Lan Sihai led Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei to Donglaishun again.
The old man didn't give his meat coupons to the butcher shop, but to Donglaishun.
At this time, Zhuang Zhixi had a better understanding of what Mingmei meant by "very particular about food and drink". It was indeed very particular. The three of them also ordered a bottle of Xifeng wine, each holding a small half cup, and raised their hands to clink glasses.
Lan Sihai smiled and said, "This time, the event of dealing with the three grandsons was a complete success, which was inseparable from the unity and cooperation of the three of us. Let's have a toast and wish us all the best in the future."
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
Mingmei lowered her head, took a sip, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I just can't drink this stuff."
Zhuang Zhixi: "If you can't drink it, pour it to me and I'll do it."
Mingmei shook her head and refused: "No, I just want to drink a little to make myself happy."
She was also a naughty girl when she was young, but she became more obedient when she grew up. It had never happened before that the security department was called in for a mischief like this. But even though the incident was a big deal, Mingmei was still very happy, and her whole body was filled with joy.
She said in a soft voice, "Do you think there will be any follow-up?"
Lan Sihai: "Of course there are some, but I don't think the security department will investigate it strictly, so it's not a big deal. You guys should do what you need to do. Whether it's real ghost play or real ghost play, I believe that in the eyes of the security department, it's not as serious as the story inside of the exam. Not to mention, there are also scandals in the middle. They will definitely investigate those first."
Zhuang Zhixi thought for a moment and said, "So you asked me to remind the security department and involve them..."
What he said to Zhang San was not without purpose.
Old Man Lan said meaningfully, "If it's a street investigation, it's just about the haunted things. Regardless of whether they are serious or not, they will definitely focus on this. But if it's a security department investigation, the most important thing is definitely whether there is any inside information about the exam. Although, at the beginning we didn't know Zhou Qun could say these things, but now that we know, we still have to let the security department intervene. A clear investigation is also a kind of fairness to everyone. Why is it that others are working diligently and delving into the business, while he is doing these messes and getting a high salary, is this appropriate?"
Lan Sihai is not a good person. He has been selfish and self-centered all his life, focusing on eating, drinking, playing and having fun, but he also has a sense of justice. He was rehired after retirement, so there is no question of whether he will be promoted or not, but he hopes that other hard-working people can have a fair result.
Zhuang Zhixi flattered him: "Grandpa, I knew you were a man with a special sense of justice. Our Mingmei is just like you, with a very good character."
It's pretty good to flatter two people at the same time.
Lan Sihai glanced at Zhuang Zhixi with a half-smile and said, "Oh, you really know how to talk."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled brightly, very kindly.
He sighed: "What I said is true. Well, this is really the first time I have done such an exciting thing. You don't know, I was very nervous at the time, but the more nervous I was, the more excited I was. Grandpa, how did you come up with this idea? It's amazing."
Zhuang Zhixi really felt that he had seen something. When he was a kid, he followed his elder brother and Bai Fendou and others around. But he had never seen such a high-end way of playing. And this mechanism was really something.
Lan Sihai: "Do you think I watched the acrobatics for nothing? I have life experience."
Zhuang Zhixi gave a thumbs up in admiration.
Old Master Lan snorted proudly and said, "There's nothing I can't do. Jugglery tricks are not difficult for me. Besides, I've seen this kind of ghost tricks before. If you let me pretend to be the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui, I promise to make you see ghost tricks. It's not difficult for those who know how to do it. Do you understand?"
Zhuang Zhixi really didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from sighing: "You are really a god. You even know this."
Lan Sihai looked at the two faces full of curiosity and said, "I have seen a lot before. I am also very curious. Whenever I see something, I always want to know the reason. After a while, I know a lot. Let alone this kind of thing, I can also show movies."
Lan Sihai raised his head and chest with pride.
To be honest, he knows a lot of things.
Even Mingmei was surprised. She said softly, "Grandpa, you can even do this... Are you willing to teach you?"
Lan Sihai: "Of course I won't teach you the cooking skills. Whether it's showing a movie or those little tricks, they are all very secretive and won't tell others easily. But after getting familiar with it, you can always figure it out if you pay more attention and think more, study it more, and ask for advice."
