Zhou Dayong heard two voices from outside, so he didn't doubt it. He squatted at the door and listened to the chewing sound, swallowing his saliva.
He had been squatting here for so long and was already hungry, but he couldn't leave. It would be bad if they came out and caused trouble if he left. He stayed at the door opposite Zhou Qiaoqiao's house and saw the lights go off in the house. He waited for a while and only went home when he saw no one came out.
The streets were deserted at night. Apart from a few old men and women who were still resting outside in the cool air, there was no one else. Wei Wenjie took Tian Xiaolan and Li Weimin to Bao Gaoyuan's house.
They couldn't force their way in, so they spread out and watched his house. There was no sound in the house, so the man probably hadn't arrived yet.
There were no lights on the road. Not long after, Li Weimin lay in the middle of the road, talking nonsense, as if he was drunk. He was wearing a straw hat and a large white mask on his face. He looked back as he walked, and circled around here several times. After making sure that no one was following him, he cautiously walked to Bao Gaoyuan's door and knocked on it three times with his hands.
"Come in!" The door opened soon. Bao Gaoyuan had been waiting anxiously at the door. He was not sure whether he would come. If he did not have his phone in his hand, he would not be able to contact him.
The visitor said to him impatiently, "Why did you call me here? You have so many eyes staring at you, you have no brains! Are you talking nonsense?"
The man learned from others that he had been arrested. Fortunately, he got out safely. In the afternoon, Bao Gaoyuan called him and said that he must come to see him, otherwise he would tell them his phone number so that he could make meritorious service while serving his sentence. He ignored his friend's advice and came to see why Bao Gaoyuan was not afraid of going to jail and wanted to report him.
"I'm a little short on money lately, so don't blame me if I accidentally let something slip out because I'm starving!"
"Didn't I just give you some money a few days ago, and you spent it all?!" There was unconcealable surprise in his tone.
He takes the money and either goes to play cards or plays cards. When he runs out of money, he comes to him. He is not an ATM. Do you really think he is a sucker?
He had observed him for a long time and realized that he would sell everything for money. If he hadn't asked Bao Gaoyuan to pay off his debts, would he still be able to stand and talk to him now? He paid off Bao Gaoyuan's debts and let him go to work. He didn't say anything when he asked him to get information out of him, but eight out of ten times he was wrong. How could he still have the nerve to ask him for money?
Bao Gaoyuan looked at him calmly: "It's all spent, just tell me whether you want to give it to me or not."
The little he gave was not enough to fill his stomach, and now that something like this has happened, he will definitely take the opportunity to ask for more.
"After you get the money, don't tell me you know me, and don't contact me anymore!" The man took out a wad of money from his pocket and put it in his hand.
Bao Gaoyuan smiled slyly when he got the money: "How could I not recognize you? You are my God of Wealth!"
"If you want to eat peanuts, go tell them!" The man was betting that he didn't dare.
In fact, it was exactly as he thought. Bao Gaoyuan was afraid in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on the surface, "I'm just a messenger, you can afford it!"
He had never seen the man's face, and he was always fully armed when they met. It was obvious that he was not a good person. Bao Gaoyuan also knew what he was doing to help them. He liked that now he could just attend a few classes and get some information and then he could make hundreds of dollars. Why should he give in?
"Okay, I'm not afraid either. Go ahead and tell him, tell him now!" The man was obviously cornered and his loud voice disturbed the old man in the house.
Grandma saw that it was still dark outside. She also remembered that she had just fallen asleep, so why was there so much noise outside? "Gao Yuan! Who are you talking to?"
"It's my friend."
The mother-in-law came out to see if it was the boy who gave her money today. Not long after he left, she lit the fire and cooked, and then she dusted off and found that there was an extra dollar in her bag. It was empty before the boy came, so it was the one he gave her.
When I went out, I saw that the man was short and fat, and he hid his face tightly at night. He didn't look like a good person. "You've been here for so long and you didn't even bring me a stool to sit on. How can you stand it?"
"Mom, don't bother us and go to bed." Bao Gaoyuan was a little unhappy. He hadn't finished talking to the man yet, and she came out without any tact to stop him from talking about important matters.
"If there's anything an old woman like me can't hear, I have to tell someone else!" The more Bao Gaoyuan talked to her, the more her feet seemed to be rooted there, not moving at all.
Even if the mother-in-law promised not to tell, Bao Gaoyuan and her husband would not tell. This matter is safest only if God, the earth, and you know it.
Men think that Bao Gaoyuan has this attitude towards his own mother, so it’s no wonder he can’t make a fortune.
The man refused and left: "No, I'll leave right away!"
My mother-in-law advised, "Play for a while longer. Did my Gao Yuan say something unpleasant that made you uncomfortable?"
The man's two small eyes were looking at the door, as if he was worried about something. It was definitely not one of those bad friends she had seen. He covered his face because he felt uncomfortable, or he kept his head down in such hot weather that his hair became smelly and gave off a foul odor.
Bao Gaoyuan pulled him and said stubbornly, "Why are you leaving before you even finish what you're saying?"
The man tried to break free but was held captive, unable to move an inch. "Let go, or you won't get a penny next time!"
If he were to meet with him for too long and be discovered, he would be finished!
Bao Gaoyuan looked at the fat man's chubby hands and suddenly thought of someone, but he couldn't believe it. He should be sleeping at the head of the room now, so it definitely wasn't him, and why did he look so weak?
"Money? What money?" How could she not know? In the dim moonlight, Bao Gaoyuan had a stack of things in his hand. She originally thought it was a brick.
Bao Gaoyuan saw that she knew and didn't hide it anymore. "He borrowed money from me a few months ago. He was the one who sent me the money."
"Is this the reason you haven't brought money home in the past few months? Is he telling the truth?" The mother-in-law no longer believed Bao Gaoyuan. She knew him too well. How could he have any extra money to lend to others? It was good enough that he didn't borrow from others.
"Is that so?" Bao Gaoyuan pushed his hand inward with force. The man under him felt a sharp pain in his hand and nodded in agreement.
The mother-in-law saw that her son looked like the bully. As long as her son was not bullied, she went back to bed and said, "If you have something to say, tell me quickly. Then go to bed quickly. It's getting dark!"
"Okay, go to bed now!"
When the man saw her leaving, he just wanted to call her for help, but his son covered his mask with one hand to prevent him from making any sound.
After everyone left, Bao Gaoyuan let go. The man turned around and pulled his mask open a little to quickly take a few breaths of fresh air. "What on earth are you going to do?"
