Globe Trekker

Chapter 49 I am afraid
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. Auntie Fang suppressed all her worries and settled the child, and she was still thinking about the scene at the dinner party.

Fang Zhichun sat on the edge of the bed angrily, worried and angry at the same time, thinking left and right, but finally couldn't control the turbulent emotions, suddenly stood up and strode out of the room, came to Wu Ming's house and stretched out his hand to open the door.

Lu Kuiyuan and Lei Peng, who had just finished filling their stomachs, went to take a shower and did not come back. Wu Ming unbuttoned his shirt and was holding a gold chain under the light bulb to look carefully. He was quite surprised to see Fang Zhichun rushing in, so he threw the chain away. At the table, a few days ago, he picked up the thermos to make tea for her.

"Angry?" Wu Ming brought steaming hot tea to her.

Fang Zhichun raised his eyebrows in response: "Hmph! I'm full of nonsense, I've finally seen it. I'm afraid even this gold chain is fake, right?"

Wu Ming buttoned his coat, looked at the gold chain on the table, and was not angry: "The chain is real. I originally planned to buy a gold watch to fasten it. Who knows that there is no one in the watch shops all over the street that suits my needs, and it is too expensive, so I have to buy it." Isn't it popular to hang a gold chain to count?"

Fang Zhichun didn't know what to say to Wu Ming, so it took him a while to get angry: "I know you are helping us and spending a lot of money on us, but you can't talk nonsense and talk about a non-existent wedding date, what do you want me to do when it gets out? "

Wu Ming didn't expect Fang Zhichun's reaction to be so strong: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through, but please believe me, I didn't mean to take advantage of you at all, and I didn't even have the slightest intention of taking advantage of you. At that time, I just wanted to save you some trouble , Don't let that lecherous fly always get your idea, I didn't think too much, I guess these few words that make you unhappy will not be spread, although the two people surnamed Wang are cunning, but look at their appearance Not like a gossip."

"You really think so?" Fang Zhichun stared at Wu Ming suspiciously.

"I don't think so, what do you want me to think?" Wu Ming replied angrily.

This sentence annoyed Fang Zhichun again, if Mrs. Fang hadn't come in in time, maybe Fang Zhichun would get angry again.

"Xiao Wu, I still don't understand. You said that Mr. Hu Shi is your senior brother? Mr. Wu Tiecheng is your uncle? Is it true?"

Mrs. Fang sat down beside Fang Zhichun and looked at Wu Ming suspiciously. Fang Zhichun also raised her head curiously.

Wu Ming sighed helplessly, and pointed to the newspaper on the table: "There have been news about them in the newspapers for the past two days...Actually, I have nothing to do with them, it's just making up nonsense to scare people."

Fang Zhichun stayed for a while, took the newspaper and read it carefully, and found that there were indeed many news from the Nanjing Central Government, and the report on Hu Shi's attendance at the National Academic Conference in Shanghai. After reading it for a while, Fang Zhichun suddenly raised his head and stared at Wu Ming in disbelief: "So Come on, before going to the banquet, you have already prepared these nonsense?"

"Yes!"

Wu Ming was a little annoyed by the two women's reactions, so he knocked on the table slightly, and asked very seriously: "Since you have any objections to my doing this, please tell me, is there any more effective way than me lying? Don’t you still want to send money to redeem people? Haven’t you hit enough hard nails?”

"you……"

Fang Zhichun's expression changed when he was poor, and then he thought about it, this is really the case. If Wu Ming didn't have the bold style of pulling a tiger's skin to make a banner, he still doesn't know what it would be like now.

Sister-in-law Fang hurriedly smoothed things over, took Fang Zhichun's slender hand and sat down together, and said gratefully to Wu Ming: "I'm sorry Xiao Wu, Zhichun has a bit of a temper, and I don't have much experience in life. I have never experienced such a complicated situation since I was a child. So, after hearing so much from you, you won’t be able to turn around for a while, so don’t take it to heart.”

