Chapter 232: This is Fate
"Like...... That's the thing. Peng Ling's father said, "At first, I thought I had been hit by a car, but there were no injuries on my body." Later, she was given rice balls, and it was slowly better. Peng Ling's mother hurriedly said yes, yes, that day. I said who Peng Ling was playing with that day, and Peng Ling's father said that he didn't remember, it was too long.
Peng Ling's mother held her head with her hand, as if she was trying to remember what her husband wanted to say, but Peng Ling interrupted her and signaled not to. Peng Ling's mother thought for a long time and said to herself: "I remember, that day seems to be the fourth year of junior high school...... I cook in the kitchen and Reiko plays in the yard...... There was the sound of children laughing, and I also looked out of the courtyard, and there were two children in addition to Reiko......"
I hurriedly asked, "Can you remember who those two children were?"
Peng Ling's mother gently tapped her forehead with her hand: "I really can't remember, I want to think about it...... It seems to be a boy and a girl. Peng Ling's father said that the girl must be Shuli, Peng Ling's mother immediately said, yes, it's her, the only daughter of the old Tang family opposite, Shuli, the new clothes she wore that night, the clothes and pants were all pink.
"What about the boy?" "Girls are not so naughty, they like to scare other children with firecrackers, and the rest of the boy is the key. Peng Ling's mother had a hard time recalling, Peng Ling and I looked at each other, and we didn't bother anymore, so that she could think slowly. Peng Ling's father said the names of several neighborhood boys in a row, and Peng Ling's mother couldn't be sure, maybe yes or maybe not.
Suddenly, Peng Ling's mother asked: "I remember that night, the boy in the courtyard seemed to cough often, I don't know who ......" Peng Ling's father immediately said that it should be Wu Ming's second son, and the child has a cold and cough every winter.
Peng Ling's mother said: "It's him! I love to bully other children since I was a child, I remember, before I entered the house that day, I told him, don't bully my Lingzi! By the way, he has a half-hung red whip in his hand!" After careful questioning, I found out that the last time I came, Peng Ling's father and daughter saw a "person" hanging themselves in the courtyard of a certain family in the middle of the night, and the yin spirit was this Wu Ming's cousin-in-law. At that time, his second son was about seven or eight years old, and Tang Shuli was a girl, less than five years old at the time.
"This stinky boy is really hateful, if he hadn't been pranked, my Lingzi wouldn't have been like this!" Peng Ling's father hit the fire and was about to go out to Lao Wu's house to settle accounts, but was stopped by Peng Ling's mother.
She said: "It was more than 20 years ago, what's the use of you looking for it now? People don't remember it at all, and they think that you have nothing to do to find a slander, it's meaningless!" Peng Ling also said that she didn't want to do this, but Peng Ling's father insisted on going, saying that he had let his daughter suffer for more than 20 years, so he didn't want to ask for an explanation, at least he had to apologize. I followed him out and walked less than 200 meters to Lao Wu's house. It just so happened that Lao Wu's two sons were at home, tall and tall, and his wife and children were also there, so it turned out to be Lao Wu's birthday.
Seeing Peng Ling's father coming in, still angry, the Wu family felt very strange. Peng Ling's father told the situation, and the Wu family looked at each other, and finally laughed, saying that he was joking. Peng Ling's father was furious, rushed up and grabbed his second son and was about to beat him, the Wu family hurriedly went up to pull it, and I also followed to persuade it, and the Wu family knew that it was not a joke.
I took out my phone and showed the Wu family the video I had recorded at the temple in Thailand at that time, and then explained the details to them. The second son of the Wu family snorted: "What is this? Can it prove that I set off firecrackers to scare Peng Ling stupidly? I don't remember such a thing!" The Wu family said in unison, saying that Peng Ling's father was talking nonsense.
Peng Ling's father was very angry, and he wanted to stand up and theorize again, I could see this form clearly, and it was impossible for the other party to apologize, so I had to persuade Peng Ling's father to go back. When he went out, the second son of the Wu family stood at the door and said: "Poor and crazy, come to our old Wu family, you better try it for another family!"
I tried my best to persuade Peng Ling's father to go home, and my head was full of sweat. Seeing the two of us like this, Peng Ling's mother and daughter knew what was going on, Peng Ling's father said stupidly: "The bastard boy ruined my daughter's half of her life, and now he has a wife and children, why?"
"Dad, let the past pass," Peng Ling was very calm, "Maybe this is the test God gave me, maybe the sins I have suffered in the past 20 years are atonement for my past life or which relatives?"
I said, "Anyway, now that Peng Ling has recovered her health, she is still young, only in her early twenties, and a good time awaits her, which is also lucky." Maybe your family will be running from now on!" After my persuasion, Peng Ling's parents also smiled again, and hurriedly went out to buy vegetables and cut meat, and wanted to entertain me well. Of course, I'm not polite, after all, I have made a great effort. reported the situation to Kaohsiung, but he was also helpless, saying that he had no choice but to do so.
After living at Peng's house for two days, I want to say goodbye and go back to Beijing, Peng Ling does not go back with me, but wants to stay in her hometown and make up for the family happiness lost over the years. But she sent me from the county seat to Daye, and from Daye to Wuhan Airport. When we parted, Peng Ling gave me a big hug, saying that Brother Gao and I were her benefactors, and if there was a chance in the future, I would definitely repay her.
Flew back to Beijing from Wuhan, entered the Buddha brand shop, and told Luo Li what happened, she was happier than me, saying that this time Miss Peng finally didn't have to work around to find a man to live with, she would find what kind of man she liked, and she would be single if she didn't like it, and she was no longer afraid of seeing any shadow at night.
When I went to bed at night, I was thinking about Peng Ling, it was really a very unlikely event, but it caused such a big consequence, not only changed people's lives, but also changed the life of a family, if it wasn't for the fact that I went to the bar with Kaohsiung that day, I couldn't meet Peng Ling, I really don't know how she would spend her life, maybe she really went to be a nun, and she would be lonely and old.
"Will there be retribution for the second son of the Wu family who frightened Peng Ling with firecrackers?" I texted Kaohsiung.
After a while, he replied: "It may affect your own good fortune and fortune, but the probability of this life is low, after all, it was still young at that time, and the evil thoughts were not enough, but it will definitely be reported in a certain life or something." ”
I thought, maybe this is called the butterfly effect, the second son of the Wu family was only seven or eight years old at the time, and his pranks caused Peng Ling decades of painful damage, which is a loss that cannot be measured by money. Although the guardian is also responsible for the harm caused by minors to others, Peng Ling did not show too obvious symptoms after being frightened, so it is easy to ignore and cannot be held responsible. One person's unintentional actions can change the lives of others, and this matter will also have a good or bad impact on themselves, of course, both parties are likely not to know, just think that it is unlucky, the world is like this.
