Chapter 248 - 247: Don’t Study It Next Time

Chapter 248: Chapter 247: Don’t Study It Next Time

Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian were looking into their future prospects.

"Maomao, do you think if we could actually make bricks like this, we’d be qualified to work at a brick factory?"

"I reckon we should at least be assistant workshop directors..."

"Oh, my goodness, is that even possible?"

"It is, I guess... Hey, why are we even talking about this? Should we tell Eldest Brother Zhou or not?"

"You want Eldest Brother Zhou to be the factory director? Would he cut us a pound of meat a month then?"

"Support us every month? What are you dreaming about? Don’t you know what kind of person our Eldest Brother Zhou is? Is he that generous?"

"Ah... Then why tell him? We can just figure it out ourselves and then become directors."

"What about Eldest Brother Zhou then?"

"Once we become directors, give Eldest Brother Zhou a pound of meat a month?"

"Mmm, that sounds good."

"I never realized before, but you two really have some talent."

Lin Nianhe couldn’t stand listening anymore. She walked out of the forest, looked at the two who were being overly cautious even in their daydreaming, and remarked.

Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian had been focused on thinking about the future and hadn’t heard any noise. When Lin Nianhe suddenly spoke, it startled them, and they sprang up from the ground. Their hands shook, and the brick fell onto their feet.

"Ow!"

"F***!"

Watching them hopping on one foot, each holding the other foot, Lin Nianhe couldn’t help but laugh inappropriately.

After they calmed down a bit, Lin Nianhe pointed to the brick on the ground and said, "If you guys really could burn bricks like this, forget about being workshop directors, making you the Factory Director would be fine... But don’t even think about it, these bricks can’t be fired in an earthen kiln."

Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian had their eyes shining brightly at the mention of "Factory Director," but when Lin Nianhe finished her sentence, they instantly wilted, not even considering the possibility that Lin Nianhe might be deceiving them.

Wu Genmao, sitting on the ground still holding his foot, looked up at Lin Nianhe and asked, "Teacher Lin, did you need us for something?"

"Oh, put your work on hold for now, and head to town with me later," Lin Nianhe said.

"Alright."

Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian helped each other up; one had injured the left foot and the other the right. The two brothers supported each other as if they were playing a three-legged race.

Lin Nianhe took them back to the Educated Youth Corps and, being considerate, didn’t assign them any work, even getting them some Yunnan Baiyao.

As they applied the medicine in the courtyard, Lin Nianhe went back inside to pack her things.

After half an hour, Zhou Xu’s familiar voice came from outside the Educated Youth Corps: "Is Comrade Lin Nianhe there?"

Lin Nianhe answered and came out with a fully stuffed shoulder bag, not forgetting to call out to Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian, "Let’s go."

Seeing three people coming out, Zhou Xu’s brows couldn’t help but furrow: "Sister Lin?" He looked at Lin Nianhe with a questioning glance.

Lin Nianhe shook her head almost imperceptibly and smiled, "Let’s go together. These two brothers can be of some help."

Zhou Xu thought about the mental capacity of these two and nodded, "Alright, you two sit in the back seat with Fatty and me, Sister Lin, you ride the bike ahead to lead the way."

Zhou Xu was still a bit worried that these two knowing something in advance could lead to trouble. By having Lin Nianhe lead, if something did happen, he and Fatty could hold them back for a bit, and Lin Nianhe would have the chance to run.

"Okay."

Lin Nianhe didn’t put up any fuss and rode her bicycle forward.

During this journey, Zhou Xu and Feng Wei were on edge the whole time, all their attention on the people sitting on the back seat, barely even watching the road.

Only when they saw the iron gate in front of them did they realize that Lin Nianhe hadn’t gone to the police station but had instead led them to Su Yuncheng’s house.

Facing the astonished looks from Zhou Xu and Feng Wei, Lin Nianhe nonchalantly rummaged through her bag: "He said for us to wait here... ah, I forgot to bring the keys."

Lin Nianhe looked up at them, full of vexation: "Does any of you know how to pick locks?"

Wu Genmao immediately raised his hand: "I do! I can do it!"

Saying that, Wu Genmao stepped forward. He straightened out a wire from a key ring, crouched in front of the lock, fiddled with it for a bit, twisted his hand, and the door opened without a scratch on the lock.

Wu Genmao pushed the door open, grinning as if he was expecting praise.

Lin Nianhe: "You really are talented."

Feng Wei scrutinized him, committing this man’s face firmly to memory.

If there’s a theft case in the future, he’d come looking for this kid first.

Unaware that he’d already been tagged in the mind of the public security comrade, Wu Genmao laughed carelessly, limping as he followed them into the courtyard.

Su Yuncheng’s house hadn’t been lived in for over a month; the yard was filled with fallen leaves.

Lin Nianhe casually tossed the yard broom to Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian: "You two have been sitting on the train for a while, start by sweeping the yard."

"Alright, alright."

Watching them sweep the yard with determination despite their disabilities, Lin Nianhe approached Zhou Xu and Feng Wei and whispered, "Eldest Brother Zhou, you go find Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou and Xiao Fen, and tell them not to come back tonight... If they bump into us, pretend not to recognize us."

Zhou Xu stood still, speaking in a low voice to her, "Sister Lin, what exactly are you trying to do? Brother Cheng asked me to take you back to the police station for your safety!"

Feng Wei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Sister Lin, although this is a family compound, it’s not that safe either, let’s hurry up and leave. I’ve already arranged the interrogation room, you just need to stay there."

"They haven’t even arrived yet, what’s the rush?" Lin Nianhe said, "Besides, do you know how many people are coming? Do you know how many are pickpockets arriving by train? Have you seen those people? Can you catch them all?"

The four soul-piercing questions directly shut up Feng Wei and Zhou Xu.

Lin Nianhe glanced back at Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian, saying, "Whether we can catch them all in one go, in the end... it all rests on these two..."

Lin Nianhe’s voice became even softer, perfectly masked by the rustling sound of sweeping the yard.

After listening to her, Zhou Xu and Feng Wei exchanged a look, both seeing heartfelt admiration in each other’s eyes—

Brother Cheng and Sister Lin are truly a match made in heaven!

...

In all matters related to brawling, the rough-neck Laoer instantly transforms into a detail-oriented, brave and strategic leader with the qualities of a military advisor.

Hence, before setting out, he divided the forty-nine brothers into five groups, he and the four toughest each leading nine, breaking down into smaller units before boarding the train to minimize drawing attention.

The train clattered and swayed all the way, numbing everyone’s bones.

Laoer led the nine men following him off the train, and they split into three smaller groups, walking at neither too close nor too far a distance, blending in with the ordinary passengers.

Laoer stepped out of the train station and spat.

Wiping his mouth, he sneered: "This shitty place... let’s just finish the job and leave."

He said to the person next to him, "Go find out which way to Ten Miles Team."

"Got it, Laoer. You just wait here."

The junior hadn’t left yet when suddenly someone started hopping towards them from a distance, waving his hand.

"Laoer! Laoer!"

Laoer fixed his gaze, and saw a young-looking man with gray hair, not sure what was wrong with him, hopping on one leg.
