Chapter 416: Frightening Dream (1)
Chen Lenghe didn't fall asleep all night. She called several times but couldn't contact David Li. He left an address, but the place had been sold and is now the property of Huabi Bank. The two met on the ship, and had no common friends. It was extremely difficult to find someone.
She was not afraid of being alone in the hotel, but when she thought of facing the blame from her family tomorrow and could not find her lover, she couldn't sleep no matter what. She turned on the light and looked for something, but saw a few manuscripts left in the room. She took it boredly and looked at it, and saw that it was the beginning of a novel with the title "The Tragedy on the Nile".
As a detective novel enthusiast, Chen Lenghe read several detective novels from the East when he was in Albion. It is said that the author is a mysterious woman from the East. Luo Ping, No One Survived, the Goddess of Vengeance, etc., are all her works.
In Albion, a craze for the Jiuhe Heroes was very exciting. Many people speculated about who this mysterious woman was. She was a talented woman from a famous family, or a family of officials. Some even speculated that it was the Qi Lou Xiaji, otherwise she would not have had so much experience.
Polo's story has been published. She just finished reading it not long ago. This tragedy on the Nile River can tell at a glance that it was a work from this series. And it was left in the hotel, and she recalled what happened just now... It fell out of Su Hanzhi's handbag. In other words, in fact, is Jiuhe Xiayin the Madam Su?
She couldn't believe that she had missed an idol, and this lady was the author of so many detective novels? She... could she tolerate her husband marrying a wife? Chen Lenghe felt even more and more confused after guessing the truth.
Finally until dawn, she washed her face and left the hotel. She thought about it at home, but was afraid of her father's reproach, so she decided to go to David Li first. She called a rickshaw and left the concession all the way to the Chinese world. She saw that the porridge shed had already started to make porridge.
Most of the rickshaw drivers in Songjiang are smokers, namely smokers. This coachman is no exception. When he saw Chen Lenghe, a woman as beautiful as a fairy, in his car, it seemed as if he had just smoked the public ranks, and his wind was erect, his body was full of strength, and he was particularly fond of talking.
"Mr. Zhao is such a good person. He took out the silver to provide relief, and the price of grain is balanced, and the porridge is released. It is said that the porridge will take half a year, so no one will starve to death now."
"Dahua? What do you ask where to do? The boss is not a good person. He misappropriated the payment for the goods and deducted the workers' wages. He used the money to trade stocks, but the stocks were lost and the people were gone. Those textile machines were not even enough to pay off their debts. The goods in the warehouse were sold by him and exchanged for stocks. Now many people have been killed. There are not a thousand people who want to kill Quan Songjiang, and there are eight hundred. You little girl, don't have any connections with him."
Chen Lenghe's heart was a little tight, and she asked the coachman to pull her to David Li's residence. A seal had been posted at the door, and someone splashed red paint on the door, which looked particularly terrifying.
"His house has been seized by Huabi Bank and is insolvent. Let me tell you that he is smart and actually ran away. The boss of a money house was miserable. He didn't run away and was blocked by the creditor. Guess what, the boss was beaten to death. A few bad guys said he wanted to use his wife and daughter to pay off the debt. He carried the person into the bedroom in broad daylight. After the person left, the mother and the two of them hung together."
"How could this happen?" Chen Lenghe felt cold in her hands, "Does the yamen sit and watch?"
"Of course, the yamen wants to take care of it, but it can't. The entire market is over. When the yamen comes out, how can they talk? As soon as they speak, the creditors ask the yamen to pay back the money. Besides, many of the police officers were cheated and hated the money shop to death, so they were reluctant to take action. A group of wives and ladies, who were wearing gold and silver the first day, were driven to the streets to sleep on the road next day. They had no food to eat, no house to live, and they couldn't do anything. In the end, they had to go to Huile to sell laughter and just to survive. It was so miserable. Thanks to Lord Zhao now saying that he wanted to save the market, the order has been restored, otherwise, I think something even more terrible would happen."
Chen Lenghe gritted her teeth and calmed herself down for a moment. "He...he is he going to save the market, is he talking or is there a way?"
