Chapter 67: This Is the Truth?
An Yanxi approached Cheng Liting and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's better for us to leave first and ask others." She was worried that she would irritate the old man, who was already in poor health.
"No one in this village knows more than the chief." Cheng Liting looked at her with low eyes and said lightly.
"But ......"
As soon as An Yanxi's words came out, he heard the village chief suddenly say, "Alas...... In that case, I'll tell you all about it. ”
An Yanxi was overjoyed and smiled, "Thank you, village chief." ”
"Lift me up." The village chief raised his hand, his body trembled, An Yanxi hurriedly stepped forward, carefully helped the village chief up, picked up the pillow and let him lean on.
Murakami sighed, shook his head silently, and his thoughts began to drift back to the past, "Xiao Yong's parents died when he was four years old, and since then, the people in our village have taken turns to take care of him. Eight years ago, Xiao Yong's child got married, married to a recognized beauty in our Xujia Village, Liu Yang. ”
He paused, his eyebrows full of regret, "If I knew that there would be something later, I would definitely strongly oppose the marriage of this young man." Even if they really want to love each other, they can't give up. ”
An Yanxi listened quietly, his gaze resting on the village chief's wrinkled face.
Liu Yang became pregnant soon after they got married, and the whole village was not happy with them at that time, so she took good care of Liu Yang, and she was also very careful to protect her child. But, God is so blind......" Speaking of this, the village chief burst into tears, and his voice trembled, "What a small family, and God has allowed them to give birth to a baby girl with congenital heart disease for so long." ”
"Congenital heart disease?"
An Yanxi was startled, the pupils in his eyes dilated suddenly, and then quickly regained his calm appearance, "This should be a catastrophe for Xu Kaiyong and his wife." ”
"Yes, the catastrophe, they are not rich in the first place, barely enough to make ends meet. At the beginning, everyone persuaded Xiaoyong to give up the child, they were still young and could have another one. Moreover, even if you have money, you can't cure it. However, Xiao Yong's child is stubborn, he just doesn't want to, whoever persuades and who is anxious, and he will cure the child if he says anything. ”
An Yanxi's heart swelled with complicated emotions, Xu Kaiyong used to be such a gentleman......
"They sold out the land at a low price, and sold the only room, but the money was only enough for the poor child to last a week. A little more than a week later, they were kicked out of the hospital in the provincial capital because they could not afford to pay for the rest of the medical bills. The villagers were very sympathetic to Xiao Yong's plight and donated generously, but the money donated by our big guys was not worth mentioning compared to the cost of the treatment that the child needed. There's no way, no one is rich, and there is no extra money after helping once, and then no one mentioned donating money again. But even without anyone's help, Xiao Yong was unwilling to give up. The child was anxiously waiting for surgery, but Xiaoyong had no choice for such a large amount of money. ”
The village chief suddenly laughed, he touched his beard, "Fortunately, God finally opened his eyes, I don't know where a rich man appeared He came to investigate near our Xujia Village, I heard others say that our village is the most backward and poor village, he came to see, and then he also heard about Xiaoyong." I remember that he was very touched at the time, saying that he was a father of two children and could understand his persistence. ”
"And then?"
An Yanxi couldn't wait to ask, the village chief's speech was too slow, and she couldn't wait to know what was going on.
"Then, then the rich man asked his subordinates to go to the hospital in the provincial capital on the spot to pay all the expenses needed by the child in one lump sum, and not only that, but she also gave Xiao Yong 100,000 yuan to buy their house back and live a good life."
"How come I haven't met such a rich and good person."
An Yanxi said sincerely, and after finishing speaking, he didn't forget to look at Cheng Liting who was expressionless on the side.
"Alas, what if they met, their little couple still hasn't lived." The village chief said helplessly.
Hearing this, An Yanxi was not a little surprised, if their little couple had a good life, she would not have the opportunity to appear here now.
"What happened again?"
Cheng Liting, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
An Yanxi paused for a moment and lowered his voice, "It turns out that you are also very curious about this story." ”
"Liu Yang was going to divorce Xiaoyong after a while, all of us didn't expect it at that time, and we couldn't figure it out, they didn't have to worry about the child's medical expenses, and they still had a surplus in their hands, so why did they want to divorce. The people in our village took turns to persuade Liu Yang, but in the end they still did not succeed in persuading her. She eventually left the village with only a cloth bag. She hasn't been back since, and no one knows where she went. ”
"What about Xu Kaiyong? What happened to him? ”
An Yanxi asked suspiciously, what she actually wants to know more now is where Yang Liu went, why she divorced suddenly, she didn't divorce when she was not helped before, but wanted to divorce after everything got better, which is too strange.
"He hung himself in the house during that time and no one could see him except for the occasional canteen to buy some food, until a month and a half later his child recovered from his condition, he regained his strength, we all thought that he should end this matter from now on, but we never expected that a helicopter came above our village a few months later, and Xiaoyong and his child picked him up."
