Zhu Mu Lang Ma

After Fu Kun transferred the money to Sun Wei, he received a courier, which was an IOU from Sun Wei's courier. It was agreed that the repayment time would be before the 25th of next month.

Fu Kun looked at Sun Wei and the dog chewing and spit out the words and smiled. He didn't care about the IOU. He and Sun Wei had known each other for 20 years. They went to and from school together, skipped school together, and fought together. , got beaten together, Sun Wei couldn't remember how many beatings he endured for him, so many years of friendship, he will definitely borrow the money if he can.

And he knew that if it wasn't for Sun Wei, he would never have borrowed money from him.

He sent a text message to Sun Wei, telling him that the IOU had been received.

It took Sun Wei a long time to send him back a note, Kunzi, you are a true friend, and I owe you everything in this life.

Fu Kun laughed at the text message for a while, this person has been out for a few years and has become more and more nasty.

There is still some money on hand, what Cheng Qingqing means is that there is no need to wait until the money is paid to renovate, anyway, acquaintances will not change their minds, just start to renovate now, the money on hand is almost enough.

The decoration is not complicated, just the floor, wall and door face, but because of the factor of "upgrade", Fu Kun put a lot of effort into the design of the store, wandering around from store to store to see how others do it, Come back and look at their storefront.

Finally, the decoration plan was determined, how to match the colors, how to arrange the shelves, how to use the lighting, everything was decided, and Cheng Qingqing finally figured out the name of the store after several days of hard work.

"It's called Martha Women's Clothing! Martha!" Cheng Qingqing squatted on a pile of cement in the store and waved, "We will have a branch in the future..."

"It's Latty?" Fu Kun gave her a thumbs up, "Have a vision!"

Cheng Qingqing sighed: "Kunzi, can you spare sister?"

Fu Kun was happy, and patted the wall: "It's just Martha, if you want to call it foreign style, it's quite foreign style, if you want to say it's down-to-earth, you can also catch it, Sister Mary, it's settled like this, Martha."

Fu Kun didn't urge Sun Wei about the money, and he didn't ask too much. It seemed too meaningless to ask too much about his relationship with Sun Wei.

At the beginning of the month, Sun Wei called him [-] yuan, and called him again: "Kunzi, this money is... interest."

"Are you sick?" Fu Kun was stunned for a moment, "Is this thing useful for borrowing money between us? Just pay me back what you take away."

Sun Wei was silent there for a long time, and when he spoke again, there was a nasal sound in his voice: "Kun Zi, you are really..."

"Mr. Sun, why have you become such a motherfucker now?" Fu Kun was a little helpless, "Do you want me to wipe your tears?"

"I owe you, Fu Kun, I really owe you..." Sun Wei said in a trembling voice, and hung up the phone before finishing speaking.

Fu Kun stared at the phone in a daze, and clicked his tongue, this man is about to be forced to hang himself by his mother-in-law...

However, when he thought of his mother-in-law-to-be, Fu Kun couldn't help feeling restless for a while, and after the restlessness, he felt faintly uneasy.Since she refused to see the girl last time, my mother didn't mention these things anymore, but every time she talked about so-and-so's daughter-in-law and so-and-so's girlfriend, she still unconsciously showed envious expressions.

Fu Kun didn't care about his girlfriend before, but now... he doesn't care.

Even if I don’t dare to think about some things, I’ve already thought about them. Whether I’m pretending to be stupid or avoiding it, there’s always something in my heart that I can’t touch. Once I touch it, it’s either annoying or frightening.

Fortunately, I am a man. If I were a girl, at this age, I might be pushed into something.

The person from the decoration company called and asked him to go and look at the floor tiles. Fu Kun temporarily put these aside and drove to the shop.

Now if he didn't go to the building materials market to pick up materials, he wouldn't drive the Chang'an Star, and would drive the Prince that Fu Yijie bought for him.

This car is the first gift that Fu Yijie bought for him with the money he earned. He has always paid attention to maintenance, and the car has always been very comfortable to drive. Cheng Cheng put on the swimming goggles he bought before driving back home, and everything went well.

Of course, occasionally when he honks the horn, he still thinks of the situation in the wasteland on the Fourth Ring Road that day, and even honks the horn without confidence.

The decoration company's progress was very fast, and it was almost done in more than half a month. The next thing was that he and Cheng Qingqing bought goods.

Sun Wei didn't contact him after crying and put down the phone last time. Fu Kun looked at the time, and it was almost time to settle the house payment there. He took the phone and dialed Sun Wei's number.

Sorry, the number you dialed is empty, please check and dial again.

