"Or is the captain interested in that woman?"
“Pah—”
As soon as Jiang Dawang uttered the last sentence, he was slapped in the face by the captain.
"Look at what your Jiang family has done to you."
"How can you arrange things about your elders like this?"
"Get out of here now, don't wait for me to punish you."
Jiang Dawang is a typical bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. After being slapped and scolded by the team leader, he dared not do anything else.
He could only leave the brigade commune with a dissatisfied look on his face.
However, just as he came out of the brigade community, Fatty Hu, who was also here to do business at the commune, stopped Jiang Dawang.
Jiang Dawang was so angry that he immediately yelled, "Get lost and don't mess with me."
Fatty Hu, who was about the same age as Jiang Dawang's father Jiang Dajiang, was not afraid of Jiang Dawang's angry look. Instead, he smiled and said:
"Don't you want to know why your mother came here? The captain didn't tell me, but I was there when your mother was doing it just now, and I heard it."
Hearing this, Jiang Dawang's expression became better, and then he lowered his voice and asked, "What did she come here for?"
Fatty Hu wasn't stopping here and telling him the news out of sheer kindness.
He was seen rubbing his thumb and index finger in front of Jiang Dawang.
Seeing this, Jiang Dawang rolled his eyes and said, "You can say it or not, I have plenty of ways to find out about that woman."
After saying this, Jiang Dawang prepared to leave.
Fatty Hu: "By the time you find out, your mother will have passed away."
"Gone? Where is she going?" Jiang Dawang stopped and turned back to ask.
Fatty Hu rubbed his fingers again.
Jiang Dawang had no choice but to take out a dime from his pocket and hand it over.
Fatty Hu took the money and said, "This news is worth at least three or five dollars. Since you asked, I'll give you a discount. I'll tell you the news for three dollars."
"Why don't you go and rob it?" Jiang Dawang shouted angrily.
Fatty Hu: "You get what you pay for. You paid three dollars for this information, and it's worth it. Think about it, the police officer who came with her today is from Wuyang County."
"Guess what your mother is coming here for?"
"What's the matter?" Jiang Dawang asked.
Fatty Hu: "Three dollars, I'll tell you."
Jiang Dawang replied unhappily: "I owe you the money for now. I don't have that much money on me right now. Tell me the news first and I'll give you the money later."
Hearing this, Fatty Hu was not stupid. Everyone knew that the news had been spread, and no one could do anything to him if he didn't give him the money. Only when he got the money would it be his.
"When I passed by your house this morning, I heard that your wife was pregnant, and your grandmother gave you three dollars to exchange for some eggs and meat."
"You haven't changed the money yet?"
There was no other way. In order to get the news, Jiang Dawang had to take out the money and handed three bills to Fatty Hu. Fatty Hu then spoke with satisfaction.
"Your mother came here to get a letter of introduction. She seemed to say she was going to Hai City."
"Go to Haishi!!!" Jiang Dawang was shocked, "Are you sure you heard it right?"
Fatty Hu: "I was right there, how could I have heard it wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Dawang ran away and disappeared.
"Grandma, grandma, something bad has happened." Jiang Dawang ran back in a hurry to complain.
"What's the matter with you being so impatient?" Jiang Zhenzhu was picking beans in the yard. When she saw her grandson coming back in a daze, she gave him a cold look.
"That woman just came back from the brigade and got a letter of introduction, saying that she was going to Hai City." Jiang Dawang said.
"Who?" Jiang Zhenzhu looked confused.
"Qiao Xiuyun." Jiang Dawang replied.
When the name was spoken, the winnowing basket in Jiang Zhenzhu's hand fell to the ground, and the soybeans were scattered all over the floor.
"You said Qiao Xiuyun went back to the brigade to get a letter of introduction to go to Hai City? Why is she going to Hai City?"
Jiang Dawang shook his head.
At this moment, a pregnant woman came out of Jiang Dajiang's room and said:
"I heard from Dajiang before that his niece went to Hai City to study with the army? Is it possible that she went to join her?"
Jiang Dawang: "You mean she's going to seek refuge with Qiao Xiazhi? But that money-loser hasn't had any contact with my family since she got married."
Tian Xiaoqin sneered: "Having no contact with you doesn't mean having no contact with that woman."
At this point, Tian Xiaoqin looked at Jiang Dawang and asked, "Where are the eggs and pork I asked you to exchange this morning?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Dawang looked at Tian Xiaoqin and then at his grandmother, and said, "Just now when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, I met that woman who went to the brigade commune."
"Then I followed to see what was going on, and when I got there the woman was already preparing to leave."
"I spent money to find out what that woman was doing here."
