I think what I said at this time finally did not disappoint Uncle Xu, he just looked at me silently for a while, and then nodded slowly.

"Since you can clearly understand the relationship between these two things, of course it is great, and I don't need to stress anything too much with you."

Uncle Xu finally walked away from my side slowly, he didn't look at me anymore, so I, who had always been frightened, felt some comfort in my heart at this time.

Before I could sigh, Uncle Xu's voice broke into my mind again, "Now that everything that should be said has been clarified, I think you came here today not just to ask me what happened when you were a child, right?" ”

"Of course, it's more than that, but I'm also very concerned about this matter, but Uncle Xu, you've already told me everything you know, so for the rest, I may have to ask my mother myself."

I nodded at Uncle Xu and told him what I was going to do next.

But that's true, but I'm not really sure what kind of state my mom will be like when I finally ask her, and whether she will tell me why.

After all, I have asked her this question more than once since I can remember, but each time she has been very evasive, and sometimes even very impatiently interrupted me.

After a long time, I slowly stopped asking her with interest, so that this parent-child relationship, which was already walking on thin ice, tried to ease.

But I think after all, I think I think too much, maybe I think so, but my mom never thinks about it that way.

But even if I told Uncle Xu about these things, because this was originally my family matter, he couldn't help me deal with it, so in the end, it was better not to speak.

Of course, my gaze was calm, and even my tone was extremely indifferent, Uncle Xu naturally didn't feel anything from my words, he just nodded to me slightly, and seemed to agree with my answer.

"Go back and ask your mother, she doesn't want to tell you, maybe it's her troubles, as long as you explain everything to her, I think she will tell you the truth."

As he spoke, Uncle Xu walked over to his chair and sat down, and he looked at me again, but because it was a little far away, I couldn't see his emotions clearly.

"Time is running out, if you want to ask me something, just speak as soon as possible."

Since Uncle Xu has already spoken like this, of course I am not polite, I took two steps forward, and immediately opened my mouth, "Uncle Xu, you and my father are old acquaintances, even if there is not much contact later, but I think you should know something about him embezzling public funds and going to prison." ”

"Coming here today, I also want to ask you about the details of this matter, whether my father was imprisoned for embezzling public funds, and what is the reason for him to do this?"

Listening to my questioning, Uncle Xu looked up at me slightly, and then took a deep breath, "Before you came to ask me, I think you have asked others about this matter." ”

I didn't expect Uncle Xu to suddenly speak to me like this, but since he asked, I nodded to him without hesitation, "Yes, Uncle Xu, you are not the first person I asked, and you have already learned some details from other people. ”

"In that case, how did they tell you, did they tell you why your father was in prison?"

"More than one person, I should say a lot of people, told me that my father's imprisonment for embezzlement was really just a scam. He would never do that, and I believe he wouldn't! ”

I have a resolute attitude, and I have always believed in this idea since I was a child, and I have never changed it, so I have enough confidence when I speak.

But when I said this, Uncle Xu, who was supposed to agree with my words, suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, which immediately made me panic, and I didn't know what he meant by doing this.

Seeing that my right eyelid was jumping and wanted to open my mouth to ask him, Uncle Xu opened his mouth to me lightly, "Xiaoci, what do you really think?" ”

"Of course, my father must have been imprisoned for wrongdoing, how could someone as upright as him make an appropriation. There is such a thing as public funds, not to mention that this company is his hard work, and it is impossible for him to destroy it! ”

In the face of Uncle Xu's sudden questioning, I felt extremely angry in my heart, no one could doubt my father, let alone the mistakes he never made.

Driven by this strong emotion, my already somewhat excited mood became more difficult to control, and I even yelled at Uncle Xu uncontrollably, and only reacted after I finished speaking, but unfortunately it was too late to regret it.

I stood there for a long time, trying to apologize to Uncle Xu, but he only sighed slightly and shook his head at me with some disappointment.

