Chapter 235: The Rogue Family
Seeing Ji Yuanhai standing up, Feng Xue and Lu Heling also looked over together, and when they also saw Xiao Hongyi, they couldn't help but stand up.
The three of them stood up at the same time, and they were immediately seen by Xiao Hongyi, who walked quickly with joy on her face: "I finally found you!" ”
Ji Yuanhai saw that her expression was not particularly eager, so he beckoned her to sit down and talk together.
"Sister Red, why are you here?"
"Liu Xianglan made a call to Qiwuxuan this morning, saying that it was the hooligan who stopped her and Liu Shilian before, and she saw it again on the way to work today, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if Lu Ye's side began to brew some conspiracy again." Xiao Hongyi said, "Liu Xianglan is worried that something is wrong, so let me come over and talk to you." ”
Ji Yuanhai nodded after hearing this.
Liu Xianglan's reaction is also normal, after all, if she waits for Saturday to tell Ji Yuanhai again, maybe something will happen, and the response will not be timely.
"What else did she say?" Ji Yuanhai asked again.
Xiao Hongyi said: "She didn't say anything else, she just said that the one she met today was the one who led the way last time." ”
Ji Yuanhai nodded: "I know him, I'll take a leave of absence to ask him about the situation in the afternoon." ”
The leading hooligan is called Shan Xiaowei, and he belongs to the same big family surnamed Shan as the original shopkeeper of Bird and Flower Street, and they both live in Xiaoshan Hutong.
Ji Yuanhai wants to go to him, just go to Xiaoshan Hutong and inquire.
Xiao Hongyi, Feng Xue, and Lu Heling were all taken aback: "Go alone?" ”
"Will it be dangerous?"
Ji Yuanhai said with a smile: "You forgot, they said last time that they wanted to investigate who was behind the tricks, and they were quite indignant about the Hollywood clothing mall." ”
"Don't worry, they can't make a fuss."
asked Xiao Hongyi again: "Sister Hongyi, have you eaten?" ”
"I came in a hurry, but I didn't eat." Xiao Hongyi said quite truthfully.
Ji Yuanhai got up and fed her food, and asked her to go back and call Liu Xianglan to explain the situation; If everything is normal, after Ji Yuanhai meets with Shan Xiaowei in the afternoon, he will go to Qiwuxuan to call Liu Xianglan again to tell him about the situation.
"Well, okay, I got it." Xiao Hongyi wiped his mouth after lunch, and turned to leave.
Ji Yuanhai asked Feng Xue to ask for leave for him, and walked out of the provincial university to Xiaoshan Hutong.
About an hour later, Ji Yuanhai arrived at the entrance of Xiaoshan Hutong, and an old lady who was walking crookedly happened to walk out slowly.
Ji Yuanhai took a step forward: "Grandma, can I ask you one thing?" Who is Shan Xiaowei? ”
The old lady squinted at him: "Who?" ”
"Shan Xiaowei, are you living here in Xiaoshan Hutong?" Ji Yuanhai asked again.
"What do you say?" The old lady asked, squinting her eyes and ears sideways.
"I said Shan Xiaowei......" Ji Yuanhai repeated, and then looked at the old lady's eyes with disdain and disgust, and immediately smiled: "Grandma, don't tease me...... You've got good ears, I can see that. ”
The old grandmother pouted: "Fish looking for fish, shrimp looking for shrimp......"
"Don't scold, I'm looking for him to do business!" Ji Yuanhai hurriedly interrupted the old grandmother's words, so as not to be scolded for no reason.
"Business? What can this king son of the king do? ”
The old woman pursed her lips disdainfully, then tilted herself and continued walking.
Ji Yuanhai thought that she might not take care of herself anymore, but she didn't expect the old grandmother to tilt her head again after taking two steps: "Just go from here to the end!" ”
Ji Yuanhai nodded, thanked him, and then asked, "Grandma, the mountain expert is also here, right?" Did he go south to do business and come back? ”
The old woman who was leaning over looked at him vigilantly: "What are you asking about this?" ”
When she heard that Ji Yuanhai was looking for Shan Xiaowei, she felt that this might not be a good person, and when she heard Ji Yuanhai inquire about Shanxing, she immediately suspected that he was uneasy and kind.
Ji Yuan Haixin said that this old woman is really shrewd.
