Chapter 508 It's Too Late to Regret

Wang Zhong's expression changed instantly. He looked at Yan Jiecheng, stood up and pointed his hand towards the door: "The door is over there, it's easy to leave."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yu Li was so angry that she raised her hand and gave Yan Jiecheng a slap, then quickly turned to explain to Wang Zhong: "Don't listen to what Yan Jiecheng is talking about. That's what he is like. He speaks without thinking and speaks without restraint."

"I have said everything that needs to be said. As for how to do it, it is your own business!" Wang Zhongdao: "In this matter, you have violated the law. I really can't help. If you want to find someone to help, If you speak to beg for mercy, please find another wise man.”

Wang Zhong's intention to see off his guests was already obvious. No matter how thick-skinned Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng were, they couldn't stay any longer, so they had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.

After the two left, Qin Jingru brought the cut fruit plate to Wang Zhong and said seriously: "I thought it was some good business to make money, but it turned out to be smuggling!"

"There is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world." Wang Zhong said: "Nowadays, there are many people selling goods from the south to the north. They have more connections and connections than them, and their backing is much stronger. If it weren't for smuggling, what would happen? There will be such high profits.”

"Then didn't they suffer a heavy loss this time?" Qin Jingru said with some gloating.

Wang Zhong said: "I guess I've already lost everything."

"Color TVs are cheap. Even if they are smuggled over, the cost is not low."

These days, let alone color TVs, even black and white TVs are not available in every household, not even in Peking, let alone other places.

In the past few years, the Yan family, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, had made some money by opening a restaurant, but without a skilled chef to join them, the business had been mediocre. It was not until it was later converted into a hot pot restaurant that it improved, but that was all. That's it.

"How can he stand the calculating temper of the third uncle?" Qin Jingru was watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. She was surprised and a little sarcastic.

Yan Fugui is well-known in the courtyard for his scheming. He never suffers a loss and even counts his own children clearly. Now that brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang have become like that, the people in the courtyard don't care. Feel surprised.

After all, as the old saying goes, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a mouse's son can dig holes. The four brothers and sisters of the old Yan family, together with their daughter-in-law Yu Li, have perfectly inherited Yan Fugui's calculating skills.

Wang Zhong said: "Can you bear it? Things are already like this. Is it possible that he can really get those color TVs back from the Anti-Smuggling Bureau?"

"It's true that we can't get those color TVs back?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

Wang Zhong said: "Anyway, I can't help it. Maybe the old Yan family has good hands and eyes, and they have a good way."

Qin Jingru said disdainfully: "If they could do that, why would they come to us to beg us!"

"You said that the third uncle and his family almost didn't get in. Why is Xu Damao fine?" Qin Jingru suddenly said doubtfully: "This morning I saw him humming a little tune and going out with a smile. Before leaving, He even said hello to me."

"What else could it be?" Wang Zhong said, "The smuggling of color TVs is not his fault."

Qin Jingru asked doubtfully: "But didn't the third uncle work with Xu Damao? And that deputy director Li, didn't Xu Damao also know him?"

But before Wang Zhong could answer, she reacted: "Could it be that they kicked Xu Damao and the whole family did it themselves?"

"I wonder why Xu Damao is so happy. He escaped disaster by co-authoring."

Listening to Qin Jingru's soliloquy, Wang Zhong didn't mean to interrupt. He picked up a piece of cut fruit with a wooden skewer and put it into his mouth.

"Tell me, Xu Damao is so lucky." Qin Jingru suddenly sat next to Wang Zhong and asked with a gossipy face: "Last time we cooperated with the second uncle to do business, something happened to the second uncle, and almost everyone was gone. Well, this time I cooperated with the third uncle, and the third uncle’s family was almost arrested by the Anti-Smuggling Bureau.”

"Could it be that Xu Damao's horoscope is too strong and you gave it to them?"

In the past, Wang Zhong really didn't believe in these gods and ghosts, but now even time travel can happen. Divine objects like the system actually appear in front of him, and as he practices Qi Kung Fu, As it grew stronger and more mysterious, Wang Zhong began to believe in these things.

Because of the unknown, there is fear.

Because I know, I am afraid.

"I can't say for sure." Wang Zhong shook his head.

Qin Jingru seemed to have discovered a new world: "I think it must be, otherwise, why has he had several wives over the years, but none of them can bear children for him."

"Well, Yu Haitang, after her second marriage a few years ago, she gave birth to a daughter not long ago. I heard that she was pregnant again recently." Qin Jingru's interest was extremely high when talking about these gossips.

