Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Do you want to touch it?
Jiang Ling didn't answer, but just pushed him home.
The answer is obvious, the situation must be very dangerous.
She is always like this, putting herself in danger for some insignificant people.
Song Guanshu did not resist and followed Jiang Ling's force, and the two went home together.
Jiang Ling entered the room and turned on the light. The food that Song Guanshu had carefully prepared on the table had already gone cold.
Only then did she realize that Song Guanshu seemed to be looking for her outside.
I can only blame the inconvenience of communication nowadays. The incident happened suddenly and I couldn’t notify him immediately.
"You haven't eaten yet, wash your hands first, I'll go heat up the food."
Jiang Ling has been busy till now and indeed hasn't eaten yet.
Jiang Ling felt guilty for causing Song Guanshu to look for her outside and not having eaten until now. "You take a rest. I'll go heat up the food."
Song Guanshu ignored her and went to the kitchen with the food.
Staring at the white smoke rising from the iron pot, Song Guanshu told himself in his heart that at least Jiang Ling was not going to leave him, at least she was not hurt.
You can't be angry with Jiang Ling, she has always been like this.
Jiang Ling was afraid that the stuff from the afternoon would splash on her body, so she rubbed her hands and arms with soap several times. She didn't stop until Song Guanshu came into the room with hot meals.
After dinner, Jiang Ling couldn't wait to take a shower. After taking off all her clothes, she smelled her body. She always suspected that she had a smell.
Although the destructive power of dipping a mop in shit is great, it will also have some impact on yourself. Don't use this trick next time.
Jiang Ling brought out the dirty clothes and asked Song Guanshu to go in and take a shower.
He was in no hurry to go in and take a shower. He took the dirty clothes from her hand with a cold face and asked, "Are you injured this afternoon?"
Jiang Ling stretched out ten white and slender fingers for him to see. "I'm so smart, how could I get hurt?"
Song Guanshu's pretty eyes fell on the bruise on her palm, which was caused by her using too much force when she was fighting with the thug for the mop.
Jiang Ling uncomfortably put her hands behind her back, exposing the back of her hands. "You don't know how dangerous the situation was this afternoon. Wanyue was stabbed twice by the criminals, and her body was covered in blood. No one came to help. Fortunately, Sister Yan and I passed by."
Song Guanshu doesn't care about other people's lives. He doesn't like to hear about Jiang Ling's heroic rescue. He wants to talk to her, but he is afraid that she doesn't want to listen and will get tired of her instead.
There was a long silence, and finally he just sighed, "Don't do this next time."
Jiang Ling smiled, "I know. I value my life very much. I was just planning to call the police, but then I saw it was Wanyue. I couldn't just watch her get bullied."
The next day, Jiang Ling went to the hospital to look after Tong Wanyue, and Song Guanshu went to the factory to ask for leave for her.
Tong Wanyue is worthy of being the heroine. Even though she suffered such a serious injury, she was able to walk normally the next day.
She didn't want to trouble others and kept urging Jiang Ling to go home.
But Tong Wanyue has no family, and Jiang Ling can't leave her a patient alone in the hospital.
Ding Yan did not discuss this with Jiang Ling. She took the initiative to come over in the evening to take over the bedside duties. When she came, Jiang Ling was downstairs preparing meals for Tong Wanyue.
Seeing that Tong Wanyue was in good condition, Jiang Ling felt that there was no need to stay here with her at night, and planned to go home after buying her dinner.
Jiang Ling didn't like the hospital. Even if Tong Wanyue was the most obedient patient, she would go crazy if she was asked to stay here day and night.
Even when she came to the hospital to accompany the patient, Ding Yan always dressed neatly.
When she woke up this morning, Tong Wanyue was very frightened to learn that this strange older sister had been guarding her bedside all night.
"I can do it alone."
Ding Yan brought Tong Wanyue some pig's trotter soup that she cooked herself. When the old man was still alive, she had to try her best to please him and specially found a chef to learn how to make soup and cook.
Later, Wei Ming was found, and Ding Yan hasn't cooked in the past few years.
"Try it and see if it tastes good. I wonder if my cooking skills have deteriorated."
