The fourth day of being eavesdropped
Gu Jinshui didn’t come back until after eight o’clock, and the lights were still on at home.
He took off his hat, sat on a chair, and ate the noodles left at home. Liang Ying came out holding Gu Yousi, and He Chunlian and her daughter also came out.
He Chunlian asked, “Eat slowly, look at you, didn’t you eat something outside to fill your stomach?”
“I ate, and I digested it long ago.”
Gu Jinshui slurped up a bowl of noodles and then put down his chopsticks.
He looked at everyone and said, “Let’s go and ask about Chen Shiwen’s situation today. There’s something wrong with that kid, but those educated youth won’t say it.”
“He definitely won’t say it. Chen Shiwen set a trap for them and let them steal the white bread he brought. How dare they say it?”
Gu Yousi muttered in his heart.
It really worked!
Gu Jinshui and Liang Ying made eye contact.
Liang Ying said, "What can we do? If we cancel the engagement because of the lack of betrothal gifts, people will laugh at us."
"Brother, I won't marry that bastard. He even went to the hospital to harass me today!"
Gu Yinxing clenched his fists, his teeth clacking.
"He dared?! He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Gu Jinshui's face darkened, and he asked with his fists clenched.
Gu Yinxing said, "No, he wanted to be a hooligan, but was caught by the PLA comrades, and I beat him up!"
Speaking of this, Gu Yinxing felt relieved.
He Chunlian, Gu Jinshui and others were shocked, but seeing that Gu Yinxing was not scared and looked happy, they were helpless.
"Jinshui, we have to think of a solution quickly. If it doesn't work, just give up," He Chunlian said, "Just say that I don't like the kid from the Chen family."
"Go ask Uncle Chen Shiwen about this. His uncle borrowed a sum of money, and his aunt doesn't know anything about it!"
Gu Yousi became more and more anxious as he listened. He stammered a few times, but he really had no language talent and couldn't speak.
Liang Ying and others' eyes lit up.
Gu Jinshui remained calm: "Mom, don't worry. I'll ask his relatives tomorrow to see what the situation is. Those who know the situation have revealed that this person can't get married. I only have one sister, Yinxing, and I must find out about her marriage."
"Then you should pay more attention."
He Chunlian was relieved.
Gu Jinshui took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "Mom, keep the money I made today for household expenses."
That stack of banknotes was not small, at least twenty or thirty.
Gu Yinxing's attention was immediately attracted by the money, "Brother, can you really make so much money by selling junk?"
Gu Jinshui sneered, "That depends on who is doing it. Don't think of it with your brain. Just be a nurse."
He took out two yuan and sent Gu Yinxing away.
After returning to the house, Gu Jinshui took out a can of vanishing cream from his pocket and handed it to Liang Ying: "You can apply this when you go to work at night. People say that applying this on your face will make it less uncomfortable."
Liang Ying rolled her eyes at him, and seeing the lady staring at her, she smiled and turned the vanishing cream to apply a few dabs of it on the lady's face, "Don't spend money on me indiscriminately. If you have money, eat more good food outside, and don't go home with a stomachache every time."
"I know my wife loves me."
Gu Jinshui hugged Liang Ying's waist, and his hand moved up in an unruly manner.
He saw Gu Yousi watching from the side, coughed, picked up the child and sent him to He Chunlian's room.
The next day.
Liang Ying worked the night shift until noon and came back. When she came back, she saw her mother-in-law taking care of the children at home and asked, "Mom, why did you come back so early today?"
He Chunlian said, "The school thing is over, I can officially go on winter vacation. I was given two cans of canned food and four bottles of soda."
She raised her finger and pointed to the cabinet in the east room.
They cooked outside, but kept the things in He Chunlian's room. There were people coming and going in this big compound, and she was afraid that someone would touch the things.
Liang Ying took a look and said with a smile, "Hey, what are you thinking? Distributing soda in the middle of winter?" "That's
right. Our school's performance is not good and our leaders are incompetent." Speaking of this, He Chunlian complained, "Other schools distribute food coupons, industrial coupons and canned meat, but our school is so stingy and only distributes these few things."
"It's better to have something than nothing,"
Liang Ying said, "I don't know what New Year's gift our textile factory will give out this year. I think some meat would be the most practical."
Gu Yousi moved his ears when he heard this, and felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.
While she was thinking, she heard someone outside shouting, "Auntie He, Auntie He."
He Chunlian recognized Douzi's voice and quickly raised the curtain. It was Douzi outside. Douzi was riding a worn-out bicycle. When he saw He Chunlian coming out, he hurriedly said, "Auntie, hurry up and follow me. Something happened!"
He Chunlian's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Liang Ying and guessed that it was about the incident with Chen Shiwen.
She hurriedly handed the child to Liang Ying: "You stay at home and take care of it. I'll be back soon."
"Well, be careful, Mom." Liang Ying warned.
Liang Ying watched Douzi and He Chunlian leave. Lin Lianhua from next door came out and asked, "Liang Ying, what happened? Where did your mother go?"
Lin Lianhua had a gentle and amiable smile on her face, but her eyes flickered. Liang Ying said indifferently, "How should I know?"
