"It's other people's business to do what they do. We have to protect our own three-quarter acre of land so that we don't let the facts and words fall into place. Do you still need me to tell you such a simple truth? I have never seen anyone more stupid than you.
Mother-in-law."
Li Li was originally a person who wanted to fight for three points despite being ignored, but after being lectured by her husband, her temper got worse.
"I don't understand the truth? Am I stupid? Lao Ling, you think you are very smart, don't you? If you were really smart, then Chuanzi would earn thousands. What about you? You earn a shitty amount of money, and you still rely on others' charity for your talent.
After taking a sip of soup, you still have the nerve to tell me, you are like a crow sitting on a pig's back, only seeing the darkness of others!"
The neighbors are all right next to each other, and if someone makes any movement, the people around them can hear it.
"Li, did you quarrel with your old Ling again?"
In the afternoon, Sister Taozi, who was good friends with Li Li, came to Ling's house with a small basket of red plums. As soon as she entered the house, she started teasing Li Li with gossip.
When her husband Li Li is mentioned, she gets angry, "Don't mention him."
"Oh, why are you so angry? Your Lao Ling is already good enough. He doesn't drink or play cards. He doesn't go out to fool around. Every penny he earns goes back home. Just be content."
Li Li felt a little better after hearing Sister Taozi enumerate her husband's advantages.
"Taozi, sit down and I'll get you some water."
"Don't worry, you can take this and pack it up. I have to take the basket back with me for grocery shopping tomorrow."
Li Li loves plums the most. She took the basket from the other party with a delighted smile on her face, "Ah, these plums are really good, big, red and fresh. Where did they come from?"
"Xiaojun's grandfather picked it from the countryside. I thought you liked it, so I brought some for you."
"Oh, thanks."
"You're welcome, it's not a rare thing."
Li Li poured the plums into the dustpan, grabbed another handful, washed them, and took them into the main room to share with Sister Taozi.
While eating plums, the two of them chatted about everyday things.
"Li, I heard that your old Ling has made a lot of money?"
Li Li thought that Sister Taozi was here to borrow money, so she immediately waved her hand, "As for my Lao Ling, how can he make much money? He is just a part-time worker. The only ones who really make money are Chuanzi and his wife."
"So how much do they earn?"
"Four or five thousand."
Sister Taozi's eyes widened.
Ordinary people like them, their family's total income throughout the year is only about 300 yuan. After excluding living expenses and favors, it would be good to have about a hundred yuan left on hand.
Four to five thousand, that is an amount that they will never be able to save in their lifetime.
"real or fake?"
Li Li sneered angrily, "Can I still lie to you?"
Sister Taozi's heart was beating like a rabbit.
For such a profitable business, if she can get on the bus, not only eat meat, but also drink soup.
"Li, tell me what kind of business Kawako and the others are doing? Don't worry, I promise not to spread the word. To be honest, I have some money on hand. If possible, I would like to follow Kawako and the others.
Do."
The reason why Sister Taozi is called Sister Taozi is because her family grows peaches and they plant a whole mountain.
But Li Li also likes to eat peaches, plums, and other fruits. Sister Taozi likes her and sends them to her from time to time, and the two have established a good friendship.
"Taozi, you must never tell a third person about this."
Sister Taozi naturally agreed wholeheartedly and even raised her hand to swear an oath.
Li Li then stopped hiding it and told Lingchuan about reselling electronic watches. After speaking, she worriedly told Sister Taozi not to spread the news.
Sister Taozi said: "Don't worry, Li Li, I know the severity. Besides, there are so many people doing this now, and I don't see anyone getting into trouble."
Li Li had the same idea as Sister Taozi. She thought her husband was making a fuss, so she complained to Sister Taozi and then got down to business.
"I guess it won't work this time. Uncle Zhi took the money and went to the Pearl Market to buy goods. Wait until next time. I will take you to Chuanzi next time. You have to prepare the money first."
Sister Taozi nodded happily, "Okay, then I'll come back to you in a few days."
When Sister Taozi returned home, she immediately told her husband Hu San about the matter. Although she was in charge of the family, she did not dare to use the family's money to do business privately.
When he heard that he could make a lot of money, Hu San didn't object. He just mentioned it to a few brothers when he was drinking with others the next day.
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday again, the day when Deng Zhi brought the goods back to Jiang City.
Early in the morning, after sending Yun Mo off to take the tram, Lingchuan also got on the tram to the train station.
The train from Zhushi to Jiangshi arrived at the station at 11 o'clock, but Lingchuan waited from 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, but there was no sign of Deng Zhi.
He didn't think much about it, thinking that just like last time, he couldn't buy a ticket or was delayed by something else.
The next day, Lingchuan had breakfast and went to the train station to wait.
From Friday to Sunday, for three days in a row, Lingchuan didn't wait for anyone or receive a call from Deng Zhi. Only then did he finally realize that something was wrong.
"Momo."
After working on papers all afternoon, Yun Mo took Dabai Erbai out for a walk while the sun was setting and it was not so hot, so she could relax herself.
When she came back from relaxing, she was greeted by Lingchuan's anxious face.
"What happened? Tell me slowly."
"Uncle Zhi has no news yet, and he has not returned to Jiang City."
Yun Mo's heart tightened, and she immediately closed the door and took Ling Chuan to the room to talk.
"Has Uncle Zhi contacted you since he came to Zhu City this time?"
"Yes, he called me on Wednesday afternoon and said that they had received the goods and were taking the evening train back to Jiang City. They were supposed to arrive on Friday."
"Then have you gone to Deng's house and asked?"
"When I asked, they didn't know what was going on."
Deng Zhi's wife, son, and old mother are all in Jiang City, and they have no debts. Moreover, they came out together with their eldest son, Deng Jiahui, so it is unlikely that they will run away with just a few thousand yuan.
Then there is only one possibility: something happened on the road.
Just when everyone was busy looking for Deng Zhi and his son, Lingchuan received a call from Deng Jiahui.
As Lingchuan and Yunmo expected, something went wrong with this shipment, and Deng Zhi and the goods were kidnapped by the Public Security Bureau.
Deng Jiahui was in the toilet at the time and escaped the disaster, but he was frightened and did not dare to return to Jiang City. He is now hiding with a friend.
After getting the news, Yun Mo immediately went to Zeng's house with a generous gift and asked Zeng Xingguo to help find someone from the Public Security Bureau to inquire about Deng Zhi's case.
Soon, Yunmo got the news through Zeng Xingguo that Deng Zhi was now being detained in the Economic Investigation Team of the Public Security Bureau in the north of the city.
That night, Yun Mo called the two families together for a meeting.
When she heard that Deng Zhi had been arrested, Li Li immediately shouted, "What about my money? What will happen to the money I invested?"
Ling Jiang, even though he had a good temper, couldn't help but get angry, "Shut up!"
"Why do you want me to shut up? I invested 400 yuan in real money, is it going to be wasted like this? If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't finish!"
