Chapter 137 Mingkun Kidnaps Bai Xue
Gu Yiye has lived in Xiaoxiang since he was a child, and even when he served in the army, he was in Jiangcheng, which is very close to Xiaoxiang.
The flavors there are stronger, mainly spicy, while the flavors here in Haishi are milder and a little sweet.
When Lin Shanshan ordered the food, she specifically ordered a dish of chopped chili peppers for Gu Yiye to mix with the vegetables.
Lin Shanshan took a bite of the yellow croaker and said, "Brother Gu, after the wheat ripened last time, my space is now much larger. I planted Wuchang rice in the first batch, and it matured in five minutes and was harvested with one click. Now I planted wheat, and I'm waiting for it to mature normally."
"In the future, the school will be able to supply enough rice, steamed buns and noodles through space."
Gu Yiye took Lin Shanshan's bowl, ladled a bowl of soup for her, and nodded, saying, "Shanshan is so thoughtful. She has both rice and noodles, which can cater to students from both the north and south."
Lin Shanshan took the bowl, took a sip of soup, and then said, "Of course, I'm Gu Yiye's little wife, how could I not be smart?"
"There's still plenty of meat in the left-hand space, so we don't need to raise animals for now. However, we can grow some fruit trees. We can arrange for students to have some fruit during their first class in the afternoon to supplement their vitamins."
Gu Yiye said, "I want to go to school now, the conditions are so good."
Lin Shanshan knew he was joking. Gu Yiye's dream was to shine in the army like his grandfather and third uncle.
Just as Lin Shanshan finished paying the bill and was about to leave for home.
[Why did the female lead pay the bill? Anyone who's married knows. What good married man has money on him? He hands it all over to his wife!]
Just then, a familiar voice rang out: "Mingkun, considering you worked for my husband for several years, I've already shown the utmost mercy by not calling the police when you embezzled public funds. How dare you still ask me for money?"
The man named Mingkun pleaded, "Chairman Bai, please, lend me some more money. The Hang Seng Index is about to rise, and I'm sure I can turn things around this time."
[Don't argue, I've done my research. Hong Kong had a stock market and the term "chairman" existed in the 1970s. Mingkun was from Shanghai and came to Hong Kong to work. He worked at Bai Xue's husband's company, but was fired for embezzling company funds through stock trading.]
Bai Xue grew increasingly impatient and scolded, "You're truly incorrigible. Stocks are a matter of making and losing money. No one cares if you play with spare cash, but you embezzled public funds to gamble. Look at yourself now, like a stray dog. This is all your own fault."
Mingkun failed to borrow the money, and Bai Xue touched on his sore spot. Coupled with his bloodlust from losing money in the stock market, he disregarded whether it was a public place and yelled: "You filthy bitch who lives off a man, so what if you married a good husband? I'm telling you, if you don't give me the money today, I'll kill you."
After saying that, he took out a dagger and held it to Bai Xue's neck, saying viciously, "Give me the money, or I'll stab you in the back!"
This restaurant is notoriously expensive, and very few diners come to eat here. They would have run away long ago if they saw someone wielding a knife and committing violence.
The waiter was trembling with fear; in the 1970s, there were no cell phones to call the police at any time. This restaurant didn't even have a telephone.
Pak Suet was a woman who had experienced many ups and downs. To say nothing of anything else, the fact that she went to Hong Kong Island alone in the 1950s shows that she had extraordinary courage.
She didn't show any particular fear, except that her legs trembled slightly as a natural reaction. She pinched her thigh hard to force herself to calm down.
