Chapter 87 Blackmail
"Who is it?" Zhong Xiong asked gritting his teeth.
"Wang Tao." Zhong Yong finally remembered. "We ordered his steel together, didn't we? We gradually became familiar with each other. That day, he came to the construction site to deliver steel and casually said a few words to me."
"Well, that's it. I just found out." Zhong Yong quickly distanced himself from the matter. "I really didn't mean to spread rumors."
"Brother, is it really not true?"
Zhong Xiong glared at him: "No!"
He is living a good life now, is he such a short-sighted person?
"That's strange. Wang Tao seems to be a smart person. He wouldn't talk nonsense. Did you offend him?" Zhong Yong asked in a low voice.
"No, we are all people who deal with each other on the construction site. We do business with each other. I buy steel from him. Although the payment is not settled in full at once, it is never in arrears. Besides, everyone does business like this." Zhong Xiong really couldn't understand how Wang Tao could make up rumors about him.
"No, I have to go find him." Zhong Xiong was so anxious that he wanted to leave immediately.
Zhong Yong quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't be so anxious. It's no big deal to leave now. Who are you going to meet now? If you want to know, you should finish your work here."
This is a big event for the whole village. If Zhong Xiong leaves now, he will be watched by the whole village.
Well, he really couldn’t leave now, so Zhong Xiong gave up the idea.
But he really couldn't figure it out. Was there something wrong with Wang Tao?
No matter whether he has any problems or not, we will cure his disease after he is done with his work. Rumors have been spread about him, so he must want to die, right?
…
After the grave was moved, the men came back one after another and they could finally have dinner. Zhong Hui and her close friends sat at the same table and had a very enjoyable meal.
"The dishes at this village banquet are better than those in the restaurant." Zhong Hui said after eating for a while.
"I've always felt this way. I used to think that when Tingwen gets married, I would invite the village chef to prepare the banquet. Now, there's nothing." Whenever Aunt Meihua thought about this, she wished there was wine on the table so she could have a glass.
Zhong Hui and Yang Fangqin both knew about this and couldn't help but comfort her: "This is just a hurdle, it will be fine once it passes."
"How about I keep an eye out for someone suitable, and if there is one, introduce it to Tingwen?" Yang Fangqin said.
Aunt Meihua's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, okay, then you have to really help me keep an eye on him. I just want him to find someone who knows him well so that everyone can feel at ease."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on him. Tingwen is a college student and has a good job, so there's no doubt he won't find a job." Zhong Hui also said.
Aunt Meihua curled her lips, hoping that her young and naive son would not cause her any worries when he was studying.
Qianfen Tingwen naturally came today. He was sitting at the same table with his father. While others were drinking, he also drank silently.
Drink it, it will be fine after this.
After eating and drinking, the villagers of Shangtuan Village completed the relocation of graves, and the dinner came to an end.
Zhong Xiong was drunk, Yang Fangqin drove, and Zhong Hui also drove her own car to take Aunt Meihua and the others back.
…
The next day, Zhong Hui slept in, opened the curtains, stretched, and looked at the time. Oh, it was already half past nine. The sun was so comfortable today.
I like this kind of weather in winter. Zhong Hui put on home clothes, washed up and prepared to have breakfast.
Zhong Ping now has to work the early shift every day, so Linlin always goes out to have breakfast with Xiaojuan. Zhong Hui didn't see her in the living room, so she probably went upstairs to play with Xiaojuan.
As soon as she sat down at the rice noodle roll shop, Zhong Hui received a phone call from an unknown number. She hadn't received an unknown phone call for a long time. Since she handed over the rental of the house to Zheng Benming, her phone calls were basically from acquaintances.
Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment before she picked up the phone: "Hello."
"Are you Zhong Hui?" A female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, I am." Zhong Hui frowned.
"I, I'm your eldest brother's friend. I have something to talk to you about." The woman on the phone seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking.
Her eldest brother's friend was a girl, so Zhong Hui suddenly became nervous.
"What do you want from me? Aren't you my eldest brother's friend? He's the one you should be looking for, right?"
"I'm not looking for him now. I want to find you. I'm waiting for you at Meet Coffee. If you don't come, I'll go to your community to find your sister-in-law." After the woman said that, she hung up the phone.
"What a mess." Zhong Hui cursed angrily when she heard the hang-up sound.
His elder brother, I wonder if he is also doing something stupid outside? Zhong Hui frowned, this is like the sky is falling.
No, I still have to go meet this person. Why is he looking for her? According to the plot of the TV series, he should be looking for her sister-in-law, right?
This woman doesn't play by the rules.
Zhong Hui hurriedly finished her breakfast and drove to the Meet Cafe.
This was Zhong Hui’s first time at this place. She ordered a cup of American coffee and sat in the store waiting.
After waiting for five minutes, her coffee was served and she finally saw a young woman coming.
The long curly hair and heavy makeup were not what shocked Zhong Hui. What shocked her was that the woman had a bulging belly that looked like it was about five or six months pregnant.
Seeing Zhong Hui's eyes widen in surprise, the woman smiled, then sat down leisurely, holding her waist. "So, it wasn't a wasted trip, was it? Why don't we meet outside?"
Zhong Hui took two deep breaths, looked at her belly, and asked, "What is your relationship with my eldest brother?"
The woman didn't answer, but raised her hand to call the waiter: "Give me a glass of warm milk."
Then he turned to Zhong Hui and said, "I'm pregnant now and can't drink coffee."
"What is your relationship with my eldest brother?" Zhong Hui asked again with a serious face.
"We are friends." The woman smiled brightly and rubbed her belly. "You can guess what kind of friends we are."
"You have no evidence to support your claims. Why should I believe you?" Zhong Hui said sternly.
"It's strange that you come to me instead of my brother." Zhong Hui picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.
This coffee is really bitter, even harder to drink than Chinese medicine. Zhong Hui swallowed it with difficulty and without showing any emotion, while observing the expression of the woman opposite her.
"My name is Su Xiao. Well, I've known your eldest brother for more than half a year. Here, these are photos of us hanging out together." Zheng Xiao took out a few photos from his bag with a smile.
Zhong Hui picked it up and saw that the figure was indeed her elder brother.
There was no mistake about the green dragon tattoo on her eldest brother's hand. It really was one of them.
Zhong Hui felt like she had trouble breathing. Her elder brother, whom she was so proud of, she always thought was upright and honest. But he, he, he, didn't want to live a good life anymore?
