Chapter 21 Chapter 21 It is inevitable to see things that you shouldn’t see…
At the same time, Song Guanshu got on the bus back to the steel plant's staff quarters.
The water in the basin was a little cooler, so Jiang Ling added hot water from the thermos into it.
I have to say, it's really nice when Song Guanshu is not at home. She can take as long as she wants to take a shower, and she can even let herself go without wearing any underwear.
After washing her body and simply wiping it with a towel, she put on a short-sleeved shirt. It was warm at home now, so she wouldn't feel cold just wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
Song Guanshu carried the key with him, so he didn't need to ask Jiang Ling or Uncle Sun to open the door for him.
After opening the door with the key, he went straight to the west wing.
Seeing the curtains drawn early, he wondered, is Jiang Ling preparing to go to bed so early?
Song Guanshu didn't expect the bedroom to be locked, so he just used his normal strength. Then he heard a click and the bolt was pulled down by him.
Jiang Ling, who was washing her hair, didn't expect someone to break in and screamed in fright.
"It's me."
The moment Song Guanshu opened the door, he saw everything inside the bedroom clearly and quickly closed the door again.
As a landlord, Grandpa Sun has the responsibility to protect his tenants, especially since Song Guanshu told him that he would be on a business trip for a few days and asked him to help look after Jiang Ling.
He didn't have time to put on his clothes. He just wore a pair of shorts and rushed out with a flashlight in his hand.
When Grandpa Sun saw that the door of the west wing was opened, he thought that a thief had broken into the house and wanted to bully the young wife of the Song family.
Song Guanshu explained to Grandpa Sun who rushed out, "I left something at home and Jiang Ling thought I was a thief."
So that's how it is. Grandpa Sun went back in his slippers.
Despite the loud noise coming from the opposite door, the Liu family in the east wing didn't even turn on the lights.
While Song Guanshu went out to explain to Grandpa Sun, Jiang Ling simply tidied herself up.
There was still water dripping from her head. She held her wet hair in her hands. "Why are you back?"
Hearing Song Guanshu's voice, she felt much more at ease.
Song Guanshu's gaze didn't seem to be focused anywhere. Jiang Ling's clothes were not long enough to cover her buttocks, leaving her snow-white, slender thighs completely exposed.
But if you stare at Jiang Ling's face, you will inevitably see parts that you shouldn't see.
"I left my train ticket at home."
Jiang Ling didn't expect that this was the reason. "Then take the ticket and go back quickly."
Song Guanshu took out the train ticket and put it in his pocket. "Lock the door when I'm not home."
Jiang Ling muttered, "I locked it, but you pulled it open in one go."
His tone was unusually serious. "Lock the outermost door as well. Lock both doors."
His tone was like scolding a child. Jiang Ling didn't want to listen and wanted to chase him away. "I know. I'll lock it well next time. Take your ticket and leave quickly. You won't be able to catch the train if you're late."
Song Guanshu glanced at his watch and said, "No hurry, I'll fix this lock first."
There was no tool like a screwdriver at home, so he went to borrow one from Grandpa Sun who had just climbed onto the kang.
Grandpa Sun heard the noise and got up again.
Song Guanshu was generous, paying a lot of rent and never defaulting on payments, so Grandpa Sun was naturally willing to return the favor.
"It's okay. I'll lock the outside tonight and ask Grandpa Sun to help fix it tomorrow. You can hurry up and catch the train."
This man was still repairing the latch slowly and Jiang Ling began to wonder if he didn't want to go to the Canton Fair with his colleagues.
Song Guanshu was very efficient and quickly fixed the latch inside the door. "Remember to lock the door. If you need any help, call the neighbors for help."
"I know, I know."
He pushed the person out and waved to the people outside the door through the window.
Song Guanshu calculated the time and got on the train before it started.
The deputy director bought a hard sleeper like the other workers in the factory, and all the workers in the daily chemical factory were in the same carriage.
Wang Qiang, who is also a technician, said, "I almost thought you were going to miss it. Why did you take so long to get back?"
Song Guanshu smiled and said, "The door lock at home is broken. My wife doesn't know how to fix it. I saw that there is still time, so I will fix the door lock first."
I originally thought that this young man was a little rash. How could he have left his train ticket at home? It almost affected his work at the factory. I didn't have a good impression of him.
When the leaders heard about how Song Guanshu repaired the door locks for his family before leaving, they had different opinions. However, the only eldest sister in the group praised him, "Xiao Song really loves his wife. That's right."
Although men and women are equal, there is still some discrimination against women in technical work. Technician Sister Li is the only female comrade on a business trip. In addition to her strong skills, her family has some background.
So even though she was just an ordinary technician, even the leaders did not dare to underestimate what she said.
They all echoed, "Yes, our factory needs young people like this."
Song Guanshu doesn't care about other people's opinions, even his leader.
If Jiang Ling was here, she would have noticed that he had a fake smile on his face again.
This group of people will stay in Guangzhou for seven days. This is the first time for the daily chemical factory to participate in the Canton Fair. They are not familiar with the procedures of the fair. They are not participating in the exhibition but just want to see the world and communicate with peers.
Leaders greet people everywhere and build relationships, and ordinary technicians only need to follow behind them.
Most of the time everyone had to hang out at the exhibition. Apart from the free time during the exhibition, Song Guanshu's colleagues couldn't stay in the hotel and wanted to go around for a walk.
