Chapter 357 Chen Xingjia on the Brink of Crisis
Teahouses were called "Tea Houses" and "Tea Houses" before the Qing Dynasty. After the Manchus entered the city, they were renamed "Teahouses".
The Eight Banners disciples who bid farewell to horseback riding and entered the capital were transformed into "social idlers" holding an iron rice bowl.
Baking in the sun, walking birds, and making teahouses became their daily tasks, and the teahouses prospered as a result.
Before liberation, teahouses were similar to luxury stores in later generations.
There was a long queue in front of the luxury store, and there was not a single person among them.
Real working people will not be willing to spend a few bucks on a bowl of tea.
After liberation.
The old appearance was replaced with a new look, the iron rice bowl of the Eight Banners disciples was smashed, and the number of teahouses decreased sharply.
At the same time, it has returned to its essence, becoming a place for working people to rest, drink tea and have fun.
In the east aisle of the lumber factory, a teahouse called Labor Teahouse opened.
It was only nine o'clock in the morning.
There were many customers sitting in the teahouse, among them the old man was the most numerous.
An opinion book, a pencil and a fly swatter are hung on the pillars of the teahouse.
One hand picks up the fly swatter.
There was a snap.
The fly that was still buzzing on the table was immediately swatted flat on the mottled red paint table.
It bounced twice in the air on all fours, then remained motionless.
Chen Xingjia looked at the fly, then looked up at Tailor Zhang holding a fly swatter. At this time, his mind was in a mess.
This usually kind-hearted seamstress, who was about to become his stepmother, actually kidnapped his own daughter-in-law.
He also threatened to go to the laboratory to produce technical materials.
What the hell is going on?
Seeing Chen Xingjia's silence for a long time, Tailor Zhang waved the fly swatter. The fly swatter jumped lightly, and the dead fly turned into a ball of black light and fell into the spittoon next to the pillar.
She stood up and hung up the flyswatter. After sitting down again, she said calmly: "Xing Jia, I don't mean any harm. As long as you hand over those documents to me, I will not only I will ensure that Qingfang can come back safely, and I will also give you a sum of money."
"You are Dieter." Chen Xingjia had understood at this time.
His heart skipped a beat, and he trembled with fright. He stood up and was about to call someone.
A cold voice came from my ears: "If you dare to alarm others, Qingfang will not be able to come back. Don't forget that she still has your child in her belly!".
Chen Xingjia was shocked and could only sit back again.
He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down, and lowered his voice and said: "Aunt Zhang, I, I am just a handyman in the laboratory. Where can I get access to those things? Just do it. , let us go.”
“I promise that nothing happened!”
"Do you think it's possible?" Tailor Zhang's expression changed, and his expression became ferocious: "I don't care what you do, you have to get the information anyway, or else you have to wait for Chen Qingfang's body to be collected."
This At that time, Chen Xingjia found himself in an embarrassing situation.
He knows the importance of those materials and understands the confidentiality regulations. Once the materials are leaked, it is likely to cause huge harm.
But Chen Qingfang is still in their hands.
Chen Xingjia regretted not recognizing Tailor Zhang’s true face earlier.
But it's too late to say anything now.
“Let me ask you one last time, are you going to steal materials or not?” Tailor Zhang raised his wrist to look at the time, feeling a little anxious.
According to the scheduled plan, the materials must be obtained before four o'clock in the afternoon. Because four o'clock in the afternoon was the time when that damn driver Li drove back.
When meeting with Butler Bai yesterday, Butler Bai also revealed one thing, that is, the reason why her husband was arrested was because of Chen Fangxuan's son-in-law, Li Aiguo.
She must install the explosive package on the railway track in advance to blow up that damn driver Li to pieces and avenge her dead husband.
That’s why Tailor Zhang changed his planned plan and helped the Hou family seize materials.
"I"
"You don't want Zhao Qingfang's life?"
"I"
"You don't want the child's life?"
At this time, Chen Xingjia's face turned red under the tremendous pressure.
A big drop appeared on his forehead, and his whole body began to tremble.
The conflict of interests between the collective and the individual made it difficult for him to make a choice.
"Okay, since you don't want Zhao Qingfang's life, I will kill her now. You can go to the cemetery now and help your wife and children choose a cemetery. I suggest choosing a higher one, because it is said that the Children’s graves are afraid of water.”
Zhao Qingfang decided to give Chen Xingjia the final blow. As he spoke, he stood up and walked out.
But his eyes were fixed on Chen Xingjia. From his raised eyebrows and the trembling of the muscles in his gritted teeth, it was enough to judge that this guy had already given in.
Tailor Zhang felt a sigh of relief.
Back then, she had personally captured more than a dozen people, but none of them took so much effort. It seemed that she was getting older and her heart had softened.
But fortunately, the mission is about to be completed, and I can return with my husband’s ashes.
“Comrade, I wonder if your grave is afraid of water?”
At this moment, a joking voice came from my ears.
Tailor Zhang was stunned and turned around slowly like a statue.
When he saw that majestic face, Tailor Zhang's face was gentle, but a cold light flashed through him: "Xueru's family, didn't you go driving? Why are you here?"< br>
“I’m asking you this.” Li Aiguo sneered: “You bunch of monsters and monsters don’t just stay in the smelly ditch with rats, but you dare to wander on the street in broad daylight. You really think we are. It’s made of mud.”
"What kind of monster? You're from Xueru's family, why can't I understand what you're saying?!" Tailor Zhang looked appropriately panicked, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Qingfang had a fight with Xingjia last night. You also know that Qingfang I have that kind of temper, and I don’t want to apologize to Xing Jia in person.
The two of them call me aunt. I can’t watch them get angry.
It hurts so much. The relationship between husband and wife.
So I made an appointment with Xing Jia.
Just now I was counseling Xing Jia. Qingfang is pregnant and it’s normal to have a temper. You are a grown man. You can yell at women.”
As he spoke, Tailor Zhang turned to look at Chen Xingjia.
The panic on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a stern but gentle tone.
"Xingjia, Patriot has misunderstood, please explain to him quickly."
Chen Xingjia was shuddered by her gaze. Thinking of Zhao Qingfang, he could only stand up: "Brother-in-law , yes, it’s a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?”
Li Aiguo suddenly laughed: "Why did I hear my sister-in-law say that you didn't quarrel!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into silence.
“Oh, patriotic, that’s because Qingfang is embarrassed to admit it. After all, this matter is not a glorious thing.” Tailor Zhang’s expression remained unchanged, one hand was hidden in his sleeve, holding the blade A short sword with a black mouth.
