CHAPTER XXVI
The business of Ma Biao's grain and oil store is really good, and he couldn't keep himself busy and called his old father to help. There are a lot of red and white ceremonies in the countryside in the winter wax moon, although the banquet was not as luxurious and luxurious as it is now, but the necessary food and drink supplies are still indispensable to buy.
Ma Biao's relatives married their daughter, and Ma Biao supposedly wanted to go over early to help, but because Ma Biao's store was busy, he could barely arrive in the afternoon.
Whoever holds a banquet here, regardless of red or white ceremonies, takes two days and two nights, and the front and back of the house, the courtyard and the courtyard are crowded with relatives and friends from near and far and neighbors from the same village to help. Playing and laughing, busy running before and after, asking long questions and short chats, crowded, very lively.
There is no shortage of firewood in the countryside, and the people in the village or the neighbors who help to work will raise two fires in the middle of the courtyard dam, and the raging fire will almost illuminate the night sky of the entire mountain village, and people will gather around the fire, some standing, some sitting, and even some sitting on other people's laps or holding their shoulders, some talking, laughing, and making trouble.
Ma Biao was used to it, saying that he was helping, but in fact, he just made up a number of people, teasing this woman, and provoking the young woman, and the time passed quickly. However, Ma Biao is now a different person than before. Now that he has something to do, and his income is considerable, some women who have no men really rub on him.
At the banquet, generally people who are related to each other will not leave the day before, or play cards or gossip or Kan Dashan to spend the night at the owner's house. Although this place is only a few miles away from Ma Biao's house, it is not far, so he is embarrassed to go back.
The next day, when Ma Biao was being pushed and shoved by several women, his old father ran over to him panting and told him that the store had been burglarized. Ma Biao, who was still surrounded by women, almost didn't hold his breath when he heard this!
You must know that he usually sleeps in the store, and last night he didn't think anything would happen, and left as soon as the door was locked. The point is, the sales are still in the store this week. As soon as Ma Biao thought of this, he turned around and limped towards the store with his inflexible legs.
The door was pried open, and the money must have been taken away without a penny, and a few good cigarettes and a few bottles of good wine were taken, and the rest was as good as ever. Probably because the thief is weak-hearted, he doesn't dare to stay too long, or it is inconvenient to take too many things, so he won't lose things in a large area.
Ma Biao reported the crime, but he also knew that it was too unlikely to find the thief and recover the lost items and money.
This loss is not a big deal for Ma Biao now, he can't hurt his muscles or move his bones, but he just can't swallow this breath.
Obviously, this is done by an acquaintance, first of all, he mastered Ma Biao's action time, and Ma Biao is not a big figure in the local area, and the idle people dare not do this.
When Ma Biao was sorting out the goods, he accidentally found a clip with no hair in the middle of a shelf, and he was a little puzzled, where did it come? The shelves are often turned over by himself, and this thing didn't start to be, so when did this fall here?
Ma Biao almost wanted to break his head, and finally had some eyebrows: this hairpin had been seen on the lotus head, and he had also touched it with his own hands. But why is it here? Lotus has never been to his shop once. It can't be someone else's, right? But who else has come in here, and it's an office area surrounded by two desks. Even if someone accidentally drops it when they buy it, then they have to look for it? This makes Ma Biao puzzled!
Ma Biao found Erwa and told Erwa about it. Erwa also feels that things are a little strange, Erwa is more taboo about stealing, in his heart, this kind of stealing is absolutely intolerable, he has always felt that petty theft is not on the table, both vulgar and hateful.
But Lotus is a widow, a woman who does stealing, no matter how she says the second baby, she can't figure it out.
Since Ma Biao said that incident last time, Erwa has an extra heart, and he always goes over to take a turn when there is no one in the tent. It's normal for the boss to be there, maybe checking for safety, maybe having other plans, no one will suspect anything.
But one day he found half a bottle of wine at the bedside of the driver of the Shuangqiao car, and the brand of this wine happened to be the same as the brand of wine thrown in Ma Biao's store, which made Erwa seem to feel something. But he immediately thought, what does a bottle of wine say? It's all too normal to have such coincidences.
However, by coincidence, he still has to be prepared. He called Sanmao over and told him to pay attention to the movements of a certain driver in the past few days, and find two subordinates to watch in shifts, but he couldn't let him see it.
The driver said was working in Sanmao trough, and it happened that Lotus was also cooking in that trough, and the relationship between the two was tacitly known. Usually, everyone just jokes and adds a little bit of laughter. It's no surprise that this kind of thing is Jinheba, and who still has the spirit to take him seriously.
One night, Sanmao called Erwa to ask her to come to the river dam and catch the gold thief.
