Chapter 14: Suicide (1)
On the third day after the incident, Zheng Sange called me and asked me for a bank card number, I asked him what he was going to do, and he said that the eldest sister gave him the money, and this money naturally has a part of me, and he can't earn this money without me.
I thought about it carefully, so I didn't say politely to him and then sent him my bank card number, an hour later, the mobile phone showed 10,000 yuan to the arrival of the text message, I sent Zheng Sange the money has received a text message, Zheng Sange did not give me back.
After receiving the money, I didn't tell my mother about it, although my mother reluctantly agreed to me and Zheng Sange's normal relationship, but I didn't want him to know too much, after all, my mother still thinks that my father's disappearance is inseparable from Zheng Sange, so I thought about it for a long time and planned not to tell her about it first, and then talk about it when the family needs money in the future.
On the fourth day after helping my eldest brother-in-law exorcise evil spirits, my eldest sister called me and said that my eldest brother-in-law had been discharged from the hospital, and there was no major problem with his body, and he would be fully recovered in another week, and said that he would thank me well when his eldest brother-in-law recovered.
I perfunctorily said on the phone that people are fine, thank you or not, and then talk about it, the eldest sister laughed a few times and said that it is necessary to thank me, otherwise their family will be uneasy.
In fact, because of the old lady's incident, I have a very bad impression of the eldest sister's family, and I don't want to have too much interaction with them, so I perfunctory the eldest sister on the phone, after chatting for a while, the eldest sister asked me if the snake bone on the construction site was taken away, I was asked a little inexplicable, asked him what was going on, the eldest sister said that after helping the eldest brother-in-law to exorcise the evil spirit, the workers on duty on the construction site heard the loud bang, so they took the flashlight and went out to see, and found that the snake bone had disappeared.
After finishing speaking, the eldest sister said that she would leave it alone, anyway, now the unlucky snake bone is gone, and the construction site has restarted, and after a few perfunctory chats, she hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, I called Zheng Sange and wanted to ask about the snake bone, but I don't know what happened, Zheng Sange actually turned off the phone.
Whatever, where the snake bones go has nothing to do with me, where do you like to go.
The days that followed seemed to go back to the way it was before the old lady's accident, and there was some business in the store from time to time, although it was not leisurely but definitely not busy.
Occasionally, I took the roast chicken two pot head to the hospital to find Lao Wang to drink two sips, and I also asked about my dad and our family, Lao Wang gnawed on the chicken leg and said that he didn't know about my family, my dad saved him back then, if it wasn't for my dad, he might have died somewhere.
I asked Lao Wang how my father could save him, and Lao Wang waved at me and said about it
"You lad, don't be so inquisitive like an old girl, come and drink"
After speaking, he picked up the cup and drank all the wine in the cup, obviously he didn't want to tell me about Lao Wang and my father, and I couldn't just stop asking him if he didn't say it.
I went to my grandfather's house on the weekend, and I wanted to inquire about the family from the side, and Zheng Sange told me that my grandfather had disappeared for a long time before, and my grandfather must know the ins and outs of this matter.
When I arrived at my grandfather's house, the nanny opened the door for me, and the old man was intently looking at a massage chair sold in the TV shopping, and when he saw me coming, he asked me to sit down and watch it with him.
I was a little bored, so I walked to the table in the living room and observed the causal clock on the table, the causal clock on my grandfather's house was at least twice as large as the one on Zheng Sange's car, and a thin layer of ash fell on the golden surface, and I gently touched the clock with my hand and it would swing with it.
I looked back at my grandfather, he was still watching the TV intently, I carefully picked up the clock and looked at it carefully, this bell is quite heavy, it is particularly heavy in my hand, it looks like it is cast copper from the material, I studied it for a long time and did not find anything special, so I put the clock back in its place.
Maybe it's just like what Zheng Sange said, it's just a proof of cultivators.
I sat back on the couch and asked my grandfather what the clock was for, and my grandfather looked at his watch and said it was five minutes and eleven o'clock.
My grandfather was deaf, I guess I heard what time it was, I moved to his side, stretched out my hand and pointed in the direction of the causal clock and asked him again, this will my grandfather can hear clearly, he got up from the sofa and walked to the causal clock, picked up the causal clock and asked me
"What do you ask me for?"
I walked over and nodded, and my grandfather shook the causal clock and said that it was just an ordinary ornament, and it looked good.
I kind of saw it, and my grandfather didn't plan to let me know about it, I asked my grandfather if this bell was called the causal clock, and my grandfather shook the causal bell in his hand and said with a smile
"What is the British bell and the American clock, this is our Chinese clock"
I was a little helpless by the old man and simply didn't ask, at this time the nanny had already prepared a meal, called me to eat with my grandfather, I helped the old man to the table, the old man looked at me and smiled and asked me to accompany him to drink, I said no problem.
I thought to myself that after drinking some wine for a while, I would ask the old man about my family, maybe if I was happy, I could tell me, and I could also get rid of my heart disease, to be honest, since Zheng Sange knew about my family's affairs, I have been wondering what is going on every day, and sometimes I can't sleep at night, I guess all kinds of possibilities, so that in the end, even I feel incredible when I have a big brain, and even aliens think of it.
Anyway, this matter has become a problem for me now, and I guess I will have to go crazy if I continue to speculate like this.
Since I didn't say hello in advance today, the nanny cooked vegetarian dishes mainly for the elderly, and my grandfather sat at the dinner table and complained to the nanny that his grandson came and there was no fish or meat, so he asked the nanny to get a few more hard dishes and drink two glasses with me.
