Chapter 49 Chapter 49 His lips touched her delicate white ear...
The shampoo produced by the small factory in Haicheng has not entered Beicheng, let alone had an impact on the sales of shampoo from the Beicheng daily chemical factory.
However, the sales of the new shampoo are dismal and have not solved the factory’s urgent needs.
The poor sales of Beicheng Daily Chemical Factory's shampoo has nothing to do with the formula leak.
But the factory urgently needed someone to take the blame, and at this time, Wang Qiang became the best candidate.
It just so happened that this person was promoted to deputy section chief not long ago, which was not a too low position, so he was qualified to take the blame.
Wang Qiang hadn't thought about this yet. He was only thinking about one thing.
He admitted that he was a thief who stole Song Guanshu's recipe and put the blame of leaking the recipe on him.
Or he would rather be punished and investigated by the factory than admit that he stole the formula developed by his colleague.
He was caught in a dilemma. No matter what choice he made, it would be unpleasant for him. It all depended on which choice would cause him less harm.
After thinking about it, he decided to admit that he was a thief. Stealing the formula was a lesser crime, after all, it was only a moral stain.
Leaking the factory formula could result in jail time.
Song Guanshu was able to guess what Wang Qiang was thinking and what he would choose to do. This man had a simple brain and thought that if he admitted that he had stolen the formula, the problem of leaking the formula would have nothing to do with him.
Of course, things are not that simple.
Wang Qiang could admit that he stole the recipe, but no one would believe him.
Wang Qiang blushed, "No, it wasn't me. In fact, the formula of this shampoo was researched by Xiao Song. I took credit for it."
He pointed at the letter record brought by the leader, "This shows the time when Haicheng sent the letter. At that time, I didn't know the shampoo formula. Only Song Guanshu knew it. It was him, it was all him. He was the one who leaked the factory's formula. He is the one who is guilty. It's really not me. I just want to get the attention of the factory leader."
He kept making high-sounding excuses for his behavior, "I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong. I didn't mean any harm. I saw that the factory was about to close down, and I wanted to save it. I really wanted to help the factory solve its problems."
"I am an old employee of the factory. I have worked in the factory for so many years. Even if I have made no contributions, I have worked hard. I will never do anything that will harm the interests of the factory."
In fact, the staff of the technical department once doubted whether the shampoo was developed by Wang Qiang alone. After all, his colleagues all saw how capable he was, and this shampoo was totally not something that could be developed at his level.
But he took it for granted that shampoo brought him everything, fame, money, official position...
The shampoo is indeed good and seems to be able to solve the factory's difficulties. So it doesn't matter who developed this shampoo, as long as the shampoo can solve the factory's urgent problems.
Similarly, the factory leaders don’t care who leaked the formula. The factory needs someone to take the blame, and since all the evidence points to Wang Qiang, it must be him.
As for what the truth is? That doesn't matter.
Only children will dig deep to get the correct answer, while adults don't care about right or wrong, they only care about the result.
Since you enjoy the benefits brought by shampoo developers, you should bear the disadvantages.
You can't get all the benefits by yourself.
Song Guanshu said innocently, "I don't know why Section Chief Wang said that I developed the shampoo. Did he want to put the blame of leaking the formula on me? I had no reason to send the formula of my own shampoo to other daily chemical factories in Section Chief Wang's name. The purpose of leaking the formula was to collect money, but I left other people's names, and the money went to other people. What did I gain from it?"
When the technical department and some other leaders in the factory heard Wang Qiang say that he had stolen Song Guanshu's formula, they all believed it a little.
After all, Song Guanshu is a college student. Although he has not produced any constructive results in all these years since he joined the factory, it seems more reasonable to say that the formula was developed by Song Guanshu than by Wang Qiang, a good-for-nothing.
But as Song Guanshu said, if he wanted to sell the recipe, why would he sign Wang Qiang's name? This doesn't make sense.
Wang Qiang once did everything he could to become the developer of a new type of shampoo, but now he is trying desperately to get rid of this title.
The factory security department took him away, and he had to stay in the factory until the factory leaders discussed the punishment for him.
