Chapter Eighty-Four: Snakes and Scorpions Shall Not Be Seen
The cash Li Xiaomeng took out was a brand-new 100 yuan bill, and it was also tied with a special bank-bound paper, which should be 10,000 yuan.
There are more than twenty people, and one person can divide four or five hundred.
"Chen Haobei, I thought you were really here to help me, why did you come to me to do business?"
I whispered, and Chen Haobei replied, "What words? When did I say I wanted your money, brother? But these people do have to give a little bit, that's what they do, you can't let my brother pay for this money, right? Since this girl is so sensible, let's be a favor, doesn't it help you save money? ”
I was a little unhappy and said, "Hey, what you said, I didn't let you come..." Brother Hao, tell me about your little brother, they don't charge this money, I won't ask Brother Hao for help if I have something in the future. ”
Li Xiaomeng seems to have the urge to be the number one female everywhere, and the meaning in her words is as if Chen Haobei was called by her this time.
To be honest, I don't like her very much, and I really don't pay attention to when she adds this problem.
After listening to what she said, I suddenly felt that Chen Haobei was right, since she was willing to pay, let her pay, so I said to Chen Haobei: "Cheng, don't take it as an example, you won't interfere in my affairs in the future." ”
Chen Haobei deliberately lifted his sunglasses and rolled his eyes at me and said, "I really don't know the hearts of good people..." ”
The man in black took the money, and after making a gesture, a group of people shouted together: "Yes!" Brother 1,000! Brother Hao! Good bye! ”
I went, this was obviously rehearsal, and I couldn't help but whisper: "Chen Haobei, are these people unemployed gangsters like you or the actors you found from the film and television city?" ”
Chen Haobei said dissatisfiedly: "What nonsense? Can't unemployed gangsters go to the film and television city to play tricks? What if it's red? ”
I didn't understand what the logic of Chen Haobei's sentence was for a long time.
The idlers are scattered, the dead are burned, and the work is called a day.
Chen Haobei didn't go with those people, and he didn't have anything else to do when he went back, so he stayed with us to help Auntie clean up the ashes.
It turns out that the ashes are not 'ashes', and they are not the white powder comparable to flour shown on TV at all, but some gray-white powder with a lot of bone residue on the outside.
The bone slag is large and small, and it is also gray and white, not much, and the urn that Li Xiaomeng brought is not full.
The urn bought for 16,000 8 can't be seen to be made of any material, the outside is dyed like mahogany, the inner wall looks like plywood, and the whole body smells of formaldehyde.
After packing the box, I entered the mourning hall, and I heard that although the location of the urn was only a few tens of square centimeters, it was more expensive than the most expensive house in Coastal City in terms of area.
However, Li Xiaomeng didn't tell us exactly how much these dozens of square centimeters are worth, but just said that Aunt Qian had set aside it before her death, and she would make up for it if it wasn't enough, so we don't have to worry about it.
When everything was done, the seven of us left the funeral home together.
Alas, thinking that my aunt didn't even have a tomb sweeper every year after that, I couldn't help but feel a little desolate in my heart.
Several of us have similar ideas, including Chen Haobei, after all, this product is also a person who has cooperated with Zhu Bajie, and after a brief chat, we agreed that as long as time permits, at least once a year, come here to clean the tomb of my aunt together. It's a heart, it's... Do your filial piety for Zhu Bajie, whose life and death are unknown.
Before saying goodbye, Li Xiaomeng proposed to go to dinner and sing, on the grounds that the deceased had rested in peace, and the living should be strong, so they should go to sing and relax.
Of course, she asked Chen Haobei to go as well.
Chen Haobei didn't mind at all because he was heartless, but Brother Chao and I both explicitly rejected Li Xiaomeng's proposal for some reason, and Li Xiaomeng didn't forget how the last singing ended, so she didn't force it in the end.
This surprised me a little, because now it seems that in her eyes, Chen Haobei is Chen Zhonghai's relative, and according to her previous attitude towards Chen Zhonghai, there is no reason to miss such a good opportunity to be close to Chen Haobei.
It wasn't until later on the way back that Brother Chao proposed, in fact, the reason is not difficult to guess, Li Xiaomeng is a smart woman, she was so enthusiastic before, and the result was that she didn't get anything, and she almost lost more than she gained, so even if she wanted to get close to Chen Zhonghai, she wouldn't use the same way before.
Now that she is out, it is called 'Wanting to Capture and Indulge'.
Anyway, by the time we left the funeral home, it seemed like a complete turning page on the pig fuck by this point...
It's still early before dark after the pig is busy here, Wang Yang and Xiaoxi still have a little leave for a long time, and after thinking about it, the four of us and Chen Haobei found a restaurant to drink and chat.
The topic of this chat naturally revolves around Zhu Bajie's family, and Chen Haobei's friendship with Zhu Bajie is actually limited to the time when they wanted to beat me together, and they haven't had much contact with me otherwise.
But in view of the fact that Chen Haobei failed to make money from Zhu Bajie in the end, his evaluation of Zhu Bajie is quite low. In his words, if Zhu Bajie is still there, if someone wants to ask him to help clean up Zhu Bajie, he can give a 5% discount.
Speaking of Zhu Bajie's disappearance, Chen Haobei categorically believes that Zhu Bajie ran away, and the reason is nothing more than that he owes money to people or offends people.
Brother Chao and I didn't express an opinion on this, because we weren't sure if it would be the case.
After a meal, except for Wang Yang, who didn't drink, the rest of us were a little drunk, Chen Haobei drank a lot because he was the kind of wine that didn't drink too much and didn't stop, and Brother Chao and Xiaoxi and I all felt a little bad about what happened to Zhu Bajie's family.
