Chapter 139: The Third Visit
"Make me a cup of Tieguanyin, I'm thirsty. Chang Jinzhu's tone was like a child begging for his mother. The flattered Jin Xing had not yet sat down on the sofa, so she hurriedly stood up again, grabbing tea leaves and pouring boiling water more quickly than usual. "It's too hot, let's put it on the coffee table for a while. Her father-in-law nodded and smiled.
"Jin Xing, to be honest, you have worked very hard all these years, taking care of the children and cleaning up the housework, and you have to take care of me and your mother, the two old things, everything is very good, and I have been busy all day long, and I have never heard you shout tired......" "Dad, don't say that, I should do it." Besides, I'm just helping my sister-in-law, I'm not tired, I'm not tired. "No, you're not the same as your sister-in-law. Chang Jinzhu became serious again, "I know that there has always been some unhappiness between Feipeng and you, and he doesn't know how to hurt you." But that's it, you're still—what the word says -- oh, hard work, and dedication to being a daughter-in-law. I've seen it all. Jin Xing, you are a good daughter-in-law, since you entered our door, you have been like our family. Fei Peng doesn't know that he's too stupid to hurt you, and I really can't bear you to go. "Dad, I ......" "You are a good daughter-in-law that our family is marrying, why do you say such a thing as 'unworthy'? Is it because you and the soldiers were tied up that night?"
Jin Xing blushed and didn't speak, Chang Jinzhu acquiesced to him. "That's Chang Zhimin's sin, according to what the police said, you are a victim, don't blame yourself for this, don't pay attention to other people's gossip. Chang Jinzhu paid attention to the change in his daughter-in-law's expression, "You were innocent, if you left for this matter, it would be easy to teach people to think that you really have something disgusting, and we drove you out." In this way, don't talk about our family's reputation, even if it is not good for your reputation. ”
The word "reputation" touched Jin Xing's sensitive nerves, and she thought that what her father-in-law said was just polite words, so far she listened seriously. "I think how happy your parents and your grandparents were when you were going to get married, they looked forward to a stable and decent home for your daughter. Now that you're gone, not only will you get more gossip, they'll also feel sad and undignified. ”
Seeing Jin Xing biting his lip vigorously, Chang Jinzhu showed the most lethal words: "The most important thing is, you are gone, what should the soldiers do? Do you bear to leave him, or do you have the patience to take him away from our old couple?" "Dad, I'm not...... I don't ......" "Jin Xing, my father knows that you have endured a lot of things over the years, and this time I will wronged you to endure it again, for you, for the soldiers, for everyone." I promise, our family will be reunited with Hemeimeituan, and the gossip outside will disappear after a while, and we will continue to live our good life!"
"Daddy......" After making tea, Jin Xing didn't sit down, she approached her father-in-law, pointed to the trolley box and said, "What if...... If Feipeng, Niang, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't mind, I'll ...... I'll just put this thing upstairs......" "That's right!
Chang Jinzhu smiled and wanted to add two more sentences, but when he turned his head, he saw Chang Feipeng coming back in a hurry outside the window. Seeing that he was about to open the door and enter the house, Chang Jinzhu jumped like a cat and pounced in front of the sofa at once. Before Jin Xing could understand what was going on, he pushed down her trolley suitcase, stretched out his feet and arched it several times, finally pushing the box to a position behind the sofa that was invisible from the door of the house.
"Dad!uh......" Pushing open the door of the house, Chang Feipeng was slightly surprised to see his wife and father standing face to face. "Alas, when I got up and was thirsty, I taught Jin Xing to make me a cup of tea. Chang Jinzhu took a sip of the cup of Tieguanyin and walked over to his second son, "What are you going to call, you have to run out to call for so long?" "Dad, it's us...... It's my friend in the business field......" Chang Feipeng glanced at Jin Xing, and he was hesitant. His father knew that the so-called "friend in the business field" was Shiheng's boss, and seeing his solemn face, the situation must be tricky.
