nineteen
Zhang Nan may have only stayed in this apartment for a moment from entry to exit, and the plainclothes were all concentrating on searching, and no one noticed that the young woman floated for a while, coming and going in a hurry.
When Zhang Nan went downstairs, his steps staggered a little, and tears fell to the ground, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound. She drove away her car like the wind and fled in the direction of home and parents.
The night of the suburban road was pierced by the silver "Audi" like lightning, and when Zhang Nan drove the car into the garage of her villa, she was still crying, not sad, but angry. She sat in the car for a long time and didn't get out, trying to give herself time to stop crying. When she got out of the car, she saw that the leather bag full of 50,000 yuan in cash in the driver's passenger seat was still in its place.
The parents have not yet fallen asleep, and are still watching the "evening news" in the living room on the second floor. The tear stains on Zhang Nan's face and the leather bag in his hand highlighted the doubts that could not be asked, and his mother asked: "What's wrong Nan Nan, came back so late, did something happen?" The mother's voice made people feel extremely loving at this moment, and this kindness, which was usually ignored, made Zhang Nan cry again. On this fragile night, she was powerless to hide. Concealment means that you have to carry everything yourself. At the beginning, the 10,000 yuan weighed on such heavy suspicion in her heart, and she didn't let anyone share it a little.
On this fragile night, she summoned everything to her parents as if she had collapsed. My mother immediately called my cousin and his wife, who lived not far away, by phone. The opinions of the relatives are unprecedentedly unanimous, and they all agree that this seemingly romantic relationship is obviously a deception.
In the consistent analysis and judgment, the father's tone is the most gentle, and therefore the most fair and objective. My father said: "It has been the rule of life since ancient times that food and clothing and then lust are the first needs of people, and almost no one can be an exception." If you fall in love with a person who even has a problem with food and clothing, then the essence and truth of this love are indeed difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Nan Nan, you are a person who has not worried about food and clothing since childhood, you can't understand those young people who have lacked clothes and clothes since childhood, their living conditions and family history, and have constructed the overriding value of survival. Once this value forms the inertia of thinking, it will be difficult to change it for a lifetime. The biggest stimulus that your love gives him may not be the love itself, but your social status, material conditions, family background, and the impact and change of all this on him in the future. These are just everyday things for you, but they are full of novelty and temptation for him. He can show all his good and cover up all his shortcomings, maybe intentionally, maybe unintentionally, in short, everything is natural to him. His mistakes may simply be because he is too young, impatient, inexperienced, unanticipated in some aspects of your sensitivity, and too anxious to ask you for money. If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and the number has risen a little too much. He and the woman in the apartment tonight may have had the same story, and it's unclear whether the woman saw him through or if he dumped her after knowing you. But at least one thing is clear, and that is that he is not honest. He lied to you, he hid that he had an unusual relationship with the woman who lived in the apartment. Maybe that woman loved him more than you did! Because in any case, this boy has an appearance that makes a woman's heart move, which is perhaps his only weapon, his only resource. He apparently realized this himself, so well, he lived on it! ”
The father's point of view is different from that of his cousin, but in fact they are the same. The difference is only that the cousin thinks that Baoliang pursued her cousin with an insidious premeditation from the beginning, while the father thinks that Baoliang's various manifestations are just an instinctive process, and that Baoliang himself may have been unintentional, but he did not escape from the instinctive drive. Whether it is intense or relaxed, the conclusion of both sides is the same, that is, Zhang Nan must rein in the precipice, put away his illusions, and return to reality.
Father said: The feeling of being in love is beautiful, like an adventure, and sometimes the abnormal love is more exciting. However, rationality in the process of love is also important, and people who only know how to indulge sensually and do not know the constraints of reason will definitely make a mess of their lives.
My cousin said: Nan Nan, did you listen to it, we are all your relatives, otherwise we wouldn't be so bitter.
The brother-in-law said: When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic. Nan Nan, you are not small, don't think about love so naïve.
Mother said: Nan Nan, we don't want to force you to make a decision, we just provide reference opinions, which is the responsibility of relatives.
