"Then all my preparations were in vain."

"How can I prepare it in vain? I haven't eaten yet, so I don't have to go back to cook..."

Sha Zhu took the plate and steamed bread from the aunt, walked straight to the table and started eating.

The aunt was also stunned for a moment, then told Sha Zhu to just leave it there after eating, and she would come to collect it, and then went back.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the old lady who came back empty-handed and asked, "Did the old lady eat so much today?"

"No, the food that was taken away was eaten by Sha Zhu. He hasn't cooked for himself yet."

The aunt shook her head and explained the reason.

Yi Zhonghai didn't ask any more questions. It was just a meal and there was no meat involved.

With only five dollars a month, it is not difficult for the deaf old lady to have enough to eat, but she wants to improve her life every few days. Where can I get so many tickets to buy her meat?

Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have used his own meat coupons to buy meat for the deaf old lady. If she had lived to 65, she might have been able to eat meat every day. (In those years, there was a surplus of pork, and to clear the inventory, large quantities were supplied. Eating meat was considered patriotic, patriotic meat. I checked it online.)

After Sha Zhu finished his meal, he washed the dishes and sent them to Yi Zhonghai's house.

After coming out, I happened to meet Xu Damao.

Sha Zhu stopped Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, I heard you went on a blind date?"

"What's it to you? Get out of the way, or I'll whip you!"

Xu Damao naturally would not be polite to Sha Zhu, not to mention that his fighting power was not weaker than Sha Zhu now, so he was confident when facing Sha Zhu.

"Xu Damao, I'm just curious, which girl is so blind as to fall for you?"

Sha Zhu folded his hands over his chest and looked up at Xu Damao.

"Silly Zhu, I'm different from you. I have a good father, and he found me a good girl. You, a fatherless guy, can envy him."

"Xu Damao, you bastard!"

Sha Zhu grabbed Xu Damao's collar with both hands and was about to throw him away.

And how could Xu Damao, who took the initiative to provoke, not be unprepared? Just when Sha Zhu grabbed him, he grabbed Sha Zhu's wrist with his hand.

The two of them just held each other in a stalemate.

"Silly Zhu! Xu Damao! Let go!"

Yi Zhonghai came over and separated the two men. It was because they didn't really fight, otherwise Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have needed one person to separate them.

"Why are you two fighting again?"

"Grandpa, please stop talking nonsense. I was just walking down the street and wanted to go to the bathroom, but this guy came up and stopped me without saying a word. Ask him what he meant!"

Chapter 99: The Business Trip Ends

Xu Damao was very confident and he was not wrong. Didn’t Sha Zhu have no father?

"Silly Zhu, is that so?"

Yi Zhonghai asked Silly Zhu.

"Uncle, don't listen to his nonsense. I just heard that Xu Damao was going on a blind date, so I came to ask him if it was true. Who would have thought that this grandson would curse at me as soon as he opened his mouth."

"Whether I go on a blind date or not is none of your business! You're just a cook, when did you become a matchmaker? If you have the time, why don't you find a matchmaker yourself? You're in your twenties, and you're not ashamed of it."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he walked around Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu and left.

"Grandson, don't leave!"

"Alright, silly!"

Yi Zhonghai stopped Sha Zhu who was about to continue attacking, "What Xu Damao said is right. What does it have to do with you whether he goes on a blind date or not? Why do you care about it?"

Yi Zhonghai rarely said something fair, he knew that Sha Zhu was not in the right in this matter.

Sha Zhu gave Xu Damao a vicious look as he left, then turned around and went home.

……

Machine repair shop.

The seven-day business trip ended a day early. With the warm farewell of the leadership team of the machine repair factory, Jiang Fan, Han Daguo, and He Xinnian left in a jeep with local specialties.

We didn't encounter anything special, like catching thieves, spies, or anyone getting slapped in the face. Everything was very harmonious, as everyone was contributing to society.

This machine shop isn't the one from "Man Is Iron, Rice Is Steel," and Jiang Fan didn't find Liang Ladi and Nan Yi. Of course, it could also be that the timeline is wrong.

He was not familiar with the show, only knowing the "four bad guys" - Xu Damao, Cui Dake, Cheng Jianjun, and Wu Yansheng, and the three cooks - Sha Zhu, Nan Yi, and Liu Hongchang.

After returning to the factory, the work was handed over first, and then Han Daguo approved two days of leave for Jiang Fan, asking him to have a good rest today and tomorrow. After all, there was a weekend in between the business trip.

Jiang Fan was naturally happy. Although the daily workload was not heavy, who would want to go to work when they could just lie down? Not to mention that one of his days was originally a day off.

After going to the workshop to say hello to his father and others, Jiang Fan walked back home with his tool bag.

Yan Bugui wasn't waiting at the door; he must have gone to class, as it was Wednesday. Instead, Yan Jiecheng was sitting there.

Jiang Fan walked past him expressionlessly. Yan Jiecheng suddenly looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Jiang Fan, did you know that Xu Damao went on a blind date?"

Jiang Fan ignored him and went back to the house. This made Yan Jiecheng so angry that his balls hurt.

"Mom, Second Aunt, I'm back."

The two families live close to each other, and with Pengpeng at home, Second Aunt is basically at Jiang Fan's house every day.

"You're back so soon. I thought you wouldn't be here until the afternoon."

Shen Yue came out of the house holding Pengpeng.

"It was quick work. I finished it last night. If it weren't for the unsafe driving at night, I would have been back yesterday. I'm on a business trip, and the section chief gave me two days off. I'm resting at home these two days."

Jiang Fan took Pengpeng and pinched his little face. This little thing is quite fun.

