Chapter 34 The crime of smuggling is intolerable by reason
Sister Yun looked at me in a daze, and seeing that my emotions gradually calmed down, she pondered for a while and said slowly:
"Sister, don't be angry. Listen to me: No matter what you say, take 10,000 steps back, Xiaofeng, he is still my child and his father! The old man said that the nature of father and son is passed down from one line to another. This layer of relationship will never change. Huzi's surname is Wang, and his body is full of the blood of the Wang family; He is my son, and even more so the son of Xiaofeng. You say, how can I break off my relationship with him? If he is well, my child will have a future to rely on; If he is not good, my child will lose his support and future. Father and son are closely related by blood! If you think about it this way, our relationship is only afraid that it will be inseparable and inseparable in this life, and it will always be linked! How can I not think about him, not ask, and ignore him? ”
She stared at me with both eyes, intently, as if there were infinite reasons and endless grievances. I read in her gaze infatuation, persistence, and steadfastness. I also felt as if she was begging me not to blame Wang Xiaofeng anymore to stimulate her and shake her existing beliefs, which would make her feel even more aggrieved and sad. It seems that the relationship between her and Wang Xiaofeng is destined to be inseparable in this life because of Huzi.
At this time, I regretted that I shouldn't have said so many harsh words to criticize and ridicule Wang Xiaofeng, so as to make Sister Yun sad and sad. So I began to sympathize with her again, and pity her. I peeled another apple and handed it to her, urging her to eat it quickly. But I always thought about Sister Yun's grievances and misfortunes in my heart, and I couldn't let go: she paid so much for Wang Xiaofeng and supported and assisted so much, so that Wang Xiaofeng's knowledge and talents had the opportunity to play and expand, and step by step out of the predicament and become developed and rich; But in the end, Wang Xiaofeng did not thank her and cherish her, but was ungrateful, empathetic, and abandoned her like an old rag. Now that the relationship between husband and wife no longer exists, like a stranger, she still does not change, thinking about him as always, loving him, and even taking into account the family relationship between the child and him, so as to see it as a link between them, like a life-saving straw, clinging to it, and firmly believing in it, never forgetting. Such infatuation and persistence are really rare and rare in the world! I had to say:
"What you said is also true, no matter how your relationship changes, existence and non-existence, the relationship between him and Huzi can never be changed - father and son nature, tiger poison does not eat children, Huzi is his biological son after all, it is passed down from generation to generation, blood is thicker than water, and family affection will always be cut. Huzi is also what he has hugged and hurt since he was a child, and it will inevitably hurt to panic when separated, even if you are divorced, he will forget love, and he can't forget family affection, so no matter what, he has to come back to see his son. ”
Speaking of which, I think of the tiger-headed, lively and cute tiger son again. Every time I go home, no matter what I eat or play, I have to buy some for him; When he received the gift, he always called me "aunt" affectionately; My heart was so sweet that I couldn't help but hold him in my arms, kiss and kiss, say "good boy", and after putting it down, I watched him run out to play with the gift and show off to the children, looking very cute! Thinking that he lived in a broken single-parent family at such a young age, and was usually cared for and loved by few people, he felt sad and unbearable, and wanted to shed tears. So I asked Sister Yun:
"Wang Xiaofeng went to see Huzi? What gifts did you buy? It must be quite a lot, right? The big boss, there must always be a big boss, otherwise it will be too picky, not only the children look down on him, but the people in the village will also talk about him: become the boss, the wife doesn't want it, the son doesn't want it, and there will be a big shift change together! There is really a late mother and a late father! ”
Sister Yun blushed and didn't answer, just shook her head gently, meaning that Wang Xiaofeng didn't look at Huzi. Then she hung her head, looking very embarrassed and sad, and her face became even more ugly, so that she secretly wiped away her tears.
It seems that Wang Xiaofeng didn't go to see Huzi, which made Sister Yun very sad and sad, and even more unacceptable than divorcing her; Because Huzi is the crystallization of her and Wang Xiaofeng's love, and it is the only link between her and Wang Xiaofeng. Now that Wang Xiaofeng doesn't even want such a precious and important crystallization and bond, can he not make Sister Yun sad? However, she didn't want to show it all, secretly hid her heart and didn't say a word. At this moment, humiliation, shame, pain, and remorse all pressed her so hard that she couldn't raise her head and had nothing to say.
My recklessness made Sister Yun sad again, I was really embarrassed, so I hurriedly wiped her tears with a towel, handed her the teacup and persuaded her to drink tea, and self-deprecated and said:
"Who cares about his little thing? Only care about the heart; Since he doesn't have that heart, no matter how many things we have, we are not rare. Don't be sad, it's not worth it to be sad and shed tears for a conscienceless person like him! ”
It took some persuasion to make Sister Yun stop crying, but she still refused to speak. I can't say anything more, lest I provoke her to tears again.
