Chapter 172: One Glory and One Humiliation
Seeing that Xiao Hongmei's face was getting darker and darker, Peng Yuni frowned and said: "Sister Hongmei, Xiaohang's impact on this matter is too great, we really can't do anything, but don't worry, the Peng family will not watch your whole family fall into despair, and we will definitely provide some help in terms of living and economy." ”
Hearing her words, Xiao Hongmei smiled, her smile was very cold, and her voice was small but unusually clear: "Yuni, if people know that you cooperated with your mother-in-law's brothers and sisters to resell fabrics, and also took kickbacks from them, and the amount involved was not less than 130,000, what do you think will happen to you?" ”
"Whew!"
Peng Yuni jumped up violently, and the porridge in her hand was all spilled on the ground, and the enamel bowl smashed crisply.
"Sister Hongmei, do you know what you're talking nonsense?"
Peng Yuni was quite calm on the surface, but in fact, she was so panicked that her hands under her sleeves were clenched into fists.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know it in your own heart."
Looking at the obviously changed eyes of their mother and daughter, Xiao Hongmei sneered in her heart.
The words have been said here, which is equivalent to tearing her face, and she doesn't want to say more nonsense, her tone is very cold: "Cousin, Yuni, my son is my lifeline, he did something wrong because I didn't educate him well, and I didn't expect him to get out of this incident, my only wish is to save his life and suffer as little prison as possible." ”
"Cousin, Yuni, I know that the Peng family doesn't want to get involved in a commotion, I can understand, I don't want to cause trouble to you unless I have to."
"I think the Peng family has also investigated this incident, and they shouldn't have found out who really attacked the Meng family."
"The head of the Peng family is in Kyoto, and the second cousin-in-law is a high-ranking Beijing official, you should know the current situation better than me, now is the most severe moment of factional fighting, someone in Seoul suddenly made a move against the Meng family, do you think it is really the Meng family who has offended someone?"
Peng Yuni narrowed her eyes: "Sister Hongmei, what do you want to say?" ”
"What I want to say is that we are both glorious and humiliated, we are actually grasshoppers on a rope, the Meng family has fallen, maybe you are the next target."
Xiao Hongmei said very clearly, and seeing that they listened to it, she made her request again: "Yuni, as long as you take action to save Xiaohang's life and try to make him suffer less, I promise to bring what I said before into the coffin, and I will definitely not let you and the Xue family fall into the situation of the Meng family today." ”
She was a clear threat, Peng Yuni gritted her teeth in anger, and her face was colder than ever: "Sister Hongmei, you are so good." ”
"Yuni, don't blame me for not thinking about family affection, I am a mother, and everything I do is to keep my son." Xiao Hongmei finished speaking and left.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Peng cursed in a low voice: "It's a shame that we were so good to her before, and we are a white-eyed wolf." ”
After speaking, he whispered to his daughter: "Yuni, you too, you are so careless, the handle fell into her hands, and now you are being coerced in turn." ”
"Mom, she shouldn't have any evidence in her hand." Peng Yuni's face was particularly ugly.
"Evidence is a thing, as long as someone starts to investigate, it can be easily obtained."
Old Madam Peng was a little dissatisfied with her innocence, and pulled her face and said: "You don't know what Meng Xiaohang did, maybe they helped behind their backs, with the shrewdness of the two of them, will they destroy and dispose of the evidence in time?" ”
Peng Yuni understood what she meant, and hurriedly got up: "Mom, I'll go back and deal with this matter first." ”
"You discuss this matter with Hailin, after all, it also involves his third brother and his wife, he won't stay out of the matter, let him arrange someone to handle this Meng Xiaohang's matter better." Mrs. Peng gave her advice.
"Mom, I see."
Peng Yuni was still a little flustered just now, but now she calmed down, got up and got a broom, and swept the porridge on the ground before leaving.
She had just walked to the door and greeted Narcissus, who nodded briefly, and then went to work in the next room with the tools used for cupping.
Seeing Bai Shuixian's demure and beautiful face, Peng Yuni was instinctively jealous, but she didn't lose her sense of proportion and stepped forward to find fault for no reason, and hurriedly returned to the unit to find Xue Hailin with her bag.
At noon, Gong Linglong was about to go to the cafeteria to eat after work, and when he came out with a lunch box, he saw his mother outside.
"Mom, when did you come?"
"I arrived five minutes ago."
Bai Shuixian didn't knock on the door to disturb her work, and when she saw that she was going to eat with a lunch box, she said with a smile: "I just went to the post office to help an old leader collect a package, thinking that you should also get off work, come to your place to eat." ”
"Let's go, I'll take you to the cafeteria to eat."
Gong Linglong handed her the lunch box and lifted the heavy package on the ground, "Mom, this package is quite heavy, put it in my office first, and then come and get it after eating." ”
"Okay, the old leader's comrades-in-arms mailed him Northeast specialties, his comrades-in-arms are very enthusiastic and generous, every time he sends a big bag, he flashed his waist in the morning exercise two days ago, and I came over to help him get something."
After she put her things away, the mother and daughter walked together to eat in the canteen of the unit, and Bai Shuixian whispered to her on the road: "Linglong, Meng Xiaoying's mother went to the nursing home in the morning, and I heard from other colleagues that she often went to Xue Hailin's mother-in-law during this time, and wanted the Peng family to help save Meng Xiaohang." ”
"A few days ago, she left crying every time, and she didn't cry when she left today, not long after she left, Peng Yuni left in a hurry, and I suspect that the Peng family will maneuver around."
Gong Linglong raised his eyebrows slightly: "I didn't help before, but now I want to help, this matter is very strange." ”
"You can go back and talk to Jingchuan in the evening."
Bai Shuixian knew that Meng Xiaohang's arrest was done behind his son-in-law's back, and now that the Peng family wants to intervene, it is better to give his son-in-law a reminder.
Gong Linglong nodded in response, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he was actually looking forward to their intervention.
The food in the canteen of the government unit is not bad, and there are a lot of people who come here to eat, my mother came to eat for the first time, and there happened to be braised chicken today, Gong Linglong bought one for her, and also played two vegetarian dishes, and she also chose a meat and a vegetarian.
The two did not sit in the cafeteria to eat, but returned to the small warehouse behind the office building with the lunch box, and sat on the small bed at noon to eat.
There were no outsiders here, and Bai Shuixian whispered a good thing to her, "Linglong, the trial draft I translated last time passed, and the Translation Bureau mailed me a work permit and medical book, and the price of translation remuneration is quite high." ”
"How much?" Gong Linglong asked hurriedly.
"Three dollars for a thousand words." White Narcissus smiled slightly.
Gong Linglong: "... So high? ”
"In fact, when I was in college in the fifties and sixties, the remuneration for translating manuscripts was much higher than now, such as engineering and medical books, and the income for translating a book was as little as two or three thousand, and as much as six or seven thousand yuan. In recent years, the situation has been special, not to mention the interruption of translation, the price of remuneration for poetry and literary works has been reduced a lot, and three yuan per thousand words is already a high standard now. ”