Zhang Nan said: I know, I understand. The decisions I should make, I will do on my own.
Bao Liang didn't expect that Xiao Liang would keep the photos taken by the group of friends who shook their heads together when he was messing around in the nightclub, and he didn't expect that these disgraceful photos would still hang in front of her bed many days after Xiao Ling's death.
The first embarrassment he felt was because those dirty photos obviously crashed into Xia Xuan's eyes. Although this apartment has entered the public security in the process of tracking down Quan Sangun, because Xiao Liang is dead, the house is vacant, and Xiao Liang is not a person directly related to Quan Sangun, so there has been no search of this house. This time, after discovering that the important clue figure Ma Jialin had returned to the place after being missing for several days, the police detained Ma Jialin and brought documents allowing the search of the house at the same time.
As for the horse boss, Bao Liang has tried all kinds of methods to plead and force him to tell the whereabouts of Quan Hu many times, but it has never been effective. But as soon as Boss Ma was taken to the public security organ that night, a group of police officers surrounded him, and he immediately obeyed. not only said the name and location of Quanhu Company, but also took the initiative to name the business dealings and debt disputes between him and Quanhu Company.
He repeatedly emphasized to the police that there was only business contact between him and Quan Hu, and there was no personal friendship, and that business was also two years ago. Last year, he dismantled the office in the provincial capital, and the company's headquarters in Tieling was also cancelled. Boss Ma's confession is basically consistent with the police's investigation and analysis, and there is no evidence to show that he has anything to do with the Quan Sangun murder case. He disappeared in the provincial capital and his hometown of Tieling in order to avoid debts, and there was no necessary connection with the murder. He has been soliciting investment in Guangdong during this period, and his whereabouts have been basically true after the police investigation. This time he went back to the provincial capital to get back the money that he had put in Xiao Ling's account before, he and Xiao Liang had not been in contact for a long time, and he just knew that Xiao Liang had died a year ago.
On the night of the detention of Ma Jialin, the public security dispatched a group of men and horses to rush to Zezhou, where the Quanhu company was located. Zezhou is a county-level city at the end of the Jianhe River Basin, the city is not large, but it is a dry dock for freight distribution. Quan Hu runs a company called Million Dollar Transportation Company, which specializes in water transportation on the Jianhe River. But when the police arrived in Zezhou, they found that the million-dollar transportation company, which was registered by a man named Feng Wu, had applied for cancellation last year, and Feng Wu and Quan Hu had disappeared since then, and people had not heard anything about them in Zezhou's water operation for a long time.
Although the public security officers' trip to Zezhou was a failure, the information they found was still of great significance in the analysis of the case. Because the time of the application for cancellation of the Million Company and the disappearance of Quan Hu is just a few days after the murder of Quan's three guns, it does not seem like a "pure coincidence".
But the clue was interrupted here after all.
Although it has been a year since the Ministry of Public Security issued an A-level wanted warrant, Quan Hu has no evidence to be suspected of being in the same case, so he cannot be dealt with legally by the method of being wanted. After the case-handling personnel rushed to the air, the Provincial Public Security Department convened the provincial capital city bureau, the Jianning City Bureau, the Zezhou City Bureau and other public security organs to discuss the case, and arranged and coordinated the division of labor for the next step of investigation and control.
These situations were the general contents revealed to him later when Inspector Jin and Xia Xuan talked to Baoliang to communicate with him. At that time, Bao Liang was falling into a low ebb of lovelorn, and before learning these contents, he was full of thought that the Public Security Bureau would soon find Quan Hu and his sister, and reuniting with his sister was the only hope that could shine some light in his gloomy heart those days.
Baoliang called Zhang Nan's mobile phone, and Zhang Nan's mobile phone was turned off forever.
He called Zhang Nan's company, and the person who answered the phone was always a man. Bao Liang could keenly hear from his voice that the man was the burly young man who paid Zhang Nan a loan of 10,000 yuan last time.