Chang Jinzhu wanted to step outside the door: "Let's go, go outside and say, I have to breathe after holding it in the house for a long time." Chang Feipeng blocked the door and waved his hand: "Dad, this ...... Let's talk to the house. "What are you afraid of, right in front of our house, whose ears can stick out? I just told Jin Xing to clean up the house. ”
Chang Jinzhu walked to the parking place, and while admiring the Audi, he asked his son behind him in a heavy tone: "What's wrong?" "Dad, Shiheng called us over there to urge us, saying that if we don't get the land down, their villa will be delayed." "Haven't the good days yet come? What's the hurry? These real estate developers have made a mistake. "They...... They still ......" "What else are you talking about?" "They asked if the news of our cooperation with them was tightly sealed, could we leak some rumors, and it reached the ears of Lao Jiu and the people of the village committee, and they used it against us, so they haven't taken the land yet." "!" Chang Jinzhu was furious, and then controlled his volume, "Lao Jiu is still the secretary of the village party committee! Why do you have to spend some time to get the land from him, step by step, how can you get it all done so quickly? He didn't see that the village committee of our village is stinky on the Internet? Didn't you tell them that Lao Jiu's unsuccessful exchange meeting was originally not attended by many people? The United States has still spent a time fighting Iraq, and they are in a hurry. "They...... In the end, they said that if we couldn't get the land, they would consider building villas elsewhere. Chang Feipeng's voice trembled a little when he said this, and Chang Jinzhu knew that his son was scared. "Okay, let them build it elsewhere and see if they can find a good deal of land like ours. They don't build it, but there are people who give money to it. His gaze turned to his son: "What did you tell them?" I was so angry that I wanted to scold them, but then I thought that I might have to do business with them, so I held back and dealt with them casually. "Hmm. But why would they suddenly give us this one?" Chang Jinzhu pondered, "certainly not for nothing. Don't...... What are you doing secretly over there?"
In the current situation, this conjecture seems to be nonsense, but he makes Chang Jinzhu feel a faint sense of fear. He warned himself in his heart: "It seems that you have to speed up, but it's just for Lao Jiu." ”
He said to his son again, "Okay, when your eldest brother comes back, let's discuss it again." Chang Feipeng looked down the hillside and asked, "Brother, I should have come back from the village committee a long time ago, right?" "I'll let him do the work at an acquaintance's house again," Chang Jinzhu showed a cunning look, "persuade them to contract at least one or two acres -- Lao Jiu doesn't care what it's called—oh, the area of responsibility." ”
The hour hand pointed to the "6" on the dial, and "Lao Jiu" was still dizzy and his heart was like a knife. As soon as he goes to work tomorrow, he will announce to the whole village on the radio that Li Jinming has been dismissed from his post and is awaiting punishment for ignoring organizational discipline and norms of conduct and bribing reporters on his own initiative. In a trance, he wandered outside his house, and when he took out the key, he heard someone talking in the house.
"Zhimin, don't keep thinking like that. You see, this time you were framed in and out of the police station, didn't your father accompany you and cover you?" is a man's voice, "It is too familiar to "Lao Jiu".
After opening the door, he was greeted by the excited face of his wife. "Look, who's coming?" Following the direction of his wife's finger, he saw the person sitting at the dinner table talking to his son - "Xiao Xiucai" Yugong. Seeing him come in, Yugong and Zhimin stood up in unison. "Lao Jiu, are you done?" Yu Gong's demeanor and words revealed a sense of concern. "Today is over, tomorrow is a whole lot more. "Lao Jiu" was listless, "Why did you think of coming home today? What kind of feature film and documentary are you here again?" "I haven't left you all yet." "Lao Jiu" vaguely stated that he kept the promise made on the day of the soldier's disappearance, "I didn't come today to make a film, but it was of a similar nature -- it was for media work." "To put it bluntly. "Sister-in-law, Zhimin, can I talk to Lao Jiu alone for a while?"
The two came to the bedroom of the "Old Nine" couple. As soon as he sat down, Yu Gong said bluntly: "Lao Jiu, there is a lot of news about you on the Internet now. Before his old friend's face could be ugly, he added: "But I believe that a lot of the information in it does not match the facts." I know you too well. ”
After all, Yu Gong's observation of human faces was not as meticulous as Dante's, otherwise he would have found that after hearing this, "Lao Jiu" bloomed with a ray of relief between the anger on his face that had not completely subsided. This is a reflection of what it feels like to be surrounded by false accusations and to find a smile of trust and support in the disgusting gaze that surrounds you. "You're here to cheer me up?" asked Lao Jiu.
"It's not just about cheering. Lao Jiu paused, and Fang said: "First of all, Lao Jiu, I want to listen to yourself - are the things that your village committee did as written on the news true?"
The face of "Lao Jiu" was instantly clouded again, and it turned out that the smile was a smile and not a smile. "You want to steal the headlines from that site?" "No. Yu Gong calmly replied, "Although I know you very well, I still want to hear you tell me in person what the secrets in the news are all about." I believe that you, Lao Jiu, will not talk nonsense to me about this kind of thing. "I said, do you believe it?" asked. Yu Gong nodded. "If you believe it, you will believe it......" Lao Jiu said with a wry smile. "No, if you are slandered, I can find a way to convince people of your innocence, with my resources and my way. Don't forget, I use a video camera. ”
