Reborn Petty Citizen

What exactly it looks like, Zhang's mother didn't figure it out until she arrived at Li's house.

Li's house, it's simple and simple, the old man lives in a small two-story building, and usually when his sons and grandchildren come back, they can't even live there.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is extravagant. From the entrance of the courtyard, a guard post is set up, all of them are armed with live ammunition, and the guard posture is even stricter than Zhang's.

The overseas situation has been a little tense recently. Li Changzheng, as a related person, is being protected. The Zhang family is not visible because of the relationship with the juniors, but the Li family is in the limelight. It is probably not much inferior to that when Mr. Li was in power.

Li Dengfeng was holding the chess pieces, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, he seemed to be thinking, but in fact he was always paying attention to the wall clock on the wall from the corner of his eye.

He has a long life, and there are not many old chiefs in their eighties left. He has worked hard for half his life, and the most worrying thing when he is about to die is this youngest son.And now.Li Changming finally found a partner while he was still alive, which was really a great comfort to the old man.The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law of the Li family are sitting around the table and whispering their ears. Li Changzheng's wife, He Jiaosi, is usually nonchalant and well-informed. She knows a lot more than her sister-in-law who is not in Beijing. She will meet soon. The man found out.

"It's more than 40, and that's not too young..." The second daughter-in-law Xie Hua echoed in a low voice, "Changming hasn't found a suitable one for so many years, and now he's finally settled, why do he choose someone so old?"

He Jiaosi glared at her: "Which one of us is not older than others? Being old is not a bad thing, just be more cautious. It's just that I heard that she has two children with her."

"Two!" Xie Hua was even more astonished, "How much can you endure? The literary soldiers in their twenties and twenties introduced by our father were all pure, beautiful, and well-organized, but it turned out that they couldn't take advantage of it. Go ahead..."

He Jiaosi frowned, feeling that she and her sister-in-law were not in the same mind at all, and she didn't bother to talk to her anymore, gossip is also about finding someone who suits her.

She randomly found a reason to avoid Xie Hua and talk to her sister-in-law Ma Qiu. Ma Qiu was much more knowledgeable than Xie Hua, and what she said would not be so ignorant.Is she talking about disliking people for their age?What's wrong with getting older?Those art soldiers in their twenties look decent, but in fact... hum.What she was worried about was the two children brought by the other party. Although the men in the family expressed their sincere welcome, when it came to women, she had to think more.

Xie Hua was still surprised, wondering why Li Changming didn't want a beautiful woman but fell in love with a middle-aged woman who was young or not and had a child. Which man doesn't love young and beautiful?At this age, she is desperately taking care of herself, but her husband still makes little troubles from time to time that make her worry, not to mention Li Changming, who has been crazy for decades, maybe he has had enough fun and calmed down, so he specially finds an old and Ugly control yourself?

Li Changzheng rolled his eyes. Women's topics are always incompatible with him. He has seen Zhang Ze's appearance before, and now only Zhang's mother is curious. It is the character of the other party.

When Zhang's mother got out of the car and saw so many guards, she was still a little apprehensive, but she had seen similar scenes in the Zhang family, and the apprehension was only for a moment, and soon passed.Li Changming took her hand and squeezed it lightly, with a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was sweet for a while. Zhang Ze straightened his neckline and looked away, ignoring the blunt discomfort in his heart.

The orderly had already finished the transmission when the car just drove into the yard. The whole family was a little nervous. The pot of tea seems to be sitting there with a golden knife, but in fact, his eyes glance towards the door from time to time.

The Li family's daughter-in-law regained her dignity at this moment, He Jiaosi and Ma Qiu huddled together and exchanged tacit glances, the two looked at Xie Hua, Xie Hua was still surprised by Li Changming's choice, fingers mingling together, The boss is old and doesn't know how to be stable.Few of the daughters-in-law of the Li family were born rich, and the old man did not lay down his foundation at an early age, but decades of rich life have allowed the women to absorb almost all the skills they should learn, and the Li family is like this Xie Hua still retains some of the mannerisms of his youth.

