Chapter 248 Love and Not Love
The moonlight is like water, casting a veil over the hazy night.
The world is darkest, and the stars in the sky look like the boundless Milky Way.
The breeze gently blew up the branches and leaves of the paulownia tree, and blew them down like raindrops.
Time stood still.
The man regretted asking this question the moment he asked it.
Because no matter what her answer was, he wouldn't let go.
Isn’t it?
ridiculous……
People are always greedy.
Before, he just wanted to live a simple life with her.
I am greedy for her tender words and indulge in the warmth she gives me.
later.
He found himself falling in love with her and wanted to cherish her, love her, and keep her close to his heart.
I want it to last forever.
Now, he was suddenly dissatisfied again.
He wanted her to accept herself for who she really was.
As dark, mean, despicable, selfish and cunning as he is, he is sinking in the abyss of corruption.
Occasionally I get a delicate flower that is blown down.
He tightly bound up her brightness and beauty, unwilling to show it to others easily.
Just when he thought he wouldn't get her answer.
Lin Yiyi's soft voice sounded in his ear.
"I don't know how long it will be, and I don't want to make empty promises. I only know that if your heart towards me remains unchanged, I will remain the same."
The words had just fallen, but the tail sound had not yet dissipated.
The man hugged the woman beside him as if he was drowning and suffocating, holding on tightly and refusing to let go.
She didn't know why Zhao Sheng suddenly said this.
But she knew that he was extremely insecure at this moment.
Lin Yiyi hugged him back, their chests pressed against each other, and when his body was no longer so stiff, she gently kissed his eyebrows and thin lips over and over again until he completely relaxed.
"Go to sleep, tomorrow is a new day."
This sentence seemed to be infused with magic and was surprisingly effective.
It was early the next morning.
The calm and self-possessed man is back.
Zhao Sheng picked up Lin Yiyi who was sleeping and said a bunch of things that she didn't understand.
Then he put the person back into bed and went out to work.
When Lin Yiyi woke up, she wondered if she was hallucinating. Why would Zhao Sheng say that he would give her the salary to manage?
It must have been a dream she had before she woke up.
However, at noon.
When the man came back, this really came true.
Zhao Sheng put the few dollars of salary left for this month on the table, along with some colorful bills.
He told Lin Yiyi in detail all the expenses from the beginning of the month to the end of the month.
Without any notes, I just dictated the expenses for three meals a day.
I even remember buying her a ten-cent popsicle.
I get angry when I talk about popsicles, so I buy some at home and melt them into water before letting her drink them.
When reading about the monthly expenses, Lin Yiyi decisively stopped him and said, "You should take care of it. I think it's a good idea."
How can this be considered household expenses?
This is absolutely solid evidence that she squandered other people's wages.
All he read was something like what he bought for Mr. Lin on a certain day of a certain month.
Zhao Sheng was puzzled and said in a deep voice: "Don't you always want to make your own decisions? From now on, I will give you my monthly salary, and you will be responsible for managing the household expenses."
Lin Yiyi shook her head like a wave, "No, you should do it. I don't want to keep accounts every day, it's too tedious. I'd rather read more books to cultivate my sentiments."
Her housekeeper just wanted to save some private money, but after such a detailed calculation, how could there be anything left?
The man confirmed again, "Really?"
Lin Yiyi looked at the man with affirmative eyes and said softly, "Yes, I am serious. You are smart and have a good memory, but I tend to be careless and unreliable. You are the most suitable person for this family."
Zhao Sheng thought for a moment, pinched her smiling face, and said softly: "Okay, everything will remain the same.
I have to go on a long trip this afternoon to run some freight and will be back in about a week."
Lin Yiyi was not willing to be outdone, and poked the man's waist in response, humming softly, "Okay, I get it, always think about your bracelet."
The bracelet has a super mini peace charm the size of a melon seed.
Zhao Sheng understood what she meant and arranged things. He then carried Lin Yiyi back to the inner room and spent some time with her. When he saw that it was almost time, he left some money for her.
I drove to the provincial capital to transport the goods.