Sorry, The number you dialed does note exist, please check it and dial later.

Fu Kun was stunned for a moment, and took the phone to his eyes to look at it. Yes, it was Sun Wei's name.

He thought for a while, and dialed again. After a short wait, the mechanical words still came from the receiver, the number you dialed is an empty number.

Empty number?

Sun Wei changed his number several times, and every time he sent him a short message to notify him, and usually both numbers were used for a period of time before they stopped.

Fu Kun hung up the phone, stood outside the store, and watched the crowds coming and going on the commercial plaza pedestrian street, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

After standing for a few minutes, he picked up his mobile phone, flipped through the phone book, and dialed Lu Chunyu's number.

Lu Chunyu's number was connected, but it rang until the end and hung up automatically, and no one answered.

The unreliability in Fu Kun's heart slowly spread, he bent his knees and stared at the ground: "Sun Wei, what are you doing?"

Although his heart was already beating, Fu Kun didn't want to think about the worse. He squatted in front of the store, stunned for a while, and then dialed Sun Wei's number again.

Still hear the disturbing mechanical answer, the number you dialed is empty, the number you dialed is empty, empty, empty, empty!

Something happened to Sun Wei?Fu Kun frowned, took out a business card holder from his bag, and found the business card Sun Wei gave him during the Chinese New Year, which had their company's landline on it.

"Sun Wei is not working here anymore!" Hearing that he was looking for Sun Wei, his tone became very impatient.

"What?" Fu Kun was stunned, his scalp was numb, and he almost lost his grip on the phone, "I didn't do it with you anymore? When did you leave? Why didn't you do it?"

"I embezzled the customer's payment, and it took me a long time to make up the money! If the boss hadn't let him go, he would have to go to jail now!" The other side hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Fu Kun held the phone without moving it for a long time, and it took him a long time to stand up. As soon as he moved, he felt a sudden blackness in front of his eyes and severe dizziness. He quickly supported the ground with his hands and slowed down. Slowly stand up straight.

"Is Kunzi okay?" Cheng Qingqing had just arrived at the store and asked, "Dizzy?"

"Squatting for too long..." Fu Kun smiled, turned around and walked to the car, "I'm going out for a while, I have something to do."

"Well, by the way, I made an appointment with them to pay next week, and it's almost time for us to buy," Cheng Qingqing said behind him, "Do you think the specific time is suitable?"

"I'll call you at night." Fu Kun said.

Fu Kun has been to Sun Wei's house countless times, and the road is as familiar as going back to his own home. He can know where there is a pit and where there are missing bricks with his eyes closed. Every time he goes back, he is in a good mood.

But today he walked very hard on this section of the road. While wanting to drive faster, he was anxious to know what happened to Sun Wei and what he did with the money. At the same time, he felt that the car was going too fast. Afraid to hear news that made him despair.

It's noon time to get off work, and people would come in and out of the corridor of Sun Wei's house from time to time. Fu Kun parked the car downstairs and sat in the car for almost 10 minutes without moving.

"Fu Kun?" Someone called him.

Fu Kun raised his head and saw Sun Xiao coming out of the corridor.

Sun Xiao would usually smile a little embarrassedly when she saw him, but today she didn't smile, she just walked to him with her eyebrows frowned, her complexion not very good.

"You are..." Sun Xiao bit her lip, "Are you here to find my brother?"

"No," Fu Kun tapped the fuel tank twice with his fingers, and seeing Sun Xiao's appearance, he almost understood, and his heart sank a little bit, "It's impossible for him to stay at home now."

Sun Xiao bowed her head in silence for a while, then suddenly raised her head to look at him: "Did Sun Wei cheat you out of money?"

Sun Xiao's word "cheat" made Fu Kun's heart tighten, cheat?

Sun Wei cheated him of money?

"I can't contact him now, I don't know where he is, and his mobile phone number has changed." Sun Xiao frowned tightly, "How much money did he take from you? How much?"

Fu Kun didn't speak.

He was cheated by Sun Wei?

This best friend of 20 years lied to him?

"Fu Kun, don't worry," Sun Xiao's eyes were a little red, and she grabbed the handlebar anxiously, her voice shaking violently, "My parents don't know about this yet, but I promise, if we can't find him, we will I will return the money to you, tell me how much it is, and I can find a way..."

"No," Fu Kun smiled, and patted Sun Xiao's arm, "Don't worry, I'm not here to ask for money."

Before Sun Xiao could speak again, he started the car, turned around, and looked back at her: "If you can contact your brother and tell him that he is really in trouble, just tell me the truth, even if it is 100 million, I will do it for you." Go help him find a way, but he can't fool me like this."