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei nodded.
I have to say that the old man's mentality is really right.
Zhuang Zhixi: "It is indeed the case now. People with skills will not teach others easily. You know, I have been going to the hospital every afternoon to learn how to show movies from our projectionist Xiao Xu. Emma, this big brother is really something. He always hides things when he speaks. He even asked me for something these two days. What he meant was that drinking some chicken soup will make you get better quickly. Apprentices should respect their masters. I really am..."
Xiao Xu was very conflicted. He had to teach him, but he was also afraid that he would really learn it.
This contradictory feeling is that every time he sees Zhuang Zhixi, he has a sullen face, as if Zhuang Zhixi is begging him for this matter. He even implies that he is asking Zhuang Zhixi for something. He feels that he can't teach in vain.
But I didn't expect that this matter was arranged by the leader.
He sprained his foot and couldn't show the movie on the afternoon of Labor Day, so he would have to delay his work. But now he still wanted to take advantage of this matter, as if he would not teach well if Zhuang Zhixi didn't give him a gift.
Mingmei was surprised: "Why haven't I heard you say that?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "These are all trivial matters. Why should I talk about them when I get home?"
He doesn't like to bring bad things home.
Lan Sihai: "So what are you going to do?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "What can I do? If he doesn't teach me, then I won't learn. I don't really want to learn it that much."
Mingmei: "Aren't you very enthusiastic about learning painting and making props from Lao Huang?"
She thought that Zhuang Zhixi liked everything.
Zhuang Zhixi shook his head: "That's not the same thing. So what if I learned to show movies? I can't be transferred to the Propaganda Department to show movies. This job has technical content, but not that much technical content. It doesn't need two people. Xiao Xu is so young, it's impossible for him to retire. And if he really teaches me, I don't know how many tricks he will do. And he will be called a master. I feel sick. It's obvious that he wants me to learn from him, for fear that someone else in the Propaganda Department will take his job. But when I really went there, he started to do it again. I am familiar with the hospital, and I heard He said that he had privately asked several times whether he could be discharged before Labor Day, even if he was not fully recovered. It was fine as long as he could be discharged. He also hinted to the hospital not to tell anyone that he could be discharged on Labor Day... It was obvious that he would not teach me sincerely. What he taught was all over the place. Besides, I had just started learning, but he kept saying that I was talented and could learn well. I felt uneasy and might as well withdraw early. I have thought about it. Since he can be discharged anyway, I will refuse the opportunity to learn to project movies tomorrow, saying that Lao Huang is too busy. Let him find someone else."
Lan Sihai said meaningfully: "You are still young."
Zhuang Zhixi quickly said like a lackey: "What do you think, old man? Please give me some advice."
Mingmei was also excited: "I want to listen too."
Lan Sihai smiled: "He didn't teach you well, but praised you for learning well. Can't you see it? Let's say that something went wrong when you showed a movie on Labor Day. Do you think it was his problem or yours?"
Zhuang Zhixi's face changed: "It must be mine."
Mingmei was puzzled: "But why would he do this? There is no contradiction between them."
But after Lan Sihai's suggestion, Zhuang Zhixi understood. He said, "I understand. There is no contradiction. But if I fail on the spot, he will rush over from the hospital to save the situation. That shows his ability. First, it shows his importance. Second, he may be appreciated by the leaders and promoted."
Lan Sihai laughed and nodded: "That's the truth. People like us who came from the old society are different from you kids who grew up in the sunshine. We have really seen a lot of darkness. I never think of anyone as a good person. If a person does something against the norm and it seems unreasonable, then don't doubt your own judgment. You can't be sure that this person is up to no good."
Zhuang Zhixi nodded seriously.
Mingmei, standing aside, also had a look of "learning a lesson" on her face.
They were all in their early twenties, and had certainly experienced hunger, but they had never seen anything shady. In their eyes, Aunt Zhou next door was no longer a good person.
But in fact, she is nothing.
Zhuang Zhixi thought for a moment: "Then I know what to do. Thank you, Grandpa, for your advice."
