Chapter 33 Wang Mazi loses all his wealth
Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao and the others' faces fell.

The two were only 10 years old at the time, and the city was not peaceful, so the adults at home did not allow them to run around with He Yuzhu.
Otherwise, you will be scolded at best and beaten with sticks at worst.

Looking at their expressions, He Yuzhu smiled and asked,

"By the way, today is the 26th, and school will start in two days. Have you two done your homework?"

There were not as many examinations in this era as in later generations. Xu Damao and his classmates studied the book very casually, and they didn't care about He Yuzhu's questions at all.

"Hey, it doesn't matter whether you do it or not.
The teachers at school don't have the energy to take care of us now.

You can do your homework casually.

By the way, Zhuzi, my mom told me that Uncle He and Uncle Yan are going to Caishikou in a while, are you going?"

After asking, without waiting for He Yuzhu to speak, Xu Damao spoke on his own.

"I also want to go to Caishikou to join in the fun.

I went there once last year and saw people bringing steamed buns.”

Looking at Xu Damao, who looked excited but sounded somewhat disappointed, He Yuzhu didn't know what to say.
I can only complain in my heart that this thing is useless.
It would be strange if it could cure the disease.

After thinking for a while, he said,

"Go, go with Uncle Yan and my father later. When you come back, bring some quicklime and sprinkle it on the front yard and the wing room to kill some insects or something."

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng were both a little disappointed that He Yuzhu could go to Caishikou but they could not.
But they couldn't do anything because their arms were no match for their thighs.

After He Yuzhu had hung up the clothes to dry, he followed He Daqing, Yan Bugui and Jia Zhangshi out to Caishikou.
On the way, I met many residents near Shichahai, and even saw the village chief Wang Mazi, whom I hadn't seen for many days.

But at this moment, Wang Mazi looked dejected.

"Chief, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? I didn't see you come to the banquet the past two days!"

Hearing He Daqing's greeting, Wang Mazi snorted coldly.
"What's wrong? Humph!
That bastard Gao Shigui has caused me so much trouble.

If I didn't have some wealth, I would be the one on the guillotine today."

After hearing what Wang Mazi said, He Daqing probably knew that he was also implicated in the gold yuan issue.

I guess he paid a heavy price to escape.

Sure enough, after Wang Mazi complained about Gao Shigui, he started talking about the whole story.
"It's all the fault of those damned bastards from the gendarmerie and the security team. They lost the money and we had to pay 1000 gold yuan notes.
I alone lost 600.

He barely managed to save his life by handing over all his family's shops.

Do you think Gao Shigui and his gang should be cut into pieces?

I have to go to Caishikou today to watch them die, otherwise I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart."

I heard that Wang Mazi had only saved his life after losing everything he had.

Jia Zhang, who was standing beside him, felt very happy and said gloatingly before He Daqing and Yan Bugui,

"Deserved!
You have done so many evil things every day, and now you are getting your retribution!"

Wang Mazi has been living a very depressing life in prison these days. Jia Zhangshi is just asking for trouble by gloating over his misfortune.
"Zhang!
I didn't bother with you before because we were neighbors. Did you think I was really afraid of you?
I won’t beat you today, I will write my character “王” upside down.”

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuzhu, who had been following behind him, rolled his eyes. According to his silly character, he pretended to be a fool and acted smart.
"Uncle Wang, if you turn the character Wang upside down, he is still a Wang!" After saying that, He Daqing turned around and glared at him, then smiled and stopped Wang Mazi who was about to roll up his sleeves to beat Jia Zhang.
"Chief Baozhang, please don't argue with Mrs. Zhang.
She has long hair but little knowledge, and she is not very good at talking.

You should explain to us why you have to pay so much and why other people don't know how to share the burden with you!"

At this time, Yan Bugui also pulled Jia Zhang, who was about to speak back, and joined in the conversation.

"Yes, yes, yes, Chief, don't bother with a woman like Mrs. Zhang.
You should talk about losing money.

Also, why are there only a dozen people including Gao Shigui on the notice? I remember that the security team and the gendarmerie should have a lot of people."

He Daqing had been a big pot-holder all his life, so he had plenty of strength in his hands. Wang Mazi couldn't break free for a while.

Besides, when Wang Mazi heard them asking about the compensation, he didn't care about Jia Zhangshi anymore.
"Hey! I've come to this point, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me.
Just like what has been posted on the street, we can also get a share of the gold yuan reform this time.

We guarantee exactly 1000,

As the village chief, I naturally have to take the lion's share of this money. Since I have taken the lion's share, I will naturally have to pay the lion's share if something goes wrong.

As for asking everyone to help share the burden,
Do you think I dare to ask the guards to help share the burden?

The wages of avarice is death,
Let’s not talk about whether they can afford to pay the compensation. Even if they can, I’m afraid they will stab me in the back in the future.”

This is true,

If Wang Mazi asked the guards to help share the burden, the people below would definitely not accept it.
I don't get any good things, but I am the one who gets blamed for bad things.

It would be strange if he didn't get deserted by everyone.
But as long as Wang Mazi is still the village chief, he will get the money back sooner or later.

As a veteran, Wang Mazi naturally knew how to choose.

Just as He Yuzhu was thinking this, he heard Wang Mazi looking at Yan Bugui and continuing,
"Old Yan, don't you think about it?
If I can come up with money to fill the gap, can't the heads of the various government offices in Shichahai come up with money?
Only fools like Gao Shigui,
If you have money, you spend it on eating, drinking, gambling, and smoking, and never even think about buying a property.
At this point, all you can do is wait for death."

Hearing Wang Mazi say this, He Daqing looked strange, as if he was talking about himself.

As soon as Wang Mazi finished speaking, he swore fiercely.

"It's all because of those damned gold-yuan thieves who stole so many cars and money, and made me lose everything.

If I find out who did it, I will skin him alive."

Seeing Wang Mazi's expression of hatred,
He Yuzhu thought to himself that if you really found me, I would definitely reward you with two peanuts.

"By the way, Chief, speaking of the Gold Yuan Coupon Thieves, do you think what happened at Chaoyang Gate this morning has anything to do with them?"

Hearing this, Wang Mazi looked at Yan Bugui and spread his hands.
"How would I know that? I know that the dead man was a gangster who had overstepped his bounds. I don't know anything else. How can I answer you?"

"No, you're the head of our Maoer Hutong. You know people there. Is it true that you don't have any information at all?"

Hearing this, Wang Mazi thought for a moment, then said mysteriously,
“I do know something about this.

I heard that the four thugs were all shot to death, and their heads were smashed. The gunman was very powerful!"

As Wang Mazi spoke, he secretly made the shape of the number "eight" with his hands.
