Chapter 56: Telling
When he exiled Zhuang Feng, Tang Guiyi chose to be silent, in fact, he was also selfish, or he Tang Guiyi admitted that he was the strongest person among their brothers, since this was the case, then why couldn't he control the Zhuang family;
At that time, Tang Guiyi's most real thought in his heart was to agree with the exile of Zhuang Feng and let him Tang Guiyi control the Zhuang family, but he didn't think about what to do with Zhuang Feng, just by banishing Zhuang Feng to show his ability, and then take Zhuang Feng back, let Zhuang Feng still be the head of the Zhuang family, he Tang Guiyi managed the family for Zhuang Feng, Zhuang Feng only needed to be a foot boss;
Tang Guiyi, out of such selfishness, chose to remain silent when his uncles betrayed him;
There is a saying called one wrong step, one wrong step; Tang Guiyi's selfishness led to the later development of things out of control, or Tang Guiyi underestimated Zhuang Feng and looked down on himself;
Later, when Zhuang Feng regained control of the family and cleaned up the betrayed four elders of the Tang family, Tang Guiyi still did not admit that he was inferior to Zhuang Feng, so he left Zhuang Feng under the bewitchment of his uncle's die-hard brother subordinates;
At that time, Tang Guiyi was not only angry with Zhuang Feng for purging his uncle, this is a fact, Tang Guiyi did not have the so-called deep hatred for Zhuang Feng like the hatred of killing his father, and some were just Zhuang Feng disregarded brotherhood and actually directly eliminated his uncle, instead of talking to himself in advance, nor did he look at his uncle who had been letting go of his uncle for many years of brotherhood;
In addition to being angry with Zhuang Feng, Tang Guiyi also wanted to pull the remnants of his uncle's subordinates out to stand on his own, in order to prove that his ability was far superior to Zhuang Feng;
It's just that some things are not what you think you can control, when Zhuang Feng's wife was attacked and killed, Tang Guiyi understood that there was hatred between him and Zhuang Feng;
What happened later, that is, Zhuang Feng swallowed the southwest half of the wall, made Tang Guiyi begin to face himself and Zhuang Feng's ability;
Perhaps, Zhuang Feng is not worse than himself; Tang Guiyi thought like this at that time, he didn't think that Zhuang Feng was stronger than himself, but he just thought that Zhuang Feng was not worse than himself;
Time has passed to the present, and now now, Tang Guiyi really figured out the truth;
In terms of ability to handle things alone, Tang Guiyi is indeed the strongest person among their brothers; however, as the head of a family or the controller of a force, sometimes he doesn't need such a strong ability to handle things, but something else;
For example, the understanding of human nature, the control of people's hearts, knowing how to coordinate the interests of all parties, being able to pretend to be a grandson, will never be a high-minded uncle, and can bend and stretch, everything can be carried by oneself, and there is no need to tell others that they can clearly know that they are sick in the case of schizophrenia, know that they are schizophrenic, but look at their own two split spirits like a third-party bystander;
Tang Guiyi lacked these things, Tang Guiyi couldn't understand it in the past, but when Zhou Jian was still alive and had a far stronger power than him Tang Guiyi, he figured it out;
Tang Guiyi knew the relationship between Zhuang Feng and Zhou Jian, but the relationship between Zhou Jian and him, Tang Guiyi and other people was extremely ordinary, and even Tang Guiyi once felt that Zhou Jian's relationship with them was purely to look at Zhuang Feng's face, not because of any feelings, and Zhou Jian looked down on other people except Zhuang Feng at all when he played real feelings;
At that time, Tang Guiyi was still thinking with some resentment, didn't Zhou Jian be born as the head of the family because of his good fate, and his ability was not as good as his Tang Guiyi;
Zhou, Zhou Jian only has a deep relationship with Zhuang Feng, isn't that because Zhuang Feng is in the same position as him Zhou Jian, and he doesn't have many true feelings;
Now Tang Guiyi understands that Zhou Jian and Zhuang Feng's relationship is real, and also understands why they have such a deep friendship, because they are the same kind, with common hobbies, common dreams, and even the same ability;
Thinking through these things, for Tang Guiyi, it is definitely a kind of spiritual sublimation;
People are like this, after understanding certain things at some point, there will be natural changes;
