Chapter 103 Let’s play big!
Shi Xiaoai's confusion was actually due to her overthinking.
At this time, Shi Xiaomei was completely confused.
After Shi Daxi was taken to the police station, she gave away her sister within five minutes.
In his words, he was working for Shi Xiaomei, and everything was planned and arranged by Shi Xiaomei.
He, his wife, and all the relatives from his hometown who came to help today were deceived by Shi Xiaomei!
At this time, Shi Daxi hated his sister to the core!
He suddenly remembered what his wife had said to Xiaomei before.
My wife said that she was a troublemaker. She was so young but full of evil intentions. She was always thinking about how to frame others.
If you are with her, you will easily be harmed by her if you don't have a hundred tricks in your head.
When Sun Yueying said these words, Shi Daxi didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a small conflict between an aunt and a sister-in-law. But when he was pulled onto the tricycle by the police, his mind kept repeating these words of his wife!
He recalled why he was expelled, why his parents were sent down to the county town, and why his grandmother was detained by the police station...
Shi Xiaomei’s instigation was indispensable behind every single one of these incidents!
But unfortunately, their whole family suffered because of this, but she was fine!
Shi Daxi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. As soon as he arrived at the police station, he confessed everything without even waiting for the police to interrogate him.
Of course, the issues he confessed to were definitely ones that cleared himself of all charges.
Shi Xiaomei received a summons from the police station while she was at work, and was then taken out of the factory by the police while being pointed at and prodded by everyone in the factory.
She had no mental preparation at all before this.
She tried hard to remain calm, but her mind was still in turmoil.
She didn't really hate Shi Daxi, mainly because she didn't have much trust in this brother in the first place.
She knew that even though they were born of the same mother, their relationship was actually one of exploitation and being exploited.
If anything really happens, Shi Daxi will be the first person to step forward and take the blame.
Shi Xiaomei never had any hope for this brother.
The reason why she was willing to cooperate with the couple was that she had no choice but to do so. She couldn't find anyone else suitable.
Her original intention was just to make do with it for the time being and earn her first pot of gold first.
Then it depends on the situation.
According to the trajectory of her previous life, her brother is not far from being sent to jail for gambling.
If the cooperation is pleasant, she will of course help. If not... it will be easy to get out then.
But Shi Xiaomei never expected that all her plans would end in failure. She completely forgot that the times now were different from those in her previous life!
In her previous life, Shi Xiaomei started her small business after Shi Daxixi was imprisoned. At that time, she was indeed forced to make a living.
At that time, her brother had just been imprisoned, and her sister-in-law Sun Yueying made a big fuss at home.
Together with her brother from her mother's side, she not only forced her brother to sign the divorce certificate, but also came to the house and took away all the valuables.
That’s not all. They also had a fight with their father who tried to stop them, smashed the house into pieces, and even made their father so angry that he had to be hospitalized.
The incident caused a big stir at the time, and because of the bad impact, Shi Xiaomei soon received a notice of dismissal from the chemical plant.
But her mother, Zhao Cuihong, not only could not help at this time, but also hindered her.
Every day she cried and made a fuss at home, asking her to save her brother and use her connections to find someone.
Seeing that Xiaomei couldn't rely on Zhao Cuihong, she had to find a way out on her own. At that time, anyone could easily cheat money from her.
And her father Shi Yunpeng is still in the hospital...
Shi Xiaomei started her business by selling flatbread wrapped in pickles at the train station with a basket when her family was on the verge of poverty.
At that time, she was still dating her ex-husband Li Youquan.
When she was in the most difficult time, it was Li Youquan who helped her find the manager of the grain store and got her a batch of negotiated grain, which allowed her to slowly build up her business.
But these things happened too long ago for Shi Xiaomei now, so long ago that she almost forgot the specific time.
After her rebirth, she only thought about how to start over and how to make her first pot of gold as soon as possible, but she forgot that she actually started her business two years later, in 1982.
Don't underestimate these two years, the changes in these two years are enormous.
Although the policy was not completely relaxed two years later, at least a small gap was opened, allowing some people to start individual businesses.
At least self-employed individuals no longer have to hide and will not be caught!
