352, this thing has a split personality!
When he saw the flower pot in Zhou Ping's hand, his eyes widened, and he seemed to be a little annoyed, so without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed it.
Zhou Ping originally didn't like this man who got drunk early in the morning, and when he returned the flower pot to him last time, he didn't even say thank you, which was very rude.
Seeing that he wanted to come over and grab the flower pot, Zhou Ping unceremoniously grabbed his arm with his backhand and twisted it hard.
Taking advantage of the pain in his wrist, he followed up and kicked him in the knee.
Yes!
The bearded man screamed miserably, slammed and half-knelt on the ground, and threw out all the wine and snacks and spilled them all on the ground.
At this moment, the exclamation of the little girl Yulis came from behind: "Sir, please, please don't hit my father! My father is a good man, he is a good man, please don't hit him." ”
What? Daddy?
Zhou Ping couldn't help but glance at the bearded man who was half-kneeling in front of him again, and looked back at Yulisi with a frightened look on his face.
"Hey, Ullis, I didn't hit your dad, I just played a little joke with him, take this pot. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Ping let go and handed the flower pot in his hand to the little girl.
"Really, sir, you're not going to lie to me, are you?"
Yulis blinked, looked into Zhou Ping's eyes with some suspicion, cautiously reached out and took the flower pot, and then held it in her arms.
Zhou Ping frowned slightly after looking at the bearded man who had already stood up, and then pointed to the inside and said to Yuris: "Of course it's true, uncle won't lie to a little angel." But I still have something to talk to your dad about, can you go in and wait?"
The little girl looked at her father, and when she saw that he was fine, she nodded to Zhou Ping with the flower pot in her hand and said, "Okay, I'll go in first." ”
Seeing this handicapped, but well-behaved and sensible little girl walk into the house, Zhou Ping turned around and hooked his finger at the bearded man who seemed to be a little nervous and asked.
"Hey, man, come here, don't be afraid, what's your name? Is it really the girl's father? I'm curious, why do you have such a bad attitude towards such an innocent and lovely child, I need you to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will call the police!"
He had watched the gua sha movie back then, so he knew that child abuse was not a light crime on Lao Mei's side.
Hearing this, the trace of alcohol on the bearded man's body suddenly disappeared by half, remembering the scene just now, looking at the tall and imposing Asian man in front of him, a trace of fear flashed in his bloodshot eyes.
Although he drank a little wine, he still had some confidence in his own strength.
But just now, he knelt down directly, and he had no power to fight back.
However, thinking of Zhou Ping's attitude towards his daughter just now, his panicked face eased a little.
"My name is Ernst, and I am indeed Ulris's father. ”
When the name Ulis was mentioned, Zhou Ping saw a bit of love in his eyes, and at the same time asked with some doubts: "As a father, why do you treat Ulis like this? Also, where did her mother go?"
When he heard Zhou Ping mention Yuris's mother, a trace of pain flashed in the bearded man's eyes, and he raised his hand to rub his eyes.
Looking at his expression, Zhou Ping knew a little in his heart: This guy is also a person with a story.
But because of this, he drank heavily, which still makes people feel a little looked down upon.
Ernst's expression quickly recovered his indifference, looked at Ulis in the room, and then said to Zhou Ping: "This is not the place to talk, if you want, let's talk in another place?"
"Yes. Zhou Ping nodded, anyway, it's okay to be idle, just listen to a story.
So, Ernst told Euris in the house to go out, closed the door gently, and led Zhou Ping to a humble coffee house downstairs.
After sitting down and ordering two cups of coffee, Zhou Ping asked directly: "What's going on, let's talk about it!"
Ernst lowered his head and thought for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice about their family's experience.
Originally, his family lived a very happy life.
He also took it for granted that he and his wife would watch their little angel grow up happily, get married, have children, and then live happily hand in hand until the day of old age.
Unexpectedly, a natural accident on Yuris's seventh birthday completely ruined this happy family.
