Chapter 164 A True Nouveau Riche
The crowd parted quickly, and Qin Suisui saw a somewhat plump middle-aged woman carrying an old plastic bucket rushing over. Seeing Bai Shu lying on the ground like a screaming chicken, she immediately poured the bucket over his head.
As the evening breeze blew, a faint smell of urine instantly filled the air.
Everyone pinched their noses.
Only Bai Shu, lying on the ground, stopped screaming and froze completely.
Realizing what had been splashed on her, she immediately scrambled to her feet, reeking of urine and charging at the middle-aged woman like a madwoman: "Pee? Zhao Moli, you actually threw urine at me! I'll fight you to the death!"
The middle-aged woman, Zhao Moli, proudly addressed the crowd, "See! It works, doesn't it! This boy's urine is really effective! He can talk now!"
Those in the crowd who had realized what was happening burst out laughing: "Jasmine, have you been saving up all of your grandson's pee?"
Zhao Moli waved her hand: "How could that be? That's not enough! All the pee from my lazy boys last night is here! I told that brat Donglin to throw it away this morning, but he forgot. Luckily he didn't, or we wouldn't be able to save anyone!"
As soon as she said that, Qin Suisui realized that this person must be Chi Donglin's mother.
She had heard Pei Jiuyan and the others say that Chi Donglin had two older brothers who were already married and had children.
The family compound in Beijing is an old-style compound. Although each family has a toilet, they are mostly dry toilets located outside the compound. So, families with children would prepare a chamber pot at night. If a child woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to urinate, they would urinate directly into the chamber pot and then empty it the next morning.
Sometimes the men in the family are lazy and will urinate directly in the chamber pot, so Zhao Moli meant that this must be the urine of all the men in their family last night.
Everyone laughed upon hearing Zhao Moli's words, except for Bai Shu, who went mad.
She was a member of the performing arts troupe, and even though she is now too old to perform on stage, she still holds a respectable position within the troupe.
She was known in the family compound for her love of beauty. Although she wasn't particularly good-looking, her alluring figure had her husband, Hao Bing, completely captivated.
She doesn't do much housework normally, so how could she possibly be involved in these kinds of bodily functions?
As a result, he was pissed all over by that fat bastard Zhao Moli, and it was the urine of those stinky men in her family!
The strength that had been drained from her body by Liu Qianyun returned, and she chased after Zhao Moli, throwing a tantrum and yelling, "Zhao Moli! You fat slut! I'll fight you to the death!"
Zhao Moli was just a bit plump, not exactly fat. She was the head chef of the largest state-owned restaurant in Beijing, wielding a large wok and spatula every day, and her strength was greater than that of a man.
When Bai Shu screamed and ran up to her, she slapped her face with her large, fan-like hand.
With a sharp "pop," like a firecracker going off during Chinese New Year, the whole audience was shocked.
After slapping her, Zhao Moli noticed the urine on her hands and felt a bit disgusted. She wanted to wipe it off on Bai Shu, but there was even more urine on her. So, she could only mutter curses as she walked into the Hao family's courtyard, grabbed a towel that was drying in the yard, and continued to mutter curses while wiping her hands.
"Bai Shu, you really don't appreciate kindness. You've gone mad, and I kindly helped you treat your illness, but you repay kindness with enmity! You two are truly alike; your daughter is just like you."
Qin Suisui listened from the side and couldn't help but laugh. This Aunt Zhao was avenging Brother Donglin!
Bai Shu looked at the snow-white towel in Zhao Moli's hand, now stained with a streak from Zhao Moli's touch, and immediately screamed, "Ahhhh! Zhao Moli! Stop! That's my brand new 414 towel!"
Zhao Moli paused in wiping her hands, looked at the towel in her hand, then at the screaming Bai Shu, and, annoyed, shoved the urine-soaked towel into Bai Shu's mouth, saying impatiently, "Scream, scream, all you do all day is scream. Go scream on your husband's bed. Nobody here will pity you."
