152. Guilt
I was suddenly scared.
The dark room, the quiet room, there was no noise at all, except for the occasional sound from the hallway outside the door.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, I was home alone, Gao Zijian did not come back, I could only hold the pillow and be in a silent daze.
Thinking of the words that Shi Lei said to me word by word by the moat at night, my body couldn't help but tremble. People of the older generation often tell us that in everything, we must leave a way back for others, and we must not do everything too desperately, otherwise, there will definitely be retribution.
In the past few years, in college, I have also quarreled with my classmates, and I will feel indignant for a little injustice, but this sentence has always remained in my heart, and I am willing to do good. But I didn't expect that some grievances are not something that can be escaped if you want to.
Shi Lei is a poor person, I feel this way for the first time.
I regret that I didn't really go into his heart during that time, and I regret that I struggled for my so-called self-esteem, but I didn't really understand the meaning behind his actions.
Every word and every word of him rang in my ears again and again, and I couldn't help but feel sad about it.
He was only ten years old that year. A ten-year-old child already has a child's self-esteem and understands honor and disgrace. So when he learned from his mother that his father was raising a woman outside, he was ashamed that he had such a father, he felt sorry for his mother, and resolutely stood on the united front with his mother.
His father and mother are a couple who came out of suffering, but instead of sincerity, they were betrayed. He should be an innocent child, but what he has to bear is not a responsibility that a little adult should bear.
How could he not hate? In such a remote and closed place, the reputation that the neighbors value the most is useless by their own father.
Divorce is her mother's choice. Originally, Shi Lei also thought that his mother's divorce was because he couldn't bear the betrayal of his marriage and because of his hatred against his father, and it wasn't until his mother found out that he understood the truth of the matter.
The reason why Shi Lei's mother took him away was because the aunt had foreseen that his husband was not far from death.
Embezzlement, raising another woman, this is not allowed at work, Shi Lei's mother thought that her husband would die, but she didn't expect that he would die at home with that woman.
Some people said it was suicide, some people said it was him, and after a long time, many people almost forgot about it, including Shi Lei himself.
Uremia, the impoverished family has no way to afford the expensive medical bills, Shi Lei's mother is ready to go on the road alone, and before choosing to commit suicide, she said the cause of death of the man who worried her.
It was he who killed, moreover, to seal his mouth.
A few years ago, Shi Lei returned home because of his aunt's illness, and went back with him, as well as Liu Meiting. The rest of the story happened naturally.
A love may be insignificant before my mother's serious illness, but it did not reach the point of betrayal, what really made Shi Lei decide to break up with me was because of his father's death.
I thought of the tears in Shi Lei's eyes when he told me about this paragraph, and said: "Xiaojia, in my mother's life, there is only one man in my father, even if that man betrays her, but in the bottom of her heart, she can't let go at all." My mother was ready to die, so she told me about his death. ”
Patrinal feud. Revenge.
Our life should be so simple, plain is happiness, I have always felt that finding someone, hand in hand for a lifetime, having children and raising children, and honoring parents is the greatest happiness in life.
But how can life be fair to Shi Lei? Among so many people, he is the one who is not hard.
If it were me, I would have struggled with the choice, right?
His mother is also a respectable woman, but she is a poor woman, she shouldn't let Shi Lei swear to avenge her father, and it is just as unfair to treat Shi Lei.
One can imagine how entangled his heart will be when he is knocked into the hospital.
I'm afraid of the hideous smile on Shi Lei's face, because behind that smile, his heart is already as hard as a stone, and he doesn't know how to love.
I'm not sure if Shi Lei will listen to me, but I think that if I had known the news earlier, would I have helped him not to go to this desperate situation?
What surprised me even more was that this world was so small, and the death of Shi Lei's father was directly related to Gao Zijian's third uncle, and Gao Zijian's father was also involved.
In this way, all the questions are cleared. Shi Lei desperately wants to take revenge on the Gao family, and he has the most reasonable explanation.
In the end, when I was shocked by this fact, I still had selfishness, and I asked Shi Lei, can you let go of the Gao family.
Shi Lei looked at me with a smile and said, "Then who will let me go?" ”
I'm scared. The first reaction was to tell Gao Zijian, but Shi Lei said that if Gao Zijian knew this fact, he would definitely come to him to settle accounts, he was not afraid that Gao Zijian would find him, but if Gao Zijian made a move, he could also take the opportunity to let him in.
