The two of them talked and laughed and returned to Zhong Xiaohai's house, seeing that Chen Yuewen had cleaned up the yard, chickens, sheep, pigs and everything had been driven back to the circle, and Zhong Xiaohai also returned to the house, probably continuing to lie down.

Seeing Chen Mingyu and them coming back, Chen Yuewen hurriedly greeted them and asked anxiously, "How is it?" Mingyu? Nothing happened, right? ”

Chen Mingyu smiled and said, "Nothing happened!" Sister, you don't have to worry, the people from the debt settlement team shouldn't come to your house again these days. In addition, this matter should be properly resolved. ”

Zhong Xiaotao, who was in an excited mood, also said: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, Brother Mingyu is majestic today!" We went to the brigade headquarters, and it happened that the mayor was also eating there, and the mayor was polite to me Brother Mingyu! Moreover, the mayor also said that he would personally investigate this matter and give us an explanation! I see, this time Qiao Yongsheng and Qiao Yutian will definitely be planted, hum ......"

Chen Yuewen was also very happy to hear it, but she didn't want to make a big fuss, so she told Chen Mingyu: "Mingyu, if this matter can be reconciled, we will reconcile, and we don't need to be angry with Qiao Yongsheng." After all, we will have to live in this village in the future, and it is not good to have a stiff relationship with them. ”

Zhong Xiaotao originally wanted to let Brother Mingyu teach Qiao Yutian and the others a good lesson, and it was best to let the mayor deal with them all, but now when he saw his sister-in-law say this, he couldn't help but be a little unwilling, and said: "Sister-in-law, your heart is too soft!" Qiao Yutian, they are all bullying us, what have they become, take this opportunity to ......"

Chen Yuewen is now a hostess in their Zhong family, and she is not polite to her brother-in-law, and said: "Xiaotao, you listen to us in this matter, don't cause trouble!" ”

Chen Mingyu understood his sister's thoughts, although he felt that Qiao Yongsheng, a silverfish who harmed the people, should be brought to justice and dealt with well, but from his sister's point of view, if he reconciled with Qiao Yongsheng and others, then it would definitely be much more convenient in his future life, after all, the vast majority of Qiaozhuang Village was from the Qiao family, and once the relationship with the Qiao family was too stiff, their life in this village would definitely be much more difficult.

Chen Mingyu said: "Sister, I understand, don't worry, this matter will be handled by the town, as long as our interests can be guaranteed, I will not give Qiao Yongsheng and them a special anger." ”

After speaking, Chen Mingyu also patted Zhong Xiaotao on the shoulder, telling him not to mess around in this silent way.

Although Zhong Xiaotao felt unwilling, he respected his sister-in-law and Brother Mingyu very much, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I listen to you, what do you say, just do it." ”

Chen Mingyu smiled and asked Chen Yuewen again: "What about my brother-in-law?" ”

Chen Yuewen's face immediately showed a sad expression, and she whispered, "He's resting in the back room." ”

Chen Mingyu said: "I'll go in and take a look." ”

Chen Yuewen nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Chen Mingyu said again: "Don't come in." ”

After speaking, Chen Mingyu walked towards the back room.

Entering the back room, Chen Mingyu saw Zhong Xiaohai lying on the bed in a daze, so he called out: "Brother-in-law! ”

Zhong Xiaohai turned his head and saw that it was Chen Mingyu who came over, and he couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart! Although Zhong Xiaotao's will is very depressed now, and he doesn't even have the confidence to continue living, he is still a person with strong self-esteem in his bones, and in fact, it is this extremely strong self-esteem that makes him live so painfully now!

Moreover, Zhong Xiaohai is actually a well-educated and polite person, especially for Chen Mingyu, he has always admired and respected him.

Therefore, seeing Chen Mingyu coming, although he was in a heavy mood, he still struggled to sit up and said, "Mingyu is here." ”

Chen Mingyu did it next to him and said, "Brother-in-law, the matter of Tiliu has almost been settled, so don't worry." ”

Although Zhong Xiaohai was very grateful to Chen Mingyu for his help today, he was not good at expressing his feelings, so he just responded: "Okay." ”

Chen Mingyu took out Hongta Mountain, took out one, and handed it to Zhong Xiaohai.

Zhong Xiaohai didn't pick it up, smiled bitterly, and said, "Your sister won't let me smoke, and I've quit for more than a year......"

Chen Mingyu still stuffed the cigarette into Zhong Xiaohai's hand and said: "Life is too short, you can smoke if you want to, and you can drink if you want to drink, why embarrass yourself so much?" ”

Zhong Xiaohai was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and let Chen Mingyu light him on fire.

After Chen Mingyu took two puffs of cigarette, he said, "Brother-in-law, today, I want to talk to you a few words, okay?" ”

Zhong Xiaohai held a cigarette in his hand, did not smoke, and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”

Chen Mingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, do you know, I admired you very much before!" You have a good character, you are good to my sister, and you are a good hand at farming, and you also do a good carpentry job, at that time in my heart, you are simply an omnipotent person. ”

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Xiaohai's mouth, and he didn't say anything.

