Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 95

At noon on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cao Fangping also came to the door, holding her daughter with her left hand and her son with her right hand.

The guards still refused to let them in, so Cao Fangping walked to the middle of the road, fell to her knees with a "plop", and faced the biting cold wind, weeping. After a while, a large group of people gathered to watch.

"God, my life is bitter, worse than Coptis chinensis! My mother died at the age of three, and a child without a mother is like a grass; my father died at the age of ten, and a child without a father is not as good as a dog; I was married at the age of 20, and married into a den of animals. , the husband is white-eyed wolf, father-in-law weasel, mother-in-law and female tiger, each one is harder to serve than the other; a 25-year-old man changes his mind, divorces and returns to his natal family, and works as a long-term job for his brother-in-law. Forced to remarry, married into a poor den, her husband suffered from epilepsy, several times a year, her father-in-law broke a leg, her mother-in-law was blind in one eye, a couple of old people were bedridden all year round, and the family was so poor that they couldn't help it; Suicide failed many times, gave birth to two children, one was smarter than the other, but their fate was bad, they were reincarnated into my belly, other people’s children had big fish and meat every day, my child had soy sauce soup every day, and there was no new clothes for Chinese New Year If you are sick, you don’t have money to see a doctor, what a pain..."

After 15 minutes, the guard found Shao Han and reported to him that his biological mother was crying at the factory gate.Although he had prepared himself mentally long ago, thinking that he had seen it through and could be calm and composed, when Cao Fangping really came to his door, Shao Han still felt uncomfortable. His mood was extremely complicated, a little sour, a little painful, a little Aggrieved, a little irritable...

When he was a child, he couldn't eat enough, didn't wear warm clothes, and was abused by others every three days. Shao Han dreamed of his mother, but his mother hated him deeply. She wished she had never given birth to a son like him and didn't care about him at all. life and death.

When he grows up, he has no worries about food and clothing, is successful in his studies, and meets the person he loves the most in his life——Zhang Xiuqing. Shao Han dreams of living a peaceful, happy, and beautiful life, but his mother He popped up from time to time, asking for his forgiveness while asking for money.

May I ask which mother in the world would treat her son like this?If given a choice, Shao Han would rather be an orphan...

A gentle hand caressed his cheek gently, Shao Han raised his head and saw a pair of eyes full of care and comfort.

Outside the window, the cold wind was blowing, and the fallen leaves were flying, and inside the house was the fragrance of tea and warmth. The person I loved the most in my life stood in front of me, looked into his eyes, opened my sandalwood mouth lightly, and began to sing a cappella.

When the time is old and the hair is growing, Shao Han still remembers that year, that day, that moment, that person, that song: "... If I can give up the whole world, at least you are worth my cherishing, And you are here, it is a miracle of life. Maybe I can forget the whole world, but I don't want to lose your news, the mole on your palm, I always remember it there..."

And that oath: "Even if people in the whole world don't love you, I will still love you; even if people in the whole world leave you, I will still be by your side!"

The cold wind knocked on the window edge in bursts, making a whining sound.A drop of cold liquid fell to the ground, soundlessly and soundlessly.

Shao Han involuntarily held Zhang Xiuqing's other hand, put it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it lightly, from the fingertips to the pulp, from the palm to the back of the hand, from every inch of skin to every bone, treasured and cherished, loved and admired After... After a long time, he lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her palm.

Her palm was as cool as water, and his kiss was as hot as fire. When the water and fire were entwined, all the sorrow, pain, hesitation, anger, unwillingness...all went away from him.

Shao Han reached out to hold Zhang Xiuqing in his arms, and kisses rained down on her face and neck...

The knock on the door interrupted the warm world of the two of them. Zhang Xiuqing quickly got out of Shao Han's arms, patted her cheeks, and said, "Please come in!"

Li Hongmei walked in with Cao Fangping, mother and son, poured a cup of hot water for each of them, closed the door and walked out.

If Shao Dongcheng is implementing the strategy of robbers, then Cao Fangping is taking the path of suffering—the mother and son are disheveled, and they have not eaten for many days; their hair is messy, and they have not been washed for many days; their clothes are torn and torn , a patch on the left, and a patch on the right. People who don't know it will definitely think they are beggars.

