Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1199 Zhou Xiao'e

Liu Guangtian smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know when the time comes. It must be a good thing. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

In the evening, the two came to a tavern.

Liu Guangtian found a secluded corner and sat down, ordered some delicious dishes and a few bottles of wine, then poured a glass of wine for Chen Fang and took up a glass himself, drank it first and said, "Chen Fang, I'll drink first. Thank you for coming to drink with me."

Chen Fang also drank it all, wiped his mouth, and said, "Guangtian, don't be polite to me. We are all brothers. Just tell me what's going on."

Liu Guangtian put down his wine glass and said in a low voice: "Chen Fang, let me tell you, I recently met a very powerful person, who can call the wind and rain in the city.

He is now particularly interested in the core blueprint of our factory's printer. As you know, if he can get his hands on this blueprint, it will be a big deal."

Chen Fang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said nervously: "Guangtian, don't think too much. This blueprint is a factory secret. If you are caught stealing the blueprint, it will be a serious crime that will land you in jail."

Liu Guangtian waved his hands and said, "Chen Fang, don't panic. I have thought about it. As long as you can help me with a small favor, you will definitely get some benefits after the matter is completed.

That big shot said that as long as we can get the blueprints, we will not be treated unfairly. Then, you can have whatever you want, and maybe you can even rise to prominence with him."

Chen Fang frowned and said hesitantly, "Guangtian, this risk is too great. I don't want to sacrifice myself for such a small benefit. You should find someone else."

When Liu Guangtian saw Chen Fang refused, he became anxious. He poured another glass of wine for Chen Fang and said, "Chen Fang, think about it again. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you will never get it again. You have worked in the factory for so long, don't you want to stand out? As long as we are careful, we will definitely not be discovered."

However, Chen Fang's attitude was extremely firm. He looked at Liu Guangtian, shook his head slowly, and said, "Guangtian, don't say anything, I can't do this.

Although I don't have big ambitions, I know what I can do and what I can't do. Stealing confidential drawings from the factory is a criminal act. If I get caught, my life will be ruined. I have a family to take care of, so I can't take this risk. "

After saying that, Chen Fang stood up, picked up his coat, and without even looking at Liu Guangtian again, he turned around and left the pub.

Liu Guangtian did not get anxious or angry because of Chen Fang's refusal. He knew Chen Fang's temper very well.

Although Chen Fang seemed to have some minor flaws, his biggest weakness was that he was afraid of his wife. Chen Fang's wife, Zhou Xiao'e, was notoriously greedy for money. Her eyes would light up whenever she saw something profitable. Liu Guangtian thought that if he could convince Zhou Xiao'e to persuade Chen Fang, Chen Fang would be obedient and act according to his plan.

After figuring this out, Liu Guangtian drank slowly. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, still thinking about how to talk to Zhou Xiaoe. After all, he spent two dollars on this wine, so he couldn't let it go to waste. While drinking, he thought to himself that he had to find a suitable time to meet Zhou Xiaoe and explain the "benefits" of this matter to her. As long as he could make her excited by the huge benefits, she would do him a favor.

After eating and drinking, Liu Guangtian paid the bill and staggered towards Chen Fang's house.

At this time, Chen Fang had returned home. As soon as he opened the door, Zhou Xiao'e came up like a gust of wind. She sniffed hard and smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Chen Fang. Her face immediately fell, her eyes widened, and she cursed at Chen Fang: "You dead ghost, you just hang out outside all day! I work hard at home and eat coarse food, but you are so good, you spend money outside and have money to drink! Don't you want to live anymore?"

Chen Fang lowered his head and dared not say a word when facing Zhou Xiao'e's scolding. He knew that he had never had any status in front of his wife. Whenever Zhou Xiao'e lost her temper, he could only accept the scolding obediently.

Seeing that Chen Fang didn't say anything, Zhou Xiao'e became even more excited. She put her hands on her hips and continued to scold, "Look at you, a grown man, working in the factory for so many years, what have you earned? You're not as good as Lao Wang next door. He knows how to buy new clothes for his wife and children, but you? You only know how to spend your money on drinking!"

