Chapter 229: Choice

After a little flurging, I understood that Liao Shangzhou had something to say, and it was just a reason to accompany me.

"Little brother, you are a good person, you have helped my family so much, I don't know how to thank you." Sure enough, before he had gone far, Liao Shangzhou's words box opened.

"Needless to say, I'm just doing what I need to do within my ability, and I don't need to say anything thankful." I smiled softly.

Liao Shangzhou slowed down his pace, looked at me and said, "Little brother, for you, this may not be a big deal, but for my family, it is a lot of kindness, so you don't have to be polite, thank you as you should." ”

"If it weren't for you, my girl wouldn't know what to be like now, and we will never have the opportunity to see her again and talk to her so much, so you are really my family's benefactor."

"Well, since you say so, I'm not welcome, and I'll accept your thanks." I smiled lightly, everyone has already said this, and if you twist and pinch it, it will really be hypocritical.

To say that this man is more rational than a woman many times, the most intuitive thing is that after meeting with his dead daughter tonight, Liao Shangzhou's wife completely collapsed, seeing that a disease is inevitable, and it is difficult to recover after a while, and although Liao Shangzhou is also sad, he has never lost his mind, and his brain is not completely occupied by grief.

In the final analysis, what men carry on their shoulders and think in their minds is destined to be more than women.

"But how so? I'm not just doing this to help Yuting. After thinking about it, I said softly again, but in order to take into account Liao Shangzhou's feelings, I didn't say it directly.

Liao Shangzhou sighed, then looked at me and said, "Little brother, I already know the situation, that's why I said that you are a good person, if you are handled by another gentleman, it is very likely that things will not have such a good result as they are now." ”

Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh, and at the same time, with sadness in his eyes, looked in the direction of his daughter's grave, and took it back for a while, and while looking at the road and moving forward again, he said to me: "Little brother, you have nothing to do with my girl's affairs, and you can stay out of it, but even so, you still take such a big risk, do so many things, and completely accept and show mercy to my girl, but those of us who are parents only know how to act rashly and impose our own will on our children, Didn't even think about how they felt. ”

"Now that I think about it, if I hadn't been so ruthless as a father, my girl probably wouldn't have ended up like this at all...... So in the end, it was my father's hard-hearted heart that forced my daughter to death......"

I sighed to myself, not knowing what to say.

After complaining to himself for a while, Liao Shangzhou got out of his self-blame, looked at me and said: "We are already clear about the situation, so we have no opinion on the matter of moving the grave, but we have a request, I want to discuss it with you first, little brother." ”

When I heard that I had agreed to move the grave, the last stone in my heart suddenly fell, and then I asked, "What is the request?" ”

Liao Shangzhou stopped, looked back at me carefully, and replied, "We want to take our daughter home." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned.

Take home? Move Liao Yuting's grave back from here?

"Yes, little brother, you have also seen the situation, Yuting is in very bad health, since Yuting is gone, she has been crying for three days, and even showed the idea of suicide several times, this time I saw Yuting with your help, I guess I will not be able to let go of it anymore, so I thought, why don't you just move Yuting back for burial, so that when her mother misses her, she can often go to see it." Seeing that I didn't react, Liao Shangzhou said in a heavy tone.

I couldn't help but be a little speechless for a moment.

With such a reason, it is understandable to move Liao Yuting's grave back, but will the Pan family agree?

No matter what the actual situation is, at least on the surface, Liao Yuting has married Pan Guanghai and become a member of the Pan family, and now her mother's family wants to move the grave back, even if it is just for the sake of face, the Pan family will not easily agree.

Since it involves the face of the two families, I am an outsider, so it is naturally not appropriate for me to participate in it.

But can I really not get involved?

Apparently...... No.

"Uncle Liao, I can understand that you have such thoughts, but such a big matter still has to be discussed with the Pan family, and I can't help as an outsider, even if I promise you, I don't count at all." How can I not know that Liao Shangzhou told me about his intentions first, but I am not sure what kind of psychology he came out of to have this idea, whether he already knew about Pan Guanghai's Gu, so he could only play Tai Chi first.

