Chapter 12: Heartache

The other party's words immediately ignited me, and I threw away the red plum cigarette in my hand and shot it directly from the chair.

"What do you say, have the ability to say it again!"

I grabbed the metal railing of the interrogation room and looked at the two of them fiercely.

"I said you are incompetent, at such an age, you are still a waste, a person like you, my wife will run away with someone else sooner or later!"

"yes, maybe your wife will cuckold you now!"

The two were not afraid at all, and their words were even more presumptuous.

I clutched the guardrail with both hands, my muscles flaring up, and my hands trembling.

The other party's words touched the most fragile string in my heart.

"What do you want to do?"

A shout suddenly rang out.

A patrol appeared outside the interrogation room.

"I'm still restless here, do you want to stay a few more days?"

The patrol looked at us and asked.

"Uncle Patrol, you have to see clearly, it was that big brother who wanted to do something to us, and we didn't do anything."

The young man waved his hand with an innocent expression.

Hearing this, the patrol looked at me.

For me, the patrol is not much to say.

I don't look like a gangster in society, I'm in my thirties, and I'm still locked up in the patrol bureau overnight, which can be regarded as bitter.

"Be quiet."

The patrol looked at me with a somewhat complicated look.

I nodded, turned back to my chair.

After the patrol left, the young man did not provoke me again, and I was finally able to be quiet for a while.

One night at the Patrol Bureau, I felt uncomfortable, and when I woke up the next day, I felt that I was not angry.

Ma Guoshan came to my interrogation room and told me that my wife was awake.

And they also inquired about the situation, although they don't remember what happened yesterday, but who is his husband, the wife still knows clearly.

Patrols took us out of the interrogation room and into the mediation room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my wife sitting inside, as listless as I was.

"Husband!"

After seeing me, my wife's eyes became more angry.

"Wife, are you alright?"

I hurriedly stepped forward, hugged each other, and asked worriedly.

At this moment, I felt as if something very important had been regained.

Zhang Wen also asked me about my situation, I shook my head, and said some good news.

Then the two young men also entered here, and they both looked at my wife, but after all, there was still a patrol here, so the two of them were also restrained.

Ma Guoshan motioned for us to be quiet, and then talked about how to deal with yesterday's incident.

There was no surveillance in the alley, but because it happened at the entrance of the alley, the eye on the side of the road recorded everything.

Hearing this, the two young men also lowered their heads.

But when I heard that I had caused a minor injury to one of them because of my impulsiveness and that I could claim compensation, the eyes of the two of them gleamed again.

"Uncle Patrol, how much can we get for this compensation?"

The injured young man looked at Ma Guoshan and asked.

"Both parties are responsible, so the compensation cannot exceed the cost of the treatment!"

"Okay, I want two thousand!"

Hearing what the other party said, the young man immediately spoke.

"Two thousand!"

Hearing this number, Zhang Wen suddenly became anxious.

Zhang Wen usually doesn't even dare to buy cosmetics for a few hundred yuan, but now she has to pay 2,000 yuan if she loses money!

"Ma Patrol, they went too far, if he hadn't wanted to do it at that time, I wouldn't have missed and hurt him, two thousand is too much."

Ma Guoshan nodded, agreeing with my point of view.

"If two thousand is not enough, at least one thousand."

The young man hurriedly spoke.

Thousand......

I probably don't have forty in total.

1,000 yuan, when I was in college, even if I went out to work and study, I could have so much in a month.

But now I'm going to be thirty years old, and I can't even touch a thousand.

"Wife..."

I looked at Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen didn't say anything and opened her bag.

Inside the wallet lay several hundred-dollar bills.

At a cursory glance, it should only be five or six hundred.

"Patrol, can you let me go out and get some money?"

The wife looked at Ma Guoshan and asked.

Ma Guoshan paused, it seemed that he rarely encountered a situation like mine.

I can't even touch a thousand pieces.

In the end, the wife, accompanied by a patrolman, went out to get the money, and after returning and handing it over to the young man, the two left with a smile on their faces.

And after I was educated by Ma Guoshan, I was also released from the police station.

When I was about to go out, Ma Guoshan came to my side.

Before I could react, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Brother, there will inevitably be bumps in the road."

I nodded.

Under the watchful eyes of the other party, my wife and I left the patrol bureau.

Walking down the road, neither of us spoke.