"How can that be said? Don't you know that he borrowed a lot of debts from foreign banks and used a train to pay back the money from Shandong. The court did not allow him to raise money on the spot, and the court did not allow him to borrow money in the name of the court, which was equivalent to asking him to use his own money to save people. If it were me, he would have stopped doing it long ago. Whoever loves it, how could he use his own money to save others. But he really did it, good people, good people. He wanted to lend money to some money houses to ensure that the money houses did not collapse. As long as the money houses did not collapse, the money we saved was guaranteed, and the market would be better."
"Is he going to save all the money houses?"
"Miss, you can't think about it. Who can save so many money shops? This kind of thing depends on the relationship. If you have a good relationship, save them. If you have a bad relationship, let him die. The boss Shen from the Cao Gang is so powerful. He has a friendship with Lord Zhao. I heard that he is a fellow disciple in the gang. As long as you say, this money shop is my friend, you can be saved immediately. Once you say that this money shop cannot reach an agreement with me, you can't even get a loan of money, you can only lose the bill. But if you want to say the most majestic one, you have to say that it is Zhengyuan Chen.
Master. I heard that it was Mr. Shen who married Mr. Zhao as his concubine. Now it was amazing. As soon as the news came out, many people immediately had more deposits from Zhengyuan Money House. A group of young bosses took a red envelope of ten taels of silver to tie the table for Mr. Chen. Many people saw that since so many people saved money, the bank must have a good reputation and would not make any mistakes. They immediately transferred the money they deposited in other money houses to Zhengyuan. Why did Zhengyuan's business be bad?"
Chen Lenghe's heart was completely confused. She didn't expect that there were so many interests behind her marriage. After breaking up, these interests would definitely not be left out like this, and the consequences were probably very serious. She sighed, "Brother, please take me to Zhengyuan to take a look?"
"No problem. Let me tell you, I have saved two or three yuan and I still want to have a Zhengyuan. Unfortunately, Zhengyuan has rules, and I will save it from twenty yuan, otherwise I will also have to save it. With the governor behind, what's the terror?
The person who pulled the cart said as he walked, but when the rickshaw was about to arrive at Zhengyuan, he was shocked first. He saw a long queue in front of Zhengyuan, with a large number of heads covered in black, and the team was thrown far away. Most of the people were young men wearing black cloth trousers and jackets. The good thing about pulling the cart, he chatted with the person who was in the queue and said, "Why did this uncle, why did he hold the wedding yesterday and come to play with the tying type today?"
But the man spitted, "Chen Yunqing collapsed, we were smashing the ground today. The deposit of ten taels of silver must be returned to us immediately, otherwise his bird's nest will burn! You don't know that he has raised a ungrateful daughter, and he can't even ask for anything else. How about her? He refused to marry! He ran away from marriage last night. We were giving this face to my uncle. Now the bride escapes marriage, so we want him to look good. The little girl let us meet her, and she must cut her face with one knife."
The coachman patted his chest, "It's so dangerous. Fortunately, it's 20 yuan to save here, otherwise I'd have to pay my 20 yuan. Miss, tell me, how could there be such an ungrateful woman in the world, who is inappropriate to the governor's little star, and he must be happy to lose everything. Her family really owed her in her previous life... Hey, this lady, why are you crying?"
Chen Lenghe kept wiping her tears with her handkerchief. At this time, she didn't bother to answer and just said, "Take me to Chen's house."
The policeman and the children of the Cao Gang outside the Chen house were gone, the gate was knocked open, and the door inside was all opened. Chen Lenghe only felt her scalp numb, her heart was in his throat, and she ran in, and saw that several servants were almost injured on their bodies, and the living room was already in a mess. The display was swept away, and the glass and the rough furniture were smashed to pieces. The mother was crying there, and the eldest and second brothers had their faces on them, while Lu cried and scolded, "Your good daughter, you are indecent and obscene, and you will still involve us."
"Mom, what's wrong with this...? Where is Dad? Where is the eldest and second sisters?"
Seeing Chen Lenghe come back, Mrs. Chen wiped her tears while walking over to look at her, then hugged her daughter in her arms and cried: "Xiaonan... don't ask, don't do your business. As long as you come back, mom will feel relieved."
But Lu refused to forgive others, "You two sisters went back to your in-laws' house and were beaten by your husband and scolded by her mother-in-law, and borrowed money for your family. Zhao Dashuai's betrothal gift was 100,000 yuan. Now that you return the bride, you have to pay it back. The money has been used up. What if you don't borrow money? As for your father, he has been arrested by the police! Don't blame him, he was originally released from bail by Lord Zhao. You are unwilling to be someone else's little star.
