Chapter 41 Gathering Information
Suddenly, I heard a woman talking to Wu Xiaofeng as if she was standing downstairs where she couldn't see it, and then she knew that it was Gong Yawen.
After going out from Gong Xuefen's rented house, she did not leave, but waited for the hidden dark place like a rabbit, and finally caught the "rabbit".
The content of her conversation was roughly that Gong Yawen complained that Wu Xiaofeng had not returned to the house in Kapok Village for a long time, whether she avoided her from building a love nest with other women outside, so she couldn't think about it.
Wu Xiaofeng wrapped his hand around and flatly denied it, and asked Gong Yawen to see if there were other women sitting in the car, so as to prove his innocence.
He explained that he didn't go back to his hometown these days because he was too busy with work, and asked Gong Yawen not to guess. also said to Gong Yawen, you can live with me in the suite on the third floor tonight!
Hmph, you do a good deed, send me back! I only said that I went out for dinner, and I didn't tell your mother that I was spending the night outside.
Gong Xuefen saw Gong Yawen's shadow move closer to Wu Xiaofeng on the balcony, and accentuated her tone, If I don't go back to Kapok Village, your mother will die in a hurry, and the child will have to feed at night!
Then let's go back to Kapok Village together, so as not to worry about my mother at home.
Gong Xuefen heard Wu Xiaofeng say this, and saw Gong Yawen and her husband get into the car together, and then the car started, turned around, and when the horn sounded, the car slowly drove out of the front of the building and galloped towards the town street shrouded in night.
One morning a few days later, Gong Yawen was sitting in front of the door breastfeeding the child, and when she saw Xue Mu driving a walk-behind tractor from the field, she remembered something and immediately asked Xue Mu to stop.
She walked over with the chubby child in her arms, and was about to speak, when the smell of smoke from the car made her cough lightly, and she quickly stretched out her palm to cover the child's nostrils, for fear that he would also choke.
Xue Mu looked at her and smiled funny, and said, It doesn't matter, I don't know how much smoke smells every day, it's okay.
Gong Yawen ignored this and went straight to the point, Xue Mu, are you going to town? Bring me 20 dollars of pork.
As she spoke, she grabbed the child in her arms with one hand and took out the wallet with the other.
Xue Mu smiled and said, No, let your husband give me a Chinese brand cigarette to smoke.
Next time, I will definitely ask him to give you Chinese brand cigarettes, not one, but a box. Gong Yawen took out the money and was about to hand it to him.
Xue Mu shook his head and said, just kidding, who wants your cigarettes? Do you know? A box of Zhonghua brand cigarettes costs 70 yuan, and I can buy four or five catties of pork, so wouldn't it be a loss to give me such expensive cigarettes? But your husband is very generous, the last time I met Si Gui, he said that your husband gave him a Chinese brand cigarette! It's worth a lot of money.
Gong Yawen was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought: Why did Wu Xiaofeng give him such expensive cigarettes? But now is not the time to talk about this, Gong Yawen came to try to stuff the money into his hands, but found that his hands were particularly rough, like bark tree poles.
She didn't want to touch her own white and delicate hand, so she put it on the empty seat next to the driver's seat in front of the tractor and said, "I will thank you if you bring me 20 yuan of pork back."
Xue Mu didn't pick up the money, but only said Sister-in-law Gong, I won't go to Kapok Town, I only go to the quarry in the neighboring village to haul lime, you can take the money back! I'm not responsible.
Why didn't you say it earlier? Gong Yawen stretched out his hand to pick up the ticket that cost 20 yuan, and said complainingly.
Xue Mu drove the tractor and looked at her with a funny smile, and I didn't say it too late.
Gong Yawen went back to the house and handed over the child to Ma's to take with her, she dressed up a little, and went out to Kapok Town.
In Kapok Town, Gong Xuefen buys fresh vegetables from vegetable farmers every morning and puts them on the vegetable stalls in the market waiting for customers to buy.
On this day, she was bargaining with a customer to sell a cabbage when she heard someone call her, it was a female voice who was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
was looking around at the bustling crowd with his eyes wide open, and suddenly found Gong Yawen appearing in front of him, still carrying a knife of peeled fresh pork in his hand, with a smile on his face and said, Business is good?
Gong Xuefen said, yes.
immediately exchanged a few words with her, picked up a handful of sauerkraut and stuffed it into Gong Yawen's hand, and said politely, landlord, this is for you, you don't have to pay.
Gong Yawen feels that sending sauerkraut is like giving vinegar to a woman who is jealous and tossed, which will touch the sourness in her heart.
