Chapter 37: This perverted and twisted possessiveness is incredible...
Yao Zhizhi finally accepted the gift.
After all, this man was indeed her parents' adopted son, and everything was done for the sake of their parents' face.
I thought it would be enough to just accept the gift, but Qin Yicheng wanted to go see Yao Weihua, so Yao Zhizhi had to walk back to Ba Tiao Hutong with him.
We chatted casually on the way, and the topic was all about Yao Weihua.
Yao Zhizhi was a little curious: "Are you close to my brother?"
Qin Yicheng took two steps behind and smiled. "It was fine. We often played together when we were little. Growing up, no matter what good things he got, he would bring them home to Yao Jingjing. Now that the truth is out, I can understand why he wants to stay here with you. He wants to make it up to you."
"Actually, he doesn't owe me anything." Yao Zhizhi didn't want to ruin her third brother's life, but he was enjoying it, so she felt helpless and asked Qin Yicheng to help persuade him. "Talk to him, I'm doing well here, and he should think about his own problems. He should get married and work. I'd feel bad if I kept delaying him like this."
"Don't you know your own brother? Once he makes a decision, ten oxen can't change it. It's better not to try to persuade him. As long as he is happy, that's all." Qin Yichen smiled. While he was talking, he saw Yao Weihua and quickly greeted him.
Yao Weihua was sitting under the shade of a tree weaving a comb. She looked up and saw that Qin Yicheng had come with a lot of gifts in his bags.
Quickly put down the work in your hands, wash your hands, wipe them clean and come over to help.
"Brother Cheng, just come, and bring so many things." Yao Weihua took the things, turned around and took them to the back room, then hurried out to talk to his childhood friend.
The last time Qin Yichen came here, there were too many people and they came and went in a hurry. It would be better to take a closer look at this small courtyard now that he has some free time.
He had to admit that the environment here was really good, so he was not surprised when his godfather told him that Yao Zhizhi refused to go to the Northeast.
What's more...
As he looked around, he saw the man carrying the child. He had to suppress his bitterness and greeted him with a smile: "Brother-in-law is home too. He looks much better than last year."
"Yes, Brother Cheng, please sit down." Qi Changxiao is a decent man. Although he knows that Qin Yichen may like his wife, he still has to maintain the relationship in public.
For the sake of the two elders.
He went back to the house and found two small stools. Qin Yicheng quickly took them and took the opportunity to take out a red envelope and stuffed it into the child's hand: "Godfather told me that the child's name is Qi Minxing, right? It's a really nice name."
"Come here, little star, thank your uncle." Qi Changxiao accepted the red envelope and confirmed Qin Yichen's identity by the way - you are just an uncle, don't have any improper thoughts, look at what the real uncles in the yard do, you can learn from them.
Qin Yicheng smiled and said, "No thanks, please take the child inside. Let's go outside to dry out."
"Brother Cheng rarely comes here, how can I neglect him? Please sit down." Qi Changxiao chose a shady place to sit down. The little guy in his arms was blinking his big watery eyes and chewing his little paws seriously.
Qin Yicheng was a little embarrassed, so he just talked about the child. He came over to take a look and asked, "Can he roll over?"
Qi Changxiao held Little Xingxing upright and placed her on his shoulder: "She's too young. She'll be around four months old."
"That's right, it's almost a hundred days, right?" Qin Yichen calculated the days. Little Xingxing was born on May 5th, and today is August 5th, so it's almost a hundred days.
Qi Changxiao smiled and said, "Little Star, look how good your uncle is to you. He's even counting the days for you."
"Ah——" Little Star ate his fat little hands, making an unclear sound.
Yao Weihua was so amused that he said, "Maybe the little guy understood, hahaha."
"So cute, can I hug him?" Qin Yichen was very envious. The little guy was so fair and pretty. Although he hadn't grown up yet, it was conceivable that he would be a handsome boy in the future. His two uncles were not bad either, not to mention that his parents had impeccable facial features.
Qi Changxiao knew this was a love rival and shook his head: "He's too young to be held in my arms. Let's wait until he's six months old."
