Chapter 271 Sending Gold Bars

"Who do you take me for, Song Mingshan?"

"I thought you were someone who wanted to accumulate merits and then leave this place."

Shi Xia's words left Song Mingshan speechless.

Is it okay to say this directly?

Shi Xia smiled knowingly and said, "You don't need to be embarrassed. Which official doesn't think this way? There's nothing wrong with it. As long as it really brings benefits to the people, it's normal for you to want credit."

"I'm different. I just want to... make some noise. I've already accumulated a lot of credit, so it doesn't matter whether I get it or not. I like going out fishing, I don't like the office. You like the office, and you're the chairman, so all the credit is yours. We can cooperate happily, isn't that good?"

Shi Xia explained things clearly, and Song Mingshan naturally understood. However, the long-standing political struggles made him suspicious.

"Comrade Shi Xia, what good will this do you?"

"I feel great, I'm so happy."

Song Mingshan: "..."

"I can tell you're a victim and can't believe it. It's okay, just ask the big boss. That's how I do things."

"Don't worry, it wouldn't take this long to scam you."

"Remember to prepare all the documents. We're leaving in three days."

Shi Xia left.

Song Mingshan tried to stop him with his hand in mid-air, the words on the tip of his tongue swirling around, but he couldn't utter a single one.

"Okay, let's get to work."

He appointed someone to prepare the documents.

After leaving, Shi Xia went to visit Baldy Brother.

Although the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, Baldy sent something to Hai San Island every three days—a chicken one day, a piece of meat the next, sometimes fresh fruit, sometimes delicious snacks.

In short, the supplies never stopped.

When Shi Xia arrived at Baldy's place, she saw several people inside, and Baldy was directing them to move.

Where are we moving to?

When Shi Xia suddenly appeared, Baldy was overjoyed.

"Girl! You're back."

"You're back? What's this?"

"Let's find somewhere else to stay. Come on, girl, let's talk inside."

Shi Xia went inside, and the bald guy only realized there was nothing there after he entered the house.

There are no snacks here either.

"Stop busy, let's talk."

"Row!"

The bald guy pulled over a stool and started talking about recent events.

“I’ve noticed things are getting more tense lately. It’s not easy to continue doing business on the black market anymore; the risks are too high. I’ve made quite a bit of money, though, so I’m doing something else.”

"What else?"

The bald guy chuckled and pulled a work ID out of his pocket.

“I got myself a job and also got a few of my brothers into it.”

Shi Xia took it and raised an eyebrow.

Scrap metal recycling station.

"Good, you retreated well."

Shi Xia had originally intended to remind the bald guy, but now it seems unnecessary.

"That is."

The bald guy touched his smooth head and told Shi Xia his new address. It was close to the recycling station, so he simply moved there.

Shi Xia remembered.

She took a brown paper package out of her pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards the bald man.

"For you."

"What?"

The bald guy opened a corner, then quickly buttoned it up again.

"Girl, what's this?"

"This is for you, a housewarming gift."

The bald man felt the solid texture of the gold bars in his hand; there were at least twenty gold bars there, a housewarming gift?
"Girl, this..."

"Take it."

Shi Xia's words left no room for refusal. She patted the gold bar and said, "To me, it's nothing."

"You've given me so many things, and I haven't paid you anything." The bald guy said, half-laughing and half-crying, "I don't need any of these, and besides, I didn't expect you to give me any money."

He really treated Shi Xia like a girl.

“I know you don’t want money, and I’m not short of money either. This thing is like a rock to me; I can just grab some whenever I want.”

Looking at Shi Xia, who was unconsciously flaunting her wealth, the bald guy really wanted to ask: Where are you going to fish for her? Can he go there?

"Keep it. I'm leaving now. If you need anything, send a message to Hai San Island. If I'm not home, have Grandpa pass on a message to me."

"it is good!"

Baldy accepted it; being too polite would hurt feelings.

He saw Shi Xia out and took everything he could from the house for her, especially the two fox fur coats, one red and one white, without a single stray hair, they were extremely beautiful.

“Someone was selling leather, and I bought it. You can take it back and make a scarf or a vest or something.”

"Okay, I like it, I'll take it!"

Shi Xia simply took it; it was truly rare and exceptionally beautiful.

Carrying a bunch of things, Shi Xia went to the ferry, where Accountant Xu was waiting for her.

When Accountant Xu saw Shi Xia from afar, he quickly came over to help. The two boarded the boat and went home.

When Shi Xia returned to Hai San Island, she left two-thirds of the things with Grandpa Shi and Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen, and took the rest back to Hai Ming Island.

She sailed back to Haiming Island herself, and Big White followed her back.

After returning home, Shi Xia quickly tidied up her things and then went to see Lin Sisi.

She brought a lot of things to replenish qi and blood and gave them to Lin Sisi. The two of them didn't stand on ceremony, and Lin Sisi accepted them very readily.

She stayed for a while and then went home.

I happened to run into Fu Xue coming home from get off work.

"Shi Xia, I bought some pork ribs. Do you prefer them steamed or braised?"

"Braised in soy sauce".

After Shi Xia finished speaking without any politeness, she told Fu Xue to wait a moment.

When she came out again, she was carrying twenty catties of rice, twenty catties of wheat flour, a pot of soybean oil, five catties of lard, and a slaughtered chicken.

Fu Xue wanted to help, but Shi Xia rejected her.

"Move aside."

Shi Xia took everything into Fu Xue's kitchen, then turned to her and said, "Eat slowly, I'll get you more if you run out."

"Give them all to me?"

"Nonsense, your Xue Gang can't even eat what he wants, what's wrong with me giving him this little something?"

"You don't not want it, do you?"

One sentence startled Fu Xue so much that she quickly shook her head.

"I want it!"

"That's right, cook the ribs until they're very tender."

Shi Xia left.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Fu Xue seemed to be beaming with pride, her tail practically sticking out of her mouth, as if she wanted to wag it all over the place.

"Shi Xia is so nice."

"I got married too early. Why am I not a real man?"

Fu Xue resumed her daily regrets and started cooking.

That evening, Wen Chengan, Xue Gang, and Zhou Yusheng returned together.

They all saw smoke coming from the chimney. Wen Chengan quickened his pace; his wife had returned.

Xue Gang went home following the aroma of braised pork ribs.

"Honey, can you save a piece for me?"

"I'll keep it!"

Fu Xue answered as she walked out of the kitchen, carrying a large plate of braised pork ribs to the next room.

Xue Gang, already accustomed to this routine, walked towards the kitchen and saw a small plate on the stove with eight spare ribs clearly visible.

"Not bad, at least we can see meat."

For a while, he didn't even know what dishes his family was cooking; he could only smell them.

At that moment, Fu Xue's voice came from next door as she delivered vegetables, along with Shi Xia's voice.

"take it back."

A short while later, Fu Xue returned carrying two steamed lobsters.

Xue Gang's eyes lit up; there would be meat for dinner tonight!
