"Zheng Xi?" Chen Ye called out his name suspiciously, his eyes became pleasantly surprised for a moment, he hurriedly put away the money, turned around and walked towards Zheng Xi, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly, "When did you come back?" Why didn't you tell me, you told me I would have gone to you earlier! ”

Zheng Xi was very calm, he smiled slightly, and said, "I came back not long ago, and I haven't had time to tell you yet." ”

"You're here—" Chen Ye looked at him suspiciously, then looked around again, and asked.

"Oh." Zheng Xi hurriedly said, "The family has built a warehouse here, and the warehouse on the factory side has been acquired, and I came here today to see how it is built." He glanced behind Chen Ye and asked, "Do you know someone here?" ”

As soon as Chen Ye heard him ask, he snorted angrily and said, "It's not all Cheng Jiahua's grandson who made trouble. ”

"Birch?" Zheng Xi frowned suspiciously, "Isn't he quite good with you?" What's going on? ”

"What a fart!" Chen Ye spat on the ground, expressing his disdain, "That grandson approached me to borrow my money, and he borrowed tens of thousands, and now he hasn't paid it back, I can't even find anyone else, my wife gave birth to a child again, and when I was in a hurry to use the money, I had no choice but to find his house." ”

Zheng Xi suddenly, past Chen Ye's body, he saw that Hetu, whose face was full of tears, was hiding behind the door and looking at them vigilantly, and a soft place in his heart suddenly sank, as if he had been hit by something. He hurriedly straightened his mind and said, "So what's going on now?" ”

Chen Ye waved the thin coin in his hand in front of him, and said helplessly: "That's it, I can't even hold a hair." ”

Over there, while Chen Ye was talking to Zheng Xi, several young bastards had already begun to say some unbearable foul language to Hetu, and Hetu was about to close the door, but they dragged and squeezed in, and refused to let Hedi close the door. Hedi was frightened, and she looked at the group in panic, not knowing what to do. Zheng Xi crossed Chen Ye's body and saw this scene, frowned unconsciously, and strode towards them.

"What are you doing?" He yelled, "Get out! ”

The young bastards looked at the tall and thin man in front of them unconvinced, but their hands and feet were not returned. Chen Ye saw that Zheng Xi was shouting like this, so he also shouted: "What are you doing with other people's doors!" Go away! ”

The young bastards reluctantly let go of their hands and took out their feet.

He was about to close the door, but Chen Ye rushed forward. He grabbed the doorknob, deliberately made a look of embarrassment, and said, "Sister, this money is not even a fraction of it, so you want to send me away like this?" ”

He Tu looked at him in horror, shook his head vigorously, and said in a trembling voice: "I really have no money, no money at all!" You guys go quickly, if you don't leave, I'll just call someone! ”

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows, and was about to say something threatening, but he didn't guard against being tapped on the shoulder. When he looked back, he saw that Zheng Xi didn't know when he walked next to him, and he pursed his lips and glanced at him.

"How much money are you in a hurry to spend right now?" He asked Chen Ye, "If you really can't do it, I'll lend it to you first." ”

Chen Ye was stunned, but he didn't say anything to refuse, he rubbed his hands, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "How embarrassing is this......

"It's fine." Zheng Xi glanced at He Di again, but his face suddenly became stern. He took out his wallet, counted out a thousand first, handed it to Chen Ye, and said, "You can take this money first." ”

"I'm sorry." Chen Ye hurriedly searched in his pocket, took out a worn-out small notebook and pencil, hurriedly wrote down a few words, handed them to Zheng Xi, and said, "This is an IOU, I Chen Ye will definitely pay you back, and I will ask for the money back from the grandson surnamed Cheng first." After speaking, he put the notebook back on, turned his head and smiled at Hetu, "Sister, I'm sorry, I scared you, you wait for Cheng Jiahua to come back and tell him that if he doesn't pay back, I will still block him like this tomorrow, I don't eat or sleep, and I have to get all the money he owes me back." After speaking, he deliberately made a vicious expression, greeted the bastards, waved his hand to Zheng Xi, said a few polite words, and turned to leave.