Fu Kun didn't go home, he drove aimlessly in circles on the street, and finally parked the car by the river.

He was lying on the grass by the river bank, staring at the sun in the sky. The weather had begun to warm up, but when the wind blew, he could still feel the chill.

There was no confusion in his mind, things were simple, and there was no confusion at all.

Sun Wei didn't know why he embezzled the money for the goods, and he would go to jail if he didn't pay, so he cheated him of 30 yuan, no, it was 25 yuan, and then changed his mobile phone number and disappeared.

All he felt was a blank in his mind now, so empty, like a lotus leaf when it rains, no matter how many raindrops pass by, it can't hold a single drop of water.

He has been desperately trying to make money since high school. At first, it was to prove that his choice of not going to college was not wrong. Later, he wanted to let his parents and Fu Yijie live a comfortable life.

He started with a 800-yuan stall, and worked hard little by little, from plastic sheeting to steel wire beds, from one fixed stall to two, step by step, and finally bought a house and saved enough money to buy a storefront.

But just when he felt that everything was starting to unfold according to his plan, and he was about to take another step forward, there was nothing at once.

The money he lent to Sun Wei was almost all the money he had on hand, except for the decoration cost.

With Sun Wei's disappearance, he even has enough working capital.

He felt a sudden darkness in front of him.

Not only because of the possibility of not opening the store and the predicament of starting all over again, but also because it was his best friend who made him become such a person, and it was he who felt that he could fight all the irons for each other.

His hands were very cold, and this unbearable chill crawled along his arms to his whole body little by little. He felt breathless and his heart ached from the cold.

He wanted to ask Sun Wei why?

If Sun Wei told him the truth, even if the store failed to open, he would still give the money to Sun Wei.

But why?

Why use this most inauthentic way!

Fu Yijie and Jiang Song were intern together, and they were both following in their mouths this time around. They couldn't tell what the specifics were. They studied and did odd jobs with the doctor who took them every day. Children who don’t know Grandma Liu, they have to help coax them, and they will be asked questions suddenly from time to time.

Fu Yijie paid back, but Jiang Song was scolded several times.

"It's much more tiring than going to class," Jiang Song continued to click tut during the lunch break, "The little subsidy the school gives is not as much as the money I get from working part-time."

"Come on, don't you say Dr. Liu is handsome, would you be happy to watch him from the sidelines?" Fu Yijie said with a smile.

"Don't mention this, no matter how handsome you are, he'll scold me when he sees me," Jiang Song waved his hands, and after thinking about it, he whispered, "Jiang Song! You don't even have enough professional knowledge to do pedicures!"

Fu Yijie laughed for a long time, and was about to talk when the phone rang. He took a look and found that it was an unfamiliar phone number from his home.

Fu Kun changed his number?He picked it up: "Hello?"

"Fu Yijie?" A female voice came from over there.

Fu Yijie immediately recognized who it was: "Sister Qingqing? Did you change your number?"

"Hey, it's me. I just changed my number last month. This number is cheap. Are you working now? My sister wants to ask you something, are you free?" Cheng Qingqing's voice sounded a little anxious.

"Well, you ask." Fu Yijie walked to the window and stood there.

"It's nothing." Cheng Qingqing hesitated, "I just want to ask, do you know what happened to your brother recently? I think you two brothers have a good relationship, and he should tell you if he has anything..."

"What's wrong with my brother?" Fu Yijie was a little anxious when he heard it.

"Ah, I guess you don't know, well, don't tell him that I asked you, this person doesn't know what's going on," Cheng Qingqing sighed, "It turned out that we were a good partner, but now he Suddenly he said no, he had to introduce another person to me. That person is very familiar, and it doesn’t mean that he can’t partner with him. Anyway, that person is willing to just invest money and not participate in the business, but no matter how I think about it, I don’t know. It's strange, he just wanted to open a boutique shop for so many years, but now that everything is done, he says he won't do it!"

Fu Yijie frowned, and immediately realized that there was no other reason, only one possibility, that there was something wrong with Fu Kun's money.

"He definitely doesn't want me to ask you, or you can ask about it from the side. There is still room now. If he can do it together, my sister must still be a partner with him. We have worked hard for so long in the early stage..."

"Sister, I understand." Fu Yijie asked Cheng Qingqing about the specific situation, and hung up the phone.

After returning to the dormitory at night, Fu Yijie called Fu Kun, but Fu Kun didn't answer.

Fu Yijie called home again, but his father answered, saying that Fu Kun was sleeping.