We walked forward quietly like this, I don't know how many intersections we walked out, Zhang Wen suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed my arm.

At this moment, my heart warmed.

The haze that had enveloped me suddenly dissipated.

"That's our rent for next month."

Zhang Wen's voice came.

"Huh?"

I was stunned, a little unexpected.

"That's 1,000 yuan for next month's rent."

Zhang Wen's eyes were shrouded in mist, and she was about to cry when she saw it.

"My monthly salary is only 4,000, excluding water and electricity bills and daily expenses, there are more than 1,000 left in a month, which is a full 1,000 yuan is rent, and now that the 1,000 is gone, where will we live next month?"

Zhang Wen looked extremely helpless.

Her salary was put in the past, and she was frugal, just enough to cover a month's expenses.

We didn't expect that to happen, and we couldn't even pay next month's rent.

I hurriedly hugged Zhang Wen, and I could feel the other party's thin body trembling slightly in my arms.

We two down-and-out young men in our thirties hugged each other tightly on the side of the road.

The passers-by around looked at us, all of them puzzled.

"It's okay wife, didn't my mother give me a few hundred yuan left last time? And I have a job now, I have a salary of three thousand a month, you can rest assured, we definitely have a place to live. ”

I gently stroked Zhang Wen's head, trying to soothe the other party's mood.

Seeing Zhang Wen sobbing constantly, I was actually sad in my heart, but I couldn't cry.

I am Zhang Wen's backbone, if I give up, Zhang Wen will be desperate.

After a long time, Zhang Wen finally stopped crying, turned her back to the street, leaned on me, and touched her tears.

When she raised her head again, Zhang Wen had regained her composure, and she no longer saw any signs of crying.

Zhang Wen is like this, which makes me feel so distressed.

It's definitely not the first time the other party has done this.

After the person skillfully wiped away the tears, the person in front of the person and no one else, living as usual.

"It's okay, my husband will have a salary in the future, and my husband will make you something to eat when I go back tonight."

I said softly.

Zhang Wen smiled and nodded.

I happened to pass by a breakfast shop, and I used my change to buy Zhang Wen a cup of soy milk and two steamed buns.

I'm not so willing to do that.

Now is the time when money is needed, and saving a little is a little.

In the end, under Zhang Wen's toughness, I bought myself a bun.

Then, I sent Zhang Wen to the bus station, and only after sending the other party on the bus did I leave.

Now there is still an hour before nine o'clock to work, and it is not far from the company, which is more than enough to run over.

After arriving at the company, I looked at the time again, and there were still ten minutes to go to work.

At the front desk, I saw Chu Tiantian again.

Chu Tiantian was about to greet me, but her brows furrowed.

"Brother Yang, the smell on your body is a bit heavy."

The other party reminded in a whisper.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smell my clothes, and sure enough, I smelled a smell of sweat.

I then remembered that I was still wearing yesterday's shirt.

Yesterday, after a day of running, my shirt was already soaked with sweat, and I didn't have time to change it when I got home, and I encountered something later.

I was a little embarrassed, but I suddenly remembered that when I came yesterday, the company downstairs was being renovated, and no one should come in the morning.

I hurried out and went downstairs, and sure enough, there was no one here.

Seeing this, I quickly ran into the toilet and took off my shirt.

With such a big smell, you definitely can't wear it to work.

I already lost face yesterday, and on the first day of work today, I should try to leave a good impact on my colleagues.

The toilet was equipped with hand sanitizer, so I squeezed a little on my shirt and carefully scrubbed it.

I had already seen the quality of this garment yesterday, and I was afraid that there would be another problem.

After washing, I carefully wring it out and then go to the hand dryer.

I don't know if it hasn't been debugged, but the wind from drying the hand is very hot, and it didn't take long for a red spot to appear on my hand.

When I touched my shirt, it was still wet.

I pulled out my phone and glanced at the time.

There are only two minutes left until work.

I endured the pain in my hands and let my shirt be completely exposed to the hot wind.

At the same time, I was looking out of the toilet.

I'm afraid someone will come in at this time.

This may be the only dignity I have left for myself, the only thing I can maintain.

At the last minute, it was still a little wet, but there was no way, I endured the discomfort and quickly put it on my body.

But I didn't expect the shirt to shrink after washing, and even the buttons couldn't be buttoned.

After barely buttoning it up, I heard a discordant voice coming.

Snort!

The sound of the fabric tearing!