"How do you know so clearly about Yu Haitang?" Wang Zhong asked curiously. Ever since Yu Haitang divorced Xu Damao, he has never been to the courtyard again and has no interaction with the people in the courtyard at all.

Qin Jingru said: "I heard that, didn't she and her current husband take over the hot pot restaurant owned by Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng? I heard that the business is quite booming."

Never underestimate women, their ability to gossip is beyond your imagination.

Wang Zhong didn't continue to ask about Yu Haitang's affairs, but Qin Jingru opened up the chatterbox and kept chattering. Wang Zhong didn't find it annoying. He ate fruit and listened quietly to Qin Jingru's gossip, and echoed a few words from time to time. , and cooperated to ask the previous question.

Not long after, Yan Fugui's family was released, and all the smuggled color TVs were seized. Li Huaide and You Fengxia disappeared long ago. Naturally, Yan Fugui's family could not get back the money they had been defrauded of.

In addition, they have to pay a substantial fine as punishment.

But the matter was not over yet. After Yan Fugui's family sold the iron and paid the fine, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi's brother and sister started quarreling again.

Instead of blaming all the blame on Yan Fugui, they also said that now they have lost all their money and they want Yan Fugui to compensate for their losses.

Like rogues, the three brothers and sisters moved their families back to the courtyard and lived together with Yan Fugui and his wife. Yan Fugui had long lost his father's dignity in front of his children, and he was very concerned about the three rogues. Children, but they couldn't say the words to sever the relationship between father and son, so they could only swallow the knocked out teeth.

Autumn turned to winter, and the weather gradually became colder. On weekends, Wang Zhong worked overtime in the factory, Wang Xinyi was busy doing an internship in the hospital, and Qin Jingru took Wang Heng to the department store on a bicycle to buy winter clothes.

It's the time when a child's body is growing, and he or she may grow taller after a few months. Although Wang Heng has not yet reached the stage of rapid growth, his height is still growing every year. Last year's winter coat was already a bit ill-fitting.

Qin Jingru thought about taking Wang Heng to the department store to buy two new winter coats. Mother and son were riding bicycles on the road, surrounded by traffic and pedestrians.

Suddenly Wang Heng said loudly: "Mom, do you think that person is the third uncle?"

"Which one?" It was the weekend, and there were many people walking on the street. Now that the weather was getting colder, everyone was wearing a lot of clothes. Qin Jingru scanned around and didn't see Yan Fugui, the third uncle mentioned by Wang Heng.

"The one next to the trash can in front is wearing a military coat and a black hat. Look, he is still rummaging through the trash can!"

Qin Jingru looked in the direction pointed by Wang Heng and said, "You are wrong. The third uncle is also a retired people's teacher. How can he pick up garbage?"

"Really?" Wang Heng was not sure, "But from what I see, he looks like the third uncle?" Qin Jingru felt a shiver in her heart: "You must have seen it wrong."

"Mom, stop for a moment. I'll go over and see if it's the third uncle!" Wang Heng said and was about to get out of the car.

Qin Jingru had no intention of stopping, "Do you still want to buy new clothes? It's already late for us to go out. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to deliver food to your dad in time."

"Okay!" Wang Heng could only compromise.

In the evening, Wang Zhong didn't get home until after nine o'clock. Wang Heng had already been driven back in by Qin Jingru. Qin Jingru was sitting in the living room watching TV. When she heard the door open, she hurriedly stood up and went to greet him. She took the coat handed over by Wang Zhong and expressed her concern. asked: "Why is it so late today?"

"I'm too busy. I'll probably have to work overtime for a while." Wang Zhong said.

"Have you eaten yet? I made fried noodles? Do you want it to be hotter?"

"Hot spot!" Wang Zhong got into the toilet, and Qin Jingru followed him into the kitchen and got busy.

Not long after, Qin Jingru served a bowl of steaming fried noodles and a large bowl of radish and pork ribs soup that had been simmering on the stove.

"That's right, the fried sauce is quite good today." After a mouthful of fried noodles, Wang Zhong nodded and looked at Qin Jingru and praised.

"If it's not enough, there's still more in the pot!" Qin Jingru said.

"Eat first!"

While Wang Zhong was eating noodles, Qin Jingru hesitated for a moment and told Wang Zhong what happened during the day.

"Today I took Xiao Heng to the department store. On the way, I happened to see the third uncle dressed in disguise and digging through the trash cans on the roadside. Judging from his posture, he looked like he was picking up waste."

