Chapter 367 Beating the Thief to Relieve Emotions
Zhou Yong turned his head and saw an old lady falling to the ground. A man in his early twenties was moving through the crowd in a panic.
Normally, Zhou Yong might not meddle in other people's business, but at this moment he chased after him regardless of his own safety.
Zhou Yong quickly caught up with the thief. The thief struggled desperately, so Zhou Yong punched him in the face.
That was not all. Zhou Yong vented all his frustration and helplessness on the thief, beating him until he cried and screamed.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I won't dare to steal anything again."
Zhou Yong ignored the thief's words and vented his unrelieved emotions with one punch after another.
The thief's nose was bleeding from the beating, but no one among the onlookers felt sorry for the thief. Many people cheered and some even shouted "well done!"
It is true that thieves have been rampant in recent years, making the common people miserable.
Zhou Yong knocked the thief unconscious with a punch. He spat fiercely on the ground and then slowly got up.
The old lady limped forward, and Zhou Yong returned the small cloth bag that the thief had snatched away to her.
"Thank you so much, young man."
It was getting dark, and the old lady's eyes were blurry, so she couldn't see Zhou Yong's age clearly, and the first thing she said was this.
After venting, he felt relieved, and the aunt's words made Zhou Yong laugh.
"Auntie, I don't have to be a boy anymore."
The aunt took a closer look and said with a smile, "Brother, I'm really sorry for the look in my eyes."
Zhou Yong smiled. The old lady took the small cloth bag and wanted to say some words of thanks. He picked up the medicine on the ground and turned to leave.
The aunt chased after him and said, "Brother, I haven't thanked you yet!"
Zhou Yong smiled slightly: "It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning."
After saying this, Zhou Yong walked forward. The old lady looked at his back with a touch of emotion in her eyes.
Zhou Yong staggered back to the guesthouse as if nothing had happened. Zhou Kexin looked at the medicine her father brought back, her mouth wide open enough to swallow an egg.
"Dad, aren't all these medicines mine?"
Zhou Yong nodded with a smile: "Take all these medicines, and the appendicitis inflammation will subside. Otherwise, you will need surgery..."
Zhou Kexin, who didn't understand what was going on, said "oh", and a look of sadness flashed in Li Caiyun's eyes.
The next day, the three of them returned home carrying large and small bags. It was already evening when they arrived home.
Li Hongjun was very well-informed. Just moments after Zhou Yong arrived home, he came to his third uncle's house.
"Is Niuniu's appendicitis okay?"
Zhou Yong chuckled and replied, "It's nothing, just take some medicine to reduce the inflammation."
Li Hongjun, who didn't know the truth, nodded. Li Baotian asked in confusion: "What appendicitis? You brought back a bunch of medicine?"
Li Caiyun replied: "Dad, these are all anti-inflammatory drugs."
Li Baotian said nothing more, got up and went back to his bedroom.
Li Caiyun gathered her belongings and went to the kitchen with a packet of medicine.
The children were all in Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian's room, so only Li Hongjun and Zhou Yong were left in the living room.
There was no one else around, so Li Hongjun sat down next to Zhou Yong and talked about the Wang brothers.
The Wang brothers and the fifth brother were arrested in Hongqi Township. Feng Laogou knew that he could not escape death during the anti-gang operation, so he fought fiercely with the police and was eventually shot dead.
So far, comrades from the Public Security Bureau have been hunting down fugitives from Feng Laogou’s criminal gang.
Zhou Yong lowered his eyes and rubbed his face: "The rain has passed and the sky is clear. I can rest easy from now on."
Li Hongjun pursed his lips slightly, his eyes revealing deep gratitude towards Zhou Yong.
He knew that if it weren't for Zhou Yong, the matter would not have been resolved so quickly.
"Have you rented the house I asked you to rent?"
Li Hongjun nodded gently and lowered his voice: "It has been rented. I will give you the key tomorrow."
Zhou Yong hummed, and Li Hongjun couldn't help asking, "Zhou Yong, why did you let me rent a house in Hongqi Township?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you when I have time."
Li Hongjun didn't ask any more questions, and Zhou Yong asked about the situation of each factory.
Everything was operating normally in all factories and villages, which made Zhou Yong very pleased.
If things get chaotic at work again, Zhou Yong might even want to kill someone.
The next day, Zhou Yong lay in bed at home for the whole morning. He either felt unwell or didn't want to get up.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yong went out for some fresh air and strolled to the entrance of the brigade.
Zhou Yong laughed softly and stepped into the brigade yard.
Sun Qing was sorting out the accounts of various factories at his workstation, Li Ming was lighting the stove, and the others were chatting, reading newspapers, and drinking hot water.
Zhou Yong's appearance made the idle people involuntarily pretend to be busy. This scene made him feel a little amused.
"That's enough, stop making a fuss in front of me."
Zhou Yong knew what everyone was like. Besides, no one could be busy with work all day long. It was normal for people to be lazy occasionally.
Everyone laughed, Zhou Yong sat down in front of the stove, and Sun Qing took a moment to glance at him.
"I heard you were not feeling well? Are you feeling better now?"
Zhou Yong nodded, stretched his hands to the stove, and casually warmed his hands by the fire.
Sun Qing looked at the taciturn Zhou Yong and noticed his abnormality.
"What's wrong with you? Answer one sentence for each question."
Zhou Yong glanced at Sun Qing who was concerned about him and said, "I'm thinking about something at work."
Sun Qing said "oh" and said nothing more, but lowered his head and continued working.
Huaixi Village has a lot of industries, and all the accounts have to go through Sun Qing's hands one by one, so you can imagine how busy he is.
Zhou Yong was staring at the stove. Li Ming asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
"I didn't see anything."
Li Ming picked up the stove hook, moved the kettle sitting on the stove cover, hooked up the stove cover with the stove hook, and filled some wood into the stove.
The temperature in the office is quite high, everyone is chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere is quite good.
Zhou Yong suddenly stood up, which surprised Li Ming.
"Nothing, I'm going home now."
Everyone responded one after another, and when Zhou Yong left, Li Ming said, "Why is the village chief so strange today?"
"Yeah, I noticed that too."
Zhou Yong has always been depressed because of Zhou Kexin's matter.
After all, it concerns his daughter's lifelong happiness. As a father, he needs time to accept this matter.
Fortunately, Zhou Yong has a strong ability to withstand pressure. Even so, he still lost more than ten pounds in more than ten days.
The temperature got colder day by day after December. No one wanted to go out in this kind of weather. Wang Ping, who was pregnant, lived in Hongqi Township. She didn't know anyone here. Whenever she had any problems, Chen Pingliang would call Zhou Yong.
After a while, Zhou Yong was fed up with Wang Ping's troubles, but for Chen Pingliang's sake, he had to go.
Every time I went there, nothing serious happened. Either the stove was smoking, or Wang Ping couldn't heat the kang properly. They were all trivial matters.
That day, Chen Pingliang called the Huaixi Village Brigade again, and Sun Qing answered the call.
After hanging up the phone with Chen Pingliang, Sun Qing was speechless. He then got up and went to find Zhou Yong.
Wang Ping wanted to eat meat, but she didn't have a meat ticket. It was cold and she didn't want to go to the black market which was a bit far from home to buy meat, so she called Chen Pingliang.
However, Chen Pingliang was unable to come due to some matters, so he could only call Zhou Yong and ask him to buy some meat and send it to Wang Ping.