The nanny asked me with my eyes if I wanted to go, I was busy saying that I didn't have to work, I came to see the old man chatting with him, and the nanny saw me say this and took off her apron and sat down at the dinner table.
I picked up my wine glass and clinked glasses with my grandfather and took a sip, and after eating a mouthful of food, I put down my chopsticks and told my grandfather that I had been more interested in the affairs of my ancestors recently, and asked him to tell me about it.
My grandfather laughed when he heard me ask this, and said that his ancestors had been dead for many years, and he couldn't even find a grave, and asked me why I listened to that, and I said that I was just curious to ask, and my grandfather took a sip of the wine glass himself, and looked at it with a smile after putting down the wine glass
"Eldest grandson, if you have the leisure to care about the old yellow calendar eight hundred years ago, you might as well consider your own affairs, you should tell me how you are looking for this object."
My grandfather said this I was speechless, I didn't expect my grandfather to wait for me here, I looked at the nanny and coughed a few times with embarrassment and ate a few bites of food, my grandfather picked up the wine glass and asked me to drink with him, I picked up the wine glass and touched the glass with my grandfather.
I seemed to see a hint of a triumphant smile in my grandfather's eyes, and I asked my grandfather behind my back when I put it down
"Grandpa, I heard that you disappeared for many years for no reason when you were young, where did you go back then?"
My grandfather adjusted the hearing aids and asked me to say it again, he didn't hear it clearly, I repeated what I just said, this time my grandfather heard it clearly, took a bite of food and threw it in his mouth and put down his chopsticks and said to me
"You said back then, I went on a trip, what Heilongjiang Hainan Island played a big circle, by the way, you just asked me that the clock on the table was bought when I was in Heilongjiang"
It's completely illogical, but I'm really speechless, it seems that this matter is much more complicated than I thought, and my grandfather didn't want to tell me at all, so I simply didn't ask, and I had a relationship with him.
After eating, I said that there was something in the store in the afternoon and that I would have to go back later, and my grandfather mysteriously called me aside to tell me
"Eldest grandson, I fell in love with a massage chair just now, and now I can buy it by calling 588, you gave me the money."
I thought my grandfather was going to tell me something important, but I took out 600 yuan from my wallet and stuffed it into him, and my grandfather happily walked to the phone and called TV shopping.
I took a taxi back to the store with nothing, and when I arrived at the store, I saw that Brother Jiu was chatting with my mother, and when I came back, Brother Jiu threw me a cigarette, I sat on the side and smoked it, and asked Brother Jiu where he got rich, Brother Jiu smiled and said that he just received the funeral of a rich second generation jumping off the building at noon today, and Brother Jiu said that the rich second generation handsome one was called a miserable, and he jumped from the 12th floor and fell into a mess of meat.
Brother Jiu is a typical Northeasterner, inheriting the language talent of most Northeast people, and under Brother Jiu's description, I seem to feel that the rich second generation who fell into meat is right in front of me.
I hurriedly interrupted him and said that I should vomit again, Brother Jiu smiled and didn't continue, my mother smiled bitterly and shook her head to find him the best set of shrouds and put them on the counter, Brother Jiu unfolded the shroud and looked at it and said that this material is not affordable for ordinary living people.
My mother smiled and said that he would give him a 20% discount, and the ninth brother nodded and put the shroud into the box, and said to me that he was free to drink and leave, and after the ninth brother left, my mother sighed and said
"You said that you really have the troubles of rich people, and you can't think about it when your young family is rich and powerful."
As soon as my mother finished speaking, my cousin walked in from the outside with a sad face, and my mother and I both saw my cousin's abnormality and hurriedly asked him what was wrong, and my cousin said that his college classmate committed suicide by jumping off the building.
I immediately realized that the rich second generation who committed suicide that Brother Jiu said just now was my cousin's classmate.
Because my uncle is now the leader of the urban management bureau of our city, and my cousin is also a veritable rich second generation, so my friends around me are either rich second generation or official second generation, but my cousin is not bad, and he has not cheated his father, except for occasionally asking girls to open a room online, he has no bad habits.
The cousin said that the classmate who committed suicide was called Zhang Jian, his college classmate and college roommate, his father is the chairman of the city's largest supermarket chain, Zhang Jian usually has a good relationship with him, a very cheerful child, yesterday suddenly jumped from his house without warning.
I asked my cousin Zhang Jian if there was anything he couldn't think about, and my cousin shook his head and said that Zhang Jian had a very cheerful personality and wouldn't think about it because of some messy things.
My mother and I comforted Brother Bantian, and my cousin sighed and got up and said that he was going to see Zhang Jian's funeral and send his good friend for the last ride, and then went out and left.
My mom and I were also in a bad mood by this incident, my mom sat at the counter and sighed, the atmosphere in the store was a little depressing, I walked outside the store and stretched and lit a cigarette, I carefully pondered what my cousin said just now, since the old lady incident and the subsequent series of events, I instinctively thought about all the things that happened around me to the ghost side.
I don't know what's going on, I remembered that day at the eldest sister's house uninvited Teacher Chang and the snake bone that disappeared on the construction site, I suddenly had a very bold idea, Teacher Chang is not a person at all, but a snake spirit that has been cultivated, and the snake bone on the construction site is Teacher Chang's.
Through what Aunt Yun said, coupled with what Teacher Chang said that day, I pondered carefully for a long time, and the more I thought about it, the more it was like this.
