Chapter 110 [Little Enemies] (1)
Several people met again after a long time, and before they knew it, half a jar of wine had already been eaten. As they were old, they liked to recall the past. Old Hongtou talked about the past and recalled the interesting things of Yingzi and Luo Lie when they were childhood. Luo Lie and Yingzi added from time to time, and the three of them laughed happily from time to time. Although Dong Zhijun did not witness the scene of that year, he could truly feel the sincere love between them from the conversation.
After all, Lao Hongtou is old and can't drink much. After half a pound, he already feels drunk. He asked why Luo Lie came to Tianjin this time.
Luo Lie just said that he was passing by and just took time to visit the old man, and by the way, he wanted to see where he and his mother had lived.
Lao Hongtou nodded and said, "The house is still there, all is empty, nothing left. Let's go, I'll take you to see it."
He brought Luo Lie to his former residence with a lantern. The door was locked. It took Lao Hongtou a long time to find the right one from a large key. After opening the door and pushing it open, Luo Lie looked at it with the light. The room was indeed empty.
Lao Hongtou gave him the lantern and asked him to go in and look at it carefully.
Luo Lie walked into the room with a lantern. There was no furniture in the room. The light illuminated the wall. You could see many brush strokes on the wall. His eyes were fixed on one of them. It was two adults holding a child. Although the painting was awkward, when Luo Lie saw this painting, his eyes couldn't help but get wet. This was the family portrait he drew when he was a child. His father had no impression of him in his memory. I remember that at that time, he was bullied, and someone called him a mother who had no father's teachings. He was so angry that he fought with the children. Unfortunately, Yingzi found out that he was bullied and came to relieve him. He returned home with scars and drew this family portrait with a brush.
Some of the walls had peeled off, and Luo Lie's fingers slowly moved along the outline of the family portrait, and he remembered his mother.
The door was knocked gently, but Yingzi appeared in front of the door and whispered: "I have a photo of my aunt here."
Luo Lie took the yellowed photo from Yingzi. In the photo, his mother hugged him with one hand and the other. This was their only photo. Luo Lie looked at it for a while and returned the photo to Yingzi: "Sister Yingzi, you should keep it."
Yingzi nodded, carefully put away the photo, and looked at Luo Lie with love and said, "You must have suffered a lot over the years, right?"
"fine!"
Yingzi read about his strength from Luo Lie's eyes. In fact, when Luo Lie was young, he had already shown his super strongness and toughness, and no one could defeat him. Yingzi said: "Grandpa is so happy, drunk, I asked Dong Zhijun to serve him to sleep."
Luo Lie nodded, knowing in his heart that the old man is old, he raised his wrist and looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, I should go back too, otherwise my friend will be anxious."
Yingzi said: "So urgent?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I will stay in Tianjin for a few more days. Today I just come to recognize the door, so I will definitely come here again."
Yingzi nodded.
Luo Lie handed Yingzi a silver note, and Yingzi said in surprise: "What does it mean? Beagle, what do you mean?"
Luo Lie said: "Sister Yingzi, don't get me wrong. This money is not for you. I want you to do me a favor and help more children from poor families to study. Isn't this also Grandpa Hong's wish?"
Yingzi thought about it and finally took it over: "Okay, I'll collect it for you first." After looking at the amount above, the amount was as much as 2,000 yuan, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and said, "Are you getting rich? Didn't you do something illegal?"
Luo Lie couldn't help laughing: "Don't think about me badly, this money is absolutely clean." During the trip to Pale Mountain, he only received a part of the deposit from Ye Qinghong. As for the 90,000 ocean, he had not yet asked Ye Qinghong to collect it. For Luo Lie, money has no special meaning. He is not a person who wants to enjoy comfortably. Many times he thinks that he is an extremely contradictory person. He has wanted to live a life of peace and contentment, but when encountering things, he shows the stubbornness of never giving up and his nature is difficult to change. Perhaps his personality has been marked from his birth.
At this time, Dong Zhijun came over with a horse lantern, Luo Lie went out and smiled and said, "Brother-in-law!"
Dong Zhijun agreed happily, but encountered Yingzi's cold face, obviously complaining that he had interrupted the conversation with Luo Lie.
Dong Zhijun hurriedly explained: "The old man is already asleep, so I'll come and say."
Luo Lie said: "You guys talk, I'm about to leave."
Yingzi said: "I'll give you it!"
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "Don't send it to you. Grandpa Hong has drunk too much, so you should stay and take care of him."
Yingzi glared at Dong Zhijun and said, "You won't leave so late? Are you afraid that your mother will come over to scold you in the dark?"
Dong Zhijun smiled embarrassedly and said awkwardly: "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!"
Luo Lie wanted to refuse, Yingzi said, "It's so late, there's no rickshaw around here. It's still a long way to drive from West to where you live. He has a car and asks him to take you away."
