Chapter 188 Xu Chenggang Arrested



The next day, Xu Songyuan finalized the location.

It's located at a construction site near Heping Lane, about a 20-minute walk from the Song family's house.

Xu Songyuan then went and bought a small cart, a spatula, honeycomb briquettes, and the like.

He went to look at houses again along the way. His budget was only about ten yuan a month. After much deliberation, he chose a community next to Heping Lane. It was a small courtyard house with basic furniture.

Xu Songyuan directly paid six months' rent.

That evening, Xu Guiying and Song Xinfu went to see the house together and thought it was pretty good.

Xu Songyuan acted quickly, and within two days he had all the equipment ready. Before officially setting up his stall, he returned to Luo'an Town.

It has been five days since Xu Zhongtang was arrested.

Xu Songyuan found a teahouse to sit down, and as soon as he sat down, he heard people inside discussing Xu Zhongtang's family affairs.

Yesterday, Xu Chenggang was also taken away on charges of multiple counts of intentional injury.

"As expected, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. Xu Chenggang is a bad guy, so how good can Xu Zhongtang be?"

"I heard that the town party secretary's family won't let them get married. She's the daughter of a murderer; marrying her would be a disaster."

"Who says otherwise? The Xu family is a bunch of pests. That son of Xu Zhongtang even robbed others!"

"Oh my god, the whole family should be arrested."

The whole town was talking about it. Xu Xue lost her job and was jilted. Now, she, Sun Xiumin, and Xu Peng were all alone at home.

Xu Xue absolutely hated Xu Songyuan and his group.

Why go to such lengths to exterminate them?

Was all that father-daughter relationship over the years just a lie?!

Sun Xiumin cried all day long. Xu Chenggang and Xu Zhongtang were arrested so suddenly that they didn't even have time to pull strings.

In a short period of time, the family lost two pillars of support.

Everyone in Xingfu Village was talking about how Sun Xiumin and her friends could no longer stay there.

Xu Xue couldn't help but say, "Mom, let's go to the city too. We can't let this go like this. We have to teach Xu Songyuan and his gang a lesson!"

Sun Xiumin: "The city is so big, how are we supposed to find it?!"

Xu Xue clenched her fist and narrowed her eyes. "The police will definitely summon them again. We can just follow Xu Songyuan and the others then."

Their family was ruined by Xu Songyuan and his sister; this matter must not be easily forgotten.

Xu Peng nodded in agreement, "Mom, my sister is right! Let's go to the city, we can't stay here any longer anyway."

How big is Xingfu Village? And how big is Luoan Town?

Wherever I go, I get pointed at and talked about.

Xu Xue was furious; her perfectly good marriage had been ruined by Xu Songyuan and his family!

After returning from Luo'an Town, Xu Songyuan started setting up a stall.

There were only two or three vendors outside the construction site, selling steamed buns and wontons, but no fried rice.

On Xu Songyuan's first day setting up his stall, around 10 a.m., two passersby came by and ate there. Around 11 a.m., workers came out of the stall.

Some brought their own steamed buns and flatbreads, which they swallowed with water; others with more money in their pockets ate from street vendors.

Five or six people came to buy fried rice, and the number of people gradually increased.

The seven or eight small stools that Xu Songyuan prepared were not enough to seat everyone, so some people sat on the edge of the flower bed.

Everyone who tried it said it tasted great, and even asked Xu Songyuan why he didn't set up his stall earlier.

Xu Songyuan felt a little relieved. "From now on, I will set up my stall on time, starting at ten o'clock."

They sell until 2 p.m., then at 5 p.m. they push their carts to the night market to set up a stall.

A serving of fried rice costs 60 cents; if you add extra meat, it's about 1.2 yuan.

Chef Xu didn't get home until 10 p.m. after a busy day. He counted the money he had earned that day.

Wow, I made over forty yuan! After deducting costs, I netted sixteen yuan!

Even if he went to find a job, he would only earn twenty or thirty yuan a month.

I earned sixteen yuan today!

Xu Songyuan was all smiles, and then hurried to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow, working until 2 a.m. before finally going to sleep.

The next morning at nine o'clock, the cart was taken out, and sales officially started at ten o'clock.

In just five or six days, Xu Songyuan made a net profit of one hundred yuan.

In the past few days, Xu Songyuan has been to the police station in Min'an District twice.

Xu Zhongtang's murder is a foregone conclusion. Even if he isn't executed, he'll likely serve at least ten or twenty years in prison.

On the seventh night of setting up his stall, Xu Songyuan did not set up his stall. He had told his regular customers the night before that he had something to do that night.

I need to treat the Song family to dinner tonight. I also told Xu Guiying to invite Song Zhicheng's family, since Song Qiumin helped me a lot before!

He prepared a large table of dishes at home, and worried that there wouldn't be enough seats, so he set up a small table as well.

It just so happens to be Saturday night. Song Xiaoxiao came with Song Yun and Mo Hong, while Song Yingying came from the Qin family.

The courtyard was bustling with activity and full of people.

Xu Songyuan couldn't help but secretly wipe away his tears.

Suddenly, Xu Songyuan felt something was wrong; someone was missing.

After looking for a while, Song Anmin was not there.

Never mind, I'll bring my third nephew some food to his factory another day.

After the meal, everyone went their separate ways.

Song Yingying took a car back to the Qin family.

Grandpa and Grandma Qin were still awake, watching TV in the living room.

Song Yingying watched with them for a while, and then Grandpa Qin suddenly said that Chen Zhi's case would probably have a result soon.

That very night, when Song Yingying learned of this, she returned home and indignantly recounted it to her grandparents. Grandpa Qin patted his granddaughter's head and simply said, "Human nature is inherently evil."
