Chapter 227: Asking for help
When Xiao Yue opened the door and saw the person knocking at the door, most of the complicated emotions in his heart instantly subsided, and they were replaced by anger.
Just as Xiao Yue was about to close the door, the person outside the door suddenly stretched out his hand to block the door, and said with some flattery: "Xiao Yue's niece, let's come in." ’
The person standing at the door was none other than Xiao Yue's cousin Wu Xiaoli, and her cousin Liu Qiang, and it was Liu Qiang who stretched out his hand to block the door.
Xiao Yue said angrily: "Why did you let you in?" How did you find here? ”
Hearing Xiao Yue's words, Wu Xiaoli said with a smile on her face: "Xiao Yue's niece, we originally went to Lao Yuan Lane to look for you, but your neighbor said that you moved here, which makes it easy for us to find it." ”
Hearing Wu Xiaoli's words, Xiao Yue knew why they were able to find here, there was a neighbor in Lao Yuan Lane before, who treated Xiao Yue and the three of them very well, and often sent some delicious food. So when Xiao Yue moved, he told them the address here, so that they could come and visit, but he didn't expect Liu Qiang and Wu Xiaoli to find this place smoothly.
Xiao Yue's face was not very good-looking: "If there is anything, just say it at the door." ”
At this time, Wu Xiaoli, who was behind Liu Qiang, leaned out, lifted the two bags of fruit in her hand, and said to Xiao Yue: "Xiao Yue's niece, we just came to see you, let's go in." ”
Seeing the fruit that Wu Xiaoli was carrying, and the somewhat strange tone of the two, Xiao Yue really couldn't figure out which one they were playing. At this moment, Xiao Qiuhua in the bedroom came to the door in a wheelchair and asked Xiao Yue, "Xiaoyue, who is it?" ”
Before Xiao Yue could speak, Wu Xiaoli shouted: "Cousin, it's me, your brother-in-law and I came to visit you, let's go in." ”
Hearing that it was Wu Xiaoli's voice, Xiao Qiuhua was also a little puzzled, how could two people who had such a bad attitude towards their family last week suddenly come to visit their family. However, Xiao Qiuhua is a person who doesn't hold grudges very much, because of the relationship between relatives, she still said to Xiao Yue: "Xiaoyue, let them in." ”
Hearing Xiao Qiuhua's words, Xiao Yue, who was still reluctant to let the two in, had to step aside.
Liu Qiang hurriedly opened the door and walked in with Wu Xiaoli. When the two saw Xiao Qiuhua in a wheelchair, they also greeted her with a smile on their faces.
Xiao Qiuhua said to the two, "Come and sit in the living room." ”
The two agreed, and were about to walk to the living room, when Xiao Yue suddenly said, "Wait a minute, put on the shoe covers." ”
Hearing Xiao Yue's words, the two of them were not annoyed, and hurriedly changed into shoe covers, and then walked to the living room.
After sitting on the sofa in the living room, the two kept looking at the situation in the room, and Liu Qiang muttered: "Cousin, I didn't expect you to move here, you see how beautiful this house is, it should cost a lot of money." ”
Hearing Liu Qiang's words, Xiao Yue said angrily: "What does this have to do with you." ”
Hearing Xiao Yue's words, Liu Qiang smiled a little embarrassedly, and Wu Xiaoli hurriedly counted down her husband and said, "That is, you can't speak, don't speak." ”
The abnormality of the two made Xiao Yue's mother and daughter more and more confused, Xiao Qiuhua said to Xiao Yue: "Go and pour two glasses of water." ”
When Liu Qiang and Wu Xiaoli heard this, they hurriedly said: "No need, no need, we are not thirsty." However, Xiao Yue, who was standing beside Xiao Qiuhua, didn't move at all.
Looking at the fruit on the coffee table, Wu Xiaoli put down, Xiao Qiuhua asked straight to the point: "You should have something to do with us." Hearing Xiao Qiuhua's words, Wu Xiaoli nodded awkwardly, while Liu Qiang on the side looked at Xiao Qiuhua and Xiao Yue with some embarrassment, and smiled wryly. Xiao Qiuhua said: "Let's talk about something, although I don't think there is anything else that our mother and mother can help you." ”
Hearing Xiao Qiuhua's words, Wu Xiaoli and Liu Qiang, after glancing at each other, Wu Xiaoli suddenly knelt down without warning, and begged Xiao Qiuhua and Xiao Yue's mother and daughter with a crying voice: "Cousin, cousin niece, you have to help us, I know that we were wrong before, and we shouldn't treat you like that, it's all our fault, and please don't remember the villain, you must save us this time."
”
Wu Xiaoli knelt on the ground and cried, while Liu Qiang lowered his head and sat on the sofa without saying a word.
The behavior of the two confused Xiao Qiuhua and Xiao Yue, and even Xiao Chengcheng, who was doing homework in the room, ran out.
Xiao Qiuhua was unable to move, so he hurriedly said to Xiao Yue: "Xiaoyue, go and help your cousin up."
When Xiao Yue heard this, although she still had some resentment towards Wu Xiaoli and the others in her heart, she felt a little unbearable when she saw Wu Xiaoli's appearance now. So he walked up to Wu Xiaoli's side, pulled her arm, and said to her: "What are you doing here, what's the matter, you get up first and talk about it." When you can't solve it, why do you think we can help you, and when do you value us so much? ”
Hearing Xiao Yue's words, Wu Xiaoli hurriedly grabbed her hand that was pulling her arm, and cried: "Xiaoyue, you must save your cousin and uncle, otherwise we won't be able to live."