He Tu watched their figures go away, and only then did he let down his guard slightly. She wiped away the tears from her face and looked at Zheng Xi with wide eyes, not knowing whether to thank this person or continue to guard against him. Zheng Xi didn't have any expression, he just nodded slightly, and said, "I am also friends with Jia Hua, so I should help him today." He turned and walked towards the renovation site, never looking back.

With a sigh of relief, she hurriedly closed the door, stroking her chest in an attempt to calm her pounding heart. Through the bedroom window, she saw Cheng Yan's frightened little face lying on the glass, and a sense of weakness suddenly came to her heart, almost making her unable to stand. He had just straightened up and was about to walk towards the bedroom, when there was a sudden knock on the door behind him. He Tu was stunned, his heart began to pound again, and he subconsciously turned around and leaned on the crack of the door to look outside.

Thankfully, it wasn't the bald head who led those people back who were angry, and it was Fang He who was standing outside with an anxious face. He hurriedly opened the door to let her in, locked it tightly, and glanced at Fang He worriedly.

"What's wrong with you?" Fang He couldn't help but ask in surprise when she saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and the panicked expression on her face hadn't faded.

Seeing Fang He, the steel wall built by Hetu suddenly collapsed, she fell down on the chair, covered her face with her hands, and sobbed uncontrollably.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Fang He asked repeatedly, hurriedly sat down beside her, stretched out a hand and patted her on the back gently. She didn't know what was going on, and wanted to ask Cheng Yan who didn't know when she ran out and was lying on Hedi's knee, but she saw that Cheng Yan was also scared, and she couldn't say a complete sentence. Her heart became more and more anxious, and she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"It's not Cheng Jiahua yet!" Hedi's voice came from behind his palm, vague and dull, "He owes so much outside, and he doesn't pay it himself, so those who owe it come to the house." You don't know how bad those people are, I almost won't see you! ”

Fang He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the day he got married. Although her memory was a little blurry, and she didn't see it clearly that night, she also saw the blade that shone with cold light out of the corner of her eye, and heard those threatening and terrifying words with her ears. She also became alarmed, glanced around vigilantly, and asked, "Are you alright?" They didn't do anything bad, did they? They're all gone, right? ”

"Gone, gone!" He Di broke down and cried, "I took out all the money I saved for Xiao Yan and Xiao Lin to go to school, and they left!" ”

"Big brother, why is this!" Fang He became angry, as soon as this sentence came out, she thought of Cheng Jiaji again, and her heart became even more gloomy and angry, "I am like this, even with Jiaji!" ”

Hetu was venting his fear and fear to the fullest, and he didn't listen carefully to Fanghe's complaints. Fang He scolded for a long time before she felt a little soothed in her heart, she kept stroking Hedi's back and said, "Sister-in-law, I just followed Jia Ji and found a place for them to gamble." ”

He Tu raised his head suddenly, looked at Fang He through hazy teary eyes, and asked, "Really?" ”

"Really, I watched him go in."

He Di stood up, wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, grabbed Fang He's arm with one hand, took Cheng Yan with the other, and took two steps, but suddenly turned around and went to the bedroom to pick Cheng Lin out, and shouted to Fang He: "Go!" Let's go! Let's go to them! ”

Fang He hurriedly took Cheng Yan's hand and followed Hedi's footsteps outside. The two men went out and walked down the long, empty gravel road to the main road. I walked along the main road for a long time, entered an alley, turned left and right, and came to a very dilapidated restaurant. He looked at the sign covered with dust and dirt hanging on it, looked at Fang He, and asked, "Are you sure it's here?" ”

Fang He nodded affirmatively and said, "I watched him go in and go around to the back of the courtyard again." I wanted to follow up, but my boss wouldn't let me in. ”

He Tu was relieved, and walked in strides with Cheng Lin with a curious face. The boss was a lean middle-aged man, and when he saw them walking in, he hurriedly bent down and greeted him with a smile on his face, and asked, "What are you two eating?" ”

"We're looking for someone!" Fang He hurriedly said, his voice so loud that he attracted the attention of several other people in the restaurant.

