Chapter 568 Something Happened
He didn't even want to listen to what she said.
It was the first time that the young couple parted on bad terms. When Lu Yuanzheng returned in the afternoon, his son-in-law was not at home, and the two children were playing by themselves as usual.
But the atmosphere of the entire courtyard was indescribably depressed.
Lu Yuanzheng looked at Tang Mei: "What happened?"
Tang Mei, who was washing clothes by the well, shook her head and winked at him to stop asking.
Lu Yuanzheng understood.
This is a quarrel.
He lowered his voice and approached the well:
"Didn't you give me some advice? You're still pregnant, how can you act like usual?"
"If I go and try to persuade them, wouldn't that mean I'm taking sides? Let's wait and see tonight. The couple is on good terms, so maybe things will be fine."
Lu Yuanzheng thought so too, but still said:
"When I say advice, I mean you should comfort the girl and don't let anything bad happen to her... The doctor at the hospital told her that women should stay cheerful whether they're pregnant or not, especially if they are."
Tang Mei said: "I see, don't I know more about this than you?"
Although Tang Mei has never experienced childbirth, she is still a woman after all.
Lu Yuanzheng nodded and stopped talking about the topic:
"I need to talk to Xiao Fu about something. Since he's not at home, I'm going back to school. When he comes back later, tell him to come find me."
"OK."
Lu Yuanzheng turned around and left again.
Let’s talk about the other side.
Fu Jingyou went out with his jacket in hand and bought a pack of cigarettes and matches from the supply and marketing cooperative at the back of the alley.
He struck a match to light the cigarette, took a puff, frowned, and coughed twice.
He shook the cigarette butt, then started smoking again as he left the supply and marketing cooperative.
I happened to see a familiar looking young postman passing by on his bicycle. I saw him stop and asked:
"Are you Fu? The one at 19 Qingta Hutong?"
Fu Jingyou lowered his brows in annoyance and nodded:
"What's the matter?"
"There's a phone number for your home, from the south!"
After hearing this, Fu Jingyou put away his cigarette and followed him to the post office.
I called back and it was Hu Zhiyuan who answered.
"Hey, is that Brother Xiao Fu?"
"Um."
"You should have received the things I sent you a few days ago, right? How are they? Are there many broken items?"
"Most of them are fine. Tell me, what is it?"
On the other end of the phone, Hu Zhiyuan also heard that Fu Jingyou's tone was not good, and thought that he had disturbed Fu Jingyou.
Hu Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and made a long story short:
"You didn't answer the last time I called you. I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, so I figured I should tell you."
"When I went to the village to harvest wild cherries, I also went to your Dahe Village. That uncle, Captain Hongjin, seemed to be in a bad state..."
Fu Jingyou frowned, tightened his grip on the microphone, and immediately became serious:
"What's not good? Why is it not good?"
"It looks like a stroke..."
Fu Jingyou did not let Hu Zhiyuan disturb the old couple in his hometown about the cherry matter.
I’m afraid that they will worry and ask more questions afterwards.
He Hongjin suffered a stroke, and the old couple were also afraid that Hu Zhiyuan had contact with Fu Jingyou.
When Hu Zhiyuan went to take a look, he specifically instructed not to let Fu Jingyou know.
But Hu Zhiyuan's relationship with Fu Jingyou is obviously closer.
The old couple of the He family are equivalent to Fu Jingyou's parents. Can Hu Zhiyuan hide it from Fu Jingyou?
Of course not.
After much hesitation, this phone call came about.
"I see."
Things kept coming one after another, and Fu Jingyou rubbed his forehead tiredly, "I'll take some time to go back one of these days."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Jingyou returned home with a heavy heart.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard that his father-in-law was looking for him.
Fu Jingyou pushed his bicycle, asked Tang Mei to lock the gate, and then rushed to the president's office of Renmin University.
Lu Yuanzheng came to him to tell him something.
Liu Yunshu has been found.
She wanted to leave the country, but when she applied for the Hong Kong Island procedures, she was blocked by the Foreign Affairs Department because she had falsified the information.
The foreign affairs team could not get anything out of her during the interrogation, so they had to ask the public security to intervene. After a round of investigation, Liu Yunshu was also arrested.
Fu Jingyou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Liu Yunshu had been caught.
Lu Yuanzheng said, "There's news from the Public Security Bureau that Liu Yunshu wants to see you."
Fu Jingyou shook his head decisively and refused:
"I'm not familiar with her, there's no need to meet her."
That's the truth.
Fu Jingyou really didn't expect that the Liu family's affairs would involve human lives.
But as for the result, this result is what the Liu father and daughter deserve.
No one forces them to do bad things, and no one forces them to embezzle.
Lu Yuanzheng nodded.
After stretching his shoulders, Lu Yuanzheng put aside his usual dignity and showed a rare amiable attitude in front of his son-in-law:
"Did you have a fight at noon?"
Fu Jingyou frowned and nodded barely audibly:
"She wanted to keep the baby, but I disagreed."
Speaking of this, Fu Jingyou looked at his father-in-law and said:
"Dad, you should also persuade her."
"Persuasion takes time. This is your family's business. Your aunt and I can only play a peripheral role."
Lu Yuanzheng tapped the table meaninglessly with his index finger and continued:
"Go back and have a good conversation. Don't be so anxious. If you have anything to say, speak calmly. She's not in good health, so give her some space."
Lu Yuanzheng said the last sentence subtly out of selfish motives.
Fu Jingyou understood what he meant.
The father-in-law doesn't want to interfere too much in their lives.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing, such as in the present moment.
"If you have nothing else to do, go back and have a good night's rest before returning to school tomorrow."
"I'm going to take a few more days off."
Fu Jingyou briefly talked about the situation in his hometown.
The grace of giving birth and the grace of raising are equally great.
The old couple of the He family are his parents.
Lu Yuanzheng understood and approved his leave.
"Dad, go back more often these days. Miaomiao is not afraid of your aunt, and he still cares about you."
Fu Jingyou was talking about what happened after he left.
Lu Yuanzheng understood and said "hmm".
After finishing the business, Fu Jingyou was about to leave, but Lu Yuanzheng stopped him again:
"Wait a moment."
"What else?"
Lu Yuanzheng unlocked the drawer under the desk and took out a metal box.
The box was neatly packed without any marks.
Fu Jingyou opened his mouth to speak, but Lu Yuanzheng didn't give him a chance:
"Don't pull it. This is Xiaobao's little gift to his parents-in-law. Buy something and bring it back. It won't look good if you go back empty-handed."
A stack of twenty-two bills, exactly last month's salary.
Lu Yuanzheng stood up, opened Fu Jingyou's jacket pocket, and stuffed everything in.
"Don't feel pressured. We're all family and we can all see how you treat Xiaobao."
Fu Jingyou felt a little emotional and complicated.
The father-in-law really didn't treat him as an outsider.
"I understand, Dad. I'll go back first."
"Go ahead, take care of things back home and come back. You don't have to worry about home."
"Um."
…
Fu Jingyou went to buy a ticket before going home to pack his things.
The child's issue has not been finalized yet.
Both he and Lu Miao needed to calm down and think carefully.
Liu Yunshu's crisis has been completely resolved. These few days may be a good opportunity.
