The legendary "big ticket" was blown into the manure pit by the wind. Guan Guiling was so angry that she started looking for bamboo poles around without saying a word, which made everyone make strange noises again.
Ugh! Hu Huihui looked at the woman mockingly, thinking that it was worth it for only 50 cents. It was really embarrassing. She smiled coldly and said, "Let's go."
The rickshaw driver was very shocked by Guan Guiling and quickly pulled the rickshaw away. He said he had to stay away from this woman, otherwise the money he earned would not be enough to pay her back. Hu Huihui left like that. But the others did not leave. Everyone was looking around to watch the fun.
Guan Guiling finally found a bamboo pole at this time and started to dig it up.
Because Bai Fendou and Guan Guiling were arguing, the whole street came out to watch the fun. They stood at the gate of the compound and talked about it: "How much money is this? She just digs in the manure pit?"
"No matter how much money it is, it's still money, and it's not easy to make money."
"That's true. Look at how rich Hu Huihui is. It's normal for her to have a big unity."
"Yes, yes."
Everyone was discussing how much money it would take for Guan Guiling to just ignore it, but Xiao Tuantuan tilted her head and said hesitantly, "Wasn't that fifty cents?"
Mingmei looked down at her son and said, "Did you see it?"
Tuantuan nodded: "Yes, I think it's fifty cents."
Yuanyuan: "If fifty cents fell into the toilet, I, I, I..."
She gritted her teeth and worked hard for a long time, but still said bitterly: "Although 50 cents is a lot, I may not be able to pick it up. The manure pit is too disgusting."
The little girl can't get over this hurdle.
"Fifty cents..."
The other children also fell silent, and they all hesitated whether to pick it up or not.
This made me start thinking.
Mingmei: "Guan Guiling is a ruthless person."
While was discussing, Guan Guiling finally pulled out the fifty cents and looked at it carefully. When she saw that it was only fifty cents, she immediately started cursing: "This cheap woman, pretending to be rich, I thought she had given so much. Fifty cents is enough for everyone for her to be so arrogant, damn it. Why doesn't she go out and get hit by a car! She looks like a chicken! This..."
Guan Guiling's swearing was really disgusting. Mingmei immediately covered her daughter's ears and said, "You all go home and do your homework. Don't let such dirty words pollute your ears. What kind of person is she?"
The children were reluctant to leave.
Mingmei: "Hurry up, go home."
"ah..."
Mingmei was taking care of the children when she heard a sharp and rapid scream coming from outside.
This is Guan Guiling.
Although it was only fifty cents, Guan Guiling had no intention of giving up. However, the bamboo pole was always difficult to move, and she could not get it out. She was in a bad mood and cursed, fiddling around, wishing she could not get the money out immediately. She lost her strength and fell down.
A scream was heard, and at the critical moment, Zheng Yufeng grabbed Guan Guiling.
Guan Guiling almost fell down. She collapsed on the ground, still in shock.
This little episode made everyone quiet down, and soon, the discussion started again, and this time it was even louder. However, Guan Guiling didn't care what others said, but hugged Zheng Yufeng with red eyes and said, "Yufeng, I know you treat me the best!"
If it wasn't for her man, she would be in trouble. Thinking of this, she looked at her man with even more admiration. There would never be such a good man in the world. How could she, Guan Guiling, find a man like Zheng Yufeng?
She is truly blessed by this karma.
Guan Guiling hugged Zheng Yufeng's neck tightly, and Zheng Yufeng was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe.
But he didn't get angry. Instead, he patted Guan Guiling on the back and said, "Don't be like this. Let go. It will be embarrassing if someone sees you. Besides, you are my wife. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"
Just two short sentences moved Guan Guiling to tears.
Zheng Yufeng felt embarrassed, but still said, "Okay."
Guan Guiling sobbed softly.
He looked at the fifty-cent coin that had been completely soaked and sunk, and felt extremely embarrassed.
It was only fifty cents, but it was really embarrassing. He didn't want to stay and be stared at. Although Guan Guiling had shamelessly tried to scam people many times, he was not at the scene after all, and it was not as embarrassing as this time.
Just fifty cents!
He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back and come back to see Huimin in two days."
"But..."
Guan Guiling asked worriedly. The time Fan Debiao gave her was the last day. If she didn't find Huimin today, she might get into trouble. She said worriedly, "Fan Debiao..."
Zheng Yufeng: "I'll take care of it."
He was very determined and said, "I'll talk to him."
If Huimin can be found, it will be better, and Fan Debiao can be more stable. But if he can't find her, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he just needs to find a way to survive these few days and then take the money and leave. What will happen here? What does it have to do with him? He's gone anyway.
Zheng Yufeng said firmly: "Let's go back."
Guan Guiling: "Okay."
The couple left under everyone's gaze. Guan Guiling had long been accustomed to other people's gazes, but even though she was accustomed to other people's gazes, she still felt that today was a bit too embarrassing. After all, this matter was really too embarrassing.
She followed Zheng Yufeng and left.
Everyone watched the couple leave. Tuantuan seemed to have thought of something and ran out quickly. Everyone looked at him in surprise. The little boy ran to the pit behind the toilet, looked in, vomited, and ran back: "Mom, I didn't see it wrong, it's really fifty cents."
People around: "..."
Mingmei said inexplicably: "Then your eyesight is quite good."
Tuan Tuan: "Of course."