When the footsteps sounded, Xie Hua couldn't help stretching his neck, and his well-maintained almond eyes glanced out.

"Dad!" Li Changming's voice was loud, and he stepped in first, and looked around the room with a look of joy on his face. When he met Li Changzheng's eyes, he couldn't help grinning, "Look who I brought?"

He took a step back and gently helped the woman standing behind him out. As soon as his eyes came into contact with this person, he became a little silly.

Xie Hua was stunned at first.This man was tall, with a well-proportioned body, and his skeleton was just right. Standing there when he was still and silent, he had a kind of handsome look.Wearing a dress that she had never seen before in China, the design and tailoring were first-class. The skin on Guazi's face was not fair, but it was absolutely firm and shiny.There are only smile lines at the corners of the eyes, the bridge of the nose is high and straight, the corners of the lips are slightly hooked and the eyes are focused on looking into the room, leaving only one sentence in her heart - no wonder.

How can such a beautiful woman be in her 40s with two children?

However, the next moment, Xie Hua's eyes widened even wider.

After Li Changming helped Zhang's mother into the house, he stretched out his hand to bring in Zhang Ze who was walking a step slower. Needless to say, Zhang Ze's appearance is not good at the moment, and there is an inexplicable feeling in his brows. His sadness, coupled with his cold expression, gave people the impression that he was a melancholy noble son.

Xie Hua's eyebrows and eyes were a little sad, well, needless to say, the new sister-in-law is probably from a very good family background.

The old man was helped up by Li Changzheng, with a calm expression, staring at the three people outside the door for a while, and suddenly burst out: "Okay! Just come home!"

Everyone could see that he was in a good mood, but Zhang's mother was a little nervous. She bumped Li Changming's waist and said, "Your dad was still smiling just now." What does he mean by not smiling now? It's hard to explain why it's so troublesome. Regarding the matter, Li Changming took Zhang Ze and Zhang's mother's hand and strode into the room, his voice was like a mosquito: "It's okay, he likes you."

Mr. Li couldn't help being satisfied in his heart.Not to mention Zhang's mother, but Zhang Ze, a gentle and gentle young man who can be seen at a glance, suits his taste. Where is there such a character among the grandsons of the Li family?Everyone's intestines are black, he is the same as Mr. Zhang, the biggest worry is that he has no one to take care of.

The youngest son is filial piety!Li Dengfeng, who has always been partial to his son, was relieved that this grandson and daughter-in-law found it for him, as if picking it out with a magnifying glass with a lantern.

Because Li Li was familiar with Zhang Ze, he became the most acquainted person in the house. He brought tea and water to Zhang Ze and asked him if it was cold outside. The women looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that Li Li might be Really like this new kid.Then there was no need to hesitate, the atmosphere didn't even appear silent, He Jiaosi and Ma Qiu went forward in a friendly way to hold the embarrassing mother Zhang one by one.The two praised each other's clothes, shoes and necklaces to build awareness. Who would have expected that this would happen to be in the field that Zhang's mother is good at.The Li family has only been a divorced person like Li Changming for a few lifetimes. He Jiaosi and the others seem to have a temperament now, but in fact they are all married wives who suffered when they were young. How many can really be free to catch up with fashion?Zhang's mother happened to be in the fashion circle. When everyone was chatting, she picked out a silk scarf from her bag and tied Xie Hua's beautiful bun.This time, even Xie Hua, who was still somewhat inexplicably resistant, felt the sincerity and liking of the other party. It was the first time for the women to get along so well, and several of them clamored to give the new sister-in-law something.

Zhang Ze was sitting among the men, and Li Changming finally felt relieved when he saw the intimate look of the women over there who wanted to hug each other and change clothes.The sister-in-laws are not thoughtful people. He knew Zhang's mother could get along with them early in the morning, and now there is no break-in period. When men see women making friends so quickly, they all smile knowingly.

