Today's event is really huge.
No one cared about cooking and all gathered in the yard. The Bai family's father and son had not returned from the hospital yet, but it was obvious that even if their wounds were treated, they would not be released.
This is no small matter, and we were caught red-handed. The factory can't just pretend nothing happened.
The Bai family father and son did not come back. Zhou Qun and his wife were the focus. But it was obvious that Zhou Qun did not want to talk about such topics. His face was very gloomy, and even towards his mother, Aunt Zhou, he had some unspeakable resentment.
However, everyone still understood Zhou Qun to some extent at this time. After all, Aunt Zhou was too unkind in doing things. Her brain was as screwed up as smoke. Before outsiders could throw dirty water on her daughter-in-law, she immediately threw it on herself, for fear that Jiang Lu was too clean.
Where can we find such family members?
"Zhou Qun, what do you think about the Bai Fendou incident? How should the factory handle it?"
"Yeah, can he and Old Man Bai keep their jobs?"
"Don't talk about whether they have work or not. If they have too much work, do they have to sit in the fence?"
“Maybe peanuts?”
Everyone asked cautiously. The one with the worst expression among these people was not the injured Zhou Qun and his wife, nor Aunt Zhou who was scolded by her son just now, but Aunt Su. Aunt Su was the most anxious and the one who cared the most about the Bai family father and son.
Of course, she didn't mean it, but like her good daughter-in-law, she was worried that this meal ticket would be wasted.
If something really happened, their family would be the most affected, so she was very worried and stared at Zhou Qun and his wife, wanting to know the result.
Zhou Qun calmed down and said, "I don't know either. I'm still investigating."
His voice was very rigid, but also full of resentment: "This kind of person, unless he is killed, is not enough to appease the public anger."
Everyone sighed and lamented his ferocity.
But if you put yourself in other people's shoes, they would probably be just as angry.
Zhao Guihua stood in the crowd and, for once, shared the same opinion as Zhou Qun. She spoke up and said, "Before doing something bad, you should have thought about the consequences. If he hadn't been exposed, he wouldn't be the one suffering now, so whatever result he gets now is what he deserves."
When these words were spoken, Aunt Zhou looked at Zhao Guihua in surprise, unable to believe that Zhao Guihua was speaking from their perspective.
But thinking again, Zhao Guihua was still very fair in many major issues, so Aunt Zhou nodded and said, "You are right. The father and son of the Bai family did such a wicked thing. It is not a pity for them to die ten thousand times."
"We are all neighbors, why make such a fuss? There might be some misunderstanding."
"Oh, you feel sorry for your mistress, right? You have no shame, but we still want you. What misunderstanding? I don't think there is any misunderstanding at all." Aunt Zhou sneered, "Misunderstanding? Would you believe it if I told you? People like this live here, and all of us are terrified."
"That's right, my wife is also very pretty." The aunt of the Sui family in the backyard was not very happy either. The behavior of the Bai family father and son was really worrying. I wonder if their yard has bad feng shui.
Some time ago, Zhou Qun was exposed for attacking old women, and now Bai Fendou wants to attack these sisters-in-law. It really makes people tremble just thinking about it.
"Auntie Wang, you are in charge of the yard. You should talk to the street office about this. We can't let this man continue to live in the yard. Otherwise, how will these young wives come in and out in the future? His house is right at the door. I feel scared just thinking about it."
After Aunt Sui said this, everyone nodded in agreement. Zhao Guihua also nodded: "That's right, I have two young wives at home. Anyway, we are worried about this kind of thing."
Aunt Wang: "Okay, I will report this to the street office, but it depends on how the factory handles it. The housing in our area is all allocated by the factory, so the factory must have an explanation before the street office can take action."
"We understand this logic. Anyway, I don't want the matter to end like this. Otherwise, it would be so scary every day." Zhao Guihua was not polite either.
We have been neighbors for so many years, and if they are calculating, then don't say that they don't care about feelings, because there is no feelings to speak of.
"Osmanthus is right."
Aunt Zhou, because everyone was supporting her, immediately stood up and said, "Yes, drive them away, drive the father and son away."
Aunt Wang calmed everyone down and said, "I will follow up on this matter, so don't worry."
"Auntie Wang, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter."
"Yes, it's really not easy for us."
"Why are you all in the yard?" Everyone was excited when Wang Xiangxiu came back. She had a bandage on her foot and was limping. Aunt Su hurried forward and asked, "Xiu'er, what happened to you?"
She quickly asked, "How did your foot get hurt? Was it hit by the machine? Or what? Mom knows that you work hard, but you also have to take care of your own safety."
Wang Xiangxiu smiled weakly and said, "Mom, help me go home."
She was so confused that she had no mood to think about anything else.