Since Guan Guiling and her husband had left, Mingmei was not in a hurry to send the children back. She simply ignored the children and chatted with Jiang Lu and Li Fang who were also out, talking about the gossip about digging a manure pit for fifty cents and almost falling into it.
"What do you think Guan Guiling is thinking?" Li Fang was most puzzled. Is it really that serious?
Jiang Lu understood Guan Guiling's thoughts a little bit. After all, she was also a love-brained person. But she was still shocked to see someone like Guan Guiling give up on herself. She said, "This Zheng Yufeng is really good at coaxing women."
"Guan Guiling looks old, while Zheng Yufeng looks young. They really look like mother and son."
Everyone started gossiping.
Even Bai Fendou didn't care about making money, and he and Zhou Qun and Daqiang from the next yard gathered together to chat. However, no matter how many small groups everyone gathered to chat, they basically agreed on one thing: Zheng Huimin was really lucky.
If she happened to come back at this time, it would be a very bad ending.
But not only was she not there, she wasn't even at home. What a lucky person.
The children didn't understand so much, but they were shocked. The children in their compound were young, but they were more knowledgeable than many adults.
They have seen so much.
Guan Hong was delighted: "Zheng Huimin's parents are such people, the Su family will definitely not be happy to marry into their family, my chances are even greater."
However, no one greeted her with such words. Everyone looked at Guan Hong and shook their heads.
How stupid must one be to want to marry Su Jinlai.
Anyway, no matter how poor the family is on this street, they would not consider marrying their daughter to Su Jinlai.
As for silver and bronze, that's fine.
After all, one is hardworking and knows how to make money, and the other is smart and motivated and knows how to learn knowledge. However, despite this, no one wants to marry into the Su family. Even if silver and copper are good, there is still Su Jin who is out of tune.
Only a love-minded girl who only looks at appearance would fall in love with someone like Su Jinlai.
It's really sad to have a daughter like this in this family.
Guan Hong didn't know what everyone was thinking. Seeing that no one agreed with her, she thought everyone thought she was right, and her mood became better. When everyone dispersed and went home, she was still humming a little tune.
Guan Hong stayed at home for a while, she had nothing to do, and thought about how Zheng Huimin had been coming home late recently. She hesitated for a moment, and went out with a flashlight and a dagger. She didn't want to pick up Zheng Huimin, she couldn't wait to tell her that Zheng Huimin's parents had come.
Hehe, you can see Jung Hye Min's bad expression at that time.
Guan Hong felt happier when she thought about it, and she quickly went out.
It was already dark, and everyone had already eaten. The Zhuang family was noisy. She knew that there were several children living in the Zhuang family recently. All these kids were gathered there. Even Li Zhenzhen and Qi Jin would not go home until they went to bed. They were about to make trouble for the Zhuang family.
At this time, she felt that Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei were really good-tempered. They just let these little brats make trouble in their home. If it were her, she would have been annoyed a long time ago. She shook her head at the Zhuang family, then went out and headed straight for the garment factory.
The clothing factory was not too close, so Guan Hong was actually a little scared to go out at night. Fortunately, she had a dagger to block some attacks. Sometimes carrying a knife is not for any reason, but just to give you more courage.
She came all the way to the garment factory, which had a lot of orders and was doing good business.
It was not time to get off work, so she sat at the door and waited for a long time before she saw the crowds of people leaving get off work. Although working overtime was tiring, few people looked anxious, and many of them were smiling. It was understandable that who would dislike making money?
There is overtime pay for overtime work.
She saw Jung Hye Min from a distance and waved, “Jung Hye Min.”
Everyone else was in groups of three or four, but Zheng Huimin was alone. She walked out alone. She was a substitute. On her first day, everyone was very curious and asked about her relationship with Yinlai and why she was the substitute. When they heard that she was the girlfriend of Su Yinlai's elder brother Jinlai, they were shocked.
Who doesn’t know who Su Jinlai is?
If she were Su Yinlai's girlfriend, everyone would be more enthusiastic about her, after all, Yinlai is very popular in the factory.
But who doesn’t know who that big brother Yinlai is?
Yinlai had never said anything bad about his elder brother, but Jinlai had been to juvenile detention center twice at a young age, and had even gotten into trouble in the countryside, requiring his mother Wang Xiangxiu to bring money to clean up the mess. These stories were more or less circulated.
The sister-in-law at the factory couldn't bear to see Zheng Huimin being cheated, so she had to talk to her about it.
But Jung Hye-min did not thank everyone, but insisted that "a prodigal son who returns is more valuable than gold."
This is what she thought and said, so no one paid any attention to her.
Everyone thought that this girl was not very clear-headed, so naturally they were unwilling to walk with her.
Guan Hong didn't know about these situations. Seeing Zheng Huimin alone, she was a little unhappy, although she didn't like Zheng Huimin very much. But what's wrong with these people? They didn't even go with her at night.
It is actually very dangerous for a girl to walk alone.
She felt a little scared when she came here just now. Isn't it scary for Zheng Huimin to walk back home by herself after get off work every day? Guan Hong frowned. Zheng Huimin also came to her side at this time. She asked curiously: "Why are you here?"
Guan Hong raised her chin proudly and said, "Do I need to report to you whether I am coming or not? But you are so energetic in fighting with me, playing tricks, and snatching men, but you are excluded when you go to work. You are really promising!"
Zheng Huimin was a little embarrassed. It was always unhappy to be exposed that she was not welcomed. However, she argued, "It's not that I was excluded by others, but I excluded all of them."
