Chapter 69 Opportunity
Ma Lizhen gave Zhang Feng three days.

However, she was afraid that Shang Xiaojun would come back, so she ran upstairs to look for him the next night.

It’s just that the Zhang Feng brothers were not there. They had switched shifts with others and would not be back until the next day.

Ma Lizhen had no choice but to hold it in for another day, and finally found someone upstairs.

Zhang Feng didn't sleep much last night, so he had dark circles under his eyes and looked very depressed.

Ma Lizhen looked at her with disgust.

"What on earth have you two been doing these days? I told you it was urgent, but you still ran out, making it hard for me to find you."

Zhang Feng yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "Didn't you say it would take three days? It's not even three days yet."

Ma Lizhen was speechless. Thinking that she would need this person's help, she suppressed her anger and said patiently, "How are things going now? Have you two discussed it?"

Zhang Feng looked at Ma Lizhen and said, "My brother said we have to add another hundred."

Six hundred!

She only asked Boss Zhou for two thousand, but these people wanted six hundred, which is almost one third of the total.

Ma Lizhen was unhappy, but still nodded.

"When do you have time, let's plan it out."

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Tonight, get off work early and come to our place, and we can chat slowly."

In order to make it easier for the three of them to sleep, the Zhang Feng brothers rented a house in the county. If they could go there, they would naturally do that.

Ma Lizhen: "Okay, I'll leave work early and go there."

She knew very well what the Zhang Feng brothers were thinking, but what did it matter? Even if they broke up, she wouldn't care about it once or twice.

Ma Lizhen went downstairs in her high heels.

She returned to the dance hall downstairs through the back door and went to the kitchen to do something, but after looking around, she felt something was wrong.

"Where's Xie Simei?"

The young apprentice who was preparing the food said, "Aren't you washing the dishes?" He stretched his neck to take a look and said in confusion, "He was just there."

Ma Lizhen frowned, threw away the apron in her hand and was about to go out to look for someone when Xie Simei came back from the front with a few plates that she had just collected in her hand.

When Ma Lizhen saw her, she crossed her arms and asked unhappily, "You are from the kitchen, what are you doing running to the front?"

Fourth sister Xie said nothing and silently put the plate into the sink.

Seeing that she ignored her, Ma Lizhen snorted, approached Xie Simei and whispered, "What? You don't want to work under me anymore, you want to work in the front?"

Xie Simei: “Yes.”

Ma Lizhen laughed and said proudly, "If I don't ask to release you, do you think the two foremen in front will have the courage to take you? Don't dream anymore! I warn you, keep your mouth shut and don't hang out with the two new girls in front. One day when I'm happy, I might let you go."

Ma Lizhen turned and left.

Fourth sister Xie breathed a sigh of relief while holding the rag.

Just now, Ma Lizhen looked like she was trying to find her with a ferocious look on her face, and she even thought that her eavesdropping had been exposed.

It seems not now.

That man was still thinking about the two new girls in front of him.

A dog will always eat shit. I don’t know how many people she has harmed secretly besides me.

Xie Simei washed the dishes for a while, and when no one was paying attention, she asked a colleague who had a watch, "What time is it now?"

The man said, "It's almost nine o'clock. We're going to be busy soon."

From nine to twelve o'clock is the peak time for people in the dance hall.

It’s so late already!

Fourth sister Xie glanced at Ma Lizhen, who was making pastries in front of the oven with her two apprentices, and felt secretly anxious.

This person has not left since he came down earlier.

Originally, he had thought that while she was away he could go out and make a phone call to inform Du Juan that Ma Lizhen was going to Zhang Feng's dormitory tonight, but he never found the opportunity.

If she didn't go out to make a call, the public telephone booth would be closed. If she waited until Ma Lizhen left before riding her bike over, Xie Simei was afraid something might happen.

Thinking of this, Fourth Sister Xie gritted her teeth, washed her hands and prepared to go out.

But just as I got to the door, Ma Lizhen stopped me and asked, "Where are you going?"

Fourth sister Xie held her stomach and said, "My stomach is not feeling well. I want to go to the toilet."

Ma Lizhen glanced at her and warned, "Don't be lazy."

Fourth sister Xie said nothing and walked away quickly.

When she got outside, she ran quickly, wanting to rush to the phone booth outside to call Du Juan as soon as possible.

Time was too tight and it was impossible to tell her in person, so I could only ask the other party to bring a message to her.

I just don't know if I can make my sentence clear, and whether Du Juan can understand it.

Just as she was thinking this, Xie Simei bumped into someone at the corner without paying attention.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry."

Xie Simei didn't even look at who she bumped into and walked away immediately, but her arm was grabbed.

Fu Bo looked at the girl who was staring at him in surprise and asked, "You are Xie Simei from the kitchen of the dance hall, right?"

Xie Simei was puzzled, "Who are you?"

"My name is Fu Bo, Shang Xiaojun's brother."

It turned out to be Shang Xiaojun's group. No wonder they looked familiar, but...

Fourth Sister Xie pulled her hand away and apologized again, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the road just now. Are you okay? I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first."

Even Shang Xiaojun's brother Xie Simei didn't dare to tell him about the matter. Moreover, it was heard that Shang Xiaojun's gang had split into two factions, so it was hard to say which side this person was on.

Fu Bo stopped her and wouldn't let her leave.

"Are you going to call my sister-in-law?" Fu Bo lowered his voice, "About Ma Lizhen? My sister-in-law asked me to pick you up..."

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Du Juan received Fu Bo's call.

Shang Rong was worried and insisted on following her to the public telephone booth.

Fu Bo told Ma Lizhen on the phone that she was going to Zhang Feng's place tonight.

"Sister-in-law, they have already made an appointment, but it is hard to say when Ma Lizhen will go there. The Zhang Feng brothers change shifts at 10 pm, and the dance hall closes at 4 am. She should leave early."

Du Juan: "I'll come over now."

In this day and age without mobile phones, it is very difficult to communicate. If the phone booth is closed, you have to go to the door if you want to give a notification. Du Juan thinks she should go there in advance.

Tonight might be the best time to take revenge on Ma Lizhen.

After hanging up the phone, Du Juan helped Shang Rong back to the yard and told her on the way that something happened to a friend of hers and she needed to go out for a while.

Shang Rong must be worried about you going out so late.

She asked Du Juan, "Did you find evidence against your sister-in-law?"

Although Shang Rong is blind, she has very sensitive hearing.

The last time, Xie Simei and Du Juan were talking in the main room, and she heard some of it in her room.

Du Juan paused and nodded, "Yes."

Shang Rong sighed, "It's very dangerous without Xiaojun."

Du Juan: "Don't worry, Fu Bo is here."

Shang Rong: "Do you have to go?"

Du Juan: "This is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, things will probably get complicated."

Shang Rong squeezed her hand and said, "Well, after all, some people won't appreciate it even if you let them go, and will even become worse. If that's the case, it's better to deal with them right from the start to avoid leaving behind any more trouble.

Go call Hu Dong and ask him to accompany you there."
