I went out to the hardware store at the entrance of the alley, and the store was still open at around 8 o’clock in the evening.
The hardware store owner sat at the door to enjoy the cool air. When he saw Dahai and I stood up happily and said, “Why did you fall down in one go, why don’t you get a few more, I’ll give you 50% off.”
Dahai said with a wry smile, “It’s not this.”
“I’ll have to cover the faucet, window latch, and sewer toilet blockage. You don’t know if you have learned a new business,” said the boss Han Dong.
“It’s not these things, I have something else to ask you for.” Dahai said.
“Try your efforts to ask for money, and those who borrow money are free of talks. The one in the house is very careful. Xiao Haizi, you don’t look like you are short of money at the entrance of the alley. I can tell your parents that you should not cause trouble.”
Dahai told all we know about and gave Han Dongting to the hardware store owner.
After hearing this, Han Dong scratched his hair and said, “Don’t say it, it seems that there is such a beautiful girl with a big and small bag. I remember that it was because she came more than once or twice. You also know that this is a dead end. It is understandable that she went in wrong once or twice, but it is strange to come in again and again. She seems to be able to stay for a while when she came, and she said she was very good at knowing her. At the beginning, I thought that my daughter-in-law came to visit her and didn’t care. She thought it was a bit suspicious.”
Dahai quickly patted my shoulder and said, “There is such a person.”
I asked directly, “So do you remember what a girl looks like?”
Han Dong shook his head and said, “Who dares to read these carefully? It’s not doing my job. If you see too much, the one in the house won’t pull my ears off. So, just call you and block the door next time you see it. I still have business here. Besides, what if I really visit someone, can I make it reasonable for me to block the house?”