How could she admit defeat in front of her love rival? Guan Hong sneered when she heard this.
Zheng Huimin said unhappily: "What are you doing here? This place has nothing to do with you, right? Did you come here just to see me?"
After a pause, she said, "Yes, why did you come to see me specifically?"
Guan Hong: "Your parents came to the compound to look for you."
"What!" Zheng Huimin was shocked. If it was before, it didn't matter whether she was found or not, but recently, it was no longer the case. Ever since she knew about her parents' evil intentions, she didn't dare to trust her family.
Now that my younger sister has escaped, she will be doomed if she is caught.
She quickly asked, "Why are they here? Are they still blocking me in the compound? Are they alone or are there others? Is there someone named Fan Debiao? What are my parents' expressions?"
At this moment, I can't care about whether I have a love rival or not. I have to find out about this matter quickly.
She asked hurriedly and anxiously. She would never marry casually.
Although Guan Hong looked down on Zheng Huimin, she didn't make a fuss about this matter. She said directly: "There was no one else, only your parents. Your mother got lost before she entered the compound, and your father took her away. I don't know if they will come back."
Jung Hye Min became nervous: "What if they are hiding in the dark waiting for me?"
She became more and more frightened and hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Zheng Huimin: "You go back first. I'll find a place to stay nearby so they won't be waiting for us."
Guan Hong's eyes widened: "How can you be as stupid as an idiot! Although it is not winter now, it is very uncomfortable to stay outside all night. Are you sick? Are you so scared? Are you still a lesbian of the new era?"
Zheng Huimin: "Then what do you say we should do?"
Guan Hong: "If I were you, I wouldn't be afraid! If they dare to do anything wrong, I will make trouble!"
Zheng Huimin: "You don't know my mother, my mother... forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."
Guan Hong: "Why don't I understand? I saw clearly today what kind of person your mother is. She... Hey, I just thought of it. Why don't you go home? Don't glare at me. Think about it, if you go home and confirm that they are all at home, doesn't it mean that they are not blocking you in the apricot blossoms? Then you can go home and sleep. Look at the weather outside, you will be doomed if you stay outside."
Jung Hye Min: “Hey, that makes sense.”
Neither of them had any ulterior motives, and this simple and crude method actually won the unanimous approval of the two people. Zheng Huimin immediately said, "I'll go right away."
"Wait a moment."
Zheng Huimin turned around: "What's the matter?"
Guan Hong snorted and said shyly, "I'll go with you."
She looked at Zheng Huimin who was surprised and said quickly: "Don't think I am helping you. Although I regard you as a love rival, I am upright and will not do those dirty things."
She added: "I can't stand such arranged families either."
Zheng Huimin's eyes flickered, and she uttered "oh" softly, "Then..."
She was a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you."
Guan Hong: "Are you going to leave or not?"
"Walk!"
"Isn't it unsafe for the two of us girls to be together?"
"I brought a knife."
“You are so smart.”
"Of course."
The two of them walked towards Zheng Huimin's home together. Guan Hong was actually quite curious. She really didn't understand what the situation was in Zheng Huimin's family. They clearly had a worker, so why would they sell their daughter?
Well, Wang Xiangxiu, a woman with three sons, didn’t she raise all the children?
Their parents are both alive, yet they still want to sell their daughter?
"Isn't your brother already an adult?"
"He is a boy."
"Bah, disgusting preference for boys over girls."
Zheng Huimin couldn't help but said, "You haven't lived here for a few days, how come you have learned the catchphrases of the aunties in the courtyard?"
Guan Hong: “No.”
Uh...she never used to start her sentences with "Pah".
However, it cannot be admitted.
The two walked all the way to Zheng Huimin's house. It took almost fifty minutes to walk from the garment factory. Both of them were a little tired. Zheng Huimin said, "I'll walk home."
"I'll go with you."
Zheng Huimin looked at Guan Hong, took a long breath, and said more solemnly: "Thank you."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm just worried that something might happen to you. Let's be companions. I'm the messenger of justice."
"Walk."
The two quietly opened the door, and Zheng Huimin said, "The gate of our compound is always ajar."
The two men were about to walk in when their gazes suddenly stopped because the door opposite them opened and Mrs. Chen came out to use the toilet. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the two sneaky people. She almost screamed out, but at the critical moment, she recognized Zheng Huimin and immediately covered her mouth.
Although the eldest daughter of the Zheng family didn't look very good, she knew what kind of life she had in the Zheng family. Thinking of the little girl running away, she was silent for a few seconds, and turned back into the house as if she didn't see anyone.
Zheng Huimin was stunned, but soon she ran to the window and heard the voices of his parents.
They are at home!
She could go home and sleep peacefully. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the voice of her father Zheng Yufeng. Zheng Yufeng said, "Gui Ling, I've thought about it. We can't afford to offend Fan Debiao. We still have to return the money to him."
Guan Guiling was anxious: "Where can we get so much money? We..."
Zheng Yufeng: "Listen to me, I've thought about it. Go find a few street thugs and mortgage your house to them to get some money first. If one house is not enough, mortgage two houses. In short, mortgage a little more money just in case. Once we have the money, we can think about returning it to Fan Debiao and shut him up."
Guan Guiling: "That's fine, but if we can't pay the money back, the house will be taken away and we will have no place to live. What should we do?"
