Life is more than just living

Chapter 117 The Price of Recklessness

When the memory gate opened, Lin Zhiyuan discovered that he had interacted with Chen Xu many times before. What left a deep impression was the time when Chen Xu suddenly disappeared. At that time, Chen Xu's grandmother found Lin Pei's house and said that Chen Xu had stolen her money, hoping that Lin Pei would let Chen Xu hand over the money. Lin Pei tried his best to defend Chen Xu, saying that Chen Xu would not do that kind of thing, and he could not talk nonsense without evidence, as it would have a bad influence on the children. Grandma Chen insisted that Chen Xu must have taken the money, otherwise she would not have hidden it and not gone home. Lin Pei felt that Grandma Chen had wronged Chen Xu and that Chen Xu had been wronged so he hid, so he sent Lin Zhiyuan to find Chen Xu while he waited at home, fearing that Chen Xu could not find him. Zhang Yong, who happened to be playing with Lin Zhiyuan, said that he and Chen Xu's family were neighbors, knew Chen Xu, and could help find him together.

Lin Zhiyuan and Zhang Yong searched together from day to night, searching all the streets and alleys of the county. The two people suspected that such a beautiful little girl had been kidnapped, so they hurried to the police station to report the crime. However, the police on duty said that the case could not be filed if the missing person had been missing for less than 48 hours. The two men were looking for him everywhere on motorcycles, and later heard that they had gone outside the city. In the middle of the night, the two of them even ran to a nearby mountain to shout. They didn't have high hopes at first, but they didn't expect to find Chen Xu there. There were many graves buried on that mountain. Lin Zhiyuan was surprised at that time. How could a teenage girl come here? Maybe the ignorant are fearless. Maybe children don’t know that they are afraid of death and ghosts! This was Lin Zhiyuan's thought at the time.

After finding Chen Xu that time, although Lin Zhiyuan complained in his heart, he couldn't say anything because he wasn't familiar with him. On the contrary, Zhang Yong was very angry and scolded Chen Xu: "Are you stupid? Are you afraid of being caught by ghosts when you come here?" Unexpectedly, Chen Xu said stubbornly: "No one is afraid of ghosts! I would rather see ghosts than I don't want to see anyone anymore." Zhang Yongyang choked and said after a while: "Don't tell me whether this place is haunted or not. You, a little girl, came here and ran into gangsters. What should you do?" Chen Xu retorted: "I have already You met a gangster, aren't you?" Zhang Yong raised his hand to hit Chen Xu, but Lin Zhiyuan stopped him, "It's almost midnight, go back quickly. My mother is still at home waiting for news! My phone is out of battery."

Zhang Yong rode his motorcycle back with Chen Xu and Lin Zhiyuan. When they were almost home, the motorcycle ran out of gas, so the three of them had to push it. Zhang Yong asked: "What happened?" Chen Xu cried and said: "Wang Yu wanted to bully me while grandma was not at home. I tried my best to resist, yelled loudly, and even scratched his face. He was so angry that he kicked me He stabbed me several times, and my legs still hurt. Later, he secretly took my grandma's money, and I found out. I asked him to put it back, but he told me not to mind my own business. I wanted to get the money back. , he pushed me down. When my grandma came back, he told her that I had stolen the money, and I said that Wang Yu had taken it. But she and my aunt only believed it, and they only searched my body and forced me to I handed over the money. I couldn't find it, so my grandma and my aunt beat me together. Grandma said she was going to the police station to report me, and my aunt said she was going to school to publicize that I was a thief, so that I couldn't hold my head high in front of my teachers and classmates. I No! I've never stolen anything."

Zhang Yong didn't seem to care whether Chen Xu stole anything. Instead, he stared at Chen Xu and asked, "Wang Yu, that bastard, did he bully you?" Chen Xu nodded, "He wanted to bully me, but I resisted with all my strength, and he didn't Succeeded." Zhang Yong scolded: "This damn thing, I think he is tired of living." Lin Zhiyuan asked from the side: "Who is Wang Yu?" Zhang Yong said: "He is the son of Chen Xu's aunt. This The boy looked quite benevolent when he was young, but he didn't expect to be such a bastard now. I'll kill him." Lin Zhiyuan said with a sense of justice in an instant: "Let's go, I will teach him a lesson with you." Zhang Yong said: "There's no point in killing a chicken with a butcher's knife. He's just a high school student. I can tidy him up all by myself. You go home first, so that Teacher Lin won't be anxious. You go quickly!" Lin Zhiyuan ran home. Tell her mother that Chen Xu has been found and reassure her.

What impressed Lin Zhiyuan more deeply was when his mother was buried. Lin Zhiyuan just cried silently, while Chen Xu cried loudly beside him, crying so heartbreakingly that everyone who heard it was moved. After the burial, everyone left. Only Lin Zhiyuan and Chen Xu were left. Lin Zhiyuan faced Chen Xu and stepped forward to say a few words to her, but he didn't know what to say. Chen Xu raised his head, wiped away his tears and stared at Lin Zhiyuan with red eyes, as if he hated him, as if he wanted to bite him to satisfy his hatred.

Chen Xu got on the bus from Beicheng to Longcheng. Seeing Lin Zhiyuan today made her very excited, but she held it back and did not have an attack. It was this Lin Zhiyuan who caused trouble recklessly. Not only did he lose his job, he was also arrested and sent to a detention center to face trial and sentencing. At that time, Lin Zhiyuan was about to get married, and his fiancée Li Na was already pregnant. Li Na's mother gave an ultimatum. If Lin Zhiyuan was sentenced and lost his job, Li Na would abort the child and terminate his engagement. Although Teacher Lin was not very optimistic about Li Na, he still felt unbearable when thinking about the child in her belly. So Teacher Lin ran around, and later the trustee talked to the person who was beaten and begged for mercy. The person wanted 1 yuan in compensation before they would withdraw the lawsuit. Teacher Lin's life savings were used to prepare a wedding room and wedding supplies for Lin Zhiyuan, and he had little left, so he had to borrow money from everywhere. Zhang Yong and Lin Zhiyuan were classmates when they were in elementary school, and they were both students in Teacher Lin's class. Zhang Yong usually respects Teacher Lin very much and is friends with Lin Zhiyuan. He spent all his money to help Lin Zhiyuan tide over the difficulties, but it was still not enough. He had no choice but to ask for the money owed to him by others. Unexpectedly, the person used the stolen cables to pay off the debt. Zhang Yong knew that stealing cables and selling stolen goods were illegal, but he still took the cables away because he was in urgent need of money. When Zhang Yong went to the scrap collection station to sell cables, he was seen by Chen Xu's grandmother. In order to vent her anger on Wang Yu, she reported Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong was arrested and all the money was confiscated, and he faced a heavy sentence. For some reason, Zhang Yong never revealed the person who gave him the cable. When Teacher Lin heard that Zhang Yong was arrested for stealing cables while raising money for her, she was so furious that she fainted. Chen Xu sent Teacher Lin to the hospital, but because he had no money to pay, the best opportunity for rescue was delayed.

Chen Xu witnessed Teacher Lin's death. She blamed Lin Zhiyuan for Teacher Lin's death, thinking that he was the culprit who killed Teacher Lin. When he saw Lin Zhiyuan again today, Chen Xu wanted to scold him and hit him, but in the end he held back. After all, this was Teacher Lin's only son. So even though she knew that Lin Zhiyuan's car was following her, she didn't even want to say anything to him, let alone give him a look.
