wife scandal

It takes more than two hours to take the train from this city to Linhai City. The process of taking the train is very boring, especially since there are no seats on the train, so it is not very convenient for everyone to get together to chat and play cards. quiet.

Hai Chao took out a big mp4 and was watching a small movie. I turned on the music on my phone and listened to music with headphones. Maybe it was because I was bored. I dug out the small notepad in my bag and wanted to see Is there anything that has fallen on it lately.

That is, in the process of flipping through this little notebook, I happened to find the two addresses I copied from the anonymous email that day.

Looking at the address located in a famous old block in Linhai City, I thought about it, and thought to myself, if I can spare time during this trip, I can visit the owner of this address and see this What's the secret behind it?

This trip was still very pleasant. I traveled with my friend Haichao. I didn't have any psychological pressure and I was very relaxed.

Linhai City is a famous tourist city near the seaside. This trip is mainly for relaxation, so the travel route is relatively random and not so planned. In addition, Linhai City is not too far from the city where we live. Some famous We have visited the scenic spot with our family before, so we stayed away from those popular scenic spots this time.

On the first day, we went to the seaside, looked at the sea, and took some photos. I fulfilled my promise to my daughter and picked up some beautiful shells of different shapes for her and her good friend Ranran at the seaside. I bought some trinkets decorated with seafood; in the next two days, Hai Chao and I walked around several famous commercial streets and bought some clothes and gadgets for our two children.

On the fourth day, Wei Haichao suddenly received a call from her friend, who was a good friend of hers who lived in a dormitory at university. After graduation, she went to study abroad. She has been wandering abroad for many years, and often returns to China because of work. , but there are only a handful of opportunities to meet the tide.

Now, this friend of hers is on a business trip in a city not far from Linhai City. She heard that Hai Chao is here to relax and play, so she wanted to come over to meet her and catch up with her.

Hai Chao asked me to meet this friend with her, but I think two good friends who haven’t seen each other for many years will meet again, and there must be countless psychological things to confide in each other. It was necessary, so I said to Hai Chao: "Go and meet your classmate. I happen to be going to visit a friend's mentor in a community in Linhai City. Let's meet again at night."

Hearing what I said, Hai Chao thought for a while and agreed, "That's fine," and then told me, "Call me if you need anything."

I responded with a smile, and just like that, Hai Chao and I broke up in the morning. She went to the airport to pick up her classmate whom she hadn’t seen for many years. address.

This is an old community, a courtyard with a small single-family villa. This villa should have been built before liberation, but it was repaired later, so there are still some traces of modern painting besides the old masonry and concrete. The courtyard walls and gates are very old, especially the big black iron gate that has peeled off its paint. There are some lush plants around the small courtyard, but in the cold season of autumn and winter, the fresh green has faded, showing a bit of depression.

I stood outside the gate of the small courtyard looking around for a long time, and finally rang the doorbell.

A middle-aged woman came to open the door. She looked at me and asked hesitantly, "Who are you looking for?"

I compared the address with the house number, and then asked her softly, "Excuse me, is this old man Du Fanghua's original address?"

Hearing my question, the middle-aged woman was stunned. She asked me suspiciously: "Who is Du Fanghua?"

I was shocked. I thought that even if the old man Du Fanghua had passed away, the place where she once lived should be her descendants or relatives related to her. How could she not know who she was?

I hesitated, then made up a lie, smiled and said to the middle-aged woman: "Oh, I am a relative or friend of a student she once taught, and I will visit Teacher Du's descendants instead of him, to thank her Thanks to the professor."

Hearing what I said, this middle-aged woman was even more suspicious. She looked me up and down, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and said to me: "Oh, you are talking about the old lady who lived here? I don't know much about it. , because this house belongs to my cousin's family. I only know that they rented it to an old lady many years ago, but that family has moved away long ago. I don't know the specifics. You'd better look elsewhere Bar."

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she acted as if she was about to close the door to thank the guests. Seeing the scene, I thought that this time I couldn’t come in vain, so I stood at the door and forced a smile on my face and said to her: “Then may I ask you?” , is your cousin at home? May I inquire about this old man Du Fanghua? Because this is very important to us. My relatives and friends were deeply favored by her. Now I want to express my gratitude and hope to see her Descendants."

