He closed the door with his backhand and sat down on a bench. Everyone looked at each other in surprise. This was a gathering of middle-aged men! Several people simply came to Zhou Qun's side and sat at the door of his house. Zhou Qun began to pass out cigarettes.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I don't smoke."
Yang Lixin: “I don’t smoke either.”
Zhou Qun patted his head and forgot about it.
Zhuang Zhixi went to the infirmary right after graduation. This is not a place for smoking. If you really smoke, it is very unruly. So Zhuang Zhixi never smoked, and he did not change after getting married. As for Yang Lixin, it was also a professional habit. He was a cook, and he did not smoke. He smelled of cigarettes, and he was afraid that the host would be unhappy.
The smell of oil smoke is different from the smell of tobacco.
Four old men sat in a row. Only Zhuang Zhixi was in his early thirties, while the other three were in their early forties.
Yang Lixin: "What's wrong with you guys?"
Everyone was silent. Zhuang Zhixi asked, "What about you?"
Yang Lixin didn't say anything. Everyone had their own difficulties. Zhuang Zhixi leaned against the wall and said, "I'm worried about my mother."
Several people looked at Zhuang Zhixi in unison, wondering what he had to worry about. Aunt Zhao was full of energy and could easily beat up a man, so what was there to worry about? Bai Fendou said bluntly: "Is this true? Why are you worrying about her?"
Zhuang Zhixi looked a little melancholy, and said, "I brought back some bell-bottom pants this time. My mother sold them very well, but they were sold out very quickly."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"You are taking advantage of me! What does this have to do with your mother?"
Zhuang Zhixi said faintly: "This thing is sold out, my mother wants to buy more, what do you think she can do?"
Everyone was stunned.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'm just worried that my mother might want to go to Guangzhou to buy goods."
He brushed his hair and said, "I am sixty years old, how can I not be worried?"
The three people nodded: "It's time to worry."
They thought, hey, you know what, this is something that only Aunt Zhao could do. If an old lady of this age really went to Guangzhou to buy goods, her children would be really scared out of their wits.
Looking at Zhuang Zhixi again, the look in his eyes was full of sympathy.
Yang Lixin also sighed and said, "The fried dough sticks stand in the alley is going to close, and I want to take it over. But I am very hesitant. I don't know what my family thinks. Besides, I still have a job..."
If he really gets up early to sell fried dough sticks, then his work will definitely be delayed. If it does not delay his work, no one will care, but if it delays his work, the boss may fire him.
He was very melancholy and a little confused, feeling helpless about the future.
Everyone nodded and said, "You should be worried about this. This is no small matter."
"What about you?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Qun. Zhou Qun pursed his lips and looked at Bai Fendou.
Bai Fendou: "What are you looking at? You are looking at shit."
He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I plan to buy a tricycle and go to the railway station in the evening to pick up passengers. But, you said tricycles are not cheap, and I am not sure..."
"Ah! You actually want to do this." Zhou Qun was shocked, but then he thought, this is actually suitable for Bai Fendou. Bai Fendou has a bad temper and a bad mouth. It is definitely not a good idea to open a stall. You may offend people. But if it comes to riding a tricycle, this is nothing! He thinks Bai Fendou's idea is still very good.
At least it conforms to Bai Fendou's actual situation.
But even so, no one dares to say whether this job can make money or not. No matter what you do, some people make money and some don't. Besides, a tricycle is really not cheap.
The men nodded: "You are right to worry."
"What about you? What are you worried about?"
Everyone looked at the last person, Zhou Qun.
Zhou Qun: "I..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Saner coming from the backyard. He said, "I heard some noise outside and thought there were thieves. I didn't expect it was you. What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Zhou Qun spoke up: "Everyone has their own difficulties. These are the sufferings of middle-aged men."
Zhang Saner also felt worried when he heard about the hardships of middle-aged men. He said, "Give me a cigarette. It's not easy for me either."
"What?"
Zhang Saner: "The place we live in is small, so the children can only be raised at my mother-in-law's house. They are no longer close to my wife and I. Sometimes they don't listen to me. If they are disobedient when they are young, what will happen when they grow up? I am afraid that they will become like Su Jinlai."
"That's not the case."
Zhang Saner: "I thought that the child is still young and some minor problems can be managed, but as soon as I tried to manage them, my mother-in-law and father-in-law would stop me, throw faces and get unhappy, and scold me and my wife. You say I am the same... Hey, you say it is difficult for me to raise the child there."
Several male comrades looked at Zhang Saner with sympathy. Yang Lixin seemed to be the most touched. As a live-in son-in-law, he understood the difficulty of not being able to hold up one's head in the father-in-law's house. He patted Zhang Saner on the shoulder and said, "We are both in this world together."
Zhou Qun: "You guys..."
"Why are you all here?"
Well, I was just saying this and Zhuang Zhiyuan actually came out.
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows: "Brother, why did you come out?"
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Give me a cigarette, I can't sleep."
He blew out smoke rings and said sadly: "Hu Tou took the college entrance examination this year. His grades are average, his looks are average, his personality is average, and now even his performance is average. What do you think I should do? This child is not the type who can work in a workshop. I am so worried."