Aunt Su: "Okay, let's go home."
Aunt Zhou sneered and said mockingly, "It seems like your lover is in trouble and you are panicking."
Wang Xiangxiu didn't respond, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went home quickly.
Aunt Wang looked at it and shook her head slightly. She probably knew why Wang Xiangxiu was so distraught. In fact, other people probably knew it too. She thought he was her man, but he fell in love with someone else. Everyone would feel a little lonely.
However, Aunt Wang kindly reminded: "It rained heavily last night, and the roads are not easy to walk on today. When you walk on the side roads, please be careful of your feet and don't sprain your ankle. Yu, the kid in the alley, sprained everyone his ankle. When he came out early this morning, his ankle was swollen like a pig's hoof, so he went to the hospital."
"He's getting his retribution, right? He's been smashing up this house and that house all day long. God has eyes, so he should get some retribution." Someone whispered.
Aunt Wang coughed, pretended not to hear, and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, let's go home and eat."
It was already dark, and no one in their yard had lit a fire. They were all gathered in the yard.
Zhao Guihua and her family also went home. Unlike winter, there were still many varieties of vegetables in this season. Liang Meifen washed a handful of leeks, and Zhao Guihua instructed: "Crack an egg and fry it."
Liang Meifen's eyes lit up and she quickly said, "Okay."
Zhao Guihua was kneading dough to make two-grain pancakes. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy, and Zhao Guihua asked, "Who is the Yu kid they are talking about?"
Liang Meifen spat with disdain and said: "That's a conscienceless person. He stole his sister's job and forced her to go to the countryside. Don't you remember? Last year, you said that he was killed by a car when he went out. It was God's fault."
The corners of Zhao Guihua's mouth twitched, and she groaned...
Why don't you think about yourself when you say this?
Didn't you give the job to your brother? You are indignant when you say that to others.
Liang Meifen saw Zhao Guihua's obvious expression and explained in a low voice: "Then he forced my sister to go to the countryside and messed up her marriage. This is too much..."
Zhao Guihua nodded and didn't dwell on it. She started thinking about this kid Yu.
Although this happened last year, but...
Last year was true, but she had already lived a lifetime. However, if she said that, she did have some impression of people. To be honest, good people don't live long, and evil people leave behind thousands of years.
This guy is the first rich man on their street. In order to avoid going to the countryside, he took his sister's job. Because his family had already applied for a quota to go to the countryside, someone must go, so this guy forced his sister to go to the countryside for him. His sister was ready to get married, but she broke off contact with her lover because of this. A young girl went to the remote mountainous area alone and eventually married in the countryside. Because she couldn't bear to leave her child, she didn't want to divorce and seize this opportunity even when the tide of returning to the city began.
He, on the other hand, did not work hard after getting his sister's job. Instead, he followed the trend of the times and smashed things with a group of people wearing red armbands all day long. They would not let anyone with a little problem go. They would even create problems when there were no problems and torment people.
This kind of sinister villain has been running around freely in recent years.
A few years later, everything was over. He was only fired from the factory and did not receive any punishment. However, the old man took advantage of the favorable conditions to start a stall business, gathered a group of good brothers from the past, and is still active in the streets and alleys.
First he sold clothes, then he started selling pirated tapes.
Later, he used his connections to run an illegal coal mine in Shanxi and deceived many people into mining.
He had enough capital and worked hard from the beginning, which made him rich. He was the first one to get rich on this street. However, although he was the first to get rich and was a rich man, his relatives and friends did not benefit from it at all.
Let alone other people, he had no feelings for the sister who went to the countryside to work for him. She was such a well-off person, but she was able to drive a car in the late 1980s, which showed that she was wealthy. However, when the sister who went to the countryside to work for him came to borrow money for her son's medical treatment, she refused to lend him only 200 yuan.
At that time, people didn’t earn 20 or 30 yuan a month like now. 200 yuan was the monthly salary of an ordinary worker. He couldn’t even afford to go out to eat with his friends. But he still didn’t borrow money. He became even richer in the 1990s, but no matter how rich he was, his parents and brothers still lived in this alley.
Not to mention money, not even a head of garlic could be seen.
His brothers even said that this kid didn't even contribute to his parents' retirement. He was just that vicious! It was said, or not to mention it, but according to his brothers, their family conditions were very ordinary. The reason why Yu was able to rise so high from the beginning and had the capital was all due to his "positivity" in the past few years.
Many people only see that a lot of things have been smashed over the years, but they don't see that this is also a profitable business for some people. No matter how ignorant you are, you can always tell that some things are good.
Maybe some people were really fooled and were jumping for joy purely because of their stance.