Zheng Yufeng said earnestly, "Why do you have to worry about this? We are just trying to temporarily ease Fan Debiao's dissatisfaction. Once we have him stable, we will hurry up and work on Huimin. She will agree to marry Fan Debiao, and we will let her bring Huifang over to serve her. Then the matter will be settled, right? When the time comes, Fan Debiao will become our son-in-law, and we can ask him to pay back the money. Then we can redeem our house, right? You see, although it is a bit busy, it does not delay anything at all."
Guan Guiling: "That's true. Anyway, I wanted to marry off my two daughters."
When Zheng Huimin heard this, she clenched her fists.
Guan Hong quickly covered Zheng Huimin's mouth, fearing that she would make a sound.
Two people squatted under the window and eavesdropped. Guan Hong pulled Zheng Huimin, and the two were about to leave when they suddenly saw an old lady coming out. Aunt Li was also frightened, but like the previous one, she just hesitated for a short time and turned around to go home, pretending that she did not see the two female comrades.
Guan Hong really didn't dare to stay any longer, so she dragged Zheng Huimin out and the two of them ran very far away very quickly.
The two men ran to a deserted place and then stopped to catch their breath.
Guan Hong: "The people in your compound are pretty nice. They didn't even expose you."
Zheng Huimin didn't expect it either. She rubbed her eyes and said, "I didn't expect it either."
They didn't know that when they saw Zheng Huimin's two families, they were sighing and saying, "What is this stupid girl doing back here? She should just leave immediately. If she comes back and is forced to marry Fan Debiao, her life will be ruined."
Although Guan Guiling hid it, her contact with Fan Debiao was not unseen. Before Fan Debiao became rich, two wives ran away from him. It was not because they did not want to live a good life with him, but because this man would beat people to death after drinking.
His two previous daughters-in-law ran away because of this.
If I don't leave, I won't be able to survive.
They didn't believe that Zheng Yufeng and Guan Guiling didn't know about this. They had been neighbors for 20 years, so who wouldn't know? Even so, she still arranged for her daughter to marry Fan Debiao, which showed how cruel she was.
It is for this reason that even though they do not like the eldest daughter of the Zheng family very much, they do not want her to come back.
A girl as young as a flower bud would be doomed if she married a man like this.
So even if they saw someone, they pretended not to see it. However, Zheng Huimin was particularly quiet on her way back.
She whispered: "Why are they all helping me?"
Guan Hong looked at her in confusion and said, "Shouldn't everyone with a conscience do this?"
Zheng Huimin took a deep breath and said nothing, but her pace quickened. She said, "If my parents come looking for me again in a few days, I will run! I will definitely not go back. Even my neighbors can help me, so why shouldn't I save myself?"
Guan Hong: “That’s right.”
She hesitated for a moment and said, "How about you ask Brother Su? He hangs out on the streets and knows a lot of people. He can definitely help you deal with your family."
Then she said seriously, "He helped you, you can't repay him with your body, we have to compete fairly."
Zheng Huimin: "Fair competition is fair competition. I am no worse than you. Men like gentle and considerate women who can serve others. Even if there is no such thing, I will not lose."
"Bullshit, men in the new era all like people like me who are self-reliant and can make money. Look, Li Weiwei likes me too. How could Brother Su not like me?"
"You are talking nonsense. Li Weiwei doesn't like you at all. He looks at you with disgust."
Guan Hong pouted awkwardly, then said, "He is the love I seek but cannot obtain."
"hehe."
"Don't laugh, you are a dodder. Sooner or later, a man will burn you to death."
“You are…”
The two people started arguing, neither of them showed weakness, but they walked more and more firmly, saying harsh words, but their tone became better and better... The two people went home mumblingly, and it was already early in the morning when they returned to the compound. They were both a little tired, but they were not that scared when they were together.
The two returned to the compound and found that the door had been locked. The guards in the compound were much more alert, and the two knocked on the door resignedly. After knocking for a long time, someone came to open the door. It turned out to be Zhuang Zhixi.
Zhuang Zhixi said with sleepy eyes, "Are you guys going out to steal?"
Although he said that, he opened the door and turned to leave.
The two of them hurried into the door, and Zheng Huimin closed it behind them. She said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhuang."
This was following Brother Su's call. Zhuang Zhixi didn't turn around, but just raised his hand and shook it to indicate that it was okay. He yawned and went home. Before he entered the door, he saw Mingmei coming out. Mingmei was wearing a coat and said, "It's getting late, go home and sleep."
Zhuang Zhixi, who was listless just now, said at this time: "Why did you come out too?"
Mingmei: "Go to the bathroom."
"I'll go with you."
The couple went out together. Jung Hye-min said: "One day, Brother Su and I will be as loving as them."
Guan Hong: "It's me and Brother Su."
Mingmei smiled and said, "Then your taste is really not very good."
Everyone in their compound made no secret of their dislike for Jin Lai, but Guan Hong and Zheng Huimin remained firm: "Brother Su is the best man, I won't allow you to say that about him!"
Mingmei begged for mercy and ran to the bathroom with a smile.
Zheng Huimin tightened her lips and said, "My mother doesn't like Mingmei very much. She always speaks ill of Mingmei at home."
Guan Hong: “Why?”
Then he added: "Then Mingmei must be a good person."
Zheng Huimin: “???”
Guan Hong: "Your mother is a bad person. Anyone she doesn't like must be a good person."
She added: "Zhao Guihua is not a good person. It is said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies. Mingmei is her daughter-in-law, so from this perspective, Mingmei is a very good person."
Zheng Huimin: “????”
