Chapter 25: Face-to-face

She was obviously a victim, but she was so careful.

Chen Jiayan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes into a faint mark, then lowered his head and pulled the corner of his handkerchief, and muttered.

"My own father died a long time ago, it was my stepfather, my mother has Alzheimer's, I know him now, even I can't remember."

Chen Jiayan slumped in his chair and muttered, "As long as I give him money, he can be nice to my mother, or my mother's life will not be paid." ”

"I thought about taking her to me, but she didn't know me at all, and she ran out for three days."

Suddenly, a long sigh came out of her mouth: "I didn't dare to call the police, it's also because of this." ”

I threw the snakeskin bag left by the old man in front of her: "Your money will never fill this bag." ”

"It's like you spend all your life in the middle of your life and can't fill his greed."

Chen Jiayan shook his head firmly: "I understand the truth, all my money was drunk by him." ”

"You ......"

I was a little speechless for a while, and even hated that iron could not be made of steel.

"You know everything, and you still endure it?"

"He's in a good mood after drinking, and my mom can live more comfortably. At least, you don't have to eat bitter flesh and skin. ”

As the old saying goes, don't persuade others to be kind until they suffer.

I suddenly felt that I was just standing and talking without backache.

After a pause, Chen Jiayan came to his senses and asked in a low voice, "Those two people, won't they do anything to him, right?" ”

"No, it won't."

I barely hesitated, and spat out, "At most, it's a small lesson." ”

There was another deathly silence.

After a moment, I asked softly, "You're still going to give him money, right?" ”

This is both a question and an answer.

Without waiting for her to speak, I added, "I'll help you figure it out." ”

Chen Jiayan almost stared at me with a foolish look, the boss with his eyes.

Perhaps in her eyes, my words appeared very abruptly.

But for me, I couldn't be more normal.

At this moment, I thought of my father, who should have been cut with a thousand cuts, and my own mother who was made into a yin boy.

The rope is broken in detail, and fate is difficult for people.

I was in a different situation from hers, but I was also bruised by life.

In this case, it is better to huddle together to keep warm.

After a while, Chen Jiayan asked tentatively: "Do you have a way?" ”

"I can endure hardship!"

As if she was afraid that I would regret it, she hurriedly added another sentence.

Tut.

I still have a famine that I haven't paid off, and it's not nonsense to help Chen Jiayan scrape together tens of thousands of yuan in a short period of time.

It's a fantasy.

Borrow money? It's definitely not going to work.

"Why don't I go to Boss Wang's funeral shop again?"

Chen Jiayan hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head: "Far water can't quench your thirst, so you have to get this money today." ”

"I just feel sorry for my mom."

She didn't say words, but a needle that pierced me hard.

I envy her, she still has a mother, and she has the opportunity to do her filial piety.

Whether it's out of morality or out of likeness, I'm in charge of this today!

I patted Chen Jiayan, looked out the window again, and lowered my voice.

"Liu Shan is staring at me like a fly, you have to help me keep a sentry, once there is a wind and grass, you have to help me cover up."

Chen Jiayan was stunned and asked rhetorically: "Then I can't follow him?" ”

"You don't have to."

I thought about it before and after, and analyzed it carefully: "If Liu Shan wants to bring me down, he will definitely grab my pigtails, and the best handle is to catch me leaving my post without authorization." ”

"In case you come to work, you, the mortuary, must be the first to know, and then you will say that I have a stomach problem."

Chen Jiayan thought about it, and suddenly showed a trace of worry on his face.

"Then when you come back, you will definitely be caught!"

I leaned over the window and looked, "No, the toilet is connected to the outer wall, I'll just come in from there." ”

After saying that, I carefully observed, and after making sure that it was safe, I walked out of the funeral home with a dull head.

When I went out, I called Liu Bald and asked for the contact information of the two strong men just now.

As soon as the phone called, I asked where they were.

Fortunately, it was not too far from me, in the woods opposite the funeral home, and I walked along the path and finally found them.

In the woods, the old man sat on the ground with his back against the tree, and two strong men stood on either side of him with their arms folded and their sleeves folded.

And not far away, there are two torn cotton jackets scattered.

It's at least 20 degrees outside, what's the use of making such a padded jacket?

In an instant, I suddenly understood that these two strong men were veterans at first glance.

If you put your clothes over your body and beat you, you can't see the trauma at all, but the pain can double in a straight line.

Tut.

It is estimated that this old man has suffered a lot of crimes.