They worked in the same building. Before leaving get off work, Jiang Ling also heard about this incident. Old Tang came back from the bathroom and told everyone about it.
Now everyone outside is talking about him. How highly Wang Qiang was praised in the past, how badly he has fallen now.
He went from being a technological rising star in the factory to a criminal who leaked factory secrets.
"I don't know what he was thinking. If he wanted to make extra money, he could just sell the formula he developed to an outside factory and that would be it. Even without selling the formula to both parties, he could still make a lot of money. The outside factory must have given him a lot of money."
"It's all greed. He wants money and fame, and wants to be promoted to a leader by relying on the formula."
Old Tang added, "More than that, this man is really morally corrupt. He is about to be ruined, but he still wants to bring down Jiang Ling's Song Guanshu."
"What does this mean?" This matter was related to Song Guanshu. Jiang Ling had been watching the show quietly without expressing any opinions. But since Old Tang called her, she had to behave normally.
Old Tang said, "I heard from Old Li from the Personnel Department that Wang Qiang said that he stole the formula from Xiao Song and that Xiao Song framed him."
Jiang Ling was very anxious. "This person is too outrageous. How could it be Song Guanshu? Song Guanshu is really an honest man. He would never do such a thing."
Old Tang told her not to be impatient. "I haven't finished yet. You are too impatient. The leaders are not fools. How could they allow him to deceive them? The evidence is irrefutable. Even if he wants to put the blame on your Xiao Song, he can't do that."
"The leader is wise." Jiang Ling scolded Wang Qiang in cooperation.
How does the saying go? Only those who have wronged you know how wronged you are.
Although Jiang Ling acted indignant, she knew Song Guanshu, and she knew that he had become rich some time ago, and Chen Xiangyang had inexplicably disappeared for a while.
Wang Qiang might not really want to take someone with him before he dies, he really did not leak the formula.
But even if he wasn't the one who leaked the formula, he couldn't be considered innocent. Who told him to be a thief instead of just being a good person?
Jiang Ling did not sympathize with Wang Qiang and was a little annoyed. Song Guanshu clearly had a plan to deal with the situation, but he was very depressed and frustrated when he returned home that day.
She foolishly felt sorry for him and felt sorry for him, as if she was the most innocent one.
After get off work, she was furious when she saw Song Guanshu.
In order not to let his colleagues notice anything unusual, when they were alone, Jiang Ling sat on the back of the bicycle and did not hold his waist as usual, but held the back seat.
At this time, Song Guanshu, who was riding a bicycle, had not noticed anything unusual. After returning home, Jiang Ling was very cold to him, which was very different from usual.
Song Guanshu couldn't stand Jiang Ling's cold attitude the most, as if they would be strangers in the next second.
At the dinner table, he put down his chopsticks and asked first.
"Are you unhappy? Why?" Song Guanshu asked seriously.
He still has the nerve to ask.
Jiang Ling glared at him, "You were the one who did that to Wang Qiang!"
Song Guanshu's eyes flashed, so Jiang Ling was unhappy because of this matter.
Do you think his methods are despicable? But he once asked her, and Jiang Ling said she didn't hate it.
So you're going to abandon him?
Song Guanshu lowered his head slightly and admitted it.
Jiang Ling didn't want to know the answer to this question. She had already guessed it was him.
"Did you already know what Wang Qiang wanted to do, or did you already have a way to deal with it?"
Song Guanshu did not answer and lowered his head again.
Jiang Ling was so angry that she asked again, "Since you already have a way to deal with it, why are you acting so pitiful because the formula was stolen? I wanted to take you to the leader to explain the matter clearly, but you don't need it at all."
She still sincerely sympathized with him. How could she be so stupid? What kind of person was Song Guanshu? How could he suffer in silence?
I don’t know what had possessed me at that time that made me lose all my rationality.
Song Guanshu keenly grasped the key words. He raised his head and showed his beautiful facial features. Jiang Ling was not angry because of the mean means.