Lan Sihai said meaningfully: "Sometimes you don't have to waste your time on being too serious. You can do more with that time. As for this kind of villain, things may change over time. If he does this, he might get into trouble soon."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I know this, but I'm not that kind of person."
Lan Sihai nodded.
This matter is different from Zhou Qun's. Zhou Qun was plotting against Mingmei, so Lan Sihai wanted to deal with him.
Mingmei doesn't drink much, and her alcohol tolerance is even worse. Although she didn't drink much, she was still a little drunk. Her face was flushed, and she was a little excited as she shouted, "No, no, no, we won't do this anymore. We won't do this anymore."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed: "Hey, my dear wife, you really hit the nail on the head."
Mingmei snorted coquettishly, and Lan Sihai sighed and said, "I, Lan Sihai, can drink a lot, but how come my granddaughter has become like this?"
Mingmei's eyes were dark and bright, and she muttered, "I didn't."
"Eat meat, eat meat. If it gets hotter in a few days, I won't come. If I don't come, you won't have this good thing. Hurry up and eat."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then I have to take advantage of it quickly."
Mingmei said mysteriously and quietly: "It's okay, we have money."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "Then we should save as much as possible and take advantage of what we should take."
Lan Sihai said faintly: "I heard it..."
Mingmei chuckled.
The three of them went home together after having enough food and drink. Lan Sihai looked at the young couple, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm leaving first. You guys can take your time."
Mingmei: "It's up to you."
She smiled softly, hugged Zhuang Zhixi's waist, and said, "Ride faster, let's fly."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
This is unnecessary, isn't it? Mingmei: "Catch up with grandpa, you see, he is faster than you even at his age."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who can compare with your family?"
This old man is in his seventies and he is still very good at jumping over walls. He can't do that.
Mingmei refused: "Hurry up, if you can't do it, I can make the car into a hot wheel."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
This is even more unnecessary.
He comforted his drunken wife and said, "We are not in a hurry to go back. It is a good opportunity to see the scenery along the way. Isn't it great? Look, the willow trees on the roadside have sprouted."
Mingmei: "Do you like willow trees? Then I'll pull some willow branches and make a wreath for you?"
She was very excited. Zhuang Zhixi's mouth twitched and he said, "This green one... I don't really want it."
Mingmei said coquettishly: "Picky."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "I don't want it anyway."
He said, "Who likes green... ugh."
He saw the authentic cuckold holder, Jiang Lu.
Jiang Lu rode his bike back from the other end and turned into the main road, not far ahead of them.
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's Sister Jiang Lu."
Mingmei groaned and whispered to Zhuang Zhixi, "Why is she acting like nothing happened?"
Two days had passed since the haunted incident. If yesterday was because things were chaotic and the chaos had affected it, then there should be an explanation today, right? But seeing that Jiang Lu was still very calm, it was quite surprising.
Mingmei: "I don't know what she is thinking."
If it were an ordinary person, he would have left this quagmire long ago.
Just, I really don't understand.
Mingmei whispered: "She is really not an ordinary person."
Zhuang Zhixi nodded, agreeing deeply.
The young couple followed Jiang Lu back to the yard and saw Jiang Lu walking in with a net bag. Zhuang Zhixi had sharp eyes and immediately saw a long object in it. If he was not mistaken, it looked like a sheep's whip?
Zhuang Zhixi's mouth twitched: "..."
No, how come you are still thinking about nourishing yourself at this time? Besides this, there is also a bottle of Erguotou.
Zhuang Zhixi took another look, and Jiang Lu looked up. Zhuang Zhixi immediately looked away, pretending to look around. Jiang Lu also had no expression, and walked in with her things. The Zhou family was extremely quiet.
Even Mrs. Zhou Li didn't make a sound. You know, if Jiang Lu came back late, Mrs. Zhou Li would scold him. She would yell at him anything unpleasant.
That wasn't the case today.
Zhuang Zhixi shrugged and looked at his wife. Although Mingmei was a little drunk, she was not drunk in a confused way. Instead, she was a little excited. She whispered: "This..."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Let's go home."
The young couple held hands and didn't seem to care much.
