Siheyuan Shangpeng
Chapter 146 Talking with the Deaf Old Lady
Zhang Heng just looked at the deaf old lady without saying anything, which made the old lady feel uneasy and sweat appeared on her forehead. Zhang Heng suddenly laughed and said to the old lady, "Don't be nervous. Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Heng. I am one of the people that Sister Wen risked her life to save."
The fear in the deaf old lady's eyes suddenly disappeared. Instead, she showed an indescribable look that contained excitement, hatred and other emotions. She said hoarsely, "What do you want from an old lady like me?"
Zhang Heng smiled and said, "Nothing, I just came to see you. Oh, by the way, I have another identity. I am Shang Yun's senior brother, and the godfather of Shang Qi and his children."
When the deaf old lady heard Zhang Heng say this, her eyes changed immediately. There was only one light in her eyes, that of fear. She was afraid. She was the mastermind behind what happened back then, so of course she was afraid.
Zhang Heng looked at the deaf old lady and said with a smile: "I am not here to cause trouble to you today, but to tell you that the person who betrayed Sister Wen has been found. We are going to eat peanuts soon. How about it? Is there anything you want to say?"
The deaf old lady thought about it, tears suddenly flowed from her eyes, and she said: "My poor daughter, you finally..."
"Okay, stop crying wolf here and pretending to be merciful. I know very well how you treated Sister Wen back then. If Sister Wen's death has a lot to do with that traitor, then you can't escape either. Do you really think I don't know that Sister Wen can evacuate safely? If you weren't afraid of implicating your two precious sons and reporting Sister Wen, she would be arrested?" Zhang Heng interrupted the deaf old lady directly, speaking a little louder.
After calming down for a while, Zhang Heng continued, "Of course, your choice at that time can only be said to be to protect your son. Otherwise, do you think we don't know that you gave gifts? Do you think the person you gave can help you get a five-guarantee household? Do you know what the five-guarantee household stands for? It is for rural areas only. Don't you know what it means for a city person like you to be rated as a five-guarantee household? And you dare to kill people, who gave you the face? If those people hadn't tried their best to dissuade you, do you think you could still be alive? I don't want to say more. Today I came to tell you about Sister Wen. You didn't get any help from your two beloved sons, but it was your most despised daughter who gave you a stable old age. Haha... It's really ironic!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out without waiting for the deaf old lady to react. When he reached the door, he turned around and said to the stunned deaf old lady: "Goodbye, no, that's not right, goodbye!" This time Zhang Heng did not look back and walked out directly. Shang Peng looked at the deaf old lady, smiled, and followed her out. Shang Qi had no expression on his face since he entered the room. He also looked at the deaf old lady, turned around and followed her out of the room.
After the three men left, the deaf old lady's expression began to change, sometimes regretful, sometimes fearful, sometimes angry, and finally turned into resentment.
She cursed in a low voice: "This little bastard, how dare you scold me now? That money-loser is a disaster. If it weren't for her, all these people would have died, and my son wouldn't have failed, and I would still be the general's wife..."
Gradually, the deaf old lady's face turned into regret and the words she spoke became "Girl, I was so sorry for you back then. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have become like this. Girl, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
Suddenly, the deaf old lady's face turned into fear, and the words in her mouth turned into "Wen, don't come to me, I am also doing this for your two brothers, don't let that group of people kill me, I still want to live well, please let me go..."
Gradually, the deaf old lady's voice became weaker. After a long time, the deaf old lady sighed, got up tremblingly, poured herself a glass of water, drank it slowly, and then sat on the kang again, not knowing what she was thinking about.
After a long while, the deaf old lady burst into laughter. After she finished laughing, she said, "What a great Zhang Heng! He almost made me depressed. What happened in the past is over. Now I just want to live a good life. It's best if you don't come. I am just a little old lady now. Alas! I am really old and almost depressed."
Then the room fell silent, with only the deaf old lady's breathing echoing in the room.
The Shang brothers who had already walked away didn't know that Zhang Heng's words of venting almost drove the deaf old lady crazy. Fortunately, the deaf old lady was old and shrewd and walked out of the dead end by herself. However, this was none of the Shang brothers' business. In their minds, what the old deaf man was like had nothing to do with them. It was just a matter of whether there would be spice in their lives in the future.
What they really cared about was Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng was not right today. In their hearts, Zhang Heng was a calm and steady person and had never been so incoherent. The two did not say anything but just followed silently behind. After the Shang family brothers walked out of the compound, everyone in the compound came out to observe and found that the two were really gone. The compound seemed to come alive again and began to be noisy as before. Two little girls, He Yushui and Tian Silin, looked at the group of people from behind a window. He Yushui snorted disdainfully and Tian Silin also had a new opinion of the Shang family brothers.
The Shang brothers followed Zhang Heng out of the yard. Zhang Heng got into the car. The Shang brothers wanted to follow him but Zhang Heng waved his hand and said, "You two don't have to follow me. I'll go back and calm down. I'll be fine. The mountain that weighed on my heart is gone. I lost my composure a little. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
Shang Peng was very serious this time and said, "Uncle Master, although we haven't officially acknowledged you as our family, my father has said that we are your godchildren and godsons. We are a family, so there is no question of whether we will laugh at each other or not. Are you really okay?"
Zhang Heng looked at the two of them, sighed, and said to the driver, "You go back first. I'll stay here for a while and ask Xiao Qi to take me back later."
The driver wanted to say something, but still agreed. Zhang Heng got out of the car and led the way towards Shang Qi's courtyard. The Shang brothers followed him into the courtyard. When Shang Peng closed the door, he saw Zhang Heng's car drive away, but two people appeared on both sides of the alley. One of them saw Shang Peng looking at them and nodded, and Shang Peng also nodded to indicate that he understood.
These people were left behind to protect Zhang Heng. Although Sijiu City had just eliminated a group of spies, there were still spies. It was reasonable for these people to stay behind to protect Zhang Heng. There should be more than just these two groups of people, there might be people in the dark, but Shang Peng didn't see them.
Shang Peng didn't stay long before closing the door and returning to the courtyard.