Li Changming's eldest brother Li Changcun, second brother Li Changzheng and third brother Li Changde appeared in this small building so neatly for the first time in several years. Reunited, naturally he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He held the teapot for a long time and didn't think of drinking it. He had been staring at Zhang Ze for a long time.

Zhang Ze's eyes were not very polite, and he stared at the expressionless little old man in front of him coldly. The men felt happy when they saw it, and smiled and winked at each other.

Li Dengfeng became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it. He knew exactly what he looked like when he was happy. What a kid!Neither humble nor overbearing, courageous and big-tempered is also good.Ordinary children's liver trembled early when they saw him like this, and those with a bad temper might have to yell at themselves for being disrespected.

"Okay!" the old man thought, and put the purple clay pot in his hand on the table expressionlessly, "Can you play chess?"

"..." Zhang Ze felt ashamed, "I can play backgammon..."

The old man was taken aback, and asked his sons what backgammon meant. Li Changzheng couldn't help laughing at Zhang Ze's bowed head and red ears, so he leaned over and whispered the rules of backgammon to his father.

Five minutes later, the old man used the pear-bottomed, black-and-white jade Go board, which he had treated as a treasure for half his life... and Zhang Ze started playing backgammon.

Zhang Ze couldn't let go at first, but after winning the first set, he quickly became excited.Staring at the chessboard with watery eyes and smiling secretly, the old man's heart melted. In the second game, he hesitated for a while for the five chess pieces that could have been linked together, and replaced them with one that didn't hurt. The place that does not itch comes down.

Zhang Ze hastily blocked the four sons completely, his eyes almost squinted and he couldn't see, the old man stared at his expression all the way, wanting to pinch like a cat scratching his heart, he couldn't help it in the fifth set , rubbed his hands: "Ozawa..."

Zhang Ze's eyes were bright, and when he looked up at Li Dengfeng, there was still a little complacency on his face.

Li Dengfeng's heart was immediately hit by this little complacency, his eyes softened not a little bit, even though his face was still calm, it would not make people mistake him for his joyful mood.

Li Dengfeng crossed the table and patted his head. His eyes were like water, and he was afraid of scaring Zhang Ze. He deliberately lowered his voice softly: "You are a good boy, and this will be your home from now on. We are all your family."

"Huh?" Zhang Ze was a little surprised, "Uncle Li hasn't married my mother yet."

Li Dengfeng frowned, slowly put on a smile, and cheerfully shifted his gaze to Li Changming's direction. After seeing his younger son fidgeting, he asked softly, "Has the wedding date been fixed yet?"

Li Changming scratched the sofa, thinking about the sincerity of the child's words, he laughed dryly: "Chunjuan hasn't agreed to marry me yet."

The old man smiled even more: "I didn't know you were so stable."

Li Changming gritted his teeth: (#‵′) convex (#‵′) convex (#‵′) convex!

***********

The car staggered back towards the night, with a sleepy mother and son sitting in the car, and of course, there was another Li Changming.

Li Changming was dragged to the small study by his old father for a conversation. The content of the conversation was unknown, but only Li Changming knew that the old man's finger snapping skills, which had not been out of the mountain for many years, greeted him on the forehead and ears.The humiliation was beyond words.In the end, he was kicked out of the study by his old father who told him not to enter the house if he could not get married. Li Changming can still remember his terrified feelings at that time.

It was indescribably hard.

Zhang's mother flipped through the gifts given to her by several women, stamps, necklaces and a pair of earrings. They were very expensive, but they were treasures cherished by their original owners.The Li family doesn't seem to pay much attention to details, such as giving away old things to others, the owner of an ordinary person must weigh it carefully.But this also made Zhang's mother feel a lot more relaxed. If the Li family really followed etiquette in everything, she might suffer a lot today with her lively and free temper.

Seeing the sadness on Li Changming's face, she didn't pay much attention. When he came out, Li Changming seemed to be reprimanded by the old man. It would be embarrassing to be reprimanded as an adult.

She couldn't help but want to laugh again.

