The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature

These days, nylon stockings are a hot commodity, selling for one dollar a pair in stores and for two dollars a pair on the black market.

After putting on the socks, the women's wariness towards Black Wing disappeared and they all gave him suggestions. Black Wing smiled and took out a small notebook to write them down.

As they were talking, Liu Chang'e and the man came down from upstairs. After Hei Yi and the others walked away, he asked, "Those two people also live here? What's their relationship? They don't look like mother and son to me."

The women took one look and said disdainfully, "What mother and son? They are a couple. The man said he was Xiao Du's comrade-in-arms. I haven't seen him before. He has been coming here for the past half month. I don't think he is a good person. He wears slick clothes all day long and doesn't look like he has a job. How do you know him?"

Black Wing frowned. "I don't know him. I just met him on the road. The woman wanted to introduce the man to her daughter. She said the man's surname is Du and he drives a car for a leader. She also said she doesn't want a dowry from the man's family. Her daughter wanted to visit their home, but they kept making excuses. I always felt that something was wrong. From what the lady said, the woman wanted to introduce her own man to her daughter? I've lived for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I've seen such a thing."

"Is there such a thing? I've lived for more than fifty years, and this is the first time I've seen such a thing."

"That's not right. Isn't his last name Zhang? How come his last name is Du? Hongyu, do you think I remembered it wrong?"

The woman who was named said, "You remember correctly. When they came over yesterday, I heard Lao Du's wife call him Xiao Zhang. She also said that he had just retired from the army and was waiting for a job. I knew they were not good people. As expected, how could a mother be so calculating towards her own daughter?"

Someone nearby thought of something, "This doesn't make sense. The Du couple had been asking people everywhere to introduce good-looking people to their son, and they said that if the relationship worked out, they would give a dowry of 1,000 yuan, plus three transfers and one ring, and they would give half of their salary to the couple in the future. But they never said they wouldn't give a dowry, could it be that the dowry was embezzled by those two people?"

"I think so!" Black Wing clenched his right fist and angrily hit his left palm. "I also heard from that woman's daughter that her husband died in the line of duty. She took her husband's pension and the family's money and ran away with another man. It's not surprising that a woman like this can do anything. She must have teamed up with that man to cheat both sides."

A woman curled her lips, "It's not necessarily a double-deal. The girl may not know about it, but how could the Du couple not know about it? Given their son's looks, they still want to find a beautiful wife. Isn't that a lie?"

Everyone sighed after hearing this. One woman said, "What a sin! Young man, do you recognize that girl? Since you know about this, you must at least warn her not to let her mother, who ran off with someone for money, sell her off and then use the money from her betrothal gift to support a gigolo."

Black Wing nodded vigorously, "What you said is true, but I have no evidence. If they deny it, I can do nothing about it."

It has to be said that people in this era have a strong sense of justice. A woman immediately stood up and said, "Why don't you have evidence? We are the evidence. We can't help you with anything else. Take us to find the girl and tell her that the person she went on a blind date with was not Xiao Du."

"But I don't know where the girl lives." Seeing the disappointed and sad faces of the women, Black Wing said, "But I overheard that the two men promised to bring the girl to their home tomorrow morning. I guess they will come here. Aunts and aunts should wait here early tomorrow. Maybe you can see the girl."

After hearing this, they all perked up. "Okay, I'll come over early tomorrow morning and wait. If the Du family does something immoral, I don't care if they are neighbors or not, I will definitely report them."

"Count me in."

"I'm coming too!"

Black Wing gave a thumbs up to the others and said, "You aunts are really my role models. I will come tomorrow as well. If someone gets desperate, I can rush forward."

"You are such a good boy. If that girl is really deceived, I will talk to her and help you find a matchmaker."

Black Wing scratched his head embarrassedly, "Um... I already have someone I like, so I won't bother you."

The aunt looked regretful, "Do you have someone you like? Don't worry, I'll help the girl find someone else later."

Black Wing said goodbye to the women and came back to explain the situation to Honeysuckle and Iron Claw.

It just so happened that no one had any tasks and were free, so they decided to go home with Hua Rendong and see what Liu Chang'e and that man would do tomorrow.

Early in the morning, when it was still light, Liu Chang'e was knocking on Hua Rendong's door.

Tiezhua climbed up from the kang, put on his clothes while pushing Hua Rendong who didn't want to get up, "Erhua Erhua, your mother is here!"

Honeysuckle yawned. It had been several days since he had a good sleep. The noise was really annoying!

Black Wing, who was sleeping in the next room, also got up quickly. He had to fan the flames of the group of women downstairs, so it was not convenient for him to go with Hua Rendong and the others. He would just walk over slowly later.

Hua Rendong and Tiezhua came out after washing up and opened the door. Fang Zimo and Zuo were already waiting outside. Liu Chang'e was annoyed when she saw Fang Zimo, her eyelids twitching, "Why are you everywhere?"

Fang Zi looked at him with a stern look in his eyes. "Hey, don't you think this is just a coincidence?"

Knowing that it was impossible to get rid of Fang Zi Mo today, Liu Chang'e simply ignored him. Let him follow her if he wanted. She hoped that he didn't know the Du family.

After many twists and turns, they finally arrived near the tube-shaped building where the Du family lived. The man pointed to a room on the third floor and said, "That's my home. My parents are not at home. After you finish looking around, I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant."

Hua Honeysuckle did not comment and exchanged glances with Tiezhua.

Fang Zimo saw the two of them exchanged glances and realized that they had no intention of taking him with them. He pouted and pulled on Hua Rendong's sleeve, "Sister Erhua, he said he would like to invite us to a state-owned restaurant for dinner."

Hua Honeysuckle patted his arm and said, "Then go ahead. I'm too lazy to cook."

Fang Zimo cheered and ordered a few dishes. The man didn't react much, but Liu Chang'e's distressed mouth twitched, "That's enough. We haven't even got the marriage certificate yet. How can you eat at such a rich man's house?"

Fang Zimo made a face at her, "He can't even afford to treat me to a meal, who dares to believe that he will be good to Sister Erhua in the future?"

Liu Chang'e was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but the man pulled her back and said, "Please, of course I should invite you. You are all Erhua's family members. You are such a honor if you agree to have dinner with us!"

Hua Rendong saw Liu Chang'e's hands secretly pinching the man's waist behind his back. The man's facial features were obviously distorted with pain, but he still pretended to be calm on his face. This made her even more certain of the relationship between the man and Liu Chang'e.
