20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 304 Embarrassment (Added)

Afternoon, Chengxi Railway Station.

A freight train sped along the tracks without stopping at the station.

"Woo——"

The violent roar covered up the conversation between Jia Biaotou and the cigarette butt.

"you sure?"

"It's necessary! Xiao Liu from Shanfangtang told me personally. How can it be false?"

"That means that a group of them are really here for that batch of medicinal materials?" Jia asked the leader.

The cigarette butt nodded desperately and said: "The guy specifically told me that Liang Bolin from Shanfangtang knew that boy several years ago, and his name seems to be Jiang Lianheng. This guy lives in Nancheng. He used to be extremely poor and owed money to Shanfangtang. Liang Bolin used to ask people to collect the money for medicine. He thought this guy was dead, but he came back and opened some kind of insurance company. "

"Jiang Lianheng... insurance company..."

Chief Jia was talking to himself, as if he had some enlightenment.

The cigarette butt continued: "Boss Jia, there is one more thing that I find strange. The place where Jiang Lianheng lives now seems to be the home of Lao Yuan and his family. I took a look this morning and I don't know what the house is like. But there is always someone standing guard outside the door, who looks like someone from the street. However, I heard from the clerk at Shanfangtang that there seems to be a big-bellied woman in the house, most likely the daughter-in-law of the guy named Jiang."

Jia narrowed his eyes, immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the railroad tracks.

On a hot summer day, waves of heat rise from the reddish-brown railway tracks.

Yuan Xinfa stood next to the switch machine, shirtless, struggling to get the railway back on track.

His skin was dark and shiny, and the muscles on his shoulders and neck were bulging high, like a hill.

"Boss Jia, big man Yuan, can't you sell us out?"

"You stay here, I'll go talk to him."

As Boss Jia said, he jumped off the platform, crossed the railway track with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and came to Yuan Xinfa's side laughing and joking.

"Lao Yuan! Hahaha, are you busy?"

"Boss Jia?" Yuan Xinfa stood up and asked somewhat unexpectedly, "What kind of job do you have? Tell me."

"It's okay, I just came here to talk to you!"

Boss Jia put his arm around Yuan Xinfa's shoulders, pretending to be affectionate, and suddenly smiled and said: "Old Yuan, what did you guess? The word flower that my brother pressed for you yesterday won the prize! There are three big boys! Remember it tonight Come and get money from me!”

Yuan Xinfa frowned and nodded without knowing why.

"Hey, Lao Yuan, I heard that there are guests at your house?" Boss Jia asked with a smile, "Where are these relatives from?"

Yuan Xinfa was suddenly startled. He felt bad and tried to hide away for fear of getting into trouble. In the end, he was inevitably implicated.

"I'm asking you! Why didn't you listen? Is there anyone at home?" Jia asked the leader.

"Ah... yes, that's what happened." Yuan Xinfa knew that the matter could not be concealed, so he could only hesitantly say something.

"What do they want to do with you?"

"Well... I don't know. He either came to see me or just happened to be passing by."

"Snapped!"

Chief Jia slapped Yuan Xinfa on the neck and shook him twice, half joking, half threatening.

"Old Yuan! You look like an honest person, but in fact I know you are the most wicked. You are a smart person, it is best not to do stupid things, see through without telling the truth, and learn to be a mute. It will be good for your family of three. Brother You know what it means to be a fool, so you don’t need me to say more about it, right?"

Yuan Xinfa smiled bitterly, but said: "Boss Jia, what do you mean... I don't quite understand."

"You better not understand!"

Boss Jia patted Yuan Xinfa on the back of the head like he was coaxing a child and said, "Okay, let's get to work!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the platform, waving to the cigarette butt.

"You help me keep an eye here for a while. I'll go to the meeting and tell my brother about the situation."

The cigarette butt responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, boss Jia, please help me say a few nice words in front of my elder brother, and there is also the matter of joining the club..."

Before he finished speaking, Chief Jia waved his hand impatiently and walked out of the station.

…    …

Near evening, Jiang Lianheng and Zhao Zhengbei returned to their residence in Nancheng in a daze.