"Yeah." Qin Yicheng didn't force it. He turned around and talked to Yao Weihua about the wedding in Beijing. "Weihua, why don't you go to Uncle Tao's place? He's quite anxious."
"I'm not going, you go." Yao Weihua doesn't want to get married yet. He is only twenty-one, so why rush?
Qin Yicheng was speechless: "What should I do? He wants to become my godfather's relative, but I'm not his biological son."
"So what? Aren't you better than me? You're the youngest eighth-level worker. Everyone who sees you will give you a thumbs up." Yao Weihua is not a fool. Of course he can see that Qin Yichen's attitude towards his sister is a little unusual.
It’s better to send him away as soon as possible.
It's really sad to say that if the baby exchange hadn't happened, Zhizhi and Qin Yicheng...
Alas, what a twist of fate.
Yao Weihua couldn't bear to blame Qin Yicheng, so he could only give him some advice in a tactful way.
Qin Yicheng smiled and fiddled with a bamboo strip: "Then I won't go either. I'm here to provide construction support and will be on duty tomorrow."
Yao Weihua wasn't surprised. His sister subscribed to the newspaper, and he had seen relevant reports. He confirmed, "Is it the project in the mountains behind the western suburbs?"
"Yeah." Qin Yicheng looked at the time. It was getting late. He had to report to the design institute in the afternoon. He stood up and said goodbye. "I'll be leaving first. Come back when you have time."
"Eat your meal before you leave. It's rare for you to come here." Yao Weihua quickly dragged him to the kitchen. "Come on, it's perfect. Help me."
Qin Yichen had no choice but to stay, and subconsciously glanced outside the door while speaking.
Yao Weihua leaned against the window and waited until his sister and brother-in-law brought the child into the back room before he asked quietly, "You don't have any other thoughts about my sister, do you?"
"You want to get involved in this too?" Qin Yicheng was a little depressed. "Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything to destroy other people's families."
"You..." Yao Weihua was speechless. It seemed his intuition was right. He always felt that there was something wrong with the way Qin Yicheng looked at his sister. He could only persuade her, "Don't think about it. They are doing well together. They have a child, and my brother-in-law is in good health. You should give up on this idea as soon as possible."
"I said, I won't do anything. Don't you know who I am?" Qin Yichen lit a cigarette and got angry.
Yao Weihua punched him and threw two garlic cloves at him. "It's good that you can't do anything. Don't come here again in the future. I'm afraid my brother-in-law will get jealous. This guy is a shrewd person. He can see through everything and figured out my identity long ago. I thought my sister would be angry with him after knowing the truth. After all, he helped to conceal it for half a year. But hey, hey, he's so capable. Not only is my sister not angry, she even praised him. Just tell me, can you, with your straightforwardness, compare with him?"
"I can't compare." Qin Yichen felt inferior. If it were him, he would have been exposed long ago. How could he have kept it secret for so long?
So he admired Qi Changxiao from the bottom of his heart, but this did not stop him from being jealous.
Yao Weihua sighed and patted his shoulder: "I know you've been wronged, but things have come to this. What can we do? Look at it more positively. I'll introduce you to someone good later."
"Take care of yourself first." Qin Yicheng pushed him away. "Hurry up and cook. I have to report in this afternoon."
"Yeah." Yao Weihua felt a little sympathetic towards him. If his sister had not been switched, they would have been a good match.
Forget it, let’s move on.
During dinner, Tang Fengyuan came back with a strange story: "It's strange. Lately, people have been losing their underwear in the woolen mill's staff dormitory. They're all women. Report it to the police, but the amount is so small, there's no need to mobilize a large force. But if I just ignore it, isn't it a big deal if underwear is lost every day? Those women are really pitiful. I'll have to investigate this afternoon."
"Is there a gangster?" Yao Zhizhi could only think of this possibility. Maybe there was some wretched man nearby.
Tang Fengyuan was also unsure: "Maybe, Zhizhi, when you take Changxiao for a walk later, you can go over there and help ask around."
"I understand, Mom." Yao Zhizhi knew the hard work of grassroots police officers and was happy to help.
