Fate seems to have been playing a joke with him, stuffing him with an unacceptable cruel reality again and again, making him adapt, licking his bleeding wounds, and he feels pain again and again! Heartbreaking! Let him be amazed at the ugliness of human nature!

His family was not wealthy, the eldest lady at that time was a surprisingly industrious woman, and she could give him an idea from time to time, they were deeply distressed by the lack of prosperity, the eldest son was born, and his life had a goal, she was harsh, but she was extremely gentle with the child, and he wanted to live a good life with her. But after the death of her eldest son, she changed, and became vulgar, trivial, and unbearable to him. The second son Meng Jiagui was born, and his life has a goal, he used to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and set off at three or four o'clock in the morning to buy goods, and did not come back until late at night, the wind came, the rain went, very hard.

For this family, he once ran on the road to and from Shanxi for three days.

He is like the donkey in the painting who doesn't know how to be tired, stretching with his head covered, round and round, always busy, earning money. One day, the donkey could not do anything, so he had to stop, remove the cloth that had blindfolded him, and find that there was nothing around, not even a grain of grain left for him.

At the end of the day, life is empty. Before his life came to an end, he had already realized this taste of emptiness in advance. For this reason, when there is no one, he hugs his head and cries. That's the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man! It was the pain of being betrayed, the pain of a man who was dying, and it was even more desolate.

"Oh my God! Why do this to me! ”

He asked the sky, the sky should not, asked the earth, the earth was silent!

The young master died, the young grandmother ran away, and the child in the second wife's womb was gone! The girl Qiu Shui'er knew that she was guilty, and hanged herself, together with the eldest wife who was kicked out of the house by him with a letter of resignation, the Meng Mansion, which was lively in the past, suddenly lost so many people! Dead dead, scattered! He Qingping has not spoken for a long time, except for sleeping, she is in a daze, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, this state has been in this state for many days. The Meng family seems to have reached the tragic place of family ruin.

Meng Xichang couldn't think about it, he trembled his hands, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and was about to turn around and go back to bed to rest, when someone came in to report that Zhang Xiangui's subordinate Xue Qifu asked to see him.

Meng Xichang was stunned.

Xue Qifu came to ask for a meeting at this time, what would it be?

Officer Liu once said that Meng Jiagui's death was probably the work of their subordinates, but the clues were interrupted and no evidence was obtained. Without evidence, the case cannot be decided. If they really did it, then they were the enemy, and they didn't seek revenge on them, but they came to the door from themselves, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? Maybe they didn't do it, otherwise, how would they have the courage to come and see themselves...

Meng Xichang pondered for a moment, and decided to meet this celebrity Xue Qifu under Zhang Xiangui first.

After Xue Qifu saluted, he sat down on a Taishi chair, he looked at Meng Xichang carefully, Meng Xichang's complexion was not good, his eyes were lowered, listless, and he was simply wearing a half-new purple satin robe, covered with a lake blue horse coat, giving him the feeling of a simple businessman.

The two talked for a while, and Xue Qifu said: "Our Master Zhang said it, and it is not to embarrass Master Meng, but this Zhou Xuan has repeatedly offended, which is really intolerable." ”

"Oh! How did he offend you this time? ”

"He steals!"

"Stealing? No way! Are you looking at the wrong person? ”

"Probably not!"

"Are you so sure?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to hand over this Zhou Xuan!"

"Although Zhou Xuan had a relationship with me that time, his whereabouts were strange, how do I know what he went

Place? What's more, this time, you lost something, this is a matter between you and him, but I don't know why you have to come to embarrass me for an old man? ”

"We don't want to embarrass you, but it's none of your business! Who can you find if you don't look for you? Last time, it was because of the persuasion of your son Meng Jiagui that I let this Zhou Xuan go! ”

"What have you lost?"

"This?" Xue Qifu hesitated, he naturally couldn't tell Meng Xichang what he lost, otherwise he would be a thief shouting to catch a thief.

"You don't need to know this, you just need to hand over Zhou Xuan!"

"My son was killed, and the case remains unsolved. The last time he traveled, Zhou Xuan never accompanied him, he probably was afraid of getting into trouble, and he rarely came to me, only came once to express condolences, and since then, he rarely comes to me again! ”

"Master Meng! I know you're in the silk business, and you're a happy person! Why are the two of us talking in circles? Everyone is tired! You say not? ”

"What the hell are you going to do?"

"Tell me, where did Zhou Xuan go? Otherwise.."

"Honestly, I really don't know! He hasn't been here for me in a long time! Do I need to repeat this over and over again? ”

"You really don't know?"

"I don't know!"

"Well, since you don't know, according to our family Master Zhang, we have to move on to the next topic."

"What's next?"

"Lately, business doesn't seem to be doing well! But the business of opening a restaurant and selling clothes is probably never a problem, no matter how depressed the world is, people are always inseparable from eating and dressing, you say! ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, it's just that our master Zhang has taken a fancy to a few small shops in your silk and satin shop and wants to take over!"

Obviously, this is a blatant robbery!

Zhang Xiangui took a fancy to it, no need to ask, it was all taken away for nothing. To put it bluntly, it's a robbery! You have to give if you give, you have to give if you don't give! Meng Xichang understands this in his heart! Otherwise, the first few times Zhang Xiangui robbed his goods, Meng Xichang admitted it, not because it was useless to sue, it was useless to fight, and reasoning was a joke!