Ren Pengfei in the military camp was a good drinker, so the two of them had no choice but to risk their lives to accompany him. The meal lasted from noon to afternoon. They didn't eat a few bites of the food, but they drank a lot of wine.

I planned to take off my shoes and get on the kang immediately after returning home and have a good rest.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I heard a lot of noise and commotion in the room, which was like a vegetable market.

Liu Yansheng was squeezed into sitting on the ground in the outer room. Seeing Jiang Lian enter the room, he quickly stood up to greet him.

"Brother, I'm back. I have to tell you something. I'm going to meet Wen Tingge this morning. There seems to be a trick from the Double Dragon Club in that teahouse."

Jiang Lianheng drank so much that he was confused and staggered. He raised his hand and interrupted: "We'll talk about the rest later. What's going on in this room? Did some pig jump through the hoop or something?"

Liu Yansheng turned sideways helplessly, "Brother, see for yourself!"

Zhao Zhengbei peeked his head into the back room first.

Ho!

I saw three sisters-in-law, six aunts, seven aunts and eight aunts on the whole street, all huddled in the house in a chaotic manner.

Except for the empty space on the roof beams, I wish there were people everywhere, just like visiting relatives during the New Year, cracking melon seeds and chattering, the room full of long-tongued women, making people's brains boil.

Han Xinyuan, Zhang Zhengdong and their five brothers were squeezed under the window and stood in a row as if they were being tortured.

Hu Xiaoyan was the only one in the room who felt at ease.

She sees in all directions and listens in all directions, striving to prevent anyone from being left out and reduced to a bystander with nothing to say.

And those talkative women can always unconsciously follow Hu Xiaoyan's words and deeds and change the topic from one person to another. Even Yingzi, who is not good at words, also feels embarrassed in this chaotic and disorderly family. , gradually became relaxed and happy.

Most of what everyone was talking about, apart from the children and men of each family, was related to the Double Dragon Society in the east of the city.

These women's families are no better than the men who work outside. They know how to stay silent and avoid trouble. After being instigated by others, they really dare to speak out and say whatever they have to say.

When it comes to the Double Dragon Club, women can't help but spit, saying that these gangsters are so tyrannical and domineering. Looking at their posture, they wish they could be crushed to ashes - of course, it's just talk.

As soon as Jiang Lianheng showed his head, Han Xinyuan and Zhang Zhengdong looked down and started to complain.

"Brother! It's been a day, it's been a whole day! Do you know how brothers spent this day? Whenever I touch this hair, my head hurts! Come on, please go away. Bar!"

At this time, Hu Xiaoyan turned her face slightly to the side on the kang and saw Jiang Lianheng coming back drunk.

Aunt Yuan understood and stood up immediately. Zhang Long and the others said: "Okay, okay, the trail is back, let's quickly make room for the young couple!"

"It's okay, it's okay, just sit down for a while!" Hu Xiaoyan advised against her will.

Everyone saw that it was getting late and it was time to go home and cook, so they stood up in twos and threes, resigned several times, and finally dispersed.

After the ladies left, Hu Xiaoyan's smiling face immediately turned cold.

Jiang Lianheng drunkenly walked to the kang, took off his shoes, and fell down on the quilt, snoring a little while talking.

"What's wrong with calling such a bunch of silly old ladies over?"

Hu Xiaoyan touched her belly, leaned on her arms and leaned next to Jiang Lianheng. She lay down and said, "The road has been paved for you. If you want to plow this land, just go ahead and do it. Leave the rest to me." "

Jiang Lianheng rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, "You don't value peace anymore?"

Hu Xiaoyan said calmly: "The foundation of the Double Dragon Society is too shallow, and it is self-destructive. It is not worthy of talking to us about human relations."

"hey-hey."

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, she's my wife!"

"Why not?"

Jiang Lian turned over, rubbed Xiaoyan's belly, and said worriedly: "I may have to go up the mountain to ask Li Zheng and the others about the situation of the bearded gang. It will take about three or two days to go back and forth. You are alone. , can it be done?”

Hu Xiaoyan pursed her lips slightly and asked, "When have I ever been a burden to you?"
