The days have returned to calm again, and Wang Zhong's life is still regular. During the working day, he is either at the magazine or at home. On weekends, he will go to the garment factory, firstly to inspect and grasp the situation of the garment factory, and secondly to visit Ma Suqin. .
Ma Suqin still lives in the small courtyard she bought. Except for working in the garment factory, she lives in seclusion on weekdays. Even Aunt Wu and the others, with whom she had a good relationship in the past, have stopped contacting her. She watches TV and listens to the radio every day.
Yicheng and his brothers and sisters occasionally come back to visit Ma Suqin, but now they have formed their own families and are busy with their own work, so they don't have much time to come.
More than a month after the last time Yicheng and Song Qingyuan went to follow up and report on Qiao Zuwang and Xu Funian's fund-raising, one evening, Wang Zhong suddenly received a call from Sanli, saying that something had happened to Qiao Zuwang, and that Manager Liu, who they had raised funds for, was involved. The money ran away, and the company he opened disappeared. Those who invested came to Qiao Zuwang's house to ask for money. Lao Qiao's house was emptied and used to pay off debts.
Wang Zhong wasn't surprised when he heard this. It would be a matter of time anyway, but it wouldn't be a big deal if he ran away. He immediately called Xiang Beiyi.
"Beifang, I heard that someone ran away?"
"Master, you know! I was able to run away last night. Fortunately, my brother was smart and stopped them all before they left the city! Everyone is at the Public Security Bureau now." Xiang Beifang said carelessly.
"Where are Song Qingyuan and Qiao Yicheng?"
"They have been following me day and night these days. I finally took a nap yesterday and ran away without thinking about anyone. They rushed over there before dawn in the early morning. Now everyone is at the police station!"
"That's okay! You go about your business first and contact me if you have anything else!"
"Okay, master!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhong shook his head, a little helpless. He was caught, but he may not be able to get all the money back, but that's fine. If he got it all back, he wouldn't have learned his lesson.
"It's time to eat!" Wen Ju'an wore an apron and tied his hair back with a big clip. With Wang Zhong's help, his figure became more plump.
Wang Zhong walked to the dining table, pulled Wen Ju'an over and held him in his arms.
"It's time to eat!" Wen Ju'an bit his lip lightly, but Wang Zhong took Wen Ju'an's hand, took a bite of the still pink lips, and said softly: "After dinner later, let's Go back to the old house."
"What's wrong?"
Wen Ju'an's big spiritual eyes flickered as he looked at Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong couldn't help but went over to take another bite, which made Wen Ju'an blush: "Sanli called just now to say that something happened to Qiao Zuwang. The people who deceived him into raising funds ran away, and those who were deceived ran away. I went to Lao Qiao's house to ask for money from Qiao Zuwang, but Qiao Zuwang couldn't give him any money, so the house was emptied out and almost all the door panels were taken away."
"Ah?" Wen Ju'an exclaimed in surprise: "The house has been evacuated?"
"Then the money Sanli's father came to borrow from you last time..." Wen Ju'an suddenly remembered that Qiao Zuwang had just borrowed 20,000 yuan from Wang Zhong last time.
"They were all deceived, including the few coffin books he had saved in the past few years! There is probably not a single bit left!"
Wen Ju'an excitedly jumped out of Wang Zhong's arms and stood up straight. He looked at Li Zhong with surprise: "So many people have been deceived?"... "Don't be anxious!" Wang Zhong stood up and put Wen Ju'an in his arms. Ju'an helped him sit on the stool and said, "Although the money was defrauded, the money was not defrauded!"
"What do you mean?" Wen Ju'an was a little confused.
"When he first started raising funds, I felt something was wrong. I asked people from the north to keep an eye on those who were working with him to raise funds. When they ran away last night, they were caught by friends from the north. Now everyone is No one in the Public Security Bureau, including Xu Funian, who deceived Qiao Zuwang into raising funds, escaped."
Hearing what Wang Zhong said, Wen Ju'an breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone has been arrested, so how come the Qiao family has been evacuated?"
"The police arrived late. When the police came, the house had already been evacuated. Fortunately, everyone was fine!"
"As long as the person is fine, now that the police have arrested him, can he get the money back?"
"I should be able to get some of it back! But how much we can get back depends on the police." When Qiao Zuwang and Xu Funian were looking for people to raise funds, Wang Zhong did not fail to persuade them, but people were not willing to swallow the elephant like a snake. Seeing the huge profits, I couldn't control the greed in my heart, but I didn't want to think about it. If there was such a profitable business in this world, would it be their turn to be promoted to ordinary people?
