Chapter 18

It may be that she still feels angry.

Zhixi opened her teeth and claws again, and stepped forward to fight with me.

I wasn't in the mood for that, but it was worth it to see her smile gradually regain on her face.

After the commotion, Zhixi quieted down and suddenly asked me, "By the way, why are you alone again, what about your two uncles?" ”

At the mention of this, my mood became depressed again, and I told Zhixi about it briefly.

She also restrained her playfulness and whispered to me, "So where are you going next?" ”

"When I go back to the county seat, I have to buy a mobile phone first, make up a card, and then discuss the process of white affairs with the family surnamed Liu."

"I'll go with you." Zhixi got up and said.

"What are you going to do? Do you add to the chaos? I said.

Zhixi said coquettishly: "Oh, I'm not useless. ”

"At the very least, I can help you get something, fight and something."

"You're not going to want to keep throwing me here, are you? I don't want it! ”

I think about it, who knows what kind of moth Wang Hu will come up with at that time.

I said helplessly: "I've told you a long time ago, call your parents, Jinling is not far from us, it's only an hour by plane, are you going to suffer from this crime?" ”

Zhixi shook her head and shook her head, looking like she was hanging her child, her left ear went in and her right ear went out.

At noon that day, the two of us returned to the county seat, and after a simple deal in Shaxian on the street, I went to buy a new mobile phone, made up a card, and contacted the family surnamed Liu.

When I arrived at the address of the Liu family, I rushed over, and when I was about to reach the place, I saw a huge inflatable arch with couplets on both sides of the arch to mourn the deceased.

Walking in, we walked through a small alley and came to the door of the Liu family.

At the moment, there is a group of people watching the lively neighborhood here.

I'm not interested in this, so I'm going to squeeze in with Zhixi.

Zhixi grabbed me, with an excited face.

"Let's listen first, let's see what's going on."

I have to say that watching the excitement is really the nature of every Chinese person.

I listened to her for a while, and from the content of the quarrel and the words of the others, I roughly understood what had happened.

The old man who passed away was Mr. Liu, who had a total of three children before his death.

The eldest daughter went abroad a few years ago, and she never contacted her family again, which can be regarded as a severance of relations.

Since then, the work of supporting the elderly has fallen to the two sons.

But one of these two sons is more unproductive than the other.

I was contacted by the third child in the family, Liu Zimin, who was a night guard at a local chemical plant.

The second child's name is Liu Zidong, and the situation is slightly better than the third, and he has his own business in other places.

But in the past two years, the business has not been sluggish, the pants have been lost, and there is a lot of debt.

This time the two quarreled, not because of the death of the old man, but more because of the maintenance of the old man before his death.

Because the eldest moved abroad a few years ago and cut off relations with his family, the second Liu Zidong lived in other places, and the old man has always been the third Liu Zimin by his side.

A few years ago, when Liu Zidong's business was still booming, he would give Liu Zimin the living expenses of the elderly every month, although it was not much, but it was enough.

But in the past two years, Liu Zidong's business has been yellow, and the money can't be paid, Liu Zimin doesn't earn much as a night shift security guard, in addition to his own family of four, he also has to support his seriously ill father in bed, and some can't make ends meet.

Therefore, in the past two years, Liu Zimin called Liu Zidong to quarrel with him when he had nothing to do, and asked the other party to take the money, but Liu Zidong relied on it, and he was not even willing to come back during the New Year.

Until last night, Liu Zidong received a call from Liu Zimin, and when he heard that his father was gone, he was so frightened that he hurried back from other places.

In Liu Zidong's view, his father's death must have been caused by Liu Zimin, and it was Liu Zimin who didn't want to continue to support this 'burden' so he used tricks to kill his father.

And Liu Zimin felt that he had supported his father for so many years, and he had worked hard and complained, and his father's death this time was his negligence, but he couldn't put all the responsibility on his head.

and asked Liu Zidong why he didn't go home for two years, whether he was the same as his eldest sister and planned to cut off relations with this family.

Two people, two families, that's called a verbal sword, you come and go, no one will let anyone.

I have seen a lot of this kind of family ethics drama with Uncle Li over the years, and I have long been accustomed to it, but it is Zhixi, the daughter of a rich family, who is watching it with relish.

After learning the ins and outs of what happened, I pulled her into the courtyard.

Liu Zimin was thin and tall, his skin was very dark and rough, he saw me walk in, first curiously asked me who I was, and after I reported my home, Liu Zimin immediately showed a smile on his face.

On the other hand, Liu Zidong on the side frowned disdainfully.

His appearance is familiar with Liu Zimin, but his figure is bigger, his head is big, his neck is thick, and he is either a big man or a man.

"Duangong? At this age? I'm afraid that the hair hasn't grown together, right? Liu Zidong pointed at me and spoke unceremoniously.

After speaking, he also asked Zhixi on the side, "And this girl, what are you doing?" Don't tell me it's a goddess! ”

Without waiting for Zhixi to speak, I dragged it behind me and said, "This is my apprentice." ”

"Yo, the little things that don't have any hair can also accept apprentices, it's interesting."

Liu Zidong walked towards me, he had a briefcase under his arm, and he looked like a big man.

"Let me ask you, how much do you plan to charge after you do a white thing?"

I stretched out two fingers: "Two thousand, I said it before." ”

"! Two thousand? It's really expensive! A thousand out of a thousand? He said with a hippie smile.

Before I could get angry, Liu Zimin hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted.

"Liu Zidong! You talk to Mr. Ren with a better attitude! ”

"This is Li Duangong's apprentice in Hezi Village! It's a great skill! ”

"No matter how big your ability is, you're a little kid!" Liu Zidong was still full of disdain.

"A man who eats the food of the dead dares to collect two thousand when he opens his mouth? and is not afraid of retribution. ”

"Otherwise, aren't you very capable? Can you help me ask my dad how he died? As long as you ask, I'll give you 2,000 yuan, what's the matter? ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Zidong is deliberately making things difficult for me, Liu Zimin said again.

"Liu Zidong, you're over! I said it all, my dad didn't pay attention to him and fell to his death, you make things difficult for people Mr. Xiao, are you sick? ”

"Whew!" Liu Zidong pushed Liu Zimin: "Liu Zimin, I don't believe a word of your words!" ”

"I don't believe that my father can fall to his death, his death must be inseparable from you!"

As he spoke, Liu Zidong waved his hand to the woman beside him, and the woman handed over the wallet.

Liu Zidong took out twenty red tickets from his wallet and shook them in front of me.

"As long as you can make my father speak, these two thousand yuan are yours!"

I stretched out my hand and was just about to take it, but Liu Zidong immediately retracted, I frowned, and forcibly held the wad of money.

Liu Zidong was immediately unhappy: "You haven't done anything?" Spread your hands out, there are no rules at all! ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, raised my wrist, made an inch, grabbed the money, and handed it to Zhixi.

Liu Zidong was so angry that he opened his mouth to scold, but I walked towards the mourning hall one step ahead of him, talking as I walked.

"It's not difficult, come with me."

In the courtyard behind him, there was a dead silence!
