Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Pink
Jiang Ling only hated herself for knowing too much and immediately understood the doctor's hidden meaning.
It’s just that this kind of thing is hard to explain, and the more you explain, the worse it gets.
So the two of them lowered their heads and were criticized by the doctor for more than ten minutes. In order to make Song Guanshu remember this, they were not particularly careful when applying medicine to him.
Song Guanshu was very patient in the pain. Jiang Ling watched from the side, her face wrinkled into a puff. She couldn't help but say, "Doctor, please be gentler."
"You seem to feel bad for the man," the doctor snorted, "Why didn't you remember that he was injured when you were fooling around last night?"
Why isn't this over yet? Jiang Ling picked her fingers awkwardly and looked up to see Song Guanshu's reaction.
Just as his eyes met his, Song Guanshu's cheeks turned slightly red, perhaps because the wound on his arm was a little painful.
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Ling sent Song Guanshu back to the guesthouse as she had to go to work.
It was the first time that her colleagues saw her being late. She told Lao Tang what happened on Saturday night and said that she was not absent from work without reason.
This scared the colleagues in the office, as no one had ever heard of such a thing happening to anyone around them.
Ordinary family ethics topics such as quarrels between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can attract everyone to discuss, let alone criminal cases involving real guns and knives.
Ordinary people don’t usually come across these cases, but they are experienced by people around them.
Everyone had a lot of questions to ask Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling apologized to everyone and said, "I still have to go to the technical department to ask for leave for Song Guanshu. If you need anything, wait for me when I come back."
"Yes, yes, yes, go to the technical department and ask for leave."
"Did you bring the medical records? Please take a few more days off and ask Xiao Song to recover before coming back to work."
Jiang Ling came to the technical department and found the head of the department. She roughly recounted Song Guanshu's case and what happened on Saturday night.
After hearing this, the head of the technical department was generous and said, "Grant him seven days of sick leave first, and we'll make another decision based on Xiao Song's physical condition in a week."
Jiang Ling picked up the note and nodded at him with a smile, "Thank you, Chief."
The moment Jiang Ling turned around, she was surrounded by other staff members from the technical department. "Mr. Song, can you tell me more about this?"
In an age of information scarcity, everyone is very curious.
When Jiang Ling asked for leave from the head of the technical department, she only talked about the key points and omitted many unimportant details.
Even if only minor details are omitted, everyone still wants to hear it.
So Jiang Ling started talking about how she chatted with Song Guanshu until midnight, but the staff of the technical department didn't believe that the couple would chat until midnight. They must have done something else, but the young girl was embarrassed to say it.
A slightly ambiguous smile appeared on everyone's face. Jiang Ling was talking so excitedly that she didn't notice that there was something wrong with the smiles on everyone's faces.
From hearing the sound of glass, to seeing her neighbor open the door and walk out, to a man with a gun coming in.
Everyone said, "There's something wrong with your neighbor."
"That's why the door was opened in the middle of the night. It's weird."
Although I already knew that nothing happened to the young couple Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu, I was still worried about them.
"Stop interrupting me, let Jiang Ling continue."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Jiang, please continue."
When facing the public security officers, Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu did not conceal the sulfuric acid. After all, the police would know what Chen Mazi had experienced through a simple investigation. If they concealed it, it would arouse the police's suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble.
But facing these colleagues who would be with Song Guanshu day and night, Jiang Ling naturally could not say that Song Guanshu had placed sulfuric acid at home, so as not to make people doubt how dangerous Song Guanshu was.
Although, he is indeed dangerous.
Colleagues have to worry when they are working with him that he might throw sulfuric acid at someone over a disagreement, which would affect his normal social life.
Neighbors and colleagues had no idea what Chen Mazi had experienced, so Jiang Ling only said that the gun suddenly exploded when he pulled the trigger, and the exploded parts hit his face, causing him serious injuries. Only then were she and Song Guanshu able to escape.
Jiang Ling deliberately spoke well of Song Guanshu in front of her colleagues, emphasizing his heroic act of saving the beauty when the gun exploded.
"Xiao Song is really good at protecting his wife at the critical moment."
Jiang Ling said very sensibly, "It's all thanks to his good technical education. I also want to thank all the leaders for their cultivation of him."
Wang Qiang, who had always been at odds with Song Guanshu, curled his lips in disdain. It was just an injury, but Song Guanshu's wife made it sound like she was accepting an award. Song Guanshu is annoying, and his wife is just like him.
Colleagues don’t like to hear such words, but leaders like to hear others flatter them, especially when the person who flatters them is very beautiful, and their vanity will explode in an instant.
The section chief had just approved a week's leave for Song Guanshu, and then he added another seven days. "It's all right in the section. Let Song recover before coming back to work. He's still young, and we must not let him get sick."
After hearing this thrilling story, the technical department staff patted their chests in fear.
"Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be punished with evil. It's not that there is no retribution, but the time has come. The bad guys will be punished by God. You and Xiao Song are both good children. God will protect you when you encounter danger."
Song Guanshu has a very good image among his colleagues.
Someone else remembered the neighbor who opened the door in the middle of the night. "Although the bad guy has been arrested, your neighbor is very strange. You must ask the police to investigate carefully. Maybe she was the one who brought the bad guy in."
Jiang Ling nodded, "I've told the police, they will investigate her."
The investigation results have not yet come out, but everyone has already determined in their hearts that it was this neighbor who colluded with the murderer.
"How can there be such a person?"
Everyone turned their attention to the deputy section chief Li Tiejun. His wife's family worked in the steel plant. After Song Guanshu joined the company, Li Tiejun heard that he wanted to rent a house and introduced him to the housing resources at the steel plant.
At this time, Li Tiejun was carefully wondering who lived opposite Song Guanshu's house.
After all, he is just the son-in-law of a steel plant. He is not familiar with the personnel relationships in the factory and doesn't know which family is so bad.
He was still thinking about it, and decided to go back and ask his wife who it was.
"You are lucky because you encountered a rare event that happens only once in a century, and you have such bad neighbors. But you are unlucky because you encountered a gun exploding, which is even rarer."
Jiang Ling laughed in her heart. It was still unknown whether the gun explosion was a blessing from God or due to some small operation by Song Guanshu.
She suspected that the gun in Chen Mazi's hand was once buried on the grave of the Yu family girl behind, and was found by them. Then Song Guanshu made a small change to it, so it exploded in the end.
There is no such thing as a good life. There are always people who are carrying the burden and moving forward.
Jiang Ling never found an opportunity to discuss this matter with Song Guanshu, even in the guesthouse where there were only two of them in the room.
Jiang Ling was very cautious and feared that there were eavesdropping devices in the room, so she did not dare to tell Song Guanshu about it.
It was already noon when Jiang Ling was released to the Finance Department by the comrades from the Technical Department.
Ever since Jiang Ling left, everyone in the Finance Department had been waiting for her to come back and explain in detail, but they waited and waited, but there was no sign of Jiang Ling.
I knew she must have been tripped up by the group of people in the technical department.
I cursed that group of people countless times in my heart.
When Jiang Ling returned to the Finance Department holding the half-month leave note, the others' necks were almost stretched two miles apart.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Jiang Ling had no choice but to repeat what she had just said.
After some discussion, everyone heard that the Technical Department had given Song Guanshu half a month's sick leave. Section Chief Tang was not to be outdone and gave Jiang Ling three days off to let her go home and calm down.
Section Chief Tang was afraid that Jiang Ling would feel unbalanced, so he explained, "After all, Xiao Song was injured, so giving him a fake name is justified."
Halfway through work, Jiang Ling took her and Song Guanshu's leave notes and returned to the guesthouse.
Considering that Song Guanshu had lost a lot of blood in the past few days, Jiang Ling also bought a pound of brown sugar on the way.
When Song Guanshu saw brown sugar, he was completely stunned.
“I don’t use brown sugar.”
Jiang Ling made him a bowl of brown sugar water with hot water without hesitation, "You need it."
Under Jiang Ling's expectant gaze, Song Guanshu had no choice but to drink the brown sugar water.
After the lesson from the first night, Jiang Ling slept very properly and properly in the next two nights of sleeping in the same bed, without doing anything out of the ordinary.
After staying in the guesthouse for two days, the police told them on the third day that they could go home.
The house was in a mess. Chen Mazi's hunting rifle exploded, and there were gun fragments everywhere. There was Chen Mazi's blood on the ground and Song Guanshu's blood on the kang.
In the past two days, criminal investigation personnel came to investigate the scene. Many people came in and out of the small house, and the house was turned into a mess by these people.
Song Guanshu has obsessive-compulsive disorder and can't stand seeing this kind of scene. Ever since he stepped into the house, an expression of disgust was obvious on his face.
He is a man of action, so he will find a rag and start cleaning.
Jiang Ling still remembered the doctor's advice not to let him do heavy work.
His wound was not shallow to begin with, and after being torn a second time, the wound became even more severe.
He snatched the rag from Song Guanshu's hand and pushed him to sit aside, "I'll do it, you take a rest."
Jiang Ling pushed him to sit down, and Song Guanshu stood firmly in his place.
Jiang Ling thought the other party was embarrassed to let her work alone, so she said, "You usually do a lot of housework. Now that you are injured, let me do it."
"Dirty." I don't know how many outsiders have touched the tables, chairs and benches in the house.
Jiang Ling: ...You are just being too sentimental.
Resigned to his fate, he wiped the chair first and said, "Please take a seat."