Wang Xiangxiu brought out the clothes to wash. Seeing the two people's posture, she pursed her lips awkwardly, then showed an ambiguous smile and said, "Oh, look at this young couple. They have such a good relationship."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Sister Su, it's almost dark, why are you still washing clothes?"
Wang Xiangxiu showed a sad expression and said softly, "Don't we have to wash clothes? I have many children at home, and the boys are very naughty. Being a mother is always a bit tiring."
She looked down, her eyes fell on the hands of the two men, and said, "Are you going out to eat?"
At this time, she had already finished get off work, so she must have just come back from a restaurant. Wang Xiangxiu looked at Mingmei jealously, unable to control her emotions for a moment. She said, "You can't live like this. If you can't afford to eat and wear, you'll be poor. If you can't plan well, you'll be poor. It's even worse to spend money just because you have a little money."
She used to be most jealous of Jiang Lu, but once Zhou Qun's reputation spread, she felt relieved. Although she was also implicated, she faked suicide and it went well. So her reputation was not affected.
When she looked at Jiang Lu's face, she felt extremely happy.
But this joy did not last long. When she saw Mingmei, she became unhappy again.
We are all women, why does she have to be a widow while others live such a comfortable life.
She said with malice in her tone, "We are all from the same courtyard. As your elder sister, I have to remind you that you can't do this. Young couples go out to eat and drink together and ignore the elderly at home. This will make people criticize you. Mingmei, as a new daughter-in-law, this is really unfilial."
She harbored malicious intent, waiting to see Mingmei panic, but she saw that Mingmei seemed not to hear her words.
Not only that, Mingmei turned around and looked at Zhuang Zhixi coquettishly, saying softly, "Brother Zhixi, today's Donglaishun is really delicious. Shall we go there again in the future?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "Okay."
He looked up at Wang Xiangxiu and said, "Sister-in-law Su, I heard that you went to a small hotel with Zhou Qun?"
Wang Xiangxiu's face changed and she said sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about! You are ruining my reputation by saying this."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said calmly, "Yes, if I talk nonsense, it will ruin your reputation, then won't you also ruin our reputation? Didn't you just accuse us of being unfilial?"
Wang Xiangxiu said awkwardly, "Aren't you just coming back from eating?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Well, Brother Zhou Qun mentioned you, so you must have had an affair and went to the small hotel."
"You! Don't go too far." Wang Xiang was very delicate. She didn't expect Zhuang Zhixi to be so difficult to deal with. She bit her lip and stared at Zhuang Zhixi. Zhuang Zhixi sneered and said, "You don't think you went too far, so how could I go too far? It's all groundless anyway. really funny."
Mingmei was amused and nodded, saying, "That's right! Oh, by the way, Zhixi, do you think I can stay in a small hotel without a letter of introduction?"
She asked out of genuine curiosity.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Logically it shouldn't be possible, but if you can get a letter of introduction, or have acquaintances in a small hotel, it should be possible, right? I haven't been there either, but I guess that's the way it is." He also had something to say.
Mingmei: “That’s not easy.”
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's certainly not easy, but it's not that difficult either. It just depends on whether you have connections."
"That's right."
The young couple actually started discussing as if no one was around.
At this time, Aunt Su came out to help. Aunt Su smiled and said, "What are you two discussing?"
She glanced at her daughter-in-law and said, "Hurry up and wash them. Otherwise, you'll be naked tomorrow if they don't dry. These guys are really naughty. You can see that my pants are in good condition, but they got torn. You have to mend them, and you haven't even changed them yet."
"knew."
Aunt Su: "My Xiu'er's words are not appropriate, but she has no bad intentions. As you know, her family is from the big carriage inn, where there are many poor families. She has not received much education, so she doesn't think too much about what she says. In fact, she is really kind-hearted. She shouldn't say that about the small hotel. If someone takes it seriously, our Xiu'er's reputation will be ruined. She is a good woman. After my boy left, she has been supporting the family, which is not easy. You can tell from the way she does things that she is kind."
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei both laughed and looked at each other again. Zhuang Zhixi couldn't help but sigh that Aunt Su's skills were really beyond the reach of ordinary people. The key point was that this person was not only a white lotus, but also able to admit mistakes, complain and be strong.