"Scavenging?" Wang Zhong nodded and said unconcernedly: "The old man is getting old and can't stay idle. It's not surprising that he can find something to do to make money and supplement the family income."

Qin Jingru said: "I heard from the third aunt that the old couple's coffin books were all used to pay the fine for smuggling color TVs last time, and they also borrowed a lot of foreign debts. Now Yan Jiefang and the others have raised their families. Living in the courtyard, eating, drinking, and having sex are all paid for by the third uncle and the third aunt. The third uncle’s monthly retirement salary is barely enough for them to eat alone.”

"Do you think the third uncle went out to pick up scraps because he didn't have enough money?"

"Probably!" Wang Zhong said.

"If others find out about this, then Yan Jiefang and the others will not be beaten to death by spitting stars." Qin Jingru said.

Wang Zhong said: "If spitting stars could kill people, they would have been killed long ago. Why wait until now?"

"Hey!" Qin Jingru sighed and said with emotion: "It's the same with the third uncle and the third aunt. They have been plotting their whole lives, and now they are here, but they still have to suffer this kind of crime."

"Unkind parents, unfilial children." Wang Zhong said: "As for the third uncle's daughters, none of them are selfish and as shrewd as ghosts."

Qin Jingru knew Wang Zhong's attitude towards the people in the courtyard, so naturally she didn't ask for help.

But I never imagined that things in the world would be unpredictable. It rained continuously all night, and as we watched the winter moon enter, the goose-feather heavy snow suddenly came to the world, covering the entire city of Peiping with a thick white quilt.

In the morning, Wang Zhong led Wang Heng back from morning exercises. Before he entered, he saw an ambulance parked in front of his yard. Several caregivers in white came out of the yard carrying a stretcher. Yan Fugui, who looked haggard, followed closely. in the back.

"Isn't that Third Aunt?" Wang Heng looked at the Third Uncle on the stretcher and looked at Wang Zhong in confusion: "Dad, what's wrong with Third Aunt?"

"I don't know. You go find your mother first, and I'll ask." Wang Heng hurriedly ran into the courtyard, and Wang Zhong greeted him: "Third uncle, what's wrong?"

Yan Fugui said anxiously: "I don't know either. Yesterday he was fine. But when I got up early this morning, I couldn't wake him up no matter how I screamed."

Wang Zhong took a closer look at the third aunt's face and already had some judgment in his mind, but the conclusion based on observation alone needed more evidence to confirm the disease.

Yan Fugui put on his coat and followed the third aunt into the ambulance, rushing all the way to the hospital.

However, the Yan Jiekuang brothers turned around and went back to the house as if nothing had happened. They didn't look anxious or worried at all.

Such a big thing naturally caused quite a stir in the hospital. Qin Jingru helped make the call for the ambulance.

In the afternoon, Yan Fugui came back from the hospital with a dejected look on his face, his head lowered, his eyes blank and lifeless.

"Third uncle, what's wrong?" Qin Jingru took the initiative to greet Yan Fugui: "How is third aunt?"

But Yan Fugui acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He walked to his door blankly, pushed the door open, and closed the door behind him.

"Could it be that Third Aunt..." Qin Jingru suddenly looked stunned, with a bit of disbelief.

Sure enough, the news of the third aunt's death came back from the hospital. The third uncle seemed to have lost his soul all day long. Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li also hurried back home.

It's just that the brothers and sisters had differences over how to deal with Third Aunt's funeral. Third Aunt's body was still lying in the morgue of the hospital, so they started to quarrel at home.

It costs money to arrange funeral arrangements. Each of the brothers and sisters is a scheming master, and no one wants to be the 'taken advantage of'.

The three younger ones said that Yan Jiefang and Yu Li lived in the courtyard, and since they were the eldest members of the family, they were the ones who should have paid the third aunt's death, so naturally they should pay for it.

But Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li said that they were brothers and sisters from the same mother, and they were both born from the belly of the third aunt. Due to emotional reasons, they should all contribute the money together to show their filial piety.

In short, we started arguing again over the word money.

Yan Fugui looked at the quarrels between his children and thought about his wife who had become a cold corpse lying in the hospital morgue. All the past events came to mind, and tears of regret overflowed from his eyes at some point. slipped from the cheek.

Yan Fugui rested his elbows on the table and supported the side of his forehead with his palms. Looking at the scene in front of him, his heart became increasingly sad and he shook his head with self-mockery.

But what’s the point of regretting it now that it’s over? Now that she is his wife, what difference will it make when it comes to him in the future?
