Chapter 49 Encounter
Huo Tingkun didn't even dare to sit down. He just stood there and explained the matter clearly and honestly.
"Bai Jianjun's name wasn't originally on the list for that battle. He found out Wang Qing was having an affair with someone else, and he couldn't handle the blow, so he came to me and asked me to add his name to the list."
"Before Comrade Bai Jianjun died, he told me that the only person he was most worried about in his life was his daughter. That's why I found a job for Wang Qing so that she could continue to live in the family compound with Bai Shuyao."
"Uncle Huo, Comrade Bai Jianjun died. Didn't the Bai family come over?"
"The Bai family only cares about money, not people. After Wang Qing finished attending Bai Jianjun's funeral at home, she took Bai Shuyao back to the military district. Bai Shuyao's body was covered with wounds from being beaten by the Bai family. I couldn't bear it, so I found her a job and let her stay in the military district."
He was soft-hearted for a moment, but ended up causing his lover and daughter to suffer injustice.
"If I had known she was so restless, I would never have agreed to let her stay in the military district."
"Do you think she will leave?"
Ye Surong was still a little uneasy. She always felt that it would not be so easy to let Wang Qing off the hook.
"She'll go."
Huo Tingkun has the leverage over her, and if she doesn't leave, she will only end up in disgrace.
Although the adulterer she was with also died in that battle, he was not the only one who knew about it.
Ye Surong waved at him.
"You'd better go to work. I'm annoyed just by seeing you!"
Jiang Cha went back to his room on his own.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Even Wang Qing's plot against Uncle Huo was full of loopholes. How could she have thought of calling Liao Birong from her hometown to be the scapegoat?
Jiang Cha thought of Bai Shuyao who was perfectly invisible in this matter.
The appearance of Liao Birong is similar to Chi Jun's inexplicable targeting of her.
Killing someone with a borrowed knife is Bai Shuyao's best tactic.
"How cruel!"
When necessary, both the biological mother and the biological grandmother were willing to go out, so Jiang Cha had to re-examine Bai Shuyao as a person.
Wang Qing has no hope at all. Next, Bai Shuyao will definitely point the knife at her.
Life is not easy, the fairy sighed.
Jiang Cha stayed in the room for a while and began to think about the apology gift to give to Chief Ji.
It can’t be too expensive, but it must express your feelings.
Ginger tea thought of something.
She slung her bag over her shoulder and went out to say hello to Ye Surong: "Mom, I have to go out for something. I won't be back for lunch!"
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, where are you going?"
"I'll just be walking around here."
She had a good recovery ability. After a few days, the scab on the wound was slowly falling off.
It doesn't affect walking, but it still hurts a bit if you walk fast.
Jiang Cha walked slowly to the platform at the entrance of the military compound and got on the bus to the city.
She went to the People's Hospital to buy medicine, including Chinese jujube seeds, cypress seeds, zhiyuan, julibrissin bark, Polygonum multiflorum vine, and poria, all of which are traditional Chinese medicines that nourish the heart and soothe the mind.
These days, Western medicine is popular and Chinese medicine is cheaper.
I bought all these ginger teas and spent less than three dollars in total.
The pharmacist packed the medicine and handed it to her. As soon as she went out, she saw a man and a woman arguing at the corner of the street.
"Jiang Cheng? Why hasn't he gone to the countryside yet?"
Jiang Cha hid behind a pillar and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement over there.
It was already a busy street intersection, and the sight of a man and a woman arguing in the street soon attracted a crowd of people's attention, making Jiang Cha less conspicuous.
"If you don't return the money to me today, you can't leave."
Jiang Cheng grabbed the woman's hand and stopped her from leaving.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the woman looked around, smiled, and said in a low voice, "This is really not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place and have a good chat, okay?"
"Don't try to trick me. You tricked me last time, but I'm going to catch you this time."
It was obvious that Jiang Cheng was not having a good time. He had lost a lot of weight, his clothes were wrinkled, and his hair had not been cut for a long time. It was long and messy, and it looked like a bird's coop on his head.
When he was still in the Ye family, he was the big brother who commanded the respect of everyone. He was full of energy every day. No matter what he did, he was always followed by a group of people and no one dared to mess with him.
Now, he was standing on the street in tattered clothes, being pointed at and scolded by a woman.
Jiang Cha felt only joy in his heart.
"Are you being unreasonable? I don't even know you, and you keep pestering me for money. Do you believe I'm going to the police station right now?"
Jiang Cha recognized the woman. Her name was Luo Dongmei, and she was the woman Jiang Guodong kept outside.
Jiang Cheng probably couldn't find where she and her mother were staying, and he had no other choice but to pester Luo Dongmei, wanting to get back all the money that Jiang Guodong had secretly given this woman over the years.
Neither of these two people is a good person.
"Go, come with me to the Public Security Bureau. I want to know whether the police believe you or me in this matter!"
Jiang Cheng is almost going crazy. He has nothing now and lives in a mud house that is leaky on all sides. Every morning when he opens his eyes, he has endless farm work to do.