"..." Lin Lianhua was stunned. Although she was unhappy in her heart, she did not leave. Instead, she smiled and said, "Do you know? I heard that our factory is going to give TV tickets to the seniors in the factory. Xu Wen can get a great deal this time."
Hearing about the TV tickets, Sun Daye from next door said, "Is it true? This TV ticket is worth a lot of money."
"That's right."
Lin Lianhua said while looking at Liang Ying: "I heard that a TV ticket is worth two or three hundred on the black market."
Grandpa Sun was amazed: "Two or three hundred, Jianshe's wife has made a fortune this time."
"If you ask me, Jianshe's wife should express her gratitude to Liang Ying," Lin Lianhua said: "Originally, the factory leader was Liang Ying's, but who knew that the leader said that Liang Ying's background was not good, so..."
"Lianhua, I don't mean that."
Liang Ying interrupted Lin Lianhua, "If you think the leader is wrong, go and tell the leader."
She was really impatient to listen to Lin Lianhua, so she put down the curtain and went into the house to warm herself by the fire.
Grandpa Sun looked at the cotton curtain, then at Lin Lianhua, "Well, I'm going to cook."
Grandpa Sun went into the house to get some food, but Aunt Sun pinched his ear and said, "Why are you nagging them? They don't get along, so let's not get involved."
"Hey, you old woman, let go."
Grandpa Sun's voice came faintly.
Liang Ying had no time to worry about this at the moment. She was worried about how things were going between her husband and her mother-in-law.
Chen's family.
Gu Jinshui pushed away Chen's father who came to stop the fight and punched Chen Shiwen in the face, making Chen Shiwen see stars.
Chen's father was so anxious that he turned to his brother-in-law and said, "Uncle, you just watch, go up and help."
His brother-in-law Sun Guoqiang wanted to go up, but was stopped by his wife.
His wife sneered and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you go up? Our Guoqiang is also old. How can he help with his old arms and legs? What's more, this incident today was caused by you in your family."
Chen's father's face almost turned green.
He looked at Sun Guoqiang.
Sun Guoqiang felt a little guilty, but when he thought about the scolding he had just received at home, he felt that he was really innocent this time. "Brother-in-law, don't look at me. I have been very kind to your family. I lent you hundreds of dollars. You wanted to deceive the daughter of the Gu family. It is understandable that they came to your house. I can't help you."
When Chen's father heard this, he almost fainted from anger.
The people around didn't know what was going on at first. They all thought that the Chen family was bullied. As a result, after hearing this, it turned out that there was something fishy going on.
An old lady asked, "What's going on? Old Chen, do you want to call the police?"
"No, we can't." Father Chen was anxious and shook his head quickly, "This, this is a small matter. There is no need to trouble the police with this."
"What you said sounds nice!"
He Chunlian and Douzi came at this time and heard this. She put her hands on her waist and said, "Of course you dare not call the police. Of course you dare not let anyone know about your family's trivial matters."
"Relatives, relatives!" Father Chen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He begged He Chunlian not to tell it, his eyes full of pleading.
He Chunlian snorted coldly. She saw an old lady with a red armband coming over here, and hurried to meet her. "Big sister, you came at the right time. Please judge for us. Our family was originally planning a marriage with their family, and the couple was talking well, but who knew that we heard some rumors outside that Chen Shiwen had a wife and children in Yunnan!"
It was rush hour at this time, and the neighbors were all coming back from work to cook. Because of the excitement at the Chen family, they came over to watch. When they heard this, everyone started talking.
"It can't be, Chen Shiwen doesn't seem like that kind of person." An old lady said doubtfully.
"They've come to our house to beat us up. It can't be that they're beating us up for no reason." A man leaned over to see the excitement and muttered, "If they got married while they were sent to work in the countryside and then pretended not to be married when they came back to Beijing, then it's no wonder that the woman is upset."
The woman in charge of the bureau committee frowned as she heard everyone talking.
She saw Gu Jinshui beating Chen Shiwen and thought it was inappropriate. She said hurriedly, "Stop beating him up. Let's talk it out. If the Chen family really has done you wrong, I'll take care of it for you."
"Jinshui, don't stop!"
He Chunlian quickly gave Gu Jinshui a look.
Gu Jinshui understood and let go. Chen Shiwen covered his face and pointed at Gu Jinshui: "Director Liu, you have to do me justice!"
"Director Liu," He Chunlian turned her head and looked at Director Liu, "Although our family is not a rich family, we love our daughter. My daughter has had a hard life since she was young. She lost her father when she was three or four years old. I, a widow, raised this pair of children and hoped that they would find a good partner. I don't ask for any good conditions, just that the children are good. But this happened..."
He Chunlian took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped her eyes, and tears fell.
Douzi was stunned.
Aunt He's ability really deserves that she came from a drama troupe. She can change her face at any time.
He was in a daze when he saw He Chunlian winking at him crazily from under the handkerchief. The eyes almost twitched.
Douzi then reacted and quickly said, "Auntie He, don't cry. Director Liu is here and will definitely give you and your family justice!"
With just a few words, Gu Jinshui and his mother, who were supposed to be punished, instantly became the victims.
Director Liu was also a discerning person.
But she did not expose the truth, but said, "It's useless to quarrel outside. Let's go inside. Auntie He, don't feel wronged. If what you said is true, I will take care of it for you today."
