Chapter 102 Ask(1/2)
It's a visitor, right?
After the three people of the Dong family were stunned, a thought flashed across their heads at the same time, and they ignored what they heard.
And Madam Dong had one more thought than others.
"It's that little lady." She whispered.
"Which one?" Xiang Qi didn't understand.
"She is the guest lady who was sent out by Brother Xu on the day I met Brother Xu." Madam Dong said.
It's probably a woman's nature to have a strong involuntary impression of people of the same sex, especially those who are younger and more beautiful than herself.
Xiang Qi looked at it again, but he had no impression. He was only frightened by the sudden encounter with Xu Maoxiu that day. He was so restless that he didn't pay attention to the people around him at all.
Shopkeeper Wu has already greeted him.
"Who are they?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
Madam, have you forgotten?
Banqin hurriedly took a step forward.
"That day in the restaurant, I was an old acquaintance of Mr. Sanlang." She reminded in a low voice.
Cheng Jiaoniang said oh and stepped over.
"What do you want to say to me?" she asked, looking at Mrs. Dong.
Madam Dong was stunned for a moment.
"I didn't say I was looking for you, I said I was looking for the owner here," she said.
"I am the boss here." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Madam Dong was surprised, and Master Dong and Xiang Qi also looked over in surprise.
Is this little lady the boss?
She must be the owner here.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
"Does what you say work?" Madam Dong asked, putting aside her surprise.
Mr. Dong stopped her and stood up to salute Cheng Jiaoniang.
"This lady, we are fellow countrymen of Fan Jianglin, Xu Maoxiu and others," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang bowed and returned the courtesy.
"I know they have committed a crime this time, and I am worried about them, so I dare to ask them. I don't know what will happen to them." Mr. Dong continued.
"Then ask the government. I don't know what the crime of deserting is." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
What does this mean?
Mr. Dong's expression changed slightly, while Mrs. Dong could no longer hold back her temper.
"It's you who provoked the enemy, why should Brother Xu and the others be made the scapegoats?" she shouted.
"Perhaps I am not the one who provoked this matter." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Master Dong and his daughter, Xiang Qiwen's heart couldn't help but beat twice when he heard these words.
"It's ridiculous. Brother Xu and the others have no relatives in the capital. If they didn't bear the trouble for you, who else could they be for?" He couldn't help but step forward and said.
These words made Madam Dong very happy.
"This is like what a man says and does. In the past, he always shrank back, and those who didn't know thought I was a man." She said, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang, "Yes, why was Brother Xu arrested? You
I understand in my heart!”
The little lady in front of me is quite beautiful, but she looks a little dull no matter how she looks at her.
Especially after hearing herself say these words, her eyes remained motionless again, just looking at herself.
Is there anything wrong with praising your own man?
Mrs. Dong was a little uncomfortable with her. She thought that she was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl when she first met Brother Xu. Now it has been ten years, her beauty has aged, and her youth is no longer...
"Oh, you are that couple." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Did you recognize them just now?
Sure enough, there is no one in the eyes of noble people...
Just when Mrs. Dong was about to speak, Cheng Jiaoniang had already nodded.
"Have you known each other for a long time?" she asked, "Countrymen? Old friends? Relatives and friends?"
Mrs. Dong was called back by Mr. Dong.
"I and the eight brothers are fellow villagers." Mr. Dong said, "And Xu Maoxiu has been a life-saving grace to my family. Six years ago, I left Maoyuan Mountain with my family and settled in the capital."
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and turned to Madam Dong.
"You admire Xu Maoxiu, why didn't you marry him?" she asked suddenly.
Everyone who asked this question was stunned.
Mrs. Dong's face turned even scarlet.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiang Qi said.
"I'm not talking nonsense, every word, every action, every move she makes speaks." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking at Mrs. Dong.
My affection for him can no longer be hidden from others, can anyone see it?
Then why can't he see it?
No, it's not that he can't see it, it's that he doesn't like it...
"Yeah, so what, it's not a shameful thing. I admire Brother Xu, what's wrong with him looking down on me?" Mrs. Dong's face turned pale, she bit her lower lip and said sharply.
"Eight brothers? Where is the other one?" Cheng Jiaoniang ignored her, turned to Master Dong and asked.
Madam Dong was left hanging on the spot, a piece of cloth clogging her heart almost suffocating her.
This woman!
Xiang Qi's heart beat faster.
Why are you asking this suddenly? Did she guess something?
Somehow, the little lady in front of him was dull and dumb, and she spoke slowly and slowly, but it made him feel as if his neck was being slowly strangled by a pair of hands, getting tighter and tighter...
"It's me," he said, taking a step forward. "Although our brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, our friendship remains the same. Now they have caused this misfortune, and I will not stand by and watch."
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him.
"You." she said.
When these two light words came into his ears, Xiang Qi felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on him. At that moment, he could hardly stand still.
What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of?
There is no evidence, and besides, now that the government has confirmed the crimes of those seven people, there is no way they can be blamed on him.
Xiang Qi stood up straight again, facing Cheng Jiaoniang's gaze without giving in.
Cheng Jiaoniang turned around and stopped looking at him at this moment.
"What do you want from me?" she asked, looking at Mr. Dong.
Is this woman mentally ill?
What are you doing with a hammer and a stick here and there!
It’s so scary!
Xiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam, I have no other purpose in coming this time." Mr. Dong said, "I just want to say that I hope to save the lives of Fan Jianglin and the others. We can't spare any other effort. If you need money, we will give it to you."
."
Cheng Jiaoniang glanced at him and nodded.
"Okay." she said.
Hearing her promise, Mr. Dong didn't have any joy on his face. This woman agreed so easily and happily, how could she be sincere at all!
In the eyes of these people, Xu Maoxiu, Fan Jianglin and others are really insignificant.
I can only think of another way. Anyway, coming here to let the people in Taiping know that Xu Maoxiu and others are not alone and helpless, and that there are people who care about their lives will achieve the goal.
Mr. Dong stood up to say goodbye, but was suddenly stopped after walking a few steps.
"I haven't asked you your names yet," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
This woman is really sick! Why are you so startled?
Xiang Qi pressed his heart, and the sound almost burst out of his chest and jumped out.
To be continued...
