Chapter 24
Chapter 24: Stepmother Fourteen
The tall and thin man next to him replied in a low voice, “Brother Qian, this is the woman, but the man next to him doesn’t know him.”
Brother Qian raised his stick and tapped the palm of his hand, his mouth grinning: “Then fight together, fight half to death and throw it aside, we can still see us have a good relationship with him.”
Several men laughed.
He Dongpeng and Mercury didn’t hear what they said, only saw them approaching with malicious intent after whispering a few words, He Dongpeng scolded loudly: “Who are you, what do you want to do? If you do it, I will The police will be called!”
Mercury looked at him coldly, did not speak at all, but quickly took two steps back. This is a dead alley, with tall debris piled up behind it, and it is impossible to get through. There are buildings on both sides, and the only exit is blocked by these people. Since he couldn’t escape, Mercury turned his head to look for it in the alley. There were no weapons to hand, only a pile of broken bricks.
When those men heard He Dongpeng’s words, they laughed arrogantly, “Go try and see if you can catch our brother.”
While speaking, the man stepped forward quickly and hit He Dongpeng in the stomach with a stick. He Dongpeng fell to his knees on the spot and almost vomited.
Three men beat and kicked around him, “How about it, is it a man? It fell down, looking tall and big, I didn’t expect it to be useless at all, hahahaha!”
He Dongpeng suddenly pushed one person out and slammed it against the wall, then pressed his stomach to grab the stick from the other person’s hand, and fought with them.
Mercury took this opportunity to pick up a brick and slammed it into the window of the building next to it. At this time, most of the buildings were made of wooden window frames with glass inlaid. One latch was closed. There was no anti-theft protection at all. A few bricks of mercury were smashed. There were several rows of windows in the two buildings next to the alley. Several exclamations sounded immediately.
Her head is very good, and her movements are fast, smashing more than a dozen window panes in one go. A certain household on the third floor was the loudest, and a middle-aged woman angrily pushed open the window and cursed, “Which poor boy broke the glass of my house! Don’t die, right!”
Some people probably startled the child and made a wow wow cry. Shocked by the aunt’s loud voice, several other households opened their windows and looked down, and the scene became lively all of a sudden.
Mercury raised her head and shouted: “Trouble, eldest sisters and brothers, these people are abducting and selling women, they want to arrest me now, and they will kill people, whoever of you can do it, go to the street to find them. A street policeman, I will be paid after the incident, and I will double the compensation for the broken glass after it is safe.”
The men who beat people, including He Dongpeng who was beaten, stayed for a while. I didn’t expect this development. Seeing how many people were watching them behind the two buildings next to them, two of the men hesitated.
“Such arrogance, beating and robbing people in broad daylight, what kind of people are they?”
“Yes, it’s not a good thing to look at.”
There was a murmur upstairs.
Brother Qian glared at the two men with hesitant faces, then pointed at the people watching the fun upstairs with a stick, “Don’t **** me here, or I will burn you all with fire. The house, shut up for Lao Tzu!”
As soon as he exited, many people were really frightened, and closed the window with a snap, not intending to meddle in business. Some people are not afraid. Not long after Brother Qian finished speaking, a large basin of water poured down from an unknown window upstairs, and it all fell on Brother Qian and the other two men who were close.
In the winter, a basin of cold water poured down, it was really cool, Brother Qian cursed angrily, knocking on the wall with a stick, “Who! Who is it! Stand up for Lao Tzu!”
No one responded to him at all.
“Brother Qian, why don’t you just forget about it today, maybe someone will go to the police patrolling the streets, let’s evacuate first!” Someone advised him.
Brother Qian waved the man’s hand away, “Get out of the way, hurry up and abolish these two people for me!” As soon as this happens, they have to hurry up and leave, there is no time to play, how can they kill her half-life!
Mercury: “The big brother and big sister upstairs threw me a weapon, thank you!”
