Chapter Ninety-Six: A Great Beginning
Inside the hut, the air was almost frozen.
Chen Yuan took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions.
He turned his head to his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I was a little heavier just now, because I felt unfair for you in my heart." Our family has always been honest and responsible, and over the years, we have never taken the initiative to provoke anyone. Now, our house has been smashed inexplicably, and the walls have been sprayed with paint, can you tell me what the reason is, if it is inconvenient for you to come forward, I will solve this matter!"
"Yuan'er...... Don't ask. Guo Weilan turned her head away and sobbed in a low voice.
Chen Kexiong looked up at his son, whose eyes were red, and his weather-beaten face was filled with deep sorrow.
With a deep sigh, he walked over to a relatively intact wooden chair and sat down, took out a crumpled cigarette case from his coat pocket, took out a cheek cigarette from it, lit it with a lighter, and fell into a long silence again.
Seeing that his parents were silent, Chen Yuan stood for a while and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, I always have a way to know the truth." Since I was a child, you have told me that the backbone of the husband must be straight, and even if the sky falls, he must push it hard. Now that I'm back, I can't leave this matter alone, I will definitely find out the truth, and you can rest at home. ”
After saying that, he rushed out of the hut and plunged into the dense rain curtain, and after a while, he disappeared outside the courtyard gate.
"Yuan'er ......"
"Chen Yuan......"
Seeing Chen Yuan walking out of the courtyard without looking back, Chen Kexiong and Guo Weilan glanced at each other, both with sad expressions.
Guo Weilan wiped a handful of tears and lamented: "I knew that things would turn out like this, I shouldn't have asked you to find 'that person' in the first place, but now you see, hey......"
Chen Kexiong took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "Don't borrow money from 'that person' and wait to see Chen Yuan drop out?"
"At that time, he was preparing for the college entrance examination, and he knew that there was such a situation at home, could he still prepare for the exam with peace of mind?"
Guo Weilan was silent for a while, and sighed: "The mine has not paid wages for more than half a year, and I don't know when I will be able to pay it back if I owe money to others, so I think I should go back to my mother's house and let them think of a way......
As soon as Chen Kexiong heard the word "mother's family", his face darkened, and his voice said in a deep voice: "The matter of my mother's family, don't mention it again in the future, your brothers and brothers can't wait to see us wagging their tails and begging for mercy, let's decide to bring Chen Yuan up by ourselves, don't expect to get their help, I only hope that Chen Yuan can understand our hard work, and don't blame ......us in the future."
Guo Weilan wanted to say something, hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say the rest.
After a long time, Yu Yu said: "Then what should Chen Yuan do, just let him run out?"
"No, it won't. Chen Kexiong snuffed out the cigarette butt, squeezed out a smile, and said: "My son has grown up, and he is still the 'top student in the college entrance examination', and he is more measured than us in handling things." ”
"Besides, when such a big thing happened at home, he couldn't accept it for a while, and it was normal, and when he eased up for a while, he estimated that he would come back. Let's clean up the house and stop blocking our son. ”
"Hey...... That's all there is to it. Guo Weilan sighed lightly and raised her eyes to look at the rain curtain falling from the eaves, "I hope he won't cause any trouble." ”
......
When Chen Yuan walked out of the courtyard, the rain had already lightened.
His face was gloomy, and he stepped on the dirt road unique to the countryside.
Anyone who knows Chen Yuan knows that he is a person who is good at forbearance and rarely gets angry.
Even in the face of a despicable and arrogant character like Yun Qingyan, he can control his temper very well, and his joy and anger are invisible.
At this moment, Chen Yuan is at the critical point of emotional outburst.
He was really angry.
No matter how much you don't lose your temper, you also have your own bottom line.
Chen Yuan's bottom line is his family.
He never imagined that his honest parents would do such a thing.
Not to mention whether the parents owe debts, even if they are really in debt, the other party should not break into their homes like robbers and smash them.
This is no longer a simple "bullying", it is simply a few feet in the face of the Chen family.
In the past, he couldn't practice martial arts, and he couldn't share more pressure for his parents.
Now that he has a certain amount of strength, he naturally won't let this kind of thing happen under his nose.
"In any case, we must find out the truth of this matter. ”
Chen Yuan stepped on the dirt and strode forward.
After a while, I came to the courtyard of a neighbor's house.
The owner of the yard is called Zhao Yougen, and he has been neighbors with Chen Yuan's family for more than ten years.
Doing a meat product business in the slum made a little money, so the courtyard of the Zhao family was much more generous than that of the Chen Yuan family.
Chen Yuan knocked on the iron door for a long time, and a rough man's voice finally came from the courtyard, "Who." ”
"It's me, Chen Yuan. Chen Yuanqiang calmed down, trying to make his voice sound calmer.
"Chen Yuan?" the people in the courtyard hesitated for a moment, and then opened the iron gate with a "Karma".
A middle-aged man with a meaty face and a bare chest and abdomen walked out, his small eyes lit up, and he grinned and said, "Haha! Xiao Yuanzi, it's really you." ”
"Uncle Zhao. Chen Yuan greeted politely.
Zhao Yougen glanced at Chen Yuan up and down, and said with emotion: "You kid, you haven't been home for several years, come in and sit down, I'll let your aunt make you your favorite soy sauce hoof!"