It's a pity that although Wang Zhong has some prestige, in the face of huge interests, his words are not as weighty as before.
Wen Ju'an cooked quite a sumptuous dinner. The two of them cooked four dishes and one soup. The portions were quite large. The rice was slowly steamed in a large pot. Wen Ju'an only ate two bowls, and the rest was a waste. It's so heavy, there's not even a bit of soup left in the four dishes and one soup.
Wen Ju'an suddenly felt a little strange. With Wang Zhong's appetite, how did Rhubarb and Xiaohua survive in the old house.
After dinner, the couple drove back to their old house, parked the car at the entrance of the alley, and walked in hand in hand. The neighbor they met greeted Wang Zhong and his wife.
When Wang Zhong and Wen Ju'an rushed to Qiao's house, in addition to Simei and Qiqi, Yicheng and Erqiang, and Sanli were also there.
"You two came here by yourself? Where is the child?"
"The child is at my mother-in-law's place!" Er Qiang said: "The store has been doing well recently, and Qinghui School is also busy. The child is always placed at my mother-in-law's place for her to help look after!"
"Where's Qiao Zuwang?" The main room was empty, not to mention the TV, refrigerator, and phone. There wasn't even a small stool, and it was really empty.
If it snows a little more, I can still sigh that the vast expanse of white is so clean!
"He's in the house!" Yicheng looked at the back room with the door closed: "Hiding and refusing to come out!"
"Who doesn't want to come out!" Following the words, the closed door was opened, and Qiao Zuwang, who looked a little embarrassed, bowed and walked out of the house.
"Hmph!" Yicheng hummed heavily and looked away, out of sight.
"Xiao Zhong, you're here!" Qiao Zuwang put on a smile and walked to Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong looked him up and down, and couldn't help but joked: "Oh, you can still laugh! I have to say that your heart is really strong enough!" After speaking, Li Zhong patted his chest, "That's it!" It's such a big thing, but it's just like nothing happened."... "You have the whole story, aren't you?" Qiao Zuwang said flatteringly.
"No!" Wang Zhong immediately took two steps back and distanced himself from Qiao Zuwang: "As the old saying goes, brothers can still settle accounts. We are not brothers. We are just superficial friends, so naturally we have to settle accounts. Be clearer."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Zuwang's expression changed instantly, and he looked at Wang Zhong in disbelief.
"You borrowed 20,000 yuan from me earlier..."
"What?" Before Wang Zhong finished speaking, the sulking Yi Cheng next to him suddenly exploded: "Twenty thousand?"
"Uncle, what's 20,000 yuan?" Yicheng asked anxiously.
"Just last month, your dad wanted to raise funds and asked me to borrow 20,000 yuan and said he would pay it back in two months."
"Qiao Zuwang, you are really promising! That's 20,000 yuan. Can I sell you for 20,000 yuan?" Yicheng became more and more anxious as he spoke, his voice became louder and louder, and he was about to teach him a lesson. Er Qiang and Song Qingyuan hurriedly pulled him away from this careless old man who only knew how to get into trouble, shouting that this was his father and asking Yicheng not to be impulsive.
"Hasn't the person been caught by the police? In a few days, the police will be able to get the money back..."
"You have a pretty good idea. You've had your money in someone else's hands for so long. Do you think you can get it all back?" It's been a long time since I've seen Yicheng lose control. Wang Zhong folded his hands and watched the show. , Wen Juan pulled his sleeve, but Wang Zhong shook his head at her.
"We've all been caught, why can't we get them back!" Qiao Zuwang spoke confidently, but his body kept moving and kept moving back, for fear of being beaten by Yi Cheng.
Ever since Yicheng went to college, the relationship between him and Yicheng at home has completely changed. His son is always lecturing me all day long, which has cast a shadow on Qiao Zuwang. Looking at Yicheng, he feels embarrassed. It's like meeting me.
"Sending so much money to others, they will keep it for you without spending any money, right! Who do you think those people are? Are they good men and women of faith?"
Erqiang and Song Qingyuan persuaded him for a while, and Yicheng yelled a few words. After venting his inner emotions, he rushed forward and took action.
Qiao Zuwang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He froze on the spot. After a sudden change in his expression, he quickly ran to Wang Zhong and asked anxiously: "Xiao Zhong, is it true that I can't get my money back?"
"It's hard to say, and even if you can get some back, the money will have to go to the neighbors who were defrauded. If it's not enough, you might have to put in more money!"
"What?" Qiao Zuwang suddenly exploded: "Do I still have to put money in?"
"I've been cheated. I'm also a victim. Why do I still need to put money in?" Qiao Zuwang didn't understand at all.