"You're so excited now, if I tell you again that your father is in prison, it's really because of his misappropriation. If you don't believe what I say? ”

Uncle Xu was much calmer than I had imagined, he was not angry at my disrespect, but asked me rhetorically, and I didn't know what to do in the face of his question, because I really had nothing to say.

I tried to open my mouth to Uncle Xu, but finally lowered my head and shook slowly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Xu, I don't think I can give you an accurate answer, because I believe in my father, and I know that he is not the one to do such a thing." ”

"Whether you believe it or not, the answer you can get from me is destined to be different from what others have given you, I can only tell you that your father embezzled it back then. The matter of public funds was indeed done by himself. ”

Although Uncle Xu's words have already said this, this is like a thunderbolt from the sky, but I still don't want to believe it, how is this possible?

He was my father, and I knew what kind of man he was. has always been unwilling to take an extra penny from the company, and always gives priority to the company, how can a person like this ignore the interests of the company?

So I shook my head at Uncle Xu again and again, not wanting to believe the answer he gave me anyway, "Uncle Xu, as you said, it was indeed my father's appropriation. Public money, but how do you know, and what evidence do you prefer to have that he did such a thing? ”

"Since I have already opened my mouth to tell you about this, it naturally means that I have a corresponding reason." In response to my questioning, Uncle Xu was not in a hurry, nodded slowly at me, his calm eyes seemed to carry pity for me, and at the same time slowly eloquently spoke.

"As you said, after you moved, I had less contact with your father, but not nothing, and I was surprised to hear that your father was imprisoned for embezzlement."

"On the afternoon of his detention, I put down what I was doing and went to him to ask if he had been wronged."

Uncle Xu spoke unhurriedly, for him, these are all things of the past. And now that my father is gone, it doesn't matter so much to Uncle Xu, but to me, it has a different meaning.

My father and Uncle Xu were both participants in this matter, and they both knew it in their hearts, but I was different, and I could only get a few words from their mouths.

So I listened carefully to everything Uncle Xu said to me now, for fear that I had missed something.

But at the same time I was extremely serious, I was also nervous in my heart, afraid that what he had just said would be confirmed, and that I would overturn the reason I had believed in for so many years.

But since Uncle Xu has decided to tell all this, he naturally won't take into account my feelings, and he didn't even look at me, obviously not planning to think about burying the truth.

"After the relationship, I managed to meet your father in the detention center, and the first thing I did when I met was to ask what was going on with his embezzlement."

"When I asked him if he had been framed, your father shook his head at me, and I was no less surprised than you were at this time, but after asking several times, he gave me the same answer."

"In the end, I had no choice but to ask him to hire the best lawyer to help him win the lawsuit, but your father actually refused me, and repeatedly asked me not to do it."

"In prison, I talked to him a lot, and I told him to find a lawyer to clear his name, but your father didn't listen to me. To this day, I still don't understand why. ”

Uncle Xu's words made me confused for a while, but in the same way, everything seemed to be connected, and I suddenly remembered what Lin Xiangtian's father had said to me.

I vividly remember telling me that someone had tried to get a lawyer for my father, but my father refused again and again, so that he ended up in prison and died a tragic death in prison.

All along, I wanted to know who the person who insisted on hiring a lawyer for my father was, but I didn't expect that this person was Uncle Xu.

When what he said was finally connected with what Lin Xiangtian's father said, even if I didn't believe it anymore, I could only remain silent.

My father is gone, and it doesn't make sense for Uncle Xu to lie to me now, maybe what he said is really not a lie, all this is just my own thoughts.

I had been standing there all this time, but I suddenly felt weak, and slowly I turned around and found the nearest chair to sit down, still feeling my legs weak.

I looked at Uncle Xu sitting in the chair, his expression was still indifferent and calm, and he didn't seem to be affected by this incident at all.

But I'm different, my heart is pounding, I just feel like I'm going to rush out of my chest in the next second, who would have thought that the reason I have been believing in for so many years will be suddenly overturned at this time, how could I possibly accept it?

"Uncle Xu, if I ask you one last time, please answer me truthfully." I took a deep breath, sat up straight, and spoke slowly to him.

"Is everything you say true?"
