Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 70 Gift-giving backfires and makes money

"What happened?" The deputy director asked again, his brow furrowed.

The young comrade immediately told the two of them about the commotion Bai Jing had caused.

"What's wrong with you? How dare you accept such a generous gift? Quick, take me there!"

Five wild boars, that's a lot of meat! The police station doesn't even make that much meat in a year.

Seeing the deputy director's grim expression, the young comrade knew that if things went wrong, everyone might be punished.

Meanwhile, Bai Jing had already carried the wild boar into the canteen.

Bai Jing was surprised to learn that the head chef in the cafeteria could even slaughter pigs.

Here they are, setting up a big pot to boil water in the courtyard.

When the deputy director and Team Leader Lin arrived, the first pig had already been put into a wooden tub to soak, waiting to be scalded and have its hair removed.

"What are you all doing?" The deputy director's attention was also drawn to the wild boars laid out on the ground; it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Bai Jing, brush in hand, walked towards the deputy director.

"Director, you're here! Come quick, this is a thank-you gift for everyone." Bai Jing was in a very good mood.

Seeing her deputy director made me feel a little uneasy.

"Comrade Bai, we dare not accept this gift, but we can help you tidy up, after all, you are a hero to us." The deputy director did not want to break the rules.

"How can this be? This is a thank-you gift that I specially brought back from the mountains for everyone. Director, are you not accepting it because you don't appreciate the thank-you gift I sent?" Bai Jing felt a little wronged.

Her eyes reddened easily.

"No, Comrade Bai, please don't misunderstand. We are public officials, how can we accept gifts of gratitude from the people? What we did was what we should do, we can't accept this thanks."

If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be them thanking her.

"No, if you don't accept it today, then I'll, I'll, I'll cry for you." Bai Jing no longer had the worldly wisdom she had in her previous life; all she felt was the grievance of having her good intentions betrayed.

At this moment, Aunt Zhou, having received the news, also rushed over.

Just then, she heard Bai Jing's words and burst out laughing, which was quite unkind of her.

"Xiao Jing, you can't let our deputy director suffer, or he'll be crying with you later."

Aunt Zhou's arrival made Bai Jing feel even more aggrieved. "Aunt Zhou."

"Alright, we appreciate your kindness, but we can't do something like that. We're all here to serve the people, how can we take even a needle or thread from them? That's not how the old man taught us."

"Aunt Zhou." Seeing that Aunt Zhou wasn't on her side, Bai Jing felt even more aggrieved. Thinking of the boxes of gold she had stored in her system space, she felt even more guilty.

"Don't cry. How about this, we'll buy it at the market price. That way, we can satisfy both sides, okay?" Aunt Zhou stepped forward and patted Bai Jing's shoulder. "We understand your good intentions, but being in this kind of work position, you have to think about us too, don't you?"

"Next year, the title of deputy director will be removed from our deputy director position. You can't let him make a mistake at this time."

These words were whispered in Bai Jing's ear, so only she heard them.

Bai Jing's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Of course, would your aunt lie to you? Come on, I'll take you to the finance department."

After seeing that Officer Zhou had taken care of things, the deputy director's smile deepened.

Some older people even envy the deputy director for having such a capable wife.

That's right, Aunt Zhou is the wife of the deputy director. The deputy director's surname is Shao, his given name is Guodong, and he is only thirty-eight years old this year. The fact that he can become a deputy director at his age shows that his family has a lot of connections.

Only after Bai Jing had walked far away did the deputy director leave with Team Leader Lin. As they left, he told the canteen staff to hurry up so that no one would smell the odor.

Finance Office.

After Deputy Director Shao and Team Leader Lin arrived, Aunt Zhou then had the finance department settle the bill for Bai Jing.

Don't ask why they won't weigh them; the answer is Bai Jing doesn't want to. She only pays 200 jin per pig, and won't give any more than that.

Aunt Zhou couldn't argue with her, so she had no choice but to comply.

And so, the two of them came over to sign and pay.

Bai Jing felt guilty after receiving so much money.

Waaah, she really came here to give a thank-you gift, not to make money.

Seeing the conflicted expression on her face, Captain Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, we've accepted your kindness. Putting aside the price of the meat, we've also gotten a good deal on the weight. If you give any more leeway, it'll be making us make a mistake." Captain Lin stepped forward and wrapped up the money for Bai Jing. "Take this money to the bank tomorrow. It's not safe to keep it on your person."

"Thank you, Captain Lin, I understand."

Seeing that she was still like this, Deputy Director Shao was also quite helpless. "Alright, if you keep doing this, don't come visiting anymore. We'll pretend we don't know you."

“That won’t do.” Bai Jing immediately raised her head. “I was saved by Captain Lin. Captain Lin is my benefactor, my family. Captain Lin works for the Public Security Bureau, and so do I.”

"Haha, good, you're one of our police officers too, Comrade Xiaobai. We're all family, so don't be upset. We're all family, don't be so formal."

Bai Jing was no match for the deputy director; he easily made her laugh with just a few words.

"I never expected that Aunt Zhou would be the bureau chief's wife. I really didn't expect that."

After leaving the finance department, Shao Guodong introduced himself to Bai Jing and also told her about his relationship with Zhou Gong'an.

This also proves that he truly considers her family.

"You wouldn't believe it, would you? I didn't expect it either when I first joined the team," Team Leader Lin replied with a smile.

In the end, Bai Jing was taken to the hospital by Captain Lin on a bicycle.

When she returned, she was naturally questioned by her mother.

Aunt Wang has already gone back home. Now that Bai Jing is here, Aunt Wang is usually allowed to go home at night.

"It's really nothing. If you don't believe me, I'll have Captain Lin come over tomorrow to prove it himself."

Luo Chunhua glared at her, "You actually went into the mountains to look at a house? You're really bold. But wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to send a few pigs over?"

Only those who have truly experienced the scarcity of resources these days know how precious meat is.

"There's nothing wrong with it. We've already given it away, and besides, they didn't take anything else; they paid us."

As she spoke, Bai Jing took the money she had received from the Public Security Bureau from her cloth bag and placed it in front of her mother.

"It's six hundred yuan in total, Mom, you count it." There were five wild boars in total, each weighing two hundred jin, and the price of the live pig was six mao, so it's six hundred yuan.

Seeing the six bundles of black 10s, Luo Chunhua was so frightened her heart almost stopped.

"You brat, put it away right now, aren't you afraid someone will covet it?"

As she spoke, Luo Chunhua began putting the money into her cloth bag.

She didn't feel at ease until she finished filling the cloth bag and held it in her arms.

"With so much money, take it to the bank tomorrow. There was also a lot of money at home last time, so take it and deposit it too. It's not safe to keep it on your person."

Bai Jing didn't argue with her mother and nodded in agreement.

I originally intended to give a gift, but not only did I fail to deliver it, I also made some money.

She really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

What Bai Jing didn't expect was that the next day after breakfast, Aunt Luo from next door came to her door.

"Hey girl, you're here. Perfect timing, I have something to tell you."

She discussed it with her husband at home for a long time, and then asked the old man for his opinion. After the old man agreed, she came to find Bai Jing.
