Zheng Bajin wanted to treat Mr. Yang to a meal, but he was refused, saying that he would wait until he earned money before inviting him.
Zheng Bajin looked very regretful, sent the three of them away, and immediately went to work on the counter.
Everything went too smoothly, but it made him feel less at ease.
When it was getting dark, Zheng Bajin left Nian Jian'an in the city and returned to the countryside alone.
Now, when Nian Jian'an looked at the store, he felt reassured that no one would have bad intentions in a place like this.
On the contrary, he did not expect that the factory buildings in the village had not been arranged in advance.
It was impossible for him to let Zhang Xiaoyang live in the factory.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that except for Nian Jianan and Qingqing, no one in this world could really be trusted, including Zheng Laohai, his nominal father.
Naturally, brothers don't dare to count on it. As long as it doesn't hold them back, I'll be thankful.
When I got home, it was already very late, Qingqing still hadn't slept, so she closed the canteen, took Xiaocao with her, and sat in the factory building, helping him guard the hams inside.
Seeing Zheng Bajin, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Zheng Bajin said: "Forgetting your trouble, you can take Xiaocao to rest. I'll be fine here."
Qingqing nodded and said, "Why so late?"
Zheng Bajin gave her a brief introduction to the journey to the city. Originally, his plan was to sell it in the city and sell as much as he could. If he couldn't sell it, he would take it for a trip.
What he didn't expect was that an old man Yang would appear out of nowhere and allow him to gain a foothold in the city in advance.
Qingqing heard that there was a sales store in the city, and she was happy but also a little disappointed. It means that she and Yang Gang have to separate.
"Where did Zhang Xiaoyang go?" Zheng Bajin asked.
"He temporarily rented a small house in the village, saying it was inconvenient to live here." Qingqing answered simply.
Zheng Bajin was stunned. This young man is quite good, but he still has to rush to work and pickle the ham he collected. He will think of a way tomorrow. He has to kill Hu Ying's pigs and return the borrowed house. , An Xin came to the factory to keep Qingqing company.
However, what gave him some headaches was Zheng Laohai and Zheng Baliang. He couldn't be too kind to them, but he couldn't let them go.
…
After curing the ham, Zheng Bajing, who had just fallen asleep after a tiring day, quickly fell asleep, but was forcibly awakened by a knock on the door.
When he heard Hu Ying shouting his name outside, his heart sank. Zheng Baliang must have caused trouble by not stopping.
He hurriedly agreed and got up quickly.
"Get up quickly, the pig at home is missing!" Hu Ying said anxiously.
Zheng Bajin, who was getting dressed, was stunned. Is God helping me to find a good reason for Hu Ying to come to the factory with peace of mind?
He quickly got off the ground and when he arrived at the door, he opened it and his clothes were neatly dressed. He saw Hu Ying looking anxious. Zheng Bajin was busy comforting: "Don't worry, if something happened, please tell me slowly."
"The old beheader got some wine from somewhere. He and your brother were so drunk that they couldn't wake up. The pig was stolen and he didn't help me chase it. This life is really hard to live. !" Hu Ying said while crying.
"Don't worry, isn't it just a pig? Where will he go?" Zheng Bajin held the flashlight and had no intention of scolding Zheng Baliang. Instead, he said softly, "You can help me guard the factory here, and I will chase him!" "
At this time, Qingqing also heard Hu Ying's voice, got up and lit the lantern.
Hearing that Zheng Bajin was going to catch the thief, he panicked and said hurriedly: "I don't know how many people are there. If you go alone, you might be in danger, so it's better not to go! Losing a pig is a trivial matter, safety is more important!"
"It's okay, I'm a half-immortal, who can do anything to me?" Zheng Bajin said with a smile, "Don't run around, you and your mother, keep your eyes open and look at the factory, don't let others fish in troubled waters."
With that said, Zheng Bajin rushed out of the door and extinguished the flashlight.
He didn't believe that such a big pig could be thrown away at a loss, and it would bark twice anyway.
A pig is worth at least two hundred yuan and is the hope of a small family for a year.
The most important thing is that some people have their own ideas. If they don't retaliate, the next step may be to get something from their factory.
This was also the main reason why he didn't dare to be careless and had to come back by himself and let his old father-in-law stay in the city temporarily.
There is a certain distance from the factory to "home". Many people along the way got up after Hu Ying shouted all the way, lit their lamps, and started searching together.
For people in Nianjia Village, theft is the most hated behavior, just like seeing a mouse crossing the street, everyone shouts to beat it!
Although Zheng Bajin didn't light up the flashlight, he still met many people. When they saw him, they couldn't help but ask questions, which made him frown.
The dispatch of well-meaning people will make the thieves wary, but it also brings some trouble for Zheng Bajin to find pigs.
It is not uncommon for thieves to cry out to catch thieves...
People also started talking, saying that this thing must be caused by outsiders, and that the villagers were not so bold.
There is also someone who is almost named Zhang Xiaoyang.
This is strange. In recent years, such sneaky things have rarely happened. Why, suddenly there are outsiders, and trouble occurs.
The implication of his words was that he was not only suspicious of Zhang Xiaoyang, but also somewhat blaming Zheng Bajin. He was the one who led a foreigner like Zhang Xiaoyang here. No, something happened. He was really harming others and himself!
Naturally, Zheng Bajin would not limit his suspicion to Zhang Xiaoyang. There must be a mole in the village. Moreover, he was very familiar with the road. It could be said that everyone in the village could be suspicious. With an idea, he quickly divided the enthusiastic people in the village into several groups and rushed in all directions, leaving them in hot pursuit.
But he turned off the flashlight, hid in the crowd, followed for a while, then quietly left the group and walked to a hidden place.
Soon, he passed through the back of the village, took a small road, and went all the way to the top of the road leading to the mountains. He sat down in an open space and waited for someone to come.
There is actually only one main road in the village, and one end leads to the street of Xiayu Township. The other party will definitely not be so stupid and go where everyone else wants to go.
The other end leads to the mountainous area.
According to conventional thinking, it is impossible for the other party to go there, and even if the pigs are safely sent away, they cannot be sold.
However, Zheng Bajin felt that the other party would either not leave the village or would come here. If he couldn't sell it, he could kill it and pickle it.
At that time, even if you find it, you won't dare to say that it is your own pig. If it is permed, it will look like a pig.
No matter whether the flower is white or black, it will always be white in the end.
As the saying goes, shave off the hair of a pig and transform into a human body...
No matter how awesome you are, you will always look the same in the end!
As the enthusiastic people rushed out of the village and chased in all directions, there was no one on the road, and even the village seemed calm, as if nothing had happened.
However, not long after, Zheng Bajin heard a noise.
Two human figures passed by on the road below him, and they could not be seen clearly, but the sound of the pig's grunting still did not escape Zheng Bajin's ears.
"Go quickly, there is no way these people will notice, we will follow them." One person said in a low voice, very proudly.
"Don't talk, be careful." The other person was quite vigilant and seemed to be an experienced person.
Zheng Bajin didn't know who the two were, and he didn't know if they were from the same village. He picked up the stone. If he was condescending at this time, he would definitely be able to knock down the two of them.
However, after thinking about it for a while, I gave up.
