Chapter 63: The Great Marshal Proposes
In the half day and night of Lin Wenjing's disappearance, the Mi family was turned upside down, and they suddenly realized that the orphan girl who was regarded as nothing in the past was so important.
No one washed the dishes and chopsticks, no one coaxed the children, no one did the housework, and more importantly, I promised Mr. Lai to come over three days later.
Mr. Lai is not an ordinary person, he is an old man in the Qing Gang, a generation of scholars, an incense hall to accept apprentices, and opened a big smoke house in Huxi that is making money every day, and Sanxin Company has business dealings, and Huang Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin, Du Yuesheng They can talk, and the relationship with the Concession Board of Directors and the patrol house is also very good, and he is definitely a figure in Shanghai.
A thousand bride price has been delivered, and no one will be able to take it out at that time, not only the Mi family will suffer, but Mr. Bai, who threads the needle, will also be implicated, they thought at first that Lin Wenjing had a small temper and would come back obediently in a short time, but until eight o'clock in the night, there was no one to be seen, so everyone was in a hurry.
"This kid, how can he have a bad temper." Aunt Mi sighed, she shared the most of the 1,000 bride price, and if Lin Wenjing didn't come back, she would lose the most.
"Hmph, maybe there's a wild man outside." My aunt said lightly, the cups and plates on the table were messy, and if Lin Wenjing didn't come back, no one would wash the dishes.
Uncle rubbed his hands: "Hey, Mr. Lai is to blame, how can we do it?" ”
The child in the cradle made a fuss, and the uncle hurried to coax it, but it had no effect at all, Lin Wenjing coaxed it in the past, and the child didn't recognize his father at all.
The child's crying added to the irritable atmosphere, and Lin Wenlong, who had been shrinking behind Aunt Mi, suddenly spoke: "It's you who abuse Sister Ah all day long, and force her to marry the old man, and Sister Ah left, it's all your fault!" ”
"Children talk nonsense!" Aunt Mi was furious and slapped her face, Lin Wenlong burst into tears and went upstairs with tears.
Grandma was still sitting in front of the Bodhisattva and reciting Buddhist scriptures, but she secretly made up her mind that when the little broom star came back, she would definitely stab her with an awl a few times to relieve the hatred in her heart.
Mr. Bai paced back and forth in front of the hall with a paper cigarette in his mouth, and suddenly stopped and said, "Don't make any noise, it's not a way to wait, Allah asks a friend on the road to find it." ”
Aunt Mi said: "Does it work?" ”
Mr. Bai said proudly: "Allah wants to find someone, even if he searches the beach, he can find it, just gossip, but ......" He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of twisting the banknotes, "The court is not short of hungry soldiers, and Tongdian still has to produce some." ”
"Out, out, Allah out!" Uncle said busily.
Without further ado, Mr. Bai immediately went to arrange, he was not bragging, there were many gangs on the beach, and there were eyes and ears everywhere, as long as Lin Wenjing's clothes and appearance were described, he really found clues.
A perennial pickpocketing of out-of-town tourists near the 16 Pu Pier provided information, and in the afternoon a little girl in a blue cloth skirt cried on the pier for a long time, and finally screwed away with a sloppy villager.
When the news came, the Mi family blew up the nest.
"Allah has said a long time ago, Xiao ** is very lively in his heart, there are already wild men outside, this time it's good, elopement, maybe there is even a child in the belly." My aunt spit out the melon seed shell and said harshly, the cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks on the table are still placed, and no one cleans them up.
Aunt Mi was dizzy, and she didn't speak with a tiger face.
Uncle said: "How can you do it, how can you do it, Lao Bai, Nong must help." ”
Mr. Bai said: "Allah has sent people to the docks, stations, and hotels to check, as long as you see people, take it immediately, but this matter is a bit complicated, Boss Lai takes a fancy to your quiet and simple family, how can a wild man come out, if Boss Lai knows, everyone will be unlucky." ”
Everyone beat their chests, it was already twelve o'clock at night, Lin Wenjing was really going to run away with the wild man, and now it was time to cook raw rice and rice, and it was too late to say anything.
……
After waiting all night, there was still no news, Lin Wenjing eloped with someone, the Mi family sighed, didn't know how to end, and was worried, suddenly Lin Wenlong ran in from outside, and said happily: "Sister is back!" ”
Lin Wenjing did come back, and she also brought back a man.
This man is Chen Zikun, originally according to Lin Wenjing's meaning, the two of them went away and never returned to Mi's house, but Chen Zikun thinks that Aunt Mi is also her stepmother anyway, and marriage is such a big thing, although it does not necessarily require the consent of the stepmother, but at least it must be said that the etiquette is passable.
Lin Wenjing has a weak temperament, since Chen Zikun asked for this, she has nothing to say, but when she arrived at the door of Mi's house, she still hesitated and didn't dare to go in.
"If they don't come home all night, they must be mad, I'm afraid." Lin Wenjing pulled the corner of Chen Zikun's clothes and said timidly.
Chen Zikun patted her little hand: "It's okay, there is me." ”
"But Uncle Bai is a gangster, and he knows a lot of hooligans." Lin Wenjing was still not at ease.
Chen Zikun knows that the ruffians and hooligans in Shanghai are not the same as those in Beijing, and they are more ruthless and vicious, he is no longer the stunned young man he was back then, and his subordinates are in control of the fate of tens of thousands of brothers.
