"Oh my god, who stole my money? I'm going to die..."

Jia Shuling woke up and it was daybreak. She sat on the kang and saw the mess in the house. She was stunned for a few seconds. She didn't expect that a thief had entered the house.

When she saw the box was half open and the things inside were scattered on the ground, she felt something was wrong and rushed to the box to look for the money she had hidden inside. But there was no money there. Even the handkerchief that wrapped the money had been stolen by the thief.

Jia Shuling's legs went limp and she sat down on the ground, slapping her thighs and howling.

"Who the hell stole my money? You might as well kill me."

Chen Lingqiu was woken up. He had slept very comfortably and didn't even have a dream.

If Jia Shuling hadn't woken her up by howling, she could have slept a little longer.

After hearing what Jia Shuling said, his face changed, he glanced around the room, and sat up suddenly.

He kicked Wang Long in the buttocks, "Hurry up and get up, there's a thief in the house!"

Wang Long was kicked awake. If Chen Lingqiu wasn't pregnant, he would have slapped her.

His mind was still confused, he sat up and reached out to touch his messy hair.

"Go down quickly, let me see if the money is still there?" Wang Long was sleeping outside. Chen Lingqiu's belly was getting bigger and it was inconvenient for her to get off the kang, so she kicked Wang Long again.

Wang Long was now completely sober, and hurriedly slipped off the kang to help Chen Lingqiu down.

Chen Lingqiu hurriedly went to rummage through the cabinet. Her face turned pale and her body swayed. Wang Long hurriedly supported her.

"Was the money stolen?" Wang Long asked with his last hope, looking at the messy house.

Chen Lingqiu nodded, leaning against the wall weakly and moving to sit down on the kang, choking with sobs, "This is the money I saved from my teeth, how could it be stolen by thieves?"

Then she started to scold Wang Long, "I slept deeply when I was pregnant, but you slept like a dead pig and didn't even know there was a thief in the house."

Wang Long was also innocent and said aggrievedly, "It's been very tiring to repair the canal these past few days. I was so sleepy yesterday that I didn't even have the energy to take my bowl of rice to the kitchen."

Hearing Jia Shuling howling in another room, Wang Long ran over.

The situation in the room was not much better than in his room. He squatted in the corner of the kang with his head in his hands.

"Mom, why are you sleeping so soundly?"

Jia Shuling regretted it so much. If she had known that a thief would come last night, she would not have slept even if she had propped her eyes open with a needle.

"Where's Wang Dan? Such a big thing happened, why hasn't she been seen?"

Jia Shuling suddenly remembered that she had not seen Wang Dan, so she got up from the ground and stumbled towards the pigpen.

Seeing that Wang Dan was sleeping soundly, he directly took the urinal that he had not had time to empty last night and poured it on Wang Dan.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Wang Dan was awakened by the water and jumped up from the wooden board.

She forgot it was a pigsty with a shed on top and her head hit it directly. It made her head buzz and it took her a long time to recover.

Then, I smelled the smell of urine all over her body.

Seeing her mother holding the urinal in her hand, she looked at her in disbelief.

"Mom, how could you throw urine on me?"

Jia Shuling felt a little guilty, and she forgot about it in her haste.

He put the urinal aside and said loudly, "You sleep in the pigsty. You really think you are a pig. You don't even know that a thief has entered the house."

"What? Something bad happened at home?" Wang Dan pretended to be surprised.

Seeing Jia Shuling like this, she didn't suspect her at all. She was secretly happy and admired Qi Qingmei's cleverness at the same time.

As expected of a high school graduate, his brain works very well.

"That's right." Jia Shuling sat down on a rock next to the pigsty, wiping her tears and saying, "All the money you gave to mom was stolen by thieves.

I originally thought that I would find a good family for you in the future, and give you the money as a dowry. With the dowry, your in-laws wouldn't make things difficult for you after you got married. But who would have thought that it would be stolen by a thief."

After hearing what Jia Shuling said, Wang Dan felt guilty for a moment and touched the handkerchief in his pocket.

Thinking of Shen Qinghe, he finally hardened his heart.

"Mom, there's nothing we can do about this thief getting into the house. No one wants this. We can save the money slowly in the future."

After the matter is done, I will find an opportunity to give the unused money to Jia Shuling later.

Jia Shuling nodded and glanced at Wang Dan. She had said that on purpose to prevent Wang Dan from asking her for compensation.

After all, the explanation she gave to Wang Dan was that she was keeping it for her.

…

"I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative today and pick out a watch for you. It will be convenient for you to tell time in the future. I'll come to see you during the lunch break? Or do you want to buy it yourself?"

As they were getting ready to go out, Jiang Chunlin said to Shen Qinghe, who looked tired.

Shen Qinghe was still angry. She had been really tortured last night.

Her waist and legs were blue.

She was so angry that she didn't talk to him all morning.

When she heard his words, she didn't want to pay attention to him, but the watch was so tempting and she really, really, really needed it.

But she can't bow down for a watch.

So, Shen Qinghe resisted the urge to look back at the watch ticket on the table and did not even move her neck.

