Chapter 167: One in Ten Thousand Regrets (3)
Chu Qinghao listened to the noisy sounds around him, looked at his parents who trusted him completely and closed his eyes, looked at the eldest sister's panicked and helpless sad appearance, and thought of his nephew who had just turned twenty and became crippled since then, and the mess outside, he felt that the world was suddenly no longer what he thought it was.
If it happened two years ago, Chu Qinghao would only feel sad for the death of his parents, and the rest would be easy for him, his nephew was lame and he would raise him, the parents of the person who was hit were also raised by him, and he would pay for the damaged car, as long as the problems that could be solved with money were trivial in his opinion. But now, precisely because he has no money, these things have become big things.
In the end, the matter was settled, but everyone became unfortunate. The man who was hit has passed the dangerous period, but it is likely that he will spend it in bed for the rest of the day, unless a miracle happens. Chu Qinghao sold the 200-square-meter house in the city center as compensation for their family, hoping that they would not sue Zhang Changrong, after all, he was suspected of causing a traffic accident. And Zhang Changrong's treatment expenses, his parents' hospitalization fees and funeral expenses, and the compensation for Zhang Changrong's friend's vehicle, or Li Juanping's mother sold the three-bedroom house to solve the problem, but unfortunately Zhang Changrong's leg cannot get the best treatment, and now Chu Qinghao is back to the time when he has nothing.
After Li Juanping's father died of stomach cancer a few years ago, Li's mother moved in with them, and the houses on both sides were sold, and the family of four could only rent a house of more than 40 square meters, which was not as big as the original living room. Li Juanping has been concentrating on being a full-time wife at home since she gave birth, and she has to go out to find a job at this time, but it is easy to find a suitable one. In order to save money, Li's mother can only go to the vegetable market far away to pick up food, which is both nutritious and cost-effective, and she worries every day.
After Chu Qinghao came back from his hometown, he always recalled the chaotic scenes in the hospital in his mind, as well as the disappointed and hateful expression of his nephew looking at him, and the most important thing was that Li Juanping rarely talked to him now. Chu Qinghao knew that all this was his own fault, and he wanted to change it, but he didn't know what to do for a while, his mind was in a mess, and there was no moment of purity, so he could only keep drinking to numb himself, at least he didn't have to think about anything after he fell asleep.
Looking at Chu Qinghao, who drunk himself every day, Li's mother was angry, and felt sorry for her daughter, and couldn't help but regret the original decision with her wife, just looking at her well-behaved and lovely granddaughter, what could she do?
Looking at her emaciated and tired daughter and her sensible and quiet little granddaughter, Mother Li finally sighed and turned to Chu Qinghao, who was snorting from alcohol in front of the hospital bed, "Remember what you said when you first found our house, her father and I believed in you at that time, and you didn't disappoint us." It's normal for people to make mistakes, I just hope that you will live well in the future, it is better to live down-to-earth than anything else, take care of your wife and daughter, and don't let the two of us lie on the ground and regret our original choice. ”
Looking at Mother Li, who couldn't feel at ease until she died, Chu Qinghao knelt in front of her with self-reproach. It shouldn't be like this, obviously his life is not like this, but his mother-in-law's disappointed expression towards him, her helpless expression when she was dying, and his wife and daughter who are getting farther and farther away from him, all remind him that this is the reality, it was he who personally ruined his original promise, and failed the expectations of his parents and sister's family, how can he continue to be depressed? Since he was able to fight a piece of the world with his bare hands, he will definitely be able to do it now.
After finishing Li's mother's funeral, Chu Qinghao regained his strength and regained his passion for the future. It's a pity that the times are changing too fast, and it is the people's hearts that are becoming faster. Although those friends who used to avoid him are like snakes and scorpions now, they can be encountered everywhere in perfunctory prevarication, and after a period of time, they have gained nothing, but have taken a lot of fare and food expenses. Originally, Li's mother's hospitalization and funeral used up all their remaining savings, and now the whole family is estimated to not even have 200 yuan, and there is still half a month before Li Juanping's salary, how should they live?
Chu Qinghao was angry and powerless at the same time, how could he think that work was the easiest thing before?
Unconsciously, Chu Qinghao stood in front of the G&M bar again, pinching the only fifty-four yuan left in his wallet, maybe he could make Boss Gao look accommodating in his usual situation, and let him play the next game, maybe he would turn the tables, anyway, the worst thing is to lose these dozens of yuan, which has little impact, but if they win, their family will no longer have to worry about living expenses in a short time.
