Chapter 8: The Past (Minor Repairs)
Lu Yecheng looked at Jiang Gan with a complicated expression, he has always been in love with this senior brother, Jiang Gan was born illustrious but never bullied, except for teasing him a few times at the beginning, he later knew that he was living in poverty and did not want to be charity, so he introduced him to a lot of part-time jobs, and after graduation, he also used his relationship to get him to work in a hospital in the provincial capital.
Until this incident happened, he had been looking for evidence for Jiang Gan, wanting to prove his innocence, but he never expected that he would become Jiang Gan's scapegoat, he cried bitterly in the cold cell but no one accepted it, all the evidence that originally pointed to Jiang Gan was now all pressed on him, and the most desperate thing was that he had never seen Jiang Qian since he was arrested and imprisoned, and his most admired and grateful senior brother evaporated......
Jiang Linhuai vaguely knew about this incident, but he was only three or four years old at that time, and he couldn't remember the specific circumstances of the year, but he remembered that the third uncle he could see every day suddenly disappeared, and then he ran to ask his mother, but his mother said that the third uncle went to study abroad.
A trace of anger and remorse flashed in Jiang Gan's eyes, and he said ashamedly: "After I got out of court that day, after I separated from you, I was given anesthetics, and then I was secretly sent out of the country. ”
After Jiang Gan was involved in the lawsuit, Mr. Jiang's reputation at that time plummeted, if it dragged on any longer, the Jiang family would definitely be hit by other factions, so Jiang Gan's mother privately discussed with Jiang Gan, and put all the blame on Lu Yecheng's head, he had neither criminal motive nor murderous intent, and then directly shirked it as an unintentional mistake, even if he was imprisoned, he would not be sentenced to a few years, and then the Jiang family would compensate him, Jiang's mother had not finished speaking, and Jiang Gan categorically refused, and told his mother, don't mention this kind of thing again!
Jiang Qian originally thought that this was just a fucking private thought, but he didn't expect that these words were instructed by Mr. Jiang, after the second trial, Jiang Gan was arranged by Mr. Jiang in a car accident, and then sent out of the country under the pretext of going abroad for treatment, Jiang Gan woke up and found that he was abroad, and someone around him guarded him to prevent him from contacting the outside world, until he contacted his friends in China, he knew that Lu Yecheng had been decided, and the dust settled.
"At that time, the old man told me that he would give you a reduced sentence for dredging the relationship, and you would be released after five years in prison, and give you a sum of money as compensation, and when you were released from prison, he would arrange a good job for you, so that you would be safe and worry-free for the rest of your life."
"Fart-" When Lu Lianggui heard this, he immediately became furious, "My son didn't receive any money at all, and if he had arranged a job after he was released from prison, would he be able to fall into what he is now?!" ”
Lu Yecheng coughed on the side, "Someone did come to me on the day I was released from prison, and that person claimed to be your second brother and said that he was going to arrange a job for me, and I beat him...... A meal. ”
Jiang Qian coughed suddenly, and his eyes skimmed to Jiang Linhuai, who was sitting on the side.
Jiang Linhuai: "......"
It's no wonder that when he asked his second brother about Lu Yecheng's recent situation, the second brother was always pale, and he didn't want to say anything except for giving money to arrange a job......
"Actually, I have come to the prison many times to see you, but I have not had the courage to see you once......" Jiang Qian looked at the people of the Lu family guiltily, "On the day you got married, I came to Lizigou, and I wanted to apologize to you in person, but I didn't want to ......"
Unexpectedly, he didn't see Lu Yecheng at all, and was directly swept out of the house by the Lu family.
……
After everything was revealed, Lu Yecheng had mixed feelings in his heart and didn't know what to say.
When he was released from prison, he returned home in a daze, because he had a criminal record, no hospital was willing to ask him, the only glorious college student in the village became a talking point and a joke, he didn't go out for a long time, he only hated his low status, he couldn't clear his grievances, and he hated himself for not knowing people clearly, and God was unfair, why should good people suffer such shame!
It wasn't until his mother became seriously ill that he had to cheer up, marry a foreign woman introduced by his third aunt, give birth to Lu Xun, and spent more than ten years in a daze, ignoring foreign affairs, and resting on his laurels in the small village of Lizigou.
Lu Wuyuan didn't expect that the mediocre and inactive Lu Yecheng would have such an experience, no wonder he always felt that Lu Yecheng's conversation and knowledge were much better than other people in the village.
He looked at Lu Yecheng's gloomy face, and there was a trace of regret in his heart, Lu Yecheng was originally talented, but he thought that this unwarranted disaster had ruined half his life, and he had become the most innocent one in the political struggle.
The sky slowly darkened, the blood on Jiang Gan's forehead had stopped, Xiao Fang anxiously wanted him to go to the town to treat the wound, but Jiang Qian insisted on refusing to go, found a villager's house next door, paid the room fee, and the other party sorted out three spare rooms, and the three of them fell asleep from mosquito bites this night.
