Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Changzong wants to do his job, Hongguo is nervous...
Gu Changzong acted as if nothing had happened and assured Hongguo that nothing would happen. He arranged dinner, boiled water for Hongguo to take a bath, gave the little one a bath, and coaxed him to sleep.
It's summer, and the kids can't go to bed so early. They pester the adults to play and move the bamboo beds and chairs to the yard to cool off. Changzong is afraid of the heat and wants to go back to his room to enjoy the air conditioning, while Hongguo wants to enjoy the natural breeze. When asked to go back to his room, he refuses and feels comfortable staying in the yard with the light from the main room.
This summer, Hongguo discovered that as long as the little one was around, there would be no mosquitoes and there was no need to light mosquito coils. She was secretly happy and didn't say anything about it.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, the little one was still very energetic. Changzong had decided to take him back to his own room and let him play by himself if he wanted. The little one whined and was unwilling to do so. Just then, Lao Zheng came back, and the little one became energetic again. He climbed down from the bamboo chair and ran to Lao Zheng to be held.
Old Zheng usually has no desires, but he dotes on the little one. He picked up the little one and said to Changzong, "He is still young and so sensible. You are a little too strict."
Changzong said, "I paid you for the small amount of money you brought with you. Why are you still meddling in my affairs?"
Hongguo had already gone to the kitchen to get a watermelon and cut it up. She thought to herself that the expense Changzong was talking about must not be money.
The little one took a piece of watermelon and started to eat it.
Old Zheng came over to talk about what he had done. He didn't even avoid Hongguo and Xiaobudian, and talked about the affairs of the Yu siblings in a casual tone.
"Your second uncle drove your car to chase after Old Man Feng, and I went to find the hotel to look for the Yu siblings."
Hongguo took the watermelon and ate it silently. If they wanted to talk in front of her, she would listen. That's how Lao Jiao guessed what happened to Guizhi.
Gu Changzong picked out all the watermelon seeds with a toothpick, handed it to Hong Guo, and asked Lao Zheng: "What happened next? You are so slow, didn't you do it well?"
"How could it be." Old Zheng took the second piece of watermelon, obviously in a good mood: "I only told the Yu siblings that they indulged old man Feng in revenge and went too far. A pot of rat poison soup killed eight people. It happened after old man Feng got rich and returned home. Four sons, daughters-in-law and eight people died, leaving only the child. The police can't help but investigate Old Feng. Even if Old Feng can clear the suspicion, the Yu siblings' fight for territory in Pingzhou and the resulting death will be uncovered. The wise thing to do is to sacrifice the car to save the king."
Chang Zong felt that the Yu siblings were not that stupid: "Being investigated by the police and losing Lao Feng, they wouldn't be so stupid as to give up Lao Feng, right?"
Old Zheng smiled with contempt: "Do you think that her brother and sister really regard Old Man Feng as their father?"
"No, do you really think everyone is as lucky as me to meet Hong Guo?"
"Guizhi has a good life." said Lao Zheng.
"Let's talk about things." Changzong continued to concentrate on using a toothpick to pick watermelon seeds for Hongguo.
"That brother and sister have already found out the list of passengers who overturned with you. Old man Feng is so old that he is about to be abandoned by them. I was still at the scene. Old man Feng was held hostage by sister Yu Haiyi and confronted the police led by your second uncle. Your second uncle tried to comfort him and said that he was just looking for him to ask some questions. Old man Feng, on the other hand, said that he used money to make his sons quarrel with each other. Although the accident with rat poison was not caused by him, he was very happy and wanted to kill Yu Haiyi. The police had no choice but to shoot Old Feng on the spot. You see, this trick of using a knife to silence the witness, the Yu family brother and sister did not hesitate at all. They asked Old Feng to die, and he died."
Hong Guo felt uneasy. How could she tell her these words? This was a serious case involving eight people.
Old man Feng was shot dead by the police. Old Zheng must have been questioned before being allowed to come back. He and Changzong talked and listened, just like killing a chicken or a fish tomorrow. Are the two of them planning any action?
Hongguo lowered her head, took the second piece of watermelon from Changzong's hand, and told him not to pick the seeds anymore. She said, "Eat this one, I won't eat any more."
Chang Zong filled a plate of watermelon for Lao Zheng: "Go home and eat. We are going to sleep."
Old Zheng nodded and was about to leave when Hong Guo hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Old Zheng, what do you and Chang Zong think about Xiao Sun?"
Old Zheng was not concerned: "Xiao Sun gave the Yu siblings a lot of counterproductive ideas. Old Feng said to throw her away, so she will be taken back to Pingzhou and truly missing."
Hongguo felt a chill, Changzong hugged her and held her close to him, frowning at Lao Zheng: "You scared Guoguo, leave my house immediately."
Old Zheng looked puzzled: "She asked, if she is soft-hearted, I will intervene."
Changzong looked at Hongguo, waiting for her opinion.
Hong Guo hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, these are just our guesses. Everyone has their own destiny. If you interfere, there will be consequences. Don't meddle in other people's business."
Lao Zheng looked relieved: "That's good, otherwise it would be really troublesome."