Wang Xiangxiu doesn't have one tenth of her ability.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Aunt Su, we are also young and energetic, but Aunt Su's words are really unpleasant."
He said, "She just said this to us, and we said a few words back, and then we let it go. If she talks nonsense like this to others, she will definitely get beaten. We are treated to dinner this time, otherwise we will really be accused of being unfilial. Not having been educated is not an excuse for talking nonsense. She doesn't know anything, so she just makes assumptions. So, it's not too much to slap her in the face, right? Besides, she can talk nonsense just by guessing, so if I see her going to a small hotel, can I also guess that she is having an affair outside?"
Want to accuse his wife of being unfilial? Zhuang Zhixi would not tolerate that.
Aunt Su and Wang Xiangxiu didn't expect Zhuang Zhixi to be so persistent. Both of them looked a little unhappy, and Zhuang Zhixi kept talking about small hotels, which made them tremble in their hearts.
"What small hotel? Don't tell me."
Zhuang Zhixi looked at Wang Xiangxiu with a half-smile and said, "Oh~ I'm just assuming. You're assuming that we're not filial. You do one thing and I'll do fifteen."
Aunt Su hurriedly said, "Don't make such a joke. Xiaozhuang, don't be angry. I will tell her not to talk too much next time."
Zhuang Zhixi was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "I'm glad you know. Let's go back."
He took his wife home, and Mingmei asked angrily, "Is she jealous of me?"
Zhuang Zhixi burst out laughing and said, "You know?"
Mingmei: “You can tell!”
She lazily leaned back in her chair and said, "When I was a kid, I was often envied by others. I could tell right away when others were jealous of me."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Yo!”
Mingmei said coquettishly: "Really? My family is well off, and my mom is willing to spend money on food, clothing and other daily necessities, so I lived much better than other girls when I was a child. And my master and my uncle often bought me food, so I had so much delicious food, hehe..."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then you were very likable when you were a child."
Mingmei nodded: "Of course, because I have talent. Teachers like talented students. It's the same with martial arts."
Zhuang Zhixi: "...You can still brag about yourself."
Mingmei's eyes were round as she said, "Why am I bragging? I'm telling the truth. You don't understand how important it is to have talent in our industry. I've been envied since I was a kid. There are boys who envy me, and there are girls who envy me, so I know everything about jealous looks."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed: "Okay, okay, you know everything. Xiaomei, such a talented girl, do you want to wash up now? I'll get you some water."
Mingmei: "Okay~"
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and got up to fetch some water to boil.
As soon as he saw his mother standing at the door, Zhuang Zhixi immediately turned into a big eunuch and approached like a lackey: "Mom, are you looking for me?"
In order to clean up the mess for them, his mother's reputation became even more fierce, so his sons had to humble themselves and behave themselves.
Zhao Guihua: "You guys should have some shame and stop always letting the old man pay for you."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "I know."
He said, "Mom, I can't take a holiday before Labor Day. If there is anything to do at home, you can call Mingmei. She is on a normal schedule."
Zhao Guihua: "Do you really need to sell this?"
She turned and left. Zhuang Zhixi smiled and went to get water. Wang Xiangxiu was still washing clothes. This person was shameless and had been a little unhappy just now. At this time, she took the initiative to greet him and said, "You are really considerate."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "That's right. There are not many men as good as me in this world."
Isn't it just bragging? Zhuang Zhixi is also good at it.
Wang Xiangxiu originally meant to tease him, but she didn't expect Zhuang Zhixi to be so shameless. She sighed and didn't know how to respond for a moment. However, she looked at Zhuang Zhixi from the corner of her eyes and felt that this guy was good. He looked clean and had a formal job. His only shortcoming was that he had a big mouth.
However, she took another look and felt that she might be able to go a step further.
At first, she had Zhou Qun as her regular meal ticket, but it was obvious that after the haunting incident, no matter whether Zhou Qun could clear up those bad rumors or not, he certainly could not come to her easily.
That means she can no longer earn this money.