"What else could be the reason? You are the one who instigated everyone to invest money. You are lucky that you have not been arrested by the police!" These words naturally frightened Qiao Zuwang.
"I am also a victim, why are you arresting me! I was also deceived by Xu Funian and Liu Jianguo!" Qiao Zuwang was so aggrieved that he almost cried. This time he was really aggrieved. …."You yourself feel wronged, do you think your neighbors will feel wronged by you? Do your comrades from the Public Security Bureau feel wronged by you?" Yicheng said with hatred of steel.
"I...I..." Qiao Zuwang was speechless and felt a tightness in his chest.
"Okay!" Wang Zhong suppressed a smile, "There's not even a place to sit. Why are you still here? Go sit in my old house for a while."
As he spoke, Wang Zhong took Wen Ju'an and left first, followed closely by Yicheng. He didn't even look at Qiao Zuwang. Erqiang took a look at it and took his wife to follow Yicheng. Sanli still knew that her father was To save face, I walked over and whispered a few words, coaxing and coaxing him out of the door.
As soon as I came out of the Qiao family's old house, I saw a familiar figure standing at the door.
Wang Zhong smiled and greeted people: "Sister Wu!"
"Xiao Zhong is back!" Sister Wu had a smile on her face. At this moment, Sister Wu was very lucky that Qiao Zuwang got the money back. Otherwise, she would probably have to move to Qiao's house just like everyone else. Something.
"Sister Wu didn't raise funds with Lao Qiao?"
"Hey! It's all thanks to you. I invested two thousand in the beginning. If you hadn't said that raising funds was risky, I asked Brother Qiao to get the money back. I probably wouldn't be crying right now! Xiao Chong, you still have the ability!" Sister Wu said with a thoughtful look on her face, giving a thumbs up to Li Zhong.
"Sister Wu, if you don't feel tired of waking up early and staying late at night, you can open a breakfast shop in front of the school and sell some rice porridge, soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, etc. It will be much better than engaging in these crooked ways."
"I'm getting older and have to look after my grandson, so I may not have so much energy!" Sister Wu frowned.
Wang Chong said with a smile: "If you are willing, let your son invest in you and open a small bookstore near the school to sell tutoring books and stationery. You will definitely make money! These days, what parent doesn't want to If your children are going to be successful in the future, even if they have their teeth knocked out and swallowed in their stomachs, they still have to provide for their education, right?"
Sister Wu's eyes lit up instantly: "Xiao Chong, your method is great. Let me tell you, you are the most promising and capable person in our alley!"
"I'm just going with the flow. Sister Wu, if I have anything else to do, I'll leave first!"
"You are busy, you are busy!"
"Why are you so nice to this Sister Wu?" Wen Ju'an looked at Wang Zhong in confusion.
"Sister Wu is a good person. She has a good relationship with my cousin, Yi Cheng and their mother. She helped us a lot in the past. When I was young, Sister Wu even helped my cousin take care of me..."
Although her identity was assigned by the system and her memories were fabricated, Sister Wu is indeed a kind-hearted person. Although she has many shortcomings that ordinary people have, the kindness she paid in the first place is worth the rewards.
Now Sister Wu's daughter-in-law works in a garment factory. She is a small workshop leader and earns a very good income. Sister Wu's son also worked in a state-owned factory earlier, and later he was laid off. He also joined through Wang Zhong's introduction. Although the income of the construction team under Xiang Beifang is not high, it is at least much higher than working in a factory. Moreover, Xiang Beifang has good connections and wide connections, so he has no worries about work.
The Wang family's old house is only a few minutes away from the Qiao family. Ever since Wang Zhong and Wen Ju'an moved to the villa on the edge of Xuanwu Lake, the old house has become empty, but Sanli often brings Song Qingyuan back to the house. There is no dust inside and outside the house, and it is cleaned cleanly.
Wen Ju'an came here many times before, and now it has really become her home.
"The bedding and everything in the house are ready-made. You will stay here during this period."
"Now let's talk about your old house!" The family sat around the coffee table. Sanli and Erqiang's daughter-in-law went to the kitchen to clean up and start the fire. Anyway, Qiao Zuwang would have to light a fire if he wanted to live there.
In the main room, Qiao Zuwang looked at Wang Zhong warily: "The old house belongs to me!"
"I didn't say that the old house didn't belong to you! But you signed the IOU for me. If you don't pay it when it's due, interest will be calculated. We wrote it clearly in black and white at the beginning, and you only paid it after reading the terms. Signature and fingerprint, I’m not talking nonsense about this!”.
