It was also the first time for Xie Tianyou to invite him to dinner, and he even booked a private room. Xie Zhengyan had already developed serious precautions against his family members, fearing that there would be an ambush during the dinner, so after he sat down, he pushed away the menu his father handed over, and said with a cold face: "I've eaten. If you have something to say, hurry up. I have to go back to work overtime."

"Okay."

Xie Tianyou sighed obediently, today his face is like a dried squid soaked in water, every muscle is soft, and there is a faint kindness of a father.But this aura was filtered by Xie Zhengyan's vigilance, and he suffered too much, he was afraid that the other party's wolf would wear sheep's clothing, and he had no good intentions.

The father-son relationship between the two has long been in vain, and Xie Tianyou must have felt strange to him. At the end of the day, he couldn't say anything else. He opened the suitcase and put it aside to push and pull the suitcase. He took out a large blue nylon woven bag and put it in front of Xie Zhengyan. The falling sound was very heavy, and it seemed that there were many printed materials inside, and the sharp edges and corners were firmly supported under the bag.

"Give some money to Nong, a total of 40, and use it to start a business or settle a home. If there are any extra, I will give Nong's grandma a full meal. Count Nong as a son and do a little filial piety for me."

His father's words made people astonished, Xie Zhengyan unwrapped the plastic bag, and it was indeed full of brand new pink, he was immediately confused.

Xie Tianyou had already lit a cigarette, expressing his depression by swallowing clouds and fog.

"Yesterday, I went to the demolition office with Nongmu's mother on my back to sign and receive the demolition funds. All the money has already arrived. I will give you 40 yuan. I will take all the rest away. I will go to live in other places and never come back again. Nongmu My mother is too selfish and heartless, I have no feelings for Yi at all, like Yi Jiening, only brother Nong can take care of him, brother Nong is like Yi, ruthless and ungrateful, just wants to squeeze out all the money in the family, and doesn't even care about mother's life , a white-eyed wolf."

It took Xie Zhengyan a lot of effort to clean up the distorted lines on his face. Persuasion is one of the national education in China. Although he agrees with his father's views from the bottom of his heart, what he says is different.

"Nong may have misunderstood. My brother came to me and said that Yimai wanted to collect rent in the future for the purpose of opening shops one by one, so that Nong and mother can take care of themselves."

Xie Tianyou was furious: "Listen to Yi's nonsense! If the money goes into Yi's pocket, it will be meat buns beating dogs. All the money I have earned in these years has been taken away by Yi and Nong's mother. It is so easy to pay for the demolition of the old house and return it to Yi." I have been raped, and I will do everything possible to swallow it. Yi’s wife, Ga, is snobbish and fierce, and told me to move to Yi’s house. She will definitely be called a beggar in a few days. By then, I will be penniless, so I’m going to sleep on the road?"

"dad……"

"Nong don't want to talk about it. I will fly away at night. Seeing that you have been obedient these years and have a little filial piety to adults, I gave you the money. If the money falls into the hands of Nong's mother, I don't want to share it." Money. Nongmu’s mother said that Nong wants to sever ties with the family, and I also support it. I’ve had enough of being unkind and family, and I’ll be clean when I leave!”

After Xie Tianyou finished speaking, he spat out thick phlegm, which seemed to condense the resentment he had suppressed for decades, and the poison fell to the ground. Xie Zhengyan was surprised at first, he thought his father was the perpetrator who was in the same camp as his mother, I never thought that he would endure persecution for many years just like himself.He doesn't love his family, is it because there is no one in the family worthy of his love, and he hates the family because the family members are indeed detestable.Their home is a bitter kiln full of mud and sand, a wind and rain like dark wasteland, utilitarian calculations strangled all warmth, and ground everyone's hearts into stone.

Silence covered them like a black curtain, and the father and son ended up thinking about their own concerns and harboring their own melancholy.Xie Tianyou kept smoking, and the ashtray in front of him was soon stuffed into a hedgehog, very similar to the one Xie Zhengyan had seen at Xie Tiande's house. He stared at his father's face through the heavy smoke, and vaguely saw the appearance of his second uncle. It was also an omen, but unfortunately it still failed to arouse his vigilance.

