At this time, Zhou Hao had a feeling that the sun was coming out of the west, and even felt a little absurd.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from life and death, his father Zhou Hongmao rarely cared about other things, originally thought that his father would still be indifferent, but he didn't want the old man to be so resolute about this kind of thing.

There was not the slightest room for negotiation in the tone.

Originally, I was still thinking about discussing with the old man about buying a villa, but now I think about it, I still don't mention anything, otherwise I'm afraid that the old man will really get angry.

Even if Zhou Haotian is not afraid of the ground, he is only afraid of the old man Zhou Hongmao.

"That...... Dad, then let's not move, heh, I see who dares to move our house. ”

After listening to Zhou Hao's words, Zhou Hongmao's gloomy face seemed to have a smile, and he only heard him say: "What your cousin did is right, this matter is not negotiable!"

Zhou Hao hurriedly smiled and pandered: "Yes, there is no need to discuss." ”

looked at the old man with a look of discomfort.

"What do you think I'm doing?"

"Oh, no, nothing. ”

seemed to know what Zhou Hao was thinking, smoked a cigarette and lit it, Zhou Hongmao said: "You can't forget your roots, there are some things that can be abandoned, indisputable, we don't have to be sad about this, but there are some things, even if they are dead, they must be pressed, and they can't be lost or forgotten." ”

He looked at the house and said, "This land and the old house were left by your grandfather's grandfather, how can we lose them as our descendants? ”

Really, Zhou Hao feels that today's sun is the same as coming out of the west. Since I was a child, it was the first time I heard the old man talk about the truth. It's just that these words came out of the old man's mouth, but they made Zhou Hao feel extremely touched.

Especially the sentence: Some things, even if they are dead, must be pressed, and they cannot be lost or forgotten.

Looking at the old man with sharp eyes, Zhou Hao said solemnly: "Dad, I will solve this matter." Rest assured, we're not going anywhere. ”

Nodding, Zhou Hongmao smiled and said, "Well, we are old, now is your young age, remember, don't do anything illegal." ”

He shrugged his shoulders in recognition of the old man's words.

Suddenly, my heart moved, and I remembered Zhou Yuantang, who had something to do with the initiator of this time in the village.

"I don't know how the gummies are doing now. ”

Thinking in his heart, he said hello to the old man and walked towards the East Village.

As the former richest man, Zhou Hao remembered that when he was a child, the village was undeveloped, and many people were one- or two-story stone houses, but at that time, Zhou Yuantang's family already lived in a five-story cement house, which was very eye-catching.

It's just that after so many years of development and change, basically every household in the village has lived in cement houses, and all of them are built from three floors, so the five-story small houses by the river in the east of the village at this time seem much more ordinary.

Especially if I have lived there for so many years, it is also old.

Looking through the fence outside the small bungalow, there was a black Volkswagen parked in the yard, but apparently no one had driven it for a long time, and the Volkswagen was covered with a layer of dust.

The doorbell was pressed, and soon after, a haggard-looking woman left.

Seeing the woman, Zhou Hao was like a mouse seeing a cat, and hurriedly greeted: "Auntie, hello, I'm here to find Yuantang." ”

The woman is Zhou Yuantang's mother, Liu Fang.

Glancing at Zhou Hao, Liu Fang frowned slightly, but there was still a smile on her face, not like before, looking at Zhou Hao with a disgusted expression. It's just that his voice is still a little indifferent, and he replied: "Come in, Yuantang is in the bedroom on the second floor." ”

Keenly aware of the strangeness in Liu Fang's expression, but Zhou Hao couldn't tell what the abnormality was, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted: "Gummies!"

No one replied, Zhou Hao had to smile, and Liu Fang, who introduced Zhou Hao into the yard on the side, entered the house, and he didn't know what to do, but Zhou Hao smelled a faint smell of Chinese medicine in the air, and his brows couldn't help frowning, thinking: Could it be that Auntie is sick?

When he arrived on the second floor, Zhou Hao went up to the house, and very skillfully walked around the hall on the second floor, and came to the bedroom door near the balcony.

After a few knocks, he said, "Gummies, it's one o'clock in the afternoon, and you're still sleeping?"

It was only after waiting outside the door for more than a minute that Zhou Yuantang's voice sounded inside.

"Come in, rat. The door is unlocked. ”

Zhou Hao, who felt strange in his heart, pushed open the door. walked in, only to see Zhou Yuantang holding his mobile phone, covering the quilt, looking like he had just woken up, yawning and looking at Zhou Hao with a smile.

"I said, what time is it, kid, are you still sleeping?"

Zhou Yuantang wiped his nose and said with a smile: "What's the matter? I can't sleep anymore?"

Zhou Hao scolded angrily and said, "Then I'm here, why are you still lying on the bed? ”

Hearing Zhou Hao go out for a walk, Zhou Yuantang smiled bitterly and did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "You came to me, is there something wrong?"

Zhou Hao looked at Zhou Yuantang strangely and replied, "I can't come to you if it's okay?"

