The heart of the pretender is sincere

During the two days when Acheng and Lingxi went to Nanjing, Minglou was quite busy negotiating compensation with the Qin family. The three girls were injured to varying degrees in the previous accident, but luckily none of them left any major problems. , Ling Shu's child was saved, and Chen Xuanyu's leg would not have any sequelae as long as it was taken care of after the operation, but there would inevitably be a scar from the operation on the leg, and Lingxi, the only photo with her parents was burned, and the bracelet When he sent someone to find it, he found that there were black marks left by the fire, several meteorite beads on it were cracked, and the original appearance could not be seen at all, and the hair was cut from waist to ear. It's the scar on my forehead that will never go away.

In the end, the several families negotiated, and the Qin family sent Qin San abroad for the rest of his life, and he was not allowed to return to China. As for the compensation part, the result of the negotiation was to compensate Ling Shu, Chen Xuanyu, and Lingxi with 50, 100, and 150 small yellow croakers respectively, and then compensate the Bai family for an equal amount. priced car.Ling Shu was grateful to Lingxi for saving her child, so he discussed with Minglou to give the 50 together with the little yellow croaker to Lingxi, thinking that she, the future sister-in-law, would add makeup to her.

When Lingxi and Ah Cheng returned to the Ming mansion, the person who sent the compensation from the Qin family had just left.

Ming Jing pointed to the four boxes on the ground, "These are compensations from the Qin family, open them and have a look."

"Compensation?" Lingxi knew that her eldest brother had been discussing the issue of compensation with the Qin family, so she naturally believed in her elder brother and never cared about it. Is this a deal?

She opened one of the boxes suspiciously, and was dazzled by the gold in the box without any preparation. A box full of gold? !Lingxi looked at the elder sister very puzzled, but the elder sister signaled her to continue to open the remaining boxes, but the remaining boxes were the same size as the first box, so they were all gold, right?She hesitated to open the remaining boxes, and sure enough, four boxes of gold appeared neatly in front of her eyes.

"200 gold bars?" Lingxi visually estimated the size and specifications and roughly calculated the quantity, a little unbelievable, "So much lost?"

Ming Lou nodded, "Yes, 200 small yellow croakers, the compensation is not too much, Qin San burned your hair and destroyed your father's relics, and the scar on your forehead will definitely be scarred, the appearance of your daughter's family is priceless , if it wasn't for the fact that we are family friends with the Qin family and would cooperate later, 200 small yellow croakers would not be the price in my heart!"

Lingxi was speechless for a while, and it was not wrong according to what the eldest brother said, "But such a huge sum of money, where should I... put it? Should I dig a hole in the garden and bury it?"

"What is buried, of course it is stored in the bank safe." Ah Cheng was amused by Ling Xi, "Today is a bit late, tomorrow I will accompany you to the bank to open a safe to store the gold."

"Then the Qin family can just transfer the safe of their gold bars to my name. Why do you want to take out so much gold and send it to the Ming Mansion for us to store it back? It shows that his family has a lot of gold. Well?"

"This... it's already here anyway, let's put it in the study tonight, and save it together tomorrow." Minglou felt that what Lingxi said was really reasonable, but the Qin family came to give gold today and brought people on the spot After counting the number, I didn't expect so many. It was indeed ill-considered.

Lingxi felt a little headache looking at the gold in this place. She suddenly realized that having too much money seemed to be a troublesome thing. She had to think about how to spend the money. Now the bank not only does not pay interest but also charges storage fees. It's really not worth it!

In the evening, Ah Cheng walked across the balcony to Lingxi's room as usual, only to see Lingxi writing something seriously at the desk with his back turned to him, and he didn't even notice that he came in.

Ah Cheng came behind her, "What are you writing?"

Lingxi was taken aback and turned to look at him, only to find that he was reading the letter she was writing, and hurriedly opened her hands and lay down on the table to block his sight, "I am writing a letter, you are not allowed to read it!"

