Chapter 101 Who Owes Whom?

Ju Nian lightly stated the ins and outs of what he knew, trying his best to be a bystander without any emotion.But such an unexciting narration, Pingfeng listened unusually seriously.

Pingfeng would visit Ju Nian's house every Spring Festival, and she could be regarded as the only visitor of Ju Nian during this festival in the past.It's just that she came later this year. As usual, she would definitely show up on the second and third day of the Lunar New Year.

When Ju Nian saw Pingfeng brought a big bag of mountain goods, she realized that she had returned to her hometown in the countryside for the New Year.This is a rare thing. Although most of the money Pingfeng earns is sent back home, she doesn't like to go back to her hometown. She would rather float outside for many years during the Spring Festival.The orange year can feel that feeling, no one does not yearn for the warmth of home, but this kind of warmth cannot withstand the wear and tear of poverty and estrangement.Pingfeng's family members knew what she was doing outside, they needed her, but they also despised her, Pingfeng didn't want to accept that tone.In this case, everyone will see nothing.Therefore, Ju Nian was a little surprised that Ping Feng went home for the New Year for the first time.

"It's rare to go back, why don't you stay for a few more days?"

"Hey, don't talk about staying for a few more days, I will go crazy if I stay for one more day. The money has already been taken back, and I almost forgot what they looked like, so I went back to take a look at the Chinese New Year and leave an impression in my mind. , no matter how you say this life is considered a family, I don't know when we will see each other in the future." Ping Feng said.

Although he knew about her and her family, but when he heard her decisive words during the festive season, Ju Nian also felt that something was wrong.What's more, several of Pingfeng's younger siblings are also studying or working in this city, and they will not reach the point where they will meet at some point anyway.

She complained: "Don't say it like a farewell, it will make people panic when they hear it."

"Are you scared by me?" Pingfeng laughed so hard, and after she stopped, she buried her head in flipping through the special products she brought, which were nothing more than dried bamboo shoots, dried vegetables and the like. Ju Nian liked it, and she always remembered it.She pushed all these things in front of Ju Nian, and said, "I brought some extra on purpose, it's not worth much money, but it's rare to bring these to you again in the future."

Ju Nian couldn't bear it anymore, lightly pressed Pingfeng Hulala's hand that was pushing things, and said seriously: "Pingfeng, tell the truth, did something happen?"

Pingfeng stopped, blinked his eyes, Ju Nian saw the tears, and was even more anxious, "Tell me, what happened?"

Pingfeng looked very strange, she shook her head while wiping the corners of her eyes, but she was not sad, it seemed that the tears were just a sigh, even with a bit of joy.

"Ju Nian, I listen to you, I don't plan to do that business anymore, I found a man who is willing to take me, and he wants to take me away, so I am going to follow him out of here. It doesn't matter if the family doesn't mention it, other things I have nothing to miss, I just miss you."

Ju Nian should be happy for this friend. She always hoped that Ping Feng would have a good life. Now Ping Feng said that she had found her home, but Ju Nian was at a loss in her heart, not only because Ping Feng's farewell made her a little sudden, but also because of some The unknown disturbed her.

"I... I never heard you say that person."

Pingfeng lowered her head.

The answer that Ju Nian least wanted to see slowly surfaced and became clear.

She unconsciously grasped the hand on Pingfeng's arm.

"Could it be that the person you're talking about is really Wangnian?" She asked tremblingly, she really hoped that she had guessed wrong, and that Pingfeng would deny it immediately.

But Pingfeng nodded almost imperceptibly with her drooping head.

"You are a smart person, I know you must have a hunch."

Ju Nian slowly withdrew his hand.She had already sensed that something was wrong between Pingfeng and Wangnian, but she never said it, because she didn't want to embarrass her friend, and hoped that things might not be like that.However, the reality is going in a direction she can't imagine at all.

What did Pingfeng just say, Wangnian wanted to take her out of the city?

