Chapter 42: It’s hard to say, is he a hidden enemy spy?

"I know." Yi Zhonghai said.

Speaking of this Jia Zhang, not only the aunt, but Yi Zhonghai himself also feels annoyed.

In fact, with Jia Dongxu's income, the family can still make ends meet even if they live frugally.

But Jia Zhang was lazy and gluttonous all her life. She didn't do anything, but when it was time to eat, she had to eat first.

Not only should you eat enough, you should also eat well.

As a result, life became difficult for this family.

Yi Zhonghai sometimes helps them, but he never takes the lion's share.

The old couple has no offspring, so in case Jia Dongxu becomes unreliable in the future, they have to save money as a way out.

Fortunately.

The Jia family has their own way.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu's wife Qin Huairu coldly and found that she was "quite capable".

Regardless of what others say, at least Sha Zhu was exploited by his family.

This way he doesn't have to worry about the Jia family.

After finishing his meal and putting down his bowl, Yi Zhonghai put on his coat, said something to the aunt, and went out.

The Jia family also finished their meal.

Qin Huairu collected the dishes and chopsticks.

Banggeng and Xiaodang were sitting on the bed playing.

Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu were both sitting at the table muttering to themselves.

"Why hasn't Lao Yi come yet?"

"Dongxu, go call him again."

Jia Dongxu said, "Mom, you are too anxious."

Jia Zhang slapped her thigh and said, "How can I not be anxious?! We have to do this as soon as possible, in case someone else gets there first..."

Just saying.

"Dongxu, what's the matter? Why is it so urgent?"

The door of the Jia family's house was open, and Yi Zhonghai walked in directly.

"Lao Yi, I want to discuss something with you!"

Jia Zhang hurriedly stood up, thought for a moment, pushed Jia Dongxu and said:

"Dongxu, you say!"

Jia Dongxu hesitated, as if thinking about how to start the conversation.

"That's it."

"Jiang Bo, who lives next door to us, hasn't come back for two days and a night."

"We wondered if something happened to him outside."

"Something happened? What happened?"

Yi Zhonghai still didn't quite understand what he meant.

Jia Zhang rushed to say, "Yesterday morning, I saw him go into the mountains again."

"He didn't come back last night. I think he probably died in the mountains and won't be able to come back."

Jia Zhangshi is not like Jia Dongxu. She always speaks very directly.

"So what do you mean? You want me to tell the street about this situation?"

"The street office doesn't care about this matter. If you go to the street office, you can call the police..."

"no!"

Jia Zhang interrupted him.

Yi Zhonghai was also a little confused. Indeed, he also felt that Jia Zhang was not such an enthusiastic person.

But for a moment I didn't understand what she meant.

Jia Dongxu stammered beside him:

"My mother and I have been discussing this. It is unlikely that Jiang Bo will be able to come back. Do you think it is possible? Can you..."

Jia Dongxu hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't open his mouth.

"Hey! I'll just say it straight, Old Yi."

Jia Zhang slapped her thigh, tilted her head and squinted her eyes and said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Don't you have connections in the street? Can you go through the formalities and transfer the Jiang family's house to Dongxu?"

After listening to her, Yi Zhonghai was a little stunned.

This is a bit too hasty.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Jia Dongxu with a hint of blame in his eyes.

Such a bizarre idea must have been Jia Zhang's, but you, Jia Dongxu, didn't try to persuade her.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"After all, no one knows what Jiang Bo's situation is."

"After all, he's only been away for one night. We're just guessing here and can't be sure of anything."

"What if they come back? What do you think will happen?"

Jia Zhang narrowed her eyes and said:

"Lao Yi, what's wrong with you? Why don't you help our family?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "It's not that I won't help you, it's just that..."

"Sister-in-law, you are indeed a little too anxious."

"Let's wait for two more days. If Jiang Bo doesn't come back, I'll go and arrange this for Dong Xu."

Yi Zhonghai also knew that the five members of the Jia family were now crowded in one room.

The living space is really too tight.

Qin Huairu, with her two children, squeezed on the big bunk bed with Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Dongxu found a door panel and connected it to the big bunk bed to make a bed.

The door panel was too narrow, so he lay down at the junction of the door panel and the bunk bed, with one side higher than the other, and he didn't dare move when he slept at night.

One time, he rolled over and broke the door panel, and nearly broke his back when he fell.

As a result, I sleep poorly every night and you can imagine how bad my sleep quality is.

When I wake up every morning, I feel like my whole body is falling apart.

Yi Zhonghai also knew that Jia Dongxu's life was not easy.

He also counted on Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age, and of course he did not want to be alienated from the Jia family, so he added:

"Don't worry, if there is a chance, I will definitely give priority to Dongxu."

"Besides, everyone can see the situation in your family. No one can say anything if Dongxu is given priority."

"I still have a say in this yard."

"Do not worry."

As he spoke, he patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder.

Jia Dongxu understood what he meant and nodded.

Jia Zhang snorted and said:

"Okay then, let's wait for two days."

"If Jiang still doesn't make any move in two days, you can go to Dongxu to arrange something."

"You can't refuse then."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law!"

Yi Zhonghai comforted them again and then left.

After he left, Qin Huairu, who had been silent beside him, said:

"Mom, I told you that you were too anxious."

"I advise you to wait two days before making a decision. If you are in such a hurry, go find an old man."

"I think even the uncle has some opinions."

Jia Zhang's face tightened and she said:

"What do you know!"

"We have to act early on. If we are late, others will take over."

"Have you finished your work? Why are you just coming out to chat?"

Qin Huairu lowered her head, pursed her lips, said nothing, and went back to work.

Jia Dongxu hung his head and whispered to Jia Zhang:

"Mom, what Huairu said makes sense."

"I also think you are a little too anxious about this matter."

Jia Zhang whispered in his ear:

"No, there's something I haven't told you yet."

"I heard from Yuan Chao's mother in Erli Hutong that there were gunshots over at Xishan last night."

"They said they were fighting enemy spies."

“We’ve arrested a lot of people!”

Jia Dongxu was shocked.

"There are still such a large number of enemy spies now?!"

Jia Zhang's eyes narrowed, "Who knows?"

"Anyway, Jiang Bo went into the mountains on that day. How could it be such a coincidence that he happened to be there on that day?"

"Who knows? He might be a hidden enemy agent."

Jia Dongxu disagreed, "No way, how old is he?"

"Who can say for sure? Maybe he was instigated to rebel."

"Yuan Chao's mother said that if this person is really an enemy spy, he will never be able to get out in this lifetime."

“So, we need to hurry up on this matter.”

"If he is really sentenced, his house might be confiscated. We need to ask Lao Yi to arrange this for us as soon as possible!"
