Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 419: Finding Social People to Do Social People’s Business
The Qing'an Forest Area and the Sandaohe Forest Area are separated by only a wide avenue, which leads to Wanye, and there is also a railway track next to it.

Sun Liansheng drove eastward along the avenue. There are two roads to Sandaohe, one is from Wanye to the north, and the other is a small road through Lingdong. The road is winding and rugged. It is hard to imagine how Sun Lianfang drove to Qing'an by herself that night. Even Guan Lei felt an inexplicable fear.

This woman is really bold and reckless. Once she has an idea in her mind, she will definitely put it into action!

Sun Liansheng held the steering wheel with both hands. When the Dongfeng 140 just drove to the north ditch of Songshan, he glanced at the rearview mirror and frowned, "The old Jiefang is following behind. We have seen him at the foot of the mountain at the school."

Xu Ning lowered his head and glanced at his mirror, then said, "Don't worry about it. Just follow me if you want to."

Sun Liansheng laughed and said, "What on earth are these three people thinking? Why do they ask for favors in this way?"

Sun Lianfang held Guan Lei's hand and said, "You are out of your mind! If you want to do something, just say it directly. Beating around the bush is not popular."

"Lianfang is absolutely right. He is indeed out of his mind."

Sun Liansheng smiled, stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed of the car. The car drove smoothly all the way. When he reached the Lingdong fork, Sun Liansheng slowed down and turned into the mountain road.

The old Liberation truck was still following closely behind. Xu Ning had no idea of ​​asking Sun Liansheng to stop the car, because no matter how they followed, they would not hinder Xu Ning's work in Sandaohe. Besides, it was a waste of time to deal with them.

It was already 12:140 noon when they arrived at Sandaohe Town. The Dongfeng stopped in front of the supply and marketing cooperative. Xu Ning and others got off the car and went into the cooperative to select gifts.

The supply and marketing cooperative here is no different from the one in Qing'an, even the furnishings are similar. Guan Lei bought a lot of milk candies, sugar balls and soft candies, two large fruit gift boxes, two bottles of Moutai and Wuliangye each, and two packs of Shilin cigarettes, a total of six things.

The things Xu Ning needed to buy were much simpler, just two bottles of wine, two packs of cigarettes and two cans of food, because he, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu were invited to Sandaohe by Sun Jiye, not to accompany Guan Lei to Sandaohe to see his father-in-law. If they had gone with Guan Lei, the three of them would not have needed to buy anything...

Sun Liansheng was chatting with the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative. Just when Xu Ning and Guan Lei were about to pay, two people walked in at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.

They walked straight towards Xu Ning and said to the cashier with a smile: "Hello, I'll charge for these things..."

Xu Ning tilted his head and looked at the two of them. Guan Lei, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu were also a little puzzled. What on earth was going on? As for chasing them from Qing'an to Sandahe Town and paying for them, this must be a big deal.

"No need! I have my own money. Beauty, please calculate first..."

Father Li was a little anxious. He said, "Brother Xu, please give me a chance! Believe it or not? I was the one who did something wrong at school. I thought too much! Please give me a chance..."

Li Fuqiang stepped forward to stop him, frowning and saying, "My brother's words are useless? Why are you so troublesome? Get out of here!"

Father Li and his brother-in-law were stunned when they heard this. They just stood by and said nothing, waiting quietly for Xu Ning.

The cashier, who had just been called a beautiful woman by him, blushed as she lowered her head and fiddled with the abacus, muttering quietly, "Rogue..."

"Seventy-eight dollars and thirty-two cents."

As soon as the cashier finished speaking, Sun Liansheng and the manager came over. Sun Liansheng saw the two old men were stunned, turned his head and glanced at Xu Ning. Since he didn't say anything, Sun Liansheng didn't interfere.

The manager said, "Zhang'er, I'll take care of this. Go to the back of my office door and get two bottles of wine. Win? I made this wine myself. Take it back and give it to my uncle. It will help a little bit."

"Hey, thanks, Brother Aoyang."

"What a polite gesture, the total is sixty dollars."

When Guan Lei was about to pay, Father Li hurriedly handed him a stack of bills and said, "I'll pay!"

Li Fuqiang grabbed his arm and said, "You pay whatever you want. Do you know me? Get lost..."

Xu Ning turned his head and frowned at him, saying, "You two go out and wait."

"Ah? Oh! Okay, thank you, Brother Xu."

Xu Ning waved his hand impatiently, turned around, took the money from Guan Lei, handed it to the manager and said, "Is the count correct?"

"That must be right. This is Lianfang's boyfriend, right?" The manager looked at Xu Ning with a smile.