But there are also some people like Yu Xiaozi, who saw "opportunities" and not only jumped for joy, but also stole things. Maybe they don't know what antiques are and will smash antique bottles, but everyone knows that some gold, silver and jewelry are good things.
As long as there is an opportunity, how could a bold and greedy person not be tempted?
There are not just a few such people nowadays, in fact there are quite a lot of them.
Just like the man Mingmei met on the bus before, that man was in the same situation. He used this progressive identity to make money. But that man was a little stupid and took all the gold bars. Isn't this waiting for trouble?
In addition, he had to travel thousands of miles to Hong Kong City without even a letter of introduction. This was simply a sign of a lack of brains.
People like Yu Xiaozi would not be greedy for a large sum of money like this idiot, but would make a steady income over a long period of time, and they were very stable and had not been discovered. Neighbors like them had not known about it for so long. If he had not suddenly taken out a large sum of money to do business ten years later, who would have known that he was still such a rich man?
His family has been poor peasants for generations, and now they live in a very tight situation. If someone says that this fortune was passed down from their ancestors, even a dog would not believe it.
From this perspective, what he hid last night was very problematic.
Yes, the reason why Zhao Guihua focused on this person was that she was sure that he was the one who hid the things yesterday. He twisted his foot when he jumped down from the beam yesterday, and he was limping when he walked back. Zhao Guihua took a look at him at that time, and he was indeed walking to the innermost part. So from this point of view, the person last night should be him.
If it was him, Zhao Guihua would immediately understand why he hid the things outside. His house had three rooms, but it was full of his family. He had many brothers and sisters, and they were all married, so there were more than 20 people in the family.
It's normal if he doesn't dare to leave things at home.
What is this person hiding? "Mom, mom, why are you stunned?"
Zhao Guihua came back to her senses and said, "It's okay."
She started to light the fire, and Tiger Head would come over again and again to look in, saying, "Grandma, is the meal not ready yet?"
He is hungry.
Zhao Guihua: "Soon."
Liang Meifen sighed and said, "Yu Xiaozi's sister is so pitiful. Her boyfriend is a worker. Now she is going to work in the countryside in northern Shaanxi, but the man's family won't agree to it. Now she has remarried. I heard that Yu Xiaozi even went to her house to ask for compensation under the pretext of seeking justice for his sister. It's obvious that the money was not given to his sister. He forced her to leave, and he wanted to squeeze every last bit of value out of her."
Leung Mei-fun is also a man-loving, brother-supporting woman, but she still has a bottom line and cannot devote herself completely to him. If she compares him with her husband and children, the scale still tips more towards him and his children.
Don't even mention letting her work. If she lets her work, then she wants to take advantage of the third room.
If she simply compares her marriage, husband, and children with her younger brother, she would definitely value the former more.
"How come such people don't get retribution?"
Zhao Guihua chuckled and thought to herself: Really not.
Let alone Yu Xiaozi, let's talk about Zhou Qun. He was a very wicked person in his previous life. Did he get retribution? In the end, there was no retribution. Even the wicked old lady like Aunt Zhou did not get any retribution.
And the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, although they are doing it for a living, what they do is not decent, isn't it the same? Sometimes, if you really expect punishment from heaven, how is that possible?
However, compared with Yu Xiaozi, the wicked villain in their yard is nothing.
She remembered that this man later went to Shanxi to work with others in a black coal mine, made a lot of money, harmed a lot of people, and finally ran away when something bad happened. This man was definitely not a good person.
"Okay, stop talking about them. We should stay away from people like them. He can be so cruel to his own relatives, let alone others."
Priscilla Leung: "I understand."
Today, they were a little distracted during dinner. Zhuang Laonian and the others were thinking about Bai Doufen, but Zhao Guihua was thinking about Yu Xiaozi.
To be precise, it was Yu Xiaozi's burden.
Zhao Guihua was wavering between "going to get it" and "not going to get it", wavering madly.
In fact, she knew in her heart that if this was really a good thing that Yu Xiaozi collected during his house raids, then she couldn't use it even if she got it, so she could only hide it. Hiding good things would more or less involve some risks.
But if she didn't take it away, she would feel unwilling.
Yu Xiaozi's things were not easy to come by. She was just robbing the thieves. This person is so wicked. If we let him suffer a little loss, he will have less capital to start his business, which can also be regarded as weakening his power.
Zhao Guihua felt that the little devil in her mind was constantly knocking at her head.
Click, click, again and again, constantly urging her to make a decision.
Yes, she must make a decision as soon as possible. If she goes slow, what if Yu Xiaozi moves the things away?
Zhao Guihua never thought that was the place chosen by Yu Xiaozi. No one would dare to leave such an important and good thing in a public place. She felt that it was most likely a transfer station. Yu Xiaozi must have taken the things away again.
