Detained, actually detained. Although it is administrative detention, it is still detention.
Feng Xixi was anxious.
"Comrade policeman, my brother-in-law did this just to help me. Isn't the detention too harsh? Can't we just fine him?"
The policeman on duty said: "As you can see, he beat the man until his mouth was full of blood and his glasses were broken. The other party insisted on holding him responsible. We can only handle the case in accordance with the procedures."
"But...but Huang Yizhou wanted to take advantage of me. He was also wrong."
"Ms. Feng, we have watched the restaurant video you provided. From the current perspective, it is really impossible to conclude that he violated you, so regarding this matter... I advise you to get in touch with the victim. If he can issue a letter of understanding, this matter Maybe there will be a turnaround.”
After receiving such a reply, Feng Qianqian left the window and searched several rooms without seeing Huang Yizhou. She called the other party's number again, but no one answered after several calls, so she ran outside Xiaojishi Shanghai Restaurant to look for Huang Yizhou's car. , found that it was gone.
It seemed like what the police said, Huang Yizhou was determined to avoid her.
Ding ding dong~
At this time, the ringing of the mobile phone drew her attention. She took it in her hand and saw that it was a landline number. She patiently answered the call and put it to her ear.
"Hi, hello, who are you looking for?"
"Sissi, it's me."
"Brother-in-law? How did you..."
"Oh, this is the phone number from the police station. The police agreed that I should call my family."
"Brother-in-law, I...I don't know..."
"Don't worry, just listen to me. I'm just going to be detained for a week. There's nothing to fuss about. I'm calling you to tell you that I was detained by the police station for fighting. Don't tell your family about it later. I'll call my dad again and tell him that my company has sent me on a business trip and I won't be back for a week. Oh, it's really a coincidence when you think about it. I just vaccinated them during lunch, and this happened in the evening. "
"Brother-in-law, why?"
"You think, if my dad finds out that I fought with Huang Yizhou because he was worried about you, he might not say anything. Grandma will definitely get angry at you, and maybe she will say a lot of unpleasant things. Now you and She lives in the same room, so don’t make both of you feel bad.”
"Brother-in-law, you...I..."
Feng Xixi stammered and didn't know how to express her thoughts. He was detained and worried that she would be wronged because of this matter.
From the change in personality to the change in attitude towards her, as well as what she has done these days, she really can't find a more reasonable explanation except for the superstitious theory of having an old life in her past life.
"Don't think blindly, obey me, and hang up."
Pa~
The phone hangs up.
Feng Xixi slowly put her hand down.
She looked at the street lights and the cars passing by at night, feeling very complicated.
There is worry about my brother-in-law, helplessness about the situation, frustration that I have no way to save him, deep shame, and some unexplainable... secret joy?
After Lin Yue ended the call with Feng Qianqian, he used his "all-seeing eye" to send a text message to the old man's WeChat that he was on a business trip and was about to fly out of the country, and then went back to the class room to sleep peacefully.
detention? Ordinary people are afraid of this word, and for him... he is familiar with the road, and it is no different from staying in a hotel.
And this time he did it on purpose. He didn't use a bitter trick to add some spice to Feng Qianqian. How could she have the courage and determination to break through the shackles of the sister relationship?
…
the next day.
Gu Zhai.
Teacher Gu was still reading the newspaper on the three-person sofa wearing reading glasses as before. He sighed and clicked his tongue from time to time, not knowing what he was reading.
The old lady sat at the dining table playing with her medicines.
Wow…
In the kitchen, the water keeps hitting the sink.
Feng Xiaoqin walked out of the bedroom after drying the clothes, looked at the living room, then looked at her sister who was standing in front of the cupboard in a daze, then walked over and turned off the faucet.
"What are you thinking about? The water is overflowing."
Only then did Feng Qianqian realize that the plastic basin in the sink was filled with water, and the peppers were floating.
"Oh, nothing."
She quickly walked over, picked up the peppers from the water and put them on the chopping board.
Feng Xiaoqin glanced at her with confusion, took off her apron from the hanger, and was about to take over the cooking. Who knew that at this moment, she heard an "ah" sound. She looked back and found that the knife was lying horizontally on the chopping board, with her sister's left hand Holding the index finger of his right hand, a wisp of red blood flowed along the gap between his fingers.
"Did you cut your hand? Is it serious?"
She threw away the apron and quickly walked over to check the injury. After that, she took her sister into the bedroom, found gauze and iodine from the drawer under the dresser, and bandaged it.
Seeing the gauze wrapping the wound layer by layer, Feng Qianqian calmed down a little, took another look into the room, and asked knowingly: "Brother-in-law...didn't you come back last night?"
"His dad said he was on a business trip and left last night." Feng Xiaoqin said, while cursing: "I really don't know what their manager was thinking, asking him to go on a business trip? He's not afraid of ruining the business."
It's not surprising that she has such thoughts. Regarding what Gu Lei has done in the past few months, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is lawless. How can a guy who can make other people's ancestors live from their graves with just one sentence achieve such a thing?
Compared with her, hehe, she looked down on him more and more. It was just that the loss of divorce was too great for her to accept, so she made do with the Gu family.
