As soon as Lin Shaoyu returned home from Yang Guozhong, he rushed to the guest room like a wind.

Xue Er, who was sitting at the table and eating lunch, saw Lin Shaoyu suddenly break in, so he put down his chopsticks and beckoned, "Brother Lin, let's eat a little."

Lin Shaoyu waved his hand at him, then hurriedly picked up the teapot from the table and drank it. When the water in a teapot is almost dry, it is difficult to stop.

Wiping the water marks from the corners of his mouth, Lin Shaoyu sat next to Xue Er, and said with a smile: "An An woke up, and woke up this morning."

Hearing the news that Wen An'an woke up, Xue Er immediately stood up from the stool in surprise and walked towards the door quickly, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and sat on the stool.

Lin Shaoyu looked at Xue Er, who bowed his head and was silent, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Actually, you have done enough, even Tang Ran"

Speaking of this, Lin Shaoyu paused for a moment, and then continued: "You don't need to continue to blame yourself like this."

"An An, I heard that her face was also scratched, is her face okay?"

didn't answer Xue Er's words, Lin Shaoyu just saw that the hand on his shoulder was retracted, and instead picked up the teacup on the table and played with it.

Xue Er saw that Lin Shaoyu avoided this question, and probably guessed that he didn't mean anything, so he sighed slightly and stopped talking.

And Lin Shaoyu, who was sitting next to him, although his eyes were always staring at the teacup, he would look at Xue Er from time to time. After watching it for a while, Lin Shaoyu still decided to tell him what Wen Qing'an said.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Lin Shaoyu turned his head. Hesitantly said to Xue Er: "Just now, Qing'an told me something when I left."

Hearing Lin Shaoyu's snorting appearance. Xue Er looked up at him suspiciously.

"It is said that Yang Lao doesn't seem to be able to heal An An's face injury"

One word. Indeed, Xue Er stared at him in shock.

For a girl with a scar on her face, they all know what it means.

Seeing Xue Er's appearance, Lin Shaoyu seemed to see his expression just now, so when Xue Er came back from the shock, he slowly continued: "So, Qing'an and his wife plan to wait until the spring is warm, and they will set off after they have collected enough money." Go outside to find Lang Zhong to give An An an face. ”

Xue Er blinked at Lin Shaoyu for a while before digesting the content of his words: "You mean, Brother Wen and his family are ready to leave?" ”

"Hmm"

Seeing Xue Er's stunned appearance, Lin Shaoyu asked curiously, "Since you know these things now, what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Lowering his head and looking at his hands, Xue Er didn't know how to answer Lin Shaoyu.

If Brother Wen's family leaves, how will he make up for his mistakes.

Lin Shaoyu looked at Xue Er, who was full of embarrassment, and didn't say much anymore. Just stood up and walked outside, leaving this space to Xue Er, and let him think about what to do next.

But what surprised Lin Shaoyu was. Around the afternoon, Xue Er suddenly came to him and hugged his fists to thank him.

"These days. Thank you Brother Lin for your care, I plan to go back to the town to do some errands first. But. Little brother, I still want to get rid of Brother Lin."

Knowing that Xue Er was planning to do something, Lin Shaoyu nodded knowingly. Just as he wanted to ask what it was, he heard Xue Er continue.

"When Brother Wen's family left the village, they will definitely tell Brother Lin about you, so please inform Little Brother a few days in advance after knowing the exact time."

Xue Er's request was not difficult for Lin Shaoyu. It's just that he is quite curious, this Xue Er wants to know what the Daoist Wen family is going to do when he leaves, and now Wen Qing'an doesn't want to see him, so he can't see him off anyway.

However, Lin Shaoyu didn't bother about this matter later, anyway, Xue Er would not hurt the Wen family, what was he worried about here.

Lin Shaoyu nodded at Xue Er, and said cheerfully: "Leave this kind of trivial matter to me, I will guarantee that it will be done properly for you."

With Lin Shaoyu's consent, Xue Er no longer delayed in the Lin family, and the horse he used to pull up from the backyard rushed to the town.

When he returned to the town, Xue Er did not go to the class room to report first, but went directly to his home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his mother sitting in the courtyard with the soles of her shoes.

After Xue Er's mother heard the footsteps, she raised her head, but saw that Xue Er had not been seen for many days.

So the old man hurriedly put down the soles and needles and threads in his hands, got up and walked to him, and complained: "You child, I haven't seen anyone in the past two days, where did you go?" You haven't been at home for three days, what's the matter? So, you just listen to your mother's persuasion, and quickly become a relative to Osmanthus, this man who has a family, is no longer like those singles, just thinking about running out all day long"

Listening to the concerned nagging voice of his mother's relatives, and then looking at her old appearance and white temples, Xue Er felt uncomfortable for a while, reached out to help Xue Chen's arm, and walked to the house with her: "Mother, where is my sister-in-law?"