At this time, she felt that she was smarter than Guan Hong.
Zhao Guihua and Mingmei, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, obviously have a very good relationship, so how can they be considered in opposition? She tutted her tongue, but she was really sleepy and had to go to work tomorrow, but she didn't say anything more about going home to sleep.
I was so exhausted that I fell asleep immediately.
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei walked back from the bathroom together. Mingmei said, "I wonder where mom and the others are? I guess they'll be back soon, right?"
"It will probably be soon. My mom and her friends are not the kind to dawdle."
Zhuang Zhixi was sober after being blown by the cold wind. He said, "The old lady is so old, but she can still jump quite high."
Mingmei: "Please stop talking. You think your mother-in-law doesn't want to punish you anymore, right?"
Zhuang Zhixi shrugged and said, "How could I dare to say it to her face? My mother is so fierce."
Probably because they came out of the toilet, Zhuang Zhixi said: "I don't know if Guan Guiling will be able to come again in the future."
Mingmei: "Can you? If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time."
She has already completed the work procedures in the past two days, and will report to the Public Security University in two days. However, she said: "I heard something when I was going through the procedures."
"What?"
"I heard that Guan Guiling is looking for someone to sell a job again."
Zhuang Zhixi: “What?”
Mingmei: "This is true. She asked for a high price and was in a hurry to sell it."
Zhuang Zhixi: "What will she do if she sells her job? She is about to retire. Isn't it asking for trouble if she sells her job now?"
Zhuang Zhixi couldn't understand this. Guan Guiling was in her early 40s and could retire at 50. If she worked hard for a few years, she would have a pension. Moreover, she was in poor health. Regular workers could get some reimbursement for hospital visits. Why was she selling her job now? How was that different from killing the goose that lays the golden eggs? Zhuang Zhixi: "I always feel like something is wrong."
Mingmei: "I also think it's wrong, but this matter has nothing to do with us."
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's what she said, but this woman is not a good person either. She once tried to plot against you. Who knows what she is up to? If she is doing it at home, then it has nothing to do with us. But she is going to cause trouble in our compound, so I'd better find out more. Don't say she is looking for my daughter but is actually blackmailing you. I remember her ill will towards you."
Mingmei: "I'll listen to you."
There is always a kind of malice in this world that comes inexplicably. You don't even know why, but you attract malicious looks.
Zhuang Zhixi said: "Oh, you know what, when the old lady is not at home, I feel uneasy. When the old lady is around, I feel much more at ease. Our old lady is my support."
Mingmei burst out laughing and said, "Wait another two or three days, she should be back soon. I miss mom too. It was so lively when mom was in the compound."
"That's right."
Both of them were talking about Zhao Guihua, who was sleeping soundly at this time. Some people have poor sleep quality and sleep lightly when they are out and about. But Zhao Guihua was not like that. She had a good sleep quality. She had been walking around in the carriage for most of the day and was really tired at night.
She slept very soundly, and slept until dawn. Although their sleep quality was not bad at their age, they did not sleep much, so they woke up early in the morning. Zhao Guihua took out her notebook. She did not go to school, but because she attended literacy classes and asked about unfamiliar words in her later life, Zhao Guihua was not illiterate. She knew a lot of words, and it was a little difficult for her to write, but she could recognize words well.
She was looking at the book, and Aunt Wang asked, "What are you looking at?"
Zhao Guihua: "I asked He Lan to help me remember the characteristics of group gambling yesterday. I will try to see if there is anything missing. If so, I will add it."
Aunt Wang: "You are really energetic."
But she was also curious: "How do you know that those few people who joined at the beginning were all shills?"
Zhao Guihua: "What else is there to say? Who wouldn't be careful when going out? As soon as someone invites you to play poker, you rush over. It doesn't seem right no matter how you think about it. Anyway, I described the details of the incident. It would be better if it wasn't, but I tend to think it is."
"So you're saying that girl is the accomplice?"
Zhao Guihua: "She was so obvious instigating the scene, she must be an accomplice. There were also a few people who instigated others to place bets. Their purpose was quite obvious. Besides them, there was also the uncle in the Mao suit who questioned them. This man is also unreliable."
"Ah, isn't this a good guy? He questioned whether these people were gambling."
Zhao Guihua: "That's true, but are his doubts useful? You see, he immediately backed off after questioning, and waited for the group to answer. This is clearly a pre-planned decision. If he didn't question, someone else might have. He raised it first, and then his accomplices explained it, and then others would think, oh, this is also right. It is indeed a bit too much to say that gathering for gambling. Then other people who want to question may not speak. It seems that he is the one who raised the question, but he suppressed some of their questions."
Zhao Guihua knew everything about this matter.
"What Yinlai saw can explain a lot. Besides, when we passed by, wasn't he also watching the fun in the crowd? Others watched the fun by watching people playing cards, but he watched the people around him. It's obvious that he was a spy, but he was just wearing the guise of a good person."
"You observe very carefully."
"That's right. Who am I? I'm Zhao Guihua. If I don't expose them now, we are outnumbered and can't defeat them. I will find the police after I get off the bus."
"I think so."
A new day began and the gambling in the carriage continued. Zhao Guihua went over to take a look again and saw someone looking dirty and dusty, presumably having lost a lot of money. She was shocked but did not continue watching.
She came to watch the fun yesterday but didn't place any bets. If she stayed here all day today, she would definitely attract attention.
This is also thanks to the fact that Zhao Guihua is an old lady. If he was a young man, he would have been targeted at this time. There are many people inside and outside the gambling game, and they are very cautious.