Even if Zhang Xiuqing guessed with her knees, she could guess Cao Fangping's intentions. There were two things: one was to hope that after seeing her miserable situation, Shao Han would arouse a little bit of compassion and leak some scum from his fingers, It is enough for their family to eat and drink; the other is to hope that other people will have a heart to fight against injustice after seeing her miserable situation. , will definitely arouse public outrage, and then one person can drown him with a mouthful of saliva.

I have to say that Cao Fangping's strategy was very successful. She has attracted the attention of many people along the way. Many passionate people heard her story and shed tears of sympathy.Those who sympathized with her not only included passers-by who didn't know the truth, but also the old guard who was kicked down by Shao Dongcheng three days ago, and Li Hongmei who dared to risk everything to pursue love.

Before Cao Fangping could express her regret, "Dinglingling..." The off-duty bell rang, and the employees of the garment factory went to the cafeteria to have lunch.The window was half opened, and the smell of food wafted in, and the stomachs of the three mother and child all growled.

The faces of the little girl and the little boy who were originally reddened by the cold wind turned purple, and they quickly lowered their heads, one biting their lower lip tightly, tears falling down; the other tugged at Cao Fangping. He choked with sobs and said, "Mom, let's go back!"

Cao Fangping glanced at Shao Han secretly, and said in a voice that could be heard by everyone in the room: "Wait a while, let's go back after eating!"

The little girl lowered her head even lower, while the little boy clenched his fists and said something insincere: "Mom, I'm not hungry, let's go home and eat!"

Cao Fangping turned her gaze to Zhang Xiuqing: "But there is nothing to eat at home, your grandpa, grandma and dad are all starving!"

The little boy's face showed pain, and a pair of thin shoulders kept shaking, but he didn't want others to find that he was crying, so he covered his mouth desperately.

Who hasn't tasted what it's like to go hungry?You have grandparents, parents to take care of you, but what about me?No one cares when I'm hungry, no one asks when I'm cold, back then your good mother cared and sympathized with me a little bit, but now I won't be so heartless... Shao Leng's face was completely unmoved.

Zhang Xiuqing sighed. She could care whether Cao Fangping was hungry or not, but she couldn't be cruel to those two children.

The siblings don't look like acting. The little girl is about the same age as Zhang Xiuhong. She looks about fifteen or sixteen years old. A female worker in a silk reeling factory, and she has been working for a long time. It is very likely that she will become a female worker as soon as she graduates from elementary school.

The little boy was about the same age as Zhang Xiaofeng, about ten years old, his hands were covered with chilblains, and the backs of his hands were swollen like steamed buns.The ears are also covered with chilblains, the condition is worse than the hands, and they are about to rot...

Hearing Zhang Xiuqing's sigh, Shao Han looked at Cao Fangping and said reluctantly, "Let's go, follow me to the cafeteria for dinner!"

Anyone who is not blind can see the undisguised disgust on Shao Han's face, and Cao Fangping couldn't help crying.While crying, she told her tragic fate.From her cadenced cries, Zhang Xiuqing knew the life she had lived in these years: one word, bitter!Two words, very bitter!Three words, very bitter!
It's just that this bitter scene, in which the audience sheds tears and the listener is sad, is completely unplayable in front of Zhang Xiuqing and Shao Han.The former knew that Cao Fangping was definitely not an easy-going lamp. In his previous life, Shao Han had achieved great success, and this mother would do everything in her power to snatch her son's hard-earned foundation; while the latter had already been deeply hurt by Cao Fangping's selfishness. Willing to perform the drama of "mother kindness and son filial piety" in front of Zhang Xiuqing.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the dishes in the cafeteria are very rich, including chicken legs, scrambled eggs, spinach, and pork rib soup.Shao Han brought Cao Fangping, mother and son into the cafeteria, asked them to sit anywhere, and bought a meal for each of them.

Cao Fangping was probably starving. Ignoring the strange gazes of others, she picked up the chopsticks and started to eat voraciously.

