He finished the noodles in the bowl in a few gulps and drank the noodle soup in one gulp. Then he put the bowl on the ground, wiped his mouth, and rushed to the street corner.
From a distance, I saw Kong Aiqun wiping tears with red eyes.
In front of her, Kong Aichun was standing with his hands on his hips, angrily cursing at a man.
The man's coat was torn and he looked very disheveled. After a closer look, A Biao recognized him as Kong Aiqun's husband, Zhao Jingpeng.
"Bah, you shameless bastard! Not only did you have a woman outside, but you even got her pregnant. What? You even want my sister to raise a bastard for you?"
"Divorce, don't say anything. If you have a conscience, just leave the house to my sister. If..." Kong Aichun paused and waved his hand, "Forget it. I was really blinded by greed and still thought you had a conscience. If you had a conscience, the sun would have risen from the west."
"Get lost! If you dare to harass my sister again, I'll have your legs broken!"
As he was speaking, the tall and strong A Biao walked forward.
"Aunt Chun, what's wrong?"
Zhao Jingpeng's ears were already red as he saw more and more people gathering around. He didn't want to continue pestering Kong Aiqun, but he really couldn't get a divorce. The meat processing factory wasn't paying him wages, and he was counting on Kong Aiqun to go back to her parents' home to get money to live on. If they divorced, how would he live?
But when he saw Ah Biao rolling up his sleeves, he dodged her gaze and didn't dare to continue. He could only say, "Aqin, we've been together for more than 20 years. Are you going to kill me with one blow just because I made a mistake?"
Ah Biao put his hands on his hips and glared angrily: "Still nagging?"
Zhao Jingpeng shuddered, smiled dryly and waved his hands: "No, no, I just..."
He took a few steps back, stiffening his neck and yelling, "Aqin, think about this carefully. Don't be impulsive. Even if you don't think about our relationship, you have to think about our daughter. She just got married. Do you want her in-laws to look down on her because of our divorce?"
Kong Aiqin's hand that was wiping her tears suddenly stopped.
"Bullshit! If Shanshan knew about this, she would just applaud. Okay, are you going to get out of here or not? If you don't... Ah Biao, beat him up!"
A Biao stepped forward and Zhao Jingpeng quickly turned around and ran away.
After running a long way, he called out again: "Aqin, I'll come see you in two days!"
Seeing that the person had disappeared, Kong Aichun rolled her eyes in annoyance. Turning around, she saw her sister crying miserably, and she felt very disappointed: "Cry, cry, cry, all you know is to cry. It's because you are such a coward that you are bullied by that Zhao guy."
A Biao said, "Aunt Chun, please stop scolding. There are so many people here."
Seeing this, Kong Aichun glared at the onlookers fiercely: "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen other people getting divorced? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out!"
Many of the onlookers subconsciously moved away, and Kong Aichun then pulled Kong Aiqun's arm and walked inside.
Seeing this, Ah Biao followed behind and whispered, "Aunt Chun, did you really see Zhao bring a woman to the obstetrics and gynecology department? And she's pregnant?"
Kong Aichun paused: "Why are you..."
Turning her head and glancing at Su Chen who was still reading the newspaper, she understood and said angrily, "A Biao, don't tell anyone about this. It's shameful."
Ah Biao smiled and said, "Aunt Chun, you always like to tell jokes. This ridiculous thing was done by a man named Zhao. If there is anything shameful, it is also him. Why does my sister Qin, who is the victim, have to hide it?"
"You don't understand~" Aunt Chun said earnestly.
"Why shouldn't I understand? You're obviously old-fashioned." Ah Biao complained, "You said you wanted a divorce. Don't you know that divorce was shameful decades ago? What about now? Aunt Chun, the world has changed a lot."
Kong Aichun was stunned for a moment, but didn't say a word. He helped Kong Aiqun into the yarn shop silently.
A Biao didn't follow him in. He turned around and returned the empty bowl, then sat down next to Su Chen: "Brother, you are amazing."
Without waiting for Su Chen to reply, he sighed again: "Aunt Chun was not like this before. Her husband died early. In order to support her family, she emptied urine buckets for the neighbors to make money ten years ago. She finally raised two children. Later, when things became more open, she gritted her teeth and borrowed money from A Yu to open a shop. It was not easy to open a shop at that time. Ruffians would always come to our door when we were not around. She always had a kitchen knife on hand. When people came, she would yell at them with the kitchen knife. As she yelled, her voice became louder and her temper exploded."
