Shadow hiding in the dark 2
"Don't! Stop it! A figure sat up in the darkness suddenly, sweating profusely and goosebumps standing up all over her body.
Awakened from the nightmare again, Chen Menglian threw herself in her chest, and couldn't help but rejoice that it was just a dream, although this nightmare had really happened in reality.
She slowly lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but the world of closing her eyes was no different from opening her eyes, because she was blind.
Listening to the snoring sound in his ears, his hand touched the face of the person next to the pillow and groped, he seemed to feel something, woke up and patted the back of his hand gently, a pair of big hands completely wrapped her hand, she gradually put her mind at ease and slowly fell asleep.
His name is Xiao Juncai, and like her, he is also blind.
They opened a blind massage parlor in Xiao Juncai's hometown town and got married not long ago, but she always felt that she was not worthy of Xiao Juncai, because on a night when Xiao Juncai was away, a man suddenly broke in and bullied her when she was about to close the door.
The humiliation and pain she suffered that night was a pain she will never forget in her life, not only physically, but also mentally.
The abuser came prepared and did not leave any evidence, and no one really helped her in a strange foreign land, and she did not dare to tell others that only Xiao Jun, as her husband, would never abandon her.
She often thinks: How can I be worthy of the love of a talented person when I am so unclean, but I can't do without him, in this strange place, I have nothing to rely on except him, so I can only redouble my kindness to him and make up for him little by little.
This is a very humble idea, but for Chen Menglian, it is difficult to realize, she can only carefully maintain the relationship between the two of them. She didn't dare to imagine what she would do if Xiao Jun knew about this matter.
Fortunately, it was calm for a long time, and the number of nightmares she had gradually decreased.
"It's two hundred dollars in total, and the money is just in a small box next to the counter, thank you."
Seeing off the last guest, Chen Xiulian lay on the chair tiredly to rest, pulling the money in the small box, touching the banknotes one by one, one hundred and fifty, and the rest were no more than ten yuan denominations, and she felt uncomfortable.
"Menglian, I'm back!"
was still far away, listening to the sound of Xiao Juncai groping through the door, she hurriedly packed up her emotions, "Are you back?" What are you doing today? ”
"Menglian, I've raised enough money to open a new store!" Xiao Juncai said happily.
It has been his long-standing dream to change to a better store, and Chen Menglian is also very happy for him, but she still has questions, "Where did you get so much money?" ”
"It's money borrowed from a brother." He said hesitantly: "Women's families, don't care so much. ”
"How? How much will I get out today? He changed the subject.
Chen Menglian knew that she couldn't hide it from him, so she told him, "There are a few guests who can't see me, and they don't consciously release money." He choked up as he spoke.
Xiao Juncai was very angry and slammed his fist on the table, "I know that bullying us is blind, bastard!" ”
She hurriedly dissuaded him, "It's okay, I already remember his voice anyway, just kick him out next time he comes." ”
Xiao Juncai was still angry: "When we change to a new store, we will specially invite someone to collect money!" ”
Chen Menglian smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, listen to you." ”
A year later, their new store officially opened in the city, although the store is not large, but it is in the city center, and the customer source is guaranteed.
The new store opened, the urban area did not allow firecrackers, so I had to buy a lot of flowers, the sound of crackling fireworks made up the atmosphere, before Xiao Juncai and their old customers came from the listing area of ten miles and eight towns to join in the fun.
"Congratulations!"
"Juncai is really capable, and he has only opened the store for a few years before changing to a big store."
"Menglian is also diligent, and Juncai is also very blessed to marry this good daughter-in-law......"
Zhang Menglian greeted the guests while directing the newly invited front desk, while dealing with the three aunts and six mothers-in-law in front of her.
There was a sudden sound of dispute not far away, Zhang Menglian's ear power was very good, and she could tell that one was Xiao Juncai's and the other was ...... Who is it?
It was a familiar voice, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
Zhang Menglian pushed aside the crowd and walked in that direction.
"It stands to reason that I'm the owner of this shop, so why don't you let me in? This is not in accordance with the rules, Xiao Juncai? The man's voice was very arrogant and vigorous, it sounded like an elderly middle-aged man, and the closer she got to Zhang Menglian, the more familiar she felt that this person's voice was very familiar.
"Moraine will find out." Xiao Juncai lowered his voice, and Chen Menglian couldn't hear what he was talking about.
"Talented?" She reached forward and touched it, but found that this person was not Xiao Juncai.
Xiao Juncai is relatively thin, and the person in front of him has broad shoulders and a wide body, which is two heads taller than her, giving people a sense of oppression.
Zhang Menglian chuckled in her heart, couldn't help her curiosity, and continued to grope her hand up.
The man was a little scared and avoided.
Zhang Menglian hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, this is our way of recognizing people, I'm sorry." ”
The man waved his hand and said it was okay.
Zhang Menglian smiled at him in a friendly way, and groped her way behind Xiao Juncai.
Forced to suppress her beating heart, because at the last moment, she felt a small sarcoma behind this person's ear, exactly like the man who insulted her before!
His voice and his body have long been carved out by long-term nightmares.
Zhang Menglian tried to calm down, her hand tightly grasped the corner of Xiao Juncai's clothes, and then squeezed out a smile and said to him, "Hello." ”
The man said, "Hello. Then she stretched out her hand and shook Zhang Menglian's hand, her hands were full of sweat. Presumably you are the talented daughter-in-law Menglian, right? I'm his friend Zhao Bin. ”
"When we meet for the first time, please take care of me, our family is usually troublesome for you to take care of." Friend? What is the relationship between him and Juncai? Are they just friends, so why worry about me finding out?
Zhang Menglian still couldn't bear it and asked, "What were you talking about just now?" ”
Without waiting for Zhao Bin to answer, Xiao Juncai hurriedly said, "It's okay, this is the brother I borrowed money from before" He stretched out his hand and pushed me aside, and said to Zhao Bin, "Zhao Bin, I will repay the money I borrowed from you as soon as possible, don't worry." ”
Zhao Bin didn't say anything, just laughed twice, but Zhang Menglian could hear the ill-will in the laughter.
Zhang Menglian was stunned for a moment, wondering if Xiao Juncai had discovered something? He obviously didn't want her to know that it should be something related to her, and it seemed that if he wanted to find out the truth, he still had to start with Zhao Bin.
Whether he was that person or not, no matter what the purpose of his coming here today, she had to figure it out.
"There's no rush for money." Zhao Bin waved his hand, "That's it, it's rare for a new store to open, sister-in-law Menglian, let me try your craft." ”
Saying that, Zhao Bin's hand reached out to Zhang Menglian and scratched her palm, as if hinting at something.
The anger in Zhang Menglian's heart suddenly rose, but because she was afraid, her hand couldn't restrain her physiological reaction and kept shaking, and her thumbnail was tightly pinched into the flesh of her index finger.
It's the same thing as inappropriately causing harm to others, right? Then I'll let you bear enough at once, and give you back all the damage I suffered, little by little!
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Menglian sorted out her mood, coughed lightly, and said, "Since you are a friend of Juncai...... Let's go upstairs to the VIP room......"
Zhao Bin sighed and went upstairs.
Zhang Menglian followed him, her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xiao Juncai called her suddenly, she turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Menglian turned her head in Xiao Juncai's direction, although they couldn't see each other, she felt his nervousness. What are you nervous about?
"What's wrong?" Zhang Menglian asked again.
Xiao Juncai thought for a moment, and then said, "It's okay." ”