After saying that, she ignored Bai Shu and instead spoke to Qin Suisui, saying, "This must be Suisui, right? I was in a hurry when I went to Qiongtan Island last time and didn't see you. You look like a good girl, so pretty! Be careful on the road in the future, don't let some old witch bully you."
"I stewed pork knuckle for lunch today. I'll have your brother Donglin bring you a bowl later. Don't be shy, your brother Donglin has eaten plenty of yours."
"I haven't turned off the stove yet, I'm off!"
After saying that, he picked up the chamber pot and ran off in a hurry.
News travels fast in the family compound. Although the Hao family kept it a secret, bad news spreads the fastest. Everyone knew about the absurd marriage between the Hao family's daughter and the Chi family's youngest son. Everyone could see that Zhao Moli had done it on purpose, but who could say anything to her? After all, it was the Hao family's daughter who had cheated on someone else's son first.
These days, people still have a strong sense of morality.
Liu Qianyun was tired after her performance, but she also felt relieved. She took Qin Suisui's hand and led her home: "Come on, let's go back. Next time some blind dog barks at you on the street, Mom will beat it up!"
Qin Suisui smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mom!"
Being protected like this warmed Qin Suisui's heart.
Halfway there, Liu Qianyun suddenly slapped her thigh: "Oh no! I still have some ribbonfish stewing on the stove! It's probably all dried up by now!" She had only planned to come out and vent her anger, but she didn't expect to cause such a big scene.
Liu Qianyun ran home as fast as she could. Fortunately, Pei Huoshan had already returned and taken the stewed ribbonfish off the stove in advance. There was a pot of hot water warming on the stove.
Liu Qianyun rarely praised him, saying, "You're doing well, Lao Pei. You've finally done something decent."
Pei Huoshan glanced at his son and daughter-in-law, wanting to maintain the dignity of an old father in front of the younger generation, but also afraid of offending his wife, whose fighting spirit he had witnessed when he returned.
So he coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Ayan, how are you all doing today?" He was asking about the black market for gambling stones.
Pei Jiuyan simply nodded slightly, without saying a word.
Liu Qianyun also remembered, and she hurriedly asked Qin Suisui, "Suisui, how was the harvest today?"
Qin Suisui smiled, her eyes crinkling, and made a "9" gesture with her hand, her voice cheerful: "I found nine big pieces! I'll cut them up after dinner!" She found a total of nine good pieces, but to avoid suspicion, she also took three scrap pieces.
However, it was clear that their previous guesses were wrong. This Liu Jianye was probably not as good at judging stones as they had imagined, otherwise he would have aroused suspicion long ago.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. We're all just ordinary people with eyes that can see clearly, and we can only guess based on the characteristics of the stone and our experience, unlike her who has a space where she can cheat.
As the family was preparing to eat, Chi Donglin indeed brought over a large bowl of braised pork knuckle. As soon as he entered the door, he walked familiarly to the dining table, muttering, "It smells so good! What delicious food did Aunt Liu make? Let me have a bite!"
He and Pei Jiuyan have been close since childhood, and coming to the Pei family is like coming to his second home.
Liu Qianyun smiled as she accepted the braised pork knuckle he brought: "You really brought a pork knuckle? We're having braised ribbonfish today. Go to the kitchen and get your own bowls and chopsticks, and take some back with you."
Chi Donglin didn't stand on ceremony. He ran into the kitchen, grabbed a bowl and chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of food, put them in his bowl, and even popped one into his mouth. As he ate, he walked out, saying, "Delicious! Aunt Liu, I'm leaving now. My mom's coming to beat me up soon!"
As she reached the door, she reminded Pei Jiuyan and Qin Suisui, "Sister, Jiuyan, hurry up and eat, don't forget later!"
Liu Qianyun looked at them: "Don't forget what?"
