Chapter 122: I only found out he had a wife after I got pregnant

The young police officer's face froze and he sighed, "He's dead."

"What? He stole something and committed suicide out of fear of punishment?"

Zhang Xiumei, who was standing by, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Her eyes were full of disbelief. Are there still thieves with such thin skins these days?

Gu Wanxing was also very surprised. Could it be that the two people did not divide the spoils equally and one of them was killed?

The young police officer grinned, "Big sister, you're so funny! It wasn't suicide, it was murder. Yesterday morning we received a report that someone had died under the South Bridge. There hasn't been much rain these days, and the river is shallow, so the body was just exposed."

Zhang Xiumei wanted to continue asking for details, but was stopped by Gu Wanxing's eyes.

"So, comrade, what are we going to do? Should we go to the station to get our things now?"

"Well, you can go there after two o'clock in the afternoon." The policeman said goodbye and left.

He was also asked by Deputy Director Zheng to deliver a message, otherwise such a thing would never happen.

"Wanxing, we can't tell anyone about this. If people know that the clothes were taken from a dead person, how can we sell them?"

Zhang Xiumei immediately figured out the key point. Although most people here are not superstitious, it is definitely unlucky. First of all, she herself would not buy it.

Gu Wanxing pondered for a moment and said, "Well, let's just pretend we know nothing. I'll go there by myself this afternoon. If we go there with more people, we'll be a bigger target. We'd better keep a low profile."

"Sister, what are you afraid of? Just sell it at a lower price when the time comes. There will be plenty of people vying for it. It was just stolen, not taken from a dead body. It's not that scary."

Gu Qingqing curled her red lips and said nonchalantly.

She had been thinking about going to the city these days to see if she could find a job, but then her sister suddenly appeared and insisted on asking her to sell clothes.

She came reluctantly.

Gu Wanxing had no idea what was going on in her mind. If he knew, he would definitely roll his eyes to the sky.

The reason I called her here was simply to prevent her from repeating the mistakes of her previous life.

In her previous life, Gu Qingqing sneaked into the city and worked as a hotel waitress. She eventually fell in love with a forty-something old man from Hong Kong Island.

I only found out he was married when I got pregnant.

When it was time to give birth, the girl didn't dare tell her family. The old man returned to Hong Kong and found her. Only then did she know what had happened.

When she rushed to the hospital, the man's wife was grabbing Gu Qingqing's hair and pulling her off the bed.

It was like carrying a chick. Luckily she went, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Until her death, Gu Qingqing stayed in the city with her son and did not dare to go home.

When she got home, her mother was so angry that she rolled her eyes and fainted.

"What do you know? Learn more from your sister Xiumei. It's almost done. I'll go get the remaining goods from my place and hang them up."

Gu Wanxing was too lazy to pay attention to her. After saying that, he looked at the hanging racks nailed on the wall and the custom-made steel frames below. He felt a little secretly happy in his heart. The small shop that he had decorated with his own hands was about to open.

Just thinking about this feeling makes me feel particularly satisfied and accomplished.

"Then I'll go with you to get it." Gu Qingqing said obediently.

"No, I can do it alone."

Gu Wanxing refused directly. She was thinking of getting the goods from the space, so how could she take her with her.

"Okay, go ahead. I'll take Qingqing with me to clean the shelves and the mirrors until they're shiny."

There was a long mirror nailed to the wall. Gu Wanxing had spent a lot of effort on that mirror. He had someone get a defective product from the glass factory. It was a slightly convex mirror. This kind of mirror has the effect of diverging light, making the image look narrower than it actually is.

If it were in the future, this kind of mirror would be everywhere on the streets, but now, it is a defective product in the glass factory.

So it took a lot of effort to do this.

Gu Wanxing rode away on her bike, and less than two minutes after she left, Fu Zheng entered the store.

"Hey, brother-in-law, no, Brother Fu, why are you here?"

Gu Qingqing smiled cunningly, not at all embarrassed by calling the wrong name. Instead, she stared at Fu Zheng with a smile.

Whenever she saw Fu Zheng, she couldn't help but call him brother-in-law, hoping that her sister could succeed with this Brother Fu. Both of them were good-looking and they were a perfect match.

Fu Zheng was a little disappointed that he didn't see Gu Wanxing, but he also knew that she was very busy recently, and he hadn't even seen her for two days.

"Xiao Fu, please sit down quickly. Wanxing will be back soon."

Zhang Xiumei smiled and handed over a small stool.

Fu Zheng said gently, "No need. You guys go ahead and do your work. Where is Wanxing? I'll go check."

"My sister is moving goods to the rented house. You should go and help her." Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows.

"Okay." Fu Zheng smiled gently at the little sister who was such a great helper, and left.

Gu Wanxing, who had already left the market, had no idea that Fu Zheng was coming.

She was planning to buy a few houses in the city while they were cheap, and then buy land to build a factory. This year was the last year of the 1980s, and after 1990, the prices of land and houses would rise sharply.

It's a good deal if you buy it in advance anyway.

As soon as I arrived at the rental house, I saw a motorcycle and a red Santana sedan parked at the entrance of the alley and at her door.

She didn't think much about it and thought it was the landlord's aunt's children who came back.

But when she opened the door and entered the room, she found two women sitting on her bed, one with short hair and the other with long hair.

“…”

The two women were obviously stunned. They didn't expect that someone could come in from outside.

"Who are you?" Gu Wanxing asked first.

His eyes inadvertently swept across the door leading to the yard.

They came in from the yard.

"No, who are you? How do you have our house key?"

"Exactly, how did you get in?"

Gu Wanxing looked at the fur and skin all over the floor, and saw that there were two children behind the two women, one sleeping at the head of the bed and the other at the foot.

She couldn't help but feel angry.

"This is the house I rented. Who allowed you to come in?" He said with annoyance in his tone.

Hearing this, the two women looked at each other, and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Mom didn't say to rent it out."

"That's right, then...why don't we just go out?"

The two of them whispered to each other, and Gu Wanxing thought that as long as they could get out, she would endure it.

After all, the landlady is really good to me. Whenever she is here, she will send me dumplings and buns, and always think of her when she makes something delicious.

Of course, she was not stingy. The old lady ate a lot of watermelons and vegetables grown in the space.

She thought it was normal social interaction.

But unexpectedly, the short-haired woman acted like a rogue.

The short-haired woman looked at Gu Wanxing from head to toe, and her gaze was very uncomfortable.

"Why are you going out? This is our house. Mom didn't even say to rent it out. Whatever she says is the truth."

As she said that, the woman crossed her legs and even threw the Mao Ke Pi into her big teacup instead of throwing it on the ground.

Seeing this, Gu Wanxing suppressed his anger and walked towards the yard.

The door was open, and she wanted to ask the old lady why she allowed them to destroy her house like this.

Now that she has the right to reside there, anyone entering the house without her permission would be trespassing.

"Hey, stop right there."

"stop."

When the two women saw the man go straight into the yard, they stood up and chased after him.

Gu Wanxing had already entered the living room of the main house.

The big ceiling fan in this room was whirring early in the morning.

There was no old lady in sight, not even anyone.

"Auntie, are you in the room?" She called towards the bedroom.

Then two men walked out of the bedroom.

One of them looked very similar to the landlord's aunt, with a square face and a standard cadre hairstyle and dress.
