Chen Fengmei looked around in panic.
"If you stay calm, maybe no one will suspect us of hiding something," Wang Dongsheng reminded in a low voice.
Yes, you need to stay calm and not let others notice anything unusual.
Chen Fengmei quickly adjusted her state and forced a smile, "Old Wang? What do you want me to do?"
"Didn't I ask your Mr. Lin to borrow some car repair tools a few days ago? I have always forgotten to return them, and I just happened to meet you. How about you come with me to my house to get them?" Wang Dongsheng said with a smile.
"You can just bring it directly to our house later," Chen Fengmei refused.
"But I have something to do later, so I can't go. I'm afraid I'll forget it again some other day. Just come with me. My home is not far away, just a few steps away. You see, just walk through this alley and you'll be there. It's very close, so I'll just take five minutes of your time," Wang Dongsheng said with a smile, his eyes full of threat and cruelty.
Chen Fengmei knew what kind of person Wang Dongsheng was. Seeing this, she dared not refuse any more and could only agree.
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
"Okay!" Wang Dongsheng laughed.
The two walked one after the other, and when they reached a deserted alley, Chen Fengmei could no longer bear it and growled, "Lao Wang, what on earth do you want to do?"
"I need 500 yuan, please give it to me," Wang Dongsheng's tone softened with a flattering smile on his face.
Although his eyes are greasy, it is undeniable that his facial features are really regular, especially when he smiles, he really deserves the title of middle-aged handsome man.
Chen Fengmei looked at his face and gnashed her teeth in hatred.
If it weren't for this face, she wouldn't have fallen in love with him ten years ago and entered into an improper relationship with him.
After so many years, she was obviously fed up with him, but she still couldn't get rid of this idiot.
"Five hundred yuan? Are you crazy?" Chen Fengmei scolded, "How can I give you that much money now? Didn't I give you two hundred yuan a few days ago?"
"I used the two hundred yuan to pay off my gambling debts, but my luck hasn't been good lately. I lost another five hundred yesterday..." Wang Dongsheng smiled awkwardly, and soon vowed:
"But don't worry, this is only temporary! Once this bad period is over, I will be able to win back soon."
What a win, Chen Fengmei cursed in her heart.
He says this every time, but I've never seen him win.
Of course, even if he won, the money wouldn't go to her.
It’s good enough that Wang Dongsheng didn’t ask her to give him money.
"I don't have that much money!" Chen Fengmei said angrily, "I have been giving you money intermittently over the years, and there is no money left. Later, I bought a job for my daughter, and Lin Shan bought a dowry for his daughter. Now I have no savings at all! The two hundred yuan I gave you yesterday was my own hidden money!"
Wang Dongsheng got angry when he heard Chen Fengmei's resolute refusal: "Even if you don't have it, you have to lend it to me!"
"Where can I get so much money for you?" Chen Fengmei growled.
"Don't you have a daughter working in a textile factory? And a son-in-law who is also a salaried worker. It should be easy to ask for 500 yuan, right?" Wang Dongsheng's eyes flashed with calculation.
"You!" Chen Fengmei was angry.
Wang Dongsheng approached Chen Fengmei and threatened: "You don't want Lin Shan to know about our relationship? You also don't want the baby in your belly to--"
"Shut up!" Chen Fengmei interrupted him in horror.
Wang Dongsheng became proud when he saw this, this trick really works every time!
Chen Fengmei stared at Wang Dongsheng without saying a word.
But Wang Dongsheng knew that she had compromised, so he raised his hand and gently stroked Chen Fengmei's face. The breath he exhaled, with a strange smell mixed with cigarettes, alcohol, onions, coriander, etc., sprayed on Chen Fengmei's face.
He thought he was being gentle and said, "Don't worry, I won't easily tell anyone about our affairs. After all, telling anyone would damage my reputation, wouldn't it?"
"Of course," he changed the subject and threatened, "Even if our affair is exposed, I don't care. I'm a man and I don't have a wife. At most, I'll be scolded by the neighbors."
"But my reputation is already bad enough, I don't mind getting even worse, but it's different for you..."
"Get out!" Chen Fengmei pushed Wang Dongsheng away unable to bear it any longer.
Wang Dongsheng smiled even more gently: "I'm home, just wait for me at the door, I'll get you the tools!"
Chen Fengmei looked at Wang Dongsheng's staggering back and wanted to kill him. After getting the wrench, she turned around and left.
Wang Dongsheng looked at her back and smiled comfortably. He turned around and saw his four children with his deceased wife - the oldest was only sixteen years old and the youngest was only ten years old, all lying at the door and looking at him hatefully.
"Look at your ass!" Wang Dongsheng cursed, "If I hadn't used my face to find women to pay for you, you would have starved to death long ago."
The children shrank back and hastily retracted their heads.
Er Laizi had already told Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi about the meeting between Chen Fengmei and Wang Dongsheng.
Lin Xiangyi: “…” So for all these years, Chen Fengmei has been using Lin Shan’s money to support those wild men outside?
No wonder the family’s finances have been so tight over the years.
Now she was really curious about Lin Shan’s expression when he knew the truth.
When Chen Fengmei came back, Lin Xiangyi looked at her with eyes full of anticipation for a good show.
Chen Fengmei was worried about Wang Dongsheng and didn't pay attention to Lin Xiangyi. She went into the kitchen to busy herself as soon as she got home.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi moved two small stools and sat at the door, eating melon seeds and chatting. When they met familiar neighbors, they chatted and talked for a while. They were very leisurely.
When Lin Shan came back from get off work and saw this scene, he thought he was dazzled. He stared at Lin Xiangyi and shouted uncertainly: "Lin Xiangyi?"
"how?"
Lin Shan looked at Xie Qingxiao again: "Qingxiao?"
Xie Qingxiao was more respectful and polite than Lin Xiangyi. He stood up and called out calmly, "Dad."
Lin Shan: “…” It’s really the couple who are back.
"Why are you back?" Lin Shan asked.
"Not welcome?" Lin Xiangyi said concisely.
Didn’t you say you wanted to break up with me?
Lin Shan asked in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud, fearing that Lin Xiangyi would lose face and really break off relations with him, so he hurriedly said, "No, didn't I tell you? This will always be your home."
"Haha," Lin Xiangyi laughed twice for no apparent reason.
Lin Shan: “…” He didn’t take it seriously. He just thought that Lin Xiangyi was hiding her embarrassment because she felt uncomfortable coming back today because she had said she wanted to end the relationship last time.
He didn't expose her, as long as she came back. Otherwise, with this rebellious girl's current personality, he really didn't know how to coax her.
"Stay home for dinner tonight?" Lin Shan spoke with a hint of caution unconsciously.
Lin Xiangyi: "We'll stay at home tonight."
"Living at home?" Lin Shan's eyes lit up when he heard that. Since he was already living at home, he probably had thought it through and could accept the child in Chen Fengmei's belly!
The gloom he had been feeling for the past few days was swept away, and he kept saying, "Okay, okay."
