Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

“I can eat spicy food too, it’s fine,” Shang Guohua explained.

Gao Jianguo quickly stir-fried the rabbit meat and then stir-fried a cabbage, before calling everyone to eat together.

"Sir, Yanfang's dinner is ready." Gao Jianguo placed two plates of rabbit meat in front of the two of them.

Shang Guohua was holding a plate of stir-fried cabbage.

"Here's some rice. Eat rice." Gao Jianguo said, dividing the cooked rice among the group.

"Is there enough for Gao Jianguo?"

"That's enough. I made a lot today. I was thinking of making Grandpa some fried rice with eggs tonight if there was any left," Gao Jianguo explained.

"Grandpa Chen, I'm sorry, there's no more egg fried rice for you tonight," Shang Yanfang said apologetically, sticking out her tongue.

"It's alright, little girl, Grandpa just doesn't know what fried rice with eggs is." Old Master Chen didn't hold back at all for his grandson.

"Let's eat, everyone, let's eat," Gao Jianguo said, inviting the group to join him in the meal.

“Wait, Grandpa Chen, let me introduce you to someone. This is my older brother, Shang Guohua, a soldier. He's here to see me.” Shang Yanfang said, pointing to Shang Guohua sitting next to her.

"Here, Grandpa, you eat first." Shang Yanfang said, putting a non-spicy rabbit head on Grandpa Chen's plate.

Only after seeing that Grandpa Chen had eaten did she pick up a piece of spicy rabbit meat.

"Mmm, this is the taste, so satisfying." Shang Yanfang ate while giving Gao Jianguo a (you're awesome) gesture.

"Brother Lai, you should try some, Gao Jianguo, you should try some too, I like it." After serving food to all three of them, Shang Yanfang finally felt at ease and started eating her own meal.

For a moment, only the clatter of bowls and chopsticks could be heard. No one spoke.

Just as the group finished their meal.

Then she heard a group of people coming towards her house.

"Jianguo, Jianguo, are you home? The police need to see you about something." Captain Lu walked in with a group of people.

There were about ten people following behind him.

"Jianguo, Uncle Chen, this is Xiao Liu, the policeman from our commune. He received a report that Jianguo beat up Wang Damaizi." Captain Lu briefly told Gao Jianguo about the matter.

"Captain, when did this happen? How come I didn't know?" Gao Jianguo looked at the captain with a blank expression.

"It was you, you're the one who hit me!" Wang Damaizi's mother pointed at Li Jianguo and reached out to hit him.

Gao Jianguo knew he couldn't stoop to the level of a shrew, so he simply used Lu Dui Zhang and Police Officer Liu as shields, hiding behind them.

Wang Mazi's mother didn't hit Gao Jianguo. She hit Liu Gong'an and Captain Lu all the time.

"Snap." The world finally fell silent.

Shang Yanfang's mouth dropped open; this was the first time she had ever seen such a scene, and she couldn't help but be shocked.

"That's enough, apologize to Officer Liu," Captain Lu shouted.

Li Dabao—the person who reported the case this time, Wang Mazi's brother-in-law, works for the Revolutionary Committee.

Li Dabao hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag and stuffed it into Liu Gong'an's hand.

He added, "Come on, officer, have a smoke to calm down."

Liu, the police officer, is a young man with a strong sense of justice.

Not only did he refuse the cigarette offered to him, he also slapped it hard, knocking it to the ground.

"Comrade Li, I'm here to resolve this issue. I will report the events that just happened truthfully." As he spoke, Officer Liu was about to continue questioning Gao Jianguo.

He glanced at it casually and saw the cigarette pack he had just swatted away lying quietly on the ground, its lid accidentally opened.

Officer Liu picked up the cigarette box from the ground and gestured to everyone, saying, "You're bribing the police in public. You'll have to come back to the police station with me later."

Lu Youyou was quietly eating melon seeds in the crowd when her father kicked her and sent her flying.

While he was still in a daze, he heard the question, "Comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Well, I'm currently an active-duty soldier. I'd like to help you subdue this person first, in case he defects."

Lu Youyou's expression changed, and she gave Liu Gong'an a standard salute.

Seeing the perfect salute, Officer Liu also saluted Lu Youyou and said, "Thank you for your help, Comrade Lu."

Li Dabao was caught by Lu Youyou just as he was trying to sneak away.

"Comrade Gao, hello. I received a report that you assaulted Wang Mazi." Officer Liu really didn't want to stay here for another second. So he quickly inquired.

"No, I have no grudge against him. We even avoid each other when we walk. I have no interaction with him at all. Why would I hit him?" Gao Jianguo said calmly.

If Shang Guohua hadn't known the inside story, he would have almost been fooled by him.

"Um, I wanted to ask, when was Wang Damaizi beaten up?" Gao Jianguo asked Liu Gong'an with a look of ignorance.

"You don't know?" Officer Liu looked at Gao Jianguo in disbelief.

"I didn't know. My future brother-in-law came today, and I've been entertaining him the whole time!" Gao Jianguo said frankly.

Liu Gongan glanced at Shang Guohua, whose face was dark with anger, and then at the little girl who hadn't said a word.

Now I understand why that man's face was so dark. Who would be happy if their own adorable little sister was about to be taken advantage of by a scoundrel?

“I was beaten last night, and I called the police this morning. Wang Dama said it was around seven o’clock,” Officer Liu added.

“That definitely wasn’t us. Around seven o’clock, my partner and I were taking a walk. On our way back, we saw a group of middle-aged women, and we chatted for a while,” Gao Jianguo said.

Wang, an elderly woman in the crowd, said, "I can testify that we were chatting together at the time."

“I will also testify.”

“I’ll testify too,” several middle-aged women in the crowd raised their hands.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Comrade Gao. Please contact us if you have any leads," Officer Liu said before leaving.

A group of people then hurried away.

Only Shang Guohua remained, his face still dark with anger.

"You little brat, kneel down! Who told you to stay out so late with that girl? If you ruin her reputation, are you going to take responsibility?" Old Man Chen said, noticing that Shang Guohua's expression was still not very good.

Old Chen even picked up his cane, ready to hit Gao Jianguo.

"Don't hit him, don't hit him, Grandpa Chen, we still need to go up the mountain to chop firewood."

Seeing that the cane was about to strike, Shang Yanfang quickly stopped it.

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain to gather firewood." Shang Guohua's face wasn't so dark anymore. He got up first and walked out of the courtyard.

"Grandpa, wash the dishes, I'm going up the mountain to chop firewood." Gao Jianguo said, then slung his basket over his shoulder, grabbed his machete, and pulled Shang Yanfang along to follow Shang Guohua.

"Xiaofang, do we need to get some tools?" Shang Guohua asked, looking at Gao Jianguo's many tools.

"We also need to go back and get hemp rope, sacks, and baskets," Shang Yanfang said, as Shang Guohua slowly pushed Gao Jianguo away from his sister.
