My sister was in prison, my mother fainted, and a large group of relatives watched with their own eyes. Whether it is out of the situation or out of the call of his heart, Lao Lin feels that he is duty-bound, and he must immediately go to the scene of the incident now, shoulder filial piety and righteousness, and deal with this family crisis that I can't tell why he suddenly closed his eyes and opened them, and inexplicably developed into this family crisis of life and death.

Yes, family. The Lin family.

He, Lin Guorong, Lin Wenzhong Gongjin gave the crown prince Taifu Zexu the eighth generation of Dongou side branch Tianji Lane Lin Changsong's eldest son and grandson, and was pulled by a distant relative who was close to him to worship his ancestors when he was on a business trip not long ago. Fortunately, Lao Lin hasn't read any books, otherwise he might have to read a sentence or two of Qu Yuan's masterpieces in his heart, they are all descendants of Master Xu, how can he not save his sister when he sees death?

Lao Lin hung up the phone and hurriedly took his clothes and put them on his body.

Lin Miao looked at it and asked Lao Lin, "Dad, are you going to your uncle's house now, or are you going to the Public Security Bureau to get people?"

Lao Lin lowered his head, put on his socks and said anxiously: "Let's go see your concubine first, if you're fine, go find Lao Xu." Your aunt was obviously deceived by someone, and the Public Security Bureau can't arrest people indiscriminate......ly! It's just a mess!"

"Dad, I advise you not to go to Lao Xu. Lin Miao took a bite of the peach, "My aunt defrauded the loan of 3 million, and now the media in the provincial department and Dongou City all know about it, maybe they are planning to hold a commendation conference." If you run over to make trouble now, not only will people ignore you, but you will lose your official position, do you want our family to be better?"

"You don't understand the child, don't worry about this kind of thing, Dad knows it!" Lao Lin was very irritable, stood up and put on his pants, and as soon as the belt was fastened, he was in a hurry to go out.

Lin Miao saw that Lao Lin had been infected by Lin Guoling, and she was so stupid that she didn't even care about her personal interests, so she hurriedly put half a peach in her hand into Xiaoxiao's hand and shouted, "Then I'll go with you!"

Jiang Ping hurriedly shouted: "It's so late, don't you eat?"

"I'm still a fart now!I don't have any brains at all, and I don't understand the reason for your son!" Old Lin Hu scolded Jiang Ping with a face.

Jiang Ping was scolded for no reason, and she was already angry with Lin Guoling, so she immediately lost control of her emotions and scolded back: "Your sister was arrested by the police, and her own husband hasn't said anything yet, so she needs you to be so desperate to live and worry about her? You are so concerned about those people in your family, why are you still married to me? Go to the past with those in your own family! Anyway, you have a lot of ability! Just take care of the family for them! You don't have to give me the money in your pocket in the future, take it all for them! Give it to them! In the future, you will support your whole family, and I will support myself and my sons and daughters!"

Lao Lin was poked into the hidden sore spot by Jiang Ping's words, and suddenly became extremely angry, his eyes were full of anger, pointing at Jiang Ping and gritting his teeth: "Lao Tzu doesn't tell you now, and you can't understand what I told you! You old lady, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will divorce you!"

Jiang Ping shouted back directly: "Hugh! Divorce! Leave today!"

Lao Lin roared at the top of his voice: "Lao Tzu is done, I will leave you when I come back!"

As he spoke, he walked out of the bedroom and ran out of the house.

Lin Miao turned her head to look at Jiang Ping, Jiang Ping's face was ugly, and she shouted at Lao Lin again: "Dad!

Lao Lin, who was already bending over to put on his shoes, looked at Lin Miao.

Lin Miao frowned slightly and said, "You just woke up with oil on your face, and it doesn't look good when you go out, wash your face first and then go out." ”

Lao Lin thought about it, took off his shoes, didn't look at Jiang Ping, and silently walked into the bathroom. Lin Miao turned her head to Jiang Ping and said, "Mom, you and Xiaoxiao will eat first, and Dad and I will come back later." Xiaoxiao, if you can't eat the peaches, you can throw them away, so you don't have to hold them up. ”

Xiaoxiao sighed, handed over the uneaten peach in her hand to Jiang Ping, took the remaining half of Lin Miao's nibbling and took a small bite.

After a while, Lao Lin came out of the bathroom, and seemed to be in a slightly better mood.

Lin Miao was silent and followed him downstairs.

He actually understood what Lao Lin was thinking.

