In front of the textile factory, Xia Aidang and Hu Xinyue pushed the cart, talking while walking towards the factory.

Wu Caifeng stumbled in front of Xia Aidang, pursed her lips, and stared at Xia Aidang with a displeased expression.

Xia Aidang looked at it with a puzzled face, and the middle-aged woman who suddenly appeared in front of him stopped, puzzled, and said, "Auntie, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Wu Caifeng looked Xia Ai Dang up and down, and saw that Xia Ai Dang had thick eyebrows and big eyes, white skin and tall skin, and he was very satisfied.

No wonder his daughter, whose heart is higher than the sky, will fall in love with the man in front of her, not only is he a high-ranking cadre, but he is also handsome, that is...

It's a bit of a flower, but a man, who doesn't have a little flowery intestines?

As long as you are married, you will be fine.

When Wu Caifeng heard Xia Aidang's words, he straightened his waist and said arrogantly: "You are Officer Xia, right?" ”

Xia Aidang looked inexplicable, very sure that he didn't know the woman in front of him, but he still nodded politely, "My name is Xia Aidang." ”

"That's right, it's you who are looking for you," Wu Caifeng nodded and said, "My name is Wu Caifeng, and I am Li Xiulan's mother." ”

Li Xiulan's mother?

Xia Aidang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then you are here to find me?" ”

Wu Caifeng glared at Xia Aidang unhappily: "I'm not looking for you, who are you looking for?" ”

Hu Xinyue next to her stared at Wu Caifeng and Xia Aidang with a puzzled expression.

There are also many workers passing by, with curiosity in their eyes.

Xia Aidang was a little embarrassed and said, "Then, aunt, what is the matter with you?" I've been with Xiulan..."

Without waiting for Xia Aidang to finish speaking, Wu Caifeng waved his hand and interrupted: "I came to you today just for you and my family Xiulan." ”

Xia Ai thought that Wu Caifeng came to find him today because he and Li Xiulan had broken up, so he wanted to make trouble for himself.

In front of so many people, Xia Ai Dang didn't want to do things too desperately, after all, some words were not good for Li Xiulan's reputation.

Although Xia Ai Dang has broken up with Li Xiulan, Li Xiulan is a girl after all, if Li Xiulan's reputation becomes bad, how can she talk about her in-laws in the future?

Therefore, Xia Aidang immediately said: "Then, auntie, let's go to the grove over there." ”

The grove is about 100 meters away from the gate of the factory, and there are no people there, and it is relatively quiet.

Wu Caifeng felt that Xia Ai was weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to let others know what he had done?

That's why I want to find a remote place to talk to myself.

However, this was exactly what Wu Caifeng wanted, and he immediately nodded and said, "Okay." ”

So, Wu Caifeng pulled Li Xiulan, who was hanging her head, and went to the grove.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare at Hu Xinyue viciously.

This glance made Hu Xinyue feel a little inexplicable.

What is the lady staring at her?

Xia Aidang apologized to Hu Xinyue and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Hu, you go first, I have something to deal with." ”

Hu Xinyue hurriedly smiled: "It's okay, you can go." ”

Xia Ai Dang nodded at Hu Xinyue, and then pushed the bicycle to the side of the grove.

There is no one here, only Wu Caifeng's mother and daughter and Xia Aidang, and the three of them can talk openly.

Seeing Xia Ai Dang coming with a bicycle, Wu Caifeng opened his mouth and said in an inquiring tone: "Who is that woman?" ”

Xia Aidang saw Wu Caifeng talking to him like a prisoner, and frowned quietly, but still said, "Which woman?" ”

Wu Caifeng looked like you can't deceive her, pointed to the back of Hu Xinyue, who had already entered the factory gate, and said, "It's her!" ”

Xia Aidang looked in the direction of Wu Caifeng's finger, and happened to see Hu Xinyue in the carport, parking, and didn't think about it: "That's my new colleague." ”

"Colleague?" Wu Caifeng pursed her lips and said in disbelief: "I think it's your new appearance, okay?" ”

And Li Xiulan always lowered her head and stood aside, especially after coming to this grove, Li Xiulan couldn't help but think about the events of that night in her mind, and her body trembled slightly.