He would rather be average in everything, but also hopes that his children will be good in everything.
But this idea is always beautiful, but in reality, alas.
Everyone understood Zhuang Zhiyuan's difficulties and said sympathetically, "Just be positive. Whatever you can do in the exam, it's fine. The child hasn't done that yet. I think you two are going to become crazy. You're so worried every day."
Zhuang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "Of course not, but how can a parent not worry about their child?"
“It’s not easy for you.”
Everyone fell silent. After a while, Bai Fendou said, "Zhou Qun, you haven't told me what you're worried about yet? Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Qun: "Me? I'm thinking about the future! I have a son, how can I not think about him? Everyone wants to make some extra money, I want to too, but what to do, I really can't think of. You said I'm an electrician, but I can't go out and fix people's wires, right? I can't afford to lose face if I run a stall, I don't know what I can do. So I came out to sober up."
"How can setting up a stall be shameful? How can you talk like that? The policy allows it, so you think it's shameful?" Zhuang Zhixi said bluntly, "It's ok for you not to respond to the country's call, but how can you look down on small vendors? All people are equal, and it's not good for you to do that."
Zhuang Zhixi was talking, Zhou Qun: "Oh my god, it's like a rabbit chanting a sutra."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Besides, isn't your family pretty good? Both working couples have high salaries, and you still want to make extra money?"
"that is."
"Of course you are. Your family is the best off in our compound. You earn a lot but have a simple family."
"You have lived a good life for too long and have become more Westernized."
Zhou Qun: "Pah. Where am I? You all are making progress, but I am the only one standing still? If no one moves, I won't be in a hurry. But you said everyone is rushing forward, how can I not move?"
"That's true."
Zhou Qun thought for a moment and said, "No, we are all neighbors, and it's rare for us to get together in the middle of the night. You guys can help me figure it out. What do you think I should do?"
Everyone was silent for a while, mainly because Zhou Qun seemed to be incapable of doing anything. It was even more impossible to do something desperately, because it was not that serious. Everyone shook their heads, and Zhou Qun sighed heavily: "You see, I am the most worried."
The six old men were feeling very melancholy as they faced the evening breeze.
Everyone has his own difficulties, this is what middle-aged men are like.
As one of the younger members, Zhuang Zhixi was really worried about Zhao Guihua going to Guangzhou. Zhuang Zhixi had noticed it since his mother asked Wang Zizhen about the purchase of goods yesterday. His mother was not an old lady who lived in peace and contentment. She was able to ride the wind and waves.
He sighed: "Your things are all small matters, mine is a big matter."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "What?"
As soon as Zhuang Zhixi said this, Zhuang Zhiyuan fell silent.
Why? He knew their brave mother as well as his brother.
"What if she really wants to go?"
Well, Zhuang Zhiyuan suddenly had one worry turned into two worries.
The six people sat in the yard in silence.
It was late at night, and Su Jinlai felt the urge to defecate. He cursed and went out while getting dressed. Yinlai slept soundly, and Tonglai turned over, but he still slept. Jinlai was in a mediocre mood, and went out in a daze with his clothes on. Going to the toilet at night was the most uncomfortable. It was not so comfortable even in the summer, let alone in this weather. Although it was not as cold as winter, it was still chilly.
He ran out in a hurry. After running a few steps, he suddenly felt that many eyes were looking at him. It was a feeling, a feeling of being stared at all at once. Su Jinlai quickly closed his eyes and chanted: "Heaven and earth, please bless me..."
Zhuang Zhixi and his group: "..."
Why did this guy do this out of the blue? Although we don't punish feudal superstitions anymore, it's not a good idea for you to do this. After all, you'll be criticized for being unscientific if you tell others about it.
Jin Lai didn't dare to open his eyes and ran out. As long as he could hold back the urge to poop, he would run home.
Woo woo woo.
He ran whizzing, closed his eyes, and stumbled: "Buddha Guanyin Tathagata Jade Emperor, please bless me, Su Jinlai, to be upright, and may all evil spirits retreat, and may the heavens and the earth bless me..."
He ran while muttering and quickly left the yard.
Several people were stunned. Zhou Qun asked, "What happened to this kid?"
"Who knows?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I think he is mysterious."
After a pause, he said, "But didn't this guy see us? We are big, living people sitting here, but he didn't see us? Are we air?"
Zhang Saner said in a cryptic way: "I suspect he didn't think we were air, but that he saw a ghost."
Zhuang Zhixi: "...Isn't this too exaggerated? Anyone can tell at a glance that we are living people!"
He stood up and said, "Forget it, go home and sleep. I can't control my mother even if I worry about her. I have to go to work tomorrow."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "I'm leaving for Bingcheng tomorrow. It will take several days to go back and forth. I'm leaving too."
He took two steps, turned around and said to Zhuang Zhixi, "You have to worry about our mother."
Zhuang Zhixi waved his hand: "I don't know this? Go away."
Zhuang Zhiyuan nodded and left sadly.
Yang Lixin stood up: "Then I have to go too. I have to go to the cafeteria to make breakfast tomorrow morning."
The workers start work at 7:30, and they have to prepare everything in the canteen at 6:30 to sell food, and they have to be there at 5:30 to start making breakfast. He rolled up his sleeves and went back, because he had to get up early. Bai Fendou: "I'm leaving too, I have to work hard in my workshop."