It was August 15, O17, and it was also Ulris's birthday.
Ernst and his wife, Mandy, who is Ulris's mother, take Euris to the amusement park.
In the meantime, Mandy asks Ernst to buy some drinks, and they walk in the direction of the Ferris wheel.
Suddenly, disaster struck from above.
A serious misdetection of the pirate ship's parts at the playground caused the pirate ship to swing off its tracks as it swayed, smashing directly into Ulis and her mother, Mandy.
Seeing that Mandy was in no hurry to dodge, he pushed his daughter Ulis away and faced the behemoth that collided with him alone.
It is conceivable that although Mandy, who is a mother in the moment of life and death, shows unparalleled bravery, but under the impact of the behemoth of the pirate ship, how fragile and worthless it is.
With a scream of pain, she was directly knocked more than ten meters away and died on the spot.
Although Yuris, who was pushed, did not die, she did not escape her doom and was hit by a pirate ship and broke her leg.
When Ernst heard the exclamation, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
He burst into tears, couldn't even speak on the spot, ran over frantically regardless of the danger, and cried heartbreakingly with his wife who was lying in a pool of blood.
It wasn't until the first responders in the amusement park arrived that they were finally separated.
The emergency doctor who arrived later took them to the hospital with them.
In the end, the result given to Ernst made his world collapse directly.
His wife died, and his beloved daughter was also crippled.
Not only that, but Ulis was also greatly frightened by this accident, and stayed at home every day, holding the pot of flowers that her mother Mandy gave her for a long time.
Ernst was devastated by this, and bought himself drunk every day, trying to numb himself when he was drunk, and forgetting something that made him extremely painful.
More than a year passed, and the pain of his wife's death gradually lessened with the passage of time, but he developed an inseparable dependence on alcohol.
And in Las Vegas, a person with a less sober mind can easily get into the vice of gambling.
The amusement park gave them compensation was quickly depleted in his hands, and his temper grew with his alcoholism, and then he lost his job and lived on government handouts.
When he was drunk, he even developed a grudge against Yulis, blaming his daughter for all this misfortune, speaking ill of her, and even using his hands.
However, whenever he was sober, he loved Ulis very much, because he could always see his wife in Ulis's body.
When he heard this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
An accident leads to the collapse of a happy family.
If he hadn't encountered this incident, but had just heard about it, he would probably have just heard about it.
But now that he has met him, it seems that he has to do something for this unfortunate family.
Especially when he saw Yuris's innocent eyes just now, he felt even more that he had to do something.
It would be terrible for such an angelic little girl to have her life ruined like this.
And at this time, Zhou Ping had already vaguely guessed that the reason why the timeline had not been advanced might be here.
Looking at the decadent man in front of him with burning eyes, Zhou Ping said in a deep voice: "Ernst, my name is Zhou." I have a suggestion now, would you like to hear it?"
Ernst raised his head, met Zhou Ping's gaze, and nodded silently.
"First of all, with your current state, you are no longer suitable to continue raising Yuris, I believe you know this, right?"
Ernst didn't speak, but nodded.
"Well, although I'm not a saint, since I have encountered such a thing, I also want to take care of it, at least I can give you a little help, and it can be regarded as a casual action. ”
Hearing that Zhou Ping wanted to help them, a trace of joy flashed in Ernst's eyes: "Mr. Zhou, you are a good person. ”
Waving his hand, Zhou Ping said lightly: "Don't be happy first, listen to me." ”
Ernst nodded busily, and made a deaf look.
It can be seen that he actually hopes to give Ullith a better living environment and growth conditions.
It's a pity that the world didn't regret taking the medicine, all the compensation money was lost by him, and it seems that because of the long-term paralysis of his nerves by alcohol, it hollowed out his body, and at the same time, it also diluted the courage and perseverance he should have to cheer up!
"First of all, the first problem to be solved is you, you have to quit drinking first. ”
Hearing Zhou Ping ask him to quit drinking, Ernst opened his mouth to say something.