But neither Wu Caifeng nor Xia Aidang discovered Li Xiulan's abnormality.

Hearing Wu Caifeng's slightly insulting words, Xia Aidang's tone became cold, "Auntie, I respect you as an elder, but please don't talk nonsense and insult our pure colleague relationship." ”

At this time, Xia Aidang just felt that Hu Xinyue was a good girl and had a good impression of her, but it was limited to friends and did not rise to the point of male and female feelings.

Hearing Wu Caifeng's words, he was naturally angry in his heart.

Wu Caifeng saw that Xia Ai Dang was a little angry, gritted his teeth, and wanted to scold back, but thinking of Xia Ai Dang's identity,

I think that if he offends Xia Ai Dang, he doesn't want to marry his daughter, what should he do?

So, Wu Caifeng immediately changed the topic and said: "Okay, who is that woman, I won't ask, I'll just ask you: When will you marry my family Xiulan and enter the door?" ”

As soon as Wu Caifeng's words came out, even Li Xiulan, who was standing aside and had not spoken, couldn't help but raise her head slightly, looking at Xia Aidang with a look of hope.

"What?" Xia Aidang looked surprised, and immediately said, "Auntie, did you misunderstand something?" Comrade Li Xiulan and I have already broken up, and it is impossible for us to get married. ”

"You stinky boy," Wu Caifeng immediately became anxious when he heard Xia Aidang say: I won't marry Xiulan, "I know, you snubbed you because of my Xiulan before, so you were angry and wanted to break up with my Xiulan, but haven't you already reconciled?" ”

"Reconcile?" Xia Aidang shook his head and said, "When will we reconcile?" ”

He obviously talked to Li Xiulan many times, there is no longer any possibility between them, when will they reconcile?

Wu Caifeng thought that Xia Aidang had eaten and wiped her daughter dry and didn't want to admit it, so she was anxious all of a sudden, pointing at Xia Aidang and scolding, "You stinky boy, my Xiulan is an innocent yellow flower girl who followed you, you are good now, I don't want to admit it, I tell you no way!"

Wu Caifeng snorted coldly and threatened, "If you dare to deny it, the old lady will sue you, accuse you of being a hooligan, and let the public security comrades arrest you and let you go to prison." ”

Listening to Wu Caifeng's words, Xia Aidang was also shocked, and hurriedly explained, "Auntie, the relationship between me and Comrade Li Xiulan is innocent, nothing has happened between us, if you want to sue, go and sue, I'm not afraid." ”

Xia Aidang turned his gaze to Li Xiulan, who had been standing aside with her head down, her eyes were full of anger and disappointment, and she said, "Comrade Li Xiulan, I think I have said it clearly enough, there is no relationship between us, why are you talking nonsense to your mother, when did we have a relationship?" ”

When Li Xiulan heard Xia Aidang's words, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, her teeth almost bit her lips, she wanted to open her mouth and ask Xia Aidang, was the man that day him?

But Li Xiulan knew in her heart that the man that day should not be Xia Aidang, she was afraid that if she asked, she would not even have the last hope in her heart, so she didn't dare to ask.

Li Xiulan didn't dare to ask, but Wu Caifeng on the side couldn't help it, and said directly, "The night before yesterday, my Xiaolan didn't go home all night, and when she went home the next morning, she not only had a big bag on her head, but also told me that she had a relationship with you." ”

Xia Ai Dang suddenly remembered that Li Xiulan told him the day before yesterday: I will not see you in the grove, but Xia Ai Dang has asked Sister Meng to talk to Li Xiulan, saying that he will not go.

After getting off work that afternoon, Xia Aidang rode his bicycle home directly, and Xia Jianye was also at home that day, how could he be with Li Xiulan?

Xia Aidang said without hypocrisy, "After getting off work the day before yesterday, I went home directly, the soldiers on duty in the small courtyard of our military region, as well as my father, can testify to me, I haven't gone out since I got home, how can I be with Comrade Li Xiulan?" ”

Wu Caifeng saw the anger on Xia Aidang's face, and there was no lack of emptiness on his face, and he was a little stunned for a while.

immediately set his eyes on Li Xiulan, took two quick steps, came to Li Xiulan's side, pushed Li Xiulan hard, and scolded, "You dead girl, you are talking!" Didn't you tell me that you had been with Xia Ai Dang that night? ”

"But Xia Ai Dang now says that he went home that day and never went out, what the hell is going on? Who the hell were you with that night? ”

In the face of Wu Caifeng's sharp questioning, Li Xiulan couldn't hold back any longer, cried bitterly, and said loudly, "I don't know, I don't know who the man was that day?" I was in the woods, and somebody knocked me unconscious, and when I woke up, I was..."

