But she didn't really jump into the river again, which made Zou Hongxuan's nervous mood calm down again. Zou Hongchun changed the Hangzhou dialect into Mandarin and asked her why she wanted to commit suicide. She did not answer immediately, but stood up, soaked all over, walked a few steps forward, took down a handbag hanging from a willow tree by the river, and still cried to Zou Hong, who was standing in front of her. Said, I can't go home, I just want to die, you shouldn't save me.
What are you talking about? I should save you. Tell me, why are you doing this? Zou Hongzhen stared at her and asked.
The woman still didn't answer. She reached out to open her handbag, pointed at the three banknotes inside, and cried sadly for a while.
Zou Hongshan roughly understood. What the woman meant was that her family sold a few pigs to the slaughterhouse, and the cashier gave her counterfeit money when checking out. After finding out, she went to look for it, but the cashier refused to admit it. If these counterfeit money could not be exchanged, If she makes real money, her parents-in-law will complain about her and even encourage her son - her husband to divorce her. The woman couldn't think about it for a while and committed suicide.
At this moment, some people came one after another to watch the excitement. The street lamps on the river bank exude a faint luster, projecting people's figures on the ground but thickly.
Zou Hongxi said, it's not worth it for you to jump into the river just for this matter. It doesn't matter, just give me these counterfeit coins and I'll exchange them for real money.
The woman looked at her with wide eyes, as if she didn't believe it. She reached out to touch the counterfeit coins in her handbag and said word for word, "I don't know you, how can I harm you?" Then he zipped up the chain in his handbag. Zou Hongxuan smiled slightly and said, I did this voluntarily, does it count as you harming me? You follow me into the city, and I'll call a car to take you home.
The woman saw that Zou Hongxian looked sincere and didn't look like he was telling lies, so she believed him. After entering the city, Zou Hong went to a clothing store to buy a new set of blue casual clothes for the woman to change into. After leaving the store, she asked the woman the number of counterfeit coins in her handbag, and then opened her own. He held up a blue leather satchel and handed it to her 3,760 yuan. The woman actually took out the counterfeit money in her handbag and handed it to Zou Hongxian, but he didn't want it.
Then she hailed a taxi from the roadside to take her back to the town, where she had her own grocery store. When she got into the taxi, the woman looked at Zou Hongchun and said, Benefactor, what is your name? Where to live? Zou Hong didn't say anything and just smiled. The woman continued to ask, and he just said one sentence. If you have anything to do in the past two days, you can go to the jewelry chain store in the city to find me.
That woman was Pei Yan. It was already a standard night when she drove back to the town. Except for the streets with street lights, it was like daytime. Everything outside the streets was dark.
If Pei Yan went directly back to the village during the day, she could only go to the grocery store owned by her family. She actually didn't want to go there because she was in charge of the store not long ago. She gave the wrong money to the customer due to selling goods, and her father-in-law found out She was so annoyed that she asked her son, Pei Yan's husband Hong Fafu, to replace her. She was not even allowed to work as a helper, and another clerk was hired as a helper in the grocery store.
As a result, Pei Yan's self-esteem was hurt and her self-confidence was frustrated. She was particularly reluctant to go to the grocery store, as if she had been bitten by that incident. She had the habit of being bitten by a snake once and fearing ropes for ten years. The taste of fear.
Now she was walking towards the grocery store in front, which was forcing her to go, and she felt helpless. As she approached the grocery store, a clerk was closing the door. She quickly shouted, "Oh, don't close the door."
It's so late. If you want to buy something, come tomorrow! The waiter didn't know Pei Yan at all, so he said something coldly and continued to close the store door.
Pei Yan went over and knocked on the door, still shouting, "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, I am Pei Yan..."
Pei Yan heard Hong Fafu's voice inside - Xiao Yang, open the door.
As the store door opened, Hong Fafu, who was standing inside, greeted Pei Yan who stepped into the store and said, "Why did you come to the store so late? What's the matter?"
Can't tell in one sentence. I'll tell you later. Pei Yan combed her hair, which was about to be dried, and spoke as if she was lying.
Hong Fafu said "hmm" and pointed at Pei Yan to introduce to the guy, "Xiao Yang, she is my wife (i.e. wife)."
The waiter glanced at Pei Yan and said in an apologetic tone, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Boss Hong's wife. As he spoke, he closed the opened door of the shop.
Hong Fafu said, "There is no need to close it. Let us leave before we close it." The guy said "Ah" and opened the door again. It was expected that the couple was going to leave, because there was only one house behind the grocery store with two shops. He and Hong Fafu usually lived separately. Now, his wife was here and it was difficult for him, an outsider, to rest.
Hong Fafu took out a flashlight in the shop, turned on the beam of light, and took a photo from top to bottom of a new set of blue casual clothes worn by Pei Yan, saying, "Did you buy new clothes today?"
Pei Yan smiled at him and said I didn't buy it. Hong Fafu was surprised. He used to accompany her to buy clothes, so he asked puzzledly, "Who bought it for you?"
Pei Yan didn't answer, she just opened the bulging handbag she was carrying and pointed to a pile of soaked clothes wrapped in a plastic bag for Hong Fafu to see. Before Hong Fafu understood, she explained that my clothes were wet and couldn't be worn. Hong Fafu didn't understand even more. He said that wet clothes could not be worn and should be washed at home. How could he stuff them into his bag? Where have you been today? Pei Yan still said the same thing, I will tell you later.
When the waiter heard this, he felt that she was hindering his presence, so he told Hong Fafu knowingly, "Boss Hong, I will leave the store and walk on the street for a while. You and your wife can sit down and talk!"
Hong Fafu stopped him and said, "You can't leave. You have to keep an eye on the store. We'll go out right away." As Hong Fafu and his wife walked out of the store, on the way back to the village, Pei Yan told Hong Fafu a series of things that happened to her today. Although she should be happy that she had turned bad luck into good luck, Hong Fafu listened to her. Tell about depression.
This is because he is very suspicious and thinks that the strange man who helped his wife may have had something secret with her. Of course, the wife will not tell, she can only tell what she can tell.
With this mentality, Hong Fafu was very cold towards his wife. When he returned home, his wife asked him to accompany her to hand over the 3,760 yuan to his father-in-law, but he refused.
Pei Yan had no choice but to take out the wet clothes from her handbag, put them in the footbath, and go alone to where her parents-in-law lived, but her parents-in-law were not at home. Her mother-in-law said to Pei Yan, "Your father didn't come back very late after seeing you, so she asked the driver to drive you there." He went to Zaifang, the county seat, to look for you, but he hasn't returned yet. Why didn't you meet him?
mom! I went to Zaifang, the county seat for a while, but left without finding anyone. How could my father meet me?
When Pei Yan said this, she opened her handbag and took out a large wad of money and handed it to her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, this is real money, 3,760 yuan, not bad. I leave it to you to count it, and I will give it to you when dad comes back." he. The mother-in-law did not accept the money, suspecting that it was fake money again. She just said that she could not tell whether it was real or fake, so you should wait until your father comes back and hand it to him with your own hands!