"No, Uncle Zhao," Chen Yuanwan declined Uncle Zhao's kind invitation, and said lightly: "The reason why I came here is to ask you about something. ”
Zhao Yougen frowned and asked, "What's the matter, let's hear about it?"
Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "That's the case, today my parents and I just came back from the city, but I didn't expect to find my yard as soon as I got home......"
As soon as he said this, Zhao Yougen's face changed suddenly, and he interrupted directly: "Courtyard...... Yard, what yard, I don't know anything, you ...... You'd better ask someone. ”
After speaking, he hurriedly closed the iron door.
Chen Yuan stretched out his hand against the edge of the iron gate and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Zhao, I haven't finished asking yet." ”
"No need to ask, I'...... I don't know anything!"
Zhao Yougen used all his strength to push the iron gate outward.
But his strength is really far from the current Chen Yuan.
After struggling to eat, the iron gate still did not move, so he had to give up "resistance", and said with a sad face: "Xiao Yuanzi, don't force me anymore, I really can't say it, I said that my whole family has to be finished, for Uncle Zhao's sake, don't embarrass me?"
"Can't you say?" Chen Yuan strengthened his hand, and suddenly pressed five deep finger prints on the iron door.
Zhao Yougen's expression became even more bitter, and he said miserably: "You...... Even if you break me down, I won't be able to tell you...... Otherwise, if you ask the 'old Zhang Tou' at the end of the street, he knows better than me what happened in your house. ”
"Uncle Zhang?" Chen Yuan frowned slightly, and said, "You don't tell me, can he tell me?"
"Definitely," Zhao Yougen said, "He is the street administrator here, and he is half an official family, so he doesn't need to avoid suspicion like us ordinary people." ”
Chen Yuan looked at Zhao
There is a root glance, secretly thinking.
As soon as the other party heard that his house was smashed, he was immediately frightened half to death, presumably the perpetrator had some background.
It's also a good idea to ask the street manager for clarification.
As soon as he thought of this, he said lightly: "Okay, I'll go to him now and say hello to my aunt on my behalf." ”
As soon as the words fell, he immediately turned around and left, without any delay.
Zhao Yougen was already in a cold sweat.
He looked at Chen Yuanxiaosuo's back, then at the five clear finger prints on his iron door, and muttered: "Xiao Yuanzi, those people are not easy to mess with, don't blame the uncle......"
......
After Chen Yuan left Zhao Yougen's house, he walked straight to Zhang Deshun's house at the end of the street.
Uncle Zhao has a good saying, the safest way to find out what is going on in the village is to find the street manager to understand the situation.
In each street of the slum, a "street office" is set up, and the "street manager" is voted by the residents of the slum to be responsible for the daily management and security of the street.
Uncle Zhang has been the street administrator of Chen Yuan's neighborhood for more than 20 years.
has always been meticulous and meticulous, to find out the causes and consequences of his own house being smashed, Uncle Zhang's house is indeed a good place to go.
Uncle Zhang's family lives in a low-rise bungalow at the end of the street.
Chen Yuan walked across the street, came to the front of the bungalow, and knocked on the door, "Is Uncle Zhang at home?"
Soon, the door opened, and out came a tall and thin man in his eighties, with snow-white hair and a wrinkled face.
After seeing Chen Yuan, the old man was startled at first, and seemed to be surprised.
Then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled reluctantly: "Xiao Yuanzi is back...... You haven't been here for a long time, how about studying in the city, are you tired?"
"It's okay, not tired. Chen Yuan smiled slightly.
Because he had seen Zhao Yougen's bizarre reaction before, this time, he decided to adopt a "roundabout tactic", knocked on the side, slowly cut to the topic, and asked carefully: "Uncle Zhang, how is your health?"
"I'm so-so, I can't die. Uncle Zhang waved his hand and said with a smile: "What about you, how about studying in the city, are you tired?"
“......”
Chen Yuan coughed lightly and said, "I'm not tired, that ......"
"How is it about studying in the city, are you tired?" Mr. Zhang repeated.
"I'll go, uncle, are you a repeater?" Chen Yuan couldn't cry or laugh.
Thinking of Uncle Zhang's advanced age and living alone for a long time, his brain is inevitably a little difficult.
Adjust your mentality and say straightforwardly: "Uncle Zhang, let me say one last time, I'm not tired, and besides, my yard was smashed, do you know who did it?"
"What yard?" Uncle Zhang seemed to wake up all of a sudden, rolled his eyes upward, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've never heard of it." ”
"You are the street administrator of this street, and you have to make routine rounds of the neighborhood every day, and my yard has been smashed to pieces, how could you not know?" Chen Yuan was a little anxious.
"I don't know, I really don't know," Uncle Zhang's head shook like a rattle, and after a while, he said, "That, you read ...... in the city."
"I'm not tired, bye-bye......" Chen Yuan closed the door for Uncle Zhang, turned around and left.
He understood it thoroughly, Uncle Zhang's brain was not wrong at all, and the other party was pretending to be stupid with him from the beginning, in order to avoid asking about the smashing of his home.
"What's going on with these people, they don't even dare to say a name, is it true that the people who smashed my family really have a big background?" Chen Yuan walked on the road, thinking to himself.