Sun Liansheng was stunned and said quickly: "Brother Yang, this is Lian Fang's boyfriend Guan Lei, and this is Guan Lei's sworn brother. They are Guan Lei's brother-in-law and sworn brother, and they are all family members..."

"Hey mom, look, I almost got split! Hello, I'm Sun Lianyang, the cousin of Uncle Lian Sheng."

Xu Ning smiled and shook his hand: "Brother Yang, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Why bother? Maybe we'll all be family members in the future. Come here directly when you come to Sandaohe next time. Brother Yang will arrange for you."

"Okay, let's go first."

Xu Ningxian, Guan Lei, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu went out with their things.

Brother Yang looked at the backs of the people and said, "Why did Lianfang choose such a thin guy? I thought the handsome guy was her match."

Sun Liansheng said: "Then they have chosen her, what can we do?"

"Did my uncle agree?"

At this time, Sun Lianfang came over with a bag of melon seeds and peanuts, as well as two bottles of medicinal wine, and said, "Brother Yang, why are you so effeminate? What are you asking about?"

"Haha, I'm thinking about you. I'm looking forward to attending your wedding."

"Don't worry, I'll give you a chance! Brother Yang, let me thank you on behalf of my dad with these two bottles of wine."

"You're just being polite. It seems like we're not a family." Brother Yang waved his hand.

Sun Liansheng took the melon seeds and wine and said, "Brother Yang, we have to go back quickly, otherwise my second uncle and the others will be worried."

"Okay, let's go now. I won't see you off."

"Eh."

Outside the supply and marketing cooperative, people were coming and going, walking slowly, stopping and looking at the surrounding buildings and stalls...

As soon as Xu Ning and the others went out, they saw Li's father rushing over. He stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Xu! I really have no other options, so I did this. Don't do the same as me, okay? Ah, my name is Li Tielin, and this is my brother-in-law Zhao Wang. We live in Yonghetun..." Xu Ning didn't stretch out his hand, but just said, "Are you chasing me to Sandahe, or are you here to do business?"

Li Tielin withdrew his hand, took out cigarettes from his pocket without embarrassment and gave cigarettes to Wang Hu, Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei, but the three of them waved their hands to refuse.

After that, Li Tielin said, "We came here to do business, and we happened to see you guys coming to Sandaohe, so I wanted to apologize to you. It's true that I did a good job, but I didn't think clearly when you used the child as a condition!"

Zhao Wang said: "Brother Xu, we are all very anxious. Please don't be like us. For the sake of us being from Qing'an, please forgive us."

Xu Ning waved his hand and asked Wang Hu to deliver the things to the car first, then walked to the corner and asked, "Tell me first, how did you come up with the idea of ​​using the child as bait and asking me to meet you at school?"

Li Tielin was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Ning to be so bothered by this matter. He explained, "This is what happened. I originally wanted to find Accountant Xu, but the forest farm said that your family was building a house. I thought that Accountant Xu would not agree to it if I went there unexpectedly to ask for help. Then I heard that Xiaopang was bullied at school, so I came up with this bad idea, but I didn't expect you to come in person... I was indeed wrong about this matter. I admit my mistake to you, okay?"

After Xu Ning heard Li Tielin and Zhao Wang say they were wrong five or six times, his anger subsided. Because he was a typical soft-hearted person, he asked, "Are you going to my dad or me to do it?"

"Looking for you! Brother Xu, only you can do this! Apart from you, I don't know who else I can look for in the whole Qing'an."

Xu Ning frowned and asked, "Is this a troublesome matter?"

At this time, Zhao Wang took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei. This time the two took it and lit it.

Li Tielin said: "Well, this is what happened..."

His sister-in-law was called Zhao Lu. She had attended night school in the city and met a bunch of people from society. When her parents found out, they took Zhao Lu home and quickly arranged blind dates for her. After she went on five or six blind dates, none of them worked out. The last blind date looked like a honest guy, so Zhao Lu agreed to marry him. Then, less than three months after the marriage, when Zhao Lu made an excuse to go to the city to get her documents, she suddenly ran away with the man.

Zhao Wang went to the city to inquire and was told that Zhao Lu followed Lao Ba because Zhao Lu and Lao Ba had been together before...

"This Lao Ba is a gangster. I heard that he didn't even eat peanuts during the crackdown last year. Now my father-in-law can't even hold his head up in the village. My family is so anxious! But we really have no choice. We only know that Lao Ba is from Sandaohe, but we don't know which village he is from. If we go to rob him, Lao Ba will never let him go. I know gangsters have to save face, and my sister-in-law will never go home with us...

Brother Xu, I really have no other options so I thought of you. I was wrong in the past. As long as you help me get my sister-in-law back, I will do anything you ask me to do!"

