Chapter 219 Fishing in Troubled Waters
Jin Qiaofeng was in high spirits because of the good news. She got up early the next morning and was the first one to rush to the toilet.
Diao Yulian waited outside with straw paper in her hand and her buttocks between her legs. As October arrived, the weather began to turn to autumn.
When the cold wind blew, my body shivered and I couldn't help but urge outside.
"Jin Qiaofeng, did you fall into the toilet? Why are you taking so long? Come out quickly! I'm dying of suffocation."
He stamped his feet, shrank his body, and didn't dare to get too close.
"Can you please keep your voice down a bit? It's so early in the morning. What are you shouting for?"
Jin Qiaofeng came out with her belt tightened, her voice deliberately lowered.
Her son and daughter-in-law were still sleeping. The public toilet happened to be on the west side, so it was a bit close to her home.
"I won't talk to you anymore, let me go in quickly."
When Old Chang was still alive, the house only had two rooms next to Guan Lamei's house.
The westernmost room was originally occupied by a young couple.
The man in that family thought it was unlucky that his house was next to a toilet, so he wanted to move to an apartment building.
It just so happened that the young wife's family had some connections, and through someone, they allocated a small apartment to her.
After Jin Qiaofeng learned about this, she decisively raised money and took Lao Chang to "exchange" the house back for a few hundred dollars, and also wrote a transfer certificate.
He strolled back to the yard, washed his hands, and stretched his head to take a look at the backyard.
Gao Xiulan also got up and was standing at the door brushing her teeth, stretching her legs from time to time.
The room of the young couple of the Xie family was also quiet, with no movement.
Jin Qiaofeng nodded to herself and said that it was normal for newlyweds to be unable to get up in the morning.
She hoped that the two would have a good relationship and give birth to a grandson or granddaughter as soon as possible, so that she would have an explanation when she went down to find Lao Chang in the future.
Gao Xiulan had no idea what was going on in her mind. After washing up, she made breakfast with Xie Da Jiao.
Today is another working day. Thinking that Xie Yi is at home, I will make something good to nourish myself.
I have obviously lost a lot of weight after this trip. I can't take advantage of my youth and good health and not take it seriously. It will be a waste to take care of it when I am old.
Since Lin Xiaotong started working last year, her biological clock for weekdays has been formed, and she wakes up automatically when the time comes.
Looking sideways, Xie Yi was still sleeping. He had a very proper sleeping posture, his hands straight together, and his breathing was even.
She got out of bed very quietly. She took it easy last night, so her legs weren't very sore today.
As soon as she stood up straight, Xie Yi grabbed her hand. She turned around and saw that the man was looking at her with one eye open.
"Go to bed, it's still early."
The water of West Lake is the tears of migrant workers.
Xie Yi hugged her pillow and continued to sleep.
Lin Xiaotong was still yawning when she went out and continued to wash with her eyes closed.
This morning we had noodles, a plate of steamed meat pancakes, and a boiled egg for each of us.
The noodles are smooth and chewy, and the taste is neither salty nor bland. The bowl is also topped with green leafy vegetables and drizzled with a few drops of sesame oil. After finishing a bowl, your hands and feet will feel warm.
By the time Xie Yi finished washing up, she had just finished eating and was ready to leave.
"Xiaotong, it's raining outside, be careful on the road."
Xie Yi put on his coat and gave some instructions.
Gao Xiulan muttered, "Ernengzi is still a bit lucky. It was sunny yesterday, but it's drizzling today."
Every autumn rain brings a chill. I ride my bike to work this morning, holding an umbrella in one hand.
I tightened my coat, but it was still a bit chilly.
He Cuicui was indeed the last one to arrive today. When she arrived, she was faced with the teasing looks of Yan Yue and the other two.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's not like I have flowers growing on my face."
"Wow, it's different after getting married. This little face is so tender that you can even pinch water out of it."
Yan Yue touched it directly.
"Yan Yue, just wait for me. When you get married, I will definitely strangle you."
After He Cuicui finished her harsh words, she lowered her head and took out wedding candies from her bag, giving each person a handful.
When she got married, Yan Yue and Sister Mei didn't come, but each of them gave a gift of two dollars.
In the morning, after she finished her breakfast, her mother-in-law specifically asked her to bring some, and she grabbed several handfuls. Of course, Ernengzi's pockets were also filled with them.
Qin Weihong was not here today, so He Cuicui didn't give it to her.
Sister Mei asked, "Hey, Xiaotong, is your man back?"
"Yes, I came back at the end of September and didn't stay for many days."
"I heard that Phoenix is in chaos right now, and the returning truck was even robbed."
He Cuicui spit out a mouthful of anger, her tone indignant:
"Those with evil hearts are truly evil. They're trying to take advantage of this situation."
Yan Yue also had a look of disgust on her face: "This kind of person has no heart at all. No, they can't even be called human beings."
Lin Xiaotong felt bad after hearing this and sighed.
"We also encountered it when we were returning, then—"
At that time, Manager Cai led four large trucks back along the same route, with the old, weak, women and children in the back of the trucks.
When we were driving at night, suddenly a group of people jumped out in front of the road, holding sticks in their hands, and there was a big tree blocking the middle of the road.
He shouted at people to come down and hand over all the things they had.
Before he could finish his boast, Lu Hong opened the car door and kicked someone away.
Manager Cai came down with a wrench in his hand: "You little jerk, you're not learning your lesson. I'll beat you to death."
Of the remaining three drivers, one stayed behind to watch the car, and the other two joined the battle.
Lin Xiaotong rushed to the back of the carriage, where there was a bundle of thick sticks. She took one in her hand and signaled the other comrades to take up their weapons.
The first person to cooperate and stand up was the female comrade we had met before. She protected the two children behind her, holding a stick tightly, ready to hit someone.
The remaining people who had the strength all picked up sticks and held them in front of their chests.
Sure enough, a disgusting thing also crawled up from behind, looking at the women and children in the back compartment with lustful eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Xiaotong didn't wait for anyone to make a move and directly hit the person in front with a stick.
"Bitch, come on, all of you!"
The man who was hit on the forehead wiped the blood from his hand, and climbed onto the carriage in a rage.
One was on top and the other was on the bottom. Lin Xiaotong and the others didn't care about anything and just beat them with sticks, just like hitting watermelons, one by one.
Before they had played for long, Lu Hong knocked down the person who was blocking the way.
Manager Cai pressed the man down with his legs, and he and the driver tied up the man's hands and feet with ropes.
Lu Hong picked up the wrench and started a new round of attack.
Lin Xiaotong beat them up, Lu Hong beat them down, and the remaining small group of people finally cried for their parents, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, crying with tears and snot.
Finally, before leaving, these people were tied to a big tree and dragged away by a pair of passing military comrades.
Next time we were on the road, no one dared to sleep too soundly. They would touch the guy next to them at the slightest sign of trouble.
He Cuicui was also frightened after hearing this: "Fortunately, those of you who went there have armed forces."
If she were there, she would be in a panic.
"That's nothing. You would never have thought of this."
Lin Xiaotong took a sip of warm water and prepared to continue.
