Sweet 80s

The more Zhou Zheng praised Lin Xiangdong, the more uncomfortable Yang Hongxia felt.

Unable to bear it any longer, Yang Hongxia interrupted him.

"Yes, Sister Xiaoping is lucky."

Zhou Zheng thought the cooking was about right.

"Then the day after tomorrow...or maybe we shouldn't go. Xiangdong can't come, so if we go alone...would it be inappropriate and cause people to misunderstand..."

Yang Hongxia was depressed and lost at this time.

She was in a bad mood at that moment, but when Zhou Zheng gave her a little wind, she suddenly felt the will to fight against fate.

"Go, why not? There's nothing to be misunderstood about friends going out to eat together. This isn't the old society."

While the other party was angry and not paying attention, Zhou Zheng suddenly raised the corner of his mouth to reveal a barely perceptible smile.

After agreeing on the time and place for the meeting, Zhou Zheng left the Yang family as Yang Hongxia saw him off.

After returning to the room, Yang Hongxia immediately called her husband Liu Yongqing to tell him about the opening of her friend's noodle restaurant, and then wanted to ask her husband to go with her.

The two have been married for many years, although their relationship is dull.

However, Yang Hongxia knew Liu Yongqing's character very well.

After just two sentences on the phone, the other party hung up the phone hastily, saying he was busy with work.

Not only was she not angry about this, but her expression showed a hint of pride.

Zhou Zheng rode his bicycle aimlessly on the streets. When he thought about facing Wu Aimin when he returned home, his face was filled with melancholy.

I rode leisurely to a small restaurant I usually go to, ordered a plate of peanuts and a plate of edamame, and drank half a pound of wine.

I endured two more hours before I had to return home.

As soon as she entered the door, Wu Aimin couldn't help complaining about the smell of alcohol on her body.

"Why did you drink so much again..."

Zhou Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to her. He walked straight to the sofa, lay down on his side, and picked up the newspaper to read.

"I just met Xiangdong on the way home from get off work. He asked if you went to the police station. Did you ask him how the matter went?"

Zhou Zheng said in a cold tone without even raising his head.

"Well, the case is ongoing."

Wu Aimin wanted to know the specific progress, so she sat down next to him.

The sofa collapsed and left a hole, causing Zhou Zheng to slide to the right more than ten centimeters.

"Can't you go a little slower? This sofa...ah..."

Zhou Zheng was halfway through his words, and really didn't want to waste any more words with the other party.

"What's going on? What did the police say? When can we get the money back?"

"do not know."

"How could I not know? Isn't that person awake? Why don't we just ask him to hand over the money?"

He was reading the newspaper with great interest when the other party kept asking questions and Zhou Zheng responded impatiently.

"It's not that simple. The money might have been spent or transferred. The police told us to wait for news."

Wu Aimin became a little anxious when she heard this.

"Then let the police freeze his savings, and take control of his house and other properties..."

Wu Aimin became more and more angry as she spoke, and she slapped Zhou Zheng and urged him to go to the police station again.

It was the other party's responsibility in the first place. He used the family savings without telling me and caused so much trouble.

In the end, I have to run between the hospital and the police station like a dog.

Now that they have realized the seriousness of the problem, they have begun to point fingers at the police's handling of the case.

The more Zhou Zheng thought about it, the angrier he became. His patience had reached its limit.

With the alcohol in his body, he suddenly shook off Wu Aimin's arm, stood up, crumpled the newspaper in his hand into a ball and threw it to the ground.

This has never happened before.

After the two got married, Zhou Zheng had no say in any major or minor matters in the family.

Wu Aimin's strong personality has always been dominant, which is also one of the main reasons why his emotions that had been suppressed for many years suddenly erupted.

Zhou Zheng roared hysterically.

"You know shit! What are you nagging about? Didn't I tell you last time that that bastard cheated a lot of people? What's the matter? Is this police station owned by your family? They do nothing but serve you!"

The sudden roar frightened the children who were playing in the house, so much so that they dared not say a word and secretly observed the two people.

"You're worried because your money was cheated. Why didn't you do anything earlier? Your brother is a scumbag. Your dad has always treated him like a baby. If you have the ability, clean up his mess and return the money to me!"

Wu Aimin was confused by the other party's shouting and sat on the sofa in a daze.

"Don't think I'm just saying this in anger. Let me tell you, Wu Aimin, if this money is even a penny less, not only will we get divorced, but your whole family will be in trouble!"

After venting his anger, Zhou Zheng turned and walked to the gate. With a loud bang, he left without looking back.

The children were tactful and stayed quiet.

Wu Aimin bent forward, put her head in her hands, and rubbed her face with her hands to keep herself calm.

A few minutes later, she stood up and told her eldest daughter to look after her younger sister, and took her youngest son Goudan back to her parents' home overnight to discuss countermeasures.

It was nearly eleven o'clock.

The old couple of the Wu family went to bed early, but were woken up by Wu Aimin.

Seeing his daughter crying, the old lady felt really distressed.

Mother Wu took the grandson who was sleeping in Wu Aimin's arms and carried him into the room. When she came out, she winked at Father Wu.

As luck would have it, this scene was noticed by Wu Aimin.

She immediately sensed something was wrong and asked.

"Dad, Mom, are you hiding something from me?"

Wu's mother was a soft-hearted person. She opened her mouth to speak but was stopped by Wu's father, who was wearing a pair of extra-thick myopic glasses.

Want to cover up.

As a result, Wu Aimin became more certain of his guess.

"You know where Xiaoliang is now, right?"

The two looked at each other without saying anything.

Wu Aimin became anxious and continued to ask questions by slamming the table and raising his voice.

"Mom and Dad, if you really know where he is hiding, please tell me. Maybe he can find a way to help me get the money back!"

"What can he do? He is like a clay Buddha crossing a river..."

"Wife!"

Father Wu wanted to stop it but was half a step too late.

Wu Aimin was so angry that she stood up: "You really do know!"

When Father Wu saw that he could no longer hide the truth, he had no choice but to confess.

"What can I do even if I know? Your mom is right. Xiaoliang can't even protect himself right now. Forget about paying you back. It's not even certain whether he can even have a meal tomorrow!"

"Dad, you're still thinking about his food problem. My family is about to fall apart. Lao Zhou said that if I can't pay him back, he'll divorce me!"

"Divorce me if you want. I didn't like him back then. What future can a lousy driver have?"

Father Wu was so angry that he suddenly sat up straight and shouted arrogantly.

"You are just a loser. You fell in love with him after just one meeting. Isn't your uncle Zhao's son good? He was promoted to deputy section chief last year. In less than three to five years, he will be a department-level cadre..."

"Ah~"

Wu Aimin sighed deeply.

"You want someone to be your son-in-law, but they don't like me."

"So what? Just based on my relationship with your Uncle Zhao, how could he not agree? I saved his life back then, on the Korean battlefield..."

The more we talk, the further we get from each other.

Wu Aimin rolled her eyes impatiently.

"Stop, stop, stop, Dad. What's the point of bringing up these old things? Let's talk about money now."

After hearing this, although Mr. Wu was still angry, he frowned and said nothing more.

Seeing that his father was determined to help Wu Xiaoliang hide, Wu Aimin had to find another breakthrough.

"Alright, alright. I'm worried about my two daughters being at home this late. Mom, go get Goudan and we'll go back... Never mind, I'll go..."

After saying that, Wu's mother turned around and went back to the house.

Wu Aimin followed him in.