At night, he had a strange dream. He dreamed that all the teeth in his mouth fell out, and he vomited all over the floor red and white. After waking up, the stimulation of rolling broken teeth seemed to still remain in his mouth.He often heard old people say that dreaming of losing teeth indicates that their parents will die, their father will die if they lose their teeth, and their mother will die if they lose their teeth. In the dream, he clearly lost all his teeth. Could it be a bad omen?

Some superstitions have existed for thousands of years, and there is always a certain truth. He was invited into the Shanghai Criminal Police Brigade the next day, and the photos of his parents were both published in the newspapers on the same day, in the form of a murder case.

What triggered the case was the Xie family's compensation for house demolition of 483 million yuan. Liao Shuying was determined to be a nail household and negotiated with the demolition office, so Xie Tianyou took advantage of it. He secretly received it without telling his wife. With this money, he planned to elope with his mistress, a 20-year-old girl sitting on a table.The plan was soon revealed. With the assistance of her eldest son Xie Zhengxing, Liao Shuying found out the record of Xie Tianyou's ticket purchase and boarding time, and rushed to the airport to intercept it.The couple met at the end of the road outside the airport hall. During the life-and-death quarrel, Liao Shuying lost her mind and drew a knife and stabbed. Xie Tianyou's mistress ruptured her carotid artery and died on the spot. He himself injured his heart and lungs and died on the way to the hospital.Liao Shuying was subdued by airport security after the murder, and has now been transferred to a detention center. An extramarital affair was sacrificed with two lives, drawing a bloody end.

As a person related to the case, Xie Zhengyan is obliged to cooperate with the police investigation. After hearing the news, the scenery around him was eclipsed, and the sound was completely silenced. It was like being in an old-fashioned black and white silent film, unable to understand the direction of the plot.When faced with questions in the police station, they could only answer with "um, yes, I don't know, I don't know". Young people are already out of their wits.

Back on Yuyuan Road, he bought two sleeping pills at the pharmacy on the street, swallowed them on the spot, and recited the house number and shop sign on the side of the road as he walked, to prevent himself from thinking about other things, and waited until he fell to the ground and reached On the bed, he plunged into it like a drowning man, committing his body and mind to the darkness.

The escape can only be temporary, the pain pursues him at full speed, and when he wakes up, it first gives him a heart-piercing suffocation, and then the sorrow continues to spread, like an army pressing across the heart, with no end nor end .The astonishing tragedies only appear in books, but now they jumped out of the frame of fiction and jumped before his eyes vividly, weaving horror and death with gongs and drums, and blood and tears were painted in every corner of his heart.

However, the reality further cruelly deprived him of his right to collapse. His father died and his mother was imprisoned, and there was still a pot of leftovers at home that needed to be cleaned up.Ah Shuigong called and said that Xie Zhengxing called the lobster shop to close down and took all the cash from the cabinet yesterday. The workers didn't know who to ask for this month's salary, and the supplier still owed several sums of money. Will come to ask for it, what should I do with it?

Most of the guys in the store have been working for many years, and they are honest and good people. The suppliers they have been cooperating with are also honest and reliable. The tragedy happened at home, and the business must not be able to continue, but the money owed must be paid back.

Xie Zhengyan first contacted Mrs. Gui and asked her to help her stay at home to take care of her grandma. Mrs. Gui was kind and benevolent, and had a deep friendship with the Xie family.When Xie Zhengyan rushed to Xie Zhengxing's unit and asked him to come out to discuss the aftermath, Mrs. Gui had already settled in Xie's old house and called to say that the demolition office agreed to postpone the demolition for a few days after learning about their home's situation, but the construction period could not be delayed too long. Ask him to finish the funeral as soon as possible and notify them to enter the site for construction.

Xie Zhengxing worked in a government agency, and it was inconvenient to receive outsiders. The two brothers met in a nearby coffee shop.Xie Zhengyan saw that his brother's face was full of energy as usual, and then looked at his depressed description printed on the glass window, thinking that the stark contrast only reflected the strength of his psychological quality. It was not until he experienced the following things that he realized that his thoughts were too naive.

Xie Zhengxing brushed aside the issues of funerals, payment for goods, and wages of workers, and then went straight to the topic—division of inheritance.