Song Guanshu politely declined his colleagues' invitation to go with them, but after his colleagues left the room, he also left the room as if possessed.
During this period, through the conversations of people around him, he knew where the commercial center was and which places were bustling.
The colleagues went shopping until very late before returning to the hotel. By that time, Song Guanshu had already left, and everyone thought he had stayed in the hotel the whole day.
I'm going back to North City tomorrow. It's so hard for me to go on a long trip, so I want to buy some local specialties for my family.
When I went out and looked around, I saw that all the things I didn't have at home were there. I wanted to buy them all, but I was short of money, so I had to make choices among them.
Wang Qiang still remembers Sister Li praising Song Guanshu for loving his wife. As a technician, he joined the factory early, in 1976. He was a worker-peasant-soldier university student and was a popular figure in the factory and the department at that time.
Who would have thought that the world changes so quickly? In just a few years, the country has restored the college entrance examination, and these workers, peasants and soldiers who were college students are no longer popular.
College students with relevant majors have become treasures, and Song Guanshu is the college student who replaced him in the factory.
He has always been at odds with Song Guanshu. You are both college students, so why should you be more valued by the factory?
Wang Qiang always finds all kinds of excuses to belittle him in front of his colleagues and leaders, "Why don't you buy a gift for your wife when you're out? Don't pretend to love your wife, but in fact you don't even want to spend money on her."
There were other colleagues in the room who thought Wang Qiang's words were rude. No matter whether Xiao Song was willing to spend money on his wife or not, it was their family affair and there was no need for a colleague like you to meddle in it.
Then Wang Qiang said, "It would be pitiful to be your wife. I bought a lot of things for my wife. You can choose one for your sister-in-law."
He opened the bag and let Song Guanshu choose.
This is actually a very humiliating behavior. Any man cannot stand this insult. How can you buy a gift for a colleague and then give it to your wife?
The other two colleagues sensed Wang Qiang's ill intentions and thought about how to mediate.
Song Guanshu smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll thank you on her behalf."
Not only did other colleagues not expect his reaction, even Wang Qiang was caught off guard.
In everyone's interactions, Song Guanshu is not a stingy person who likes to take advantage of others.
Compared to his colleagues' shock, Wang Qiang was the one who felt the most pain. None of the specialties he bought were cheap, and none were redundant. They were all carefully calculated to ensure that every family member could get some.
If he were to give it to Song Guanshu, it would mean that one person would not receive his specialty gift.
The scary thing is that he was the one who promised it, and he couldn't refuse in front of his colleagues.
Song Guanshu went out to buy some small things. He knew the price of each item, so he kindly chose the most expensive one among the items purchased by Wang Qiang.
"Thank you, my wife will like this specialty." He thanked with a smile.
Wang Qiang's heart was bleeding, because this was bought for his wife and it was also the most expensive one.
But he forced a smile and said, "As long as my sister-in-law likes it."
The next day, the group packed their luggage, checked out, and met at the hotel entrance.
Song Guanshu's package was very heavy and he had some difficulty carrying it. Wang Qiang felt that Song Guanshu was a gentleman who couldn't even carry a package, so he took the initiative to step forward and offer to help.
"Come, I'll help you. It's just a little extra, but it takes so much effort. The old saying is right, a scholar is useless."
"Need not."
Wang Qiang tried to pick it up, but he failed and the package nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, Song Guanshu was quick to help him.
He was shocked. "What's in your bag? Why is it so heavy?"
It wasn't that he was trying to restore his dignity, but Song Guanshu's bag was really heavy.
There was a hint of annoyance in Song Guanshu's voice, "When I had nothing to do, I went out and bought some local specialties to bring home." I accidentally bought too much.
His colleagues could all understand his behavior of buying local specialties to take home. It was the first time for everyone to come to Guangzhou and experience the different customs and culture. They wanted to show their families, so they bought local specialties for their families.
However, everyone felt that Wang Qiang was overreacting. It was just a luggage bag, how heavy could it be? He even used the word "very heavy".
"Did you go buy local specialties?!" He felt like someone had stepped on his tail.
Song Guanshu nodded as a matter of course, "Come out and buy some gifts for the family."
Wang Qiang almost broke down, "Since you bought the local specialties, how dare you ask for my things?"
There was a bit of pure kindness in his smile. "You insisted on giving it to me, and I was afraid that not accepting it would affect the relationship between my colleagues. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you were very generous and didn't care about these little things. Since you care so much about it, I will give it back to you now."
Wang Qiang is a man who cares a lot about his reputation. How could a grown man care about something worth a dozen dollars? If he told others about it, people would laugh at him.
So even though he clearly cared about it, he pretended to be generous and said, "What a joke! How could I possibly care..."
There was quite a commotion here, which attracted the factory leader's attention. "What's going on? Why is there so much noise?"
Song Guanshu smiled sincerely, "Brother Wang is such an open-minded person."
Now that he had given the factory leaders a clear go ahead, it would be even more impossible for Wang Qiang to get his things back.
On the train back, he looked at Song Guanshu with a look full of resentment.
Song Guanshu smiled back at him harmlessly.
The leaders and colleagues were not stupid. After a while, they figured out what was going on and started discussing privately whether Wang Qiang was targeting Xiao Song.
