In a clean and tidy office, several women of various sizes gathered at a desk and whispered. From time to time, a few words like Guanyin and Old Man would pop up, seemingly telling fairy tales.
Qin Jingru, who was also in the office, did not join them. The girl was sorting out her newly paid salary at this time, with a smile on her pretty face.
Because of Chu Heng's relationship, Li Fugui took good care of Qin Jingru, a girl who was suspected of being his nephew's daughter-in-law. Although he couldn't help much in terms of salary, all kinds of benefits were top-notch.
For example, today, she got two more industrial coupons, which can buy a lot more things. She has already thought about it. When she gets off work in a few days, she will go to the department store to buy a chemical comb for her plastic sister.
Ni, by the way, bought her lover a pair of big leather shoes to repay her life-saving grace.
Well, that makes sense!
Thinking of Chu Heng suddenly, the pent-up thoughts in Qin Jingru's heart suddenly surged, like a faucet that had been turned on and off, and it couldn't be stopped.
Counting the days, she hadn't studied for several days.
I don’t know what Brother Hengzi is doing, but he doesn’t even have time for important things like preaching and receiving karma.
Miss him~
The girl's eyes gradually became empty, and the red face dripping with sweat and breathing heavily appeared in her mind unconsciously.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and a short, fat woman with a mole on the corner of her mouth walked in while twisting her waist. She ignored the other women and went straight to the girl.
When she came to him, before she could catch her breath, the woman hurriedly shared the melon with her.
"Jingru, how can you still sit still? Something happened to your godfather! He said he stole national food and will be shot soon!"
"What?"
Qin Jingru's face suddenly turned pale. She didn't care if the money in her hand fell. She grabbed the woman's hand and asked hurriedly: "Sister Huang, what's going on?"
"I just heard someone say that today, the Discipline Inspection Officer from the Grain Bureau went to Sanliang Store, and soon after, your god-brother arrested him and said he was going to shoot him." The woman patted the girl's little hand and sighed.
He said: "Well, you'd better go and have a look. Maybe you can see the last time."
boom!
The woman's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the girl's forehead hard, as if her three souls and seven souls were scattered, and her eyes were spinning.
It also seemed that all the bones in his body had been smashed, and his whole body was spread out on the chair like a puddle of mud, with his cold hands and feet unable to lift him even half the strength.
Chu Heng was her sky, and now that the sky was about to fall, she felt that there was no life left in this world.
He sat there for a while.
"It's impossible, how could Brother Hengzi steal food? Impossible, impossible..."
Qin Jingru murmured, suddenly stood up again, ran out of the office like crazy, and went straight to the courtyard to find the deaf old lady.
At this moment, the only person she could think of who could save Chu Heng was the old lady.
The strong wind blew against her face, blurring her eyes, and tears seemed to burst from the dam.
She lost her shoes and broke her feet.
The sharp stabbing pains did not make her stop, but made her run faster!
The little girl is afraid that she will go back too late and miss the chance to save people...
"Hoo ho ho!"
More than ten minutes later, Qin Jingru, with a bare and bloody sole, ran back to the courtyard panting. She ignored the neighbors who looked at her in surprise and ran back home.
At this time, the deaf old lady was sitting next to Aunt Yi and chatting, and the little tiger girl was lying on the kang, sleeping soundly.
"bump!"
Qin Jingru suddenly opened the door and barged in.
Little Huniu was woken up and looked at the person coming down with half-open eyes. When she saw that it was the stingy old woman who had a granary and refused to put food for her, she turned over and went back to sleep.
The old lady and Aunt Yi were shocked when they saw Qin Jingru crying like a tearful person, with one sole of her foot still stained with blood.
"Jingru, you, you, you... what's wrong with you?" The deaf old lady stood up in a panic.
Aunt Yi, who was more agile than her, ran forward to support the girl and asked distressedly: "Is someone bullying you? Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
"Madam, please save Brother Hengzi quickly, he will be shot soon!" Qin Jingru broke away from Aunt Yi and came to the old lady crying.
"Ah?" The deaf old lady's eyes widened in astonishment. She didn't quite believe her ears and asked hurriedly: "What did you say? What happened to Xiao Hengzi?"
"They said Brother Hengzi had stolen food from the store and was going to be shot! Please find Grandpa Xie to save him!" Qin Jingru said hurriedly.
"Hey, you, how could this happen! How could little Hengzi steal food!" The deaf old lady felt like she was hearing a big joke.
"How come I didn't hear about it!" Aunt Yi, who had been standing there since the old lady had been there after dinner in the morning, was also stunned for a while. She hurriedly turned around and left the house, preparing to go to the front room to ask those well-informed old ladies.
The deaf old lady also calmed down at this time. After thinking about it, she raised her finger to the chest of drawers and said, "Quickly take out my little notebook. Let's call Little Scorpion right now!"
"Sigh." Qin Jingru turned around and ran to the chest of drawers, took out the yellowed notebook, and immediately returned to the old lady, squatting down and preparing to carry her away.
The old lady did not move, frowned and glanced at the soles of her feet, and said angrily: "You silly girl, how can you carry me with your feet like this? Go and change a pair of shoes."
"I'm fine, madam." Qin Jingru shook her head indifferently and said urgently: "Come up quickly, let's leave quickly."
"Listen to me and change your shoes quickly, or I won't go." The old lady felt sorry for her and was not willing to let her suffer this.
"oops!"
Qin Jingru stamped her feet anxiously, but did not insist anymore. She quickly found her shoes and put them on, then carried the old lady on her back and ran away.
As soon as they left the Moon Gate, Aunt Yi ran over to them after inquiring about the news, and said to the two of them with a heavy face: "I just asked, Hengzi has indeed been arrested. I don't know whether he will be shot."
"Aunt Yi, I'm going to take my wife to make a phone call. Please help me take a look at Huniu."
Qin Jingru became even more anxious after hearing this, and ran out quickly after giving instructions.
"Hey, what is this?" Aunt Yi sighed, turned around and went to the old lady's house. She also didn't believe that Chu Heng would do such a thing.
"It's time! Let that kid get shot!"
Widow Qin’s mother-in-law next to her was gloating about her misfortune. She still remembers how Chu Heng took revenge for not giving her grandson something delicious to eat!
Qin Jingru, carrying the old lady on her back, ran all the way and soon arrived at the phone booth at the corner of the street.
After saying hello to the old man who was looking at the phone, the old lady picked up the phone and dialed. After waiting for a short time, she was connected to Xie Lixuan's home.
"Which one?"
The person who answered the phone was Xie Ying, her voice was as gentle as ever, as light as a gentle breeze.
"Is that Xie Ying? I'm your Grandma Huang! Get your dad to answer the phone!" the deaf old lady shouted loudly.
"Oh, Grandma Huang, wait a minute and I'll call him." Xie Ying also heard that the old lady seemed to be in a hurry, so she quickly put down the phone and went to find Xie Lixuan in the study.
When the old man heard that his sister-in-law was in a hurry, he hurriedly dropped a piece of mutton-fat white jade in his hand. Without even looking at the shattered precious jade pendant, he quickly walked out of the study, picked up the phone and asked hurriedly: "Sister-in-law,
What's the matter with you?"
"Someone wants to shoot Xiao Hengzi. Please rescue him quickly. I'm pointing at him to carry the funeral flag for me! Do you hear me?"
