Chapter 539: Closest Relatives (3)
Shi Juan made up her mind, and the person was swept away. As a result, Zhong Chengfu was helpless.
This would have been the normal state of their home. His father has always been in poor health, and the pillar of the family has always been his mother Shi Juan. Shi Juan herself is also hardworking, strong, and motivated, and has shouldered the burden of the family, and is the elder Zhong Chengfu has always admired the most. Over the years, Zhong Chengfu graduated from university, found a job, became a family, became a father, and gradually took on his own small family, and the way he got along with his parents in the family has also changed, but after all, it has not reversed to the point where he decides his parents' lives by his dictatorship.
Zhong Chengfu said that he couldn't move Shi Juan, so he could only compromise.
Shi Juan was still a little stunned in the end. Although he decided to attend Wu Jingwei's memorial service, and knew that he would meet Ma Jiayi's parents tomorrow, he didn't dare to greet them first tonight.
Her anxiety was seen by Zhong Chengfu.
"Otherwise, I still won't go. Or let's go by ourselves, go early, you go and have a stick of incense, and we'll go home, there's no need to stay that long. Zhong Chengfu said unrelentingly, "I don't think they have good intentions. What is you doing with a babysitter who asked you to go to a memorial service? Still with that attitude...... Are they trying to do something? That little three......"
"Miss Ma doesn't have any bad intentions." Shi Juan abruptly interrupted Zhong Chengfu's words.
Zhong Chengfu said disdainfully: "She is a junior, what good thoughts can she have?" ”
"They're not that kind either...... They are rich people, unlike us. Mr. Wu's wife doesn't care, she also came to see Miss Ma. Shi Juan explained, "That kid ...... The child, Mrs. Wu also said, was born very well. Their family's property has long been clearly divided, and there will be no such disputes. ”
"That kind of person, one thing in front of you and one thing behind your back. Who knows what's going on in her heart? Maybe she was jealous of the junior and was afraid that the junior son would rob the property, so she ...... "Zhong Chengfu used his experience of accompanying his wife to watch bloody TV series to guess the situation of the Wu family."
Shi Juan shook her head vigorously, her face becoming more and more pale.
"You are taking care of that junior, their family is looking for you, and you want the junior's parents to go over...... Did the child be secretly born a long time ago? Zhong Chengfu guessed, and didn't wait for Shi Juan to answer, "Mom, don't go." Tomorrow they don't know what they're going to do. ”
Shi Juan grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands, and lowered her head.
Zhong Chengfu said a few more words, and seeing that Shi Juan had been silent, he thought that she was silent and opposed, so he had to sigh, "Forget it, forget it...... Then go to bed early. I don't know what they're going to toss tomorrow. I'll go wash my face and brush my teeth first. ”
When Zhong Chengfu came out of the toilet, he saw Shi Juan maintaining the posture just now, still sitting there without saying a word. That's when he realized something was wrong.
"Mom? Mom ......" Zhong Chengfu leaned over, and when he saw Shi Juan's distracted eyes, he suddenly became anxious.
Shi Juan came back to her senses and looked at Zhong Chengfu, but her eyes were still straight.
"Mom, are you alright? Are you uncomfortable? I'll call an ambulance......" Zhong Chengfu jumped up excitedly.
His arm was grabbed by Shi Juan.
Zhong Chengfu looked down at Shi Juan.
Shi Juan raised her face and said sadly: "Son, Ah Fu, I, I'll tell you...... You don't talk nonsense. You're at the memorial service tomorrow, don't talk nonsense. ”
Zhong Chengfu was confused, "Mom, what do you want?" I'll tell you about it. I don't want to talk to them. If you hadn't wanted to go to the memorial service, we'd have gone straight home tomorrow and we'll never run into them again in our lives. ”
"Hmm...... That's good...... Tomorrow is gone, don't talk nonsense. You can't say that kind of thing. They...... They're actually good people. Shi Juan slowly let go of her hand.
