From Cultivator to Widow - Chapter 84
Someone asked her to stop, and Su An realized that there was no one else here except herself, so they were talking about herself. He said that he was an accomplice, a capitalist?
Su An glanced at the young man who was stopped. She just didn’t care much, and she also confirmed that he really just bumped herself and didn’t take the opportunity to put anything in her pocket.
Is he a capitalist? That is, the descendants of the people who were knocked down at this time?
The two people who were chasing the young man just stopped him, their tone was not very good: “Yes, it’s you, what are you looking at? Looking around.”
He looked Su An up and down, looking at “his” clothes, face and hands.
Very common, very common.
“You bumped into each other just now, and now we suspect that you are speculating. Let’s be honest, be lenient when confessing, and be strict when resisting, understand.”
They have long been accustomed to this attitude, and their status and power have given them the capital of pride.
Su An raised her eyebrows slightly.
“Don’t involve innocent passers-by, this comrade and I don’t know each other at all! I just didn’t see anyone in front of me, and I bumped into him!” Seeing the two of them surrounded Su Hui, the young man was caught in embarrassment , some anxiously shouted.
The shorter one in front of Su An snorted coldly, “Did you really know if you didn’t know each other? If you knew each other beforehand, pretend you didn’t.”
He looked at Su An, who was carrying a bamboo basket on her back, which she used to hide her eyes and ears. If there was any deal, she could take something from here.
Now her basket has become the key point: “Take this thing down and show us what’s in it?” Her basket was so tightly covered that it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside.
Su An put down her backpack silently. She has suffered an unwarranted disaster, so she should check her letter of introduction. If it is not checked, it is a fake. If you really check it, you will definitely find the problem.
It didn’t matter what was in her back basket, because there were only two catties of rice, two handfuls of wild vegetables, and the rest was gone.
Su Hui put down the basket and showed it to them: “I brought this to my relatives, you can take a look.”
The contents inside kept their sight for a while longer.
The rice looks good, but the wild vegetables are worthless.
The short man picked up the rice and weighed it. There was nothing else in the basket, so he could only look at him.
He opened his mouth and buckled his hat: “Now we have to check on you, comrade, you are upright, you won’t object.”
Su An looked at him lightly for two seconds, then nodded slowly: “Okay, check it out.”
Then, she took a step back, and a miraculous thing happened like this. The short man touched the place in front of Su An and reached into her pocket. In fact, there was a distance of more than ten centimeters between the two.
After fumbling around, he didn’t find anything, and the short man’s brows furrowed.
The young man on the other end was a little anxious: “I said it all, we don’t know each other, you must have some misunderstanding.”
One of the people who grabbed him snorted coldly: “What is the misunderstanding? We have been staring at you early in the morning. Your capitalist grandfather is seriously ill, and your poor mouse will not visit your house. Where is the medicine he takes? Where did you come from? Where did you get the food? You must be hiding something!”
The young man defended: “It was given to us by well-meaning people. My grandfather helped a lot of people back then.”
Hearing this, the faces of the two people holding him were a little ugly: “What do you mean by helping a lot of people? It’s obviously capital exploitation. They don’t know how to protect their rights and interests, so they feel that they have been helped. Exploited people!”
For this answer, the young man was silent, but his tensed jaws all expressed his different opinions.
Their family has obviously helped many people, otherwise how could everyone give them so much help at this difficult time. Knowing that there is no rice in his house, he secretly put some food in front of his house and by the window.
This is definitely not something exploited and enslaved to do.
The person who caught him saw his expression at close range, and shoved him fiercely: “What are you pulling, we will keep watching you, your grandfather’s illness is not all right! Don’t worry, we will I’ve been looking at you.” Those words were a bit gloomy.
The two people who stopped Su An at the other end found nothing and were not reconciled.
When there is no evidence, it is not easy for them to start with young people. His grandfather still has some incense, but he has no scruples about this passing person. It doesn’t look like this suit has any background. Wild vegetables can only be found in this country. They don’t have any in the city at all. They have no power and no power, which means they are easy to bully. Moreover, they have been busy for so long, and how can they go home empty-handed? These two kilograms of rice are not much, but You can also make a meal of rice, and you can reluctantly reward them for their hard work.
The two looked at each other and agreed.
“Where is your letter of introduction, take it out, are you not from the provincial capital?”
Su An took out her homemade letter of introduction, which stated the address and name of a village around the provincial capital. The address was real and the name was fake. If there is no such person, at that time, in this era, it is estimated that they will treat her as a refugee of unknown origin or even a spy who endangers national security.
Su An felt that the problem was not a big deal, and she could change her face, address and name in the future.
“Where are your relatives? Come and listen, you have to think about it carefully, don’t say anything casually, if there is no such person, you are here to speculate!” Two catties of rice is not much, but it is not impossible to speculate. .