In case Zhu Bajie didn't die, one day he came back and found that his mother was gone... Alas, if Zhu Bajie said that he still has a little bit of merit related to human nature, it is probably his filial piety, right?
This time, I drank a little fragmented, and I even remember only leaving the hotel at the end, and I don't remember how I got home.
Fortunately, when I woke up the next day, I didn't find anything abnormal, and I called Brother Chao to ask him, and he also drank a lot, but there was no accident. Chen Haobei was angry and scolded after being woken up by my WeChat video, and I knew that there was nothing wrong with this product when I looked at him getting out of bed.
I got up and washed up and worked until it was almost dark.
I have been thinking from time to time throughout the day that maybe Li Xiaomeng is really kind by nature, so she will pay out of her own pocket and help the pig after the funeral, regardless of gains and losses.
However, a phone call that suddenly came in after dark completely dispelled the slightest good impression of Li Xiaomeng, not only that, but also made me feel cold.
It was an unfamiliar local number, and I picked it up and said "hey" and waited for the other party to speak.
"Hello? It's Zhao Qianqian, right? The voice on the other side was familiar. I replied: "It's me, you are..." said on the other side: "Oh, hello Qian, I'm Lei Zi, Chen Zhonghai and Mr. Chen, do you still have an impression?" ”
I suddenly remembered that it was the 'Brother Lei' under Chen Zhonghai, and I went to see the person Chen Zhonghai who almost chopped Cai Liang's hand that day. I hurriedly said, "Oh, it's Brother Lei, what are you looking for me?" ”
Lei Ge asked: "One thousand, that's the case, I want to ask you something, that is, the owner of your original company, the person whose whole family disappeared, did his mother die suddenly?" ”
Hearing this, my heart "chuckled", how could he suddenly ask about this and what he couldn't do with beating the eight poles?
However, I still replied truthfully: "Well, yes, Brother Lei, we just gave her a funeral yesterday, why did you ask about it?" Do you know her? ”
Lei Zi suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Qian, do you have anyone around you now?" I said inexplicably, "No, I'm at home." Lei Zi continued: "That's good, I shouldn't have intervened in this matter, but you also know that Brother Chen values you very much, so I still want to help you pay more attention to everything." ”
How much do you value me? You're welcome... However, when I heard Lei Zi's obvious words, I still asked curiously: "Brother Lei, if you have something to say, you can do it." ”
The other side seemed to have been prepared, and said very clearly: "That's the case, a thousand, it's inconvenient for me to say some things too thoroughly, isn't it that Brother Chen has been investigating his brother-in-law's affairs, just found such a thing today, I want me to tell you, I don't mean anything else, I just want you to hear it, because it may have something to do with you." ”
I was a little nervous and a little expectant "um", and I heard the sound of tapping on the keyboard on the other side, and then heard Lei Zi say: "Your boss Zhu Junfu's mother, there was a car accident about ten days ago, it was very dangerous at the time, but she was still rescued, because she didn't have any friends, so it was an employee of your original company who was helping to take care of her, and the girl's name was Li Xiaomeng..."
I felt a little weird in my heart when I heard this, but I still felt that Li Xiaomeng really had her kind side.
"It's just that after that... Five days ago, the only set of real estate under your boss's name, which can also be said to be all her belongings, were all transferred to the name of this Li Xiaomeng, the specific reason and operation process are not known, but I heard some patients in the hospital say that this aunt often claims that she has accepted Li Xiaomeng as her goddaughter, and it seems that in addition to this Li Xiaomeng, this aunt suddenly became unusual, and denied all other previous friends, and then... Maybe it can be said that since it was determined that there was no oil and water on her body, the aunt's injury, which was about to recover, suddenly became infected, and the cause of the infection was not found by the doctor, but it stands to reason that it will not be infected for no reason..."
I was a little confused, and I really understood, but I still didn't think it was likely, so I asked at the moment when Lei Zi paused slightly, "You... What do you mean, Mr. Zhu is fucking dead, isn't it... Not an accident? ”
Leizi paused and said: "Actually, she didn't deserve to die, no one wanted her life, her death was indeed an accident for what I already knew, but... That girl named Li Xiaomeng, are you familiar with it? ”
I replied, "It's all former colleagues, and they're quite familiar... But I dare not say that I understand it 100%. ”
Lei Zi on the opposite side let out a clear "oh" and continued: "This Li Xiaomeng... Brother Chen said that he had a relationship with her in the hospital last time, and the girl looked very simple, but after all, there is a saying that 'people can't look good', after the aunt died, according to her opinion before her death, everything was cooked by this Li Xiaomeng, and there is something very interesting here, that is, the doctor determined that the aunt's death was abnormal, but Li Xiaomeng refused to call the police and refused to autopsy, not to say that this was the aunt's own decision before her death, to ensure the integrity of the body. No matter what the doctor said, she didn't agree, after all, nominally she was the only relative of the aunt, and in the end, she was directly taken to cremation... By the way, a thousand, do you know about cremation? ”
I rolled my eyes at the air and said, "What do I know about that thing?" ”
Lei Zi on the other side smiled and said, "Hehe, that's right, who would have nothing to know about that kind of thing?" Let me tell you a little common sense, most of the ashes of ordinary people are light in color, but if you take too much medicine that is not good for the body on the eve of death, then the color of the ashes may be gray or even black. ”
I think I understood, but after swallowing my saliva, I wanted to confirm with the other side, so I said, "What do you mean... Mr. Zhu was poisoned to death, and the person who poisoned him was..."
"That's all I can say, this is what Brother Chen meant, you know, Brother Chen is very optimistic about you, so he wants me to tell you an old saying, 'The heart of defense is indispensable', okay a thousand, I don't bother you if I have something to do, goodbye."
