During his imprisonment, Yang Zhitu's wife and children relied almost entirely on Yang Zhihong's help.

originally thought that with this lesson, Yang Zhihong would change his past wrongs, but unexpectedly, after being released from prison, not only did he not change, but he became more and more serious, proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, except for business, almost everything else, his temper became more and more irritable, and he often beat and scolded his wife and children.

Within a few years, the wife couldn't stand it anymore and divorced and left with the children. Since then, Yang Zhitu, who has turned back into a single, has become a frequent visitor to the detention center, and there are always a few months a year when he spends time in it.

Three years ago, he somehow fell in love with a college student lady, but he no longer "entered the palace", and began to make a proper living, wanting to make a lot of money and live a good life with that young lady.

But how can big money be so easy to earn? Years of idleness have long made Yang Zhitu develop a lazy character, and he has no patience and perseverance at all, and soon his original form is revealed, in order to maintain the "quality of life" of the fox spirit, he simply broke the jar and broke it, and lived a life of pulling the east wall to make up the west wall and building up debts.

It didn't take long for Yang Zhitu to offend everyone who could borrow and deceive, and no one would believe him anymore, and he owed a lot of usury. The college student saw that he had no oil or water to squeeze, so he simply took advantage of his inattention and ran away, and it is said that he soon followed a big boss.

Yang Zhitu became a bachelor again, but he failed to live a "happy" life where one person fed the whole family without starving, and was woken up by debt collectors every day when he slew, and he was even dreaming that he was being collected for debts.

Accustomed to laziness, how could he stand this kind of torment, and after hiding for a while, he simply didn't do anything, ran away to avoid debts, and since then there has been no news, and it has evaporated.

Yang Zhitu patted his ass and avoided it, but he suffered the elderly mother and Yang Zhihong, and the meager family background quickly paid off all the debts for him, which was far from enough. In the past two years, in addition to supporting his mother, his income has basically been lost to Yang Zhitu, and he has been blocked by creditors in three days.

Shi Laosan, who met that day, was a person who put money in the underground casino, Yang Zhitu had already owed more than 300,000 yuan with interest, Yang Zhihong couldn't afford to pay it back at all, and although his brother was not a person, he always had to be a brother, and he had to pay back his relatives and friends first, so he had no choice but to play a scoundrel, and he could drag it out.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is indeed unfortunate for the family to have such a loser.

Seeing that Yang Zhihong was already a little drunk, I thought about it and asked: "Uncle, I don't think you talk like a rough person, you are quite cultured, in your era, you should have a way out after finishing college, why did you fall into a casual job, and you haven't started a family for so many years?" Your brother is no longer successful, and the impact in his early years should not be so great. ”

"Don't call me uncle, although I am a lot older than you, I am not ambitious in my age, and I am not a hundred years old in my ambition, so call me Brother Yang."

Seeing that he was refreshing, I didn't squirm, smiled and called Brother Yang, and poured the wine again.

"As for you saying that I don't look like a rough person, yes, I did go to college, but what's the use of that?" Yang Zhihong raised his wine glass and drank it all, and after exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, he smiled bitterly, "If time can be repeated, I would rather not go to college and work, so that I will not meet her, and she will probably not ...... Die? ”

I sighed inwardly.

Speaking of which, there is no need to have any doubts, he is Xiao Qinghe's boyfriend back then, and later because of her death, Yang Zhihong, who was finally fired from the unit because of the conflict with the murderer.

I already know these painful past events through Xiao Qinghe, but Yang Zhihong and I have never known each other in our lives, even if we have met confidants for a long time, there is no reason to meet for the second time, so I will tell me all the things that are pressed in my heart, not to mention that those things are also related to human life.

He wasn't afraid to cause me to misunderstand and arrest him as a murderer who had been absconding for many years?

So I smiled as if I didn't understand, and said, "Brother Yang, are you drunk?" You are so kind, how can human life be involved? ”

"No, I'm not drunk, and things aren't what you think."

Yang Zhihong shook his head, and the light in his eyes was strangely cloudy and clear: "The person I'm talking about is a girl, a very beautiful girl, at that time...... I'm her boyfriend and I'm ready to get married. ”

"And then?" I asked.

"Then she suddenly disappeared and was never seen again." Yang Zhihong smiled dejectedly, and the light in his eyes began to become strange: "In fact, for so many years, I have not been able to prove that she is no longer alive, and I have always felt in my heart that she is still alive, but she is destined not to belong to me...... But in the last few days, I can't believe she's still alive, and that's why I'm bothering you. ”

"What's going on?" I was a little puzzled.

It turned out that Yang Zhihong, although he suspected that Xiao Qinghe had been killed by Wang Zhiqiang, but because there was no evidence, he couldn't help this person. In addition, he couldn't accept this fact in his heart, and after being expelled, he gradually let go and began to believe that his beloved was still in the world.