Shi Xiaomei narrowed her eyes, thought hard, and finally remembered——
The country's first business license for individual businesses was issued in December 1980.
And now, it’s only April!
Her head was buzzing, and she felt so frustrated and regretful that she couldn't express it in words.
She knew that this time, the competition between her and Shi Xiaoai was once again a one-step shortcoming, and she lost completely.
The tent of Shi’s snack shop disappeared overnight.
The next day, when Xiao Ai and his friends set up their stall, the road across the street had become clean. Not only were there no tents left, but even the traces of the tents had been cleared away.
It was as if it had always been like this, and nothing had ever happened.
There was a big commotion there yesterday. Even if the residents around didn't see it, they must have heard about it, so there were a lot of people coming to watch the fun this morning.
And when they discovered that the snack shop had completely disappeared, their inextinguishable gossip hearts prompted them to find a place to talk.
So the tea stall became the only choice.
That day, Cheng Lin had no chance to set up a stall in front of the school. The three of them, plus Cheng Kai, were busy like spinning tops, spinning non-stop.
Even though Shi Xiaoai had prepared for the situation that would arise today and brought twice as much food as usual, there were still so many people coming.
The braised pork rice was sold out before midnight, and there was little left of other items.
Their income once again hit a new high.
Just when they were so tired that they could hardly lift their hands, the lights in the tent suddenly lit up.
The four of them were stunned at the same time, and then Cheng Kai was the first to cheer.
"The phone is ringing! The phone is ringing!"
The customers who were eating at the tables outside were also happy to see the lights turned on after being dark for several days.
Then everyone's topic naturally turned to the collapsed Shi family snack shop.
"Well, arresting those people is really not a bad thing. Shi Daxi was a bit unkind at that time. Business is business, and stabbing people in the back is wrong. How can you cut off someone's electricity just to improve your own business?"
"Oh, when I was little, the electricity in my house was cut off by the people across the street? I didn't know that before!"
"That was when they were little. We were kind people and didn't tell anyone about it. But there's no such thing as a wall that's impenetrable. Every neighbor knows about it! Besides, they were just arrested yesterday, and now they're calling us today, aren't they?"
"Indeed. Hey, did you hear about it? Daxi confessed that the snack bar wasn't his, it belonged to his sister, and he was just working for her."
"Who would believe that? That shop has been open for how many days? Have you ever seen his sister come here? He's really cowardly, trying to put the blame on his own family!"
"It's hard to say. I heard his sister was also arrested yesterday and hasn't been released yet! If she really had nothing to do with it, the police wouldn't have arrested her, right?"
Cheng Lin had long hated that family, but when he heard the guests talking about them again, his legs suddenly stopped hurting and he no longer felt tired. He stood aside happily listening and didn't even do his work.
Wang Xiaofeng was both angry and amused when she saw him like that.
I went over and poked him, then asked, "What are you doing? Why don't you help move the empty table into the house so we don't have to move it again when we get back later."
Cheng Lin then realized that the phone had come in and he could continue business in the evening.
Then they don’t have to stay at the stall in the afternoon and can finally go home and rest for a while.
After he figured it out, he was overjoyed. He agreed and prepared to go to work.
At this moment, Wang Xiaofeng, who had just come over to call him, stood still.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Lin was a little surprised.
Wang Xiaofeng stared blankly at the direction behind him and asked softly, "Look at that group of people, are they coming towards us?"
Cheng Lin quickly turned around to look, and was shocked!
I saw a group of people just walking out of the hospital across the street. They were all dressed warmly, each wearing a scarf, a hat, and a big mask!
It's April now, and the weather has already warmed up. Especially now, around 1:30 in the afternoon, the warmest time of the day, it seems a bit strange to be dressed like this.
But the strangest thing is not just this.
There were eight people dressed like this, all of them were young and strong men over 1.8 meters tall, and each of them was big and strong.
They were in groups of four, each carrying a stretcher.
It was too far away to see clearly who was lying on the stretcher, but it was clear that the person was wrapped more tightly than them.
Even his head and face were covered by a big coat. Not a single hair could be seen from the outside, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
"Who are those people? What do they do?"
