The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 128: Burying Mine Again

When the deaf woman spoke, everyone was a little dissatisfied, but as the matter was urgent, no one wanted to argue with her and continued to discuss the next countermeasures.

Wu Guihua asked Chen Ping quietly:

"Will I really lose my job if I don't pay enough? If that's the case, I can only donate the iron stove I just replaced last year.

If I had known I would not have changed it, I would have used it for a whole winter, what a pity. "

Seeing that Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's family were all listening attentively, Chen Ping gave a subtle hint:

“I don’t know about other jobs, but I can’t find enough, it’s definitely not possible, otherwise why would I be willing to pay a high price to buy one outside?

I felt quite aggrieved. We had already found a good place to buy a house, and my son said we could just live in the yard, so I didn't take it seriously.

Who knew this would be the outcome, and who knew if it would still be available for purchase.”

When people who were close by heard what Chen Ping said, they all nodded in response.

"Yes, then how about this, Chen Ping, when you go to buy some, please buy a few kilograms for my family if you have any extra."

"Yeah, don't wait until tomorrow, you can ask now, I'll go to the next door and borrow a bicycle, how about that?"...

Chen Ping was delighted when she saw it and was about to agree, but Lu Zixuan immediately stopped her in his heart.

[Mom, don’t reply. I don’t want them to buy it. I’ll postpone it to tomorrow.]

Although Chen Ping was puzzled, she still followed Lu Zixuan's method.

"I'm sorry, I don't know who it is. I can only ask when I get to work. I'll get back to you tomorrow after I've clarified it.

Let's see who has a solution. We can't just point fingers at me. People working in the steel mill should be able to find a solution. None of us have ever come across this."

It was the Yan Bugui family who reacted quickly. Yan Jiecheng asked Yi Zhonghai loudly:

"Uncle, you promised my dad at the beginning that I don't need to worry about this matter, you have a way.

Why is there no way out now? Are you trying to distract us?

I don’t care. Even if we can buy it with money, our family won’t pay for it. You have to be responsible to the end.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone pointed their criticism at Yi Zhonghai, and everyone started to criticize his misdeeds.

"Oh, you just discovered that he is hypocritical? I knew it a long time ago."

"If he wasn't a senior chef in the past, who would have chosen him as the boss? It's really unlucky."

"I've always disliked him, he's just a wolf in human skin, bah"...

Yi Zhonghai was so embarrassed that he felt like there were needles hidden in the quilt under his butt and he could hardly sit still.

"Everyone, stop arguing. Xiao Yi was trying to do good things for everyone with good intentions. But he messed it up. Stop complaining.

In this way, as long as someone can find something, no matter how expensive it is, Xiaoyi will pay for it. If he can't afford it, I will pay for it, okay?"

The deaf woman's domineering speech did indeed suppress everyone's anger. She then pressed her cane twice in the direction of Chen Ping.

"Chen Ping, don't wait until tomorrow. Everyone seems to be very anxious. You are a cadre after all. Can you help them make the trip?"

Chen Ping was held hostage by the deaf woman and said with some displeasure:

"That cadre can't run out in the dark, I'm a woman.

Besides, even if they have it, can you agree to the price? Wouldn't it be a waste of my trip? You should count the quantity first and determine the price, and then I'll take a look."

The deaf woman had already settled the account.

"No need to count 200 kilograms. The best rice at your grain station is only 20 yuan per kilogram. Scrap iron is not worth much. yuan is enough for you, okay?"

"No, you can give me 40 yuan. If it's not enough, I'll pay more.

You definitely won’t give me more, so I’ll just refund the 40 yuan or make up the difference. But let me make it clear first, there won’t be a receipt or anything.

Believe it if you want to, and forget it if you don’t want to. Anyway, the 200 kilograms you mentioned obviously don’t include our family.

If it works, take the money. If it doesn’t, forget it. I don’t care about the running money.”

Chen Ping argued with reason. The deaf woman thought about it and agreed with gritted teeth.

Chen Ping got the money and waited for He Yuzhu to borrow a cart, and the four of them went directly to the steel mill.

Halfway through the journey, Lu Zixuan looked around and asked loudly:

"Uncle, do you have cigarettes with you?"

He Yuzhu didn't know Lu Zixuan's purpose, so he answered honestly:

"Yes, we have three grades, high, medium and low. Do you need them later?"

Lu Zixuan intends to test He Yuzhu.

"Yes, I need it. What kind of cigarettes does the section chief usually smoke?"

"No, the pockets on shirts are usually mid-range or high-end."

He Yuzhu replied without hesitation.

“Great, uncle, just remember how to get along with them.

Come on, take me to the Security Department and just follow my instructions.

Mom, aunt, you two wait at the gate first, they will be out in about two or three minutes."

The four of them walked to the entrance of the steel mill, and Lu Zixuan immediately made arrangements.

"Chef He, how come you have time to come to our security department? Is there something wrong?"

A young man in military uniform at the gate greeted He Yuzhu.

Lu Zixuan signaled He Yuzhu to light a cigarette.

"Uncle, can I come in and ask you something?"

The man took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, exhaled, and led them in.

“Okay, for Chef He’s sake, come in.

This good cigarette is different, and you guys who follow the leaders are really generous. "

"It's nothing serious, the teacher just assigned me an essay called The Loveliest People. I feel that all of you in military uniforms are great and the cutest.

I would like to see what the working environment of former soldiers and current security guards is like, is that okay?"

Lu Zixuan was talking nonsense. The person on duty immediately threw away his cigarette butt, stood up straight, and agreed happily.

Lu Zixuan walked around the room, as if he was really visiting. After he came out, he bowed to express his gratitude.

He Yuzhu was a little confused by Lu Zixuan's nonsense and wandering.

Before the question was asked, Lu Zixuan began to explain.

“When we came out, we were followed by someone, probably Yan Jiecheng.

Let's go to the shabby yard at the end of the street. The things are there. I'll explain it to you later."

The four of them were silent as they made their way to the end of the street.

He Yuzhu loaded the nearly 200 kilograms of scrap iron into several piles onto a cart, and then went back to the yard with Lu Zixuan to tinker with it for a long time before pulling the cart back to the courtyard.

Lu Zixuan said loudly to He Yuzhu:

"Uncle, the section chief just said that the remaining 500 kilograms will be taken away tomorrow morning. Have you covered them well?

We were the only ones here tonight, so if it gets lost it will be our fault."

"Well, why worry about it? They are all stolen goods anyway. No one will pursue the matter if they are lost. Besides, they might be bought up in a while.

Let's go back quickly. I earned more than two dollars from the deaf woman today. I'll just use it as errand fee. If I need to do shopping again, I will never give up. It's so easy."

He Yuzhu also raised his voice to respond to Lu Zixuan.
