After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 190 Heizi Refuses to Help

The man looked hesitant, and he obviously didn't want to reveal too much.

However, when he saw the way Heizi was staring at him, he knew that if he didn't tell him some substantive information, this man called Heige would probably not help him.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "I don't know the specific situation. I just found her outside the town."

Heizi nodded when he heard this: "Shouldn't you go find the police to arrest them? Why did you find me?"

The man gave a wry smile and shook his head helplessly: "I've already contacted the police, but my girlfriend...she didn't want to report it to the police, and in the end, they dropped the case."

Heizi narrowed his eyes, as if sizing the man up. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "Since your partner doesn't want to call the police, why are you still looking for those people?"

The man lowered his head and clenched his fists. "I just wanted to find them and ask them something. My woman was bullied by others, Brother Hei! If it were you, you would definitely not tolerate this, right?"

The man looked at Heizi. Seeing that Heizi didn't respond, he asked stubbornly, "Brother Hei, don't ask me why I'm looking for them. Just tell me if you can help me find them."

"No, you'd better ask someone else! Wang Mazi! Show him out!" Heizi said, then lowered his head and picked up the tools on the table and started working.

The man was stunned when he heard this. He thought the conditions he offered were very tempting, but he didn't expect Heizi to refuse so bluntly.

Realizing that there was something wrong with his attitude, he quickly stepped forward and spoke again: "Brother Hei, that's not what I meant..."

Heizi stopped what he was doing and looked up at Wang Mazi standing beside him, his eyes revealing a hint of impatience: "Wang Mazi, don't you understand what I'm saying? Get out!"

Wang Mazi quickly responded and stepped forward, saying to the man, "Let's go, brother. Our Heige said he won't help, and that's it. It's useless for you to say anything more."

The man wanted to say something, but seeing Wang Mazi's eyes that refused to be rejected, he had no choice but to follow him away.

Heizi raised his head when he heard the door close. He felt that the man looked familiar when he came in just now. After hearing what he said, he guessed who he was.

Wanting to find an enemy, but finding the enemy to help find someone? Heizi shook his head. This town is really too small.

"Brother Hei, the person has been sent away." Wang Mazi came back and said to Heizi.

Heizi nodded and ordered: "Mazi, tell the brothers that from now on, we will not accept anything that this person just gave us."

"I understand, Brother Hei." Wang Mazi responded. Although he didn't understand why Heizi did this, whatever Heizi said was what he had to do.

Heizi thought for a moment and then said, "Mazi, go to the next town in a couple of days and tell Shitou and Fatty that they can come back."

Wang Mazi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, Brother Hei, I'll go tomorrow."

Just as Wang Mazi was about to leave and close the door, Heizi shouted again, "Forget it, Mazi, you'd better not go. Let them stay a little longer."

……

As the setting sun slowly sinks into the horizon, the color of the sky gradually fades and night falls quietly.

The courtyard of Shen Nian's house was bustling with activity. Although they were dining at Shen Nian's house, everyone who came brought something with them.

It was after dinner, and Zhao Gaoxuan was leading a group of children to wash dishes by the well, while Aunt Zhang San, the team leader and others were sitting on the grape trellis, enjoying the gentle breeze in the evening and chatting.

"Comrade Zhao is really hardworking. Jiaojiao, you will be blessed in the future."

Aunt Zhang looked at Zhao Gaoxuan, who was leading a group of children washing dishes by the well, with a smile, and said to Ye Jiaojiao who was sitting next to them.

When Ye Jiaojiao heard this, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and smiled shyly.

She was naturally quite satisfied with Zhao Gaoxuan's diligence and thoughtfulness, but now that they were a couple, she was embarrassed to say it out loud as she did before.

"Jiaojiao, why are you shy? Auntie San is praising your boyfriend." Shen Nian noticed Ye Jiaojiao's reaction and touched her arm, a little confused. Wasn't she praising her boyfriend? Why was she shy when being praised?

Shen Nian thought to herself, if she ever gets a boyfriend in the future, and others praise her boyfriend, she will definitely have to praise him a few more times!

"Oh, sister, stop talking." Ye Jiaojiao gently pushed Shen Nian, her cheeks becoming even redder.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Our Jiaojiao is really shy now." Shen Nian joked with a smile.

As the night deepens, the kerosene lamp in the yard emits a soft light, making the yard seem even warmer.

Everyone sat together, chatting about the crops in the fields and trivial matters in the village, and occasional bursts of laughter could be heard.

"Oh, it's getting late. You guys keep chatting. I have to go back first." The team leader looked at the sky, stood up and said, "I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the commune."

"Oh, it's already this late? Then we have to go." The others also stood up and said goodbye.

After Shen Nian got up and sent everyone away, he closed the gate and returned to the house, where he saw only Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle sitting on the kang.

I couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Where's Xiaochu? Did he go home?"

"Yes, sister, Xiaochu said he had finished his homework and went back first. He saw you chatting with the captains, so he asked me to tell you."

Shen Nianle answered, fiddling with a tin frog in his hand. It was a tin frog that Zhao Gaoxuan specially asked his father to send to him, and Shen Nianle liked it very much.

"Oh, I see." Shen Nian nodded, looked at Shen Nian'an who was reading a book beside him, and then looked at Shen Nianle who was playing with a frog.

She said, "Xiao An, please stop for a moment. I have something I want to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian'an closed the book in his hand, looked up at Shen Nian, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Sister, what's the matter?" he asked, putting down the book in his hand and sitting up straight.

Shen Nian looked at Shen Nianle, then at Shen Nian'an, before slowly speaking, "It's like this. My sister knows a family in town. There are only two elderly people left at home, and a boy who is about your age."

After a brief pause, Shen Nian continued, "The three of them, the grandfather, the grandmother, and the grandson, didn't have a good life before, so my sister became acquainted with this grandmother and made a deal. She exchanged her things for food. Now, this grandmother hopes to exchange her things for a chance for her grandson to go to school..."