Their machinery factory has accidents every few years, many of which are caused by distraction. Although not all jobs are dangerous, you always have to be careful. After all, the work in the workshop is not easy, and Bai Fendou also left.
Zhang Saner saw that everyone had left, looked at Zhou Qun, and said, "I have to take over at 6:30, so I'm leaving."
The work of the security department is not easy. Recently, someone stole steel. In order to catch this gang of thieves, they are quite busy at work. He said, "You should also go to bed early."
If this is said, Zhou Qun really has it easy. After all, the work of the electrician team is flexible, and they can rest when there is no work.
Zhou Qun: "It's boring for me to sit here alone since you guys have all left. I'm going to go to the bathroom and then go home to sleep."
You know what, although he was a little anxious about doing something better before going out, after he really went out, he happened to meet a few gay men who couldn't sleep late at night, and he suddenly felt that he had nothing to worry about.
In fact, his life is pretty good. Although he hasn't figured out what to do to earn extra money, he feels relieved when he sees that others have their own worries. Well, knowing that others are not doing well makes me feel good.
Zhou Qun put his hands behind his back, hummed a little tune and walked out of the door. He came to the bathroom and met Su Jinlai walking out. Su Jinlai was already scared, and when he saw someone coming towards him, he screamed.
Zhou Qun: "Fuck, what's your name? Are you sick?"
Su Jinlai was so frightened that he trembled on the spot. He looked again and saw that it was Zhou Qun. He got angry and said, "Why didn't you make a sound when you came over? You scared me."
Zhou Qun: “……?”
He was very rude and cursed with his index finger raised: "Su Jinlai, are you sick? Why did I make a noise when I walked to the toilet alone in the middle of the night? But you, is it that serious? You are a masculine young man. You are so scared. Are you more courageous than a needle? It's really funny, get out of the way!"
He twisted his waist and went into the toilet.
Su Jinlai: "...sissy!"
Zhou Qun exploded when he heard this. He came out of the toilet, pointed at Su Jinlai and cursed: "What do you mean, you bastard? Whose mother are you talking about? My mother? What kind of good guy are you? Look at your face full of kidney deficiency, and you still have the nerve to say my mother? I'm such a man. Mother's ass! But you look like you have been squeezed dry by women, with a dry face and a weak body, you are just a waste. No wonder Guan Hong's family doesn't agree with their daughter being with you. If a family has a daughter who is with you, it will be unlucky for eight generations. People like you are not good at first glance, bah, bah!"
"You, you, you!" Su Jinlai looked at Zhou Qun in front of him and felt that he was really unmanly. How could he act like an old woman and still say that he was not a woman? He was clearly a woman. He scolded, "Why do you scold me? Don't you see what kind of person you are? Do you think I don't know about your affairs? You are bisexual. You like old ladies and you also like old men, like the one who used to live in our courtyard, the one called Chen Yuan. He was scared away because you had bad intentions towards him. Even though I am young, I know it too!"
Although he was not at the scene at the time, he came to listen to people's discussions and heard about it.
Haha, how dare such a person talk about him? "You are talking nonsense. Chen Yuan moved out to live in a building. You are actually throwing dirty water on me? You know nothing. How dare you talk about me? You were a thief when you were a child. You were sent to prison twice. You are not a good person. When you were a child, you went to my house to steal things and we caught you in the act. How dare you stand here and talk? I think you should be sent to prison for reform."
"You are the one who went to prison. My place is a juvenile detention center, which is different from prison. Your mother is the one who went to prison. Your mother is a believer in feudal superstition, which is really ridiculous. Your family is like this, and you still criticize others."
Su Jinlai was also not at all inferior.
Even though he was young, he knew everything. Zhou Qun: "How can you be so embarrassed? You said my mother was superstitious, but you are the same? You were just talking about Tathagata Buddha, and you thought I didn't hear you?"
He sneered: "Come on, take a look. This shameless kidney-deficient bastard is a feudal superstitious person himself, yet he has the nerve to criticize others. He really doesn't know how big his face is."
The two of them stood at the door of the toilet and started spraying each other.
Although it was the dead of night, the two men were swearing at the top of their lungs, and soon the people in the courtyard near the toilet were alarmed. When they came out, they saw that these two guys were really out of tune. They were standing at the toilet door in the middle of the night, arguing with each other and wishing they could punch each other and knock each other down.
Both sides stared at each other fiercely.
Everyone in Daqiang's compound was alarmed. Daqiang was brave and came out early. When he saw that it was Zhou Qun, he asked, "Brother-in-law, why did you two quarrel?"
Yes, brother-in-law.
Aunt Zhou is also Wang Zizhen's godmother, and Zhou Qun is equivalent to his sworn brother, so there is nothing wrong with calling him brother-in-law.
Zhou Qun: "Come and judge for me. I came out to use the toilet, and he came out of the toilet and said that I didn't make any noise when I went to the toilet, and he also criticized me. Is this how people behave? Do I have to come out of the house with gongs and drums when I go to the toilet? Am I going to the toilet or to the grave? It's fine if this person just complains about me, but he also brings up old things. Do you think he's going too far?"