He turned his head slightly, revealing the more handsome left half of his face. His eyes moved, and he looked at Jiang Ling without blinking. "I was too tired during that time, and I was under a lot of mental pressure. Although I had a plan to deal with it, I never thought that Wang Qiang would really do such a thing. We have worked together for many years and we still have some feelings for each other. But for the sake of profit, he took away the formula that I spent a lot of time and money to develop, and said so many unpleasant things."
Jiang Ling inevitably softened her heart again. No matter how strong he was, he was still a human being, and humans would be sad and upset. His reaction that day was understandable.
Wang Qiang stole his formula and he is the victim. She cannot think that he cheated her just because he discovered it in time and recovered the loss.
Song Guanshu said softly, "If you don't like it, I will try my best to control myself in the future."
Jiang Ling didn't say she liked it, nor did she say she didn't like it. "Okay, let's eat first."
He hummed softly and said yes, but secretly raised the corners of his lips.
Song Guanshu drew a check mark on the day of last month on the wall calendar, poured the hot water from the kettle into the hot water bag, and stuffed the filled hot water bag into Jiang Ling's quilt.
Jiang Ling has seldom eaten popsicles recently and only drinks some iced soda occasionally. This is related to her health and she takes it very seriously.
Her menstrual period was irregular in the past two months, but because of good care, it came on time this month.
She only had stomach pain that one time, and she never had pain during her subsequent menstruation.
Every time there is a special occasion, Song Guanshu would give hot water.
In the summer, she would sweat even if she didn't move, and she didn't want to sleep with a hot water bottle in her arms.
“It’s so hot.”
There will be a sore and swollen feeling in the lower abdomen and waist, which is different from the feeling when you have stomach pain.
Song Guanshu didn't say anything, "Oh, okay." But there was a hint of loneliness in his voice.
Jiang Ling inexplicably felt guilty for abandoning his wife after becoming successful, especially since Song Guanshu did not force her to sleep with the hot water bottle in his arms. Instead, he poured the water in the hot water bottle into the basin without complaint and told Jiang Ling to get up and soak her feet.
Jiang Ling's damn sense of guilt became stronger and stronger.
However, she did not get up to soak her feet out of guilt, but because she was not averse to soaking her feet.
Jiang Ling has principles but no morals.
No matter what the reason, she will not force herself to do anything she doesn't want to do.
Song Guanshu's eyes fell on the pair of jade-white feet in the water, but after just a moment, he looked away as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Ling guessed that it was Chen Xiangyang who contacted the manufacturer on behalf of Song Guanshu. Considering that he disappeared for a while and suddenly became rich, Jiang Ling made this guess.
Song Guanshu should have given Chen Xiangyang a considerable amount of labor fees. This man was not very active in setting up the stall. He fished for three days and dried the nets for two days, and often came to eat for free at night.
What's even more outrageous is that he also brought three glasses, on one of which there was an ugly sun drawn on it with a black pen to represent that it was his glass.
Jiang Ling saw him bringing three glasses and said he was spending too much. But when she saw him pointing at the marked water cup and saying it was his cup, Jiang Ling was speechless.
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu each have an enamel cup for drinking water at home. Every time Chen Xiangyang comes, he uses his bowl to drink water, wine, and beverages. I don’t know what he was thinking, but he actually arranged an exclusive cup for himself.
Three cups were placed on the table. Chen Xiangyang was not satisfied no matter how he looked at them. He stroked his chin and said, "Tomorrow I will find a piece of wood to make a tray to hold the cups. It should look much better."
Jiang Ling nodded, "Yes, it's more like a family of three."
Song Guanshu's eyebrows just knitted up when he heard Jiang Ling say, "Mom and Dad brought their eldest son."
His brows relaxed, but when he saw Chen Xiangyang, there was only disgust in his eyes.
Feeling Song Guanshu's disdainful gaze, Chen Xiangyang was hurt. He thought that he was a young man in the prime of his life, so why did he be looked down upon like this?
Jiang Ling knew that Chen Xiangyang and Song Guanshu were secretly doing something, but she never asked Chen Xiangyang, and even if she asked him, he would not tell her.