"It's gotten much better in recent years. Brother Chun is now at the police station and often hangs out here. The little hooligans in this area all know he's in charge of this place, so they don't dare come."
Su Chen put down the daily newspaper: "Why are you telling me this?"
Ah Biao was stunned for a moment and scratched his head: "That's right, why am I telling you this for no reason? By the way, where is Ah Yu?"
Lin Jingyu is in Chunjiang Police Station.
His family divided the five amulets among themselves, and he kept one and sent it over here eagerly, intending to give it to his cousin Lin Jingchun.
But as soon as I arrived, I was told that they were having a morning meeting.
"Miss Fangfang, why are you having a meeting so early in the morning? My brother didn't come home last night. Your leader is so unreasonable."
Officer Chen Fang ate some fruit Lin Jingyu had bought and rolled her eyes in annoyance. "How can you talk like that? Why is our Chief Zhou so unreasonable?"
Lin Jingyu begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, my mouth deserves a beating!"
He pretended to slap his face and was about to speak again when the door of the office on the other end opened and Lin Jingyu hurried to greet him.
Lin Jingchun glanced at him and raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
Ah Mao followed and asked, "Is there a disturbance on the street? Are those people here to do something bad?"
"No, no, no, I just came to give my brother something."
Out of curiosity, Lin Jingchun was pulled aside by Lin Jingyu, who stealthily stuffed a yellow talisman into his hand.
"Brother, I bought a peace amulet for everyone in my family this morning. This is yours. Keep it close to you and don't let it get wet."
As he spoke, he looked around and saw Ah Mao staring at him. He lowered his voice and said, "This was drawn by the guy who calculated Yingying's body. It must be spiritual. You must keep it well."
Lin Jingchun stroked it and quickly put it in his pocket: "Got it."
He then asked about the situation at grandma's home, and finally said, "I don't have any money right now, and I've been busy these past two days, so I probably won't have time to send the funeral money. Can you help me with the money? I'll pay you back when I'm free."
"Hey, my mom has already given it to you. You can return it to her later. I'm leaving, brother."
Ah Mao waited for Lin Jingyu to leave before he hurried forward, his expression not looking good. "Captain Lin, Ah Yu is really superstitious. It's the modern era now, and he still wants a talisman?"
He had good hearing and heard almost everything Lin Jingyu said just now, feeling a little disdainful.
"He swore before that the fortune teller was amazing. I'd say he must have seen it with his own eyes. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"
"And this time, they must have seen Miss Sun and her friends dressed so well that they guessed they were going to the billiard hall. Walking down Chunming Street, the only place to play is the billiard hall. The people in the billiard hall would definitely take advantage of their beauty and make a move, so we caught them red-handed..."
He was about to talk more, but was stopped by Lin Jingchun.
"Amao, go to work."
"Ohhh, okay."
Seeing Ah Mao trotting back to collect information, Lin Jingchun shook his head helplessly.
A-Mao is quite skilled and dedicated to his job, but he has one small flaw - he is stubborn!
He is the type who won't turn back until he hits a wall.
In several cases in recent years, there were obviously many doubts, but he would often form preconceived ideas, seize on one doubt, and unilaterally determine that he was right, then start an investigation, and then end up in a dead end.
Even though he later led people to solve the case, A Mao still did not give up. He felt that they were wrong and wanted to overturn the verdict.
I get a headache whenever I think of Lin Jingchun.
The same is true in Sun Feiyan's case this time.
From Lin Jingchun's point of view, no matter how Sun Feiyan entered the billiard hall, the fact is that she was almost persecuted. There was no conspiracy, and that was enough. However, A Mao always felt resentful about it.
Well, it’s wrong to be superstitious, but... when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Cuicheng has many customs that have been passed down for thousands of years. We can't just kill them all with one blow.
Just like this amulet, whether it's superstitious or not, it always represents the care and concern of family members, right? It's a token of their love.
Anyway, he will definitely carry it with him.
Thinking about this, Lin Jingchun looked at his watch and turned around: "A Ming, let's go."
