Back at home, Qin Xiaochuan sat on the sofa, thinking about how to talk to his mother Wu Qingyan about his sister-in-law Lin Yan.

Wu Qingyan saw Qin Xiaochuan's preoccupied look, walked up to him and sat down, and asked with a smile, "Xiaochuan, do you have something on your mind?"

Qin Xiaochuan pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Mom, it looks like the New Year is coming, where are we celebrating the New Year this year?"

Hearing this, Wu Sixiao sat down next to her mother Wu Qingyan, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "Of course the three of us have lived together!

Wu Qingyan touched Wu Sixiao's head affectionately, and said with a smile: "Xiaochuan, where did you say you live? Mom listens to you." ”

Qin Xiaochuan hesitated and said, "Mom, I also have a sister-in-law and nephew in Nanxi Village, why don't we go there for the New Year." ”

Wu Sixiao protested: "My mother and I don't know them, so I don't want to go." ”

Wu Qingyan groaned: "Xiaochuan, have you told your sister-in-law about your life experience?"

Qin Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "Now that my sister-in-law is the only one left in the family to live with her nephew, I am afraid that she will not be able to accept this fact for a while, so I have not dared to tell her." ”

"Then we go to Nanxi Village for the New Year, it seems very abrupt. Wu Qingyan shook her head and sighed: "Paper can't contain fire after all, she will always know it in the future, what does it matter if she knows it early or late." ”

Qin Xiaochuan nodded and said, "I'll go back in the next few days, tell her things clearly, see what she says, and then decide where to spend the New Year." ”

Wu Qingyan nodded and said, "That's all." However, before that, you have to accompany your mother to Wu's house to re-identify the door. ”

The so-called "re-recognition" was proposed by Wu Yihong, the old man of the Wu family, to re-admit Wu Qingyan's mother and son. This is Wu Yihong's feeling sorry for his daughter after letting go of the mustard in his heart, and the trick he came up with can be regarded as a kind of compensation for his daughter.

When Wu Sixiao heard this, she was not happy, puffed out her cheeks, and said angrily: "Mom, why do you want to recognize the door again? Aren't the three of us doing well now?"

Qin Xiaochuan scolded with a calm face: "Xiaoxiao, don't say that." Grandpa's previous approach was a bit excessive, ignoring the relationship between father and daughter, but after all, my mother and the Wu family are connected by blood, and the bones are broken and the tendons are connected. ”

Wu Sixiao pursed her lips, lowered her head and stopped talking.

"Xiaochuan, don't blame Xiaoxiao, she is still young and ignorant. She suffered a lot with her mother when she was a child, and she inevitably had some complaints. Wu Qingyan touched her daughter's head kindly, smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, mom has put it down, what else can't you let go?"

Wu Sixiao leaned on Wu Qingyan's arms, with tears in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Mom, I listen to you." ”

"This is my mother's good daughter. Wu Qingyan patted Wu Sixiao's shoulder with great relief, turned her head to look at Qin Xiaochuan and said, "Xiaochuan, what kind of gift did you say to prepare for your grandfather and grandmother?"

Qin Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry about it, I'll get ready." ”

Beijing, the basement of a dilapidated building.

There was a lone lamp in the room, it was dark and damp, the cheap Niulanshan wine bottle was thrown to the ground, a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol permeated the room, and the smell of sweat of socks, all kinds of gases mixed together, making people almost want to vomit.

Zhao Baoyu, dressed in a military cotton suit, was eating instant noodles, drinking wine and occasionally taking a puff of cigarette.

Suddenly, there was a dull knock on the door.

Zhao Baoyu instinctively picked up a steel rod next to him and tiptoed to the back of the door.

"Who?" Zhao Baoyu asked in a deep voice.

"Dadian Village. A man outside the door responded.

Zhao Baoyu heard the code, so he opened the door, and two men in cashmere coats walked in.

"Did you bring the money?" Zhao Baoyu hurriedly asked.

The two of them didn't speak, but closed the door directly.

Zhao Baoyu's heart tightened, and he held the cold steel rod, which gave him an extra layer of security, and asked again: "Where is my other half of money?"

With this money, he can go home for a good year.

A middle-aged man looked at Zhao Baoyu with a sneer and said, "Everything has been messed up by you, are you embarrassed to withdraw money?"

Zhao Baoyu said angrily: "Zhao Gangjun, you don't want to rely on my account, right? But you said at the beginning, as long as I splash the sulfuric acid in front of Xia Chenxi, it will be considered a success." Let me tell you, we are from a village, and the monks can't run the temple if they can run. If you dare to rely on my account, I will ask your family for it when I go back. ”

"Yo, good Zhao Baoyu, you are so capable, dare to talk to me like this?" Zhao Gangjun raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Baoyu and said. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at his companions.

"Zhao Gangjun, are you really planning not to give me money? If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. ”

Zhao Baoyu sneered and took a few steps back, beware of the sudden attack of these two guys, and the steel rod in his hand was ready to fight back at any time.

"Mom, Zhao Baoyu, you're still energetic, aren't you? Do you know who we're doing things for? Zhao Gangjun scolded angrily.

"Cut, love whoever you love, I can't care so much. I only know that I have to collect money for doing things for others, and I will leave after taking the money. If you don't want to give me money, you can't do it. Anyway, I'm just a bad life, and no one is afraid!" Zhao Baoyu deliberately shook the steel rod in his hand as he spoke.

"You!" Zhao Gangjun was so angry that he couldn't speak, paused, took out a thick stack of banknotes from his coat pocket, and said, "This is 20,000." You didn't ruin Xia Chenxirong, and deducted half of the money. ”

Zhao Gangjun took the money and said angrily: "No." Say 40,000. How can it be that there is half of it for no reason? Zhao Gangjun, it can't be that you have embezzled it, right? No, I want to see your boss. ”

The corners of Zhao Gangjun's mouth pulled out a sneer, and said, "You are also worthy of seeing my boss?" It's 20,000 yuan, if you want it, you can accept it." Don't pull it down. Damn, it didn't work out, and I made 60,000 yuan for nothing, where can I find such a cheap thing? It's good that I didn't let you spit out the 40,000 yuan deposit I paid earlier. ”

"No, I can't. Forty thousand is forty thousand. Penny ...... Ah...... "When Zhao Baoyu and Zhao Gangjun were theorizing. His head hurt suddenly, and then he fell to the ground with a thud.

Another man put away the pistol that was still smoking in his hand, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Brother Gang, what should this kid do?"

"The boss said that the police could not find him. Find a burlap bag, put him in the car and throw him in the car, and dig a pit deep in the mountains to bury him. ”

"Good. ”

The two of them were busy for a while, so they put Zhao Baolai's body into a hemp cloth bag, and then swaggered out and threw it into the back compartment of the car.

The two men got into the car, and after the sound of the motor, the car started and quickly disappeared into the dark night.
