Chapter 54: The Last Hope?
Wang Qingshan is handing over the work at hand in the past few days, and he will go to SD Province in another week, Zhou Youping has already gone there to officially take office, although he did not say anything specific about his appointment, but he and Zhou Youping have been together for so long, and he does not think that it will be a wrong choice for him to choose to leave the Great Northwest.
The accidental death of his younger brother Wang Youmu did make Wang Qingshan feel very sad and heartbroken at first, he always had deep self-blame and guilt for a while, he felt that he really shouldn't have driven away so ruthlessly that day, and when he heard the news of Wang Youmu again, he was already separated by heaven and man.
But this kind of heartache and sadness, he didn't last long, as time passed, he sometimes thought that Wang Youmu all this was the cause he had already planted, if Wang Youmu could follow his own advice, don't be so stubborn to admit death, and don't have to be a coal miner, then everything that follows will not happen.
A few days ago, his comrade-in-arms Liu Qishan pulled him to eat together, saying that it was to practice for him, in addition to a few old friends and comrades-in-arms, Liu Qishan also called Liu Yusheng, he and Liu Yusheng chatted very speculatively, there was a feeling of hating each other, and when he went back to lie in bed at night, he was even more worthless for Wang Youmu, thinking about such a wise and tolerant person like Liu Yusheng, why did his younger brother have to get along with others, and in the end he had to become a coal miner, and his life was lost.
In the afternoon, the work of the unit was almost done, Wang Qingshan went home early, and his whole family was going to SD Province, and there were still a lot of things at home that had not been dealt with before leaving.
As soon as he entered the house, Wang Qingshan saw Xu Qiuli sitting on the sofa, his wife Zhu Ling was talking to her, and when she saw Wang Qingshan enter the door, Xu Qiuli stood up and said
"Big brother, you're back. β
"Qiu Li is here, sit down, Haohao?" asked Wang Qingshan as he changed his slippers
His wife Zhu Ling glared at him and said
"Be quiet, the child is sleeping. β
Wang Qingshan then tiptoed into the back room, looking at his nephew sleeping on the bed, the little guy was still so white and heroic, Wang Qingshan looked at the child's face, thinking that it seemed that Xu Qiuli should live well.
In fact, after her brother's accident, Wang Qingshan told Xu Qiuli that he hoped that she would leave the Honggou Mine, take the child back to W City, and find her a job in the education system, but Xu Qiuli refused, on the grounds that she didn't want to leave Wang Youmu alone in the depths of the mountain.
Wang Qingshan actually scoffed at Xu Qiuli's choice, he felt that his brother-in-law was sometimes so similar to his dead brother, they were so dead-eyed, and they were really not the same people who didn't enter the door.
After Wang Qingshan finished reading his nephew, he came to the living room and looked at Xu Qiuli and said
"Qiuli, are you living a good life now? If you have something, you can say that now you are just a few of our relatives. β
Hearing the words of the eldest brother, Xu Qiuli's eyes moistened, and she said in a low voice
"Big brother, Hao Hao and I are very good, thank you. β
After speaking, Xue Qiuli took out a stack of money and a box from the bag beside him and put them on the table, the box Wang Qingshan knew, it was the jade lion, he asked inexplicably
"Qiuli, what do you mean by that?"