Su An recalled the street and house number she had just walked through, and deliberately chose the fracture at a place that was separated by a distance.
“32 Qingshi Road.”
“He said that his house is easier to recognize. He planted a sweet-scented osmanthus tree right next to the door. I’m still looking for that sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Do you know where this place is?”
“Osmanthus tree?” He sneered, “What is Qingshi Road? There is no such street, wait, are you talking about Green Stone Road?” Your relative, check it and then confirm!”
As for whether or not to go looking for it, of course not. First arrest him for a day or two, and then send a message to his home to see if they can produce any evidence or what the relationship is. Let’s see how to deal with it.
go with them? This can’t be done, Su An nodded, then turned her head directly, ran away, and said as she ran, “I didn’t take any chances, if you go in, you won’t be able to get out. Don’t try to lie to me.”
The short man was in a hurry: “Don’t run, stop, don’t run!”
Su Hui was not that young man. He ran very fast, turned two corners, and disappeared. It was not like before when he caught the young man. He planned the route in advance and blocked the young man before he caught the young man. If she couldn’t run and run, she could only escape.
But they left the back basket, and the two of them scolded: “Come back, this turtle son, he ran very fast, if he ran away, the monk couldn’t escape the temple, so he will go to their village to find him tomorrow! nice!”
The cannon fodder was still in place, and the basket was still there. He took out the rice and divided it into 4 portions, put them into his pockets, and threw the worthless basket and wild vegetables in a corner, and the four of them left.
The young man left when they were chasing Su An, he didn’t dare to go anywhere else, he just went home.
He really took something to exchange for something. His grandfather was ill, and he needed medicine and food to replenish his body. Unfortunately, when he found out that they were chasing him, he was afraid of an accident and threw it into the ditch. Don’t even dare to look for it.
And those 4 people walked scoldingly, saying that their efforts were wasted today, complaining about the situation today, suddenly, one of them tripped over a protruding stone and stumbled two steps. Someone in front of him subconsciously pushed, Pushing the person in front of him, he slammed into the corner of the wall, and a front tooth flew out just like that.
The short man saw the blood on his lips and the hollow felt on the tip of his tongue, so he directly squeezed his fist and came up: “You son of a bitch! You pushed me?! Do you need to beat me!”
“Don’t do it, I didn’t do it on purpose, I tripped over a stone.”
“Look here, where are the stones?! You did it on purpose!”
“I’m not, really, don’t do it, oh! You **** #*&…”
Two people from outside the two went up to pull the frame, pulled and pulled, and were accidentally injured several times. Did the fist fly out and hit the body, talking and talking or not listening, and it became a fire for a while. Now they’re still beating themselves, and that’s okay.
The 4 of them huddled together. Su An watched this wonderful scene on the street corner, nodded with satisfaction, flashed her figure, left here, and followed the direction of the youth. She was a little curious, and now there is still some time, then Just follow along.
Shen Chengfeng is the grandson of Shen Chenwei.
In the past, Chen Chenwei was a well-known doer in the provincial capital. He opened several factories, including shoe factories, sugar factories, and garment factories. He also sold overseas. He was also famous for his righteousness. Good deeds, building roads and building bridges, and delivering medicines for free, although many people say that he accumulated virtue for the only seedling under his knees, and his only son was frail since childhood.
When the accident happened, he sent his son and daughter-in-law to Hong Kong City overnight. The grandson had no choice but to take it with him if he missed it.
If the son is not sent away, he will be raised in meditation and often check on the doctor’s physical condition. If he stays, it will be a dead end.
In addition to sending away his son, his property was also donated for free.
Only the two houses that the servants lived in before were left to their grandfather.
After the former mansion was confiscated, it was distributed to many people who did not have a house.
It’s been ruined for a long time.
Now the two of them live in the house where the night watch servants lived, which is less than ten square meters in total. It is short and narrow. The only advantage may be that it is relatively quiet.
He walked in, his grandfather was coughing on the bed, next to a bowl of white water that was about to bottom out.
“Grandpa, I’m back.” He whispered.
Although, in Grandpa’s sight, he shook his head slightly, looking a little depressed.
Of course, Grandpa was already prepared. He secretly had things secretly, and one after another, he also changed a lot of things to meet unexpected needs, but recently, they have been watched more and more tightly, even if there was a grandfather back then His loyal servants and the current neighbors helped, but there was nothing they could do, and they were all targeted together.
Now the things at home can only last for a few days. The point is that my grandfather is sick and there is no money to get medicine.
It doesn’t matter if you’re hungry a few times, it doesn’t matter if you’re sick, especially when your grandfather is old.
Today, I managed to avoid people to pick up something, and I almost got caught.
“Chengfeng, cough, it’s okay, I’m not seriously ill.” Shen Chen closed his eyes slightly and encouraged his grandson with a smile.
