Chapter 67 Chapter 67

“Knock, knock, knock,” came the knock on the door, and Wu Ma’s voice came through the study door, “Nong Nong, Xiao Zhang says he wants to see you about something.”

Lu Nong put down the photo in his hand, got up and walked to the door of the study to open the door, Wu Ma saw Lu Nong out, pointed downstairs and said, “He is waiting in the living room, looks like there is an emergency.”

Lu Neng frowned shallowly, Zhang Kaiping looking for her?

“You watch over Huai for me, I’ll go ask him what he wants to see me about.”

Mrs. Wu instructed her, “Hey, okay, walk slowly, don’t fall.”

Lu Nong responded helplessly, “I know, I’m not a child.”

Downstairs, I saw Zhang Kaiping walking back and forth in the living room, his pace is resounding, after half a year of hard training, the original chubby body has become strong and lean, round face has become angular, although not as handsome as Pei Zheng’s facial features, but it is also a handsome little man.

It’s true what they say, “Every fat person is a potential”.

When Zhang Kaiping heard footsteps behind him, he hurriedly turned around and saw Lu Nong greet him, and said anxiously, “Sister Nong, I just forgot to tell Pei Zheng that when I helped him collect the letter, Zhao Xin was also there, and if I hadn’t appeared in time, it was very likely that Pei Zheng’s letter would have been intercepted by Zhao Xin.”

“What letter?” Lu Neng quickly responded, “Could it be a letter from Song Lacey?”

Zhang Kaiping nodded: “Lacey said in the letter that he was knocked out by a man and sent on a train to the Northwest in the first place, he drew the man’s appearance in the letter, Pei Zheng took the letter and the portrait and sent it to find Uncle Pei, I’m afraid that Pei Zheng will be in danger if Zhao Xin and that man are really very close.”

Lu Nong was surprised at Song Lacey’s experience and puzzled, how did Zhao Xin know that Pei Zheng and Song Lacey corresponded?

Although she hadn’t looked at the portrait, she shared Pei Zheng’s belief that the man who had knocked out Song Lacey was most likely the one who had attacked her in the first place.

If Zhao Xin guessed that Pei’s family would suspect her, suspecting that they would definitely investigate her later, there were many directions, and Zhao Xin would focus on the point that was unfavorable to her-Song Lacey.

Pei Zheng might or might not write to Song Lacey, but Zhao Xin was also within her own power to keep a watchful eye on letters from the northwest just in case.

It was so close, if Zhang Kaiping hadn’t gotten the letter in time, the letter Song Lacey sent would be in Zhao Xin’s hands right now.

Since a letter did come from the Northwest and Zhao Xin didn’t get it, what will Zhao Xin do next?

She wasn’t sure what Song Lacey had said in her letter, would she be desperate?

No, without seeing the content of the letter, Zhao Xin wasn’t sure if the letter was a threat to her, how big the threat was, so she didn’t dare to act rashly, fifty percent of the possibilities would be to choose to continue to monitor Pei Zheng’s movements, and the other fifty percent chose to take the risk.

But when she saw Pei Zheng hurrying out the door with the letter, fifty percent would turn into ninety percent.

Zhang Kaiping was right, Pei Zheng might be in danger.

Lu Nong’s face solemnized, “I’ll call your Uncle Pei right now.”

Zhang Kaiping nodded.

Lu Nong dialed the phone of Pei Silk An’s office, the one who answered the phone was not Pei Silk An himself, Lu Nong patiently said, “Looking for Pei Silk An, I am his wife Lu Nong.”

After a while, Pei Jing’an’s low voice rang on the other end of the phone, “Hey, Nong Nong, is something wrong?”

Pei Jingan knew that Lu Nu would easily not call during his working hours.

“Pei Jingan, Pei Zheng went to look for you, has he arrived yet?” Lu Nong didn’t say much nonsense.

Pei Jingan: “Pei Zheng? Didn’t he go to school?”

