The young woman poured a glass of water for Gu Hui, who thanked her softly and smiled at her.

The old woman said to the woman, "I will talk to this little girl alone, and you will take the child in and take shelter." ”

The woman's eyes were very moving: "Mom......"

The old woman persuaded again, "Go, be obedient." ”

The woman glanced at Gu Hui a few times, and finally carried the child into the inner room and closed the door.

Seeing that everyone had entered, only Gu Hui and the old woman were left in the living room. Gu Hui opened his mouth and said, "Aunt Huang, I'm here to ...... today."

"I heard you're the person in charge of that site project?"

The old woman suddenly interrupted Gu Hui's words.

"I heard that they call you Mr. Gu, you can take charge of yourself at a young age and become a big boss, it's amazing......"

Gu Hui's heart was sour, and he didn't know how to answer.

Tears slid from the corners of the old woman's eyes, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, and said, "Last night, Chengzi took his brother's body back to his hometown overnight, and he will be buried in his hometown. I was afraid that the children would not be able to bear the long-distance bus, so Xiaoli stayed behind to take care of me and the children. Xiaoli said that you will find out and give us an explanation, I know you will definitely give it, but since you are here today, I also want to talk to you about it......"

Gu Hui frowned slightly, she was actually not afraid of confronting those strong people in her life, but she was even more afraid of facing weak people like the old lady, afraid that their compassion would touch the softest string in her heart.

I will think of my own painful experiences in the past, just like this moment. The helplessness of the old lady in front of her poked straight into her heart, making her heart half sour and cold, half guilty.

She pursed her lips: "Auntie, you say, I listen." ”

The old woman glanced at her, she was wearing an old-fashioned tunic and was very thin. As if there were only bones left in her body, she didn't know if everyone was like this when she was old, and the old lady was shrouded in melancholy and sadness.

She said: "I have two sons, the eldest son Huizi and the younger son Chengzi, you have all met. ”

"My family came to Shanghai more than 10 years ago to work hard so that my two children could receive a better education. We can't afford to buy a house and can only live in this kind of place. The child's father also worked on the construction site, and at that time he could still earn some money, barely enough for the family's expenses, and he also had an accident on the construction site a few years ago and died......"

Speaking of this, her whole person became even more sad, as if she couldn't lift it in one breath, she reached out and stroked her chest, and calmed down.

"Keiko doesn't like to study, and since she was a child, she likes to learn design from her father, saying that she likes to build a house, and that she wants to build a new house for me to live in when she grows up. Later, when his father went, he dropped out of school and went to work on the construction site. I often tell him to change jobs, but he always doesn't listen, saying that we are not educated, so we can only do these hard jobs......"

She choked up: "He handed me the money on time every month, saying that he must provide for his brother's college education." He slept on the construction site and came back to see me once a month. Every time I came back, my hands were blurred with flesh and blood...... I feel sorry for him, and he always tells me, Mom, I'm fine, I will definitely be able to support you and my brother. ”

Later, he met Xiaoli at a supermarket near the construction site, and Xiaoli was an authentic Hunan girl. She is down-to-earth and hardworking, and she is filial to me, such a good girl, she married us Huizi without even a wedding and a ring. I insisted on going to work in the supermarket when I had a child, and I took a year off until I had a child. ”

Her whole body was like asthma, panting hard.

"Chengzi graduated from university and was going to look for a job, saying that he would go to suffer with his brother first, work for two months and then go to a down-to-earth job, I thought everything was going to be fine, who really wanted to ......"

The light from the window was faint, but it was enough to illuminate the helplessness and grief of the old lady in front of her.

The blood on Gu Hui's thin lips faded, and she sat there motionless. No one can remain indifferent to such a tragedy and turn a blind eye.

The old woman couldn't cry silently, and gently beat her chest: "Evil, my Huizi, such a down-to-earth and hard-working person, I didn't expect any happiness in this life, and it was gone...... Let me, a white-haired man, send a black-haired man......"

"I must have done a lot of sin in my last life, to kill my husband, and to kill my son, how much suffering and hardship are coming to me, I am not afraid of death, my Huizi is still so young, his life has just begun......"

She covered her eyes and cried, almost losing her voice.

She suddenly got up from the sofa, knelt on the ground, bowed to Gu Hui, and kowtowed to her: "I beg you, little girl, I am willing to exchange my life, I just want my Huizi to come back...... I will die for him, I will bear all the hardships and hardships for him, I will die for him......"

Gu Hui hurriedly got up from the sofa, and also knelt down opposite the old lady, holding her with both hands, trying to pull her up.

"Auntie, don't be like this, no one wants to see such a thing happen. Natural and man-made disasters, no one predicts, people cannot be resurrected after death, you must mourn and change, so that your son's spirit in heaven will rest in peace. ”

The old lady grabbed Gu Hui's hand with trembling hands and cried: "My Huizi, my Huizi, my son......"

It seemed to be a sudden storm, and the air was full of oppressive dust, Gu Hui empathized with her grief, and gradually turned red.

She said, "Auntie, don't be sad, I will definitely give you an explanation." Rest assured, I will find out what happened anyway, and I won't let your son die in vain, so please trust me. ”

The old lady wiped her tears and said, "I heard Xiaoli say that he was introduced by someone else to take this job. Why would my Teruko do such a dangerous job? Did someone deliberately harm him, ah......"

Gu Hui shook his head desperately.

"No, auntie, your son is very kind, a kind person like him is kind to anyone, and no one will harm him."

"yes." The old lady couldn't stop crying. "My Keiko has been so kind since he was a child, he never bullied his classmates, never scolded people, never got into fights...... Filial and obedient, he is ...... well-behaved."

She stabilized her emotions, and raised her eyes to look at Gu Hui again: "Little girl, Chengzi's emotions may have been out of control that day, pushing you and causing you trouble, I'm really embarrassed......"

Gu Hui's heart was sour, and he almost cried directly.

She is an orphan who has never experienced the separation of life and death between her family.

Before coming here, she thought that maybe this family was like the young man who made trouble that day. It's all mercenary, and maybe it will have to be solved with more money.

But this is not the case, no matter how much interest there is, it can't be worth the family's ordinary happy time.

She suddenly remembered Louis, when she died, although Gu Hui was sad and sad, she was never able to empathize with the grief of Xu Lianluan and Jessica.