“Before I was sick, I would deliberately starve a few times, which can improve the body’s ability to fight disease.”
How can this be the same.
At that time, I just didn’t eat anything else, only porridge and medicine.
“It’s getting late now, go get busy.”
Shen Chengfeng has a job. Because of his grandfather’s contribution, his grandfather got a freelance job in the library before, and later passed it on to Shen Chengfeng.
The treatment of idle workers is very general, but at least he can support himself.
That is, with such a job, the two of them can survive.
“Someone changed classes before and changed it with me. I have a rest today. You forgot about it, Grandpa.” Mu Chenwei really forgot.
old and old.
This is not acceptable.
I also subconsciously thought that my grandson was going to work.
“In that case, take a good rest.”
“No, grandpa, I’ll go dig some wild vegetables and come back.”
“Alright, let’s go.” Shen Chenwei was reluctant for his grandson to do such a job, but he couldn’t say it.
What do they eat without going.
Now he is not the eldest young master of the Shen family, but an ordinary Shen Chengfeng who is also tired of his background.
“Knock knock knock.”
There was a polite knock on the door, and the expressions of the grandfather and grandson inside were stunned.
who is it?
People who know each other will speak out before they arrive. If it is someone who smashes their homes, it is impossible to be so polite and gentle.
“who is it?”
“Comrade, I just picked up your belongings, and they are returned to their original owners.”
This voice is a bit familiar.
Ah, the comrade who was implicated by him!
Shen Chengfeng quickly repeated the story briefly, Shen Chen looked at the direction of the door thoughtfully, and turned up the volume: “There are guests coming, why don’t you open the door quickly.”
It was Su An who was smiling.
Now he still has a backpack on his back.
“Comrade, please come in.” Shen Chengfeng greeted her to come in.
“The house is simple and there is nothing to entertain, please don’t take offense.”
Su An waved her hand: “It’s okay, it’s okay, didn’t I just run away, and then I accidentally picked up something, I guess it’s yours, so I’ll return it to you.” Su An took out a small jade pendant from her pocket.
The style of Pisces playing beads is medium in carving and medium in jade quality.
Taking out the money, Shen Chengfeng estimated that it could be exchanged for twenty or thirty. At this time, it could also cover a month’s wages of ordinary workers.
Admit it, of course, cannot be admitted.
“Comrade, you misunderstood, this is not my thing.”
Shen Chengfeng categorically denied the fact that the jade pendant belonged to him. It was indeed the jade pendant that he threw into the roadside ditch in a hurry. Afterwards, it took a lot of effort to find it by himself. But now, he Is it really a coincidence that he came back with his front and back feet and brought this jade pendant?
Or, he is not a passerby at all, but someone who has been staring at himself, watching where he threw it, and then he, or his companion, found this jade pendant, and now bring it to him, Are you trying to trick him and grab him?
“Really? Maybe I made a mistake.” Su Hui didn’t mean to force him to admit it, and put the jade pendant on the table next to her: “By the way, when I was checking my letter of introduction, the address and The names are all fake.” A simple smile appeared on his disguised face.
“Because I do business secretly, it is not convenient to meet people with real information.”
Shen Chengfeng didn’t know what to say for a while.
Is it really good to admit that you are fake and admit that you are doing business like this?
And you fake identity information like this, are you really not a badass?
The one that needs to be sanctioned by the state?
Shen Chenwei didn’t show any surprised expression.
Oh, “I don’t know what happened to this comrade? Cough cough.”
“Cough cough cough…”
He coughed twice, he wanted to temporarily suppress himself from coughing, but instead coughed harder.
Shen Chengfeng was worried and brought him water: “Grandpa, do you want to drink some water?”
“No need.” Shen Chen waved his hand slightly, motioned his grandson to put down the water, and showed an embarrassed smile to Su An: “I made the guests laugh.”
“No, sir, you’re too polite. I’ll come to the door and naturally have some things to do. I think maybe you have needs, and I can meet them here, so everyone can take what they need.” Su An took out a glass bottle, There are some black pills in it.
“These pills are just for Mr. Shen’s symptoms. Of course, we didn’t know each other before. You may have doubts about me. You can ask someone to take them for examination. , eat enough for three days to get sick.” She opened the lid and handed it to Shen Chenwei.
Shen Chen took it in a little silence and put it on the tip of his nose. He also had some understanding of Qi Huang’s technique.
Because he has a son who has been in poor health since childhood, he has put a lot of effort into medicine.
He was very familiar with the commonly used medicinal materials, and in these pills, he smelled some familiar medicinal materials.
He smiled and said, “If you don’t believe it, there is nothing in our family that is worth caring about.”
He poured one into his mouth, took the water and swallowed it like that.
