Chapter 30: The Mountain Village

Ling Che looked at Xiang Ke in surprise, 10,000 small animals rushed by in his heart, I endured it for so long and didn't say anything, I dared to endure it in vain!" Ding Dong ordered to keep it secret for the time being, how did you know? ”

"Sure enough!" Xiang Ke smiled: "I knew it might have something to do with this." In the future, I plan to change my career to being a bodyguard and private detective, and if Miss Su doesn't mind, I can try it for free for three months. ”

"What about three months from now?" Ling Che was stunned, what do you mean?

"After three months, I was automatically turned into a regular." Xiang Kehaha laughed.

"Whatever!" Ling Che's long-pent-up resentment suddenly erupted, and he roared angrily, "Why do you want to resign? Why didn't you tell me when you quit? Why was I the last to know about your resignation? What did you and Liu Can talk about at noon today? What other jobs can people who are going to quit their jobs talk about? Why do you have to make an appointment at home when you talk about work? ”

Xiang Ke Jingjing listened to Lingche's words and asked with a smile, "When did I make an appointment with her to talk about work at home?" ”

"Tonight." Ling Che said indignantly, suddenly realizing that the evening date had obviously been canceled, and his momentum suddenly weakened by half: "Even if you don't have an appointment at home, what is there to talk about between you?" ”

"You also know that her temporary agent of my work is my work, and it is always necessary to take over the handover." Xiang Ke said: "The rest of the handover matters Duran is doing, and Liu Can and I will not have any intersection in the future." ”

"But why did you resign? Is it because of that rule that prohibits office romances? Lingche muttered, "Even if you want to go, you should let me go!" ”

"That kind of bullshit rule is the only one you will take to heart." Xiang Ke smiled and rubbed Lingche's head: "Fool, it has nothing to do with you. It was my grandfather who wanted me to go back and help. ”

"But being a lawyer is your career, did you just give up?" Lingche was puzzled.

"You stupid woman, you can't make a lot of money as a lawyer, you can't afford beautiful clothes and brand-name bags." Xiang Ke joked with a smile.

"You know I don't care about any of this, will you be happy if you do this?" Lingche's emotions gradually calmed down, but his heart was full of worry.

"Think of it as a vacation and try something you haven't done before!" Xiang Ke smiled at Lingche: "No matter what happened in the past, it will always be my home." You know, grandpa is old, and there are many relatives in the family, so many things are naturally very chaotic, and when I help grandpa straighten things out, he will come back and continue to be a lawyer, what do you think? ”

Ling Che nodded noncommittally, although she didn't agree with Xiang Ke's approach, and even had a faint worry, but as a girlfriend, shouldn't she support him unconditionally no matter what happens? "But why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Because I didn't think it very clearly, and it wasn't until last night that I made up my mind." Xiang Ke said lightly: "If I return to the Shengshi Group, when someone wants to hurt you, you have to think about it more carefully." ”

Seeing Ling Che's eyes open with a look of emotion and grievance, Xiang Ke smiled: "Funny to you, you and grandpa are my family, if a man can't even protect his own family, then he is not worthy of being a man." Be happy, I think we should go out and celebrate, celebrate that I have turned a new page in my life! ”

Xiang Ke entered the power center of the Shengshi Group in the envious eyes of everyone, for many people, this is a blessing that cannot be cultivated in several lifetimes, but Lingche's heart is full of apprehension, she faintly feels that the man in front of her will eventually be farther and farther away from herself, and the happiness she wants to seize will become more and more erratic.

People say that work is a good medicine to stop their cranky thoughts, and in the busy days when Xiang Ke first entered the financial empire, Lingche did not stop for a moment, trying to numb his brain with work. Remembering everything he had learned about Wang Lung in the detention center, taking the time to visit his hometown to see his only surviving grandmother became a major event in Lingche's heart.

After checking the route and roughly reporting his thoughts to Ding Dafa, Lingche set off. Although there was no cross-province, the mountain road was rugged, there was no direct bus, and after several rounds and almost two days, Lingche finally came to the legendary small mountain village.

It's a real mountain village! Lingche has been to the countryside before, but those villages are already very convenient because of their proximity to the city, and I don't know how much more modern it is compared to the place called Wangjiawan that Lingche came to this time! There is only one bus a day from the village to the town, and the inconvenience of transportation and the isolation of life always seem to go hand in hand.

When Lingche arrived at Wangjiawan, it was already dusk, and there were a few children running and playing outside in the village, and the whole village was immersed in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. After several twists and turns, Ling Che found out where Wang Lung's house was, and walked through the winding sheep intestine path, bypassing a bamboo forest, compared to the dilapidated houses he saw along the way, Wang Lung's home could be regarded as a mansion in the village. The house was a newly built brick house, the courtyard was full of flowers, and an old lady with gray hair sat hunched over the doorway and gently shook the fan in her hand.

