After nearly an hour, the three of them finally moved all the goods to the entrance of the building.
Ye Beiping put down the last box, took a breath, took out twenty yuan from his pocket and gave it to Jiang He, saying, "Take Master out for dinner, I can take care of the rest myself."
"Okay... but..." Jiang He pointed to the pile of boxes in front of him, remembering his brother's instructions, and asked with some concern, "Are you sure you can manage on your own?"
"No problem, I'll rest here for a while and continue moving when you come back." He wasn't that stupid to move all by himself. Fifty big boxes, and he, Ye Beiping, didn't have that kind of strength to carry them upstairs by himself.
"Alright." Jiang He nodded, then led the driver to dinner, glancing back every few steps.
Ye Beiping glanced at Jiang He's retreating figure, chuckled while resting his hands on his knees, and muttered, "Silly boy, you think I'll run away? You can't outsmart me with your brains."
"Who can we beat?"
Suddenly, an old voice came from behind.
Ye Beiping was startled. He turned around and saw that it was Grandma Qiu. He then patted his chest and said, "Grandma Qiu, it's you! You scared me!"
Looking at the boxes in front of her, Grandma Qiu glanced at them a few more times and asked, "Did you bring all the goods back? How much is there? Why so much?"
She used to go downstairs for a walk around this time, and she could chat with the neighbors. But Grandma Qiu's temper gradually made her less sociable, so she would only walk around twice a day before going back to listen to the radio and rest early.
I never expected to run into Ye Beiping when I went downstairs today, and there were so many cardboard boxes blocking my way.
Ye Beiping didn't hide anything from Grandma Qiu, and after catching his breath, he laughed and said, "Not a thousand pairs."
hiss!
Upon hearing this, Grandma Qiu gasped. In her eyes, a pair of leather shoes cost tens of yuan, and a thousand pairs would cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Where did this kid get so much money?
They've only been gone a few days and they've already brought back tens of thousands of yuan worth of goods.
Ye Beiping then remembered Su Xinyi, looked up at his window and asked, "Grandma Qiu, has Xinyi had dinner yet?"
"snort."
Grandma Qiu rolled her eyes at Ye Beiping and snorted, "You still remember your wife? She ran off with someone else a long time ago."
They ran away?
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping knew that Grandma Qiu was definitely joking, so he chuckled and said, "I've been busy these past few days and haven't even called Xinyi. How has she been these past few days?"
"Good? Good my ass." Grandma Qiu's face immediately changed, and she began to attack Ye Beiping: "I already told you she ran off with someone else."
"Really?" Ye Beiping stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Su Xinyi isn't that kind of person. I've only been gone for a few days, how could she have run off with someone else?
Although it wasn't uncommon for wives to run off with other men in this era, Ye Beiping never expected it to happen to him.
He looked at Grandma Qiu again uncertainly, his brows furrowed, his eyes sharp as knives, trying to see if she was lying.
Your wife ran off with someone else; this is not something to joke about.
When Grandma Qiu said her first sentence, Ye Beiping was still able to remain calm, after all, she was an elder, and it was fine to just joke around.
But when he said the second sentence, he became noticeably more serious, and Ye Beiping then revealed a frightening expression.
Grandma Qiu found this appearance utterly unremarkable and stared directly into Ye Beiping's eyes.
Just kidding, she's climbed through piles of corpses before, how could she be afraid of this hot-tempered brat in front of her?
The two stared at each other for a long time. Grandma Qiu originally thought that Ye Beiping neglected his family and wanted to teach him a lesson, but now she realized that she had probably spoken too harshly. She said somewhat embarrassedly, "Xinyi ran away with her parents. It seems that she said she was going to find someone."
call!
Hearing this, Ye Beiping finally calmed down.
I ran away with my parents. Does that count as running away?
This old lady in front of him was really something; sometimes he really wanted to crack open her skull to see what was inside.
Ye Beiping had that thought, but right now the most important thing was to care about Su Xinyi, so he asked, "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"
His concern stemmed from her pregnancy and her going out to meet people.
"Who are they looking for?" Grandma Qiu thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "They didn't say specifically, but it seems to be related to her brother. Did you know that her brother was arrested?"
When this was mentioned, Grandma Qiu looked at Ye Beiping with a hint of gossip, hoping to get some information from him.
These days, people with nothing better to do than listen to gossip—it's always something like which widow has a man in her house, or which kid has been locked up.
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping was stunned, his brows furrowing: "Her brother? Su Ze has been arrested?"
"You didn't know?" Grandma Qiu said in surprise, then murmured in disappointment, "That's right, you've been in Wencheng for so many days and haven't contacted Xinyi at all, how would you know?"
As she was talking, she seemed to remember something, and her eyes lit up.
"By the way, it seems her brother is involved in that smuggling case in the newspaper."
Now Ye Beiping understood the whole story.
He knew that Su Ze was involved in smuggling.
I never expected to get arrested and even make the newspapers.
The fact that it made the newspapers indicates that the case was significant, especially since it involved smuggling. Therefore, the fact that Su Xinyi was taken by her parents to find someone she could connect with is likely because they were looking for someone.
Ye Beiping had only a vague understanding of Su Xinyi's family and had no idea who to contact.
However, there was some good news: Su Xinyi was taken away by her parents, which put Ye Beiping at ease.
Even if Min Yuehua is a scoundrel, she can't possibly harm her own daughter, can she?
