Chapter 7
Done, now I can go back to the guesthouse and rest without any worries.
Xu Zhixin yawned and went back to the guesthouse. Everything went smoothly until she entered the room in the guesthouse and no one discovered her.
After returning to the villa in the space, Xu Zhixin took off her mask and night clothes, then fell on the bed and took a nap.
It is midnight now, time to go to bed, so she is very sleepy and wants to have a good sleep.
Xu Zhixin slept very well and did not wake up until noon the next day.
Xu Zhixin sat up from the bed, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and stretched again.
“I wonder what time it is now?” She reached for the alarm clock on the bedside table and was surprised to find that it was already half past twelve.
It’s already this late. I’ve slept too long. I have to go out quickly to see how the Guo family is doing. I want to see if Guo Dapao’s house has been searched and if he has been arrested.
Xu Zhixin got out of bed in a hurry with some excitement and anticipation, and put on the clothes she wore yesterday. While getting dressed, she looked at her clothes and pants, which were all washed white, torn in some places, and patched, and frowned slightly.
The original owner was so pitiful. He hadn’t had new clothes for many years and had always been wearing old clothes.
This outfit is a bit of an eyesore, I want to change it.
Although there are many beautiful women’s clothes in the clothing section of the supermarket, there are no styles of this era. If you wear modern styles of clothes in the clothing section of the supermarket, it will immediately attract everyone’s attention, arouse other people’s suspicion, and make you look bad, so you can’t wear them.
Although she had seen Wu Ruifang and Zhou Qinghong’s clothes when she moved out of Xu’s house, she didn’t like them and didn’t take any of them.
She didn’t want to wear Wu Ruifang and Zhou Qinghong’s clothes.
Xu Zhixin thought about it and decided to go to Zhou Dapao’s house and then go to the department store to buy new clothes, but she immediately dismissed this idea by shaking her head.
No, many people knew her situation in the Xu family. They knew that Xu Youcai and Wu Ruifang never gave her money or tickets. If she suddenly went to the department store to buy new clothes, it would arouse suspicion.
Moreover, the Xu family had just been destroyed, so it would be even more suspicious if he was thinking of buying new clothes.
It’s better to be patient and buy new clothes after some time.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhixin washed up, left the space, and returned to her room in the guesthouse.
The first thing Xu Zhixin did when she returned to her room in the guesthouse was to check if anyone had come in. She felt relieved when she saw that the room was exactly the same as it was last night and there was no sign that anyone had been in.
Xu Zhixin opened the door, left the room, walked out of the guesthouse, and headed towards Guo’s house. When she was almost there, she heard the two people walking in front of her talking about Guo Dapao.
“Have you heard that Guo Dapao, who lives in front and works at the street office, had his house raided by a group of Red Guards at dawn this morning. Not only did they find several banned books in his house, they also dug up a human skeleton next to his toilet.
The Red Guard reported the case to the police. After the police took him away for interrogation, they learned that the bones belonged to his wife who had been missing for many years. He had actually killed his wife and buried her secretly next to the toilet. ”
“Oh my god, it turns out that Guo Dapao’s wife was not missing, but was killed by him. He is such a beast in human form, so cruel and mad that he even killed his own wife.”
Did Guo Dapao actually kill his wife? ! Xu Zhixin was a little surprised.
Guo Dapao is dead now!
Banned books were found in his house, and considering that he murdered his wife, there was no doubt that he would be put to death.
A glimmer of joy flashed across Xu Zhixin’s eyes. Thinking of the pile of money, gold and silver jewelry, and antique calligraphy and paintings that she had found in Guo Dapao’s house yesterday, she became even happier and was in a very good mood.
“I heard that when Guo Dapao confessed that he killed his wife, his mother and sister helped him, which led to his mother and sister being arrested. When his mother and sister were arrested, they kept cursing him and hated him for turning them over.” One of the people who had talked about Guo Dapao earlier continued to gossip.
Oh, Guo Dapao’s mother and his sister were also arrested. It’s really gratifying. Guo Dapao’s mother and his sister usually rely on Guo Dapao to bully their neighbors.
But why is this family so bad? It’s simply a den of evil. Xu Zhixin sighed in her heart.
“Gurgle… Gurgle…” Suddenly my stomach growled.
Xu Zhixin touched her stomach. It was already noon, no wonder she was growling with hunger.
Xu Zhixin decided to go eat first. Since she already knew that Guo Dapao had been arrested, there was no need to go to Guo’s house.
But the Xu family is gone, where is she going to have lunch?
Back to space?
“Come on, I’ll pay you today, so I’ll take you to a restaurant to eat braised pork. Haven’t you always wanted to eat braised pork?”
