Chapter 128: Encountering a Confused Old Man



Zhou Bin continued with a smile, "Yes, they haven't officially notified you yet, right?"

Zhao Junhai said: "Yes, I learned about it through an acquaintance."

"That's good. We'll try again when the time comes. Maybe there will be a chance of recovery." Zhou Bin said.

Zhao Junhai shook his head: "This is almost certain. I don't think it will be of much use if we go."

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged. It's not a big deal anyway. Let's give it a try. There's always some hope."

Seeing Zhou Bin's confident look, Zhao Junhai's extinguished hope was rekindled.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Zhao Junhai asked expectantly.

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "I don't have one yet, but if we go over there, maybe we'll find one."

The reason he said this was because he had seen a lot of things like this in his previous life, and with his efforts, some things were eventually turned around.

Therefore, he still had some confidence in this aspect of himself, and he decided to help Boss Zhao, which would also be considered as helping himself.

After Zhou Bin's persuasion, Zhao Junhai finally accepted his proposal.

After he left, Zhou Bin said to everyone: "Although Boss Zhao doesn't want coal for the time being, we should not stop our work. Maybe when things are settled, we will need more."

Liu Junyi said with a bit of heartache: "Zhou Bin, why don't you let us go back first and don't pay us for the time being. We can come back to work after things are settled."

Ah Niu also said: "Yes, brother, we won't add any more burden to you for now."

Others also expressed their agreement with Liu Junyi's idea, but Zhou Bin directly rejected it.

He smiled and said, "Just work hard, I still have money to pay you."

After saying that, he went on to do other things. When everyone saw this, they stopped talking and went back to digging coal.

And just like that, another ten days passed.

Zhou Bin did not go to the coal yard that day and was resting at home. Suddenly, Zhao Junhai drove to find him.

As soon as Zhao Junhai entered the room, he said, "Brother Zhou, Feihong's people have arrived."

Zhou Bin heard the voice and hurried out to greet them, asking, "Boss Zhao, why did they come back so soon?"

Zhao Junhai shook his head: "I don't know. It was said that it would take some time."

Zhou Bin immediately said: "In that case, let's go find them."

Zhao Junhai smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry. I heard that they will go to Jingzhou Restaurant for dinner the day after tomorrow. Why don't we go find them the day after tomorrow?"

Zhou Bin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then the day after tomorrow. I'll go to the county early in the morning, and then we'll go together."

After the two of them had discussed it, Zhao Junhai left.

Zhou Bin thought about what to say to them, and then waited for the time to come.

Early in the morning of the third day, Zhou Bin took the bus to the county.

It was still early, and Zhou Bin had not had breakfast as he was in a hurry, so he planned to come to South Alley to have breakfast first.

He walked along the South Alley, wanting to go to Li Bingyi's place first to have a bowl of tofu pudding.

But when I got there, I found that Li Bingyi didn't come today. I had no choice but to eat a bowl of noodle soup.

As soon as I arrived at the noodle stall, I saw an old man being pulled by his sleeve by the auntie selling noodles, and she wouldn't let him leave.

The old man's face turned red and he shouted, "Why are you pulling me? I want to go home!"

The old lady was so angry that her face turned red and she yelled, "You old man, you ate your meal without paying and you want to leave!"

The old man muttered, "I gave you money! Why are you asking me for money again?"

The auntie was furious: "You are talking nonsense. When did I ever take your money? You old liar!"

When the people around saw this, they all gathered around and stood aside to watch the fun.

Zhou Bin found that the old man seemed a little confused and his speech was not particularly clear.

He hurried forward and asked, "Aunt, what happened?"

The auntie said angrily: "This old man ate three bowls of my noodles at once, and he didn't have a penny left. He wanted to eat for free!"

Zhou Bin hurriedly advised: "Auntie, don't be angry first, maybe the old man has encountered some difficulties."

The auntie replied, "Don't blame me if he gets into trouble. How much money do I make from this bowl?"

Zhou Bin took a closer look at the old man. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes and didn't look like a poor man.

He immediately said, "Aunt, don't be angry, I paid for the old man."

As he said this, he gave the money to the aunt who was selling noodles, and the aunt stopped yelling.

He quickly helped the old man to one side and asked, "Old man, what's your name? Where are you from?"

The old man said anxiously: "My home is in Xiyuan Village. I have to go back to find my wife!"

"You said you were from Xiyuan Village? Then what's your name?" Zhou Bin asked.

The old man touched his head and said, "What's my name?"

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an answer, and muttered: "My wife's name is Liu Xiaomei, and she's waiting for me to come home."

As soon as Zhou Bin said this, his mind buzzed. Liu Xiaomei? This name is so familiar. Isn't it the name of Grandma Liu?

Zhou Bin was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He asked hurriedly: "Your wife's name is Liu Xiaomei. Is she from Beiyuan Village?"

The old man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! She is so pretty! Everyone in Beiyuan Village knows her!"

Oh my God! Zhou Bin couldn't help but sigh. This old man turned out to be Grandma Liu's husband, Zhou Yubao, who had been missing for decades!

He couldn't believe his ears. How could this person appear here?

And he looked a little confused. How did he get to the county town?