They traveled for nearly two more days and finally arrived at Sijiu City in the afternoon.
Although they were carrying a lot of bags, everyone was full of joy. After all, the journey was exhausting. This is what it's like to travel long distances by car. You don't do anything but sit in the car, but you are still exhausted.
They unloaded all their belongings from the car and several of them hired two tricycles to go home.
"It's better to go home. Now that I'm home, I feel like my feet are firmly on the ground."
"I told you to say that. It's obviously because you got off the train..."
Everyone went home on a tricycle. He Lan sat on the tricycle and said, "Fendou usually pulls a tricycle after get off work. This job is really hard."
She is the passenger now, but when she thinks of Bai Fendou who is doing the same thing, she feels very distressed.
"You should buy him some more meat to supplement his diet."
Wang Zizhen: "I have experience with this. When doing physical work, the most important thing is to nourish yourself. No matter what, you have to eat well."
"good."
The car drove all the way back to the courtyard. As soon as they stepped into the yard, they saw Zheng Huimin dragging Su Jin here.
Beside Zheng Huimin was Guan Hong, who stared at Su Jinlai fiercely, completely lacking her usual warmth.
Aunt Zhao and her group stopped in their tracks and looked at the three of them in confusion.
What's going on? Several people looked over.
When Su Jinlai saw that there were so many people around, he wanted to leave immediately. Guan Hong quickly grabbed Su Jinlai and said, "Don't leave. What's wrong with you? Zheng Huimin is in such a difficult situation now. As a man, can't you help her?"
Guan Hong is more successful than Zheng Huimin.
However, Su Jinlai pursed his lips and said, "This is her family affair. What's the point of me stepping in?"
This morning, Zheng Huimin and Guan Hong came to see him. Actually, this was not something that happened today, but two days ago. Zheng Huimin's parents came to see him. Therefore, Zheng Huimin was very scared.
She didn't want to go home at all. She wanted to ask Jin to help her parents get rid of them, but she was afraid that Jin would look down on her. After hesitating for two days, she finally came today. Today was Sunday, and many people in the yard were not there.
Sundays are busier than usual.
Even Wang Xiangxiu went to the mountains in the suburbs with Aunt Sui from the backyard.
After thinking it over, Zheng Huimin came to find Su Jin. She hoped that Su Jin could help her. After all, after her parents had settled the matter with the house, they would definitely plot against her. She heard everything that happened that night clearly.
After her parents dealt with Fan Debiao, they still wanted to marry her off, so she had no choice but to ask Su Jinlai for help. She never expected that Su Jinlai would reject her.
She had thought of many situations, but not this one.
Even Guan Hong couldn't stand it anymore.
However, Su Jinlai was firm: "I have helped you enough. The house you live in now is rented by me. You are not my relatives. I have done my best. Now you have to help Zheng Huimin? Why are you so troublesome?"
He didn't want to get involved in these things. Although he talked about being a gangster all day long, Su Jinlai really had no ability. Even the black brother theft gang that he had some dealings with in the past had been arrested. How could he help when he was alone?
He said, "Besides, your parents insist on letting you get married. What's the point of me standing up for you? You are not my wife."
Zheng Huimin blushed and said, "Brother Su, you know my heart..."
Su Jinlai felt a little proud. He knew that there were many women who liked him. But he still said, "You have such a heart, but I don't want to get married. I'm still young and I have a lot of fun for a few more years."
He couldn't stand up for Zheng Huimin.
There's no money to be made, so he won't get involved.
It must be said that Su Jinlai's words really disappointed Zheng Huimin and Guan Hong. In their hearts, Su Jinlai was very brave. But now he is backing down?
Zheng Huimin felt even more bitter. She first fell in love with Brother Su because he defended her in front of his mother. He was so brave at that time. But why is he unwilling to help her now? Does he not love her anymore?
This is what Zheng Huimin was thinking, but Su Jinlai actually didn't dare to cause trouble.
It's okay to brag about being awesome, but you're really not that awesome.
He could stand up for Zheng Huimin before because Zheng Huimin only had a sickly mother around her, but if there was someone else, he would have to think about it. He would get nothing and he didn't want to do that.
Although Su Jinlai doesn't have much brains, he only cares about himself.
He said firmly: "Don't come to me for these matters."
Zheng Huimin looked at Su Jinlai in disbelief. Su Jinlai said, "If you were my wife, I would take care of this matter. But you are not my wife, so it is not appropriate for me to take care of your family affairs."
Zheng Huimin stared at Su Jinlai blankly.
She was in love and wanted to have someone to lean on. When she found out that this person was unreliable, she was completely dumbfounded. Brother Su was such a good person, how could he change in such a short time?
She is stupid and dumb.
Guan Hong, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any more. She said, "Her parents are not good people. Even if she's not his wife, we're all friends. You have such a high status, why don't you find a few people to teach them a lesson so that they don't dare to harass Zheng Huimin?"
She thought for a moment and said, "You don't help her because you don't want me to misunderstand your relationship? Don't worry, I don't mind this matter. My man is loyal and manly, I'm so happy. I won't be jealous." Su Jinlai: "..."
This woman thinks too much.
If Su Jin had to choose, he would choose Zheng Huimin instead of Guan Hong. It is not okay for a woman to not be gentle at all.
He said: "This is not a matter of jealousy or not."