She bit her lip. His family had a son, so he couldn't eat badly. It was far from enough to rely on salary and the benefits she got from Bai Fendou. She still had to get a long-term meal ticket. She looked up at Zhuang Zhixi and thought he was a very good candidate.
Although rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, and their home is a little closer, they are still happy to find grass near their burrows.
Because in addition to making money, she can also get spiritual satisfaction.
Just like Jiang Lu, Jiang Lu's family conditions are good, so what? No matter how good her family conditions are, her man is still involved with her? Doesn't he have to give her money to spend? This kind of psychological satisfaction is very important to Wang Xiangxiu, which makes her feel that she is stepping on Jiang Lu.
And now, she has set her sights on Zhuang Zhixi.
There is no man who doesn't cheat, it just depends on whether she will put in the effort.
At this moment, Wang Xiangxiu was filled with fighting spirit.
Haha, when the time comes, Zhuang Zhixi will give her the money she earns. Let’s see what that little bitch Mingmei is still so proud of. She looks so happy all day long, but I don’t know what she has to be proud of. She can’t even give birth to a son.
She had been married for several months, but there was no movement at all.
Thinking of this, she smiled proudly. Only her stomach was able to perform well, while no one else's could.
She really hopes that no one else can give birth.
This woman, who can't have children, can't give birth to a son, is no different from waste. She glanced at the family of waste number one Jiang Lu, then glanced at the family of waste number two Mingmei, and laughed proudly and happily.
Quack, quack.
Zhuang Zhixi had already returned to the house, so he naturally didn't see the woman's smug look, but Jiang Lu stood at the window and saw it clearly. Although neither Zhou Qun nor Wang Xiangxiu admitted that they had any relationship with each other, Jiang Lu still stared at Wang Xiangxiu.
She felt that since Zhou Qun was such a nice girl, Wang Xiangxiu must have some ideas about him, otherwise why would she look into his house?
She believed in her own man, she trusted him very much, he was a perfect man; but she did not trust other women, she knew exactly what this vixen was thinking.
And even if something really happened, his family is made up of men, and men don't suffer any loss.
However, seeing Wang Xiangxiu's smug smile, Jiang Lu was still annoyed. Her nails were about to prick her palms. She snorted heavily, turned around and said, "Brother Qun, let's stay away from Wang Xiangxiu in the future. She is not a good person. I think she just loves you."
Zhou Qun nodded and said, "I know. Actually, Wang Xiangxiu had been pestering me before, but I thought that neighbors shouldn't get too upset, so I kept silent. But don't worry, I, Zhou Qun, am not so picky as to fall for a woman like this."
Jiang Lu: “I know.”
Zhou Qun looked at Jiang Lu deeply and said, "You are going back to your mother's house today. What do your parents say?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Lu bit her lip and felt uncomfortable.
When she went back today, she originally wanted to ask her father for help. The Zhou Qun incident had caused such a big stir that it had a bad reputation. If her father could come forward to negotiate with the factory, it would definitely help to calm the situation down.
But she never expected that her father would scold her and force her to divorce.
Jiang Lu bit her lip and said nothing. How could Zhou Qun not know that things were not going well? He could hardly suppress his anger, but he knew that he had to keep Jiang Lu steady at this time and absolutely could not let Jiang Lu leave his heart.
He said, "How about I go back with you and explain it to your parents. I thought your dad was a smart man who would understand my dilemma, but he didn't. Don't you think that I have a beautiful and young wife like you, why should I look for an old lady? Besides, there are many masters in this factory. Which master doesn't order his apprentices? Many of them order their apprentices to go home to work. Do you think I am happy to go to his house? I can't help it. But I didn't expect that I was there to work, but it became evidence of my bad personal style. There is no such injustice in the world!"
"I understand, I understand, I know. I believe you." Jiang Lu looked at her man's painful expression and quickly grabbed his hand.
Zhou Qun: "You understand me, and I am happier than anything else. It doesn't matter if everyone misunderstands me. I will be very happy if you don't misunderstand me. Well, it's my bad luck. When I went to work at my master's house, my master's wife always pestered me because I was young. Because of this, my master and I stopped hanging out. As a result, my master even said to others that I didn't respect him. How difficult is it for me? I have taken the blame for so many years, and I didn't expect there would be a new one. It's difficult for me too."