After glancing at me with a complicated expression, Liao Shangzhou said: "Little brother, I know what you said, and this matter must be known to the Pan family, the reason why I told you first is to ask you for a favor and persuade the people of the Pan family to agree with me to take the girl back." After all, that's how things are, and we don't want to make things too stiff. ”

I couldn't help but be stunned again.

What he said was to let the Pan family know, not to discuss it with the Pan family.

This shows that Liao Shangzhou has made up his mind, no matter what attitude the Pan family has, he will definitely move Liao Yuting's grave back. Communicate with me first, just to let the Pan family have some bottom in their hearts through me, knowing that there is no room for negotiation in this matter, so they simply agree to this matter, so as not to make themselves unable to get off the stage.

This is tantamount to wanting me to be a lobbyist, but no matter what kind of attitude the Pan family will have after knowing Liao Shangzhou's thoughts, it is not appropriate for me to open this mouth, the Pan family agrees, and I won't think about it too much, if I don't agree, I can't discuss, I will not be a person inside and out.

"Little brother, you are a good person, I know that doing this will make you embarrassed, but please see that it is not easy for us to be parents, especially for the sake of Yuting's mother, just do us a favor." Rest assured, as long as you are willing to help, I will not let you suffer, nor will I embarrass you. Seeing that my face was embarrassed, Liao Shangzhou said again.

"That's it, little brother, as long as you are willing to help talk to the Pan family, I ......"

"Okay, Uncle Liao, you don't have to say it anymore." Seeing that Liao Shangzhou seemed to be about to open his mouth to promise benefits, I hurriedly interrupted him, and my heart began to feel a little uncomfortable.

Let me fall to the Liao family's side and help persuade the Pan family, it already makes me in a dilemma, if I take the benefits of Liao Shangzhou to talk about this, it will be even more obvious that I am a person who forgets his righteousness.

No matter what, I am still a member of the Li family, and the Pan family is not only a neighbor, but also more or less related, so no matter from what point of view, I should speak to the Pan family.

To put it bluntly, things have come to this point, although Pan Guanghai is the one with the greatest responsibility, and it is difficult to escape the blame, but the Liao family is not without responsibility at all.

Only Liao Yuting is truly innocent, because of their selfishness, they paid for their own lives and those of their children.

I don't think there's any point in delving into what is right and which is wrong. Liao Shangzhou wants to move his daughter's grave home, I can completely understand, but if the Pan family, especially Pan Guanghai, disagrees, I don't think it's too much, and even deserves it.

Unless Liao Yuting has no feelings for Pan Guanghai at all, and is completely affected by the Peach Blossom Gu, she will marry Pan Guanghai, if this is the case, then it is naturally a different matter. But the fact is that Liao Yuting has feelings for Pan Guanghai, if Liao Shangzhou was not so hard-hearted at that time and respected his daughter's wishes to some extent, things would probably not be the way they are now.

Therefore, whether I plan to be a lobbyist for the Liao family or not, even if I do it in the end, I hope that I will do it for the sake of the overall situation, rather than being driven by interests and taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

"That's it, my thoughts and attitude, I will convey your thoughts and attitudes to the Pan family on your behalf, so that they can have a bottom in their hearts first, but how they want to think about it, it's not up to me to influence, after all, I'm still an outsider, and I don't have much weight in talking about this kind of thing." It is not advisable to refuse completely, even if Liao Shangzhou gives up, since I know his thoughts, I will definitely let the Pan family know, so after thinking about it for a while, I said to him.

Privately opened his mouth to discuss with me, what Liao Shangzhou wanted was naturally not just as simple as me helping him pass on the word, but also knowing that my actual words in this matter had a certain weight, which could completely affect the decision of the Pan family.

So, even though my words were tantamount to rejection, he didn't intend to give up easily.