He had no choice but to call Zhang Nan's home. It was Zhang Nan's mother who answered the phone, and from Zhang Nan's mother's cold tone, Bao Liang thoroughly understood that Zhang Nan's farewell downstairs at the little girl's house obviously meant a decision.
On Thursday, Bao Liang took turns off, he went to the International Trade Building, and took the elevator directly upstairs, but was stopped by a reception lady at the door of the company where Zhang Nan worked. After some phone calling, the young lady told him that Zhang Nan was not there. In fact, when the young lady called the office, he could understand that "Zhang Nan was not there" was just an excuse for Zhang Nan to refuse.
That night, he borrowed a colleague's mobile phone and sent a long message to Zhang Nan's phone, asking Zhang Nan what he had done wrong. In fact, he had vaguely guessed that the cute photos hanging on the bedside were probably the reason for Zhang Nan's desperation.
The reason for Zhang Nan's desperation was because she concluded that he lied to her, and she concluded that he swore honesty while lying.
Did he lie to her? He has been concealing this relationship between him and Xiao Liang, from the essence of his love with Zhang Nan, is it a lie?
On Saturday, he sent a letter to Zhang Nan's mobile phone again, hoping that she would give him a chance to explain any contradictions and misunderstandings to his face. He wanted to explain to her face that not only did he never regard Fei Fei as his lover, but he would never love Xiao Yan! He did "fool around" with the little boy for a while, but that was just to find his sister. But Bao conscience also knows very well that although all this truth is indeed the truth, once the opportunity to be clear is missed, it may really not be clear. The contradictions in this world are not all made up of misunderstandings, but there are indeed many misunderstandings that will never be eliminated.
Maybe that's fate.
He didn't know how long it took him to save himself from his dejected state. Although, in those days, he could still go to work as usual, and he could still show a professional smile to the guests as usual, and sometimes he was very bored after work, and he would go to Liu Cunliang's shop to sit for a while. He also went to see Fei Fei and made the same cliché exhortation again, but no matter where he went, whether his face was sad or smiling, whether his tongue was closed or open, he felt that he was a walking corpse, there was no joy, no reverie, and all the scenes in his eyes had lost their original luster.
The torment of boredom and longing oppressed him, and he had to find all kinds of ways to try to get out. He even took advantage of the weekend to go back to his hometown again, and returned to the bank of the Jianhe River to see the old house where he lived when he was a teenager. His yard remains unchanged and remains uninhabited. The person who bought the house is said to have another house in the city center, so it has been vacant until now.
From the words of some old neighbors, Bao Liang knew about the changes in the situation in this courtyard. He also quietly jumped over the wall into the courtyard and climbed into the room through an unlocked window. He walked in and out of several rooms, which still had some of his old furnishings, every piece of furniture and every corner was covered with the same heavy dust, and even the color of the sun had become obsolete. Bao Liang stayed in his parents' and sister's bedrooms for just as long, and the two rooms were equally silent. It was only when he pushed open the creaking door of the kitchen that he vaguely heard his mother's nagging instructions, and she was telling Bao Liang to call his father and sister home for dinner, lest the food be cold and not tasty. He heard his voice shouting from the house to the courtyard, and from the courtyard to the outside of the alley: "Dad, sister, father, sister, ......" The moment he heard the shouting in his heart, Bao Liang really forgot Zhang Nan, forgot the pain of losing Zhang Nan, or rather, this pain was suddenly replaced by another pain, and he painfully longed that he could really call back his father and sister, so that they could come back here with him, sit at the table, and happily eat together. Eating is the most relaxed and harmonious scene of a family's life, and even imagining it silently will feel extremely warm. It doesn't matter if Mom is gone, he can cook for Dad and Sister instead of Mom, as long as they can still sit around this table with him, and eat everything he makes with a smile, it is enough to make Baoliang have no regrets.
However, when his shouts drifted away, the house remained empty and dilapidated. The warmth and splendor of the illusion and the gloom and coldness of reality constituted pain, which oppressed him to the core.