Chen Xiangyang always brings something every time he comes, sometimes it’s very expensive, sometimes it’s cheap.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but talk every time she saw it, "No need to spend so much money. We both have to eat anyway. You coming here is nothing more than adding a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice. It's not easy for you to make money. I know you have money now, but you can't spend it without planning. If you have nowhere to spend it, go home and give some money to your parents."
Jiang Ling still remembered that in the original book, Chen Xiangyang once told Xie Lang that after running away from home, he always wanted to secretly go back home to take a look, but either he had no money or no time. He kept delaying and finally died while serving as an informant for Xie Lang, and he never had the chance to go home to take a look.
Chen Xiangyang had a bright smile on his face. "I went back. I secretly went back to my hometown a while ago and bought gifts for my mom, dad, grandparents." But he didn't dare to stay too long. He went back in the dark and secretly left home before dawn.
Could it be that when he disappeared some time ago, he was not doing things for Song Guanshu, but had returned to his hometown?
"Is your family in good health?"
"I was feeling a little unwell at first, but everything is fine after seeing me."
Not knowing that Chen Xiangyang would come, the two of them had a simple dinner. They had no appetite for anything in the summer. There was a plate of braised dishes and a plate of smashed cucumbers on the table. Because Chen Xiangyang was coming, they also fried an extra plate of peanuts.
Seeing the fried peanuts, Chen Xiangyang's eyes lit up. He took out a bottle of beer from his bag and said, "I know you don't drink, so I brought one."
You don't need a cup to drink beer, just blow into the bottle.
With Chen Xiangyang, the chatterbox, around, the meal took more than an hour.
After dinner, he didn't stay long and went home before it got dark.
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu sent him to the door. Chen Xiangyang saw a little girl named Sun Min carrying a basin of clothes out of the house, and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going so late?"
Chen Xiangyang often came to Jiang Ling's house for dinner and visit. Sun Min recognized him from time to time, although she didn't know his name.
After Sun Min greeted Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu, she answered his question, "Let's go to the river to wash clothes."
There is a Xi River near the steel plant, which is a tributary of Chaolong River, the mother river of the northern city. The water of Xi River is clear. Many housewives nearby like to go to Xi River to wash and rinse, and children also bathe and swim in the river.
In the past, all the clothes of the grandfather and grandson of the Sun family were washed by Sun Min, a little girl in her early teens. After Old Mrs. Fang married Old Man Sun, she washed clothes for the family of three for a while.
Recently, since Old Lady Fang is pregnant, Old Man Sun is afraid of tiring her out, so he has piled all the housework and outside work on Sun Min.
Sun Min had to go to school during the day and had no time to wash clothes, so she had to go to the river to wash clothes after dinner.
"Are you alone? Or do you have someone with you?" Chen Xiangyang asked, seeing that it was unsafe for a little girl like her to go out.
Sun Min had two pigtails and looked a little sloppy without her mother around. But that was normal. Doing housework all day would inevitably make her body covered in dust.
"I'm alone." Her lively little one is either doing homework at home or playing at home, and no one needs to do housework. "But there are still many aunties washing clothes by the river, it's safe."
Chen Xiangyang was silent for a moment and said, "I'll take you there."
Jiang Ling couldn't let Chen Xiangyang go to the river alone with a ten-year-old girl. Chen Xiangyang wouldn't do anything to Sun Min, but after all, they were a single man and a single woman, and it would be troublesome if something got out in the future.
Chen Xiangyang is a good person, but he is not very cunning. He only knows how to help others and doesn't know that he should protect himself first.
Jiang Ling pulled Song Guanshu's clothes and said, "We haven't been to the river yet. It's boring to stay at home at night. Let's go to the river to relax."
Chen Xiangyang couldn't believe that Jiang Ling wanted to go to the river just for him. He said excitedly, "You have never been to the river to catch fish."
He seemed to be back home. He found a piece of cake in the kitchen and put it in an empty can. "Let's go."
Sun Min led the way in front, and Jiang Ling and the other two followed behind her not too far away.
When they reached the river, a small piece of cake had been crushed into crumbs by Chen Xiangyang.
There were a few people washing clothes by the river. Song Guanshu and Jiang Ling used to wash clothes at home with tap water.