Daqiang said seriously: "That's too much."
Su Jinlai: "Get out of my way. Everyone knows you are relatives. How can you protect each other? It's scary to not hear any sound in the middle of the night. You Zhou Qun are not a good person. Isn't it normal for me to be scared?"
"Come on, can you? What do you mean you are normal to be scared? You are saying that as if I can do anything to you. You look like a weak-minded person, and I haven't even told you yet. You are a thief with a bad reputation, and I still suspect you are wrong."
"You bastard. You insulted me."
Su Jinlai threw a punch, but Zhou Qun dodged quickly and said, "I'll piss you off to death, I can't hit you."
“Fuck you!”
The two men rushed together and started fighting. No one expected that they would fight so quickly. It was really unexpected!
Zhou Qun is an adult man after all. Although he is not very strong, he is better than Su Jinlai, who has been weak in the legs recently. He pinned him to the ground in a few moves. Su Jinlai called him a sissy, which made him so angry that he pulled down Su Jinlai's pants and kicked him in the butt twice!
He put his hands on his hips, very much like Aunt Zhou, and cursed: "If you're looking for trouble, I won't be polite to you. Humph!"
Su Jinlai was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears: "You pervert, you big pervert, wuwaa ...
Su Jinlai never thought that in broad daylight, no, not in broad daylight, but not at night! Someone could actually do such a thing. It was pitiful for a young man with an innocent character. What could he do?
He cried loudly, covered his butt and ran away: "You are a beast!"
Zhou Qun: "Mom, what do you mean by running like this? Others will misunderstand..."
Daqiang was speechless: "You shouldn't have spanked him!"
He looked at Zhou Qun deeply, and it was a little hard to tell whether this man did it on purpose. After all, he did have some concerns in this regard. He looked at Zhou Qun with great sorrow, and silently took a step back. In short, he was very worried.
Zhou Qun stamped her feet in grievance: "I really didn't mean it! I just wanted to see if spanking wouldn't hurt."
He learned this from Wang Xiangxiu. He had been wondering why Wang Xiangxiu spanked her son. He didn't understand it, but later he figured it out. Wang Xiangxiu was probably afraid of hurting him, but spanking would definitely not hurt him because there was plenty of flesh!
Because of this, he chose the butt without hesitation when he took action just now. However, he looked around and saw that the people watching were looking at her with a very mysterious look. From that expression, you can tell what it meant without much explanation.
He panicked instantly, because of his reputation! He said, "I didn't mean it. I just thought spanking wouldn't hurt anything and there wouldn't be any follow-up problems. You have to believe me, I didn't mean any harm!"
"Then why are you taking off your pants?"
I don't know who said this.
Zhou Qun quickly explained: "Isn't this just convenient for me?"
Everyone's eyes became even more meaningful.
Zhou Qun: "No... Oh my god, please believe me, I'm not a bad person. I really didn't mean to do anything wrong! I, I, I'm so wronged! I just came out to use the toilet, wuwuwu!"
He also cried out of grievance.
If he talked about Bai Fendou that time, he wouldn't dare to say anything, because he just had bad intentions. But now, he was really wronged! He really didn't think much about it, he was not good enough, and he didn't have such a need at all.
Yes, he is not doing well, why do you still doubt him! Zhou Qun stopped crying and said righteously: "I am not doing well, why should I be so? Use your brains!"
Everyone was stunned, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, this is true."
“That’s right.”
"Maybe he likes this? Even if he can't do it, he might still want to have some fun, right?"
“Oh my god.”
"Oh my gosh~"
Zhou Qun was so angry that he was shaking. "How can you insult me like this? Don't say I'm not that kind of person. Even if I were that kind of person, I wouldn't look down on that little bastard Su Jinlai."
"But you were obsessed with Bai's struggle in the first place."
"Yes, at least Su Jinlai is still young and handsome, while Bai Fendou is neither young nor handsome. You wanted to make a move at that time."
The bad thing about having so many old neighbors is that any small incident will be exposed.
Bai Fendou came out to watch the fun, but was poked by someone. He yelled, "Stop talking nonsense, we are innocent. I will beat anyone who is making up stories about us. How can you gossip about others like this? It's okay to gossip a little, but isn't this too much? What if this gets out and the kids at home accidentally hear about it? You... damn it, who are you talking about! I won't be polite to anyone who says that!"
He rolled up his sleeves and was ready to hit someone.
Zhou Qun agreed when he heard this: "Yes, my reputation doesn't matter. What if your nonsense affects the children? If anyone talks nonsense, I won't be polite."
Since the two unreasonable people were really angry, everyone shut up. In fact, everyone was telling the truth, but the truth is not pleasant to hear. Don't bring up the past. Otherwise, if they get mad and really want to hit someone, they will suffer.
After all, everyone knows that no matter whether it is Bai Fendou or Zhou Qun, although these two people are not good people, they are good fathers.
"Let's go."
"Let's all go home."
"What's going on?"
"Actually, it was Su Jin who made such a fuss. There's really no need to make such a fuss about going to the toilet. Why are you so timid?"
"that is."
No one wanted to offend the old gangster Bai Fendou and the other one, so they could only say some bad things about Su Jinlai.