Chen Mingyu continued: "But you have become in this state now, I am really sorry and distressed. Actually, brother-in-law, I don't mean to accuse you, although I can't fully empathize with your current mood, I can definitely feel a little bit from your shoes! I don't want to tell you any big truths, you understand all the big truths, and I don't think that kind of big truths are interesting. I just want to share with you a few words of my own thoughts. I think that some things, since they have already happened, since we can't change this fact, since we are still alive, then we can only try to accept it and make it a part of our lives. We are not ordinary people, we all have our own shortcomings, there is no need to be demanding, it is impossible for anyone to do it. In addition, brother-in-law, life is our own, not for others to see, what's more, now that the reform and opening up has begun, everyone is busy making money, and no one has so much energy to always focus on others, so we don't have so many viewers at all! One more point, brother-in-law, you must not blame yourself, it is not your fault that this kind of thing happens, let alone your responsibility, so you must first reconcile with yourself and forgive yourself, and then you may find that life may become different. Even if you take a step back, your current life is already terrible, and it can't be any worse, so why don't you try something else? ”

When Chen Mingyu said this, Zhong Xiaohai's face was very heavy and he didn't say a word.

After Chen Mingyu said this, he didn't continue to say, it was enough to stop at the point, and it would be redundant to say it.

He flicked off the ashes of his cigarette, stood up, and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm going home, and I'll come to you to play chess when I have time!" I remember that in the past, I lost to you every time I played chess, but now my chess skills have improved a lot, and I may not lose to you next time! ”

After speaking, Chen Mingyu walked out.

Zhong Xiaohai still didn't speak, and after Chen Mingyu walked into the courtyard, Zhong Xiaohai raised his trembling fingers, put the cigarette to his mouth, and took a hard puff, and two lines of hot tears flowed out of his eyes silently.

In the courtyard, Chen Yuewen asked nervously and curiously, "Mingyu, what did you say to your brother-in-law?" ”

Chen Mingyu said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, I just asked him to find a chance to play chess!" ”

"Playing chess?" Chen Yuewen was very puzzled.

"Yes, chess." Chen Mingyu smiled, "Sister, I lit a cigarette for my brother-in-law just now, I hope you don't get angry." ”

Chen Yuewen didn't care too much about this, and said: "It's okay, I didn't let him quit smoking, but since he was injured, he quit smoking by himself, and he didn't drink alcohol, so he just lay in bed every day, as if he was not interested in anything......"

Speaking of this, Chen Yuewen's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

Zhong Xiaotao also said depressedly: "I really didn't expect my brother to become like this now, how good he used to be, I told him several times, but he didn't listen to it at all......"

Chen Mingyu patted Chen Yuewen's arm lightly and said, "Sister, in fact, I understand my brother-in-law's feelings, and you also know that my brother-in-law is a person with very strong self-esteem, and he cares a lot about what others think of him, and even has a little perfectionist tendency." A person like him, suddenly one day his leg is lame, and the psychological blow he receives is far greater than the physical blow. Whether he can come out of this shadow is mainly to see if he can think about it, what we can do is very limited, but we must give him time. ”

Chen Yuewen wiped her tears and said, "Okay, Mingyu, I'll listen to you." ”

Chen Mingyu didn't say anything more, took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Yuewen's hand, and said, "Sister, I should go back, you can buy some delicious food for my nephew with this money!" ”

Chen Yuewen hurriedly excused herself: "No! You just gave me the money last month and I can't ask for it anymore! ”

Of course, Chen Mingyu will not take back the money again, and said: "Sister, don't fight with me, let's tell you the truth, I recently solved a big case, and the bureau rewarded me with a sum of money, you are my sister, of course I want to share it with you!" ”

"Mingyu ......" Chen Yuewen's heart was full of gratitude, and tears overflowed again.

"Sister, look at you, what are you crying all the time!" Chen Mingyu snorted pretendically.

Chen Yuewen hurriedly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and said, "Yes, I don't cry anymore, with such a good brother as you, it's too late for me to be happy!" ”

Chen Mingyu smiled and said, "Sister, then I'll go." ”

Chen Yuewen said: "You stay for dinner, I have already cut the cabbage, let's drink cabbage vermicelli soup at noon!" ”

Zhong Xiaotao also said: "Yes, Brother Mingyu, don't go, stay and have a meal!" ”

Chen Mingyu said: "No, sister, Xiaotao, I'll come over for dinner another day, when I come over, my mother has already cooked the meal, if I suddenly don't go back to eat, she will definitely twist my ears." Sister, you know, my mother pinched people's ears is a must! ”

Chen Yuewen was amused by Chen Mingyu and laughed, and said, "Okay, since the second aunt has already cooked the meal, I won't keep you." However, Mingyu, the second uncle and the second aunt don't know about my family, right? ”

Chen Mingyu said: "They don't know yet. ”

Chen Yuewen said: "Then don't tell them, they are worried." ”

Chen Mingyu said: "I understand, sister, you can rest assured." Then Chen Mingyu winked at Zhong Xiaotao and said, "In a few days, I'll come back to you!" ”

Zhong Xiaotao smiled and said expectantly: "Okay! ”
