After Zhou Zhixin opened the tin foil sealing the cigarette, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Daniu, and put the rest back into his pocket.
"Uncle Daniu, you see, I have something urgent to do! Can I listen to you when I'm free?" After offering the cigarette, Zhou Zhixin didn't want to listen to Zhou Daniu's nonsense, and refused Zhou Daniu's request to talk with a difficult look on his face.
"Haha, Zhixin, your cigarettes are really good." Zhou Daniu didn't get angry when he saw that Zhou Zhixin didn't want to pay attention to him. Dahongying cigarettes are not cheap! 25 cents a pack. A pack of 20 cigarettes, this one in his hand is worth more than a cent!
Zhou Daniu stood firmly in front of Zhou Zhixin's bicycle. He pulled out a crumpled box of matches from his worn-out pocket, lit a cigarette, took a long drag, and then said, "Zhixin, is this bicycle of yours new?"
The bicycle Zhou Zhixin was riding was the one Zhao Yunxiang bought a few days ago. It was almost brand new, with a shiny black paint and not a single scratch on it.
"Yes! My Yunxiang bought it for me." Zhou Zhixin felt that Zhou Daniu's question was a bit strange, but he still answered him patiently.
"Zhixin, have you ever thought about where your wife got the money to buy the bicycle?" Zhou Daniu moved closer, a lewd smile on his face.
"Where did it come from? I earned it!" Zhou Zhixin felt that Zhou Daniu's words were becoming increasingly baffling. Yunxiang had made a lot of money making fish balls these days, more than enough to buy a bicycle.
"Hehehe... earned money? Indeed earned money." Zhou Daniu let out a strange laugh, which made Zhou Zhixin shudder.
"Uncle Daniu, let's talk when we have time. I really have something to do." Zhou Zhixin was eager to get rid of Zhou Daniu as soon as possible. He turned the handlebars of the bicycle and rushed past Zhou Daniu.
"Hey, hey, hey... I haven't finished yet! Why are you running?" Zhou Daniu grabbed the back seat of Zhou Zhixin's bicycle.
Zhou Zhixin felt the car sink and he fell out of the car.
"Uncle Daniu, this is wrong. I have something to do. Why do you keep pestering me?" Zhou Zhixin was angry. His face was stern and there was no trace of a smile on his face.
Zhou Daniu felt an amazing aura from Zhou Zhixin, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, but loosened his hands.
Zhou Zhixin pushed hard and the bicycle rushed out. This time Zhou Daniu did not dare to stop him.
He muttered, "You're so ungrateful! Your hat's even changed color, and you still don't deserve a kind reminder."
Zhou Zhixin's back stiffened, and he wanted to turn the car around and beat up Zhou Daniu. This old bachelor was so wicked, and his mouth was full of shit.
The hat on her head changed color? Isn't that a hint that Yunxiang is cheating on her?
Thinking of his old mother lying in bed at home, Zhou Zhixin suppressed the urge to turn around and hit someone, and rode his bicycle away.
Zhou Daniu looked at Zhou Zhixin's back, his face full of regret. He was still thinking about getting some money from Zhou Zhixin! He didn't expect this guy to be so impatient.
Forget it, judging by Zhou Zhixin's behavior, he probably won't be returning to the army so soon. In a few days, Zhou Daniu just needs to let Zhou Zhixin know about the matter, and he won't have to worry about him not coming to him with money.
Zhou Daniu made up his mind and walked happily towards Widow He's house with his hands behind his back.
Widow He's home is at the west end of the village, a bit remote.
Seeing that the gate to Widow He's yard was open, Zhou Daniu walked in without saying a word.
Widow He has a bad reputation. Several old bachelors in nearby villages have dealings with her. Zhou Daniu is also Widow He's lover and has long known all the rules of Widow He.
When the gate of Widow He's house is opened, it means that there is no one else in the house and everyone can come in.
Zhou Daniu didn't expect that he had such good luck today. First, he asked Zhou Zhixin for a cigarette, and then Widow He happened to be out of the toilet.
Zhou Daniu walked lightly towards the main room, just about to lift the curtain to enter. To be honest, Zhou Daniu had not been to Widow He's house since he fell in love with Qiuxiang three months ago. It had been so long that he was almost suffocating.
There were voices coming from the room, which made Zhou Daniu stop his hand.
"Aunt, if you help me run this errand, I won't treat you unfairly." A young woman's voice.
Aunt? Widow He's niece is here? Zhou Daniu turned and went into the utility room next door, planning to play with Widow He after the young woman left. It wasn't easy for him to come to Widow He's house, and he didn't want to make a wasted trip.
Besides, the mention of Hongming in the young woman's words excited Zhou Daniu. There was only one person named Hongming in Zhoujia Village, and that was the village chief, Zhou Hongming.
Zhou Daniu had been hating Zhou Hongming these days, and when he heard that the woman was looking for Zhou Hongming, Zhou Daniu's mind started to move.
Zhou Hongming was a pervert, but he had the glittering image of "village chief" to hide from others, unlike himself. Whenever Zhou Daniu recalled Zhou Hongming's tone and attitude when he spoke to him a few days ago, his anger would surge.
A few days ago, Zhou Hongming called Zhou Daniu to answer and said that he asked his wife Li Cuilian to ask Qiuxiang's opinion. Qiuxiang disagreed, and he had no choice.
Zhou Daniu was very angry at the time and threatened Zhou Hongming to tell everyone about the last time he caught her having an affair. Zhou Hongming sneered and said, "Go ahead and tell everyone. I'll tell everyone that I caught you having an affair with a woman and see who the villagers believe."
Zhou Daniu was filled with regret. Why hadn't he thought of asking Zhou Hongming to write a confession or self-criticism? Now that the incident was over, Zhou Daniu had no evidence in his hands. It would be strange for Zhou Hongming to bow to him.
Hearing the young woman mention Zhou Hongming, Zhou Daniu immediately became concerned. This time, if he knew that Zhou Hongming had any unknown secrets, he would definitely not let that little bastard go.
Zhou Daniu thought with gritted teeth.
Widow He's house was large, with the main house and the west wing comprising six rooms. There were only a few people in the family, and Widow He was the only one there these years. Her daughter had married and moved away, so she couldn't return home once a year.
The rooms in Widow He's house were separated by wooden boards. Even though Zhou Daniu was in the utility room, he could hear the conversation between the young woman in the main room and Widow He.
"Then tell me how can you treat me without being unfair?" Widow He was not an ordinary person. She would not be tempted by the big promises made by a young woman. She directly asked the young woman what compensation she could give.
This old woman is obsessed with money, what a piece of shit! The young woman cursed inwardly, but smiled and said, "Auntie, don't you know what kind of person I am? I haven't treated you unfairly over the years, have I?"
