Chapter 12: Shopping Spree Begins
"I am the director of the steel plant. Comrades, there must be some misunderstanding here."
"Have you arrested the wrong person?"
Zhong Ming couldn't figure out what mistake he had made. The dozen or so plainclothes officers looked menacing, making him think that he was being targeted by some thugs.
"Big brother, what do you want? You want money, right? I'll give it to you."
"Please, let me go, please let me go!"
Zhong Ming was pinned to the ground and slapped for not behaving properly.
He immediately became much more obedient.
His attitude has changed from arrogance at the beginning to begging and pleading, just to beg the other party to let him go.
"You've hidden money? Search!" The plainclothes police officer seized on the key point and gave the order. The officers scattered and began searching the house.
The house that Zhong's family had just emptied by Shen Wanjun suffered a second major blow.
The cracks in the walls, the floor, and even the ceiling were dug up and examined again and again.
The search turned out to be quite something; the police actually found some things.
The ferry ticket for fleeing to Hong Kong, the new ID card, the household registration book, and a bundle of 100,000 yuan were all found during the search.
Faced with the evidence, Zhong Ming lowered his head and stopped speaking. He had also realized that these people were not thugs, but police officers.
He could settle things with money when thugs came to his door, but he was helpless against the police.
"The family members were also taken away."
Wang Fang, who was making a scene, and Zhong Chuchu, who was still in shock, were also handcuffed with silver handcuffs.
The painful experience of eating peanuts in her past life made Zhong Chuchu's legs go weak whenever she saw the police, and she almost couldn't stand up.
The police led the Zhong family of three outside, where they happened to run into Shen Wanjun, who was shopping.
"You slut, are you up to something?" Wang Fang was like a mad dog when she saw Shen Wanjun, howling and trying to bite her.
Shen Wanjun took a few steps back, her disdain undisguised.
Wang Fang was right; it was all Shen Wanjun's doing.
The scarred man has been arrested for stealing from the Shen and Zhong families, involving a huge sum of money, and he may very well be in serious trouble.
He said he only stole half a box of "Da Zhuanzi" (a type of Chinese liquor), but nobody believed him.
The scarred man was terrified. Remembering the strange magazine in the box, he immediately said he would report it and ask the organization for leniency in order to atone for his crime.
The police followed the clues and found Zhong Ming, but because the Zhong family's old house was sealed off, they couldn't find Zhong Ming for a while.
Shen Wanjun was strolling on the street when she ran into the police.
So she very enthusiastically and very 'kindly' brought the police here.
"What happened? Aunt Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Wanjun covered her mouth, looking extremely shocked.
Neighbors also crowded over to watch the excitement.
"By the way, Aunt Wang, is your son Zhong Yaozu's injury any better? I heard he's been in the hospital for two days."
Wang Fang gritted her teeth, furious. This bitch wouldn't even spare her son.
Wang Fang wanted to swear again, but a single glance from the police officer made her wilted like an old eggplant, her face wrinkled and ugly.
Hospital.
Zhong Yaozu, his body wrapped in bandages, struggled to walk toward the toilet.
He hadn't been to the toilet for a long time; ever since he was injured there, he hadn't dared to go to the toilet easily.
It hurts, it hurts so much.
"take away."
Before Zhong Yaozu could react, he had already been taken away.
At this point, Shen Wanjun had successfully taken down the Zhong family in one fell swoop.
She slung her small bag over her shoulder and began her shopping spree.
The Zhong family's precious items are all packed up. Now she wants to buy some more things to take to the Northwest.
The environment there is harsh and the transportation is inconvenient; it's simply incomparable to Shanghai.
Especially after entering a military compound, going out wouldn't be so comfortable.
The car was parked on Shanghai's No. 1 Commercial Street, where there are four department stores offering everything from food and clothing to daily necessities.
Shen Wanjun paid the fare, humming an unknown tune as she walked briskly.
She had already made a list in her mind to buy some daily necessities first.
Considering that it's not spring yet and Shanghai is already very cold, the Northwest is probably still covered in ice and snow.
Warm clothing is essential.
Shen Wanjun picked out two military overcoats and two pairs of Warrior rubber shoes for him.
Considering there was a lot of mud and sand there, I bought two more pairs of Liberation brand rain boots.
She also bought a lot of yarn, planning to learn how to knit sweaters in her spare time.
Although Wang Fang's family had already moved quite a few daily necessities, Shen Wanjun still prepared two more sets.
He kept one set for himself and gave another set to Song Zhan.
After thinking about it, I bought more Guben soap and Shanpai soap. These two are hard currency, and I can give them to the military dependents later.
In military compounds, maintaining good neighborly relations is also very important.
Unsure whether people in the Northwest brush their teeth with coarse salt or toothpaste, Shen Wanjun simply bought 10 tubes of Zhonghua toothpaste.
I also bought some small items like sewing kits and buttons, and that completed my daily necessities shopping.
Next, I'll buy some food.
I bought several large bags of things, including Merlin luncheon meat, braised bamboo shoots, White Rabbit milk candy, and biscuits.
After buying the food, Shen Wanjun also bought some kitchen supplies, especially several packets of Buddha's Hand MSG, which is relatively scarce there and can be given as gifts.
Halfway through her shopping trip, Shen Wanjun seemed to have lost all her strength and ability.
After enjoying a hearty meal at a state-run restaurant, I leisurely began the second half of my shopping trip.
Next, I'll buy medical and hygiene supplies.
Bring along your usual anti-inflammatory medication and some cooling balm, as there are a lot of mosquitoes there in the summer.
Also grab some frostbite cream and petroleum jelly to prevent chapped skin in winter.
Shen Wanjun bought enough menstrual belts and toilet paper to last her a lifetime.
The staff behind the counter stared in disbelief. Shen Wanjun smiled faintly and said, "I'm making purchases for our factory in the Northwest. Do you have any recommendations?"
The other person said "oh" and casually recommended clam oil.
"Winter in the Northwest is dry, so skincare products won't do." Shen Wanjun readily paid the bill.
At this point, all the daily necessities have been purchased.
Shen Wanjun wandered around a few more times and bought a flashlight and batteries, a Xiangyang brand thermos, and a Hero brand fountain pen.
The first two can also be used on the train; the fountain pen is a gift for Song Zhan.
Song Zhan is not highly educated, so she plans to teach him to write properly when she has time.
Thinking of the handsome male lead, Shen Wanjun's unambitious heart stirred with a glimmer of anticipation.
It's said that gentle roses can't be grown in Northwest China, but roses are still flowers, beautiful and fragrant.
Humans can't have it all.
Men, of course, have both strengths and weaknesses. Song Zhan's biggest weakness is that he is not gentle and lacks romantic understanding.
But it doesn't matter, Shen Wanjun is confident that even the most stubborn straight men will have to obey her.
Finding a secluded spot, Shen Wanjun stored everything into her spatial storage.
The last stop was the supply and marketing cooperative.
She bought a lot of meat, rice, flour, and whole grains like beans.
After a day of shopping, Shen Wanjun wrapped a scarf around her head, took a small bag, and boarded the train to Northwest China.
She spent a lot of money to buy a hard sleeper ticket, and after finally finding her compartment, she discovered that someone was already lying in her seat.