All she could take care of was probably the few days since he sprained his foot.
Zhao Guihua rubbed her temples.
"My dear, what's wrong with you?" Zhuang Laonian asked worriedly.
Zhao Guihua: "I'm thinking about something big."
Zhuang Laonian thought she was talking about Bai Fendou, and he whispered, "This bastard is just a bad guy, he won't end up well."
In fact, Zhuang Laonian was a little sad about this matter. He thought he had a good relationship with Old Man Bai. Among the several old men in their yard, two had passed away in the early years. The remaining ones of similar age were him, Chef Li and Old Man Bai.
But he never expected that the old man would use such a vicious method to frame his son. If it weren't for his old lady's alertness, he would have suffered a great loss now. So he was quite resentful in his heart. After decades, it turned out to be like this.
There is no friendship at all.
He sighed as well.
Seeing that her parents-in-law both had unhappy expressions, Leung Mei-fen lowered her head and dared not say a word. Even the children, Hutou and Xiaoyanzi, who were good at reading people's expressions, did not dare to say anything and just ate their meals obediently.
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Mom and Dad, don't be too angry. It's not worth it to get angry at a fool. It's not the first day you know what Bai Fendou is. You don't have to bother with these two mentally ill people."
"I know, let's eat."
“Knock, knock.”
There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Guihua asked, "Who is it?"
It turned out to be Aunt Su who knocked on the door. Aunt Su smiled softly and said, "Are you still eating?"
Zhao Guihua: "What's the matter?"
Aunt Su took a look at the food on the table: a pancake made of two-grain flour, spinach and vermicelli soup, and a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks.
She cursed in her heart that she didn't know how to live. What kind of life is this? Adding eggs to stir-fried leeks is such a waste. How can eggs be eaten like this? She was jealous in her heart, but she said on the surface: "I have something to discuss with you."
Zhao Guihua: "Discuss with me? What's the matter?"
Aunt Su: "Let's go in and talk."
She took the initiative to walk in. Zhao Guihua raised her eyebrows and said, "Go ahead."
Aunt Su was even more worried when she saw that the family was not polite at all. She should ask her if she had eaten. Zhao Guihua had become even more stingy since the new daughter-in-law came into the family.
She suppressed her unhappiness and said, "I came here mainly because of the Bai family's affairs..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Guihua interrupted him and said, "Don't tell me about the Bai family's affairs. Shouldn't you go to the Zhou family for such matters? Why are you coming to my house to discuss his family's affairs?"
Aunt Su choked for a moment, then said: "We are all neighbors..."
"Don't say that. We don't want to have such neighbors. What's the matter? What will people say about our No. 44 Courtyard in the future? I feel ashamed just thinking about it. Anyway, don't tell me about his family's affairs. I don't want to hear it either. If you want to vote to drive them away, I will definitely participate. If it's something else, you should go back."
Zhao Guihua spoke coldly, and Aunt Su's eyes turned red. She said, "How can it be so serious?"
Her eyes were red. "The Bai family's father and son are such nice people. They just like to joke around a bit, but they're not bad people."
"It's not bad for your family. Sister Su, please stop acting in our house. Everyone knows that you two families have a special relationship. It's your business if you want to run around for them, but forget it if you want us to get involved. Who are you using as a pawn?"
"I don't."
"Go away, we have to eat. If you just want to sit down and chat, I don't mind. But if you want to talk about the Bai family, I don't want to hear it at all. Go out and close the door for me, okay?"
"You..." She bit her lip. Seeing that Zhao Guihua ignored her, and the other people in the Zhuang family ignored her, her mood suddenly dropped. She said, "Why can't you consider the neighborly feelings? Everyone obviously gets along well."
There is a kind of person who is so thick-skinned that even if you expose her, she can still act according to her own play, and she is pitiful. She did not look at Zhao Guihua, but looked at Zhuang Laonian, and said: "Brother Zhuang, you and Brother Bai are good brothers. How can you ignore it at this time? Zhao Guihua stood up directly, rolled up her sleeves, and said: "Do you want me to push you out?"
Aunt Su looked at Zhao Guihua in disbelief, unable to believe how this old woman could be so barbaric. Zhao Guihua said nothing and pushed her out, saying, "Sister Su, go home quickly and stop running around for your lover. This matter has nothing to do with our family and we are not interested."
She moved very skillfully, pushing, closing, and bang.
The door was closed.
Aunt Su bit her lip, wiped away her tears, and lamented the cruelty of the world.
But she couldn't ignore Lao Bai and his son. This was the most important meal ticket for their family. She complained about everyone's ruthlessness in her heart, but at the same time she also complained about Lao Bai and his son for being unreasonable. Why did they deliberately torment Jiang Lu for no reason?