"Big brother, this is 700 yuan, you help me return it to Liu for the rest of my life, this is Youmu's wish all along, this jade lion is still you to keep it, you will pass it on to Haohao in the future, you also know that I am a woman in that place, I am afraid of losing it, then I am so sorry for Youmu." β
Wang Qingshan looked at Xu Qiuli and shook his head helplessly
"Qiu Li, why are you so tough, you also know that it is not appropriate for you to stay in that place as a woman, why don't you listen to your eldest brother, now it's too late for you to change your mind, I will go to SD Province in a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you when I want to." β
"Big brother, don't worry, I can take care of myself, I really don't want to leave Youmu too far, if Haohao needs to go to school when he is older in the future, I may consider going back to W City." Xu Qiuli said
"Okay, whatever you want, I'll keep this jade lion for Haohao, and when he grows up in the future, I'll give it to him, and I'll help you give this money to Liu Qishan." Wang Qingshan said
"No, the eldest brother wants to give Liu the rest of his life, not Liu Qishan. Xu Qiuli said
"It's the same for everyone, anyway, it's to pay the money back. Wang Qingshan was a little dissatisfied
"Big brother, don't be angry, this money must be given to Liu for the rest of his life, this is what Youmu said a long time ago. Xu Qiuli said seriously
Wang Qingshan was really a little angry, he said coldly
"If you're like Youmu, you're so dead-eyed, but it's my poor nephew who will suffer in the future. β
Xu Qiuli didn't say a word, she sat there with her head down, her wife Zhu Ling was reluctant, and complained
"Qingshan, you can talk to Qiu Li, Qiu Li came all the way with the child in her arms, why are you talking like that. β
Wang Qingshan also felt that his tone was too harsh, so he said slowly
"Okay, you say give Liu the rest of your life, give Liu the rest of your life, don't leave today, stay here at night. β
"Big brother, I actually have other things to do with you. Xu Qiuli said
Wang Qingshan, who had already stood up and was about to leave, sat down again and said
"Tell me something. β
Xu Qiuli carefully told Wang Qingshan about the rumors she had heard in the past few days, and then went to Shi Lijun to question them, as well as the fact that she met Liu Yusheng in Shi Lijun's office and that her home was inexplicably stolen a few months ago and only a kettle was lost.
Wang Qingshan was still listening carefully at first, but in the end he was already a little absent-minded, and when Xu Qiuli finished speaking, he asked casually
"What do you mean by telling me this now?"
Looking at Wang Qingshan's attitude, Xu Qiuli's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, but she still said with a glimmer of hope
"Big brother, I don't think Youmu's death was an accident, it was killed by Shi Lijun and Liu Yusheng. β
Smack~ Wang Qingshan slapped the table and stood up, and said to Xu Qiuli
"Qiu Li, why are you as brainless as Youmu, why do you say that Shi Lijun and Liu Yusheng are just talking nonsense of a labor prisoner, or because you lost a kettle at home?"
"Big brother, listen to me, Youmu said when he was alive that the kettle belonged to He Tao, and just by that kettle, you can determine that Liu Yusheng threw down Xiao He and ran away by himself. Xu Qiuli replied
Wang Qingshan looked at this brother-in-law who he always thought was scheming and would come to things than his younger brother, and he hated iron and steel
"Qiu Li, you are too naΓ―ve, does a kettle really have that much effect, besides, Shi Lijun and Youmu have no enmity, so why take the risk of hiring a murderer to help Liu Yusheng?"
"But big brother, that's why I thought you should find someone to help me find out, what is the relationship between them, why did you kill Youmu. Xu Qiuli replied
"You people are all self-righteous, let me say that you just have no brains, you have no brains, you still want to pull me along, Qiu Li, do you understand or not, Youmu went to work as a coal miner because he didn't know how to behave in the world, no one is to blame, only himself. Wang Qingshan's tone was cold and authentic
Xu Qiuli suddenly felt that Wang Qingshan in front of her was so unfamiliar, and the eldest brother in her mind was like two people, she lowered her head and did not speak, and after a while, Xu Qiuli said slowly
"Big brother, maybe I'm thinking too much, I apologize to you, but isn't it a bit too much for you to say this, after all, he's no longer there, don't you, the eldest brother, have a little idea of finding the real murderer for your brother's death?"
Wang Qingshan never thought that Xu Qiuli would talk to him like this, seeing that Xu Qiuli's tone was so similar to that of his younger brother Wang Youmu when he was alive, he was also angry all of a sudden, and said loudly
"Qiu Li, if you are so obsessed, leave Haohao behind, I don't want the child to suffer with you, what I say about my brother is my business, I am the eldest brother I can say whatever I want, I don't need you to teach me. β
Hearing this, Xu Qiuli stood up, went into the back room to pick up her son Wang Hao, and ran out of Wang Qingshan's house......
