Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

That's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!

It's like killing someone to their face and destroying their spirit!

Qin Dashan steeled his heart and rushed over to snatch it by force, but before Zhang Dabiao could make a move, he was stopped by Liu Guangqi, Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng and others.

They're also the kind of people who watch funerals and aren't afraid of big funerals!

"Hey old man, you're resorting to robbery just because you can't win an argument?"

"Hey, try taking one from me again!"

"You're bullying our brother Da Biao, aren't you? Did you ask us first?"

The crowd quickly restrained him; they couldn't let him snatch the marriage certificate away, they were still waiting to see the show.

If Zhang Dabiao could really pull off that scene, that would be hilarious!

Director Wang...did not speak.

Sha Zhu stood there trembling with rage, saying indignantly, "Zhang Dabiao, how could you be so cruel?"

"Are you trying to force Sister Qin to her death?!"

Zhang Dabiao said with an indifferent expression, "It's my stuff. I won't use it to extort money. I can use it however I want."

"It's not illegal for me to develop photos; it's illegal to extort money from others."

"As for calling me ruthless?"

"When the Jia family conspired with Yi Zhonghai to take my house and workplace, I didn't see you, Sha Zhu, say they were vicious, did I? I didn't see you step forward to uphold justice either?"

"Qin Huairu is in trouble, and you're all that scrambling to show off? Who the hell are you to the Jia family?"

At this moment, Zhang Dabiao stood up with a cold smile.

"Haven't you figured out the root cause of everything that's happened?"

"All of this is because the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai plotted against me!"

"We must grasp the root cause and fundamental contradiction of the problem!"

"You've never cared whether I live or die!"

"If you do the first day of the month, then I'll do the fifteenth!"

"An eye for an eye, you brought this on yourselves!"

"You..." Sha Zhu didn't know what to do, so he could only look to Yi Zhonghai for help. Yi Zhonghai shrank his neck. Qin Huairu and the Qin family's affairs had little to do with him, and he didn't want to get into trouble.

Sha Zhu then looked at Director Wang.

Director Wang, concerned about stability, was about to say something, but Zhang Dabiao stopped him.

"Director Wang, this is a private matter between me, Qin Huairu, and the Qin family."

"They're trying to extort me, and they're the ones who owe the Zhang family something."

"I didn't ask them to repay the money, I didn't force them to fulfill the marriage contract, and I didn't extort them. My family never took the marriage contract seriously."

"They're the ones who deserved to mess with me, so it's only right that I retaliate!"

"If I break the law, you can arrest me and take me back, but everything I've done is reasonable and legal, so I'll handle the rest myself."

"Is it okay?"

Director Wang was stunned for a moment; this meant they didn't trust him.

In the end, all I could do was nod.

"Alright, you guys handle this yourselves, but Da Biao..."

"I won't even bother with any 'forgive and forget' talk, you..."

"Take it easy."

That means—

Don't cause anyone to die.

Zhang Dabiao nodded. If Director Wang intervened forcefully, this matter would indeed be difficult to handle.

It's not worth it to fight to the death with Director Wang over the Qin family.

Finally, Qin Dashan left with a dark face, ignoring Qin Huairu's calls. It seemed he was going back to the village to figure out a solution.

Qin Huairu turned around and glared fiercely at Zhang Dabiao, but Zhang Dabiao shrugged indifferently.

"You asked for trouble, so you deserve it."

Zhang Dabiao still had to wait for Qinjiatun's reaction to see how this matter would ultimately end, but he was certain that getting the marriage certificate back would come at a huge price.

Do you think you can settle this matter for just a hundred or so yuan?

I haven't had enough fun yet!

Let's wait and see. I'll scan the marriage certificate as a backup when I get back to my place!

Director Wang shook his head: "Does anyone else have anything else to say? If not, let's adjourn the meeting."

Day after day, she didn't know what to say.

Let's call Zhang Dabiao over tomorrow and have a good talk with him at the neighborhood office.

Although you didn't break the law, but...

She didn't know how to describe it, but you didn't break the law, yet you've created a huge hole in the sky, and now you're still using this as a tool to keep poking at it.

Couldn't you have been a little gentler in your methods of revenge?

Or you could have given me a heads-up beforehand.

She was really exhausted.

Just as everyone was about to leave after the meeting, Yi Zhonghai, unwilling to give up, suddenly spoke up.

