Chapter 115 Not a Matchmaker
Shi Xia went to the address given by the bald guy and found a heavy box.

Locked?

Clap!

The lock is broken.

It was straightforward and without any ripples.

Inside the box was a thick brown paper bag. Shi Xia opened it and looked inside, respecting others' privacy...
Excuse me, what time is it? Stop being so dramatic.

The information comes from a family surnamed Wen, and includes many of their connections in various places and positions. The bald guy has helped many of them with their affairs, and he has quite a lot of information at his disposal.

It seems that the Wen family is the one messing with the Qu family.

Shi Xia carefully tucked the documents into her pocket, called out to Xiao Ying, and the two of them, one human and one bird, raced to the Qu family's residence in the dead of night.

The Qu family lives in a residential area with security patrols.

For Shi Xia, it was all a piece of cake. She quietly sneaked into the Qu family home and appeared at the bedside of Director Qu and Madam Qu in the middle of the night. If Shi Xia hadn't covered Madam Qu's mouth in time, a scream would have been inevitable.

"It's me, Shi Xia."

Even though Leader Qu was a man of many experience, he was still quite frightened by Shi Xia. If he hadn't gone to the bathroom before going to bed, he probably would have had to change his pants by now.

Madam Qu was still in shock and wanted to turn on the light.

"Don't turn on the light."

Shi Xia reminded him and handed the brown paper bag in her hand to Leader Qu.

"The bald guy has been arrested. They want him to reveal the Qu family's affairs. Here's some information about our rivals. Use it yourselves. And a word of advice: plan ahead. Your family... is too rich."

She was even tempted to rob someone!

Finally, Director Qu regained his composure and said cautiously, "I will handle it as soon as possible."

He had sensed the recent tightening of restrictions and was looking for a way out. He thought he still had time, but now it seemed that time was running out.

"You all get some rest, goodnight, I'm leaving!"

Shi Xia left without warning; even Leader Qu didn't hear a sound. She was gone.

Such a capable person...is both frightening and admirable.

Mrs. Qu gripped Leader Qu's arm with concern.

"Old Qu..."

"It's alright, at worst we can give up all these material possessions and go to the countryside."

Mrs. Qu's fingers suddenly clenched, and Leader Qu looked at her reassuringly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I mean... if it really comes to that, what do you think about us going to the three islands in the sea?"

"The three islands?"

Leader Qu's eyes lit up; sometimes, the places Xia was in would be a little different.

"It's not that far yet."

"Ah."

The two of them stopped sleeping. Leader Qu put on his clothes, lit a candle, and looked through the documents, trying to find a better way out.

After leaving the Qu family, Shi Xia, instead of staying at a guesthouse, simply found a big tree and lay on its trunk for half the night.

The next day, before dawn, Shi Xia took advantage of the fact that no one was around to go downstairs and prepare to buy building materials.

Everything is now publicly owned, so she went to the commune to find Director Ma.

Director Ma knew Shi Xia, the islander who proposed planting kelp and laver. She was very insightful and dedicated.

"Comrade Shi Xia, I was just thinking of going to Hai San Island to do some research. How are your kelp and laver growing there?"

"The seaweed is about the length of an arm, and the first batch can be harvested in a while. The kelp will have to wait for more than a month, but it has grown quite a bit."

Upon hearing this, Director Ma became even more eager to go and take a look, as this was all valuable data and experience.

"Good, good, good, you all deserve credit. If this succeeds, I will definitely select your island as an advanced collective."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xia immediately asked, "Are there any outstanding individuals?"

"Hahaha! Of course we have to!"

After Director Ma inquired about the seaweed issue, he remembered to ask Shi Xia about her purpose.

"I want to build a house because there are too many people in my family, and we can't fit them all in. I want to buy some bricks and tiles."

"Bricks and tiles... okay, I'll write you a note, you can go to the brick factory and count them yourself." Director Ma didn't make things difficult for Shi Xia and directly approved the note.

These days, it's true that bricks and tiles are hard to buy, and it's also true that few people are buying them.

Shi Xia took the approved slip to the brick factory and easily bought the bricks and tiles she needed. She arranged to pick up the goods in five days and then came by boat to collect them.

After the brick and tile issue was resolved, Shi Xia had nothing else to do for the time being.

As for Baldy and the Qu family's affairs, they will handle them themselves, so she doesn't need to worry about them.

Shi Xia simply went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought her things, and then took the ferry back to the three islands.

As soon as Shi Xia disembarked from the ferry at Hai San Island, she saw a woman walking towards her.

look unfamiliar.

"Comrade Shi Xia, my name is Guo Yunyun, I am a newly arrived educated youth. These are some pancakes I made, please have some."

Shi Xia didn't take it.

Guo Yunyun wasn't embarrassed at all.

"I don't come here unless I need something from you."

Shi Xia said "oh" and walked past Guo Yunyun, who followed her without giving up.

"I heard you know people in the military. Could you introduce me to a single guy?"

"I'm good-looking and have a big butt, so I'm sure I'll be good at giving birth. Anyone who marries me will be a good match, really!"

Guo Yunyun volunteered without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

"I'm treating you to this pancake so you can help me find someone to help me, not because it's guaranteed to work out."

Guo Yunyun quickened her pace and blocked Shi Xia's path, handing out the pancake again.

Shi Xia still didn't answer.

"Take the cakes back. I won't be a matchmaker."

When a couple argues, one of them will inevitably say, "How could I have been so blind to marry you? Wouldn't she be asking for trouble by being the matchmaker?"

Guo Yunyun watched as Shi Xia walked past her again. Considering Shi Xia's status in the village, she didn't dare to chase after her. She snorted, twisted her body, and stomped her feet.

"What's so great about him! No matter how great he is, he's still just a fisherman. What's he pretending for!"

"What's so great about you? I can't even meet people without you. How interesting!"

Guo Yunyun tossed her hair, turned around with a hum, and muttered curses.

"Hey—you damn bird—get away—get away!"

Four or five seagulls chased after Guo Yunyun, and bird droppings fell like a relentless downpour.

Shi Xia, who was in front, raised her hand and caught the little eagle that flew back, rewarding it with her superpower: "Well done."

The little eagle rubbed its fluffy head against Shi Xia's palm.

Soon, Shi Xia returned home, and the first person she saw was Old Master Xu, who was glaring at her with a beard bristling.

"I quit! Kill me then! I've never been insulted like this in decades!"

Grandpa Xu stood angrily with his hands on his hips at Shi Xia's door, panting, looking like he had been humiliated.

"What play is this?"

As soon as Shi Xia spoke, Grandpa Xu immediately pointed to Grandpa Shi in the courtyard, finding his pillar of support.

"Who else could it be! Your grandfather!"

"He insisted that my medicine was unclean. I boiled the medicine for more than two hours, and he filtered out all the dregs. How can I drink it?"

"Besides, this is traditional Chinese medicine. What do you mean it's unclean? Even rat poop is medicinal material. What are you being so fussy about!"

Shi Xia understood: Grandpa Shi was a germaphobe, and Grandpa Xu was worried about the Chinese medicine.

“Crimson…”

"Hey!"

Shi Xia looked at Xu Danhong and said, "You cook another bowl, and I'll give it to Grandpa."

"it is good!"

Xu Danhong went to brew the medicine, and Old Master Xu was about to say something in a huff.

"Old Xu, what do you think of my ambergris?"
