In 1979, there were no weekends off, and no holidays like May Day.
But there is still a National Day.
Of course, taking a vacation is other people’s business and has nothing to do with Jiang Shiyue.
Jiang Shiyue stayed in Shenzhen for the entire National Day holiday.
Chen Shanhe brought Yangyang to accompany her.
During the National Day holiday, Jiang Shiyue's only goal was to capture Sha Xiaodong.
Sha Xiaodong lost his father and mother at a young age and was raised by his grandparents. Later, his grandfather passed away and only his grandmother was left. Sha Xiaodong was only thirteen years old at that time.
As his grandmother was too old to earn enough to support the family, and Sha Xiaodong couldn't find a decent job, he gradually went astray.
Start learning to steal and rob.
If you walk on the road at night too much, you will always encounter ghosts, no, brother.
Gangsters also have divided territories. Sha Xiaodong accidentally stepped into someone else's territory, and the boss of the area had to call him for a "talk".
Most of the gangsters value loyalty and ability.
Sha Xiaodong "turned a disaster into a blessing" and hooked up with the big brother of the area, and later killed the big brother and became the big brother himself.
But with his grandmother as the "reins", Sha Xiaodong did not go too far astray.
They would certainly do things like collecting protection money, and occasionally steal or rob, but they would not touch the elderly, the weak, women, or children, and they would not touch pornography, gambling, or drugs.
The entire Shajia Village is under his protection.
Among the dozen or so households that also refused to move, there were his younger brothers.
The reason for not moving is that his grandmother is old and doesn't want to move.
However, when Sha Xiaodong was not at home, Jiang Shiyue secretly went to see Grandma Sha.
Grandma Sha said it wasn’t that she was reluctant to move.
She is an old lady who is about to die, why should she be so particular?
What's more, even after moving into the new building, the neighbors are still the same villagers. The location hasn't changed, they just moved to a new house.
Xiaodong has a new house and is also talking about his girlfriend.
When Jiang Shiyue heard this, she knew that Grandma Sha didn't know about the bad things Sha Xiaodong was doing outside, but she didn't expose it either.
Grandma Sha also told Jiang Shiyue that the one who really couldn't leave Shajia Village was Xiaodong.
He grew up here and has feelings for this place.
He also said that Sha Xiaodong is a sentimental child.
His father died when he was a child and his mother ran away.
He doesn't want to leave this place, probably because he's afraid that one day his mother might come back and not be able to find home.
This stumped Jiang Shiyue.
This is obviously not a problem that can be solved with money.
She couldn't go find a mother for Sha Xiaodong.
***
Usually, Jiang Shiyue would fall asleep crying before the end.
But that day he sighed and complained about his heavy work and refused to sleep, nor did he allow Chen Shanhe to sleep.
Chen Shanhe was so annoyed by her that he asked, "How about letting me try?"
"You?" Jiang Shiyue opened her eyes, the corners of them still slightly red, her face full of suspicion. "It's not that I look down on you, it's more that you radiate one word: 'positive', which happens to be exactly what Sha Xiaodong hates the most."
"I thought he hated the police the most."
Will catch him.
"That's right." Jiang Shiyue yawned. "Then what's your plan? To defeat him?"
Chen Shanhe didn't say anything.
Jiang Shiyue closed her eyes and opened them again, then sat up and looked at Chen Shanhe suspiciously, "Really? You really want to solve this with force? I've tried, and it didn't work."
Sha Xiaodong said he would not hit women, and no matter how Jiang Shiyue threatened or tempted him, he would not fight her.
She thought about it and shook her head, "Sha Xiaodong won't use his house as a bargaining chip in your fight."
***
While I was drowsy, the bedside phone kept ringing.
Jiang Shiyue, who had just fallen asleep in the early hours of the morning, pulled the quilt over her head in frustration, acting like an ostrich. She also didn't forget to kick Chen Shanhe, "Answer the phone."
Chen Shanhe: “…”
He reached out and picked up the receiver honestly.