The two brothers and sisters were not as thick-skinned as their mother. Although their stomachs were growling with hunger, they refused to eat the food that came with them.Cao Fangping was angry and annoyed, and cursed a few words in a low voice, because Zhang Xiuqing couldn't hear what she was cursing because they were far away, and saw the siblings lowered their heads, sobbing softly, wiping their tears with the back of their hands, crying well After a while, I picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Cao Fangping ate all the food and drank all the soup.The two children only ate spinach and pork rib soup, and the chicken legs and scrambled eggs remained untouched, all of which were held in empty bowls. It seemed that they wanted to take them home for their grandparents to eat.Sure enough, after discussing in low voices for a while, they walked up to the two of them hand in hand, first stammered thanks, and then humbly asked if they could take the leftovers home.

Zhang Xiuqing sighed again, good bamboo shoots came out of bad bamboos, and good bowls were cooked in broken cellars. Cao Fangping's character was not good, and the children she gave birth did not follow her.

Shao Han nodded, and the two children breathed a sigh of relief, thanking him again and again.Shao Han waved his hands impatiently, and the two children left with the bowls in their hands.

Cao Fangping returned to the office with the two of them. Without further ado, Shao Han took out a package prepared three days ago from the cabinet, which contained 100 yuan, a women's ski jacket and ten catties of multi-flavored melon seeds: " Take your things and go, don't come here again, and I won't see you again!"

Cao Fangping blushed, and began to cry again, tears pouring down her cheeks, she didn't know if it was because she was ashamed, or regretted that she had done too much back then, which made Shao Han cold.

Seeing her crying endlessly and Shao Han's face getting darker and darker, Zhang Xiuqing cleared her eyes and said, "Auntie, if you are not in a hurry to go back, let's talk!"

Cao Fangping really wanted to say to Zhang Xiuqing: "I am Shao Han's biological mother, how can you call me auntie?" Hate, but also to accompany the smiling face: "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"I want to ask you to find out something for me?"

"what's up?"

"Have you heard the story of the Pan family in Dongyutou?"

"Of course!"

"The matter I want you to inquire about is related to this family. About 18 years ago, that is, at the end of 200, Mr. Pan saw that the situation was not good, and knew that he was doomed. Before he was arrested, he hid a large amount of gold and silver treasures in the countryside. In the household of a household surnamed Zhang... It is said that this matter is kept very secret, only Heaven knows, Earth knows, Mr. Pan knows, and Mr. Zhang knows, but no one knows what's going on, and the news leaked. I want to know, how did the bad guys do it? Did you know? Was someone tipping off the news, or did Mr. Pan confess before he died?" Zhang Xiuqing knew that Cao Fangping was a person who didn't get up early, so she simply marked the price clearly: "After you find out clearly, tell me. If it is confirmed to be true, I will pay you You pay [-] yuan."

These days, 200 yuan can buy a lot of things. If you save some money, it can cover the expenses of their family of six for a year. Cao Fangping couldn't help being overjoyed: "I'll go back and ask my father-in-law right away, just wait for my good news! After finishing speaking, he immediately picked up his burden and left.

That night, Zhang Xiuqing suffered from insomnia.Shao Han came over in the middle of the night, hugged her shoulders and kept comforting her: "Don't worry, Chen Jiansheng was not the only one who participated in the turmoil back then. He couldn't find out where he was, and there were others. Let's inquire slowly, and we can always find out..."

Zhang Xiuqing couldn't help being moved, and buried her head in Shao Han's arms.

Shao Han gently pulled out the broken hair covering her cheeks, and pressed a kiss on her lips: "I love you!"

The next morning, the two were pasting seals in the factory, and Cao Fangping came to the door excitedly: "I have already found out what you asked me to inquire about. Fortunately, I am the one to inquire. If it is someone else, what will you do again?" You can’t find out even if you have a lot of money. Do you know who was the leader who ransacked the house back then? No one would believe it, but it was my father-in-law! Hey...he is a man of his age, and his memory is still so good, for so long What happened, I still remember it clearly..."

Long-winded talk a lot, but not to mention the point.