Li Xiulan covered her face and cried bitterly as she spoke, while Wu Caifeng was shocked and her expression stiffened.

In the end, Wu Caifeng sat on the ground with one hand, patted his thigh with one hand and cried bitterly, "Don't live, let me die, God, why don't you have long eyes?" My good girl, how could such a thing happen? She is a good girl, how will she marry in the future? ”

Xia Aidang looked at the mother and daughter crying in front of him, swallowed the words of accusation back into his stomach, and saw Li Xiulan with tears on her face, she couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in her heart, after all, Li Xiulan was waiting for him that night, so she was taken advantage of, but Xia Aidang did not regret it.

Wu Caifeng closed his eyes and howled dryly, "God, what should I do, I can't live in the future, let me die, I don't have a face to see people!" ”

It's time to go to work, and Xia Aidang doesn't know how to comfort the mother and daughter, so he can only sigh and push the bicycle to leave, he won't say anything about it, after all, it's not good for Li Xiulan's reputation.

Wu Caifeng was sitting on the ground and howling, but when he saw Xia Ai pushing the bicycle and wanted to leave, he quickly got up from the ground and grabbed the back seat of the bicycle with one hand.

Xia Aidang frowned and said, "Auntie, the words have been made clear, I didn't do that thing, why don't you let me go?" ”

Wu Caifeng pleaded with a pleading face, "Officer Xia, if my Xiulan hadn't been waiting for you in the grove, she wouldn't have been defiled, you can't ignore this matter." ”

Xia Ai's heart was already pure, and he did feel a little guilty about Li Xiulan, so he exclaimed, "Auntie, what do you mean?" ”

Wu Caifeng squeezed out a smile embarrassedly, and said in a more and more humble tone, "Officer Xia, you also liked my Xiulan before, my Xiulan is good-looking and diligent, although she is tarnished now, as long as you don't care, no one knows about it, for the sake of my Xiulan, you can marry her!" ”

Xia Aidang was taken aback, he did like Li Xiulan before, but later Li Xiulan's gradually exposed personality made Xia Aidang recognize her as a person and made up his mind to break off with Li Xiulan.

He doesn't like Li Xiulan now, how can he marry Li Xiulan again?

Li Xiulan, who was covering her face and crying bitterly, couldn't help but look at Xia Aidang with expectant eyes when she heard Wu Caifeng's words.

Xia Aidang refused without hesitation, "Auntie, this is absolutely impossible, I have broken off relations with Comrade Li Xiulan, although her experience is indeed sympathetic, but I will not marry her." ”

Hearing Xia Ai's words, the little expectation in Li Xiulan's eyes slowly faded, and the whole person squatted on the ground in despair, hanging her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Wu Caifeng listened to Xia Aidang's words, and she was also disappointed, but she said unwillingly, "Xia Aidang, this matter has more or less something to do with you, my daughter has become what she is now, don't you feel a trace of guilt?" ”

Xia Aidang thought for a while and said, "Auntie, my brother-in-law is very familiar with the comrades at the police station, if you are willing, I will ask my brother-in-law to say hello to the comrades at the police station, and let them investigate this matter and find out the man who did bad things." ”

After listening to Xia Aidang's words, Wu Caifeng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, this matter can't be spread." ”

"Why?" Xia Aidang was puzzled, "We can't let the murderer go unpunished, we have to bring the murderer to justice." ”

Wu Caifeng cried, "What do you know? If this matter spreads, how will my family Xiulan be in the future? You must not be scolded to death by the spitting stars. ”

"Is that the end of this matter?" Xia Ai asked in disbelief.

Wu Caifeng wiped her tears and said, "Don't forget it, what else?" Even if you find that man, can you turn my Xiulan back into a yellow flower girl? ”

Xia Ai was speechless.