Tap water costs money, and the space in the basin is limited, which is not enough for experienced housewives to do laundry. The spacious and free riverside is the housewives' favorite place to do laundry.
During the day, especially at noon, the sun is too strong, so housewives would choose to go to the river to wash clothes at four or five o'clock when the sun is about to set but it is not yet dark.
It is almost seven o'clock now and it is getting dark. It is difficult to see the stains when washing clothes by the river, so most of the housewives have gone home.
Women were embarrassed to bathe in public, so those who bathed in the river were men and children, with their upper bodies naked and wearing only shorts.
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu were both wearing slippers and were not afraid of getting wet. Chen Xiangyang thought that the couple could also go into the river and play with him.
The river water was not high, just reaching his knees. He stood in the river and called out to Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu to come down and play, but no one paid any attention to him.
Song Guanshu moved a bluestone slab, took off his coat and put it on the slab, and let Jiang Ling sit on it.
He still remembered that Jiang Ling was about to have her period these days and was afraid of the cold.
Chen Xiangyang stood in the river, watching the interaction between the two people, his eyes almost popped out, no wonder they had wives.
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu ignored him, but Chen Xiangyang's enthusiasm did not diminish at all. Instead, he played with strangers who were bathing in the river and competed with them in swimming in the river.
Seeing that Sun Min was washing clothes alone and looked a bit pitiful, Jiang Ling started chatting with her, asking her how old she was, what grade she was in, how her grades were in school, and which subject she did best.
Just by chatting, the little girl relaxed. She kept moving her hands and even asked Jiang Ling a few questions about things at the factory.
Jiang Ling saw the large-sized women's underwear she was washing. She asked in disbelief, "You are also required to wash Aunt Fang's underwear?"
Sun Min showed a shy smile on her face. Her facial features were three-dimensional, and she exuded a heroic spirit at a young age.
Jiang Ling held onto Song Guanshu's legs and felt like she was about to faint. Helping her pregnant step-grandmother wash her pants was beyond her current understanding.
Feeling Jiang Ling's small hand touching his thigh, Song Guanshu was stunned for a moment, then he unconsciously used his waist to tense his leg muscles.
Sun Min was still there, so Jiang Ling couldn't complain to Song Guanshu about Old Man Sun and Old Lady Fang in front of her.
Chen Xiangyang swam a few laps in the river and caught a few small fish and put them in a can.
Sun Min didn't have much clothes to wash. Seeing that she only had one piece of clothing left, Jiang Ling stood on the shore and called Chen Xiangyang to come back.
Only after hearing Jiang Ling's call did he come ashore, all wet.
Like a dog that has just taken a bath, the first thing it does when it gets ashore is to shake off the water stains on its body.
Chen Xiangyang happily showed Jiang Ling the small fish he had just caught in the can. Jiang Ling felt a little depressed because he was unable to vent his anger by complaining in time.
But it’s very interesting to watch these little fish swimming around in the glass bottle.
When I got back, there was a quarrel at Section Chief Liu's house in the front yard.
It wasn't really a quarrel, it was Old Lady Liu who was unilaterally scolding Han Hongmei, saying that she was lazy, greedy, and had poor academic performance, and she might as well be a prostitute...
The results of the high school entrance exam came out. Han Hongmei's grades were not good, so she couldn't even get into a technical high school.
Han Qingzhu's grades were pretty good and he was admitted to a teacher training technical secondary school.
Han Ruixue was reluctant to let her sister drop out of school at such a young age, so she considered letting Han Hongmei repeat a year, or spending some money and using connections to get her into a technical school.
Old Mrs. Liu has long been dissatisfied with the fact that the three Han siblings do not work and that her son is the only one doing housework in the family.
I overheard Han Ruixue and Section Chief Liu chatting behind their backs, and I was quite dissatisfied to hear that I had to spend money on this burden.
When you find an opportunity, you must act out.
Jiang Ling and the other two stood at the door and didn't go home. Sun Min said hello to them and went home with the clothes.
Jiang Ling, Song Guanshu and Chen Xiangyang were standing at the door of Liu's house, eavesdropping openly.
