Chapter 416 Old Joe and His Neighbors

A fraud gang that was wandering around the country collapsed.

The reason is three young people.

When Liang Yudan found out, she praised her son all the time, and also praised her future wife and her son's good friends. She also told them that she would go to the United States immediately and would come to Hengming City for a few days. One is that some business matters need to be handled, and the other is that the police will testify.

Because I told my son not to come back in a hurry, I would have a few more days in Hengming City.

Brother Huanxi didn't want to come back in a hurry.

I have a bet with Lao Qiao.

Humph, he asked him to get two large pieces of gold from him last time, and this time he had to find a way to get it back no matter what.

I called Lao Qiao, but no one answered.

Did Old Qiao know that he was coming and hid?

Not that easy!

Your brother Huanxi can't just disappear like this.

If you call again, you still won't answer.

Not afraid, it is not that easy for you, Old Qiao, to hide from me.

You don't answer my phone? It doesn't matter, you forgot the address you gave me last time!

Not to mention Brother Huanxi, even Annie and Fatty Mo miss Lao Qiao a little.

How fun to be with this old Joe.

Open the navigation, enter the address left by Lao Qiao, and find it without much effort.

Si Nianyan Hotel, No. 126 Luhua Lane, Linghua Avenue, Hengming City.

This is a very old alley, and many houses have a big word "demolished".

It was already evening when it arrived. Many people put tables and chairs outside the house, eating side dishes and drinking wine.

Sometimes, people from the next door would come and take a piece of meat without hello and then send a piece of fish to the other party.

Such a life is absolutely impossible to see in high-rise buildings.

The roller shutter door of the hotel in Mi Nianyan is closed.

A man in his 50s walked to the smoke hotel. He bent down and opened the roller shutter door, pulled it up, and then shouted, "Old Song has a bottle of rice flowers, who else wants it?"

"I, I also want a bottle of rice flowers, and then I will wrap peanuts."

"I'll have two bottles of beer."

"It's done. I'll pay the money for you first, remember to give it to me later."

The man took out the wine and peanuts, took out a 100-yuan piece, and opened a tin box hidden behind the counter in a familiar way, put it in the whole ticket, and found change.

When I turned around, I was about to close the door when I saw Lei Huanxi and the other two: "What are you going to buy? If you don't buy it, I will close it."

"Ah, no need." Lei Huanxi touched his head: "Is this store yours?"

Could it be that Old Qiao is even bragging about this? It is obviously not his own cigarette hotel and insists on saying it is his own?

"No." The man was a little impatient: "You asked what you did so much."

"We are here to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Qiao Yuanfan."

"Old Qiao!" As soon as he heard this name, the man's attitude changed: "This store belongs to Lao Qiao. He often goes out, so he has a few keys for everyone, and we all have them. There is only such a cigarette hotel in this alley now. If we don't open the door, we have to cross the road to buy things. That's how inconvenient it will be. Old Qiao has thought of this way, and everyone wants to buy what they want to buy and get it. Just buy money and put it in."

Hey, this is OK?

This old Qiao is really lazy, but she really trusts these neighbors.

But it is certain that Lao Qiao is gone.

"Then where is he now?" Lei Huanxi asked tentatively.

“Hosted.”

"Ah? Hospitalized?"

"Yes, I've been staying for a week and my heart is not good." The man said this and hurriedly said, "But it doesn't matter, I'll be discharged the day after tomorrow. The big speaker is there to accompany me."

Big speaker?

Who is the loudspeaker?

Lei Huanxi and the other two were confused when they heard it.

"Are you his friends or relatives?"

"friend."

"I said, I have never heard of Lao Qiao's relatives." The man smiled: "Have you eaten yet, right? You're welcome, Lao Qiao's friend is our friend. My surname is Mu, and everyone calls me 'A Wutou'. Come and have dinner together. After dinner, I'll go to change the loudspeaker and I'll accompany you at night. Then take you to see Lao Qiao."

A Wutou and the neighbors were particularly enthusiastic. They put together a few tables and greeted Lei Huanxi and sat down.

Lei Huanxi, Annie, and Fatty Mo were not polite either. Especially Annie, who was so hungry, picked up the chopsticks and ate.

"This little girl is fun." The one named Lao Song smiled and said, "Even if such a delicate little girl doesn't dislike us old guys, she always worrys about hygiene when eating here, but look at the little girl, she doesn't care at all."

"I'm hungry, don't care." Annie stuffed a large piece of fish into her mouth: "It's delicious."

A group of neighbors laughed, and A Wutou smiled and said, "I remembered that time Lao Qiao came back and said that he met a group of children. It must be you. It seems that Lao Qiao did not brag this time."

"Old Qiao has been bragging?" Brother Huanxi suddenly became interested.