In Ah Cheng's perception, Lingxi never concealed anything from him, at most she didn't take the initiative to tell him, but she would still say what he asked, and now there was an extra letter that he couldn't read, which instead aroused Ah Cheng's suspicion. Interested, he squeezed onto Lingxi's chair, wrapped her in his arms, and kissed her on the cheek, "Who to write to? It's so mysterious."

"Brother Ah Cheng, you are so hot, please let go of me." The house in the Ming Mansion has been around for a few years. Although some rooms have been equipped with air-conditioning and heating, the effect of the air-conditioning is mediocre. For example, Nanjing Central Hotel has sufficient air-conditioning. Ah Cheng hugged Lingxi to sleep and had to cover him with a quilt, but it was fine to be alone in the Ming Mansion in June, but it was really incompetent for two people to get together.

Ah Cheng bent his fingers and tapped Lingxi's forehead, "I said, Miss Li, you have to hug me in winter and rub your arms against me. Now that the weather is hot, I'm useless, right? Summer is here and winter is still here." Will it be far away, killing the donkey is not as fast as you!"

"Okay Brother Acheng." Knowing that she was wronged, Lingxi didn't care about him hitting her forehead, not to mention it was quite painful. She put down the pen in her hand, got up and pulled Acheng to the side of the bed, and pressed him to the bedside. After sitting on the bed, he placed a kiss on his forehead, "It's very late, you should lie down and sleep quickly, I still have a few words to write in the letter, just wait for me for 5 minutes and I will come to accompany you."

"Well, hurry up and finish your letter." Ah Cheng sighed and leaned on the bed with a very resentful expression, "Who told me that I can only climb the balcony if my name is not right, and a forehead kiss is enough. After sending me away, I have no place to seek grievances."

Lingxi laughed and shook her head and was too lazy to talk to him. The more you talk to him, the more he will gain more and more. He just sat back on the chair and finished writing the letter and put it in an envelope, and then put the letter on the table according to the time. Arrange them in order and put them in the box, and checked the seal and the key of the safe that will be used tomorrow, and put them into the bag one by one after making sure there is no problem.

Ah Cheng saw Lingxi put the key with the number plate 231 in his bag from a distance, and he pretended to be curious and asked, "231? Is this the key to the safe?"

"That's right, this No. 231 safe was opened by my eldest sister at HSBC Bank and didn't store much. We have 200 gold bars. A safe can't fit it, so I discussed with my eldest sister to deposit half of it into this No. 231 safe." In the closet."

Lingxi also sat on the bed, and she leaned in front of Ah Cheng, begging for praise, "This way I save a storage fee, do you think I'm good at housekeeping?"

If he didn't know what the cabinet 231 is for, seeing Lingxi's smug little appearance, Cheng would almost believe the excuse of saving storage fees, he lowered his head and pecked Lingxi's lips, "Well, sure enough She is a good housekeeper who can manage the house, and I have found a treasure."

"Hey..." Lingxi smiled and took a thin blanket to cover the two of them on their stomachs, then turned off the light, "It's time to sleep."

In the dark, the two lay on their sides facing each other, Ah Cheng was still very curious, "Can you tell me who the letter was written to? Why haven't so many letters been sent?"

"It was a letter to my father. I used to write a letter to my father when I was in a bad mood. Later, I thought that my father had passed away for so many years, so I wrote to my father every year. One letter tells about my life in the previous year and my current life. I just wrote the eighth letter from last year. Now I plan to store these letters in the safe with gold. The safe is basically There are very few opportunities to open it, so let’s say goodbye to the past.”

Ah Cheng was taken aback, "Is it in the cabinet at 231?"

"Of course not. It must be in the newly opened safe. The safe in 231 belongs to the eldest sister. We are just borrowing it. Letters must not be put in!"

Ah Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't put it in 231, it would prove that it had nothing to do with the mission. "Why did you only write to Dad and not to Mom?"

