Chapter 639: be careful

"Qingqing is a capable child. With her at home, we can go out to work without worry."

Aunt Zhou's words brought Meng Jiang back to her senses and looked away.

"Brother Zhou, sit down for a while, I'll cook for you."

"Auntie is going with you, Zhou Xing said that I am not good at craftsmanship, and my auntie will cook tonight's meals. You and Brother Jiang will judge whether it is the boy who is ignorant or the auntie is not good at craftsmanship."

Qingqing smiled and went to the kitchen behind with Aunt Zhou.

After the person left, Meng Jiang took a sip of water and asked, "Where did this girl come from? A relative in your family?"

Zhou Xing shook his head, and told Meng Jiang the ins and outs of meeting Qingqing.

After Meng Jiang heard this, her brows almost knit together, "How dare you bring someone of unknown origin home, just in case..." He didn't explain, but Zhou Xing could understand that they also felt that Wang Furong had pitifully taken her in. , but all they got was a painful lesson.

So after hearing Qingqing's story, his mood sank.

"I know, don't worry, I know it well."

Meng Jiang looked at Zhou Xing and saw that he didn't reject her words too much, and he didn't say anything more as if he didn't want to say more, as long as he knew it in his heart.

Soon, the hot meals were served.

Tonight, the aunt of the Zhou family ruthlessly added vegetables to the family. She caught an old mother in the backyard to make soup, scrambled some eggs, and mixed a pot of wild vegetables. This food is a luxury during the Chinese New Year. of.

After a day's work, everyone was hungry, and they couldn't help swallowing when they smelled the smell of chicken.

Meng Jiang was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, you are too polite, I just came to have a light meal and you killed the chicken."

Aunt Zhou's family smiled heartily, "You have lost a lot of weight, and my aunt felt distressed when she saw it, so she killed a chicken to make up for you. Eat quickly."

Aunt Zhou's family gave Meng Jiang a big chicken leg, and Qingqing the other.

But Qingqing didn't eat anything, and the last two chicken legs fell into Meng Jiang's bowl.

It was a happy meal.

With Qingqing here, it is not good for Meng Jiang to stay at Zhou's house, so she went home after a few polite words.

Tian Niu asked a few questions when she saw Meng Jiang came back with a glossy mouth, and Meng Jiang told her about the situation.

Tian Niu's reaction was the same as Meng Jiang's, but she didn't say anything, she just went to get some eggs and half a bag of sugar and put them in the bamboo basket.

"Meat and eggs are so expensive. No matter whether the chicken was killed for you or not, we can't take advantage of it. I'll send something to your Aunt Zhou. If you're not feeling well, go back and rest."

Meng Jiang nodded. He has matured a lot after going through this experience. He knew that his mother had listened to his words. At this moment, he probably went to find out.

Meng, the Zhou family has been friends for more than ten or twenty years. Mengzi and Zhou Xing’s father are good friends. After his death, the Meng family also took good care of the Zhou family, and worried that they would be used by others.

It was already an hour later when Tian Niu came back from Zhou's house.

Meng Jiang fell asleep after returning from a weak body, and Mengzi was the only one in the main room eating dry food.

"Why did you come back so late." Tian Niu cleaned up Lan Zi and poured him a cup of hot water.

Now Mengzi is in charge of building a section of the road, and he is busy outside during the day and hardly stays at home.

"Well, I heard from Jiang'er that you went to Zhou Meizi's house?"

Tian Niu nodded and sat down beside him.

"Well, go and have a look."

Meng Zi has heard some information from Meng Jiang.

"Tell me?"

Tian Niu shook her head, "Sister Zhou is a careless person, but Zhou Xing is not stupid, he said that he has checked the details of that girl named Qingqing, and also secretly let her father see it in the dark, making sure that it is his daughter , she did come to the city earlier, she didn't appear suddenly recently."

"The girl's father is indeed a gambler. He sold everything that could be sold at home, and only went to do odd jobs to fill his stomach when he was too hungry."

There is no gambling house in the city of Tiankui, and it is not allowed to have one, but many people will play in private, and they will be fined if they are caught, but because the punishment is not heavy, this kind of behavior will always exist.

"The girl was sold to Hualou more than half a month ago, but she ran away because she didn't want to, and Zhou Xing happened to meet her. I tried it out, and it didn't look like she was good at kung fu, but she also I’m not sure if she’s pretending, I’ve already reminded Zhou Xing, I hope he’ll pay attention.”

Before, Tian Niu felt that she was quite accurate in judging people, but after what happened to Wang Furong, her confidence was gone.

Mengzi frowned, "Let's help to watch."

"kindness."

Aunt Zhou's family is not stupid. Tian Niu came over and said it clearly and secretly, and she understood it.

When Wang Furong had an accident before, they all felt lingering fears. Who would have thought that after staying in the Meng family for so many years, they could still have such dirty thoughts.

"Xinger, you said that Qingqing is not really..." Aunt Zhou liked Qingqing very much, and even moved her mind to make her her daughter-in-law, but if she might persecute Zhou Xing, she would never allow it. of.

Qingqing stood outside the main room door, listening to the conversation between mother and son, her heart sank gradually.

Early the next morning.

When Zhou's aunt got up, she found that the door of Qingqing's room was open. She stepped forward curiously and found that there was no one in the room.

She thought she was going to work in the kitchen, so she turned around and went to the kitchen, but there was no one in the kitchen.

Just when Aunt Zhou was wondering, she heard a commotion in the front yard.

She walked over and saw that Qingqing had come back with a large bundle of firewood on her back.

"Qingqing, where did you go so early in the morning?"

Qingqing laughed and said, "I saw that there was no more firewood in the stove, so I thought about picking up more firewood."

"I've already made breakfast, and my aunt will come to eat when I'm hungry. I made multigrain porridge and multigrain pancakes."

Aunt Zhou's family did not expect that she had finished all the work.

"It's too dangerous for you, a girl, to go out before dawn. Let Zhou Xing do the rough work in the future, you know?"

Qingqing smiled and didn't answer.

After eating, Zhou Xing went out.

Qingqing walked out of the house and came to Aunt Zhou.

Before Aunt Zhou could speak, Qingqing knelt down and kowtowed to her three times.

"Hey, what are you doing kid, get up, get up."

After kowtowing, Qingqing stood up and said, "Thank you auntie and brother Zhou for taking care of me. I know I shouldn't stay any longer. This will only cause you more trouble. Today I'm saying goodbye to auntie. I'm going back, no matter how stupid my father is, I can't keep running away, I was ignorant before, and now I want to understand."

"Your father... What if he wants to sell you again?"

Qingqing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "It's okay, auntie, I'm not afraid anymore, I just told him that Brother Zhou in the Security Bureau would come to see me from time to time, and he didn't dare."

Aunt Zhou's family is still a little worried, but what Tian Niu said yesterday also made her afraid.