Seeing that Shen Qinghe was indifferent, Jiang Chunlin looked at the back of her head in confusion.

Doesn't she like watches?

"If you don't want a watch, forget it."

Jiang Chunlin reached out to take the ticket on the table.

Shen Qinghe quickly grabbed the ticket in her hand and said in a muffled voice, "Who said I don't need it?"

Jiang Chunlin's mouth corners curled up slightly!

So, I was still angry with him just now.

He touched his nose uncomfortably, "Well, I will be more careful next time and won't use such brute force again."

Last night, Shen Qinghe begged for mercy under him, but he was so excited that he couldn't stop at all.

Shen Qinghe glared at Jiang Chunlin, put the ticket in her pocket, tied the empty snakeskin bag on the back seat of the bike, and rode away on her bike.

Jiang Chunlin...

Familiar morning, familiar road, familiar scene.

Jiang Chunlin ran behind Shen Qinghe's bicycle.

The members who went to work all looked at the two of them with smiles.

"Xiuyun, your fourth family is really powerful. Look how Chunlin has been manipulated into submission. You have worked with Chunlin before, so how did Chunlin's family treat him?"

Aunt Zhou looked at Shen Qinghe with envy, who was riding her bicycle briskly in front, while Jiang Chunlin followed pitifully behind.

He Xiuyun glanced at Aunt Zhou and jokingly asked, "What? You want to learn? Do you want to have another old man?"

"Bah!" Aunt Zhou laughed and hit He Xiuyun's arm, saying uncomfortably, "I want to learn Qinghe's ability to deal with men, so that I can deal with my man and don't have to suffer his anger anymore."

He Xiuyun was startled and asked angrily, "Did he hit you again?"

"Oh." Aunt Zhou sighed, her eyes reddened and she said nothing.

Only then did He Xiuyun realize that Aunt Zhou was wearing long sleeves today. She rolled up her sleeves and saw red marks from being beaten, some of which were swollen.

"Come on, I'll accompany you to find the village chief. If the village chief doesn't care, we'll go to the commune to find the women's director." When He Xiuyun saw the wound on Aunt Zhou's arm, her eyes also turned red, and she felt so distressed.

Aunt Zhou said hurriedly, "It's not his fault. He is ill, anxious and has a bad temper. He was not like this before."

"It's been two years, and he hasn't gotten used to his illness yet? He beats you up when he's in a bad mood, but you don't owe him anything." He Xiuyun said angrily.

*********************************************************************************************************************************

Aunt Zhou's tears fell onto the back of her dark brown and wrinkled hands. Those lines were a reminder of the years and aging.

The winter before last, Zhang Dabao went to the mountains to chop firewood. He fell from the hillside and broke his leg. He has been bedridden ever since. She willingly took care of him for two years, and was also beaten and scolded by him for two years.

Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would take it out on her, scolding her at the very least, or even grabbing the belt at hand and hitting her.

At first she understood, but no one could accept that a healthy person suddenly became disabled.

But over the past two years, he has become even worse. He used to feel guilty and blame himself for beating and scolding her, but now he has become numb to it. He would even smile hideously and complacently when he whipped her with the whip in his hand.

"Look at you, you are so smart outside, but how come you are controlled by him at home?" He Xiuyun looked at Aunt Zhou with heartache and gave her advice.

"His legs are broken, but yours are fine. When he hit you, you didn't run away, but just stood there and let him hit you?"

Aunt Zhou raised her drooping eyelids and glanced at He Xiuyun.

"If I ran away, he would refuse to take medicine and even go on a hunger strike."

He Xiuyun...

I really want to let him starve to death or die of illness.

After all, they have been a couple who have lived together for more than 20 years, and they can't harden their hearts.

"Don't worry about me. It's been two years. He..." Aunt Zhou choked up, "He should be able to accept it soon."

He Xiuyun sighed and lowered her head to work.

Seeing Aunt Zhou wiping tears silently, she didn't know how to comfort her, so she held her hand and said, "It will be fine."

Aunt Zhou nodded while sobbing.

She has to bear her suffering alone, no one can help her.

The reason why she loves to be with He Xiuyun is that she envies her life. Her man loves her and her son is filial. This is a life she cannot envy.

…

Shen Qinghe didn't plan to go to the black market today. She planned to go back after buying the defective cloth and defective wool.

Jiang Chunlin followed her car all the way without even taking a breath.

Shen Qinghe was holding her breath as she watched, wondering how could he have such good physical strength.

"I'm going to work. I noticed that you didn't bring anything out today. Are you going back after buying things?" Jiang Chunlin looked at Shen Qinghe's angry little face and suddenly wanted to pinch her.

He did the same.

The pink cheeks are soft as if you are pinching a steamed bun made of leavened dough.

Shen Qinghe looked at Jiang Chunlin in confusion, "What?"

"It's okay." Jiang Chunlin withdrew his hand and scratched his head. Why couldn't he control his hand? His earlobe became hot and red.

"No need for you, just go to work, I can buy it myself." After saying that, Shen Qinghe went into the state-owned restaurant to have breakfast.

