Chapter 40 Scared After (Part 1)
After leaving the restaurant and returning to the guest room, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Xiao Xin, who had been crazy for a day, was already asleep. Mrs. Fang suppressed her thoughts and settled her child, and she was still thinking about the scene at the dinner.
Fang Zhichun sat on the edge of the bed with a swell of worry and anger. After thinking about it, he couldn't control his emotions. He stood up and strode out of the room, came to Wu Ming's house and reached out to push the door open.
Lu Kuiyuan and Lei Peng, who had just filled their stomachs, went down to take a shower and didn't come back. Wu Ming opened the buttons of his shirt and was holding a gold chain to look under the light bulb. He was quite surprised to see Fang Zhichun breaking in, so he threw the chain onto the table and picked up the thermos before the shorter table to make tea for her.
"Are you angry?" Wu Ming brought the steaming tea to her.
Fang Zhichun responded with a straight face: "Hmph! I've spoken nonsense and said nonsense. I finally saw it. I'm afraid even this gold chain is fake, right?"
Wu Ming buckled his shirt and looked at the gold chain on the table, and was not angry: "The chain is real. I originally planned to buy a gold watch. But I didn't know that there was a watch in the watch shops all over the street, and it was ridiculously expensive, so I had to hang a gold chain to make up the numbers. Isn't it popular now?"
Fang Zhichun didn't know what Wu Ming was good, but after a while he said angrily: "I know you are spending a lot of money on us to help us, but you can't talk nonsense, and you're talking about the false wedding date. How do you tell me to be a human being?"
Wu Ming didn't expect Fang Zhichun to react so strongly: "I'm sorry, I don't think about it, but please believe that I don't mean to take advantage of you, nor do I have any inappropriate thoughts. At that time, I just wanted to save you some trouble and not let that lustful fly always make you think of you. I didn't think too much. I guess these words that make you unhappy will not spread. Although the two people named Wang were cunning, they didn't look like long-tongued women."
"Do you really think so?" Fang Zhichun stared at Wu Ming in confusion.
"If you don't think so, what do you want me to think?" Wu Ming answered angrily.
This sentence annoyed Fang Zhichun again. If Mrs. Fang hadn't come in in time, Fang Zhichun might have gotten angry again.
"Xiao Wu, I still don't understand. Do you say that Mr. Hu Shi is your brother? Mr. Wu Tiecheng is your uncle? Is it true?"
Mrs. Fang sat down next to Fang Zhichun and looked at Wu Ming in confusion. Fang Zhichun also raised her head curiously.
Wu Ming sighed helplessly and pointed to the newspaper on the desktop: "There are news about them in the newspapers these two days... In fact, I have nothing to do with them at all, it is just to make up lies and scare people."
Fang Zhichun was stunned for a moment, took the newspaper and looked carefully, and found that there was indeed a lot of news about the Nanjing central government, as well as the report of Hu Shi attending a national academic conference in Shanghai. Fang Zhichun looked at it for a while and suddenly raised his head, staring at Wu Ming incredibly: "So, you have prepared these lies before you even went to the banquet?"
"yes!"
Wu Ming was a little annoyed at the reaction of the two women. He knocked on the table hard and asked extremely seriously: "Since you have any objections to me doing this, please tell me, is there any way more effective than lying me? Do you still want to send money to redeem people? Your hard nails have not been touched enough?"
"you……"
Fang Zhichun's lyrics were exhausted, and then he thought, it was really the case. If Wu Ming had not had the bold style of playing the tiger's skin and making a big banner, he would not know what the bad thing is now.
Mrs. Fang quickly smoothed out the situation, took Fang Zhichun's slender hand and sat down together, and said gratefully to Wu Ming: "I'm sorry Xiao Wu, Zhichun has a little anxious temper. I don't have much experience in dealing with things. I have never experienced such complicated things since I was a child, so I heard you say so much that I can't turn around for a while, so don't take it to my heart."
