Chapter 738: The Truth
Lift the mattress vigorously, and then lift the bed board, there are several shoeboxes underneath, Duan Bo said: "In the white shoebox at the bottom!" I turned out the shoebox, there were two sneakers inside, and reached out from the shoe cavity to find a small plastic bag, which contained the three small glass bottles and a fairly thick steel needle. Under Duan Bo's guidance, I first used the thick steel needle to poke a hole in the pill, then stirred the hole wider, then opened the blue rubber stopper on the glass bottle mouth, picked out some detoxification powder with the tip of the steel needle, and carefully sent it into the small hole.
"It's okay!" Duan Bo said in a low voice. I plugged the glass bottle and put it back in place, and handed the pill to Duan Bo, who carefully sealed the hole in the pill with his hand, and then I restored the bed board and mattress. Duan Bo gasped so hard that his hands were shaking, and he wrapped the pill in a piece of square paper and put it in a drawer. I hurriedly helped him to lie on the bed. Although Duan Bo looked panting hard, his expression was very relaxed, and he was not as nervous as before.
I said, "I'll go first." Duan Bo nodded hard, and I was just about to turn around, when I suddenly saw Duan Bo as if he had bumped into a ghost, his eyes were round, staring straight behind me, his lips were trembling, and his expression was quite terrifying. I immediately looked back and immediately screamed "ah" in fright. I don't know when, there was a young woman standing behind me, dressed in pajamas.
Duan Bo trembled and said, "You, how are you...... When...... You ......" began incoherently.
The young woman didn't speak, but walked to the drawer and opened it, took out the small pill wrapped in paper from it, looked at Duan Bo and me, and then broke it with force. Her eyes immediately widened and rounded, and it was obvious that she saw the stuffing inside. The young woman slowly walked up to Duan Bo with an expression of disbelief on her face.
Duan Bo was trembling all over, as if he was suffering from malaria, his lips opened a few times, but he couldn't say anything. The young woman said, "Dad, is it really you?" I stood by and looked at them like a fool, thinking to myself that this woman was actually Duan Bo's daughter, but why did she suddenly appear in the house? Even if I patronized the matter of getting pills, no one would have entered the house without noticing, and the bedroom door had been closed before.
"This ...... I, I ......" Duan Bo can no longer express normally. Seeing his embarrassment, I can't speak for him, because I'm the most enlightened, what the hell is going on?
The young woman's hands were shaking with anger, and she said, "Dad, I never dreamed that the sore on my leg was actually caused by you in secret, why did you do this, you, are you crazy?" she screamed and threw the pill on the ground. Duan Bo tried to turn over and try to sit up, but he didn't hold on to the bedside table, and accidentally fell to the ground, and the pill was just in front of him. Duan Bo stretched out his hand to pick up the pill, held it up in front of his eyes and looked at it, tears flowing from his eyes.
"Tell me, what the hell are you doing?" the young woman almost growled and pointed at me again, "And you, who are you, why did you collude with my dad to fix me? If you don't say anything, I'll call the police!"
Duan Bo hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with him, he is a friend of our boss, selling Buddhist cards in Thailand, I hope I can get a salary increase this year, so I bought a Buddhist card from him that can attract wealth." I don't have any friends about this pill, so I have to trouble him to come over and help......"
Hearing Uncle Duan say this, I was worried that I had no excuse, so I immediately climbed up the pole and said to the young woman: "It's none of my business, Uncle Duan said let me run errands to buy a box of digestive pills and send it to you, and then get some powder in it and give me 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, I don't know anything else!"
The young woman was very angry, and asked again, "What the hell is going on with this pill, what is the powder in it?" Duan Bo didn't hide it, so he told the matter.
After Duan Bo's narration, I learned that this young woman was an abandoned baby that Duan Bo picked up on the side of the road many years ago. At that time, he was thirty-eight years old, his parents died early, and he never started a family because he was relatively poor. I liked this baby girl very much, and I felt that it was fate, so I was reluctant to send it to an orphanage, so I applied to the government for adoption. Hong Kong law is stricter on adoption than in the mainland, and it stands to reason that a single man like Duan Bo who has little money is not qualified, but it just so happened that the Hong Kong stock market plummeted at the end of that year, and many people lost all their money in a few nights, and many jumped off the building. Many people failed to speculate in stocks and felt that they couldn't afford it, so they quietly discarded the extra babies, and the Civil Affairs Bureau received a lot of abandoned babies, so the policy was relaxed and Duan Bo was successfully adopted.
Because the baby was too young, Duan Bo had to ask his neighbors to help take care of him during the day, give him some hardship money, and take him home at night to raise it himself. The young woman was very smart when she was a child, and under the hard upbringing of Duan Bo, she became a top student at the University of Hong Kong, and directly entered the branch of a British bank in Hong Kong after graduation. I met my colleague Paul, a British man in the company, and the two fell in love for more than half a year, and began to talk about marriage, and Paul asked the young woman to go back to the UK with him to live. The young woman was very happy, but Duan Bo objected, feeling that he had given almost all his life to raise his daughter, and it was too unreasonable for this daughter to settle abroad when he was old.
Duan Bo spoke in detail, but at the end, I changed the person who sold him insect powder to another person, saying that he saw an advertisement in the newspaper that someone specialized in selling insect powder refined by Miao women in Yunnan, which can forever tie people to his side, and can also deliver goods.
"What Yunnan Miao insect powder?" the young woman obviously didn't understand. Duan Bo said the function of insect powder, and the young woman was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and I also pretended to be surprised next to me, pointing at Duan Bo and saying that this is the case, aren't you cheating me, how can you let me do this kind of thing, even your own daughter will be harmed.
The young woman said loudly, "I'm not his own daughter!" I was stunned, the young woman pointed at Duan Bo, and said angrily: "Not only am I not your own daughter, from now on, I am not even an adopted daughter!" turned around and was about to walk out of the bedroom. Duan Bo hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, but as soon as he stood up, he fell down again, I subconsciously went over to help, Duan Bo groaned in pain, the young woman looked back, it seemed that she couldn't bear it, and came back: "Why the hell?
Duan Bo cried with tears on his face: "Ah Wen, I, I can't help it...... If you have to go to England to get married, it will be rare to go back to Hong Kong once in the next few years, I am already sixty-two years old, and I will be helpless for the rest of my life, how can I live?"
"Of course you want to get married," Duan Bo said, "but why do you have to find a foreign boyfriend and settle abroad?
The young woman said, "What is this, what is this! Love is about fate, and before I met Paul, how did I know that I would fall in love with an English man? If I were married to a Hong Kong man, of course I would visit you often, but in such a far away place in England, it is impossible to come back every year!"
