Chapter 366 What a pity
Lu Dongping took a long time to react: "Got the marriage certificate?"
Lu Chun'e nodded: "I got the certificate."
"When did you receive it? Where is Zhou Mingli?
Lu Chun'e said, "He got it a few days ago. He returned to the team early. When he came to see me a few days ago, we got the certificate, and then he left. We agreed that I would come back here during the holidays, and he would find time to come and pick me up."
Lu Dongping asked her, "Have you found a place for internship?"
Lu Chun'e nodded: "I've found it!" She is now considered a formal family member of Zhou Mingli. There is a family compound and a house there. Her internship will be arranged in a hospital near the military region. If nothing unexpected happens, she will continue to work there in the future.
Lu Dongping nodded and said, "You are not a child anymore. You should be able to handle your own affairs. Now that you have obtained the marriage certificate, you will be husband and wife. From now on, you will have to take care of everything on your own without the help of the six of you."
Lu Chun'e smiled and said, "I know."
Lu Dongping said to her again: "Zhou Mingli is not here. I will clean up the house later and you can live at home. It will be more lively with more people around." Now that they have received the certificate, they will probably go to join the army. It will only be a year or two. After that, they will be far away from each other and it will be difficult for them to see each other except during the holidays.
Lu Chun'e nodded and came down. She stood at the door and looked outside the store for a few seconds.
"Where's my sister-in-law? Isn't she on vacation yet?"
Lu Dongping said, "She went back to the compound and said she wanted to bring her child over to stay here for two days. She also has an internship, so she'll live there. She has a car there, so it's more convenient for her to go to work."
Lu Chun'e asked: "What will happen to the store here then?"
"Didn't you hire someone? Besides, we have Li Laiyu here, and her skills are pretty good. The internship is more important. The shop is ours, so it doesn't matter if we do more or less."
Lu Chun'e nodded and asked him, "How is the business in your store?"
Lu Dongping said, "It's okay. Donglin is watching over me, so I don't have to worry about anything. You know how good he is at talking. He can keep anyone who wants to buy something as long as they come to him."
“It’s the supply that’s a big problem.”
"We are too far from Guangzhou. We have to call every time to purchase goods. The goods always have problems. We can't go there ourselves every time. The train takes a long time, and the plane tickets are too expensive and the round-trip costs are too high."
He sighed and said, "I've been looking around recently, and I see a lot of shops opening up in this area." He is under a lot of pressure, but he chose this path himself, so he has to keep going no matter how much pressure he feels.
Lu Chun'e said, "Now that individuals are allowed to trade, there will definitely be more and more people doing business. Plus, the business over there was so good when it opened, there will definitely be a lot of people tempted to follow suit. No one can have too much money."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps you can try a different approach. Donglin will be watching over here, and you don't need to worry too much about the store for the time being. Then why not go to Yangcheng for a while and try to figure it out, or learn a little bit, and see if you can find a more reliable person to deliver the goods there."
"No matter what, business can only be done if we have an advantage in supply. No matter how many people come after us, they will definitely face the same problems as you, or even more than you. If we find our advantages first, we will have less pressure."
Lu Dongping nodded: "I didn't expect that you are more profound than I thought."
Lu Chun'e chuckled. "I'm saying it's a bystander's perspective. It's not that three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, but if a blind cat meets a dead mouse, what if something you didn't expect actually comes in handy?"
Lu Dongping laughed: "Yes, what you said really makes sense. Your sister-in-law also mentioned it to me, but I still need to discuss this matter with her later."
Wen Wan went back to the compound after lunch. The two of them split up, with Lu Dongping going to the Medical University to pick up Lu Chun'e, and Wen Wan going back to the compound to pick up Dandan. She wasn't alone; Xu Qingming and Li Laiyu went with her.
Xu Qingming coaxed the person and wanted to take him to the compound to meet the old lady of the Xu family. Wen Wan wanted to go back to pick up her children, so it was just right for her to have some company.
The three of them got on the bus together at the platform at the entrance of Tonghua Lane.
Wen Wan and Li Laiyu sat in one row, and Xu Qingming sat on the other side of the aisle.
Li Laiyu whispered to Wen Wan, "I'm a little nervous all of a sudden. Tell me more about your grandmother and uncle!"
Wen Wan patted her hand soothingly: "Don't worry, my aunt is the kindest person. My uncle looks a little serious, but he is also very easy to talk to. As for my grandmother, she has been looking forward to Seventh Brother taking you there!"
"Seventh Brother is now the biggest problem in our family. Finally, someone has taken over. She is so happy!"
It was a little difficult for Xu Qingming to hear what they were saying across the aisle, so he simply leaned back with his arms folded and pretended not to hear their whispers.