Zhong Chengfu suddenly felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
"They're also unlucky to have this kind of thing...... They...... They're miserable ...... too."
"Alright, don't think about it so much. Go to bed early. Zhong Chengfu said helplessly.
Zhong Chengfu persuaded Shi Juan to go to bed earlier, but he didn't fall asleep on this narrow bed for a long time.
An arm's length away is the single bed where Shi Juan is lying. Zhong Chengfu reached out and touched Shi Juan's arm.
At such a close distance, Zhong Chengfu didn't hear the slightest sound of breathing.
Shi Juan lay upright on the bed, not turning once, not even moving her body slightly.
She probably wasn't asleep either.
Zhong Chengfu thought of what the police said to him, and thought of Shi Juan's short-term abnormality before, and the more he thought about it, the heavier his mood became.
He turned over and looked at Shi Juan.
The hotel's thin curtains were not enough to block out the moonlight outside. The weather tonight is still very good, cloudless and the full moon is high. Zhong Chengfu could easily see Shi Juan's side face.
It was as if it was the first time he had carefully observed his mother's face. He had only looked at his wife's face and his daughter's face carefully, although only a handful of times had done so.
Shi Juan has thin crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and two marks on her forehead. The corners of her mouth were pulled down, and the nasolabial folds were revealed. Zhong Chengfu realized for the first time that his mother was old. He then noticed Shi Juan's tense countenance. Shi Juan's eyelids were twitching slightly, and you could imagine the restless eyeballs under the thin layer of eyelids. This is a manifestation of fear, a physiological phenomenon that cannot be suppressed.
Zhong Chengfu lowered his voice, "Mom......"
Shi Juan's body became even tighter, as if the nerves all over her body were beating at this moment.
"Mom, tell me about it. You told Aunt Xiaoshun, why didn't you tell us? Zhong Chengfu said seductively, but there was some grievance in his tone that he was not aware of.
Shi Juan immediately thought of Zhong Chengfu when he was a child.
Her husband is not in good health and cannot do heavy work. None of them have a diploma and can't do office work. At that time, she hadn't gone out to work with anyone, the conditions at home were really bad, Zhong Chengfu always wore old clothes that didn't fit, and the pencil head was used until the rest was short, which was enough to pinch with two fingers, and she was reluctant to lose it.
It's not that they are really poor to this extent, it's just that thinking about their husband's long-term medical expenses, thinking about their son's future schooling, marrying a wife and having children, are all big expenses, and they can't help but save.
Zhong Chengfu followed them to live this kind of life, he never lost his temper, never played a temperament, and he was not like other people's children, clamoring for this and that.
Shi Juan still remembers the first time her son had a pout with herself, and begged her aggrievedly, when she decided to go out to work.
At that time, the son, who had already begun to rise taller, was as thin as a bamboo pole, the young man's chin was a little more blue, and the male duck spoke in a hard voice, and his words were simple, just "Mom, don't go", and there was no more.
That voice briefly made Shi Juan think that she had heard it wrong.
She worked outside for a year, and when she came home during the Chinese New Year, she saw her son's red eyes. She later learned that at that time, her relatives were talking to him nonsense, and he thought she was going to abandon their father and son and fly away. Every time Shi Juan thought about this, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
Shi Juan opened her eyes and turned her head to look at Zhong Chengfu.
What she saw was not the boy she remembered.
Zhong Chengfu now has a tendency to get rich in middle age, but Shi Juan is still distressed.
"I'm not hiding it from you...... I...... I really don't know what to say......" Shi Juan muttered, "I don't know if what I'm seeing is true or not." How could there be such a thing...... But...... But they were all dead...... It's really all dead......"
Zhong Chengfu's heart jumped.
Shi Juan opened the conversation box and recounted the matter from beginning to end. This is what she has practiced many times under Wu Jingwei's instructions, and it is natural and fluent to speak.
