Siheyuan: Selling antiques? Only making 28,000 RMB from 30,000 RMB

At night, the town square was brightly lit, and people gathered here to watch various performances. Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei brought their children to watch, and laughter and cheers continued to echo in the night sky.

"Yuzhu, today is such a wonderful night." Lin Xiaomei said gently, holding Zhou Dong's hand.

Zhou Dong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiaomei. The smiling faces of these children make me feel that everything is worth it."

Lin Xiaomei leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Yuzhu, I really hope our life can always be so beautiful."

Zhou Dong held her hand tightly and said firmly: "Xiaomei, no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we will face them together. As long as we are together, we will be able to overcome everything."

As the night deepened, Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei held hands and walked on the way home, their hearts filled with hope and confidence for the future.

A few days later, when Zhou Dong was sorting books in the bookstore, he suddenly received a letter from Zhang Deliang, saying that his friend was very interested in their cultural center plan and hoped to meet and discuss cooperation in detail.

Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei discussed it and decided to meet Zhang Deliang's friend. They packed their luggage and set off on a new journey with their children.

During the journey, Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei met many new friends and saw many beautiful scenery. They stopped at various places to experience different cultures and customs.

Finally, they arrived at the town where Zhang Deliang's friend lived. The beautiful scenery and fresh air here were exactly their ideal living environment.

Zhang Deliang took them to meet his friend, a gentle and wise old man, who warmly welcomed them and introduced the plans and goals of the cultural center in detail.

"Mr. He, Ms. Lin, we hope that this cultural center can become a place to spread knowledge and culture. We need talented people like you to realize this dream together," said the old man.

Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei were very interested in this plan, and they decided to join the project and contribute their own strength.

In the following days, Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei worked hard with Zhang Deliang and his friends to build the cultural center. They held various cultural activities, attracting more and more people to participate. The cultural center gradually became the most popular place in the town, where everyone shared knowledge, exchanged ideas and had a good time.

Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei's family also took root in the town, and their lives became more and more fulfilling and happy. They knew that no matter where they went, as long as they had love and faith in their hearts, they would be able to find their own happiness.

One evening, Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei stood at the entrance of the cultural center, watching the sunset slowly sink into the horizon. They held hands, their hearts full of longing for the future.

"Yuzhu, our lives are getting better and better." Lin Xiaomei said with a smile.

Zhou Dong nodded and said gently: "Yes, Xiaomei. As long as we are together, no matter how many storms there are in the future, we can go through them together."

Lin Xiaomei leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility and happiness.

Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei's work at the cultural center is getting more and more handy, and their lives are gradually getting back on track. However, Zhou Dong has never forgotten Xu Damao's false accusations and frame-ups against him. In order to retaliate against Xu Damao, he decided to take some action.

One day, while Zhou Dong was busy in the bookstore, he received a call from an old friend who worked in a factory in the town and had recently heard some news about Xu Damao.

"Yuzhu, I heard that Xu Damao has been doing some shady things recently. He seems to be in contact with several gangsters in town and is preparing to do something illegal." The old friend said on the phone.

Zhou Dong was shocked when he heard this. He knew this was an opportunity. He decided to secretly investigate Xu Damao's movements, collect evidence, and bring him to justice.

In order not to arouse Xu Damao's suspicion, Zhou Dong went to work as usual every day, managing the bookstore and cultural center with Lin Xiaomei. He began to use some of his free time to secretly follow Xu Damao and observe his behavior.

One evening, Zhou Dong saw Xu Damao sneaking out of his house and heading toward the woods outside the town. He followed him quietly and found Xu Damao and a few hooligans discussing something in the woods.

"Are you sure this operation is foolproof?" Xu Damao asked in a low voice, his tone full of nervousness and anxiety.

A gangster smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xu, we have already made arrangements. As long as you act according to the plan, no one will find out."

Zhou Dong hid in the dark and listened carefully to their conversation. He knew that Xu Damao must be planning some illegal activities. He decided to continue following them until he collected enough evidence.

A few days later, Zhou Dong finally found an opportunity. He saw Xu Damao and the gangsters doing business in an abandoned warehouse in the town. He took out the camera he carried with him and secretly filmed their transaction process.