Tong Lai: "What's wrong?"
He sat up, and even Wang Xiangxiu stood up.
Su Jinlai: "Zhou Qun. That bastard Zhou Qun took off my pants!"
"What!"
This time Yinlai jumped up.
Wang Xiangxiu immediately pulled Su Jinlai's pants and asked, "What did he do to you?"
Su Jinlai cried, "He kicked my butt."
Wang Xiangxiu's heart, which had been raised just now, was instantly relieved. She asked, "What's going on?"
Su Jinlai felt wronged, and cried as he told the story, crying out in grievance: "Do you think he is a pervert?"
Wang Xiangxiu knew about Zhou Qun's perversion.
But she also knew that Zhou Qun was not good enough! If Zhou Qun really had any ideas, Wang Xiangxiu actually didn't believe it. This was not because Zhou Qun was not good enough, but because she had been useless for so many years, Zhou Qun was obviously like an old woman.
He gossips, he grumbles, he spreads rumors, he is naughty, but it is really not easy for him to have such worldly desires.
She took a deep breath and said, "This matter..."
Su Jinlai suddenly felt the tears and said, "I have to move out."
Wang Xiangxiu: “Huh?”
Su Jinlai said seriously: "I have to move out. I think he has taken a fancy to me. Today is just the beginning. He must be in love with me and wants to monopolize me."
Wang Xiangxiu: “…”
Tong Lai: "That's not the case, is it?"
Yin Lai: "...Your idea is quite exciting."
Su Jinlai: "Why not? Are you still my family? Think about it, isn't it the nickname Big Bird that Zhou Qun gave me? I think he must have been eyeing me and taking a fancy to me at that time. Now he is just looking for another opportunity. He must find any opportunity. Then he will make me like this. Yes, it must be. I see through him."
Wang Xiangxiu, Yinlai, and Tonglai: "..."
The three people looked at each other.
Su Jinlai looked up at the sky with a melancholy look on his face. "A handsome man like me is destined to have more admirers than others, and the road of love is bound to be full of flowers and brocade."
Tonglai: "You can't use this word like that..."
Jin Lai: "Shut up."
Tonglai: “Oh.”
Jin Lai: "He just mentioned Guan Hong. He said that Guan Hong's family is not happy about Guan Hong and I being together. Think about it, why does he know all this? Why is Guan Hong's family not happy? Maybe he was the one who instigated it. It's him, it's him, it's him, he is deliberately destroying my marriage in order to occupy me."
The more Su Jinlai thought about it, the more he felt that this must be the case. He said that why Guan Hong didn't show up, it must be Zhou Qun who instigated it. It must be him!
Wang Xiangxiu felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this.
In this matter, Zhou Qun just took the blame for her.
The reason why Guan Hong didn't come these days was because of her.
This really wasn't because of Zhou Qun, but Wang Xiangxiu didn't do this on purpose. Although she didn't think her eldest son could raise a good wife, she wouldn't stir up trouble. After all, it wasn't easy for this guy to get a wife. So she wouldn't stir up trouble.
She was heard complaining about her eldest son in the workshop.
It's not Guan Hong. Girls like this put love above all else. She wouldn't agree even if she heard it.
That was Guan Hong's second aunt. Guan Hong and Wang Xiangxiu were not in the same workshop, but Guan Hong's second aunt was in the same workshop as Wang Xiangxiu. Naturally, she heard the complaints from Wang Xiangxiu and other workers, kept them in mind, and told her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
The official was originally not happy that Guan Hong chose Su Jinlai.
After all, they were happy to date Li Weiwei because he had a good family background, was hardworking, and worked as a temporary worker in the cafeteria. His efforts were visible. But let's talk about Su Jin... He had never met her before! He was not very reliable.
I already felt it was unreliable.
But she didn't expect that this child was even more unreliable. This time, she completely controlled her daughter. Because of this, Guan Hong didn't appear in front of Su Jinlai. Now Guan Hong has her family to send her to and from work, and they keep a close eye on her! She is not given any chance to contact Su Jinlai privately. Her second aunt keeps a close eye on her when she is at work, and her family picks her up when she is at and from work. In short, don't think about secretly going to Su Jinlai by yourself, don't even think about it!
This matter spread throughout the factory, but since Su Jinlai was not an employee of the factory, he naturally didn't know about it.
He now felt that it must have been Zhou Qun who did it, because Zhou Qun coveted his handsome face. He coughed, became more determined, and said, "Mom, I'm going to go out and hide for a few days."
Wang Xiangxiu pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Silver and copper came: "..."
Even though both children have experienced a lot, they really cannot understand their eldest brother's thoughts.
Zhou Qun coveted him? I couldn't see that at all! But neither of them dared to say anything. After all, what if this was true? Wouldn't the eldest brother's innocence be shaky? So, no matter whether it was true or not, it would be right to hide. The two sat aside silently, not daring to express their opinions.
Wang Xiangxiu was silent for a moment, then said, "Where do you want to move to? You have to let me know, right? If anything happens to you outside, none of us in the family will know."
Su Jinlai: "..."
He said, "I'll go look for a house tomorrow morning."