It wasn't until he sat on the top of the abandoned kiln on the hill that the depression in his conscience was slightly soothed by the openness of the Jianhe River in his field of vision. The breeze blowing from the river on the hill made Bao Liang gradually enjoy the transparency of the seven orifices, but his breath still brought out some choked throats that were difficult to sweep, so that his mind could not expand with the wind to the fullest.
The next day, Bao Liang went to see Liu Cunliang and Li Chen's parents, and returned to the provincial capital with the things that Liu and Li families had given to their son. On the night he returned to the city, he asked Liu Cunliang and Li Chen to eat and chat in a small restaurant next to the night market, handed over the things he brought at home to them, and told them about the changes and changes in their alley.
Li Chen and Liu Cunliang came together, and when they arrived at the agreed restaurant, Baoliang had been waiting for a long time. On the way here, Liu Cunliang asked Li Chen to accompany him to buy a lottery ticket, Liu Cunliang bought 20 yuan, and Li Chen also bought 10 yuan. According to Li Chen, his ten yuan is not as heart-wrenching as Liu Cunliang's spending, he doesn't want to get rich but just want to have a good time.
It was a kind of instant welfare lottery ticket, Li Chen Liu Cunliang entered the small restaurant and sat down at the table, not much interested in Bao Liang's description of his hometown, only caring about the toothpick scratch on the dining table. A total of fifteen lottery tickets for two yuan were bought, Liu Cunliang held his urine and went to the toilet, so he asked Baoliang to help Li Chen scratch the number together. Li Chen scratched nine sheets full of thank you, and when Bao Liang scratched the fourth one, he actually scratched out a "congratulations", and then scratched it down to the three black characters of "first prize". Bao Liang picked up the lottery ticket and showed it to Li Chen, who looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure out what it was!
Bao Liang scratched the remaining two lottery tickets, both of which were annoying "thank you". Li Chen took the ticket with "First Prize" written on it and got up and left his seat, saying that he was going to the ticket office to ask about the authenticity. Bao Liang said to eat first, let's go after eating, Li Chen said that it is better to ask first, stay for a while, maybe people will close after work.
Li Chen left, Liu Cunliang came back, and Bao Liang told him about the scratch just now. Liu Cun understood this kind of thing, stared at the surprised eyes and asked again, and then shouted with joy: "That's right, this is the win, hey, Baoliang, you are really a golden hand, I would have known that every time I bought a lottery ticket before, I should have asked you to help me scratch it!" Bao Liang waited for me to get the money, I will thank you well, I invite you to eat at the restaurant on the top floor of the International Trade Building. Hey, is Li Chen already gone, does he bring his ID card? You need an ID card to claim the prize! Ouch, I didn't bring my ID card! Baoliang, I don't eat this meal today, I have to go back to get my ID card, or you eat first, I have to go back to get my ID card! ”
Before Bao Liang came back to his senses, Li Chen and Liu Cunliang all left like a gust of wind. Bao Liang was stunned for a minute at the empty dining table, and then gradually came to believe that this might be true. Liu Cunliang and Li Chen may have really made a fortune. How much should the first prize be, millions? The moment this number popped out of Bao Liang's mind, he himself broke out in a hot sweat.
Li Chen is missing.
For three days in a row, neither Baoliang nor Liu Cunliang could find Li Chen, his mobile phone was turned off, the door of his residence was locked and sealed, and he went to the nightclub where he worked, and the people in the nightclub also said that he had not seen anyone for three days. Liu Cunliang went to find Fei Fei, and Fei Fei said that she had long since stopped working in Li Chen's nightclub, and there was no contact between her and Li Chen.