Zhaojiatun.
Compared to Lin Yiyi's leisurely life in the city.
Zhao Liren lives a primitive life, working from sunrise to sunset.
Because it was the autumn harvest season, all the men in the village were treated like animals and the women were treated like men.
Ever since she fainted, Zhao Liren has been completely in physical fitness mode. She can't do too much work, so she just does it bit by bit.
She participated in picking corn, harvesting soybeans, planting winter wheat, and digging potatoes and sweet potatoes.
None of them suited her and she almost sprained her ankle.
So he started to collect grass for pigs with a group of kids, carrying a full backpack in the morning and evening, and earning two work points.
It’s not even enough for a whole grain meal.
But it’s better to have it than not to have it.
Zhao Liren wanted to eat fish, so she took a candy and borrowed a fishing rod from Donkey Egg. When she arrived at the river, she saw the river during the dry season.
Tried fishing, no fish took the bait.
I spent the whole afternoon catching two finger-sized fish, which were completely inedible and required too much oil to fry.
Finally, he returned to Lao Zhao's house with nothing.
…
provincial capital.
Zhao Sheng drove through several counties and finally arrived at the provincial capital the next day.
At noon, after quickly eating noodles, I went to the textile factory to discuss something with Director Yu.
Ask him to help get ten kilograms of cotton.
But this is just an introduction.
Director Yu thought about the watch ticket from last time and agreed readily, then started chatting.
"Qian Youwei from the textile factory is missing now. No one knows where he has gone. Many people are looking for him."
Zhao Sheng looked shocked as if he had heard this for the first time.
Director Yu felt that this person was extremely stupid, and said with disdain, "Look at this person, he has nothing better to do than to do this kind of thing, digging into the country's foundation.
He has a military father, how low is his ideological awareness? "
Zhao Sheng thought about it seriously and gave an answer, "If he didn't take after his father, then he should take after his mother."
Director Yu laughed out loud, but he also felt that what he said made sense.
The purpose of coming here has been achieved.
Zhao Sheng didn't stay any longer and went straight back to the Steel Plant. However, he did not return to the temporary dormitory. Instead, he went to the transportation team and kept an eye on the actions of Director Ding Liping.
Qian Youwei got the news and fled early, becoming a wanted suspect. He would definitely go home to ask his resigned father for help, but now he is being targeted and cannot go home.
He could only seek help from friends who held higher positions than him and with whom he had a secret relationship.
Ding Liping is the best choice.
On the evening of October 24, Ding Liping went out.
He received a call from Qian Youwei in the office during the day. Many things were not convenient to discuss on the phone, so they agreed to meet at the cinema in the evening.
Qian Youwei, a middle-aged man with a big belly, said anxiously, "Brother Ding, you have to help me. I'm really unlucky this time."
Ding Liping was relatively calm: "If you have something to say, please speak slowly. If you can help me, I will definitely not stand idly by. What happened to you?"
Qian Youwei concisely used words and explained the whole story in just a few words.
This time he was digging up an abandoned gold mine. Washing the gold was secondary. The most important thing was that he accidentally obtained an ancient book, Linglong County Chronicles.
According to the above records, there was a gold mine located between certain mountains, which once produced 160,000 taels of gold. However, due to the war, only a part of it was taken away, and the rest disappeared.
Combining the county annals and real-life gossip, this story is very likely true. Faced with a mountain of gold, people became greedy.
"This matter can be big or small. I have to think of a solution. You hide for a few days. I will contact you when I have thought it through."
Qian Youwei didn't get his confirmation, and felt uneasy, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."
We can only take one step at a time.
The two of them left without even watching the movie.
Qian Youwei was very cautious, like a frightened bird. For safety reasons, he would change his residence every other day.
But today he was not so lucky. He was hit by a club from behind and fainted immediately.
When he woke up again, he was in an unfamiliar place. His hands and feet were tied with hemp ropes, his mouth was gagged, and the hood on his head made him unable to see anything.
The pain in the back of his neck made him realize his situation and he was extremely frightened.
Who is it and what is he going to do?