The boss took a closer look at Fang He's face and immediately recognized her. His face sank, he waved his hand, and said with a disgusted face: "There is no one you are looking for!" No one! ”

"You fart! I saw him go in! Fang He was still entangled with him, but He Tu was already pursed and ran towards the backyard. Cheng Lin, who was bumpy with her running movements, couldn't help but grab her back collar, for fear that she would fall. Running to the door, she stretched out her hand to push the door, but was quickly grabbed by a woman, only to hear her shout: "What are you doing! ”

He Tu didn't speak, and she didn't know where she got so much strength, so she pushed the woman away, pushed the door open, and rushed in. The patio in the backyard was small, almost unobstructed, and there were several rooms opposite, all with closed doors, and there was a faint "whoosh" sound from inside. Somehow, Hetu's courage suddenly grew, she just hugged Cheng Lin like that, rushed to the door of every room, kicked the door hard with her foot, and quickly looked for Cheng Jiahua's figure inside.

Unfortunately not.

When she kicked open the door of the last room, she saw Cheng Jiaji, who was squinting and touching mahjong with messy hair with a cigarette inside. When this movement sounded, he raised his head and looked at the door in astonishment, just like everyone else, and when he found that it was Hetu, his face changed in an instant, and he stood up in a hurry, standing helplessly, not knowing what to say.

Standing with his head down for a long time, he found that there was no movement at the door, and when he looked up, he found Fang He standing at the door with tears on his face, covering his mouth and looking at him. Cheng Jiaji glanced behind her worriedly several times, and after finally making sure that his father was not following her, the panicked expression on his face disappeared in an instant, and he continued to sit down disapprerovingly, beckoning to the others, "Come on, come on!" I'm almost out of trouble, don't be afraid to lose money and run away! ”

Fang He ran in regardless of it, grabbed his arm, and whispered to him to let him go home. Cheng Jiaji was unmoved, she cried even more, as if to vent the grievances and resentment in her heart, she pulled her hair and clothes, and suddenly became messy and embarrassed. Cheng Jiaji looked at the people around him looking at this scene curiously, his face turned red, he shook off her hand, and shouted: "Hurry up and go back to Lao Tzu!" Don't be embarrassed here! ”

"Don't gamble! Please, stop gambling, go back and live a good life, okay? Fang He cried and cried, and fell to the ground, leaving his pants all covered with dirty dust.

He didn't find Cheng Jiahua in the entire backyard, so he returned to the room where Cheng Jiaji was. She suddenly saw Fang He kneeling on the ground, while Cheng Jiaji frowned, shook her hand impatiently, and scolded in his mouth. Hedi's heart was on fire, and he didn't care about Cheng Yan, who was pulling her pants on the side, he stepped forward and dragged Fang He up, and scolded: "It's useless!" What are you begging him for! Go up and fight directly, are you still afraid that you won't be able to beat him? If you can't beat it, I'll help you fight! ”

"Sister-in-law!" Cheng Jiaji stood up, "What are you doing with her!" Take her back! ”

He Tu looked at him angrily and asked coldly, "Where did Cheng Jiahua go?" ”

"How do I know!" Cheng Jiaji's face was full of disgust, and he sat down again, "You hurry up and take her back, it's really annoying." ”

He Tu stood still, and it was not good to go up and pull him directly, so he exerted his mouth and reprimanded him sharply. The people around him coaxed, watching this good show funny, only Cheng Jiaji's face was almost red to the root of his ears, and he roared angrily: "Hurry up!" Don't bother here! He didn't want to scold his sister-in-law for saying too ugly things, so he had to vent his anger on Fang He, "You shameful thing, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu!" Go back to your house and don't come out! You wait for me to go back and then slowly clean you up! You shameful thing! ”