Jiang Lu hugged him distressedly: "Don't be sad, I understand, I understand you, you still have me! No one else understands you, but I understand you too! I will definitely stand by you."
Jiang Lu gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if my dad doesn't understand me. I will go back and convince them."
This is what Zhou Qun wanted. He hugged his wife and said emotionally, "I know you understand me best. Others don't understand me at all."
Jiang Lu was touched: "I know, they are all jealous of you."
The couple is very sweet and are truly a model couple.
But as soon as Zhou Qun finished speaking, he pushed Jiang Lu away and said, "I'll lie down for a while, you go and cook."
Jiang Lu looked at his pale face, nodded, and said, "I got some good stuff for you today."
She quickly went out of the inner room and started to work.
As for her mother-in-law, Zhou Li, she was chosen by old man Bai before and was disliked by her son when she came back, so she just lay in the house and pretended to be sick.
It was also because she was too embarrassed to come out.
Jiang Lu went to cook, but she didn't see Zhou Qun sweeping the places Jiang Lu touched. He was disgusted. A useless stupid woman.
He just didn't know what she could do with his affairs. In order to show that he was innocent and fearless, he had already gone to work today, but this day was really like a thorn in his side. After all, it was always uncomfortable to be pointed at by others.
Of course, he was not only upset because of this, but also because he was now completely afraid to go to the toilet in the alley. No matter how hard he tried, the ghost still frightened him. It was a ghost...
He can still feel the chill.
Zhou Qun pulled the pillowcase over his face uncomfortably.
Compared to the depression of the Zhou family, his neighbor, the Bai family, was as happy as if it was Chinese New Year. Bai Fendou looked down on Zhou Qun, and this time he was extremely happy. He hummed a little tune and drank a little wine. His father was on duty in the boiler room tonight and was not at home.
The door was pushed open with a creak, and Wang Xiangxiu came in. She looked at the pig head on the table, pouted her lips, and said, "You bad guy, you actually ate it by yourself at home. Fortunately, I was worried that you had nothing to eat, so I brought you two eggs."
There was a mixture of complaint and intimacy in her tone.
Bai Fendou immediately said: "Oh, my sister Xiu is so good to me. Sister Xiu, please sit down and eat something too."
Wang Xiangxiu glanced at the pork on the table and said coquettishly, "You eat too well, and yet you keep telling me that you have no money. You and your sister are not honest at all..."
Bai Fendou laughed and said, "Don't you know how much I'm paid? I even borrowed fifteen dollars from you this month. It really makes me sad that you say that."
Wang Xiangxiu immediately acted like a spoiled child and said, "Are you blaming me? I am borrowing money from you because I don't consider you as an outsider. If it were someone else, someone like Zhou Qun, I wouldn't even take the money."
She said this on purpose, and it really worked. Bai Fendou said, "Bah, what kind of person is he? He's just a hypocrite. Come on, Sister Xiu, sit down."
Wang Xiangxiu sat down and asked curiously, "Is this... a small fortune? If you have any way, you must tell me, sister. You know, it is too hard for me to support the family alone. You know what kind of life I live, but even so, I am still being slandered. It is said that there are many gossips in front of a widow. You know best whether I am innocent or not. If I were the kind of person who fooled around outside, I would have been living a good life long ago. Do I have to beg you for help all day long?"
She said these half-truths, covered her face and sobbed twice. Bai Fendou suddenly softened and said quickly: "I know, I know what kind of person you are, Sister Xiu. In fact, knows that you are innocent, but that Zhou Qun is not a good person. And the drunkard, who drank some horse urine and didn't know his last name, is actually nonsense."
Wang Xiangxiu: "That's right, you haven't told me where the money came from?"
Bai Fendou immediately became proud and said, "I have made a fortune. You know how I got my bicycle."
Wang Xiangxiu already knew this, and she nodded.
Every time she thought of this, she couldn't help wanting to hit the child. How could his naughty child break the plate? You know, such a large sum of money is a bicycle. Every time she thought of it, her heart would break.