He sighed and said, "A handsome young man like me has endured too much."
At this moment, he could understand the suffering of Chen Yuan back then. Being targeted by the old man, he really felt something was wrong. He coughed lightly and said, "I want to rent a building. This kind of house is more convenient."
He has stayed in a hotel before and knows how big the difference is between a good and a bad stay.
He is different from ordinary people. He is also the first person in their compound to go to Lao Mo. He must be unique. If others have been to Lao Mo, they would have shown off long ago. It must be him.
"Okay, if you want to rent a house, that's fine. I'll ask Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhao to help you look for it. Oh, yes, I remembered Aunt Lian. She is well-informed. I'll go ask her too." Wang Xiangxiu pondered.
Su Jinlai: "Okay."
He said seriously: "You must keep this matter in mind and deal with it as soon as possible."
"I know."
Su Jinlai concluded that Zhou Qun fell in love with him. He was the kind of man who could arouse the love of both men and women.
He is just that awesome.
Although Su Jinlai was very nervous and worried, he was also secretly very proud in his heart.
No one understands this kind of pride.
Su Jinlai was firm and resolute, but Zhou Qun was so angry that he was shaking. When he went home, he kept mumbling: "What the hell is wrong? Am I crazy? Am I blind? Why am I so unlucky when I can do something else? Going to the toilet in the middle of the night has caused so many problems."
Jiang Lu had already gotten up when she heard the noise, but now she was very calm. Although she was very sad, she still said, "Go to bed early."
After a pause, he warned Zhou Qun: "Don't affect the reputation of your family."
Zhou Qun felt wronged: "I am more wronged than Dou E."
Jiang Lu looked at Zhou Qun deeply and said slowly: "I believe you about this matter."
Although Zhou Qun was not very reasonable, as someone who was sleeping with her, she could see Zhou Qun's current hobbies. She believed that Zhou Qun would not do anything reckless, but: "Don't do anything that would cause misunderstanding."
Zhou Qun: “…”
He looked up to the sky and cried, "People's words are scary, people's words are scary! I am more wronged than Dou E."
Jiang Lu: "Okay, go to sleep. Mom will definitely blame you tomorrow."
Zhou Qun felt even more aggrieved and shed more tears. He didn't know why his mother just didn't trust him. When something like this happened, it was like she had been shot. She gradually became resentful and distrustful of him.
This state of distrust really broke his heart, wuwuwu.
Zhou Qun was chattering away, but Jiang Lu ignored him and just went to sleep.
She didn't care about that, but in a trance, Jiang Lu felt vaguely that her mother-in-law had not made any trouble in the past ten years and was very well-behaved. Firstly, she was well-educated and really learned that there were some things she couldn't do. Secondly, it was because Zhou Qun's reputation was really... In the eyes of the older generation, it was no big deal if you had an affair with a lesbian, but you couldn't have an affair with a man.
This would be really shameful, and we would feel sorry for our ancestors.
Because of this, Aunt Zhou used all her limited attention to keep an eye on her son, well, to keep an eye on her son and take care of her grandson.
This guy has no time to make trouble.
Jiang Lu's eyes flickered, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully. Zhou Qun, on the other hand, was still sitting at the foot of the bed, sobbing, like a young wife who had suffered a lot of grievances, with endless pain, and tears flowing in her heart!
Because of Zhou Qun and Su Jinlai's incident, everyone was excited the next morning. They went to the yard to wash up and winked at each other. Bai Fendou sighed again that he had to stay away from Zhou Qun, otherwise if this guy relapsed, wouldn't he come after him again? Sure enough, this man was too brave, which was wrong, because he would be targeted by other gentlemen with bad intentions.
Bai Fendou quickly packed up and immediately rode out on his bike, fearing that he would meet Zhou Qun.
Little girl Bai Qingqing was eating buns at home and muttered, "Dad is so fast today."
He Lan smiled and said, "Your father is frightened."
Bai Qingqing blinked her eyes. He Lan didn't say anything. Instead, she rubbed her daughter's head and said, "Let's go to school with Qi Jin and the others later. We must be good friends."
Bai Qingqing nodded: "I know."
They grew up together, and although they would quarrel and fight, they would make up in the evening, and they would not hold grudges overnight. The children were together all day, and I was happy.
Bai Qingqing: "Mom, Yuanyuan said that her family is going to Beidaihe in the summer. Can we go too?"
The little girl looked up at her mother, full of anticipation.
He Lan: "If someone else goes, you have to go?"
Bai Qingqing nodded and said, "I want to go play with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan. Zhenzhen also wants to go, Qijin also wants to go, Siyuan also wants to go, everyone wants to go."
She was eating breakfast, her little mouth chattering. He Lan looked into her daughter's big eyes and said, "Okay, if they don't feel awkward, we'll come along."
Bai Qingqing was immediately overjoyed. She roared with joy, quickly stuffed the bun into her mouth, and said, "Then I'm going to tell Yuanyuan."
He Lan: "Okay."
She handed her daughter the schoolbag and said, "Study hard. Are you going to the Children's Palace after school today?"
Bai Qingqing: "Yes, Mom, I'm leaving."
The little girl quickly followed him to the yard and called out, "Seven pounds, seven pounds."