Bao Liang was just wondering about Li Chen's "evaporation", he was not as hot as Liu Cunliang. The lottery ticket that Liu Cunliang and Li Chen bought together won the grand prize of 600,000 yuan, which was redeemed immediately, and the money was withdrawn by Li Chen alone. Liu Cunliang believes that he spent 20 yuan to buy 10 lottery tickets, and Li Chen spent 10 yuan to buy 5 lottery tickets. It is not clear whether the first prize scratched by Baoliang is from Liu Cunliang's ten or Li Chen's five, so the 600,000 prize money should be distributed according to the proportion of their respective contributions, that is: two-thirds of Liu Cunliang and one-third of Li Chen. But Li Chen used his ID card to withdraw the money and then disappeared, and he was suspected of being alone. Bao Liang comforted Liu Cunliang and said, no, Li Chen and you are brothers who have been worshiping since childhood, we have sworn by cutting our fingers since we were ten years old, we have shared blessings and hardships, we cannot be born on the same day, but I wish to die on the same day, life and death, blessings and disasters have been agreed for a lifetime, Li Chen must be happy to drink too much and get drunk where has not woken up from a dream.
Bao Liang is more concerned about the use of this money. He hoped, or pleaded, that Liu Cunliang could talk to Li Chen and take out 50,000 yuan to redeem Fei Fei from Lao Qiu. Although he no longer wanted to see Fei Fei, the thought of Fei Fei and dangerous people like Lao Qiu mixing together, Bao Bao's conscience was always uneasy.
Liu Cunliang said: Don't talk about what to do, as long as you can find Li Chen to get the money back, everything is easy to discuss.
At that time, they didn't know - maybe Liu Cunliang secretly estimated it - Li Chen had taken the train back to Jianning on the day he got the money. After a night of cheering with the whole family, he has decided to use the windfall to buy down a restaurant of a distant relative. The restaurant is in a good location, near a wharf on the bank of the Jianhe River, where boats are moored and there is an endless stream of diners. It's just that the storefront of the restaurant is in disrepair and can't be graded, and once you get the capital investment, the return will not be too low.
Owning your own industry and being a real boss is the lifelong dream of many Chinese. Chinese have always lacked dreams, nor lack of diligence, what is lacking is this first pot of gold!
Liu Cunliang only learned on the phone with his family on the fourth day that Li Chen was not drunk, nor was it the other extreme assumption he had made - where he was robbed and killed, but that he had returned to Jianning with the huge sum of 600,000 yuan in clothes.
After Liu Cunliang talked to his family, he immediately closed his small shop in the night market and rushed back to Jianning. Before leaving, he had a phone call with Bao Liang and scolded Li Chen for being ruthless and forgetting his righteousness. Liu Cunliang's anger on the phone made Bao Liang silent for a long time, thinking that his relatives and friends from childhood to adulthood have almost all fallen apart now. He was suddenly enveloped by an unknowable state of impermanence, feeling that the day was dark, and the human heart was uncertain, what good things could last long? In the vast sea of people and the chaotic world, who else can be trusted and relied on?
The more doubts about life, the more fragile the soul, the more I longed to have relatives, the more I missed my parents and sister, and the small courtyard of his house on the bank of the Jianhe River and under the hills of the young man.
What he misses the most, what keeps him awake at night, is Zhang Nan!
After Liu Cunliang left, Baoliang was very lonely and very lonely. That kind of loneliness and loneliness is not idleness and boredom, but a kind of panic and loss from the heart. He sometimes tries to dial Zhang Nan's mobile phone, and as in the past, the mobile phone is either turned off or a "little secretary", and there are no surprises and accidents.
I don't forget how long it took, but he unexpectedly received a phone call from Li Chen. Li Chen did not directly answer Bao Liang's questions on the phone - about the bonus, about the dispute between him and Liu Cunliang. He only said that he wanted to talk to Bao Liang in person, and he hoped that Bao Liang could go back to Jianning as soon as possible, and that he would pay for all the carriages, horses, and accommodation expenses.
Bao Liang did not leave immediately. Three days later, the unit took the exclusive rest of the unit, and he took the morning train back to Jianning.
The one who came to pick him up at the station was not the expected Li Chen, but Li Chen's father. Li Chen's father drove a three-wheeled motorcycle that looked like he usually used to buy groceries, and took Baoliang directly to his home. When he arrived at Li Chen's house, Baoliang learned that Li Chen was recuperating in bed, with gauze wrapped around his head and black blue in his eyes.