Dong Zhijun nodded hurriedly.
Luo Lie looked at the scene of the couple, and probably couldn't solve the problem for a while. Since Dong Zhijun was determined to send him off, he couldn't help but disobey his kindness, so he nodded.
Dong Zhijun took the bicycle and went out with Luo Lie. Before leaving, Yingzi rushed over and stuffed him a cotton coat, and then left without looking back. Although she didn't say anything, she still cared about her husband in her heart. Dong Zhijun was moved with the cotton coat on his face. He put it on, and then smiled at Luo Lie and said, "Brother, I'm joking. Actually, your sister Yingzi is in good spirits."
"I know!" Luo Lie couldn't help laughing.
"It's good for me, too." Dong Zhijun quickly added.
Luo Lie laughed.
When he smiled, Dong Zhijun felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to ride a bicycle with Luo Lie, but Luo Lie suggested that he still take a walk. Although the snow stopped, the snow on the road had not been cleaned up yet, and such a road condition was not suitable for cycling.
Dong Zhijun was quite talkative, from the time he met Yingzi and talked until they got married. Although it was his first time meeting Luo Lie, he had heard Yingzi mention Luo Lie countless times in the past, so he felt a sense of intimacy with Luo Lie. He even said that Yingzi and his mother were incompatible.
Luo Lie also has a good impression of Dong Zhijun. It can be seen that Dong Zhijun attaches great importance to Yingzi, knows how to give in, and knows how to use some tricks. Of course, these tricks are also to make Yingzi change her mind as soon as possible. Dong Zhijun is also helpless in the current family situation. His parents are both traditional and conservative, but Yingzi is a new era woman with a lively and cheerful temperament. The conflict with his mother is actually a collision between two new and old ideologies. This situation is very common in today's society. In fact, the conflict was not that serious at the beginning. However, he and Yingzi had been married for three years and never had any children. When the old man saw that his daughter-in-law was unable to get pregnant, he naturally could not avoid nagging. Yingzi's hot temper could not stand this, so conflict became inevitable.
After talking about his own affairs, Dong Zhijun couldn't help but sigh and said, "Now, my mother doesn't say anything anymore, and she promised me to take Yingzi back for the New Year. However, your sister Yingzi is too stubborn and refuses to go back. She also said she wants to divorce me..." When she said this, Dong Zhijun's expression became more and more embarrassing. Although it was already the Republic of China and there were many divorce cases, most of those cases existed among the people who returned from studying abroad. In the eyes of most Chinese people, divorce is still extremely embarrassing, especially when the woman took the lead, the man would feel even more embarrassed. Dong Zhijun said this and it was hesitant, which proved that he did not regard Luo Lie as an outsider.
He looked at Luo Lie with anticipation and said, "Brother, I know Yingzi listens to you the most. Can you please help me persuade her?"
Luo Lie laughed: "Brother-in-law, I haven't seen Sister Yingzi for more than ten years. I don't know her temper now, but I can see that she still has feelings for you."
Dong Zhijun couldn't help but touch the cotton coat on his body, and then nodded vigorously.
Luo Lie said: "On the one hand, the conflict between old and new ideas is, on the other hand, it may be that you have no children of your own so far. There is an old saying in China that being unfilial is the greatest thing to be unfilial, but I think the biggest knot of the older generation lies in this."
Dong Zhijun nodded repeatedly and said, "That's not right, I wonder, what happened to Yingzi? I've been married for three years and my belly has never moved."
Luo Lie said: "According to the latest Western medical research, infertility is not just the cause of the woman, but a large part of it is caused by the man." He naturally looked to Yingzi deep down. Of course, he had to say a few fair words when he heard Dong Zhijun say this. It was not that he was willing to defend it, but because it was the fact.
Dong Zhijun blushed and said, "No, what does it have to do with men?"
Luo Lie said: "Don't believe it. I'll find some reports on this for you another day."
Dong Zhijun coughed awkwardly. After all, he had never left foreign countries and could not speak much about the so-called Western medicine, nor did he have the enlightened idea of Luo Lie. In his opinion, it was a bit embarrassing to discuss this matter. He quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, are you passing by or doing business in Tianjin this time?"
Luo Lieben didn't want to explain the details in detail, but suddenly remembered that Dong Zhijun worked in the German Concession Police Station. His news must be much more informative than himself, so he told the story of Xiao Taohong and his daughter being kidnapped, but what he said was the hijacking incident itself and did not mention his relationship with the Fang family. After all, he had no evidence at the moment.
After hearing this, Dong Zhijun nodded and said, "I can help with this matter. There are mixed places like the railway station, and people come and go, but because of this, there must be many witnesses at that time. I will ask for you."