After dinner, Qin Yichen left. Yao Weihua rode his bike and personally took him to the design institute.
Professionals in practical fields like Qin Yichen can provide reasonable modification suggestions for the construction design drawings. After all, it is not advisable to just talk about it on paper.
Some designs violate the reality of construction and can only be changed.
So even though Qin Yichen doesn't have a university diploma, in fact, his eighth-level engineer certificate is much more popular than an ordinary university diploma, and people are vying for it everywhere.
When Yao Weihua saw the dormitory assigned to him, he knew that this guy would be treated well this time.
I took the opportunity to persuade him again: "With your conditions, you can find anyone. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Chief Guo to introduce one to you."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about my affairs. Go back quickly. I'll take a nap." Qin Yichen didn't want to listen to him chanting like Tang Monk.
Yao Weihua refused to leave and stayed to help him clean up. "The Design Institute has been very kind to you, Sanjianwu, and you're still a bachelor. I don't need to worry about it. Your leaders and colleagues will have to help you arrange a blind date."
Qin Yichen's face turned dark. He sat silently beside him, holding a cigarette in his mouth and lowering his eyelids deeply.
Yao Weihua understood him well, so he knew when to stop and said nothing more. He packed up and left.
Qin Yicheng closed the door, silently took out Yao Zhizhi's photo, and sat there until 1:50 in the afternoon.
It was time to go to work, so I put away the photos and went to report.
The work at the new unit was very busy, and I soon followed the cooperative construction team to the deep mountains in the western suburbs. I was afraid that I would not be able to come out for ten days or half a month.
*
It was nap time, and Yao Weihua went to see Qin Yichen off, so he was not at home.
Tang Fengyuan was still thinking about the case at the woolen mill, so he left after eating.
There were only Yao Zhizhi, Qi Changxiao and the child at home, and the child was asleep again.
The whole yard was quiet, with only the cicadas in the trees by the lake making noises, complaining about the summer heat at the top of their lungs all day long, never feeling tired.
Yao Zhizhi turned on the electric fan, put down the newspaper in her hand, and prepared to take a nap.
As soon as I lay down, the man came over and said, "I'm sore."
"Huh?" Yao Zhizhi was confused. "What are you sour about?"
"Level 8 worker, that's impressive." Qi Changxiao knew he couldn't compete, so he could only sourly ask his wife for a promise, "Will you dislike me?"
"You're so stupid." Yao Zhizhi smiled and rubbed his prickly short hair. "What's wrong with being an eighth-level worker? Does it have anything to do with me?"
"You don't have to comfort me." Qi Changxiao felt a little uncomfortable. If such a strong rival in love stayed in the Northeast, he could pretend that he didn't exist. But now, the person has been transferred here, and he is relying on his status as his father-in-law's godson to get close to him. His sense of crisis came instantly.
He was eager to prove something, but what could he prove?
The music academy was closed down and he was no longer needed as a pianist. Although his health had improved, he was still not as energetic as others.
Not to mention Qin Yicheng's muscular body, which makes him look very safe.
Looking at him again, although he has gained a little weight, his body is still thin.
Apart from being tall and having a pretty face, he has no other good qualities.
He had no choice but to make full use of his strengths and get closer to his wife.
He held the woman's slender, white fingers and touched them to his face: "Zhizhi, kiss me."
Yao Zhizhi noticed his uneasiness, smiled, hooked her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately.
It was midsummer, and she was sweating slightly. The material on her body was a bit of a hindrance, so she simply held his hands and helped her untie them: "Silly boy, I've already given birth to a child with you, how else do you want me to prove it? Another one?"
"No, let's take care of Xiao Xingxing first." Qi Changxiao wanted to try it once, to please his woman completely by himself, instead of lying down halfway and letting his wife move.
Maybe he was stimulated by his love rival, or maybe he was really well again, this time he really gave Yao Zhizhi an unexpected surprise.
Especially when he held her on his lap, her long hair confused her vision, and the unprecedented experience made her addicted.
Just be more generous and give him more encouragement.
