Chapter 88: Not Related at All
Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze ran towards the courtyard gate almost at the same time, with Chu Feng following closely behind them.
When I got outside the courtyard, I didn't see anyone else.
Mu Chenze jokingly said, "Did you hear it wrong?"
Chu Xuan was convinced that she had heard correctly, "Absolutely not. I wonder how much that person heard just now."
If word gets out about Mu Chenze giving Chu Feng a watch...
Mu Chenze disagreed. "Even if he spreads rumors, it doesn't matter. As long as Xiaofeng insists that it was you who bought the watch, it's fine. As for the fact that I helped you sell grilled fish fillets, many people know about it, so there's no need to worry about it. But... if the fact that Liu Dapeng likes you gets out..."
Chu Feng suddenly said, "Could it be that the thief who picked the lock was not caught and ran back to stake out the place?"
"Probably not." Chu Xuan looked at Mu Chenze, "Please stay here with Xiao Feng for a while. I'll go to the village office to ask if the other thief has been caught."
The security team will definitely inform the village chief, Grandpa Wang, about this matter.
He tried to walk out but was stopped by Mu Chenze.
"You and Xiaofeng wait at home. Lock the gate and I'll go ask."
Without waiting for Chu Xuan's response, he ran out.
Chu Xuan couldn't stop him and had to do as Mu Chenze said.
Chu Feng and she were not idle. They packed more than 60 men's shirts in a bundle and put them on the cart.
Before Mu Chenze arrived at the village office, he saw someone hurried over with a flashlight.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Gao Meijuan and Wang Depin.
Upon asking, I found out that the two thieves had been taken away by the security team, and they were planning to go to Chu Xuan's house to express their condolences.
Mu Chenze deduced that the person eavesdropping at the door was most likely a villager.
If rumors about him and Chu Xuan spread tomorrow, we should be able to find the person by following the clues.
Mu Chenze and Wang Depin and his wife went to Chu Xuan's house together.
After knocking on the door, Mu Chenze saw a large bundle on the cart. He immediately understood what was inside and without stopping, he pulled the cart away.
Wang Depin and his wife naturally showed concern and comfort to Chu Xuan and her brother.
Chu Xuan took the opportunity to discuss with Wang Depin that when approving residential land in the future, they should try to approve it near her home.
Wang Depin agreed without hesitation and promised to choose a family that he could get along with.
Gao Meijuan glanced at the kitchen, where there were still over 500 kilograms of grilled fish fillets. She estimated that they should be sold out in the next few days, so she didn't say anything more...
At five o'clock the next morning, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Xuan's plan to sleep in was instantly shattered.
"Who is it? Knocking on the door so early in the morning?"
Chu Xuan was puzzled, but still got up and opened the door.
Feng Shuai's embarrassed voice came from outside the door, "Sorry to bother you guys! I heard you were running low on grilled fish fillets, and I was worried they'd sell out if I came too late, so I came early."
Chu Xuan opened the door and asked, "Who told you that?"
I saw Feng Shuai carrying two baskets in his hands and a backpack on his back.
Feng Shuai chuckled and said, "Hua Daling."
"How did you meet her?"
"I went to her house last night to inquire about something. I asked her casually. She said that your grilled fish fillets will definitely sell out in the next two days."
"When you went to Hua Daling's house, didn't you visit Feng Chunhua's house as well?"
"I'm not going! First, weigh two hundred pounds of grilled fish fillets. Master Qi will drive the carriage over to take them away later. Here's the payment. Count it out."
Feng Shuai handed Chu Xuan a stack of money.
Chu Xuan took it and counted it, three hundred and twenty yuan.
Put it in your pocket.
I scooped half a basin of water, washed my hands and dried them, then started weighing the grilled fish fillets.
"Feng Shuai, the baskets and backpacks you brought may not be enough."
"I know. Actually, I'd already been to Liu Zhaodi's house before I came, but her door was locked. Could you lend me a couple of baskets or a large backpack? Oh, and before I came, I went to see Qin Xuehong. Her condition wasn't good, and she was rushed to the emergency room again. She was eventually saved, but the doctor said her chances of waking up are slim."
After hearing the news he wanted to know, Chu Xuan became much more generous. "No problem. I'll give you a large backpack and a piece of white cloth to wrap the grilled fish fillet for free."