Tong Wanyue knew Ding Yan in her previous life. Her mother-in-law and Ding Yan were old acquaintances, and Ding Yan had a good relationship with her in-laws.
She remembered that this elder sister divorced her second husband when she was almost sixty years old. It seemed that the husband had changed his mind and found another husband.
But from what I heard from her conversation with Jiang Ling just now, she had just gotten divorced a while ago.
Tong Wanyue couldn't understand, did this elder sister just divorce her first husband? But in her memory, her eldest sister's first man died of illness.
Not wanting to trouble Jiang Ling and Ding Yan any longer, Tong Wanyue stayed in the hospital for only a few days before being discharged and returning home.
Her body healed extremely quickly. In less than five days, the wounds were mostly healed. All she had to do was pay attention to her diet and avoid making large movements.
In addition to being afraid of troubling others, there was another reason that prompted her to leave the hospital in a hurry. There were only two days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even though she was the only one at home, she didn't want to spend the reunion day in the hospital.
The doctor understood her feelings and after checking that her physical condition met the discharge criteria, he allowed her to go home.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, even the busiest factories will give workers a holiday to let them go home for family reunions. The daily chemical factory gave two days off, which together with Sunday makes it a three-day holiday.
After getting up early in the morning, while the weather outside was not particularly hot, Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and meat for lunch and dinner.
Not sure if Chen Xiangyang would come for a free meal, so he brought his portion.
After lunch, an uninvited guest came to our house. My second sister Jiang He and her husband came with Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.
Originally, Jiang Ling, as the younger sister, was supposed to visit her second brother-in-law's house with gifts, but now the situation has been reversed.
Jiang Lian was wearing the now fashionable bell-bottom pants, her hair was permed into big waves, and her lips were painted red, she looked like a modern girl who walked out of a magazine.
I haven't seen Jiang He for a long time, and he has changed a lot, but he is still as flamboyant and eye-catching as before.
The second brother-in-law was dressed much more casually. He followed behind her, carrying large and small bags, like a driver.
Jiang He's voice was clear, "Your house is really hard to find. I asked so many people before I found it."
She glanced around the room and said with a little disdain, "Why do you live in a place like this? If you don't have enough money, tell your second sister to move to another place. This place is too messy."
The second brother-in-law poked Jiang He and told her not to talk nonsense, saying that such words would embarrass the third sister and her husband.
"When I was asking for directions just now, I heard that a few days ago there was a madman in your area who stabbed people with a kitchen knife on the street. It was so scary. The security here is too bad. You should move to another place. If you don't have money, I'll give it to you."
Jiang He said give, not lend.
Song Guanshu chuckled, "Jiang Ling is not afraid of this."
Jiang He frowned. She thought that her third sister's husband was incapable of giving her a better life and was still being stubborn.
After all, they had lived together for such a long time, and Jiang Ling thought she understood him. She intuitively knew that this man was going to complain.
As expected, Song Guanshu said in a slightly sarcastic tone:
"You may not know that when the stabbing incident happened a few days ago, your sister was not only at the scene, but she also rushed forward to rescue people and fought desperately with the murderer."
Jiang He was scared enough when he heard that there was a madman near his sister's house who rushed into the street with a kitchen knife and slashed people.
Who would have thought that this little bastard would be so courageous.
Jiang He's eyebrows raised when she heard this, "Jiang Ling, you are going to die!"
Jiang Ling secretly glared at Song Guanshu. Why was this guy like this? I didn't know him before. He also loved to complain.
Jiang He is the second oldest sister. Unlike the gentle Jiang Lian, she would rather use force than make a fuss when disciplining her younger siblings.
She twisted Jiang Ling's ear and said, "What are you thinking? Do you know it's dangerous? That man even dared to chop his own mother and niece. Even if you get close to him, your little arms and legs won't be enough for him to chop you twice."
They all lived in the same place, and Jiang Ling also heard that the murderer had hacked her mother and niece to death.
Upon hearing that the man was so cruel, Song Guanshu was so angry that he didn't speak to Jiang Ling for two days.
"Don't glare at Xiao Song. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know you dared to do this."
