Even though Sister Qiao was just a rough maid in the Zhong Mansion, Master Zhong Ai had favored her for a few years and had slept with Master Xun. Think highly of yourself. Not long after I started working, I became tired of the work and started to have other ideas.
Sister Qiao didn't know where she found out that Agui was now a policeman and that there were "respectable" people in the city. So while Zhao Gui was on duty outside, he came to see him again and said that he wanted to "be a long-term couple" with him.
For Agui, Sister Qiao is his "goddess". Now that the "goddess" has condescended to be "husband and wife" with him, he has long been overjoyed. Within a few days, I was obsessed with all sorts of things. Not only was she excited to make preparations, but she was also preparing to use the money to buy a house for Sister Qiao and buy property to live her life.
Li Ziyu was busy with work and could not take care of these things. Fortunately, Li Ziyu's mother often chatted with Zhao Gui on weekdays. Zhao Gui also treated her like a half-mother, and even deposited his salary with Mother Li. Now that he was about to get married, he told his mother Li's "life-long events" in detail.
Mother Li knew there was a ghost here as soon as she heard it. After all, she was a woman of many years and the most sophisticated person in the world. She killed A Gui's energy in just a few words.
She knew that it would be impossible to say that Sister Qiao was trying to "cheat money", so she said that Sister Qiao was first taken over by Mr. Zhong, and later became Master Xun's plaything. During this period, she was played by many men, and her reputation had long been ruined. He, Agui, is now a "policeman" under the command of the dignified Senate, and his status is unusual. Even if he is not afraid of embarrassing himself, the Senate cannot afford to lose face.
As soon as Agui heard that it would "lose the face of the Senate", he became frightened. Besides, he was quite tired of Sister Qiao's erotic past. In the past, he was poor and helpless, and he would be overjoyed if Sister Qiao would give him a smile; now that he is a "nouveau riche" under the senate, he will naturally start to care about her.
As for Sister Qiao, she really wanted to find a suitable "long-term meal ticket" and live a serious life. Although Agui doesn't look very good-looking, she has a good living, and there are no parents-in-law to control and serve her at home. Thirdly, she is an honest person, so she can live comfortably after marriage.
Unexpectedly, Agui, a "dog licker" who was looked down upon by her in the past, would now look down on her. This greatly shocked Sister Qiao. If one plan fails, another one will be devised. So she pretended that she was "unlucky" and only asked Agui to take care of her because of her past relationship. Faced with the humbleness of the "goddess", Agui naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
So Sister Qiao often lamented her bitter experience in front of Agui, saying that the work in the clothing cooperative was too hard, and she wanted to start a small business on her own, but she just had no capital...
This Sister Qiao has always been the object of Agui's fantasy. To be honest, she is quite pretty. She is getting older and knows how to show off her coquettishness. It didn't take long for Li Ziyu's mother to smell the danger again: Agui didn't give her salary for two months in a row. When asked about Agui, he said that the latest salary would be delayed. She immediately asked her son and found out that this was not the case. She "interrogated" Agui again, and then she found out that Agui had given all her wages and subsidies in the past few months to Sister Qiao, saying that he would "help her open a small shop to make a living."
Li Ziyu learned about this from her mother, and immediately called Agui for careful questioning. This question was serious. Agui not only gave his salary and subsidies to Sister Qiao, but also borrowed a lot of money from an acquaintance in the bureau. A small amount of money, including Gao Chongjiu, owed a total of more than 20 yuan to his colleagues in the bureau.
"You idiot!" Li Ziyu couldn't help scolding Agui when he found out, "How dare you borrow so much money with only two and a half yuan a month! Everyone earns a few salaries to support their families. ! Why don’t you do this then?”
"Sister Qiao said that when the shop is opened... it makes money... and when it is earned, it will be paid back..." Seeing Li Ziyu's excitement, Agui knew that this was wrong, "In the end, my money will be..."
"You're confused! Do you still expect her to pay back the money?!" Li Ziyu stamped her feet and beat her chest, "What kind of shop does she open?"
"Tailor's shop. Small business."
"Where is it?"
"Just say it's in the north of the city."
"address?"
"have no idea……"
Li Ziyu almost fainted. She had never seen such a confused person before: "Then have you ever thought about going to the shop she owns?"
"Busy with work..."
Li Ziyu wanted to slap her, but he could barely hold back the anger in his heart and said, "Have you ever thought that she didn't open a store at all?"
"Huh? No way. She said she was tired from working in a clothing company and wanted to open a tailor shop and do it herself."
"Do you need so much money to open a tailor shop?" Li Ziyu said with a helpless smile, "It only costs one yuan a month to rent a shop on the big market street that can open a decent small shop. You have paid me so much." She spends more than thirty yuan, which is enough to buy a shop!"
Agui whispered: "I believe her, but...it won't be possible."
"You really became a police officer for nothing!" Li Ziyu kicked him in anger, "Let's go find Sister Qiao."
