Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 131 He really is no good!

Hearing the crowd's indignant words, Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "This...it's not easy to investigate!"

In theory, it is indeed difficult to investigate.

Because the other party may not report it personally, they only need to reveal their steel rolling mill identity or do something that will make people hate them, and it will naturally attract a third party to come forward.

But if this person makes a foolish mistake and goes to report it, then he will inevitably disappear from everyone's sight for a period of time.

However, this is only one possibility!

Shen Zhishou didn't know if Wang Chenggong could think of this, but he felt that Wang Chenggong's lack of reaction now did not mean he would never react.

"Indeed, it's a bit difficult to investigate!"

After some thought and discussion, everyone came to the same conclusion.

"However, no matter how difficult it is to investigate, we still have to investigate!"

Zhao Meng was still furious.

He didn't want to be reported by someone someday.

This bastard must be transferred to the transportation department.

Shen Zhishou sat to the side, looking thoughtful.

In fact, whether or not he is investigated, and whether or not the investigation is successful, does not have much impact on him.

But being stabbed in the back by his own people is not something Shen Zhishou can easily get over.

When the bell rang to signal the end of the workday, Shen Zhishou carried the clams and a mackerel he had bought home.

Wang Chenggong is still repairing his car!

As the section chief, his responsibilities were exceptionally heavy.

Many of the vehicles in the steel rolling mill's transportation department are old machines; problems are commonplace, and it would be an anomaly if they didn't.

In fact, this situation is not limited to steel rolling mills; other factories are in similar situations.

They don't get the best cars.

Despite being a large factory with tens of thousands of employees and being in the steel industry, the steel rolling mill is not among the top factories in China.

Moreover, our domestic truck production hasn't even caught up yet!

New vehicles are prioritized for use by important units and the military.

After leaving the steel rolling mill, Shen Zhishou went to Dongmianhua Hutong first to deliver some seafood to Lan Ninghui and teach her how to cook it before leaving.

Lan Ninghui watched Shen Zhishou's departing figure, her expression slightly moved.

But this slight emotion quickly faded away.

No matter how good Shen Zhishou is, he's someone else's man!

All she wanted was a child!

When Shen Zhishou returned to the courtyard house, the amount of seafood he had was back to normal.

It feels so good to have a sense of having inventory in the space.

As I walked to the outside of the back room, I heard voices coming from inside. Lou Xiao'e had returned to the courtyard and was talking to Yu Li. Judging from her tone, she was in a good mood.

In other words, the Lou family's problem has been basically resolved.

Yan Bugui was still there on this side of the doorway.

The gatekeepers of the courtyard houses truly live up to their name.

"Hey, Xiao Shen, you've gone to Tianjin again?"

"Ah, yes, the factory had a transport mission to Tianjin, so I bought some during my free time!"

"This driver's job is really good; at least he can always buy some good things from different places to try!"

"Teacher Yan, you're absolutely right!"

"In this life, you can't let yourself suffer!"

Shen Zhishou smiled and spoke, which was a nod to Yan Bugui.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui was just about to explain his reasoning about scheming when Shen Zhishou said he had to go home quickly and wouldn't talk to him anymore.

Watching Shen Zhishou's hurried departure, Yan Bugui felt a tightness in his chest.

He let out a long sigh of relief, stopped guarding the doorway, put his hands behind his back, and walked home.

Yan Bugui felt that his theory of "you won't get poor from eating or dressing, but you will get poor if you don't plan ahead" was correct. But why did Shen Zhishou not plan ahead, yet his life was still thriving?

Filled with doubts, Yan Bugui returned to the Yan family home.

When Shen Zhishou returned home, the first thing he saw was a very familiar handbag in the corner; it was the one Lou Xiao'e often carried.

Wearing.

"Sister Xiao'e!"

"Hey, Xiao Shen's back!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Shen Zhishou with a smile and addressed him as "Little Shen."

Shen Zhishou rolled his eyes speechlessly. This older sister seems different since she came back this time!

"Xiao'e, you two chat first, I'll go cook!"

Yu Li also smiled and gave Shen Zhishou a meaningful look.

After she and Shen Zhishou took the net bag containing seafood from each other and went into the kitchen, Lou Xiao'e beckoned to Shen Zhishou with her finger, signaling him to come over.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Zhishou reached Lou Xiao'e's side, picked her up, and sat her on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

"If you ever betray me in the future, I'll fight you to the death!"

Lou Xiao'e stared intently at Shen Zhishou.

Shen Zhishou didn't swear an oath, but simply looked at her and said, "Sister Xiao'e, don't worry, you won't have the chance to fight me!"

Although Shen Zhishou wasn't anything extraordinary, at least he was absolutely devoted to his woman, never abandoning her.

"That would be best!"

Lou Xiao'e immediately broke free from Shen Zhishou's hand, went over and dragged the handbag in front of Shen Zhishou, and unzipped it.

A leather bag brimming with black 10s!

Shen Zhishou was instantly flustered.

"Sister Xiao'e, did you rob your own house?"

"What?!"

Lou Xiao'e snorted, "That night when you took me home, I talked to my dad for a bit, and then he vomited blood. Then, last night he boarded a plane and flew south!"

"He took almost all the gold and jewelry, as well as some US dollars. He didn't need that cash, so he left it all with me and my mom!"

"Didn't your mother come with you?"

Shen Zhishou was slightly taken aback. This Lou Tanshi didn't actually leave with Lou Bancheng?