Feng Shuai knew what Chu Xuan wanted to hear. On the matter of Qin Xuehong, they both stood on the same page. "That's great! Thank you!"
Chu Xuan waved his hand, indicating that you’re welcome.
Soon, 200 kilograms of grilled fish fillets were weighed, wrapped in white cloth, and put into two baskets and a backpack.
Just then, Uncle Qi drove a carriage and stopped outside the door, and Chu Xuan helped to move things into the carriage.
After watching them leave, Chu Xuan lost his sleepiness and simply made some Chinese medicine, lit a fire and cooked breakfast.
I planned to drink some Chinese medicine after dinner, then follow the village tractor to the town security team to give a statement. Then I'd take a bus to the county town to buy some supplies and check if my two sets of sportswear were ready. As for the Chinese medicine, it wouldn't be too late to pack it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I still have some at home.
I came back in the afternoon and still had time to go fishing.
At around 7:30 in the morning, Chu Xuan and her brother took some money and went out, each carrying a backpack.
Go to the village entrance to ride a tractor.
It just so happened that it was Liu Dapeng again.
This time he did not stop on his own initiative, but he slowed down.
Chu Xuan ran after him for a few steps, "Liu Dapeng, could you please give me and my brother a ride to town? We'll pay for the ride."
She did not deliberately distance herself from Liu Dapeng just because Mu Chenze guessed that Liu Dapeng liked her. They continued to get along as usual.
Liu Dapeng then stepped on the brakes, looking a little embarrassed. "You two can sit in the car. There's no fare."
Chu Feng politely said thank you and climbed into the truck bed.
Liu Dapeng replied, "You're welcome."
No more words.
Chu Xuan took some effort to climb up.
If he doesn’t want the fare, then don’t give it. Chu Xuan didn’t insist on giving it to him. After all, she would bring gifts to thank him in person, and they would thank him together then.
They didn't speak again along the way.
At around eight o'clock, Chu Xuan and her brother walked out of the security team and had already finished taking their statements.
After further investigation, we learned that Zhang Dong and a man named Xie San were colluding in committing the crime.
Chu Xuan's house was their first stop.
I originally planned to steal from Chu Xuan’s house and then from Mu Chenze’s house.
Unexpectedly, he died at Chu Xuan's doorstep.
The reason they chose Chu Xuan's house was because Zhang Dong knew that Chu Xuan made a lot of money selling grilled fish fillets, and they had a feud before.
However, Chu Xuan did not see her savior Wei Qiang today. She heard that he was out working.
Chu Xuan and his sister went straight to the credit union to deposit money.
Chu Xuan had previously deposited 500 yuan in a county bank, and this time he deposited 2,000 yuan in a credit union in town.
In this way, Chu Xuan and his sister still have more than 4,000 yuan in cash in their hands, and they need to settle 1,200 yuan for the fish with Ji Ping.
There is also Mu Chenze's dividend, at least more than 700 yuan. The specific amount will have to wait until the family sells more than 300 kilograms of grilled fish fillets tomorrow.
After buying enough supplies for half a month, I should still have about 2,000 yuan in cash left.
In such a short period of time, Chu Xuan was able to save several thousand yuan, excluding medical treatment, physical conditioning and daily expenses. He was very content.
With the addition of that valuable amber, Chu Xuan felt very confident.
The two remaining adobe houses in the house must be demolished and rebuilt, but not now, at least not until after October.
At that time, the grilled fish fillet workshop was closed, and it was a good time to build a house...
At around noon, Chu Xuan and her brother returned home, each carrying two full baskets of things.
There is a roast chicken in the backpack, and there are white flour buns at home. I will cook a pot of vegetable and egg dumpling soup later, which will be a good lunch.
Chu Feng is responsible for cooking the dumpling soup.
Chu Xuan sorted the things in the backpack.
After lunch, Chu Xuan took the money and walked towards Ji Ping's house. She knew that Ji Ping would come back early today.
As soon as I walked to the door of Ji Ping's house, I saw a woman standing in the yard with her back to Chu Xuan.
Isn't it the right time to come?
Why does this back look familiar?
It’s grand and beautiful!
Shouldn't she be in the hospital? Why is she here?
Chu Xuan tried hard to think about the information about Ji Ping and Sheng Damei in her past life and this life.
No results found.
In her memory, these two people have nothing in common!
There will be another update at 12 noon