Now, her husband rarely comes home, and she suspects that her husband is cheating on her outside woman, although there is no evidence, but it is a feeling that makes her invisibly sour, and only that, she thinks that although this sauerkraut is given to her for free, it is not a good thing.
In this way, she insisted on not wanting it, and pushed the sauerkraut to Gong Xuefen's vegetable case, but she still had a gratitude to her, saying that she didn't want sauerkraut, weigh your white radish into two, and I will give money.
Gong Xuefen immediately grabbed two large white radishes and put them into a black soft film bag, carried them to her, and said, "Don't give money, I'll give it to you."
If you don't want money, I don't want turnips. Gong Yawen took out his wallet and said while taking out the money.
Seeing that she was serious, Gong Xuefen weighed the radish and calculated the price. When she paid according to the price, she deliberately stuffed an extra 10 yuan, Gong Xuefen looked at her and said, "I don't want a penny more."
Gong Yawen approached her affectionately and whispered, I ask you something, even if you help.
Gong Xuefen stuffed the 10 yuan back into Gong Yawen's wallet that she hadn't put back yet, and she knew what she was going to ask, so she said, was it the matter entrusted that night?
Gong Yawen kept nodding and asked her if she had noticed any movements?
Gong Xuefen was stunned for a moment, rolled her eyes, and said mysteriously, I found it, but it's hard to talk about it now!
When will you tell me? Gong Yawen couldn't wait to immediately grab the handle of her husband's affair with a wild woman, stared at her and asked.
Gong Xuefen said, let me finish selling a bunch of vegetables.
Gong Yawen saw that her pile of vegetables was not too much, so she said, sell all these dishes to me.
Gong Xuefen replied embarrassedly, how can it be done?
You weigh these dishes and count them as money, and I'll buy them all. Gong Yawen took out the wallet back in his pocket, looking very excited.
No, no. Gong Xuefen gestured as she spoke, and then walked to the neighboring stall to greet the stall owner, please help me take a look, I'll come to the toilet.
Gong Xuefen walked out of the stall and didn't go to the toilet, but took Gong Yawen out of the gate of the bazaar, stood still under a relatively quiet camphor tree, looked at Gong Yawen and said, are you asking about that?
Of course. Gong Yawen nodded, anxious to listen to her situation, so that she could settle accounts with her husband, and if her husband didn't buy it, she would go and tell her uncle who was the head of the construction bureau to restrain him and see if he was still inspecting and disproper.
When she thought about it more and more complicated, Gong Xuefen told what she knew: That night, not long after you went out of my rented house, I happened to hear the horn of the car, walked to the balcony and looked down, and found that it was your man Mr. Wu who drove downstairs, there happened to be a woman downstairs, I didn't see the face clearly, Mr. Wu took her into the car and drove away, as for where it went, I don't know clearly.
Gong Yawen asked her with a smile, who is that woman, you really didn't see it clearly?
Well. The key is that the headlights are off, and when the headlights are on, the woman's face seems to have deliberately avoided the luster of the headlights, so I didn't see it clearly, but it is true that there is a woman of similar stature to you who got into Mr. Wu's car, and it is not a lie to you at all.
After Gong Xuefen finished talking about what she saw that night, she deliberately told Gong Yawen, even if you quarrel with your husband, don't say that I saw him fooling around with a wild woman.
Hearing this, Gong Yawen was very disappointed, a strange expression appeared on her face, she shook her head a few times, and said to Gong Xuefen, I know too well what you said.
Is it? Gong Xuefen pretended to be surprised and looked at her.
Gong Yawen patted the camphor tree pole lightly and said, Because the so-called wild woman you said that night was picked up by Mr. Wu in a car is none other than me. After I came out of your rental house and went downstairs, I didn't leave, and I waited for a long time before I saw my husband, Mr. Wu, driving here......
Oh! That is true. Gong Xuefen pretended to have a sudden realization, and then said along the water, Then I haven't found any other situation about your husband, that is, I have never seen him with other women.
Gong Xuefen entrusted Gong Yawen to secretly spy on her man and did something for her to do something to her, and she was a little happy, and immediately said goodbye and went back to the vegetable stall.
Gong Yawen was carrying a knife of fresh meat, although it was light enough, but after holding it for a long time, he still felt heavy, just like the mood at the moment.
After listening to what Gong Xuefen said, she was a little relieved - her husband was not with other women after all.
is also a little puzzled - is what Gong Xuefen said credible?
is still a little disappointed - her husband hasn't been back to Kapok Village to accompany her for several days, is it really as busy as he said he is at work?