"Because Dad is lazy, every letter of his, whether it is personal or work, must be read to him by his mother, so writing to Dad is writing to Mom." Emails, text messages and WeChat will ask his mother to read to him.

"What about Su Linma, why is this name written on every envelope, who is Su Linma?"

"It's me. Su Linma is a nickname, but it's only rarely used, but this name was chosen with the consent of everyone in the family."

Speaking of the origin of the name, Lingxi wanted to laugh, "My name actually has some twists and turns. When I was just born, three men named my father, grandpa and grandpa each gave me a name, but no one had a name for me. Unable to convince anyone to give up, the most primitive method was adopted in the end, which was to draw lots. My father told me that it took him a lot of tricks to successfully get the name Lingxi, which means that he and his mother have a good understanding, but he thinks that the rhinoceros is a rhinoceros. The word is too difficult, and I am worried that if his daughter is a fool in the future, the name should be changed to the word Xi, so I can’t lose at the starting line of life because of too many strokes in the name.”

Ah Cheng thought of Mingtai. When he was a child, Mingtai also hated his name being difficult to write. He cried to his elder sister many times that he wanted to change his name to Mingyi, but of course he was directly rejected. More calligraphy and strokes!"

Lingxi couldn't explain to Ah Cheng the difference between the simplified Chinese character "Ling" and the traditional Chinese character "Ling", so she randomly made an excuse, "But if you change it again, the meaning of the name will change."

Ah Cheng smiled and touched Lingxi's head. He had no parents since he was a child, even if he was adopted by his elder brother and elder sister. Interesting stories about people, and the eloquence and emotion he told made him feel very substituting.

Lingxi grabbed Ah Cheng's hand, hooked her little finger with his little finger, and continued, "But the name obtained by drawing lots, grandpa and grandpa are still unconvinced, so I just want to give it a nickname. My mother suggested that since both parents’ surnames are Li, it’s not as good as the child’s nickname is Lin Ma. It just so happens that grandma’s surname is Lin, but grandma is not happy. Only her was left out, so I added grandma’s Su surname at the beginning, and became Su Linma.”

"This nickname was taken out, but it is actually very rarely used. Only my grandmother insisted on calling me by this name. My father and mother usually call me Xixi. My father said that he is a person who opposes feudal ethics and feudal thinking, breaks through the shackles and pursues freedom. a manifestation!"

Speaking of this, Lingxi couldn't help giggling.

In the dark, Ah Cheng also followed Yang's mouth. He pinched Lingxi's palm, and the girl's hand in Xia Tian would be softer, and it was very comfortable to squeeze, "Then I will call you Xixi from now on?"

"No, Dad is the most jealous. He only allows his mother to call him this name, not even grandpa. If you call him after him, he will definitely be unhappy."

Although Lingxi's expression could not be seen, Ah Cheng could tell from the voice that she must be pouted at this moment, "Okay then, good night."

***

What Ah Cheng didn't know was that not only he and his eldest brother knew about the locker 231, Wang Manchun also knew about it and sent someone to guard the bank all the time, even when she was suspended, this person didn't remove him, so when he and Lingxi were going to go into the locker 231 When storing things, the watchers notified Wang Manchun.

Wang Manchun fell ill and was hospitalized after being suspended before, and she stayed in the hospital for more than a month, and she was used to seeing the cold and warm world during her stay in the hospital. She had no relatives or friends, and those people who surrounded her in the past Since she fell ill, no one has visited her. Minglou couldn't bear to let Ah Cheng visit her several times and then hired a nurse to take care of her. Besides, Zhu Huiyin, who is 76, would often stew some soup and send it to the hospital.

She admitted that she was careless about that incident at the beginning, Rong Lingshu's background is like a mirror, it is really not suitable to attack her without evidence, and the senior brother's suspension of her post is indeed to save her, so After she was discharged from the hospital, she had been looking for an opportunity to reinstate her post after making meritorious service. Now that there was a change in safe No. 231, this opportunity has just come!