But to Zhong Chengfu's ears, his mother seemed to be stunned, she was caught by something, and the words that came out of her mouth didn't pass through her brain, and it didn't seem like she was talking at all.
Shi Juan's expression was in a trance under the moonlight, as if it had been processed by a special filter, and it was not like a real person at all.
The more Zhong Chengfu listened, the more scared he became, but it was not that he was afraid of what Shi Juan said, but that the police had reminded him before not to let Shi Juan fall into the cult as soon as he stumbled. Shi Juan's current mental state is like that of those who are fascinated.
Zhong Chengfu was scared, but he didn't dare to interrupt Shi Juan directly.
Shi Juan's narrative has gradually changed from that sleepwalking state to normal.
She said that the masters invited by Wu Jingwei disappeared one after another, and in the end, only two people remained......
“…… The young man was here today. For the first time, Shi Juan's narration showed a time jump, as if she came to it casually, and said when she thought of it, "He asked me for the address of Miss Ma's house...... He said it was okay and said I was okay. But I ...... But those people are dead......"
Tears suddenly welled up in Shi Juan's eyes.
Because Li Yun's soothing and calm heart, at this moment, there were waves again.
As a survivor, she was born with new emotions after fear and rejoicing. It was an indescribable sadness and sympathy.
Ma Jiayi is not a bad person, Wu Jingwei probably didn't do anything evil, Yu Li on the one side seems to be a very good-tempered and well-educated person, and those masters also look like decent people...... They were all dead. Only she is still alive.
Shi Juan didn't know what kind of situation she was in.
Wu Jingwei's son-in-law and daughter-in-law came to her, probably as Zhong Chengfu said, with bad intentions, but Shi Juan had some empathy for them at this moment, as if she could understand their dislike for herself.
There was a feeling of guilt in her heart. She watched Ma Jiayi die little by little. Although in those days, she didn't know that Ma Jiayi would die in the end.
Zhong Chengfu sat up, and in a bit of a hurry, he found a few crumpled tissues and wiped Shi Juan's face.
"Mom, you're thinking too much. You've been led astray by them. Zhong Chengfu pondered for a while and said slowly, "Let me tell you, didn't the police take me to the back office when I went to the police station before?" He actually told me something. ”
Shi Juan wiped her tears and was pulled up by Zhong Chengfu.
"He told me that Wu Jingwei is not a good person. He seems to be doing serious business, but behind the scenes, he is actually engaged in that kind of crooked and evil things. Didn't you also say that he invited those masters? Is there any master in this world? ”
Shi Juan didn't believe it, "I saw it with my own eyes, those things entangled Miss Ma......"
"You are being calculated by them. Have you seen the previous anti-drug propaganda videos? Those who have taken drugs have no clear brains. Also, those cults would have played tricks thousands of years ago, what kind of hand into the oil pot, yellow table paper turned red and pretended to be blood, these are all chemical methods. Now it's more advanced, get some drugs, and get some high-tech light and shadow effects. Zhong Chengfu swore that "the police are investigating them." I've been investigating this thing for so long, and I'm investigating this. You said it yourself, that Miss Ma also doubted Wu Jingwei's wife, right? Can she not know if she really hit a ghost, or if she was calculated? She suddenly deteriorated, and she was also taken to the hospital, right? That hospital is full of people from Wu Jingwei and his wife. ”
Shi Juan still didn't believe it.
Zhong Chengfu said anxiously: "Don't believe it! I'll find you a film online, you wait. Let me tell you, this kind of crime is the same as fraud and crime, the police often publicize it, you just can't see it, when the wind is in your ears, and when you touch it, you will be scared stupid. You still think it's haunted, there's a ghost. There are really ghosts in the world, so what else do you need the law for? So what can ordinary people do? Can a man fight a ghost? They can kill as much as they want. ”
Zhong Chengfu found some anti-cult and anti-drug propaganda videos and played them for Shi Juan. Shi Juan looked absent-minded.