"Are these two things related?"
Bai Fendou: "Of course, Chef Li's family has always wanted to buy a bicycle, and they are also very curious about how I bought this one. Now they finally came to me for help. I promised Yang Lixin to help him with this matter. The four plates were broken two years ago by the Zhuang family. Your family's was also beaten by the children early, and we are the only two families left. I thought it was worth the help, so I agreed. Since he wanted a bicycle ticket, I gave him one. But I kept all the fifty yuan from the sale. Hehe, buddy, smart, right?"
Wang Xiangxiu was surprised. She didn't expect Bai Fendou to have such a big appetite. It was almost as much as her two months' salary.
No wonder Bai Fendou has been eating better than usual these days, it turns out it's because of this.
but……
"Oh, that's not right. You had more than this back then."
Bai Fendou was even more proud: "My brother's is well preserved. His one has cracks and can't be sold for that much money. If you ask me, your family and the old banker's family are not destined to make a fortune. How come you don't know how to keep this good thing well?"
Wang Xiangxiu was also heartbroken. She said uncomfortably, "What can I do? I didn't know it was so valuable before. You only found out about it by accident."
"That's because I have this fortune. Otherwise, why don't you have it?"
Wang Xiangxiu: "Okay, stop hurting my heart."
To be honest, Bai Fendou was really unlucky. He felt uneasy when he saw a big "Lu" written on the plate. It should be nothing, but who knows if he will meet someone who is so crazy that he will say this is one of the "Four Olds".
So Bai Fendou decided to "cei" this plate to prevent future troubles. He didn't want to do this in the yard, so he planned to take it to the men's bathroom and throw it in there when the time came to save trouble. As a result, when he went to the bathroom, he happened to hear two people talking about the ghost market. They were talking about someone who went to the ghost market to sell a plate and made a lot of money.
When Bai Fendou heard this, to be honest, he was reluctant to smash his item. He didn't think it was an antique, but he thought it could sell for some money just because of the lucky word on it. He had to admit that he was a little tempted.
Although he was tempted, he didn't dare to go. He wasn't as bold as everyone thought. The ghost market was not a place that ordinary people could go to. However, he was really stimulated. Even Zhuang Zhixi, who was ten years younger than him, was married, but he was still a bachelor.
This kind of feeling is something that most people cannot understand.
That very night, on the wedding night, he took the plate to the ghost market. Unexpectedly, he sold it for a high price.
This is really bubbling beauty.
Logically, he would not go again, but Wang Xiangxiu was still asking him for money, and he did not have much money, so he wanted to make some extra money. He also asked his colleagues about this, hoping to make some money from it.
Not many of his colleagues had it, but Yang Lixin did not disappoint him.
He smiled and said, "Look, bro, am I awesome?"
Wang Xiangxiu nodded: "I have said it before, the most powerful man in this yard is you."
After a pause, she hesitated and said, "Is the one from the banker really broken?"
She immediately thought of the dealer's plate.
If Bai Fendou can cheat Yang Lixin, she can naturally take action against the banker as well.
"The one in his house broke a long time ago. I would say that he just doesn't have such good fortune." Bai Fendou: "The one in his house broke earlier than yours. It seems that the child broke it accidentally. I would say that naughty children should be beaten. Otherwise, look at how much money it costs."
When it comes to fortune, it still depends on him.
Wang Xiangxiu sighed: "How come it's all broken? It would be great if it wasn't broken..."
She sighed deeply, lamenting how she missed such a great opportunity. But soon, she smiled and said, "You are so rich, it's not easy to eat good food. This pig head meat belongs to my sister."
She stood up with the pork head in her hand, threw him a coquettish glance with a smile on her face, turned around and left.
She wanted money, but it was not good to always ask for money directly. If she did it too many times, Bai Fendou would definitely be disgusted, so she didn't want to borrow money this time. It was nothing to take a plate of pig head meat.
Bai Fendou said from behind: "You should eat some yourself, don't always think about giving it to the child, you should also supplement it yourself!"
He felt sorry for Wang Xiangxiu.
Wang Xiangxiu laughed softly, with a hook in her voice: "I see..."