I don’t know which eldest sister is so sturdy, she threw down a kitchen knife, and an old man in a quilt threw a pair of tongs. Quicksilver picked it up quickly.
Although some ‘smart people” on the modern social network often call on girls not to bring weapons, otherwise they will be easily taken away by gangsters and turn against themselves, but Mercury feels that this is purely theoretical knowledge lower than practical operation, Absolutely never experienced that kind of scene. The reason is very simple, if you have weapons, you can fight, but if you don’t have weapons, you will die.
, the two men who were directed by Brother Qian to do it didn’t dare to get close to Mercury who was holding a long-handled tong and a kitchen knife.
Mercury glanced at He Dongpeng who was beaten with empty hands over there, and even thought about it, no matter how skilled you are, it really makes sense to be afraid of a kitchen knife.
Brother Qian was still fighting with He Dongpeng over there, and he was furious when he saw the scene here: “What’s the use of you, even a woman is afraid! Hurry up and get things done, do you still want to reward money? It’s gone!”
Mercury narrowed her eyes when she heard the words, and she suddenly realized something. These people are specially directed at a certain goal.
She immediately said tentatively, “You were brought by He Chengzu, right? The man you are beating now is He Chengzu’s father, He Dongpeng, and He Chengzu’s money is all from him.”
What she said was more effective than what she said before, and even Brother Qian stopped.
He Dongpeng was beaten badly, and he was a little dazed when he heard the words, and he lost his voice after a while: “What did you say? They were found by Chengzu? How is this possible! How could Chengzu do such a thing? thing!”
He still doesn’t even know what his son is.
Brother Qian looked suspiciously at the embarrassed man at his feet, “Is he really He Chengzu’s father?”
Listening to him asking, He Dongpeng knew even if he was an idiot, these people might really have something to do with his son, and his heart suddenly became cold, and his body was hurting everywhere.
Brother Qian is also really having a headache at this moment. The person to be dealt with didn’t deal with it well. Instead, he beat the employer’s father like this first.
At this time, the people guarding at the entrance of the alley suddenly whistled and waved at them.
“The street dog is here, get out first!” The men let go immediately and walked away quickly, leaving He Dongpeng and Mercury where they were.
Most of what happened after this has nothing to do with mercury.
He Dongpeng entered the hospital again. The group of people were too heavy, and it seemed that he had blood from his internal organs. As for He Chengzu, because of him, He Dongpeng and Song Ting quarreled.
Song Ting made trouble again, and He Dongpeng said: “He is my only son, and he is still so young, I can’t ignore him, even if he commits murder and commits a crime, I can’t watch him die. ”
Nowadays, the people do not call the police, and even if there is a police report, there is not necessarily someone to take care of them. Song Ting’s idea of throwing people into prison again was strongly opposed by He Dongpeng, and the two were deadlocked for a long time.
In the end, Song Ting compromised, she no longer insisted on sending He Chengzu to prison, because she was found to be pregnant, and the tense atmosphere between He Dongpeng and He Dongpeng was also due to the arrival of this child It eased a lot, and the only one who was unhappy was He Chengzu who got the news.
In He Chengzu’s opinion, what he should solve now is not Muxiang, but the child in Song Ting’s belly.
He is He Dongpeng’s only child, so He Dongpeng will value him so much. When he has other sons in the future, what is his crippled son? It is best to think of a way to prevent Song Ting from having children. .
On Song Ting’s side, she also accepted her father’s proposal and was ready to let He Chengzu be completely eliminated. She had never been able to make up her mind before, but now, she is pregnant, and for the sake of her future children, she is not ready to let dangerous elements like He Chengzu continue to threaten the lives of their family.
Their battle did not affect Mercury. The only thing that affected her was that she lost a part-time job. Miss Song was very unhappy about her meeting with He Dongpeng and greeted the western restaurant on Yanjiang Road. , dismissed her.
Mercury didn’t care about this, and turned around and auditioned for a small symphony orchestra in Shanghai.
