The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 148 Oolong Incident

Several staff members of the grain station found a place to sit, and they just smoked leisurely, letting her curse at them with foul language.

Lu Zixuan couldn't help but become more curious when looking at this situation. It was indeed rare for someone to not fight back when being scolded. He would never believe that at this time, customers would be the top priority.

Chen Ping just whispered a few words to someone at the back door and didn't take any more actions. He just stood aside and watched the woman's performance.

The woman was probably tired of scolding, and she looked around angrily. Seeing that there was no place to sit, she stood half leaning against the door frame.

They confronted the people at the grain station, blocked the door and did not let anyone in.

Less than 20 minutes later, Chen Ping heard hurried footsteps and took a few steps forward.

“Comrade, whether you consider yourself the Queen of the Western Palace or the wife of a landlord, when you come to our grain station, you must abide by the rules written on the wall.

If you can't read, you can ask other people. This place is called a state-owned grain station, not the grain store of the past. They are not waiters, but real government employees.

Don’t know what government grain reserves are? Well, let me tell you, it is the grain that the government reserves to deal with food price fluctuations, natural disasters or emergencies, to ensure food security and stabilize food prices.

That is the country's food, understand? Do you want to fight the country for food? Or do you want to fight the people for food?"

Chen Ping approached the woman step by step, and suddenly smelled a strong fragrance. He looked at the woman's clothes and face and smiled with contempt.

"You shameless little thief, you stole the master's clothes and dared to show them off everywhere. You are really not afraid of death.

With your pockmarked face and your body as thin as a bamboo pole without any joints, even if you are wearing stolen silk, you are still a piece of dog meat that is not presentable, and you reek of a beggar.

You also secretly sprayed the owner's imported perfume, right? Even if I sell you twice, I still can't buy this high-end stuff. You sprayed it all over your head, right?

Let me tell you, rich people have fragrant hair because they use imported shampoos. They won’t use the good things given to you, and yet they have the audacity to say that you can kill people with money. Come and try to kill me, and I’ll give you a look.

"You look like an unsophisticated person, and your hands are covered with calluses from hard work. Are you a servant doing rough work in the master's house? Or did you just put down your hoe and pretend to be a rich man? Besides clothes and jewelry, what else did you steal?"

When Chen Ping saw Director Zhou coming in person with his men, she immediately waved her hand.

"Director Zhou, come in. I thought it was a shrew making trouble, but it turned out to be a servant who stole the master's property and ran out to show off.

It's just right. I'll give you some more merits. I guess he has other things on him. Go back and ask someone to search for them again."

Director Zhou smiled bitterly and said:

"I had a fight with this little thief today. He just came back from your courtyard and came here again. Come on, two of you, take him away."

When the woman saw that two policemen really came, she didn't dare to show off anymore and started to explain.

"I didn't steal it. It's mine. I came here in a carriage. I really am from a wealthy family. It's not far from here. If you don't believe me, go ask."

Director Zhou saw that her expression did not seem to be a lie, so he observed her carefully and asked:

"Call your driver and I'll ask him about the details."

"There is no driver. It's my man's carriage, right on the side of the road."

The woman explained, then raised her hands to the road and shouted:

"Boss, Han Shun'er, come quickly. They see that I have money and want to arrest me. Come quickly."

Everyone looked towards the roadside and saw a man in a blue gown, a black top hat, and a pair of dark round-frame sunglasses on his nose, rushing towards the grain station.

"Didn't my great uncle say that it is unreasonable to call me Mr. when you are outside? Only girls and villains are difficult to raise."

When he got closer, he first scolded the woman angrily, then bowed to Director Zhou and made a somewhat awkward gesture.

"I don't know if my wife has violated the laws of our great country in any way. I hope you will forgive me. When my humble home is ready, I will prepare the bed for you, my distinguished guests..."

"Stop, stop, stop. If you can't speak those classical Chinese, then don't pretend to be a scholar here. What the hell are you talking about? Stop disgusting me.

Just because you followed others to listen to a few old poems, you think you are a scholar? Just because you made a few bucks, you think you are rich?

Talk to me nicely. Tell me your name, where you live, how you got into the city, where you got the money, where your clothes came from, take off your sunglasses and tell me the truth, or I'll give you a few dozen lashes first."

Director Zhou couldn't stand listening to this nonsense any more. He suppressed his smile, reprimanded him with a dark face, and then looked at the others and said:

"Okay, stand up straight. This is a street. Pay attention to your appearance and smile before going inside."

The awkward smile on the man's dark and thin face froze instantly. He immediately took off his sunglasses and stammered:

"We live in my uncle's house now. This grain store used to belong to him. My name is Zhu Shun, and everyone calls me Han Shun'er.

My hometown is in the countryside. The village chief said that we are now under the management of the commune. The commune took back the land that was allocated to us in the first few years and asked us to go to the fields to earn work points in exchange for food. I didn't want to stay in the countryside to farm, so I came to find my uncle.

He asked my husband and me to work in the steelmaking industry for his family temporarily, and when there was a chance, he would find me a job and let us settle down in the city.

The clothes we have belonged to his family, and he asked us to give them to poor families.

My wife was reluctant to give these good things away, so we kept them for ourselves. We are poor anyway, so it doesn’t matter who we give them to.

The rings and bracelets on her hands were all made of copper, but they were plated with a layer of gold. They were used by his third concubine to fool her daughter-in-law. Now they are of no use to her, so she gave them to my wife.

We have no money, and we live on the 10 yuan pocket money my uncle gives us every month, and today he gave me 50 yuan to buy food."

Director Zhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. He warned them and let them leave.

But the two men stood at the door of the grain station motionless, and Chen Ping immediately understood.

"Don't wait here. Your uncle's food is not bought here. Go home and ask your family for details."

After the two left in doubt, Director Zhou asked Chen Ping in confusion:

"What do you mean? It's not in our jurisdiction? Or there is no grain certificate?"

Chen Ping asked Director Zhou to come to the office, and then slowly explained:

“Those rich people have their own channels to buy refined grain and imported grain, and the rations on their family grain books are basically rations for servants or drivers.

I don't know the specific situation, and even if I did, it would be useless. They really only eat it at home. As for that channel, even we webmasters avoid it for fear of getting into trouble.

I guess the couple angered the servants at home, so they deliberately bullied them. No one likes these two idiots wherever they go."

"Are there many people here to cause trouble? I see that the people here don't look like they have quarreled with them. They look more like they are here to watch the fun."

Director Zhou was also puzzled by the calmness of the grain station staff.