The train ride takes two days and two nights. I have already finished reading the newspapers I bought before getting on the train. There is no other entertainment, and the leaders cannot take the lead in playing cards, so gossip becomes the best way to pass the time.
Wang Qiang is older than Song Guanshu and has been working in the factory longer than Song Guanshu.
In the eyes of the leaders, Wang Qiang took advantage of his status as an old employee in the factory to bully the new young people.
Of course, this is not Wang Qiang’s fault. It’s just that Song Guanshu is too good at disguise.
In the eyes of the leader, this is just a harmless and well-behaved child.
Bullying happens all the time. There is bullying wherever there are people, and leaders don’t always like to meddle in other people’s business.
After all, Song Guanshu is a college student, a scarce resource, so he needs to be protected a little.
Wang Qiang himself could not have imagined that he lost a silk scarf worth more than ten yuan. Just because he glared at Song Guanshu a few times, the factory leaders wrote it down in a small notebook.
During the half month that Song Guanshu was away on a business trip, Jiang Ling lived a relatively leisurely life, except that there was no one to clean and cook.
She has to take the bus after get off work every morning and evening and cook for herself.
After the Canton Fair group got off the train, the deputy factory director, who had also been on the train for two days and two nights, gave the group a day off, saying, "Today is Friday, you don't have to come to the factory to work tomorrow. You can rest at home for two days, and we will have a meeting at the factory on Monday."
When Song Guanshu returned home, Jiang Ling had not yet finished get off work.
To be honest, although Jiang Ling is not as mysophobic as Song Guanshu and doesn't like cleaning, she also cleans up frequently.
The house is kept relatively clean.
Song Guanshu still picked up the rag and wiped it inside and out.
When Jiang Ling got home from get off work, she saw the doors and windows of her house were wide open, with water droplets still wet on the windows. She couldn't help but whistle, "Hey, the snail girl has come to our house."
"Let's eat noodles tonight, Song Guanshu. Dumplings on the bus, noodles on the bus. Let's eat hand-rolled noodles tonight to celebrate your return home."
Jiang Ling said she wanted to eat noodles, but she couldn't cook, so she had to ask Song Guanshu to come.
"good."
Jiang Ling was surprised why this person agreed so readily today. She looked up and saw Li Jun squatting in his kitchen looking at this side, and she immediately understood.
As expected, this man likes to pretend to be a man in front of outsiders.
As soon as Jiang Ling entered the room, she saw a mountain of luggage bags. She asked casually, "Did you bring me any specialties from Guangcheng?"
"It's in the bag, you can look for it yourself."
Jiang Ling was flattered. Although Song Guanshu told her to look through the luggage herself, she didn't dare to do it. She decided to wait until he was done. She just sat next to the luggage and took a look at it every once in a while. She was really curious about what gift Song Guanshu would bring her.
When Song Guanshu returned to the bedroom, he saw her with her hands on her knees, glancing at her luggage from time to time, looking incredibly well-behaved.
Finally, when Song Guanshu finished his work, Jiang Ling waved her hand and asked him to come over quickly, "Come quickly, I've been waiting for a long time."
He was cleaning and was worried that his sleeves would get dirty, so he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair and strong forearms.
He washed his hands again before entering the bedroom, and there were still crystal clear water droplets hanging on his arms.
Jiang Ling sat nearby, eyes wide open, waiting for the specialty gift.
He casually placed something wrapped in brown paper next to her. It was obviously for her. Jiang Ling opened it and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh, it's Cantonese sausage. Song Guanshu, you are really good at buying it. It smells so good."
When I bought it, I thought that she might have this reaction.
Jiang Ling held the sausage contentedly, "When I cook noodles tonight, I can cut two slices of sausage and put them in. It will definitely be delicious."
Song Guanshu did not stop rummaging through the bag. Jiang Ling looked at the specialties that filled half of the kang in disbelief. This travel bag was so large that it could hold so many things.
Moreover, it was not mentioned in the original book that Song Guanshu was a greedy person, and all the specialties he brought back were delicacies, including pineapple cakes, wife cakes, chicken biscuits, tangerine peel plums... and even a bag of Nestle chocolate.
After emptying the travel bag, at the bottom were the spare clothes that Song Guanshu had brought with him. They had already been flattened under the heavy pressure.
He took out everything from the travel bag, and finally a beautifully wrapped small gift box fell out.
Song Guanshu handed the gift box to Jiang Ling, "This is for you."
When she opened it, she saw a silk scarf. Jiang Ling's eyes almost popped out. This turned out to be a gift from Song Guanshu to her.
The shock made her look unrecognizable. Jiang Ling asked in disbelief, "Is this for me?"
This scarf feels smooth to the touch, but it's a bit ugly, with roses printed all over it.
Song Guanshu nodded, "It's for you."
"It was sent to you by Wang Qiang, a technician from our department."
Jiang Ling:? ? ?
"Why? Does he want to poach people?" Jiang Ling could only think of this possibility.
Song Guanshu glanced at her with a hint of disdain, admiring her for her rich imagination and her confidence in herself.
"He said, I didn't bring any gifts home when I was on a business trip, and you were very pitiful, so he insisted on giving you this scarf."
Although she still didn't quite understand the cause and effect, Jiang Ling was certain that Wang Qiang had definitely been tricked by Song Guanshu.
This is a free silk scarf. The more Jiang Ling looks at it, the more beautiful it becomes.
