Chapter 143: Set on Fire
After riding his bike to send Shan Ningquan home, Chu Xuan took out 10 yuan and put it in Shan Ningquan's hand in front of his brother.
Shan Ningquan thanked her and immediately put the money into his brother's hand.
Dan Anquan patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Just be sure to come back safely."
Then he looked at Chu Xuan, "You made a special trip to send my brother back. Are you afraid that he will go back and steal those valuables?"
In fact, Chu Xuan didn't have to send Shan Ningquan back.
Shan Ningquan waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother, don't say that. Those things are of unknown origin, I dare not steal them, I don't want to get into trouble."
Chu Xuan looked at Shan Anquan with a smile on his face, "I trust Shan Ningquan! I came here again to discuss cooperation with you. Are you interested in the grilled fish fillet business? My family makes grilled fish fillets."
Mu Chenze said that Dan Anquan was an upright person, and Chu Xuan was very happy to cooperate with such a person.
Usually, Dan Anquan would go to other places to buy rare goods and sell them back to make a profit.
If you take the grilled fish fillets to other markets to sell, you can also make some money.
"Are the grilled fish fillets that Mu Chenze brought to the city from your family?"
"That's right."
"He left me more than a pound of it. It's delicious. Xiao Ning and I both love it. How much do you plan to sell it to me per pound?"
"The lowest price is 1.6 yuan per jin. Outside the city, you can sell it for 3 or even 4 yuan per jin and people will buy it. Of course, this doesn't apply to coastal cities."
"In three days, I'll hire a car to go outside the city to exchange for rare goods. How about hauling a thousand pounds to test the waters first?"
"No problem, but no credit."
"Okay. I'll prepare 1,600 yuan. Can I have your address? Write it down in my notepad."
Dan Anquan took out a palm-sized notebook and a ballpoint pen from his pocket.
He has the habit of carrying it with him.
Chu Xuan took it and quickly wrote down his home address.
Before leaving, I couldn't help but ask, "I want to know when did Mu Chenze ask you to buy the bicycle? And when did you notify him that it had arrived?"
Dan Anquan responded nonchalantly, "He asked me to buy it half a month ago. I notified him yesterday that the goods had arrived."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but sigh at Mu Chenze's thoughtfulness. He treated her better in this life than in the previous one.
I chatted with Dan Anquan for a while before riding away.
I planned to go to the hospital to say hello to Mu Chenze, take the sweater I had knitted one-fifth of, and then go home.
As I walked into the ward and picked up the cloth bag containing the wool, before I could tell them about today's harvest, Mu Qinlao and Mu Chenfu pushed the door open.
After greeting each other and chatting for a few minutes, Chu Xuan realized that the village tractor was waiting outside.
Since there was a tractor, he didn't need to ride his bike back, so he left the bicycle key to the Mu family. He knew they would need it without asking.
The Mu family accepted it with pleasure.
Today's tractor driver is Xun Ren.
On the way back, he couldn't help but ask Chu Xuan, who was sitting in the truck bed, "Why are you willing to leave the newly bought bicycle to the Mu family? If it were me, I would definitely not want to give it away."
Chu Xuan smiled calmly, "Because the Mu family treats me very well, I am willing to give up anyone who treats me well."
Xun Ren curled his lips and said, "Your marriage with Mu Chenze didn't work out, but his family surprisingly didn't have any prejudice against you. Maybe it's because his mother and sister-in-law worked with you and earned a lot of money from your family."
"No. It's because his family is so generous."
At this moment, Chu Xuan suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.
It was Wei Qiang running towards the department store.
"Xun Ren, stop the car!"
Xun Ren slammed on the brakes.
Chu Xuan took the initiative to greet him, "Comrade Wei, it's so late. Where are you going? Do you need a tractor to take you there?"
Wei Qiang said seriously, "I do need it. Please take me to the department store."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped onto the truck.