Zhou Hao, who felt that the conversation between the two was very awkward, stood and looked at Zhou Yuantang, and was about to pull Zhou Yuantang up like he did when he was a child, but he saw Zhou Yuantang on one side of his body, avoiding Zhou Hao's pull. With a wicked smile on his face, he yawned and said, "I'm still sleepy, I want to sleep a little longer, if you're okay, let's go first." I'll look for you when I have time. ”

Zhou Hao paused for a moment, and said in his heart: No, how do you feel that this kid is so angry today.

With a move in his heart, he showed a bad smile, and before Zhou Yuantang had time to stop it, he directly lifted Zhou Yuantang's quilt and simply came to 'raid the house'.

But as soon as the quilt was lifted, Zhou Hao suddenly felt like he was being hit on the top of his head with a heavy hammer, staring at Zhou Hao, whose feet and knees were wrapped in plaster and bandages, his face immediately dropped.

"This, who did it!"

Picking up the quilt on the side with difficulty and covering his legs again, Zhou Yuantang was still holding his mobile phone and watching, without answering Zhou Hao's words, he showed a smile and said: "I said brother, don't you see that my feet are inconvenient? Don't bury me, hey, let me sleep for a while." ”

Zhou Hao sat on the edge of the bed and replied, "Tell me, who did it?"

But I only heard Zhou Yuantang turn his face sideways, pull the quilt to cover his head and lie down, and replied: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, go back and let me rest for a while." ”

Zhou Hao gritted his teeth and stood for a while, and after a while, Liu Fang entered the room with a bowl of freshly boiled Chinese medicine, showed a wry smile at Zhou Hao, and said to Zhou Yuantang on the bed: "Yuantang, drink the medicine." ”

"You put it first, I'll get up and drink it when it's cold." ”

Liu Fang seemed to be used to this scene, and once again showed a wry smile and walked out of the room.

And Zhou Hao looked at the medicine on the bed, and also walked out and closed the door.

At this time, in the hall, Liu Fang's eyes were moist, and she sat alone on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV. Zhou Hao walked over and asked, "Auntie, can you tell me about the gummies?"

Zhou Hao didn't open his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Fang's tears flowed down immediately, and he choked up and said: "Child, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, Yuantang said, I can't let you know about this matter in particular." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Hao's heart warmed, looked at the door, comforted Liu Fang, and said solemnly: "Tell me, Auntie." It's okay. I know how to measure. ”

It seemed that she had been struggling in her heart for a long time, and after a long silence, Liu Fang turned her head to look at the door, sighed, and finally told what happened like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

It's just that as soon as the conversation box opened, Liu Fang cried into tears.

"You also know that since Lao Zhou went, my family has relied on me and Yuantang, and I am diligent and diligent, in order to let Yuantang have a good living condition, but ...... I'm just a woman after all, and the industries left by Lao Zhou have fallen and lost ...... now."

Of course Zhou Hao knew the situation in Zhou Yuantang's family, and vaguely remembered that he had seen Yuantang's father a few times when he was a child, but he died more than ten years ago.

A while ago, Zhou Hao still remembered that Zhou Yuantang mentioned several mines in his family, saying that he was secretly swallowed by Zhou Xiaotian's father Zhou Wenhai, and some shares in the hotel and clothing industry also disappeared inexplicably under the control of his mother.

When he was a child, he didn't pay much attention to this, but when he was sensible and knew what his mother had done over the years, Zhou Hao only remembered that Zhou Yuantang was drunk that night, but he didn't shape himself into a good wife and mother like Liu Fang said now.

Zhou Hao, who sneered in his heart, was patient, and finally listened to Liu Fang's 'history of hardships' for nearly half an hour.

"At the beginning of this month, Yuantang had a good job. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Fang paused, Zhou Hao did not urge, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, Liu Fang continued: "It is also stone handicrafts, after all, when Lao Zhou died, there were still two mines under the name of Yuantang, and Yuantang also wanted to start from the grassroots level, and then take over the two stone mines after being familiar with the business." ”

Speaking of this, he choked up and sobbed violently, and picked up the tissues on the table one after another to wipe his tears constantly.

"Half a month ago, not long after entering the stone company, Yuantang was sent to Anshi to talk about customers, I still remember that day, Yuantang called me early in the morning, and seemed very happy, but in the early morning of the next day, he didn't see him go home, I was anxious. ”

"He didn't answer several phone calls in succession, and no one answered the phone calls to their company. Two days later, when I saw Yuan Tang again, he was lying on a hospital bed in Anshi, covered in blood, and his legs had been broken...... He was left at the entrance of the hospital, woo-woo-woo......"

The more he listened, the more gloomy Zhou Hao's face became. It was already until the matter was roughly the case, and he asked directly: "Do you know who did it?"

Liu Fang couldn't cry, shook his head and said: "Yuantang said that he didn't know those people either, and he was locked up for two days, and then he didn't know about it. ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Hao looked at Zhou Yuantang's bedroom door, took a deep breath, and slowly got up.

"Aunt Liu, do you know what the company where Yuantang works is called?"

Liu Fang looked at Zhou Hao with a complicated expression, nodded slightly, and said a company name.