The inheritance left by Xie Tianyou is mainly the compensation of 483 million yuan. The money is still in his bank account, but only he himself knows the password. The notary office is required to issue inheritance procedures, and several heirs are required to be present at the same time.The situation is the same as the 5000 yuan left by Xie Tiande when he passed away. Since the Xie family and Xie Yiyi's mother and daughter have not yet reached an agreement, the money has not been taken out so far. Since it is not a large amount, it is okay to delay.But the more than 400 million yuan in Xie Tianyou's account cannot be ignored. According to Xie Zhengxing, Liao Shuying's crimes are serious and have a great influence on public opinion, so she is bound to be dealt with severely by the court. the only means necessary.

"I went to the detention center yesterday to see my mother. She has written a property power of attorney to me. The 483 million demolition funds belong to her and her father's joint property after marriage. She is entitled to half of it. The remaining half is my father's estate. Originally, Muma was also eligible to inherit a share, but she killed her father, and she will be deprived of inheritance rights according to the law. So now only our two brothers and my grandma have the right to inherit. Muma's case may cost a lot of money, and the appetites of those in charge It's very big, more than 400 million is not enough, but it doesn't matter if it is not enough, I will fill in the excess, and I am willing to go bankrupt in order to save my mother. I think you are the same, Dad is gone. Sentenced to the death penalty, we are so embarrassing as sons. So brother, I beg you now, can I go to the notary office with me, sign the letter of renunciation of inheritance, and use all the money to save my mother."

Xie Zhengyan's state of mind at this time is like a broken pearl falling apart, he is not a person who sees profit and forgets righteousness, and his heart is as soft as a cake.On this occasion, Precarious also agrees that people are more important than money, and immediately nodded: "Signing is no problem, I will cooperate at any time, but the shop assistants have not yet received their wages, and some payments have not been settled. Let's do these two things at the same time." , they have helped our family so much, we cannot owe them."

When Xie Zhengxing heard that he agreed to sign, he was overjoyed at first, but after he finished speaking about repaying the money, he put on a deep bureaucratic air.

"According to the spirit of the contract, the accounts should be settled, but now is an extraordinary period, and every penny must be spent wisely. Those workers have worked in our family for so many years, relying on their parents to provide their livelihood. Now the owner is in trouble. It is reasonable for them to sacrifice a month's salary to repay. There are also those suppliers who usually rely on our family to open stores to make money, and the profits they get are more than a hundred times higher than the arrears. , they will not chase after them to the death.”

When Xie Zhengyan heard that it meant being a rebel, he didn't take it seriously, and said anxiously: "That's not what you said. Although Ah Shuigong and the others receive wages in our house, they all rely on labor to earn money, and the payment is equivalent to the return. People report favors? Suppliers are also, doing business itself is a matter of fair trade and mutual benefit. People deserve more or less. They have not taken advantage of our family, nor have they sold inferior goods to fool us. Now we owe money and do not pay back. , it doesn’t make sense in terms of emotion or reason!”

Seeing that he was agitated, Xie Zhengxing was afraid that he would regret the matter of giving up the inheritance in a hurry, so he immediately changed his attitude to appease him, and said, "Well, come with me to the notary office tomorrow to get all the business done, and the business in the store will be done later." Dealing with it, after all, saving people is the most important thing at present, and other things can be temporarily pushed back."

Xie Zhengyan hadn't figured it out yet, so he followed his instructions in everything, and agreed to go to the notary office in Hongkou District tomorrow morning.When he came out of the coffee shop, he was sad and thoughtful. Looking around, his troubles seemed to be piled up like a mountain. Even if he grew eighteen more hands, it would not be enough to deal with it. How could he still go to work under the burden?I had no choice but to resign early and concentrate on housework.

In the afternoon, he went to the company to submit his resignation letter, and Wang Dafao was astonished and tried his best to persuade him to stay. After hearing him explain the reason, he realized that it was useless to waste his words. A lot of them were sent to him, and when he left, he sincerely said: "I know you will leave sooner or later. I have been in the company for so long. It is rare to see such a hard-working and capable employee like you. Working in my small place Not for long. Go out and have a good time, and support our old friends when we develop in the future."

Xie Zhengyan has always had a bad impression of this boss who picks hairs, but unexpectedly, he became kind when the time came. Maybe it was a parting, but his words were also kind.