Chen Fang sighed helplessly and whispered, "Xiao'e, Liu Guangtian asked me to drink today, so I can't refuse."

When Zhou Xiao'e heard Liu Guangtian's name, she snorted with disdain: "Liu Guangtian? What good can he get from you? That guy is idle all day long and does not work properly. What future can you have by hanging out with him?"

Chen Fang scratched his head helplessly and whispered, "He wants me to help with something, but I haven't agreed to what it is yet." When Zhou Xiao'e heard this, her eyes widened and she asked, "Help? What help? Don't get involved, our family can't stand it." Chen Fang looked at Zhou Xiao'e's aggressive eyes and was afraid that she would worry, so he just shook his head and didn't tell the truth.

The next morning, sunlight shone into the house through the gaps in the window.

Zhou Xiao'e got up from the bed sleepily, stretched, and walked towards the kitchen in slippers.

At this time, Chen Fangzheng came out of the kitchen with breakfast and put it on the table. Zhou Xiaoe walked closer and saw that the breakfast was just cornmeal porridge, and her face changed instantly.

Her originally chubby face turned red with anger, her eyes were as big as copper bells, the corners of her mouth were turned down, and she slammed the table with both hands, causing the dishes and chopsticks on the table to clang.

"What is this? Just give me cornmeal porridge? I work so hard to live with you, and you give me this?"

Zhou Xiao'e shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice so sharp that it seemed to penetrate the walls and echoed throughout the house.

There was no way. Zhou Xiao'e married Chen Fang in the first place, just to live a good life together.

Facing Zhou Xiao'e's anger, Chen explained helplessly: "Xiao'e, our expenses this month have already exceeded our budget. Let's just make do with what we have for now, and we'll improve things after we get paid next month."

Zhou Xiao'e was furious when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips and leaned forward, as if she wanted to swallow Chen Fang in one gulp. "Overspending? How dare you say that! You're a grown man, but you can't even support your wife, and you still let me live with you on a diet. I'm so unlucky to marry you!"

As she cursed, she pointed at Chen Fang's nose with her finger, and saliva splashed out of her mouth.

"Look at the woman next door, she wears gold and silver all day long and eats the best food. Look at me, I have never enjoyed a single day of happiness with you. What's wrong with me wanting to eat an egg? Is that too much?"

Zhou Xiao'e became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She paced back and forth in the room, her slippers slapping the ground, making a "pa pa" sound, and every step seemed to be stepping on Chen Fang's heart.

Chen Fang stood there, head down, like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to breathe. But Zhou Xiao'e was still unyielding, she said angrily: "Don't you think about it, when I married you, my family was a hundred percent against it.

My father and mother both think that you are incompetent and that I will suffer if I follow you. But I was blinded by greed and broke through the many obstacles at home. I was determined to be with you. What did I want? I just thought that you were honest and reliable and could give me a stable life.

What's the result? Look at me now, you can't even give me an egg to eat. Is this the peaceful life you gave me? "

As she spoke, tears welled up in Zhou Xiao'e's eyes. She wiped her eyes with her hands and continued to complain: "I am busy at home every day, doing laundry, cooking, and cleaning, and I am so tired that my back and waist ache.

You are so good, you are so carefree outside, and you don't even know how to earn more money. I just want to eat an egg to replenish my body, but this has become a luxury. Do you think I am easy to bully?"

This is what PUA is.

Chen Fang felt guilty after hearing what Zhou Xiao'e said. He stammered, "Xiao'e, I know it's my fault that I made you suffer.

I will work hard to make money and let you live a good life. Please don't be angry, okay? "

Zhou Xiao'e didn't want to listen to his nagging any more. She waved her hand at him impatiently and said loudly, "Alright, stop pretending to be nice to me. Go back to work. I'm upset just looking at you."

Chen Fang sighed helplessly, picked up his things silently, and turned to go out. Zhou Xiao'e looked at Chen Fang's back as he left, still mumbling complaints. After Chen Fang left, she returned to the room, found the biscuits she had hidden in the corner of the cabinet, sat on the bed, and ate them while sulking.