In the final analysis, it is still the concept of filial piety that has been tied to him for a long time and has been castrated. Obviously, he himself knows in his heart that certain behaviors are harmful to himself, but because of this moral concept and the idea of "big family" instilled by the old lady since he was a child, he will feel that self-sacrifice for the big family is his life obligation.

It is precisely because of this that Lao Lin will not deal with the old lady on the one hand, and always try to meet her requirements as much as possible.

It's just that the Buddha cut the meat to feed the eagle, that is, people have both the ability and the purpose, and if they cut it, they will cut it, and there is no loss in essence; but Lao Lin beat the small meat to feed the whole family, and he was unwilling to do it, and his ability was obviously not up to standard, but even so, he still endured the pain of cutting, and after so many years of cutting, it can be said that the spirit has already been twisted and entangled hopelessly, maybe now even he can't tell the difference, what is right and what is wrong. Everything that was done for the big family he used to be was not so much a moral choice as a moral inertia. Even not long ago, the faces of the whole family had been put on the table for him to see.

It can be seen that moral inertia is really not easy to stop with one kick......

Lin Miao followed Lao Lin downstairs, and the luggage in the car had not yet been taken out. Lao Lin didn't care, he directly let Lao Lin sit in the passenger seat, turned around in a panic and drove out, it was dark and anxious, and he pressed a lot of flowers and plants in the green belt on the side.

Lin Miao thought about it and felt that the problem of morality still had to be resolved from the perspective of interests.

Relying on personal interests to take the unrepentant Lao Lin, he can only coax the collective interests, when the car drove out of the Mingyue Community access control, he suddenly said: "Dad, have you heard the story of Zigong's ransom?"

Lao Lin simply said: "No." ”

Lin Miao said to herself: "Confucius had an apprentice named Zigong, and one day when he was traveling abroad, he saw a fellow villager abducted by human traffickers, so he rescued that fellow villager. After returning home, their local public security bureau gave him a large bonus, but Zigong, a man with good moral character, returned the money. The next day, Zigong returned to Confucius, and felt that he had done a good job, so he told Confucius about it. And guess what Confucius said?"

Lao Lin said irritably: "What did you say?"

"Confucius said, are you stupid? You have made yourself so noble and pushed away such a large amount of bonus, so if others do the same thing in the future, in order not to make people laugh, will they also learn from you and refuse that bonus?

Why should the Public Security Bureau give you a bonus? That is to let other people see that it is beneficial to act courageously and to help others! If you take this bonus, others will see it as beneficial, and in the future more and more people will learn from you for your righteous and courageous deeds, and more and more people will be rescued after being abducted and trafficked, and it will become more and more difficult for human traffickers to do business, so that the atmosphere of the whole society will gradually improve.

But what about now? You've got enough of your own style, but what will those people who originally wanted to learn from you think now? Oh, you have traveled thousands of miles to bring someone back, and you have to pay for the money to ransom people back? Do you have to pay for food and lodging on the road? And then I brought people back, and I wanted others to praise me for saying that you are really amazing, and you have the use of fart? If this goes on like this for a long time, who will still do things that are righteous and courageous? Can the social atmosphere still be good?"

Lao Lin was confused and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Lin Miao said lightly: "You have been working hard all your life, you can't save yourself, you still have to think about your aunt, and you think about your uncle, in addition to changing someone else's filial piety and good job, is there any other use for fart?"

Lao Lin turned his head and slowed down the car.

Lin Miaoyou continued: "Confucius talked about morality, Chinese have talked about morality for thousands of years, you also talk about morality, I also talk about morality, it is indeed right to talk about morality, but you must speak correctly and intelligently." On the way, when you meet someone with a gun to your head, is it useful for you to talk to him about morality? It's useless, should I kill you or kill you?

So what should be the correct way to say it?

You should tell him first, buddy, I have money, you must not shoot, everything is easy to discuss. You slowly negotiate the conditions with him, and the conversation with him is almost the same, you hold a bank card, he holds a gun, and there are police officers around you, and then you tell him, brother, you use a gun to point at someone, first of all, the behavior is incorrect, life is still so long, there are still so many opportunities in the future, why do you need to be impulsive, for a little outside the body, take the lives of two people? You think about your parents, think about your wife and children, is it worth it? Those who care about you and love you, won't they feel bad when they see you like this? If something happens today, how can you let your relatives calmly face the world? Dad, if you are the robber at this time, what will you think when you hear me tell you this?"

Lao Lin pondered for a moment, and after all, he replied with a lot of kindness in his heart: "I should put down the gun." ”

Lin Miao asked, "Then did I save my life by talking to you about morality?"