Although Han Hongmei is not an easy person to deal with, Old Lady Liu is her sister's mother-in-law after all. She and her younger brother Han Qingzhu still have to rely on her sister and brother-in-law for support.
When Old Lady Liu scolded her, although she was angry, she did not scold back.
Han Ruixue was the most protective of her children. After her parents passed away, her younger brother and sister were her lifeblood. How could she allow this old hag to scold her sister?
Han Ruixue also joined the battlefield. Section Chief Liu didn't dare to stop her at all. Last time, he secretly brought his mother, Liu Lei and Liu Tong home, which made Han Ruixue unhappy. He has not been able to coax her so far. If he dared to stop her again, it would probably add fuel to the fire.
Old Mrs. Liu was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law. In addition to asking her son to do housework at home, she had been using the money earned by her son to feed and support her younger siblings in the past few years after marriage, but she had not given birth to a child for her son.
Han Ruixue was beautiful. Compared to her, the previous daughter-in-law Li Jun looked too ordinary. Although she looked down on Han Ruixue, she thought that the grandson born by her and her son would definitely be good-looking. For the sake of her future grandson, she was unwilling but did not say anything.
But for so many years, her handsome grandson never came. Old Mrs. Fang and Old Man Sun, these two old men, had a child just a few months after getting married.
In comparison, she now suspects that Han Ruixue is infertile.
When Old Lady Liu was arguing with Han Ruixue, she called her a hen that couldn't lay eggs.
Han Ruixue almost exploded when she heard this name.
Liu Jianshe, who was standing by, quickly stopped his mother and said, "Please calm down. There are only a few days in this month, and look how much trouble you have caused."
Liu Jianshe thought that scolding Old Lady Liu would calm Han Ruixue down, but he underestimated women.
Han Ruixue pointed at Liu Jianshe's nose and scolded him, "Let me ask you, is it because I can't get pregnant? Is it my problem?"
Section Chief Liu was scolded so much that he was speechless.
Old Mrs. Liu was confused by the attitude of these two people. Wasn’t it Han Ruixue’s problem, but her son’s problem?
That's not right. His son and Li Jun have two children. It's impossible that he is infertile.
Is this a problem that has only occurred in the past two years? Because there is a problem with his male function, so he is humble and submissive to Han Ruixue?
But she hadn't heard that he had been injured. If he had been injured in that position, she would have heard about it.
Old Mrs. Liu didn't believe it. "My son loves you, you can't put all the blame on him."
"Didn't your son tell you that I was once pregnant, but your precious grandson pushed me and the child died." At the end, her voice was choked with sobs.
Oh no!
The three people standing outside the door and eavesdropping looked at each other. Chen Xiangyang's eyes were shining, the same look he had when Jiang Ling first moved here.
There was nothing substantive to say after listening to it. Liu Jianshe just said, "Didn't we agree not to mention this matter?"
Then Han Ruixue and Liu Jianshe started arguing.
The three of them tiptoed back home and gently opened the door.
"Our neighborhood is really... lively, even more lively than our village." Chen Xiangyang still didn't understand. He asked, "But why did they say that the old lady's grandson pushed her daughter-in-law, causing the child to die? Why did the boy push his own mother?"
"Stupid, because she's not his biological mother, she's his stepmother."
In this way, the logic makes sense.
Hearing about Liu Lei pushing a pregnant woman, Jiang Ling remembered something, "Do you know that the old lady in the front yard used to live opposite our house with her grandson?"
"That's what I was saying. Every time I came here, the lights were on across from your house. I was just about to ask, why is there no one there?"
Chen Xiangyang asked, "Then why did she move away?"
"Because the old lady's eldest grandson pushed the landlord, Old Sun's pregnant wife, Old Sun was so angry that he would rather not make any money than to drive the whole family out."
"That's not right. Your landlord seems to be quite old. The girl just now is his granddaughter. He already has a granddaughter, and his wife can still get pregnant!"
Chen Xiangyang's worldview is constantly being challenged. The amount of information is too much. "I might need to drink some wine to slow down."
