Chapter 49: Confrontation
I lowered my eyes, resisting the urge to blast the family out.
Zhang Bailiang lit three sticks of incense, knelt down on the cushion in front of his grandfather's coffin, bowed a few times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
According to the custom of my hometown, I should bow back to him when he was kneeling, but I didn't move.
I said, "You sincerely mourn my grandfather's words, kowtow three times, admit what happened in front of my family and the villagers, make amends to my grandfather, and repent." ”
Zhang Bailiang changed from a kneeling position to a squatting posture and approached me: "What did you say?" Kowtow to repentance? ”
I looked him in the eye indifferently.
Zhang Bailiang deliberately paused and continued: "Everyone knows what you did before. You drank back then, and the whole village of you also knew that it was you who seduced me, but I was young and vigorous, and I couldn't hold back. You're afraid that others will find out and scold you for being a coquett, so they will frame your grandfather, right? ”
Zhang Bailiang's words echoed in my ears, and I was angry for a while. I wanted to get up and slap him, but I felt like my lower body was freezing, and my cold bones were hurting. Numb and stiff, I got up too quickly and fell on the cushion in front of me.
In the end, this is a thorn in my heart, a pain that I can't touch, and this thorn has been a thorn in my grandfather's life for more than ten years - Zhang Bailiang dared to say such things in front of my grandfather's spirit in such an obscene tone!
A puff of anger burned my chest full, I picked up the incense burner on the side and threw it at him, angrily saying, "Get out! Get the hell out of here! ”
Zhang Bailiang immediately got up to avoid it, the ash in the incense burner and the unburned incense sprinkled a drop, Zhang Bailiang shook the ash sticky on his trouser leg, looked at me, and looked innocent: "You are crazy again!" ”
I shouted hysterically: "Get out! Get out of here! ”
It was raining outside, and there was a big canopy outside the house, and relatives and friends were staying in groups in the canopy. Because of the movements of Zhang Bailiang and me, we all gathered to watch.
I lay on the cushion, struggled to get up, and casually copied a wooden rake and hit Zhang Bailiang, Zhang Bailiang avoided it, so I chased after it.
Relatives and friends don't know the reason, they are all scolding me for not solving the matter at home, and making a fool of myself at my grandfather's funeral, saying that I don't respect my grandfather and scold me for being unfilial.
I was like crazy, I didn't listen to anyone, and chased Zhang Bailiang vigorously.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the slightest handful of them drilled into my eyes and mouth coldly.
The younger uncle and the eldest uncle were afraid that I would make trouble, so they grabbed me one by one and dragged me into the house.
I watched Zhang Bailiang pretend to complain to my uncle about me, and then slammed the car door shut.
He took his mother, insulted me, and drove away in the car I paid for.
My uncle dragged me back to the room, and I asked them with red eyes, "Why, you're going to lock me up too?" ”
The eldest uncle let go of me and drank: "Fang Qing! Have you made enough trouble! When Dad was very sick, he called you several times and sent you messages but you didn't reply, he was looking forward to you coming to the hospital, and asked you when he was a little sober! It's his funeral now! If you make any more trouble, get out of here! ”
After the eldest uncle finished speaking, his anger did not subside, he glared at me fiercely, and slammed the door.
Yes, he called me and told me to come back, but I blocked him.
But I can't get out now, at least I have to wait for my grandfather to be buried, I won't make trouble, and silently kneel in front of my grandfather's spirit.
The farce of Zhang Bailiang's appearance did not cause any waves during the three-day funeral.
I was in a daze, and I didn't know how to spend these three days, until my grandfather's ashes were buried, and I finally realized that he was really gone.
The sound of firecrackers rang out, and in the smoke of gunpowder, everyone was sobbing or wailing in the sound of mourning music. I looked at the portrait of my grandfather on the tombstone and whispered, "Grandpa, I will give you an explanation."
When I was about to go back to the city, my grandmother handed me a box and said, "This is what your grandfather has asked me to give to you." ”
This is a very delicate black lacquer small wooden box, probably handmade by Fang Jide, and a few roses are carved on the lid, and the roses are sprayed with bright red lacquer.
I took the box and held it in my hand. Grandma said don't you open it and take a look? As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to open it, and she took out a journal and said, "It's your mother's thing." ”
The journal was small, with a small lock, and the keyhole had rusted off.
Mom?
The word was so foreign in my life that I was stunned when I heard it.
Sandwiched between the diary was something that looked like a photograph. I jerked, but I didn't twitch.
Grandma pulled it, but she didn't pull it, so she said, "This photo is your mother and your father." When I was a child, I was afraid that you would be sad, so I didn't show it to you. Your mother said that your father died in a car accident, and your grandfather probably knew better, but he wouldn't tell me. Don't blame your grandfather, when your mother left like that, your grandfather felt pain, and no one dared to mention it for more than ten years. Before he went to the hospital, he told me to leave it to you, and I made a thought. ”
I didn't speak, I took the box in my hand, and my grandmother said, "You don't have a good time with Xiao Zhang, so let's leave." Your grandfather is gone, and you will be in charge of these things in the future. ”
My eyes suddenly became a little sour, when Fang Jide was there in the past, I hated him for asking me too much, but now that he is gone, I know that my heart will be empty.