"My aunt is still alive. If my mother goes with her, she'll have to live at her mercy. She's had a comfortable life these past few years, and she won't be happy to have to be subservient again!"

"This is only part of the money; there's still quite a bit more. I'll move it over little by little, and you can keep it for me!"

"Otherwise, if Xu Damao is found, all this money will be gone!"

Lou Xiao'e clearly distrusted Xu Damao.

Aren't you worried I'll take your money?

"I'm all yours now, what can I do if you try to take advantage of me?"

Lou Xiao'e replied dismissively.

She didn't believe Shen Zhishou would covet her money. Although he wasn't rich, he had a strong backbone. Why would someone with a proper job work as a porter at the train station on their days off?

But Shen Zhishou still went anyway, and he left early and returned late!

People like that have high aspirations!

Although the amount of money was considerable, it was not enough to make Shen Zhishou change his principles.

Of course, Lou Xiao'e was also thinking to herself, if she had misjudged someone, then just consider her blind!

A lifetime can be very long or very short.

Anyway, it's all the same, it's only once a year!

"Sister Xiao'e, you have a really good eye for people!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep this money for you. Also, if a suitable money-making opportunity comes along, I'll help you make some investments!"

"Of course, as your investor, I'll take half of the final profits!"

Seeing this money, Shen Zhishou knew that he had the capital to hoard and speculate!

He'll have to keep busy from now on.

He had no intention of touching antiques or cultural relics.

However, other things can get involved.

For example, gold!

Buying gold now and holding it for later will always result in a profit, no matter how much.

Besides that, there's the wild seafood that Shen Zhishou wants!

Of course, if you have the opportunity to go to Northeast China, you can stock up on things like wild ginseng, deer antler, bear bile, tiger bone, and tiger penis.

Speaking of these medicinal herbs, Shen Zhishou recalled the Tongrentang Angong Niuhuang Wan, which became very popular in later generations, as well as tiger bone wine.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Zhishou realized that he had gone down a slightly wrong path!

Storing wild, high-end seafood is a way to get rich.

But there's more than one way to get rich!

Good wine these days is also a good choice!

With a broader perspective, the world instantly blossoms with light.

There's no point in keeping Lou Xiao'e's money. Once it's spent and becomes a scarce commodity in later generations, its value will increase many times over.

"I'll give you everything!"

"As long as you continue to treat me well!"

Lou Xiao'e seems to be a bit love-struck right now.

When watching TV dramas or reading novels, Shen Zhishou gets angry when he sees people acting foolishly because they're in love. But when the object of their infatuation is themselves, the feeling is different.

"Sister Xiao'e, you really are my lucky charm! Don't worry, you'll see later that all this money of yours will multiply, like it'll give birth to babies!"

Shen Zhishou suddenly realized that there was no need to specifically focus on hoarding certain things. Many things from that era would multiply in price decades later.

What he needs to worry about now is whether the space is big enough.

"Is it really that amazing?"

"Absolutely!"

Shen Zhishou smiled, "However, it's impossible in the short term. Our country is currently under a planned economy, and the prices of many things are fixed. If you want your money to increase, you'll have to wait another ten or twenty years!"

"In thirty or forty years, it will have changed even more!"

"But after waiting so long, we're all getting old!"

Thinking about this, Shen Zhishou suddenly realized an important issue: hoarding these things could indeed make him rich, but it didn't really have much to do with him personally.

It's the end of 1962 now. Thirty years from now, he'll be over fifty!

Therefore, if this money is converted into goods, and you want to make a higher profit when you sell them, you will have to be reluctant to sell them, because scarcity drives up prices!

Thinking about it this way, Shen Zhishou sighed, feeling a little melancholy.

Judging from his approach, he's probably going to make a contribution for his descendants!

The question is, why should we?

Sure enough, if you want to enjoy life, you still have to stick to your original idea: buy and sell to make a profit!

Fruits from the south will definitely not be cheap when they reach the north.

In other words, he needs a few white gloves to ship his goods.

He can't possibly get his hands on something rare in Beijing and then have to go out and find a buyer himself, can he?

But if we need to find a middleman to ship the goods, then another issue arises: we can't reveal our identities, lest we get ourselves into trouble.

Shen Zhishou sighed. Sure enough, making money is too difficult.

In this particular era, the regulations are too strict.

One wrong move and you're starting all over again.

If all else fails, I'll have to go to the pigeon market myself.

In short, safety first!

Lou Xiao'e listened to Shen Zhishou's mutterings and couldn't stop smiling. If they could still be together when they were in their fifties or sixties, then even if the money was not much, she would be extremely satisfied.

Why are you thinking so far ahead?

"The most important thing is to live life to the fullest in the present!"

Lou Xiao'e reached out and poked Shen Zhishou's forehead. "Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about Xu Damao and me. We need to get a divorce. Do you have any ideas?"

"have!"

Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "I heard that Xu Damao has many lovers in the countryside. Sister Xiao'e, have someone investigate. There's no need to expose the affair; just use it as leverage to get the divorce done!"

However, to Shen Zhishou's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e slapped his leg in anger.

"Men, they're all the same!"

Shen Zhishou remained silent.

Others may refute this, but he cannot.

Because he really isn't a good person!

Although Lou Xiao'e was angry because of Xu Damao, her eyes were also filled with murderous intent when she looked at Shen Zhishou.

Shen Zhishou could only force a smile and dared not explain at all.