"Oh." Feng Qianqian asked again: "Didn't he tell you about the business trip?"
"No, I don't care either."
"Sister, will you... divorce your brother-in-law?" After going around in a big circle, she finally said the question she wanted to know the most in her heart.
Feng Xiaoqin said: "Divorce? Isn't all my hard work in vain now that I'm getting divorced? Of course it's impossible."
Feng Qianqian asked again: "So, sister, do you intend to divorce your brother-in-law?"
This question stopped her. She was stunned for a while. Thinking of the little tiger, she waved her hand a little irritably: "I haven't thought about that much yet. What's going on with you today? So many questions?"
"Oh, just yesterday, I saw how uncomfortable Ge Yue and Gu Xin were, and I thought of you and your brother-in-law..."
"You don't even have a boyfriend, what are you thinking about?"
Bang bang bang...
At this time, the old lady slapped the table outside and shouted, "How long will this meal last?"
She had been playing with the medicine outside and didn't know that Feng Xixi had hurt herself while cutting vegetables.
This thing may seem unkind, but in fact from the old lady’s point of view, she has done nothing wrong. You said that with the relationship between Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Lei, Gu Shihong shouldn’t wait for the Feng sisters to cook. People’s teachers can’t do it. If something like this happens, wait for the Feng sisters. Is it possible to entertain them as guests and let the old man wait on them?
Feng Xiaoqin glared fiercely in the direction of the dining table, and released the hand holding her sister's finger: "You can rest, I will cook the food myself."
"Then I'll go pick up the little tiger."
Feng Qianqian volunteered to pick up her nephew from the tutoring class.
Feng Xiaoqin was a little surprised. In the past, her sister did not have such a discerning eye, and it was the grandfather who took care of the little tiger.
"That's okay, but remember, you can't buy him random snacks on the way, otherwise he won't be able to eat well when he comes back."
"I know, sister."
Feng Qianqian responded with a smile, went to the door to change her shoes, picked up her bag, opened the door and walked out.
Even Gu Shihong was a little surprised. He didn't understand how this aunt could change her normal attitude and become so concerned about her nephew's affairs.
Feng Qianqian came down from upstairs and walked a few steps forward when she heard the phone ringing in her bag.
She took it out and looked at it, and found that it was Zhan Xiang calling. She didn't dare to neglect it, so she quickly picked it up and put it to her ear.
"Brother Zhanxiang."
"Sissi, how are you doing lately? How is your work?"
"Ah...it's pretty good."
"Why did I hear that you were in a lot of trouble?"
"Sister Zheng told you that, right?"
The woman who took her through the entry formalities was named Zheng, and she was the wife of a friend of Zhanxiang's.
"No, your brother-in-law told me."
"Brother-in-law?"
She was shocked and didn't know how Gu Lei knew about this.
"Like this, I have 7 million yuan in bank financing here, and it's due in two days. It doesn't matter which bank you put it in anyway. It's best if you can help an acquaintance. Let's do it on Monday. I'll go to Huanghai Bank to handle it with you on Monday. How about the deposit business?"
"Really? Brother Zhanxiang, I'm so... thank you so much."
Feng Qianqian was so excited that she didn't know what to say. Wasn't the reason why she risked being molested yesterday to see Huang Yizhou just to get a deposit and get rid of the last ranking in performance? I didn't expect... I didn't expect it to be solved so easily.
"This kind of thing is easy for me. If you want to thank me, just thank your brother-in-law. Okay, that's it. I'll hang up now."
"Hey, okay."
Feng Qianqian hung up the phone and glanced at the pedestrians passing by. The excitement on her face scared the old lady who came back from shopping for groceries from the unit building next door to the point where she walked as fast as flying and got into the door of the unit building as fast as possible.
…
A month and a half later.
Gu family.
Gu Shihong came back and changed into his slippers. He took out a piece of paper from the paper box on the coffee table in the living room and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The weather today is too hot."
Lin Yue was watering the potted plants on the balcony and looked back when he heard his words.
"If you ask me, just quit your job as director of the business committee. It's thankless."
Regarding the incident where Shi Zhiwei was stopped from renting a club, the old men and ladies in the community had been discussing it for almost two months, and it had only subsided a little in the past few days. Gu Shihong was often sulking over this matter.
"Why should I resign? I won't resign. If I don't resign, Boss Shi and his group are still trying to take advantage of the community owners every day. If I resign as the director of the property committee, will they continue to do more work without losing money?" "
This old man has quite a character.
Lin Yue shook his head. In fact, he knew very well what the cheap daddy thought. He used to be a teacher and was good at managing students and being a good teacher. Now that he retired and returned home, he felt uncomfortable with nothing to do and no one to teach him.
There is also the problem that my daughter and son are not worried. I can forget these troubles when I have work at hand.
"Okay, okay, if the community doesn't have you, the property management guys will have nothing to do."
