Five hundred and ninety-one)

A gust of wind blew, and the trees made a "rustling" sound, but the green pines standing in the cemetery, like soldiers standing guard, let out a whimper.

It turned out that the silence of the cemetery was so terrible.

Ye Wenyu looked at the old and confused Uncle Wang, and comforted him: "If you think so, what about your two children?" ”

Uncle Wang shook his head sadly, and said in a snarling voice: "They will go to college soon, and in the future, they will find a job, find a girlfriend, get married, and buy a house, I am so incompetent, I can't help them." Uncle Wang's voice was full of powerlessness.

Ye Wenyu can feel the helplessness of being a poor person, that is, you try your best, but you are powerless to change anything.

Her father is such a man, and her stepfather is also such a man, it's not that he doesn't work hard, but that it doesn't help if he tries hard.

Uncle Wang continued in a hoarse voice: "So I live, and for the children, I am just a burden, I am really sorry for them!" ”

Uncle Wang's voice was full of deep self-reproach, and he said sadly: "After your mother leaves, I won't clean up the house." I can't cook, so my two kids don't come back much now, and I'm very empty now. I often come here, see your mother, talk to your mother, and if I sit next to the tombstone, I feel that she is still alive and by my side. ”

Ye Wenyu was stunned when she heard it, she was a little scared in her heart, her stepfather's words seemed to be the language of another world, and she was actually full of an indescribable yearning for death, she was really worried that Uncle Wang would not be able to think about it one day, so she looked for a short time, but she didn't expect that her mother's death would hit Uncle Wang so hard.

She thought about it, expressed the doubts in her heart, and said to Uncle Wang: "Uncle, have you ever thought that it is impossible for your mother to commit suicide. ”

Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang nodded, and suddenly raised his voice to her and said: "In the past six months, I have been thinking about this matter every day, I think how could she commit suicide, although I have no ability, but I am honest and honest, treat her wholeheartedly, she has also said in front of me countless times, like me as a person, marry me, because I am a good person, I have no other ideas, and I don't make other requirements, so she will definitely not jump off the building and commit suicide because she dislikes me for not having the ability to make money." ”

Uncle Wang's eyes were red, and there was an unacceptable expression on his face. Ye Wenyu thought bitterly that it had been half a year since her mother passed away, and Uncle Wang still couldn't accept the fact that her mother committed suicide by jumping off the building.

It turned out that the stepfather didn't believe that his mother would commit suicide, Uncle Wang's eyes were red, and he continued: "I always hoped that she would come to me to give me a dream and tell me the reason why she committed suicide, but wait, wait, she never gave me a dream, I never understood, Xiaoyu, you think, if your mother committed suicide, then I am a murderer, I forced her to commit suicide, my heart, it's uncomfortable!" ”

There were tears rolling in Uncle Wang's eyes, Ye Wenyu immediately squatted down, today, when she took this flower pot from the roof, it was packed in a black plastic bag, and she kept carrying it by her side along the way.

She took out the empty flower pot from the bag, put it in front of Uncle Wang, and said to him, "Uncle, look-"

Uncle Wang was stunned, looked at the flower pot carefully, and asked her, "This is your mother's flower pot?" ”

"How do you know?"

Ye Wenyu was a little surprised and glanced at his stepfather.

A gust of wind blew across the cemetery, blowing the corners of his stepfather's clothes and Ye Wenyu's long hair. The tall grass around the cemetery had withered and yellowed, and they fell to the ground.

Uncle Wang smiled, with a trace of warmth on his face, and he said to her: "Of course I know, because I bought this flower pot online with her, she likes to grow flowers, but the flowers and pots in the flower and bird market are very expensive, and she is reluctant to spend money, so we discussed going to buy flower pots and seeds online, and go to the countryside to dig the soil, so I know that this flower pot is hers, this pot is very cheap, on average, two yuan a piece." Where did you get this from? ”

"The rooftop. I came home today, and when I saw that you weren't home, I went to the roof to see Mom, and I wanted to see Mom, jump—" At this point, she stopped, her voice choking. She inhaled, closed her eyes, let the pain pass, and then calmed down, and said, "I wanted to see where she jumped off the building, and I found this flower pot, and there were about a hundred on the roof." ”

Uncle Wang nodded and said, "Yes, your mother likes to raise flowers, and she planted the flowers on the roof." ”

Ye Wenyu looked at the flower pot and said to her stepfather: "So Uncle Wang, do you think my mother will commit suicide, she raised so many flowers before committing suicide!" Later, she raised her voice and her voice became intense.

How could a man who planted hundreds of potted flowers on the roof commit suicide on the roof of the building? She had spent countless mornings and evenings here, and the rooftop, full of flowers, had become her private garden.

Mother is the kind of person who lives in the cracks of the stone and strives to grow and blossom, and she has a tenacious and optimistic weed spirit.

Uncle Wang shook his head and said to her: "The day before she committed suicide, she also said that the flowers upstairs ran out of water, she went to water them, and told me that she planned to buy some more pots next year, plant some vegetables, what cucumbers and tomatoes, and so on. In this way, there is a garden, a vegetable garden, and you can save money for buying vegetables every day, which is a lot of living expenses. After not having to buy groceries, she could buy herself some beautiful clothes and ask me if I agreed, and of course I agreed. When Ye Wenyu heard this, she stood up like a hot person, her eyes were wide open as a teacup, and the suspicion in her heart became even heavier, she put the flower pot back into the bag, and Uncle Wang also stood up with her.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, like a companion army, with the sound of grass and trees, as if the undead were singing.

Ye Wenyu took out her wallet, took out all the cash on her body, a total of eight hundred yuan, she stuffed it all into Uncle Wang's hand, and said to him: "Uncle, I'm going back, I didn't buy anything for you this time, this money, you can use it to buy something delicious." You have to cheer up, the two younger brothers still need you. ”

However, no matter what, the stepfather refused to accept her money, so Ye Wenyu had to forcibly put the money in his clothes pocket, turned around and left in a hurry.

The stepfather stood in place, looking at her distant back, his eyes red.

Ye Wenyu was on her way home in the car when her mobile phone rang. I took it out and looked at it with a heavy heart, and found that it was a call from Lin Tingfeng, at this moment, it was getting late, and the twilight was like a light veil around the surroundings.

Her hands trembled. The death of her mother resurfaced in her heart.

Probably because she came out for a day, Lin Tingfeng was worried about her, so he called her. Looking at the fast-beating number on the mobile phone screen, Ye Wenyu was a little nervous and a little scared, his mother's death didn't seem to be a suicide, then, he killed him, and his mother's jumping off the building seemed to be really related to Lin Tingfeng.
