What to do if my husband eats his own vinegar every day

Staring at the phone screen, Gu Chen was inexplicably restless.

Judging from the mobile phone number segment, this unsigned text message was sent from City B, and the person who knew Xu Fang's real name and called him brother was probably his half-brother.

Xu Fang once said that he got along badly with his nominal brother.Since the relationship is not good, the other party still calls him Brother Zheng Yu so affectionately, combined with the content of the entire text message, it seems to be suspected of deliberately poking someone's pain.

Seven years ago, this was a very distant number. At that time, Xu Fang had not yet entered high school. Fourteen or fifteen years old was the pure and beautiful flowering season and rainy season. At that age, he was at most a little rebellious. Would he still do some heinous crimes? something?

Gu Chen nudged Xu Xinglan with his elbow, and handed the phone to him, "Look, what does this text message mean?"

Xu Xinglan only glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed. He snatched the phone, and then, under Gu Chen's suspicious gaze, quickly deleted the text message, with an urgent look, as if he was destroying a top-secret document. Still not at ease at the end, he cleared all the text messages before he was willing to give up.

His strange behavior made Gu Chen even more uneasy.

"Why did you delete the text message?" Gu Chen asked anxiously, "Do you know who sent it?"

"Xu Zhenghong, the son of Xu Fang's stepmother." Xu Xinglan poohed bitterly, and it was rare for him to show an angry face, "Damn it, crazy, fortunately I am the one who is awake now, if Xu Fang or Li Xin saw it, who knows what will happen!"

The name Xu Zhenghong, Gu Chen always felt that he had heard it somewhere, and when he first heard Xu Zhengyu, he also felt familiar, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it.

"Does Xu Fang have any clues in his hands?" Gu Chen suddenly wanted to know what Xu Fang did six years ago today, so much so that after so many years, Xu Zhenghong still clung to him and deliberately sent a text message provocative.

But Xu Xinglan obviously didn't want to say more. Faced with Gu Chen's doubts, he evaded and said, "Actually, it's nothing serious. It's just a fight. It has nothing to do with Xu Fang. It was Li Xin who did it, but Li Xin can't be blamed." , he just had to..."

Gu Chen asked the bottom line, "Who are you fighting with? Xu Zhenghong?"

"No, alas," Xu Xinglan sighed, "I don't know how to say it, you have seen Xu Fang's situation, no matter what we have done, he will pay the bill in the end... But sometimes , We can't restrain our behavior, it's very strange to say, we obviously have thoughts and self-control, but we still can't get rid of the control of emotions, it seems that there is a terrible force manipulating us in the dark, I often Feeling helpless, but powerless... No way, Xu Fang can only bear a little more..."

Hearing these words, Gu Chen's heart ached. Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he could deeply feel the sadness and helplessness in each of them.

He felt sorry for Xu Fang who had endured too much, and also felt sorry for Li Xin and the others' pain of being dominated by fate. It would be great if these four were separate individuals.They are all so good, but they have never been treated tenderly by this world, just like outcasts abandoned by God. God created four souls, and only threw them a body, let them huddle together and struggle to survive. , is really cruel.

Gu Chen was about to say something comforting, when a new text message came into Xu Fang's phone suddenly, he craned his neck subconsciously to look over it, and saw it said: Brother Zheng Yu, don't pretend you didn't see it, you kill... …

Before reading the whole content, Xu Xinglan deleted the text message.

Gu Chen's pupils dilated slightly, his expression was full of astonishment and confusion, the word "kill" made his hair stand on end.

"What did Li Xin do back then?" He hoped that his poor eyesight made a mistake, and he stared anxiously at the boy in front of him, eagerly hoping that the other party could say something to break his guess.

It's a pity that Xu Xinglan didn't notice his eagerness, but made a phone call to Xu Zhenghong, and he was bombarded: "Xu Zhenghong, don't play tricks like this with me! I don't need you to do what I have done Worry about it, just take care of yourself, just like you, an ignorant second-generation ancestor, be careful that one day you play off and hurt Dad's heart, and deprive you of your right to inherit property!"

After Xu Xinglan vented, he hung up the phone angrily, while Gu Chen sensitively caught a few key words.

The second ancestor, the right to inherit, echoed repeatedly in his mind...

Gu Chen suddenly realized, and finally remembered Xu Zhenghong's identity.

There is a well-known rich man in City B. He started his business by reselling steel. By chance, he formed a cooperative relationship with the director of a steel factory. That era was still in the period of planned economy, and the huge profits of the steel industry made him the first in his life. pot of gold.Then he established the German Steel Group. He not only engaged in iron and steel metallurgy and steel trade, but also decisively extended his tentacles of attracting money to various industries such as catering, real estate, and tourism when this industry entered the cold winter. What to do, in just ten years, the total assets of Degang Group have exceeded [-] billion yuan, and he has also been promoted to the richest man in City B.

His name is Xu Dingguo, and he is a rich man and even a great philanthropist.

He once donated 5 million yuan in his own name to establish the Yuhong Charity Foundation in City B, which is mainly used for charitable projects in disaster relief, poverty alleviation, education, and elderly care. .

It was rumored that his two sons were very disappointing. The eldest son had committed a major crime and was suppressed by him using his connections. Then he sent him out of the country and never let him come back.The youngest son is a typical rich second-generation dude. Although he hasn't caused any major disasters, he keeps getting into small ones. Relying on his father's wealth and power, he is used to running rampant like a crab in City B.