I lowered my head, and my uncle urged me to say that the bus was about to arrive, and my grandmother reluctantly let go of my hand.
On the bus, my uncle saw that I didn't say a word, so he said to me: "You and Zhang Bailiang divorced like this, I'm afraid you can only divorce, if you don't have a place to live for the time being, you can go to my place and squeeze it, I am a single dormitory, I will squeeze with my colleagues." ”
I looked at him and said slowly, "I figured out what happened back then, and the person who bullied me ......"
The little uncle was surprised: "Who?" ”
"It's Zhang Bailiang."
My uncle looked at me in disbelief: "Where did you hear that?" ”
"I know you have a good relationship with him, but that's what he admitted. I recorded the audio before he took my phone away, afraid that I would sue him and forced me to a mental hospital. I said.
When the little uncle heard this, he glared, smashed his fist on the seat angrily, and suddenly raised his voice: "I didn't expect Zhang Bailiang to be such a brute!" He actually bullied you like this! How dare he come and ask for a kiss! ”
There were only a few people on the bus, and we sat in the back to talk, but the movement of the little uncle still led the passengers in front of us to look back, and the attendant shouted: "I have to pay for the damage!" ”
I thought that my uncle's first reaction when he knew about this was to scold me for wronging his father for so many years.
The little uncle was still angry: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" I didn't tell my big brother that day! I'm going to have to kill this brute with a knife!"
I asked him, "What about after you hack him to death?" ”
The little uncle was blocked by me, opened his mouth, and said after a while: "Go back to the lawyer, let's go sue him!" ”
"Don't let grandma know about this, I'll solve it myself."
The little uncle nodded and said, "I know, before he went to prison, he didn't block his mother." Then be careful yourself, call me if you have something. ”
I replied lightly, looking out the window and not talking again.
In the evening, I returned to the city.
This city is still bright and green in the middle of the night, running on its own, the crowd is its cells, cells are not indispensable, and it doesn't care how much grief and despair you carry in this little cell.
Saying goodbye to his uncle at the station, he was in a hurry to go back to the company to work overtime, thought about it, opened his wallet, and gave me all the cash in it: "You take it first." ”
I drew a few, put them in my pocket, and watched my uncle leave in a car, I waved to stop a taxi and went directly to Baige Bay.
I heard music from the store from a distance, and there were many people waiting in the hall, and my heart finally settled down. No matter what happens to me, Baigewan is still doing well.
I walked directly to the bar, and suddenly found that the waiters were all unknown to me, and an employee came out of the cashier counter and blocked me at the door: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" ”
I saw the foreman's badge on his chest, frowned and asked, "What about Xiaozhuang?" ”
The new foreman shook his head: "I'm sorry, we've only been here for a few days, I don't know who you're talking about, if you need to book a room, it's the same as mine." ”
Zhang Bailiang actually replaced all the employees?
I don't have the office key on me, and I'm a bit of a fire, but I can't fight them in the store. I said, "I'm Fang Qing, the owner of this shop." ”
The foreman was a boy in his twenties, he thought about it, probably not sure, and didn't want to offend me, so he said in a good tone: "In this case, I'll call our boss to verify." ”
He dialed the number at the front desk, and I took the microphone directly and said, "Zhang Bailiang, the legal representative of this store is me, even if the divorce judgment wants to divide half of you, I only need to give you the corresponding market value of the shares." Why are you? ”
Zhang Bailiang paused on the phone for a few seconds, and when I was about to lose patience, he slowly said: "I have already transferred the store, and in two days, the other party will come over to take over, and you have signed the divorce agreement, I advise you not to bother." ”
Transfer? Isn't it crazy!
I gritted my teeth and said, "That's my shop!" It's a business license in my name! ”
"People don't want your business license. That's it," Zhang Bailiang hung up.
The busy sound in the microphone was as harsh as Zhang Bailiang's laughter. I squeezed the microphone tightly, but I heard a waiter and foreman muttering in the bar: "Is this the legendary ex-wife of the boss who cheated on the sugar daddy?" ”
I dropped the microphone and suddenly turned around, and the waiter was startled.
I sneered: "You're mistaken, I'm not his ex-wife, and I haven't divorced him yet." ”
The waiter's face was distorted, the foreman reprimanded her, and apologized to me with a very good attitude, I looked at his hypocritical face, and thought of the more hypocritical Zhang Bailiang, and my chest throbbed with anger.
I walked out of Baige Bay quickly, took a taxi and went directly to the house, I didn't have the key to the house, and knocked on the door vigorously for a while, but no one answered.