Although there were some bad rumors, Aunt Su and her daughter-in-law still believed that the Bai family father and son did not really want to do anything to Jiang Lu. After all, they were people with evil intentions but no courage. If it were someone else who spent so much money on their family, they would have done it long ago. But Aunt Su and Lao Bai were innocent, and Wang Xiangxiu and Bai Doufen were also innocent. So Zhao Guihua felt that they simply did not have the courage.
If he did it on purpose to piss off Zhou Qun, that's possible.
She would never believe that they were planning something bad to lesbians.
But even if they really have bad intentions, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to trust the Bai family. After all, this is a real meal ticket.
Aunt Su went to the backyard again. Liang Meifen was a little confused and said, "Mom, this is obviously the Zhou family's business. Why does she have to bypass the Zhou family and look for other families?"
I can't really understand it.
Zhao Guihua: "She wants to unite all the families to put pressure on the Zhou family. If Zhou Qun and Jiang Lu insist that this is a joke and a big misunderstanding, will the factory still pursue it? Do you think Aunt Su is stupid? She is very smart. She saw through the key to the matter at once."
"But, but wouldn't it be the same if she asked the Zhou family directly?"
"What weight does she have? Going to beg the Zhou family alone? Will the Zhou family listen to her? She really wants to unite the masses."
Liang Meifen curled her lips: "Who wants to care about them?"
Zhao Guihua raised her eyebrows: "Don't look down on him. She is very good at playing the victim. Maybe someone will listen to her and be moved by her. Only someone like me who has known her for a long time will not fall for her trick. If you change someone else, let's talk about you. If she keeps crying to you and talking about the neighborly love, you may be fooled if she talks too much."
Priscilla Leung: “That’s not possible.”
Zhao Guihua: “Haha.”
Do you think you were fooled enough in your previous life?
In this life, she had already expressed her dislike for their family through her words and deeds, so Liang Meifen did not dare to have too much contact with them. If this was the same as in her previous life, she would have been fooled a lot if she had been away from work and had had more contact with that family.
Aunt Su was very good at using her pitiful and kind face to gain people's sympathy and trust. Later, Zhao Guihua thought that many of his family farces were instigated by Aunt Su.
It's so annoying.
Zhao Guihua: "Liang Meifen."
Zhao Guihua was extremely serious: "Stay away from those two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If I find out that you are hanging around with them, I will punish you."
Liang Meifen quickly expressed her loyalty: "Mom, I won't."
Zhao Guihua: “Haha.”
She looked at her eldest son again and said, "If Wang Xiangxiu comes closer, wake her up."
Zhuang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm not that kind of person."
He is a civilized man.
However, Miriam Leung immediately became alert and said, "Yes. You should stay away from them. They are not good people."
Who knows if these widows will covet her man. If they are decent people, she is not worried. For example, Sister Xu, a model worker in the machinery factory, is also a widow, so no one is worried because she is very decent.
But Wang Xiangxiu...she is not trustworthy!
Zhuang Zhiyuan: “…”
Who did he offend?
Today they were busy gossiping and had dinner late. Just after dinner, Zhuang Zhixi and his wife came back. Mingmei smiled and said, "Mom, we are back."
Zhao Guihua always sighed that Mingmei was smiling all day long and looked like a blessed girl.
She said, "Are your parents-in-law okay?"
Mingmei: "I feel healthy and everything I eat tastes delicious."
It's possible that her parents are not doing well.
Mingmei: "Mom, this is the tea my mom asked me to bring you."
Zhao Guihua thanked him quickly. This stuff is hard to buy now. Generally, such tickets will not be issued to ordinary people. It is good for them to buy some high-quality tea. For example, Mingmei's tea is very valuable.
Generally, only a small leader would drink it.
"You have to thank your mother for me."
Mingmei nodded with a smile and said, "Mom, I'm going to visit grandpa. My mom also brought a box for grandpa."
Zhao Guihua: "Go ahead."
Although Mingmei's grandfather lived in the same courtyard as them, the two families did not visit each other every day. After all, Old Man Lan was a person who valued his private space. Zhao Guihua felt that Old Man Lan was more like a reborn person than she was.
He is really cool.
Although Zhao Guihua was reborn, she was not really free and easy. She still couldn't see through many things and didn't have much knowledge. She just had a little more vision than others. But old man Lan lived a very free and easy life.
Sometimes I feel envious when I think about it.
Mingmei and Zhuang Zhixi came to Lan Sihai's door carrying cloth bags. She knocked on the door jokingly: "Grandpa, your most lovely granddaughter is here."