The horn for work, the hoe, the sickle, the scorching sun, the endless fields, each one of them frightened him.
He must get the money. With the money, he won't have to worry about what to eat every day when he opens his eyes, and he can find ways to change his current predicament.
The woman in front of him changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. When they still had money, she kept calling him "husband" and "dad", and "good son".
When she found out that they had no money, this woman ran away in the middle of the night with her daughter, and even rented out the house that Jiang Guodong bought for her to someone else overnight.
When they refused to move, those people started beating them. His father was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed. His grandmother was also hit several times and lay next to his father.
They have no money for medical treatment or food, and the whole family depends on the few work points he earns every day. It is not enough to support him alone, so how can he support the whole family?
Jiang Cheng regrets every day. If he had known earlier, he would have gone with his mother.
Why was he so pessimistic that he followed Jiang Guodong back to the countryside to suffer?
He is almost suffering to death!
Just thinking about it makes him cry.
"Can you explain clearly what your relationship with my father is? You're raising a daughter all by yourself, and you still have so much money. Can you explain clearly? Anyway, I have nothing now. I don't believe that a barefoot person like me can be afraid of you."
Jiang Cheng is a man after all, and he is definitely stronger than a woman.
Luo Dongmei was obviously no match for him and was dragged away by Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cha quickly hid in the hospital. She couldn't let Jiang Cheng see her.
Otherwise, Luo Dongmei's today will be her tomorrow.
Jiang Cha waited until everyone outside had dispersed and confirmed that Jiang Cheng was no longer there before walking towards the bus station.
The bus passing by the military compound runs every half an hour.
Jiang Cha waited for a long time before the car came.
She sat in a window seat. The car started. Jiang Cha glanced over and saw Jiang Cheng being pinned to the ground and beaten by several men in an alley.
Jiang Cha immediately changed her seat and sat on the other side. She couldn't let the dirt get to her.
After seeing Jiang Cheng's miserable condition, Jiang Cha was in an unusually good mood when he returned.
She hummed a little tune, boiled medicine, and rolled pills, enjoying her work very much.
After the three men in the family came back, each one was more confused than the other.
"Did Chacha pick up any money today?"
Huo Tingkun put down his briefcase, walked to Jiang Cha, and watched her rub the pills.
"No!"
Jiang Cha didn't even raise his head, concentrating on his work.
"Why are you in such a good mood today?"
Huo Jingchuan sat opposite her, watching her hands slowly rubbing the gray-brown medicinal mud. The backs of her delicate fingers were stained with medicinal residue, which made her skin look even whiter and more delicate.
Just looking at these hands, Huo Jingchuan felt that he could look at them for a whole day.
"Xiao Cao returned the candy that he had extorted from you?"
Jiang Cha looked up angrily, "Xiao Cao said that this is not how she called Chief Ji here."
"Oh, you discovered all this?"
Huo Jingchuan didn't feel guilty at all.
"You lie to me every day, I'm going to ignore you, humph!"
"Just ignore him and focus on me."
Huo Jingye came back from nowhere, and his work clothes were covered with mud spots.
There was even a big hole on the toe of his cloth shoes.
"Chacha, look, what is this?"
Huo Jingye was holding a cloth bag in his hand. Inside the bag was a bright yellow area. Jiang Cha had never seen anything like this before.
"What is this? Is it delicious?"
Although Jiang Cha didn't recognize this thing, she knew that it must be edible.
After all, Huo Jingye really treated her like a child and would bring her delicious food every day when he came home from get off work.
"I knew you'd never tasted this before. It's called Huang Pao Guo, a wild fruit found in the mountains. It's sour and sweet, and it's delicious!"
Huo Jingye picked one up, put it in front of Jiang Cha, and then ran to the kitchen to wash the fruit.
Huo Jingchuan really couldn't stand Huo Jingye's arrogant look.
"Old Huo, can his clothes be washed clean?"
Huo Tingkun hadn't thought about this matter at first, but when Huo Jingchuan reminded him of it, he exploded on the spot.
"Huo Jingye, go take a shower for me right now, change out of your dirty clothes and wash them yourself!"
In their family, everyone washes their own clothes. Even after marrying Ye Surong, Huo Tingkun was reluctant to let Ye Surong wash a single piece of clothing for him.
Even when he washed his own clothes, he would wash Ye Surong's as well.
Only Huo Jingye.
He was like a naughty monkey every day, either going up the mountain or down the river. His clothes were torn quickly and got dirty even faster.
When he was diligent, he would rub them a few times. When he was not diligent, he would just crumple up his clothes and throw them into Huo Tingkun's dirty clothes bin.
In the end, it was Huo Tingkun who had to work hard and clean it for him.
Just thinking about it, Huo Tingkun's hand, which hadn't held a rolling pin for a long time, began to itch and was eager to use it.
He really hasn't beaten Huo Jingye for a long time!
Unfortunately, this child is the one who deserves a beating the most.
