Chapter 534: Friendship Store Got Imprisoned
Chapter 534: Friendship Store Got Imprisoned
Having taken a day off yesterday, Li Kailang didn’t sleep much today.
"I happened to have some overseas remittance coupons, so I went there to spend some money today. Come to think of it, I've never been to a Friendship Store before."
Compared with the supply and marketing cooperatives, the Friendship Store used Overseas Remittance Coupons and Foreign Exchange Coupons. No one would go to the Friendship Store without these two kinds of coupons.
You can only look, you can't buy, so there's no point in going there.
After thinking it over, Li Kailang went straight to the Friendship Store.
Soon, we arrived outside the Friendship Store. Looking at the exterior of the store, it didn't seem that grand.
Li Kailang walked into the Friendship Store, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect there are so many things here."
There are a wide variety of merchandise on display, including bicycles, imported watches, and various rare items outside, which seem commonplace here.
Everything that exists outside is available here, and even things that don’t exist outside are available here.
“I didn’t expect that there would be so many things here when the situation outside is so bad.”
Looking at the dazzling array of things here and thinking about the current situation, Li Kailang was a little confused for a moment.
Is it the overall environment that is bad, or is it someone that is bad?
“No wonder the rich live so well. It’s hard not to suspect that they buy everything they want here.”
You can buy whatever you want that is precious to others at the Friendship Store.
Without giving it too much thought, Li Kailang continued to stroll around to broaden his horizons. There were not many people coming to buy things, but most of them were dressed beautifully and were obviously rich or noble.
There were only a few people dressed casually, including Li Kailang.
"It's a good opportunity to come here and buy some things to take back."
"No need for food, let's buy some snacks and cakes or something."
Li Kailang had no shortage of food and meat, but he found it troublesome to make snacks, so he just bought some of them.
Immediately, Li Kailang came to the snack bar and took out a 10-yuan coupon from a pile of overseas remittance coupons.
It is more accurate to say that it is a large piece of paper than a voucher.
The Overseas Chinese Remittance Voucher is composed of the main voucher "Overseas Chinese Remittance RMB" and the "actual ticket" for purchasing materials. It can be said to be a "comprehensive ticket".
The main voucher part is printed with the name of the overseas remittance voucher, the amount of remittance in RMB, the serial number, the validity period and the seal of the issuing institution.
The actual ticket part is composed of multiple shopping receipts, forming a whole with the main ticket.
The real ticket varieties include small tickets for grain, oil, meat, cloth, sugar, etc.
The larger the denomination of the overseas remittance voucher, the more varieties are available.
The remittance vouchers are printed with shopping coupons, non-staple food coupons, grain coupons, and oil coupons.
If you want to buy snacks, you can only use non-staple food tickets. Other tickets cannot replace non-staple food tickets.
"Use the rest, save some."
Immediately, Li Kailang took out the coupon and gave it to the salesperson, "Please give me all the cakes, and I'll have to ask you to change the rest."
"OK, wait."
The salesperson took the ticket, looked at it, and then started to pack grain, soybeans, and crude oil for Li Kailang according to the actual contents on the ticket.
"It's better to say that if you don't bring an oil bottle, you can get an extra glass bottle. What a difference."
Li Kailang thought about how he forgot to bring oil when he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy oil, and the salesperson refused to fill it for him.
If I hadn't said all the nice things I could have done, I wouldn't have been able to buy the oil in a glass bottle. This glass bottle cost one dollar, but since I didn't bring any here, it's free.
"What a difference! Fortunately, I still have bills and US dollars. It seems that I have to find a way to make foreign exchange in the future. How can I live without enjoying the present?"
Li Kailang couldn't help but want to go out and make money, but this required an opportunity, otherwise it would be hard to say.
Not long after, the salesperson brought the item and handed it to Li Kailang.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." The salesperson responded with a smile. Look at his attitude, it's completely different from that of the uncles and aunts in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Sometimes they don't know how to manage customers, but this Friendship Store can still serve with a smile.
After taking the things, Li Kailang went out.
At this time, several sales girls gathered together and said, "There's a new person here. I see he has a lot of tickets. It seems that his family is also rich."
"How about it, are you interested in me?"
As she spoke, a girl nudged the salesperson with her shoulder.
"Hey, stop it. They are here to buy things. We are just salespeople. How can we talk about love with them?"
"Hey, look at what you said. I thought you were being fair. If nothing else, don't you have any feelings for others?"
"Oh, you guys think too much. No matter what happens to him, it has nothing to do with me. Just get back to work."
Almost all families that can come to the Friendship Store to shop are well-off, and similarly, those that can come to the Friendship Store to work are naturally not well-off either.
People don't need to be too high-class to be a guest, just treat him politely. After all, anyone could get into trouble at any time, so it would be better to find someone to borrow the money from.
But this is unlikely to be used. Since I'm already working here, there's no need to worry about not being able to get something from within.
