The Bund of Shiliupu, Shanghai. The horns of tricycles are blaring, and the cries of various small businesses are also various. People are coming and going, and it is very lively. One day, Liu Yong was walking alone on the Bund of Shiliupu listlessly.
.
Across the road, Qiu Xiancha saw Liu Yong and shouted loudly: Brother Liu! Brother Liu!
Liu Yong turned around and saw Qiu Xiancha. He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He ignored him, quickened his pace and walked forward.
Qiu Xiancha thought Liu Yong didn't hear him, so he quickly crossed the road and came to Liu Yong.
Qiu Xiancha gasped and said joyfully: Brother Liu, you have come to Shanghai too? Why don't you come and sit down? How are your aunt, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces?
Liu Yong sneered and said: Thanks to you, everything is going very well.
Liu Yong didn't want to pay attention to Qiu Xiancha anymore and walked straight forward.
Qiu Xiancha felt strange. He and Liu Yong had reunited after a long separation, but why did Liu Yong treat him like this?
Qiu Xiancha chased after Liu Yong, grabbed Liu Yong, and said: Brother Liu Yong, what's wrong with you, you are neither yin nor yang? What happened?
Liu Yong had a sullen face, hehey, and said with a sneer: You ask my sister-in-law if she is okay? You ask me, I haven't asked you yet, where did you do her?
Qiu Xiancha was dumbfounded and said: Brother Liu, what do you mean?
Liu Yong stopped and suddenly felt something was wrong. He and Qiu Xiancha had been sworn friends for many years. Qiu Xiancha was really honest and would never play any scheming, nor could he pretend to be nothing after stealing his adopted sister-in-law.
Thinking of this, Liu Yong asked directly: Brother, have you met Hong Ying?
Qiu Xiancha said bluntly: I have seen it.
Liu Yong asked again: Where have you seen it?
Qiu Xiancha said: At Shiliupu Pier.
Seeing Qiu Xiancha's appearance, Liu Yong became suspicious again: Then where are you hiding her now?
Qiu Xiancha was shocked and said: What did you say? Could it be that my sister-in-law is missing?
Liu Yong sneered and said: It seems that you are pretending to be quite similar. Someone saw you whispering at Shiliupu Pier that day, one after another, and then disappeared.
Qiu Xiancha suddenly realized it and said: Oh - so that's it. I met my sister-in-law by chance at Shiliupu Pier that day. Seeing how worried she was, when I asked her, she refused to tell her. She only said that she had something important and asked me if I had something wrong with me.
There was no banknote, so she asked for ten thousand taels. I went to buy the goods, and I happened to have ten thousand taels with me, so I gave it to her. I was still worried, so I followed her secretly, and later I saw her boarding a ocean liner and loading a ship.
Goods, I don’t know what they are.
Liu Yong was thoughtful and asked: So do you see it clearly?
Qiu Xiancha said: I am not blind. The boat has left, and my sister-in-law is still standing on the boat waving to me. You misunderstood where I hid her, and what is my relationship with you? You are not afraid of other people’s jokes, and I still
I'm afraid that someone will stab me in the back. Would I, A Liang, do such a shameful thing?
After listening to Qiu Xiancha's words, he seemed to be reasonable, and Liu Yong no longer doubted him. However, the mystery in Liu Yong's heart became even worse. If it was not for Qiu Xiancha, why did Hong Ying leave him? What happened to her?
There was a silver note of 10,000 taels from Liu Hengshun Silk Shop, and she borrowed another 10,000 taels from Qiu Xiancha. What did she need so much money for? Liu Yong thought thoughtfully, what kind of cargo was on the ship? There is only one possibility, all this can be done
The explanation makes sense. Thinking of this, Liu Yong's heart was as sharp as a knife and his eyes were wet. He really felt sorry for Hong Ying.
Qiu Xiancha followed Liu Yong to Hengshun Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. The two brothers drank wine and talked about each other's experiences after their recent separation. Both of them were filled with sadness.
Liu Yong paid special attention to Qiu Xiancha and said: You must not tell anyone about your meeting with your sister-in-law at Shiliupu Pier.
Qiu Xiancha said: I know which is lighter and which is more important.
Liu Yong added: I just hope that the world will soon be peaceful and that we can all return to Nanxun as soon as possible.
Qiu Xiancha said: I heard that the days of growing hair may not last long. Now that the Hunan army has recovered most of Zhejiang, the young king has nowhere to go and has been welcomed to Huzhou by King Du.
Liu Yong said worriedly: It seems that a fierce battle in the Huzhou area is inevitable. I hope the people will suffer less.
Qiu Xiancha said: It will only take a year or two at most, let's endure it.
Qiu Xiancha was full of wine and food and said goodbye to Liu Yong.
After seeing off Qiu Xiancha, Liu Yong came to Dongmei and Qiumei's room.
When Dongmei and Qiumei saw their father coming in with something worried, they all gathered around Liu Yong.
Liu Yong took the hands of his two daughters and asked: My daughter, today, my father wants to ask you a question: Is your mother-in-law nice to you?
Dongmei and Qiumei both felt that their father was a little strange today, but when asked if their mother was good to them, they said in unison: "Okay!"
Dongmei said: She is very considerate about what we eat and use, and she always takes care of how we should behave.
Qiu Mei also stretched out her left hand and said, "Look, the rings you gave to my mother as a betrothal gift, my mother gave us two sisters, one for each of us."
Seeing that these two rings, which represented his feelings, were now worn on his daughter's hands, Liu Yong could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.
Dongmei was more sensible and immediately brought a towel to wipe Liu Yong's tears.
Liu Yong said: My daughter, you have grown up. You must know that although you are not her biological mother, she is willing to sacrifice her life for you and this family. She is the most amazing person in the world.
No matter where you go from now on, you can forget your father, but you must never forget your mother.
After listening to Liu Yong's warning, the two sisters said in unison: We all understand what dad said, and we will never forget mom and dad.
Liu Yong added: I am going back to my hometown in the next few days. Your grandma is not in good health, so I want to see her. You two sisters must help grandma take care of your brother.
Both sisters nodded.
Liu Yong came out of his home and called a rickshaw back to Yangxing.
Liu Yong summoned Liu Qing and said: I plan to go back to Nanxun and visit my wife's natal house in Jili Village. I will leave the management of the foreign company to you. Please use more snacks.
Liu Ting agreed and said: Brother, don't worry.
Liu Yong asked: I will pass by your house when I go to Jili Village. Do you have anything or anything you want me to bring?
Liu Ting said: "Actually, it's nothing. If you see my family, just tell them that I am doing well in Shanghai and let them take care of themselves."
Liu Yong thought for a while and said: Go to the warehouse and get some foreign cloth and candies, divide them into two packages, take one to your wife's family, and the other to your home.
Liu Ting smiled and said: Hey, I am still thoughtful.
Liu Yong packed his bags and went out. He still had the road sign approved by the king of blocking in his hand, so there was no problem traveling between Jiangsu and Zhejiang alone, so he hired a boat and successfully arrived at Jili Village in less than three days. Jili Village was still peaceful.
It was peaceful and quiet, as if Nanxun, which was seven miles away, was completely different from them.
