Chapter 148
The old lady and Ah He didn’t stay long, and they were afraid that Zhao Ping would keep them for dinner. They told them what happened and planned to leave.
“Grandma, I have something to tell you. Don’t worry about Ah He’s house. I’m also planning to build a house. Let’s do the construction together.”
“That’s great. I was thinking before that I’m an old woman who doesn’t know anything. What if I get confused? Now I feel relieved to be with you.”
As soon as the old lady and her grandson left, Zhao Qin saw someone wandering outside.
“Hey, Uncle Luo, have you eaten? Come in and sit down.”
Old Luo came in and sat down. Zhao Qin enthusiastically gave him a cigarette. Zhao Ping wanted to make tea for him, but he stopped him.
“Aqin, the waiter of the Gu family has been spreading the word that you bought Lao Xue’s boat.”
Zhao Qin smiled, “Uncle Luo, I won’t buy Lao Xue’s boat. I bought this boat from a boss in town. If you don’t believe me, let them go and see the boat. It’s different from Lao Xue’s.
Besides, even if it’s Lao Xue’s boat, so what? I didn’t rob it, but I spent more than 10,000 to buy it.”
Lao Luo looked at his face and couldn’t tell whether what he said was true or not. He smiled and stood up and said, “I just said it casually. You guys are busy. I’ll go back first.”
Zhao Qin pulled him and asked his brother to take out two packs of cigarettes.
“Aqin, what are you doing?”
“Uncle Luo, I’ve owed you the cigarettes I promised to give you last time. I just paid it back today. If you refuse, it means you don’t like the cigarettes.”
Lao Luo smiled and nodded at him, “All the words I want to say have been blocked by you, kid. Okay, then I’ll take them.”
Putting two packs of cigarettes in his pocket, Lao Luo hummed a tune and left.
This is his way of dealing with the world. He is never stingy with small money.
“Aqin, will there be any problem?”
“What’s the matter, brother? We bought the boat, not stole it. We have done nothing wrong.” Zhao Qin couldn’t help but smile.
When his brother went to the backyard to kill the fish, his face darkened. The most fearful thing these days is that someone instigates it. Coupled with other people’s imagination, it is possible that in a few days, the discussion in the village will be close to the truth.
Before, he thought the problem was simple, thinking that he only needed to deny it, which was only based on the premise that no one instigated it.
Now the Gu family clearly wants to use this matter to disgust him or ruin his reputation.
After thinking for a while, he was about to get up and go out, and saw Lao Xing strolling in.
“Aqin, Gu Daoheng just came back from the sea in the evening and went to Lao Xue’s house, and then I heard Lao Xue’s wife cursing in the yard.”
Zhao Qin gave him a cigarette and smiled: “I just heard that he wanted to ruin my reputation. It doesn’t matter, I didn’t have a good reputation anyway.”
“Aqin, this matter is not that simple, I’m just afraid that people will make random associations. In addition, Gu Daoheng met Secretary Lin in the village committee again, and the two chatted for a long time in Lao Lin’s office.”
“Didn’t you hear what he said?”
“Lao Lin welcomed him into the office and asked me to ride a bicycle to buy him a box of wine in the town, saying that Lao Zhu’s wine was not good and expensive.”
Zhao Qin raised his eyebrows, knowing that Lao Xing was close to him, and he was deliberately sending him away.
“Okay, I got it. Stay here for a drink tonight?”
“No, hehe, last time, in order to win me over, Lao Lin asked me to go to Lao Zhang’s house to serve stewed dishes to the village account. He said it would be 150 yuan a month. Anyway, I served them every day. I didn’t finish the food I served at noon, so I don’t have to cook at night. You go ahead, I’m leaving first.”
Zhao Qin gave him a thumbs up, and the two laughed.
After sending Lao Xing away, Zhao Qin realized that the backlash from his previous scheme against Lao Lin was coming soon.
He got up and went to Lao Zhu’s store. As a result, Lao Zhu welcomed him into the store and said this to him at the first time, “Aqin, the two brothers of the Gu family just went back to the dock and spread the news that you bought Lao Xue’s boat.”
“Okay, call me back. You are the Nth person to tell me this news. Let’s have something new.”
“New?” Lao Zhu thought for a while and said, “Gu Daosheng’s wife is actually Gu Daoheng’s classmate. Is this new?”
“New is a hammer. Everyone in the village knows it. If she is Gu Daoheng’s ex-girlfriend, it would be new.”
Lao Zhu rolled his eyes, “She quit after junior high school. It’s her first love. Her hair hasn’t even grown up yet.”
After chatting with Lao Zhu for a few words, Zhao Qin bought a pack of cigarettes and went back to his eldest brother’s house. It was time for dinner.
After dinner, he agreed with his eldest brother to go out to sea at five o’clock tomorrow, so he got up and went back to the old house. He was tired enough for the day. After washing up, he turned on the TV and lay down on the bed.
I randomly found a channel to watch, and soon I received a message from Chen Xue, saying that she wanted to go out to sea.
Zhao Qin didn’t care, saying that after he passed his boat license exam, he could choose a good weather to take her to the sea for a trip. In such a hot day, they could find a good place to swim.
ChatAfter a while, Zhao Qin’s eyelids became heavier and heavier. He said he was very tired. Chen Xue knew that he had been busy all day and said good night thoughtfully.
He put down the phone and turned off the TV. Just as he was about to fall asleep, the phone rang again. This time it was an incoming call. He was a little annoyed, but just as he was about to pick up the phone, the other party hung up again.
He didn’t care anymore, turned over and put the blanket between his legs, so that he could sleep soundly, but the next moment his cell phone rang again.
He thought it was A He. If he were the other party, he would drive him to his house and beat this kid up. But it turned out that he was faster and the other party was faster, and the other party hung up before he could answer the call.
So angry!
I glanced at the incoming call and found that it was Jin Xiaogong. Was this guy drunk, or did he bump into it accidentally?
Staring at the phone, I waited for a while and no call came.
Then he lay down, but after a while he turned on the light and sat up, made himself a cup of tea, lit another cigarette, and his brain started working crazily.
It wasn’t until two hours later that he got up and peed, then turned off the light and went to sleep.
…
Early in the morning, I turned on the system and found that today’s luck value was also very good, with a lucky value of 33 points.
When we arrived at the eldest brother’s house, we didn’t need to install the net today, so the three of us could just follow him to the town dock to carry things on the boat. Zhao Qin asked the two of them to wait while he went to get the bait.
After getting the bait, I chatted with Chen Dong for a while, and then he rushed back to the dock and the three of them went out to sea.
There was plenty of time today, and the three of them were chatting and laughing on the boat.
“Brother, let’s change the place to set the hook today.” After the boat sailed for half an hour, Zhao Qin told Zhao Ping that he wanted to change the working location.
“Why, wasn’t yesterday’s harvest very good?”
“Someone is eyeing us. It will be easy to be discovered if we go there. If today’s harvest is not bad, someone might set the hook there. It doesn’t matter if they set the hook, I am afraid they will find the cave.”
Upon hearing that there was such a risk, Zhao Ping agreed.
As soon as the three of them gathered together, they moved to the island where the water pit was pumped before. There happened to be a ground cage there, so there was no need to wander around.
After driving for a while, there was indeed a boat following him in the distance. When he reached the waters where Zhao Qin was working, he saw Zhao Qin’s boat releasing a longline, and then the boat disappeared.
“Is it from the Gu family?” Zhao Ping said in an uncertain tone.
“Those two brothers are looking for excitement. I’ll figure out how to deal with them after these two days.” Zhao Qin’s tone turned cold. These two guys really wanted to cause trouble.
