148 lure the wolf into the house
Just when Xie Mingzhu couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, thinking about things in his heart, he suddenly heard a knock at the door.
The voice was not loud, and he knocked softly.
Xie Mingzhu turned on the lamp at the head of the bed and got up to open the door.
Under the dim light, Huo Xuan's face was reflected.
"You can't sleep either?" Xie Mingzhu asked.
Huo Xuan nodded lightly.
"I always felt like something wasn't quite right."
Huo Xuan motioned to go inside and speak.
Xie Mingzhu stepped aside and let him into the room.
"I also think there's a hint of abruptness in the whole thing." Xie Mingzhu also said his thoughts, "It's as if such a play came out of nowhere." ”
It didn't give them any room to react.
Huo Zhi looked at her fixedly and didn't speak.
Xie Mingzhu frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”
Huo Xuan said in a calm voice: "Things didn't come out of nowhere. ”
Xie Mingzhu looked at him, waiting for his next step.
"There are traces of things." Huo Xuan continued, "Have you noticed that everything started with the appearance of the person downstairs? ”
Huo Xuan is talking about Wu Baozhen.
Xie Mingzhu had already had an idea for a long time, and when he heard Huo Xuan's words, his expression became even more solemn.
"But why? Is it because of Zhang Feiang's revenge? ”
Xie Mingzhu couldn't figure it out.
Zhang Feiang's details have already been investigated very clearly, and the three generations above are all workers and peasants.
His wife's family is not much different from his.
According to a family like theirs, it doesn't seem so easy to bring down Xie Shitong.
Especially the two hundred thousand.
Not everyone can get 200,000 now.
"It's impossible for Uncle Xie to accept bribes, and it's impossible for this money to appear at home for no reason!"
When he said this, the expression on Huo Xuan's face was a hint of incomprehensibility.
Yes, they know Xie Shitong's character, what he hates most is the person who embezzles and accepts bribes, he will not become such a person.
However, it is also impossible for this money to appear at home out of thin air.
The family is full of brains, and usually they don't even dare to accept the things sent by their neighbors, let alone so much money?
The only person in the family who can collect this money is Wu Baozhen.
It's just that Xie Mingzhu can't understand what purpose Wu Baozhen is doing this?
Or rather, who instructed her to do this?
Huo Xuan looked at her and guessed, "It may be Uncle Xie's hostile ......"
He was halfway through his sentence when his ears moved slightly, and then he listened with his ears sideways.
Xie Mingzhu asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Huo Xuan raised his index finger and put it to his lips, "shhh
The room was plunged into darkness in an instant.
In the dark, people's light sensitivity is magnified a lot.
Xie Mingzhu soon heard the movement coming from downstairs.
She subconsciously looked back at Huo Xuan.
It's just that his face can't be seen clearly in the dark.
Huo Xuan didn't say anything, just reached over, took her hand accurately in the dark, and led her out of the room and downstairs.
Xie Mingzhu also seemed to understand something, didn't ask a word, and followed Huo Xuan below.
Neither of them made a sound, and walked quietly the whole time.
As soon as he arrived at the staircase, Xie Mingzhu understood.
Looking at Wu Baozhen, who was tiptoeing to go out with her child in her arms and her luggage in the yard, how could she not know what was going on?
Xie Mingzhu stretched out his hand and pulled the switch line in the corridor on the side, and the light turned on instantly.
Wu Baozhen in the courtyard paused, and her body froze.
She didn't dare to look back, so she just stood still.
Xie Mingzhu came to her with a look of indifference: "Baozhen, it's so late, where are you going?" ”
Wu Baozhen didn't dare to speak, didn't dare to look back at her.
"Wu Baozhen, I asked myself if I was worthy of you, why did you treat me like this?"
Xie Mingzhu's voice became more and more indifferent.
Hearing her say this, Wu Baozhen finally cried.
She knelt on the ground as if she was weak, turned her head to look at Xie Mingzhu, and cried: "I don't want to either, I just want to make more money to treat the eldest girl, and I don't know if things will turn out like this!" ”
Xie Mingzhu looked at her coldly.
The movement on their side quickly attracted everyone.
Originally, everyone was hiding things in their hearts, and they didn't sleep much, but they woke up when they heard the slightest movement.
Seeing Wu Baozhen kneeling in front of Xie Mingzhu, she cried bitterly and looked puzzled.
"Mingzhu, what's wrong?"
Gao Siyu came down from the upstairs in her clothes.
Xie Mingzhu didn't look at her, and kept staring at Wu Baozhen who was kneeling on the ground: "I have eyes without beads, lure the wolf into the room, and bring a white-eyed wolf home!" ”
As soon as everyone heard her words, they all looked at Wu Baozhen in an instant.
Looking at her packed luggage, and then connecting with what happened during the day today, it seems to understand.
"Baozhen, why are you doing this?" Gao Siyu's brows furrowed tightly, and an angry look appeared on his face, "Is our family sorry for you?" ”
"Your girl treats the disease, Mingzhu contributes money and effort, you have no place to live, Mingzhu specially left you a job of eating and lodging, how are we to you during this period of time, you touch your conscience and ask yourself! Where are we sorry for you, and you are going to do this to us? ”
Hearing Gao Siyu's words, Xie Mingzhu's eyes were also a little red.
The impression of Wu Baozhen is a little girl who loves to have a red face, her nature is simple, and when Xie Mingzhu was in the countryside in the past, she accepted her help.
Why is this happening now?
"Who told you to do this? Who gave you all this money? Xie Mingzhu asked in a cold voice.
Wu Baozhen only shook his head and didn't say a word.
Xie Mingzhu stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the placket of her clothes, and asked word by word, "Who instructed you to do this?" ”
The son Wu Baozhen was holding in his hand cried, and the sharp voice made people's eardrums hurt.
Xie Mingzhu's sharp gaze shot straight at him, and he roared directly: "Shut up!" ”
The little son has always greeted Xie Mingzhu with a smile and treated him very well, and he has never seen her so hideous, and he was suddenly so frightened that he didn't dare to cry anymore.
Xie Mingzhu stretched out his hand and directly pulled the child out of Wu Baozhen's arms.
Wu Baozhen exclaimed, and reached out to snatch his child.
Xie Mingzhu turned around and stuffed the child into Huo Xuan's arms.
When he turned to look at Wu Baozhen again, his face was also gloomy to the freezing point: "Wu Baozhen, my patience is limited, if you don't say it again, I don't guarantee that I will do anything!" ”
Wu Baozhen's attack on her family has touched her bottom line.