As soon as he shouted, the door opened with a click. Lan Sihai smiled and said, "Oh, this is a shy girl. How could my granddaughter be so shy? She is so calm even when bragging. Not bad, not bad. It's really quite good."
He made room for her and said, "Come in quickly. After all, my granddaughter is so cute. It would be bad if she was caught by a crow."
Mingmei said coquettishly: "Where are the crows? Grandpa, you are talking nonsense."
Lan Sihai: "It's no good letting an eagle catch him."
Zhuang Zhixi: "And me, Grandpa, your even cutter grandson-in-law."
He followed in, and Lan Sihai finally couldn't stand it anymore, and turned around and vomited. No matter how old his granddaughter was, she was still a child in his heart, but this grandson-in-law... He said, "Can you straighten your tongue before you speak? Ugly people are really weird."
Zhuang Zhixi felt wronged: "Grandpa, why do you have double standards? You said nonsense to Mingmei, saying she is cute; when I praised myself, you said I am ugly and weird, but I am such a handsome and energetic young man. You really broke my heart."
Lan Sihai curled his lips in disdain and said, "Go away."
It's so straightforward and cold.
Zhuang Zhixi said sadly: "Ah, it's hard to be a human being, and it's even harder to be someone's grandson-in-law."
At this time, Luo Xiaohe poured them each a cup of hot water, put a little sugar in it, and said, "Drink some sugar water."
Nowadays, the best way to entertain guests is to have something sweet.
Mingmei lowered her head and gulped down the work, saying, "Thank you."
Although she was my grandfather's new wife and they lived in the same courtyard, they were not very familiar with each other. Luo Xiaohe was a quiet person who didn't talk much, while Mingmei had a somewhat noisy personality, so naturally they didn't get along.
Fortunately, her characteristic is that if she can't get along with someone, she won't force it. Just maintain the necessary politeness. It is always better to be a good relative than to force intimacy.
Mingmei: "Grandpa, my mom asked me to bring you a box of tea and a bag of preserved fruit. And this, this is a short-sleeved shirt my mom made for you."
Mingmei put down everything and said, "Is my mom okay? Please try on this dress."
Old Man Lan immediately stood up, carried his clothes into the house, quickly changed and came out, nodding and saying, "Your mother's cooking skills are pretty good."
He said, "It's good, but tell your mother that she doesn't have to prepare it for me anymore."
Mingmei: “Huh?”
Lan Sihai: "Prepare this for me, and I have to return the gift, which is quite troublesome. I will take care of the food and drinks, but I don't need the clothes."
Mingmei: “Oh.”
Her grandfather was indeed an unconventional person.
Lan Sihai: "Do you have some of this preserved fruit too?"
Mingmei: "Hey, yes."
Lan Sihai: "Okay then, I won't give it to you. Just wait."
He took out his key, opened the cabinet, took out a bag of White Rabbit, and said, "Here, take this home for you to eat."
Mingmei's eyes were round and she said, "Grandpa, you treat me like a child."
Lan Sihai: "Then do you want to..."
Mingmei decisively: "Yes!"
What girl doesn't like sweets? She quickly put away the White Rabbit and smiled brightly. Zhuang Zhixi leaned back in the chair like a boneless person and said, "I..."
"There's no share for you!" the grandfather and grandson spoke together.
Zhuang Zhixi: “???”
He scratched his head and said, "You guys are too bullying, I didn't ask for anything, woo, woo, I just wanted to ask, can I have another glass of water? Woo, woo, woo, you misunderstood me."
Luo Xiaohe smiled and said, "I'll pour you some water."
Lan Sihai: "No, what's the point of being here? Go home and drink. It's getting late, so I won't entertain you. Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. I'm old and I can't bear it anymore."
Mingmei: "Okay."
She pulled Zhuang Zhixi up, and Zhuang Zhixi muttered, "You didn't even give me a glass of water to drink."
Lan Sihai: "I take care of you!"
He rolled his eyes and said arrogantly: "I don't even care about my own daughter, how can I care about you, my grandson-in-law?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Sad, you obviously like me the most."
Lan Sihai suppressed his laughter and said, "Go away, don't be so conceited. By the way, you have been transferred to a new position. You are now a cadre position. You get a cigarette ticket every quarter. No one in your family smokes. Give it to me and I will buy it from you with money."
"No need for that. I'll give it to you. Anyway, I..."
"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I won't argue with you. Let's just exchange honestly."
"That works."
Zhuang Zhixi went back with Mingmei and saw Hutou and Xiaoyanzi coming out hand in hand to go back to sleep. She generously gave each of them a piece of White Rabbit candy and said, "Auntie will give you White Rabbit candy. Can I have it?"
Tiger Head: "Okay, my aunt is the best, better than my mom!"
Liang Meifen: “…”
She said faintly: "I heard it."