Hearing the whispered sweet words in his ears, Qi Changxiao was like a general going to the battle despite being sick. He quickly suppressed all the slight illness and became more and more courageous as the battle went on.
At the moment the city was completely captured, the two young souls were tightly entangled in trembling and joy, inseparable.
After a pause, he stretched out the hands that were supposed to play the piano and helped her comb her messy hair: "Zhizhi, don't look at him, just look at me, okay?"
"I'm not looking at him." Yao Zhizhi smiled, holding his face and giving him a drowning kiss. "No matter how good others are, it has nothing to do with me. I'm only looking at you, little snail daddy."
"Little snail mother, you are so kind." Qi Changxiao's uneasy heart was soothed. After cleaning up, he tiredly hugged his beloved woman and fell asleep.
Yao Zhizhi was no longer sleepy. It turned out that jealousy could make a man so crazy.
She wanted to laugh, but also felt a little sad.
Little snail dad, you are the best in my heart.
I chose you when I was sick, and now that I'm better, why would I look at others?
So stupid.
Smiling and stroking the man's face, Yao Zhizhi leaned over and kissed him gently. She picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the touching moment, turning it into words and then into a story.
Soon, Yao Weihua came back. Yao Zhizhi was not sleepy, so she went out to give some instructions and rode her bike alone to the staff dormitory of the woolen mill.
Many staff dormitories these days are enclosed buildings in the shape of a bald treasure roof, with three-story buildings on the east, west and north sides respectively, forming a courtyard, and a courtyard wall on the south side.
There's a well and a clothes drying rack in the yard. Someone even found some discarded boxes, filled them with soil, and placed them in a corner. They stuck a few garlic cloves in them, and they grew into lush green garlic, along with green onions and chili peppers...
Chinese people never forget to grow vegetables wherever they go.
Yao Zhizhi stopped the car, locked it, and took a look around. As soon as she arrived, the Guayuan alarm sounded.
Yao Zhizhi clicked on it and saw the key words: embezzlement.
Weird, is it about underpants? Why would someone steal something like that?
Yao Zhizhi was curious, so she entered the yard without saying a word and just took a look.
Two old women were sitting in the middle of the yard, one was brushing a child's diaper and the other was knitting a sweater nearby.
When I saw Yao Zhizhi coming over, I looked at her curiously. What a pretty girl.
With the enthusiasm of knitting, he smiled and asked, "Girl, who are you looking for?"
"Auntie, I have a relative living here. I came here to get familiar with the route so I can come visit later." Yao Zhizhi lied casually.
The knitter smiled and asked, "What's your relative's name?"
Yao Zhizhi made up a story: "She is an aunt from my hometown. I only know her last name is Zhang, but not her real name."
Zhang is a big local surname, so the probability should be higher. It doesn’t matter if you get it wrong. After all, they are relatives from my hometown, so it is normal for the younger generation not to be familiar with them.
The auntie who was knitting stopped what she was doing and asked, "Girl, are you a relative of Director Zhang's?"
Yao Zhizhi was amused. It was truly a case of a blind cat catching a dead mouse. She didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either. "Auntie, your yard looks pretty safe, doesn't it? Is it closed at night?"
"No, it will be troublesome when the people working the night shift come back." The aunt who was knitting continued to knit.
Yao Zhizhi suddenly realized and looked around, but didn't find anything special. She could only come back later.
As soon as the person left, the woman knitting the sweaters started praising the diaper washer, "This girl is so pretty! Hey, do you want to ask if she's married so I can introduce her to your third child?"
"Are you blind? You can tell from her breasts that she is not a girl's. She even smells of milk, so she must be married." The diaper rubber curled her lips. She was no longer a virgin, so no matter how good she was, she would not look down on her.
The knitting man has never been able to tell whether a girl is a virgin or a married woman, so he quickly asked for advice.
The diaper rubber started talking: "Look at those with big butts, they must have given birth, and those with big breasts must have given birth too. And the way they walk, any man can tell the difference at first glance."
How could she not feel that she was knitting in a daze?
Some people are born with big butts, while others are just well developed. As for walking, what do you say about some people having bow legs?
