Chapter 97 Big Shopping (55)
Seeing that his son understood this truth, He Daqing stopped talking and just sighed before carrying his load and going out.
"As long as you know,
We don’t care how they play, but one thing is that it cannot affect us.
I just feel sorry for Old Xu’s wife, she still doesn’t know anything.”
Hearing He Daqing mention Aunt Xu, He Yuzhu had no intention of causing trouble.
Because women these days depend on men for survival, even if they knew Xu Fugui and Jia Zhang were having an affair, they would most likely endure it silently.
At best, he would fight with Jia Zhang.
It is impossible for the couple to divorce.
By then, he might not only fail to see the fun, but also be considered a villain in vain, and make everyone in the courtyard dislike him.
Walking out of the courtyard,
As the father and son walked toward the Drum Tower, they listened to the discussions of the neighbors standing under the posters.
When passing by the security team and the gendarmerie, I saw that the soldiers inside were in a state of chaos and did not come out to stop the people from being so-called bewitched as they did in previous times.
Arriving at the Drum Tower, the neighbors and diners at the nearby stalls were discussing the unusual reaction of the superiors.
Soon, news of the fall of Tianjin began to spread on the streets.
"Master He, Tianjin has been breached, so our Beiping is now almost an isolated city. The superiors above won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
Hearing Uncle Gui's question, He Daqing thought about it and nodded.
"Roughly the same,
Since we lost the battle at Xuzhou and Bengbu at the beginning of the month, we have no decent friendly troops within a thousand miles of Beiping.
The superiors could have counted on the planes in the sky and the seaport in Tianjin.
But they lost Tianjin Gate two days ago, and this morning they shot down so many old planes. They probably can't hold out for much longer.
I guess it will just be a matter of one or two weeks.
Didn’t you see that the security team and the gendarmerie didn’t come out to cause trouble? They must have received orders from above.”
"That's good, that's good.
To be honest with you, Master He, although there have been rumors in the city that the People's Liberation Army will not attack Beijing, I will not feel at ease until there is a result.
Fortunately, there will be a result at last, and I don't have to worry so much anymore."
Seeing that Uncle Gui and the Russian neighbors were all relaxed, He Yuzhu couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on them.
"Uncle Gui, you are too happy too early.
Don't forget that our city has more than just security forces and military police. The Secret Service also has thousands of agents.
Others can surrender, but they have no way to retreat.
As the saying goes, a trapped beast will still fight, and it will take someone with it before it dies.
The more critical the moment, the greater the danger these people are in. Compared to them, the soldiers from the security team and the gendarmerie are like little lambs."
Not to mention He Daqing and Gui Shu, even the other neighbors nearby were terrified when they heard He Yuzhu mention the Secret Service.
The relaxed smile on his face was completely different.
Just when everyone was getting anxious, they saw many ordinary people on the street calling their friends and running around. They subconsciously thought that they were people from the Secret Service causing trouble.
Without caring about anything, he left his stall and ran after him.
Seeing that everyone was running after him, He Daqing also rushed forward, pulling He Yuzhu with him.
Fortunately, he knew many people when he went out to cater.
Soon I met an acquaintance.
"Brother Fang, why are you running? What did the Bureau of Secrets do to make everyone so scared?"
Hearing He Daqing's question, Fang Mingxiao looked at him in confusion.
"Master He, what are you talking about? What secret service?"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Daqing realized that things might not be as he imagined, so he quickly asked, "Isn't it the Bureau of Secrets that is causing trouble? Then why are you running!"
"What are you talking about? What secret service? We are here to pick up lost items."
Fang Mingxiao's incoherent words confused He Daqing, and he couldn't help but feel even more puzzled.
"Yang Luo? What Yang Luo?"
"Master He, you live in Nanluoguxiang and you don't even know it.
That bastard Han Qingkui went to your Nanluoguxiang this morning to look at the houses he had recently acquired.
As a result, he found that many of his houses were emptied, as if they had been licked by dogs. Not only had all his belongings been emptied, but even the stone mill weighing several hundred kilograms in the yard had been moved away.
He was so angry that he flew into a rage and threatened to kill those people. "
Who is Han Qingkui?
That's the tyrant of Shichahai.
Although he is not as famous as Lin Wenhua and Bai Wenguang, he is also a ruthless person.
In the past half month, he took advantage of the large number of neighbors running away and acquired a lot of real estate and shops by means of slashing prices and seizing by trickery.
Hearing that someone dared to touch their tiger whiskers, He Daqing subconsciously said,
"This is someone's revenge!"
Hearing He Daqing's question, He Yuzhu, who was following behind, thought to himself that I clearly treat everyone equally, I will take advantage of those who have money, but I have no intention of retaliating.
Uncle Fang's description of "licked by a dog" is obviously not appropriate.
Some of that offends me.
At this time, Fang Mingxiao was heard refuting He Daqing.
"The neighbors originally thought that this was someone's revenge on Han Qingkui.
But later we found that it was not the case. Many houses in Nanluoguxiang had been vacated clean except for the houses themselves.
Think again about those flyers posted in the alleys this morning.
Everyone just reacted.
The People's Liberation Army will not embarrass ordinary people like us. The things in those abandoned houses belong to whoever grabs them."
After saying that, Fang Mingxiao reminded cheerfully,
"Master He, I think you should stop selling buns. Hurry up and do it before the People's Liberation Army enters the city.
If you miss this village, you will miss this shop.
Whether you will eat bran or white flour in the future depends on this. If you buy a big batch, you will be rich. "
Seeing Fang Mingxiao's excitement, He Daqing was not optimistic about their actions.
"Second Brother Fang,
Although there are many rich people in Nanluoguxiang,
But when they fled, they took away all the gold, silver and treasures in the house. The neighbors later went to those houses and
How much do you think would be left by now?”
After hearing what He Daqing said, Fang Mingxiao said without thinking,
"I'm just sitting at home doing nothing anyway!
If all else fails, we can also learn from others and empty the house, at least we can get some tables, chairs, benches, bricks, etc. If all else fails, door panels will do."
Hearing that the other party's request was so low, He Daqing didn't say anything else.
He turned around and said to He Yuzhu,
"Zhu Zi, let's go back and take a look first. If someone comes to the courtyard to steal something, your Uncle Yan and Uncle Xu may not be able to stop them."
He Yuzhu had already robbed all the best unowned houses in Nanluoguxiang, so he naturally didn't want to pick up bargains.
After hearing what He Daqing said, he immediately ran away.
"Dad, I can run fast so I'll go back first. Please come back soon."
"Okay, then you go back and take a look first, I'll be there soon."
