Chapter 270 He Yuzhu Picks Up Credits on the Way Here
Tian Shuilai sighed and said, "Everyone in the village thinks the same way! We're worried about this too!"
He Yuzhu's eyes darted around, and he said, "But it's not impossible to find a workaround. If all else fails, you can talk to the town and exchange the extra portion for grain or other goods. This way, the village can increase the villagers' income."
Tian Jiawang and Tian Shuilai exchanged a glance, and Tian Shuilai said, "Zhuzi's idea is good. When we go to the meeting in town tomorrow, let's say this to the mayor and Shuji."
Tian Jiawang asked thoughtfully, "Will this work?!"
Tian Shuilai said, "How will we know if it will work if we don't try?!"
He Yuzhu said, "Uncle Village Chief, when you go to talk to them, be sure to complain a lot. If that doesn't work, ask the town leaders to go out to sea with our village's fishing boats. Let them experience the life of fishing. Once they experience it once, they probably won't make things difficult for you. Also, I reckon they found out about our purchases from your village. They want to use this to control you and get a share of the profits."
Tian Shuilai chimed in, "Zhu Zi makes a good point."
After considering for two or three minutes, Tian Jiawang said, "For everyone's sake, I won't be a good guy this time!"
Time flew by, and it was a little past 9:30 in the morning. As the conch shells sounded from the dock, the fishing boats from Tianjia Village began to dock. Around 10:40, the seafood was gradually unloaded. After weighing, Tian Jiawang and Tian Shuilai returned to the village committee with the list. Tian Jiawang said, "Zhuzi, we just discussed it, and we'll exchange what you brought for a total of 20,000 jin of seafood. That includes 2,000 jin of yellow croaker, 2,000 jin of ribbonfish, 2,000 jin of pomfret, 5,000 jin of miscellaneous fish, 1,000 jin of shrimp, 4,000 jin of crabs, and the rest will be mixed with some cuttlefish and other similar items."
"Alright! We'll do it your way!" He Yuzhu agreed, then asked, "Uncle Village Chief, how much more money do I need to give you?!"
Tian Shuilai said, "The things you brought have already covered the cost! You don't need to pay this time."
He Yuzhu said firmly, "No way! Our friendship is one thing, exchanging things is another. We can't mix the two."
Tian Jiawang and Tian Shuilai met with He Yuzhu with a firm attitude. After discussing it, Tian Jiawang and Tian Shuilai finally decided that He Yuzhu should pay an additional two hundred yuan.
He Yuzhu paid very readily. Tian Jiawang also very considerately gave He Yuzhu two shopping lists. One list had detailed prices, and the other had no prices. He Yuzhu put away the lists, said goodbye to Tian Jiawang and Tian Shuilai, and was about to leave when Tian Jiawang threw a bucket of abalone and sea cucumber into the driver's cab.
He Yuzhu didn't stand on ceremony, thanked him, and started the truck. After leaving the village, He Yuzhu drove for a while, found a secluded spot, stored the truck in his spatial storage, and then took out the SUV. While driving the SUV towards Beijing, he multitasked, using his divine sense to select all the seafood on the truck.
A little after 3:30 PM, He Yuzhu arrived at a point about seven or eight kilometers from Beijing. Seeing no one around, he put the SUV back into his storage space and released the truck. He drove the truck for less than five kilometers when he saw someone waving at him from the roadside. Upon closer inspection, He Yuzhu recognized the person waving as none other than Bai Songwei, the man they had been searching for.
He Yuzhu pulled up next to Bai Songwei and asked, "Comrade, what's the matter?!"
Bai Songwei said, "Comrade, could you give us a ride?"
While pretending to scrutinize Bai Songwei, He Yuzhu released his divine sense. Soon, He Yuzhu discovered that Bai Jingshan had secretly climbed into the back of the truck. He Yuzhu asked, "Where are you going?!"
Bai Songwei pointed in the direction of Beijing and said, "Back to Beijing!"
He Yuzhu feigned impatience and said, "Get in the car!"
"Hey!" Bai Songwei responded, quickly opening the passenger door and sitting down in the passenger seat. Taking advantage of Bai Songwei's momentary lapse in attention, He Yuzhu struck. Without giving Bai Songwei a chance to react, He Yuzhu knocked him unconscious. Fearing something might go wrong on the way, He Yuzhu pulled out handcuffs and cuffed Bai Songwei. Then, He Yuzhu released the brakes and drove the truck towards Beijing.
As time passed, Bai Jingshan, sitting amidst the pile of seafood, began to sense something was amiss. Just as Bai Jingshan was about to lift the tarpaulin to peek outside, the truck stopped. Thinking Bai Songwei had succeeded, Bai Jingshan swiftly lifted the tarpaulin. However, to his surprise, the instant he lifted the tarpaulin, a hand grabbed his collar and yanked him off.
When Ma Jianjun and Jiang Yaohua returned from patrol, they saw He Yuzhu pulling someone out of the car. They immediately ran to He Yuzhu's side, and Jiang Yaohua asked, "Zhuzi, what's going on?!"
He Yuzhu replied with a smile, "We encountered wanted criminals on the way back, so we brought them back with us. There's another one in the driver's seat!"
"Oh!" Jiang Yaohua and Ma Jianjun immediately ran to the passenger side. Ma Jianjun opened the car door and saw a person slumped over the passenger seat, their hands cuffed behind their back. Ma Jianjun and Jiang Yaohua quickly pulled the person out. Upon seeing the person's face in the passenger seat, Ma Jianjun exclaimed in surprise, "Bai Songwei!"
"Who?!" Song Zhaohong, who had just come out of the restroom, heard Ma Jianjun's voice and immediately ran to Ma Jianjun's side, grabbing Bai Songwei's hair and pulling him back. When Song Zhaohong saw Bai Songwei's face clearly, he laughed and said, "It's that kid again?!" Then he looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Zhuzi, how did you recognize them?!"
He Yuzhu said, "They came to us of their own accord." Then He Yuzhu recounted what happened, except that he changed his divine sense to seeing Bai Jingshan sneaking into the car through the rearview mirror.
At this moment, Ye Guoliang and Yao Qi, having received the report, rushed out of the office. Seeing that Bai Songwei and Bai Jingshan had been apprehended, both Ye Guoliang and Yao Qi wore expressions of relief. Then, Ye Guoliang looked at the truck and asked, "Zhu Zi, how much stuff did you buy?!"
He Yuzhu said, "I don't know the exact weight. The village chief and the Party secretary arranged for people to load the truck. Anyway, this truckload of stuff cost me almost four thousand yuan."
Ye Guoliang said, "Old Yao, you lead a team to interrogate Bai Songwei and Bai Jingshan. The rest of you help unload the truck. Zhao Hong, you organize the weighing. We'll keep 30%, and load the rest onto the truck." Then he said to He Yuzhu, "You rest for a while. After loading, take the rest to your Aunt Wang."