Jiang He was so angry that he patted her on the back twice.
My second brother-in-law has a good temper, otherwise he would not have tolerated my second sister's domineering behavior at home for so many years.
He stopped Jiang He and said, "My little sister knows the priorities. As long as everyone is okay, that's good."
The second brother-in-law separated the two sisters and said, "Don't blame your second sister. She is also worried about you."
Jiang Helai came to give a holiday gift, originally wanting to thank Jiang Ling for giving her advice on how to deal with Zhao Hongyun's parents and the two pairs of leeches in the Jiang family.
"Your second sister has a bad temper. If the Zhao family really cheats us out of our money, she will be so angry that she will be hospitalized."
It’s not that the family is short of the hundred or eighty yuan, but they can’t stand this humiliation.
"You were smart when you were giving me dirty tricks, but why are you so stupid when it comes to your own affairs?"
Jiang Ling lowered her head and dared not speak, for fear of attracting even greater fire.
Jiang He is different from Song Guanshu. When Song Guanshu is angry, he just ignores her and doesn't talk to her, but Jiang He has to vent her anger so that she will remember this lesson.
Jiang Ling looked so well-behaved when she lowered her head in grievance, revealing only her round and delicate nose and small chin. "I was wrong."
Jiang He didn't even have the heart to scold her anymore.
Jiang He waved her over and said, "I got you a few pairs of jeans and some clothes, all in your size."
She pinched Jiang Ling's waist with both hands, and while measuring her current waist circumference, she murmured, "Why have you gained weight? But I should be able to wear it."
Jiang Ling didn’t notice whether she had gained weight or not. She felt that she was extremely tired at work all day and must have lost weight.
Among the gifts that Jiang He brought, most were clothes.
She took out the clothes and gestured at Jiang Ling, "When I took them, I felt that they would look good on you."
Although Jiang He was the head of the second sister's family, Jiang Ling still secretly glanced at the expression of the second brother-in-law, "This should be very expensive."
"Just take it if you give it to me. It's not worth much."
She showed Jiang Ling the gold bracelet on her wrist and said, "Your second sister is rich now, so it's nothing for her to buy you two pieces of clothing."
The second brother-in-law smiled and said, "Yes, little sister, your second sister is a wealthy woman. If you want anything else, ask her to buy it for you. She often goes to Guangcheng, where there are many new things."
Jiang Ling only realized at this time, "Second sister, you went to the sea?"
Jiang He fiddled with the hair on his temples, "Yes."
Judging from her appearance, she should have earned some money, but Jiang Ling did not ask any further questions.
Instead, he asked about the Jiang family, "Did Zhao Hongyun give birth?"
Jiang He laughed sarcastically, "They said I bumped into her, and she ended up giving birth to a big fat boy, weighing 15 pounds and 6 ounces."
In this day and age, if a baby is born weighing 15.6 jin, that's considered really fat.
Jiang Ling glanced at her belly and asked, "What about your child?"
Jiang He laughed loudly, "I was harmed by the Zhao family. When they were causing trouble, they pushed me and killed my child."
Jiang He was not as indifferent as she acted. She felt that the hundred yuan she got from Zhaojiakeng was unlucky, so she donated it all to the temple.
After chatting a little more about Zhao Hongyun and the Jiang family, Jiang He and her second brother-in-law took the initiative to say goodbye.
As the host, she must try to persuade him to stay. Jiang Ling said, "Stay for dinner. Song Guanshu's cooking skills are really good."
Jiang He, "Yes, my brother-in-law is a good cook, that's why you eat like this."
Although she spoke in a complaining tone, she was actually satisfied with her brother-in-law. She had gained weight, and it was clear from this that she was living a good life after marriage.
The second brother-in-law declined politely, "Today is a holiday, and my parents are waiting for us to go home for dinner. Your sister is usually very busy, and she misses you in her heart. She wants to come to see you but can't spare the time. She will come to see you today no matter what she has time."
Jiang He just entered the yard and knew that her sister lived in such a small house. She felt sorry for her.
After entering the room, I looked around carefully and found that although the house was small, it was kept clean and tidy. It can be seen that this is a family who lives a serious life.