Jiang Ling praised sincerely, "Comrade Wang Qiang is such a good person. If I have the chance, I will definitely go to the technical department to thank him in person."
When he didn't even know it, he smiled and said, "He will definitely be very touched."
After asking Song Guanshu, she found out that she could also eat the cakes and snacks he brought back. Jiang Ling tasted a piece of pineapple cake and it was very sweet.
She was happy in her heart, and she spread the good words around without paying.
Song Guanshu was kneading dough by the stove, and Jiang Ling followed him with a piece of pineapple cake in her hand.
"This is the best pastry I've ever had in my life. Do you know why?"
Song Guanshu ignored her and just kept kneading the dough. Jiang Ling answered to herself, "Maybe it's because you bought the cakes, so they taste especially good."
He curled his lips, "Sweet talk."
Then he turned sideways, leaving only his back to her.
When she's free, Jiang Ling likes to tease him.
I haven't seen him for half a month, and I have no place to vent my anger.
Finally, having satisfied her craving, Jiang Ling did not follow him. Instead, she sat in front of the stove to light the fire. She would wait for Song Guanshu to cut the noodles and the water in the pot would boil, and then she could throw the noodles directly into the pot.
In the evening, I had a meal of hand-rolled noodles with Chinese sausage as the sauce. The noodles were smooth and chewy, and the noodle soup was sweet and clear.
Jiang Ling accidentally ate too much and collapsed on the kang. Song Guanshu was lying in bed reading a book. She curiously leaned over to take a look. It was a professional book that she couldn't understand.
The old saying that when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex is absolutely true. Now that she has enough food to eat and a place to sleep, she can think about some spiritual pursuits.
For example, after dinner, Jiang Ling was really bored. She looked at the ceiling and decided to keep up with the trend. She wanted to save money to buy a radio.
The next day was the weekend, and Song Guanshu could still rest at home for a day.
Since he brought back a lot of local specialties from Guangcheng and could stir-fry bacon and sausage for lunch, Jiang Ling did not go to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up to buy meat.
The spring sunshine was warm. After lunch, Jiang Ling sat on a small bench in the yard to bask in the sun.
Not only do workers have a day off on weekends, but students also don't go to school.
The two children from the Liu family next door are at home on vacation.
The two children are brother and sister. Liu Lei has no friends nearby, so his sister Liu Tong usually takes him out to play.
Jiang Ling had just closed her eyes, enjoying this rare quiet moment, when Liu Lei ran back from outside. Hearing the voice, she opened her eyes again.
Liu Lei ran to Li Jun with tears on his face and said, "Mom, I want to eat candy." Liu Tong followed behind him and protected him like a little nanny.
I guess he wanted to eat some too after seeing others eating candy.
Hearing her son coming home to ask for money to buy candy, Li Jun immediately started throwing things and beating her. "How can I have the spare money to buy candy for you? It's not easy for a woman like me to raise you two little ancestors. I only make 15 yuan a month and I have to support our family of four. Leilei and Tongtong, you guys should feel sorry for me. Mom really has no money."
Her mother-in-law, Old Lady Liu, was not at home, so after dinner she went to visit other people's homes, where she could chat and kill time. The hosts would occasionally give her some snacks, and she could take advantage of this.
After sending the two children away, Li Jun went back to lie on the kang. She worked during the day and had to cook when she got home, so she was very tired.
The two children were left in the yard by Li Jun. Liu Lei did not get any benefits from Jiang Ling. When she wanted to take advantage of him, she would not think of Jiang Ling first.
Therefore, even though they really wanted to eat candy, even though Jiang Ling was sitting in the yard, the brother and sister did not go up to her to ask for food.
They stood in the yard whispering, and Jiang Ling heard every word they said.
The younger one said indignantly, "I am obviously Dad's son, but he bought candy for that vixen's brother and sister instead of giving it to me."
The older one patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "We are dad's biological children after all. If you ask him for it, he won't refuse to give it to us."
"Come on, we asked him for money and food before, but he never gave us anything."
Liu Tong rolled her eyes and said, "You just want some candy, I have a solution."
After living in the family quarters for a while, Jiang Ling heard some gossip from Sister Juxiang that Section Chief Liu's current wife, Han Ruixue, had lost her parents, and her younger siblings were not yet adults, so Section Chief Liu was now supporting his brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Although Juxiang really disliked the advantage-taking Li Jun, she was still indignant when she talked about this matter. "Section Chief Liu is also a fool. How can he not support his own son, but instead raise his brother-in-law and sister-in-law as his own children? Can he still rely on his brother-in-law and sister-in-law for support when he is old?"
Before hearing what Juxiang said, Jiang Ling thought that Section Chief Liu's brother-in-law and sister-in-law were temporarily living in her sister and brother-in-law's house, which was not surprising.
When Jiang Ling had no place to live at home, Jiang Lian once invited her to live at home.
But it is not true to say that Section Chief Liu does not care about his own children. Jiang Ling has seen Section Chief Liu jump over the wall to the house opposite in the middle of the night more than once.
Going to my ex-wife's house in the middle of the night couldn't be for that kind of thing, so the only reason was to give her money.
Jiang Ling didn't tell this to her sister-in-law Juxiang because Juxiang was a big talker and as soon as she told others about it, Chief Liu's wife would know about it.