"I'm doing business on the side of Bird and Flower Street, and I used to be neighbors with Brother Shanxingshan, but then he went to the south for business, and we had less contact.
Ji Yuanhai said: "If you don't believe it, wait until you meet Brother Shan, ask him if he knows the surname Ji of Bird and Flower Street, and you will know when the time comes." ”
The old grandmother listened to what he said to be the truth, not like a lie, so she believed half of it.
"Shanxing, I came back a few days ago, made a fuss at home, and left again."
Ji Yuanhai was puzzled: "Didn't he make a lot of money?" Why do you still make trouble when you go home? ”
"He's a bastard, too!" The old grandmother leaned over and scolded, "I met a goblin in the south, and told my daughter-in-law that I would either recognize it and live together, or divorce." His daughter-in-law couldn't bear this breath, and the family made a fuss, as if they were going to divorce, and then the kid left Shanxing. ”
Ji Yuanhai listened, this was in line with what Shan Xiaowei had said.
Shan Xiaowei was envious of Shanxing for getting a beautiful woman in the south, but now Shanxing's house is restless, or because of this beautiful woman.
Shanxing is quite thoughtful, relying on his own money, and wants to force the original partner to admit the status quo, that is, he wants to have a wife and a concubine.
After thanking the old grandmother, Ji Yuanhai walked from the mouth of the alley to the end of the alley and knocked on a dilapidated wooden door.
"Knock knock, knock what! I also know how to go home for dinner! ”
A middle-aged woman impatiently opened the door, shouted at Ji Yuanhai, and then was stunned: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Hello, I'm looking for Shan Xiaowei." Ji Yuanhai smiled, "Is he at home?" ”
"Not here!" The middle-aged woman was a little annoyed, looking at Ji Yuanhai's appearance, she didn't feel like a ruffian, and finally her tone was a little relaxed: "You have something to do with him?" ”
"Well, there's something I want to ask him." Ji Yuanhai said.
"It's not a street mess, is it?" The middle-aged woman asked.
"Of course not."
"He doesn't owe you any money, does he?" The middle-aged woman asked again.
"Not either." Ji Yuanhai said, "I work in the Hollywood clothing mall, I don't mess around on the streets, I want to ask him something." ”
When the middle-aged woman heard that Ji Yuanhai was working in a Hollywood clothing mall, she immediately let down her guard and said embarrassedly: "You come in and sit and wait for him, he should come back at two o'clock in the afternoon......"
Ji Yuanhai followed her into the house, and heard a dull and violent coughing sound in the house.
The room was dimly lit and the furniture was shabby.
A little girl of about ten years old was slowly patting a middle-aged man who was coughing violently on the back, and when she saw the middle-aged woman leading Ji Yuanhai in, one of them coughed, and the other was busy patting her back and didn't have time to pay attention.
The green paint had fallen, and on the mottled and old table were notched bowls with pickles inside, and a few heterozygous noodles in small bamboo baskets on the side.
The middle-aged woman said: "I'm really sorry, the child is not angry, and there have been no decent guests at home...... You will sit down. ”
He said to the coughing middle-aged man: "This young comrade is looking for Xiaowei, and he works in a Hollywood clothing mall and has a serious job. ”
"Good...... Good ......"
The middle-aged man said two words, and there was another heart-rending cough.
The middle-aged woman sighed, took the place of the little girl, and patted the middle-aged man on the back.
He said to the little girl: "Xiaojuan, you hurry up and eat, you have to go to school in the afternoon." ”
Xiao Juan nodded, glanced at Ji Yuanhai, sat silently in front of the lacquered table, and began to eat Wotou pickles.
Ji Yuanhai watched this scene and had a new understanding of Shan Xiaowei. It seems that being a rogue little boss does not improve his family in any way......
"You...... Have you eaten it? ”
Ji Yuanhai was looking at the environment when he suddenly heard a thin voice in his ear and looked down in surprise.
I saw that Shan Xiaojuan was looking at herself, and pushed the head of the heterozygous noodle in her direction, obviously to entertain the guests.
Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but smile when he looked at this little girl's extremely well-behaved and sensible appearance.
"Thank you, I've eaten it."
"Oh." The little girl stopped talking and ate with her head down.
The middle-aged man finally stopped coughing, and he was panting tiredly, as if with a feeling of the aftermath of his life.