"Shut up and hear me out. ”
Zhou Ping's eyes sank, stopped Ernst and continued: "Alcohol must be quit, this is absolutely not to be discussed, even if you don't want to quit, you can't help it. ”
Ernst looked at Zhou Ping with some astonishment.
But seeing the undoubted look on his face, he subconsciously chose to believe it, and then nodded lightly.
This Asian man doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems.
"Since you have agreed to this basic condition, let me say the next few points. Zhou Ping continued.
Ernst gritted his teeth: "You say come and see, as long as I can be good to Julis, I can promise you!"
"First, you won't be allowed to see Euris again until your addiction to alcohol is over, lest you hurt the poor child again. ”
"Secondly, I will arrange for a nurse to take care of Julis's daily life, take her to the hospital for a psychological test, and see if there is any chance that her foot will be healed. ”
Hearing this, Ernst's expression suddenly became a little stiff, and then his fists slammed on the table, Huo Ran stood up and roared a little hysterically.
"Watts, what do you say, you are too lenient, who are you, why do you decide for us, how do you decide our lives? ”
"I'm not going to let you take Euris away, I'm not going to let anyone take her away from me, okay, we don't need your help, not at all!"
Zhou Ping was not surprised by Ernst's reaction to turning his face faster than turning a book.
Or in fact, I had expected this to be the result.
Because from the communication just now, she has been secretly observing the man in front of her.
He suspected that the battered Ernst had already shown signs of a split personality.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with saying that this situation is neurotic!
That's why Zhou Ping deliberately said very harsh conditions, just to stimulate him and verify whether his judgment was accurate.
However, there is one thing, Zhou Ping must also admit that deep in the heart of this bearded man, he actually loves his wife and daughter deeply.
It's just that his psychological endurance is not strong enough after all, and he didn't get out of this shadow.
In other words, maybe his daughter Ulis may not have any big problems mentally, but as a father, he has a lot of problems.
Smiling slightly, Zhou Pingyang pointed at the other party and said, "Hehe, man, since I knew about this matter, whether you want to or not, I have already decided your future." ”
Ernst leaned his whole body towards Zhou Ping, gritted his teeth and said, "No, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
seemed to forget the loss he had suffered before, and just when he raised his fist to do something, Zhou Ping reached out and pressed it on his shoulder.
Ernst felt a tremendous force and had to sit back in his seat.
"Okay, that's it, I'm sure you'll be grateful to me when you start over. ”
After saying that, he didn't give Ernst a chance to speak again, he just snapped his fingers and called the waiter to settle the bill.
However, when Zhou Ping habitually threw out two Franklin cards and said the rest of the tips, both Ernst and the waiter were somewhat stunned.
After all, the total consumption of the two just now will not exceed twenty US dollars.
Ignoring the waiter's gratitude, Zhou Ping opened the bag, casually took out a stack of green knives and threw them on the table, at first glance, there must be at least three or four thousand.
"Take the money, pack yourself up, and then go find a job that can support you, and during this time, I will help you take care of your little angel. ”
"But I don't have the obligation to raise a daughter for you, so you still have to rely on yourself in the future! Of course, if you really can't change yourself, then I may help her find a better family!"
After speaking, Zhou Ping turned around and left the café.
Scratching his head, Ernst, who had regained his senses, seemed to believe what Zhou Ping said.
However, when he thought of quitting alcohol and looking for a job to earn money again, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
Over the past year, he has not tried, but he has not grown, but his dependence on alcohol has become greater.
After walking out of the café, Zhou Ping thought about it and called Jenny to tell her about it, asking her to see if there was any way to help the poor man quit drinking and raise the girl for a while.
When Jenny, who was full of justice, heard this, she agreed without hesitation.
And she also said that she could let her best friend lawyer Joanna help take care of some legal issues to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In this regard, Zhou Ping of course nodded yes.