This seems to be a sign of offending Section Chief Liu's entire family.
She won't do anything that's thankless.
Jiang Ling felt a little sleepy with the warm sunshine shining on her body, so she went back home to take a nap.
Sunday is a rare leisure time. For example, she has no chance to lie down and sleep when she is at work. She can only lie on the table and take a nap for a while.
When Jiang Ling went to take a nap, Song Guanshu was still reading. Sometimes she admired his perseverance and his ability to study and make progress tirelessly, even if his purpose of reading was to cause trouble.
Taking a nap in the afternoon is a very comfortable and relaxing thing, like floating in the clouds. However, Jiang Ling had just fallen asleep when she was awakened by the noise outside.
She opened her eyes with difficulty, "What's wrong?"
She just woke up and spoke like a spoiled child.
Song Guanshu raised his head from his book and looked at Jiang Ling, who was lying in a small ball under the quilt. He then turned his gaze to the window and said, "Maybe someone is beating their child."
Beat the child? This is indeed a big commotion.
Seeing the noise getting louder and louder, Jiang Ling couldn't sleep anymore.
She pushed open the window and tried to identify the direction of the sound, just in time to see Li Jun from the opposite door hurried out.
Out of curiosity, she followed him out.
Li Jun did not stop and hurried to Section Chief Liu's house in the front yard.
Juxiang and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law from next door were also standing outside watching the fun. Jiang Ling was familiar with Juxiang, so she took the initiative to walk over and ask, "What happened?"
Juxiang watched the excitement for a while longer than she did. "The Liu family's brother and sister went to Section Chief Liu's house to steal something and were discovered by Qingzhu."
Logically speaking, the security department should be called when workers fight, but no one did.
How can this be called? One of the people fighting is the ex-wife of the security chief, and the other is his current wife. The young man in the security department cannot handle this matter, so he has to let Chief Liu take care of it.
Seeing his son and daughter being beaten unilaterally with brooms by the Han siblings, Li Jun became anxious. He went up to snatch the broom from Han Ruixue's hand and protected his children behind him.
The Han siblings were both thin and slender, and they looked inferior to the big and strong Li Jun.
"This thief woman raised two thieves." Han Ruixue put her hands on her waist and cursed, "I was wondering why money was always missing from our house, it turns out it was these two thieves who did it!"
Han Ruixue instructed her brother to call the police, "Qingzhu, go call the police and ask the security department to come over. Tell them there's a thief in our house."
Li Jun naturally could not give in. "Liu Lei and Liu Tong are both Lao Liu's children. It's only natural that they should eat and use their father's food and use his father. You are Lao Liu's daughter-in-law, so it's fine if you can't tolerate me, but they are Lao Liu's own flesh and blood. As the stepmother of the two children, how can you easily throw dirty water on them and say that they are thieves? Do you know how much psychological trauma this will cause to the children?"
At an angle where no one could see, Li Jun pinched Liu Tong hard. The little girl got the hint and burst into tears.
"My brother and I came to see dad. We didn't mean to steal any money, wuwuwuwu..."
People tend to favor the weak. The Liu siblings grew up under the watch of the people around them, and no one had ever heard of the two children having a habit of stealing things.
Because Section Chief Liu divorced his wife and married the young and beautiful Han Ruixue, everyone had a very bad impression of Han Ruixue, thinking that she was a vixen who corrupted good comrades.
Especially since the two families now clearly live in the front and back yards, Section Chief Liu supports his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, but ignores his own children.
Section Chief Liu is a good man who loves justice. No matter how the child behaves, it can only be because he was bewitched by a vixen.
When the neighbors saw the child crying, they all felt sympathy for Liu Tong and thought that Han Ruixue's attitude was a bit aggressive.
"Xiao Han, why don't you just forget it? Tongtong isn't someone who would steal money. Maybe you misunderstood her."
The onlookers wanted to give Han Ruixue a way out, so the matter was just let go.
Han Ruixue was almost knocked backwards. "You're talking nonsense! When we came in, you were holding money in your hand. It's obvious that our cash box has been rummaged through. Who else could it be but you two little thieves?"
The story goes back to an hour ago, when the Liu siblings failed to get the money from Li Jun.
Liu Lei kept asking for candy again. Liu Tong remembered that when she came back just now, she saw Han Ruixue in the front yard going to the bus stop to pick up Han Qingzhu, so there should be no one at home.
So I started to have a crooked idea.
She is not a child anymore and has the ability to think. She knows that is her father's home and even if she is caught, no one will do anything to her.
Of course, this was not the first time Liu Tong had done this. There had been several times in the past when she had sneaked into the house and stolen things when no one was home, and no one had ever discovered.
Even if you are caught by the neighbors, just say you are going to see Section Chief Liu.
She developed this habit, and whenever she wanted money, she would sneak in when the Han siblings were not at home.
However, he was unlucky this time and was caught red-handed by Han Ruixue and Han Qingzhu.
It was a rare holiday, so Section Chief Liu went out and had no idea that something big had happened at home. Miao Jinhui looked for him everywhere.
It was not easy for Miao Jinhui. The neighbors could gather around Section Chief Liu's house to watch the fun, but he couldn't.
He is a worker in the Security Department, and Section Chief Liu is his direct supervisor.
When his leader’s ex-wife and current wife fight, which one should he help? It would be inappropriate to help either one, so finding a reason to avoid them is the best option.