Qi Jin came out hurriedly: "I'm fine."
At this time, the other three children also came out. The five little guys went to the next door together and called the three siblings of the Ye family. The eight-person team faced the rising sun and sang together on the way to school.
The children all went to school. Zhuang Zhixi went to work early in the morning and told his wife: "If you encounter bad guys while selling things today, take them to the police station."
Mingmei laughed and said, "When have I ever been afraid of such a person?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's true, but it's better to be safe than sorry. If you're too confident, that's not a good thing. Be more careful."
Mingmei: “I know this.”
He went to work early in the morning, and Mingmei went out with Zhao Guihua, and a new day of setting up the stall began.
Because it is Tuesday, the business is not as good as yesterday. Some people came to buy yesterday because they did not bring money the day before yesterday. Today there are obviously fewer people. However, because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both showed some abilities yesterday, people around them don't dare to covet them anymore.
Although it seems easy to do business, if someone's sales are obviously good, they will be targeted. There are always bad people. However, Zhao Guihua and her husband were calm. She told her daughter-in-law, "If anyone comes to collect protection fees again, we will not be polite."
I was really stunned by the movie.
Although cinemas now won't show films from Hong Kong, some small private video halls will show them. Although the atmosphere is tight now, there are still some brave people who dare to open small video halls. The style of Hong Kong is completely different from theirs, so some street urchins who have seen the movies try to imitate them as if their brains were kicked by a donkey.
Just like the guy who came to ask for money before, it was the end of March and they were still wearing sweaters, but he was wearing big slippers, so he didn't let his feet freeze off! What an idiot.
These people have learned all these things, do they really think this place is as arrogant as in the movies? They have never felt the iron fist of justice. They deserve to be punished!
Don’t you even look at where you are!
Zhao Guihua glanced at it and began to speak: "Don't miss it if you pass by it, everyone come and take a look..."
The two were doing business outside. Business this morning was not as good as yesterday, but it was still okay. They sold a few more items around noon. Mingmei bought lunch nearby, but when she glanced inadvertently, she instantly saw an acquaintance.
This acquaintance was not someone else, but someone from their unit.
Yes, this is Guan Guiling.
Mingmei always ignored this woman at work. She didn't like this kind of woman with abnormal brain. Her man Zheng Yufeng was not easy to deal with. He always used Guan Guiling as a pretext to cheat her out of money.
Guan Guiling was risking her body to make money. She was different from those who sold their bodies, but she was not necessarily better than them. He hurt himself to get money. Mingming, Zhou Qun and Bai Fendou were all classmates. They were in their early forties, but they really looked like they were over fifty.
And at first glance, this person is in poor health. If she still had the charm of a mature woman ten years ago, now she looks like a skinny and sallow old lady. Her mother-in-law, Zhao Guihua, is fifty-nine this year.
Guan Guiling is only about 42 or 43 years old, but if you say that Guan Guiling is Zhao Guihua's younger sister, who is only two or three years younger, there will definitely be people who believe it.
She has been wasting her body over the years.
Guan Guiling was not alone, there was another girl with her. If you look at their faces, you can tell that they were mother and daughter. Or maybe not, but Mingmei had seen the back of Guan Guiling's daughter and it felt like it.
At this time, Guan Guiling and her daughter were looking around. The person they were looking for was certainly not someone else, but Mingmei.
Guan Guiling had always been jealous of Mingmei. They were both women, but her life was countless times better than hers. She only heard today that Mingmei had taken a leave of absence from work because her mother-in-law was making trouble and wanted to set up a stall.
Guan Guiling's heart was instantly filled with joy. She felt relieved to see Mingmei not having a good time.
Why should others live better?
So, she immediately called her eldest daughter and came all the way here. She just wanted to see how embarrassed Mingmei was, or to sympathize with her from a superior position. Thinking of this, she laughed secretly.
She actually didn't know where it was, but her daughter went to the alley over in Xinghuali to ask someone for the approximate location, and then she found it.
She also put in a lot of effort just to enjoy Mingmei's fun.
The two of them looked out together. Mingmei saw it from a distance, and returned to the stall with her lunch, saying to Zhao Guihua, "I saw Guan Guiling."
She shrugged and said, "I guess you're here to watch my fun."
Zhao Guihua pouted and said, "Her? It's good enough that others don't watch her fun, but she has the nerve to come out and watch others' fun. She's so self-righteous. Oh, no, tell me how you pissed her off that she's so persistent and always wants to see you make a fool of yourself."
Zhao Guihua laughed and made a joke.
Mingmei thought about it seriously and said, "Maybe it's because I'm doing well. Some people are like this. If you're doing better than them, it's a sin. She won't be jealous of people who are out of her reach, but she will be jealous of the people in front of her. Working in the same unit with such people is like stepping on a piece of stinky dog shit every time I go out."
Zhao Guihua couldn't help laughing. After she had laughed enough, she looked in Guan Guiling's direction and said, "Let me see, this guy is now... Hey!"
She suddenly froze.
Mingmei: "What's wrong?"
She looked at her mother-in-law in confusion.
Zhao Guihua: "Who is that person next to Guan Guiling?"
Mingmei: "It should be her daughter, right? I think the outline looks a bit similar."