Lu Nong heard the heart said not good, Pei Zheng since childhood in the army grew up, the road to the army than home are familiar with the road, so long is not yet, the road must be encountered things, she was a little anxious:

“Song Laixi came with a letter enclosing a portrait of a suspicious man, and Pei Zheng went to deliver the portrait to you and has been gone for two hours. Zhang Kaiping told me after Pei Zheng’s departure that he met Zhao Xin when he was taking the letter for Pei Zheng, and that Zhao Xin wanted to intercept the letter, and that if the man in the picture was really related to the

Zhao Xin has connections, she knows that Pei Zheng took the letter to look for you, and will likely doggedly deal with Pei Zheng, so hurry up and go meet him.”

Pei Silian frowned when he heard it and didn’t hang up the phone right away, but pacified Lu Nong, “Okay, don’t be in a hurry, stay at home and don’t go out, I’ll go find Pei Zheng right away.”

“Is Zhang Kaiping there? You tell him to come to the phone.”

Lu Nong let the phone to Zhang Kaiping, I don’t know what was said on the phone, Zhang Kaiping listened and said loudly into the phone, “Guarantee to complete the mission!”

Hanging up the phone, Lu Nong is still uneasy, but then again she is uneasy there is nothing she can do, she can only keep walking back and forth in the living room like Zhang Kaiping when he came to wait for news.

Zhang Kaiping calm down, body posture straight, hands on both knees sitting on the sofa.

Lu Nu turned around and saw that Zhang Kaiping was still there and said to him, “If you have something to do, go ahead and get busy.”

Zhang Kaiping shook his head, “I’m not busy, Uncle Pei instructed me to protect you and Xiao Huai Wu Ma, my task is to guard you until Uncle Pei returns.”

“You sit down first, Pei Zheng’s hands have been top-notch since he was a child, ordinary people can’t beat him easily,” Zhang Kaiping got up to help Lu Nong, “You’re carrying a child, don’t worry too much.”

Lu Nong shivered goose bumps, she was only five months pregnant, her pregnant belly was not big, where did she need everyone to treat her like a glass man.

“There’s no need to help me,” Lu Nong pushed Zhang Kaiping away and moved to the sofa to sit down, thinking of something, her eyes rolled, she reached out and beckoned for Zhang Kaiping to come closer, “Go to Zhao Xin’s house and poke around, see if she’s around.”

Zhang Kaiping raised his eyes, “Okay, you wait at home and don’t go out.”

“Go go go, I’m not going out.” Lu Nu waved her hand.

After Zhang Kaiping left, Lu Nong rubbed her stomach and started running through Zhao Xin as a person from the beginning.

Pei Silian had told her that Zhao Xin came from a poor family in the countryside, and was a maid in the family of a high-ranking KMT official before the liberation, and after the liberation she returned to her hometown to marry a han from the same village, and a few years later her husband fell ill and died, and Zhao Xin, who hadn’t given her husband any children, had been kicked out by her in-laws.

Zhao Xin desperate, came to the capital city to join relatives, relatives to Zhao Xin introduced the street sweeping work, Zhao Xin smacked the street sweeping is not decent, relatives introduced her to the factory workshop temporary work, the state-run hotel waiter’s work, are not two months after the resignation.

This time the relatives found a doorway and introduced her to Song Laixi foreign family Xu family as a nanny aunt, Zhao Xin subsided, did not resign.

Five years later, Song Lacey’s mother died, Zhao Xin married Song Lacey’s father, and the Xu family moved to Shanghai.

Lu Nu was very curious about this relative of Zhao Xin’s, what kind of relative could tolerate Zhao Xin changing jobs again and again?

But if the relatives were genuinely good to Zhao Xin, why did they introduce her to the street sweeping job in the first place, and wouldn’t it have been better to arrange for her to work in the factory directly?

Unfortunately, Pei Silian said that this relative left the capital city after Zhao Xin married and went to the harbor city.

Also, it’s just as well that Zhao Xin can’t stand sweeping the streets, but she even quit her job as a temporary factory worker and a waitress at a state-run hotel, two jobs that belong to the working class/class and are decent at this time.