Han Ruixue's hair was pulled out by Li Jun, and she stretched out her Nine Yin White Bone Claw and hit Li Jun's face.
Han Ruixue is tall and slender, and cannot compare to Li Jun in terms of strength, but she has the advantage of being tall and having long legs.
In a one-on-one fight, Han Ruixue was at a disadvantage as Li Jun pinned her down and slapped her in the face.
Her brother and sister were also weird. The younger brother Qingzhu ignored the difference between men and women and went forward to grab Li Jun. Liu Lei and Liu Tong saw that their mother was about to be bullied, so they held Han Qingzhu's legs to prevent him from going forward.
Han Qingzhu had no awareness of not hitting children, and he kicked each one of them far away.
Several women thought his behavior was wrong and stood up to criticize him, saying, "No matter what, you can't hit a child."
At this time, Old Lady Liu, who had gone out to chat, squeezed into the battlefield. As soon as she came in, she saw her beloved grandson being kicked away by Han Qingzhu.
The old lady was a good fighter when she was young. She picked up a fire poker beside her and hit Han Qingzhu with it, leaving black marks on his body.
Han Ruixue's siblings are a pair of twins, Han Hongmei is the older sister and Han Qingzhu is the younger brother.
Han Hongmei saw that her sister and brother were both suffering in the fight, so she naturally couldn't just stand by and watch, but she was afraid of being beaten.
So he looked at the neighbors who were watching and said, "Uncles and aunts, please help me. My elder sister and younger brother are weak and can't stand this. Please help separate them."
No one wants to get involved in such a difficult matter that would make people feel uncomfortable.
But a young man stood up. He was the second son of Juxiang's uncle. He was two years older than Han Hongmei, but was her classmate.
The young man couldn't hide the look in his eyes when he looked at the girl he liked. Everyone could tell at a glance that the young man was interested in Han Hongmei.
If nothing happened, I wouldn't have discovered it.
The three siblings of the Han family are all good-looking, so it is normal for the young man to admire them.
But the Han siblings have a bad reputation in the family quarters. Han Ruixue doesn't do housework and waits for men to serve her. No family wants such a daughter-in-law.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Miao family's face turned dark. She called out twice but failed to call her son back.
If the young man wants to show off in front of his sweetheart, even his mother can't stop him.
In order to stand out among the many suitors, Miao Aijun used all his strength to separate Han Ruixue and Li Jun on the ground.
The two people on the ground had been beaten beyond recognition. Han Ruixue's hair was messed up and large clumps of hair were pulled out.
Li Jun's face was scratched into pieces by Han Ruixue's nails.
Miao Aijun stood on Han Hongmei's side and would definitely side with Han Ruixue, so Li Jun was tickled twice more.
She was annoyed that Miao Aijun was helping the Han siblings. He was also her neighbor, but why was he helping the Han siblings? He must be like Lao Liu, bewitched by the little vixen of the Han family.
When Li Jun fights with men, she cannot match their strength, but she is clever. She attacks the lower body and intends to cripple the man from the beginning.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Miao family could blame her stupid son in her heart, but she would not allow anyone to turn her son into a eunuch under her nose.
So without hesitation, Mrs. Miao also rushed forward.
Li Jun saw that more and more people were standing around the vixen brother and sister of the Han family. She had more people and more power on her side, so she cursed, "Li Erhua, what does this have to do with you? Why are you interfering?"
There is no good thing to say when scolding each other. Li Jun said something without thinking, "Your son has a crush on the little vixen of the Han family, and you have a crush on the male vixen of the Han family!"
This curse was a bit too harsh. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Mrs. Miao was trying to help her son, but in Li Jun's words, it became that she had taken a fancy to Han Qingzhu.
Han Qingzhu was about the same age as Miao Dasao's son, and the people watching shook their heads in disapproval.
Li Jun was busy fighting with others and had no time to pay attention to the attitudes of his neighbors.
Mrs. Miao felt insulted. She was so angry that she grabbed Li Jun's hair and slapped him twice.
Li Jun and Miao Dasao are the heavyweight opponents, both of whom are people who often go to the mountains to cook at home.
Han Ruixue doesn't even cook at home. She is as thin as a beauty lamp that will fall over if the wind blows.
She was no match for Li Jun and was beaten by Li Jun while sitting on him.
Li Jun was not very good when facing Mrs. Miao, and she spent some energy on Han Ruixue.
Although Han Ruixue was weak, she was very ruthless in her attack, and her chest was still burning with pain.
"I asked you to spread rumors about me." He slapped him several times.
"I asked you to hit my son." A few more slaps.
This battle started because the two children of the Liu family went to the Liu family to steal money, but it eventually turned into a big fight between Li Jun and Miao Dasao.
Mrs. Miao fought with Li Jun and rescued Han Ruixue.
Han Ruixue couldn't bear to watch her brother being beaten by Old Lady Liu, but she couldn't fight with Old Lady Liu either. After all, she was her elder, Chief Liu's biological mother.
When Liu Tong and Liu Lei saw their mother being beaten unilaterally by Miao Dasao, they picked up a small stick and were about to hit Miao Dasao. However, before they entered the battlefield, they were elbowed aside by Miao Dasao.
Old Mrs. Liu didn’t care that her daughter-in-law was beaten.
She saw her two precious grandchildren sitting on the ground, crying in grievance.