What should I protect? If I were to say, I was taken away or luck, at most I was beaten by the bailiff a few sticks. If I stayed at home, my life would be difficult to protect. He lost all the money from Sichuan Pao brothers. Those people were the ones who used knives to reason. Without the protection of the police at the door, they rushed to the house to get the money. My jewelry, my body! After a few days, we will even be taken away. At that time, the whole family will not know where to live."
"Enough!" Chen Baiou slapped his wife on the face. "Little sister did it right. If she doesn't love that man, she can't be his wife. Little sister, don't listen to her talk nonsense... This has nothing to do with you, you shouldn't take responsibility. I... I have two suits, you can sell them for some money and exchange them for a boat ticket to go abroad. Any country is good. The family will be handed over to us slowly. When you come back in a few years, everything will be fine."
Chen Bailu also said, "Yes, little sister, please leave quickly. Those brothers will come again. You are so beautiful that they can't see you. Those beasts can do everything."
It turns out that the role of the police and Qingpi is actually the bodyguards at home. If they were there, the so-called chau brothers would not be able to enter.
Chen Lenghe, who figured out this level, naturally knew that because of her escape from marriage, the other party obviously terminated the cooperation with Zhengyuan, and all the previous protection and preferential treatment were terminated. The scene she saw yesterday was actually false peace. However, even if it was false peace, it was still peaceful, which was better than this bloody reality.
Is he the culprit?
Her thoughts were already confused, and Lu's curses and crying were lingering in her ears. Perhaps, she was right. What should I do if the tragic fates mentioned by the coachman came to her family? In a daze, she put her wallet on the table randomly, turned around and ran outward.
The two brothers were chasing behind, but they didn't expect that Chen Lenghe was a long-distance running enthusiast. She had been exercising for a long time and ran faster than her two brothers, and they couldn't catch up with her. Chen Lenghe didn't know where to go at this time, but she just had no face at home and faced her family who was implicated by her.
After running far away in one breath, she couldn't hear the pursuit behind her back, so she stood around a corner, holding the wall with her hands and breathing. What should she do? She had no goal and didn't know whether she was doing right or wrong. Since she hadn't returned to Songjiang for several years, she was no longer very clear about geography and couldn't even understand where she stood.
Looking up, I saw that there were many bookstores on both sides, but the business was not good, the doors were neglected, and some were closed. The market was depressed, there were few pedestrians, and the concessions became deserted. After a long time of circle around the city, she had already understood what the market was like.
This was the result of Zhao Guanhou's efforts to maintain it. According to the coachman, before the establishment of a porridge farm and the escorts came out to maintain order with guns on their backs, the market was worse than this, and there was a possibility of robbery in broad daylight. These things were something she had never been exposed to in class. After she faced the facts, she realized what a terrible situation the so-called economic collapse was.
The family is shameless to go back. Before she cheers up and restores her family business, she has no shame to face her mother who tolerate her, her father who is killed by her again, and even her sister-in-law who chatters. She has done nothing wrong, she is too ignorant.
What I can do now is to find a stable job and restore Zhengyuan Money House as soon as possible. My father just owes debts and does not commit any other crimes. As long as he tries to pay back the money, he is not afraid of being unable to be released. With his education and ability, it is not difficult to find a job, but gender issues are the main reason that hinder her.
Even in a foreign company, she can't find a job that women can do. As for textiles and laundry workers, she will definitely not do it, and can only try her luck at the church school.
If Chen Baiou was present at this time, he would immediately pull his sister away. Chen Lenghe's current location is Huileli in Songjiang. Since the stock market crash, he has lost all the rich wives and petite ladies overnight. Many of the petite ladies have no choice but to fall here, become wanderings, or lay a room.
Arisen from the times, a group of thugs who were mixed with green skin were also wandering around this generation, looking for goals. After the collapse of order, the act of forcing Liang to prosecute the population had gradually spread from outside the concession to the concession. A beautiful girl like Chen Lenghe should not stay here for too long.
Just as she made up her mind to find a job first, several green-skinned figures were already following behind. A familiar figure suddenly appeared across the street. She rubbed her eyes, confirmed that she had not recognized the wrong person, and rushed to the person and shouted, "David! David! It's me."
