On the way home from get off work, He Ruixue rode her bicycle home.
When passing by the alley on the street, I ran into Zhao Jiajia arguing with a man.
When I got closer, I saw that the man was an acquaintance.
Chen Wanli, the second son of the Chen family in the yard, is the one whose girlfriend was stolen away by his eldest brother.
She rang the bell, drawing the two men's attention. "Chen Wanli, what are you doing? Stopping people on the street?"
Chen Wanli quickly let go of his hand and held it in front of him, "Sister, I am...she was the one who pulled me first..."
He is really not good at speaking, otherwise he would not be afraid of performing poorly in front of his father-in-law and would ask his eldest brother for help.
While he wasn't paying attention, Zhao Jiajia stuffed a basket of eggs into his arms and said, "Take it. Thanks to you, my mother was able to save her life this time."
He Ruixue supported herself on one leg on the ground, her eyes swept across the man and woman, she felt that the atmosphere between them was not right, could something be going on?
Before she could ask, Zhao Jiajia blurted out everything.
It turned out that she got the money from her former scumbag boyfriend and used it to improve her home right away.
I go to the pharmacy to get better medicine for my mother, buy new clothes for my younger brothers and sisters, and the house can often smell the aroma of meat.
Neighbors noticed that her mother Li Hongfang looked much better than before and could often go out for a walk. They thought that it was because her condition had improved and the family was no longer burdened that things were getting better.
But there are a few rotten-to-the-roots second-rate guys living around the Zhao family. They don’t need to show off their wealth. As long as they live a little better than others, they will be targeted.
Today, Li Hongfang took some money and planned to go to the market to buy vegetables. However, on the way home, someone robbed her of all her money and belongings. She lost more than three yuan and some bills.
It wasn't a big deal that she lost something, but she was pushed to the ground during the struggle and accidentally hit her head, and she couldn't even get up.
Chen Wanli happened to pass by and helped her up and sent her to the hospital. The doctor said that if she had come any later, her life might have been in danger.
Zhao Jiajia was both scared and grateful to Chen Wanli, but she was busy arranging for her mother to return home and didn't have time to thank him.
Zhao Jiajia had inquired about it and found out that Chen Wanli was a simple and kind-hearted person, but he was not very good at speaking.
So she hid the money under the basket, but he wouldn't even take the eggs.
What He Ruixue saw was the scene of the two people pushing each other.
After understanding the whole situation, she helped persuade him, "It's just eggs, Comrade Chen, just accept it, otherwise I won't be able to rest easy."
Zhao Jiajia quickly responded, "That's right, I was thinking of writing a thank-you letter to their company and asking their leaders to praise me, but he refused to agree.
If he can leave a good impression on his superiors, he might even get a raise. This guy is really too stubborn."
There was a hint of imperceptible intimacy in Zhao Jiajia's tone. She was thinking about him wholeheartedly, and it was not just gratitude to the person who saved her mother.
Chen Wanli's face had long since turned redder than the persimmons hanging on the tree. He spoke faster, stuttering a bit. "I know you're doing this for my own good. I really appreciate it. I'm not one to show off, and it's not a big deal. There was no one on the street at the time. Otherwise, everyone would have offered their help."
"I asked my mother, she was conscious when she was lying on the ground. She saw several people passing by but didn't think of helping her. You are the real good person."
He Ruixue understood Chen Wanli's concerns. He had just lost face and wanted to keep a low profile.
He was afraid that his past would be exposed to the public and people would dig up and talk about him.
"Jia Jia, he's not happy about it, so forget about the thank-you letter. Don't even think about bringing gifts to thank him. If you have anything to say, just talk to him privately."
Zhao Jiajia rolled her eyes and thought of something, and there was a bit more sympathy in her eyes when she looked at him.
"Comrade Chen, please come to my house for dinner in a few days. My mother has always wanted to thank you in person, and she won't be at peace unless you come."
Chen Wanli's words of refusal stopped at his lips, and he finally nodded in agreement hesitantly.
…
After returning home, Wang Taozhi took a pen and sat at her desk for the first time, calculating something with her abacus clacking.
He Ruixue came closer and saw the list and expenses she had written down on the paper. They were all things needed for the wedding. She suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, are you preparing Xiaojie's dowry?"
Wang Taozhi was startled, her upper body trembling, then she turned around and glared at her, "You are the only one who would do something strange, not only the dowry, but also the things for the banquet.
Her boyfriend has only two children at home, so he's not very useful. He doesn't know the neighbors well, and there's no room in the tube-shaped building, so he decided to hold the wedding here."
Wen Jie had almost no relatives, and the only people he invited were friends and colleagues.
When they heard that he was coming with a group of doctors, the people in the yard didn't have time to be jealous of He Xiaojie for finding such a good partner, and they all started to make plans.
Some people feel unwell but don’t want to waste money on a check-up, so they wonder if they can see a doctor for free.
Aren’t doctors in big hospitals much better than Lao Liu’s mediocre skills?
Some people are thinking about bringing their own or their relatives' daughters of marriageable age and meeting them at the dinner table.
If someone really takes a fancy to you, you won’t have to worry about the future.
Didn’t they see Wang Taozhi bragging in the yard all day long about how her son-in-law had gone to college and was a cultured person, which made them very angry.
It's a big deal to have gone to college, but when they... Indeed, not to mention their yard, even the surrounding alleys have never produced a college student.
Not to mention his job, you can tell he earns a lot just by looking at his demeanor.
They thought that after what happened to the Xiao family, He Xiaojie was probably in trouble.
Either you can only find someone who is unemployed or someone who is working and is getting married for the second time.
