Chapter 17: Mother-in-law
When Fang Xiaochen was packing up his things, his movements were ridiculously loud, purely to vent his dissatisfaction and make earth-shattering movements. After a toss, he finally couldn't twist his thighs with his arms, and followed Fang Yueyuan downstairs with his small bag in a huff. Before leaving, Cheng Zhichao threw a glance full of resentment, adding a little sadness.
This look gave Cheng Zhichao the urge to give her a heavy hug before she went downstairs, plus a hot kiss, but unfortunately, under Fang Yueyuan's loving and majestic gaze, this thought was quickly dispelled, and he could only watch Fang Xiaochen's pretty figure disappear in the dark corridor after turning a few corners.
To his surprise, Fang Xiaochen left, but the two so-called inner spies stayed. Liu Xin hugged his arms, shook his head and sighed: "The beauty is gone, and the spare time is echoing, it seems that someone will not be able to sleep tonight." ”
Sun Jinbao nodded on the side, agreeing with her point of view. The two of them completely ignored Cheng Zhichao's existence, and Qi Qi sighed again, as if he was really sad for Cheng Zhichao and Fang Xiaochen.
Of course, Cheng Zhichao knew the wolf ambitions of these two people, snorted, returned to the living room dejectedly, took a broom, cleaned up Fang Yueyuan's broken cup, poured himself another glass of water with his head down, and sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze.
Liu Xin wanted to stimulate him again, but seeing his lonely appearance, he felt a little unbearable, so he sat down beside him and said softly: "Don't be too sad, it's not life and death, who will you show this bear like?" You're still a gentleman, aren't you? ”
Cheng Zhichao drooped his head, and he was excited: "I'm not sad, I just feel that I'm quite useless, Xiaochen made such a big move before leaving, it's nothing more than being dissatisfied and not wanting to go home." As a man, I couldn't even meet my own woman's requirements, which was a failure. ”
Liu Xin pouted with a sigh in his mouth: "It's quite like that, men and women are all up." Don't talk about you, even we can't help it, it's my mother who is back, what can I do? Don't look at Xiaochen's mother, who rarely comes back, but every time she comes back, the mother and son have to hit the earth with Mars. The big one is not pleasing to the eye, saying that it is too indulgent, not like a girl; The small one is also awkward to look at the big one, and when she comes back, she knows that she has never received maternal love from her. ”
Cheng Zhichao couldn't help but raise his head when he heard her say funny: "And then?" ”
Sun Jinbao said twice, and said, "Then what else?" , both of them are stubborn, no one obeys anyone, and they quarrel at home. Sister Xiaochen was so angry that the first Buddha was born, and her mother was also so angry that the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and every time she was so angry that her eyes turned green and she returned to Beijing. It's just that Uncle Fang is suffering, don't look at him majestic outside, but he really has nothing to do about the two people in the family. ”
Thinking that the majestic Fang Yueyuan was helpless against the contradictions between his wife and daughter, Cheng Zhichao was suddenly relieved, and the sadness on his face disappeared. casually asked Liu Xin, "What does Xiaochen's mother do?" Why does it sound like you won't be home for months as soon as you leave home? ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Sun Jinbao opened his mouth, but even Liu Xin was dumbfounded, and the two of them only looked Cheng Zhichao up and down from head to toe, and their expressions were as weird as seeing a desolate monster.
Cheng Zhichao subconsciously looked at himself with their eyes, there was nothing wrong with it, and said strangely: "What's wrong?" Am there anything wrong with me? ”
Liu Xin glanced at him with extreme sympathy, turned his head and couldn't bear to talk to him again. Sun Jinbao is child-like, his eyes are open like a lantern, and his mouth is even more open enough to stuff two eggs: "My brother, you won't, right?" I've been with Sister Xiaochen for so long, and I don't even know what my mother-in-law does? ”
Cheng Zhichao shook his head innocently and said with a wry smile: "I really don't know, Xiaochen has never mentioned her mother to me. If it weren't for hearing today that her old man was going back to Binhai from Beijing, I would have almost ignored her old man's savings. Even what Uncle Fang did, in the early days of getting along with her, she was silent. ”
Sun Jinbao shouted impossible, shouting strangely, and turned his gaze to Liu Xin.
Liu Xin took out a small frustration knife from his bag, and while carefully trimming his nails, he said lightly: "What's strange?" As soon as she came back, Xiaochen felt as if she was tied up with a rope. The mother and son are like enemies in their previous lives, Xiaochen rejects this mother from her heart, and it is normal not to mention her, if you open your mouth and close your mouth to talk about your mother, it will be a strange thing. ”
Sun Jinbao suddenly realized, with a flattering face, Lianzan Sister Gao Jian, such a complicated matter was easily guessed by her, and it was really the reincarnation of the daughter Zhuge .
