Chapter 69: The Tube Building Attracted Thieves
Yu Hong was originally a little sleepy.
I suddenly woke up.
But she has experience in dealing with this kind of thing.
After all, she has lived alone for many years, and as a single woman raising a daughter, it is not uncommon for her to encounter such things.
The reason why we chose this tube-shaped building was simply because it was basically the dormitories for employees of nearby factories. Although being a worker was no longer a rare iron rice bowl in the 1980s, it was the most promising job ten years ago.
Not only will the factory keep you employed for life, but your work position can also be inherited and traded. Becoming a worker is like ascending the throne to become an emperor.
Yu Hong has lived here for many years and is familiar with her neighbors. If she encounters any problems, she just needs to shout and those idle uncles and aunts will stick their heads out to watch the fun.
Even though the old men and women may not be good at fighting, they are definitely good at watching the fun.
With so many people around, who would dare to mess around?
Yu Hong has experience in this regard.
She picked up a broom very skillfully and quietly approached the door.
Seeing how calm she was, Xia Keqing realized that this was not the future.
Of course, people in later generations could call the police at any time. In this era, neighbors were basically acquaintances. Most of them lived in this kind of tube-shaped building. There was not much else but a lot of people. If something happened in someone's house, every household would come to watch the fun.
Thieves are unwilling to come here to make sales.
Another point is that the toilets in the tube-shaped buildings are shared. If you happen to encounter an old man or old woman with a light sleep going to the toilet in the middle of the night, wouldn’t it be the end of the game before they even take any action?
However, Xia Keqing quickly thought of something.
If he really was a thief, he wouldn't knock on the door so late at night.
Don't thieves always sneak into a house and pick the lock when the owner is asleep?
So, could it be someone who actually knows Yu Hong?
But if someone comes to your house in the middle of the night, unless it’s urgent, he is not a good person.
Sure enough, Yu Hong leaned over to take a look through the peephole and cursed. She turned around and saw Xia Keqing, who looked alert. She looked a little embarrassed and guilty.
"I'm sorry. I invited you to stay at my house for one night because I thought it would be inconvenient for you to go back to the dormitory. I didn't expect you to encounter something like this."
As soon as Xia Keqing heard Yu Hong's words, she understood.
The people outside are definitely acquaintances.
And he is someone who is not liked by Yu Hong.
Xia Keqing thought about it, frowned and asked in confusion, "Ex-husband?"
Yu Hong's face changed and she looked even more embarrassed.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. I'll chase him away right now!"
"He is a shameless person, but he is very timid. He won't be dangerous, but he is disgusting."
While explaining, Yu Hong was about to open the door and chase her ex-husband away.
When Xia Keqing heard that she guessed correctly, she felt a little relieved.
No wonder Yu Hong herself wanted to find someone to remarry, it turns out she was still entangled by her ex-husband.
But the couple is meeting in the middle of the night, so isn't it a bit redundant for me to be here?
Thinking of this, Xia Keqing felt a little uncomfortable.
But they were just ex-couple, and Yu Hong obviously did not look happy when she mentioned her ex-husband.
Maybe she could be of help here?
Xia Keqing took two steps back, pulled a stool and sat down.
He didn't even throw away the feather duster in his hand.
Although this thing can't hurt people, poking it into someone's eyes can still buy them some time to escape.
If the couple ever fall out and have an argument, this feather duster will still be useful.
Yu Hong's ex-husband was called Zhao Chengfeng. He looked quite decent. When he saw Yu Hong open the door, he was afraid that she would see that it was him, so he closed the door again and squeezed in immediately.
"Is Lanlan home?"
He whispered flatteringly.
Yu Hong glared at him and said in a very bad tone, "Don't you see what time it is?"
She sniffed and immediately became even angrier, "Have you been drinking again?"
"You're drunk and come to my place in the middle of the night. Do you think this is a hotel?"
"You are such a person, how dare you come to look for my daughter? Where were you when your mother kicked me and my daughter out of the house? You hid in the house and didn't dare to say a word. Now you come to look for my daughter? How dare you? I ask you, do you have any shame?"
Zhao Chengfeng was obviously used to being scolded by Yu Hong.
After being scolded by her, he didn't feel any pain at all and even laughed foolishly, "Stop scolding me! Why do you scold me whenever you see me?"
"I just came here with great difficulty, and you don't even welcome me?"
"I haven't remarried in all these years, and neither have you. Aren't you waiting for me?"
Yu Hong was so angry that she started cursing!
"Bah!"
"I haven't married because I haven't found the right one. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Is that your character? I will always wait for you? Who do you think you are?"
Zhao Chengfeng didn't care at all about Yu Hong's scolding. As the saying goes, a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man.
When she was young, Yu Hong was the most beautiful girl in their village. It was by relying on his persistence that he managed to get her and marry her.
If his mother-in-law hadn't asked for a huge sum of money as a dowry, his mother wouldn't have made such a fuss with her.
In addition, Yu Hong was not pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, otherwise it would not have happened.
Zhao Chengfeng still thinks that the reason why he and his wife had such a quarrel was because of his mother-in-law, because Yu Hong was not pregnant, and because Zhao Lanlan did not have a son.
The two people's concerns are completely different.
Zhao Chengfeng drank a lot of wine and was drunk, and his mind was not very clear.
He burped.
"Or let's remarry and let Lanlan have a complete family!"
As he said that, he moved closer to kiss Yu Hong, but suddenly he saw Xia Keqing sitting on a small stool with a feather duster in her hand. He was so frightened that he sobered up a lot.
Fortunately, Xia Keqing was not wearing white and her hair was tied up with Zhao Lanlan's hair tie, otherwise Zhao Chengfeng might have been scared to death.
He stared at Xia Keqing and said, "Xiaohong, why are there outsiders in the house?"
Yu Hong deliberately said: "There is no outsider, you are drunk."
Zhao Chengfeng’s eyes widened even further.
His hands began to tremble, "Then, who is she?"
Yu Hong originally wanted to say that this was my distant niece, but seeing Zhao Chengfeng like this, and remembering that this coward had been afraid of ghosts since childhood, she deliberately said sinisterly: "Who? Who are you talking about? There are only two of us at home, are you drunk and dreaming?"
Zhao Chengfeng rubbed his eyes hard.
Xia Keqing also understood Yu Hong's meaning immediately. She continued to sit on the small stool, swung the feather duster in her hand, and gave a sinister smile.
Zhao Chengfeng's eyes widened and his pupils became dilated.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was shaking like a sieve and his legs began to tremble. Then he turned his head around, but because of extreme fear, his body was out of control and he froze.
About three seconds later, he let out a howl, opened the door quickly and ran out, howling as he ran.
Soon, the entire building was alarmed.
"What happened just now?"
"Could it be that someone's house was robbed?"
"Then notify the security department immediately!"
Yu Hong and Xia Keqing looked at each other, and she quickly closed the door, not daring to laugh out loud. After a while, there was a knock on the door again.
Yu Hong pretended to be woken up, "Xiao Yu, did you hear any noise just now?"
Yu Hong: "No, what's wrong?"
"I just got back from a business trip. I'm exhausted. I just went to bed."
The old lady next door suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's it, you've worked hard, go to sleep. I guess it's nothing, just a psychopath running downstairs and yelling, if we catch him, send him to the security department!"
