Chapter 144: The Great Fire of the Year
Before, Lin Chu learned about his mother Gu Shu from Fu Tianyang's mouth, naturally he didn't hear him mention things like arson, and he didn't think that his deceased mother-in-law would do such a thing, so when he heard the discussion of these two women, Lin Chu didn't believe it at first.
However, the two aunts thought that Lin Chu didn't know, and said in more detail: "The fire back then was known to everyone, and later Gu Shu was afraid that the people in the village would be held accountable, so he quickly ran away with the rich kid, leaving his parents to live alone here, and she was really the most ruthless daughter." ”
Lin Chu was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know who spread this news, Tianyang's mother is definitely not that kind of person, have any of you seen it with your own eyes?" If you don't, it's not true. ”
However, they had already firmly established the fact that Gu Shu had killed people and set fires, and asked relentlessly: "Where is Gu Shu now?" Why didn't my parents come out to worship when they really died? ”
Lin Chu looked at them coldly and commented, and replied: "Tianyang's mother has passed away, you are judging a deceased person at will, is this the so-called truth?" ”
Hearing others accusing and slandering her mother-in-law, Lin Chuchu was very uncomfortable, so just as she was about to explain what happened back then, Fu Tianyang had already walked out of the room, stood behind her, and said indifferently: "Chuchu, you don't have to explain, for those who love to chew the root of their tongue behind their backs, the more you explain, the more they don't believe it." ”
Hearing this, the short-haired woman muttered: "It was originally Gu Shu's fire, of course you are her son, of course you don't believe it, why are you still talking about us." ”
The long-haired woman pulled over the short-haired woman, glanced at Fu Tianyang with bad intentions, and then left stupidly.
Lin Chu wanted to explain the events of the year, but he didn't understand why Fu Tianyang interrupted, and said suspiciously: "If we don't say it, Auntie will have been misunderstood by everyone, but if we say it, even if most people don't want to believe it, but Auntie's personality is here, there will always be people who will believe it, and there will always be a day when the truth will come out." ”
Fu Tianyang replied lightly: "At the beginning, you didn't understand my feelings, when I heard everyone slandering my mother, I was a thousand times more uncomfortable than you, but there is a reason why I choose to be silent now, because it is not yet the time, there will be a day when I will inform everyone of the facts of that year, and that day will not be far away." ”
Hearing Fu Tianyang's forbearance, Lin Chu thought that Fu Tianyang had been hiding some things about himself recently, presumably it was also related to his mother, and asked, "Tianyang, do you know that there are other truths behind that fire?" ”
Fu Tianyang nodded, looked back and patted her on the shoulder, and said softly: "Chu Chu, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will deal with this matter after a while." ”
Lin Chu was not at ease, and asked in surprise, "What is going on?" Why can't you explain it now, and why do you have to wait a while? ”
Fu Tianyang couldn't explain the reason for this, just because the matter was complicated, and it also involved the real culprit of the fire, and he still needed to wait for time to wait for the opportunity to dispatch, but he was not good at explaining the reason to Lin Chu now.
Fu Tianyang didn't say anything, just gave Lin Chu a deep look, and then hugged her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, as if this was the only way to inject strength into him.
Lin Chu sighed lightly, and didn't continue to ask, just said lightly: "I understand your thoughts, you have your own ideas, I won't ask too much, I just hope you don't bear it alone." ”
On the second day after Lin Chu and Fu Tianyang returned to Fuqiang Village, Zhang Yuanhang left Fuqiang Village for a few days because of the marriage of friends from other places, and did not inquire too much about what happened in the village.
A few days later, Zhang Yuanhang returned to Fuqiang Village, and he didn't know about Uncle Gu's death, but later some people in the village gossiped about Fu Tianyang and his mother, and only then did they learn that Uncle Gu turned out to be Fu Tianyang's grandfather.
Zhang Yuanhang was very surprised, like Fu Tianyang, such a vigorous and resolute figure in the shopping mall, his mother turned out to be a person from Fuqiang Village, thinking that Fu Tianyang had not explained this matter before, Zhang Yuanhang guessed that there was also Fu Tianyang's troubles.
When Zhang Yuanhang was about to go to Fu Tianyang's house, he heard several women at the door of his house talking about Uncle Gu's house again.