Dong Lingye was going to introduce her to a private club to play the piano, but she didn’t expect her to join that orchestra.
“I haven’t tried it before, it’s rare to have a chance, it’s good to try it.” Said Mercury, Dong Lingye can only forget it.
Mercury has a hunch that she may not stay in this world for too long.
After all, the system didn’t send her to live a good life. Seeing that the family was fighting like a cockfight, it was obvious that there was no happy ending, and it was almost over.
According to the system’s judgment, she should leave this failed world now, but the system is not online. In this regard, she contacted several restarts of the previous world, and could not help but have a guess, maybe she wants to leave a certain world, in addition to the system, it also requires a certain number of deaths of the main characters in this world.
If this is the case, the system, the electric shock female moral counselor, is probably more like an evaluation mechanism than a simple behavioral guidance.
Day by day, Mercury still lives safely at Grandma Yang’s house, and occasionally cooks and cooks with her, goes out to play with Dong Lingye, studies in the orchestra seriously, and picks up what she learned from the past Violin for a while.
Music is often the same, she learned it smoothly, and finally got a little fun.
It snowed again, and Mercury made two snowmen in the yard.
The winter was over, and the snowman had not yet melted. Mercury and Dong Lingye went out to play, and heard a little gossip about Song Ting from her sisters.
“It was said that the stepson in front died, and he smoked too much cigarettes, and he did not smoke like a man.”
Mercury accidentally saw He Dongpeng again. He didn’t know how to find him. He looked older than the last time he saw him, and even his hair was a little white.
“Seungjo died.” He said sadly.
Mercury was indifferent: “Please let me go, I’m leaving.”
He Dongpeng looked disappointed: “He was your son after all, so are you not sad for him at all?”
Mercury knew very well what was going on with this man now, it was nothing more than a conflict with Song Ting, her own death and her son no one to talk to, remembering how good Muxiang was in the past, she came over and wanted to talk to her— All men start doing silly things like this when they feel old and powerless.
“He Chengzu has never been Muxiang’s son, but has always been her ancestor.” Mercury pointed out indifferently: “You can leave if you are okay.”
He Dongpeng: “…I’m here to tell you that He Xiaolian and Chengzu have been together for a while, and I only know now. Chengzu is dead, but Xiaolian is pregnant with his child, you want Don’t go see her?” At the end, his tone was a little expectant.
Listening to this tone, after all the dust settles, I am old and want a happy ending, so I take the initiative to send a signal of reconciliation, and it seems that I have forgotten all the previous grievances and grievances.
Mercury stood there and looked at the fast-aging man, without the slightest empathy for his pain and expectations, “I’m not interested, your family had better stay away from me.”
He Dongpeng failed to find comfort from his ex-wife. Thinking of how Song Ting would complain about him when he returned home, he felt extremely tired and turned to go to the old house to see He Xiaolian.
In his eyes, He Xiaolian is still the obedient and sensible stepdaughter, and she was forced to be with Chengzu. He did not understand why his ex-wife became like this, even such a well-behaved stepdaughter. Women don’t care.
“It’s not good, sir, Xiaolian is gone! The things in the house have been emptied!” The servant stood at the door of the old house with an anxious face: “Yesterday Xiaolian told me to come back I was looking after the children at home, and I didn’t need to take care of them, so I went back, but I didn’t expect to find that people were missing and things were emptied as soon as I came here today!”
…
Mercury got up early in the morning and saw Grandma Yang in the yard arranging flowers and trees from the attic window. Spring is here, and many flowers are budding, and it will be very lively after a while.
Today she was cooking and bought some toon when she was shopping.
There is a custom in her hometown. When someone in the family wants to travel far, they always make some Chinese toon dishes.
At the dinner table, Grandma Yang kept complimenting her: “This dish is delicious when you cook it, but I always suffer when I cook it.”
Mercury smiled and gave her another chopstick.