Even if the future generations are enlightened enough, many people can only swallow their anger and cover up the past, when nothing has happened, lest they will be pointed at when they say it, let alone the present.

Wu Caifeng knew that it was impossible to let Xia Ai marry Li Xiulan now.

So, Wu Caifeng retreated and said, "Officer Xia, after all, you have talked to my family Xiulan, and now that my family Xiulan has become like this, it is absolutely impossible to marry any good family in the future, if you want my family Xiulan to live a better life in the future, you can give my family Xiulan a sum of money!" ”

"What?" Xia Aidang said in disbelief, "Auntie, how can you do this? ”

"Although I sympathize with Comrade Li Xiulan, the injury suffered by Comrade Li Xiulan was not caused by me after all, so why should I compensate Comrade Xiulan?"

Wu Caifeng said confidently, "Aren't you a child of a high-ranking cadre?" Isn't your family rich? ”

"Besides, if my Xiulan hadn't been waiting for you in the grove, would she have been defiled by a man? Your family is so rich, compensate my family Xiulan a little money, so that she can live a better life in the future, why can't it? ”

Xia Ai was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Wu Caifeng saw that Xia Ai didn't want to give money, so she hurriedly pushed Li Xiulan and scolded in a low voice, "Stinky girl, go and beg Xia for it." ”

"After all, you used to have a good time with him, if you begged him, he would definitely agree, don't forget, your eldest brother hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet?"

Li Xiulan widened her red and swollen eyes, looked at Xia Aidang pitifully, choked and pleaded, "Ai Dang, I know that I am now a broken flower and a willow, and I am not worthy of you, and there will be no man like me in the future, I am afraid that I will never be able to marry again in this life, if you still have a little affection for me, you will agree to my mother's request!" ”

"A little money is nothing to you, but my family is too poor, so you can help me one last time!"

Seeing that Li Xiulan said pitiful, Xia Aidang felt a trace of guilt in his heart again, thought about it and asked Wu Caifeng, "How much do you want?" ”

Wu Caifeng's eyes lit up, and the lion who did not hesitate opened his mouth and said, "500 yuan." ”

Xia Aidang didn't think about it and said, "This is impossible!" My monthly salary is only more than 30 yuan, 500 yuan is my salary for nearly two years, I have been working for less than a year, I don't have so much savings at all, and I don't have money for you. ”

Wu Caifeng immediately said, "You don't have money, but your father is rich, isn't your father a high-ranking official?" As long as you ask your dad, will your dad give it to you? ”

Xia Aidang said angrily, "I am me, my dad is my dad, I will not ask my dad for money, I have no way to agree to your request." ”

After Xia Aidang finished speaking, he pushed the bicycle and was about to leave.

Wu Caifeng clutched the back seat and said, "Xia Aidang, you have no conscience, my Xiulan is also a woman you once liked, she is so miserable now, you have no sympathy at all, are you still a man?" ”

Xia Aidang insisted, "No matter what you say, I won't give you 500 yuan anyway." ”

Wu Caifeng saw Xia Ai's resolute attitude, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly saw the bicycle in her hand, Wu Caifeng's eldest son, although his fingers were broken, but Wu Caifeng is strong, although the family is poor, she still wants to marry a good daughter-in-law for her son.

But a girl from a good family, who is willing to marry a cripple, but there are also many families who propose a high bride price, as long as the money is given, there will be a good girl to marry his son.

Wu Caifeng remembered that one of the girls asked for a bicycle, but a bicycle cost nearly 200 yuan, and they also needed a bicycle ticket, where did they buy a bicycle?

If Xia Aidang gave them this bicycle, wouldn't his son be able to marry a good daughter-in-law?