"Pingfeng, I really don't understand. Wangnian is still a child, and more importantly, he is eight years younger than us..."

Pingfeng's eyes also turned cold, and she smiled "hehe", "Ju Nian, I don't care what others think, I thought you wouldn't talk about it. Actually, it's not that you really don't understand, what you care about most is me and Is there an age gap between him? In the final analysis, it's because I'm out to sell. You can be friends with a prostitute, but you can't stand her marrying your brother!"

"I can't help you if you think so." Ju Nian's face was pale. She was friends with Pingfeng, and she could even be called a sister. Maybe her heart was as selfish and dark as Pingfeng said, but she really couldn't understand. He also couldn't accept the amazing and ridiculous fact that Pingfeng and Wangnian were going to fly away.

Pingfeng was a little sad, "I thought about leaving like this without telling you, but I can't do it, this is not something a friend does." She looked straight at Ju Nian, as if she saw that everyone was silent back then. In the cell, Ju Nian, who was injured to protect her, was curled up on the floor, covered in blood; others looked down on her, and the prisoners in the same cell threw the most tedious manual work on her bed in private. In the morning, if he couldn't hand in the finished product, it was another good beating. The prison guards turned a blind eye when they saw too much. Only Ju Nian finished his part, and then did her part without saying a word, and she did the part for others. For... These years, they have also supported each other along the way.She finally found a little man who didn't dislike her and treated her fairly well, but he happened to be Xie Wangnian.

"I don't want to hide it from you anymore. I have known him for almost three years. Do you still remember that you took Feiming back to your parents' house for the New Year, but they scolded you? I feel angry for you. Why? If you have been in prison, you are no longer their daughter. It’s okay if your parents are stubborn, but Xie Wangnian actually helped to bully you. I’m so angry, I asked him to ‘reason’ once behind your back, and I didn’t expect to become like this later He said he likes to be with me, but I can't tell you that. When I met him, I didn't come out to work alone, but hung out in Cui Minxing's nightclub. At that time, Wang Nian had just graduated from technical school I also introduced him to work as a driver for Cui Minxing for a while, and later he found another high branch, and I also came out of the nightclub, but I have always been in touch with him. The time he knocked me down in the alley, he In fact, he came to me secretly in the leader's car. He didn't know you were there. It was an accident. I just pretended to be stupid. I didn't intend to be serious with him. That's how things went, and I don't care. But Ju Nian, I didn't expect him to be serious about me. He wants me to go with him now. I may never meet such a silly boy again in my life. I don't care. Not so much."

Pingfeng stood up, "I have said what I have to say, and I don't expect your blessings. Those are all false. Only the days you can catch and the people around you are real. It doesn't matter if you forgive me or not." , I will treat you as a friend all my life. It doesn’t matter whether you treat me as a friend or not. I also remember that I owe you. If I am lucky in this life, I will pay you back. That’s all for now, I’m leaving .”

She was really about to leave, Ju Nian stopped her, "Pingfeng, I'm not afraid of your jokes, my parents, and Wangnian, I also died of that heart, and the only thing left that I can't let go of is that little bit." You are related by blood, the question is where Wangnian can take you, what skills does he have besides driving, he is young and can be impulsive, but what will you do in the future?"

Pingfeng said: "It's impossible not to leave. With your parents' temper...not really. It is estimated that any parent who knows that their son is with someone like me will not be able to live a peaceful life. But don't worry, Wangnian and I just did something not long ago, and the money will be available soon, and this money is enough for us to live for a while. I don’t ask for wealth, I just want a person who treats me well and lives comfortably Some, you don’t need to eat that bowl of rice with skin and meat, that’s enough.”

When Ping Feng said these things, because of Ju Nian's concern, he was a little bit excited again, as if a better day was in front of him, within reach.