Zhuang Feng looked at the change in Tang Guiyi's love, and probably knew what Tang Guiyi was thinking, and this result was also what Zhuang Feng wanted, although it was too late for Tang Guiyi to figure it out, but Zhuang Feng finally waited for the real help he needed;
Zhuang Feng admitted that Tang Guiyi was the strongest person among their brothers, and even the old man Zhuang admitted it, and also talked with Zhuang Feng about who was the most suitable assistant to Zhuang Feng or the chief executive of the Zhuang family after Zhuang Feng took over the family;
Tang Guiyi has enough ability, Tang Guiyi's father is also the life and death brother of Old Man Zhuang, and Tang Guiyi naturally has enough loyalty;
The only thing lacking is Tang Guiyi's temperament, which is too conceited, and the person who is too conceited is the one that Zhuang Feng and the old man Zhuang have reached together, and it is also the point that Tang Guiyi is most unsuitable to become the chief executive of the Zhuang family;
A person who is capable and loyal enough has an obvious shortcoming, Zhuang Feng and Old Man Zhuang have some regrets about this, the so-called no one is perfect, probably in such a situation;
Zhuang Feng has been waiting for Tang Guiyi's change, why wait, because Zhuang Feng has never done what is difficult for a strong man, and if a person wants to change, he can only rely on himself;
"Understood?" Zhuang looked at Tang Guiyi's complicated expression and asked there;
"I seem to understand;" Tang Guiyi himself also wants to understand many things, but it will take time to make changes;
"If you understand, you understand, if you don't understand, you don't understand, there is no like, it seems, a little;" Zhuang Feng said unceremoniously;
"Understood;" Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng's unceremonious appearance and said firmly;
"If you understand, you will do it, and if you do it, you will do it well;
"I'm your brother, don't talk to me in that childlike tone;" Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng's serious appearance and responded unceremoniously there;
"Okay, my brother;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi's unceremonious appearance, knowing that Tang Guiyi had indeed passed the calamity in his heart, and said jokingly there;
"Little brother, it's so good;" Tang Guiyi said with a smile;
"Sue, this seat is Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today, don't describe it as good?" Zhuang Feng looked indignant;
"No problem;" Tang Guiyi said in a strange manner;
"Let's go, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you;" Zhuang Feng said helplessly;
"Wait for the rain to stop, such a heavy rain, and walking again? I don't have that hobby;" Tang Guiyi looked at the torrential rain and said a little weakly;
"I can't cover the rain here, I'm soaking wet anyway, let's go;" Zhuang Feng looked at the rainstorm, and had a desire to drench again;
"That winter, you spent it here?" Tang Guiyi opened the topic and asked there;
"Yes;" Zhuang Feng looked at the collapsed grass shed, and looked a little melancholy that the past was unbearable;
"That broken shed can keep out the rain, right, can it block the wind?" Tang Guiyi imagined Zhuang Feng, who was seriously injured and hiding in this broken grass shed;
"We grew up here, and the people in the village know each other, so they can barely live in it;" Zhuang Feng said earnestly with that;
"Without a door, how can you block the wind?" Tang Guiyi didn't fully believe Zhuang Feng's words;
Yes, Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi grew up in this mountain; I also believe that Zhuang Feng said that the village watched Zhuang Feng come back alone, as long as Zhuang Feng said that he needed help, with that local friendship or the simplicity of the villagers in the mountains, it would indeed help;
"Don't you remember? There used to be a plum forest here, and this grass shed was originally lived by Lao Li's family to watch the orchard, and at that time we still came to steal plums to eat every year;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi, remembering the interesting stories of his childhood, very clearly;
"I remember, I just can't recognize it;" Tang Guiyi followed Zhuang Feng's words, and also remembered those memories of his childhood, but in the fire ten years ago, many things have changed, and he can't remember it clearly for a while;
"I also got a wheelchair, and I sat on it every day, pushing everyone to bask in the sun in this dam;" Zhuang Feng said as if immersed in memory;
"Wheelchair?" Tang Guiyi asked;