So Wu Caifeng's hand holding the bicycle tightened for two points, and hurriedly said, "Xia Aidang, it's okay if you don't give 500 yuan, you can give us this bicycle." ”

Xia Aidang looked at Wu Caifeng's greedy appearance, and couldn't help but say angrily, "If this bike is given to you, what will I do when I commute to work?" ”

Wu Caifeng quibbled, "You are a young man, although the factory is far away from your home, you can just run faster, and you can exercise, if this bicycle is given to our family, it will help our family a lot." ”

Xia Aidang's face swelled red and said, "No, I still have to ride this bicycle to and from work, I can't give it to you." ”

Wu Caifeng grabbed the bicycle and didn't let go, and pleaded in her mouth, "Xia Aidang, you have pity on the poor aunt, the eldest lady is old, her son is a cripple, and now the eldest daughter has been defiled again, our family is already poor, how can we live in the future?" Wu Caifeng said and said to Li Xiulan on the side, "Dead girl, ask for Officer Xia!" ”

Li Xiulan listened, and then looked at Xia Aidang pitifully with those red eyes and said, "Ai Dang, you can promise my mother, please." ”

In this era, if anyone has a bicycle in their hands, they can't wait to offer it as a treasure.

Xia Aiguo's riding this bicycle was Xia Aiguo's, and after Xia Aiguo became a soldier, few people rode it.

It wasn't until Xia Aidang joined the work that he often rode this bicycle back and forth, and although he had bought this bicycle for many years, it still looked very new.

Wu Caifeng saw that Xia Ai was hesitating, and gave Li Xiulan another look.

Li Xiulan endured the humiliation in her heart, pounced, knelt down in front of Xia Aidang, grabbed the corners of Xia Aidang's clothes with both hands, and cried bitterly, "Ai Dang, what do you say I will do in the future?" ”

When Xia Aidang saw Li Xiulan kneeling in front of him, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly reached out to help Li Xiulan, saying, "Stand up, get up!" ”

Li Xiulan cried even more vigorously and shouted, "I might as well die." So saying, she got up from the ground and struck into the tree.

"Hey, don't..."

Xia Aidang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Li Xiulan to stop her from hitting the tree.

Li Xiulan looked at Xia Aidang resentfully and said, "What are you saving me for?" It would be better to let me die, but it would be clean. ”

Xia Aidang really couldn't stand Li Xiulan's death or life like this, so he sighed and said, "Okay, the bicycle will be given to you." ”

"Really?" Wu Caifeng looked surprised, "Thank you so much Secretary Xia, thank you so much." ”

Li Xiulan also bit her lip and looked at Xia Aidang with a look of grievance and resentment, but this time Xia Aidang was too lazy to look at her again, turned around with a cold face and left.

Wu Caifeng took advantage of Xia Ai's kindness and guilt towards Li Xiulan to get a bicycle, not to mention how happy she was, and even forgot about her daughter's defilement.

All she thought about was that with this bike, her son could finally marry a good daughter-in-law.

Although Xia Aidang gave the bicycle to Wu Caifeng's mother and daughter, she felt a little uncomfortable.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Xia Aidang was running home, Hu Xinyue saw Xia Aidang running, and couldn't help but ask, "Where's your bicycle?" ”

Xia Aidang pulled the corners of his mouth, sighed, and said, "I gave it away," and turned around and left.

Hu Xinyue saw that Xia Aidang was unhappy, and just wanted to ask a few words, but when she saw Xia Aidang leaving, she pursed her lips and left on a bicycle.

Xia Ai Dang was upset and came to find Xia Solstice at night.

The Gu family just finished eating, and Xia Zhi followed Xia Ai Party out for a walk.

Xia Zhi saw that Xia Ai was unhappy, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xia Aidang lowered his head, sighed, and told the day's events.

also told Li Xiulan about it, Xia Ai Dang didn't have to tell the people in the factory about Li Xiulan, but Xia Zhi was his own sister, and Xia Ai Dang trusted Xia Zhi very much, so he told Xia Zhi.

After hearing this, Xia Zhi chuckled lightly and said to Xia Aidang: "Isn't it just a bicycle?" If giving the bike to the mother and daughter can give you peace of mind, then you don't lose anything! ”

Xia Aidang saw that Xia Zhi didn't blame him, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his face, "Sister, thank you!" ”

Xia Zhi patted Xia Aidang on the shoulder and said, "After giving the bicycle out, can you really break off with Li Xiulan completely?" ”

"Well," Xia Aidang nodded heavily and said seriously, "We will be strangers from now on." ”

"That's good," Xia Zhi said with a smile, "Tomorrow, my sister will buy you a new bike!" ”
