Chapter 151: Freedom and Love
"You have ruined my life, do you want to ruin Xiaohui's life?" Zhou Zhi suppressed his voice, and the old man Lin behind him didn't know what the two of them were talking about.
Lynch has always felt guilty about Zhou Zhi for so many years, and he has always been obsessed with the incident back then, Zhou Zhi happened to know his lifeline, after Lynch heard what he said, his body trembled, turned his head, and met Zhou Zhi's eyes, Zhou Zhi smiled at him slyly.
Lynch was silent for a while, snatched the suitcase from Zhou Zhi's hand, and moved back to his bedroom.
After the flood washed away the village, the relatives who were originally close to each other moved to all corners of the city, and there was no contact, so Zhang Guowei's funeral was only attended by a few of his colleagues in the factory.
This morning, accompanied by Chen Ruize, Zhang Xin went to the suburban cemetery to pick a good cemetery for Zhang Guowei, and hurriedly held a farewell ceremony in the afternoon.
Chen Ruize looked at Zhang Xin, who had sunken eye sockets, and felt distressed, he knew that Zhang Xin couldn't listen to anything now, and all he could do now was to accompany her and take care of everything around her.
After burying Zhang Guowei, Sun Cuihua and his party returned home, Zhang Xin and Chen Ruize stood downstairs, since Zhang Guowei died last night, Zhang Xin has been busy arranging Zhang Guowei's posthumous affairs, and all the sadness was stuffed in his heart, without shedding a single tear.
Chen Ruize knew that she was going to leave the most vulnerable side to the person she trusted the most, but that person was not him.
"You've been busy at my house for a day and a night, hurry up and go back and rest, thank you so much today." Zhang Xin didn't have a trace of blood on his face, just like a zombie.
Chen Ruize nodded, and stretched out his hand to tie the top button on her coat.
"You too, people can't be resurrected after death, adjust your mood, don't let Aunt Sun worry." Chen Ruize was about to turn around and leave, when he saw more than a dozen people walking over from the opposite side, led by the mother of the victim that Zhang Xin went to visit that day.
"That's her!" The woman pointed at Zhang Xin and shouted at the people behind her, who walked quickly to Zhang Xin's side and surrounded her and Chen Ruize.
Chen Ruize thought that they were going to come over to beat Zhang Xin again, so he raised his vigilance, protected Zhang Xin behind him, and glared at the woman.
"If you want to find something, please come back another day, someone in their family has just died, please understand her feelings." The woman was facing Zhang Xin, her eyes full of resentment.
Zhang Xin tugged at the corner of Chen Ruize's clothes, motioned for him to dissipate his anger, and walked out from behind him, looking at the group of people around him.
"We came this time to ask for compensation, you said last time that you were not the one who poisoned you, but you will do everything to compensate, is this sentence true?"
Zhang Xin nodded firmly and raised her voice a little. "Of course it's true, and I'll do everything in my power to make amends for your pain."
"Well, all the people here now are victims or victims' families, we have calculated an account for you today, according to the degree of injury of the injured, the amount of compensation is naturally different, these miscellaneous things add up, you have to compensate us a total of 1 million."
The woman stretched out a finger at Zhang Xin with a philistine face, without the slightest sadness like before, Zhang Xin silently thought in her heart, this money is really a good thing, it can cure all the pain, including the most cruel life and death.
"A million! Why don't you go and grab it! Chen Ruize almost shouted, 100,000 is acceptable, 1 million is like an astronomical amount for Zhang Xin's family, they can't even think of it.
Seeing Chen Ruize's attitude, some of the people around him also spoke one after another.
"One million, that's not a lot, my son is still lying in the hospital, and there is that person, his daughter was poisoned too deeply, although she was rescued, but she became a vegetative person, lying half-dead in bed."
Chen Ruize still felt that this compensation was a bit outrageous, and wanted to reason with them, but he was blocked back by Zhang Xin's words.
"Well, I promise you, if you say a million, a million. But you give me a list, what is the name, what is the extent of the victimization, what is the amount of money, you must write it all clearly, I will visit you one by one. ”
Chen Ruize pulled Zhang Xin's arm and whispered to her: "Are you crazy, they are obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob, one million!" It's not a small amount, and you can't afford to go bankrupt! ”
Zhang Xin ignored Chen Ruize's reminder and bowed deeply to the people around him. When the people around saw Zhang Xin like this, they didn't say anything, and they all dispersed.
"Okay, we'll send you the list tomorrow." The woman saw that the people who came together changed their attitudes, and she couldn't say anything herself, so she followed behind a dozen people and left.
"You're so stupid, I'll come back tomorrow to help you deal with them." Zhang Xin did not refuse Chen Ruize this time, she knew that she couldn't deal with this matter on her own, and now that Lynch was by her side, she really needed a helper who could help her take care of these things.
Chen Ruize then said a few more words and left, Zhang Xin looked at his back as he walked away, and suddenly remembered someone.
Zhang Xin unconsciously raised her left hand, the jade bracelet that Lynch gave her before, she had always worn on her body, whenever she was about to get through these days, she held it tightly, as if Lynch had given her encouragement.
Unknowingly, in his relationship with Lynch, he has become Zhang Xin's faith.
Zhang Xin dragged her tired body upstairs, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw the whole family standing at the door looking at her, Zhang Xin knew that they had heard it clearly on the windowsill just now, so she didn't speak, walked to the dining table with her head down, and poured herself a glass of water.
Mrs. Zhang trembled and took out a handkerchief from her pocket and opened it layer by layer, inside was some of the money she and Old Man Zhang had secretly saved in recent days, and Mrs. Zhang pushed the money in front of Zhang Xin.
"Although this money is not much, it should be of some use in this special period now, you take it first, and use it as compensation for them."
Zhang Xin looked at the thin stack of banknotes in front of him, and couldn't hold back his sadness in his heart, so he lay on the table and cried.
She didn't understand that she had already experienced so many partings in her previous life, and now she was still so sad when she faced it again, and the various pressures and predicaments she was facing now were more desperate than in her previous life.
Maybe it's life, you never know when it's going to slap you in the face and make you re-examine the world.
Zhou Hui sat in the living room nervously, waiting for Zhou Zhi to come back, Zhou Zhi had promised her before going out that he would definitely let Lynch marry her into the Lin family openly, but Lynch's temper was very stubborn, and he didn't like others to arrange his life, so she didn't have much confidence about marrying her.
There was a sound of a car honking, Zhou Hui immediately rushed out of the door to help move Zhou Zhi off the car, Zhou Zhi looked at his sister who was full of nervousness, and made a victory gesture at her, and the heart that had been worried all afternoon finally returned to normal.
Lynch sat in his bedroom, things scattered all around, the door locked, and no one could enter.
He now has a fire in his heart, unable to vent, on one side is Zhang Xin, on the other hand is the guilt he has borne for more than ten years, he began to resent himself at that time, because of a hasty decision at that time, he took his life.
The phone on the table rang again, and Lynch's intuition told him that it was Zhang Xin on the other end of the call, but he was not qualified to answer the phone now, let alone meddle in her affairs, the phone rang quickly and harshly, and the more Lynch listened, the more upset he became, so he simply got up and pulled the phone cord down.
The room was dead silent again, and Lynch lay flat on the bed, tears silently streaming down the corners of his eyes, and now only Lynch knew what the tears meant, representing his dying love and freedom.