After talking for a while, Wen Wan felt a little stuffy in the car, so she reached out and opened the window as wide as possible, poked her head out, then quickly pulled it back, ending this dangerous action.
The wind blew in from the window. Although it was still hot, it was much better after all.
It's noon now, and there are few people on the roadside. Occasionally you can see a few people walking in a hurry.
The car sped along the asphalt road, the surrounding houses flew backwards, Wenwan squinted her eyes in comfort as the wind blew. Suddenly, she was stunned when she saw the passersby hurrying under the scorching sun outside. She reached out and pulled Li Laiyu: "Laiyu, look, I told you -"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly stood up and shouted to the driver in front of him: "Stop the car! Stop the car!"
The car was still speeding along the highway. Xu Qingming asked her in confusion, "What's going on?"
Wen Wan and Li Laiyu had already stood up, holding onto the seats and stumbling forward, shouting for the train to stop.
The driver said, "Why are you in such a hurry? The platform is right up ahead."
Wen Wan was so angry. The city’s public transportation was so annoying.
Li Laiyu briefly told Xu Qingming, "It's said that the female educated youth who went to work in the countryside with Lu Dongping disappeared. She might have been involved with human traffickers and was let off last time. I just saw her again."
Xu Qingming roughly understood what was going on. He walked up to the driver and was about to speak when the car suddenly braked and arrived at the station.
The three people almost lost their balance and ran down as soon as the car door opened.
A woman in her fifties or sixties ran forward in a panic, her bag slung over her shoulder, shouting "Xiaobao, Xiaobao!"
Right there on the platform, in just a short while, she was waiting for the bus with the child in her hands, chatting with the people next to her. When she stopped talking, she realized that her hands were empty and the child she had been holding was gone.
Someone said that she saw it running towards this side, so she hurried over to look for it, but she didn't even see a shadow.
Wen Wan looked at her and didn't dare to delay. She pointed and said, "Someone is carrying the child and running over there. Hurry up and call the police and find the police." After that, she ran forward.
When she practiced dancing before, she always exercised slowly. She has never been so eager.
Even so, she still couldn't outrun Li Lai Yu. It felt like she was just a shadow, and disappeared in a flash.
After chasing for a while, not only Li Lai Yu disappeared, but Zhang Yun, whom she had seen before, was also nowhere to be seen.
The empty road, nothing.
Li Lai Yu didn't see where the woman went.
There was no one at the end of the road, but there were forks on the side, more than one, and she turned into one without thinking.
This area is considered one of the poorer parts of the capital. While the residents of these large courtyards are all locals, many have multiple families living in one courtyard. There are also two- and three-story buildings, but they're no different from the one-story courtyards, with each door and each household cluttered and messy.
It was noon and the place was bustling with activity. Passing through the alley, one could see the patched backs of sheets hanging out to dry, the large shorts of men and women, and hear the loud cursing of women and the crying of children.
She would not suspect that Wen Wan was dazzled.
Because she also saw the woman holding the child.
I just don't know if he hid in this area.
This area of alleys is crisscrossed and connected in all directions. It is easy to hide someone, but it is very difficult to find someone.
I didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to come to me.
In that narrow and secluded corner, a hand reached out and suddenly pulled, and the rough big hand covered her mouth.
After Zhang Yun and the man ran away from Tonghua Lane, they never dared to stay in a guesthouse again. Firstly, it was too expensive, and most importantly, their letter of introduction had expired, so they could not stay there.
So they pretended to be an ordinary couple looking for their relatives and found a place to stay in the tube-shaped building.
I've stayed here for so long that I can't stay here any longer. I'm planning to leave in the next two days and look for targets somewhere else for the time being.
But after coming here for so long, it would be unprofitable and unwilling to go back empty-handed, so I thought about seeing if I could take some goods with me.
So, when they were ready to leave, the two of them went to the platform.
This area is densely populated with people who are all working class. There are people waiting for the bus at the platform outside every day.
Having spotted his target, the man pretended to be looking for his relatives and asked for directions, and Zhang Yun took the opportunity to take the child away.
Who knew that he would be so unlucky that he was discovered just after he succeeded.
Fortunately, the location they chose had a complex terrain. There was a residential area on the roadside, and the alleys inside were interconnected. The two of them had already checked the road and agreed on a meeting place.
However, their good luck ended when Zhang Yun had bad intentions towards Wen Wan and took the initiative to approach her.
Not only was he discovered right after he succeeded, but he was also chased into an alley like a dog and couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard he tried.
The man panicked and became malicious, planning to take action.
He covered Li Lai Yu's mouth with his hand and dragged him into the damp and dark passage.
He had put medicine on his hands, and anyone who smelled it would lose consciousness.
It's a pity that there are two people chasing after her. They might call the police. We can't stay here for long. It's a pity for such a beautiful girl.