Because of these two sons, Xu Dingguo was very troubled. He was born in the late 50s. Doing good deeds all over the place is to obtain a good fruit for his sons.

City B is not big, so a little gossip can spread throughout the city, and gossip is always the topic of conversation after dinner, and people love to talk about it.

Gu Chen also couldn't remember when and where he heard these rumors. It seemed that he was often mentioned by others. Everyone was like a paparazzi, desperately digging out the secrets of the richest man, and then spoke out with embellishment.

Originally, the matter had nothing to do with him, Gu Chen forgot it after hearing it, but he never expected that Xu Fang was born in a wealthy family, and he was the eldest son of the Xu family who committed a crime and was sent abroad.

As for what exactly happened, no one knows. Xu Dingguo probably spent a lot of manpower, material resources and money to completely block the news. Even searching the Internet, he couldn't find any information about his eldest son. .

Gu Chen thought of that penetrating word "kill" again.

kill what?

person?

……

Do not!

impossible!

Gu Chen kept denying his conjecture in his heart, but unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat.

He put his last hope on Xu Xinglan. Knowing that the other party would not reveal a word, he still asked unwillingly: "Xinglan, can you tell me about Xu Fang's past? What happened six years ago?" What happened? How did Xu Fang get that injury? Xinglan... Please, tell me? I really want to know..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Gu Chen was stunned as he spoke, Xu Xinglan who was standing in front of him cried without warning.

Two lines of clear tears slid down his cheeks, and he wiped them while weeping, but the tears flowed faster and faster, and flowed more and more, rolling down from both sides of the nose, converging into a river of tears.

A cheerful and optimistic boy actually cried like a wronged child.

Gu Chen looked at him, feeling sad for a moment, tears streaming down his face.

What exactly did they go through to cause such pain.

Gu Chen suddenly felt that he was useless, unable to protect him well, and could do nothing but cry with him.

"Xinglan..." Gu Chen rushed up to hug him, his heart ached like a knife.

How to do?

Who will save him...

Help me, Xu Fang...

Maybe it was suppressed for too long, or maybe it was the complete release of emotions. The two hugged each other and cried until the sky was dark.

At first Xu Xinglan just cried silently, but after a while, he couldn't help sobbing in a low voice, and then the more he cried, the more sad he buried his head in Gu Chen's neck and wept loudly.

Seeing how uncomfortable he was, Gu Chen felt uncomfortable, cried with him for a while, and patted him on the back to comfort him, while she felt extremely sad, her chest twitching and hurting all the time.

After a long time, he broke into sobs and said: "You, do you know...Before I came, Xu, Xu Fang were abused for three years...From the age of five to eight, I don't know how many beatings... When I woke up for the first time, my nose and mouth were full of blood, and the severe pain was constantly attacking me. It turned out that someone was kicking my legs, stomach, arms, and head... I was lying on the ground , unable to move, I didn’t even have the strength to struggle and dodge... I smelled the strong smell of alcohol, I heard the sound of bones breaking... I thought to myself, who am I? Why did I wake up? Rather than bear the pain All of this, might as well, forever... sleep forever..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Xinglan was sobbing.

When Gu Chen heard this, he cried harder than him. At the same time, there was still a flame of anger burning in his heart.

"Who kicked you? Who abused you?! Who is that person!!"

"Xu Fang's stepfather..." Mentioning this person, Xu Xinglan's voice couldn't stop trembling, as if he was recalling something terrible, he couldn't help hugging Gu Chen tightly, in a tone that made people feel chills down the spine Said, "He's a drunkard, oh no, he's a devil, he beats us every time he drinks alcohol, if grandma didn't inadvertently discovered this, we would have been beaten to death by him long ago."

"What about Xu Fang's mother? Doesn't she care?" Gu Chen gritted his teeth with hatred, "Did that drunkard beat her too?!"

"she?"

The sound of sobbing suddenly disappeared. Xu Xinglan raised his head and looked forward blankly. The room suddenly became quiet, suffocatingly quiet.

Gu Chen held his breath and waited for a moment, a cold voice full of hatred resounded in the air.

"She doesn't care about our lives. Several times when I was beaten, I saw her watching indifferently. I asked her for help, and I said, I am in pain, I can't take it anymore, I am going to die, please help Help me, save me. And she just looked down at me from above, her eyes were so indifferent that it made people desperate, she refused to take a step towards me from the beginning to the end..."

"I often have a terrible idea that she took Xu Fang to marry an old and ugly alcoholic, maybe just for this day, seeing Xu Fang being trampled like a beast, she should have the pleasure of revenge Bar."

"To be honest, not only Li Xin hates her, but I also hate her, I wish I could tear her apart..."

Xu Xinglan raised his head and let out a long sigh. When he looked at Gu Chen again, the sullen expression on his face subsided a little.

He slowly let go of Gu Chen who burst into tears, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. Those are all things in the past. It's been more than ten years. Let's not think about it, okay? You don't either." Cry again... Okay, stop crying." After he finished speaking, he wiped away the tears for Gu Chen, hugged Gu Chen again, then turned around and walked towards the bathroom, leaving Gu Chen with a sad face behind, covering his face. I froze in place with my chest in my chest, feeling like I was going to die from the pain.
