Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Yang Bai was stunned when he heard her utter the classic 10% brain theory.

"Where did you read that fallacy? I'm a smart person, I learn everything quickly."

Su Wanqiu shook her head seriously.

"I don't think so, it must be."

Yang Bai quickly changed the subject, "Ningning and Qiaoqiao will be back soon, I'll go pick them up."

He had just left when Zhang Ning returned with Qiaoqiao in his car.

Upon seeing that it was her father, Yang Qiaoqiao immediately jumped off the car seat and hugged Yang Bai.

"Dad, you're back from Quanzhou. I missed you so much."

She nuzzled her little head against Yang Bai's stomach.

He picked up his daughter and put a pink hair clip on her.

"Isn't this a nice piece I wore back from Quanzhou?"

He held a mirror in one hand and showed it to his daughter. She looked at herself, revealing two sweet little tiger teeth, and nodded repeatedly.

"It looks great, I'm going to show it to the whole class tomorrow."

Her gaze then fell on the side of her mother's hair.

"Dad bought them all for us."

"Yes, Ningning has one too."

Yang Bai put Yang Qiaoqiao down and put the last blue hair clip on Zhang Ning's head.

She touched the hair clip, a warm smile spreading across her lips.

She was carrying several medicine packets in her hand.

"You had a nightmare three days ago. This is a Chinese herbal medicine prescription I made for you. I'll brew it for you tonight, and you can take two doses a day."

Don't forget to drink it when you go out to sea. If you're going to be at sea for a long time, I'll brew some extra for you to take on the boat. You'll see improvement in seven days.

Zhang Ning advised that he knew Yang Bai would be busy with various matters after securing the Quanzhou order, and it would be best to use traditional Chinese medicine for health maintenance.

Yang Bai slept soundly at night.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Yang Bai opened his heavy eyelids, and at that moment, Su Wanqiu was also awakened.

She looked at Yang Bai and said.

Who's outside?

Yang Bai shook his head, lifted the blanket, and said, "I'll go check on things. You go to sleep first."

"Okay, be careful."

Su Wanqiu gave a word of advice, then closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Yang Bai slightly opened the courtyard door a crack, and there stood Ma Hou, wearing a coat and holding a lamp, speaking in a low voice.

"Yang Bai, it's me."

Yang Bai opened the door wide.

"Secretary Ma, what brings you here so late?"

Ma Hou pulled Yang Bai away.

"The militiamen who were secretly watching over me told me that the thief who poisoned the poison had been caught, and I should go and see for myself."

Yang Bai immediately perked up. He hadn't expected that the poisoners were so cautious, choosing to strike at night.

"Okay, wait until I close the door."

Yang Bai closed the courtyard gate, hopped on his old-fashioned bicycle, and pedaled straight to the breeding farm.

Upon arriving at the crab farm, Ma Hou immediately greeted them, then turned to the militiamen on duty and asked in a deep voice, "Where are they?"

The militiaman pointed to a spot not far away and replied solemnly, "There were two people in total, and they were both caught. Not one of them escaped."

Yang Bai and Ma Hou walked forward side by side.

When Ma Hou saw the two people who had been stopped, a deep sense of surprise welled up in his eyes, and he felt a surge of anger and disappointment in his heart. He thought the two of them were really too muddle-headed and useless.

One of these two people is Liu Dapeng's nephew, and the other is naturally Liu Dapeng's wife, Xu Lili.

Two cans of rat poison were placed next to the two people.

Ma Hou pointed at Xu Lili, his chest heaving.

"Xiao Xu, ask yourself honestly, have I treated your family badly?"

"Your husband committed such a serious crime, and I persuaded Yang Bai, yet you still did something like this!"

Yang Bai's eyes were indifferent. He had expected that Xu Lili was responsible after the incident, but he had no evidence at the time and couldn't say anything.

Saying this would be a slap in the face to the Party Secretary. Now that they've been caught red-handed, let's see what they have to say.

Xu Lili looked at Yang Bai with eyes full of hatred and gritted her teeth.

"Secretary Ma, you remember our kindness. I'm the one who wronged you in this matter."

"But I want to harm Yang Bai! I want him dead, I want his reputation ruined."

"You're the one who ruined our family! Dapeng is still in jail!"

"He's lost a lot of weight."

When Ma Hou heard the reason, his eyes almost rolled back in anger.

"You're so foolish, so foolish."

Yang Bai laughed; it was another case of victim-blaming.

"I'm sorry, I don't take pressure. Liu Dapeng deserves to go to jail, and you, now you're going to reunite with Liu Dapeng in jail."

He didn't want to explain too much; such a scoundrel didn't deserve his breath.

"Secretary Ma, arrest them and make them pay for the losses of the crab farm. If they can't pay, they'll go to jail."

Ma Hou was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Yang, Liu Dapeng's family also has a son and a daughter."

"Wouldn't this be inappropriate?"

Yang Bai shook his head.

"Secretary Ma, do you realize how much damage her scheme will cause to the crab farm, and how many people's livelihoods will be ruined if she succeeds?"

"If all the blue crabs die this time, I will not be able to cooperate in establishing a crab farm."

He was willing to gamble, willing to fight for a bright future.

The premise is that there are no internal problems; if problems arise, they will not be addressed.

Instead, they let go of whoever is pitiful, but what about those who suffer losses?

Are we just going to let them suffer losses for nothing? Are we going to watch the bad guys continue to live normal lives?

"Secretary Ma, this is fair, and I'm acting according to the law. If we let her go this time, then whoever I offend in the future will poison the crab farm. I don't think there's any point in continuing this."

Ma Hou fell silent; what Yang Bai said did indeed make sense.

The village values ​​personal relationships, but these relationships can also be a chain that hinders the village's development.

He gritted his teeth and waved.

"Do as Xiao Yang says, take stock of the losses, and send the people to the commune at daybreak."

"This money must be paid out; the village will not bear a single penny."

Xu Lili glared at Yang Bai with venomous resentment and spat.

"Yang Bai, the village will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later. Want revenge? Come on, you'd better kill me!"

Yang Bai walked step by step to her, his eyes extremely cold.

"Many people wanted to kill me, but I killed them all. Some even died, but I'm still alive."

"Think about why you're threatening me? Come on, I'm not afraid of losing my life or my family being destroyed."

The thing he fears least in his life is being threatened: either fight to the death or get out of his sight.

He admired Wu Anshun for this, at least he took action.

Xu Lili stared at the chilling coldness in his eyes, her whole body stiffened, and she froze on the spot.

A thousand words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single one.

Ma Hou quickly waved his hand, "Take him to the woodshed in the courtyard and keep an eye on him."

Four militiamen escorted Xu Lili and her nephew out together.

Ma Hou said apologetically, "Yang Bai, I'm sorry for what happened today. I shouldn't have let Xu Lili in. I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted."

If we had listened to Yang Bai, perhaps this terrible mess wouldn't have happened today.

Yang Bai shook his head slightly.

"Secretary Ma, if it weren't Xu Lili, someone else would have done this. Her actions serve as a warning to everyone in the village and anyone who will come in later. The farm belongs to the village collective, not to me or anyone else."