As soon as his voice fell, Gu Shihong didn't wait for a reply. The door opened from the outside. Feng Xiaoqin, wearing takeout clothes and carrying a yellow helmet, walked in. She had just changed her shoes, threw the helmet into the corner, and pointed with a gloomy look. Lin Yue said: "I said that you have been fishing for more than a month for three days and drying nets for two days. You don't go to work seriously and just wander around every day. It turns out that you were fired by the boss!"
Gu Shihong looked stunned, looking at his son and then at his daughter-in-law.
"Xiaoqin, what did you say? Gu Lei was fired by the company?"
"Dad, do you know why he was fired from the company?"
"Why?"
"He said before that the company sent him on a business trip and that he would be away for a week. This was not the case. He was sent to a detention center because he fought with others."
"Ah?" The old man was shocked. He turned to look at Lin Yue and said with an angry look on his face: "Gu Lei, is that so?"
As Feng Xiaoqin said, his son seems to be idle during this period. He is either sleeping at home or going out to drink with others. Sometimes he doesn’t come back until 11 or 12 o’clock in the middle of the night. I ask him what’s going on recently, and he replies that he has completed a big project on a business trip. Shan, I took annual leave with my manager to play at home for a few days. People, you can't be too harsh on yourself. You must learn to combine work and rest, so that you can live a long life.
Lin Yue shrugged: "Well, that's right."
"What does it mean? Yes, it is, and no, it isn't."
"yes."
When Gu Shihong heard this, he stared angrily: "Tell me, why didn't you inform your family that you were detained for a fight? You even lied to me about going on a business trip. Are you going to make me mad to death?"
Huh?
Lin Yue thought that the old man would investigate him for losing his job, but he didn't expect that this cheap dad was really good, and his focus was completely different from Feng Xiaoqin's.
Think about it too.
Most greedy wives always want their husbands to make a lot of money and compare themselves with those successful people, but parents are different. They only think about whether their children are suffering, whether their lives are hard, and whether they are tired.
"I'm also afraid that you'll be worried. It's been so many days, so I'm not doing well."
"Dad? Now even people in the community know about his detention. How can you..."
Feng Xiaoqin found it difficult to understand. Not only did Gu Lei get into a detention center after a fight, which directly led to him being laid off, but he also came back to lie to everyone about taking annual leave. As a result, Gu Shihong only focused on being detained. This was outrageous.
"Cough, cough." The old man then turned his attention to the consequences of the incident and sighed: "I used to ask your sister to help me find another job, but now she hasn't come back for more than a month, what do you mean? You...what do you want me to say about you?"
Over the years, Gu Qingyu has helped Gu Lei find a job. He works in a private company, and being laid off is not something to make a fuss about. But it is different now. When Gu Qingyu brought his newlywed husband to meet his parents for the first time, his brother-in-law gave him a black nose and a swollen face. What's going on? Even as a father, he was embarrassed to ask his daughter to introduce him to a job.
Lin Yue said: "Sister, I don't need to worry about this, I can handle it myself."
Before the old man could speak, Feng Xiaoqin said bitterly: "Can you handle it? How? Become a network administrator? Or deliver food? With your mouth, you must be complained about every day."
"I won't bother you anymore." Lin Yue pointed to his watch: "If you don't go downstairs, the teacher will call dad again."
Feng Xiaoqin looked at the hands of the clock on the wall and felt a little anxious. She quickly took off the delivery boy's clothes and went to the bedroom to change into regular clothes.
"You are unemployed and at home, yet you still have the nerve to ask your father to pick up your children. You are so filial."
"Xiaoqin, please stop saying a few words."
Gu Shihong couldn't stand it and advised her not to complain anymore. After all, facing unemployment was bad enough. If the family put more pressure on her, it would be too much.
"snort!"
Feng Xiaoqin snorted coldly, put on her shoes and went downstairs to pick up Little Tiger.
Gu Shihong shook his head: "How could she do this?"
"It's a very simple truth. How can you subtly improve your status and authority in the family without belittling your husband? For a weak wife who does not fight or rob her, her parents-in-law will not pay attention to her needs. In Feng Xiaoqin's case, you are Aren't you thinking of buying us a house to silence her?"
Gu Shihong was stunned when he heard this. Indeed, he weighed in his mind more than once whether to spend all his savings to buy a house for his son, because he did not want to see the little tiger be like those children from single-parent families. This harm would follow the child. For life.
"Women, their thoughts are all spent on these things." Lin Yue stood up, walked to the balcony, and smiled at Feng Xiaoqin who turned to the sunny side and met Feng Qianqian who was returning home.
She thought she had caught another pigtail of hers, but she didn't know that the news about being detained for a week and losing her job was the news he released.
If he doesn't do this, how can his sister-in-law feel sorry for him further?
As he expected, after listening to Feng Xiaoqin's story, Feng Qianqian's expression changed again and again, her eyes full of intolerance and gratitude.
Because of her, her brother-in-law lost his job and was laughed at and ridiculed by his sister.
Ding ding dong…
The ringtone of her mobile phone interrupted Feng Xiaoqin's complaints. She picked it up and saw that it was her mother who was far away in her hometown.
"Hey, Mom."
"..."
"What? Did Danian hurt someone?" Feng Xiaoqin's expression changed.
