Chapter 86: Lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Mu Chenze looked at Liu Dapeng with suspicion.
"Why do you ask? Could it be that you like Chu Xuan?"
Liu Dapeng blushed to his ears, "Don't worry about whether I like her or not. Answer my question first."
"I don't want to answer! This is a matter between me and Chu Xuan. You don't need to meddle in it!" Mu Chenze looked Liu Dapeng up and down, deliberately provoking him, "Look, you're as skinny as a monkey, and Chu Xuan is so plump. Do you think you two are a good match?"
Liu Dapeng felt a little inferior, "I am indeed thin and not worthy of her."
Without asking any further questions, he turned and ran away.
Mu Chenze couldn't help but shook his head. Someone like Liu Dapeng, who became so inferior after just a few words, was not worthy of Chu Xuan at all.
Anyway, Chu Xuan said she doesn't plan to get married, so Liu Dapeng can just wait to run into a wall!
Chu Xuan didn't know about this little episode.
After returning home, I said goodbye to everyone and put down the backpack.
There was no mention of picking up amber.
Widow Niu curiously came forward to look at the fish in the basket.
"Xiao Xuan, isn't it a bad idea to catch a sea freight today? Or should we go to the dock and sell the fish before coming back?"
Chu Xuan smiled calmly, "I didn't go to the dock. I came straight back after fishing. It seems that's my luck today."
Widow Niu comforted Chu Xuan with a few words and continued to go out to fetch water.
Just as the others were about to offer some words of comfort, a man's voice was heard outside the door.
"Chu Xuan, please come out for a moment. I heard your family is cooking, so I won't go in."
It's quite particular.
Chu Xuan muttered to himself and looked outside the courtyard gate.
She knew the man, she had seen him in the security team, his name was Wei Qiang.
Walk quickly to the gate of the yard.
Before she could speak, Wei Qiang handed over a stack of money, "This is Sheng Damei and You Daping's compensation for your lost wages. Count it."
Chu Xuan took it, five ten-yuan bills, and counted them quickly.
"Yes, fifty yuan! Thank you, comrade! Come in and have a drink of water. We have food in the kitchen, so it won't be a problem."
Made a gesture of invitation.
"No, thank you! I have other things to do."
Wei Qiang left decisively.
Chu Xuan still wanted to find out what happened to Sheng Damei and You Daping, but they had already left, so she couldn't chase them and ask.
So I went back to the house to change clothes and hide the amber and black stone...
Half an hour later, Accountant Wen came over to report the news.
Chu Xuan and the others only then found out that You Daping's wife learned in the morning that You Daping had been arrested, and she made arrangements with everyone, paid the fine and lost wages, and got You Daping out.
However, he also learned about the improper relationship between You Daping and Sheng Damei.
In the afternoon, he went to the town hospital and slapped Sheng Damei twice. Sheng Damei was so angry that she fought back.
This situation was out of control. You Daping's wife beat Sheng Damei so hard that she couldn't get up from the ground. You Daping didn't know how to stop her and tried to stop her, but he was also beaten.
The beating did not stop until the security team arrived.
Sheng Damei sued You Daping's wife for assault, and You Daping's wife sued her for destroying their marriage.
Either both of them were arrested or they accepted mediation. In the end, they chose mediation, and Sheng Damei got beaten for nothing.
Moreover, Sheng Damei has a special body condition. After this miscarriage, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant again.
Everyone said that Sheng Damei brought it upon herself and no one sympathized with her.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, all the skinned fish were processed and marinated, and Bai Xiaotian came to collect the fish livers and the like.
This time the quantity was large, and I sold it for more than 60 yuan.
After seeing Bai Xiaotian off, Gao Meijuan and the others cleaned the yard thoroughly, leaving no fishy smell.
Chu Xuan and his sister settled everyone's wages for the day and gave each person a bonus of ten yuan.
Starting tomorrow, the grilled fish fillet workshop will be closed.
Chu Xuan knew that a typhoon would come in three days and it would rain for the next ten days or so.
Before the typhoon came, she had to stock up on supplies and pack more than a dozen prescriptions of Chinese medicine.
