Chapter 10 The sky-high bride price
Just now, Gu Weitao's words had reached his lips and he swallowed them back.
He wanted to tell He Xiaoyu that he was originally a dragon, but he was forced to become a worm.
In fact, there is really a story between Gu Weitao and Zhao Yanni, four years of college, Qingqing and I are inseparable, and it can be regarded as academic success and fragrant love.
After graduation, they both chose the same small city and the same unit.
After her job stabilized, Zhao Yanni called her father and told her that she wanted to take Gu Weitao home.
The father bluntly said a showdown and put forward harsh conditions, the kid had to buy a three-bedroom house in the city, plus a bride price of 200,000 yuan.
Zhao Yanni said that the house should be bought, and it is not so big.
My father said that it is not good to be small, it is not only your house, but also our nest when we are old.
Speaking of the bride price, Zhao Yanni scolded her father and asked her father what is the difference between you and selling your daughter, and her father was right, saying that it is easy for me to raise you for more than 20 years? This is already the lowest price, otherwise what will I give your brother a daughter-in-law?
In a fit of anger, Zhao Yanni took leave and went home.
But when she returned to the unit, her whole person changed, and she became expressionless and silent.
Gu Weitao knew that she was wronged, patted his chest and said that he would definitely find a way to raise money and try to meet the conditions of the old man.
Zhao Yanni replied, let's talk about it when you have money, and turned around and gave him a cold back.
ignored him for a period of time, and was like a stranger.
Considering that he had just started work and had not disclosed their relationship in the unit before, when things came to this point, Gu Weitao lost more and more confidence.
A three-bedroom building, plus 200,000 yuan, is an astronomical amount for a peasant child from a remote mountainous area.
Thinking of his family background, Gu Weitao's heart was like a block of ice, cold and biting, and it was faintly painful.
When he was a freshman in high school, his father suffered from cancer, and in order to treat his father, he not only spent all the family's savings, but also owed nearly 100,000 yuan in debt, and finally failed to save his life.
He wanted to drop out of school several times and go out to work, but his mother stopped him, and his mother said that your father is gone, and if you have no more interest, I will have nothing.
Since then, the mother has become a female man, running the house, farming, and working on construction sites whenever she has time, not only paying off all the arrears, but also providing for her son to finish college.
I wanted to honor my mother after graduating and working, so that she could enjoy Qingfu, but the sky-high bride price made him breathless.
Gu Weitao came to the household registration department and explained his intention to the section chief on duty.
I don't know if the section chief was intentional or unintentional, he was directly assigned to Zhao Yanni's seat.
Zhao Yanni glanced up, didn't say much, and looked like she was completely businesslike, helping him retrieve Wu Fugui's household registration file and print it out.
Before leaving, Gu Weitao whispered, "Let's have a meal together in the evening?" ”
"No, you have to work overtime." After Zhao Yanni finished speaking, she turned back.
Gu Weitao's heart suddenly cooled half, and he had to walk away with interest.
On the way back to the police force, he wanted to cry, he wanted to shout, and he wanted to ask loudly why this was the case.
Why?
That's not knowingly asking, it's all forced by money.
When he returned to the police office, he saw that Team Du and He Xiaoyu were not there, so he poured a cup of cold white and went downstairs to take a taxi to the Fudu community.
After getting out of the car, he followed a grocery shopping aunt into the community and walked directly in the direction of Wu Fugui's house.
I had just rounded the central square when I suddenly heard a commotion.
ran over following the sound and saw He Xiaoyu confronting a middle-aged man in a property uniform.
The man was holding a wooden stick in his hand, waving it around, scolding, and looking very arrogant.
He Xiaoyu was fearless, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I can stand you, you have the ability to fight!" You dare to move your mother's fingers to try, you have to lie down and eat! ”
"Little girl, I can stand you, it's not for the sake of you being a woman, Lao Tzu will throw you directly into the dung pit!"
Du Heping squatted next to the sewage hole that had been opened, looking down and observing carefully.
"Shut your foul mouth!" Gu Weitao was already holding his stomach, but at this time, seeing the middle-aged man so arrogant, he became angry.
He pointed at the man and shouted, "Be honest with me!" Is this an obstacle to official business, do you know or not? ”
The middle-aged man sneered and sneered: "Don't scare the children with a big x, it has become an official business for the shell lang to pick up the dung pit?" ”
"If you dare to move her finger, Lao Tzu will arrest you!"
"Why are you arresting me?"
"Do you know the severity of the assault?"
"Who the attacked the police?"
"You clean up your mouth and try to scold again?"
"What did I do with you? Is it justified to destroy public property? The man raised the stick alof.
"Forget it...... Never mind. Du Heping stood up, clapped his hands and said to Gu Weitao, "Don't open your mouth and shut up to attack the police, people are also performing their duties." ”
Then he turned to face the middle-aged man and lied and explained: "Brother, that's the case, some owners have reported that there has been an abnormal smell in the sewer recently, so we came to take a look." ”
"What department are you from?"
"Oh, the environmental department."
"Then you should go to the property first to say hello, how can you move this casually? Do you know all the infrastructure? ”
"It's not like I'm in a hurry, so I didn't bother to say hello." Seeing that the man had calmed down, Du Heping asked him, "Do you often clean these sewage holes?" ”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said that there was a special outsourcing company in charge, regardless of their business.
Du Heping then asked: "Then do you know how often they clean up?" ”
"According to the regulations, it seems to be once every three months, and it may be delayed even longer if there is time."
Du Heping waved his hand and said, "You go and get busy, we'll seal it after we finish reading." ”
The middle-aged man didn't say anything, glared at Gu Weitao fiercely, and walked away with a wooden stick.
"Look at his bear-like appearance, he is simply a ruffian hooligan, why should such a person be polite to him and just put things down." After Gu Weitao finished speaking, he spat at the man's back.
"Gu Weitao, you kid is suitable to be a riot policeman." After Du Heping finished speaking, he walked back to the sewage hole, beckoned, and shouted, "You all come here, take a closer look, is there anything abnormal." ”
Gu Weitao walked to the mouth of the well and kept muttering: "I don't understand, we are handling a case, why bother sneaking?" It's not enough to show your identity directly. ”
"Fool, you don't even know how to startle snakes, do you?" Du Heping pointed to the bottom of the hole and questioned, "How can it be clean here?" Even the water is clear. ”
Gu Weitao said: "I just cleaned it." ”
"But the property manager just now said that it should be cleaned at least once every three months."
He Xiaoyu picked up a bamboo pole from the side of the fence, clenched one end, stabbed the other end to the bottom of the pit, and stirred it vigorously.
The water inside slowly became muddy, but there was no silt in sight.
After a moment's stirring, she straightened up and said, "Obviously, someone destroyed the evidence." ”