After a while, he asked, "Comrade, what do you call it?" ”
"Just call me Xiao Ji." Ji Yuanhai replied.
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Ji, what are you looking for Xiao Wei?" ”
Ji Yuanhai replied: "Shan Xiaowei met me once in July before and talked to me about the Hollywood clothing mall, and the two of us were quite speculative and made friends at that time. ”
"I also happened to be off duty today, and when I thought of him, I came to talk to him."
"Closed today?" Shan Xiaowei's father was a little puzzled, no year, no festival and no weekend, what class to take?
Ji Yuanhai explained: "There is a system in the Holilai clothing mall, and when it is time to rest, it will definitely rest, and there is a time every month when you don't need to ask for leave without deducting your salary. ”
"I'll just ask for leave and get my salary."
When Shan Xiaowei's parents heard this, they couldn't help but exclaim: "I have long heard that the Hollywood clothing mall is first-class, and the salary is better than that of state-owned units." ”
"In other words, this salary is good!"
"Xiao Ji, how much salary can you get a month?"
Ji Yuanhai replied, "I can take a hundred yuan." ”
"A hundred dollars!" Shan Xiaowei's parents were amazed again.
The conversation box is opened, and it is much easier to speak casually.
After a while, Shan Xiaojuan finished eating, drank a bowl of boiled water, said "I went to school", and walked out.
Ji Yuanhai felt that this little girl was very sensible, and he had entertained himself to eat the nest just now, so he smiled at her.
Shan Xiaojuan whispered to him: "I'll pour you a bowl of hot water......
Poured a bowl of hot water for Ji Yuanhai, then walked out of the house and went to school.
Ji Yuanhai said thank you, and praised Shan Xiaowei's parents: "This kid is really clever. ”
Seeing this, Shan Xiaowei's parents smiled at Ji Yuanhai and said: "The eldest child is not angry, and the younger child is not sensible, but it makes you laugh." ”
"Shan Xiaowei, I feel okay, it's not too bad." Ji Yuanhai smiled and said, "This little girl is really good, how smart and clever. ”
"No matter how smart you are, what's the use, it's the water that will be spilled out in the future!" Shan Xiaowei's mother said sullenly, "Whether the family can live a life depends on the man." ”
Ji Yuanhai saw that she still had a bit of patriarchal thinking, she had such a good girl, and she pinned her hopes on her unsuccessful son, so she didn't want to say more.
Shan Xiaowei's mother cleaned up the pickles and wotou, and Ji Yuanhai put down the water bowl and chatted a few more words.
Shan Xiaowei's father is tuberculosis, and the family has no source of money and no money to see a doctor, so it is better to die than to live.
Before I knew it, a few more moments later, there was a creaking sound at the door.
Then Shan Xiaowei's voice came: "Yo, it's not closed today......"
The middle-aged man's face flushed and coughed violently.
The middle-aged woman also looked at Ji Yuanhai: "Xiaowei is here, what is the matter with you, let's talk about it." ”
While he was talking, Shan Xiaowei had already entered the house.
Because of the dim light and because he only had a one-sided relationship with Ji Yuanhai, he didn't recognize Ji Yuanhai yet, so he just laughed: "Yo, you're a guest today?" ”
Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Shan Xiaowei, I'm here to find you." ”
Shan Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, looked at Ji Yuanhai carefully, and recognized it: "You are ...... That one! ”
"Well, I'm from Hollywood." Ji Yuanhai said, "Shan Xiaowei, let's have a good chat in another place, shall we?" ”
After Shan Xiaowei recognized Ji Yuanhai, he felt a faint pain in his body inexplicably.
It's really not his bad breed, this guy is really heavy, he beat all of them down at one time, less in bed for five or six days, and more directly for more than a month.
At this time, Ji Yuanhai came to his house, and of course Shan Xiaowei was shocked and angry.
He is no longer a thing, and it is impossible for him to remain indifferent to this threat.
However, what Ji Yuanhai said also happened to let him get off the donkey down the slope so that his parents would not worry too much, so Shan Xiaowei immediately said, "Well, okay, let's go out and talk." ”
The two of them walked out of Shan Xiaowei's house one after the other, and walked out of Xiaoshan Hutong, Shan Xiaowei immediately became anxious: "It's too much for you to do this, right?" ”
"Those who mix the rivers and lakes will not be able to cause trouble to their families, this is the morality of the rivers and lakes!"