For many years after that, he never stopped looking for Xiao Qinghe's whereabouts, even if he never found anything, and later he was entangled in family affairs and had to give up, and he did not let this glimmer of hope be disillusioned.

It's not so much that he believes that Xiao Qinghe is not dead, but that he has always lied to himself, and for so many years, he has always carefully woven and maintained this broken thought, so as to make himself better.

Now, however, the thoughts are shattered.

The night before she met me, Yang Zhihong, who had long since stopped dreaming of Xiao Qinghe, suddenly dreamed that she was wearing her favorite blue floral dress on a white background, standing in the sun and smiling at him. In the background, it was the glass factory that was still thriving at that time.

So early the next morning, he went to a glass factory that had been absent for many years, but it had already been a barren place, and there was nothing else to gain.

As he woke up from the movie-like footage, he found himself parked in front of a hot pot restaurant.

After many years of dependence on his old mother, he no longer eats out after work, first, his elderly mother needs to be taken care of, and second, he has developed a thrifty habit engraved into the bone marrow. But that day, for some reason, almost without any hesitation, he walked into the hot pot restaurant.

Then we were met.

For the next three days, he would dream of Xiao Qinghe every night, but the glass factory in the dream had become the ruins of the current one little by little, and his beloved gradually lost his sunshine and became dark and cold, as if he had fallen into darkness little by little, and his eyes were infinitely sad.

He believed that Xiao Qinghe was still in that place, but he was no longer alive.

Yang Zhihong didn't know that there were brave and unscrupulous reckless men, and he knew that since the situation back then, he couldn't help Wang Zhiqiang, and now more than 20 years later, even if he finds the bones of his beloved, there is very much evidence to convict Wang Zhiqiang.

For a while, he couldn't figure out what to do, let alone who to talk to about this full of words.

It wasn't until he got off work and inadvertently walked to the door of the hot pot restaurant that he suddenly remembered that he met me here three days ago, and after some struggle, he came over.

"I came to trouble you for no reason, and I said so much, I hope you don't mind." Speaking of the back, the light in Yang Zhihong's eyes has become crystal clear, and he smiled bitterly.

"No, since you are willing to talk to me about such a big thing, it means that you regard me as a friend." I also wanted to smile and say something to comfort this old man who had been miserable all his life, but I opened my mouth, but I really didn't know what to say.

I was sympathetic, but I couldn't just tell him what I knew, at least not yet.

Knowing that the beloved has been killed, but can't find where, knowing who the murderer is, but not doing anything, this kind of suffering is not something ordinary people can bear.

And he has endured it for most of his life.

After a moment of silence, I asked him, "What about ...... Can you still find that person? ”

Yang Zhihong raised his head, looked at me for a while, shook his head and smiled.

"Brother Yang, no matter how hard the days are, there will always be a time when the hardships are exhausted, and those who do a lot of evil will one day be retributed. God remembers what everyone has done, it's not that he doesn't report it, the time has not come. ”

After watching Yang Zhihong's thin back, disappearing little by little in the colorful city light and shadow, I took a deep breath and turned around and walked towards the store.

God's will cannot be violated, since God seems to have finally opened his eyes, let me meet Xiao Qinghe, who died tragically for more than 20 years, and after listening to her story, and then sent Yang Zhihong, who has suffered all his life, to me, then I will take care of this matter.

But I never thought that the final outcome would be ......

In the blink of an eye, the full moon banquet of the daughter that Sister Yun picked up arrived.

I originally thought that she was not married yet, and even if she didn't have to hide it, it wouldn't be too high-profile, after all, she still had to worry about family and worldly eyes. And to think of me as a "godfather", even if it's not a joke, I won't take it too seriously, after all, I just mentioned it on the day I accompanied her to the hospital.

As a result, she really did a big job, and on the day my daughter was discharged from the hospital, she solemnly talked to me about it.

She is not married, and I am also alone, as long as I have not started a family, I am still a child in my parents, and I naturally can't help but discuss such a big matter with my parents in my hometown.

Fortunately, after the age of twelve, my parents knew that I would never live like an ordinary person in my life, although both parties were not married, they became "godparents", no matter how you look at it, it is a bit strange, and finally readily agreed.

So on the day of the full moon banquet, I accepted the confession gift prepared by Sister Yun for her daughter, and received three big gifts from her on behalf of her daughter, giving back small clothes, shoes, hats and socks, bib and belly pockets and a silver bowl, and a long-life lock.

Sister Yun named her daughter Nuo Nuo. I promised my daughter that I would raise her as my own daughter and Miss Qianjin, I thought the name was very good, so I didn't name it again, but I only added my surname. Sister Yun didn't want her daughter to be chaotic in the future, and no one would interfere with her anyway, so she simply let her daughter follow my surname and no longer follow her.
