I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 438: The sad past

The story between Brother Qiang and He Mei dates back a long time.

Going back in time, Brother Qiang and He Mei knew each other.

Before He Mei got married to Wang Chao, she came out of the village to work for a while. It was at that time that she met Brother Qiang.

Although Brother Qiang was also cooking at the construction site at that time, the construction site was not in such a remote place.

So when he has nothing to do, Brother Qiang will go to the local town for a stroll and buy some necessities.

Most of the people on the construction site are not very rich, so they can't go out to eat every day. There are still many people who eat at Brother Qiang's place.

One time, Brother Qiang was too lazy to eat the meal he cooked, so he strolled out in the evening, found a late-night snack stall that was still open, sat there, ordered a few skewers of barbecue, and ordered a beer.

At that time, there were not many people doing dry barbecue at night, just a few.

Brother Qiang is close to the construction site.

As soon as I got the wine, I heard sounds of beating and scolding coming from next door.

So he turned around and saw He Mei being dragged out of the house by the owner of the shop next door, hitting her arm.

Next door is a shop that makes incense. After the incense in the shop is made, it will be transported to the nearest temple.

Because the demand is so high, we hired a few helpers next door.

Sometimes, I always have to work until very late.

He Mei was young at that time and was not afraid of hard work or fatigue, so she was hired by the boss.

But she had never learned how to do it before, so she was clumsy when making incense.

That night she accidentally knocked over a colleague's pile of incense, which completely angered her boss, who grabbed her arm and told her to get out of there.

The girl had never seen such a scene before and just kept apologizing to the boss.

But the boss was still angry and didn't want to keep her working there, so he paid her and let her go.

He Mei's pleading was in vain, as she was seen by Brother Qiang who came to eat barbecue.

Brother Qiang was much younger than he is now, full of hot-bloodedness. He couldn't bear to see a young girl being bullied by the store owner, so he went up to argue with him.

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't bully a little girl. If you want to talk nicely, why are you using your hands?"

After Brother Qiang came over and shouted, the shop owner let He Mei go, but his face still didn't look very good.

He just told Brother Qiang that he was not hiring anymore and asked He Mei to take the money and leave.

It was already late at night and a little girl was kicked out, where could she go?

Brother Qiang asked He Mei to have a midnight snack with him first, and then go to the construction site with him and find a place for her to stay for the night.

He Mei was also simple-minded, so she agreed after hearing what Brother Qiang said.

Fortunately, Brother Qiang is a good person, otherwise, this little girl would have suffered a lot.

So that night, He Mei followed Brother Qiang to his construction site.

Originally, I was thinking of making a bed for He Mei on the floor in the dining room, but then I considered that there were many men on the construction site, and what if one of them had dirty hands and feet.

In the end, Brother Qiang slept in the dining room and let He Mei spend the night in his bed.

After waking up the next day, Brother Qiang asked He Mei to finish her breakfast, then sent her to the station and told her to go home quickly.

At that time, He Mei was very grateful to Brother Qiang. If she hadn't met such a kind-hearted person, she wouldn't know what to do.

When they met again later, He Mei came to the construction site with Wang Chao and Yaya.

Although I haven't seen you for many years, there was only a small chance like that back then.

But Brother Qiang recognized He Mei as the person from that year at a glance, and He Mei also recognized Brother Qiang.

Taking advantage of his free time, Brother Qiang specifically asked He Mei if she was the one from before, and He Mei admitted it.

She said that thanks to Brother Qiang's help, she was able to return safely.

Now she is married and has children. I wonder how Brother Qiang is doing now.

This is all we can see about how Brother Qiang is doing.

Although Wang Chao squeezed in and took over the cooking job, at least the construction site would not abandon him so easily.

But he was actually feeling uncomfortable.

After thinking for a long time, Brother Qiang found He Mei and asked her if he could let Wang Chao take her away and return the job to him.

He Mei knew that Wang Chao was unhappy, so she refused.

But Brother Qiang couldn't help but keep talking, and what's more, Brother Qiang also promised to give her enough money so that they could go out and find a better job for themselves.

The money was given to He Mei, but there was no movement for several days.

Brother Qiang felt that he might have been cheated, so he looked for He Mei again.

He Mei said that the money was not enough and Wang Chao refused to give her any.

Upon hearing this, Brother Qiang patted his thigh and reluctantly took out some more for He Mei.

I thought, considering how much money he had, I should give him some face.

But after this incident, before Wang Chao and his family could leave, he was met with Wang Chao's sarcasm and ridicule.

"You are a simple-minded person. You give money to women and you don't know what they are thinking."

"I can tell you that once the money goes into my pocket, I will never spit it out."

"As for this job, I got it by my own ability, so don't try to drive me away."

"I have someone to back me up, don't make me angry or I'll make you pack up and leave."

From that day on, the relationship between Brother Qiang and Wang Chao became worse, and he also began to resent He Mei.

That's why he set up his own kitchen in his own small dormitory. If any co-workers he knew came to him, he would charge them a little money and help them.

Originally, Brother Qiang just buried this resentment in his heart and had no intention of expressing it.

Until that day, he ran into Wang Chao and Zhao Zhifa arguing and eavesdropped.

Two days later, Zhao Zhifa packed up his bedding and prepared to leave the construction site, and Brother Qiang became alert.

It was actually very simple to notice that Zhao Zhifa had not left the construction site.

During the time when Song Jiangwen was there, the portions of food he served were much larger than before. If you think about it, Brother Qiang will understand.

However, he did not guess that Zhao Zhifa and Song Jiangwen were actually half brothers.

Later, he joined forces with Song Jiangwen, knowing that Song Jiangwen also disliked Wang Chao.

He was sure that Song Jiangwen would not do it himself and would definitely frame someone else, but this had nothing to do with him.

As long as he can achieve what he wants, he will do whatever it takes.

After Wang Chao's death, Brother Qiang did feel a sense of joy in his heart.

But this joy did not last long. Looking at He Xing busying around in the kitchen, He Mei held Yaya in her arms and coaxed her.

The more he looked, the more obvious the scarlet in his eyes became.

Even if Wang Chao died, the things that belonged to him still did not return to him.

Moreover, he happened to see He Mei's cheerful smile and inadvertently realized that He Mei was actually dissatisfied with Wang Chao.

The only people she cared about were Yaya and her younger brother who came to the construction site.

So when he got up at night and saw the reflections of He Mei and Yaya in the glass, he clenched his fists.

Song Jiangwen happened to be here at that time, and he didn't look like he was doing anything good.

The two looked at each other and started fighting.