Ji Yuanhai smiled and said, "Really? You're also a fool, why don't I know? ”
"Also, you said I did too much, don't you feel like you're doing too much?"
Shan Xiaowei was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
"You're going to stalk our people from the Hollylai clothing mall again today." Ji Yuanhai said, "Just because your words don't count, I can't believe you, right?" ”
Shan Xiaowei shook his head suddenly: "I didn't have it!" I really don't! ”
Then he thought about it, and suddenly said: "I know, you're talking about that woman, the one we blocked that time in July - I did meet her today, but I really didn't mean to follow her, I met, and I just happened to go the same way!" ”
"I'm not stalking her!"
Ji Yuanhai looked at him with a sneer: "Do you think I believe it or not?" ”
When Shan Xiaowei saw him, he came to ask about the crime because of this incident, and he was also bitter.
"I really don't, I really don't...... I...... By the way, I found out what happened in July, and it was Lu Ye who sent his subordinates to get along with the manager of Haolilai. ”
"We definitely can't wrestle with Lord Lu, and then we pretend not to know about this matter."
"You guys are so good that you can't even help Lord Lu, how dare I reach out for a small fish and shrimp? I don't dare to do this unless I'm tired of being crooked! ”
"Oh, that's it." Ji Yuanhai nodded, "Didn't Lord Lu instruct you this time?" ”
"No, ah, no, no one asked me to follow me at all!" Shan Xiaowei smiled bitterly, "Big brother, I am really wronged!" What Lu Ye asked me to do before, I didn't know that it was arranged by Lu Ye and his old man, and I was stupid to check, and I was dumbfounded when I found Lu Ye, and I thought about it carefully, and you Haolilai is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Lu Ye can't do anything about you. ”
"In this case, is it possible for me to offend you Hollywood?"
When Ji Yuanhai saw him say this, he was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and he also thought to himself: This really doesn't look like him.
Could it be that I misunderstood, what a coincidence?
Ji Yuanhai remained silent, did not speak harshly, but said: "So, I really misunderstood? ”
"Yes, big brother, you really misunderstood!" Shan Xiaowei said.
Ji Yuanhai nodded, and the topic changed: "What's going on at home?" You eat fragrant and spicy food outside, and your father and mother and little sister are nibbling on nest pickles at home? Your father is sick like this, and he won't go to the hospital for treatment? ”
"Huh?"
Shan Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, why are you so lenient, what is your business?
However, he was embarrassed to say that he had no conscience, and said half-truthfully: "I'm messing around outside, and they are the leader, so I have to look like one." ”
"Food, drink, and clothing cannot be worse than theirs, and you have to take care of them."
Ji Yuanhai sneered: "This is really interesting, your father and mother and little sister don't take care of outsiders?" Are you making brothers, or are you raising a group of dads? ”
This was too straightforward, Shan Xiaowei's face was flushed, and he glared angrily at Ji Yuanhai.
This is directly scolding him for being unfilial and taking care of his family, not a thing.
However, after glancing at Ji Yuanhai's gaze, Shan Xiaowei moved away again.
He really can't beat this guy.
Ji Yuanhai smiled and asked, "Shan Xiaowei, what else do you do besides helping people track and block people?" ”
Shan Xiaowei whispered: "Whatever can make money, do it." ”
"After making a little money with a bad conscience, you ate and drank it yourself, and then spoiled it with your brothers?" Ji Yuanhai asked.
"Also...... It's not all ......," Shan Xiaowei whispered without being arrogant.
As long as he takes care of the whole family, he has a better conscience, and he will not be bored by his family and despised by the neighbors.
"You're such a talent." Ji Yuanhai smiled and said, "Since you are seeking money, let's talk with money, how about it?" ”
Shan Xiaowei suddenly came to his senses: "You want to use me?" How much? ”
Ji Yuanhai held out a finger.
Shan Xiaowei was a little unhappy: "A big unity, ten yuan, a bit less." ”
"No, it's a hundred dollars." Ji Yuanhai said.
Shan Xiaowei was pleasantly surprised: "One hundred yuan!" It's true? ”
"Really." Ji Yuanhai nodded, "I can give you twenty yuan first." ”
Shan Xiaowei was even more surprised: Before he did anything, he could get twenty yuan!
"Say, what do you want me to do, I'll help you do it!"