There was a car parked not far behind him, and Liang Maocai took three people to sit inside, with box guns pinned to their bodies and violin boxes at their feet, in case something happened, they could carry out fire support at any time, presumably three Thompson hand-held machine guns and six box guns were more than enough to sweep the underworld in Nanshi.
In front is the rice house, an old Jiangnan dwelling, with an attic on the second floor, a cramped patio courtyard, the door is open, the paint on the door panel is peeling, and the alley is full of clothes, and the flowers are as green as the flags of all nations on a ship.
Chen Zikun walked to the door with Lin Wenjing in his arms and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" There was an angry shout inside.
Chen Zikun strode in, Lin Wenjing hid behind him, timidly like an angry little daughter-in-law.
The Mi family hall was full of people, the atmosphere was calm, the grandmother was still sitting in front of the Bodhisattva chanting, the uncle was sitting as the head of the family, Aunt Mi and the aunt were sitting on both sides, and the middle-aged man wearing a suit and tie with shiny hair must be the legendary Mr. Bai.
Chen Zikun smiled and said: "Everyone is here, just to save trouble, I just came to inform you that Lin Wenjing and I are ready to get married." ”
No one spoke, everyone was looking at the uninvited guest.
This kid is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, quite tall, with a Beijing official accent, it seems that he is a northern villager, although his hair is very clean, and his leather shoes have been polished, but an outdated old suit can't hide the eyes of old Shanghai, and this person must not have much copper in his pocket.
Uncle coughed dryly and said: "Wen Jing, why don't you say hello to the family for such a big thing, just leave, and spend the night outside, let the outside know, I thought that our Mi family has no tutor." ”
Lin Wenjing didn't speak, lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes.
Mr. Bai said: "This gentleman, I haven't asked for your name yet. ”
Chen Zikun said: "I forgot to introduce, my name is Chen Zikun, the word Kunwu." Then I waited to see the shocked faces of the people.
But the facts disappointed him, the ordinary people in the southern urban area of Shanghai didn't know Chen Kunshuai's prestige at all, and even if they knew, they couldn't be associated with the villager in front of them anyway.
Mr. Bai sighed and stopped talking, he was mixed with society, his eyes were very poisonous, don't look at Chen Zikun's clothes are not pannial, but his momentum is absolutely extraordinary, he pondered for a long time, and he couldn't figure out when this character came out of Shanghai Tang.
The uncle said again: "Oh, it's Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, my niece has already been engaged, and the dowry has been ......."
My aunt thought he didn't speak strongly, so she interrupted Bai Bai and said: "What nonsense do you talk to Yi, report to the official, and treat him for the crime of abducting people!" Little slut, the courage is not small, and the wild men have all been brought to the house. ”
Chen Zikun said with a smile: "This sharp-toothed person is my aunt, I, Chen Zikun, am not a wild man who abducts people, I had a marriage contract with Lin Wenjing five years ago, I want to ask you, who gave you the power to sell your niece's happiness?" ”
Aunt Mi suddenly realized, stood up and pointed at Chen Zikun incoherently: "Allah knows Nong!" Nong Nong, Nong is the country boy who pulls a foreign car and picks up dung at Ala's house in Beijing! ”
Now the truth is revealed, it turns out that he is really a wild man, the two of them hooked up in Beijing five years ago, and now they have come to Shanghai again.
My aunt shook her hands angrily: "It's the other way around, a stinky coolie dares to abduct people, and quickly call the patrol police to arrest Yi." ”
Uncle also yelled inwardly: "Don't you get out of here, do you want to wait for Allah to do it" He is short in stature, not as tall as Chen Zikun's shoulders, and he will definitely suffer if he really fights.
Grandma twisted the Buddha beads much faster, opened her eyes from time to time, and viciously glanced at Chen Zikun and Lin Wenjing, eager to kill the adulterer and adulteress a thousand times with her eyes.
Aunt Mi said: "Wen Jing, where did you stay last night, were you taken advantage of by this bad guy?" ”
Lin Wenjing blushed: "Aunt Mi, where do you want to go, he is a righteous gentleman." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't broken, Boss Lai's side would be able to deal with it, as for this Chen Zikun, find a way to send it away.
Mr. Bai finally spoke: "Young man, look at your appearance, you have also wandered outside, I will tell the truth to Nong, Lin Wenjing has already promised Boss Lai in Huxi, get acquainted with each other and leave quickly, maybe I can reward you with a few banknotes, if you annoy Boss Lai, it will be difficult to say, there are nameless floating corpses at both ends of the Huangpu River for three days, and you are not one of them." ”
Now, Chen Zikun wants to tease these little citizens who have eyes and don't know Taishan. He smiled and said: "I want to see, which one of those who dare to rob women with me Chen Zikun, now it is a civilized society, and we don't want to fight and kill, why don't we make an appointment to sit in the Jubao Teahouse, 4466 Explain clearly, Mr. Bai, what do you think?" ”
Mr. Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but people have to stay first." ”
Lin Wenjing grabbed Chen Zikun's clothes tightly.
Chen Zikun glanced at Mr. Bai, and said, "No." ”
His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and Mr. Bai, who had been on the beach for many years, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
This person is not idle!