After seeing everyone off, Chu Xuan grilled two more batches of grilled fish fillets.
Forty-five minutes later, all the grilled fish fillets were out of the oven.
I haven't really calculated how much money I made from the grilled fish fillet business during this period.
Chu Xuan planned to calculate the net profit after all the grilled fish fillets were sold, and then give dividends to Mu Chenze.
Chu Feng was still mending shirts, and he only had a dozen or so to finish.
Everyone working here today thought Chu Feng was studying in the house, but they didn't know he was mending clothes.
Mu Chenze didn't want others to know that he had imported a batch of shirts with holes, so Chu Xuan and her brother helped him keep it a secret.
After dinner, Chu Xuan took ten dollars and went out.
Liu Zhaodi didn't come to work today, but she will still be given the bonus, after all, she has been working very hard.
When I arrived outside Liu Zhaodi's house, I found that the gate was locked.
The family took Mou Xing to the county hospital for a physical examination, but he hasn't returned yet.
Chu Xuan remembered that in her previous life, Liu Zhaodi’s biological mother Mou Xing was diagnosed with a tumor six months later. Could it be possible that it was diagnosed earlier in this life?
Just as she was about to return, Chu Feng ran over breathlessly, "Sister... go to the village office and answer... answer the phone. Someone's looking for you."
"who?"
"I don't know. The person who came to our house to call you didn't tell me."
"Is the door locked?"
"Locked."
"Who's going to our house to call me?"
"It was dark and I couldn't see clearly, but the voice didn't sound like someone I was familiar with."
Chu Xuan always felt that something was wrong, "Xiao Feng, let's go home first!"
Chu Feng was surprised, "Aren't you going to answer the phone?"
"Maybe someone deliberately lured you out. What if someone breaks into our house and steals our money?"
"Sister, I'll run back first, you run slowly!"
Chu Xuan knew his own limitations and couldn't run as fast as Chu Feng. "If someone really breaks into our house, don't go in and catch the thief. Go quietly and call for help. Remember that?"
"Remember! Life is the most important!"
Chu Feng ran towards home.
Chu Xuan tried his best to run back.
There is a lot of cash at home.
At this moment, we can only hope that the place where we hid the money is well hidden and the thief won’t find it so quickly.
When Chu Xuan arrived at the door of his house, Chu Feng was being chased by a thief and was shouting for help.
I didn't expect that the thieves were not the same one.
One was keeping watch while the other was picking the lock.
Chu Feng was chased because he was discovered by the person who leaked the information.
Chu Xuan hurried forward to rescue his younger brother.
Came face to face with the thief.
However, the thief was wearing a mask, so Chu Xuan couldn't see his appearance clearly.
The thief who picked the lock was also wearing a mask. When he saw that his plan was exposed, he shouted, "Retreat!"
Escape in panic.
The thief who was spreading the news wanted to retreat, but was stopped by the larger Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan was determined to keep him.
Just don't give him a chance to escape.
He got anxious and pulled out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed Chu Xuan...
Chu Xuan was too heavy to dodge immediately, so he simply gave up and kicked him in the lower body...
A black shadow appeared behind the thief. The dagger did not stab Chu Xuan, but Chu Xuan kicked the thief.
The thief's howling like a pig being slaughtered pierced the night sky, and Chu Xuan finally saw that the person who helped her was Wei Qiang.
Only after Wei Qiang subdued the bandits did Chu Xuan step forward to express his gratitude.
"Comrade Wei, thank you! Thanks for stopping by..."
While tying up the thief, Wei Qiang responded, "I wasn't just passing by. I came here specifically after receiving the news."
"The other thief got away. Do you want to chase him? I can keep an eye on this one."
"My colleagues will catch him. I'll take the thief back first. Please take your brother to the security team tomorrow to give a statement."
"No problem. Let me see who is so bold as to steal my money!"
Chu Xuan reached out and took off the thief's mask.
Chu Feng was a little scared, but he was also curious about what the thief looked like.
In the moonlight, they looked at the thief's face.
"Why is it you?"