Zhang Xiuqing held back the anxiety in her heart, and took out 100 yuan, and then Cao Fangping began to say the main point: "I went back and asked my father-in-law, and he said that Mr. Pan originally planned to put his family's wealth in the home of a proud disciple, but his disciple Afraid of being implicated, he disagreed desperately. Mr. Pan was very anxious and disappointed. He secretly found several students and promised a lot of money, but still no one dared to take this hot potato. Later, a young man surnamed Zhang didn’t know Where did I hear this news? This idiot was greedy for money and found Mr. Pan secretly. After the two parties reached an agreement, they shipped the gold, silver and jewels to the countryside one night and buried them in his family's private field... After a while, Mr. Pan was arrested, and the bad guys ransacked the house, and found that except for the mahogany furniture and other large pieces of furniture, everything else was missing. That night, Mr. Pan and his wife were hanged and beaten to death, but they refused to do so. Where did the confessions go? About half a month later, someone suggested arresting all his students and extorting confessions by torture. Sure enough, these people couldn't stand the beatings, confessed indiscriminately, and bit a lot of people out, and the young man surnamed Zhang was also there Among them, my father-in-law and the others rushed to the countryside with the mentality that they would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go. Unexpectedly, they were found by them, but they only found part of the treasure. It is said that Mr. Pan's eldest son found something bad. He was the first to get there and transported away all the treasures, but the bad guys didn’t believe it, and then, the family named Zhang suffered a great misfortune, and several people died..."

In the year when the incident happened, Zhang Xiuqing's grandfather was almost 50 years old, and he was definitely not compatible with young people. Therefore, the person who secretly conspired with Mr. Pan was definitely not him, and her father just turned 22 years old, could it be... Zhang Xiuqing's heart was beating wildly, her hands were filled with sweat, and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "Does your father-in-law know the name of that young man surnamed Zhang?"

Cao Fangping put her hand to her mouth and let out a sigh of relief, and said something wrong: "It's so cold this year!"

Eager to know the answer, Zhang Xiuqing immediately took out 100 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Cao Fangping.

If you don't sit on the ground and raise the price at this time, when will you wait?Cao Fangping took the money and frowned in thought: "My father-in-law told me his name, what is his name Zhang, let me think about it..."

Knowing his mother's temperament, Shao Han took out a wallet from his pocket expressionlessly, and handed a wad of money to Cao Fangping.

A smile appeared on Cao Fangping's face, and she stuffed the money into her pocket contentedly. Under Zhang Xiuqing's expectant eyes, she finally said the name: "His name is Zhang Linsheng, and he is your uncle!" After speaking, he added: "I guess You already guessed it, right?"

Zhang Xiuqing clenched her fist tightly, her nails sank deep into her flesh, she didn't even know it was bleeding: "Is what you said true?"

Cao Fangping immediately raised her hand and swore: "What I said is absolutely true, if there is a lie, my whole family will die!"

Zhang Xiuqing bit her lower lip, and after a long time, she asked, "Do you have evidence?"

Cao Fangping nodded triumphantly, and raised a finger: "1000 yuan!"

Zhang Xiuqing didn't have the heart to bargain, and agreed immediately: "Deal!"

Soon the Spring Festival will come, and every household in Xindong Village is very busy entertaining guests, visiting relatives and friends, and all the children are wearing new clothes to celebrate the New Year.Only Zhang Xiuqing's brother-in-law's house didn't have any New Year atmosphere. Zhang Xiuqing's grandmother threw everything that could be thrown, and smashed everything that could be smashed. The family was in a mess, with little place to stand.

Zhang Linsheng was scolded so badly by her, and even her favorite granddaughter, Zhang Xiuzhen, was so scolded by the old lady that she couldn't hold her head up.

The spectators had three floors inside and three floors outside, and surrounded the small courtyard of Zhang Linsheng's house.

The old lady was dressed in white linen and sat on the cold ground, crying, cursing, praying, beating, and slapping herself constantly.After listening for a while, everyone finally understood that the real culprit who killed their biological father and elder brother was Zhang Linsheng, not Zhang Lingen!
