Life is more than just living

Lin Zhiyuan was sitting in the car smoking a cigarette, and suddenly remembered the phone call between Chen Xu and the others. No, that's not what they were hiding from themselves. If this is the case, it shouldn't be the reason for helping, then what is it? Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to that trash anymore.

Lin Zhiyuan threw away the cigarette butt and drove to the company.

A few days later, Chen Xu called Zhang Yong to ask about the progress of the case. Zhang Yong said categorically: "I have found a job now. I don't have time to do anything else. I don't want to do that anymore. I have already come out anyway. Let's talk about that." It makes no sense anymore." Chen Xu was stunned, and Zhang Yong hung up the phone. Chen Xu felt that something was fishy. This matter would not involve too much energy from Zhang Yong. With Lin Zhiyuan's help, these were not problems. What happened? She remembered that during the Chinese New Year, the policeman came to look for Zhang Yong. Was he threatened? The next time Chen Xu went home, he wanted to find Zhang Yong to find out what happened. Before seeing Zhang Yong, Grandma Liu quickly reported: "Zhang Yong was beaten by someone a few days ago, and he was beaten very hard." , covered with injuries, he is recuperating at home these days. If you ask him what's going on, you won't tell him. Go and ask him what's going on!" Chen Xu quickly ran over and knocked on Zhang Yong's door, and Zhang Yong limped out. Opening the door, he was about to close the door when he saw Chen Xu. Chen Xu pushed it open and asked, "What happened? Tell me, and we will think of a solution together. Don't be afraid if you have big brother to help!" Zhang Yong shook his head. "Xiao Xu, just live your life! Don't worry about me, I'm not worth your trouble." No matter what Chen Xu said, Zhang Yong remained silent.

Chen Xu was very angry. When I was having dinner, I complained to Lin Zhiyuan, but Lin Zhiyuan didn't answer and just ate in silence.

Seeing that Lin Zhiyuan didn't care, Chen Xu was a little dissatisfied, "Brother, did you hear what I said? Now Zhang Yong is in trouble again, can you help him again?" Lin Zhiyuan finished the meal without saying a word. He silently put down the dishes and left. Chen Xu quickly washed the dishes and ran over and knocked on Lin Zhiyuan's door. After knocking for a long time, Lin Zhiyuan opened it and asked unhappily: "What are you doing? Is something wrong?" Chen Xu squeezed in and said, " Brother, I will talk to you about that while eating, can you..." "No!" Lin Zhiyuan interrupted him decisively.

Chen Xu felt a little baffled. A few days ago, his elder brother was eager to help Zhang Yong. What happened? He asked tentatively: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Does it make you feel embarrassed to help Zhang Yong? If it's really difficult, forget it. I just feel sorry for him and want to help him." Lin Zhiyuan glared at Chen Xu angrily, " Are you stupid? He has already done that to you, why do you still want to help him? "

Chen Xu froze on the spot, feeling ashamed. After a while, he said: "How did you know?" Lin Zhiyuan was very angry and said indiscriminately: "How do I know? Is it important? What is important is why are you such a virgin? Why? If you help anyone, who is that person? The person who bullied you! It doesn’t matter if you don’t kill him, why are you pretending that nothing is wrong and helping him? Is your scar healed and you forget about the pain, or is your brain sick? You yourself Even if you are stupid, you still want to drag me down! What are you thinking? What is going on in your head?"

Chen Xu was a little ashamed. She was silent for a long time, then she looked up at Lin Zhiyuan seriously and said, "Brother, please! I beg you, can you help Zhang Yong finish this matter from beginning to end?" Lin Zhiyuan gasped. He said harshly: "No!"

Chen Xu's face turned red. She held back her tears and looked at Lin Zhiyuan and said, "Brother, I beg you just this once! From now on, I don't care whether Zhang Yong is dead or alive. Just this time, you must help! Some Cause and effect need to be resolved, please help him this time, please."

Lin Zhiyuan stared at Chen Xu with some disappointment, "Are you sure you want me to do this?" Chen Xu nodded. Lin Zhiyuan breathed heavily for a long time before reluctantly saying: "Okay, just this time. But the premise is that you give me a reason. If the reason is sufficient, I will agree."

Chen Xu stood opposite Lin Zhiyuan and was silent for a long time. Of course she couldn't tell Lin Zhiyuan that Zhang Yong went in to raise money to redeem him, nor could she say that Zhang Yong's imprisonment led to the death of Teacher Lin. She thought carefully before speaking: "Brother, Zhang Yong has helped me a lot since I was a child: I was thrown away by my grandmother when I was a child, and it was Zhang Yong who brought me back; it was Zhang Yong who rescued me from the bad boys who bullied me; It was Zhang Yong who stepped forward to save me when the gangster teased me; Zhang Yong took it out on me because Wang Yu wanted to do something wrong to me; I was so embarrassed at home that I ran to the mountains to hide alone, and it was he who went to find me with you. Another thing. When I was in the third grade, Lao Sutou, who lived in the house in front of me, tricked me into helping him write letters to relatives. I followed Lao Sutou to the door of his house. It was Zhang Yong who saw it. I called back and warned me to ignore the old man, saying that he was not a good person. Not long after, Lao Sutou was taken away, and three corpses were dug up in the yard of his house, all of which were left-behind girls who had been tortured and killed. . If Zhang Yong hadn’t stopped me, maybe something bad would have happened to me long ago. I’m scared to think about it now.”

Lin Zhiyuan was still very angry, "Isn't bullying you enough to offset those so-called good things? He ruined your innocence! Why do you still care about his life and death? Don't you only remember the benefits and not the disadvantages?" Listen At these words, Chen Xu burst into tears, "Brother, I lost all my relatives when I was five years old. Not many people treat me well, so all the people who are good to me and all the kindness to me are engraved in my heart. It is precisely because of this that I will never forget Teacher Lin. Brother, I have let go of his bullying of me. Always thinking about his bullying of me will not make me happy. I don’t want to Mention it again.”

Lin Zhiyuan's anger was slowly resolved by Chen Xu's tears and trembling voice. He softened his attitude and gently stroked her hair, "Silly boy, why are you so stupid! I promise you this time, in the future you Can you learn to be more selfish? Only selfish people can live a better life, do you understand?"

Chen Xu nodded, "I know. In fact, I am quite selfish. Zhang Huan's mother came to me before, when her husband was arrested. She came to me for help, but I didn't care." Lin Zhiyuan Sighing, does this child understand selfishness so well? He said helplessly: "Xiao Xu, you have me and your little brother now, you can live a little more freely, and we can meet your material needs. It may be right to forget the past, but forgetting does not necessarily mean you forgive. . You want to be very happy, do you understand? No one wants you to be happy more than the two of us. We are all your relatives." Chen Xu laughed while crying, "What virtue and ability can I have, with you? Such two good brothers." Lin Zhiyuan was really helpless when facing her, and a thousand words condensed into two words, "You!"