Fang He stood dumbfounded, only listening to Hedi's scolding. She has always been timid, she has never seen such a messy scene, and she has never heard Cheng Kaji scold her so ugly, which she can't even imagine. Suddenly, Cheng Jiaji scolded a series of obscenities, her face suddenly turned red, and an impulse that didn't know where it came from controlled her, so she rushed up and overturned all the tables, stools, and cabinets in the room, and the mahjong and red banknotes on it fell to the ground, rolling and fluttering. There was a burst of screams around, and immediately some people squatted down to pick up the money, or ran outside, for fear that they would be accidentally involved by this crazy woman and that it would be bad for them to get hurt. He tried desperately to hold Fang He, but he couldn't pull it, and watched the room become a mess, and the floor was full of mahjong and banknotes. The shopkeeper ran in when he heard the sound and saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said angrily for a while: "You pay me!" You pay me! ”

"Let him pay you for it!" Fang He's impulse to his heart had not disappeared, and he pointed at Cheng Jiaji, who was standing on the side and was frightened, and screamed, "I've lost all the money, I'll see what else he can gamble with!" ”

Cheng Jiaji finally reacted, he strode over, raised his hand, and slapped Fang He in the face with a snap.

Fang He was stunned, and Hetu was also stunned, only the shopkeeper was still chattering and making them lose money.

"Get out of here!" Cheng Jiaji roared angrily, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire. Fang He trembled all over, and the inexplicable impulse disappeared, followed by fear and fear like a tidal wave that broke through the embankment. She froze for two seconds, covered her face, turned and rushed out, disappearing outside the door.

"You're such a bad thing!" He Tu gritted his teeth, finally cursed, turned around and ran out with Fang He, even Cheng Yan was left far behind, and she didn't even hear her shouting herself. Cheng Jiaji kicked the table on the ground in annoyance, glared at the shopkeeper angrily, and said, "I'll pay for it!" Shut the fuck up! ”

He ran after Fang He to the mouth of the alley of his father-in-law's house. Finally, Fang He's footsteps slowed down, she turned her head to look at Hetu from a distance, waved her hand and shouted, "Sister-in-law, go back!" I'm fine! ”

He Tu ran out of breath, and the two arms holding Cheng Lin were about to break, she heard Fang He's voice, so she stopped and gasped twice, shouting: "Don't think about it, go back quickly!" ”

"Got it." Fang He agreed, turned and left. He Tu looked at her worriedly, with mixed feelings in his heart, thinking that he was going to find Cheng Jiahua today and make trouble in front of him, but no one found her, but let Fang He suffer Cheng Jiaji's grievances. In fact, thinking about it, she shouldn't have suffered this grievance, as long as she told her father-in-law, she was afraid that her father-in-law would not care about the tutorial and discipline? But what if that's the case? A person's struggle inevitably makes people feel lonely and afraid, and only when another person who is in the same situation as himself is by his side, that courage that is not afraid of heaven and earth will return. He Tu took a few deep breaths, put down Cheng Lin, took his little hand and turned around and walked back. From a distance, she saw Cheng Yan stumbling towards her, crying out to her with a mournful voice.

He Tu stopped and waited until Cheng Yan ran to her, then she squatted down and wiped the tears and dust from Cheng Yan's face. She sighed and said slowly, "I almost forgot about you and lost you, but fortunately you have been following me." Cheng Yan looked at her aggrieved and frightened, and cried: "Mom, don't lose me!" ”

"Don't lose it, don't lose it!" He Tu hugged her and Cheng Lin, her eyes were red again, and the urge to cry came to her heart, like water that had opened a floodgate, flowing down her cheeks continuously.
