Chapter 230: Old Habits Are Hard to Change
Fu Lingyun went out again, leaving Chu Qingruo to spend his days like a year with a radish in his arms. The child grew up fast, and in a blink of an eye he had fallen to the ground and could run and jump.
Radish that just turned two years old this year, and now his big name is Fu Tieyi, the word Hanhai. Fu Lingyun once said with a smile that if he gave birth to a daughter one day, he would be named Feixue, and his nickname would be Baicao. Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. Even if the son is unwilling to inherit his father's business and become a general, then he will train his daughter to become a female general who will go down in history.
The north wind swept the ground and the grass folded, and the snow flew in August.
Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom.
Scattered into the bead curtain wet curtain, the fox fur is not warm and thin.
The general's horn bow is uncontrollable, and it is difficult to protect the iron clothes.
The sea is dry and icy, and the gloomy clouds are bleak and condensed.
Chu Qingruo wrote this poem under the warm autumn sun, and looked at Radish with a smile as he was talking to Xu Huan, who was only one year older than Radish and Zhou's mother's son, and the two were talking and communicating in a way that no one could understand.
Zhou's mother took Chunju and Xia He to sew clothes while being amused by the two of them, leaning back and laughing.
She looked at the scene in front of her, and in a trance, those days in the country of Mexico were a little like a dream in her memory. The years are good, quiet as water, probably the life like now! She thought.
It's a pity that before her thoughts subsided, she was shattered by a rapid knock at the door of Yusheng Garden.
Bang Bang Bang!
"Young lady! Young lady! ”
Mother Zhou frowned, glanced at Chu Qingruo, who was also disturbed by the knock on the door, hurriedly put down the needlework in her hand, and answered loudly: "Here, who!" ”
As soon as he opened the door, it was the new steward in the house in Papaya Lane, Uncle Pei.
"Lao Pei, why are you?" Zhou's mother was surprised.
Uncle Pei is fifty-three this year, his appearance is clean and upright, and he usually does things quite steadily and decently. Generally, if there is anything going on in Papaya Lane, he will send someone in advance to ask for instructions or report regularly. There are very few people who are so reckless and panicked as they are today.
Uncle Pei was helpless when asked by Zhou's mother: "Mother Zhou, I really have no choice, so I came to the young lady in such a hurry." The house is there, there is ...... Something happened! You guys, go back and have a look, right? ”
When Chu Qingruo heard this, he said aloud to Zhou's mother: "Mom, let him come in and talk!" ”
Xia He hurriedly got up and brought him a small pestle and invited him to sit down, Chunju poured him a glass of water and handed it to him. was rejected by the anxious Uncle Pei.
Seeing this, Chu Qingruo knew that the matter was not small, so he ordered Xia He to take a good look at the radish, and asked Chunju to find Kangzi, and then asked what happened.
Uncle Pei was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at the moment, and he turned around: "Young lady, it was my aunt who signed a large amount of gambling debts outside, and she, she actually gave our house in Papaya Lane, and now the rolling dragon has come to collect our house with a group of people, so go quickly!" No matter how late it is, we won't have a house! ”
When Zhou's mother heard it, she felt strange: "That house is written by Miss, oh no, the name of the young grandmother!" The deed is still with me! And how did she get out of the mortgage? ”
Uncle Pei was taken aback when he heard this: "What? Then, the rolling dragon came with the title deed written in black and white, this, what's going on? ”
While talking, Kang Zi came with Chunju hearing the news, Zhou's mother walked into the room, took a cloak, and put it on Chu Qingruo, and the three of them followed Uncle Pei to take Papaya Lane.
As soon as I walked into the alley, I saw that there was a large group of people watching the excitement at the door of the house. The four of them pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, and before they had even set foot in the courtyard, they heard the rolling dragons shouting in the courtyard: "Come, get that old immortal out for me, if the others refuse to leave, they will eat my fist if they stay!" ”
Chu Qingruo raised his eyes coldly, and saw a man in his forties, with a round waist and thick shoulders, wearing a blue-black short shirt and pants, holding his sleeves, revealing the hand of a tattooed scorpion on his arm, wiping his bare head, and the other hand was clenched into a bowl-sized fist, constantly waving threateningly in front of the Chu family's subordinates: "Can you go?" To go or not to go? If you don't go, please eat your fist! ”
The subordinates, maids, and mothers-in-law of the Chu family were all so frightened that they shrank their necks and hid in the courtyard to the east and west like a flock of chickens. Tell them to go? Where can they go? They are all people who have been sold into slavery, and when they have walked out of this door, where else can they go?
Kangzi was furious: "Stop!"
The rolling dragon turned to look at Yasuko. "Yo he! Where did this come from? Why do you want to help them pay them back? ”
"Where are you again? Do you know whose house this is? How dare you go wild here? Yasuko laughed angrily at him.
"Yes! Isn't this the house of Major General Fu Lingyun Yue's father-in-law? What happened to the general's wife? Then you have to pay off the debt! The Rolling Dragon said nonchalantly.
"You!" Kang Zi angrily wanted to draw a knife and cut this bastard.