"Zhang Dabiao, you say what you did was reasonable and legal..."

Director Wang and the neighbors who were about to leave frowned. Was this never going to end?

Yi Zhonghai just couldn't swallow that insult; he was determined to take down Zhang Dabiao today!

necessary!

"Then you should treat the young people to dinner on the second night of the Lunar New Year—"

"A dozen or so meat dishes, grapes, pear syrup candy, hawthorn strips, milk tablets, raisins, grassland yogurt, milk, fruit juice... Where did all of this come from?"

"You, Zhang Dabiao, are engaging in speculation and profiteering!"

"Extremely serious speculation and profiteering!"

"You've broken the law!"

"Director Wang, Zhang Dabiao is engaging in speculation and profiteering; he's broken the law!"

Zhang Dabiao's face darkened. This matter...

He really couldn't refuse.

Because he really didn't think that much at the time, and afterwards he felt it was a bit exaggerated, but how could a young person treat others to such a meager meal?

He didn't panic, because although these things were rare, they were available in hotels outside; it was just that grapes were hard to get.

If you really investigate, it's a bit difficult to explain where it came from, but you can deny it to the death and push it back to buying it or your father's connections. It all depends on how serious the law enforcement officers are.

Zhang Dabiao looked at Yi Zhonghai with a half-smile: "Yi Zhonghai, you've already been registered in my little notebook once. Are you sure you still want to report me?"

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth. He had suffered such a huge loss, so why was Zhang Dabiao completely unharmed?

He's already poured in most of his life savings!

Yi Zhonghai, having gone all out, pointed at Zhang Dabiao and shouted, "Director Wang, I'm filing a formal complaint against Zhang Dabiao for speculation and profiteering!"

"Investigate him! Zhang the fortune teller didn't leave behind any assets!"

"And Zhang Dabiao's family didn't light a fire to cook on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year!"

"So many hot dishes were just thrown out in no time! They weren't freshly made at home. He must be a profiteer! Otherwise, he couldn't possibly have so many supplies!"

Director Wang became serious and asked about Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong.

The truth couldn't be hidden any longer, so the two of them confessed.

Now Director Wang could no longer ignore it and filed a formal complaint about the massive amount of supplies of unknown origin.

This absolutely needs to be investigated!

Zhang Dabiao was also a bit of a headache, hoping that his lame excuse would be enough to get by.

After all, speculation can be a big deal or a small deal, and I've said no matter what, I haven't sold it to outsiders!

If I don't buy low and sell high, then it's not speculation. I'm buying it for my own consumption!

As for asking me where I got it from, cats have their own way of doing things, and dogs have their own way of doing things; it's none of anyone else's business.

Just as he was about to explain, Liu Guangqi walked over.

Then he took out a small certificate and handed it directly to Director Wang.

"Director Wang, this is my brother Da Biao's temporary purchasing permit."

"He was a temporary purchasing agent for our factory, a temporary worker."

"So he has a lot of supplies, is that illegal?"

Director Wang picked up the certificate and saw that it was a temporary purchasing certificate for Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and its affiliated comprehensive utilization plant, and the purchasing agent was Zhang Dabiao.

The official seal is complete, and the certificate will be issued on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month before the Lunar New Year?

Director Wang nodded: "The documents are fine, but this..."

Liu Guangqi quickly explained, "Before the New Year, Grandpa Zhang was dying. Before he passed away, he mentioned to me that some of his friends would send Da Biao some nice things and take care of him. If Da Biao couldn't make ends meet, he asked me to help him sell them."

"But private buying and selling is speculation, so I simply helped Brother Da Biao get a temporary purchasing permit."

"You can check with our factory's HR department; it's on file."

"So, it's not illegal for a purchasing agent to have some nice stuff at home, right?"

"He didn't sell them to outsiders at inflated prices privately, so that doesn't count as speculation!"

Liu Guangqi started spouting nonsense, but every word he said made perfect sense, leaving Zhang Dabiao completely bewildered.

How come I didn't know my dad had told you about this?

But Liu Guangqi gave Zhang Dabiao a look, and Zhang Dabiao immediately understood—

This is what Liu Guangqi called "good stuff," "a real treasure"!

Brothers!

This immediately patched up the source of Zhang Dabiao's supplies!

perfect!