It's a pity that Chu Qinghao thought too simply, if he was still the original Chu president, even if he let him play a few games for free, but now, he was just humiliating himself. And what made him even more angry was that all this was a game set up by Zhang Xing, a game specifically aimed at him.
After Zhang Xing sold the factory, he wanted to follow his brothers to the south, but he was deceived and lost all his money, and spent a few years in embarrassment outside, and he traveled to many places but never succeeded. I happened to learn that the college student who bought his factory is now relying on the marble factory to make a fortune, fame, career, family, there is nothing that is not envied and praised, and all this should have belonged to him.
I secretly observed for a long time, but unfortunately Chu Qinghao was not greedy for sex, money, or fame, so Zhang Xing had nowhere to start. Fortunately, God helped, and by mistake, he found the place of attack. Zhang Xing reached an agreement with Boss Gao to lead Chu Qinghao into the game, and the gambling money was divided into fifty and fifty. Chu Qinghao, as a self-made model, has the wealth in his hands that many people are jealous and covetous, and Boss Gao will naturally not refuse this kind of unprofitable thing.
After learning the truth, Chu Qinghao used the only remaining fifty-four yuan to take a taxi to Zhang Xing's residence, he had to ask in person, but when he arrived, the residence had already changed.
"It was left by the previous tenant and said he would give it to him if anyone came looking for him. For the sake of the large amount of storage fees, the young couple who had just rented a house took out a letter.
After reading the contents of the letter, Chu Qinghao pushed away the two people in front of him and ran around the house to look for it, he didn't believe it was true, he didn't want to believe it, and he didn't dare to believe it, how could he be so kind to himself? How could he run away to a foreign country after ruining his life? Chu Qinghao thought back to what had happened in the past few years, and he only felt that someone in his mind was beating him with a hammer, and the fire in his heart seemed to burn him, these were all illusions, and they were all lying to him!
"Brother Chu, don't blame my brother for being ruthless, I haven't forced you from beginning to end, it's because your own will is not firm, and you can't complain about me if you find someone to judge me. Besides, that's my factory, it's the location I chose, and I started it, and you're just picking up my results. ”
"You don't have to feel unwilling, thanks to your brother's factory, you can enjoy the taste of glory and wealth over the years, otherwise a poor and white young man in the countryside will be out of reach of these riches even if he struggles all his life. ”
"Everything you have enjoyed in the past ten years is only your salary for taking care of the factory for your brother, and I don't care much about you. Anyway, I don't plan to go back after I go abroad, for the sake of the fact that you have earned a lot of money for me, and finally my brother will give you another piece of advice: stay away from gambling, Brother Chu!"
The contents of the letter kept flashing in his mind, and Chu Qinghao shouted frantically, pushing everything he could see in front of him to smash it, and venting fiercely.
Li Juanping hurried over after receiving a call from the police station, and saw her husband looking blank and muttering something, while a young couple looked at him with angry faces. After learning that Chu Qinghao had smashed the other party's home, Li Juanping couldn't help but sit down on the chair.
When the two got married, it was the time when they were in high spirits, in order to let Li Juanping have a wedding that everyone envied and longed for, Chu Qinghao only left the necessary funds, and invested all the money in his hand into a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, and the diamond ring was also the largest that could be bought under the conditions at that time, even if those jewelry were expensive in the future, in Li Juanping's opinion, they were not as valuable as the diamond ring in his hand.
No matter how big the difficulties were encountered before, even if she sold all the valuable things in it, Li Juanping left this diamond ring, because it carried too many good memories and memories, and also pinned her hopes for the future, but now she can't keep it, maybe she shouldn't keep it for a long time.
Paying the money from the sale of the diamond ring to the other party, Chu Qinghao's private invasion of private houses and smashing and destroying other people's property were resolved according to a private agreement.
Chu Qinghao was immersed in Zhang Xingzhi's smug show-off, high-minded sarcasm, and the ideological whirlpool of his own unclear understanding of others, harming himself and others, and did not realize the difference between his wife. When he came back to his senses and realized that Li Juanping was completely desperate for him, he couldn't help sneering and holding the wine bottle and drinking it, not to mention her, he was also desperate for himself, what else could a person like him who was incompetent and lacked self-control do in addition to being treated as a joke?
