Chapter 164: Old Things
The old house has not been renovated yet, and the entire floor belongs to their Mu family, at that time, the grandfather was in the factory on the forest, and he saw that he had divided this house all his life, not big, but not small, and it was very crowded to install more than a dozen people in the Mu family.
Later, the money was poor, and the wall next to the house was built, and four rooms were divided.
The eldest is one of Mu Ming's family, the second is the second aunt's family, and later sold the house to marry a foreign person, the third is also an aunt's family, after selling the house, he changed to a big house and lived with his son, and the fourth is Mu Chu's family, such a small house, three bedrooms and one living room, living Mu Chu's parents, Mu Chu and Mu Kai, and two old people.
At that time, the family conditions were not bad, my grandfather had a pension, and my father worked outside, leaving early and returning late, and his income was considerable.
Later, her father had an accident, and her grandmother took away her father's compensation, and not long after, her mother took Mu Chu to remarry Mu Kai.
And this house, Mu Chu bought it from his grandfather before leaving.
Who would have thought that at this time, Mu Ming would still come to ask for a house.
Although her mother rarely came, most of her grandmother's expenses after her illness were Mu Chu's, and it was not Mu Ming's family who took care of her grandmother here.
Mu Chu sighed again, got up and went to the bedroom facing the door, which was also the largest bedroom, and there were two black and white photos hanging on the wall facing the door, one was her grandfather, and the other was her father.
Her father died five years after being separated from her grandfather, and the photo was hung up by her grandmother.
The photo is very old, covered with a thick layer of dust, but you can still see the two people smiling on the photo, the two men who are the best to Mu Chu in their lives.
"Grandpa, Dad, I've come to see you."
Suddenly, Mu Chu burst into tears.
She crouched on the ground and cried.
For more than ten years, in the past ten years, Mu Chu has done everything the Mu family can do instead of these two men who went early, but she didn't get anything.
The Mu family, his own home, even his closest brother failed to protect it.
"I'm sorry."
Mu Chu was extremely helpless.
"Mu family, I did my best. But Mukai is innocent. ”
……
In the tavern.
As soon as Ling Cheng entered the door, two women surrounded him.
"Yo, isn't this the famous Ling Dao, why do you have time to come here today, you haven't been here for a long time."
Xiao raised his eyebrows, know?
Ling Cheng winked at Xiao, "Let's go in, the drinks here are not bad." ”
Xiao Wei nodded abruptly and followed Director Ling Da swaggering in.
And then...... Two women also followed behind him, "This little brother, I haven't seen it before, is it the first time I've come, it's Director Ling's friend?" ”
Xiao Wei was a little restrained, although he had not experienced this situation less, but in fact, there were still very few things to be rewarded, he nodded unnaturally, "It's okay." ”
Ling Cheng glanced back at him and smiled, "Scared?" ”
"No, I'm not used to it."
"What's not used to it, you don't work often?"
"It's okay, I don't go out often. Hmm, huh...... Two beauties, I don't need any other services, I'm here to drink. ”
When the two women heard this, their faces turned ugly, but they still followed Xiao Yi inside.
Ling Cheng couldn't help but smile and walked in front, seemingly ambiguous with the two women, but in fact, he still kept a certain distance, and not a single hair was touched.
"Box bar, good wine, a bottle. Go ahead! ”
Ling Cheng dragged a few bills out, stuffed them into a woman's bag, and went in by himself.
Xiao Wei immediately chased after him and closed the door before the woman could follow.
Ling Cheng had already sat down with a light car, turned on the TV, and dialed peanuts to eat.
Xiao Yi sat down and began to sigh, "Does Director Ling come often?" ”
"Well, it's fine. Anyone who comes here knows each other. You eat something, I didn't eat much at home just now. ”
Ling Cheng leaned his head back on the sofa and scratched his hair, a little sleepy.
He did come often, but not to drink and socialize, but to sleep.
At that time, Mu Chu often traveled on business, and Ling Cheng went back to the house without anyone after being busy with the crew, and Ling Cheng himself was not able to fall asleep, so he came here when he walked around and stopped, and over time it became a good place for him to enter Mengxiang for a short time.
Can ...... now He glanced up at the decoration here, and there was a change again, it had been several months since the last time he was here, and the hype around Fan Menghuan had only just begun.
"It would have been better if things had passed sooner. It is most comfortable to sleep in my wife's bed at home. Ling Cheng muttered with emotion.
Xiao Wei smiled and said his thoughts on Mu Kai's case.
"Mu Kai is too impulsive, but he shouldn't go to jail, this matter looks very simple, but why is it so complicated, I think, there should be someone else behind it, right?"
Ling Cheng's eyes moved, he looked up at the roof, and quietly listened to Xiao Cheng continue.