"I don't know, why do I feel a chill in my heart when I see this?"
"Me too, it looks a bit creepy."
These people's actions obviously disturbed everyone, and the people who were eating put down their chopsticks and stopped eating.
Everyone stretched their necks to stare at the group of people. They were confused, but did not dare to speak loudly.
The main reason is that those strong men look too scary, and their attire is also frightening.
At this moment, a young woman in navy blue coarse work clothes chased out from the hospital.
She was holding two net bags in her hands. One contained many packages of Chinese medicine, and the other contained a newly bought ceramic pot, which was probably used to boil Chinese medicine.
There was a cloth bag hanging around her neck, which was bulging. Judging from the few pieces of paper sticking out, they seemed to be various examination reports from the hospital.
She also wore a hat, a mask, and even a pair of particularly eye-catching yellow rubber gloves.
"She's wearing the gloves that doctors use for surgery in hospitals, right?" someone asked quietly.
"Oh, I hadn't noticed until you told me. Look, those people are wearing gloves too! They're all thick work gloves!"
"Oh my God! Who are they carrying?"
As they were talking, some people were so frightened that they jumped up from the table, not even bothering to eat, and hid in the tea stall.
Fortunately, that group of people seemed to understand everyone's mentality very well. When they walked past the tea stall, they deliberately moved to the middle of the road, not even touching the curb of the sidewalk, and stayed away from everyone.
That’s not all. They seemed to be afraid that people would be scared when they saw them, so they quickened their pace and almost trotted over.
Shi Xiaoai, Wang Xiaofeng and others just watched this group of strange people walk away.
But after a while, a customer exclaimed: "Oh, they entered Yunhe Lane!"
This sentence was like a bomb, and the onlookers were instantly shocked!
Anyway, those people had gone far away, and everyone was fearless now. They all turned into Sherlock Holmes, analyzing those people so much that they wanted to discuss everything they wore, held, and used.
In the end, everyone basically agreed that the two people lying on the stretchers were either dead and were to be taken home for a funeral and then sent to their hometown for burial;
Or they may have contracted some infectious disease and knew that it could not be cured in the hospital, so they simply went home and waited to die.
Anyway, no matter which one it is, it is not a good thing and it is bad luck to encounter it.
"Whose company is this? Do you know? I don't have any impression of it."
"I don't know. I've never seen them. Why, they're all so tightly covered up that even if you knew them, you wouldn't be able to tell who's who!"
"They've already entered Yunhe Lane. They're always from that lane. Oh my God, I don't know which household they belong to. If they were a single-family home, it would be fine, but they can't be from a large compound, right? If they're sent to a large compound, how will the other families survive?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right? That's too mean! It's not letting others live their lives!"
While everyone was discussing, Wang Xiaofeng approached Xiao Ai and asked hesitantly, "Sister, do you recognize who those people are?"
Shi Xiaoai shook her head: "I didn't recognize him."
Wang Xiaofeng paused, then continued, "Why do I feel...that woman seems to be Yang Hui? She and Yang Hui are about the same height. And the white hat she's wearing is the same hat they wear when they work in the textile factory."
In fact, when those people came over, Shi Xiaoai had already recognized Yang Hui.
It's just that she and Yang Hui were not familiar with each other, and the girl was wearing a wrinkled coarse cloth work suit that was several sizes too big. She looked sloppy, which was a bit inconsistent with her impression of Yang Hui.
For a moment she was a little unsure.
After Wang Xiaofeng's reminder, Shi Xiaoai was sure that the person was Yang Hui!
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she suddenly realized what the girl was planning by causing this trouble.
Without waiting for her to speak, Wang Xiaofeng figured it out herself.
She said, "It must be Yang Hui. She's dressed differently today, probably because she's afraid of getting her clothes dirty. But what is she doing today? Who is that person on the stretcher? I haven't heard that she has any relatives in the city."
Having said that, Wang Xiaofeng suddenly opened his mouth wide and looked straight towards the direction of Courtyard No. 1.
After a while, he exclaimed, "Those two people, could they be the relatives she mentioned yesterday who would be living in Courtyard No. 1?!"