Suddenly, a young man and woman walked by. They looked like a couple, and the man said to the woman.
Hearing the voice, Xu Zhixin’s eyes lit up.
hotel! Watching period dramas, I remember that restaurants at that time were all state-owned, and the main point was that the portions of dishes were large and tasted good.
Now that I have traveled to this era, I should get familiar with everything here as soon as possible, such as seeing what the restaurants look like at this time.
Decided to have lunch at the state-owned restaurant here.
Xu Zhixin followed the young man and woman who walked past her and in front of her. They soon arrived at the state-owned hotel. Just as they were about to enter the hotel, they were stopped by someone.
“Xu Zhixin!”
Who is this person? When Xu Zhixin heard someone calling her, she immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person calling her was an auntie across the street.
Xu Zhixin quickly searched her mind for memories of this aunt, and immediately remembered that the other party was Liu Yumei who worked in the Youth League Office.
The original owner met Liu Yumei when he went to the Youth League Office to sign up for going to the countryside. It was Liu Yumei who arranged for the original owner to go to the countryside.
Xu Zhixin smiled at Liu Yumei and walked towards her.
“Hello, Comrade Liu.” After Xu Zhixin walked up to Liu Yumei, she bowed slightly politely and saluted.
Liu Yumei is from the Youth League Office. Where you will be assigned to, whether it is a good place or a terrible, cold and barren place, all depends on the people in the Youth League Office. So being polite to Liu Yumei will only benefit you.
“Xiao Xu, I heard about your family’s story. Your family is so unfortunate that you encountered a tornado. The tornado only attacked your family, sweeping away your house and your father and the others. You are the only one left. Alas… You are so pitiful!” Liu Yumei sighed with a look of sympathy on her face.
“Have you got any news about your dad and the others? Have they found him?” Liu Yumei asked with concern.
“Not yet.” Xu Zhixin shook her head, pretending to be very sad and worried.
After Liu Yumei comforted Xu Zhixin for a few words, she sighed and said, “Your father and his family are probably in danger. You have such luck. If you hadn’t signed up to go to the countryside, and if your father had passed away, you would have been able to take his job.”
Hearing this, Xu Zhixin remembered that the job at this time could be taken over. Usually, when parents are gone, they can let their children take over after they retire. There are also a few cases where daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, or various relatives can take over, but this is very rare. Usually, the closest children will take over, and the job can still be sold.
But it is hard to find a job at that time, and it is very rare to have a job.
Xu Zhixin suddenly felt it was a pity. If the original owner had not signed up to go to the countryside, now that Xu Youcai was dead, she could take his job and would not have to go to the countryside and could stay in the city.
The city is definitely better than the country.
But the policy is very strict now. Once you sign up to go to the countryside, you cannot go back on your word. You have no choice but to go. But Xu Youcai cannot just give up this job. It would be such a waste.
With it, I can sell Xu Youcai’s job.
At this time, no matter how bad the job is, it can be sold for two or three hundred. Xu Youcai’s job should be sold for at least five hundred.
After making up her mind, Xu Zhixin deliberately showed a sad expression to Liu Yumei and sighed again.
“Alas! Who said it wasn’t true… If my father really died, and I had to go to the countryside, I couldn’t take over his job, so I would have to sell his job…”
“Comrade Liu, you work at the Youth League Office and have a lot of connections. Please help me find out if there is anyone who wants to buy a job. If there is, please introduce them to me. If you can sell my father’s job, I will never forget your kindness and will thank you very much.”
Although there must be a lot of people who want to buy jobs now, she doesn’t know who wants to buy a job, and it’s not good to shout on the street that I want to sell a job and who wants to buy it. That would be too high-profile. In this era, being high-profile can easily cause trouble. It’s better to be low-key. So she thought of asking Liu Yumei, who worked in the Youth League Office and had many connections, for help.
“You want to sell your job!” Liu Yumei shouted excitedly with a look of joy on her face.
Xu Zhixin nodded in confusion. Why did she react like that?
“Isn’t this a coincidence? My family is just planning to buy a job for my youngest son. After graduating from technical school, the kid hasn’t been assigned any work, and he’s absolutely unwilling to go to the countryside. So I wanted to buy him a job, but I couldn’t find anyone willing to sell a job. Now you want to sell it, that’s great!” Liu Yumei said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Zhixin suddenly realized why Liu Yumei reacted like that when she heard that she was going to sell her job.
“What a coincidence! Comrade Liu, if my father is no longer around, this job can be sold to your family and help your family. It will be a great thing for both of us.” Xu Zhixin smiled.
“Xiao Xu, how much do you want to sell this job for?” Liu Yumei asked after nodding.
