A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Chapter 118 Past Events

After leaving the interrogation room and returning to his workstation in the office, Yu Junsheng didn't show it on his face, but his heart was in turmoil.

Looking at the documents in his hand, Yu Junsheng couldn't help but think of the sneer on Deng Guangming's face. He didn't know how he had gotten through the afternoon. Deng Guangming's words, "How do you think your father died?" kept echoing in his ears, making him uneasy.

Yu Junsheng always thought that his father died in the fire while trying to save the factory's property, but now someone tells him that this is not the case?

Although he always thought his father was stupid and blamed him for losing his life for the so-called property of the factory, leaving his wife and children alone to be bullied. If he had not died early, his mother would not have gone through so much trouble to raise him alone.

But I never thought that there might be something wrong with his death.

Yu Junsheng didn't believe it at first and thought that Deng Guangming was plotting something. But looking at Deng Guangming's half-smile, he knew that this man was not lying.

Maybe he really knew something.

Unfortunately, when he asked Deng Guangming about it, he refused to say anything and just looked at him with a sarcastic look.

Yu Junsheng didn't know what Deng Guangming's purpose was in telling him this, but he had to admit that his words did disturb his heart.

He didn't know how he got through the afternoon. After finally getting off work, Yu Junsheng's mind was full of thoughts, and he returned to the slum in a daze.

Cheng Jiajia was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the noise at the door, she immediately saw Yu Junsheng with a sullen face.

This guy is always frivolous at home, with a slight smile on his face, but today his expression is a little gloomy.

After all, they had lived together for such a long time, and Cheng Jiajia could tell at a glance that something was wrong with this man.

He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened in the factory? Did something really happen with Deng Guangming?" It should be impossible. Deputy Director Yang actually had someone arrested. He must have made a foolproof plan. How could he let someone escape so easily?

"No, wife, the Deng guy can't get away. He came to me to talk about something else."

Yu Junsheng did not hesitate and recounted his conversation with Deng Guangming in the interrogation room.

His wife was the closest person to him, and he would not hide anything from her. Besides, he really wanted to find someone to talk to.

"So, there might be some doubts about your father's death?"

Cheng Jiajia was very surprised. She hadn't expected such a hidden story. She was right. The story she had read was centered around the hero and heroine. How could it possibly describe in detail the background of a person who was a stepping stone for the hero and heroine?

Ten years ago, a fire broke out in the machinery factory. Yu's father, Qin Weimin, and several others were working overtime at the time. After discovering the situation, they immediately rushed in to put out the fire and rescue the supplies inside.

Fortunately, many people came to help soon, and thanks to the timely rescue, the fire did not cause much damage to the machinery factory. Unfortunately, Yu's father and another worker were killed in the fire forever. From then on, Yu Junsheng lost his father and Yu's mother lost her husband.

Something flashed through Cheng Jiajia's mind, and she suddenly said,

"Do you think Qin Weimin will know anything?"

"He went to put out the fire with our dad."

She had previously eavesdropped on Qin Weimin and Deng Guangming's conversation and felt something was amiss, but now that she had no evidence, she couldn't say much. However, these two people always gave her a very familiar feeling, and it didn't seem like this was their first collaboration.

Could it be that these two people have colluded with each other before?

Qin Weimin and Yu's father went in to put out the fire together, but only one person came out. Qin Weimin became a fire-fighting hero. However, as a good friend of Yu's father, he stayed away from the orphans and widows of the Yu family after Yu's father's death, and even bullied and plotted against Yu Junsheng after Yu's mother's death. This in itself was not right.

Seeing how guilty Qin Weimin looked after being taunted by her, Cheng Jiajia was certain that he still had a sum of money of unknown origin.

Overall, Cheng Jiajia felt that her suspicion was very reasonable and justified.

Even if Qin Weimin didn't do it, he should know something.

After listening to Cheng Jiajia's analysis, Yu Junsheng's eyes dimmed slightly.

He used to think that Qin Weimin was a snob who came up to befriend his father when he saw he had a promising future, but quickly distanced himself from him when his family fell into trouble. He had never thought about it in this way.

Is it really him? But why would he do this?

Yu Junsheng clenched his fists. No matter what, if Qin Weimin really did something to his father, he would make him pay the price.

Cheng Jiajia patted his shoulder comfortingly, then rolled her eyes and said, "Let's keep a close eye on him. If he's a fox, he'll eventually show his tail." But in her heart, she was planning to go to Deng's house tonight to check it out. She was actually a little skeptical, and she took this opportunity to confirm it.

Yu Junsheng had no idea what she was planning. Perhaps it was because he had thought too many times today about the time when his father was still alive. The images of his parents' love and the happy family of three kept echoing in his mind. But now they were all dead, and he suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.