The two had just returned home not long ago, and Jiang Ling had only wiped the kang once, when a neighbor came running over, pretending to be concerned about Song Guanshu's health, but actually came to ask about what happened that night.
They heard some things, but always felt that what they heard was not comprehensive enough, so they wanted to come to the person involved to find out.
Jiang Ling naturally had nothing to hide, especially the part concerning Li Jun, which she explained in great detail.
Even if she said nothing, the three generations of the Liu family would not remember her kindness and would definitely make up stories about her behind her back, inevitably confusing right and wrong. In this case, it would be better for her to come in person to dispel everyone's doubts, and no one should try to throw dirty water on her and Song Guanshu.
The neighbors have spent a long time with Li Jun. Although she had some inappropriate behaviors before her divorce from Section Chief Liu, she has become a sensible and good woman after the divorce.
With a good impression as a foundation, everyone who knew Li Jun did not believe that she had any bad intentions at first, and they all spoke up for Li Jun.
"Is it a coincidence?"
"Maybe it's just in time."
Jiang Ling shrugged, "I don't know about that. I'll listen to the police. If they say it's a coincidence, I'll believe it." Whether it was a coincidence or intentional was not something she could decide with just one sentence. She also had to let these people know that Li Jun's final verdict had nothing to do with her. It was all decided by the judicial system based on the evidence.
These neighbors are not saying that Li Jun and Jiang Ling must favor someone. They just say that after spending every day with Li Jun, they feel that she is not that kind of person.
After hearing what Jiang Ling said, no one objected and they all agreed, "Yes, it depends on the result of the police."
Li Jun was taken away for investigation for three days and has not been sent back. This result has already revealed some problems.
The common people of this period were simple and did not think of this.
However, there are still people who know a little about the law, such as Section Chief Liu in the front yard.
He worked in the security department and knew some of the laws at the time.
When his ex-wife Li Jun was taken away for investigation but the police had already completed the evidence collection at the scene of Jiang Ling and his wife's home, the couple had returned home, but Li Jun had not been released. He knew something was wrong.
It’s not that his feelings for his ex-wife are so deep, but after his ex-wife went to prison, no one could take care of Liu Lei, Liu Tong and Old Lady Liu. They are his mother and son, so naturally he has to take care of them.
During the few days when Li Jun was taken away for investigation, he came over to take care of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. His wife Han Ruixue had many complaints. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he needed long-term care in the future.
For the sake of future family harmony, Section Chief Liu shamelessly came to Song Guanshu and Jiang Ling to plead for mercy.
He was a man who cared about his reputation, and it would not make sense for him to go to someone's house empty-handed when asking for help, so he brought a box of eggs.
"I heard that Xiao Song was injured. People from our hometown sent some free-range eggs to him some time ago. They are all eggs laid by free-range chickens in the mountains. They are very nutritious." Section Chief Liu said with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, fry an egg for Xiao Song every morning. It will help his wound heal."
Jiang Ling exchanged a glance with Song Guanshu calmly. Section Chief Liu's purpose of coming to her house was definitely not simple.
Jiang Ling took the box of eggs and took out money from her pocket. "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Liu. We can't take advantage of you. We will buy from you at the market price."
When Jiang Ling took the egg just now, she roughly weighed it and handed him a five-yuan note. "If the money is not enough, just tell me directly."
Section Chief Liu came to ask for help, so how could he accept his money? He wanted to refuse, but Jiang Ling said seriously, "Brother Liu has to support his wife and children. It's not easy for you to make money. If you don't want the money, you should take the eggs back."
Section Chief Liu had no choice but to accept the money. At the same time, I also felt that this young couple was not greedy or possessive, and their character was impeccable.
Section Chief Liu became confident that he could persuade the two to forgive Li Jun.
"Can you give Li Jun a letter of apology? She was deceived by someone and she didn't mean to harm you."
However, when he made the request, both of them turned into slippery loaches.
Jiang Ling's eyes widened. "What? Could it be that Sister Li Jun opened the door in the middle of the night to lure the bad guys into our house?"
She looked terrified. "Our two sisters are not around. I really treat Sister Li Jun as my own sister. Why would she do such a thing? Did I do something to make her unhappy?"
No one knew why Li Jun did this. Liu Jianshe tried to interrupt her several times but didn't know what to say.
"I have been deceiving myself these days, telling myself that it must be a misunderstanding, that Sister Li Jun has no intention of harming me. It turns out that it was all fake. When I just got married and moved in with Song Guanshu, she told me that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and that we should take care of each other. It turns out that it was all fake?"
Seeing the uncomfortable expression on the female comrade's face, Liu Jianshe was too embarrassed to ask for her forgiveness. Li Jun is really a piece of shit.
But if he doesn't speak up, his family will be in turmoil.