Liu Xin didn't buy his account, stood up and flicked a chestnut on his head, and rolled his eyes: "Gao Jian's fart, except for patting sycophants all day long, I haven't seen you do anything serious." asked you to drive away today, but you summoned Uncle Fang in less than half an hour, and I haven't settled the account with you yet. ”
Sun Jinbao even shouted wronged: "Originally, I wanted to drive the car to the beach to suck some sea breeze, but I didn't go far before I was caught up, you also know how good the kung fu of the two guys behind Uncle Fang is, I can't run away even if I want to." If I have Brother Chao's two strokes, I can beat those two guys down by dividing them by two, or Brother Chao, you can accept them as my apprentices. ”
Cheng Zhichao was angry and funny, and he also learned from Liu Xin to play him: "Those two people just now inadvertently showed their kung fu, even if I can't beat them down with three strokes and five divisions by two, even if you are cramming Buddha's feet, you can't achieve the effect you want without ten or eight years, you better save it." ”
Sun Jinbao looked stunned, muttered twice unconsciously, and didn't know what he was talking about, he sat on another sofa with a bitter and hateful face, bored and playing with the switchblade in his hand.
Liu Xin frowned and said angrily, "Xiaobao, can you put that thing away?" Others say you're like a big brother, but do you really think of yourself as a big brother? How many big brothers are idle and play with switchblades every day? ”
Sun Jinbao didn't raise his eyes: "You're right, there aren't a few big brothers who are idle and play with switchblades every day, I'll get a pistol tomorrow, it's always okay, right?" ”,
Having said that, he was still in awe of this half-sister in his heart, and although he was full of complaints, he still obediently put away the switchblade.
Liu Xin was very satisfied with his appearance, smiled, lowered his head, and continued to frustrate his nails, and said while frustrating: "Xiaochen's mother was met by his father in the field hospital back then, and I don't know what means he used. Within a few years of getting married, Uncle Fang transferred to a local job, but her mother has stayed in the army and is now doing administrative work at the Military Medical University. I don't know exactly which military medical university it is, but you know that her mother's level is not lower than your father's. ”
Of course, this was said to Cheng Zhichao, which can be regarded as an answer to the question he just asked.
Cheng Zhichao shouted in his heart: "My day." When I met Fang Xiaochen, I just thought she was an ordinary girl, but I didn't expect to know that the woman was actually the daughter of the gang boss in Binhai City after a while. This is enough to shock him, after listening to Liu Xin's words today, he realized that Fang Xiaochen is not only the daughter of the gang boss, but also the daughter of a high-ranking cadre, this news surprised him even more than Fang Yueyuan's identity.
Liu Xinlan was kind, although she didn't see his expression, she guessed his psychological state, and smiled: "I didn't dream of it, right?" The man of the year in Binhai City, his wife is actually a high-ranking cadre in the army. ”
Cheng Zhichao nodded: "I really didn't expect it, and I can't figure it out, Uncle Fang's business, she won't know that it is a strange thing that a senior officer who has been educated by the party for many years has not drawn a clear line with him." ”
Liu Xin smiled: "Draw a clear line? Do you think it's the Cultural Revolution? Of course she knows about Uncle Fang's business, but the feelings of the two are also there. As long as Uncle Fang doesn't do anything out of line, she doesn't bother to care. What's more, she works in Beijing for at least 10 months out of 12 months a year, and she can't manage it even if she wants to. Saying that, he sighed and continued: "It may also be that he knows Uncle Fang's business, so he is reluctant to come back, and it is not easy for us juniors to say anything about these elders." ”
"Not too out of place? The gang boss is not too out of line? Cheng Zhichao patted his head, and he didn't know what Liu Xin thought in his heart, in his opinion, the matter of piercing a hole in the sky was still as natural as law-abiding operation in her mouth.
After all, the backgrounds of the two people are different, Liu Xin didn't make a fuss about his reaction, and his tone was still as soft as a spring breeze: "How do you look at it, compared with what others do, Uncle Fang is already much better, one does not transport drugs, the other does not sell arms, at most it is to smuggle goods, and by the way, open some bathing centers or something, which can be regarded as promoting social prosperity from another level." It is said that Xiaochen's mother couldn't figure it out at the beginning and almost didn't get divorced. However, Uncle Fang's means were high, and he finally kept her, but she was put on a shackle. ”
Cheng Zhichao said strangely: "Shackles? What flail? ”
"There is only one condition for not divorcing, that is, doing business is doing business, but there is a bottom line, no matter how big Uncle Fang's business is, it can't cross this bottom line, once it crosses the thunder pool, then Aunt Fang will immediately part ways with Uncle Fang."