Seeing me pestering me endlessly, the woman began to frown. Seeing this scene, I thought for a while, then quickly took out my wallet from my bag, took out two RMB and handed it to the woman.

From her attire, I guess this middle-aged woman is a servant or helper of this house, so if you want her to pass the message to the master, you must give it a proper meaning.

This trick really worked, and the middle-aged lady immediately turned her anger into a smile, and said to me with a smile: "Then you come in with me, my cousin is not in good health, she is in the living room, you can ask her for details Bar."

I smiled and nodded, and followed the middle-aged woman into the living room. I saw an old woman with half-white hair sitting in a wheelchair in front of the window, and the middle-aged woman came to her and whispered something, Then he turned around and waved at me, and I walked slowly to the old woman.

The woman looked quite elegant, she smiled at me kindly, and then asked me: "You want to know something about the situation behind the old man Du Fanghua, right?"

I smiled and nodded at her, then murmured: "Yes, a relative or friend of mine was grateful for her teachings back then, and asked me to inquire about some of her behind-the-scenes circumstances."

Hearing what I said, the old lady nodded slowly, and then said to me: "The old man Du Fanghua passed away ten years ago."

I nodded slightly, and replied softly: "I have already learned about this in the newspaper, and I just want to know some details about her stay here." Then I looked around the house and asked softly, "This house is where she used to be." Rented?"

The old lady nodded slowly at me and replied: "Yes, after the old man Du Fanghua returned to China, he rented our house for a long time, and it seemed that he opened some kind of school. Later, when she suddenly fell ill, this school also opened. We can’t go on, and then we took the house back.”

I nodded slowly, and then asked again: "Then do you know who will take care of her when she is sick? Can you tell me the specific situation?"

The old lady took off her presbyopic glasses and looked me up and down. Maybe she didn’t dare to confirm my identity, so I repeated the nonsense that I just made up about some relatives and friends who were favored by Teacher Du many years ago, and now I want to express my gratitude to her descendants. over again.

Maybe seeing that I look weak and clean, I don’t look like some villain with impure purpose, so the old lady said to me slowly and reassuringly: “Mrs. She had no children, so no one took care of her at the time, but because of her special status, she was a returned overseas Chinese, so the government went to the countryside to find the daughter of her half-brother, and asked her to take care of her Mrs. Du, who is seriously ill, in return, Mrs. Du may have a small house in her name at that time, and after her death, this house will belong to the niece who took care of her when she was dying."

I nodded slowly, and then hurriedly asked: "Then how much do you know about the school founded by old man Du Fanghua?"

The old lady shook her head and replied slowly: "This house was left by our ancestors. It was confiscated during the Cultural Revolution and returned to our home after the Cultural Revolution. Du Fanghua rented this house from us shortly after returning to China. The house, we only know that she seems to have opened a school, but we don’t know the specifics. Later, she became seriously ill and all the people she employed left, so we took the house back.”

I was a little disappointed, but I still asked unwillingly: "Then where can I get some specific information about the school that old man Du Fanghua built?"

The old lady thought for a while and replied to me: "If you find the niece who took care of her in her later years, you may get more information, because after Mrs. Du passed away, all her personal belongings were left to her niece."

I prayed to this kind old lady: "Then can you provide me with the current address of Du Fanghua's niece?"

The old lady looked at me and said thoughtfully: "Before Du Fanghua rented our house, she registered some of her address information." Then she directed the middle-aged woman to take out a A large old account book, flipped through with thin and trembling fingers, and finally turned to a page, and pointed it out to me, "Here, this is the address, please write it down, if you have any questions, you can ask Du The old lady's niece."

I quickly thanked her gratefully, and then wrote down the address.

***

I searched all the way according to the address provided by the old lady, and finally found the current address of the old man Du Fanghua's niece.

It was an old community built in the 80s. When I found the house number, I rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered.

I had no choice but to go downstairs slowly and inquired downstairs. When I mentioned Du Fanghua's name and the specific situation of her niece, a kind old man downstairs who was familiar with the situation told me: "That Xiao Du, she runs a small supermarket on the street in front of the community, the supermarket is called Zhenzhen Supermarket, you can go find her there."

I thanked in a hurry, and then walked to the small supermarket.
