Jiang Shushu looked at Yang Xiaobei, who was panting and sweating profusely. "Xiaobei, why are you running so fast? Look how tired you are. Come in and sit down."
"Shushu, I know what happened at the State-owned Restaurant East today. I wanted to go there, but Brother Wang said you were my girlfriend, so he wouldn't let me go to avoid suspicion, lest people with bad intentions use our relationship to make trouble, which would do you no good, only harm. I went to the State-owned Restaurant East as soon as I got off work, hoping to see if there was anything I could do to help, but I found it closed, so I ran over here." Yang Xiaobei didn't want Jiang Shushu to misunderstand that he didn't care about his affairs.
"It's okay, everything's been taken care of. Since the state-owned restaurant couldn't open for the past two days, the manager gave us two days of paid leave. Overall, this can be considered a blessing in disguise."
"Don't worry, I'll have Brother Wang keep an eye on them and will definitely not let them evade the debt."
"Okay." In this day and age, if one person goes to jail, the whole family suffers. Anyone who isn't completely stupid or powerless will choose to pay the money. The Wei family has at least one worker, so if they're willing to pay, they'll definitely get the money.
Yang Xiaobei's face suddenly turned serious. "I heard you had a fight with someone with a knife. Were you hurt? You're really a tough guy. The kitchen is so small, aren't you afraid of getting chopped? Even if you're skilled, we should be prepared for the worst. After all, knives don't have eyes."
Jiang Shushu laughed, "Haha... How could I possibly rush forward? I'm not stupid, I'm quite clever. I hit the man on the head with a water cup, making him dizzy and unable to move. Then I ran up and kicked him twice. The first kick sent the knife away, and the second kick knocked him over. Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of. I value my life very much."
"It's right to cherish your life. You only have one life. When you die, you lose everything. Nothing is more important than your own safety. If you can't guarantee your own safety, don't rush out. Your job isn't police or military. If you need to take risks, it won't be your turn." If someone else risked their life for a good cause, Yang Xiaobei would sincerely praise them. But if it was someone close to him, he'd save his temper and not curse them. Yang Xiaobei clearly distinguished between those close to him and those far away.
"Yes, yes, yes, what Yang Gongan said makes sense. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Don't worry, I will strictly abide by them. My life is the most important thing."
Yang Xiaobei knew that Jiang Shushu was a promising man, so he didn't plan to say much and just stopped there.
Yang Xiaobei's nose twitched. "Are you cooking? Can you add me? I can cook."
"Okay, I couldn't ask for more. I just cooked the meal and cut the vegetables, so I'll leave the rest to you. Thank you for your hard work. I'm in for a treat tonight."
"Then just wait. I feel like my cooking skills have improved a lot recently. Even the food I cook smells delicious."
…
During the meal, Jiang Shushu praised the dishes cooked by Yang Xiaobei, which made Yang Xiaobei so happy that he said he would be the one to cook next time.
Jiang Shushu learned that Yang Xiaobei had to work overtime in the next two days, so he decided to go back to Jiangjia Village to visit and accompany Jiang He and his wife.
The next morning, Jiang Shushu returned to Jiangjia Village carrying a lot of bags.
After Jiang Shushu put his things away, he immediately said to Jiang He and his wife: "Dad, Mom, Li Chunyan died a few days ago. You don't have to worry about her. You can go out whenever you want. If you want to go to the city, you can go to the city."
Jiang He and his wife were shocked, "How did he die?"
"I don't know the details. I only have a rough idea after asking around. I heard that Li Chunyan found a partner on the farm, and then they were released early last month for some reason, and they started living together. Later, I heard it was a dispute over money. They both wanted to keep the money for themselves, and while trying to get the money, they were stabbed to death by each other. I only found out about it a while ago, and I asked someone to tell you because I was worried. I thought I would tell you after my vacation, so I put it off until today."
Jiang He was a little confused. "Robbery? They just came out of the farm, they shouldn't have much money, right?"
"I heard that they had a huge sum of money with them at the time, including gold bars, and a large stack of cash and bills. Maybe because they had so much money, they had so many ideas. Both parties may have thought that they could find a better one, and then the tragedy happened. The money is still there, but the person is gone." It is definitely one of the ten regrets in life. If the resentment is greater, I will really die with regrets.
Jiang He: "They are quite capable. They have only been out for a month and have managed to make so much money. No wonder they were released early."
"Yes, but Li Chunyan is a bit strange, or rather, well-informed. I'm not surprised that she was able to get all this money. After all, she knows about our family's affairs, so maybe she can also know about other families' affairs."
Xu Hehua was confused: What does Li Chunyan's wealth have to do with my family? My family hasn't gotten rich either!
Jiang He understood immediately, "That makes sense." Li Chunyan knew there were treasures in her own vegetable garden, so maybe she could also tell whether there were treasures buried under other people's homes.
Jiang He smiled and said, "Forget it, let's not discuss Li Chunyan anymore, lest we get upset because of her. Her affairs have nothing to do with us anyway, and it's none of our business whether she's dead or alive."
Although Xu Hehua still didn't understand, she stopped thinking about it as soon as she heard Jiang He say that. She immediately put Li Chunyan out of her mind and continued chatting with her husband and daughter.
On the other hand, the Wei family talked and quarreled a lot last night, and even fought. Finally, the next morning, the old man and his wife had no choice but to agree to divide the family property and divide the household belongings into five parts. They will live with the eldest son's family, but the other three families will have to provide for them in their old age starting next year, instead of waiting until they are 60 years old.
Although the three Wei Datong brothers were heartbroken to give away 436, they did not stop after they split up the family. After all, before they split up, they shared the same fate. If someone from the Wei family went to jail, it would not be good for the three of them.
The three brothers felt a little better when they thought that they would no longer have to deal with Wei Dajin and his family of idiots.
At noon, Zheng Dayong went to the Public Security Bureau to collect 436 yuan, and then went to find Qian Aibing and started his shopping spree.
Ever since Jiang Shushu told him that Li Chunyan was dead and Jiang He no longer had to worry, Jiang He became less cautious and dared to go out for a walk instead of staying in the village.
Jiang He first went to the next village to find someone to play chess with, and then went fishing with them. He had a wonderful time having nothing to do for half an afternoon.
On the other side, Wang Daxiong, who was lying on the hillside, was cursing and swearing at Jiang He and his wife's ancestors for 18 generations.
