Meng Sheng knocked on the gate of Meng Jiefang's house, and it was the hostess Hong Ying who opened the door.
She was still wearing her police uniform, half-high-heeled leather shoes, and her hair was neatly tied back. Although she was over 40, her figure was still slim, and her face showed no trace of time. Instead, she had an elegance and composure that came with the passage of time.
You can tell at a glance that this is a woman who has been favored by life.
However, the adult world is usually very complicated, and Meng Sheng will not make any conclusions about this.
He just pretended to be an honest young man from the village and stood aside dully.
While her parents-in-law were still alive, Hong Ying would go to Mengjia Village with her husband and children once or twice a year to visit the elderly. Over time, everyone who was even slightly related to them knew each other, and when they saw the two of them, they would greet them with a smile, "Brother, Sheng Wazi is here.
You must be exhausted after the journey, come inside and sit down."
Meng Sheng suppressed his thoughts and went straight inside. Meng Chengliang drove the ox cart into the yard behind him to settle down. He just felt that the older this kid got, the more tactless he became in his words and actions.
But after all, he was not his own child, so he didn't say much.
Hong Ying was a thoughtful person, and she quickly prepared warm water and towels for the two of them to wash.
Meng Chengliang looked around the yard while washing his hands and face. Seeing only his 13- or 14-year-old niece Meng Huan and his three-year-old nephew Meng Le coming out of the inner room, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, where are the Jiefang people?
Haven't you finished work yet? "
Hong Ying brought out a plate of sliced ​​watermelon from the kitchen and replied, "The bureau has been very busy recently, and he hasn't been home for several days.
I'm still being interrogated at the police station, but I heard that it's almost over, so it shouldn't be too busy to just wrap it up.
When the meal is ready, ask Huanhuan to call him back to have a couple of drinks with Big Brother."
After hearing this, Meng Sheng roughly knew what they were busy with.
In my previous life, I was arrested at the same time as you, and several other prisoners who were convicted of speculation and profiteering were sent to prison together. At first, we were assigned to the same cell.
When they had nothing to do, they would chat and one by one would inevitably talk about the reason why they came in. Therefore, Meng Sheng knew that some of these people were unlucky because they took big steps in business, while others were not wronged at all because they bought at low prices and resold at high prices to take advantage of loopholes in the times.
This time when Meng Sheng came to the county town, in addition to looking for opportunities to deal with Meng Jiefang and others, another thing he wanted to do was to empty one of the secret warehouses that was used for buying and reselling, because he owed his broken leg in his previous life to him.
This man is called Yu Yong. He is the son of an official with a very strong background, otherwise he would not have committed such a crime.
He was reported to prison by his wife, who was a good match for him.
Of course, it was not because his wife discovered the clues and killed her own family for the sake of justice, but because Yu Yong was lustful and angered people.
The sweet and happy newlywed days were turned into chaos within a year because of the mistress and the concubine.
A woman with money and strong backing will take revenge differently from ordinary people. When she is extremely disappointed, she will start looking for someone to collect evidence of her husband's illegal activities, and then send him directly to prison.
However, Yu Yong heard the news before the incident and hid most of his wealth. However, he had a close friend who knew the inside story, so the amount of money involved in the case found by the police would not be reduced at all just because they could not find the money.
It was only after he had been in prison for quite some time, and was sure that no one in his family could get him out, that he finally confessed the hiding place of his valuables in an effort to have his sentence reduced by five years.
However, people with money and power have a much better life in prison than ordinary prisoners.
Relying on the constant supply of supplies, Yu Yong quickly gathered a group of subordinates inside, and would deal with anyone he disliked.
Prison is a concentration camp for prisoners, and the dark struggles inside are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Thinking of the suffering he had endured in there, Meng Sheng's eyes darkened.
In the final analysis, it is because I had no money and power in my previous life that I was manipulated at will by others, and I felt so miserable in both life and death.
Now that he has been reborn and has no power over him, he cannot let go of the money, especially the money that can make his enemy spend a few more years in prison.
Meng Chengliang didn't know what Meng Sheng was thinking. He came here just to talk to his younger brother. After hearing what Hong Ying said, he said, "Work is important. I'll go find him.
It's almost lunchtime at the bureau now. I bought some cooked food and will take some to the bureau to eat with Jiefang in their cafeteria."
Since they were all family members who came and went frequently, Hong Ying did not try to persuade them, but just gestured for everyone to eat melons.
Meng Chengliang ate a piece of watermelon to quench his thirst, teased his two nephews and nieces for a while, then took a roast chicken and some braised meat and went to the Public Security Bureau.
Before leaving, she made arrangements for Meng Sheng: "Sheng, stay here and see if there is anything you can do to help your aunt."
Meng Sheng knew what he was going to say to Meng Jiefang, but regretted that he couldn't leave a record of what he was saying, so he replied honestly, "I know, Uncle Liang, just go!"
Hong Ying watched the man walk away, closed the gate, turned around and said to Meng Sheng with a smile: "Don't listen to your uncle Liang, what can I do for you?
Go to the main room and watch TV for a while. Don't be shy when you come to my aunt's house. I'll go cook."
After saying that, he instructed his daughter Meng Huan to entertain the guests, and then went to the kitchen to busy himself.
Meng Huan would go to the countryside to play during every winter and summer vacation, and often went up the mountains and down the rivers with his brothers and sisters in the village. Therefore, he was quite familiar with Meng Sheng and readily agreed to his mother's arrangement.
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was taught to be sensible and enthusiastic. She smiled and called Meng Sheng "cousin". She was busy turning on the TV, moving stools, and even took a popsicle from the refrigerator and handed it to Meng Sheng.
Three-year-old Meng Le is a sturdy and cute boy, following his sister around with a chubby face.
You can tell at a glance that the two siblings have a very good relationship.
Meng Huan, feeling that he had taken care of the guests, stuffed a piece of watermelon into Meng Le's mouth and sat down to watch TV. Seeing that his brother was quiet, he asked Meng Sheng in a low voice: "Cousin, are there any sweet potato bubbles left in the mountains?
Are the wild pears ripe?
Are the wild grapes and wild jujubes ready to eat?"
The climate is different every year, and the time when these wild fruits ripen is not exactly the same.
Meng Sheng had just been reborn and didn't pay any attention to any of this. He just ate his ice cream and said perfunctorily, "I'm an adult now. I work in the fields every day and didn't pay much attention, but it should be cooked now!"
Meng Huan heard this and shouted to his mother in the kitchen, "Mom, I want to go to the village with my uncle tomorrow!"
"You wish. Take good care of your brother at home!" Hong Ying's voice mixed with the sound of cutting vegetables came from the kitchen.
Hearing this, Meng Huan glared at Meng Le, who was glued to the TV, and complained, "Ever since I had you, I've been constantly surrounded by you. I don't even have time to play!"
Having said that, he saw that his younger brother's face was covered with watermelon juice, so he took a handkerchief and wiped it carefully.
The chubby little boy Meng Le turned around and gave his sister a big smile, stretching out his arms to indicate that he wanted to be hugged.
Meng Huan snorted in dissatisfaction: "You're as fat as a pig, and you still want someone to hold you!"
After she finished speaking, she bent down and picked up the person with great effort, holding him in her arms. The scene of the two siblings loving each other made Meng Sheng feel that it was a bit cruel to try to break it all.
But in just a moment, he put this feeling behind his mind. He couldn't just let go of the suffering and life he lost in his previous life.
