Chapter 3: The Last Three
That day, I realized that He Zhi, who has always played the role of a good husband and a good stepfather, is actually played for outsiders.
Your mother Zhu Mei, I know her, she is a good-looking person who never wants to show her weak side to others.
That day, if I hadn't bumped into me, all of this would have been kept in the dark.
She said that He Zhinian, who seemed to be gentle and considerate, was actually a moody person.
When it's good, you feel like he's the most perfect person in the world.
When it's not good, you think he's a devil who is even more devilish than the devil.
Food, clothing, work and life, everything is required of your mother.
He especially can't tolerate your mother talking to other men, even if it's a work relationship between colleagues. If he finds out that your mother and the man have spoken to each other, it must be a secret storm.
I asked her why she didn't choose to leave, and that day, I was a little impulsive and let go of big words.
I said, "As long as you agree, I will immediately give up everything to take care of you two." ”
Zhu Mei disagreed, she was very honest, she said, she didn't mean that to me, and she wouldn't win people's love.
She didn't mean to leave He Zhinian, she said that she had enough of the kind of life that was chased by people every day to ask for debts, and she was afraid of poverty.
There is also a main reason, it is you, Xiao Mo.
She said, although He Zhinian has a weird personality, he is a hundred times better for you than Xiao Ze, a biological father.
Her own decision, I can't influence, I can only choose to respect. But I told her that I had been behind her back.
The evening of June 25, 2000, is a day I will never forget.
Before that, Miao Miao's mother and I were laid off from the factory one after another, and I didn't have any skills, so I planned to do something with your father Xiao Ze.
He Zhinian's power in Miancheng at that time was indeed big enough, because of the emotional dispute between Xiao Ze and Yun Xue, Xiao Ze had several problems in love and career.
So Xiao Ze decided to go outside, and at that time, a friend of his from out of town happened to have a good business introduced to Xiao Ze.
Because of financial problems, Xiao Ze went to the field alone, and I stayed in the base camp.
That night, the weather in Miancheng was a little hot, and the sea came to my house to drink, and Miao Miao's mother bought some pig's head meat and came back to drink.
Miao Miao went to bed early because she had a final exam the next day.
The two of us gossiped a bit too much, and we drank a whole case of beer and didn't think we had enough.
It was about 11 o'clock when Zhu Mei called me.
On the phone, her voice was quiet.
She said that He Zhinian was very abnormal that night, and when He Zhinian drove to pick her up from work during the day, a male teacher happened to come out of the school gate and said hello to her.
In the past, He Zhinian would definitely have lost his temper.
But that day, He Zhinian behaved as usual, or even better than usual. The kitchen made his specialty, scrambled eggs with rainbow persimmons.
After eating, the bowl was cleaned.
Zhu Mei was worried on the other end of the phone.
She said: "Jianjun, I'm afraid, really scared, I'm afraid this is a precursor to the storm. ”
I told her not to be afraid, and I rushed over at once, and if he wanted to do anything, I would never let him succeed.
For so many years, I have regretted why I drank that day. If I hadn't drunk too much, I wouldn't have overridden the bus and wasted so much precious time.
When I rushed to your house in a daze, it was He Zhinian who came to open the courtyard door.
I remember that night, the scent of the privet flowers in the courtyard was particularly good.
I asked He Zhinian, "What about Zhu Mei?" ”
His face was not very good.
"You don't look at what time it is, what are you doing with her at this time?"
There was a smell of rust in the aroma of privet flowers, and that smell made my heart chuckle, and I grabbed He Zhinian by the collar and asked him.
"Where's Zhu Mei?"
He smiled, and in the night, his white teeth glowed with evil spirits.
"She's watching TV on the couch."
I hurried inside, and of course I didn't feel at ease if I didn't see the safe Zhu Mei.
For so many years, that image had been in the deepest part of my mind, popping up from time to time and stimulating my nerves.
The lights of the hall were as white as a waterfall on the white floor tiles, and a pool of red liquid was like a blood-colored flower in full bloom, which was shocking.
The smell of alcohol in his body immediately turned into cold sweat and rushed straight to his head, and a gust of wind swept over the back of his head.
Instinct made me bow my head and avoid the wind. Looking back, the anti-light knife in He Zhinian's hand slashed in the air, and then turned his head and slashed at me.
He Zhinian is a businessman after all, born like a white-faced scholar, he is not my opponent.
In just two moves, the knife was in my hands, and he lay under my knees, unable to move.
Looking at Zhu Mei lying lifeless in a pool of blood, a wave of anger and sadness that burst out of my heart condensed into a huge force, alcohol made me lose my mind, and I asked him to pay for Zhu Mei's life.
The knife in my hand also lost control, I don't know how many knives I cut, in short, I screamed in my heart for each knife.
Why is fate such an arrangement?
When I came out of the courtyard, the clouds were over, and the night was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
I didn't know that there was a pair of eyes staring at me in the darkness all the time.
That person was Zhu Zhong.
Two days later, he called me and said he knew all my secrets.
If I want to keep this secret from anyone, unless I fulfill his requests.
At first, I actually despised his despicable behavior, killing people pays for life, and the big deal is death.
What made me hold back was because of Miao Miao, looking at her innocent smiling face, I lost the courage to die again.
Xiao Ze came back from out of town and brought good news, and he also got the first money remitted by the other party.
I borrowed money from Xiao Ze, he was really my best buddy, and without saying a word, he lent it to me.
I gave the money to Zhu Zhong and asked him to go as far as possible, and it was better not to return to Miancheng again.
Zhu Zhong kept his promise, and for many years after that, he was not heard from until that year, when he reappeared in my field of vision.
And at this time, you, who have been looking for the truth, also learned of Zhu Zhong's whereabouts. At this time, I almost lived like a winner in life.
Naturally, I would not allow my comfortable life to be ruined.
Huang Zhigao, he is the object of my bribe.
I was not short of money, and when he raised the price again and again, I satisfied him, and finally sold it for 250,000 yuan.
Two hundred and fifty thousand, bought me a few years of time.
Sooner or later, the debt will have to be repaid, and I'm not too late yet.