Jiang Ling's face looked rosy, and it was obvious that she was living a good life.
The second brother-in-law smiled and teased her, "Now you can rest assured."
Originally, when she entered the door, she was planning to secretly give Jiang Ling some money before leaving.
Seeing that she was living a good life, I gave up the idea.
Jiang He raised his chin and said, "It looks okay now, but I don't know what it will be like in the future."
After Jiang He and his wife left, Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu looked through the things she brought at home.
Jiang Ling wanted to try it on to see if it fit.
Song Guanshu said, "Rinse it with water first, then put it on."
Jiang Ling still held a grudge against him for complaining to her second sister just now, so she snorted and ignored him, but she did put down her clothes and did not force herself to go against him.
Song Guanshu smiled, "Are you angry?"
Jiang Ling turned her head away from looking at him, but snorted heavily, and it was obvious that she was angry.
The smile in his eyes grew even bigger. "So what should I do? Hit me twice to vent my anger?"
Song Guanshu coaxed in a low voice, "You can hit me anywhere, I'll hit you until you vent your anger, okay?"
Jiang Ling said strangely, "I don't have any special fetishes, why should I hit you?"
He uttered a disappointed sound.
While the two were talking, Tong Wanyue came in carrying a lot of things, and a piece of snow-white gauze was exposed around her neck.
When Jiang Ling saw this, she quickly took the package from her. Her injuries had not yet healed and could not be made worse.
Song Guanshu was very unhappy because someone disturbed his and Jiang Ling's world of two.
"Are there guests at home?" Tong Wanyue asked as she glanced at the bags of various sizes placed on the kang.
"My company gave out a lot of holiday gifts. I'm the only one in my family, so I can't finish them all. I'll bring some over for you to try."
She said a little, but in fact, most of the things issued by the unit were brought by her.
Tong Wanyue didn't just come to give Jiang Ling a holiday gift. She knew that Jiang Ling was very curious and must want to know the causes and consequences of the stabbing incident.
"The man used to be a worker at a steel factory. Later, he became addicted to gambling and went out to gamble during working hours. He was fired from the factory and lost his job. It is said that he owed several thousand yuan in gambling debts. His wife divorced him. He had nothing and lived with his parents and eldest brother. At noon that day, his mother said she wanted to go out to play cards. I don't know what triggered him, but he took a kitchen knife and chopped at his niece. His mother was chopped when he tried to snatch her granddaughter."
Jiang Ling asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time, "Does he have mental problems?"
According to the news she heard in the past few days, everyone said that the man was very honest, completely different from the crazy man she saw that day.
Tong Wanyue shook her head. "I don't know. He was sent for emergency treatment too late. He was already dead before he arrived at the hospital."
Jiang Ling was very surprised. "How could this happen? The bullet hit his leg and didn't hit any vital parts. How could this happen?"
"I don't know." Tong Wanyue lowered her head and smiled. "I don't know if it was Public Security Yang who did it. I only found out when I returned to the unit. He reported to his leader that he shot the criminal to death with his own hands."
Jiang Ling was so angry that she cursed, "He is so shameless. He fired two shots and missed. If it weren't for you, the murderer would have run away and would have continued to hurt people. How can he have the nerve to say that he was the one who shot him?"
Her face was calm, showing no emotion. "The bullet was fired from his service pistol."
"Sister Yan and I will testify for you!"
"Forget it, as long as the criminals are brought to justice and no one else is hurt, nothing else matters."
Jiang Ling was so angry that she almost died. What kind of person was that? So shameless.
He is not good at anything but grabs credit.
She was so angry that she walked back and forth on the ground. Song Guanshu silently turned on the electric fan and aimed it at her.
As the one whose credit was taken away, Tong Wanyue actually began to comfort Jiang Ling.
"I don't do this for promotion. As long as I can bring the criminal to justice and you and Sister Yan are not hurt by me, it will be a blessing in disguise."
Jiang Ling was chatting with Tong Wanyue when a loud voice came from outside the room, "Jiang Ling, Brother Song, are you home?"