Lao Lin thought for a moment and asked rhetorically: "It's not about morality, what is it about?"

"Of course, it's about profits. Lin Miao broke the words apart and explained carefully, "At the beginning, I will talk to you about the conditions to let you put down the gun, and then I won't talk about this." Later, I will persuade you from your family and ask you how your family will face the world in the future after you shoot, isn't this just profit?

Dad, being a man, speaking of conscience and morality, yes, this is a good thing. But if you only talk about morality and don't talk about benefits, you can't live as a human being. When you were a chengguan, those hawkers talked to you about morality and conscience, would you let them go? Of course you wouldn't let them go? Why didn't you let them go? How did you do your work if you let them go? How could you earn money if you didn't do your job well, and how could you support your family if you couldn't earn money?

On the other hand, now, do you think it's right to honor your sister, help your brother, and help your sister, yes, I think it's right, but then what? You did your best, took out everything you could take at home, ran away from all the relationships you could run, sold all the face you could sell, and fell out with my mother, and finally even if you were asked to reduce your aunt's sentence by half, you look back, what else is left in our family? My mother ran away, your social connections are used up, no one will give you money in the future, you will live on a dead salary of thousands of yuan every month, I will be found fault in the future because of the reason you saved my aunt this time, and then we pay so much, just to meet your requirements for your own family morality?

In order to support your family, you can ignore the hawker and talk to you about morality, and in turn, in order to talk about morality with your aunt, aunt and uncle, you don't even want a home. Dad, can you tell me what the truth is, and do you think it makes sense to talk about morality like that?"

The car drove to the intersection of Xicheng Street and stopped at the same place where Lao Lin cried last time.

Lao Lin seemed to be moved by Lin Miao's words, and as if he was blind, his eyes were entangled and looked at Lin Miao blankly.

I was taught a lot by my son, and I got used to it......

I even wanted to hear my son continue.

Fortunately, Lin Miao really didn't finish speaking, and really continued: "Confucius was a person two thousand years ago, and people for two thousand years understood that when talking about morality, we must first talk about benefits, and if there is no benefit, just talk about morality, that is a lack of morality, referred to as lack of morality."

You get married, you are covered in old clothes, only the shoes are new, the uncle stretches out his hand to ask you for it, you give it without saying a word, you think you are talking about morality, in fact, you are very immoral in doing this. When you give away a pair of shoes for free, first of all, you are sorry for yourself, because you have really lost something. Second, you are sorry for my mother, you bought the shoes for marriage, and you gave them away if you didn't wear them, that is, from the beginning, you didn't pay attention to this marriage. Third, you're sorry for my uncle, you made him develop bad habits even further. Fourth, you're sorry for the girl, you taught her son badly. Fifth, you're sorry for my grandma, because you're sorry for her daughter. Do you say that you lack virtue or not?

What about my uncle? He is almost as lacking in virtue as you. He has the face to ask you for those shoes, which is a lack of virtue in thought, and he really took it, that is, a lack of virtue in behavior, from the soul to the body, from the inside out, a comprehensive lack of virtue. But people are a little good, he exchanged morality for benefits, so what did you get?

If you look back and see, what have you done in your life for your aunt, your aunt, and your uncle that are only good for them, but not good for you at all? Do you think that you have done a moral thing and should be praised by your family, but in fact, the fact is that you have taken the whole family and embarked on the road of lack of virtue with you. How many immoral things have you done in your life? You can't count them, can you? But believe it or not, all the immoral things you have done in the past will not be more immoral than what you are going to do next?"

Lao Lin was silent.

Lin Miao continued: "Dad, our family is not the same as before, it is not the same as before. If Mom divorces you, I'll definitely leave with Mom. My mom isn't smart, but she's wise. She at least knows who the real family members are, and which ones are fighting the autumn breeze under the banner of the family. My uncle couldn't find a job, and she asked you to introduce your uncle to the army, but if you didn't help her run, she wouldn't blame you. Because she knows that you are more important to her than her uncle, not to you, aunt, and uncle to you, and more important to you than my mother to you. My mother left you, it's not that I don't have anything to eat, my mother still has me.

But if you leave my mother, you will have no relatives in this world.

Do you think you can live with your aunt and uncle in the second half of your life, or can you live with my aunt and uncle? Of course, you can also feel that you don't have to worry about finding a wife now, and you can afford to find a bunch to raise outside, but you believe me, as long as you get married, other women can't help but pack and carry your aunt, aunt and uncle together when you are fine. People have a better temper, and those who are a little cultivated will ask you, how many families do you have?

