Chapter Twenty-Three: On the Clutches of Fate

Our family is very ordinary, the kind of family that really can't be described. A family of three, my father is a small production team leader in a small printing factory, which is a position that he has worked hard in the printing factory for more than ten years to get mixed in, and he can simply support our family. My mother is a small salesman in a small unit, and she doesn't mix well in the unit, but she is the boss at home, and my father and I can obey my mother in big and small things.

As for me, I'm even more ordinary, ordinary achievements, there is a trace of beauty in the ordinary (I'm very narcissistic, hee-hee), ordinary figure, ordinary personality, and I can't say any tricks. My parents didn't expect much from me, which is probably why I didn't pursue anything.

It's such an indescribable family, such a family that I thought was ordinary and ordinary to live a lifetime, because a phone call completely changed.

That day, I was in school as usual, and a phone call came to me, it was my mother, and I picked it up nonchalantly, and on the other end of the phone, my mother was sobbing and talking intermittently.

I let go of the phone I was holding, the phone snapped and fell to the ground, I only felt a buzzing tinnitus in my ears, I couldn't hear the voices around me shouting at me, my head was a little confused, and I saw people ghosting. There was no sound, just the way they waved their hands in front of me.

I don't know how long it took, I reacted a little, tears had wet my collar, Lingluo's voice was a little vague into my ears, she shook me, "Pan Pan, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”。 Wang Yijia on the side looked at me with a frightened look, and such an expression was worried like never before.

By the time I fully reacted, I had rushed out desperately, I don't know how long I had been running all the way, and when I came to the police station, I saw my mother sitting in a chair inside, and she was already crying. When she saw me, she cried even more sadly, and she hugged me tightly, and I started crying too, and the whole police station could only hear us crying.

I really don't know how long the time has passed, the uncles at the police station have already gone to do other things on their own, only a policeman in front of the table has been looking at us helplessly, trying to say something, but he can't get into our crying, so he has been waiting, waiting for us to finish crying.

"Ms. Zhang, we understand your feelings, but we need to understand some important things now, can you calm down a little?" The policeman finally spoke.

Slowly, my mom and I calmed down, I didn't figure out what was going on, I just knew that my mom called me and said that my dad had been arrested because... Killed.

The word murder has never only appeared on TV, and I never thought that anyone around me would have anything to do with these two words, let alone me.... Honest father. My father didn't have much to do, but he couldn't have done such a thing, and I couldn't believe he had killed someone.

"Regarding the case of Mr. Pan's murder of Mr. Wu in the unit yesterday, we will explain it to you in detail..... "Mr. Police said at a long, long point.

Shunyi Printing Factory is my father's work unit. He has been quite diligent for more than ten years, and he is not good at currying favor with the leaders, especially the treacherous factory director of their unit.

The factory director's surname is Wu, he usually likes to drink and gamble, and he hasn't taken much care of things in the factory, just the title of a factory director. He often deducts the wages of employees, always deducts money in some unwarranted names, he is addicted to gambling, but the power of the family's property is in the hands of his wife, and he takes all the money deducted from the employees to gamble.

Half a month before the incident, Director Wu called his father and two other employees to the office, secretly showed them a batch of goods, and told them that the goods were not recorded in the company's financial department. Let them do it in the week, and they will be given half of the money, and then the three of them will divide it equally.

Originally, Dad was not very willing to do it, but the two colleagues next to him persuaded Dad to let him participate. Dad's salary was not too high, and he thought that he could earn a little more, so he agreed.

In less than a week, the three of them finished the goods, and the director of the Wu factory was very happy to see it, and praised them vigorously, saying that they were capable, "The factory director, our..." The factory director laughed and patted his hands, "Don't worry, no one will be missing from you when the time comes." "The director of the factory gave them a package ticket.

After that, the contact person of the factory director secretly sold the goods, and when the three of them went to the factory director to ask for money, the factory director refused in every possible way, and often avoided them, so he hid for more than a week.

The day before the incident, the three fathers finally intercepted the factory director in the office, they were also tired, the factory director was also tired, and the factory director was a little angry, "Are you annoying!" The director scolded loudly.

