Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 75 Unforeseen circumstances
"Ah? Uncle Chu, what happened to my family? Did they tell me?"

Su Dapeng stood up suddenly, looking anxious.

"Your family didn't tell you the details. Just pack up and I'll take you to the county town right now. You can still catch the last bus in the afternoon."

Chu Xiaowei didn't know much, but Su Dapeng's family went to great lengths to call him, so there must be something important.

The farm was the only one with a telephone, so Su Dapeng's family only knew he had come to the farm, but didn't know the phone number. So they went to the Electric Power Industry Bureau, and it was the security guard, Uncle Ma, who helped them make the call.

It is quite inconvenient to make phone calls nowadays. Very few people have telephones at home. Most of the time, only companies have telephones. Of course, people are not allowed to make phone calls casually.

"Dapeng, don't worry. You will know what happened when you get back. Let's go. Uncle Chu and I will see you off. I will be back in a few days."

Du Shaojie asked Su Dapeng to take his things with him, and then followed Chu Xiaowei out.

Finally, Chu Xiaowei drove the tractor straight to the county town. Along the way, the three of them were silent, especially Su Dapeng, who wished he could fly home immediately.

Arriving at the station, Su Dapeng hurriedly bought a ticket and got on the bus.

Du Shaojie gave a few instructions, and after the bus started moving, he and Chu Xiaowei returned to the farm together.

The next morning.

As soon as Du Shaojie became free, someone from the field office came to call him.

"Master Du, there's a phone call for you. The manager asked him to call back in half an hour. You should hurry to the headquarters."

When Du Shaojie heard this, he ran as fast as he could and ran all the way to the field office.

The phone was here. He waited patiently for a while, and then the phone rang.

"Hello, please call Du Shaojie."

"Dapeng, it's me."

"Shaojie, something happened to my dad."

The call was from Su Dapeng. He briefly explained what happened and then hung up.

Su Dapeng's father was a capable man who was very popular in his workplace. But people like him had a characteristic: they loved drinking and had contact with a variety of people.

That day, a colleague from his unit came to his house to drink and brought a stranger, the so-called "friend of a friend".

Su Dapeng's father didn't mind. He had encountered this kind of situation many times. It was just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, everyone was very drunk. The man brought by the colleague saw the hunting rifle hanging on the wall and insisted on going to the back mountain to shoot birds.

"What's the big deal? Let's go!"

Father Su cared a lot about his reputation and was a little drunk. Although it was already dark, he still took out his shotgun, took some bullets, and went to the back mountain with the two of them.

What happened later was a little unbelievable.

The man insisted that he could shoot a gun, but he just held the shotgun and aimed it around without caring whether it would cause any danger.

Before Mr. Su could stop it, he heard a "bang" and his colleague fell to the ground, never to get up again.

This is what happened, and it was very serious. Both Su's father and that guy were locked up.

"Dapeng, your father is not the primary person responsible for this matter, so the problem should not be serious. In this way, I will discuss other matters when I return. Don't worry, there will always be a way."

It was not convenient to say too much on the phone, so Du Shaojie ended the call quickly.

As he walked out of the site, he was still wondering what was going on!
A few days later, the farm distributed benefits, and Du Shaojie returned home with the flour and cooking oil he had received.

"Alas, something happened to Dapeng's family. His mother couldn't figure out what was going on and fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. Son, see if there is any way you can help them. Any help counts."

When Wang Yuxiu talked about Su Dapeng's family, she couldn't help but sigh.

What a good child, but he had to endure such hardships. His father was in prison, his mother was bedridden, and his sister, who had just married, was away from home and had not yet returned.

There are two elderly people at home, and he has to take care of everything by himself.

"Ok, I know."

Du Shaojie put down his things and went out to find Su Dapeng. Xiaomei and Xiaoya were very well behaved, knowing that their brother was busy, so they didn't stick to him.

"Xiao Jie, eat first before going."

Wang Yuxiu shouted from behind, this guy is really a worry and can't take care of himself at all.

"I'm not hungry. I'll eat when I come back."

Du Shaojie responded and ran out of the yard.

There are people coming and going on the street. It is the rush hour for people to get off work, and the smell of food is wafting everywhere in Chunfeng Lane.

A cold wind blew and he couldn't help shivering. It looked like the weather was going to change.

I arrived at Su Dapeng's house and knocked on the door, only to see that he was preparing dinner.

"Shaojie, you're back? Sit down for a while and wait until I'm done with my work."

Su Dapeng had two dark circles under his eyes, obviously he didn't get enough rest.

Du Shaojie didn't know how to comfort the other person for a moment, so he waved his hand gently and walked into the kitchen with the other person.

"I say, what are you doing? It looks like a garbage dump."

After just one glance, Du Shaojie couldn't help but want to curse.

The whole kitchen was in a mess, with a pile of things on the chopping board, stove and floor. Rotten vegetable leaves gave off a foul smell, pots and bowls were not washed, and spice jars were scattered everywhere.

He stepped forward and kicked the other person, saying, "Get out of the way, let me do it."

Perhaps it is a professional habit, Du Shaojie simply cannot stand the dirtiness and mess in the kitchen.

He spent more than half an hour cleaning up the kitchen and forced Su Dapeng to clean all the pots and pans.

The kitchen prepared a few potatoes, a handful of leeks and a few eggs. The staple food was white flour steamed buns, which had been stored for a few days and were dry and hard.

"Dapeng, what's the situation?"

Du Shaojie asked while cutting vegetables.

"The deceased's family is making a big fuss, saying they want that idiot and my father to pay with their lives. My father is responsible for this, but the responsibility is not big. How did it get to the point where he has to pay with his life?"

Su Dapeng had never dealt with such a difficult matter before and was very confused.

"The crying child gets the milk. The reason for making a fuss is to get benefits. It's true that the shotgun belonged to your father, but it didn't go off accidentally in his hands, so his responsibility is relatively minor."

It is normal for the family members of the deceased to make a fuss. It is right to make appropriate compensation within a reasonable range, but if the other party asks for too much, there is no need to pay attention.

For Su Dapeng, the important thing now is not to panic but to have a clear mind.

Du Shaojie talked a lot and copied out a dish of [Home-cooked Potato Chips] and a dish of [Scrambled Eggs with Leeks].

The steamed buns in the steamer were already hot, and he asked Su Dapeng to bring them into the house.

"I didn't know you were coming. There are only a few steamed buns at home. How about some noodles?"

Su Dapeng guessed that the other party had not eaten either, but he didn't know how to cook at all, so he felt embarrassed.

"Stop talking nonsense and go eat with your grandpa and grandma. I'm leaving first and will come back later."

Du Shaojie already knew the details, so there was no point in staying any longer.

It's impossible for two grown men to look at each other and shed tears, right? The scene was too beautiful, and he couldn't imagine it at all.

After leaving Su Dapeng's house, Du Shaojie went back to eat a few bites of food, then rode his bicycle straight to the Electric Power Industry Bureau. He had no way to deal with this matter, so he could only seek external help.

As for who could possibly help, it seemed that the only person he knew was Liao Yongxin.

Liao Yongxin has a wide network of contacts and a good relationship with Du Shaojie. In order to give it a try, he decided to go and ask the other party.

　Thanks to the big guy, Ling Guangshan (100 points) for the reward!