Old Mrs. Liu jumped three feet high and squeezed in between the two people who were fighting. She wanted to take advantage of her age and seniority and hit Mrs. Miao with her head.
"It's so unfair to bully us orphans and widows."
Mrs. Miao does not have the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
Brother Miao saw that the matter was getting more and more serious, and an old lady with poor health was involved. He couldn't beat the old lady, because if something happened, their family wouldn't be able to afford the compensation.
So he took a step forward and tried to pull his wife back, "Okay, stop fighting, and go home quickly."
Mrs. Miao was very angry and could not easily go home with him, so she slapped Brother Miao in the face.
"Bah! Do you really think I don't know about the little shit between you and Li Jun? For the sake of our two kids, I won't bother with you. If it were a few years ago, I would have hung whores on you two and paraded you through the streets to criticize you!"
Onlookers:? !
I originally came to watch the fun, but who would have thought there would be extra melons to eat.
With just one sentence, Mrs. Miao calmed the crowd down.
The three siblings of the Han family were glaring at Li Jun one second ago, and the next second their eyes became clear and pure, and like everyone else, their gazes moved back and forth between Brother Miao and Li Jun.
The adults all understood what this meant, but the two children of the Liu family looked confused.
Miao Jinhui thought that it was a smart move to look for Section Chief Liu everywhere. It allowed him to show off in front of his superiors without having to face the difficult choice of helping his current sister-in-law or his former sister-in-law.
As a result, when he hurried home with Section Chief Liu, whom he had finally found, he saw his sister-in-law beating their leader's predecessor.
Of course, for now, this is not the scariest thing.
The most terrifying thing was that his sister-in-law's earth-shattering words could be heard by the family members living on the back street.
For the first time, Miao Jinhui hoped that Section Chief Liu had a hearing impairment and would not be able to hear these words.
Miao Jinhui knew best what was wrong with his elder brother.
He didn't catch the couple in adultery, but he had no doubt about the truthfulness of his sister-in-law's words. This is indeed something his elder brother could do.
Miao Jinhui didn't even dare to look at Section Chief Liu's expression. Although Section Chief Liu and Li Jun had been divorced for many years, Li Jun had never remarried and was still living with her ex-mother-in-law. So everyone tended to treat Li Jun as Section Chief Liu's daughter-in-law.
Miao Jinhui ran to the crowd like a eunuch and said, "Section Chief Liu is here, everyone please stop fighting."
When Old Lady Liu heard her son was back, her expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. She immediately sat on the ground and cried, "Son, you have to make the decision for me. Some people have no conscience. They beat your son and want to beat your mother. If you don't care, then what's the point of me living in this world? I might as well find a rope and hang myself."
Old Lady Liu was an expert at weeping at funerals, with each of her words having a different tone. Jiang Ling couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this was a true old folk artist.
Section Chief Liu was very concerned about his reputation, so he quickly took two steps forward and tried to pull my mother up. "Mom, what are you doing? There are so many neighbors watching us. Get up quickly. Your son will take you home."
As soon as the man came back, he went straight to me and completely ignored me. Han Ruixue was unhappy, "The three of us sisters have encountered an unexpected disaster today."
The beauty shed tears, like pear blossoms in the rain, which was very beautiful. The male comrades watching were stunned. No wonder Chief Liu wanted to divorce Sister Li. Who could resist the temptation of a beauty like Han Ruixue?
Section Chief Liu put my mother on a stool and went straight to his wife, "Who bullied you? Tell me."
Li Jun's face was swollen like a steamed bun. She stood there and watched Section Chief Liu pass by her, but he went straight to Han Ruixue, the vixen. Her face looked very ugly.
Of course, it would be strange if your face looked good with all its puffiness like a steamed bun.
She is a loyal woman and has decided that Section Chief Liu is her man in this life.
Lao Liu is a capable man. He started out as a country boy and became a worker in the city, gradually becoming the head of the security department.
So even though they were divorced, she wanted to live near her ex-husband's home, hoping that Section Chief Liu would change his mind.
Han Ruixue is just a little bit prettier, but she is not virtuous, can't cook or have children, and is not a qualified woman.
A man's desire for beauty is only temporary. One day he will realize that you are the most suitable person for him.
In Li Jun's heart, Section Chief Liu is still her husband and Han Ruixue is just his concubine.
The man ignored her as his original wife and went straight to his aunt, making her feel embarrassed.
Han Ruixue didn't know that she had a marriage certificate, but was just a concubine.
She was complaining to Section Chief Liu, "Liu Lei and Liu Tong came to our house to steal money, and were caught by me and my junior Qingzhu. Li Jun didn't apologize, but came up and beat me."
She showed the wounds on her face to Section Chief Liu, "Look at how she beat me."
To be honest, the injuries on Han Ruixue's face were not as serious as those on Li Jun's. There was a circle of purple marks on her neck and a strand of her hair was pulled out.
Li Junxian's face was scratched by Han Ruixue's long nails, and he was slapped countless times by Miao Dasao.
It wasn't that Chief Liu didn't feel sad that his wife's face was injured, but he was more curious. If Ruixue and Li Jun started fighting because Liu Lei and his sister stole things, why did it end up being a fight between Miao Dasao and Li Jun?
And what happened between Li Jun and the eldest son of the Miao family according to Mrs. Miao?
