Chapter 108
Sister-in-law Xu went crazy, “What does he look like, who is he?”
Her appearance is too fierce, steel egg was scared and cried, slurred, “I don’t know, I don’t remember”
Dog egg’s mom carried her son over and coaxed him, also a little angry, “Sister-in-law, don’t yell at my child, your own daughter left with someone and you don’t even know”
Xu’s sister-in-law’s gaze was a bit frozen, this statement made her unable to refute, she opened her mouth like a chicken with its neck pinched, but no sound could come out, and finally hung her head in despair, not even able to cry out
Dog egg mom saw this, heart also feel regret, what he said not good have to say this, this is not to the heart of the knife it?
A time and can not pull the face to apologize, hard in the steel egg buttocks slapped twice, “I told you not to say! I told you not to say!”
Steel eggs have not reacted, a sharp pain in the buttocks, which exploded, mouth a, crying almost toppled the roof!
When a child cries, of course we have to persuade the dog’s mother not to take it out on the child, the child is still small and doesn’t understand anything
A small house, as lively as someone inside the disco
Lin Minjun: “Stop arguing, I think I know who took Ling Ling”
“Who?” Sister-in-law Xu seemed to have grabbed a lifeline
Lin Minjun glanced around and hesitated, “It has something to do with Ling Ling’s previous relationship, so I’m afraid it’s not a good idea to say in front of so many people”
“Say it, there’s nothing to hide, the big guys know what they should know, it’s important to find Ling Ling now” Sister-in-law Xu said with a bitter smile
Lin Minjun didn’t mention this and asked Steel Egg first: “Is there any more candy that the person who took Ling Ling’s sister gave you? Can you show it to my sister?”
Steel Egg huffed and pulled two candies out of his pocket
Lin Minjun took a look at this and was sure: “Sister-in-law, I think the person who took Ling Ling is the person she talked to before, that ex-boyfriend, we should be able to find Ling Ling if we find him”
Sister-in-law Xu was stunned: “Xiao Lin are you mistaken, Ling Ling’s object was yellow before, it’s been a few months, how could she go with him?”
“Yes, Lingling said that she had been with that man for a long time, and I haven’t seen her getting close to anyone in this period of time” Someone else chimed in
“It must be a mistake, Ling Ling that object I have seen, not good-looking, dress even worse, it seems to be the family condition is poor, Ling Ling how can go with that kind of person”
Everyone you a sentence and I a sentence, said are not believe, in fact, is not to go against Lin Minjun, really sounds a little ridiculous
After all, this time is still talking about the parents’ order, rebellious girls less, say break up that is really break up, fire another blind date to get married, there is no lotus root
“If I say, here to ask her might as well go home and sleep, tomorrow we all have to go to work, where is the time to waste here” The one who spoke was Xiao Zhao, the Power Supply Bureau employee who lived in the innermost part of the inverted seat room
Lin Minjun followed the sound of the past, immediately recognized, everyone called him Zhao Wei, is a single man, has not been married, usually she and Zhao Wei is not familiar with, see is also a stranger
Zhao Wei eyes below the two dark circles, full of impatience, said: “You are really, believe that she is a woman, what can be done, say two words on the people involved in the former object, the public security office also have to talk about a proof of it”
He said this is really not polite, neighbors, this is someone up to round off, “OK Zhao, people did not say anything, you will say less, listen to the words can not? We are all looking for someone”
No one persuade okay, a persuade Zhao Wei feel no face, he also came to the force, said in a bad mood: “I said wrong? Where did I say this is wrong, you guys are not fooling around, but also to make a fuss about the big guys, not me against her”
He said, “What can a woman do? Can carry a qiang on the battlefield or can do manual labor, not stay at home to find someone to marry, but also run out to open the store, this is a woman can do work? Don’t look at the store business is good, but still can’t compare to our iron rice bowl, may be when the yellow, how, you are so far away from me for what? Am I wrong?”
When Zhao Wei was in the middle of his sentence, he suddenly realized that the neighbors standing around him all took two steps back, leaving a circle around him
Auntie Xu, who was closest to him, directly rolled her eyes and turned around to sit on the bench
Stupid people, stupid people with no eyes
Can’t you see that Lin Minjun’s subject is still standing there? He’s making up about her in front of her, not afraid that Yan Li will take the house back and blow him away
We all think that this person is hopeless, stupid too scary, no wonder he has not been able to find a daughter-in-law, this is a psychopath
Before Yan Li could say anything, Auntie Cao slanted a glance and said in that particularly breezy voice: “Xiao Zhao ah, we women can hold up half the sky, not just at home to do the housework role, our Xiao Lin not only want to open a store, will soon be opening a restaurant, the restaurant is decorated, you’re afraid to go home at night to die of anger”
Zhao Wei fiercely stared with wide eyes, his face was even more frightening than sister-in-law Xu just now, “How is this possible, how can a woman open a restaurant?”