Caught off guard, Wu Xiaoli grabbed her arm, Xiao Yue said in a panic: "What are you doing, if you have something to say, if you don't say something, how do we know if we can help you."
Xiao Qiuhua on the side also persuaded: "Cousin, don't be like this, you get up first, if we can help, we will try to help you."
Hearing the words of the two, Liu Qiang, who was sitting on the side, also helped Wu Xiaoli up and sat on the sofa.
After Xiao Qiuhua sent Xiao Cheng, who ran out after hearing the sound, into the room, he said to Wu Xiaoli, who was sitting on the sofa calming down: "Cousin, tell me, what is the matter."
Wu Xiaoli hadn't adjusted her emotions on the sofa yet, and was sobbing to herself. Liu Qiang, who was beside her, said, "Let's talk about it, the two of us were framed."
"Framed?" Xiao Qiuhua wondered.
Liu Qiang nodded: "We were originally all clerks of the Construction Bureau, and our top boss, Yu Guangming, the director of the office, often asked me and your cousin to go outside to prescribe some fake * for him, and then he took these* to reimburse him and get benefits." Originally, we were reluctant to do this, but he was our direct leader, and we couldn't help but listen. However, a few days ago, the bureau sent special personnel to various departments to inquire about the issue of clean government, and the accounts of our office did not match, and this Yu Guangming, who killed a thousand knives, actually sued me and your cousin first, and used fake * to defraud the bureau of money, and then the bureau has issued a notice to dismiss both of us from public office, and the investigators said that if it was not for the sake of us being old employees, we would also be sent to the public security organs to be brought to justice. ”
At this time, Wu Xiaoli, who was sorting out her emotions beside Liu Qiang, said with a bitter face: "We have worked hard for most of our lives, and we are about to retire, but we have encountered such a thing, if we are fired from public office now, we will not even get a pension, with the age of the two of us, it is difficult to find a job to make a living, and Xiaodong, who is now studying for graduate school and is preparing to study for a doctorate." If we both lose our jobs and lose our pensions, we don't know how to survive. ”
Hearing the words of the two, Xiao Yue frowned and said, "You can report your director to the inspectors and tell the facts." ”
Liu Qiang shook his head and said: "It's useless, the inspectors are all from the bureau, and they have been taken care of by Yu Guangming, so they don't listen to our explanation at all." ”
Xiao Yue heard this: "Then we can't help it, after all, we don't know the inspectors in your bureau, if you want me to say, either you go to report the case, or you are looking for some work, two people have hands and feet, what can't they do." ”
Hearing Xiao Yue's words, Liu Qiang smiled bitterly: "We have no evidence in our hands at all, so we can't report the case." Looking for other jobs, where is it so easy to find, the two of us have worked in the Construction Bureau for most of our lives, except for dealing with some documents and manuscripts, we have no skills, and we are so old that it is difficult to find a way out. ”
When Xiao Yue and Xiao Qiuhua heard this, they suddenly had nothing to say, and after a long time, Xiao Qiuhua spoke: "Although we are very sympathetic to your experience, but as Xiao Yue said, we can't help you at all, we don't know any of the people in your bureau, you should find the wrong person." ”
Hearing Xiao Qiuhua's words, Wu Xiaoli turned her head, looked at Xiao Yue and said, "You don't know each other, but Xiaoyue's boyfriend knows!" ”
Hearing Wu Xiaoli's words, Xiao Yue and Xiao Qiuhua looked surprised, Xiao Yue said to Wu Xiaoli with some shame: "What are you talking nonsense, how can I have a boyfriend." ”
Xiao Qiuhua looked at Xiao Yue with a puzzled expression, not knowing if what Wu Xiaoli said was true.
Hearing Xiao Yue's rebuttal, Wu Xiaoli said: "Just last time, at the Tianshui Hotel, the young man who had dinner with you wasn't your boyfriend?" ”
Hearing Wu Xiaoli's words, Xiao Yue reacted at this time, she was talking about Ye Feng. Xiao Yue also remembered that during the meal, Ye Feng had indeed greeted the two leading figures, and Liu Qiang and Wu Xiaoli happened to be standing at the end of the crowd behind the leaders. It seems that one of them should be the director of the Construction Bureau where Wu Xiaoli and his wife work.
Looking at Wu Xiaoli and Liu Qiang looking at her with hope, Xiao Yue said a little shyly: "You are mistaken, he is not my boyfriend, we are just friends." ”
Xiao Qiuhua on the side also said to Liu Qiang and Wu Xiaoli: "Xiaofeng is indeed Xiaoyue's good friend, he has helped our family a lot. In Xiao Qiuhua's heart, she didn't want Ye Feng to become Xiao Yue's boyfriend, but Ye Feng was too good in her eyes, and she felt that her daughter might not be able to get along with him.
Hearing Xiao Yue and Xiao Qiuhua's explanation, Wu Xiaoli did not give up and said: "Even if it's not a boyfriend, at least it's a friend, Xiaoyue, can you let him help us, cousin, please beg you." ”
