Fubao was sitting in the yard looking at the moon bored, when suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of him.
Zhuzi: "Yishu, I heard everything. It was you who saved Xiaoman and my daughter. You should accept this money."
Fubao looked at the silver coins stuffed into his hands and the man in front of him sweating in the cold autumn wind, and quickly put the silver back: "Brother Zhuzi, what are you doing? When we first moved here, Sister Xiaoman talked to my mother every day and taught her how to cook. It's her duty to help now."
Zhuzi was sweating profusely, his eyes slightly red: "Take it, I don't know how to thank you, Xiaoman and I have no relatives here, if something really happens today, I won't be able to survive..."
Fubao saw him crying and said quickly, "Keep it for yourself. When the baby is born, you will have to spend money. If you take it all out at once, will Sister Xiaoman and the baby be left to starve?"
Zhuzi paused, then slowly withdrew his hand and said, "How can I help you? Just ask. I am not afraid of anything."
Zhao Xiuer walked over slowly and comforted her: "Women are the most vulnerable at this time, and their bodies are weak. You have to save the money to replenish the bodies of the mother and daughter."
Zhuzi lowered his head and said, "We've only known each other for a few days, and you're helping me like this..." As he spoke, he choked up again.
Zhao Xiuer fell into reminiscence, and then said: "When I gave birth to Yishu's brother, it was also a difficult delivery. At that time, I was almost dead. If it weren't for a Taoist priest who saved my life, I'm afraid I would have died with the child."
Zhuzi stared at her blankly, and suddenly realized that she had also experienced such a life-and-death moment. No wonder she looked much calmer than others.
Fu Bao then asked, "Sister Xiao Man is going to give birth in the next few days, why are you leaving her alone at home?"
Zhuzi said listlessly, "It's because Xiaoman is about to give birth that I want to earn more money so I can buy more things for them."
Fubao: "Where are you working? Why did you take so long to come back?"
Zhuzi said, "On the dock."
Fu Bao asked doubtfully, "The pier is not very far from here. Even if we walked, we should have returned a long time ago."
Zhuzi lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at the light in the room and said, "Since I'm telling you, I won't hide it. But I hope you don't tell others."
Fubao nodded.
Zhuzi said, "The docks near us are all owned by the government. Although there are a lot of things and no shortage of work, they are mostly common things. Cloth, fruits and vegetables, or some sundries."
Fubao: "So you are..."
Zhuzi: "Although there is no shortage of work, the income is low. If I work from beginning to end without rest, I can earn 80 cents a day."
Fubao nodded, and Zhuzi continued, "It's at a dock far away. It's very hidden and much smaller in scale, but you can earn three hundred coins a day!"
Fu Bao raised his eyebrows: "Three hundred coins?"
Zhuzi was excited but still kept his voice down and said, "I want to work there for a few more days, and buy some better clothes for Xiaoman."
Fubao felt something was wrong. He could earn three hundred coins a day just by moving things. Is there such a good thing?
Seeing Fubao's look, Zhuzi immediately patted his chest and said, "I already have some friendship with the manager. If you want your father to go and make money with me, I will go and talk to him."
Fubao: "What are you moving that makes so much money?"
Zhuzi froze and quickly whispered, "Only this!"
Fu Bao listened to his suddenly nervous tone and became even more confused: "What?"
Zhuzi said carefully: "You can't ask about any news about the dock. And you can't tell anyone about this, or I will kick you out immediately!"
Fubao: "Then how did you find such a job?"
Zhuzi scratched his head and said, "The manager and my father used to be good brothers, escorting each other, and they were close friends. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let me go."
Fubao had some guesses in her mind. She had a hunch that this unspeakable thing was the weapon she was looking for!
Zhuzi looked at her and said quickly, "Don't worry, I've been working there for a while and I can go home every day. It's not very tiring, I can rest after working for half a day. I'll talk to them, and even if I don't go, I'll arrange for your father to go in."
It is not easy to find a job here that can earn three hundred coins in half a day. In Zhuzi's eyes, this is the most profitable and easiest job he can do.
Fubao smiled and said, "My family just moved here. There are too many things to do. My father doesn't have time to go. Wait until we are settled, and then we will come to see you."
Zhuzi nodded firmly.
Fu Bao asked curiously, "Where is that pier?"
Zhuzi shook his head: "We usually go to a secluded place and are blindfolded before being led there. So I don't know either."
Fubao was surprised: "So strict."
Zhuzi: "The superior is of a very noble status, we are not even allowed to take a look at him. But we can earn so much money, we don't want to lose this job, so we all kept it a secret. If I hadn't returned halfway today, I'm afraid that even if you send someone to look for me, they wouldn't be able to find me."
Fu Bao looked at his bloody feet, took out some hemostatic powder and said, "Wash the mud off, then sprinkle this powder on the wound, and it will heal in two days."
Only then did Zhuzi notice that his foot was injured. He touched his face embarrassedly, and ended up rubbing off a layer of mud.
Fubao stood up and said, "Take good care of Sister Xiaoman and the child today. We are leaving first."
Zhuzi walked the two of them all the way to the door, watched them return to their home, and then closed the door with peace of mind.
Fubao and Zhao Xiuer looked at each other and closed the gate.
Zhao Xiuer whispered cautiously, "Could it be what he said is what you are looking for?" These days, Fubao went out early and came back late, strolling around the busiest market every day. He also often went to the dock to sit and play chess with Li Shuangrong. Zhao Xiuer also saw that she must be looking for something.
Fu Bao nodded: "It's possible. I've met a lot of foreign businessmen over the past few days. They are all kinds of people, but none of them mentioned that thing. It seems that it is not allowed openly."
The letter sent by Xiao Shun was very vague because he was afraid that someone else might intercept it. Fu Bao only knew that she needed to find a weapon and didn't know anything else.
It's a job like looking for a needle in a haystack. If it were someone else, they would have given up long ago.
Fubao still goes to check every day, and if there is any news, he will not go home for the whole day.
Finally, we got the latest news today.
Li Shuangrong came out from the inner room and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Come back quickly. You didn't rest all day today. How can a child grow taller without sleep?"
Fubao stuck out his tongue, followed him in, washed himself, and lay on the bed, tossing and turning. I thought he would be too excited to sleep, but unexpectedly, after a quarter of an hour, he slowly closed his eyes...
