Chapter 58: Alone and alone
Jiang Yu pulled out a revolver from behind his back and told her, "There are six bullets in here for you to defend yourself in a critical moment. Do you know how to use them?"
"I've seen others use it. Just aim at the person and shoot." Rong Zhen took the gun without looking up, and did not say that his shooting skills were actually quite good.
Jiang Yu chuckled and nodded, "Yes, if anyone threatens your life, you should just kill them."
Rongzhen: "I threatened you with a gun first, and then I shot you if you didn't listen. Don't blame me then."
"That's fine." Jiang Yu didn't force her to act as decisively as he did.
Rong Zhen accepted the small gift, turned around and snuggled in Jiang Yu's arms, raised her head and said embarrassedly: "You came back specially to give me something, but I haven't prepared anything for you yet."
Jiang Yu: "Why didn't you send it to me? You gave it to me a long time ago."
Under Rong Zhen's puzzled gaze, he took out a familiar embroidered purse from his bosom. It was the one she had used to 'bribe' him with silver coins on the day they met.
"You still have it?" Rongzhen was very surprised after recognizing it.
Jiang Yu raised the purse and kissed it on his lips. "You gave it to me, so of course I'll keep it."
Rongzhen's heart was burning. She twisted her body and said coquettishly, "The real one is in your arms, why are you kissing it?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yu looked up at him, his eyes seemed to be hiding fire.
The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and a spark ignited and quickly turned into a raging flame.
The moment the temperature reaches the critical point, even the air seems to be burning, and ambiguity and tension fill and permeate the surroundings.
Rong Zhen's face gradually turned red, and she was reluctant to look away for a moment, but her hands very honestly grabbed Jiang Yu's clothes on his chest, the tighter they grabbed, the more they could feel each other's heartbeats getting faster and faster.
Jiang Yu's Adam's apple rolled, and his fiery gaze slid from her beautiful eyebrows and eyes to her pink lips. He turned over and said hoarsely, "A belated wedding night, do you want it?"
Rongzhen didn't know how to respond and was almost dying of embarrassment.
So she chose to use actual actions instead of words. She closed her eyes, carefully stuck out the tip of her tongue, and then tremblingly hooked his lips.
Everything is self-evident. The flame of desire spreads across the land in an instant, raging like an overwhelming force.
When Rongzhen woke up the next day, she felt sore but refreshed. She reached out to touch her side, and as expected, it was empty.
He came back quietly and left quietly. If it weren't for the gun under the pillow and the strange feeling on his body after the incident, she might have thought he had never come back.
When we finished packing and went downstairs to eat, Auntie Pang brought us a bowl of red date and white fungus soup with a special taste. "Madam, before he left, my husband specifically told me to replenish your qi and blood. This is specially prepared for you. Drink it while it's hot."
Rong Zhen, who had seen pigs run and eaten pork before, understood what this meant, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush.
Rongzhen looked at her with a twinkle in her eyes and told her to put it aside for now, and it would not be too late to drink it after she finished her meal.
Aunt Pang brought a small charcoal stove from the kitchen and placed the bowl of porridge on it to keep it warm.
Seeing this combination, Rongzhen thought of A Cui.
A Cui was not idle during her vacation. She took the opportunity to help her retrieve the replies to her previous new manuscript while she was out strolling.
The article she wrote to advertise her own tofu shop had been accepted. Rongzhen guessed that it might be because it contained some recipes for making soy products, and the story was also quite novel, so the newspaper editor didn't mind her extra thoughts.
This time the manuscript fee is still the price for a newcomer, plus the results of several other articles that have been published, I got another seven or eight yuan in total.
The money is not much, but it is valuable because it can be accumulated over time, and there will be a lot of room for growth in the future.
Rongzhen was in a good mood just thinking about it and rewarded A Cui with a silver dollar.
Ah Cui happily accepted it, and seeing her rosy face, she took the opportunity to ask, "Miss, why is my son-in-law not home all the time? Could he have run off with someone?"
"Don't worry, he just has his own things to do." Rong Zhen said without revealing a word.
Ah Cui grumbled in dissatisfaction: "What can he do?"
Rongzhen looked at her and didn't answer.
The little cat came running over meowing and jumped into Rongzhen's arms. The two masters and pets ran to the big plum tree to play.
"A Cui, you've crossed the distance." Aunt Fat appeared behind A Cui at some point, and her cold warning made A Cui shiver subconsciously.
Ah Cui didn't expect to be caught red-handed, so she defended herself by saying, "I, I didn't ask anything. I just saw the young lady was alone at home, and the son-in-law was nowhere to be seen."
Aunt Fat ignored her excuses. "You can't find out about the husband's whereabouts. Don't think we don't know what you're doing. We can occasionally cooperate for mutual benefit, but don't set your sights on the husband and the mistress. Otherwise, the consequences will be something you won't be able to bear."
A Cui admitted that she was too impatient and gave up the idea of getting information from Rong Zhen in shame.
As the weather gets colder and the New Year approaches quietly, Rongzhen and her colleagues' soy product factory is booming, preparing to make a big sale during the New Year.
Everyone has invested money in it and takes this small business very seriously. The president specially asked his relatives in America to mail a package of high-yield soybeans there, and they plan to find a place to plant them together in the spring of next year.
However, to grow this kind of soybeans, you first need fertilizer. So after the soybean products factory became a hit and quickly got on track, Rong Zhen and a few others discussed plans to open a fertilizer factory. In any case, they would not let themselves be idle.
