Chapter 493 The Sneaky Uncle
Shen Chenghua looked like a woman with a high education and a very elegant temperament.
Of course, if you exclude the fragility of this disease, she is actually a beauty.
Just looking at the abnormal lip color of the other party, you can tell that she is actually very sick. She should be sick all year round.
Seeing Xia Zhi's eyes, he was a little surprised and scrutinizing.
"Who are you?"
"Aunt Chengyue, I am Xia Zhi, and my husband is Zhou Zhengan."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Chengyue's face showed a look of surprise. Probably because of her excitement, she immediately covered her mouth and coughed.
This cough was a bit unstoppable, and it was earth-shaking.
The man hurriedly helped Shen Chengyue to the chair, and at the same time ran to bring her a glass of warm water. After drinking a few sips, he finally suppressed the cough.
Xia Zhi didn't expect Shen Chengyue to be so sick. This cough felt like she was about to cough out her lungs.
She said with some worry,
"Aunt, why don't we go to the hospital! You look like this..."
Shen Chengyue smiled and waved her hand,
"It's okay, it's okay, I have an old problem, it's been like this for so many years. It's okay."
The man next to her looked a little worried when he heard this, but he said nothing.
"So you are Zhengan's wife, I forgot, in fact, I held Zhengan when he was a child.
I didn't expect that he has been married in a blink of an eye."
Shen Chengyue obviously remembered the past, and her expression became calm.
"Why did you come alone? Where is Zhengan? Didn't he come with you?"
Shen Chengyue's voice suddenly became a little anxious, and it was obvious that she was eager to see her family.
"Aunt Chengyue Zhengan is very busy at work and really can't spare the time. He is now the captain of the criminal investigation team.
Recently, he is solving a big case."
Xia Zhi opened his mouth and it was obvious that Aunt Chengyue was eager to see her family.
Seeing a stranger like herself was obviously not enough to soothe her homesickness.
To be precise, they are strangers now.
Aunt Cheng Yue sighed after hearing this, but at the same time, she suddenly tensed up.
She raised her eyebrows nervously and stared at Xia Zhi and asked,
"Why did you come here to find me?
The Shen family hasn't seen me for more than ten years, why do you come to me now?
Is there something wrong at home? Is there something wrong with the old man?"
Then Shen Chengyue coughed twice, and then her face turned red, and suddenly her head tilted and she fainted.
The man next to her was obviously very familiar with this situation. He caught her very neatly and carried her to the bed.
He helped her up sideways, let her upper body rest outside the bed, and patted her back gently.
The skills were very good, and soon, Aunt Cheng Yue, who was unconscious just now, opened her eyes and started coughing.
He took the cup from the bedside table, and Cheng Yue drank half a cup of water from the cup with his hand.
The whole person finally recovered.
Then she lay weakly on the bed, and there was no time to ask anything. She could only close her eyes and breathe rapidly.
Xia Zhi looked at Aunt Cheng Yue like this and quickly understood.
Aunt Cheng Yue's body was indeed too weak. It looked even worse than the old man.
Although the old man had internal bleeding in his head, at least he looked very energetic.
But this Aunt Cheng Yue gave people the feeling that she was terminally ill.
"Xiao Xia, are you scared?
It's okay, your aunt has an old illness, and she will be fine in a while. Let her rest for a while.
You can talk about the past later, so I'll take you to sit outside."
The man covered his wife with a quilt and said softly, taking Xia Zhi to the outer room.
When they got outside and closed the curtain and door, the man said softly.
"I'm sorry. I know you are from the Shen family. You must have come to see Cheng Yue.
It was my fault just now. I didn't say hello to you in advance.
Cheng Yue's health is very bad. It's all my fault these years. I can't make money to support the family, and it's too much to pay for her medical treatment.
Her health is getting worse and worse, but she is depressed. It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have kept her at the beginning. If I sent her back to the Shen family, maybe she wouldn't be like this now."
The man who can say this doesn't seem to be a bad person. Although Xia Zhi doesn't have the habit of judging people by appearance.
But I have to admit that this man always makes people feel as if he speaks to your heart when he opens his mouth.
At least it's impossible to have a bad impression of this person, but I don't know why these two people didn't get the approval of the Shen family at the beginning.
But no matter what, her responsibility now is to bring Cheng Yue, who the old man always thinks of.
"Uncle, in fact, you should be able to guess that I came here this time. Something must have happened to the Shen family.
The old man is sick, very sick, and will have surgery soon. It is difficult for any of us to guarantee whether he can get off the operating table this time.
You should know that the old man has a tough personality. Even if he is thinking about his daughter, he will never give in."
After hearing this, the uncle Cheng Yue in front of him turned pale instantly. It can be seen that he has deep admiration and respect for the old man.
"I know. Then you take Cheng Yue back, I will buy you tickets now."
After hesitating for a while, the man spoke, and this hesitation surprised Xia Zhi.
Why did you ask me to take Aunt Chengyue back?
Is it really difficult to ease the relationship between the two families?
"Uncle, I don't know what happened between you.
But you also saw Aunt Chengyue's current physical condition. Are you sure I can take her back alone?
If there is any danger on the road, I don't know her physical condition.
I don't know her illness.
Aren't you worried at all?"
The expression on the middle-aged man's face was a bit hesitant, but he finally sighed.
"I will arrange for you to stay in the guesthouse first, and we will discuss this matter after I buy the ticket."
Xia Zhi saw the man's look, but it seemed more like escaping.
He couldn't help but doubt that he had made a mistake.
This man disliked Aunt Chengyue as a burden, and he wished that he could take her away quickly instead of the Shen family?
But since it has come to this, it is naturally unreasonable for him to continue to stay. This is someone else's home.
He had to follow the man out.
The man sent Xia Zhi to the guesthouse, but it was time to go through the formalities.
The man unconsciously touched his pocket with his hand, hesitated for a while, and finally took out five dollars with his wrinkled pocket.
"Xiao Xia, you stay here first. When your aunt wakes up, I will call you home for dinner."
Xia Zhi nodded and watched the man hurried into the alley.
But Xia Zhi did not go upstairs and return to the room directly.
Instead, he quietly followed him and saw the man knock on a door and walked in directly.
Xia Zhi followed him and hid behind the tree at the gate of the courtyard.
Could it be that this uncle really has some ulterior motives?
After all, he has been raising a sickly child for more than ten years. If he really has some unfaithful intentions outside, it is really hard to say.