"I'm sleeping every day, and I saw him sleeping when I came back from get off work," Dad said distressedly, "I guess I'm too tired during this time, can I wake him up for you?"

"No need, I'm fine," Fu Yijie bit his lower lip, "I'll rest on weekends, I'll go home and see you."

"That's good," Dad was immediately happy, "I'll tell your mother when she comes back."

"Don't buy too many groceries, I'll only be back for two days on the weekend." Fu Yijie smiled.

Fu Yijie usually takes the bus home, sleeps as soon as he gets on the bus, and sleeps until the car stops, but this time he went back to the car and stared blankly, staring out the window in a daze.

Fu Kun must have encountered some trouble, otherwise, according to Fu Kun's personality, knowing that he ran home on the weekend, he would definitely call to ask about it that day, but this time he hasn't even sent a text message.

What happened?

Fu Yijie took a taxi directly from the station to go home. This was the first time Fu Kun didn't wait outside the station for the first time when he went home in the past few years.

It happened to be time for dinner when he got home, Fu Yijie ran all the way upstairs, and when he opened the door, he smelled the aroma of food.

Mom poked her head out from the kitchen: "Oh, my doctor is back!"

"Let me see my teeth," Fu Yijie smiled, kicked his shoes twice, ran over to hug his mother, and then turned his head to look into the living room. His father hadn't come back yet, and he hadn't seen Fu Kun either. "Where's my brother?"

"I went to buy you some snacks." Mom touched his face. "Your brother has been catching up on sleep these days. He didn't wake up until just now, so he ran out quickly."

While talking, the door rang, and Fu Kun walked in with a bunch of food.

Fu Yijie turned his head, and at a glance, he found that Fu Kun had lost weight and looked quite tired.

"Brother." He called out, and went over to hug Fu Kun.

"I overslept today." Fu Kun also put his arms around him and patted his back, then rubbed his back vigorously twice, "Did you take a taxi back?"

"Well, it's not troublesome to take a taxi." Fu Yijie smiled, and heard that Fu Kun's voice was a bit hoarse. He closed his eyes and buried himself in Fu Kun's shoulder and took a deep breath before letting go.

During the meal, Fu Kun looked quite normal, but his complexion was not very good. Fu Yijie secretly observed Fu Kun while chatting with his parents.

Fu Kun was still the same as before, even his poor mouth remained the same, but Fu Yijie could still see that he was distracted occasionally, and the smile on his face would quickly disappear when he was not speaking.

Fu Yijie didn't want his parents to worry, so he didn't immediately pull Fu Kun into the house to ask questions. He didn't follow Fu Kun until the whole family was tired from chatting and his parents went back to sleep. bedroom.

"Wash up and sleep, get tired from the car ride." Fu Kun patted him.

"Brother," Fu Yijie stood in front of him, "Are you feeling unwell? You have a bad complexion."

"Really? Probably slept too much? I'm a little tired after being too busy." Fu Kun touched his face, turned around and wanted to go to the mirror.

Fu Yijie grabbed his arm: "Are you busy with business in the store?"

"...Ah? Hmm." Fu Kun smiled, turned around and wanted to leave again.

"Fu Kun," Fu Yijie pulled him back in front of him again, "I grew up in the same bed as you, I know what it's like when you're tired."

"I'm really tired," Fu Kun said helplessly, "There are too many things to do."

"Oh." Fu Yijie let go, and sat on the chair next to him.

Fu Kun opened the cabinet and took his clothes to take a shower. When he walked to the door and was about to open the door to go out, Fu Yijie asked behind him: "When will the store open? Take me to see it tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Fu Kun paused, and the hand that opened the door stopped in the air, "I'll be back for two days, stay at home, I won't go either, I'll stay with you at home."

"I want to see." Fu Yijie sat on the chair and stared at his back.

Fu Kun didn't speak or move.

"Brother," Fu Yijie stood up, "You told me that I would tell you everything, what about you?"

"I'm fine." Fu Kun turned around and leaned against the door, his voice was very low.

"Do you think I'm still a child, so I can't help you with things?" Fu Yijie said.

"It doesn't mean that," Fu Kun raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, "It's just that there was a little Ma in the store..."

"What's the trouble? Is there a funding problem?" Fu Yijie followed closely.

Fu Kun looked at him and fell silent.

"Is there a shortage of money?" Fu Yijie walked up to him.

"En." Fu Kun responded.

"What happened?" Fu Yijie wrapped his arms around his shoulders, hugged him tightly, and rubbed his shoulders twice, "How much is the difference? I can help you make up some."