This is the real head snake!

Meng Xichang originally wanted not to recruit him, not to provoke him, it was a big deal to be wronged, but now it seems that he can't hide from him, even if you don't recruit him, he will come over with a sniff of money.

What to do?

It seems that finding Zhou Xuan can only be regarded as a rhetoric, and taking away a few of his own small stores is his real purpose.

However, after all, Meng Xichang has seen the world in society, and he still has two moments, and he knows that it is impossible to do this.

Meng Xichang pretended to have a sad face and a listless look.

"This Xue Ye, you also know that it's not easy to get anything now, and I'm actually just a small business, and it's not easy to do! Where, everywhere is the master! No one can be offended, business is one thing, others don't want to get it, they want it! Seeing and doing are two different things, I think your Zhang Ye is just a whim, this kind of laborious and not very profitable small business, it is estimated that he will throw it aside even if he takes it, it is better not to do it. Zhang Ye, this person, everyone knows, is very imposing, he can go around everywhere, the people who mix in the rivers and lakes, his face is worth more than the big girl's ass, and he can't leave a bad impression of robbing and robbing, for these few small broken shops, how embarrassing! ”

Xue Qifu pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but how can I go back and give Zhang Ye an errand?" ”

"Otherwise, didn't your original intention to find Zhou Xuan? Isn't it just to get back a lost item? I'll do my best to help you find it, try to help you recover your lost items, and if you can't find it, we'll find a way! What do you see? ”

"There is no result, Boss Meng will think about how to hand over your shop!"

"No result! I think your family Zhang Ye is also a sensible person. ”

Small businesses like Meng Xichang's silk shop, as well as grocery stores, jewelry stores and even leather shoe stores, usually have a prosperous business, but they are most afraid of the little hooligans coming to the door to make trouble, Zhang Xiangui touched this, and often instigated his subordinates to pick quarrels and provoke trouble from time to time, and even pretended to fight and scold the street, and the customers were scared away.

Meng Xichang understands that in order to gain a foothold in society, a ruffian like Zhang Xiangui cannot afford to offend, and any businessman is stuffed with large bags and small bags to these people.

However, these guys will never be satisfied, and their appetite can only grow bigger and bigger until they eat you completely, and in the long run, how can they get it!

So you can't confront them stiffly, but you can't blindly obey them! Officer Liu has not yet solved the case, and it is unknown whether Meng Jiagui's death has anything to do with them. It seems that it is better to stabilize them first and not cause more damage to their own business is the first priority.

"Xue Ye, wait a minute!"

Meng Xichang entered the inner house, and after a while, he walked out with a bag of things inside.

After all, it is an old man, and Meng Xichang prepared two generous gifts, one for Xue Qifu and the other for Zhang Xiangui.

In fact, there are many people who give money and gifts to Zhang Xiangui, regard him as a talisman, a backer, and recognize him as an old man and godfather, and everyone knows it.

Meng Xichang understood very well that Zhang Xiangui's original intention was this: to ask for money!

"It's not easy to be a businessman, I know that Xue Ye, you always have a way! I also have to bother Xue Ye to go back and say more kind words, this means, I hope to smile! ”

"Good, good!" Xue Qifu nodded with a smile while pouring tea himself. "It's just that Zhou Xuan, I hope Master Meng will put some effort into it."

"I remember! As soon as there is news, I will send someone there. ”

When Xue Qifu walked out of Meng's house, he happened to bump into a woman who came in from outside, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. This woman's face is like a hibiscus, her eyebrows are like willows, her skin is like condensed fat, and her beautiful eyes are really bright and moving! Her jet-black hair was curled into a bun and combed back of her head, and she wore a lilac emerald cigarette shirt and a floral mist pleated skirt, swaying as she walked. Xue Qifu has seen a lot of beauties, but it is the first time he has encountered such a delicate one.

"Who is this woman?"

When he went out, Xue Qifu looked back frequently, and asked the people around him in a low voice.

"Meng Jiagui's newly married woman, Liu Peizhu!"

"Oh! This is Liu Peizhu! It is indeed a rare beauty! No wonder the big brother is so obsessed! ”

Liu Peizhu, the name of the stunning woman in everyone's mouth, Xue Qifu is not unfamiliar at all, he even went to Liufu to ask Zhang Xiangui for this woman, but he has never seen this woman, and he was shocked to see it today.

If he helps Zhang Xiangui get this girl, he will definitely value himself even more.

Thinking of this, Xue Qifu stopped and turned around, staring at the gate of the Meng Mansion for a long time before slowly turning around and leaving thoughtfully.

Actually, Master Meng is right, Zhou Xuan really didn't come to Meng Xichang, he is an extremely shrewd person, since he took the painting, he ran away, where did he go? No one knows!

He's getting smarter!

Zhang Xiangui wants to kill him, and Meng Jiagui died because of him, why is he still staying here! He knew that Zhang Xiangui was not easy to deal with, and it was not easy to start for a while, if he acted hastily, he would not be able to kill him, and there was a possibility of being killed. Now, with that painting in hand, I still need to worry about it in this life! You can eat and drink spicy food anywhere, and enjoy the glory and wealth!
