In this story of daily life during the 80s, the once fat and ugly Chu Xuan is reborn in a small fishing village in 1983. In this life, she doesn't want to cause Mu Chenze's family to be rui...
Chu Xuan certainly didn't want to express his gratitude, but it was not easy for him to directly ask about the progress of the investigation into the unknown items hidden in Feng Chunhua's yard in the county town.
"Actually, Feng Chunhua and I have a grudge, and I'd like to ask if you know anything about Feng Chunhua's family. If I have evidence, Feng Chunhua won't dare to say bad things about me anymore. I don't plan to get married, so the impact on my reputation isn't a big deal, but it will affect my brother's future. So I can't just sit there and wait for death."
Wei Qiang frowned, looking helpless. His voice was very low. "Feng Chunhua has indeed gone too far, but it's very difficult to catch her. Someone reported that she had valuables of unknown origin. When we arrived at her home with a search warrant, we didn't find any valuables. She must have received a tip and moved away. Let me remind you, Feng Chunhua has connections."
Chu Xuan secretly felt lucky that he didn't use his real voice when he called Feng Chunhua to tell her.
"Thank you for telling me this. Let's go!"
He turned around and left with a look of disappointment.
Stopped by Wei Qiang.
"Hold on."
Chu Xuan turned around and pretended to be relaxed, "Anything else?"
Wei Qiang said in a very low voice, "Actually, I've read Feng Chunhua's criminal record. If we want to convict her, Qin Xuehong is the key. Wait patiently for Qin Xuehong to wake up. Faced with the evidence, even if Feng Chunhua has a strong backer, the Qin family will not let her go unpunished. Not to mention that the Qin family also has connections. Your own strength alone is not enough to compete with Feng Chunhua's backers. You must learn to use their strength to your advantage!"
Chu Xuan was a little surprised. She didn't expect Wei Qiang to care about her so much.
"I'll remember that! Thank you very much!"
Unlock the bike and ride away.
Wei Qiang watched her figure disappear before he looked away.
I don't understand why I told her so much.
About ten minutes later, Chu Xuan walked into Mu Chenze's ward carrying a bag of wool.
Mu Chenze was sleeping soundly.
Even if Chu Xuan had something to ask him, he didn't feel comfortable disturbing him.
I simply went out and bought a set of knitting needles.
Sitting on a stool in the ward, knitting a sweater.
Every half an hour, stop knitting, look out the window into the distance, and relieve eye fatigue.
I went out for lunch and when I came back, Mu Chenze still hadn't woken up.
Continue knitting.
Mu Chenze didn't wake up until after three in the afternoon.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Chu Xuan concentrating on knitting a sweater.
"You didn't go home directly? You waited for me to wake up? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Chu Xuan did not stop knitting because it did not affect her conversation.
"Feng Chunhua was taken away with valuables in her hands. Someone tipped her off!"
"The security team found nothing?"
"That's right."
"Will this alert the enemy?"
"Who knows! Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about something else."
"What's up?"
“How much did you buy the bicycle?”
Mu Chenze said stubbornly, "Two hundred yuan! What's wrong?"
Chu Xuan didn't bother beating around the bush with him. "I saw the sales invoice for the item he bought from a department store out of town. It was 220 yuan. He clearly sold it to you for 260 yuan. Why did you lie to me and tell me it was 200 yuan? Was it a disguised subsidy for me? Or do you like being taken advantage of?"
Having said that, he glared at Mu Chenze helplessly.
Mu Chenze realized that he had been exposed and stopped hiding it. "Actually, I wanted to give you a bicycle, but I was afraid you wouldn't accept it, so I came up with the idea of giving you a small subsidy in disguise."
"Sixty yuan is not a small amount! Mu Chenze, can you feel sorry for the money you earn? You stay up late every day to deliver goods and sell goods. It's not easy to make money."
"I don't think earning money is hard. On the contrary, I think it's easy! Sixty yuan is nothing to me. I can buy you a bicycle with the full amount, and it's nothing."
Mu Chenze was speaking from his heart. He never felt bad about spending money on Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan stopped knitting the sweater and put it aside. "Why are you always thinking about giving me gifts instead of saving money for your future wife?"
"You're my good friend, so what's wrong with giving you a gift? I often give gifts to Ji Ping!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xuan counted out sixty yuan from his pocket and put it in Mu Chenze's hand, "Take it, or I'll send the bicycle back to your house and say you bought it for your mother."
Mu Chenze surrendered directly, "I'll take it."
My stomach growled.
Chu Xuan felt a little guilty. Why was she so anxious to settle the score with him? He must be starving.
"What do you want to eat? I'll go out and buy it for you."
"I want to eat the hand-rolled noodles you made yourself."
"That'll have to wait until you're discharged from the hospital. How about this! I'll go out and buy some ready-made food. I guarantee it'll be something you'll like."
Without waiting for Mu Chenze's response, Chu Xuan ran out.
Mu Chenze suddenly realized that when he spent money on her, she would settle the bill with him. On the contrary, when he spent her money, she didn't care at all and seemed quite happy.
Should I change my strategy in the future, spend more of her money, eat more of her food, and take advantage of her more so that she won't settle the bill clearly?
Ten minutes later, Chu Xuan came back with a lunch box of fragrant wontons.
The lunch box was newly bought by her.
I washed them in the hospital cafeteria and scalded them with hot water before serving the wontons.
Mu Chenze estimated that there were more than thirty wontons in the lunch box.
It suits his appetite.
He blew on it while eating and finished it in no time.
"Chu Xuan, did you buy this new lunch box?"
"Yes. What's wrong?"
"Can you give it to me?"
"Of course. I bought it for you."
"Thank you! My family came in a hurry and only brought a thermos, washbasin, towel, etc., but forgot to bring a lunch box, toothbrush, toothpaste, and tooth mug. Now I have the lunch box you sent, could you please..."
"No problem. I'll go out and buy some toothpaste or something."
After a while, Chu Xuan bought a toothbrush, toothpaste and toothbrush holder.
Mu Chenze accepted them all and shamelessly said that these were all given to him by Chu Xuan and he didn't intend to pay.
Chu Xuan was not angry, but very happy.
This made Mu Chenze even more certain of what he was thinking.
But he didn't say it out loud.
"Chu Xuan, are you not planning to go home yet?"
Chu Xuan smiled, "I'll ask you one more thing and then I'll go home."
"Ask."
"What's the family situation of the man who sold you the bike? Was his brother a former pickpocket?"
"That man's name is Shan Anquan, and he's honest and hardworking. His brother is Shan Ningquan, and he used to be a pickpocket. He was caught and was about to be handed over to the security team. When his mother heard about it, she knelt down and begged them, but they were unmoved. His mother said it was her fault for not raising her son well, and she died to atone for her sin, her blood splattered on the spot. After the death, the person who was robbed couldn't bear it and didn't sue Shan Ningquan. Since then, Shan Ningquan has never been a pickpocket again. So, is he stealing from you again?"
Chu Xuan didn't expect that such a thing had happened in the Shan family. There are many ways to solve the problem, and it is not worth it to apologize with death.
Mixed emotions filled my heart. "That's right. But I don't plan to sue him. I want him to do something for me."
Mu Chenze looked worried. "You don't want him to steal Feng Chunhua's valuables, do you? If he's discovered, both of you will be finished. Besides, haven't the valuables been moved? It's hard to find them. Or do you have other ideas?"
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