After eating the biscuits, Zhou Xiao'e felt depressed, so she got up and went out to the nearby park. The park was bustling with people, and a group of middle-aged women were dancing happily in the open space. Zhou Xiao'e stood aside, watching bored.

At this time, Liu Guangtian had already figured out Zhou Xiaoe's daily schedule and was waiting for her in the park early. When Liu Guangtian saw Zhou Xiaoe appear, his eyes lit up and he immediately greeted her with a smile on his face, saying, "Sister-in-law, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhou Xiao'e frowned slightly when she saw Liu Guangtian and said, "Why are you waiting for me here? What's the matter?"

Liu Guangtian smiled and said mysteriously, "Sister-in-law, do you want to know what the good news I told you yesterday is? This is a chance for you to make a fortune."

When Zhou Xiao'e heard the words "get rich", her eyes lit up, and the impatience on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by curiosity and anticipation. She quickly said, "What good news? Tell me quickly."

Liu Guangtian looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and told Chen Fang that he wanted to get the core drawings of the printer from the Orchid Automobile Factory.

When Zhou Xiao'e heard this, she immediately realized that Chen Fang was being asked to steal. She shook her head like a rattle and immediately refused, "No, this is illegal. If we get caught, Chen Fang will be finished, and so will our family."

Liu Guangtian was not in a hurry. With a confident smile on his face, he said, "Sister-in-law, don't panic. I have already planned it out. As long as we are clean, there will be no problem.

Just think about it, if this thing succeeds, the gains will be huge. Moreover, I won't let you work in vain, I am willing to give you 100 yuan. This is not a small amount of money. With this money, you can buy whatever you want and you won't have to worry about food and clothing. "

After hearing what Liu Guangtian said, Zhou Xiao'e began to make some calculations. One hundred yuan was indeed very attractive to her. With this money, she could buy beautiful clothes, eat delicious food, and show off in front of her neighbors. However, the risk of stealing the blueprints made her a little scared.

She frowned and said hesitantly, "This is too risky. If something goes wrong, it won't be solved by money. I can't hurt Chen Fang for this little money."

Liu Guangtian saw Zhou Xiaoe's hesitation and continued to persuade her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I also have my own information channels in the factory and know when security is most lax.

As long as Chen Fang does what I say, he will be able to produce the drawings without anyone noticing.

Besides, only the three of us know about this, so as long as we keep it a secret, who will find out?"

Zhou Xiao'e gritted her teeth and said with some concern: "No matter how nice you say it is, it is illegal after all. I have to think about it carefully and can't make a decision so hastily."

When Liu Guangtian heard what Zhou Xiao'e said, he understood a little bit. He knew that Zhou Xiao'e was negotiating the price with him in disguise. Liu Guangtian's mind was working quickly. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I also know that this matter makes you embarrassed.

How about this, I'll raise it to 150 yuan, which is the highest price I can offer, what do you think?"

When Zhou Xiao'e heard this, she calculated in her mind that although one hundred and fifty yuan was not a small amount, it was still a little far from her expectations.

She curled her lips and said, "One hundred and fifty yuan won't do. The risk is too great. It has to be at least two hundred yuan. If it's less than that, I won't dare let Chen Fang do it."

Liu Guangtian looked embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, I really can't afford the extra fifty yuan you added. I just scraped together this much money to do this. Can you give me a lower price?"

Zhou Xiao'e crossed her arms and said firmly, "No, two hundred yuan, not a cent less. If you think it's too expensive, then go find someone else."

Liu Guangtian looked at Zhou Xiao'e's determined eyes and knew that if he didn't agree, the matter would probably be a failure.

He gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great decision, and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll grit my teeth and give you 180 yuan. This is all my belongings, you must make sure Chen Fang gets things done."

When Zhou Xiao'e heard the price of 180 yuan, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, it's settled then.

However, I have to make it clear that if there is any danger, this matter must be stopped immediately, and Chen Fang must not be involved."