Ju Nian still couldn't get back to his senses.She is not close to Wangnian, but she knows about this younger brother, who was spoiled by his parents since childhood, what can he do?What ability does he have to bear the entrustment of a woman like Pingfeng with all her life?Ju Nian had an ominous premonition, she was afraid that they would take reckless risks, just like the little monk back then... She was too familiar with that feeling of fear, so she could only beg, "Pingfeng, calm down, at least make it clear, your Where did the money come from? My parents have lost their family fortune long ago, where did Wangnian earn such a fortune, and, where are you planning to go?"

Pingfeng's expression became complicated, and she avoided Ju Nian's gaze, "Don't ask, knowing more about some things won't do you any good. Ju Nian, take care. If the matter between me and Wang Nian hurts you Xin..." She paused, and at a speed that Ju Nian couldn't stop, she slapped herself twice, "I'm sorry."

Ju Nian stayed there, watching a few clear finger marks gradually appear on Pingfeng Suyan's cheeks, just as sadness floated in her heart.She doesn't want Pingfeng and Wangnian to be together, but there is no way, people who want to leave can never be kept.

"Wait, don't go, wait for me." Ju Nian ran back to the room, and soon returned to Pingfeng's side, stuffing something into Pingfeng's hand who hadn't reacted.It was a card Tang Ye gave her, and it contained a small sum of money.Tang Ye will not take back his heart. Ju Nian stayed and originally planned to use it on Feiming, but now Feiming has returned to Chen Jiejie's side, and Zhou Ziyi is willing to accept Feiming for Chen Jiejie. It's no longer a problem.The Zhou family hired a full-time nurse for Feiming, and Ju Nian didn't even have to stay in front of the ward day and night, and she could go back to work in the fabric shop after the festival, which was enough for her alone.She couldn't use the money, but Pingfeng might.Although Pingfeng said that she would soon have a large sum of money, but the secret hidden behind Pingfeng's vague words made Ju Nian feel that things might not go so smoothly.

"You take it, and don't say where you're going, so you don't have to worry about it. But if Wangnian is unreliable, you must at least have some money for self-defense. Take it, and use it as a way out for yourself."

Pingfeng laughed as if crying, "Is there anyone who doesn't trust your own brother so much? Besides, are you crazy? Feiming is now the time to spend money!"

Ju Nian had no choice but to tell Pingfeng that Feiming had gone back to her biological mother, and she now belonged to another family, so it was not her turn to take care of her.

Pingfeng squeezed the card tightly, she didn't push it back and forth with Ju Nian.She knew that Ju Nian was never one to do superficial favors.Ju Nian gave her the money because he believed that she needed it more than himself.

"It's no fun that I owe you like this." Ping Feng turned her face away, not wanting Ju Nian to see her in a mess at this time, so she tried her best to smile, "Please, give me a chance Let me pay you back, and let you try what it feels like to owe me a favor."

"There will always be a chance." Ju Nian also tried to laugh.

"It's good that the child finds her real mother. Don't blame me for speaking badly. If you keep her by your side, it will be difficult for you to find a good man. Not many people are willing to buy one and get one free for this matter. Ju Nian, you also find someone Live well, there is nothing you can't live with, your life is only a few decades, don't make yourself miserable."

Ju Nian lowered his head and smiled, but said nothing.

Ping Feng poked her, "Don't pretend, who just walked out of your room reluctantly just now?"

Ju Nian said, "He just came over to hang out."

"Then why isn't he hanging around. Come on, I can't see it? That's what it is all about, have you ever seen a dog in heat? Nothing else on his mind but hanging around the bitches he likes ——I'm not scolding, I just want to say that there is actually no difference between a human and a dog in this respect, and he can't wait to climb on you directly."

Ping Feng's mouth was open, his words were vulgar, but they were straightforward, and Ju Nian blushed in embarrassment, "What are you talking about!"

"If you persuade me, I will also persuade you. In the year of Ju, people should be more realistic in their lives." Pingfeng said the truth in a weird way, but she said it sincerely, "We don't care about what happened before, I just accept this truth , look at him, he looks good, has money, has a good job, and the most important thing is that he is willing to hang around you. I know you are good, and you deserve such a person, but others don’t see it that way, right? Don’t be annoyed if you’re honest, you’ve been in prison in the eyes of others, and you’re not too young anymore, you won’t find someone like this again!”