"The relationship between your Ling family and the Su family is not good or bad, I have heard about it somewhat, it's just ...... Director Ling, have you thought about it, your own affairs have affected many people, but the most injured person is always Mu Chu, isn't this a little unfair? ”
Ling Cheng sat up straight, and looked Xiao Wei, who looked harmless to humans and animals, up and down several times, "What else do you know?" ”
"I don't know, just speculation. It's easy to figure out. Look, I'll give you an analysis. When Su Jing came, there was an accident at Mu Chu's family, and then Wanbaoku, that is, Mu Chu's stepfather, left the Mu family, and he didn't know where he went, he liked to gamble, I guess he owed gambling debts outside, but I didn't see him have any debt collection doors, I suspect that someone here is a banker, and he is encircled. And then...... Hehe, at this time, some people began to approach Wanbaoku, saying that they were lawyers to help with the lawsuit. In fact, Wan Baoku didn't want to file a lawsuit, he was just very angry, after all, he couldn't survive without the Mu family. But the time has come for things to retreat, and if you want to retreat, you can't retreat, so you can only hold on. The last time you went to the gambling house with Mu Chuduan, there has been no news until now, and you have also met several people who have a good relationship with Wanbaoku, and they all have the same caliber, which can explain ...... Hehe, this group of people has become chess pieces in the circle, and the target is not Mu Chu or Mu Kai, but Ling Chengyou. ”
Ling Chengjing ate half a plate of peanuts, raised his head and drank a sip of red wine, the taste was strange, not the taste of wine but in his heart.
Ling Cheng knew, but no one had ever said half a word, not even Lin Lao.
But there are not a few estimates that can see the key to this matter, but only Xiao Yi said it in front of him.
Ling Cheng felt that Xiao Wei seemed to really like Mu Chu.
If it were Wei Shuo, even Ye Zhuang would not say this blatantly.
When he opened his mouth, he offended not one or two.
"And then?"
Ling Chengyou opened a peanut, threw the peanut into his mouth, and ate it with a click.
"And then? Then see if you want Mu Chu to be good, see if you have the ability to hold the Su family and the Ling family in your own hands with the strength of one person, if you can't do it, hehe, Mu Chu will always leave you, don't think about being together in this life. And I can only sit back and enjoy it. In fact, it is a bit of a villain's heart, but this is the case, and there is no way for Director Ling not to admit it. I want to say that if Director Ling is really for Mu Chu's good, it is better to solve Mu Kai's lawsuit as soon as possible, otherwise Mu Kai will go in, Mu Chu will collapse, I am worried that her personality will be sidelined. Mu Chu ...... Not easy. ”
Xiao Wei didn't know much about Mu Chu's family background, but he listened to Wang Keke more or less, and with his own understanding of Mu Chu's character, he could guess how difficult it was to live in the past.
"Director Ling, for you to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, cheers!"
Xiao Wei smiled, raised his glass, and drank it all.
Ling Cheng hesitated for a while before drinking all the red wine, and poured another glass himself, the strange taste was gone, in exchange for the strong and mellow aroma of the wine.
He smacked his tongue and smiled, "Thank you!" ”
The two big men only watched TV, no nutritious entertainment programs, and occasionally drank a glass of red wine, and there was no superfluous communication.
And Mu Chu has finished crying and cleaned up at home.
She doesn't want to sell the old house, but it is indeed very valuable, and it is roughly estimated that this three-bedroom house of more than 100 square meters will be sold for more than 20 million.
Mu Chu really wanted to sell it and change to a bigger studio, but when he thought that this house was sold, there would be nothing left of the Mu family.
In the innermost room, Mu Chu found the homework book he had written a long time ago, with the solution of candles on it and an empty matchbox next to it.
Someone must have lived here, and the overhead light was broken, so light a candle.
But......
Mu Chu wondered, who would live here, this was a small room for miscellaneous items before, a bed was barely squeezed down, and there was no place to stay.
She bent down and began to tidy up, the floor was a mess, and there were many pots and pans on the spring bed.
Bite!
Something rolled out.
The tin can is rusty, and the pattern on it is no longer clear.
Mu Chu used an awl to pry it open for a long time, and inside was a ball of paper.
The paper is old, yellow, brittle, and can be torn with a little force.
Mu Chu turned on the table lamp outside and read the words on it by himself.
The font is beautiful, but the writing is very scattered, as if it is a diary.
"I'm so hungry, I want to eat. The old mother is tired, isn't she? ”
"Hey, if you are disabled, you are dead, and your heart is dead."
"I hope Xiao Xi and Xiao Kai don't hate me, just let me die."
"My mother said that Yanhong likes other men, especially after my accident. Then like it, she just has a happy life. ”
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving. It's just that the money, the house, and the one left for Xiaoxi can't see it. The old mother is eccentric, otherwise my car can be sold for some money for Xiaoxi to study, and the child is good at reading, I am happy. ”
Mu Chu trembled, tears fell on the paper, and he withdrew his hand in shock.
She panicked and looked for a tissue to come out and wipe off the tears on the paper little by little, for fear of wiping off the words on it.
Behind a stack of paper was a yellowed deposit book, six pages printed in succession.
The last page is the final amount, three hundred thousand. The date was exactly two days before my father's death.
There was a card in it, "Leave it to Xiaoxi Xiaokai to study, this is all the money of grandpa and me." ”
"Why, why is there this thing, stumped...... My dad didn't go to the hospital in the end, but took the compensation and waited at home to die, huh? ”
Mu Chu stood up in disbelief, her limbs trembled, and she fell to the ground without standing firmly. Suddenly, she was unconscious from the pain.
"No, no, I don't believe it, no...... No way. ”
Mu Chu ran back into the utility room and pushed away the contents of the spring bed, and at the bottom was a cotton quilt that had been worn out and molded.
"No ......"
Mu Chu's eyes were black and he fainted.