Shen Chengfeng frowned in disapproval, but he always had no way to change his mind about his grandfather’s decision. He could only keep an eye on his grandfather’s performance. If something was wrong, he would immediately take him to the hospital.
Seeing him like this, the “simple and honest” smile on Su An’s face deepened.
“Wait for a while, the effect of the medicine will take effect, and the cough will not be so bad. If you are weak, you have to keep up with what you eat.”
“I’m a foreigner, I’m not familiar with the provincial capital, and I can’t get anything good. This time, let’s recognize that we are familiar. This jade pendant is not yours, so I will accept it. When the time comes, it will be returned to its original owner.” Su An put down her back basket and took out the contents one by one.
“Here are 5 jins of rice, 5 jins of flour, 2 jins of sugar, 20 jins of dried sweet potatoes, 10 jins of food stamps, 3 jins of dried meat, 1 bag of malted milk essence, 2 bottles of medicine for body nourishment, and 2 bottles of medicine for colds and colds. , this conditioning body can eat, eat one a day.”
When she took it out, she added: “These were also picked up by me on the road. My next time, it should be this time in two months, the error will not be too big, and I will come again and bring other things. It is rare that we can say, Maybe then we can talk, huh?”
Shen Chengfeng stared at those things for three seconds. This person didn’t know his details, or whether he was a ghost or a ghost, but these things were indeed what they needed right now.
In his situation, there is no way to pre-collect the salary, and the last month’s salary has been spent before, so there are only a few days of food left, and there are still more than half a month left. I don’t know how to support it. Going down, the most important thing is grandpa’s illness.
He looked at his grandfather.
Shen Chenwei looked at Su An with a calm and unwavering look, and did not speak, making it impossible to imagine what he was thinking.
Such people, he did not know how much he had dealt with earlier, as long as it was profitable, they would appear by their side.
Now is it to see that the two of them are profitable?
His eyes fluttered lightly from the things he took out. These things, which he hadn’t looked at before, but now…
His old bones don’t matter, but he still has a grandson, he is still so young, how can he rest assured that he is left alone, and his son doesn’t know what’s going on.
He can’t die yet.
After being silent for a while, he said, “Comrade, you are right. After that, we will meet. We will see you again.”
Su An didn’t delay: “It’s getting late, so I won’t bother.”
“Comrade, walk slowly.” Not even a title.
But it doesn’t matter, sometimes knowing too much doesn’t help.
Then Su An carried an empty backpack and left with the jade pendant.
The market price of this jade pendant is about the same as the price she took out. Now they meet for the first time, they have doubts in their hearts, and leave two months of free time. After seeing everything calm down, they will understand that she is really the same as those here. People have no relationship, no relationship, can trade, if you want to make your life better, you will naturally agree to do a business.
Perhaps the real top-quality jade that she has not yet obtained will be obtained from them.
As soon as the person left, Shen Chengfeng frowned and couldn’t wait to ask him, “Grandpa, is this person credible? Isn’t this a trap?”
Shen Chen sighed slightly: “I can’t see through this person, he’s not like them, but his origin is unknown.”
He wouldn’t take these things if he had other options.
“Will you put these things away?” It’s not good if someone comes, you can speak slowly.
Shen Chengfeng responded and immediately put these things into a hole they dug under the bed.
There was also a dilapidated box containing debris blocking the entrance of the cave.
“Grandpa, is the medicine okay?” It’s easy to say what you eat, but what if the origin of the medicine is unknown, what if it is harmful?
“I recognize a few herbs in that pill, so it should be fine. By the way, isn’t there malted milk essence? You can make two bowls now.”
“I don’t want it, I’m so old, grandpa, drink it.”
Shen Chen shook his head slightly: “I won’t drink if you don’t drink.”
Shen Chengfeng: “…”
In the end, the two of them drank a bowl each.
For the sweet taste, both of them haven’t had it in a long time.
Just relying on Shen Chengfeng’s idle work, that is, to be able to support himself, the two of them are not very well-off, and his grandfather’s health is not very good. If you can secretly exchange the things you hid before, you can get through it.
Malt milk is a luxury, and Shen Chengfeng couldn’t remember when he last drank it.
Others help themselves, that is, some coarse grains, and there are few refined grains, let alone such precious things.
Chen Chenwei: “Since you have these things, don’t do anything else during this time.” With these things, plus the grandson’s salary, it will be enough to last.
“Yes, Grandpa.” This is also what Shen Chengfeng meant. During this period of time, those people were watching too closely, and it was easy to be caught if they did anything. This time, if it wasn’t a last resort, he didn’t want to take any action.
On the other end, Su An had already got into the car to go back.
She was in a good mood. She paid for things that were insignificant to her, and made a good deal. Maybe next time there will be a good harvest. It doesn’t matter if you don’t. deficit.
If there is a harvest, she has a hunch, it will be a bumper harvest.
