Yan Bugui stopped in his tracks, waiting for Third Aunt to approach him. "What’s the matter, Third Aunt? I’m in a hurry to go fishing. If I get there late, I won’t have a good spot. If there’s no good spot, how can I catch any fish? That would be a loss for us!"
"Old Yan," she said, lowering her voice, "the blind man from across the street is out again. Jia Zhangshi mentioned that he wanted to trip him but got beaten up by that old woman from his family!"
Upon hearing that Jia Zhangshi had been beaten, Yan Bugui's eyes flickered with interest. "Jia Zhangshi got beaten? Hehe, it seems like there’s going to be a meeting tonight."
Third Aunt continued quietly, "Old Yan, let me tell you, if there’s a meeting tonight, you can’t side with that family across the street. You don’t know this, but Lou Xiao'e actually gave that blind man a box of Xu Ji pastries. I wanted to try some, but he completely ignored me and locked me outside!"
"That old woman came over and scolded me too! She said our family only knows how to take advantage of others!"
Hearing this, Yan Bugui's eyes flashed coldly. Although he loved to take small advantages, he valued his face even more! Now that he heard Wang Jiefang's grandmother speak of him like that, he made a mental note of it!
Did they really think he was just some big shot in the courtyard?
"I see. I’ll wait until Old Yi holds the meeting tonight to deal with this. For now, I need to go fishing."
Although Yan Bugui spoke softly with his wife, Wang Jiefang heard every word clearly! He was somewhat looking forward to the courtyard meeting tonight! After all, he had seen in fanfiction that such meetings were essential!
As the noise of people returning home filled the air, the workers from the courtyard came back from their shifts!
Qin Huairu saw the workers coming back and went to the water tank to wash clothes. However, her eyes kept glancing towards the front yard as if she was waiting for someone’s arrival!
The people in the courtyard were used to seeing Qin Huairu in this situation; they all knew she was waiting for Shazhu to return. No, more accurately, she was waiting for her lunchbox!
Before Shazhu could arrive, Yi Zhonghai rushed in. He didn’t head straight home but went directly to Shazhu’s house first. Yi Zhonghai pushed open the door and walked in!
Upon entering Shazhu’s home, Yi Zhonghai looked around and frowned. He stepped back out and called to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, have you seen Shazhu?"
"No, Uncle. Isn’t Shazhu at work? He hasn’t come back yet?"
Yi Zhonghai frowned deeper. "Today Shazhu’s apprentice Ma Hua found me and said Shazhu hasn’t gone to work all day. The cafeteria director is angry and asked me to find out what’s going on with him!"
"What? Shazhu didn’t go to work? That shouldn’t be! I saw him leave this morning. He even spoke a few words with Wang Jiefang at the door before chasing after Xu Damao!"
Clearly, Qin Huairu had been watching Shazhu's every move closely that morning!
If Shazhu had gone to work but wasn’t seen at the factory, where could he have gone?
Yi Zhonghai was puzzled about Shazhu's whereabouts! He also worried that something might have happened to him!