You say that you are so wishful thinking to pay for such a big family, but what about other people's families? You pay, do they pay? What did my aunt do to our family, and you are so simple as if nothing had happened? When our family was hurt by my aunt and had no food, you asked my uncle to borrow money, and he smiled and turned his pocket over, saying that he only had 30 yuan, or you 15 yuan, and he 15 yuan, is that what people say? Something happened to our family, and we couldn't afford to eat anymore, so as soon as we packed our luggage, we went back to the countryside by ourselves, and ate one less bite of our house, so we shouldn't cause you trouble, and I turned around and sent money to my aunt, does your filial piety have any return?"

Lao Lin was pierced by Lin Miao's words, and his eyes turned red.

Lin Miao had already practiced hard-heartedly, and immediately said: "Dad, don't be in a hurry to be sad first, this little is a fart?" Listen to me finish the last few words." ”

Lao Lin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "You say." ”

"I said, I'm not asking you not to be filial, there's nothing wrong with being filial. It's not that you don't want to help your brothers and sisters, and it's not wrong to help your brothers and sisters. But when we talk about filial piety, affection, and morality, we can't talk about it in such a stupid way. Zigong ransomed the Lu people to the princes, and let them come, but did not take their gold. Confucius said: Give and lose. From now on, the Lu people do not redeem people. If you take the money, you will not be harmed, and if you don't take the money, you will not redeem the person. Dad, don't talk about benefits, just talk about dedication, hurt others and yourself!"

Lao Lin only understood the three words "Confucius said" when he memorized this passage to Lin Miao......

Lin Miao immediately continued to pierce her heart: "If you are alone, if you want to harm yourself, if you hurt yourself, I won't bother to care about you, really, I am tired to death after saying so many words." But you're not now! Do you understand the truth that when you are married to my mother, you have already separated from your mother? Which is your home? We are now a family of four, and this is your home! My mother, Xiaoxiao, and I are your family! You have to feel in your heart that Xiaoxiao is adopted, not as important as your uncle or aunt, then I understand you, but I am always your own child, right? My mother and you have always been a legal husband and wife for almost ten years, right?

So who is my aunt's dearest? Do you think it's you? If you have a chance, you can ask your aunt, if I fall into the river with Brother Akai, one of them will drown, and which one she will save first? If she wants to say save me first, then she is lying without blinking. You can also ask my uncle at night, Ah Bing and Xian Xian fell into the river, one of them will definitely drown, which one will he go to rescue.

I promise he'll follow you! Because he's not stupid, he also knows that he wants to talk about filial piety! But what will he actually do? What does he mean? Hehe

Why did my aunt ask our family to borrow money, and when she lost the money, she took my uncle and Brother Akai away overnight, instead of calling Shang Xian, our whole family, and my uncle's whole family to go together? Why? Dad? You tell me why?"

Lao Lin was forced speechless by Lin Miao.

Lin Miao looked at Lao Lin and said, "It's very simple, because the family has already separated." It's not a family, she doesn't have to be responsible for your life or death? She only needs to be responsible for her own small family, so she and you, only talk about love, not benefits. So she talks to the people in her own family about both love and benefits. It's the same with uncle. You are the only one, and you talk to them about love, and give them benefits, and you yourself take the initiative to send benefits under the banner of love. What's the picture?

The benefits of our family are given to others for no reason, in exchange for a good word, sometimes not even a good sound. Our whole family can't figure it out because you alone, and my mother and I will suffer with you, and we will eat for so many years. Zigong was the same, he pushed the reward given to him by the imperial court, and the whole country suffered with him, and he still felt good about himself. Dad, I can't stand this kind of method, Master Kong can't stand it!

Then who in the world do you say better than Confucius to understand benevolence, righteousness and morality? Do you know that the negative impact on our family caused by your current method is worse than what Zigong did to Lu Guo? If Zigong does this, there will be other sober-minded people who will remedy it, and if you want to do this, do you expect my mother to help you fill the loopholes, or will I wipe your ass? I repeat again today, I have just turned eight years old! If something happens to our family, I can't save you!

Confucius said: If you take their money, they will not be harmed, and if you don't take their money, you will not redeem people! Your son said: If you don't carry other people's family on yourself, they won't die! If you have to carry everyone else's money on yourself, then our family will die a collective death sooner or later!"

Lao Lin was silent for a moment and leaned back on the back of the car.