Coming out of the Friendship Store, Li Kailang saw many people looking at him with envy.
"Another one with coupons. When I become rich, I will also get a coupon. I want to see what's so great about this Friendship Store!"
"That's right. If anyone can do it, I might be able to do it too."
"Me too."
Li Kailang didn't pay much attention to their words of striving for success.
It is not easy to get overseas remittance coupons. Either someone works abroad and sends money back, or they resell them privately.
People like Li Kailang who were rewarded were a minority; more people paid money to exchange for coupons and then gave them away.
Not far away, Li Kailang saw a strange man walking by. He had a bandage on his nose, which made him look very out of place on the street. He only needed to paint his nose red to look like a clown.
Next to him was a policeman.
Li Kailang narrowed his eyes: "Hmm? Isn't this Teacher Yan?"
It seems that Qu Yang's punch was quite powerful, and it hasn't healed even after a week.
Seeing this, Li Kailang immediately became interested: "Teacher Yan, Teacher Yan."
Yan Wanbin looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Kailang, "Li Kailang, why are you here?"
Yan Wanbin was a little surprised to meet Li Kailang by chance.
"I came over to take a look. Are you okay, teacher?" Li Kailang asked with concern.
Hearing this, Yan Wanbin gently touched his nose and felt a little painful. "It's okay. I've recovered. It doesn't hurt that much."
In fact, it was quite serious. The doctor diagnosed that if the force was stronger, the nose would have been broken directly, or if he had been hit with another punch.
Fortunately, he was not fully repaired at that time and was protected by Li Kailang, otherwise he would have definitely suffered a fracture.
"That's good. I haven't visited you for so many days. Teacher, please accept this."
Immediately, Li Kailang handed the purchased items to Yan Wanbin.
Li Kailang didn't know Yan Wanbin's home address. Not only him, but even the study committee member Qi Mengru didn't know either.
"How can this be so embarrassing?" Yan Wanbin refused.
"What are you embarrassed about? Teacher, you are injured and need to replenish your nutrition. I just bought this from the Friendship Store. Take it."
When Yan Wanbin heard this, he refused: "Oh, this is even more unacceptable, you can take it back yourself, it's not easy to buy something, you can use it yourself."
He knew a thing or two about the Friendship Store. It was not easy to enter and buy things there, but he had never been there.
"It's okay, Teacher Yan, I still have tickets. I can buy them later. Just accept them." After some refusals, Yan Wanbin still refused.
At this time, the policeman next to him couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Comrade, could you please hurry up? There are people waiting for you at the police station."
Seeing the policeman next to him, Yan Wanbin remembered that he had other things to do and stopped refusing.
"Okay, I'll take it. Thank you, Li Kailang."
"You are too polite, teacher. Do you know about this?"
"Ah, I'm going to the police station regarding Qu Yang's matter." Yan Wanbin said directly.
"Comrade, this matter cannot be leaked to anyone."
"It's okay, it's okay. He is my student. He was the one who stopped Qu Yang in time. Otherwise, I would be in a worse situation. Thanks to him, he is also a witness."
Hearing this, the police looked at Li Kailang and wondered if such a big and strong man was still studying.
"Okay, since you're a witness, forget it. Let's go. The police station is waiting for you."
"Okay." Yan Wanbin nodded, then looked at Li Kailang. He thought that he would have to go to the police station soon, and if something happened, no one would protect him.
"Xiao Li, are you okay for now? If you are, come with me to the police station."
Li Kailang looked at the former policeman and saw that he had no objection: "Okay." He just happened to join in the fun.
Immediately, the three of them went to the police station, but the things were still in Li Kailang's hands and had not been delivered.
Not long after, the three arrived at the police station and followed the police to the detention room.
"Is this Qu Yang?" Li Kailang looked at Qu Yang in front of him, who was slovenly and pale. He hadn't seen him for a few days and found that he had changed so much.
When he heard his name, Qu Yang raised his head and saw Yan Wanbin and Li Kailang.
"Hmph!" Qu Yang looked at Yan Wanbin, his eyes still full of disdain.
Yan Wanbin looked at him coldly. Even now, Qu Yang still refused to admit his mistake.
Pat pat pat——
A series of footsteps were heard. Following the sound, I saw two policemen leading the group and two middle-aged couples behind them.
The two middle-aged couples looked tired and decadent, especially the middle-aged woman, who had some marks at the corners of her eyes.
"Oh my son!" The middle-aged woman cried out as soon as she saw Qu Yang, grabbing the railing and looking at her sloppy son pitifully.
"Mom." Qu Yang felt uncomfortable as he looked at his mother in front of him with tears in her eyes.
Instead, Yan Wanbin looked at them coldly, without any sympathy at all.
cough~
A policeman coughed twice to attract everyone's attention. "The matter has been investigated clearly. You have come here several times and understand the cause and effect. I will not elaborate on the extra words."