He didn't want to continue to argue, so when he saw Yinlai and the others coming back, he quickly asked him, "Yinlai, when will you pay me back?"
Yin Lai: "We agreed on a month."
Jin Lai cursed, "Tong Lai, you little bastard. I'm the eldest brother, but you didn't stand with me and even helped you borrow money. I've never seen such an unreliable brother. Do you know how hard it is for me to make money?"
His behavior made Zheng Huimin even more desperate.
The man she wants doesn't have to be very good-looking, but he must be capable, able to protect her, and be a hero.
But, but Su Jinlai...
The pink bubbles that were originally there suddenly burst and scattered.
Zheng Huimin looked at Jin Lai and felt that her love was fading away. Just when Zheng Huimin was hesitating, there was a sound of bicycle. The Li brothers came back, Li Junjun and Li Weiwei came back from outside together.
Both of them were extremely happy: "Grandma, you're back?"
They came forward and surrounded Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang was also happy. Speaking of which, she had never been separated from the two brothers for such a long time. Aunt Wang asked: "Are you all right at home?"
Li Junjun: “Very good.”
"Where's your mother?"
Li Junjun: "My mom went with Aunt Mingmei and Aunt Jiang to climb the Great Wall with the kids. Well, I heard the school asked them to write an essay. The kids insisted on climbing the Great Wall, so they went there in a group early in the morning. They haven't come back yet? That's a long time."
He put his arm around the old lady's shoulders and said, "Grandma, you must be exhausted from the journey, right?"
"That's fine. I'm tired, but I'm energetic."
Li Junjun started to greet Aunt Wang, while Li Weiwei looked at everyone curiously and asked, "What happened?"
His eyes focused on the love-hate trio.
He was no longer angry with Guan Hong or Su Jinlai.
After all, if you are angry with a normal person, how can you be angry with a fool? So he was not angry.
"you……"
Before he could finish, there was another noise. Zhao Guihua and the others turned around and asked, "Are the children back?"
But as soon as I saw the person, I knew it was not the case at all.
Zhao Guihua didn't recognize the person who came. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He brought five or six men with him, all of whom looked ferocious.
Zhao Guihua frowned. Where the hell did this come from?
Zhao Guihua and the others didn’t know these two people, and even Su Jinlai and the others didn’t know them.
But Zheng Huimin's face changed. No one else knew this person, but she knew him. This was Fan Debiao. They lived in the same alley, and he often interacted with her father Zheng Yufeng. Of course Zheng Huimin knew him.
Her face turned pale instantly and she hid behind Su Jinlai.
Fan De Biao looked at Zheng Huimin like this and shouted, "You little white face, you hooked up with my wife, do you really think that I, Fan De Biao, am dead? I must teach you a lesson today!"
Although Zheng Huimin hid behind Su Jinlai, she also spoke up: "Stop talking nonsense. I'm not your wife at all. Brother Su and I are in love with each other. It has nothing to do with you at all."
Guan Hong: "That's right. Now is a new society. We don't follow the old arranged marriage system. Don't come here to cause trouble."
"Who are you? What do you have to do here? Could it be that you are attracted to me, to me? I'm telling you, I don't like people like you. Zheng Huimin, your parents, your parents, your parents have accepted the betrothal gift. You want to regret it, no way."
He shouted: "Come back with me!"
He knew that Zheng Huimin was a restless person, and it turned out to be true. If Zheng Yufeng hadn't let it slip, he wouldn't have known that this bitch was hiding here. If he didn't catch her this time, what face would Fan Debiao have left?
He pointed at Su Jin and said, "You little white face, you seduced me, this time I will teach you a lesson."
Fan Debiao had a strong build and a face full of flesh. Although he was not tall, he had a fierce look on his face. It was chilling. Su Jinlai was really scared by his fierceness. He had seen such people in the juvenile detention center, and he would never dare to offend them.
He immediately moved out of the way, catching Zheng Huimin off guard.
Actually, it was impossible to hide, but Zheng Huimin hid behind Su Jinlai, which was somewhat psychologically comforting. However, Su Jinlai suddenly dodged, and he forced a smile and said quickly: "I can't take the blame for this. Zheng Huimin and I have nothing to do with each other. I helped her simply because I felt sorry for her, but in fact, we have nothing to do with each other. I am not her partner, I just have pure kindness. This matter has nothing to do with me, and you can't find me if you want to cause trouble. I have nothing to do with this."
Fearing a beating, he immediately pulled Guan Hong over and said, "This is Guan Hong, she's my girlfriend."
Guan Hong was pleasantly surprised, but she pushed Su Jinlai away in disgust in just one second. Although it was good to be recognized by Su Jinlai, at this moment, he was not manly at all, and Guan Hong could not stand it.
How could her man be like this?
She likes boys with a strong sense of chivalry, but she doesn't like wimps.
Fan Debiao: "I don't care what's going on with you. You are Su Jinlai, right? I heard that Zheng Huimin ran away with you. Zheng Huimin, your vision is not that good, right?"
Zheng Huimin didn't expect Su Jinlai to be so useless that he actually pushed her away to protect himself at such a time. She burst into tears instantly.
Fan Debiao came forward cursing, "Bitch, come back with me!"
A slap was about to hit Zheng Huimin's face, but just when it was about to hit Zheng Huimin, Li Junjun grabbed Fan Debiao's hand and threw it back. He was a station maintenance worker, and he was not comparable to Fan Debiao, who was so fat and bloated.
