Chapter 147: Good Intentions
Hu Sheng stood outside the hardware store counter. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info boss squinted at him while leaning sideways to find what he wanted.
"What did you say?" he asked, in a tone of distrust.
"Your dog was killed. Hu Sheng replied without changing his face. Of course he knew what this boss thought of him. He was not popular as a murderer, and they even thought he had killed his grandmother. Yes, that was the year he stoned the boy's dog who peed on the watermelon in his mouth. That was the year his grandmother lay in the hospital and never got out of bed and walked again. Died in less than a year. His mother didn't send him away because of the little girl in the madhouse. It's because the town can't accommodate him. Even his father couldn't tolerate him, and after his grandmother died, his father never restrained himself, often beating him, calling him a bastard who killed his mother. Occasionally, when he was sober, he would say, "Remember, grandma died because you fucking wanted to eat meatballs." "Grandma would pass by the coal shop to buy meat, and when she passed by, a child threw a piece of watermelon rind, and she stepped on it and fell down. The owner of the pharmacy next door to the coal shop said she heard the old woman's bones shattering. "You think I did it. ”
"Hmph – the chimpanzee didn't come home yesterday. The hardware store owner took one look at him and threw a roll of rubber cord down the counter. "How do you know. He lifted his chin at him, "18." ”
"It was nailed to Anna's grave. Hu Sheng took out his wallet, took out a 50 sheet and handed it to him. "You know, Anna Zhou's grave. Hu Sheng actually didn't want to mention Zhou Anna, she had been dead for many years, and everyone knew that her death had something to do with him! In a certain way, they thought that Zhou Anna was killed by him! And because of guilt, perhaps because of his conscience, he would often go to her grave to see her and burn some paper money for her! Everyone in the town knew it!
"Immortal Valley?" the boss took the money, "Your enemy, kill my dog?" The story of the valley is not only known to Hu Sheng's grandmother, but also to the older people in the town!
Hu Sheng looked at the hardware store owner, who was rummaging through an iron box for change. Hu Sheng wanted to tell him that he didn't need to look for it, but he was afraid that this would make this boss very disgusted, if it wasn't for the fact that everyone had changed so much like Li Zhen, then he knew that this boss was a person with strong self-esteem. The hardware store has been open in this town for many years. Hu Sheng remembers that when he was a child, the father of the current boss was in charge, and now it has been replaced by his son, and he doesn't know where the old man has gone. He liked the old man very much, and he didn't dare to go home or go to the hospital to find his grandmother the night he stoned the dog, and he remembered that the owner of the shop took him in and cooked him a bowl of dry noodles. Eggs were also added.
"Where's your father?" Hu Sheng suddenly changed the subject.
The hand rummaging through the change suddenly stopped. Then he continued, the box was full of one yuan and five cents, and the largest was only 10 yuan in face value, and he scraped together a long time to find him 32 yuan.
"Thanks to you, I'm dead. He said angrily.
Hu Sheng stopped folding money in surprise.
"Oh. It's a shame he's a good guy. Hu Sheng quickly put the money into his wallet, and then stuffed it into the pocket of his blue jeans. "Boss Ma, I think someone is trying to steal your shop. ”
The boss looked up at him with a curious look.
"You know, I used to be the obnoxious gangster in this town, and my dad called me a shit*day bastard. I believe that they didn't just scare me by bringing the dog to Anna Zhou's grave. They want to kill two birds with one stone. Your father used to help me. I'm grateful. I don't expect you to be grateful to me though. I don't think you can handle it, but you can keep the door closed. Hu Sheng smiled brightly and picked up the thread roll on the counter, "Xie Luo." ”
"You shouldn't come back. Boss Ma stopped him.
Hu Sheng's hand holding the thread roll paused, but only for a moment. He lifted the coil of thread and looked at Boss Ma with a smile.
"Everybody hates you. You shouldn't come back. Boss Ma repeated again.
"They hated me all the time. Blind people know I'm a murderer. This is not unusual. ”
"You should leave with your wife, why are you coming back?" Boss Ma looked at him, undaunted. "If I were you, you would take your wife away and never return to this town. ”
"Do you regret not running away with your wife and children?" Hu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm talking about you!"
"Hahaha, you're thinking that if I had this mongrel that much money, I would never come back here and not let them send my crazy wife to jail. Hu Sheng said. "You're wrong, though. I'm a good person, and my wife is a good person. In the past few decades, all of you, all the people in the town, have made a mistake. You framed a good man, ruined a good man's life, and sent him to prison. Good people don't need to run away. After saying that, he quickly left the hardware store, leaving the stunned Boss Ma.
"Dad, who is he?" Mark stood in the doorway and looked at Hu Sheng's back in the distance. "Is he the rich guy who threw money into town?"
"I don't know. Hurry upstairs and finish your homework. ”
"Mother-in-law Shuqing, who just came back, asked for a box of nails, and she hoped that I could send it to her today. Mark looked at his father and said slowly. "Can I send it in and come back to do my homework?"
Boss Ma looked at his son, he has been running to the 6th Brigade recently, of course he knows why. He wanted to see his mother, the crazy woman Hu Sheng was talking about. The mad woman who pinned their young son alive into the river and drowned. He didn't tell Mark the truth, he didn't know how to speak. He just said that his mother was overly sick from the loss of her brother. He knew that his classmates would use his mother to humiliate him, but he only believed his words and never suspected that his brother was killed by his mother.
But one day he will know the truth, and he will not be able to hide it from him for the rest of his life. Someday.
"No! not today. You go and do your homework. I'm going to send it to her. ”
"But—" Mark still wanted to fight for himself, he even had a telescope ready. He quietly took it from his father's little storeroom.
"The chimpanzee is gone, you know?" Boss Ma suddenly remembered that Hu Sheng said that his dog was dead. He has no affection for chimpanzees, just a watchdog, but Mark loves him and can be described as his playmate and friend.
"I've been looking for it for a day. Mark frowned and said sadly.
"Then don't go anywhere today, maybe it will come back on its own. (To be continued.) )