At this point, Xu Ning must have understood what was said, and shook his head and said, "I can't help with this matter. If your sister-in-law was kidnapped or trafficked, I can help, but your sister-in-law is now following Lao Ba wholeheartedly, what problem can I solve?"

Li Tielin clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "Brother Xu, you can definitely solve it! My sister-in-law's boyfriend's family doesn't want money, they want to talk about it after the man comes home, and my mother-in-law cries all day long...

Yes! Lao Ba asked her to go home after hearing that she got married, but my sister-in-law is so stubborn and keeps staying with Lao Ba. If we don’t let her go home, our family will not be able to survive! Brother Xu, even if you can help pass a message to Lao Ba, your words will definitely be more effective than ours! "

Xu Ning was too lazy to listen to the compliments and waved his hand, saying, "This is not as simple as passing on a message..."

At this time, Sun Liansheng and Sun Lianfang walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative and saw a group of people chatting in a corner, so they walked over. Sun Lianfang heard what Li Tielin said, frowned and said, "Your sister-in-law was taken away by Lao Ba?"

Guan Lei pulled her and said, "Stop interrupting me, okay?"

Li Tielin said: "It's not a gun. My sister-in-law ran away with Lao Ba."

Li Fuqiang added with a smile: "Her sister-in-law ran away less than three months after getting married."

Sun Lianfang looked at Li Tielin with disdain and said, "Your sister-in-law is really a piece of shit. If this happened last year, she would have to eat peanuts!"

"Oh, who said it wasn't true! We can't report it to the police now, and we don't have the ability to get her back. It's really embarrassing to tell this to others, but I'm your brother-in-law, I can't just ignore it. Brother Xu, I really need to trouble you with this matter..."

Li Fuqiang frowned and said, "My brother has told you many times that he can't help you with this matter. Why don't you understand?"

Xu Ning waved his hand and said, "Let's go and get down to business first."

"Brother Xu! Brother Xu!" Li Tielin grabbed Xu Ning's arm and said, "Just pass on the message, pass on the message."

Xu Ning pointed at his forehead and said, "I can't do this kind of stupid thing! It's a fight between two people, who can help you? Your sister-in-law ran away on her own. If she was kidnapped, I can definitely help her, understand?"

Sun Lianfang pouted and said, "Brother, if you can help me, please help me. I have come all the way here, and I am from the same village as you."

Guan Lei pulled her and said, "What do you know? You are the only one who has a good heart and is kind-hearted?"

Sun Liansheng advised: "Lianfang, don't meddle in other people's business."

Li Tielin saw that the situation was beyond redemption, so he shook his head and sighed, "Well...then I'll think of another solution on my own."

At this time, a fierce woman ran out of the old Liberation car. She rushed over and grabbed Sun Lianfang's hand and said, "Old sister! Please help me. I really don't know what to do. My sister is about the same age as you. She hangs out with a bunch of gangsters all day long. I'm so worried."

"Hey, get out of here! What are you doing?" Guan Lei protected Sun Lianfang and stood in front of her.

Sun Lianfang looked at Xu Ning and Sun Liansheng and said, "Brother, if you don't care, I will."

"What do you have to do with it? Stop causing trouble, okay? We are already at our doorstep, can't you just calm down?" Sun Liansheng was really anxious.

Xu Ning said, "Have you thought about the consequences? Let's not talk about the consequences of us intervening in this matter. Have you thought about how his sister-in-law will live after returning home? Since she ran away from home, she must be unhappy at home, otherwise who would be willing to run away?"

Li Tielin immediately understood the real reason why Xu Ning refused to help. He hurriedly said, "Brother Xu, my father-in-law and mother-in-law treat her very badly! She is the youngest in the family and has been spoiled since she was a child. Her sister is here. She has been doing the laundry and farming since she was a child. Her sister only has a fourth-grade education. The family sent her to night school in the city. I don’t know how much money was wasted…"

Zhao Yu said, "Well, Brother Xu, I was a little loud back then. Don't be like me. My sister has never suffered a bit, I swear to God! She was just spoiled by my parents. She can't walk anymore after seeing the tall buildings outside, so she wants to run to the south..."

The two talked a lot. Sun Lianfang looked at Xu Ning and said, "Brother, if you can help, just help. It will be a good deed."

"Are you a good man?" Guan Lei asked with a squinting look.

Sun Lianfang said unhappily, "How anxious are her family? Do you have a heart made of iron?"

"Didn't you melt the iron?" Guan Lei blurted out, and his face froze immediately. He looked at Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and others who turned their heads to stare at him.

Guan Lei opened his mouth and said, "Brother, I accidentally heard what you said to my sister-in-law that day."

"Haha... this brother is really humorous when chatting." Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Brother Xu, just help pass on the message. We really don't know who to look for in Qing'an."