Chatting carefully, Bao Liang was really taken aback, the scars on Li Chen's head and face were actually Liu Cunliang's masterpieces. Liu Cunliang is weak by nature, and it is really elusive to be able to attack Li Chen, who is much stronger than him.
Li Chen and Liu Cunliang, brothers who have been worshipping for ten years, are now turning against each other; The two families of Liu and Li, neighbors who have been adjacent for 20 years, are also like fire and water. They have already fought more than once, Li Chen injured Liu Cunliang's father, and Liu Cunliang injured Li Chen himself. The public security came forward to mediate unsuccessfully, and the Liu family had already filed a complaint and sued the Li family in court, which was accepted by the court. Both Liu and Li are looking for lawyers, determined to carry out the lawsuit to the end.
The purpose of Li Chen's invitation to Bao Liang to Jianning was to ask Bao Liang to be his witness to prove that the lottery ticket he had scratched that day was indeed one of the five lottery tickets that Li Chen had bought, and to ask Bao Liang to meet with his lawyer. The focus of the controversy in this lawsuit is who bought the lottery ticket that scratched the jackpot, who bought the lottery ticket, and who should naturally belong to the 600,000 yuan prize. The two sides of the lawsuit must have their own opinions, and the third party who was present at the time was only Bao Liang, so Bao Liang became an important witness for both parties. In addition to making a financial wish, he also told Bao Liang that he had recently heard some news about Bao Liang's sister and brother-in-law, and if Bao Liang agreed to testify for him, he could transfer the news for free.
Bao Liang asked: What news?
Li Chen said: It must be very valuable news, you have to promise me first, and I can tell you.
Bao Liang said: I can only prove that I scratched out the prize for you, and I don't know who bought the lottery ticket. You don't mark it yourself, put fifteen lottery tickets on the table, and who knows whose own.
Li Chen said: So to put this matter bluntly, I beg you, you have to agree to testify for me, and the lawyer I asked will teach you in detail how to say it. If you promise to help today, I can tell you where to find your sister today!"
Bao Liang was bored for a long time, Li Chen stared at his mouth, and Li Chen's family, old and young, stared at his mouth deadly. But the mouth has been tightly closed, and there is no trace of air.
Finally, Bao Liang opened his mouth and said: I won't look for my sister anymore.
That day, Baoliang resolutely declined the hospitality of the Li family and did not eat at the Li family. He ate a little casually in the street, and at dusk he climbed over the wall again into his old home. The courtyard was a little hazy with the setting sun, and each scene that came into view one by one looked like an old yellowed photograph, and there were some oil paintings that were heavy. There is also an old bed in his sister's bedroom, and Bao Liang used to huddle on the bed with his sister when he was a child, talking and laughing. Now I think about the feeling of childhood, sitting on the bed with my back against the wall, watching the dust fall on the wall, listening to the creaking of the bed frame, from here through the open door, you can also see the withered weeping vines in the courtyard, which are moving with the low wall, and are getting cold in the embers of the sun.
When the sun sets, the alleys outside the courtyard begin to come alive as usual, and the smoke of cooking carries the aroma of each family's food to the narrow sky. In the noise of the stove near and far, Bao Liang heard a bang, which seemed to be outside the door of his sister's bedroom, so clear that it was close at hand. Then he saw a backlit figure appear in front of the half-open window of the bedroom, and the figure climbed into the room from the windowsill, patted the dust on his hands, and cried out weakly:
"Baoliang!"
It's Liu Cunliang.