Hongguo has roughly figured it out. The siblings of the Yu family are very smart and ruthless. They happened to meet Xiaosun, and after a few moves, they wanted to take over Changzong. Thinking that Lao Feng was there, they were so arrogant that they actually came to the provincial capital. If it weren't for the second uncle who happened to be helping to investigate Lao Feng, they wouldn't have known that the siblings of the Yu family were here.
Old Feng, under the influence of the Yu siblings, was also ruthless. He took revenge on all four sons and wives, but the Yu siblings gave up on him.
Hongguo felt a little uncomfortable. The Yu siblings asked Lao Feng to die, and he really died.
Changzong coaxed the little one to sleep, and came to see Hongguo still in a daze, feeling very helpless. Guoguo was timid and soft-hearted, and thought a lot, so she thought there was nothing to regret about Old Feng's incident.
Gu Changzong looked at her eagerly: "Guoguo, do you think that Lao Zheng and I are no longer normal people?"
Changzong tried to hide it before, probably because it was something he was going to do later and he couldn’t hide it, so he wanted to see if she was afraid?
Hong Guo was not afraid at all. She pulled him to her side and said in a nonchalant tone, "There are not many normal people in this world. Everyone hides well. Do you think the Yu brothers and sisters are normal? Are those vicious criminals considered human beings? Are human traffickers considered human beings? So just being abnormal is really not a big deal. As long as you don't commit a crime, I like you whether you are normal or not."
Changzong is so happy, he has the right to laugh because he met Hongguo.
"Guoguo, for the next period of time, I'm going to go out with Lao Zheng and find some friends."
Were they going to do something big? So they needed to find someone? Hong Guo's fingertips were numb, she was nervous, she couldn't ask, she wanted to be like Lao Jiao, if she wanted to know something, she could figure it out herself.
She nodded repeatedly: "Then do it as soon as possible, don't make our friends wait too long."
Gu Changzong smiled and said, "Okay, once Dian Dian catches Zhou, Lao Zheng and I will set off."
Changzong wants to do his real work. Hongguo is nervous, but she is very supportive. If Changzong doesn't go, will people like the Yu siblings get there first?
Diandian's one-year-old birthday celebration was going to be held in the next few days. Hongguo wanted Changzong to leave earlier, so she said that she would hold the celebration in advance. The second uncle notified Changzong to go and get the car, and said that he would come over to hold the celebration for Diandian, but Changzong refused.
"Uncle, I regret going home to look for you that night. Look, I've helped you ward off disasters twice, and it's almost evened out. You've been catching thieves for half your life, don't let them end badly. Be careful next time. I can't be so lucky to ward off disasters for you every time, and I don't want to."
How can you say that? The second uncle was so angry that he had nothing to say. Thinking about how his family had never treated him well since he was a child, the second uncle sighed and said, "Tell my second aunt to send a gift in advance. Don't refuse it."
Chang Zong still refused: "If you accept it, you have to treat me to a meal. Don't give it as a gift. I don't need your gold."
Chang Zong drove his second uncle away in anger. Seeing his second uncle slamming the car door in anger, Hong Guo was worried: "Chang Zong, is this okay? My second uncle and second aunt are actually fine."
Gu Changzong chuckled and kissed Hongguo on the cheek: "They chose me. If they insist that I was like this before, then I will treat them the same way as before."
Changzong became more and more opinionated, and Hong Guobai was worried, so she happily prepared for the little one's one-year-old celebration.
There was no need to invite Changzong's relatives, and Hongguo had no relatives in the provincial capital, so only Old Zheng, Little Zheng, and Grandma Kong were invited.
Sister Shan has recovered and came over to help. She also said that she has found a job that she likes very much.
"I found a nursing job." Sister Shan raised her eyebrows, then regained her previous optimism and said, "He's an old cadre. I have nursing experience. Working for a family like this will help me build some connections. I can also support my daughter in the future."
Hongguo thought that Sister Shan would go to Shenzhen with Lao Chen. Sister Shan was much stronger and more independent-minded than she thought. Hongguo did not ask about Lao Chen so as not to make Sister Shan sad.
"Big sister, this is good. You have something to do and can stay at home to take care of our daughter. When you get the chance, you might earn more than Lao Chen."
Sister Shan smiled and said, "Don't think too much. Keep yourself busy first. When you are busy, you won't have any random thoughts. Hongguo, I am telling you this for your own good. No matter how good a man is, he is not as good as you. There is nothing to say about your Changzong, but you'd better do something of your own and don't put all your thoughts on him."
Gu Changzong was cooking in the kitchen. He couldn't stand it anymore and ran out without giving anyone face: "Sister Shan, if you keep saying that, I will hold a grudge against you."
Sister Shan laughed and said, "This guy is still impatient. You can bear a grudge. For Hongguo's future, I am not afraid of you bearing a grudge."
Chang Zong also had times when he was at a loss. Hong Guo smiled, pushed him back to the kitchen, pinched his palm, and whispered, "I won't listen to Sister Shan. After Diandian's birthday, you should finish your business as soon as possible and come back to accompany me."
Gu Changzong nodded. If he didn’t want to let the Yu siblings do whatever they want, he would not go out.
There weren't many people at Diandian's first birthday party, so only one table of dishes needed to be prepared. Old Zheng, Xiao Zheng, and Sister Shan all helped, and in more than an hour, before twelve o'clock, they had prepared a table of food.