"The injury is too serious to stand up, so I got a wheelchair;" Zhuang Feng replied to Tang Guiyi's words, but saw Tang Guiyi and there looking like he was about to cry, and then said: "It's not as serious as you think, I can walk back by myself, and I can also stand and walk, but it's too cold in winter, the injury is aggravated, and there is no way to stand for a long time, so I got a wheelchair to play;"
Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng quietly, burning a cigarette there, and unconsciously there were tears;
Zhuang Feng's injury was so serious that he couldn't stand and walk, which made Tang Guiyi uncomfortable enough; plus it was winter, Zhuang Feng had such a serious injury, and he didn't even have a person around him to take care of, and he was completely dependent on his own life, thinking of these really made Tang Guiyi's heart panic;
"How do you solve the problem of eating?" Tang Guiyi said with a little choked up;
"Sometimes the villagers will think of me and bring me some cooked food, and when they don't think about it, they will be hungry; they are really hungry and panicked, you know that there are radishes planted on the sand by the river, and when they are hungry, they will pluck two of them, wash them in the river, and chew them raw; don't you say, you haven't eaten the radishes grown in this village for many years, it is really sweet, much better than the ones sold outside;"
Since they are brothers, there are some things that don't need to be hidden, Zhuang Feng said to himself, quite a bit of aftertaste;
Originally, Tang Guiyi knew that this shed was a shed for the people in the village to watch the orchard, and in Tang Guiyi's memory, it was still barely able to live in it, but he thought that this was no place to cook, and Zhuang Feng was still so seriously injured, how did he live, so he asked about this food;
I once thought that Zhuang Feng actually survived like this, don't look at Zhuang Feng and said quite calmly, but Tang Guiyi can imagine that kind of scene;
In winter, most of the time in the rainy weather, Zhuang Feng was seriously injured, and it was difficult to even stand and walk, and when he was hungry, he dragged the seriously injured body and walked the muddy and slippery mountain path, how difficult it was to walk to the river;
I don't know how many times Zhuang Feng had to fall on the mountain path that didn't look long, and how painful it was to be so badly injured that I could walk to the river, and then I could only pull the radish and chew it raw to satisfy my hunger;
Thinking about it, Tang Guiyi couldn't help crying anymore, rushing into the rainstorm is a wild roar, and a chaotic fist venting in the rainstorm;
Looking at Tang Guiyi's somewhat crazy venting the pain in his heart, Zhuang Feng was still so calm, because Zhuang Feng survived that winter alone, no matter how painful he was at that time, he even thought of suicide, but after all, he survived, and he didn't go crazy with the pain there like Tang Guiyi;
It was easy to wait for Tang Guiyi to calm down a little, and Zhuang Feng said to him: "Kung Fu is good;"
"Smoke;" Tang Guiyi didn't pay attention to Zhuang Feng's cool breeze, and said with a rush there;
"The radish is really good, better than the outside, but the medical conditions in the town are much worse;" Zhuang Feng gave Tang Guiyi a cigarette and continued to talk somewhere;
It's not that Zhuang Feng has such pain when he looks at Tang Guiyi and listens to his own affairs, where else to continue to add pain to Tang Guiyi; it's just that Zhuang Feng really can't find anyone to talk to in the past ten years, Zhuang Feng is also a human being, and he also needs to talk to him;
Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng's words, looked at Zhuang Feng with a cigarette, and motioned for Zhuang Feng to continue;
"There was the sun that day, I was basking in the wheelchair, I knew that I was having fun, the wheelchair was not controlled, then, I rolled down from the fort, and a sharp stone was inserted into my stomach, and the pain was unbearable, and I couldn't scream," Zhuang Feng said there;
Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng's words and did not make a sound, but the expression on his face was obviously extremely painful;
"Fortunately, the sister-in-law of the Liu family remembered me that day and asked the boy to bring me lunch, so I found someone to help, but the children in the mountains really haven't seen each other, and it's such a bad thing, so scared that I almost cried somewhere;" Zhuang Feng seemed to be immersed in his memory, and said with some aftertaste;
A person who was already seriously injured rolled down the fort and fell into the pile of rubble, his calf was pierced by a sharp stone, and the blood did not stop, and there was no one around.
