Chapter 78 If I weren’t here, you would be bullied to death!
At the same time.
In another car, Huo Jianguo was giving instructions to guard Chen Zhou.
"When the noise starts, you can hide in the crowd and shout, 'It's so unfair for Lao Chen to run away like this', 'Actually Lao Chen left something behind, but someone stole it'. Change places, use different accents, and shout in different voices."
Chen Zhou nodded: "Yes, General."
Chen Yuxiang scolded, "You just said this in vain. Do you think Lingyu doesn't know? She must know her limits and have ways to deal with it. She won't tarnish your son's reputation!"
Huo Jianguo was still worried: "After all, he is a young man, and sometimes we have to check him. If your son's leg is cured, he will definitely continue to develop in the army, and his reputation must not be damaged, especially when it comes to style issues."
"Okay, okay, it's up to you."
Huo Jianguo added: "Do you think you should first give your daughter-in-law a heads-up before the commotion starts?"
"Huh!" Chen Yuxiang rolled her eyes at him and was too lazy to pay any attention to him.
Huo Jianguo: “…”
He has recently felt that he has become less and less authoritative at home and his position as the head of the family is in jeopardy. When did this start?
…
Three military green jeeps drove to Chenjia Lane, immediately attracting residents who were cooling off after dinner.
Wang Yu opened the car door, and Su Lingyu gracefully got out of the car. She looked around with her beautiful eyes, and under everyone's astonished gazes, she walked across the uneven bluestone floor in her high heels and came to the gate of Chen Mancang's courtyard.
I raised my hand and knocked on the door, but as expected, no one answered.
She turned to look at the crowd that had gathered around her, crossed her arms over her chest, and asked in a sweet voice, "Does anyone know where Chen Mancang went?"
Someone asked, "Why are you looking for Chen Mancang? Looking at the situation, you are not going to cause trouble for him, are you?"
Su Lingyu frowned, "Nonsense! If I don't bother him, should I give him a gift?! He tormented my husband for so long, and suddenly he ran away with the door closed. Shouldn't I come here to ask for an explanation?"
Huo Yan had just gotten out of the car and was about to get into the wheelchair, but when he heard her words, he paused for a moment.
"Brother!" Huo Xiang ran up to him and stamped her feet excitedly, "Did you hear that? Sister-in-law just called you husband, hehe."
Huo Yan's ears felt hot, and he whispered solemnly, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I didn't say anything nonsense, you clearly heard it!" Huo Xiang stuck out his tongue, made a face at him and ran away, as if he was in a hurry to watch a show.
Huo Yan: “…”
Pinching his earlobe, he couldn't help but reveal a smile in his eyes.
Someone else asked Su Lingyu: "Big sister, who is your husband?"
"My husband..."
Wait, Su Lingyu was suddenly stunned. Why did she call Huo Yan "husband"? Did she call him too quickly and without thinking? It clearly didn't rain in the past two days, so her brain was not wet!
"Who is it?" the man continued to ask.
Huo Yan controlled the wheelchair and walked forward to the steps of the courtyard. Not far from Su Lingyu, he controlled the wheelchair and faced everyone, saying calmly, "It's me."
Su Lingyu looked at his strong and tall back and blinked her bright almond eyes. The uneasy feeling in her heart suddenly became stronger.
Someone in the crowd recognized Huo Yan and shouted, "Oh, it's that soldier! He's been here every day recently!"
"He asked Old Chen to treat his leg, but Old Chen made things difficult for him and asked him to fetch water from his home every day!"
"Chen Mancang is really not kind. He made things difficult for me for a few days and then suddenly ran away. No wonder my wife is worried."
"That's right. If my man was bullied like this, I would be furious too!"
“…”
Su Lingyu clapped her hands.
After attracting everyone's attention, she said loudly: "Anyone who knows where Chen Mancang went, and what he did before he left, can tell me. I'm putting this here, whoever can provide me with effective clues, I'll give two dollars on the spot! If you provide important clues, I'll give you ten dollars!"
As soon as she said this, the onlookers burst into exclamations of joy.
Don’t think that two dollars doesn’t sound like much, but at that time, a pound of meat was only one dollar and sixty cents! Providing a clue can earn two dollars, and buying more than a pound of meat for the family to improve the diet, is this a good deal?
The most important thing is, it’s free!