Hu Tou covered his big head and ran quickly into the house.
Little Swallow giggled and shouted, "Aunt is the best."
She always stands on the same side with her brother.
Mingmei laughed out loud, and Liang Meifen calmed down. They were the ones who took advantage, so it was nothing to suffer a little loss, and they would not argue with her.
Don’t follow!
She tried to calm down, and her eyes almost popped out of her head when she glanced at them. Oh, so many White Rabbits! This bag weighs one kilogram, right? Mingmei noticed her gaze and immediately ran away, saying, "Go back to the room!"
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and shook his head, saying, "You can't snatch your sister-in-law away. At most, he can urge the child to ask you for it."
Liang Meifen: “…”
You're saying this in front of me? She smiled awkwardly and said, "No, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."
Although she did think so for a moment, she couldn't do it anymore after being told. It was embarrassing. Leung Mei-fun wanted to take advantage, but didn't want to stand out, and wanted to save face. It was precisely because of these contradictory characteristics that she often couldn't get what she wanted.
It hurts.
She returned to the house in a melancholy mood and said, "Where is my sister-in-law's milk?"
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Her grandfather gave it to her. I didn't see any sugar when she came in to get some tea leaves just now."
As a man, he didn't care much about these things. He said casually: "You see, Mr. Lan seems cold and indifferent, and his words are not nice, but he is very good to my sister-in-law. I have seen him give Mingmei White Rabbit candy more than once."
Zhuang Zhiyuan just said this casually, but Liang Meifen felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that Zhuang Zhiyuan was trying to point fingers at her.
Her parents' family, even her grandfather can help her, but her family is only trying to dig into her husband's family. It must be because of this that she felt sour and her eyes were a little red. Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Go get some water, I'll soak my feet."
Priscilla Leung: “Oh.”
Cry.
The couple stopped talking again, but Mingmei and Zhuang Zhixi were very lively. Mingmei took some preserved fruits and a bag of peach cakes from her mother, and a bag of White Rabbit snacks from her grandfather, and put them all in the cupboard. This was her granary.
Zhuang Zhixi lazily lay on the bed and said, "Wife, massage my shoulders."
Mingmei: "Go away, that's wishful thinking."
Zhuang Zhixi stretched out his hand and pulled, and the two of them lay on the bed together. He held Mingmei's hand, pressed it against his chest, and said, "Look, my heartbeat has quickened. I'm really nervous today."
His topic came out of nowhere, but Mingmei already knew what happened on the way back to her parents' home. She surged up like a bean worm and leaned into Zhuang Zhixi's arms. She tilted her little face to look at him and said, "I know you can handle this."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I can handle it, but I still need my wife's comfort."
He looked down at her with a smile on his lips. Under the light, he saw the fine hairs on her face. He couldn't help it, so he lowered his head and gave her a breath. Mingmei pouted at him, and Zhuang Zhixi followed suit... As for what he was thinking or what he wanted to say just now, he couldn't remember.
The house was hot and bustling, but the weather outside was getting gloomy. It had rained a lot in the past few days.
It rained heavily last night, and it rained heavily all morning today, and it stopped at noon. It was cloudy again this evening and the wind started to blow. Soon I could hear the sound of raindrops hitting the ground, with a clacking sound.
It's hail.
Zhao Guihua tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Zhuang Laonian was startled by her movements and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you still unable to let go of what happened today?"
Zhao Guihua: "I'm not thinking about that. I'm thinking about the bag in the toilet..."
Zhuang Laonian: "Why do you think so? Didn't you say yesterday that you don't care about this?"
Zhao Guihua: "That should have been put there by Yu kid. You know Yu kid, right? He's the one from Old Yu's family in the alley. That's not a good thing."
Zhuang Laonian: "He put it there? How do you know?"
"That guy sprained his foot yesterday, and I also roughly saw the general location where he lived. If it was someone else, I wouldn't be tempted. But this kid, he is obviously relying on raiding houses everywhere, and I kind of want to rob him."
Zhuang Laonian has been an honest man all his life and has never done such a good thing. He felt a little nervous when he heard what Zhao Guihua said.
He said: "Is this... okay? We all know that he was the one who did it?"
"I wanted to do it because I knew it was him. If it was someone else, I would have pretended I didn't see it. This is definitely not something he brought with him."
Zhao Guihua: "I am so hesitant..."
Zhuang Laonian was timid and said, "If it were me, I would definitely not agree with you doing this. We are living a good life and don't need to get involved in these things. But you are hesitating now because you want to rob the thieves. I can see that you are very tempted. No matter what you decide, I support you. So I will still watch you and listen to you."
Zhao Guihua looked at her husband and said with a smile: "You are the only one who supports me at all times."