Tang Guiyi had never experienced such a thing, but he could imagine what kind of pain Zhuang Feng was at that time;
"Are you crying?" Tang Guiyi asked with a crying voice;
"No, it's not that I'm strong, it's just that it's too painful for me to make a sound, and then it's numb and unconscious;" Zhuang Feng responded to Tang Guiyi, who was listening to the story;
"If Sister-in-law Liu hadn't thought of you that day, you would have died;" Tang Guiyi still had some crying words;
"If you don't say that you have a big life, right?" Zhuang Feng responded, and then continued: " They sent me to the health center in the town, you, I don't know where the rookie eggs came from, I didn't even have an anesthesia, I just took a pair of pliers and clamped the brocade flower, dipped it in some disinfectant and it directly into the wound;
"Dollmouth, you're really moldy;" Tang Guiyi is like a person who knows how to listen to stories, and he is very serious about finding the opportunity to talk, but the crying voice makes him, the audience, seem a little into the play;
"Yes, that's really called the house leak happened to be rainy, and the boat was late and hit the head by the waves; obviously the men couldn't stand up, or the medicine they bought in Jiangzhou when they came back, and they had to give themselves a needle and water, and they were injured again, so they really wanted to die;" Zhuang Feng also seemed to have great anger at the situation, and said hatefully there;
After speaking, Zhuang Feng smoked the cigarette in his hand fiercely, and then said: "Especially the money has been spent, and it is expensive to go to the health center in the town, if it weren't for the help of the people in the village, there would not even be any money for medicine, and people would not be able to get out;"
"Don't cry, although it's an injury on injury, a good life is also coming, in response to the old saying No, don't come to Jitai, the people in the village helped to make up for the medical expenses, but there was no money to stay in the hospital for observation, which carried me back again, and Sister-in-law Liu also asked me to go to live with her, but you know that Sister-in-law Liu's new widow, I am not very convenient for a big man;" Zhuang Feng said, thought about it and looked at Tang Guiyi's somewhat puzzled appearance, and continued:
"Oh, you don't know about this, just that year, when planting seedlings, Liu's husband suddenly became ill, he couldn't even get out of bed, and he was found to be terminally ill when he got to the hospital, and you also knew that there was a terminal illness in this village, so there was not much money to treat, but he just prescribed some medicine, and then carried it back again without telling Liu's husband;" Zhuang Feng said, stopped and lit a cigarette, and continued:
"I didn't know that I didn't hide it, Sister-in-law Liu's husband knew about his illness, and when Sister-in-law Liu was outside ordering grain, he climbed out alone, and then, on that cliff over there, where did he fall down and die;" Zhuang Feng said, and pointed to the very high cliff in the distance;
"People, at that time, we still went to participate in Sister-in-law Liu's marriage, and we still made trouble with the groom, so if you don't say it, there will be no more;" Zhuang Feng said with some emotion;
"Life;" Tang Guiyi couldn't help but sigh when he heard Zhuang Feng's sigh, and then continued: "But I admire Sister-in-law Liu's husband very much, knowing that he has a terminal illness, and he also knows the economic situation of the family, rather than dragging it out like that, it is better to die to get relief;
"It doesn't hurt for us to gossip, looking at the people on the side who have nothing to do with it; Sister-in-law Liu's husband is relieved, the pain of his parents' loss of their son, the pain of Sister-in-law Liu's husband, and the fact that Sister-in-law Liu's kid is so young that he doesn't have an old man, and the whole family is collapsed, but he is fine, and the living people are in much pain; yes, he has a terminal illness, but isn't he not dead yet? His death made his family uncomfortable; but I also agree with what you said, and I also admire Sister-in-law Liu's husband for being a man; Zhuang Feng followed Tang Guiyi's words and said there;