"What about the money you promised us?" One person also said excitedly.

"Money? Hehehe..."The factory director laughed, he sat down slowly, and crossed his legs, "What money, I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Hearing him say this, one of them was even more angry, "You don't fill us with garlic, and you have to hand over the money you said is good." ”

The factory director did not change his attitude because of their words, and still smiled wickedly, "I advise you to get acquainted, if I tell everyone about your private work, do you think you can still work here?" You are all old and young, do you want to try the taste of being laid off? The more he spoke, the more arrogant he became.

All the employees in the factory have been deducted from their wages, and they are already very dissatisfied with the factory director.

The three of them quarreled with the factory director, and the quarrel was very fierce.... I don't know how long the quarrel lasted, no matter how cruel they said, the factory director didn't get in, the more noisy they became, the more arrogant they became, and they shouted that they would fire their fathers until tomorrow. Later, they not only quarreled in their mouths, but also began to move in their hands, and the three of them worked together to beat the factory director, and the scene was very chaotic.

Suddenly, the sound of glass slamming on the floor stopped them from moving, and when they looked over, the director was already lying in a pool of blood, and Dad was holding a vase on his desk. It was Dad who knocked down the factory director, and the three of them were shocked, and they stayed there for a long time not knowing what to do. "Oh no, something happened, hurry.... Run..."One shouted in a trembling voice, and then the heads of the three went blank, and the father was pulled out by one of them, and the three of them ran away in fear.

Dad still didn't do the real murder and absconded, he ran halfway, completely sobered up, he took out his mobile phone and called the police. When the police arrived at the scene, it was already a river of blood, and the factory director still did not rescue him.

Dad was taken and put in jail.

......

It was already completely dark when my mom and I walked out of the police station, so I helped my mom and hailed a taxi home. In the car, I looked at the dozens of missed calls on my phone, and my heart was even more sad. I opened the missed record, and Lingluo called me, Yang Jiaxin called me, Wang Yijia called me, and Senior Yihua called me.

I didn't call them back immediately, I just held back my tears and went home with my mother, I am not strong, I am very uncomfortable now, but I know that my mother is not stronger than me, and she is more vulnerable than anyone else at this time. I didn't say a word to my mom in one night, I didn't know what to say, I didn't know which word would overwhelm her.

I settled my mom and went to bed myself. I took out my phone and called back a call that I wanted to call back at this point. The phone rang twice and was picked up, as if the other party was waiting for a call.

"Hey, Pan Pan, you finally answered the phone, you..." he said, I heard his voice, and all of a sudden my emotions came to my heart, and I cried.

"Pan Pan, what's wrong with you?" He asked me.

I still didn't speak, just cried to myself, and he didn't speak anymore, just listened to me cry.

I don't know how long I've been crying, I just feel that my phone is already a little hot, I calmed down a little, "Senior Yihua, I..."

He just mumbled and didn't speak, as if waiting patiently for me to say it.

I still haven't said it, and I don't know how to say that my father killed someone. I just said slightly: "Senior, I'm worried about you, I've encountered some things at home, I'm a little sad now, I may not be able to go to school recently." ”

He didn't ask me, he didn't let me say what I didn't want to say, he just comforted me, his tone was soft, and he spoke every word carefully, as if he was caring for something.

I didn't say much on the phone, and he didn't say much. He would answer my occasional remarks, and he would always wait for me to speak, always listen, and always care. Before I knew it, I fell asleep, and I was really tired after a long day today.

In my dream, I was still the same as when I was a child, I was sitting on my father's shoulder, we were giggling, and my mother was laughing happily. I yelled to plant trees, and my dad took me and my mom to the hill, and the three of us planted trees together, and my dad was right in front of me, and he was smiling, and my mom was smiling, and I was smiling.

The dream was warm and I didn't want to wake up.

I used to hear people say that fate likes to play a joke on people, but I never took it seriously. I have a lot of nerves, I don't care about anything, as long as I have a good time every day, I don't believe in fate.

But now the claws of fate have also extended to me, casting a dark cloud over my family.