Qin Suisui smiled and placed a piece of ribbonfish on her plate: "We made an appointment with Brother Donglin and Brother Yunlai to go open the stone together after dinner."
Liu Qianyun nodded: "Okay! Then you guys eat quickly, I'll put Zanzan to sleep in a bit."
Qin Suisui never expected that Pei Jiuyan and his group's secret base was a semi-abandoned air-raid shelter.
It was a little past six o'clock, and the sky was gradually darkening. The dark and cramped little cave entrance in front of her looked like a tomb, which made Qin Suisui a little scared.
Suddenly, a light flashed out from inside, and something pitch black crawled out. Qin Suisui didn't see it clearly and instinctively wanted to scream, hiding behind Pei Jiuyan. In her life, there weren't many things she feared, but ghosts were one of them!
Pei Jiuyan chuckled and put his arm around her: "Don't be afraid, that's Yunlai."
Qin Suisui was stunned for a moment, and the next second, she heard Song Yunlai's familiar voice calling out to the two of them: "Sister, Ayan, what are you standing there for? We've been waiting for you for ages!"
Qin Suisui's wildly beating heart finally calmed down. She asked, somewhat annoyed, "Brother Yunlai, what are you doing? Why are you in this state?"
"Huh?" Song Yunlai was puzzled for a moment, then touched his face and scratched his head awkwardly: "Hehe, this abandoned air-raid shelter is connected to the boiler room. We used to play here a lot when we were kids. I just had a brief reminiscing about our childhood with Donglin."
Is this a nostalgic trip down memory lane? Or did he just roll around in a coal pile?
However, Qin Suisui did not expose them, because at this moment, they were all thinking about the same important thing: opening the stone!
That night, Qin Suisui's dagger sliced through 18 stones!
Finally, Qin Suisui unearthed a 10-kilogram top-grade imperial green jadeite, three 5-pound pieces of high-ice yang green jadeite, two pieces of violet jadeite, two pieces of blood jadeite, and one piece of yellow jadeite.
Chi Donglin unearthed a piece of high-quality icy green jade, a piece of purple jade whose quality was slightly inferior to violet, and a piece of black jade.
Song Yunlai was a bit luckier, as he unearthed two pieces of high-quality icy green jade and one piece of yellow jade.
"Hahahaha! We've struck it rich!" They were content with just this.
Everyone thinks that although things are strict now, things will get better eventually. When they bring these things out again, they'll look like nouveau riche!
Qin Suisui was also happy. Although she was not short of money, who wouldn't like to have more money?
Even in her dreams at night, she dreamt that she was sleeping on a huge, hard bed of imperial green jade. She couldn't help but touch the warm, smooth texture of the imperial green jade, and her mouth watered.
Pei Jiuyan, who was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, suddenly opened his eyes with a suffocating feeling of sleep paralysis. He found that his wife, whom he had been holding in his arms while sleeping, had somehow ended up on top of him, and his autumn pajamas were also pulled up, with what appeared to be a little drool on her belly...
The next morning, when Qin Suisui got up, Pei Jiuyan had already left for work.
Liu Qianyun started work a little later. She had just returned from the cafeteria with two bowls of soy milk and three meat buns, which were breakfast for Qin Suisui and Zanzan.
As soon as she got home, she saw Qin Suisui washing up in the bathroom. She quickly sneaked over, glanced outside, and said with a gloating smile, "Suisui, did you know? That bitch Bai Shu got reported!"
Qin Suisui paused while brushing her teeth: "You were reported?"
Liu Qianyun nodded, her schadenfreude growing even more pronounced: "I wonder which kind-hearted person did this. It was that watch she was wearing yesterday, a Japanese product, and someone reported her for being a foreign worshipper and a hedonist! Tell me, isn't that a kind-hearted person..."
She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, exchanged a glance with Qin Suisui, and the two of them suddenly had the same answer in their hearts.