However, Wang Xiaofeng returned home thousands of miles, but did not come to visit his own son, and did not even buy a gift for Huzi, which seems to be a little unreasonable: no matter how fast he Wang Xiaofeng's thinking changes in Shenzhen, no matter how unreasonable he is, it will not be so bad. So I tentatively asked Sister Yun:
"Seriously, Sister Yun, what is Wang Xiaofeng coming back for this time? I know that he has a family and a business in Shenzhen, and he is a busy man, and he will not go home easily without major events. The first time I came back, I drove a car and took Miss Mei with me, which was showing off; The second time, he came back quietly, unassumingly, that was looking for something to divorce you, afraid that the people in the village would scold him for being ungrateful. Now, the marriage is also divorced, Miss Mei is also married, her career is booming, and her goal has been achieved. What did he come back for this time? There must be a reason. His parents are healthy, and he hasn't heard anything big at home, so he must have something important when he came back from afar? ”
I looked at Sister Yun and lured her to tell her the purpose of Wang Xiaofeng's return.
"I don't know." After a long time, Sister Yun shook her head and only said three words.
"Don't know?!"
I wondered and felt incomprehensible: You came from the countryside to talk to me about Wang Xiaofeng and begged me for help, but you didn't know anything about him, what are you talking about? What do you want me to do for you? Headless and brainless, how can I help you? I saw that she was in a bad mood, so I refused to say, and it was inconvenient to ask deeply for a while, so I had to put it in my heart for the time being, and silently guessed by myself. I suddenly remembered an incident that is widely spread in the society at present: now some businessmen who have made a lot of money outside have returned to their hometowns to start businesses and set up factories, thus driving the economic take-off of their hometowns, and they themselves are also seeking new development in them. Wang Xiaofeng is a person who likes to show off, doing business in the town, and winning a plaque of "10,000 yuan households, hard-working and wealthy leaders" is still hanging in the store to show off. So I said:
"Wang Xiaofeng is rich now, and he is about to make a big show. When he came back this time, did he want to invest in his hometown and set up a factory and become an entrepreneur? - If this is the case, it is a great thing for the people of my hometown! Return to his hometown in fine clothes, benefit Sangzi, and also accumulate some merit for himself, make up for his previous lack of virtue, and ask God to repay him a little less. ”
Sister Yun's face turned even redder, and she shook her head again and again in denial. She knew that I had completely misunderstood Wang Xiaofeng's intention to come back this time, it was pure guessing, and she didn't know where to guess later, so she couldn't help but tell what she heard about Wang Xiaofeng from the village:
"I don't think he's coming back to invest in a factory. According to the people who saw him, when he came back this time, he had been hiding at home and refusing to go out to see anyone, his hair was messy, his beard was not shaved, he always sighed when he spoke, his clothes were dirty and wrinkled, he did not wear a tie, and he looked very depressed......"
I was taken aback and hurriedly asked:
"How so? Didn't he make a fortune in Shenzhen? The last time I came back, I was wearing a suit and tie, a big bun, my hair was as bright as a cow licked, driving a BMW car, with Miss Mei, who was dressed fashionably and full of jewels, the spring breeze was proud, and she had a big style, so majestic! Now, how could it suddenly become like this, so depressed? ”
I thought about it repeatedly and always felt impossible: Wang Xiaofeng has so much money, is doing such a good business, and now has the support of Miss Mei, not long ago he was so magnificent and majestic, how could he fall into such a situation in a blink of an eye? Why did you lose so quickly, so badly? Even if you lose tens of thousands of dollars in gambling and lose a business, it is impossible to lose like this? However, looking at Sister Yun's expression, this seems to be true again. Thankfully, if he really fell into such a situation, it made me feel angry and relieved. However, I still can't believe it's true. I knew that Wang Xiaofeng had always been scheming and unpredictable, and this may not be the case, so I said:
"Wang Xiaofeng shouldn't be pretending to be garlic, right? deliberately pretended to be poor, pathetic and pitiful, firstly to prevent the neighbors from borrowing money from him, and secondly, to make the villagers scold him less. Since he divorced you, I don't know how many people in the village have scolded him for losing his conscience and being rotten, can he still have a rumor? Ears don't feel? ”
Sister Yun saw that I was unbearable, and hurriedly waved her hand to stop me. She quietly wiped a handful of tears and whispered:
"Sister, don't say it. I didn't see him in person, so I don't know what the situation was. According to his parents, the neighbors next to his house seemed to say that he was doing business with foreigners at sea, he was defenseless, he was caught by the customs, the goods, cars, and houses were confiscated, and Miss Mei also broke up with him, he had just been released from prison, and now he was empty-handed and had nothing! ”
This time, I finally understood that Wang Xiaofeng was really downcast and in trouble; I was even more surprised: Wang Xiaofeng was so generous and rich in Shenzhen, but it turned out that he was engaged in maritime smuggling! Surprised and scared, I stared at Sister Yun and said loudly:
"You know what? That's not called business, it's called smuggling! It's against the law of the land! No wonder he made a fortune and got rich quickly, it turned out that he was doing this kind of thing! It's really a money obsession, forgetting righteousness when you see profit, and losing your conscience! ”
Thinking that Wang Xiaofeng forgot his past kindness after making a fortune, ruthlessly abandoned Sister Yun and married a new love, I was even more angry. I feel relieved of what happened to him today, thinking that he is completely to blame and deserves it, and that if he is not punished in this way, it will not be enough to be angry and not enough to do justice. I was indignant, and I felt that it should have been so, and it should have been so. It's really a magnificent, negligent but not leaky. I stood up and walked around the room, then stood under the window, pointed to the bright sun and blue sky outside the window, and commented:
"He, Wang Xiaofeng, dared to ignore his conscience, violate the law of the country, and do such lawless things as selling smuggling, and now he has been caught and punished by the customs, and he deserves it! It is long overdue for him to stumble and be downcast; Otherwise, let those who do evil and break the law go unpunished, become rich and rich, there will be no conscience in this world, and God will not be fair, and indulge him even more, making him arrogant, not knowing that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the national law is intolerable! ”
When Sister Yun heard me say this, she shook her head again, shed tears, and was infinitely sad; It seems that I should not say this, let alone say it so seriously and unbearable. So I explained:
"Sister Yun, listen to me. The purpose of reform and opening up is to invigorate the economy, to make the masses of the people rich as soon as possible, and to make the country rich and strong as soon as possible. However, we must operate legally and become rich through hard work, and we must absolutely not speculate and do things that violate law and discipline. This is the principle, the bottom line! He is good, but he is not good at working, he makes money with his labor, gets rich, and thinks crookedly. Take crooked ways, dig into the corners of the country, and get nothing for nothing. I have succeeded several times, made a lot of money, and I have cars, buildings, and beautiful women, but I don't know how to stop it. I am getting bolder and bolder, I can't recognize the east, west, north and south, and I only recognize money in my eyes, and I only think about making a lot of money and making a fortune. He doesn't ask if it's reasonable? Is it allowed by law? As long as you can make money, you dare to do anything. Where do you still think about the education of school teachers? Still thinking that the country has laws and that people have families? Thinking of father, mother, wife, son? Now it is the anger of heaven and the resentment of the people, the reason of heaven is not tolerated, and the law of the country is not tolerated, so punish him together and take revenge on him. - This is what people are doing, the sky is watching, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end! ”
Sister Yun just kept crying, wiping her tears, she couldn't help but mourn, but she couldn't say a word. I can't bear to say any more. Then I remembered a series of things: this incident not only brought disaster to Wang Xiaofeng, he deserved it; However, it also brought misfortune to Sister Yun, Huzi and his parents: when they divorced, Wang Xiaofeng promised to pay Huzi 200 yuan a month for living expenses, as well as for the living expenses of his parents, and now that Wang Xiaofeng is so down, can he still afford it? Huzi has no living expenses, how will his mother and son live in the future? Can Huzi continue to go to school? His parents have no living expenses and can't farm, how will they live in the future? I can't help but worry about the future lives of Huzi, Sister Yun and Xiaofeng's parents. Sighing:
"Alas! It's just a pity that the punishment came too late! If he came earlier, he wouldn't be like that, and you wouldn't be like that, and neither would his parents be like that. Now that he has fallen to this step of the field, needless to say, Huzi's living expenses have also been lost, and Huzi's life depends on you; Although his father had a crippled leg, he had to work in the fields with his mother. I don't know if his life alone is bad, or if the life of this cadre is not good? Is God punishing one of them, or is he punishing so many? It's a pity, Xiaofeng! After so many years of hard work, if you are not careful, you will lose everything. My Sister Yun, what should you do in the future? Who does Huzi rely on? You have to think about it and plan it carefully. Now Wang Xiaofeng is empty-handed and too busy to take care of himself, which is pitiful enough. It seems that you two want to rely on him to live, but I'm afraid you can't rely on him! His parents are not enough for him to take care of? You and Huzi will all rely on yourselves from now on. You don't have any more unrealistic fantasies. ”
I was compassionate and talked about my anger, dissatisfaction and criticism of Wang Xiaofeng's unrighteous behavior, as well as my sympathy and pity for Sister Yun, Huzi and Xiaofeng's parents. However, after all, Wang Xiaofeng has been my fellow classmate for many years, a good young man with ideals and talents. Thinking of the family affection in his hometown and the friendship of his classmates, he felt very sorry and sympathetic, not only for Wang Xiaofeng, but also for Sister Yun, Huzi and Xiaofeng's parents.
