Lu Feng parked the car on the side of the road and walked towards the alley. From time to time, the barking of dogs could be heard in the distance. All the lights in the surrounding houses were turned off, and only the lights in the direction of his home were brightly lit.
When I got home, I saw Aunt Liu still sitting there, as if she hadn't felt Lu Feng's return yet.
"Go to bed if you're sleepy." Lu Feng looked at her and said, "I told you already, I don't have to leave any food when I come back late, so you should go to bed early."
Aunt Liu was startled, raised her head and looked at Lu Feng in a panic, and asked: "Mr. Lu, when did you come back?"
"I just walked in. Are you sitting here and falling asleep?" Lu Feng said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Go back to the house and rest quickly."
"Oh oh oh!" She stood up, looking rather unnatural, and looked back at Lu Feng frequently, as if she had something to say.
Lu Feng also felt something strange about her and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you? Do you have something to say to me? Aunt Liu, I feel something is wrong at home and I feel aggrieved. Even though you are a nanny, you are still a nanny."
In the eyes of Xiaoyan and I, you are the elder, so don’t be too alienated."
"No, it's good." Aunt Liu took a deep breath and said, "Well... Mr. Jiang is not here, he has gone out."
"Ah? Out?" Lu Feng couldn't react, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing out at night?"
"I'm not sure. I'm leaving with Mr. Zhang, so don't worry and go to bed early." Aunt Liu didn't dare to stay too long after saying that, for fear that Lu Feng would notice something. She just said that she was tired and went back to the house to rest.
.
Lu Feng went to Duoduo's room and saw that she was still sleeping. He then went to the bedroom. The quilt was in a mess and he sat on the bed with questions in his head.
"Why is Zhang Fengxia so crazy? Why would she drag a pregnant woman out at night?"
Lu Feng wanted to contact Zhang Fengxia, but Zhang Fengxia didn't have a pager or a big brother, so he couldn't contact her at all. Besides, they were both adults, so nothing serious could happen.
The phone at home rang. Lu Feng picked it up and said, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Fengxia, did you just come home?" Zhang Fengxia asked.
"We just entered the house, where did you take my wife? It was in the middle of the night." Lu Feng wondered: "She is pregnant."
"I know, we were chatting today, and suddenly she mentioned staying in a hotel, so I drove her out to eat something, walked around the night market, and now she's staying in a hotel." Zhang Fengxia said very relaxedly.
"Staying in a hotel?" Lu Feng said speechlessly: "What is this all about?"
"Oh, you don't understand. Two women are going crazy together. By the way, I'll ask you for a day off. I won't go to work tomorrow. I'm having fun tonight. I have to have fun for a few days." Zhang Fengxia was very determined.
As he spoke, his tone was full of non-negotiability.
"Ask for leave?"
Lu Feng thought she was abnormal. She had been working hard in the past two years. It was impossible for her to just ask for leave just because she enjoyed going out for fun.
However, Lu Feng couldn't say anything. He could only say: "Okay, don't take her to drink. Come back tomorrow."
"Just leave it alone. This is what we call sisters' late-night outing plan. As a woman who won't go home, you remember to send Duoduo to school. Don't worry, you won't drink. I still have a sense of propriety. That's it. I hung up the phone.
By the way, don't call me, this is a phone booth on the roadside." After Zhang Fengxia finished speaking, she didn't give Lu Feng a chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.
Beside the nurse's desk, Zhang Fengxia paid the phone bill, still holding Jiang Xiaoyan's hand, turned to look at her and said: "I called him, but he doesn't know anything yet, don't worry."
Jiang Xiaoyan seemed to have lost her soul. She walked into the ward blankly, lay half on the bed, and said to herself: "I have nothing, I really have nothing."
"You're just a child, why are you seeking death and survival?" Zhang Fengxia sighed and said, "You haven't lost anything, you are still you."
Jiang Xiaoyan looked at her and said, "I can't live anymore, how can I live?"
"Why can't you live? It's not your fault, and it's not your fault. Why are you torturing yourself like this?" Zhang Fengxia grabbed her hand and said: "No one said that you must have children, don't do it yourself.
If you can't get over it yourself, this is just a bad point in your life."
Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't listen to anything at the moment. She didn't dare to think about how to face Lu Feng's parents, let alone what she would face when she returned to her hometown.
That's hell!
"I told him that when we went out to play, you take good care of yourself. It will be a new day when you go back. I still understand him very well. He will only feel sorry for you." Zhang Fengxia held Jiang Xiaoyan's hand tightly and asked.
Said: "Don't do stupid things, you know?"
Jiang Xiaoyan never spoke. She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. Her self-confidence, which was once as high as Mount Everest, was destroyed in an instant. Not even the dregs were left.