The second baby got up from the bed immediately and drove straight to the accident site.
When they arrived, there was a puzzling scene: Lotus and the driver were kneeling on a somewhat reflective pile of sand illuminated by bright lights, and in front of them was a gold-stained cloth with sand on it.
The second baby knew what was going on at a glance.
Erwa motioned to Sanmao to come over, told him to release the lotus, and told her to get out of the house immediately.
He went over and asked the driver: since when.
Not long after, less than three times, the driver's voice trembled a little.
The driver has long known the rules of the trough, and this kind of thing is either chopping off the arm and hand, or removing a layer of skin, and the heavy one even has to take his life.
So at this time, the driver, kneeling on the sand, did not dare to face anyone. In the cold light of the light bulb, it became more and more desolate.
The second baby suddenly had a hidden heart, and put down the hand she picked up again
Second brother, I need money, my dad is still in the hospital! After the driver finished speaking, he actually cried.
This surprised everyone present, and Erwa was also a little overwhelmed for a while.
Erwa asked the driver to be dragged to the tent, leaving Sanmao to let everyone out, and asked the driver: Did you steal Ma Biao's store too?
This sudden question made the driver stunned, but immediately nodded: yes.
Why do you do all this? Erwa's tone was obviously heavier, and the intensity was much greater.
Second brother, I also know that this is not right, but I really have no way out. My old father is still in the hospital, and my brother is a fool who can't even take care of himself. After the driver finished speaking, big tears immediately rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
I'll call someone to investigate, and if you're telling a lie, I'll nullify you. The second baby said angrily.
When the driver heard Erwa say this, he said repeatedly: Thank you! Thank you!
I stole Ma Biao because it was all unintended gain. Second brother, don't you know, I heard people say in private that Ma Biao and Lian Chengcheng made their fortune by stealing gold, and Lian Cheng is still a veteran!
The driver didn't know whether he wanted to exonerate himself or atone for his crimes, when Dangdang said a lot, when it came to Ma Biao and Lian Cheng, he felt that Erwa suddenly had no expression on his face.
In fact, there are some problems, Erwa has thought about it and realized it, but the scene is too big and there are too many things to deal with, so it is impossible to verify them one by one. But when I say it in other people's mouths, I still don't think it's a taste when I hear it again.
He also knows that it is impossible for such a big undertaking to be leaky. There must be something that is contrary to yin and yang and secretly evil, but if you don't know it, it doesn't matter. But as soon as it is confirmed, the heart cannot be calm.
Whether it is Ma Biao or Lian Cheng, the second baby feels that he is not thin on them, and sometimes even deliberately gives them benefits. Although it is said that everyone makes money, but after doing these things behind her back, Erwa still can't figure it out.
But it's been a while, and Erwa's thoughts aren't so impulsive. What's more, this matter can't be investigated further, and there is no need.
It's just that some things can indeed understand a lot of people, and people can learn a lot from them and understand a lot of things.
Erwa sent someone to inquire about the driver's family situation and said that the truth was indeed as he said.
The driver's father is indeed seriously ill in the hospital, and he is taken care of by his mother, who is not very dexterous in his hands and feet, and an older brother is in his forties, with an IQ equivalent to that of a child of several years, running around all day long, urinating and eating there.
After hearing this, Erwa told the driver: You can stay and continue to work, but you are never allowed to do some sneaky things again. If you are short of money, you can advance in advance, as much as you want.
Erwa's actions made the driver grateful, and he happily promised that he would never do anything sorry for Erwa in the future, and promised to repay Erwa's kindness one day. The second baby thought to herself: What can you repay me? I can't help but feel a little funny. However, the current second baby, as long as he doesn't mean to frame himself or have bad motives for himself, he doesn't want to develop things further. Now I am not short of money, so I still have to be cautious. With so many things happening in front of his eyes, he knows very well how many of them have nothing to do with him? He doesn't want to get involved too much now, after all, no one knows who will hack you when. However, in this environment, he sometimes has to be ruthless. Once others think that you are weak and easy to bully, the consequences will not dare to think.
Erwa's subordinates snatched a few outsiders' gold troughs, a group of people with bright knives, don't run to cut, don't give chop, except for the work of you a foreigner, what do you say, you can't let yourself be buried in this ditch for the sake of gold.
Many outsiders heard that Qiu Yuanba was full of gold, so they took a lot of banknotes and prepared to work here to make hundreds of millions of dollars, but in the end, they didn't drag their disabilities or waist lines back to their hometown, and even threw their lives in this ravine. So this is a place that kills the world by fighting, and this is a place that survives by being ruthless.
