Zhang Pingping also sighed. She asked in confusion, "Weidong, why do you keep going to the Public Security Bureau to urge them to do something? Don't Zhang Zhanwei's family feel that his death was unfair? Don't they just care about this?"
Zhou Weidong sighed and said slowly: "Zhan Wei's mother died less than a month after giving birth to him. It was his grandmother who raised him with all her heart.
Later, his father married him a stepmother, who was indifferent to him.
His stepmother later gave birth to two more sons and a daughter. These children had no close relationship with Zhan Wei, at most they were just on the surface.
Otherwise, for tasks like pulling coal briquettes, the two brothers would have helped out, and Zhong Guoying wouldn't have thought of asking me for help."
After hearing this, Shi Aihong said angrily: "Even if they are not born from the same mother, they have the same father! Even if the neighbors see the orphans and widows, they will lend a hand!
How can they be so indifferent? It’s really chilling! "
Chu Jingqiu frowned. "Weidong, what does Zhong Guoying do for a living? How did she and Zhang Zhanwei end up together? Was it a free love relationship?"
Zhou Weidong paused and said, "Zhong Guoying is a bus conductor. Her job is very hard, but she is very hardworking and capable.
Zhan Wei met her through someone else's introduction, and it can be said that they fell in love at first sight!
I remember they got married not long after they met, and we were all very happy for him at that time.
After so many years of hardship, Zhan Wei finally found a wife who is both beautiful and capable. It can be said that all the hard work has finally paid off.
The two had been married for seven years and had two sons. They bought a new bicycle and renovated their house. Their life was getting better and better, but unexpectedly, this incident happened.
"It was quite pitiful for him to leave behind an orphan and a widow, so when Zhong Guoying found me, I helped them without hesitation."
Zhang Pingping continued to ask, "Weidong, doesn't Zhong Guoying have any brothers or sisters?"
Zhou Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Of course, I don't know how many brothers and sisters she has.
But I remember Zhan Wei said that his wife was good in every way except that she doted on her two brothers-in-law too much. Whenever there was something good at home, the first thing she thought of was to share some with the two boys.
She even contributed part of the bride price when they got married, and Zhan Wei had a lot of fights with her over this.”
Shi Aihong looked at Zhou Weidong suspiciously, "Weidong, since she has brothers at home, why does she only look for you when she has something to do, instead of looking for her own brother?
This means that she still wants to get close to you. Normal people usually ask their family members for help first when they have any difficulties. If they have no relatives, they may ask some kind neighbors for help.
Besides, aren't there a lot of good friends of yours in that alley? Why didn't she ask them for help? You're very busy in the army,
She actually went out of her way to call you and ask you to come over to help her with work on the weekend, or to borrow money from you. If she's not interested in you, this is totally unacceptable!"
Zhou Weidong frowned slightly when he heard Shi Aihong's question. He explained, "Aihong, you have a point. She explained that those guys were all married, and she was afraid of upsetting their wives!"
Shi Aihong pouted and said, "Isn't she afraid that I'll be upset? If she has nothing to hide and asks for help openly, why would she be afraid of gossip?"
Chu Jingqiu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Weidong, I saw Zhong Guoying came to you to borrow money when she didn't have money to buy a stroller. Does she often ask you for money?"
Zhou Weidong glanced at Shi Aihong and stammered, "I've borrowed... several times. Last year, he borrowed money for his eldest son's tuition. A few days ago, I also paid for the child's hospitalization. Including this time, it means he has borrowed money three times."
Shi Aihong rolled her eyes at him. "How much did she borrow in total? Did she pay it all back?"
"Not... not much? Just seventy or eighty... a hundred yuan!" Zhou Weidong said stutteringly.
Shi Aihong suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "How much did you borrow? Zhou Weidong, can you tell me the truth?"
Zhou Weidong closed his eyes, looking determined to make it happen, and said, "I borrowed over a hundred yuan, plus I occasionally gave them some money, so it's probably around two hundred yuan!"
Shi Aihong said angrily: "You are such a fool. She just treats you as a cash cow and shakes you when she has no money.
Now her appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Not only does she want to borrow money, she also wants to dig you, her cash cow, into her house.
Maybe the money you gave her didn't even go to her children, maybe it all went to her brother from her mother's side!"
Zhang Pingping didn't even think about it and blurted out, "This kind of brother-supporting demon really doesn't deserve sympathy. I think what Aihong said is right.
Zhou Weidong, more than 200 yuan! It's not a small amount. It's an ordinary person's annual salary. Her child is still young and there is no such big expense. Even with her own salary, she can definitely support the three of them.
Nine times out of ten, her money goes to her brother.”
Shi Aihong nodded in agreement, "Sister Pingping, what do you mean by 'brother-supporting demon'? I think those two brothers are just two vampires!"
He who has both hands and feet doesn't help his own sister, and yet he has the nerve to ask for money from orphans and widows."
After saying that, he kicked Zhou Weidong and said, "Weidong, I will go get the money back from her someday. If you want to repay her, why don't we just buy her children some clothes or some food and help them directly?
Next time she calls you, ask me to come with you. I want to see if she still has the nerve to ask you for help alone."
Everyone here was talking about Zhong Guoying, and Zhong Guoying returned home carrying the stroller with an unhappy look on his face.
As soon as she got home, she heard her youngest son Xiaobo crying and calling for his mother at home.
She hurried into the house and saw her three children from her mother's family pinning Xiaobo down and beating him. Her brother was lying on a rattan chair in the yard, not only ignoring them, but also looking at the three children with a smile.
The oldest girl was holding a piece of cake and stuffing it into her mouth. While she was eating, she kept stuffing it into the mouths of the other two little boys.
She kept shouting, "You beat him up and didn't even give him a piece of cake. How stingy...!"
Seeing Zhong Guoying coming back, the children stopped playing and the little girl said with a smile, "Auntie is back! We...we were playing the game of catching bad guys with Xiaobo!"
Then, he pulled Xiaobo up and said gently, "Xiaobo, tell your mother, are we playing a game? Isn't the game of catching bad guys fun?"
Xiaobo wiped his tears with his sleeve and said timidly, "Mom, Sister Xiaofang is lying! Lying is not a good thing. They stole my cake and I didn't give it to them, so they beat me...!"
Mom, I don’t want to play with them anymore. Please kick them out! Don’t let them come to our house anymore.”