Fortunately, he still has his wife and family in this world. And because of their shared secret, his relationship with Cheng Jiajia is closer than that of an ordinary couple.

Yu Junsheng hugged her in his arms and rested his head on her shoulder, "Wife, I'm lucky to have you."

……

On the other hand, Qin Weimin had no idea that he had been targeted.

However, he suddenly realized that he had been spending too much money and too ostentatiously recently, and he was afraid that it had attracted attention.

Today, Cheng Jiajia's words had made him break out in a cold sweat. He had only just remembered that Deng Guangming had been arrested, and he had no idea what was happening. How could he have been so careless?

Qin Weimin was secretly annoyed that he had been so overwhelmed by the joy of getting married that he had not been cautious at all.

That money can no longer be touched.

Anyway, I have already bought some expensive clothes for Xiaohui and Zhenzhu, so it should be enough. There is no need to buy anything expensive.

Qin Weimin decided that he would only spend his salary in the future. He earned nearly 80 yuan a month anyway. Even if he gave Yan Xiaocui the 20 yuan living expenses she asked for, it was enough for him and his whole family to live on.

Bai Zhenzhu was busy in the kitchen pouring the leftover chicken soup from lunch into the pot and adding some water to cook noodles.

At noon today, everyone in the Bai family except Qin Weimin had a delicious meal of stewed chicken and they were all in a very satisfied mood.

Bai Zhenzhu even hummed a song. Although she was reluctant to marry Qin Weimin, she had to admit that with a salaried man in the family, their living conditions really improved.

It would be nice if I could eat like this every day. Bai Zhenzhu rolled her eyes and thought, forget about this month. From now on, Qin’s salary must be in my hands. How can you not let a woman control the salary after getting married?

This way you can eat whatever you want.

And she also has to pry out the money he hid, humph.

……

Bai Xiaohui packed a brand new navy blue Zhongshan suit and said proudly, "Brother Bai Fan, look how good my Uncle Qin is to you. He even bought you such expensive clothes. You have to be nicer to me in the future."

Qin Weimin bought clothes not only for the mother and daughter today, but also for Qi Baifan.

Qi Baifan pulled Bai Xiaohui into his arms with gratitude on his face, and said affectionately, "Xiaohui, I remember. I will always remember how good your family has been to me, and I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

Qi Baifan was originally opposed to Qin Weimin moving into the Bai family's house because it would add another male head of the family and he would no longer be the only male in the Bai family. He was afraid that something unexpected would happen with the house.

But now he feels that this kind of life is not bad. The old man has spent a lot of money on the family since he came here, and he is happy to take advantage of it. Anyway, he will definitely live longer than the old man.

I have no worries about food and drink, and I even have new clothes to wear. These days are so beautiful.

Bai Xiaohui felt sweet inside, but she was unforgiving in her words, "Hmph, it's good that you know it! If you dare to let me down, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

"Oh, how dare I?" Qi Baifan deliberately begged for mercy and made jokes. The two of them often played like this when they were intimate.

Bai Xiaohui also liked this very much, and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

Bai Xiaohui didn't notice that Qi Baifan spoke affectionately, but his eyes didn't show any emotion.

Qi Baifan hugged Bai Xiaohui, but he was thinking of Su Ling.

Su Ling is the lesbian with pigtails who Cheng Jiajia saw arguing with Qi Baifan last time. She and Qi Baifan are in a relationship.

He had been gone for some days and didn't know how Su Ling was doing.

Although Qi Baifan had a lot of calculations in his mind, he still had some real feelings for Su Ling. He missed her a lot after not seeing her for a while.

He couldn't help but think that it would be great if he could find a well-off family for Su Ling in the compound. This way, they would not only have no pressure in life, but they could also see each other often.

……

The chicken stewed by the Bai family at noon was indeed delicious. The whole yard was filled with the aroma of chicken soup, and the third and second courtyards were the worst affected.

The Qin family members all looked unhappy.

These chickens were bought with their family’s money!

The second son of the Qin family had a gloomy face. "Tomorrow the salary will be paid. Mom, you should go directly to the factory to collect Dad's salary. We can't let him continue like this."

The old man is spending all his money on the mother and daughter. What will happen when he gets old and can't move? He will still have to rely on his children to take care of him.

……

At the Zheng family, Zheng Haiyang was also tempted by the aroma and was very hungry. After hesitating for a long time, he avoided people and went back to the house. He took out two big unity banknotes from his small treasury and handed them to Chang Dafen.

"Mom, take this and improve the food at home. Don't eat vegetarian food all the time." He originally planned to hide it from his family, but he really couldn't stand eating steamed buns and boiled radish pickles at home all day long.