"Just keep coaxing her. It's almost noon. Your second aunt and I will go cook. What do you want to eat?"

"Let's make noodles. I'm quite greedy."

After dinner, Jiang Fan sat on the bed, feeling somewhat bored. He hadn't been tired these past few days, so when he had some free time, he really didn't know what to do.

Jiang Fan was lost in thought and soon fell asleep.

……

Friday came in a flash, and it was time to go to work again.

Jiang Fan sat at his desk again. He felt a little strange after not seeing him for a week.

As usual, I first go to each workshop to check the operation of the machinery, then return to the office to accumulate knowledge and wait for the next technical assessment.

At noon, Xu Damao, who had been showing movies in the countryside, returned. After learning that Jiang Fan had also returned from his business trip, he immediately rushed to the technical department to treat Jiang Fan to a meal.

The two agreed to go home that evening, and Xu Damao went home. The projectionist's main job was to show movies. As long as they completed this task and showed a certain number of movies each month, the rest of their time was free.

Inside a state-owned hotel.

Xu Damao drank a glass as soon as he came up, "Brother, I've hidden something from you. I went on a blind date a few days ago and didn't tell you the truth. This is my fault."

"What does your blind date have to do with me? I'm not your father-in-law."

Jiang Fan had a drink with him. He had expected Xu Damao to go on a blind date, but the timing felt wrong. Lou Xiao'e should have waited another two years before getting married. Was it the butterfly effect?

"Screw you."

Xu Damao smiled and poured another cup. "This cup is to thank you for the tea you gave me. It makes me proud in front of my father-in-law."

Xu Damao drank the second glass and poured another one, "Brother, some of the words are in the wine."

He tilted his head back and drank the third cup.

The two of them officially started to eat, and as they toasted each other, Xu Damao also said that if nothing went wrong, he would be getting married after the New Year.

By then, I will try to have two children in three years, and let the children recognize Jiang Fan as their godfather. The meal lasted more than an hour, and Xu Damao was completely drunk.

Jiang Fan took him back home again.

In front of Xu's house.

"Jiang Fan, thank you for sending him back again."

Xu Wude said to Jiang Fan with a smile.

"It's okay, Uncle Xu. Damao and I were drinking together. We can't let him stay there."

"No matter what, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, Damao wouldn't be where he is today."

Jiang Fan listened and felt that something was wrong. "My relationship with Brother Damao has become strained after hearing this. Uncle Xu, I've also replied. I drank quite a bit today."

After saying goodbye to Xu Wude, Jiang Fan left. When leaving the backyard, he turned around and looked at the old deaf man's room.

Through the glass, he could clearly see the old deaf man's cloudy eyes. Perhaps because of his current suffering, Jiang Fan could see that there was a lot of malice in the old deaf man's eyes.

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes. "We can't keep this old thing here. Let's write a letter of denunciation tonight and expose her affairs."

Jiang Fan never thought of killing the deaf old lady with his own hands, that would be too easy for her.

In the next two years, ordinary people would not have enough food to eat. In order to protect himself and provide for his retirement, Yi Zhonghai would definitely not focus on the deaf old lady.

After all, there is still the Jia family, a burden, the deaf old lady and Jia Dongxu. Yi Zhonghai would definitely not want an old man who is about to die and cannot provide for him in his old age. It would be a waste of food if he were to live.

If Yi Zhonghai hadn't been unsure whether the deaf old lady had some assets, he might have taken action directly.

So according to Jiang Fan's idea, in the next two years, he would watch the old deaf woman starve to death step by step. If Yi Zhonghai didn't starve her to death, Black Scorpion would take action.

Wait until people from the street office come to mourn, or when the funeral is taking place, and then create an accident.

Everyone accidentally discovered the true identity of the deaf old lady and her bald son who looked like Yi Zhonghai.

That scene must be very beautiful.

But it’s better to deal with this old deaf man now to avoid any trouble.

Chapter 100: Capturing the Deaf Old Lady

Jiang Fan did not hesitate and did it right away.

He went home, put on gloves, found a newspaper from an unknown date, cut another piece of the newspaper into strips of paper, used the strips to piece together the contents of the report letter, and pasted it on.

This letter of complaint is completed.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Fan ran to the police station under the cover of darkness and placed the letter of complaint in a conspicuous place.

Then he went home to sleep, after all, he was drunk too.

……

Xiong Zhan, who was on night shift at the police station, was holding a thermos and was about to fetch some water when he suddenly saw a letter on the table.

"Hmm? Was this thing here just now?"

Years of combat experience made Xiong Zhan alert. He did not approach immediately, but turned around and found other colleagues who were also on night shift.

There were not many people on night shift, only six, and at this moment all six of them were looking at the letter of complaint sent by Jiang Fan.

"Captain Yue, there was definitely no such thing here just now."

Xiong Zhan said to a middle-aged man.

"Old Bear, I think you are just a coward. These are just a few thin pieces of newspaper. What could they be? Could they be explosives?"

The person who spoke was a young man, a newly graduated police officer named Ma Feng.

"Twinkle Peaks! Xiong Zhan did the right thing. Be careful and cautious. That's what you learned in school!"

Yue Xishan criticized Ma Feng's words. He had also come back from the battlefield and knew that recklessness and carelessness could lead to death.

Yue Xishan picked up the newspaper, squeezed it, and found nothing unusual. He opened it and took a look, and his brows relaxed.

"Please prepare yourself. We may need to take action soon. I will ask my superiors for instructions."

"Yes!"

Yue Xishan called the director, "Director Zheng, this is Yue Xishan. A letter of complaint suddenly appeared in the bureau just now, and I checked it.