"No?" A Wutou sipped his wine: "Old Qiao loves bragging. Who doesn't know here? Today I told us what the United States is like, and tomorrow I told us what the United Kingdom is like, so he really has been there. Last time I asked him, how much does it cost to get a plane ticket to New York? He stammered for a long time and finally said it to us that the air tickets were bought by others for him, and he never looked at the price. I said, 'Old Qiao, you might as well say that it was a foreign beauty who bought it for you.' Guess how Lao Qiao answered? He said, 'Yes, how did you know?'"

The old guys at the table laughed like a lot.

Lao Song was overjoyed: "If this Lao Qiao really knows a foreign beauties, and still a bachelor until now, it's just that the loudspeaker can see him."

"Ah?" Anne, who was eating, suddenly became interested and developed a gossip spirit: "Uncle, let me tell us."

Anne is beautiful and sweet-mouthed, so these old guys simply told everything about Lao Qiao.

Lao Qiao is not a local, she moved to Luhua Lane more than 20 years ago.

I opened a cigarette hotel as soon as I arrived. I have been running it until now.

At that time, he was in his early 40s, handsome, and had a very handsome appearance. He knew everything from astronomy and geography. In addition, he was single, so he immediately attracted the favor of countless unmarried women in Luhua Lane.

The loudspeaker is one of them.

The big trumpet is nicknamed. Its real name is Liu Cai'e. She was only 25 years old at that time. She looked pretty good, but her personality was a bit stingy. As soon as she saw Lao Qiao, she told people that she had fallen in love with this man.

Regardless of the big difference in age between the two parties, he personally went to Lao Qiao's shop to betroth him.

Old Qiao refused.

Later, the loudspeaker tangled Lao Qiao for three years, but Lao Qiao never agreed.

I saw that I was running 30 and got married in anger.

On the day of the wedding, Lao Qiao also went there and gave him a thick bride gift.

I heard from Dalabo’s best friend that Dalabo cried that day.

Da Laba was not in a good life. I found a man who only knew how to play with women. After a few years, I was caught and raped by Da Laba again. The two had a big fight and divorced. The daughter was raised by Da Laba.

During that period, the speaker had a very difficult time and was always supported by Lao Qiao.

Everyone thought they could reunite. Unexpectedly, Lao Qiao's gang returned to the gang, but his relationship was not vague. Once he drank too much and told A Wutou:

"I sympathize with Dalabo, but I don't love her. I have a woman I love in my heart. I have always loved her for the rest of my life, no matter what happens. Even if I'm about to die after thirty or fifty years, I still have only one her in my heart."

This later reached Da Laba's ears, and Da Laba completely gave up. She said to A Wutou:

"You go and tell Lao Qiao that I am convinced of such a man. I am really convinced. I envy the woman he loves so much. I can't be Lao Qiao's woman in this life, so I will be his girl. He has no relatives. I, a girl, will take care of him for the rest of my life!"

This is the story of Dalabo and Lao Qiao.

"Old Qiao is a man who likes to brag, but other aspects..." Lao Song gave a thumbs up: "I didn't say anything, no one in Luhua Lane doesn't agree with him. If anyone is suffering from disaster and has difficulties, I don't say anything, Lao Qiao will help you lose everything. Lao Caipi, tell these children."

Lean and thin, nicknamed Lao Caipi, took a sip of wine: "That year, my son was seriously ill and had no money. Our whole family was so anxious that he wanted to hang himself. The old guys helped to raise money, but they were not rich, and the medical expenses were far from being broken. Lao Qiao disappeared for a few days. When he came back, he put a box in front of me, 'Go to see my eldest nephew'. When I opened it, it was full of money. 150,000, and 150,000. You may not sound much now, but this happened 18 years ago. If it weren't for the 150,000, my son wouldn't have lived now!"

Fatty Mo was curious when he heard this: "Where did Lao Qiao get 150,000?"

"I know this." A Wutou sighed: "He used to have a piece of jade hanging around his neck, which is very valuable. I have played with jade before, and I could tell at a glance that it was something from the Tang Dynasty. But after he came back that time, the jade was gone. Where do you think this money came from?"

Lei Huanxi, Annie, and Fatty Mo looked at each other.

Cheng, Lao Qiao, you Cheng, good example!

Even if you lose this time, your brother Huanxi will not ask you to get back the two large pieces of gold. Brother Huanxi can guess without thinking about it, you must have used these two pieces of gold to do serious things.

"He can help in this alley." Lao Song pointed to the alley: "So this time he was sick, everyone agreed to discuss money and everyone took turns to take care of it every day. Lao Qiao has no relatives, but we are all his relatives! If this relative in his family is sick, who will we take care of if we don't take care of it?"

Brother Huanxi finally knew what kind of person Lao Qiao was.

A person who can be loved by so many people, even though he has some bragging problems, can be tolerated!