Chu Qingruo raised his hand to stop him. "Debt repayment. Vouchers are available. ”
Rolling Earth Dragon looked her up and down with a smile, and saw that she was dressed luxuriously, knowing that she was definitely not an ordinary woman, but she also knew her: "Dare to ask who this is?" ”
"I am a member of this Chu family." Chu Qingruo also looked him up and down, "Who owes you money, why don't you ask her for it, but come here to mess around?" What do you call a gentleman? ”
Rolling Earth Dragon was called Mr. for the first time, and he was a little flattered, and he arched his hand: "Madame said that it was funny, the villain doesn't know a few words, so he shouldn't be called like this." Madame just calls the villain Kunzi. ”
"Okay, it seems that Brother Kunzi is also a straightforward person, then I might as well open the sky and say bright words, the title deed in your hand is fake. Brother Kunzi, you have been fooled! Chu Qingruo knew very well that the more humble the ninth-rate people, the more they longed for the respect of others. So she said to him politely and honestly.
As soon as her words came out, not only was Long Kunzi surprised, but even the neighbors who were blocking the door behind her whispered in surprise: "Ah? What, the title deed is fake? That's evil. I'm afraid that this rolling dragon will lose all its money! ”
"Hey~ You that leisure, borrowing money is not a good thing, and lending money to others to go to the gambling house is not a good stubble, you deserve it! Call them dog-eat-dog! Let these rolling dragons harm people again! ”
"That's right, that's right!"
These words naturally reached the ears of Rolling Dragon Kunzi, and his face changed blue and red, and he immediately gritted his teeth: "You are talking nonsense!" How can the title deed be fake? You obviously want to help Chu Wenhong's slut pay the bill! As he spoke, he took a step in front of Chu Qingruo, his fists clenched and gurgling.
Kang Zi hurriedly took a step forward and drew his waist knife: "You dare to be rude to Madame?" ”
Chu Qingruo was not in a hurry: "If Brother Kunzi doesn't believe it, we can go to the yamen together and ask the adults to appraise the title deed in my hands and you, is it real?" ”
“……”
Kunzi saw that she was serious, without the slightest fear and panic, and had a bad premonition.
But if they don't get the money back, the owner of this bad debt is just going to be counted on his head, how can he take out such a large amount of money? If he had these money, he wouldn't have been a thug of the Rolling Dragon, and he would have made a living for others!
So he gritted his teeth: "Okay! Go for it! ”
When he arrived at the yamen, Chu Qingruo asked Kangzi to beat the drum, and he took the pen and paper from the fortune teller at the door, wrote a note, and handed it in. The form is clear, and it is clearly written that Chu Wenhong colluded and conspired to take away the property in the name of Chu Qingruo in Papaya Lane with a fake title deed.
After the old man ascended to the court, he asked both sides about the words, and after taking the true and false title deeds and reading them, he then ordered the head catcher to investigate the matter and collect evidence, and then shouted to retreat, and everyone went back to wait for the results of the investigation to be promoted again.
Soon, the case had a result.
It turned out that Chu Wenhong had lived in Papaya Lane with Chu Wenxuan and Dong Ge'er since the old mansion suffered such a catastrophe. At first, it was peaceful. But after a long time, I couldn't help but have a lively mind.
happened to meet Chu Qingruo was kidnapped, Chu Wenxuan was half-paralyzed in bed, and Dong Ge'er was also a nerd, and he didn't listen to anything outside the window all day long, and only read sage books. After doing nothing all day, she couldn't change her old habits, and went to the gambling house to have fun.
At the card table, between words, she inadvertently said a matter in her heart that she had been indignant, but it was listened to by someone who had a heart and put it in her heart.
Chu Wenhong has been obsessed with nostalgia for the old lady for so many years, and she has been partial to her nerdy brother since she was a child. handed over all the property in the family to him, so that he is now penniless, and he has to send someone to the fence. Especially the house in Papaya Lane, that location, in the middle of the noise, is the most suitable for yourself to retire.
The people who gamble together, someone said, "That house belongs to your mother?" Chu Wenhong said that it was natural. The man nodded, and that would be easy! I'll help you! But when it is done, you are to give me half of the money.
Chu Wenhong pursed his lips disdainfully: "Cut...... Half of you? So it's not that I can't get the house? ’
But the man said, "At least you have half of it, and you can buy a smaller house elsewhere, which is better than what you are now, at all, right?" So, do as I say, and if you get the house, you will give me half of the money, and if I get the money, you will give you half of the money. ”
Thinking that it was indeed that Li'er, she asked, "Yes!" So how do you say you want to do it? ”
That person is the owner of the rolling dragon, the owner of the pawnshop in the north of the city, Yao Fu (to be rich), he gave himself the nickname "cash cow", which means that he wants his wealth to be inexhaustible!
This person is white and fat, with a short figure, a small nose and small eyes, and he looks like a philistine. Listening to this name, it is conceivable that this is a person who is not greedy enough to swallow elephants.
Chu Wenhong works with such a person, how good can he go!
