Chapter 77: Happy and Forgetful
In the county town, Director Ma came to the house again and found that the information and several boxes of treasures were gone.
Cold sweat immediately spread all over my body.
Who on earth was so bold as to steal his things?
He quickly calmed down and checked everywhere.
What puzzled him was that only the items in this reception room were stolen.
The lock of the door didn't look like anyone had touched it, and everything in the other rooms was still there.
How did the thief get in? Is it a ghost?
Over the years, he and a few reliable subordinates have stolen a lot of good things, and the origins of these things cannot be avoided.
Most of the valuable treasures are hidden in this house, while the other rooms are filled with gold, silver, treasures, antiques and jade.
In the living room were several boxes of treasures that could be easily moved, and those materials that could not be seen in public were thrown away.
He had a lot of wealth and didn't even take these boxes of treasures seriously.
If those materials were obtained by someone with ulterior motives, he and his backers would be in trouble.
I looked everywhere, but had no clue.
After thinking about it, he quickly found an acquaintance with whom he had a good relationship and brought a police dog to investigate.
The police dog barked at a wall for a long time and saw traces left on the wall.
Director Ma muttered to himself: If it was a spy, since he had the key to the house door, how come he didn’t have the key to the front door?
Did I guess wrong?
A group of people brought a police dog to the outside of the yard and searched for a long time. They found traces of the thief in a corner not far away.
Next, the police dog wandered around the area, its eyes full of confusion.
An acquaintance said to him, "Director Ma, this is where the thief stayed. He was very cunning. I don't know how he disappeared out of thin air. There is no trace of him around."
How could a thief disappear out of thin air?
Even acquaintances found it unbelievable after hearing this.
Director Ma racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.
Over the next few days, he felt uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen.
What puzzled him was that there was no sign of trouble.
As if the information and boxes of treasures were not lost.
A few days passed and everything was calm.
He gradually put the matter behind him, and spent a little money after work to use small favors to seduce the silly little cabbage - Wen Hehua.
Old Mrs. Wen was worried about her daughter, so she lived with Wen Hehua, doing the laundry, cooking, and buying groceries like a nanny.
She has been enjoying the service of her daughter-in-law at home for many years, and now she is taking care of her daughter without complaint.
Thanks to Director Ma's help with their daughter's matter, the mother and daughter discussed it and decided to treat him to a meal to express their gratitude.
Old Mrs. Wen bought groceries, cleaned the house and cooked. She was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. She made a large table of delicious food.
In the evening, Director Ma came and brought a lot of gifts.
The driver helped to carry it in and filled the kang.
When Mrs. Wen saw so many gifts, she was immediately delighted.
"Director Ma, I'm sorry to have troubled you with Lotus's matter. My mother and I have always wanted to express our gratitude... This... is a waste of money for you. I'm sorry."
Director Ma said politely, "Old man, He Hua is very capable and has helped me a lot. I have wanted to come and see you for a long time, and these things are my gift to you."
Old Mrs. Wen was so happy that her eyes narrowed. She gave a thumbs up and praised, "Director Ma is very particular about his work!"
Director Ma felt disgusted when he saw the wrinkled face of Old Mrs. Wen.
When he saw Wen Hehua's porcelain-white smiling face beside him, that bit of unhappiness was quickly thrown away.
The old man really deserves credit for raising his daughter to be so fair and clean these days.
Speaking of which, Wen Hehua's facial features are okay, not pretty, but her plump whiteness satisfies Director Ma.
Since the old lady respected him, he had no scruples and greeted Wen Hehua without restraint.
When Old Mrs. Wen heard these compliments, she quickly observed Director Ma's expression and discovered that there was something wrong with the way he looked at her daughter.
I suddenly felt very anxious.
After the people left, she pulled her daughter into the house and asked anxiously, "Hehua, what did Director Ma do to you?"
Wen Hehua said shyly: "Mom, he said that his marriage with his wife was arranged and he wanted to divorce and marry me."
Old Mrs. Wen's resentment soon disappeared.
The old man said with a happy face: "Although he is a little old, he has status and money. It won't be a problem if we can marry him in a formal way."
Wen Hehua asked in great surprise: "Mom, do you agree?"
Old Mrs. Wen frowned and said, "As long as you like it, what can I say? Oh, you should be more reserved and don't let him look down on you. Wait until he gets divorced before you get together with him, so that you won't be criticized by others."
Wen Hehua said in a coquettish tone: "Mom, I know!"
She thought to herself that when she got married, she must do it in a glamorous manner so that the people in the village could see how she had become a city dweller and the wife of an official.
Let that damn girl Wen Kexin see that the man she married is a hundred times better than Song Mo!
Ever since Wen Hehua knew her mother's attitude, she no longer had any scruples and often flirted with Director Ma.
Director Ma was complacent. This girl was tender and delicate, but she was brainless. Such a silly rural girl was easy to plot against.
Over the years, Director Ma has had many women around him, and he would replace them with new ones when he got tired of them.
Wen Hehua is his new prey.
Otherwise, why would he be so kind to help the other party? Although he received a considerable amount of benefits, he wanted to get more benefits.
Every time, he would tell his prey that the marriage was arranged and that he would be divorced soon.
He enjoys the cat-and-mouse game; he enjoys the loving gaze of a woman.
His wife gave birth to two sons for him, but she was cowardly and didn't dare to interfere in what he did outside.
Director Ma has his own plan in mind. He will not divorce his wife because he values his two sons.
As for those flowery words, they are just to fool fools.
Wen Hehua had no idea about these things and thought she was lucky to have met a loving and friendly man.
She likes her life now.
In order to please her, Director Ma often gave her various gifts, including clothing, shoes, hats, rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, eggs, gold and silver jewelry, etc.
In order to get promoted and make money, his subordinates tried to please Director Ma and gave gifts to Wen Hehua from time to time.
Not only hers, but also Old Lady Wen’s.
From childhood to adulthood, although her parents spoiled her, she had never seen so many good things.
Not only was Wen Hehua happy, but even Old Mrs. Wen was in a good mood.
Director Ma is willing to spend money on them, and those flatterers are respectful and fawning on them, which shows that they are valued. It is hard to find such a son-in-law even with a lantern.
Old Mrs. Wen and her daughter were happily living in the county town.
Besides, Wen Kexin wanted to go back to the Song family that evening.
Thinking about how good my mother-in-law and second aunt were to me, I found an opportunity to take out two kilograms of meat from the space.
Seeing Feng Shulan cooking dinner, she handed over the pork and said, "Mom, I went to town today and bought a few pounds of meat. My mother asked me to bring two pounds to you."
"Second brother, you are still thinking about us while living at your mother's house."
During the meal, Wen Kexin saw that all the family members were present, so she took out fifty yuan from her pocket and handed it to her mother-in-law.
"Mom, after I got married, Song Mo saw that my family was in financial difficulty and was afraid that I didn't have much dowry, so he gave me fifty yuan. A few days ago, I was busy collecting herbs to collect money, and finally I collected enough money. In front of everyone, I returned the money to the Song family to avoid any estrangement in my family. After all, I want to live in the Song family for the rest of my life, so I don't want to hurt feelings for money."
These words stunned everyone.
