Chapter 219: Coming Home Late
She didn't really jump into the river again, which made Zou Hongjie's nervous mood calm down again. Zou Hongjie "lame" Hangzhou dialect into Chinese and asked her why she was looking for a short view. She didn't answer immediately, but stood up, wet, walked a few steps forward, took a hanging handbag from a willow tree by the river, and still cried and said to Zou Hongjie, who was standing in front of her, I can't go home, I just want to die, you shouldn't save me.
What are you talking about? I should save you. Tell me, why are you doing that? Zou Hongjie stared at her and asked.
The woman still did not answer, but she reached out and opened her handbag, pointed to the three turns of banknotes inside, and wept sadly and spoke.
Zou Hongjie roughly understood, the woman meant that her family sold a few pigs to the slaughterhouse, and the cashier gave her counterfeit money at the checkout, and after finding it, she went to find it again, but the cashier did not admit it, if these counterfeit coins could not be exchanged for real money, her in-laws would complain about her, and she would encourage her son, her husband, to divorce her. The woman couldn't think about it for a while, so she couldn't think about it for a while.
At this moment, some onlookers came one after another to watch the excitement. The street lamps on the riverbank exude a faint luster, but the figure of the person is projected on the ground but it is thick.
Zou Hong deleted and said, it's not worth jumping into the river for this little thing. It doesn't matter, you give me these counterfeit money, and I'll exchange it for real money.
The woman looked at her with wide eyes, as if she didn't quite believe it. She reached out and touched the counterfeit money in her handbag, and said word by word, I don't know you, how can I harm you? Then he pulled the chain in his handbag. Zou Hongjie smiled slightly and said, I am voluntary, do you also mean that you hurt me? You come with me into the city, and I'll call a car to take you home.
The woman saw that Zou Hongjie was very sincere, and it didn't look like she was telling a lie, so she believed him. After entering the city, Zou Hong went to a clothing store to buy a new blue casual dress for the woman to change into, went out of the store, asked the woman about the number of counterfeit money in her handbag, and then opened her blue leather satchel, took out 3760 yuan and handed it to her, the woman really took out the fake money in her handbag and handed it to Zou Hong, but he didn't want it.
She then hailed a taxi from the side of the road to take her back to the town, where she had her own grocery store. When getting into the taxi, the woman looked at Zou Hongjie and said, benefactor, what's your name? Where to stay? Zou Hong didn't say anything, just smiled slightly. The woman continued to ask, and he just said a word, if there is anything going on in the past two days, you can go to the jewelry chain store in the city to find me.
That woman was Pei Yan, and it was already a standard night when she drove back to the town, except that the street with street lights was like daylight, not the street was dark and mushy.
If Pei Yan went back to the village directly during the day, and now she only got to go to the grocery store opened by her family, she actually didn't want to go in her heart, because she was in charge of this shop not long ago, because she sold the goods and gave the wrong money to the customer, her father-in-law found that he was very annoyed, so he asked his son, Pei Yan's husband Hong Fafu, to replace her, and didn't even let her do it as a helper, and hired another guy in the grocery store to be a helper.
In this way, Pei Yan's self-esteem was hurt and her self-confidence was also frustrated, so she was particularly reluctant to go to the grocery store, as if she was bitten by that thing, and she had the fear of being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of the well rope for ten years.
Right now, she walked in the direction of the grocery store in front of her, which forced her to look at the phase, and she had a feeling of helplessness. As soon as she approached the grocery store, a guy was closing the door, and she hurriedly shouted, "Oh, don't close the door."
It's so late, I want to buy something, come tomorrow! The guy didn't know Pei Yan at all, so he coldly threw out a sentence and continued to close the door of the store.
Pei Yan knocked on the door in the past, still shouting in her mouth, open the door quickly, open the door quickly, I am Pei Yan......
Pei Yan heard Hong Fafu's voice inside - Xiao Yang, open the door.
As the door of the store opened, Hong Fafu, who was standing inside, greeted Pei Yan, who stepped into the store door, and said, why did you come to the store so late, is there anything wrong?
One sentence is not clear. I'll tell you later. Pei Yan put together her hair that was about to dry and undried, and spoke like a seller.
Hong Fafu said "um", and pointed his finger Pei Yan to introduce to the guy, Xiao Yang, she is in my house (that is, my wife).
The guy glanced at Pei Yan and said in an apologetic tone, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Boss Hong's wife. As he spoke, he closed the door of the shop that had been opened.
Hong Fafu said, there is no need to close, let us go and close again. The guy let out an "ahh It is expected that their husband and wife are leaving, because there is only one house behind the grocery store, and two shops are built, and he and Hong Fafu usually live separately, but now, his wife is here, hindering him, an outsider, and it is difficult to rest.
Hong Fafu took out a flashlight in the shop, turned on the pillar of light, and shone it up and down on a set of new blue casual clothes worn by Pei Yan, saying You bought new clothes today?
Pei Yan smiled at him and said I didn't buy it. Hong Fafu was surprised, he used to accompany her to buy clothes, so he asked puzzledly, so who bought it for you?
Pei Yan didn't answer, only opened the bulging handbag she was carrying, and pointed to the soaked clothes wrapped in a plastic bag for Hong Fafu to see. Before Hong Fafu understood, she explained that my clothes were wet and I couldn't wear them. Hong Fafu didn't understand it even more, saying that wet clothes can't be worn, they should be washed at home, how to stuff them in the bag? Where have you been today? Pei Yan still said the same thing, I'll tell you later.
When the guy heard this, he felt that she was in the way of her presence, so he said to Hong Fafu with interest, Boss Hong, I will go out of the store and walk on the street for a while, you and Mrs. sit down and have a good talk!
Hong Fafu stopped, you can't go, you have to watch the store, let's go out immediately. As Hong Fafu and his wife walked out of the store, on the village road back, Pei Yan told Hong Fafu a series of things that happened to him today.
This is due to his suspicion, thinking that the strange man who helped his wife is likely to have something unspeakable, and of course the wife will not speak, she can only say what she can say.
With this mentality, Hong Fafu was very cold to his wife, so that when he returned home, his wife asked him to accompany him to hand over the 3,760 yuan to his father-in-law, but he refused.
Pei Yan had to take out the wet clothes in her handbag and put them in the footbasin, and went to the side where her in-laws lived alone, but her father-in-law was not at home, and her mother-in-law said to Pei Yan, your father saw that you didn't come back very late, and asked the driver to drive him to the county town to find you, and he hasn't returned yet. Why didn't you meet him?
Mother! I went to the county town for a while, but I didn't find anyone and left, how could my father meet me?
When Pei Yan said this, she opened her handbag and took out a large amount of money from it, handed it to her mother-in-law and said, Mom, this is real money, 3,760 yuan, not a single point, give it to you to count, and let Dad give it to him when he comes back. The mother-in-law didn't take the money, suspecting that it was fake money again, and only said that she couldn't tell whether it was real or fake, or wait for your father to come back, and then you will hand it over to him yourself!