"Little brother, I don't want you to make decisions for the Pan family, I just hope you can be considerate of us and help us say a few words in this matter, please see that Yuting's mother is in poor health and can't let go of her daughter day and night, can you agree to think about it? Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, even if we were at fault before we became parents, but Yuting is always innocent, and it is too pitiful for her to be buried alone in another country, don't you say? ”

I was slightly stunned, then frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "Since I talked about Yuting, I think ...... Shouldn't she respect her own wishes in this matter? Before confirming her thoughts, should she not arbitrarily assume that this place must be a foreign country for her? ”

Liao Shangzhou couldn't help but be stunned, and his face began to be a little embarrassed.

I shook my head and sighed.

has come to this point, this man whose living conditions are obviously quite good, still does not have the slightest recognition of Pan Guanghai. Of course, even if you don't approve of it, you still don't seem to understand at all where your fault is, everything is only according to your own wishes, and you don't think about what your children think at all.

Seeing that he couldn't find anything to say for a while, after thinking about it, he said: "That's it, I always feel that where to leave the body, you have to respect Yuting's own ideas, none of us can decide for her without authorization, anyway, you can talk to her in person, no one can fake." ”

After a slight pause, I looked at Liao Shangzhou and said, "If she wants to go back, then no matter what, I will definitely help you persuade the Pan family and cooperate with you to transport the body back." But if she wants to stay here, we'll respect her decision, don't you think? In short, I can assure you that if you stay here, every Qingming, every New Year's festival or something, there will be someone to fill the soil and hoe the grass, and there will be no one to take care of it, and if you want to pay tribute, you can come at any time, and there will be someone to entertain you, and you will not be lazy. ”

Although I was still very reluctant in my heart, I had already said this, and Liao Shangzhou couldn't find anything to say for a while, so after a moment of silence, he had no choice but to agree.

"Since you have agreed, then let's hurry up, it just so happens that Pan Guanghai is still in Yuting, how she chooses you can know at the first time, and I can also be a witness for you."

I went up the mountain again, along the canal to the mountain bay, just saw the location of Liao Yuting's grave, the extremely dim flashlight that came over, and found that Xiao Qinghe and the white-faced scholar who came back from me, so they greeted me, and saw Liao Shangzhou with me, and immediately cast a questioning look.

"It's okay, he's just afraid that I'll be bored walking alone and come back with me, what about Pan Guanghai? Are you still talking to Liao Yuting? "Because I still can't be completely relieved, I sent Liao Shangzhou's family back before, and Xiao Qinghe stayed with the white-faced scholar.

Hearing me ask, Xiao Qinghe no longer paid attention to Liao Shangzhou, looked at me and said, "No, I haven't spoken for a while, and the man's mood has stabilized a lot, and he is currently in a daze, not talking, and refusing to leave." ”

"Okay, I'll go over now." I didn't speak anymore, so I called Liao Shangzhou, who became a little uneasy because I was talking to the "air", and walked to the grave, not surprised that Pan Guanghai was reluctant to leave.

Coming to the grave again, Pan Guanghai was still squatting, the position we were in when we left, even the posture did not change much, the chicken's nest-like messy hair, has been completely wet by the fog, a body of yellow mud, the face is indescribably white, seeing me come back, he raised his head like a puppet, looked at me sluggishly, and then continued to be in a daze.

"Dad, why are you back again, my mother, is she okay?" At the same time, Liao Yuting also asked Liao Shangzhou with some doubts.

"Tingting, dad is back, it's ......" Liao Shangzhou was about to tell me directly, seeing that I signaled him with his eyes not to worry, he hurriedly stopped and said: "It's nothing, Dad is just a little reluctant to you, so I came back to see it, your mother has rested, it's not a big deal, you don't have to worry." ”

Seeing that Pan Guanghai was very cold from head to toe, just like ice cubes, the situation was already a little bad, I didn't dare to delay too much anymore, I dragged him up from the ground, attached it to my ear, and explained the purpose of Liao Shangzhou and I coming back together, and after making sure that he had understood, I looked at Liao Yuting and said: "Yuting, in fact, I came back with your father because of one thing, I want to hear your own opinion......"
