Chapter 98 I Can't Laugh
Zhao Yunyun ran to call the red armbands that Fu Zhenggang worked with and his friends in the logistics department, and they all went to Fu's house to drink.
After everyone gathered, she hid the gold piece in a conspicuous place, then lied that she was going out to buy meat and ran away with the other gold piece.
She decided not to stay at Fu's house anymore and prepared to take the train to another place.
However, she left in a hurry and didn't bring any clean clothes, so she turned around and prepared to go home to get some things.
After she went to live with the Fu family, she never returned home. Her belongings were still at the Zhao family and she hadn't brought them back.
Just when she was going home to get it, she was ready to run away with the gold.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked back to the compound, someone covered her mouth and dragged her to a remote place.
Zhao Yunyun was no match for an adult man in terms of strength. Her mouth was covered and she couldn't speak. She pinched the man's hands with both hands and kicked back with both feet.
The man probably thought she was too troublesome, so he knocked her out with a knife.
Zhao Yunyun's neck tilted, her eyes closed, and her consciousness fell into darkness.
"Women are trouble."
The man looked around and saw no one in the alley. He carried Zhao Yunyun and quickly disappeared.
A handkerchief with something wrapped inside was left at the corner of the alley.
…
When Lin Xiaotong returned, she met Jia Yuhe washing clothes by the pool. To her surprise, it was not Jia Zhenzhen who was working.
Perhaps noticing Lin Xiaotong's puzzled look, Jia Yuhe reached out and balled up the clothes, put them into the wooden basin, and smiled awkwardly.
"Xiao Lin, why are you back so late? My Zhenzhen came home a long time ago after get off work."
"Girls shouldn't run outside all the time. It would be bad if you meet bad people."
Jia Yuhe's voice was soft, and she looked as if she was doing this for your own good.
"Auntie, why do you still have clothes like this at home?"
Lin Xiaotong said openly, pointing at the clothes in the wooden basin that were obviously men's clothes.
"This is... something Zhenzhen's father used to wear. I took it out to see if I could alter it for Zhenzhen. It's not easy for us mother and daughter to live..."
Jia Yuhe hesitated for a moment and wiped her tears as she spoke.
Lin Xiaotong took another look and said nothing. Finally, she pushed the cart to the backyard, leaving Jia Yuhe to perform on her own in the back.
"Mom, I'm back. I just saw Jia Yuhe washing clothes."
Lin Xiaotong came in and closed the door. It was cold and you would get cold if you ate without closing the door.
"Hey, is the sun rising from the west? She's such a lazy bum that she actually comes to wash clothes by herself?"
Gao Xiulan was also surprised, wiped her hands and replied.
"I saw men's clothes soaking in the pool!"
"It can't be a wild man's."
Gao Xiulan thought of the day when Lin Xiaotong accidentally saw a shadow.
"I doubt it. The dress is very new and made of Dacron."
"Jia Yuhe also said it was from Jia Zhenzhen's father."
"That's definitely not the case. Didn't the girl say her father was a farmer?"
Jia Zhenzhen is a big mouth and can't keep anything secret.
"I don't think so either, Mom. Xie Yi sent another letter back..."
"Let's eat quickly. It's almost dark. Let's eat first and then watch."
Gao Xiulan watched Lin Xiaotong take out an envelope from the bag. The envelope was bulging with stuff, and it would take a while for her to finish reading it, so she decided to eat first.
"Okay, Mom, I can smell the mutton soup. It smells so good."
Lin Xiaotong sniffed and heard the coal stove bubbling, filling the room with the smell of broth.
"Old Xie, it's time to eat. Let me serve you a bowl to warm you up first."
"First, pick up two chopsticks of vermicelli, pick up a few slices of lamb, pour three spoonfuls of lamb broth on it, and finally sprinkle some coriander, and you're done."
Lin Xiaotong followed Xie Dajiao's instructions and served herself a bowl of mutton soup.
The three of them sat down, with a large bowl of mutton soup in front of each of them.
The soup was still very hot, and I could warm my hands by pressing them against the wall of the bowl. I could only blow on the mutton soup in small sips and drink it in small mouthfuls.
We use discarded clay pots to grow coriander, green onions and other things at home. It is rare to see green in winter.
"I made meatballs out of the remaining mutton and added some chopped white radish. It tasted really good."
"Mom, I'm almost drooling just from what you said."
Lin Xiaotong couldn't help but burst into tears.
Gao Xiulan and Xie Dajiao smiled.
"Eat it with bread. The mutton this time doesn't smell at all..."
…
The smile on Fu Zhengze's face gradually disappeared when he got home.
He never imagined that his house had been robbed. Could this mess really be his home?
He looked at his stupid brother who was beaten black and blue and was crushed to death on the ground by the red armband.
Xia Caiyun, whose hair had been pulled out again and whose red armband was being tightened with her belt, was trying to rescue Fu Zhenggang.
"What's going on? Jianjun, what are you doing?"
Fu Zhengze frowned and looked at his brother-in-law, the second-in-command who was obviously the leader of the crowd.
The second-in-command's brother-in-law, Hao Jianjun, glanced at Fu Zhengze with a half-smile and sneered.
"Fu Zhengze, do you still take yourself seriously? You have good things hidden at home and yet you have the nerve to call yourself a proletarian."
The big man threw the ten gold bars in his arms to Fu Zhengze's feet.
When Fu Zhengze saw the familiar gold bars, some of which had teeth marks on them, his face twitched, but he quickly calmed down.
"Jianjun, you misunderstood. This is fake. It's not gold, it's brass. Look at the misunderstanding you've caused..."
Before Fu Zhengze could finish his words, the big man threw over a pile of gold and silver, including a string of Yuan Datou banknotes.
Fu Zhengze couldn't laugh anymore when he saw the pile of things on the ground.
What are these?
Where did you translate it from?
Does he still have these good things at home?
"You've hidden the confiscated items. I think you've reached the limit of your duties as Director Fu."
Hao Jianjun had already sent someone to notify his brother-in-law, and this time he would definitely be able to get rid of Fu Zhengze.
There was a noisy sound outside and the door was pushed open again. The person leading the group was Director Qin, Hao Jianjun's brother-in-law.
Look, isn’t this person here?
Fu Zhengze looked at the pile of things on the ground and felt very regretful.
If he had known earlier that his family had so much wealth, why would he have helped Fu Zhenggang for the fake gold, and why would he have tried every possible way to curry favor with Director Wang? He wouldn't have...
The three members of the Fu family were taken away for investigation. After the excitement died down, the neighbors dared to come out and gossip with each other.
…
Fu Wenlei hadn't been home for several days. After having dinner in the cafeteria tonight, he felt like going home and lying down.
Otherwise, Xia Caiyun will definitely cause trouble after a while. Women are trouble.
He walked leisurely to the office with his hands behind his back, ready to have a cup of tea before going back.
Then I saw Xiao Li from the Security Department knocking on the door and coming in hurriedly.
"It's Xiao Li, what's going on?"
Fu Wenlei picked up the teacup, blew on it, looked at Xiao Li, and asked slowly.
"Chairman Fu, something happened in your family. Your whole family has been arrested and taken to the Revolutionary Committee!"
Xiao Li was panting, his face a little red, and he spoke quickly.
"What!"
When Fu Wenlei heard this, blood rushed to his head and he couldn't hold the teacup steadily. He shivered and the scalding hot tea spilled all over his trouser pocket.