Ju Nian smiled, "Didn't you say that you want me to find someone who has nothing to do with my past?"

"The question is do you have such a person?"

Ju Nian thinks of Tang Ye who is now in prison, and she has to admit that Ping Feng is right, she does not have such a person.

But why must there be someone by her side.

Ju Nian didn't want to delve deeper into this issue, so he casually said to Ping Feng: "He doesn't have time to take care of himself now, so he just came to me to complain."

"What's the matter with him? By the way, I remember that he was very interesting to you before, why is he gone now?" Pingfeng finally remembered Tang Ye.She is leaving, leaving her only friend behind, and she can only help Ju Nian scan any possible men around him.

Ju Nian smiled wryly: "He won't come anymore, the two of them are grasshoppers on the same rope after all."

"The one surnamed Han who just left, didn't you hear that his father is the president of the court? He should be quite powerful in the family. It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with it." Ping Feng lowered his head and scratched on the floor with his toes Then she pulled Ju Nian, sat down again, and asked, "Tell me, what happened to them?"

Ju Nian didn't expect her to be so interested in this issue and ask the bottom line, but after Pingfeng left, maybe she didn't even find anyone willing to ask the bottom line for her.She didn't want to get involved in the case of Han Shu and Tang Ye, but only learned the whole story from their narrative.So Ju Nian sighed, sat back beside Pingfeng, and talked to her briefly.Han Shu investigated the case of the Construction Bureau, and Tang Ye was involved in the case. Han Shu suspected that there was another mastermind behind the scenes, and he already had some evidence, but he had a dispute with his father because of this, and he was kicked out in the end.Han Shu was frustrated, his case was lost, his job had to be changed, and Tang Ye was bound to take the blame.

Ju Nian lightly stated the ins and outs of what he knew, trying his best to be a bystander without any emotion.But such an unexciting narration, Pingfeng listened unusually seriously.

In the end, Ping Feng was silent for a long time before saying: "It's not fair, why should a case mess up all the good men who finally appeared around you? Actually, it wasn't that bad in the first place, but Han Shu and his father intervened." First hand, this matter has nothing to do with him, why should he jump up and down, I don't think he is a good guy."

"Don't say that, anyway, these things are too complicated, how can we spectators see the inside story clearly." Ju Nian said, she thought, it's a good thing Han Shu didn't hear Ping Feng's nonsense about his father .She knew very well that although Han Shu had a lot of dissatisfaction with Dean Han, he still respected his father very much in his heart. He was so smart, but he never wanted to speculate on his father's strange behavior in this matter from a dark angle. And he would never allow anyone to insult Dean Han.

Pingfeng raised her voice an octave, "How can you be a spectator, Ju Nian, you are confused, this matter is related to your life's happiness, how many chances do you think you have? Tang is hopeless in the bureau, surnamed If Han really stumbles on this matter, he may not know what will happen in the future, you said that if there is no Dean Han, everything will be fine?"

Ju Nian listened to her innocent words angrily and amusedly.The stubborn Pingfeng, the occasionally extremely philistine and occasionally extremely emotional Pingfeng, her only friend, is leaving too.

The two said some endless nonsense that only sisters can have, and they each urged each other upside down.In the end, Ju Nian watched Ping Feng leave, and Ping Feng and Wang Nian, an unbelievable couple who firmly believe that they will be happy in the future, will they really be happy?

Pingfeng walked out of the courtyard gate of Ju Nian's house, and closed the door for Ju Nian with her backhand. Through the iron gate, she grinned and said to Ju Nian: "It is impossible for a person to be unlucky all his life. Ju Nian, you should have a good result." , me too. You trust me, everything will be fine."

Ju Nian smiled and nodded, she didn't know it at the time, this was the last sentence Ping Feng said to her.