Bao Liang's attitude towards Liu Cunliang is the same as that towards Li Chen, knowing it with reason and moving it with affection. He hoped that Liu Cunliang and Li Chen could give up their past suspicions and reconcile as before. Instead of arguing in court, it is better to sit down calmly, talk about it as brothers. How many brothers like us in this world who have not been separated for ten years, and how many friends can we make in this life? Liu Cunliang said Baoliang, your words are indeed right, I am willing to shake hands with Li Chen and make peace, as long as he gives me my share, and does not give two-thirds and one-half, it can be regarded as a statement. Baoliang you know how long I bought a lottery ticket, at which point I bought it, and how many tickets I bought at one time, I have researched, so my winning this time is not accidental, it is the accumulation of long-term experience and luck. You also know that Li Chen usually doesn't buy lottery tickets at all, and occasionally follow me to buy a few just to have a good time, he bought a total of three or four times less than fifty yuan, and swallowed the 600,000 grand prize while I went to the toilet, do you say that he still talks about a little brotherly righteousness, and is it still a friend of life and death! I went to him to reason with him, and he injured my dad, and I couldn't let anyone else rob him and make peace with him as if it was okay. If he doesn't pay back the money, we will fight this lawsuit to the end, and we will have to fight it to the death. Bao Liang, you are my brother and his brother, I do not ask you to go to any side, but only ask you to speak a fair word and uphold justice.
Bao Liang said: I can only tell the truth about what I saw that day, and I can't prove which of you bought the grand prize. If you know that you can win the jackpot sooner or later, why don't you hold your urine for a while and go to the toilet at that critical moment, and since you know that the lottery ticket you bought is instant redemption, why don't you bring your ID with you? If you can't get this money back, it's all your own fault, and you're destined to suffer a careless loss!
Bao Liang scolded Liu Cunliang with tears on his face, and he begged Bao Liang with tears on his face: Bao Liang, I am willing to listen to how you scold me for hurting me, as long as you can tell my lawyer how much lottery tickets I bought that day, even if I didn't recognize you as a brother in vain. If you can say that the lottery ticket you scratched out was given to you by me, and our whole family will remember your great kindness for the rest of our lives, and you want to give Fei Fei 50,000 yuan to redeem herself, I am also 100 willing, 100 in favor!
Bao Liang was silent for a long time, not wanting to look at Liu Cunliang's red eyes anymore. He let out a long breath of stuffiness in his chest, and said in a muffled voice: I will take the evening train back to the provincial capital tonight, and I will not go to see you if I did not promise to see Li Chen's lawyer. If the court summons me to be a witness in the future, I can only tell the truth, as I just promised. You are all my brothers, so I have to be just as righteous to you.
At night, when the street lights were just lit, Bao Liang walked out of the alley of his house alone and walked to the brightly lit street, where the bus he was taking drove again in front of the million-dollar restaurant, and there was a lot of traffic in front of the restaurant. He unexpectedly saw Li Chen's father at the passenger entrance of the train station, and he helped Li Chen as if he had been waiting here for a long time, and came to see him off.
Li Chen's father said: "We specially invited you here, and we picked you up at the station, so we should also come to see you off when you go back." ”
Bao Liang thanked him, but he pushed back a handbag handed by Li Chen's father, and he vaguely felt that it contained bundles of money. Li Chen's father insisted on giving it, saying that this is nothing, even if you are invited to come over. Bao Liang resolutely refused, saying that I could bear the cost of the road without much money, Li Chen was my eldest brother, and I came to see him as a matter of course. When the two pushed around, Li Chen stepped forward and pulled his father away.
He stretched out his arms and hugged Bao Liang, and said, "Good brother, I know it's hard for me to be like this for you. My parents have suffered all their lives, I just want them to live comfortably, I just want to do a little bit of filial piety as a son. ”
Bao Liang said: "Liu Cunliang also has parents, and he is not rich, and he also wants to do his filial piety for his parents. Of the three of us brothers, I am actually the only one, and I am the most unfilial. ”
Bao Liang also hugged Li Chen, then turned around and walked towards the station. Li Chen called him behind him: "Baoliang! Bao Liang stopped, but didn't want to turn around. He only heard Li Chen's voice behind him a little distant, as if he would be swallowed up by the noise around him if he didn't listen casually.
"Baoliang, your brother-in-law has a boat that is still running freight on the Jianhe River, and that boat is called 'Qianglong', which is a big barge. If you want to find it, you can look for it along the Jianhe River, and the barges on the Jianhe River all have names and surnames, and if you want to find them, you will definitely find them. Do you remember, it's called the Dragon! ”
