Back to 70s: My husband, you are under arrest

Chapter 246: Being Tracked Again

Ning Qing got up and stood in a safe place, watching Shen Zhongguo being beaten up several times by Aunt Liu, covering his face, always feeling sorry for this young man.

She hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two of them away, and patted Aunt Liu's ups and downs on the back, "Auntie, you said you missed Zhong Guo a second ago, and you finally came back, so don't be angry."

Shen Zhongguo looked at Ning Qing gratefully, and begged for mercy: "Mom, there is a reason why I didn't come back this time, and I didn't mean to lie to you."

Aunt Liu's anger has been relieved a lot after those few slaps, she glared at her son angrily, and looked at her prospective daughter-in-law guiltily.

"Fen Fang, I'm sorry, this brat has been unreliable since he was a child, and I've wronged you this time."

Even though Cui Fenfang saw Aunt Liu beating her son during the Chinese New Year, she was still frightened and responded weakly by shaking her head.

"Auntie, Zhong Guo was injured this time, so we only went back a month."

She weakly stretched out a finger.

Aunt Liu's eyes shrank, she turned her head dryly, looked her son up and down, saw that there was still a wound on his forehead, and pretended to be calm.

"Lie down for a month?"

Shen Zhongguo asked this sentence.

Shen Zhongguo gave a relaxed smile, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Almost, after I got better, I hurried back with Fenfang."

"You, why didn't you say it last month?"

"Aren't I not going to make you worry? I can get a promotion this time when I go back, maybe I can be transferred back."

Aunt Liu didn't have high expectations for promotion or anything, so she said casually and looked at Ning Qing who was beside her.

"Xiao Qing, I'll take this kid to the military hospital for a check-up tomorrow, are you on duty tomorrow?"

"Well, I'll leave you a number."

"Okay, let's go back first, these two must have not eaten."

Ning Qing said goodbye to Aunt Liu's family with a smile, turned around and went back to the bank in the town with the 50 yuan she prepared a few days ago.

After she sent the money, she felt that someone was following her, just like the previous few times.

Ning Qing looked around vigilantly, and there was nothing unusual about the people walking around.

She paid attention to continue walking, the feeling of being watched appeared again!
She turned around suddenly, Shen Mengya, who was following her behind her, couldn't dodge, and stood there dryly, feeling a little helpless for a while.

Ning Qing asked in surprise, "Mengya?"

Could it be that Shen Mengya was the one who followed her these few times?What does she want to do?
Shen Mengya forced her chest out, "That's right, it's me."

"Why are you following me?"

"I, I see that you have gone to the bank and come here every month to pick up books and buy a lot of disposal cloth."

Ning Qing frowned and said defensively, "Is there any problem?"

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything malicious, and I don't even want to know, where did you pick up the books?"

"Then... what do you want to do?"

"I've been poor recently, my father won't let the guards put me in, I can't get in touch with my mother, please, please..."

She couldn't utter the following words.

Ning Qing asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you want me to help you send a message to Aunt Liu?"

Well, if it's just a little thing?Wouldn't it be enough to just stop her? Why do you want to follow her?
Shen Mengya shook her head, and finally her heart broke, "I, I, I have observed you these past few months, and you seem to be quite rich, can you lend me some money?"

"money?"

Ning Qing's voice increased a few degrees.

Shen Mengya nodded embarrassingly, "I've been a little short these past few months, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back after these two months."

She just wanted to go to the black market to buy some food, but the family's money was used for gambling by the family, and the children had nothing to eat.

Ning Qing thought about it for a while, and said apologetically, "Mengya, I don't have any money. I just went to the bank once and sent 50 yuan to the parents of Captain Lu. Not much, and now there is only enough left for us to live on."

Seeing that Shen Mengya's expression was gradually distorted, she added: "If you don't believe me, you can ask the bank. You should know more or less how much the current position and subsidy of Captain Lu are."

Shen Mengya grew up in a military compound, and his father also climbed up from that position, of course he knows.

She calculated in her mind, and reluctantly believed Ning Qing's words, and she became a little disappointed.

This is her last resort. The child is going to starve to death. Everyone in the family can help.

Seeing her slumped smile, Ning Qing let out a long sigh, "This is the only dollar I have left."

Shen Mengyayan was grateful in his heart, and almost knelt down to Ning Qing, "Sister-in-law, I will remember your kindness."

A dollar is quite a lot!At the very least, the food exchanged for these money can last for a while.

Ning Qing saw that the former proud girl was so lonely now, she wanted to persuade her, but she didn't say anything, she just shook her head, said no thanks, turned and walked towards the army.

……

While cooking at night, Ning Qing, who was cooking, glanced at Captain Lu who was helping, and coughed lightly twice.

"Captain Lu, when I went to the town to send money today, I met Meng Ya."

Without raising his head, Lu Qingyao asked casually, "What's the matter? I heard your tone is not very good."

"It's not very good. She's living...a little lonely now."

"How lonely."

Lu Qingyao handed over the cut vegetables in his hand, and asked as he leaned to the side and watched his daughter-in-law cooking.

"I can't tell you that, she borrowed money from me."

"You borrowed it?"

Ning Qing shook her head and nodded again, "I have already sent 50 yuan today. She works in the bank, and she can find out if she wants to check the records. At this time, it is best not to reveal her wealth and be poorer, and I will not agree."

She directed her husband to take the pot, and breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought, Aunt Liu took such good care of our family, I would never watch her daughter suffer, and after thinking twice, I handed over a dollar."

"Oh, what did she say afterwards?"

"Just thank me, what else can I say? I just think that Meng Ya can come back to look for Mr. Shen, why does she have to suffer outside?"

Lu Qingyao nodded to his daughter-in-law, and said helplessly, "Have you forgotten? When we first got married, Meng Ya came back to see the teacher many times, asking for money and tickets without saying a word. Later, the child was supposed to be in confinement. At the teacher's house, she was coaxed back by her husband within a few days."

"Of course I remember. Later, Mengya and the teacher had a big fight. But how can parents and children have an overnight feud? When you come back, bow your head and admit your mistake. Teacher Shen doesn't seem like a person who is talking about old scores."

Head Lu sent out the fried dishes to Jianshe who came in, and turned his head to look at his wife.

"I remember when I first came here, the teacher beat Mengya once. Mengya ran out because of a word from the teacher. Later, Aunt Liu ran around in a hurry and sent us out to look for it for three days before finding it."

After a pause, the man stated a fact, "Meng Ya is a stubborn, self-respecting person, she will not bow her head, and the teacher will not bow her head."

"How did you know?"

"At the beginning, when the division commander used the military law to deal with his eldest daughter, I was the one who enforced it."

Lu Qingyao still gasps when he recalls the scene at that time——

Because of that incident, the teacher almost lost his wife and daughter.

Suddenly, Meng Ya's voice sounded, "Mom, someone is looking for you."