Looking at the sky outside, Jiang Ling urged him to go home quickly.
Chen Xiangyang is a person who loves gossip. He doesn't want to go home now and just wants to sit here and chat with Jiang Ling.
In order to chat more, he didn't have much time to digest it, so he sat up and said, "Are you saying that the kid pushed the pregnant woman down on purpose? He pushed her stepmother before, and pushed your landlord's wife two days ago."
"Once it could have been accidental, but this is the second time, I think it was intentional."
Chen Xiangyang found it hard to imagine that there could be such a bad kid in the world. "Does he have a grudge against the landlord?"
Jiang Ling touched her chin and said, "His grandmother wanted to marry the landlord, but failed. Does this count?"
Chen Xiangyang was stunned by all this. How did a love triangle between middle-aged and elderly people get involved?
Seeing that the two were talking more and more excitedly, Song Guanshu glanced at his watch and urged them, "It's half past seven. Let's talk tomorrow. Otherwise, we will miss the last bus."
"Oh yeah, I have to go home. I'll come back tomorrow and we can talk tomorrow."
Jiang Ling took out a towel from the cupboard and handed it to Chen Xiangyang. It was the one she bought last time but had not used yet.
"Wipe it first. We haven't used this towel yet. Just take it home after you're done." She and Song Guanshu could no longer use things that had been used.
He was wet all over, and it didn't matter whether he wiped it or not. Chen Xiangyang wiped it all over with a towel. He picked up the pen that Song Guanshu had left on the table, drew a sun on the corner of the towel, and hung it on the clothesline in the yard. He said to the house,
"Let it hang outside first. Remember to bring it back home for me. I'll use it next time I come."
Before Jiang Ling could speak, the man had already run away.
The expression on Jiang Ling's face was hard to describe, so Song Guanshu said, "I'll take it back home tomorrow and put it away."
It wasn't to collect the towels, she said, "I have a feeling that Chen Xiangyang wants to move his home into ours."
Imagining the scene, Song Guanshu said firmly, "Absolutely impossible!"
After that night, the Liu family in the front yard remained quiet for a while, and there was no sound of Old Lady Liu scolding the three siblings of the Han family.
The neighbors at home also vaguely heard the quarrel that day and were talking about it behind their backs.
Jiang Ling thought that what happened that night ended like that, until the last day of July, when Han Hongmei came to her with tears in her eyes to borrow money. To be more precise, she came to borrow money from Song Guanshu.
Song Guanshu was very gentle and polite to outsiders. He smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't have any money."
Han Hongmei: ...A grown man actually had the nerve to say that he had no money. This was the first time she had seen such a shameless and vicious man.
Han Hongmei did not force it. She lowered her head, said sorry for disturbing her, and hurried away.
The next night, things got really bad.
The reason was that Miao Aijun and Han Hongmei from next door did not come home for dinner at night. The family did not take it seriously at first until they found a letter left at home, which stated that the two of them were going to the south to make money together.
Not only did these two people leave by themselves, they also took the money in the house. They ran away from home with a total of more than 200 yuan.
This made Mrs. Miao next door very angry. She felt that Han Hongmei had abducted her good son, and Han Ruixue believed that Miao Aijun had deceived her sister.
These two people, one is the biological mother and the other is the elder sister who is like a mother to her, and they are fighting each other fiercely.
Old Lady Liu had always had a disagreement with her daughter-in-law Han Ruixue. I don’t know if she had a change of heart or what, but she actually helped Han Ruixue this time.
Watched a lively fight.
After Jiang Ling returns home, she will return the money that Song Guanshu left with her.
If you let her keep it, she will have to bear a great responsibility if it is lost.
Jiang Ling went to the rat hole behind the cupboard to look for the lunch box she had hidden, "You should keep the money yourself." It didn't matter where she hid it, as long as she didn't have access to it.
Song Guanshu was originally squatting behind her, watching what she was trying to do mysteriously.
As a result, he heard these words that seemed to separate him from the others, and he stretched out his arm to hold down Jiang Ling's hand that was taking out money.
As he leaned forward, his lips brushed lightly against her small, fair earlobe.