Xun Ren knew Wei Qiang and guessed that there was an emergency, so he hurried towards the department store.
Wei Qiang whispered to Chu Xuan, "There was a theft in a yard near the department store. I just heard that the victim was Feng Chunhua. Feng Chunhua is on her way."
Chu Xuan feigned shock. "Feng Chunhua has a yard in the county town? Is she that rich?"
"She is indeed rich. She owns two courtyards in the county town."
"You really need to find out where her money comes from."
In her previous life, Feng Chunhua had the excuse that Chu Xuan subsidized the Chu family as a cover, but in this life, she doesn’t have that.
Wei Qiang chuckled, "You're right."
Soon, they arrived at Feng Chunhua's yard near the department store.
Wei Qiang jumped from the truck bed to the ground.
The locks of the courtyard gate and bedroom door were pried open and the house was burned. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and the surrounding neighbors were not affected. However, there were still several small fires and smoke spots in the house.
Xun Ren discussed with Chu Xuan, "Shall we stay and watch the fun?"
Just what I wanted.
But Chu Xuan agreed reluctantly, "Alright! It's already half past ten in the evening, we'll just take a look and leave."
"Okay, I'll be leaving in a minute."
Xun Ren parked the tractor where it would not get in the way.
You can see the houses burning.
The glass windows exploded, the doors were burned and deformed, and the walls were black.
All the furniture in the house was damaged, and some was still on fire.
Chu Xuan stood on the truck bed and didn't get off.
As long as the fire didn't spread to other people, she didn't need to go down to help put out the fire.
Wei Qiang has joined the firefighting team.
Xun Ren also ran into the yard.
Chu Xuan couldn't tell whether to put out the fire or pick up the leak.
Chu Xuan was a little confused. Not long after she and Shan Ningquan left here, someone came and stole and set fire.
Could it be that someone else saw Dan Ningquan showing her the gold necklace and jade pendant?
Impossible!
At that time, she specifically looked around and found no one, not to mention that they were hiding in a very secluded corner.
Is that strange?
Could it be that Danning came back and did it?
Faced with the temptation of valuables, he couldn't resist?
About ten minutes later, Xun Ren came over with his hands in his pockets.
Chu Xuan saw that his pockets were bulging, so she didn't expose him.
I don't know what he stole.
He couldn't help himself, and when no one was looking, he took out two handfuls of candy from his pocket and showed them to Chu Xuan. "I took them out secretly. They were in the candy jar and weren't burned by the fire. I'll give you half?"
Chu Xuan flatly refused, "I dislike her dirty things. You can keep them for yourself!"
"It's a waste if you don't eat it. Oh, and I also picked this up." Xun Ren was holding a kerosene iron lighter. "This thing didn't explode. It's really good quality. Feng Chunhua's family still uses this foreign thing! This is a good deal for me. Don't tell anyone else."
"Don't worry! I'm too lazy to tell anyone else."
After watching the excitement for a while and preparing to leave, Chu Zhi came over on a bicycle with Feng Chunhua on his back.
Feng Chunhua was only looking at her own yard and didn't see Chu Xuan and Xun Ren.
"Who the hell set fire to my house?"
Hurrying to the bedroom.
Seeing the empty bed legs, Feng Chunhua couldn't help but yell, "My family's ancestral gold necklace and jade pendant were stolen..."
Chu Xuan and Xun Ren didn't listen to the rest of the conversation.
After all, Xun Ren had stolen something and felt guilty, so he drove the tractor and took Chu Xuan away.
It was almost midnight when Chu Xuan returned home.
Chu Feng hadn't slept yet, his face filled with worry. "Sister, why did you just come back? Didn't you say on the phone that Brother Chen Ze was fine?"
Chu Xuan didn't bother to answer, "I'll tell you later. Don't bother me yet, I have something important to do."
I went back to my bedroom, found a pen and paper, and drew a man according to my memories from my past life...
