Chapter 9 When something goes wrong, there must be a monster
When I came to the door, there was indeed a bicycle. It was an old bicycle with a beam that was produced ten years ago. No one is riding it now, and there is no place to buy it.
“Although it’s shabby, the quality is very good.”
Why do these words sound so familiar?
Chen Feng and Jia Peng thought of the broken motorcycle and laughed.
"It's better than walking." Chen Feng smiled and got on the bicycle, "Jia Peng, I will take you this time!"
"Wait a minute, tonight's wages haven't been given to you yet." Liu Yi took out three hundred yuan, "It's three hundred yuan in total. You two can divide it up as you like. Don't think it's too little."
Jia Peng immediately took the money and said, "It's quite a lot. Thank you, Uncle Liu."
"Slow down on the road. By the way, those migrant workers said they would come for breakfast early tomorrow morning. It would be better if they could come early tomorrow."
"Okay, come here early tomorrow morning." Chen Feng agreed immediately, "Let's go, Uncle Liu!"
After traveling through mountains and rivers, the two finally arrived in front of Chen Feng's courtyard in Jiushan Town. Fortunately, the car didn't fall apart, but both of their buttocks were numb.
"Brother Feng, you're going to get up really early tomorrow morning? Can you get up?"
"If you sleep in, you can go there later. I have to go early. By the way, your home is far away. You can ride your bicycle back."
After saying that, Chen Feng walked into the courtyard.
He's so motivated! Looking at Chen Feng's back, Jia Peng couldn't help but wonder, Brother Feng has changed too much.
Although it was already early in the morning, the courtyard was not quiet at all.
All kinds of sounds reached my ears, including the sound of men drinking, talking, laughing, and punching, the sound of mahjong being washed, the hysterical quarrel of a couple, the grievance cry of a child, and the symphony of the soul and body of men and women...
…
The sounds came from the east and west courtyards. The middle courtyard was relatively quiet. Only the noise of a couple came from a house in the front courtyard.
Chen Feng walked to Chen Xiaomeng's door and listened carefully. He heard no movement inside. The curtains were open. When he looked in from the outside, he found that Chen Xiaomeng was not sleeping in the room.
He walked to Su Qing's room and heard two people talking in their sleep. One of them, Chen Xiaomeng, said in his sleep: "Scumbag! Rotten gambler! Big drunkard...pay me back...stay away from me...
...Mom, where are you..."
How much does my daughter hate him as a father? She scolds him in her dreams and tells him to get out.
Also, she must miss her mother very much.
Chen Feng sighed, it was so pitiful for her daughter who had no parents to take care of her since she was a child. He had to make up for the father's love she had lacked in the past ten years.
Chen Feng walked to another bedroom in the north and didn't hear the landlord and his wife. It was strange that they were sleeping so deeply.
He returned to the room, closed the door, and immediately called Jia Peng, "Are you home?"
"Brother Feng, you miss me so quickly." Jia Peng chuckled.
"There is something I want to ask you. I see you are very familiar with the landlady's granddaughter, right?"
"I often go to see you, of course I'm familiar with you."
"Then are you familiar with the landlord and his wife?"
"Brother Feng, are you trying to scare me in the middle of the night?" Jia Peng trembled with fright.
"What do you mean? I just didn't see the landlord and his wife asking you." Chen Feng said.
"It seems you haven't remembered yet. The landlord and his wife passed away when you were released from prison."
"What!? I said there was no movement in their room."
"If there's any movement, it'll be damned. Brother Feng, go to sleep quickly, and don't scare me."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng couldn't calm down for a long time. How could such two good people die?
The landlord's granddaughter was pitiful and lived alone here. Chen Feng suddenly felt that he had another responsibility.
In the past, the landlord and his wife helped him take care of his daughter. Now he wants to repay the favor and take good care of their granddaughter.
The next morning, Chen Xiaomeng, who had no time to wash up, rushed out of the house and came to Chen Feng's house. "Bang!" A powerful whip kicked the door open and rushed in.
"You give me a name..."
She stopped when she spoke. Where was Chen Feng in the room?
What surprised her the most was that the dirty and messy room was actually clean. Not only was there no garbage on the floor, it was also spotlessly clean, and the quilt on the bed was neatly folded.
The furnishings in the house are no longer cluttered, and there is even a blue iris blooming in May on the windowsill.
Chen Xiaomeng couldn't believe what she saw.
"Xiaomeng, what's going on?" Su Qing walked in and asked in surprise, "Did I go to the wrong room? How come it's so clean?"
"You must think you can't pay me back, so you clean the house to win my favor!"
"Huh? There is money on this table." Su Qing walked to a small table in the house, picked up a stack of money, counted it, and said in surprise: "There is actually a thousand yuan! Did your father really find a job?
Already?"
Chen Xiaomeng snorted, "It must have been a lucky win because of gambling."
"It's good that he can find a job like this. It's impossible to earn 1,000 yuan a day. He's almost catching up with the gold-collar class in the city. However, maybe he won the lottery, not necessarily by gambling." Su
Qing asked: "How much did he take from you?"
"Exactly one thousand."
Su Qing smiled and said: "No matter how he got the money, he finally paid it back to you. You can put it back quickly. I will get you a safe later to save him from taking your money again."
"Thank you, Sister Su Qing." Chen Xiaomeng's face turned slightly gloomy, "But my mother hasn't sent me any money for almost several months."
"Maybe my aunt didn't know about the death of my grandparents and sent the money to them anyway. Don't worry, I will go to the bank tomorrow to check my grandparents' accounts and find out."
Chen Xiaomeng's eyes lit up, "Sister Su Qing, if you check the payment records, will you know the name and location of the remitter?"
"Since your mother's work is confidential, she will definitely not fill in the name and address of the remitter. It is unlikely to be found. If grandpa knew, he would have told you earlier."
"Oh..." Chen Xiaomeng said disappointedly: "I don't know my mother's name and address. Where can I find her when I grow up?"
Su Qing thought deeply: "Do you think your father will know?"
"He definitely doesn't know, and I now suspect that my mother left me not because of work, but because she couldn't stand him and couldn't come back! She didn't tell her address because she was afraid that this scumbag would find her."
"Why do you think so much in your little head all day long?" Su Qing said with a smile, "But it is indeed possible. Your father is really a scumbag, but his performance this morning was impressive. Not only did he clean the house
, and returned the money to you.”
"Don't be fooled by illusions!" Chen Xiaomeng curled her lips, "When things go wrong, there will be monsters."
Su Qing secretly thought that Chen Xiaomeng was too prejudiced against her father.
Also, anyone who encounters such a father will go crazy, let alone this Chen Xiaomeng who has always had no emotional basis but is very independent?