"You've all heard, haven't you? The boss Fu who helped our village build a road and a school turned out to be Uncle Gu's grandson, who didn't know what happened to Uncle Gu and his daughter back then, who would have thought that such a rich boss would be the son of that woman! ”
"I heard it, I heard it! The village and neighbors are all rumored that the fire was set by Gu Shu back then, I heard that the woman fell in love with the children of a rich family, and she had a conflict with Gu everyone, so she wanted to set fire to her biological parents! What a cruel heart! ”
"And then? What happened next? A young woman who had just married into Fuqiang Village asked curiously. 61
The middle-aged woman replied, "Of course I absconded for fear of crime!" I don't know where I went with that rich kid, anyway, this kind of woman will never go back to the village! Don't think that by her son coming back to contribute to the village, he will be able to clear her name for the big mistakes she once made! ”
Zhang Yuanhang really couldn't listen to the words of these parents, and he also intuitively felt that Fu Tianyang's mother was not that kind of person, so he reprimanded: "What are you talking nonsense about running out with your children without being at home one by one? Which of your eyes saw that the fire back then was set by Uncle Gu's daughter? Uncle Gu didn't admit it himself, it's good for you, you like to turn over these things about the rotten grains of old sesame seeds every day! ”
The middle-aged woman was suddenly scolded by Zhang Yuanhang, and asked a little confused: "What do you know?" The little fart kid poured out to teach us adults a lesson? Didn't that Boss Fu let you be in charge of the road overseer, what are you angry about? ”
Zhang Yuanhang was too lazy to care about such an uneducated woman, so he mocked: "Relying on the old and selling the old because of your age? Why are you embarrassed to talk about Boss Fu? Now they will say that when the new primary school is established, do you have the ability to let your children not go there? Don't you go down the same path we built in the future, right? ”
When Zhang Yuanhang mentioned these two things, he seemed to poke at the weakness of the middle-aged woman, and immediately blushed and said: "What's the matter with you!" We can do whatever we want! It's not a school you funded and built, how can you still manage us! ”
Although several women stopped her to avoid quarreling with gifts, Zhang Yuanhang still scolded them, and then did not listen to their rebuttals, and left the place of right and wrong of the women.
Zhang Yuanhang went to Lin Chu's house, originally wanted to inquire about Fu Tianyang's situation, but was pulled down by Lin Chu in advance, and heard her say with a smile: "I heard that you have been out of town for the past few days, it seems that you have come back today, it just so happened that I made a meal, just leave after eating here." ”
Zhang Yuanhang shook his head politely and said: "No need, I'll come and see you and leave, I didn't know what happened in the village before, if I hadn't listened to some aunts chewing their tongues, I probably wouldn't have found out that such an important thing happened in the village." ”
Lin Chu sighed and asked, "Zhang Yuanhang, the thing in your mouth should be about Uncle Gu and Tianyang, right?" ”
Zhang Yuanhang nodded and replied: "Yes, it seems that this matter is already a stone hammer, I was quite surprised when I heard it, it turned out that Mr. Fu is also from half of Fuqiang Village, but I came back late, and I didn't have time to pay a visit to Uncle Gu." ”
Lin Chu said: "It's okay, you just have this heart, after all, this matter has passed, Tianyang's grandfather has already left, there is no need to bring up the old matter again in the future, which will make Tianyang sad." ”
Zhang Yuanhang nodded, naturally he also understood what Lin Chu meant, he didn't want to ask about the truth of this, he just wanted to know about Fu Tianyang's mother back then, after all, there were a lot of rumors in the village, if those rumors were false, he had reason to have the backbone to refute those people directly.
At the dinner table, the three of them ate quietly, Lin Chu felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he casually chatted about some interesting things that happened when he was shopping for vegetables, but the two men did not reply like wood, and Lin Chu had no interest in continuing to speak.
After lunch, Lin Chu cleaned up the table and went to take a bath, leaving Fu Tianyang and Zhang Yuanhang in the living room.
Zhang Yuanhang said silently: "Mr. Fu, I ......"
Zhang Yuanhang opened his mouth, but he didn't know whether to continue asking, so he stopped talking.
What he wanted to ask, Fu Tianyang guessed it early in the morning, but he didn't say anything in advance, now Zhang Yuanhang has blurted out to ask, Fu Tianyang calmly replied: "Zhang Yuanhang, I know you want to get an answer in your heart, although I can't tell you the truth of the year now, but this truth is not what everyone said, but a shocking secret, I have been silent, just because the time has not come, but soon I will announce the truth." ”
Hearing Fu Tianyang say this, Zhang Yuanhang knew that he had no need to continue to ask questions, and wanted Fu Tianyang to do so many good things for the village, and he only had admiration and trust in his heart.
"Mr. Fu, I believe in you, I don't want to ask the specific truth, I just want to tell you, no matter what is spread in the outside world, I only believe the words that come out of your mouth, Mr. Fu."
Fu Tianyang said: "Zhang Yuanhang, I told you before, if you are willing to make a career, you will definitely achieve something, I am not wrong about you, you are a person who can achieve great things." ”
Judging from Zhang Yuanhang's words now, Fu Tianyang knows that he is not looking at the wrong person.
Hearing Fu Tianyang praise himself like this, Zhang Yuanhang smiled embarrassedly: "Among them, I am also a rural person, and I have no comparison with the boss, but I am willing to endure hardships and be patient, I will try to do a career in the future, and I will definitely live up to your expectations of me." ”
Fu Tianyang looked at him with admiration and said, "Very good, if you need help in the future, you can contact me at any time, I am willing to invest a sum for you." ”