"Didn't he say anything to you before he left?"
"No, I didn't say a word, I just hugged the child and walked away without looking back."
The village chief lowered his head and sighed silently.
"Village Chief, thank you for being willing to tell us this."
An Yanxi said softly in a soft voice, she could see that the village chief was in a bad mood now.
"Can I ask you how long Xiao Yong will be locked up if he is caught?"
When the village chief raised his head, there was a glimmer of hope in his cloudy and gloomy eyes.
An Yanxi pursed her red lips, and Shuer pulled out a smile, "Village Chief, don't worry, at most two years, my mother is not seriously injured." ”
The second half of the sentence made An Yanxi's heart ache.
"Ahem, ahem...... That's good, I really hope to see Xiaoyong before I die, that child is what I watched grow up, a child who is willing to endure hardships, what happened after leaving Xujia Village. ”
"Village Chief, don't think about this, only after finding him can we solve the mystery." An Yanxi paused and continued, "Village Chief, do you have a photo of Liu Yang?" Straight face. ”
Hearing this, the village chief fell into deep thought, he thought for a while, his eyes lit up, "I remember, I should have a picture here, which was taken when I applied to the above for the subsistence allowance for Xu Kaiyong's family, and the rich man appeared the day before it was handed over for review, and there was naturally no need to hand in that application, so I kept it." ”
"Great, can you give it to us now?"
An Yanxi raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was almost two o'clock, and they had to go down the mountain as soon as possible to reach the bottom of the mountain before dark.
"Go to the East Room and open the bottom drawer and bring all the contents over."
The village chief whispered to the little boy.
The boy said yes and ran out.
After a while, he ran back with a stack of bags in his arms.
An Yanxi couldn't wait to take the things from his arms, squatted on the ground and began to rummage.
"These are the application materials for the subsistence allowance of that year, and Xiaoyong's family is in it."
Because several years have passed, and the information has been damaged to varying degrees, An Yanxi's heart is beating rapidly, for fear that the hope he finally saw will be extinguished.
A few minutes later, she saw a photo that made her jaw drop in shock.
Xu Kaiyong and his wife Liu Yang, no, it should be said that it is with Yang Qingqing!
An Yanxi held the photo tightly and slowly stood up, the emotions on her face constantly changing.
"This is, Yang Qingqing?" Cheng Liting narrowed his eyes, his gaze stayed on the photo in An Yanxi's hand, on which Xu Kaiyong and Liu Yang were sitting together, wearing coarse cloth clothes, the two of them looked embarrassed and haggard, but they could still recognize that the woman in the photo was the current Yang Qingqing, he sneered in his heart, and said, "This woman is really amazing, but she has been reborn in a few years." ”
"She's been with my dad for five years, and my dad hasn't even noticed her past."
"What if, your dad finds out and just doesn't care?" Cheng Liting said his thoughts, when a man falls in love with a woman, he will tolerate everything that she wants, which he feels very much now.
"No, it's impossible, you don't know my dad's character, you definitely can't accept a woman who is married for the second time and has children, and she is a woman who does everything possible to hide her identity and get close to him."
"You, what are you talking about? Is it poplar? ”
The village chief looked at the two people beside the bed suspiciously, and the Yang Liu with his memory was not such a woman.
"Village chief, it's nothing, we still have to go first, please give me this photo, it's very important to me."
"Can you tell me why you want this picture? What is the rationale? ”
The village chief asked seriously, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were full of puzzlement. He'd heard so many things in an hour that he didn't understand.
An Yanxi looked at the village chief with pleading eyes, "Village chief, I'm sorry, I can't tell you the reason, I beg you, can you let me take it away?" ”
After she finished speaking, she was very worried, her eyes were fixed on the village chief's face, worried that she would see an expression she didn't want to see on it, and she was afraid that the village chief would disagree. After all, she couldn't tell why she wanted this picture.
"Girl, it's not that I won't give it to you, it's just that Liu Yang and Xiaoyong are still from our Xujia Village after all, although they may have made a big mistake, but if you use this photo to do anything unfavorable to them, I don't want to."
The village chief straightened his back, his hoarse voice was full of firmness, and the sickness seemed to disappear a lot at this moment.
An Yanxi pressed his temples and felt a headache.
"Village Chief, if you agree, I am willing to fund the construction of a new primary school in the village, and in addition, I have noticed that the water in the village seems to be very inconvenient, and I can also fund you to use running water."
Cheng Liting said unhurriedly, his voice was flat, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
His words fell into the ears of An Yanxi and the village chief, but they were enough to shock them.
"What do you say? Are you sure? ”
The village chief suddenly came to his senses, a smile filled his old countenance, and his originally dull eyes brightened.
"Walk the talk." It's still a light tone.