Looking at the big unity in her hand, Chang Dafen's eyes flashed, and she looked at her eldest son in surprise, "Ocean, where did this money come from?" Her eldest son gave her his salary every month, so how could he still have so much money? Could it be that he didn't hand over all his salary?

He spent twenty, so he must have quite a bit left. Chang Dafen's eyes rolled around, and she suddenly sighed with a sad face, "Ocean, you're really filial and know how to care for Mom. Sigh, Mom is so old and still has to take care of this big family. Mom has such a hard life! My shoulder has been hurting these past few days, but my family paid out such a large sum of money in compensation before, and now we're so tight on money, I don't even dare to spend money on a plaster."

Zheng Haiyang didn't understand the implicit meaning of the words and said in a very filial manner, "Mom, I think you won't be able to spend all of this twenty yuan. A set of plasters costs only a few cents. You can buy a few more and apply them on yourself." He still didn't want to touch the rest of the money.

Chang Dafen: “…”

Sure enough, the son no longer felt sorry for his mother after getting married. If it were in the past, the eldest son would definitely pay for his own medicine.

She glared at Jiang Qiubai hatefully. It was all this bitch's fault!

Jiang Qiubai was completely confused. She glanced at Zheng Haiyang irritably, feeling that he had been staying at home for too long recently.

Since Deng Guangming was arrested, the factory is undergoing an inventory. In this situation, Ren Wenhua dares not make any further moves, so Zheng Haiyang has not received much income recently.

But Bao Dayan always asks him for money every time they meet, which has annoyed him a bit. So he has been much more honest recently and spends more time at home. He basically goes home as soon as he gets off work and doesn't go out at night.

If it were in the past, Jiang Qiubai would definitely be happy to spend more time with him.

But in reality, Jiang Qiubai couldn't be happy.

Because as the days passed, she still wasn't pregnant!

Sure enough, a short time is not enough! Useless man! Jiang Qiubai cursed angrily.

If she didn't want to get pregnant as soon as possible, she wouldn't look for someone like this!

But at this point, even if she changed men, it wouldn't work. Not only would it be easy to be exposed with too many people around, but even if she got pregnant, the timing wouldn't match. The difference was too great.

Jiang Qiubai finished pasting a matchbox, moved his stiff neck, and glanced at the man who was wondering what he was thinking.

She gritted her teeth and decided to have an abortion if all else failed.

However, we still need to think carefully about how to deal with this matter, and it would be best if this "child" could play the greatest role.

……

That night, after all the residents in the compound fell asleep, Cheng Jiajia opened her eyes from her bed. She changed into black clothes in the dark and tiptoed out the door.

He found the Deng family by following the route he remembered, as if he was familiar with the place.

To be on the safe side, Cheng Jiajia wrapped her feet with the old clothes she had prepared, and put on a pair of cotton gloves that she usually used when working at the scrap yard.

He walked around the courtyard wall, found a suitable position, took a running start, and jumped in in a few seconds.

Cheng Jiajia looked at the small courtyard in front of her, which was no different from that of an ordinary house, and found the bedroom according to her memory.

According to what she had learned, Deng Guangming had two sons and a daughter. Both sons were married, and the daughter was also married. Now, only Deng Guangming and his wife lived in this courtyard.

After Deng Guangming was arrested, his wife and two sons were also sent to the security department of the machinery factory and could not be released for a while. His daughter-in-law took her grandson back to her parents' home and would not be returning for the time being, which was convenient for him.

Cheng Jiajia used wire to pry open the old-fashioned lock on the main door in a few seconds.

Start directly from the main room, search the floor, under the table, and inside the cabinets, knock and bang to see if there is any place where things can be hidden.

Cheng Jiajia just took a quick glance at the room where her two sons lived and didn't find anything, so she passed by. The main reason was that her two sons had already started their own families, and it was impossible for Deng Guangming to put anything in there, otherwise it would be very inconvenient.

Cheng Jiajia focuses her main attention on the house where the old couple lives.

Unfortunately, after searching for a while, I still found nothing.

Not only did he not find what he was looking for, he also couldn't find the money. The reason the machinery factory had sent Yu Junsheng to meet Deng Guangming was because they hoped that if they could satisfy his demands, he would reveal the whereabouts of the embezzled money. Unfortunately, he still didn't reveal it, which made the security staff very angry.

Cheng Jiajia was a little disappointed. Could it be that she was overthinking it?

She was about to retreat when she suddenly felt something was wrong. A light bulb went off in her head and she quickly walked to the Deng family's utility room.

How could she forget this place!

This was the first place that Yu Junsheng and I thought of when we hid our gold and treasures. How did we know that others didn't like to hide things there?