Li Jun couldn't bear to hear anyone say that his child was a thief, especially when that person was Han Ruixue.
She immediately recovered and said, "Liu Lei and Liu Tong didn't steal anything. You are a grown-up, how can you throw dirty water on children?"
She looked at Section Chief Liu again, "You are Leilei and Tongtong's father, you have to speak a fair word. You can't let your children be branded as thieves at such a young age. How will their teachers and classmates look at them in the future?"
After all, they are his own son and daughter. Section Chief Liu doesn't care about the children because of the pressure from Han Ruixue, but he still feels sorry for the two children in his heart.
No matter what the truth of the matter is, as Li Jun said, as a father, he cannot let his child be charged with theft.
Section Chief Liu bowed to the people around him and said, "I'm sorry for taking up everyone's time. My wife misunderstood the two children and thought they stole the money. In fact, that's not the case. Leilei and Tongtong are both good children and would never steal money."
The onlookers all thought so too. Han Ruixue had always disliked Lei Lei and Tong Tong, so she must have been causing trouble on purpose.
Someone said, "Section Chief Liu, you have to take care of your wife. You know how big a mess this is. Tongtong and Leilei have been wrongly accused for no reason. How pitiful."
Section Chief Liu nodded, "Yes, yes, everyone is right. I will strictly discipline my wife in the future and will never let this kind of thing happen again."
Section Chief Liu admitted his mistake with a good attitude, and the neighbors just watched the fun for nothing, and no one held on to the matter.
Han Ruixue became a vicious stepmother who bullied her stepchildren for no reason, and of course she couldn't accept that.
Han Ruixue had tears in her eyes. She didn't cry when she was fighting with Li Jun, but now she was crying out of grievance. "Okay, okay, it turns out that you two are a close family, and I will always be an outsider."
Han Qingzhu and Han Hongmei also said, "Brother-in-law, we saw Liu Lei and Liu Tong stealing money with our own eyes. It was definitely not my eldest sister bullying the children."
Section Chief Liu doesn't care what the truth is, he just wants to keep things quiet.
"I can tell the truth for myself."
Section Chief Liu tried his best to wink at the three Han siblings, hoping that they could give him some consideration.
Before Han's parents passed away, the three siblings were also brought up in pampered love.
Before my parents passed away, I was loved and pampered by them. After her parents passed away, Section Chief Liu married her and treated her like a daughter.
Han Ruixue had never suffered such an injustice. She was so angry that she threw things on the spot, throwing whatever was in the house.
Pots, pans, thermoses and kitchen knives, the house suddenly became a garbage dump.
The incident happened so quickly that even the neighbors who were watching did not expect it.
Li Jun's face was swollen as he said sarcastically, "You are a grown man after all, but you can't even control your wife. You are really useless."
Section Chief Liu was so angry that he was about to die. It was all her fault. She was fanning the flames here.
He pointed at Li Jun's nose and cursed, "Get out of here right now, get away from me."
Li Jun stamped his feet in grievance and looked at Old Lady Liu, "Mom, look at him."
Old Mrs. Liu would definitely side with her son. No matter how much she looked down on Han Ruixue, the new daughter-in-law, she didn't want her son to be caught in the middle and have a hard time.
She patted Li Jun's hand and said, "That brat is just like that. Don't bother with him. Does the wound on your face still hurt? Let's go home and I'll apply medicine on you. I'll cook tonight, so you take a good rest."
Li Jun was so moved that she said, "Mom..." If she didn't have a good mother-in-law, she really didn't know if she could have held on any longer.
People around her also said, "Mrs. Liu is the most reasonable person in the family. After her son got divorced, she was able to live with her ex-daughter-in-law and help her take care of her grandchildren."
Jiang Ling naturally heard the neighbors' discussions.
Reasonable? She didn't think so.
There are different kinds of people sleeping on the same kang. If Old Mrs. Liu was really a good person, how could she just watch her daughter-in-law take advantage of others?
Seeing Li Jun being taken home by Old Lady Liu, Section Chief Liu apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry for wasting your time. The rest is our own business. Let's go now."
Section Chief Li has already said this, so everyone should give him some face and not just block the door and watch the fun.
The neighbors who had been watching the scene had mostly dispersed, but Miao's eldest sister-in-law still wanted Chief Liu to give her justice. Was she really going to be beaten up by Li Junbai like this?
Miao Dasao's man dragged the girl back home. This woman didn't suffer any loss in the fight. Kuku slapped Li Jun in the face countless times. Before Li Jun could come to his senses, he blackmailed them.
When Jiang Ling left Section Chief Liu's house, she could still hear the sound of things being smashed coming from Liu's house, and Han Ruixue cursing in a shrill voice.
Section Chief Liu probably knew that he was in the wrong, so he silently let her beat and scold him.
When Jiang Ling returned home, Song Guanshu was still reading.
He was so absorbed in watching the fun that he forgot he was still at home.
While there was a lot of fighting outside, he was enjoying a peaceful life at home.
"I'm back. You didn't see that scene. That guy..." Jiang Ling described the scene to him with her hands and feet dancing. "Oh, it's such a pity that you didn't see it. Next time, if there is such a scene again, I will definitely ask you to watch it with me."
She spoke with great joy, and when she looked up she saw Song Guanshu looking at her with a smile on his lips.
She felt her whole body go numb when she was stared at. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"