Cheng Zhichao hurriedly asked, "What is this bottom line?" Did You Know? ”
He didn't know anything about Fang Yueyuan's business scope, he only knew that what this person did must be a forbidden thing, and he still had a trace of illusion in his heart, always hoping that Fang Yueyuan could see it for his wife's sake, so as not to make the situation too big, otherwise when the time comes, even if Fang Yueyuan is done, in his parents, he will have to go through a lot of trouble.
Liu Xin put away her nails, looked at her nails carefully, and finally nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at Cheng Zhichao: "Of course I know." The bottom line that Aunt Fang set for Uncle Fang is that no matter how big the business is, you can't lose your life. Even if the boat capsizes in the future, he must save his life, in other words, his life is his own, and he can't let the family judge his life and lose it. ”
Cheng Zhichao laughed: "This bottom line is a bit difficult, with the scale of Uncle Fang's business, it is difficult to break through." ”
Without waiting for Liu Xin to speak, Sun Jinbao's voice sounded at the right time: "That's it, Aunt Fang is just looking for comfort for herself, there are a few of us who are mixed in the road and can control our own fate." Uncle Fang only smuggled goods and did not sell powder, and it was also because of Aunt Fang that he didn't get himself to death. But with such a big business, some things are unavoidable. ”
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xin's face turned cold, and he said sharply: "Xiaobao, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Sun Jinbao didn't care: "It's just talking, what are you afraid of?" Brother Chao is not an outsider, and he doesn't know what Uncle Fang does. ”
Liu Xin's face was still covered with frost: "You don't pay attention to the occasion when you talk like this, you can say whatever comes to mind, sooner or later something will happen, you want to go." ”
Sun Jinbao sneered and said, "Something? It's not like I haven't had an accident, I'm afraid I have to have half a foot in the case file in the bureau, right? It's not like I'm still alive and well. And you and Sister Xiaochen, indeed, our business, the two of you didn't get involved much, but one of you is Uncle Fang's goddaughter, and the other is Uncle Fang's own daughter, which of us brothers can't wait to build a board to provide for the two of you? In the provincial capital, you are unknown, but in Binhai, you can just look at Xiao Yang's attitude towards you today, do you still need to say it? Sister, don't be stupid, from the day you recognized your godfather, I'm afraid that people will be targeted, even if you jump into the Huangpu River, you can't wash it. ”
Liu Xin's expression darkened, and then his two eyes were shining, pointing at Sun Jinbao, his lips moved a few times, but he was so angry with this younger brother that he couldn't say a word. After a long time, he let out a long sigh, covered his face, and leaned his head on the back of the sofa.
Sun Jinbao was also startled when he saw her angry like this, sat on the sofa with his head bored and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and slipped towards Cheng Zhichao with a pair of thief eyes. I want him to say good things on the side and suppress the old lady's fire.
Cheng Zhichao looked at him, felt a little funny, and threw him a look that he knew today, why bother, coughed twice, and just wanted to speak, but saw Liu Xin wave his hand: "Don't say it, I'm fine." What Xiaobao said is also true, even if I didn't do anything, Binhai City has long regarded me as a key care object. ”
Cheng Zhichao shook his head at Sun Jinbao, meaning that I have no choice, you can do it yourself. His original intention was to hope that this kid could bravely stand up and admit his mistake to Liu Xin, but unfortunately, he overestimated Sun Jinbao's courage, after this kid saw Cheng Zhichao touch a soft nail, he didn't even have the courage to apologize, and sat on the sofa like a piece of wood, staring at Cheng Zhichao with big eyes and small eyes.
After a long time, I saw Liu Xin sigh, removed the hand on his face, and said softly to Cheng Zhichao: "Xiaochen has a good life, if you find a good man like you, you can't let her down." Remember, no matter what, bring Xiaochen out of this circle, even if it's just the two of you selling vegetables on the street, it's much stronger than now. At least you can eat a bowl of peaceful rice, so you can agree to any conditions that Uncle Fang puts forward to you, but there is only one thing that you can't agree, and that is to help him take care of his business. Do you see what I mean? ”
Cheng Zhichao was moved in his heart, looked at her face like white jade in the light, and nodded slowly. I want to say something, but I feel that at this time, no matter what I say, it is superfluous.
"Young Master Ben is good at everything, but he can't see a woman being gentle, no matter what kind of woman she is, if she is gentle with me, I won't be able to stand it, and I will be so moved that I can't even speak."
This is Cheng Zhichao's final conclusion to himself after desperately getting rid of Liu Xin's gentleness and exhausting millions of brain cells.