It was a bunch of crooked logic, but she couldn't find anyone else to talk to, so she just kept chatting. "Hey, your daughter-in-law's panties are gone again, and she called the police. Are you planning on stealing them again tonight?"
"Wow, how can it be considered stealing when it's your own home? It's her fault for being like a vixen, deliberately making the pants into that shape. It's so disgusting." The man who scrubbed the diapers had a mean look on his face, and he couldn't stand his daughter-in-law's vixen behavior.
Even though she has given birth to a child, she still pesters her son all day long.
That's enough.
Before the marriage, her son obeyed her every word. After the marriage, her son almost became his daughter-in-law's lackey.
She even helps her daughter-in-law peel the eggs before eating them. She totally ignores her as her mother. It makes me angry just thinking about it.
She was so angry that she would take out her anger on her daughter-in-law's clothes when washing clothes every day. She would either hit them hard with a mallet or rub them hard with her hands.
It seemed that what was being smashed was not the clothes, nor the fabric being rubbed, but the charming face of the daughter-in-law.
This perverted and twisted possessiveness made the knitter feel unbelievable.
But it's easy to understand. This woman's husband divorced her a long time ago, and she raised several children by herself, and she had great expectations for them.
Nowadays, her daughter is married and when she comes back occasionally, she talks about her son-in-law and children all the time. Her son is also married and treats his daughter-in-law like a treasure every day. As a mother, she can't stand it.
Well, after all, we are from the same courtyard and have been together for many years, so you should try to persuade him.
The knitter stopped what she was doing and said, "I think that's enough. We've already called the police. If they find out it was you who did it, this family will be broken up sooner or later."
"Impossible. She has already given birth to a child. Where can she find a good man like my son? Besides, she is not the only one I stole. It is difficult to target me." The man who was scrubbing diapers got up, poured out the dirty water, and filled two buckets of clean well water to rinse the diapers.
The knitter couldn't be persuaded, so he just gave up.
At dinner time, every household is busy. Those who eat fast go to the public bathroom to take a shower first, and those who eat slowly go later.
The woolen mill was profitable, so it had a public bathroom in the staff quarters and a dedicated boiler room where hot water was boiled at a fixed time every day.
If you go too late, you may only be able to take a cold shower.
The old woman's daughter-in-law wanted to get there first every day and would go there without even having time to eat.
She bought a small basket made of bamboo strips to store her laundry, and put the folded clothes in it.
Before going out, I checked my clothes again and again to make sure they were all there.
The man called her outside to eat.
She refused, and the man entered the room and dragged her out: "Eat an egg first. You've been busy all day and you still need to feed the baby. Hurry up."
The woman had no choice but to go out. The eggs had already been peeled, so she lowered her head and bit into the man's hand. The fragrant, white, and soft egg white cracked, and the woman hooked it on the tip of her tongue along with the yolk inside and put it into her mouth.
The man was jealous and went over to kiss the woman on the cheek.
The old woman was so angry that she turned around and went into the room, stole her daughter-in-law's pants again and hid them under the bed.
After the woman finished eating the eggs, she came back with the basket and left. The old woman still pretended to be nice: "Xiao Cui, did you bring the soap?"
"Bring mom." The woman hurried to take a shower.
When I finished washing and changed my clothes, I found that my pants were gone again.
It was really weird. She was so angry that she had to put on her outer pants and ran to the police station to report the case late at night.
It was not appropriate for a male police officer to intervene in this matter, so Lao Hu rushed to Ba Tiao Hutong and asked Tang Fengyuan to come over to help.
Tang Fengyuan had finished eating and was washing the dishes when she heard the noise and quickly wiped her hands on her apron: "Here they come."
Yao Zhizhi also wanted to go, and warned Qi Changxiao: "This involves the privacy of lesbians, so don't go. Stay at home and take care of the children."
Qi Changxiao was afraid that she would get hurt if they went, so he still wanted to go: "I'll just watch from outside the yard. Little Xingxing just had her milk, it's okay, let Third Brother look after her for a while."
"Okay." Yao Zhizhi knew that he had been feeling uneasy lately, but she still took him along.
