Chapter 626 Being Robbed
Deng Qiuju told Zhou Bingkun about the affairs of Li Zhenmin and Li Wanying, and asked him whether he wanted to earn the two dollars.
Zheng Juan didn't know that Deng Qiuju had taken out her last two dollars. She only knew that this amount of money was not a small amount for running errands and it also showed the other party's concern.
Although Zhou Bingkun works in a soy sauce factory, he has not had a good life over the years. At the beginning, he worked in the dirtiest and most tiring slag discharge workshop. Although he is no longer in the slag discharge workshop, his treatment is not good either. In addition, because of his upright character, he is often excluded and bullied.
Although his father Zhou Zhigang was an eighth-level worker, he worked at Xiqiao Road Construction on the Southwest Third Line and could not provide much practical help to his son.
So even though everyone in the Zhou family has a job, due to various factors, the family's conditions are not good.
To sum up, the eldest son has some abilities, but he was caught up in the storm and has suffered a lot in recent years; the father has some abilities, but he is in the third line of the southwest, and apart from sending some money home, he can't help the family in other ways; the daughter is rebellious and eloped with someone and has disappeared; the youngest son is an honest man and doesn't make much money even if he has a job.
So Zheng Juan, the young daughter-in-law, not only has to take care of her family, but also has to do some extra work to earn money.
"Okay, I'll agree to this on behalf of Bingkun. Thank you, Aunt Qiuju. Please sit down and have some candied haws."
Although Zheng Juan appears to be as weak as water, she is actually very tough and smart inside.
He knew that this was not just a job worth two dollars, and more importantly, the people coming from Sijiu City had seen the world, so it would be a good thing for Zhou Bingkun to meet them and get to know them.
In her opinion, even if there is no money, she is willing to let her man help with this.
Yang Qiuju happened to have nothing to do, so she went into the house and sat down, helping Zheng Juan string candied haws together while chatting about family matters.
About ten minutes later...
Zhou Bingkun, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua are back.
Yang Qiuju repeated the story about Li Zhenmin. After hearing the news, Zhou Zhigang immediately made the decision, "What is there to discuss or hesitate about? Bingkun, you should go with him later. You have never been far away before, so you can learn more by following him this time. Just think of it as a chance to broaden your horizons."
Zhou Zhigang is a man who has seen the world and is a straightforward person, so he made his point directly.
Then he thought of something and said, "Qiu Ju, take the money back. This is giving him a chance. How can he have the nerve to take the money?"
Deng Qiuju refused again and again: "No, no, how can you talk like that? You must be paid for the work."
As he said this, he stuffed two dollars directly into the hands of the honest Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Zhigang glanced at Zhou Bingkun coldly and said, "This is the introduction fee given to your aunt. You are so embarrassed to take it. Can you be more discerning?"
He was very disappointed with his youngest son, but he also felt sorry for his kindness and honesty.
Zhou Bingkun reacted and quickly returned the money to Deng Qiuju: "Aunt, take it back quickly, or my dad will beat me..."
"Enough of that, I'll call you when they leave." Deng Qiuju changed the subject directly and quickly walked out the door while speaking.
Zhou Bingkun looked at the money in his hand that had not been returned, and then looked at his father.
Zhou Zhigang felt a headache and said helplessly, "Keep it. Find a way to return it later. Don't you think about it? How can you ask for so much just to show me the way? This must be your aunt giving you the commission for running errands. You better remember this."
Zhou Bingkun understood and said anxiously: "Then I will go to her house and return the money."
Zhou Zhigang said speechlessly: "Okay, okay, I've already taken it, why are you returning it? Just remember it in your heart and help your Aunt Qiuju more when you need it in the future."
Then he reminded her, "Don't just stand there. There's nothing for you to do at home right now. Go find Chunyan outside and meet her to get to know her first. Remember, don't be so stupid as to not be able to say anything."
"Dad, your words are too harsh." Zhou Bingkun said with a wronged look on his face: "I think I'm pretty good too, please stop insulting me."
Zhou Zhigang said impatiently: "You still feel good about yourself. If you were a little more motivated and smart, you wouldn't be making only a few dollars a month now."
Zhou Bingkun immediately got excited and retorted, "What do you mean by being smart? I can't just stand there and not fight back when someone is targeting me. I have to speak out when I see injustice. Didn't you teach me to be upright since I was a child?"
Zhou Zhigang glared at him: "You kid, you want to fight with me for everything, right? It's your turn to speak out about injustice. You think the leader is blind, right? You think other people can't see, right? You have great ability, but you care about so many things."
As he said this, he went to get the broom.
Li Suhua quickly pulled him back and said, "What are you thinking? You are so old and yet you still fight? I think the third brother is pretty good. Without him, I wouldn't have survived all these years."
Zhou Zhigang was silent. It was this point that made it impossible for him to hate his youngest son. He was too kind and filial, which led him to focus on his family and not go out to explore the world.
It is precisely because of this that he always feels that he owes his youngest son.
Seeing Zhou Zhigang not speaking, Li Suhua quickly said to Zhou Bingkun, "What are you still standing there for? Go find Chunyan."
"Oh oh." Zhou Bingkun ran out quickly.
Is he stupid?
He is definitely not stupid.
There are some things that when I see them, I can't help but uphold justice, and I just can't bear to see good people being bullied.
He knew that he had suffered a lot over the years because of his character, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with him. The ones with problems should be those who abused their power for personal gain and did bad things.
.........
On Li Zhenmin's side, the three of them were shopping while buying snacks and some nice things.
Of course, it was mainly Li Wanying and Qiao Chunyan who were shopping. Qiao Chunyan generously treated Li Wanying to some food, while Li Wanying bought some nice but not very valuable jewelry for Qiao Chunyan.
As for Li Zhenmin, he is just a little follower.
But he was also happy to be free. He hadn't gone shopping like this for a long time. Looking at the workers clearing the snow on the road, the busy streets, and the small vendors sneaking around from time to time, he felt that this was not bad.
While the three were shopping, danger was slowly approaching.
The whereabouts of the three of them were seen by the two people behind them.
Just when Li Wanying and Qiao Chunyan were about ten meters away from Li Zhenmin, and Li Zhenmin was looking at a vase in a shop and not at Li Wanying and Qiao Chunyan, the person behind him finally seized the opportunity.
"Let's go, you go hold Qiao Chunyan and that woman hostage, and I'll deal with that man."
"it is good!"
The two big men in the alley, wearing military coats and knitted hats on their heads, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, checked the weapons in their hands and quickly separated.
Because the backpack was on Li Zhenmin, just in case, they planned to encircle him from the front and back and control Li Wanying as well.
The three people who were shopping did not notice at first that they were being stared at.
The first person to react was Li Zhenmin.
Li Zhenmin looked at a vase displayed in a shop on the street. Based on his initial judgment, it should be a good antique, so he decided to collect it.
suddenly!
He keenly noticed that the atmosphere around him was different from before, so he turned around and looked in the direction where the others were looking.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw a burly man about 1.9 meters tall with his face covered, looking at me, less than two meters away.
Both sides cooled down for a moment.
Then the masked man on the opposite side quickly pulled out a machete from his military coat and pointed it at Li Zhenmin and said coldly: "Put your coat and bag on the ground. Brother, I just want to get some money to spend. You'd better not resist, otherwise I can't guarantee that you will be intact."