“Xiao Lin, is what Auntie Cao said true? Are you really going to open it?” Dog egg mom hurriedly asked
Lin Minjun didn’t want to say it so early, but since it came out, she had to nod her head and admit it, “Yes, the restaurant is still doing the finishing touches, and it will be open soon”
“This can be really competent ha, you were still setting up stalls at first, it seems that self-employed people can really earn money”
“This is true, my third aunt’s youngest son in law’s brother heard in the park stall selling sugar gourds, less than a year people buy bicycles, I heard that this year are ready to marry a daughter-in-law, you say that this is not earn money, can not we also go to do self-employed?”
“Do self-employed, you do not want to work?”
“Resignation”
“If you quit, it will be a shame for the whole family, and your ancestors will crawl out of their graves to scold you”
The room was noisy, everyone was discussing whether self-employed people can make money or not, whether they can resign and go to sea, where still remember a Ling Ling
In the end, it was Yan Li who came out to mediate, pulling the topic back to Ling Ling, he looked at Lin Minjun, “Ah Jun, tell me, why do you suspect that it was Ling Ling’s object?”
Saying that, he stood directly behind Lin Minjun and didn’t say anything, but when Zhao Wei looked at him, he didn’t dare to jabber on about those women not being able to go out and set up store
Lin Minjun explained in detail: “You also know that Ling Ling often go to my store, sometimes it’s to eat a bowl of rice noodles, sometimes to chat with me, before she and that object did break up, but in the last month or so I’ve found that when Ling Ling comes over there’s always more things in her school bag, either a bottle of soda, or a bag of cookies, and then there’s this sugar ”
She held up the two candies in her hand, “This ginger candy because it’s spicy to eat, kids don’t like it anymore, they like the big white rabbits and red shrimp crisps and the like, there’s no co-op in the downtown area of the capital that sells them, only the outskirts of the city sell them, and Lingling’s ex-boyfriend lives in the outskirts of the city”
“You mean all this stuff is from that young man?”
“Yes And for the past month, Lingling has been coming to my place a little later than before, so I’m guessing she’s talking to that lad” Lin Minjun said, “Before I didn’t know that Ling Ling left with a man, I didn’t think of that, now that I think about it, I guess the two had broken up for a while before, and then when that young man came over to look for Ling Ling, he talked to her again, and then he followed the others”
“I know is this, all said, as for whether to go to find or depends on your opinion”
In the middle of the night, to go looking for it?
The neighbors remembered Ling Ling in their hearts again, but they didn’t know exactly where their ex-boyfriend’s house was, so one looked at the other, looked at each other, and then shifted their gazes back to Sister Xu
Sister-in-law Xu clenched her fists, “I want to go look for it, there are no other clues right now, so go over there and see if you might be able to find it”
Yan Li made an instant decision, “Let’s go together, all the young men with bicycles in the hutongs will go with me, one more person will have more strength”
“Then let’s all go, in case the family refuses to let Ling Ling out, we can more or less hold up our end!” Auntie Cao’s voice was loud and clear
Everyone responded, the older ones went home to look after their children, the rest went, the ones with cars rode bicycles with people on the back, about five or six cars went out from the hutong entrance in great numbers
Yan Li rode in the front, Lin Minjun sat in the back, hand playing a flashlight to the front lighting
Occasionally glance at the back, the hutong enthusiastic young men one by one riding panting, head sweating, froze, no one said to turn back
How to say, an era has an era of good and bad, decades later everyone lives in high-rise buildings, do not know who the neighbors across the street
In Lin Minjun’s memory, there were very few neighbors who could come out to look for someone as soon as they shouted
I do not know how long to ride a bike, from dark to dawn, from the city to the outskirts of the city, gradually invisible department stores and cinemas and other buildings, the roadside can see only farmland, endless farmland, short houses
Walked to the entrance of a village, this time the sky is already completely bright, the village people squatting in front of their homes to brush their teeth, puzzled to look at such a group of people
Sister-in-law Xu jumped off her bike with weak legs and looked around, “This is it, I’ve met with their family once before”
She pointed in a direction and said, “Go this way, I remember it was a small cottage”
Sure enough, it was a very remote place, there was no access road anymore, and the village looked like it didn’t have a cooperative yet, so I guess the conditions weren’t very good
But the village people are very enthusiastic, is so talking, someone ran over to ask the situation, “Comrade, what are you such a group of people to do, not bandits, right?”
“Old folks, have you ever seen bandits coming in broad daylight?” Auntie Cao smiled and said, “We’re here to look for someone Do you know where the family surnamed Qian lives in this village?”
“There are only two families surnamed Qian in the village, those who fled from abroad, which one are you looking for?”
“The family with the son, the son even found a city date” Auntie Cao said without hesitation
The old villager immediately pointed in the direction, “It’s right there, follow this road to the end, then turn the corner and you’ll be there”
We all followed the old township pointed out the road to find the past, at the end of the road to see a small house, a yellow soil embryo house, with a small kitchen, a young man squatting in front of the door, hand holding a tree branch in the mouth pounding around
This is Ling Ling’s ex-boyfriend, the ex-boyfriend
Sister-in-law Xu all the way upside down, legs soft as noodles, but she was the first to rush up, was about to ask this child has not seen the daughter
The words have not yet spoken, the man saw a group of people coming over, and then look at the front of the head of the sister-in-law Xu, he was as alert as a rabbit, spread legs to run
