Chapter 75 Insider
Due to the heavy snow a few days ago, all work was forced to come to a halt.
Now that the snow has begun to melt and the roads are open, all departments in the town have resumed work, and some villagers have also come to the supply and marketing cooperative and the post office to do business.
Tongguan Town is too far away and it’s the first time for several people here.
Gu Hansong asked the people from the supply and marketing cooperative and found out the location of the temporary office area in the town.
The previous office of Tongguan Town was a wooden house, but it was too old and unsafe, so it was demolished and rebuilt.
After the office was demolished, those people moved into the grain station and temporarily worked in two warehouses.
When the three of them arrived, the people in the office were surprised to hear that Meng Changli was there to deliver a quilt to her husband, and they specially sent a young man named Qi Xueguo to take the three of them there.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. We distributed blankets and food to the comrades who stayed here the day it snowed. Accountant Huang won't be cold or hungry. Of course, the things we distribute here are definitely not as comfortable as at home. It must be good for you to come here. It's just that the heavy snow blocked the road. You must have suffered a lot to come here."
Along the way, Qi Xueguo showed some concern for the situation and tried to find topics to talk about.
When Meng Changli heard this, she happily started chatting with him.
Not only did she suffer a little, she was also stuck halfway.
Qi Xueguo then realized that she had come here on the day it snowed.
"Sister-in-law, you are working too hard."
It's such a long journey, it sounds like sending a goose feather over a thousand miles.
Qi Xueguo didn't know how to praise her, he just felt that Meng Changli was so nice to Accountant Huang, and their sincerity was enviable.
Meng Changli smiled embarrassedly, "Husband and wife are originally one, and it is natural for us to help each other. It's hard for my husband to come to such a far place..."
At this time, Meng Changli was still immersed in illusory happiness.
Behind, Meng Shulan followed her sister's steps silently, feeling indescribable in her heart, very bitter and suffocated.
They were only halfway there and had not yet reached Huang Jialin's dormitory. The incident had not yet broken out, but Meng Shulan already felt the cruelty.
The best way to bring someone down is to tear apart the beauty and hopes in her heart.
As a younger sister, she naturally doesn't want to see her sister suffer and despair.
But there is no way, without going through the baptism of excruciating pain, how can there be a nirvana rebirth that is completely transformed.
This is my sister's calamity, the suffering she must endure.
As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the town market.
It is called a market, but it is actually next to a winery in the town.
The winery is state-owned, but it is open to the general public during festivals. Except for the most strict years, it is closed to the public. At other times during festivals, the wine in the winery can be withdrawn at will, without a ticket.
This tradition is very good. During the New Year and other festivals, it attracts many villagers from surrounding towns to line up. Over time, everyone calls this place the market.
Business activities have recovered in the past two years, and people have gradually started to set up stalls next to the winery, making it a veritable market.
It's just that it's snowing these few days, so naturally there's no one in the market, and even the door of the winery is closed. Qi Xueguo said that if everything goes well, they can start work tomorrow.
The whole market was quiet, with only occasional people passing by, most of them were residents nearby.
Huang Jialin’s dormitory is in the alley diagonally opposite the winery, a two-story blue brick building.
The alleys here are all mud roads, and because of the melted snow, there are puddles everywhere. Once you step in, mud and water will flow everywhere.
With a road like this, no one wants to go out unless they have to.
When they walked inside, they met an old lady who was holding a sickle in her hand and carrying a large backpack. It seemed that she was preparing to go to the fields.
The old lady walked slowly and wanted to give way, but when she looked up, she smiled and greeted the tour leader Qi Xueguo.
Obviously, the two knew each other.
Qi Xueguo introduced the old lady to both parties and said that she was a resident there and happened to live downstairs from Huang Jialin's dormitory.
Meng Changli is Accountant Huang's daughter-in-law, and she came to deliver something.
"Are you Accountant Huang's daughter-in-law?"
The old lady seemed to have heard something strange, and her cloudy eyes kept looking at Meng Changli.
The old lady had no problem with her eyesight and seemed particularly sharp.
Meng Changli felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she asked with a smile: "Auntie, why are you staring at me?"
The old lady asked in confusion, "Are you really Accountant Huang's daughter-in-law?"
Meng Changli felt that this was a bit strange, but she still said patiently: "Yes. My husband just came here and may stay for a few months. Please bear with me if I disturb you."
Meng Changli wanted to say a few polite words to the neighbors living upstairs and downstairs.
The old lady looked at Meng Changli with increasingly strange eyes. She moved closer to Qi Xueguo and asked in horror, "Is she really Accountant Huang's daughter-in-law?"
Qi Xueguo was also confused. "Of course they came all the way here to deliver the quilt. They came all the way here to play a joke on you."
Qi Xueguo found it funny. What’s wrong with this old lady?
The old lady's face turned bitter and she looked at them and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
At this time, Meng Shulan came forward and asked the old lady, "Auntie, is there something wrong with my brother-in-law here?"
Of course there is something going on, and it’s a big deal.
But the old lady didn't know how to start.
After thinking for a while, she asked Meng Shulan, "Well, your brother-in-law only has your sister as his wife, right?"
When several people heard this, their faces changed to varying degrees.
Meng Shulan frowned, "Auntie, what are you talking about? What era is this? You can't talk about these things casually."
The old lady sighed and said, "I, I don't know what to say. Maybe they told me that as a joke. Anyway, there are people up there. You can go up there and see for yourself."
After the old lady finished speaking, she wanted to leave.
Meng Shulan was one step faster than her and grabbed the old lady's arm. "Auntie, it's rare for us to meet. It's fate. Please tell me what's going on. Otherwise, I can't understand what's going on."
This is an insider, and Meng Shulan doesn't want to let him go easily.
She had a hunch that in her previous life, her sister would catch the two of them in bed, and the old lady living downstairs must have been the key figure.
It was she who revealed some information to her sister in advance, allowing her sister to prepare in advance.
Otherwise, the time it took to knock on the door and open it would have been enough for the two men to get dressed and put on their pants. How could they have been caught on the spot?
The old lady was being held by Meng Shulan and couldn't leave. After thinking for a while, she told him the answer.
"Upstairs, there was a woman who came on the snowy day. I ran into her in the bathroom downstairs in the middle of the night. I asked her and she said she was Accountant Huang's wife..."
The old lady looked at Meng Changli twice and continued, "That person looks completely different from your sister."
Just in terms of height, the girl in front of me is much taller than him, and their faces are also different. The daughter-in-law in front of me looks generous and upright, while the other woman has a pointed face and looks stingy. I didn’t think so before, but now I think she looks like a vixen.
I haven't spoken for many days, but I have to say a few words today. This book has been free for more than a month, and it will be available tomorrow. I don't know how to say it, but it feels like a failure again. I still don't have enough ability and need to learn more. I will work hard. Thank you for your support of this book and my little cuties. Thank you~ (End of this chapter)