After returning home, Zhou Dong sorted out the photos and attached detailed instructions, ready to hand over the evidence to the town's law enforcement department. He knew that this would completely expose Xu Damao's true face and seek justice for himself and Qin Huairu.

The next day, Zhou Dong went to the town's law enforcement department with evidence. He explained in detail to the person in charge what Xu Damao had done and submitted all the photos and explanations.

After carefully reading the evidence, the person in charge nodded and said, "Mr. He, the evidence you provided is very important. We will immediately launch an investigation and handle this matter according to the law."

Zhou Dong breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Xu Damao's evil deeds would finally be punished.

A few days later, law enforcement conducted a surprise inspection on Xu Damao, found a large number of illegal items, and arrested him and several accomplices on the spot. The news spread throughout the town, and everyone was shocked by Xu Damao's true face, but also admired Zhou Dong's brave behavior.

"Yuzhu, you are really our hero!" Liu Dahai said excitedly, "You exposed Xu Damao's evil deeds and protected everyone's safety."

Zhou Dong smiled and shook his head. “Don’t say that, I just did what I should do. Each of us has the responsibility to protect our homeland.”

Qin Huairu also looked at Zhou Dong with gratitude, "Yuzhu, thank you for seeking justice for me and everyone else. You are such an upright person."

Zhou Dong smiled slightly, "Sister Qin, we are friends, this is what I should do. As long as we are united, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome."

After Xu Damao was brought to justice, life in the town returned to normal. Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei continued to work hard at the cultural center, and their lives became better and better.

One day, Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei were sorting out materials at the cultural center when they suddenly received a strange phone call. A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. He, I have important news to tell you."

Zhou Dong was a little confused, but he listened patiently. The other party continued: "I know the grudge between you and Xu Damao, but you may not know that he has some deeper secrets. These secrets may pose a greater threat to you and your friends."

Zhou Dong was shocked, knowing that the matter was not simple. He decided to meet the mysterious phone owner and find out the truth.

A few days later, Zhou Dong came to a teahouse outside the town as agreed. He saw a middle-aged man sitting in the corner with a serious expression. The man saw Zhou Dong coming in, nodded slightly, and motioned him to sit down.

"Mr. He, my name is Li Ming, and I'm a private detective. I recently investigated some cases involving Xu Damao and found that there is a bigger force behind him controlling him." Li Ming said straight to the point.

Zhou Dong frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Xu Damao has been arrested. What other plots can he have?"

Li Ming sighed, "It's not that simple. Xu Damao is just a small fry, and the person behind him is the real mastermind. If we can't expose this mastermind, he will continue to harm the people in the town."

Zhou Dong felt uneasy after hearing this. He knew that this matter must not be taken lightly. He decided to investigate with Li Ming to uncover the real mastermind.

In the following weeks, Zhou Dong and Li Ming secretly launched an investigation. They found that there was indeed a mysterious organization behind Xu Damao, which was engaged in various illegal activities in the town, including smuggling and drug trafficking.

Late one night, Zhou Dong and Li Ming sneaked into a secret base of the organization. They found a large number of illegal items and transaction records. Zhou Dong took out his camera and took pictures of all the evidence.

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard footsteps outside. Zhou Dong and Li Ming quickly hid in the dark and saw several men in black walking in.

"The situation is a bit tense lately. We have to be careful." A man in black whispered.

The other man nodded. "Don't worry, the boss has already made arrangements. As long as we follow the plan, no one will be able to discover our secret."

Zhou Dong and Li Ming held their breath and waited for them to leave before quietly leaving the secret base. They sorted out all the evidence and prepared to hand it over to the law enforcement department again.

The next day, Zhou Dong and Li Ming went to the law enforcement department and handed all the evidence to the person in charge. After reading it, the person in charge's expression became serious, "Mr. He, Mr. Li, your discovery is very important. We will take action immediately to completely eradicate this organization."

A few days later, law enforcement agencies raided the organization's base and successfully arrested all the members. The mastermind behind the mysterious organization was also brought to justice, and the safety of the town was guaranteed.

Zhou Dong and Li Ming became heroes in the town, and everyone admired and appreciated their bravery and just actions.

"Yuzhu, you are our pride!" Liu Dahai said excitedly, "If it weren't for you, we might still be kept in the dark."