The doors and windows are open, so there's no way someone is home.
Chen Xiangyang just used this method to tell his family that he was here.
Chen Xiangyang was sweating all over, "Look what good stuff I got."
He opened the fertilizer bag covering the basket to show them, and it turned out to be a basket of river crabs, which were still alive and kicking.
Unlike the three people who were watching the river crabs around the basket, Tong Wanyue was stunned when she saw Chen Xiangyang.
In her previous life, she and Xie Lang were husband and wife, and both had a very good relationship with Chen Xiangyang. The disappearance of Chen Xiangyang's body was also a great blow to her. She could always think of this sunny and cheerful friend lying silently under the cold river water after his death.
They didn’t know where to burn the paper, and they didn’t know whether he received the paper they burned secretly.
In this life, after knowing that Chen Xiangyang had not been developed into an informant by Xie Lang, she only secretly glanced at him twice where he was setting up his stall.
They don’t need to be friends in this life, as long as Chen Xiangyang is still alive.
She didn't expect that Chen Xiangyang would become good friends with Jiang Ling and his wife.
Tong Wanyue's gaze at Chen Xiangyang was too obvious, and her eyes turned red.
Chen Xiangyang looked at Jiang Ling for help. He had no memory of ever owing anyone a debt of love. The expression on this female comrade's face was too scary.
Jiang Ling called out softly, "Sister Wanyue? Sister Wanyue?"
"What's wrong?" Tong Wanyue looked at her with a smile.
Jiang Ling didn't ask her what made her so sad. She said, "Chen Xiangyang happened to bring a basket of crabs. Why don't you stay and have dinner with him? Anyway, there's no one at home. It would be so boring to be alone."
She didn't say she was lonely, she said she was bored.
"No, the meals at home are ready."
Tong Wanyue wanted to stay in her heart. There was no one at home, so she would just cook some food, listen to the radio while listening to the hustle and bustle of other people's homes, and then go to sleep.
If there are no relatives and friends around during the holidays, it is no different from any other day for her.
Jiang Ling did not allow her to refuse. "Stay and eat together. As for the matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, you don't eat as much as Chen Xiangyang. It's not for anything else, just to make it lively."
Tong Wanyue finally stayed, and the four of them worked together to prepare dinner.
Chen Xiangyang's role in the kitchen is roughly equivalent to Jiang Ling's. All he can do is wash vegetables and empty the dirty water.
Jiang Ling is even worse than him. Tong Wanyue can't bear to let her work, so she tells her to stay out of the way in the kitchen and go out to play, treating her like a child completely.
This was a huge insult to Jiang Ling. "I can light a fire."
"Chen Xiangyang is capable."
Chen Xiangyang, who is cleaning crabs:......
"Yes, I can do it. You go and take a rest."
If Song Guanshu was the only one in the kitchen, Tong Wanyue would not want to be in the same room with him and would definitely not chase Jiang Ling away to play.
Now that Chen Xiangyang is here and his presence is very strong, Jiang Ling shouldn’t have to inhale kitchen fumes.
"No, sister, I'm healthy and I don't have any injuries. You asked me to go out and play, leaving you, a patient, to work in the kitchen. I'm really a bastard."
After Jiang Ling reminded him, Chen Xiangyang noticed the gauze on Tong Wanyue's neck, "Sister Wanyue, you are injured, so don't work anymore. We can leave the kitchen to you. Go and take a rest."
"I'm fine. The doctor released me from the hospital, which means I'm almost well."
Jiang Ling said a little speechlessly, "The doctor let you go home to recuperate, not to cook."
The final result was that Jiang Ling and Tong Wanyue went to wash the fruit, and the kitchen was handed over to Song Guanshu and Chen Xiangyang.
Jiang Ling washed the grapes cleanly and showed them to the two people in the kitchen like a treasure.
"Eat two grapes before you go back to work."
Chen Xiangyang was chopping wood. He wiped his hands casually and then picked some grapes, even eating the skins.
There was chicken stewing in the pot, and Song Guanshu was picking crabs from the steamer in the pot.