Zhang Fengxia talked a lot in her ears, telling her that this was a new era and she could not live in the old-fashioned ideas of the past. Women did not have to have children. Marriage should involve love, not children.
"Just say something, tell me what you are thinking, and spit it out, okay?" Zhang Fengxia even had a little pleading in her voice.
Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes. Jiang Xiaoyan licked her dry lips and finally spoke.
"Actually, I should be very happy. From the moment he stopped hitting me, I should be very happy. My biggest wish at that time was that he was like a human being. What you said to me about America and DINK, those are all away from me.
It’s too far away.”
"I live in that village. I wish I had always lived in that town and never met him. You don't need to tell me those big principles. I understand them all. But if I don't have a child, how can I be worthy of him?"
Jiang Xiaoyan was crying as she spoke, and she looked at Zhang Fengxia and said, "Am I worthy of him? What do I do every day? Wash clothes, cook, clean? Aunt Liu can do those things. After he gets rich, I'm afraid,
I was really scared, I felt like he was standing in front of me like a giant."
"I asked him more than once not to get bigger. Am I being selfish? For a while, we didn't even talk. He was busy with the company, and I didn't understand. In front of him, I looked like a fool, so I
Opened a cosmetics factory."
"It feels like we are getting further and further apart. He... He is very good, he is really very good. He is so good that this person who I was once afraid of can bully him, pinch him, make trouble with him, and make trouble unreasonably...
....."
"I admit that I have low self-esteem and feel like a waste, but I can't feel content with being a waste. I am always in panic every day. I am afraid of losing, but I can't find the direction in life. My only hope is to have a child."
"I can tell myself that I am the mother of the child and he is the father of the child. This is our relationship. And I can say in front of his parents, no matter how rich your son is, your grandson was born to me."
"Now that the child is gone, I have become a hen that cannot lay eggs. What else can I do but die? Wait for people to humiliate me? Talk about me behind my back? Or let him continue to give alms. I am like a beggar, waiting.
He comes home and talks to me, asking him to love me more?"
As she spoke, Jiang Xiaoyan sobbed and cried. No one knew how she had spent the past few years. She was just a little woman. Her biggest wish was to protect her family and live a simple life. She had never dreamed of it.
Everything today.
Zhang Fengxia had always thought that Jiang Xiaoyan was the happiest woman in the world. She didn't expect that there would be so much bitterness. She sighed and said: "Then you can't seek death. Isn't that stupid? Once you die, you may not know who will benefit."
Woolen cloth."
Jiang Xiaoyan stopped talking. She didn't dare to think about how to face Lu Feng, let alone how to face Lu Feng's parents. Even if her mother-in-law didn't say anything, her heart was already extremely fragile. Her mother-in-law accidentally
One look could be a sharp sword to her.
The windows were sealed and the door was locked. Zhang Fengxia shared a bed with her, murmuring to comfort her and repeatedly telling her not to be confused. The two fell asleep in a daze.
The next day was an ordinary day. The sun still rose in the east and set in the west. It didn't care what joys and sorrows happened to these creatures on the earth. It exuded scorching heat, but was as cold as ice.
Huang Youwei brought the matter to the forefront, and an investigation team was set up in the province that night. A meeting was held early this morning.
There were seven or eight people sitting in the conference room. The leader was probably in his sixties, wearing a pair of reading glasses and looking through the information in front of him.
"The evidence is abundant. The number of people involved in the design may have caused a big earthquake among the local cadres." He put down the information in his hand and asked Huang Youwei, "Where did these things come from?"
"Someone left it at the door of my office." Huang Youwei replied.
"With such complete evidence, it should be an internal struggle. One's own people reported one's own people. Secretary Huang, now we have two options. One is that we arrest all the people involved. But doing this will make people panic.
Moreover, a large number of positions will be vacant. The meaning of the province is also that there should be no big shock. The second is to first arrest some key elements, such as Di Mingde and Ma Juntao, who are involved in bribery and other crimes. Hao Zhihai
, Hao Zhipeng, Brother Ba and others will be arrested first, and the rest of the city will advance."
"Okay, I agree!" Huang Youwei nodded and agreed: "Then these people will all be handed over to the province for processing?"
"It must be in the province. Such a big case should become a typical case this year. We had a meeting last night. The province's intention was to serve as a warning and take people away at the meeting so that others can take a look."
Huang Youwei nodded slightly and said: "Very good, it's very educational. The recent trend is indeed not very good. Leave it to the province so I don't have to work hard. This is also my dereliction of duty. I will write a letter of apology when the time comes."
."
"Looking at the entire time span of the crime, it has little to do with you, but the local government must be responsible for anti-corruption. Let's not talk about it for now. You tell people to hold a meeting, and we will arrest them and conduct a surprise interrogation!"
Huang Youwei stood up, returned to the office, picked up the phone and called Secretary Cui.