Ling Che cautiously stepped forward and said softly, "Old man, are you Wang Lung's grandmother?" ”

"What?" The old lady's ears were obviously not very bright, and she asked loudly, "Girl, what are you talking about?" ”

"Auntie, do you know Wang Lung?" Lingche raised his voice three degrees and said loudly.

"Dragon Boy!" The old lady's eyes suddenly lit up, and her face was full of smiles: "Longzi has a future in the city." ”

The door of the next house opened, and a woman about forty years old walked out, looked at Lingche vigilantly, helped the old lady up, and said, "Auntie, it's time to go home for dinner." ”

The old lady looked at her with a smile: "Good, good." ”

Seeing this, Ling Che hurriedly said, "Hello, I am Su Lingche, the assistant of Wang Lung's defense lawyer, and I am here this time." ”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman: "Girl, we already know about Ah Long, please go back." ”

Lingche was embarrassed and stunned for a moment, only to see the old lady smile and say, "Are you a friend of Longzai?" Come on, come on, eat together. ”

"Auntie." The woman quickly stepped forward: "How can you casually call a stranger in?" "Dragon Boy's girlfriend came to see me." The old lady smiled and took Lingche's hand: "Long Tsai said that he would bring his girlfriend back." Why didn't the dragon boy come back?"

"Grandma, Wang Lung, he's busy with work, and he'll go home when he's done." Ling Che said loudly.

"Oh, girl, come in and give Grandma a good look at you." The old lady excitedly took Lingche's hand.

The middle-aged woman looked at the old lady helplessly and said to Ling Che, "Lawyer Su, come in." ”

Lingche hurriedly went into the yard, simply ate the meal, Lingche took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes, and then sat in the yard to chat with grandma. The old man's ears are not very good, and many times she is talking, and Lingche is just listening quietly. It seemed that no one had been so patient to listen to her for a long time, and the young man was always busy, and suddenly there was an audience like Ling Che who made the old man suddenly interested, and he was talking about Wang Lung.

Through the description of the old man, Ling Che knew that Wang Lung was a very filial person, his parents died early, in order to let the old man live a good life, he followed the carpenter Li in the village into the city when he was fifteen years old, and for more than 20 years he worked outside while learning the craft, and he would send the money home to the old man to spend.

"This child has been miserable since he was a child, and he hasn't married a wife in his thirties, girl, I'm so happy to see you." The old man clenched his hands tightly, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"Auntie, it's time for you to rest." The middle-aged woman looked at her awkwardly and said with a smile.

"I'm not sleepy, I don't sleep." The old man pursed his lips and cried out like a child.

"You're not tired, the girl is tired after a day in the car, don't you want people to have a good rest?" The woman said loudly.

The old man looked at Ling Che, then at the middle-aged woman, and muttered softly, "I'm going to sleep, and we'll talk again tomorrow." ”

Ling Che smiled and nodded, looking at the old man's staggering back, feeling sad for a while.

"Girl, it's so late, you probably don't have a place to live." The woman looked at Ling Che and said, "Just stay at home for one night, you should go back tomorrow, our village has nothing to look at." ”

"Auntie, Wang Lung's business." Lingche hesitated, not knowing how to speak.

"Aaron is a good boy, I didn't expect it." The middle-aged woman's eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked: "Girl, you have also seen it, there are only two of us in this family now, and we really don't know anything." ”

"Has anyone come to question you about anything?" Ling Che said: "Do you also think there is something wrong with Wang Lung's death?" ”

"Girl, we also want to live a good life, my two sons are also working outside, I don't want them to have anything, can you understand?"

Ling Che nodded helplessly, and walked to her room under the guidance of the woman, and the moment the door was closed, she raised her head and said, "Auntie, if you have time to go to the city to bring back Wang Lung's relics, the fallen leaves must always return to the roots." ”

The woman nodded, and walked out without looking back.

Lingche lay helplessly on the bed, and the moonlight sprinkled quietly on the ground, bright and bright, which was a tranquility and serenity that had never been seen in the city. For many days, Wang Lung has also bathed in such moonlight, and perhaps he has also imagined a better life in the future. How could such a person who lives a good life by his craft steal his wallet? How could such a person who was full of hope for life participate in a group beating in prison? There were too many doubts to prove that this matter was unusual, but from the moment she stepped into this small courtyard, Ling Che already knew that it was unlikely that she would get the answers she wanted from here. Wang Lung has already left, and she doesn't want to touch the old man's dream that he hasn't woken up yet, let alone break the peaceful life in this small courtyard.

Is that the end of the case? Of course not. Since I didn't have any hope when I came, at this moment, where is the regret?

Seeing that the editor gave another recommendation, I burst into tears of gratitude.

But the editor is powerful, I don't give it, why can't I click it? Can't go up?

Don't comfort me, let me think about it for a while.

However, believe me, whether it is popular or not, I will stick to it, so, collectors, thank you for your support! o(^▽^)o