He glanced at the grapes in the basin. The purple grapes were still covered with water drops, which looked very tempting. In fact, he didn't want to eat them, but he said, "I don't have any free hands. Feed me."
Jiang Ling didn't think much about it. She peeled the grape skin cleanly and stuffed the grape flesh into his mouth.
She glanced at Chen Xiangyang and Tong Wanyue outside the door like a thief, and when no one noticed her, she wiped her fingertips on her pants.
The dishes were served one after another. Chen Xiangyang went to find his special cup and saw rice wine placed beside it. This was a gift from the owner of the restaurant that Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu often visited. It was their own homemade wine.
He opened the bottle and smelled it, and found it smelled delicious.
He poured a glass each for himself, Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu. When it was Tong Wanyue's turn, he remembered that she was still injured and couldn't drink, so he dug out a bottle of soda for her.
After all, it was Mid-Autumn Festival, and Jiang Ling was willing to drink a little wine to celebrate.
There would definitely be no dull moment where Chen Xiangyang was. He asked why Tong Wanyue was injured.
Tong Wanyue briefly described to him how she was scratched by a kitchen knife while fighting with the gangster.
I found out that she was actually a female police officer. Chen Xiangyang was immediately filled with awe.
"Jiang Ling's little arms and legs, how could she help you subdue the criminals?" Chen Xiangyang asked in disbelief, "How did she do it?"
Tong Wanyue glanced at the people who were eating, "In this situation, you definitely don't want to know how she did it."
The rice wine tasted sweet, and Jiang Ling drank it sip after sip.
The alcohol content of this wine seems to be quite high. I didn't feel anything when I drank it, but I felt dizzy after the aftereffect.
Chen Xiangyang, who was sitting opposite, was drunk. Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion. Although he had company, he still missed his family. He sang in an unpleasant and off-tune voice: "I have a home to return to, but you have no home. We are both wanderers in this world..."①
Thanks to his awful singing, the feeling of sadness is lost and it simply exists as noise pollution.
Apart from him, the remaining three people have no home.
Because she was too lonely, Tong Wanyue in her previous life longed to have her own home and wanted to not be alone at home when all the families gathered together.
She made the decision to start a family when she was still immature, which caused her to often regret it in the future. Now that she already has a husband and children, she has established her own small family and is no longer alone.
Later she thought that she had probably never thought about what kind of person she wanted to be.
Actually, it’s pretty good now. I don’t have any family, but I don’t feel lonely.
I just think it's noisy.
Why didn’t I realize in my previous life that Chen Xiangyang’s singing was so bad?
Tong Wanyue didn't drink, Song Guanshu only took a sip, and they were the only two sober people left at the table.
"Let me take him home." Tong Wanyue said.
There was no place in this house for Chen Xiangyang to stay overnight. Tong Wanyue remembered very clearly where Chen Xiangyang lived.
Although he didn't like Tong Wanyue, Song Guanshu couldn't let a lesbian like her send a drunkard home in the middle of the night.
He said, "I'll talk to the landlord and ask him to stay across the street tonight."
When Song Guanshu went to find Old Man Sun, Tong Wanyue cleaned up the leftovers on the table, put the edible ones into the cupboard, and threw away all the inedible ones.
When you eat at someone else's house, you can't just eat and not work.
After settling Chen Xiangyang, only Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu were left in the room.
She was very well behaved when she was drunk. She didn't make any noise or trouble, but just stared at him without blinking.
She didn't turn her head when Song Guanshu changed his clothes.
For a long time recently, Song Guanshu did not avoid Jiang Ling when changing clothes. She usually turned her head or closed her eyes.
Jiang Ling didn't feel that she was drunk, she felt that she was just slightly tipsy.
She herself didn't notice that the so-called tipsy state made her thinking dull and her actions bold.
The tight waist and abdomen lines, and the sharp contours under the light and shadow made her eyes linger.
If Jiang Ling wasn't drunk, she wouldn't have stared at him all the time.
Song Guanshu sneered in his heart. She was more real when she was drunk and would not hide her thoughts.
He walked in front of Jiang Ling, and the visual impact was even more obvious.
His voice tempted Pandora to open the box and release her true desires, "Want to touch it?"