"Is it because of this that you kid, plus you are already a wasted person, and you don't want to involve others, so you don't go to live with Sister-in-law Liu?" Tang Guiyi thought about something and told it there;
"No, our world is like what the village people used to say to their children, this compound and them are two worlds;" Zhuang Feng said calmly;
Tang Guiyi knew that it was still in their teenage years, and the children in the village who were the same age as Zhuang Feng always liked to run into the Zhuang compound, and then they would be educated by the parents of those children, saying that the Zhuang family compound was different from them, they were not people of the same world, and they warned their children not to run into the Zhuang family's compound, and at worst, they beat and scolded the children, and did not let their children play with Zhuang Feng and them;
At that time, Tang Guiyi and Zhuang Feng didn't quite understand why the people in the village had such thoughts, and as they grew older, Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi also understood a lot;
"You're still like that, you always think about things from someone else's point of view;" Tang Guiyi knew that what Zhuang Feng said was true, if Zhuang Feng really lived in Sister-in-law Liu's house, it would definitely not be as simple as the rumors of a bachelor and a widowed mother and son, it would kill people;
"Sister-in-law Liu is really good, after my leg was injured, she asked their kid to bring me food every day, and I don't have to chew that river radish anymore;" Zhuang Feng responded to Tang Guiyi's words;
"Didn't you say that the river radish was delicious to chew raw?" Tang Guiyi choked there;
Perhaps it was Zhuang Feng who turned the story elsewhere, so that Tang Guiyi cleaned up his thoughts for a while, and relatively calmed down a little;
"The delicacies of the mountains and seas are chewed every day, and they will be greasy, and the radish in the river will have diarrhea if they chew too much, it will be sour, yes, it is too unpleasant;" Zhuang Feng said as if he remembered what made him miserable, and there was some hatred there;
"Hehe;" Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng's hateful appearance, and couldn't help but laugh there;
In the past, Zhuang Feng was like this, and he would always show resentment like a child who didn't grow up for some small things that made him unhappy, some cute, some blessed;
"Xiaomao, have you drunk the urine of the laughing monk? Try to eat half a winter's river radish in the big winter, it is so cold that it will make you unforgettable for a lifetime;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi's familiar smile and said with a choked voice again;
"I think it's still Sister-in-law Liu's cooked rice that is more delicious;" Tang Guiyi looked serious and affirmative there;
"Then he also said that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was made by him, and it was indeed comfortable;" Zhuang Feng and there had a long aftertaste;
"Blessing, I haven't eaten the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner made by Sister-in-law Liu;" Tang Guiyi said there, with a somewhat envious look;
"I am a blessed person by nature, but I left when it warmed up in the spring, and I never ate the food cooked by Sister-in-law Liu, and I don't know if Sister-in-law Liu is married, and if she marries again, she won't be able to eat;" Zhuang Feng said with some nostalgia;
"I hope fate won't play tricks on Sister-in-law Liu anymore;" Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng's somewhat nostalgic appearance, and said with some emotion there;
"Heaven has long been blind, but I still hope that fate will turn around;" Zhuang Feng said with Tang Guiyi's words;