"Teacher Yan, I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to issue a letter of apology?"
Yan Wanbin did not hesitate: "If you don't issue it, I will never forgive such a person!"
"Pooh!"
"Yan Wanbin, who do you think you are? You want me to beg you? You're dreaming. I'll never beg you even if I die. The worst that can happen is that I'll go to jail!"
Qu Yang looked at Yan Wanbin viciously.
"Comrade police officer, you've seen it too. For someone like this, do I need to issue a letter of apology? People who do this should go to jail!"
"Don't go to jail, don't go to jail!" Suddenly, the middle-aged woman shouted, looking at Qu Yang behind the railing.
"Son, can you just give in? Being in jail is hard, and I don't want you to go to jail. So, all we need to do is bow our heads. It's not shameful, and it's better than going to jail!"
"Impossible!" Looking at his mother's miserable appearance, Qu Yang refused to give in.
"Teacher Yan, Teacher Yan!" Seeing that she could not persuade Qu Yang, the middle-aged woman crawled to Yan Wanbin's feet and grabbed his trouser leg.
"Teacher Yan, please be kind and let my son go. My son is still young and doesn't understand. Please let him go."
"I will give you as much money as you want, even if it means I lose everything I have. He is just a child! What will he do if he goes to jail?"
Looking at the middle-aged woman howling like a ghost, Yan Wanbin remained unmoved.
"Still a child? Humph, people in their 20s are adults, how can they be children? Adults should be responsible for their own actions."
"Also, I'm not short of money. I'm a night school teacher and the director of a machine repair shop. Do you think I'm short of money?"
Yan Wanbin looked at Qu Yang and said, "Qu Yang, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. You were expelled from the night school because you beat up your teacher!"
"Bah! I don't care about it. What a bullshit Night University. If there is someone like you in Night University, it will be ruined sooner or later!"
"You're talking nonsense. Don't talk nonsense. What kind of person am I? Tell me!" Yan Wanbin looked at Qu Yang with a cold face and his eyes full of anger.
Qu Yang sneered and looked at Yan Wanbin with disdain on his face.
"What can a petty-minded teacher achieve?"
As he spoke, You noticed Li Kailang and added, "And he's biased. There's such a teacher. Humph."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Wanbin was naturally very dissatisfied: "Tell me, how am I narrow-minded! How am I biased!"
Immediately, Qu Yang directly exposed Yan Wanbin's petty and biased behavior.
Deliberately targeting him in homework.
He is very partial to Li Kailang and others, especially when there are problems. The most important thing is that Li Kailang beat up Qu Yang and others.
“Hahaha~” After hearing this, Yan Wanbin pointed at himself and said, “I am biased and petty? You brought this upon yourself!”
Yan Wanbin was too lazy to explain to Qu Yang: "Do you really think I don't know that you hired someone to steal my briefcase in order to steal my food coupons?"
"You think you hid it well, do you think I don't know? I know everything. I saw your look clearly on the podium at that time."
"Are you surprised? You think I don't know anything, but I know a lot!"
"Just because you almost killed me and my whole family, just letting you go to jail is far from the extent of my revenge!"
In an instant, Qu Yang's eyes widened and he looked at Yan Wanbin in disbelief, then immediately lowered his head, afraid of being seen by him.
Seeing this, Yan Wanbin was completely certain.
On the other hand, the middle-aged couple on the side looked at them in confusion, while Li Kailang and the police were just watching the fun.
Is there any secret involved?
The atmosphere in the corridor fell silent, and no one dared to breathe heavily.
Yan Wanbin didn't want to waste any more time on this matter. Today was the day Qu Yang would be sent to prison. The sooner he was sent there, the sooner he could get rid of the hatred in his heart!
"Comrade police, please deal with it quickly. I will never forgive him."
"Yesterday's cause, today's result, you asked for all this!"
After saying this, Yan Wanbin didn't want to endure Qu Yang's parents' crying and begging anymore, so he left.
By the time Qu Yang's parents came to their senses, Yan Wanbin had already walked out.
"Oh my son!" The middle-aged woman burst into tears, but it was too late to save the situation.
The policeman stopped talking nonsense and directly read out the result of Qu Yang's handling: "Qu Yang, you are suspected of intentionally injuring others."
Li Kailang left without waiting for Yan Wanbin to finish listening.
"Teacher, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. This little thing can't hurt me. I've been through a lot."
The two men didn't talk for long before the police brought Qu Yang out of custody. They saw that he was heartbroken. A middle-aged woman was wailing behind him, and the middle-aged man had to support her.
The police briefly explained Qu Yang's sentence and sent him to prison.
Yan Wanbin glanced at the middle-aged couple and said, "Okay, let's go."
Seeing that Yan Wanbin was in a bad mood, Li Kailang gave him the things and left, leaving him to deal with his emotions alone.