Zhong Chengfu racked his brains, so he had to say: "Then let me ask you, you said that those ghosts entangled that Miss Ma." What are they doing with that Miss Ma? So there are no other stomachs in the hospital? They are looking for the firstborn in the belly, and they are not looking for the belly of a junior, right? If they want to harm people, how can the patients who come and go in the hospital, the doctors and nurses who are there every day, be fine? ”
Shi Juan was stunned.
"And that Wu Jingwei, you also said, his son and daughter are all adults. He himself has a third generation, and the family inheritance is divided. His wife doesn't care about the mistress. Tell me, if you really don't care, why did his wife make a special trip? I really like children, how can this kind of rich person not be born? It's really going to be separated, their family is holding a memorial service now, could it be that the son-in-law and daughter-in-law sent someone from each family? Zhong Chengfu asked, "How can their family be so peaceful?" This ordinary family, a house can make a brother beat a dog's brain, how many houses does that Wu Jingwei have? It's just that his son and daughter have a good relationship and don't mind this matter, what about the daughter-in-law and son-in-law? Can you accept it so willingly? ”
The more Zhong Chengfu spoke, the more excited he became, "Look at now, their family is dead, and it is the daughter-in-law and son-in-law who are in charge!" ”
"No, that ghost found Miss Ma, not Mr. Wu, she ......" Shi Juan was speechless for a while, and her thoughts became confused.
"What did she do that the devil found her? She will also be a junior for that Wu Jingwei, right? You said that Wu Jingwei's wife doesn't mind, and his family doesn't mind either. So who did she offend? Zhong Chengfu asked.
"This ...... Maybe it's just ......" Shi Juan opened her mouth.
"Then to put it this way, those murderers, murderers who kill people all over the world, and kill dozens of people, why don't there be ghosts targeting?"
"Ghosts are afraid of murderers......"
"Then the Wu family is not fierce? That ghost killed Miss Ma, why did he still kill Wu Jingwei Manmen? Didn't it find Miss Ma? ”
"This ghost is even more fierce, it's a murderous ......" Shi Juan said more and more unconfident.
"It's so fierce, it killed so many people, and it let you go? Let go of the parents of the junior? It also put the daughter-in-law and son-in-law of the Wu family, and the grandson or something, right? That irrelevant person in the nursing home was killed? Zhong Chengfu immediately asked a series of questions.
Shi Juan couldn't answer these questions.
"I'll tell you, there are no ghosts in this world. It's all human stuff. Those rich people are very black-hearted and play too much. They seek excitement, so they get some medicine and something...... You used to be a nanny for other people, and you were a serious person, and you haven't been exposed to any of this. Zhong Chengfu said bitterly, "I think they are just making excuses, brainwashing you, and making you think that they are haunted." They killed people, and this is the only way to cover up the past and try to escape justice. Tomorrow at the memorial service, they will definitely threaten you again and make you speak according to their will. ”
When Zhong Chengfu said this, he had a flash of inspiration, "I think that tomorrow, his daughter-in-law and son-in-law's two families will definitely fight." They are trying to fight for property. The last time you came into contact with the person surnamed Wu, they will definitely lie to you and make you say that the person surnamed Wu has made a will or something. As he spoke, his words changed, "If there is really a ghost, the surname Wu can let his family make trouble like this?" He's been dead for a while, and the memorial service is only now open. No one can settle in the ground. Besides, if there is a ghost, why should his son-in-law and daughter-in-law look for you? They brought the ghost here, whether it was to let the dead man surnamed Wu explain the will, or to let him kill the other family who robbed the inheritance, it was okay. They have money and people, if they really want to have ghosts, there is always a way, right? ”
"The ghost is so easy to ......" Shi Juan stammered, stubbornly trying to refute her son's "fallacies". It's just that she really can't explain the ghost's things, and she can't refute them reasonably.
"Then we'll see tomorrow. You see what they say tomorrow. Zhong Chengfu said firmly.
Shi Juan couldn't help but shake.