He said, "Li Jun did something unkind. You two have a good relationship. Can you forgive her? She is a mother with two children. She went to live in the fence. Liu Lei and Liu Tong are left without a mother. Can you bear to see two children without a mother and no one to take care of them?"
This is the beginning of moral blackmail.
Jiang Ling blinked innocently, "I have never blamed Sister Li Jun in my heart."
Liu Jianshe boldly put forward his request, "Then can you write a letter of understanding to Li Jun?"
"But I've heard from my parents and elders since I was a child that if you make a mistake, you must be punished accordingly. Punishment is not the goal, the ultimate goal is not to make the same mistake again. I can easily forgive her, but Brother Liu, have you ever thought about the consequences? Your two children will think that breaking the law is insignificant. Squatting under the fence is a punishment for the criminals, and it will serve as a warning to the people around them. When they want to trigger the law, think about the consequences of breaking the law, and they won't dare to do it again. If you instill such a wrong value system in your children when they are young, I can't imagine what they will become in the future."
Jiang Ling smiled bitterly, "Sorry, we can't sign the letter of understanding. Just think of it as for the sake of the child."
After being lectured by Jiang Ling, Liu Jianshe left their home with a look of guilt on his face. Instead of being angry about being rejected, he thought that his awareness was not as good as that of a young lesbian.
It's really interesting that he wants to morally blackmail her. There is no so-called sisterly love between her and Li Jun at all. They are not even nodding acquaintances.
Is she a despicable person? Li Jun wants to kill her and Song Guanshu, but she still feels sorry for Li Jun's child who has no one to take care of him. It's not her child, and it has nothing to do with her.
Compared to the relatively easy-going Liu Jianshe, Old Lady Liu was a very mean old lady. She resented Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu for sending her daughter-in-law to the police station. Every day when she threw dirty water, she would pour it towards the door of the west wing.
It's not a big deal, but it does affect my mood if it happens every day, like a toad jumping on the back of my foot. It doesn't bite, but it's annoying.
The wound on Song Guanshu's arm had not healed yet, so he could not make any big movements. Jiang Ling cleaned the room by herself. Only then did she realize how difficult it was for Song Guanshu to clean the house.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ling's three-day frightened vacation was over and she had to go back to work.
Jiang Ling left Song Guanshu at home to recuperate. Before she went to work, she specifically reminded her not to make any big movements and not to put pressure on her sick body. If there was anything to do, she should wait for her to come home to do it.
Song Guanshu is not an obedient person. He is the only one at home, so he is not as restricted as Jiang Ling when she is at home.
He went out in the morning and didn't return home until Jiang Ling got off work.
Because of some large movements, a lot of blood seeped out of the white bandage.
Song Guanshu only noticed it after he got home. He clicked his tongue in annoyance. It would be troublesome if Jiang Ling saw it.
Jiang Ling had only worked half a day when she left work early. The workers had not received any allowances or bonuses for several months and their work enthusiasm was very low.
Everyone left work early, and Jiang Ling followed suit.
While squeezing onto the bus with everyone else, Jiang Ling was still thinking that it was just that the factory couldn't pay out bonuses now, and it was estimated that in a few months, the factory wouldn't even be able to pay out wages.
There is not much money left in the factory's account. If the products produced by the factory cannot be sold, they will really not be able to pay wages.
When Song Guanshu went to Guangcheng for a meeting, Jiang Ling took the bus to and from work, and she was very familiar with the bus routes.
The bus was crowded. Looking at the road slowly receding outside the window, Jiang Ling thought to herself that she had to think of a way out for herself. What would she do if the factory closed down?
Song Guanshu removed the blood-stained bandage expressionlessly and wrapped it tightly with clean white gauze. The wound seemed to be torn and blood was oozing out.
When removing the gauze, he accidentally smeared blood on his clothes, right on the most conspicuous position on the front, and Jiang Ling could see it at a glance when she came back.
After changing the bandage, he went to the closet to get a clean set of clothes.
Just as she took off her clothes, Jiang Ling pushed the door open and came in, along with her energetic voice, "I'm back!"
Song Guanshu was shirtless. He didn't expect Jiang Ling to come back so early. He quickly hid the bloodstained clothes and bandages.
Jiang Ling's entire attention was on the young and beautiful girl, and she didn't even notice his little movements.
Covered by clothes all year round, his skin is very white, not a sickly white, but a healthy pinkish white.
The lines are firm and tight, without any excess fat.
What surprised Jiang Ling the most was that although Song Guanshu looked very thin, he actually had a layer of muscles on his body.
It's not an exaggerated, lumpy muscle, but a practical muscle that has been developed through long-term hardships.
Jiang Ling's gaze was as real as a substance. Song Guanshu forced himself to remain calm and put on his clothes calmly, as if there was no such person.
Until Jiang Ling said, "Pink."
Song Guanshu couldn't hold it in any longer.