Rongzhen also learned from this experience that the president had channels in America, and tried to ask her to bring back some local specialties.
In addition to high-yield soybeans, there are also high-yield corn, potatoes, turkeys, large white pork and other good things. As long as you can get some, money is not a problem.
The president said that her relatives had cooperative relations with the farm there, so it was easier for them to get things like seeds. Although the quantity could not be too much, they could just reproduce for two more years after bringing them back.
However, the Big White Pig is closely guarded and may not be easily obtained. Also, turkey meat is not very tasty. Don’t be fooled by its large size, it actually tastes very tough and is not as fresh and delicious as the small native chickens raised by local Chinese farmers.
Rongzhen said it didn't matter, they would just try to get as much as they could. There was no rush and they could take it slowly. Once they made more money, they would be able to buy the things back with the money. As long as it was profitable, they didn't believe that no one would give in.
As for the issue of turkey not being tasty, no matter how unpalatable it is, it is still meat. Once it is raised, those who love and admire Western things will naturally come to buy it. The remaining scraps can be sold cheaply to ordinary people, giving them an occasional meal.
In this way, you can not only make money but also make some contribution to society. What a meaningful thing it is.
Zhao and others' eyes lit up after hearing this, and they began to plan to open a breeding farm.
The president watched them make two big plans in a row as if they were joking, all of them looking full of energy and enthusiasm. He shook his head in amusement and agreed to Rongzhen's request.
In the past, the Jinxiu Society only talked about highbrow things. Since Rong Zhen came in, the style seemed to have changed all of a sudden, but it was not annoying.
No matter what, what they did were practical and good things. Even their families didn't object when they found out, and just thought they were playing house.
Time flies in the busy life. The school is on winter vacation and the Chinese New Year is just a few days away.
Aunt Pang and several servants in the house were busy preparing New Year's goods, and each item had to be brought to Rongzhen for her review.
Rongzhen understood that she was worried that she would be bored, so she found an opportunity to ask her alone, "Will Jiang Yu come back for the New Year?"
The smile on Aunt Fat's face froze, and she quickly concealed it, but Rongzhen saw it clearly.
What’s going on? Did something happen to Jiang Yu?
Auntie Pang didn't know that Rong Zhen had noticed something was wrong, so she tried to cover it up by saying, "Well, the master didn't tell me. Things haven't been settled yet, so I might be back a little late."
Rongzhen knew that she was tight-lipped and wouldn't easily reveal anything she didn't want to say, so she deliberately covered her chest and tested her: "But I've been so nervous lately, and I always feel like something's wrong. Is he really okay out there?"
"Of course, sir, you are very capable, madam, don't worry." Auntie Pang said in a loud voice, as if it were the truth.
Rongzhen believed her on the surface, and later went straight to the Chinese medicine clinic on the pretext of having a follow-up checkup for her feet.
A Cui accompanied her as usual, and when they were near the door, she assigned her a task.
Rong Zhen: "A Cui, go quietly to the Special Intelligence Bureau and bring over the men of our savior. I need to talk to him."
"Miss?" A Cui was surprised and puzzled.
Rongzhen didn't explain, but just told her to be careful and not to be discovered. If that didn't work, she should come back first and not stay there too long.
A Cui left to do it, leaving Rong Zhen to go into the Chinese medicine clinic alone.
She was not lying about coming for a follow-up visit. While asking A Cui to ask Jiang Yu's men for help, she also sought confirmation from the old Chinese doctor during the follow-up visit, wanting to ask about Jiang Yu's condition.
Unfortunately, the old Chinese doctor is selectively deaf. If he doesn’t want to answer or doesn’t know, he just pretends not to hear.
Rong Zhen had no choice but to do rehabilitation while waiting for Jiang Yu's men to arrive.
Ah Cui felt guilty, so she used all her skills to perfectly carry out her instructions and quietly called the person over.
The old Chinese doctor was very considerate at this time and gave up a small pharmacy for them to talk.
Rong Zhen asked Ah Cui to guard the door, while she looked at Jiang Yu's men who avoided her gaze and dared not speak. She sighed, "Did something happen to him? Don't hide it from me."
Jiang Yu's men wanted to smile and say no, but when they thought about the missing director, they couldn't force a smile.
Finally, he wiped his face and reluctantly said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's just a small problem. The director is so capable, he will definitely solve it quickly and go home."
Rongzhen couldn't get the answer, so she confronted him for a long time and was finally defeated.
Rong Zhen: "Okay, I'll believe you for now. Tell him that if possible, I hope he can come back to spend New Year's Eve with me."
Jiang Yu's men nodded repeatedly. They responded readily in front of Rong Zhen, but their expressions were miserable after she left.
The eldest brother is missing, how can he send a message and ask someone to go home to spend New Year's Eve with his sister-in-law?
Because of this incident, Jiang Yu's subordinates became ruthless and secretly mobilized almost all the manpower and material resources, and finally found out Jiang Yu's current whereabouts before New Year's Eve.
Afterwards, he didn't dare to see Rongzhen, so he passed a small note to her through Aunt Pang.
There was a line of small words written on the note: We are trapped in the enemy's nest, our situation is unknown, we are trying to contact them, don't worry.
Rong Zhen's face changed after seeing this. How could he not be worried?
"What's wrong, Miss?" A Cui suddenly appeared and caught a glimpse of the contents on the note before Aunt Pang could destroy it.
Aunt Fat gave her a warning glare.
Ah Cui turned around and asked Rong Zhen, "Miss, do you want to save your uncle?"