Jiang Chunlin put his hands on his hips and watched Shen Qinghe go in. He gritted his teeth and then turned and walked towards Guanghua Garment Factory.

Zhu Qiaolan came very early today, but did not go in and just stood at the factory gate.

"Accountant Zhu, you are dressed so nicely today, are you looking for a date?"

Colleagues at work saw Zhu Qilan and joked.

Zhu Qiaolan smiled and shook her head, "No, this is a new dress my mother made for me. I'm wearing it for the first time."

The man said "oh" with envy, and rode his bicycle into the factory gate.

When another colleague greeted her, Zhu Qiaolan responded perfunctorily, her eyes always looking at the road in the distance.

When she saw Jiang Chunlin, she shyly reached out and twirled her long braid.

Today she deliberately only braided one braid to match this skirt.

Zhu Qiaolan, who received a lot of praise, was confident that her outfit today would definitely charm Jiang Chunlin.

He has no feelings for his lover. What's the point of being beautiful? If he wears tattered clothes, even the most beautiful jade will be obscured.

But she is different. She comes from a well-off family, has a job and a salary, and is able to show her best side to Jiang Chunlin.

He was a normal man, and she didn't believe that he had no feelings for her.

As Jiang Chunlin got closer, Zhu Qiaolan's heart started beating like a drum and her face turned red as if she had a 40-degree fever.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw a man running towards Jiang Chunlin.

"Brother Chunlin, how is it? Is sister-in-law satisfied?" Kang Zili ran over, still chewing a pork bun in his mouth, and looked at Jiang Chunlin with a smile.

Jiang Chunlin hurriedly took a step back to avoid Kang Zili's greasy hands from touching his clothes.

He nodded calmly, "Yeah."

"Then when will you teach me how to fight?" Kang Zili asked with starry eyes.

During this period, Kang Zili would get close to Jiang Chunlin whenever he had nothing to do, hoping to be as powerful as him and be able to kill a wild boar. Then he could brag about it for the rest of his life.

Jiang Chunlin glanced at Kang Zili who was looking at him admiringly.

This was the condition he exchanged for the watch ticket.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Half an hour off work every day."

"Only half an hour." Kang Zili said disappointedly.

Jiang Chunlin raised his eyebrows, "Then cancel the deal, and I'll return it to you when I get the watch ticket."

"No, no, half an hour is fine." Kang Zili stuffed the last bite of the bun into his mouth, wiped his greasy hands on his body, and like good brothers, he hugged Jiang Chunlin and followed his steps towards the factory gate.

After taking two steps, Jiang Chunlin stopped and looked at him gloomily.

Kang Zili has a head???

"Claws!" Jiang Chunlin frowned.

Kang Zili quickly took his hand down and said with an awkward smile, "I forgot for a moment."

He was too proud and ended up being scolded by Brother Chunlin.

Jiang Chunlin ignored Kang Zili and walked towards the factory.

It was a rare opportunity to meet Brother Chunlin, so Kang Zili followed him like a servile boy, talking to him non-stop to try to win his favor.

Zhu Qiaolan opened her mouth slightly and watched Jiang Chunlin enter the factory gate.

And he didn't even look in her direction.

"Accountant Zhu, you look great in this outfit today." Kang Hao got off his bicycle and looked at Zhu Qiaolan with admiration.

Zhu Qiaolan pouted, "What's the point of looking good? The people you want to see it for won't see it, and the people you don't want to see it for a lot of people see it."

Tang Hao...

The workshop director saw Kang Zili and hurried over, "Zili, is Deputy Director Kang okay?"

"He's not missing any limbs, how can he be bad?" Kang Zili said impatiently.

What he hates most is people trying to curry favor with him because of his father.

It seems that without his father, he would have no halo.

He is also very good!

Workshop Director...

"Anything else?" Jiang Chunlin changed into his work clothes and came out, and saw Kang Zili still standing there waiting for him.

Kang Zili chuckled, "I'm fine, I just want to talk to you more."

Jiang Chunlin frowned and said nothing.

The workshop director's eyes widened and he kept looking between Jiang Chunlin and Kang Zili.

He seemed to know a great secret...

No wonder Kang Zili doesn’t look for a partner, it turns out there is a hidden story.

Jiang Chunlin hesitated for a second and looked at the workshop director, "Director, I have something to do and need to take a two-hour leave." He was a little overwhelmed by so many things last night that he didn't even have the strength to walk.

The workshop director was still thinking about the relationship between the two men, and only came back to his senses when he heard Jiang Chunlin's words.

He nodded quickly, "Okay, go ahead."

Jiang Chunlin nodded, changed his clothes and walked out. Kang Zili followed him out, turning his head and talking to Jiang Chunlin non-stop.

Jiang Chunlin remained indifferent and expressionless, and it was unclear whether he heard what Kang Zili said or not.

The workshop director looked at the two people's backs as they walked away.

It’s confirmed, Kang Zili is the victim.

He murmured in a low voice, "Luckily I was smart. They must have gone on a date. If I hadn't approved the leave, Kang Zili, the devil, would have reported him to his father."

It seems that we have to value Jiang Chunlin in the future so that his career path can be smoother.