"Thank you, sister-in-law. If you hadn't helped set up the situation, we really don't know how to deal with these extortionate vampires, and let you spend 150 yuan for food. I feel very sorry, but I don't know how It's good to repay you."

"Let's not talk about it, sister-in-law, it's not easy for you. A woman with a big belly has traveled thousands of miles. After suffering so much and suffering so much, she still continues to run for her husband unswervingly. You are my best friend. Dear man! Compared with you, what is my little help? If you really want to thank me, stop talking about polite words and just treat me as your friend. To be honest, I am really envious Brother Fang, if I have a woman in the future, if she can have half the nostalgia and love of my sister-in-law and Brother Fang, I will not be in vain to come to this world." Wu Ming comforted me.

Tears welled up in sister-in-law Fang's eyes, and Fang Zhichun was moved. Wu Ming's ordinary words were nothing to put on other people, but on sister-in-law, in such a difficult situation before 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 get out of prison as soon as possible."

Sister Fang wiped away her tears, thought for a while and asked worriedly: "Do you mean what Section Chief Wang said?"

Wu Ming thought for a moment: "It's probably not a big problem. The man surnamed Wang patted his chest just now and made a clear promise. Although he can't fully believe it, a cunning person like him would not easily agree to anything. What's more, he not only agreed, but also said Accurate release time. Another one, I feel that he believes that I have a strong background, even if he doesn't fully believe it, he would not dare to provoke me at the risk of offending me... But it seems that he believed it, otherwise he would not Do not accept those two gold bars."

"You mean, in the end you took out the gold to test them?" Fang Zhichun calmed down and his mind began to light up.

Wu Ming smiled wryly and said: "It can be said that 20 taels of gold is not a small number. If I give it away, I will be penniless! Speaking of which, if they accept it, I will be very worried, because it shows that they are greedy. When it reaches the point of unscrupulousness, things will become even more troublesome!"

"Fortunately, they didn't accept me, which shows that they were really jealous of my identity, and worried that my appearance would be too ugly, and I would be retaliated by the forces behind me. After all, they are all serving officers, and they have to continue to earn a living in the army. They have to worry about themselves. It’s absolutely no good for anyone to do things.”

Fang Zhichun seemed to realize something, and then he raised his eyes to Wu Ming: "You are not very old, why are you full of conspiracies?"

Wu Ming was suddenly speechless, picked up the teacup and drank tea by himself, unwilling to look at Fang Zhichun again.

"Zhichun, how do you talk?" Mrs. Fang slapped Fang Zhichun's hand lightly, and seeing Wu Ming's unsightly face, she thought about it and asked with a smile, "Xiao Wu, how old are you this year?"

Wu Ming was taken aback for a moment: "Sister-in-law would ask this question after turning 24 to 25?"

"Have you got a sweetheart?" Mrs. Fang asked again, her eyes were full of concern.

Wu Ming laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I suggest you wait until Big Brother Fang comes out before caring about trivial things like this."

Sister-in-law Fang also smiled embarrassedly, but then said very sincerely: "Sister-in-law really wants to treat you as a younger brother. Since you sent me and my parents away from the bandit den, I have never treated you as an outsider, but I don't want you to be an outsider." Dare to speak out, I am worried that I am not worthy of a good brother like you... I am the only daughter in my family, and I have been looking forward to having a brother since I was a child..."

"Sister-in-law, don't do this."

Wu Ming went over to pick up the thermos, quickly poured hot water into the copper plate, tore off the towel and threw it in, rubbed it a few times, wrung it dry and brought it in front of Mrs. Fang.

Fang Zhichun, who was also crying with tears all over his face, took the towel to wipe away his sister-in-law's tears, and when it was over, he covered his face with the towel and wept bitterly. The great changes in the family situation, the warmth and coldness of people's hearts, and many ups and downs seemed to come to my heart at this moment .

After a long time, Mrs. Fang finally calmed down, stood up and told Wu Ming to rest early, and helped Fang Zhichun, who was crying into tears, back to her room.

That night, none of the people in the two adjacent rooms slept well.