If a stranger only looked at her appearance, they might be a little confused, but Mingmei was not a stranger. She knew Guan Guiling's age and her family situation. She said, "That should be her eldest daughter. She seemed to have come to the workplace to look for her, but I didn't see her from the front, only from the back, but she looked like her."
Zhao Guihua took a deep breath as if she had a toothache, and after a long while, she slowly said, "Guan Guiling's daughter..."
Mingmei nodded: "Probably."
Zhao Guihua took another deep breath and said, "Is her name Zheng Huimin?"
Mingmei looked at her mother-in-law in surprise, then nodded: "Yes, her name is Zheng Huimin, her name is very special, I remember it."
Zhao Guihua looked like she had eaten a big news. She looked at Guan Guiling and her daughter in shock. She was confused for a moment, and then she sighed deeply. This world is so small, so small, so small.
Does the name Zheng Huimin sound familiar? This person is not someone else, but the wife that Su Jinlai married in his previous life.
The daughter-in-law who has no parents' home, who works hard in her husband's home, who remains steadyfast even when her husband is in jail, and who never gives up. She takes care of the children, the mother-in-law, the grandmother-in-law, and even her brother-in-law who has been released from jail and the children of her brother-in-law who is a gigolo.
This kind of woman is definitely the leading female character in rural TV dramas.
That kind of selfless dedication...
It can be called a popular anti-intellectual rural drama. Even this old lady can't stand watching rural dramas like the heroine, who works diligently and uncomplainingly for the Su family. In the end, it is the prodigal son who returns.
To be precise, Su Jinlai was exhausted.
At that time, he was already in his 50s or 60s. Even if he wanted to steal, he couldn't do it. He changed to being disrespectful and unreasonable, just like the old man on the bus. That's him! Anyway, Zheng Huimin has always been devoted to the Su family, but it's not surprising. After all, the daughters-in-law who married into the Su family all have this attribute. The daughter-in-law Wang Xiangxiu is like this, and the granddaughter-in-law Zheng Huimin is also like this.
This is all thanks to Old Mrs. Su.
But in this life, this old guy had been in prison more than ten years ago. I don't know if Zheng Huimin would still be devoted to him without such a master. Oh no, to be more precise, I don't know if she and Su Jinlai can meet again.
After all, the two lives are different.
But she was really moved. She could never have imagined that Zheng Huimin was Guan Guiling's daughter. She had a deep impression of Zheng Huimin, but knew nothing about Guan Guiling. The main reason was that in her previous life, Zheng Huimin came to the house alone with this little bag, and since then she has been deeply bound to the Su family and will never be separated.
I have never heard of her having a mother's family, nor have I heard of her parents. Now, at first glance, Guan Guiling is actually her mother, which is really confusing.
Zhao Guihua was really shocked when she saw Zheng Huimin, but she quickly recovered. The last life was the last life, and this life was this life. She always understood. She looked away, but Guan Guiling saw Mingmei and was instantly excited. She tried to calm down, pulled her clothes, came to Mingmei's stall, and said with a smile: "Hey. up a stall with your mother-in-law?"
She put on a sympathetic expression and said, "How long will it take to sell this? I'll buy one to help you."
Mingmei smiled and said, "Okay, then buy more. It would be great if you could buy them all for us."
She smiled and said, "Mom, please step back. Sister Guan is in poor health and always faints. If you happen to be the one to do this, all the pants we have sold will be in vain. Although you are older, you don't have as much experience as she does."
Zheng Huimin said softly, "How can you say that? My mother is kind-hearted."
Mingmei laughed: "I didn't say your mother had bad intentions, I just reminded my mother-in-law. Your mother is a very important person in the bus station, and she was scared away by Jiang Baohong, who was mean and wanted to scam people. She is a very capable person."
This is not nonsense.
Jiang Baohong has been at odds with Guan Guiling since the bicycle incident, but Jiang Baohong is no match for Guan Guiling. Relying on her trembling body, Guan Guiling has often tried to extort money from Jiang Baohong.
After suffering several losses, Jiang Baohong was no match for Guan Guiling. For some reason, she gave her job to her daughter-in-law, applied for a job, and went to another place to find her ex-husband.
However, when Jiang Baohong was about to leave, Guan Guiling was beaten up. It was so horrible, with a bruised face and nose, and her clothes were stripped off and thrown all over the floor. It was very embarrassing. She stayed in the hospital for a week. It was said that the doctor asked her to stay for a month, but Guan Guiling insisted on not going.
I'm used to it.
She insisted that it was Jiang Baohong who did it, but Jiang Baohong was already on the train at that time, so there was no evidence. In the end, Guan Guiling suffered a loss and the case was left unresolved! But since then, Guan Guiling has been even more shameless in doing fraud.
So now everyone in the bus station is afraid of her. She is also notorious outside.
However, it has not been easy for her to commit fraud in recent years, because even the nearby police stations are familiar with her.
You say that for a person to achieve this, he is truly a god.
Mingmei smiled and said, "Who doesn't know Guan Guiling, the scammer at the bus station?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people surrounding him retreated several circles.
Look at the power! Guan Guiling's face turned red with anger! (End of this chapter)