"Sister-in-law, thank you. If you hadn't helped set up a plan, we really wouldn't know how to deal with these vampires who beg for extortion, and even cost you 150 yuan. I feel very sorry, but I don't know how to repay you."
"If you don't say this, sister-in-law, it's not easy for you. A woman who has been tossing and moving thousands of miles with a big belly, suffered so much pain and suffered so much sin, and still continues to run for her husband without wavering. You are the one I respect most! Compared with you, what does my little help count? If you really want to thank me, don't talk about polite words and treat me as your friend. To be honest, I really envy Brother Fang. If I have a woman in the future, she will have half of her affection and love for me and my sister-in-law, and I will not be in vain to walk in this world." Wu Ming comforted with emotion.
Tears burst into Sister Fang's eyes, and Fang Zhichun was moved by it. Wu Ming's ordinary words were nothing to put on others, but in Sister Fang, in such a difficult situation in front of her, it was even more touching and tear-jerking.
"I'm sorry!" Fang Zhichun apologized in a low voice.
Wu Ming shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is that your brother can be released from prison as soon as possible."
Mrs. Fang wiped away her tears, thought for a while and asked with concern: "Do you think Section Chief Wang's words count?"
Wu Ming thought for a moment: "I guess there is no big problem. Wang, the surname is just now, and he made a clear promise on his chest. Although he can't believe it all, a treacherous person like him will not easily agree to anything. Moreover, he not only agreed, but also said the exact time of release. Another thing, I feel that he believes that I have a deep background. Even if he doesn't believe it all, he dares not provoke me at the risk of angering me... But it seems that he believed it, otherwise he would not have accepted the two gold bars in the end."
"You mean, in the end you took out the gold to test them?" Fang Zhichun calmed down and began to feel enlightened.
Wu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "It can be said that twenty taels of gold are not a decimal. If I give it out, I will be penniless! Then again, if they accept it, I will be very worried, because it means that they are insatiable and have reached the point of being unscrupulous, and things will be even more troublesome!"
"Fortunately, they didn't accept it, which means they really are afraid of my identity and are worried that their appearance is too ugly and will be retaliated by the forces behind me. After all, they are all in-service officers and have to continue to make a living in the army. They have to worry about their future. It is absolutely no benefit for anyone to do things."
Fang Zhichun seemed to have some understanding, then bulged his eyes at Wu Ming: "Look at you are not very old, why are you full of conspiracies and tricks?"
Wu Ming suddenly lost his speech, picked up the tea cup and drank tea on his own, not willing to look at Fang Zhichun again.
"Zhi Chun, how do you say?" Fang Dasan Slap Fang Zhichun's hand gently. Seeing Wu Ming's face was not good, she thought for a while and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wu, how old are you this year?"
Wu Ming was stunned: "It's over twenty-four and twenty-five. How could my sister-in-law have such a question?"
"Are you interested?" Mrs. Fang asked again, her eyes full of concern.
Wu Ming laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I suggest you wait until Brother Fang comes out before you care about such trivial matters."
Sister Fang smiled embarrassedly, but then said sincerely: "Sister-in-law really wants to treat you as a younger brother. Since you sent me and my parents out of the bandit den, I have not treated you as an outsider. But I dare not say it out, worried that I would not deserve a good brother like you... I am the only daughter in my family. Since I was a child, I have been looking forward to having a younger brother..."
"Sister-in-law, don't do this."
Wu Ming went over and picked up the heater, poured hot water into the copper plate, pulled off the towel and threw it in, rub it for a few times, wringed it out and took it to Sister Fang.
Fang Zhichun, who was crying with tears on his face, took a towel to wipe his sister-in-law's tears, but after that, he covered his face with a towel and cried bitterly. Over the past six months, the huge changes in family conditions, the warmth and coldness of people's hearts, and the many ups and downs, seemed to have all come to his heart at this moment.
After a long time, Mrs. Fang finally calmed down, stood up and told Wu Ming to rest earlier, and support Fang Zhichun, who was crying, to return to his room.
That night, no one in the two adjacent rooms slept well.