Zhuang Laonian blushed slightly and said, "If I don't support you, who should I support? You are my partner."
Zhao Guihua: "I like what you said."
Zhuang Lao Ni laughed, and after a while, he asked, "What do you want to do?"
Zhao Guihua sat up and said, "Let's go get it!"
Zhuang Laonian: "I'll go."
Zhao Guihua: "I'll keep watch for you."
Zhuang Lao Nier: "Okay."
Zhao Guihua: "No, let's wait a little bit. There are a lot of things going on today. Some people may not sleep yet. Let's go out later. In order to avoid being noticed, I want to see what the Yu family kid is hiding."
Zhuang Laonian made a rare joke and said, "Maybe we will know after we take it down that there is nothing inside."
Zhao Guihua: "If there is none, then there is none."
She said: "Now that I have made up my mind, I don't want to give up. Hey, you said it's good that the Bai family father and son are not at home. We will be safer when we go out."
"That's right."
The sound of them opening and closing the door back and forth may not be heard in the yard, but the slightest movement at the door can wake up a light sleeper. So it is very important for them that there is no one at the door.
"Speaking of which, I don't know how the Bai family's father and son are doing. I heard that... it was broken?"
Zhuang Laonian felt very painful just thinking about it. Anything could break, but this thing couldn't. And Jiang Lu was a bit angry, and he kicked that spot specifically. Ah~ scary! "Everyone said it was broken. I wonder if it can be repaired at the hospital."
Zhuang Laonian: "..."
I've heard of mending clothes, but I've never heard of mending eggs.
He gritted his teeth and felt that he couldn't even think about it. It hurt to think about it.
He sighed sincerely: "So I can offend anyone but not a woman. I am really crazy."
But Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "He deserves it!"
"I don't know if this will affect fertility. The Bai family doesn't have an heir yet, and Bai Fendou hasn't gotten married yet."
"Who knows..."
Compared with chatting with the elderly, the person involved cried bitterly, felt wronged and sad... This was the pain of life that he could not bear. Bai Fendou cried and lay on the bed, but he could not fall asleep in the dead of night.
If he hadn't... broken, he would have been locked up in the security department now.
It is already very difficult for him to lie in the hospital bed now.
But this was gained at the cost of his brokenness.
Although Jiang Lu smashed his head, a woman's strength is always limited. He bled a lot, but the wound on his head was not serious. The most serious thing about him was... it was broken.
This was not only painful, but also hurt his self-esteem. He felt that his life was about to reach a crossroads because of this farce. He cried and felt that he was so pitiful. He was just taking revenge.
How did he end up like this? At this time, in the dead of night, he cried for his "that thing", feeling so painful that he couldn't help himself. He was also thinking, how good it would be if all this hadn't happened. How good it would be if it was Zhuang Zhixi who went in.
Why didn't Zhuang Zhixi come?
During the day, he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He felt sick and didn't think about it, but now he was thinking about it. Who made him unable to sleep because of the pain? While he was worried about the future, he was also thinking about what he should do.
He always needs a very clear explanation. If not, this matter will probably not end.
He originally thought it was no big deal, but it was obvious that others didn't think so.
He rubbed his eyes and felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Struggle." The old man suddenly spoke at this time.
He actually couldn't sleep because of the pain.
"Dad." Bai Fendou said in a muffled voice. He was still a little unhappy. He felt that his father had done a bad job. He didn't even check if there was anyone inside and just pushed Jiang Lu in. Wasn't he harming his own son?
Bai Fendou: "Dad, I'm not saying anything bad about you. You did something wrong today. Why didn't you ask one more question? If you had asked one more question, and we had explained to Jiang Lu that it was a joke, wouldn't the following things have happened? Jiang Lu was so scared that she screamed when you pushed her like that, how could nothing have happened?"
He felt that it was all his father's fault.
Old man Bai got angry all of a sudden. This idea was proposed by Bai Fendou, and he just cooperated. He didn't do everything well and didn't call Zhuang Zhixi over. Now he was actually blaming him? He was the one who deserved the most injustice.
He felt so heartbroken that he gave birth to such a useless son.
He was also angry, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "I haven't said anything about you yet, but you are talking about me. Didn't you say that you would be prepared in advance? Why did things turn out like this? If you had knocked Zhuang Zhixi unconscious and stripped him and thrown him in there earlier, would there be all these things now? All of this should have been done by me, how did I fall short? It's obviously you who dropped the ball, and you still dare to blame me? Bai Fendou, how could I give birth to a bastard like you? The roots of our Bai family are going to be cut off!"
The old white man burst into tears.
Special sincerity.
After all, this is related to the inheritance of the Bai family! "You're a waste!"
