1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 964 Can you just help me out?

He couldn't continue speaking at this point. No matter what, it was their fault. He took out an envelope from his pocket: "Brother Changsheng, this is what we agreed on before. It's three yuan a month. I applied for four months' worth. The extra ten yuan is to supplement Zhuifeng's food rations. I'm really sorry."

What he didn't dare say was that the very next night after Zhui Feng ran away, the grain station was burgled, and several sacks of grain were stolen.

Only people inside the commune police station and grain depot knew about this, and the thief who stole the grain has not been found so far.

Mr. Xiao looked at the envelope that was handed to him, unsure whether he should accept it or not.

Chu Xue reached out and took it from him: "Zhuifeng is my pet. Since we agreed that it would be a paid loan, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. As for compensation, my Zhuifeng deserves it. I don't even know how it survived every day."

Upon hearing Chu Xue's words, the man said, "Yes, yes, Ni Zi is right. We did not keep our promise, so we should receive this compensation."

Seeing that Zhui Feng had recovered quite a bit in just a few days, he rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Changsheng, Nizi, can I shamelessly ask you for a favor?"

Chu Xue gave him a cold glance, said nothing, and prepared to take Zhui Feng back to the courtyard.

When the man saw that the dog was about to be taken away, he said, "Girl, wait a minute, I really have something to discuss with you."

Chu Xue turned around: "If you still want to borrow Zhui Feng to help you watch the warehouse, then don't even mention it. This time, I won't agree no matter what you say."

Zhui Feng seemed to understand something, nuzzling Chu Xue's trouser leg and barking a few times at the people standing outside the gate, even tilting its head back to show off to Chu Xue. This amused Chu Xue.

At this moment, Qiu Shaofeng, who had arranged everything, came out and said, "Dad, come inside and sit down to talk."

The man at the grain station was already in the wrong, so he waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, it's just a matter of a few words. We have to rush back in a bit, so we won't go in."

Mr. Xiao was still angry, and when he heard them say this, he didn't invite them into the house: "That dog is indeed my daughter's. The reason I agreed to your request last time was because I had just arrived in the city and it wasn't convenient to take the dog with me. You were so eager for the dog, and since you were acquaintances, I couldn't refuse, so I agreed. But you know how you've taken care of the dog."

My daughter is here right now. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't make the decision for her. You heard what my second daughter said; she disagreed.

The man paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Brother Changsheng, we had no choice. The dog we kept at the grain station died suddenly, and we got another one, but it's too young to help."

He knew that saying these things wouldn't soften their hearts, so he simply pulled Xiao Ni out of the courtyard and walked a few steps before speaking: "Brother Changsheng, let me tell you the truth. The day after Zhuifeng went missing, the granary lost grain. Although it wasn't a lot, it was still more than a thousand catties."

We suspect that the reason our dog suddenly fell ill and died was likely related to those people. This is also the result of the police investigation in the past few days. So we would appreciate it if Brother Changsheng could be lenient and help us talk to your daughter.

Don't worry, Zhuifeng will take care of it himself this time, and he'll give us five yuan a month. Next month, when the higher-ups take away most of the feed, our little one will be able to hear and make noise again. Can you help me out?