Fan Debiao's body was full of fat, and Li Junjun pushed Fan Debiao away and said, "Who gave you the face to come to our compound and bully others?"
He turned around and said, "Zheng Huimin, go back to the house!"
Zheng Huimin stared at Li Junjun blankly. Li Junjun rolled up his sleeves and said, "You came here to cause trouble. You are really a bully. How come you think there is no one in our compound?"
Fan Debiao suffered a loss and was furious: "You bastard, it turns out you are an adulterer!"
"Can you not be so disgusting? Adulterer? What adulterer? Zheng Huimin is single, how can she be your private property? Take out your marriage certificate and show it to me. You call her an adulterer, how can you have the nerve to call her that! What do you mean by dowry? Believe it or not, I will sue you at the Women's Federation! This is a new era, who dares to arrange a marriage? Are you going to ignore the detection of the country? Who the hell is going to marry whoever accepts your dowry! If you are so willing to talk about dowry, go marry Guan Guiling!"
Zhao Guihua also reacted at this time, it was really rude.
"puff!"
Her words made the younger brothers following Fan Debiao burst out laughing. Everyone knows Guan Guiling.
Zhao Guihua continued to be rude: "You call every man an adulterer when you see him. Do you think everyone is as disgusting as you are? There is fairness and justice in this world. Not everyone is as dirty as you think!"
"You, you, you old bastard, I'm going to kill you..."
Fan Debiao was so angry that his mouth was twisted and he could not even stutter. He cursed: "You old woman, I will kill you. I will not forgive you..."
He clenched his fist and ran towards Zhao Guihua. Before he could get close, Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes in disdain. He kicked her directly at her vitals! Haha, did he really think that Zhao Guihua was someone who was easy to mess with?
She has learned from Bai Fendou that when fighting with men, there is no need to talk too much, just go for the vital points directly, which is a one-step victory for the enemy.
Fan Debiao covered himself and squatted down. Sweat dripped down his face: "Wuwuwu..."
But soon, he looked up and shouted, "Brothers, take care of them for me. Beat them up. If you hurt them, I'll pay you! Go!"
Several people followed Fan Debiao. When they heard this, they hesitated for a moment and then rushed over decisively. The scene immediately became a mess. Fortunately, the yard was open and did not hinder everyone from fighting.
Aunt Zhou yelled and rushed forward. To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. She is also an experienced old woman, how could she not understand?
She scratched Fan Debiao's face directly, and there were several bloody streaks on his face.
"You dare to come to our compound and act arrogantly? Watch me!"
"Oh, I won't forgive you!"
The scene was in chaos, and someone came to pull Zhao Guihua, who staggered. She was immediately blocked by Yin Lai, who rushed forward and said, "Aunt Zhao, please step back, I'll do it!"
At times like this, everyone is very rude.
A man came up and beat Su Jinlai. Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Su Jinlai pushed Guan Hong who was beside him over. Guan Hong was defenseless: "Ah~"
At the critical moment, Li Junjun grabbed Guan Hong and kicked her.
Although the old ladies in the yard were all good at fighting, they were no match for the men who came. They did have the upper hand, but they didn't end up well either. They were scratched one by one, and some were even kicked in the vitals.
Old ladies fight, that's no ambiguity! However, several boys, Li Junjun, Li Weiwei and Yin Lai were injured to some extent because they were protecting the female comrades.
When Mingmei and her group came back, they saw this situation. She walked in front and heard a lot of noise in the yard before she reached the door. It seemed that someone was fighting. Mingmei quickly said, "You take the children with you. I'll go and take a look."
She ran a few quick steps and ran to the door, just in time to see Fan Debiao holding a wooden stick and about to hit Zhao Guihua. Without thinking, she ran over. Mingmei grabbed the wooden stick directly, turned around, and took it away. She didn't use it to hit him, but handed it directly to Zhao Guihua, but she kicked him away.
The way she kicked people was different from the way Li Junjun kicked people. Fan Debiao almost flew into the air and fell heavily on the steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Beat her, beat this bitch!"
"You stinky woman, we brothers must teach you a lesson!"
"You dare to attack Brother Biao? Look at me...ah!"
Mingmei didn't listen to what these people were saying, she just started to fight. Only those who were incompetent would talk harshly. Mingmei didn't care about that at all. After a while, she beat all the people down one by one.
This time there is no need for anyone else to take action.
Everyone quietly stepped aside. Although Mingmei didn't make many moves, it was clear that her energy was different from theirs.
Sure enough, within a few moves, five or six old men fell to the ground like rag dolls, unable to get up, unable to even resist!
Several troublemakers were piled up one on top of the other in the yard, with Fan Debiao at the bottom.
Fan Debiao felt like he was about to be crushed to death.
Mingmei clapped her hands and said, "I really gave you face. You dare to come to our yard to cause trouble. Don't you want to find out whether we are easy to mess with?"
"that is!"
"Beat them!"
"superior!"
Everyone was no longer afraid at this time, and rushed forward, bang bang bang!
Oh, actually, they were not afraid at first. They had seen everything in their compound. The ones who were really afraid were probably the youngsters. Anyone with a little experience would know how awesome the people in their compound were.
Zheng Huimin was not polite either: "I will not marry a piece of trash like you. You are old like my father and still want to eat young grass. You are shameless! If you pester me again, I will sue you!"
Others were not polite either: "How dare you come and cause trouble without even asking about the reputation of our No. 44 Courtyard..."
A group of children standing at the door and watching the whole process: "..."
Wow!
