In the evening, Bai Ying finished her shift at the clinic and took her things home.
Huang Xia is hospitalized in the commune clinic and cannot come back for a few days. Bai Hongbing is responsible for taking care of Gou Nuo.
Looking at Bai Hongbing squatting under the eaves in silence, Bai Ying felt bad too. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Brother, I'm the one who implicated my sister-in-law in today's incident. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had a miscarriage."
Bai Hongbing shook his head. "Your sister-in-law was injured by that idiot. What does it have to do with you?"
Big brother didn't blame her, but Bai Ying felt even more guilty. She wanted to help Bai Hongbing solve his problem even more. "Big brother, what are your plans for the future?"
Bai Hongbing said with a heavy heart, "I plan to build the house as soon as possible to save your sister-in-law from being sad when she returns to the village and sees the place where she had a miscarriage."
"It's good to change the environment," Bai Ying nodded. "Brother, how much money do you need to build a house? I can lend it to you first."
The houses built in the village are all made of adobe. The members of the cooperative make their own adobe bricks to build walls. There is no labor cost, and they only need to provide food. The main cost is the material cost for building the house, but all the miscellaneous expenses add up to less than one or two hundred yuan.
Bai Hongbing quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, little sister, you should save your money for your future education. You don't have to worry about building a house. Big brother will take care of it himself."
Fearing that Bai Ying would say something else, Bai Hongbing quickly took Gou Nuo back to the house.
Gou Nao didn't forget to wave at Bai Ying, "Bye, auntie."
"Um."
Bai Ying smiled at Gou Nuo.
She liked this little niece very much. She was five or six years old and it was time for her to go to school. She would discuss with her parents and elder brother one day to give her a big name, Gounuo, and send her to school.
That is, it looked like the eldest brother didn't want to accept her help.
Is it because of this incident that her relationship with her eldest brother seems to have become distant?
Bai Ying sighed in her heart, not knowing what to do for a moment. It seemed that there was no way to do it in the short term, and she could only wait for it to slowly recover and ease in the future.
Thinking that the day after tomorrow would be the day she was getting married and moving to the farm, Bai Ying felt both excited and a little worried.
Looking forward to a life that will be completely different from the previous life.
I worry about whether I can face the unknown challenges and my second brother who left without saying goodbye.
Thinking of this, Bai Ying began to wonder where her second brother had gone.
In this day and age, you can’t spend the night outside without a letter of introduction. It’s almost dark now and my second brother still hasn’t come back. Could it be that he won’t come back all night again like he did last night?
——
At the same time, the county town.
This is a small county town near the sea in Shandong Province. The county town is not particularly wealthy, but because it is near the sea, there are always some criminals who use sea transportation to smuggle themselves into the city, so the security in the city is relatively strict, and there are militia patrols on the road from time to time.
After Bai Mo entered the city, he remained calm and composed along the way and did not attract anyone's attention.
He walked around and around into an alley, walked to the end of the alley and pushed the door open. Inside was a spacious courtyard with several donkey carts parked in the courtyard. Three or five people were squatting on the ground smoking.
At this moment, seeing Bai Mo coming in, one of the short and fat men with slicked-back hair stood up to greet him, and said with surprise on his face: "Brother Bai, you're here? I knew you would come, haha!"
"Well, I've made up my mind. I want to make money with you, Brother Jiang." Bai Mo nodded and took the cigarette handed to him by Brother Jiang.
Brother Jiang smiled amiably and patted Bai Mo's shoulder with satisfaction. "Brother Bai, you have the ability, and I have the means. If we work together, we'll definitely become rich! Since you trust me, I won't beat around the bush. Take Xiao Wu and the others to pick up the goods tonight."
They said they were receiving the goods, but in fact they were smuggling.
Brother Jiang is responsible for transporting the in-demand goods from other provinces to the county town by sea, and then they transport them to the provincial capital by land to sell them, making money from the resale price difference.
Of course, this behavior is now considered speculation and profiteering, and if caught, you will be severely punished!
High risk means high returns.
Brother Jiang had promised before that Bai Mo could earn 500 yuan for helping him pick up a shipment!
Bai Mo could originally remain rational in the face of this huge sum of money, but today the man gave Bai Ying such an expensive betrothal gift that Bai Mo could no longer remain calm.
He wants to make money, a lot of money, and find a way to take Bai Ying away!
Brother Jiang has connections here. He can take people to Hong Kong City illegally. The lifestyle there is completely different from that on the mainland. You can settle down there without a letter of introduction. The prerequisite is that you have money.
Bai Mo has already made plans. He will first get the money from this delivery and go home to persuade Bai Ying to cancel the engagement. Then he will stay with Brother Jiang and work for him a few more times, and he will be able to save enough money for the trip!
"Brother Jiang, we put him in charge of receiving the goods as soon as he arrived. What if he is an undercover agent sent by the police?" said the tall and thin young man named Xiao Wu with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"What? You don't believe my judgment?" Although Brother Jiang was smiling, there was an indescribable coldness in his eyes.
Xiao Wu shuddered and shook his head quickly, "No, no."
Although he was still very dissatisfied with Bai Mo in his heart, Brother Jiang had spoken, so he could only hold it in no matter how dissatisfied he was.
Soon, it was dark.
The entire city was shrouded in darkness, and the noise of the day disappeared. Only a few scattered households had lights on. There were no pedestrians on the streets, only the occasional patrolling militia.
The tightly closed courtyard gate was opened from the inside, and Bai Mo took out two donkey carts, one of which was empty, and the other was covered with linen, with something unknown in it.
"It's obvious that this cargo can be loaded with just one truck, but you have to use two. You're just trying to be mysterious." Xiao Wu curled his lips, looking down on Bai Mo.
Bai Mo didn't explain, but just glanced at Xiao Wu with a cold look, successfully making Xiao Wu shut up.
This time, in addition to Bai Mo and Xiao Wu, a skinny man was also brought along to pick up the goods. He spoke very little and just worked hard. He was not as annoying as Xiao Wu.
Bai Mo took the two of them and avoided the patrolling militia and rushed to the port on the seaside.
It was late at night and the port was deserted.
Bai Mo and the other two were waiting anxiously at the beach, feeling the sea breeze.
The moonlight shines on the sea, reflecting sparkling light.
I saw a fishing boat slowly approaching on the sea surface in the distance. There was no light on the boat, and it was approaching the shore at a very fast speed.
"quick!"
As soon as the fishing boat docked, Bai Mo whispered an order, and Xiao Wu and the other man immediately stepped forward and worked together to move the things on the fishing boat to the empty donkey cart at a very fast speed.
Each closed wooden box weighed over a hundred pounds, and there were more than ten of them on the boat. It was a bit slow for just two people to move them, so Bai Mo joined in the effort.
Suddenly, his ears moved, and there seemed to be some slight sound coming from the darkness.
Bai Mo cried out in a low voice: "Not good, hurry up and leave!"
