Lao Niu was whining after drinking too much. Zhang Yuanqing occasionally chimed in and drank more than half a catty with him.
When he stood up, Lao Niu staggered, but Lin Yu supported Zhang Yuanqing in turn: "Yuan Qing, I'll take you back to your room to rest. I'll see Lao Niu off later."
"No, no, no, I'll go back by myself, you guys are at home." Niu Shengqiang said, then waved his hands and walked away.
Zhang Yuanqing regained some clarity: "Old Niu, let's go out for a walk together. I have something to tell you."
Lao Niu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay."
Zhang Yuanqing left Lin Yu at home while he and Niu Shengqiang went out. After the two people went downstairs, each lit a cigarette.
Lao Niu put his arm around his shoulders, still immersed in the joy of turning over.
"Yuan Qing, I have been very frustrated in the past few years. I wanted to turn around, but I was stepped on by others. Especially Hong Quanxue, this bastard entered the TV station, and it was my father who led him. How did this guy do it at that time? He treated me like a brother, with all kinds of flattery. Once my father left, he suppressed me in every possible way and tried to force me to leave."
Lao Niu exhaled a heavy breath of smoke, with deep hatred in his eyes: "I have been suppressed by him for so many years, and I have tried many methods without success. This time, my biggest gain is to trample him down. Then One day when I saw his appearance, I felt so happy..."
Lao Niu shook his head, with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes: "It's worth it...it's really worth it..."
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly said: "Even if you let someone else sleep with your wife, is it still worth it?"
Niu Shengqiang's eyes suddenly condensed, and then he stared at Zhang Yuanqing.
Zhang Yuanqing's gaze was tit for tat with his.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Niu Shengqiang's expression became serious: "Yuan Qing, what do you mean by this?"
"Lao Niu, I sincerely regard you as a friend. In this city of Jiangbei, my relationship with you goes without saying. No matter what difficulties you have, if you find me, I will definitely help you. But you know what I am most taboo about, this person I am petty and I hate it when others plot against me."
Now that Zhang Yuanqing has spoken out, he is not afraid of falling out.
Zhang Yuanqing said: "What's going on between you and Lin Yu? Why do you want Lin Yu to live in my house? What you said before is totally unreliable. I just don't want to doubt you, but you said those words again tonight. Do you really take it seriously?" Have I already become so lustful and unconscious?"
Hearing Zhang Yuanqing's words, Niu Shengqiang's gaze slowed down: "Do you think I used my wife as a trap to trick you?"
"I hope not, but now I have to think so."
Zhang Yuanqing responded coldly.
Niu Shengqiang took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Yuan Qing, please touch your conscience. I, Lao Niu, may not be a good person sometimes, but have I ever felt sorry for you since I was a child?"
As soon as he said this, Zhang Yuanqing's expression paused and he didn't know what to say.
Indeed, the two had a good relationship when they were students. At that time, Zhang Yuanqing's family was poor, and Niu Shengqiang helped him a lot. There were even times when Zhang Yuanqing offended gangsters outside the school, but Niu Shengqiang still fought tooth and nail for him.
Later, when they went to college, the two separated, and their relationship naturally faded a lot. But after he returned to Jiangbei after graduation and the two reconnected, Niu Shengqiang had nothing to say about how good he was still.
When Zhang Yuanqing was looking for a job, Niu Shengqiang also used his father's connections. Otherwise, even if Zhang Yuanqing ranked first in the written examination and interview at that time, he might not be able to work in the municipal party committee office.
Niu Shengqiang asked again: "You have been working under Secretary Jin for almost a year, from section member to deputy section member. I am usually bullied by Hong Quanxue, have I ever forced you to help? Just this time, if you hadn't asked me Even if I were to receive a beating, I wouldn't have had such a chance. From the beginning to the end, have I ever taken the initiative to look for you?"
Niu Shengqiang's questioning made Zhang Yuanqing feel ashamed.
The reason why Zhang Yuanqing suddenly suspected Niu Shengqiang was because Niu Shengqiang plotted against Wu Wen and took the video. This move gave him a sense of crisis.
Coupled with the fact that Lin Yu lived in his own home, he in turn doubted what Niu Shengqiang was doing.
This suspicion was instantly shattered under Niu Shengqiang's questioning. Indeed, whatever Niu Shengqiang could do to him, he relied on these sentiments to do whatever he was asked to do.
It's not as if he deliberately sent his wife to his house and deliberately dug a hole for himself. It was just like taking off his pants and farting.
"Brother Niu, I..."
Zhang Yuanqing didn't know what to say for a moment.
Niu Shengqiang interrupted him: "I know your temperament. Even if I say this, you suppress your doubts now out of guilt, but you will still have doubts in the future.
We brothers are honest with each other. Since you asked me what is going on between me and your sister-in-law, come with me and I will tell you the real reason. "
Niu Shengqiang took Zhang Yuanqing home. Since the last time he invited Wu Wen to dinner, Zhang Yuanqing had not come over for several days.
There is obviously dust in the house. Now that Lin Yu is not coming back, Niu Shengqiang is used to being waited on. Without someone to clean it, the house looks a little messy.
Niu Shengqiang asked Zhang Yuanqing to sit in the living room. He went to the room himself. After waiting for a while, he took out a diagnosis certificate and medical records.
When he saw the medical certificate, Zhang Yuanqing's eyelids jumped and he remembered what Wu Wen said about Lao Niu's poor health. Could it be that he was really seriously ill?
But holding the diagnosis certificate in his hand, Zhang Yuanqing's expression became awkward: "How...how did you get this disease?"
It turned out that Niu Shengqiang actually had a heart disease, and it seemed that it was caused by looking for flowers and asking for help. According to medical records, he has been receiving treatment for more than two years.
Although Zhang Yuanqing doesn't understand what the disease is, he has not been cured of it after two years of treatment. You can imagine the troubles this disease can cause. Fortunately, it is not a disease like "Ai is fine" and it does not affect life.
Niu Shengqiang's old face turned red: "Young and frivolous!"
Zhang Yuanqing said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense to me. According to this time, you contracted this disease before you got married. You are about to marry such a beautiful wife. You don't cherish it, but you go out to play around and get into trouble." Already?"
Niu Shengqiang sighed: "The old man was still there at that time, and he followed a group of dudes to eat, drink, have fun and let himself go. Some time before I got married, they said they were taking me through my last single days, but something went wrong. In fact, I regret it very much now. It’s very difficult to cure, and you can’t live as a couple during the treatment, and I don’t know how many more years it will take.”
"Lin Yu knows about this?" Zhang Yuanqing suddenly understood why Lin Yu suddenly moved to his home.
Niu Shengqiang scratched his head: "I didn't know, but she was tricked last time and almost lost her virginity. She called me the next day, broke down, scolded me for not being a man, and made her a widow. Because I married her not long ago, I haven't touched her since.
I had always concealed it before because I was afraid that she would divorce me once she found out. But she was very emotional that day, so... I confessed. "
Zhang Yuanqing finally felt relieved and understood what was going on with these two people? I also understand why the two people live in a community across the street.