His extremes, I have no way to convince. But what to do? Gao Zijian's father and third uncle, who can help rescue them?
and the words that Shi Lei said when he left, now that I think about it, I feel that my blood is going to coagulate.
He said that there must be a conclusion to some things.
I know, what he knows, the worst possible is that killing pays for life.
I hugged the pillow in my arms tightly, looked at the glowing mobile phone screen, and wanted to tell Gao Zijian, but I was afraid that as Shi Lei said, I could only restrain myself.
Suddenly, a bell rang in my ears, and I was afraid to retreat towards the head of the bed, and when I looked down, it was a mobile phone ringing.
It was Sun Yiqing's call.
"Hello?" I heard a tremor in my own voice.
"I see you left early at night, are you okay?" It's still a gentle and hoarse voice, but for me, it's the greatest comfort.
"It's fine." My simple answer.
"Oh, I happened to be passing by your downstairs, that ...... I don't mean anything else...... I just thought, maybe, you might want to try this barbecue near you, the taste...... The taste is still quite good. ”
There are several sentences in one sentence, and although the speech is not clear, it still feels a little touched when it sounds.
"If it's inconvenient, then wait for next time." Sun Yiqing heard that I didn't answer, and spoke again.
"Okay, you'll have to wait, about fifteen minutes." When I was talking, I turned on the light, and finally felt that my heart was not so congested.
I put on a coat, put on my shoes, and went downstairs.
Moving here to live, I have been busy with life, and I have no time to experience the night nearby, and I suddenly found out that the night market here is also very lively. Sun Yiqing stood on the far right, waved his hand at me, and walked over directly.
We chose a barbecue stall and sat down, Sun Yiqing talked to the boss, ordered something, and sat down opposite me after finishing it.
"I didn't ask you what you like to eat, just eat a little." Sun Yiqing looked at me and said with a smile.
I nodded, and suddenly I had a strong desire to talk, looked at Sun Yiqing, and said, "Today, I know a secret. ”
Sun Yiqing looked at me and asked, "What?" ”
I sighed softly, but the yogurt handed over by Sun Yiqing was warm from the glass bottle in the palm of my hand, which suddenly gave me courage.
Then, I told Sun Yiqing about Shi Lei, and his face did not change, except for the occasional sip of beer.
At the end, I said guiltily: "Actually, during this time, I am also reflecting on myself, love is mutual, and my contribution is too little." If I pay a little attention to Shi Lei's movements, perhaps, some things will not happen. ”
Sun Yiqing shook his head and said, "This time is different from the past, the person you are talking about is called Shi Lei?" ”
I looked at Sun Yiqing with some surprise and asked, "How do you know?" ”
Sun Yiqing smiled lightly and said, "A friend said that in fact, his father's unjust case did alarm many people. The media also seems to have gotten the news, but it was just suppressed from above. ”
I didn't expect that Shi Lei planned in such detail, which shows that he has already made up his mind.
"Let me put it this way, those involved in this case will be punished accordingly, and they should be held responsible for doing something wrong, and I don't think there is any problem."
But Gao Zijian ...... "Gao Zijian is innocent, he bears it, and I am willing to be with him." I can't say these words, I'd rather hold them in my heart.
"Xiao Jia, if you do something wrong, something bad, it is impossible for the psychology of the parties to be indifferent, if the facts are exposed, perhaps, for them, it is a relief. What do you think? Sun Yiqing looked at me, put the baked things in front of me, and signaled that I could move my chopsticks.
I looked at Sun Yiqing, and I felt a little comfort in my heart, he could always see the hidden side behind the tragedy, and I thought, maybe he was right.
The psychological burden was slightly reduced, and with a string of mutton skewers, I asked another question: "If Gao Zijian can't solve this matter, will he ...... with Liu Shihan according to his aunt's request?"
Sun Yiqing shook his head decisively and said, "Although Gao Zijian is young and vigorous, he is by no means a person who is unkind, and he will not. ”
Sun Yiqing said this, I was relieved, I suddenly felt comfortable, and said with a smile: "Manager Sun, you said you, the longer I get along with you, the more I feel that you are full of charm, if anyone marries you, won't it be a happy death!" ”
"Oh?" Sun Yiqing raised his eyes to look at me and said, "Do you really think so?" ”