Calling her high-minded and detached from the persona she came from, she was able to work diligently as a nanny in the Xu family for another five years.

Just as Lu Nong was lost in thought, a knock on the door outside sounded, Lu Nong looked puzzled, walked out of the living room to the courtyard door and asked, “Who is it?”

After a few moments, a soft laugh came from outside, followed by the woman outside saying, “Sister Lu, it’s me, Zhao Xin, why is your house locked today, I came to see you, open the door.”

“……” You’re laughing so villainously that opening the door for you makes me a fool?

Lu Nong winced, he had to be convinced of Zhao Xin’s mental quality, it was at this time, she could still laugh.

Lu Nu: “…… Sorry, I’m a bit uncomfortable, you can come back another day.”

Zhao Xin coughed lightly, “Is sister Lu deliberately avoiding me? I didn’t come here alone, there are a few other sisters-in-law next to me, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Li are all here, if you don’t open the door, we’ll have to go to Mrs. Qin’s house!

Get together.”

Big Sister Qin? Lu Nu was puzzled, how could Big Sister Qin be with Zhao Xin?

I heard Zheng’s sister-in-law, who hosted the tea party, say, “Nongnong ah, originally you are pregnant I shouldn’t bother you at this time, but now there are rumors in the compound that you and Comrade Zhao Xin have a big contradiction, and Comrade Zhao Xin took the initiative to find me, so that I can be the one to talk about the peace, and then you and Comrade Zhao Xin will make out the contradiction face to face, so that we don’t affect the internal unity.”

Lu Nu: “……”

Outside the door, Big Sister Qin said at this time, “Since Nong Nong is not feeling well, let’s come back to see her another day, resolving the conflict is not as bad as this day.”

“That’s right, let’s come back another day.” This is Jiang Yi’s mom, Li Lingyi.

“That won’t do, how do I hear Comrade Lu is healthy and full of vigor, not like he’s sick,” said a slightly shrill and unfamiliar voice, “Oh, it’s not pretending to be sick, is it?”

“I see ah, is being held in the heart of Senator Pei painfully pampered pampered, so do not put us this group of people in the eyes, right?”

Another person chimed in, “That’s right, Big Sister Zheng, look, even when you came she didn’t even open the door to see you, so it’s obvious that she doesn’t care about us.”

Lu Nu almost gas laugh, Zhao Xin ah Zhao Xin, conspiracy can not directly come to the Yang conspiracy, real to her play understand.

She wanted to see what kind of trick Zhao Xin was playing.

Lu Nu opened the latch and let a group of people in.

As soon as she opened the door, Big Sister Qin hurriedly walked to Lu Nong’s side, secretly giving Lu Nong a wink, “Let me see, where are you uncomfortable?”

Lu Nong will understand, covering the head crooked in the Qin big sister, coughing lightly said, “It does not matter, but it is a cold headache this kind of small disease, I am afraid of infecting Comrade Zhao Xin before letting her come on another day, I did not expect to cause a misunderstanding.”

Zheng Da Sister surveyed Lu Nu, saw her skin snow white (natural), the corners of her eyes red (you know, last night), and the person was sickly, seemed to be really sick, her face changed from thinly veiled anger to guilt.

“Meizi, I am sorry, it is big sister who misunderstood you, I thought …… that big sister Zheng sincerely apologized.

“Ahem, it’s okay Big Sister Zheng, it’s me who didn’t make it clear, you guys quickly inside please.”

Lu Nu looked at Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin also looked towards Lu Nong with a worried face, seeming to be as worried about Lu Nong as the bystanders, but when the bystanders couldn’t see it, she revealed a fleeting smile towards Lu Nong.

Lu Neng narrowed his eyes, and in the next second, he similarly flashed a meaningful smile at her.

The corners of Zhao Xin’s mouth froze as she gave Lu Nong a fixed look and followed the crowd into the house.

Lu Nong lightly grunted, play with me high very inexplicable, Laozi play dead you.
