Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

Chapter 180

Cheng Xiaoming watched Su Le run out with the money, sat happily on the ground and waited for her to bring someone to pick him up to the hospital.

But he waited and waited, from noon to afternoon, and from afternoon until it was dark, but she didn't come back.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something.

He didn't care about his aching left leg, he stood up with force, leaned on the wall, and jumped out of the shop one step at a time.

When he came outside, the icy cold wind made him shiver. He looked around, and there was no one on the street, let alone Su Baile!

For the first time in his life, he felt a deep fear.

He shouted at the top of his voice, "Lele, Lele! Where are you!"

What responded to him was only the icy cold wind mixed with ice and snow that pierced the heart.

He struggled to lift his left leg and walked towards the old store step by step.

Cheng Xiaoming never knew that it would take such a long time to walk back from the new store to the old one.

He had to walk for two hours to reach this short distance of two to three ten minutes.

No, it cannot be said to be leaving.

For the part of the journey ahead, he was dragging his left leg.

In the back, he couldn't take it anymore and crawled back abruptly.

After finally arriving at the old store, his whole body was soaked in snow, but what he never expected was that what greeted him was a cold padlock on the door.

The store was dark, and Su Baile was obviously not in the store.

His mind was in a daze for a moment, ignoring his soaked clothes, it took a lot of effort to get up from the ground, unlocked the lock tremblingly and pushed the door open.

The shop was pitch black, and he stood at the door and shouted, "Lele, are you in there?"

The store was silent, and no one responded to him.

He felt for the switch and pulled the light on.

I dragged my injured leg to the cashier, and saw that the money drawer at the cashier was open, and there was not even a penny in it!
Seeing this scene, Cheng Xiaoming came to his senses, went back to the bedroom without giving up, opened the money cabinet and reached out to touch it, the iron box used to store the passbook really disappeared!
Cheng Xiaoming couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to the ground with a bang.

It is said that husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes.

When this day happened to him, Cheng Xiaoming couldn't accept it.He ran out like crazy, shouting while running: "Lele, come back! Lele!"

Ling Yue listened to Ling Qing calmly and Zhao Songbai rushed to Cheng Xiaoming's shop, looked at his bright face and said, "Isn't Zhao Songbai avenging us? This time, we owe him A big favor."

But then again, Zhao Songbai is a real tiger.

How can there be someone who rushes to the other party's shop with a steel bar in broad daylight and smashes it under the watchful eyes of everyone?

Those who knew it thought they had met the underworld.

But actually...

Zhao Songbai is really a member of the underworld.

"Then will we be okay?"

"It's hard to say." Ling Yue said with a headache.

Zhao Songbai did this for himself, and he still doesn't know how to keep him.

"How about we go find Uncle He?"

All she can think of now is to find He Yongmin.

No matter whether He Yongmin will help him or not, it's up to him to do it, let alone make Zhao Songbai feel cold.

"I'll go with you."

When they came to He Yongmin's house, Aunt Xu received them.

Seeing them coming so late, Aunt Xu was surprised and said apologetically, "You don't know that a store on Jiefang Road was smashed up, and your Uncle He went to deal with it."

It's not easy for Ling Yue to tell her that Zhao Songbai did this. He and Ling Qingfeng came out of He Yongmin's house, and just wanted to go to Cheng Xiaoming's store to check the situation, but before they arrived, they saw He Yongmin squatting on the eaves of the third store smoking a cigarette.

Seeing them coming, He Yongmin stomped out the cigarette butt, stood up and said to them: "You guys are here, I heard that Zhao Songbai did this?"

Ling Yue nodded awkwardly: "Actually, it's not Zhao Songbai's fault. It was Su Baile who smashed our store first. Zhao Songbai also smashed their store on impulse to help us out."

He Yongmin waved his hands at them: "Do you know that Cheng Xiaoming's lover has run away?"

Ling Yue looked at him suspiciously: "Su Baile ran away?"

She didn't do anything wrong, why did she run away?
"We only heard about it after someone found Cheng Xiaoming fainted not far from his old shop and sent him to the hospital."

"According to Cheng Xiaoming, Su Baile took away all the money, and he can't even pay the hospitalization now. I also heard from him that Zhao Songbai smashed his shop this morning."

"Uncle He, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't expect things to develop to this point."

If only I didn't let Mei Qiutang go to the second store to pick up the radio.

"You asked Zhao Songbai not to show up these two days. Although this matter is a bit tricky, you don't have to be afraid."

He Yongmin looked at Ling Yue, "Leave this matter to me, and I'll help you handle it, but you may have to pay some money."

Ling Yue said briskly, "Okay. Uncle He, how much does it cost?"

He Yongmin thought for a while: "Give me 500 yuan first, and pay the hospitalization fee for him first. After all, this matter has something to do with you."

Ling Yue understands how to save money and eliminate disasters.

After all, Zhao Songbai did such an impulsive thing for himself.

And he did it for Ji Zhongqiu's sake.

Let alone 500 yuan, she will pay even 1000 yuan!

"Uncle He, it's like this. I didn't bring any money when I came out. How about I send it to you tomorrow?"

He Yongmin shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work. If this drags on, Cheng Xiaoming's leg will really be useless."

He didn't tell them how Cheng Xiaoming returned to the old shop, but Ling Yue understood it all at once.

She looked at He Yongmin: "Uncle He, do you mean that Cheng Xiaoming crawled all the way back?"

In such a cold day, the snow on the ground has not yet melted. Even a normal person can't bear to sit in the snow for a minute, let alone he is a wounded person.

"Yeah, I don't know how long he was unconscious in the snow. The doctor said that if he was sent half an hour later, his injured leg would have to be amputated."

He spoke lightly, but Ling Yue heard it like a stormy sea.

She had only had a little conflict with Su Baile at first, but who knew that things would turn out like this.

"Zhaoyang, do you have any money with you?"

Wang Zhaoyang touched his body and took out 30 yuan from the inner pocket of his jacket: "Xiaoyue, I only carry 30 yuan with me every day, not much."

Ling Qingfeng also said: "Sister, the reserve fund of the third store is only 300 yuan, why don't I take it out first?"

"Okay, that's enough."

Although Ling Yue doesn't bring that much money with her, she always brings more than 100 yuan every day for emergencies.

Ling Qingfeng opened the door, took out 300 yuan of spare money from the cash register and handed it to Ling Yue.

He Yongmin wrote a receipt to Ling Yue.

While writing the receipt, he said: "It's a good thing you didn't show up for today's matter. Remember, no matter who tells it, you have to insist that you don't know about it, and let Zhao Songbai hide for another two days later, don't Let him show up."

"Okay, I'll tell him."