Recently, there have been a lot of symposiums, and others have been pretending to be literary and artistic youths, looking at the roof of the car and sighing: "According to what you say, what benefits can they get now? Our family is not short of their little things, but people can't help but save them, right?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't save it. Lin Miao smiled, "I did something at noon today. When I went to Keqin's restaurant with my uncle for dinner, I told Keqin that our family would invest 200,000 yuan in him next, so that my uncle would be a small boss in his shop, and it would not be a problem for him to be a chef by the way. Does this count as salvation?"

Lao Lin Meng turned his head, stared at Lin Miao for a long time, and nodded: "This matter...... It's very well done. ”

"Then you have to pay for it quickly. Lin Miao said, "So you see, this is called helping people, people have a good life, we invest in some shares, if we lose money, we fail to invest, and if we make it, it is a ready-made benefit." ”

"What about your aunt?" Lao Lin still didn't give up, but finally told the truth, "If this matter is not handled well, you will be in the countryside, and you will not be able to raise your head in the future." ”

Seeing that Lao Lin finally had a clear mind, Lin Miao said lightly: "This is also simple, morality, it is just a face, if we really can't talk about the benefits, the etiquette is exhausted, and others will have nothing to say, there is no need to make a fuss." In the final analysis, the first is to block other people's mouths, and the second is to keep your own bottom line. Our bottom line is not to trade at a loss. Confucius said: Taking its gold does not harm the line. Your son said: Do what you can, you can't save people, no one will blame you, as long as you shout slogans loudly and perform hard. ”

Lao Lin was puzzled: "Performance?"

Lin Miao nodded: "Well, acting, you can perform like this with the whole world in the future." ”

……

Ten minutes later, Lao Lin and Lin Miao hurriedly came to Lin Guohua's house.

Faced with a room full of relatives in the countryside, Lao Lin didn't say a word, first called the hospital with an emergency call, and asked the hospital to drive over immediately, and pick up the old lady who was actually awake but pretended to be dying, the best hospital in the city.

Immediately continued to call the Municipal Law Office, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Municipal Economic Investigation Corps, the Oucheng District Political and Legal Office, the Oucheng District Public Security Bureau, the Oucheng District Justice Bureau, and Secretary Luo Wanzhou in front of a room full of people*****, and successively dialed the phone numbers of all the bigwigs he knew, except for Wang Jianxin, who couldn't be called casually, and the whole process was hands-free. These bigwigs are naturally measured people, they received a call from Lao Lin, and they played Tai Chi from beginning to end, everyone's words are summed up in only eight words, the national law is ruthless, and they act according to law.

After such a bunch of phone calls, the hospital car also arrived.

The two nurses specially ran up to the third floor, not afraid of the hardships of the stairs of Lin Guohua's house, and wanted to put the old lady on the stretcher and carry it down. When the old lady saw Lao Lin put down the phone, she immediately turned over and asked Lao Lin, "Ah Rong, why didn't you call?"

The two nurses looked at each other and said nothing.

Lao Lin frowned, his face was full of sorrow, and he sighed: "Mom, you have heard it yourself, Ah Ling's matter, the gods came and didn't save it, so many leaders, all add up to say that there is no way, what else can I do?"

The old lady couldn't help but cry out to the sky: "Ouch! Why is my Ah Ling so miserable!~ Ah Rong, you are also ruthless enough, watching the police arrest your sister, you want to stop it a little in the morning, which policeman dares to arrest her?"

The old lady shouted blindly.

The relatives on the side saw that Lao Lin was obviously powerful, and he didn't look like he hadn't woken up in the morning, and he looked quite official, so they changed their positions and persuaded the old lady to come.

"Xiulan, don't talk nonsense, Ah Rong is not the chief of the police department, and Ah Ling is also harming herself......"

"Ah Rong is interesting enough, there are so many big leaders, ordinary people can't find them, Ah Rong has helped you find them, it's interesting enough......"

"Ah Rong, our family will elect the village chief in the spring next year, can you come and take a look?"

Lao Lin frowned, and in the midst of the disturbance, he got up and walked to Lin Guohua's side.

Lin Guohua laughed and hurriedly took out a cigarette.

Lao Lin raised his hand to block it, and said with a serious expression: "Ah Hua, let me ask you a question?"

"What's the problem?"

"If Ah Bing and Grandma fall into the water, one of them will definitely die, who will you save?"

Lin Guohua's eyelids jumped suddenly, and after a moment of silence, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and then he let out a series of smirks: "Huh...... Hehehehehe......"

Lao Lin raised his head and sighed.

Lin Miao: "......"
