Chapter 5: Dealing with losses
Chu Feng nodded vigorously. Not only did he not blame Chu Xuan, but he also looked surprised. "I will definitely keep it a secret. It's better to separate them! We won't have to get beaten again in the future. How did that Brother Long get it?"
"I'll tell you later."
Chu Xuan put her hand on his face.
"Hiss..." Chu Feng's face hurt badly.
I used to be beaten by Feng Chunhua often, so I always had anti-swelling medicine on hand.
Chu Xuan found a bottle of medicine from the luggage in the house and handed it to Chu Feng, "Apply some medicine, it will heal quickly. I'm going to the county town now. You chop the fish into three portions. One portion is for tonight, one portion is for the village chief's family, and the remaining portion with the fish head is pickled. Oh, and the portion for the village chief's family must be the Spanish mackerel tail."
It's both a favor and a way to nourish my brother.
Chu Feng took the medicine bottle and said positively, "Don't worry! Sister, I promise to complete it! And I can also make sure to clean the kitchen of the old house and the two rooms that can be lived in."
Chu Xuan was silent for a moment, coughing twice to cover up his embarrassment, "Can you clean up the toilet as well?"
I thought my younger brother would refuse, but he agreed immediately. "No problem! By the way, sister, should we pickle the octopus we caught or eat it tonight?"
"It's up to you to decide."
Chu Xuan patted his shoulder with relief, went into the house, found a set of clean clothes from his luggage and put them on, put the mask and gold ingots in his trouser pockets, put on a straw hat, and walked out quickly.
Just after walking about ten meters, a few villagers who came to watch the fun came over from a distance.
Among them was Aunt Hua, who greeted them warmly, "Chu Xuan, I heard you and your sister found a king mackerel? Can I take a look?"
Chu Xuan gestured for invitation, "Feel free to look around. My brother is in the yard preparing fish. I have to go out first."
After chatting for a while, Aunt Hua and her group happily headed towards the Chu family's old house...
Chu Xuan went straight to find the village chief Wang Depin.
These days, the village is building an office building, and tractors are working in two shifts to go to the county town to transport bricks.
"Grandpa Wang, I want to go to the county town with the village tractor, is that okay?"
He didn't mention that his younger brother would come over to deliver some fresh mackerel fillets later.
Because she knew that even if she didn't mention it, Grandpa Wang would agree.
In her previous life, Grandpa Wang often reminded her to discipline Chu Feng personally and not let Feng Chunhua take care of him all the time.
Unfortunately, she didn't listen.
In this life, she must discipline her younger brother well.
The village chief agreed without hesitation, "Of course, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me."
As for contacting Tian Xiaoyun, he planned to wait until they actually got in touch before mentioning it to Chu Xuan.
Half an hour later, Chu Xuan got on a tractor heading to the county town. Coincidentally, the tractor driver was Mu Chenze.
If you miss this tractor, you'll have to wait until six o'clock tomorrow morning.
The night is long and dreams are many, not to mention that night is more suitable for private gold recycling transactions.
Mu Chenze can not only drive a boat, but also drive a tractor. When he is not going out to sea, he will help the village drive a tractor to earn some money.
While Mu Chenze was unloading bricks, he heard that Chu Xuan and her brother had picked up a king mackerel while going to the sea.
I also heard that Chu Xuan and his sister were separated because of debt.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, he quietly ran to the door of the Chu family's old house, wanting to help take the king mackerel to the county town to sell it. If he could make more money, the life of the brother and sister would be better.
Unexpectedly, he heard words like "gold ingots" and "go to the county town and ask a private individual to sell it."
In order to avoid being discovered by the siblings, he left quietly.
Originally, it was another tractor driver who was supposed to go to the county town.
Mu Chenze volunteered to go in his place, saying that he had urgent matters to attend to in the county town, and promised to share the money he earned with him. Anyone would be willing to do this.
At this moment, Chu Xuan was sitting in the truck bed behind him. The rumbling noise of the tractor was quite loud, making it not suitable for chatting.
Mu Chenze didn't say anything.
When we arrived at the center of the county town, it was completely dark.
Only after the tractor stopped did Mu Chenze turn around and look at Chu Xuan.
"I'll wait for you here in an hour."
Her voice was as pleasant as ever, and her tone was very gentle, like the gurgling of a spring, without any anger at having her first kiss taken away and being rejected in marriage.
Chu Xuan said with gratitude, "Thank you!"
Move down slowly.
She wanted to jump, but she was too fat and it would be easy to sprain her ankle or hurt her knees if she jumped.
Mu Chenze waited patiently for her to stand firmly before driving the tractor away.
Chu Xuan chose to walk in alleys with few people. She remembered the address of the private gold recycling company.
She had come here with Chu Zhi in her previous life.
About ten minutes later, Chu Xuan, wearing a mask, stood in front of a remote courtyard and knocked on the door.
Soon, someone came and opened the door.
This way of talking through the door, both parties cannot see each other, and they are just doing business, not being friends.
Chu Xuan deliberately lowered her voice and changed it to a man's voice.
"Come and sell gold."
The person inside the door responded quietly, "Hand it over."
Chu Xuan was not afraid that they would not admit their mistake. After all, they had successfully made a deal in their previous life.
Selling gold ingots went very smoothly, and I made more than a hundred yuan more than in my previous life.
The total amount received was 2,350 yuan.
Chu Xuan was initially puzzled as to why she could get so much more, but she soon understood. In her previous life, Chu Zhi had come with her, and it was Chu Zhi who had handed in the gold ingots, so it was very likely that he had taken the opportunity to snatch a small piece of gold.
Chu Xuan walked around a few alleys and made sure that no one was following him before taking off his mask and walking towards the agreed place with Mu Chenze, thinking about how to talk to the village chief about building a house when he returned.
After all, he will ask where the money comes from.
It is true that gold trading is allowed in this era, but Chu Xuan is afraid of getting into trouble and cannot tell the truth.
After all, I heard in my previous life that someone went to a gold recycling center to sell gold dug out from a cave, and was arrested because of the source of the gold.
It is better to have less trouble than more.
Suddenly I thought of my biological mother Tian Xiaoyun.
Tian Xiaoyun once came back to visit her and her younger brother, but at that time they were severely brainwashed by Feng Chunhua and directly refused to see her. In the end, she left in tears.
Now that she thinks about it, her mother might have had some difficulties in leaving her and her younger brother.
Later, her mother sent her money several times, which she used to subsidize the Chu family.
The first time my biological mother sent money to me in my previous life was during these two days.
Maybe you can get the money out on the pretext that your mother sent it to you.
Chu Xuan was in an extremely good mood. When she arrived at the agreed location, she did not see Mu Chenze and the tractor, so she waited patiently.
The department store and the supply and marketing cooperative have closed, so buying daily necessities will have to wait until tomorrow.
Fortunately, not long after, Mu Chenze drove over in a tractor.
After stopping, Mu Chenze's mouth curled up slightly. The fat man looked very happy. It seemed that the gold ingots had been sold.
Chu Xuan tried to climb onto the truck bed, but unfortunately it was much more difficult than when he came here because the truck bed was full of red bricks.
She had to climb to the top.
Mu Chenze sighed softly, "Chu Xuan, are you sure you still want to ride in the truck? Aren't you afraid of cracking the red bricks?"
Chu Xuan’s first reaction was that Mu Chenze disliked her for being too fat and didn’t want to take her back.
"Mu Chenze, what do you mean?"
If he dared to refuse the ride, she really wouldn't do anything to him. After all, she owed him a lot in her previous life, and she even took his first kiss in this life.
No matter what, she is always in the wrong.