Interrupted by his son, Xue Chen glanced at him a few times with some dissatisfaction, but still answered his question: "I went to the door next door with Niuniu, saying that the sister-in-law of the Li family had a few new tricks and wanted to learn." I don't know why she likes to run so much, and she usually does it, but now she has a big belly, and she is still wandering around the world, and she is not afraid of any mistakes."

Even though Xue Chen often complains, he has never let go of his eldest daughter-in-law because of these trivial things, which is also the reason why the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been so good.

After helping his mother into the house, Xue Er sat there and thought for a while before saying, "Mother, I'll call my brother and sister-in-law to the house first, and when the people arrive, I have something to say."

People say that Zhi'er is better than her mother, when she spoke just now, this son, who usually echoes herself, didn't even smile today.

At that time, Xue Chen knew that his son had something hidden in his heart. Seeing him say this now, Xue Chen also restrained the smile on his face and nodded in response.

After the whole family had done it, Xue Er took out a few copper plates and handed them to Niuniu. Smiled and touched her head and said, "Here, take this money to buy some food with friends"

Niu Niu took the money. smiled and kissed the second uncle, and then jumped up and ran away.

Xue Chengwen withdrew his gaze from his daughter's distant back. Turning his head to look at his younger brother, he said, "Second brother, what is it that you have to do like this to say it?" ”

Although he kept encouraging himself before, but now that he really sat down and faced his family, Xue Er couldn't say a word.

Xue Chengwen looked at his younger brother who bowed his head and was silent, and asked his mother with his eyes, but what he saw was Xue Chen's shaking his head in confusion.

Just when everyone was a little impatient, Xue Er opened his mouth: "You must have heard about the murder some time ago."

I saw that several people listened to him. Nodding their heads again and again, Xue Er took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to tell the whole story.

After Xue Er finished talking about everything, Xue Chen suddenly took a few steps forward and slapped Xue Er in the face.

"Smack"

A loud slap that was unusually piercing in the silent room.

Xue Er stroked the beaten face, and looked up at Xue Chen in front of him in a daze.

Trembling, Xue Chen pointed at his son and scolded: "You bastard, although your father died early." But how do I usually teach you, you must not do those things that are sorry for your conscience. For those who are kind to us, we must repay the kindness. But, but. You, you, you, now the doll of the Wen family almost lost their lives because of you. Now even her face has been scratched, and it's a female doll. Do you know how important face is to a woman? You've ruined the doll's life. And it's the Wen family, and the Wen family is the benefactor of our family. You, you, you"

Xiao Xue saw that her mother-in-law was trembling with anger from her brother-in-law, so she hurriedly took a few steps forward and helped her to sit back on the stool, patted her back and whispered: "Mother, you dissipate your anger, let's talk slowly if you have something." ”

After listening to his daughter-in-law's words, Xue Chen patted his chest and sat there panting without speaking.

Xiao Xue saw that his persuasion was somewhat useful, so he gave his father-in-law a look and motioned for him to come over and persuade him as well.

But her eyes were about to fall, and she didn't see any movement from her father-in-law. The angry Xiao Xue Chen walked up to him and pinched him fiercely before gritting his teeth and saying, "What are you doing sitting here stupidly, and you don't go up to persuade him"

After talking for a long time, Xue Chengwen was still sitting there frowning and not looking at him, and in desperation, Xiao Xue had to walk back to his mother-in-law and persuade softly: "Mother, you can't care about the second brother in this matter, even if the second brother didn't give up investigating the case at that time, he may not be able to catch that crazy woman like Tang and Tang, so we can't put all the fault on the second brother's head."

Listening to her daughter-in-law's consolation, Xue Chen didn't say anything to her, just turned his head to look at Xue Er, and he didn't have the anger just now, but asked him with a little nervousness in his tone: "Son, there are no outsiders now, you tell your mother the truth, with your ability, if you continue to investigate at that time, can you catch that crazy woman before the Wen family has an accident?" ”

Looking directly into his mother's eyes, Xue Er was speechless for a while.

This is a question he never really asked himself.

When everything was clear, he regretted and blamed himself. But these guiltes are based on his assumptions all along.

What would have happened if he hadn't given up? If he continues, will the culprits be prosecuted?

Every time he thinks about it, he gives it a 'if' assumption, but in fact, he has been invisibly looking for a reason for himself, a reason to forgive himself.

But no matter how he hid it, in fact, deep down he already had a positive answer, otherwise he would not have made this unspoken decision today.

At this moment, he really realized that he had been running away all along.

But this reason was broken today, and at the same time, he saw his cowardice, it turned out that he didn't even have the courage to admit it.

raised his head and looked at those pairs of faintly expectant eyes, Xue Er's words made that expectation gradually dim.

"Can" (To be continued......)