Money makes the world go round. Chen Zhou, who was arranged by Huo Jianguo, was of no use at all. The lively neighbors talked about all the clues they knew.
"Chen Mancang's grandson is missing. He must have gone to look for him."
"His grandson is not very smart. I don't know if he was taken away by a trafficker or someone from his son-in-law's family. Sister, if you want to find him, you can go to Qingshui Village to look for him."
“…”
Suddenly, a man with tattoos on his arms stood up and said loudly, "Last night, I saw Chen Mancang handing a letter and a wooden box to someone, saying something like 'forward' and 'treat the leg'. Is this information an important clue? Can I exchange it for ten yuan? If so, I'll tell you the man's name!"
As soon as he said this, a short man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks in the crowd turned pale, turned around and walked home.
The system's baby voice immediately sounded: [Host, the person who ran away is called Chen Wangcai, the bad guy who stole the letter and medicine! He is going home now, maybe he wants to destroy the evidence! ]
[I also found out that he coaxed Chen Mancang's grandson out of the Chen family and gave him to the family of Chen Mancang's son-in-law. He is not a good person, even worse than us!]
Su Lingyu: [Yes, I understand.]
"Of course it's an important clue, of course!" Su Lingyu made a prompt decision, threw the calfskin envelope in his hand to Wang Yu, and said, "Give this big brother the money."
"Haha, straightforward!" The tattooed man said without further ado, "That man's name is Chen Wangcai, and he lives across the street from Chen Mancang. You guys should go find him right away."
Su Lingyu said: "Thank you for leading the way, big brother. I will reward you later!"
The man with the flowery arms' eyes lit up: "Okay!"
Without Su Lingyu's instructions, as soon as the tattooed man moved, Wang Yu and several other guards immediately followed and rushed into Chen Wangcai's house.
Chen Wangcai was just about to hide the letter and the medicine in the wooden box when he was caught red-handed.
This time, we have gained both the life and the property!
Without much effort, Su Lingyu got the letter and medicine, making the thief Chen Wangcai lose face in front of his neighbors, and it was also a relief for Huo Yan.
She told Wang Yu: "Give money to the neighbors, two yuan each."
She pointed at the man with tattoos and said, "Give that guy another ten yuan as a reward for his hard work."
The man with tattoos immediately grinned with satisfaction. The other neighbors who provided clues were also happy as if it was New Year's Day.
Su Lingyu was also very satisfied.
Huo family: "..."
After getting the things, there was no need to stay in Chenjia Lane for long. The family would go back the same way they came.
After getting in the car, Huo Jianguo couldn't help but sigh: "Why didn't I think that I could use money to make people talk? I told Chen Zhou in vain."
"You've fought so much that your brain is full of muscles." Chen Yuxiang said to him in a harsh tone.
Huo Xiang burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Huo Jianguo didn't dare to confront his wife, but he was not so polite to his daughter.
Huo Xiang sat up straight in an instant: "I was laughing at my sister-in-law for calling big brother hubby just now, and she did it in front of so many people! Didn't you see that big brother's ears were red with embarrassment!"
"You useless thing, you only know how to be shy!" Huo Jianguo snorted.
Chen Yuxiang sneered: "You have a lot of potential. When you were pursuing me, why did you even stutter? If you talk about my son again, I will punish you in my room!"
Huo Jianguo: “……?”
Forget it, keep the good tradition of the Huo family and don’t talk back to your wife, absolutely not!
What he didn't know was that in the car in front, his son, whom he had just called "a loser", had become successful.
After getting in the car, Su Lingyu looked at the letter and the wooden box containing medicine in her hand with satisfaction, with a slight smile on her lips.
"So, you still want to rely on me?" She proudly waved the things in her hand at Huo Yan, "If it weren't for me, you would be bullied to death!"
"Yes." Huo Yan nodded readily.
After Su Lingyu put away the wooden box containing the medicine, he picked up the letter and began to open it. When the opportunity was right, he raised his hand and held her hand, interlocking their fingers as before and holding it tightly.
Su Lingyu struggled hard, and the man's face turned red, but he refused to loosen his hands at all.
She felt a little dizzy and couldn't help typing: [Why is Huo Yan acting so strange today? Why is he holding my hand again?]
[This piece of shit, is he addicted? ]
