Chapter 17

The 16-year-old Jiang Chen is not tall, as thin as a bamboo pole, with two thin legs like chopsticks, he strides so fast that it took Ruan Qingqing a while to catch up.

"Jiang Chen, I haven't told anyone about you, not even my dad."

But Jiang Chen turned a deaf ear to her explanation, quickened his pace and disappeared after a while.

Ruan Qingqing couldn't chase anymore, and stood there panting, staring at the young man's indifferent and aloof back, feeling depressed, annoyed, and aggrieved.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't join in the fun.

In two lifetimes combined, it was the first time she was scolded like this.

"Gently, the bowl will be smashed by you. Eat quickly, the food is cold."

At dinner, seeing his daughter poking the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, Ruan Dahai couldn't help but say something.

Ruan raised his head slightly, "Dad, do you know what Jiang Chen has been up to lately?"

"I don't know, what happened to him?"

Ruan Qingqing told Ruan Dahai what happened in the afternoon.

Ruan Dahai didn't care much when he learned that Jiang Chen was working as a temporary worker in the cremation factory.

"That is to say, the living conditions are better now. When there was a famine before, there was a lot of food from the dead, so I can't care about so much."

Ruan Qingqing had no appetite in the first place, and when Ruan Dahai talked about it, she lost her appetite even more.

At night, she tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. Although Jiang Chen scolded her in the afternoon, she was a little annoyed, but she was not really angry. She was just worried about how to help Jiang Chen.

-

Seeing Jiang Chen walking towards the door of the unit from a distance, Ruan Qingqing hurried upstairs to the corridor entrance between the second and third floors, where she put the ten sheets of unity that she had prepared in advance on the ground, and then continued upstairs She ran, but she didn't go back to her home, but hid at the corridor between the third and fourth floors, holding her breath and waiting.

"Clap, clap."

As the footsteps got closer, Ruan Qingyuan's heart tensed up, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Finally, Jiang Chen's thin but unruly figure came into view.

The [-]-hour all-night work made Jiang Chen exhausted, and he just wanted to go home and lie down. When he saw a wad of brand-new United banknotes on the stairs, his first reaction was to be delusional.

But when you take a closer look, yes, there is indeed a wad of money on the ground!

He instinctively bent down to pick up the money. The moment he picked up the money, the door of the 201 resident on the second floor opened, and he saw his action of picking up the money.

Aunt Huang was stunned at first, and then she yelled quickly, "I lost the money!"

After speaking, he was fat and fat, and rushed to the stairs in a few strides, and came to Jiang Chen to grab money.

His figure is so strong that he is a different person than usual when he walks three steps and breathes two steps!

Although Jiang Chen and Aunt Huang were different in size by more than one ton, their movements were more flexible, and they easily avoided Aunt Huang's movements.

Aunt Huang rushed to nothing, and immediately yelled at the top of her voice, "What are you doing? This is the money I lost, and I'm looking for it!"

Jiang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, his voice was cold and hoarse, "Did you drop the money? How much? How long?"

Of course, Aunt Huang couldn't answer. She wanted to see how thick Jiang Chen's banknotes were, and roughly estimated the number, but Jiang Chen put the money in his trouser pocket.

Aunt Huang is in a hurry, the pie that fell from the sky, everyone who sees it will have a share, and this poor boy must not let this poor boy get a big deal by himself.

"Hand over the money, it's my money! If you don't hand over the money today, you're going to get away! Take it out!"

Ruan Weiwei, who was hiding upstairs, was dumbfounded, never expecting this to happen.

The stair passage of the unit building is narrow, and the echo is loud, and Aunt Huang's voice is loud, which soon alarmed the residents of the whole unit, and they opened the doors to watch the excitement.

"What's going on? Why did Aunt Huang have a fight with Wensang, surnamed Jiang?"

"I don't know, go and see."

The entire unit building has five floors, and there are two households on each floor. Basically, those who are at home have come out, and they all gather around the stairs on the third and second floors to watch the excitement.

The door of Jiang Chen's house also opened, and a skinny "little boy" aged eleven or twelve ran out and ran to Jiang Chen's side.

"Brother, what's going on?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the "little boy" and said nothing.

Aunt Huang seized the opportunity to accuse Jiang Chen in public, "Everyone come to comment. I accidentally dropped the money when I went out to buy vegetables this morning. When I came out to look for it, I saw him picking up my money. I shouted. He paid it back, he didn't pay it back, it's just too shameless!"

We live in the same building, we don't see each other when we look down, and we have some friendship with each other.

What's more, Aunt Huang's family's economic conditions are really good, and both sons are employees of the Railway Bureau.

And Jiang Chen is just a foreign tenant, he is so poor, he doesn't even have a formal job, and his personality is even more unpleasant. Therefore, everyone believes in Aunt Huang and blames Jiang Chen one after another.

"Xiaojiang, how can you behave like this, what's the point of taking other people's money? You can't be like this."

Seeing that everyone supported her, Aunt Huang was secretly happy, and took the opportunity to threaten Jiang Chen.

"We are all neighbors, and I don't want to make too much trouble. You return the money to me, and forget about today's matter, or I will call the police and arrest you!"

Jiang Chen coldly glanced around at the onlookers, and when he saw Ruan Qingqing in the corner, his face was obviously gloomy.

Ruan Qingqing always felt that Jiang Chen seemed to have seen through her tricks, and her heart was in turmoil.

"Okay, let's call the police, if the employer is afraid that you will get your surname!"

Seeing that Jiang Chen was not afraid but had a firm attitude, Aunt Huang felt a little guilty.

After all, the money does not belong to her.

Other people who didn't understand why were angered by Jiang Chen's arrogance, and shouted to call the police while condemning him loudly.

"This son of Dog R is simply too shameless, call the police and arrest his son of a bitch and lock him up!"

"That's right, if you pick up the money and don't return it, what's the difference between that and a thief?"

The "little boy" defended his brother angrily, "My brother is not a thief!"

Seeing that the commotion was getting bigger and bigger, Ruan Qingqing squeezed out of the crowd and shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop arguing, this money does not belong to Aunt Huang!"

The rowdy crowd fell silent.

Ruan Qingqing's family has one of the best financial conditions in the entire unit building, and she is also known as a good girl, everyone has a very good impression of her.

Aunt Huang, who had a guilty conscience, became angry from embarrassment, and jumped slightly to get angry at Ruan.

"Ms. Ruan, how can you open your eyes and talk nonsense? You helped him confuse my money, did you expect him to give you half of it? You do such ignorant things at a young age, be careful of retribution !"

On weekdays, this Aunt Huang greeted her and Ruan Dahai with a smile on her face. She looked like a very kind old lady, but she didn't expect to be so shameless behind her back.

Ruan Qingqing was so angry that she didn't save face for the other party immediately.

"Aunt Huang, let me ask you something, Jiang Chen found the money on this staircase, right?"

Aunt Huang turned her face away and remained silent.

"You live on the second floor, and you go downstairs to buy groceries. Why did you lose money and fall up the stairs on the third floor? Maybe you can grow wings and fly to the third floor with this money?"

That's right, you live on the second floor, why did you lose your money upstairs?
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Aunt Huang.

Aunt Huang said stubbornly, "I went upstairs to dry the clothes before I went out to buy vegetables, and it must have fallen at that time!"

Ruan Qingqing was speechless, "Since you lost the money, how much did you lose? What denominations are they all in?"