The next second he sat up straight and pushed Jiang Shiyue, "Wife, something happened to Fourth Master Qiao and the others."
Jiang Shiyue was comatose for a few seconds before finally waking up. He suddenly emerged from the quilt, revealing only his furry head and bloodshot eyes. "What did you say?"
"Something happened to Mr. Qiao Si! His convoy was detained." Chen Shanhe repeated.
"Where did the accident happen?"
"Huacheng."
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
Without saying a word, he got dressed and got up.
This time it was a coincidence. Jiang Shiyue asked Mr. Qiao Si to bring back a batch of clothes for Mengmeng's mother and the others.
Her purchasing procedures must be complete, but she was caught at this time and she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had a reason.
***
Jiang Shiyue returned to Huacheng to inquire about the news, but Chen Shanhe did not follow him. He said he was going to find Sha Xiaodong.
Sha Xiaodong was surprised when he saw Chen Shanhe and said sarcastically, "Why? Are you here to stand up for your woman?"
Chen Shanhe raised his eyelids and asked, "Can you win against her?"
Sha Xiaodong: “…”
Now there is hatred.
He rubbed his thumb across his lower lip and hooked his index finger at Chen Shanhe, "Finish the fight first!"
Without saying a word, Chen Shanhe punched Sha Xiaodong's chin.
Sha Xiaodong raised his head to avoid it and kicked Chen Shanhe at the same time.
Chen Shanhe's fist fell and hit Sha Xiaodong's knee.
Sha Xiaodong retracted his feet, opened his arms to hug Chen Shanhe's head, and at the same time bent his knees to hit his chest.
Chen Shanhe turned his head to avoid it, hooked Sha Xiaodong's neck with his backhand, and raised one leg to retaliate by charging towards Sha Xiaodong.
***
Jiang Shiyue looked at Sha Xiaodong, whose face was covered in bruises, in the rearview mirror, and then looked at Chen Shanhe, who was resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat and was unharmed, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Unexpectedly, Sha Xiaodong was actually beaten into submission by Chen Shanhe.
It’s a pity that I still didn’t agree to the matter of Shajia Village.
Chen Shanhe suddenly said: "Just ask whatever you want to ask."
"Why do you want to take him to see Master Qiao Si?"
Jiang Shiyue didn't understand what this had to do with the events in Shajia Village.
Moreover, Sha Xiaodong didn't know Mr. Qiao Si at all.
"If we can't persuade him, let Fourth Master Qiao do it."
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
She looked in the rearview mirror again and roughly understood what Chen Shanhe meant.
***
Because they crossed regions, Mr. Qiao Si and his group were detained in the city detention center.
The conditions in the detention center in 1979 were extremely harsh.
Mr. Qiao Siye and his brothers were kept in separate cells.
Mr. Qiao Si was not surprised to see Jiang Shiyue, but he was surprised to see Chen Shanhe and Sha Xiaodong.
Especially Chen Shanhe.
Fourth Master Qiao took a few more glances at her and said to Jiang Shiyue, "Young lady, you have good taste!"
No wonder you look down on him.
"Of course!" Jiang Shiyue said proudly, "My man is the best man in the world!"
"What about him?" Mr. Qiao raised his chin and pointed at Sha Xiaodong, who had a bruised face and looked angry.
Mr. Qiao has seen too many people like him, and he has a lot of them under his command!
"Oh, I almost forgot. Let me introduce you to this guy named Sha Xiaodong, a young man from Shajia Village. He's a bit of a local tyrant. He refuses to let me demolish his house. I'd like you to help persuade him."
Fourth Master Qiao smiled and gestured to the shackles on his hands. "I'm a weakling now, so why would I help you persuade others? What good would that do me?"
Sha Xiaodong: “…”
"No matter how you persuade me, it won't work."
He was willing to come because he lost to Chen Shanhe.
However, this does not mean that he will compromise on the matter of Shajia Village.