At night, when Lu Wuyuan was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Lu Yecheng say beside him: "Son, do you think I'm useless." ”
Lu Wuyuan opened his eyes and looked at the confused Lu Yecheng.
Lu Yecheng smiled bitterly: "I didn't want you to know these things, but after thinking about it, I still let you know that you are sensible when you grow up, and you should be able to share your father's troubles." ”
Lu Ye is a person who rarely gets angry, the first time he hated people, but he hated the senior brother he once admired the most, he thought that he would hate Jiang Qian for the rest of his life, but after learning the truth, he was a little hesitant.
Lu Wuyuan's heart moved, he knew that Lu Yecheng had low self-esteem in his heart because of his poor family background, and because of the fact that he was in prison, he was extremely distrustful of outsiders, but he didn't think about retaliating against anyone in his heart, whether he was capable or not, Lu Yecheng was thinking of Jiang Gan's kindness back then.
Lu Wuyuan was very impatient with Lu Yecheng's cowardice and nostalgia, but he knew that he couldn't change Lu Yecheng.
"You want to forgive him?" Lu Wuyuan opened his mouth bluntly.
Lu Yecheng was silent for a moment, and it wasn't until Lu Wuyuan didn't answer because he couldn't answer, Lu Yecheng said, "I don't know." ”
Lu Yecheng stared at the ceiling above his head and said, "Actually, Jiang Qian saved my life." ”
It was a cold winter, Lu Ye became a child who rescued the child who fell into the ice lake and jumped into the lake, but he didn't expect that after supporting the child's body, his feet cramped, he thought that he was going to see the prince of Yama but was rescued by Jiang Gan, after Jiang Qian saved him, he had a high fever and lay on the hospital bed for a week.
When he met with the lawyer sent by the prosecution, he didn't believe that Jiang Qian would blame him at all, and until the days passed, Jiang Qian never appeared, and he was at a loss for the incriminating evidence, so he had to believe it......
"Anyway, I hope you don't regret it." After Lu Wuyuan said it, he was a little dumbfounded, how could he say this to Lu Yecheng?
……
On the second day, Lu Wuyuan got up early in the morning, and when he came back from practice, he found Jiang Linhuai sitting alone in front of the table, frowning and looking at the black poached eggs in front of him.
The big flower face Xiao Fang held a spatula and said with a shy face: "This pot stove is too difficult to burn, young master!" ”
Jiang Linhuai pushed the plate to the side and didn't speak.
Xiao Fang's face suddenly turned bitter green, and he stuffed the poached egg into his mouth as if he were dead, swallowed it with great difficulty, and then gave a thumbs up and said, "It's so delicious." ”
Xiao Fang turned his head and saw Lu Wuyuan coming in from outside, and looked at Lu Wuyuan with tears in his eyes that were smoked by the smoke and fire: "Classmate Lu, can you please make a fire for us, I want to fry a poached egg for my young master." ”
Jiang Linhuai took a sip of porridge and said that he didn't need it.
"Well, the doctor said you need to supplement your nutrition." Xiao Fang took out a notebook with detailed recipes written down on it.
Lu Wuyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Young Master Jiang, this young master really had too many fine days.
"And then." Lu Wuyuan threw the things in his hand to Jiang Linhuai.
Jiang Linhuai took the thing he threw over, but found that it was a red wild fruit, stared at the fruit for a long time, and stared at Lu Wuyuan for a long time, but he didn't take a bite.
Lu Wuyuan didn't care, took the spatula in Xiao Fang's hand, and then gave Xiao Fang, who was looking at him with a blank eye, a wild fruit.
"Hmm, it's so sweet, young master, eat it quickly." Xiao Fang praised again and again.
Jiang Linhuai hesitated for a moment, took a bite with some hesitation, and a sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, and he felt even hungrier after eating the fruit.
"What are your third uncle taking my dad out for?" Lu Wuyuan cracked open an egg and asked as he broke it up.
"Go to the bank in town and check the transaction records of the year." Xiao Fang replied.
"Oh?" Lu Wuyuan didn't understand it at all......
"It's the money that the young master's father called your father back then." Xiao Fang explained.
Lu Wuyuan suddenly glanced at Xiao Fang with a smile: "Is it difficult for your young master to open Chrysostom." ”
Jiang Linhuai: "......"
"Ha, haha, my young master has a sore throat and doesn't want to speak." Xiao Fang sloppily looked at him, looked at him left and right, and opened the topic.
Obviously, after seeing Jiang Linhuai's face turn cold, Lu Wuyuan sneered in his heart, this young man is quite funny.
Jiang Qian said that when Lu Yecheng was imprisoned, the Jiang family gave the Lu family a sum of money, but Lu Yecheng didn't know about it at all. Lu Wuyuan felt very curious.
He suddenly remembered something: "It turns out that it was your father who was beaten back then." ”
Jiang Linhuai: "......".
