Chapter 69

A figure flashed through Zhou Yubai’s mind…

But he felt that it shouldn’t be done.

There is absolutely no reason and that person has no position. Even if those people are going to deal with him, they will not look for such a person.

Zhou Yubai fell into deep thought.

“Yu Bai.” Shen Qingli called.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Yubai regained his composure and quickly walked to Shen Qingli’s side.

“The things in the well are still there. We’re going to have fish tonight, so let’s just leave these things here.” Shen Qingli said.

“Okay, let Xiao Hei stay here at night.” Zhou Yubai said. Xiao Hei is younger than Da Huang and is at his strongest age. If someone comes here in the middle of the night, Xiao Hei will definitely hurt that person.

“The things in the cellar are not bad. I also stored some food and seasonings in there. Take some when you go there later.”

“good.”

The two men sorted through the rubble again and made sure that apart from the pot in the kitchen, nothing else could be salvaged.

“You and Gu Qichuan don’t have to go to work tomorrow. Clean up the ruins. The bricks will arrive the day after tomorrow, so start digging the foundation.” Shen Qingli said.

“Well, I only need everyone’s help to build the main walls and the roof. I will slowly work on the inner walls and the floor, and then the entrance to the tunnel will not be discovered by anyone.” Zhou Yubai said. He has plenty of time now.

“Now is not the busy farming season, you can ask the team leader for a long vacation.” Shen Qingli said.

“I’ll talk to the captain tomorrow.” Zhou Yubai responded.

After the discussion, the two of them took the food and seasonings for tonight and went to Gou Wa’s original house.

Gu Qichuan and his little dog Niuniu were cleaning the house. The house was really shabby and there were several holes in the roof. Gu Qichuan climbed up to repair it. Xiao Hei squatted at the gate of the yard. When someone passed by, he would look up with a lazy look.

The Li family naturally knew that Zhou Yubai’s yard was on fire, and Mrs. Li happily ate half a bowl of porridge more.

“Hmph, I’ve already told you Gou Wa and Niu Niu are jinxes. Do you think that just changing their names will solve the problem? Hmph, it’s useless. They’re still in such a mess that they don’t even have a place to live.” Mrs. Li said gloatingly while slurping her porridge.

Li Yaozu didn’t say anything. For some reason, he always felt that nothing would happen to Zhou Yubai and Shen Qingli. They were capable people.

He had heard that capable people are not afraid of minor disasters.

“Yaozu, look, our family is still blessed. Look at what we eat and drink now, it’s not better than Zhou Yubai’s family!” When Mrs. Li saw Li Yaozu, she began to educate him.

Who made Li Yaozu want to go to Zhou Yubai’s house so much before?

If not now, when?

“Yes, Yaozu, your grandma is right. It’s just a fire now, but you might get worse in the future. You should stay away from those people.” Wang Xiuhua added.

“Are they living in the house where Gou Wa used to live?” asked Mrs. Li.

“It was the captain who asked you to do that. Mom, your leg isn’t healed yet, so stop struggling.” Li Dazhuang naturally saw that his mother wanted to take advantage of the situation.

But now, there is not only Zhou Yubai, but also Gu Qichuan, who is a proper city dweller with money and connections. It is just a matter of a word for him to kill these peasants.

Now Li Dazhuang just wants to live a peaceful and stable life.

“I know I can’t go out like this. You guys should be careful. Zhou Yubai and his family can’t even make a living now. Gou Wa and Niu Niu, these two burdens, will be abandoned by them sooner or later.” Mrs. Li stopped talking halfway.

Li Dazhuang nodded.

He didn’t want to provoke Gu Qichuan, but he had to take back the things that belonged to their Li family.

“And in their yard, Zhou Yubai often goes hunting and must have a lot of good stuff. They should be hidden in the cellar or in the well. Call Dali at night and go take a look.” said Mrs. Li.

Li Dazhuang and Li Dali exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

They thought that at night Zhou Yubai’s family, Gu Qichuan and the two dogs must be living in Gou Wa’s original yard. The two places are far away from each other, so they should not be discovered if they quietly take the things and leave in the middle of the night.

The yard where Gou Wa and his family used to live.

When Zhou Yubai and Shen Qingli arrived, Gu Qichuan had already repaired the roof and was working with Gou Wa to use branches to build a fence, which would more or less make the yard look like a yard.

“Dad, Mom.” When Gou Wa saw them, he immediately went over to take the things in Shen Qingli’s hands.

“There are two rooms. You two can live in one, and I’ll take Ruirui and Niuniu into one.” Gu Qichuan said.

“Okay.” Shen Qingli nodded. “I’ll go to the kitchen and prepare dinner. You guys just watch me clean up.”

Zhou Yubai sent the things to Shen Qingli and took them to the kitchen.

In fact, it can’t be called a kitchen. It’s just a small stove that can’t accommodate the pot that Shen Qingli brought.

Shen Qingli was a little embarrassed. How could she cook without a stove?

“I’ll build you a simple one now.” Zhou Yubai said, and started to work. Soon a simple stove was built by him. He also repaired the previous stove and fixed it with some mud.

There is no shortage of firewood in this season. Zhou Yubai folded the branches and placed them next to the stove. “Be careful not to hurt your hands.”

“Well, don’t worry.” Shen Qingli started cooking. She put the casserole on the original small stove, steamed rice, and stewed fish in her big pot on the new stove.

Soon, the fragrance spread in the yard.

Niu Niu touched her stomach and sighed. She was hungry. The food her mother cooked smelled so good, but she was still in a low mood.

“Okay, come and eat first.” Shen Qingli called everyone, which was a bit embarrassing now.

The tableware in their house was all broken. The chopsticks were easy to deal with, and they could eat fish directly in the pot. They just gathered around the stove, but what about the bowls?

“Yu Bai, Qingli, Gu Zhiqing.” Sun Xiuli’s bright voice sounded, followed by the team leader and Zhuzi’s parents.

Everyone had a lot of things in their hands.

“Captain Uncle, Auntie, Uncle Zhang, Auntie Zhang, what are you doing…”

“Qingli, uncle and aunt know that something happened in your family, so they brought some food and bedding over.” Zhuzi’s mother said.

“This…” Shen Qingli felt warm in her heart, “Aunt Zhang, I’ll use the quilt for one day, and we’ll buy a new one tomorrow. We don’t need the food, you see we eat pretty well.”

Shen Qingli pointed at the fish in the pot.

There was a big pot full of fragrant fish, and there was also a pot of rice. It looked like they were not short of food.

“Okay, you can use the quilts. They are all old. Just don’t mind if you don’t mind.”

“There is no reason to despise you, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang. You have helped us so much, we will remember your friendship.” Shen Qingli said in a gentle voice.

She has a nice voice and speaks beautifully.

Zhuzi’s parents felt warm in their hearts and waved their hands repeatedly, telling them not to worry about it.

“Auntie brought you some bowls and plates, you can use them first.” Sun Xiuli said.

Shen Qingli’s eyes lit up. Sun Xiuli had solved their big problem!