When we arrived, the yard was full of excited onlookers.
After all, the owner was a young wife who had been married for a year and a half, and what she lost was her underwear. Tsk, no need to ask, there must be a hooligan in the yard.
Someone even suggested calling out all the bachelors in the yard and searching their houses.
Some people even complained, "What's wrong with bachelors? Maybe it's the married men who have evil intentions?"
In short, there are all kinds of opinions.
Yao Zhizhi followed behind her mother-in-law and immediately noticed the aunt who rubbed diapers in the afternoon.
At this moment, he was standing on the second floor, looking at his daughter-in-law who was being talked about in the crowd with a smug look on his face.
Yes, that’s right. It’s better to make a fuss about it, so that everyone knows about Xiao Cui’s misconduct and see how she can seduce men in the future.
Just as she was feeling proud, the old woman noticed the young woman next to Tang Fengyuan.
Yao Zhizhi's usual range of activities is not large. She usually stays near Ba Tiao Hutong and Yuhu Lake. At most, she goes to the vegetable market, state-owned shopping malls, post office and police station. She rarely comes to the woolen mill.
So the old woman didn't know that she was Tang Fengyuan's daughter-in-law.
Seeing the intimate gestures of the two, she was somewhat suspicious and couldn't help but whisper to the old sister beside her: "What is the relationship between that woman and Tang Fengyuan?"
"I don't know, relative?" The aunt who was knitting a sweater was so busy that she even knitted while watching the show. She held up the knitting needles, watched with her eyes, and was busy with her hands.
The old woman was a little unsure, and after thinking about it, she decided to go down and take a look.
Yao Zhizhi in the yard kept staring at that place. She asked the staff around and learned that the old woman was the owner's mother-in-law.
Yao Zhizhi immediately understood the doubts in the matter and tugged at Tang Fengyuan's arm: "Mom, the one who stole the things must be Xiao Cui's mother-in-law. Don't listen to her nonsense and search other employees."
Tang Fengyuan had seen his daughter-in-law turn the tide several times, so he naturally had no doubts.
He quickly told Lao Hu, "Go and tell those employees to stop making trouble. We won't search their homes. This is uncivilized and against regulations."
Lao Hu quickly went to the crowd that was shouting the loudest to calm them down.
Soon, the old woman came down, took Xiao Cui's arm, and pretended to be a good person: "You kid, it's not a big deal, but you made such a fuss. Now everyone is here to laugh at our family. Go back quickly, you have to go to work tomorrow."
Xiao Cui felt wronged. She couldn't understand why her pants kept getting lost. Other people lost theirs, too, just once, but she lost them every day.
She is not a dishonest person. She has lived a decent life since her marriage. She just gave birth to a daughter two months ago. Now her lochia has just been discharged and she doesn't have to be covered in blood anymore.
For this, she specially made a few new pairs of shorts for herself, but who would have thought that they would be thrown away at the slightest provocation.
This is the last one today, and now she has nothing to wear.
She felt very aggrieved. She shook off her mother-in-law's hand, stepped forward, and held Tang Fengyuan's arm, crying, "Auntie Tang, you must help me. I didn't offend anyone. Why is this happening?"
"Yeah, Xiao Cui is a very good child. She always greets the elders when she sees them, and she never gets angry with anyone. Why would he like to steal her things?"
"It must be some unmarried scoundrel."
Amidst the discussion, Yao Zhizhi smiled and said, "Auntie, look, your daughter-in-law has embarrassed herself in front of everyone. Shouldn't you be satisfied? Return her panties to her quickly."
What?
Everyone looked at the old woman, who suddenly turned pale with fear, was stunned for a moment, and denied it flatly.
Yao Zhizhi looked at her firmly and said, "How about we go to your house and search it?"
The old woman became anxious and blocked the stairs, cursing.
He cursed at everyone with all kinds of nasty things, which really made everyone's ears dirty.
Yao Zhizhi covered Xiao Cui's ears and stepped forward with a smile: "Auntie, look, if you didn't take it, why are you so anxious? Since you said you didn't steal it, let Xiao Cui search for it herself. It will just clear your name."
