girl has ever said something like that to me."
"And what about you? How do you feel about her?"
"I think she's alright. But sister, I feel like we're not a good match."
At this point, he silently lowered his head.
Lin Qingyan seemed to see his self-conscious expression again.
"Xiao Heng, why? Do you still feel unworthy of her because of what happened in the past?"
"Mm." Lin Zhiheng nodded.
“Xiao Heng, those things are all in the past now, aren’t they? Remember what I told you? You are yourself, you are no less than anyone else. The fact that that girl likes you proves that you are excellent and worthy of her affection.”
Lin Zhiheng was suddenly enlightened by Lin Qingyan.
"Sister, do I really need to start dating so early?"
"You're seventeen this year. If you don't want to date, just tell them you want to be friends first, and then you can date them when you're more mature. But it also depends on whether they're willing to wait for you."
"Sister, I will tell her."
“Okay, I trust my brother’s judgment. When she comes to our house another day, my sister can meet her.”
Hu Family
Hu's parents and Hu Qingquan were extremely anxious because Hu Qinghai hadn't returned home all day.
"Father, Mother, that scoundrel didn't take the jade pendant to the casino, did he? What if he loses it?" Hu Qingquan asked anxiously.
Mrs. Hu was also restless: "He took the jade pendant yesterday and hasn't come back yet. He's probably gone to the casino. Sigh, why did I give birth to such a good-for-nothing son?"
Hu Qingquan said, "I need to go find him, to make sure he doesn't actually put the jade pendant in there."
"Where are you going to find him? Do you even know where he gambles?"