Unexpectedly, Sister Qiao heard from Agui the day before that Li's mother was interrogating him about his failure to turn over his income, and she had already fled. The supervisor and colleagues of the clothing club didn’t know where they were. When asked if she had opened a shop, no one heard about it.
At this time, Agui finally understood that Sister Qiao was not borrowing money at all, but cheating him.
When looking for someone, naturally he can’t be found. With Sister Qiao's knowledge, she certainly knows the consequences of deceiving someone from the public family. Li Ziyu was afraid that the matter would be exposed and would be detrimental to Agui's future, so she did not report the case. Instead, she quietly asked Gao Chongjiu to use an informant to inquire secretly. Only then did he find out that Sister Qiao had left the city on the day of the incident and fled.
Of course, there is no way of knowing where Sister Qiao went. However, Gao Chongjiu said that Sister Qiao must still have a "wild man".
"... How dare she run away alone as a woman? Aren't she afraid of being robbed on the way? Someone must have ordered help. I think this matter, brother Agui, even if he learned a lesson, don't make any more announcements. ”
If you spread the word, you may not be able to catch people. Even if Zhao Gui's reputation is tarnished, Li Ziyu will also suffer. Even if the person can be caught, the money cannot be recovered.
Li Ziyu also knew that this was the best solution. Li Ziyu helped pay back part of the money he owed his colleagues, and the rest could only be paid back month by month from A Gui's salary. Unexpectedly, Agui could never let go: firstly, he felt sorry for money, and secondly, after listening to Gao Chongjiu's words, he felt that Sister Qiao must not have meant to coax him, but must have been coerced by someone. He always asked Li Ziyu for help to "rescue Sister Qiao from the fire pit". It made Li Ziyu dumbfounded.
Hearing that he was talking about this matter again, Li Ziyu sighed helplessly: "Agui, why are you so obsessed! It's obvious that Sister Qiao is pretending to be a dove to defraud money. But you didn't do it at the beginning. I was fooled; so later I talked about opening a tailor shop - and you don’t even think about it, how many women open shops alone?"
"Isn't that Miss Dong?"
Li Ziyu had nothing to say for a moment, so she paused and then said: "Then she also has Dong Xiang and his wife outside, as well as elders to help her. Who does this Sister Qiao have?"
"She has me."
"You cut the line!" Li Ziyu almost got angry, but then he thought about it, Agui was confused, but he was kind. I just got scammed by bad guys. Thinking of this, he sighed. His mother told him that he should introduce a marriage to Agui as soon as possible. If he has a wife at home, he will not have random thoughts.
"Agui, please don't mention this matter about Sister Qiao again in the future. I will help you keep an eye on it. But don't mention it again!" Li Ziyu whispered, "It's not good for you or me if this matter spreads. I understand. Already?"
"But I still have debts. If you help me pay them off, I won't feel sorry for you."
"Anyway, your salary is given to my mother. As long as you work hard, are you afraid that you won't be able to pay it back? Don't mention these things again!"
"Yes." Agui responded, but it was obvious that he was unhappy. Li Ziyu also felt a little intolerable. Agui has been living in his house for a long time these days, and the affection between the two of them is no worse than that of several of his childhood friends. His mother also told him: Agui is a kind person, treat him well, and he will definitely be able to help the Li family in the future. Then he said something irrelevant and changed the subject.
The two walked all the way back to Li Ziyu's home.
Li Ziyu still lives in an old house - it used to be where Guangzhou Guard families lived. Most of the military households living here are military officials with eighth-grade experience and above from the former Guangzhou guards. These people either fled or were "purged" during Hong Kong's reorganization, and their families also moved to Taiwan, Kaohsiung and other places. The rest were also incorporated into the National Army and assigned to other stations.
Those who can stay are those who have gained a place in the new regime. Li Ziyu's family is one of them. The vacant courtyard is now occupied by cadres from the northbound detachment who came from Hainan.
Next door to Li Ziyu's house is his uncle's mansion. After his uncle's family fled and were killed, his uncle's mansion was "nationalized" and is now one of the municipal government's dormitories. Regarding this matter, Li Ziyu knew that her parents had many complaints and felt that the mansion should belong to her family.
However, the Australians took it away, and they did not dare to question it - after all, their son was now on an errand for the Senate. Fortunately, the Li family has a small population. In addition to the three of them, there is the resident Agui and two old servants. Originally, Li's mother thought about whether to buy or hire a strong woman to work as an errand, but Li Ziyu said that using servants would be bad, and besides, there were already servants at home. It is enough to live in the yard from the front and back.
The person who answered the door was the old servant at home. Li Ziyu asked: "What's going on at home? My mother is anxious to call me back?"
"It's relatives from the north who are here." The old servant took the police knife he took off, "Master, please go in quickly."
Li Ziyu was stunned. His family has lived in Guangzhou for a long time. Although he has relatives in the north, they are mostly distant relatives. We rarely interacted with each other in the past, and now that we are in the war, we have even lost contact with each other. Why did he come suddenly?