In late spring and early summer, the weather is a bit cold, and the temperature drops as soon as the sun sets.Zhang Ze wore thin clothes when he went out in the morning, and he didn't feel anything under the sun, but he felt a little cold when he left Li's house just now.

Zhang's mother couldn't find a suitable coat in the car. It was warm in the car, and Zhang Ze refused to ask for clothes from his mother and Li Changming.

However, in the distance, the elongated figure illuminated by the headlights turned a corner, and the mother and son found a tall man standing under the street light opposite the unit.

As the car got closer, Zhang's mother was very surprised: "Why is Xingzhi standing downstairs? Wait for us? It's just a few steps away..." Before she finished speaking, she frowned when she saw the clothes Du Xingzhi was holding in her hands. Picking, looking back thoughtfully glanced at Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze lowered the window stupidly and shouted, "Old Du!"

Du Xingzhi had already approached with strides, and before the car stopped, he stuffed the clothes in, muttering: "I told you in the morning to let you bring a dress, I put it on the sofa and you can forget it. Put it on Get out of the car and close the windows."

The rustling sound of dressing brought Zhang's mother back to her senses. She watched the interaction between the two children, and her expression suddenly became a little unpredictable.

Du Xingzhi glanced at Zhang's mother, with a flash of worry in his eyes, then smiled slightly, and greeted Li Changming with his head.

Li Changming also said foolishly: "The relationship between these two children is really good, and Xiao Du is also considerate enough. If that silly child in my family, how could he think of getting up and giving clothes."

Zhang's mother smiled a little reluctantly: "Yes."

After she returned home, she stared blankly at the TV. The male and female protagonists interacting on the screen did not impress her very much. Her mind was filled with the ordinary relationship between Zhang Ze and Du Xingzhi.How could it be ignored?Yes, it was too intimate at the beginning, but she didn't come back to it until today.

For young men in their twenties, who would be willing to sleep in the same bed?Du Xingzhi's thoughtful and meticulous care for Zhang Ze has obviously crossed the line. It is reasonable to say that he cares for his younger brother, but Zhang Ze and him are clearly not brothers!

Zhang's mother used to worry that Zhang Ze would imitate his rich friends in Beijing, but now no matter how she thinks about it, she can't remember what Zhang Ze has done that is beyond common sense.She has never even talked about love, and the only one who can touch her shadow is the girl who was misunderstood by her before and took away a pair of shoes.

Zhang's mother became more and more panicked. She looked towards the second floor and suddenly remembered the ring on Zhang Ze's ring finger.

Just now, she was sure that Du Xingzhi also had one in his hand!

******

Before going to sleep, Du Xingzhi recalled Zhang's mother's previous expression over and over again, and unconsciously picked at the ring with his fingers.Zhang's mother was much slower than he imagined, and even after wearing the ring for so many days, she didn't find the problem. Du Xingzhi had to do this. Now that Zhang Su has confessed and obtained leniency, he is extremely happy. I want to get through the crux of Zhang's mother.He is very dissatisfied with having to live by the rules in his own home. He hopes that Zhang Ze and Zhang Ze can be like normal couples or couples and get the blessings of all family members.

Zhang's mother seems to have rough nerves and a gentle temper, but she is actually the most stubborn person.Compared with Zhang Su, her lethality will only be greater.Du Xingzhi could only provoke the other party's nerves bit by bit, so that the concept of being together with Zhang Ze first appeared in her mind, and then it exploded, so that people would not be so at a loss.

Zhang Ze was relying on him to talk about what he had encountered in the Li family. It is said that the Li family is very kind, and the old man is also very funny. Although he is serious, he is a stinky chess basket.Du Xingzhi frowned, thinking of the old man his grandfather scolded when he was talking and laughing, and there was no match for the man Zhang Ze talked about.He sighed, knowing that the kid had been cheated again, he couldn't bear to mention something, so he grabbed Zhang Ze's hand: "Are you free recently? Can you accompany me to Huaixing tomorrow?"

"Huh?" Zhang Ze was not angry when he was interrupted, but rather curious, "Why did you suddenly want to go back to Huaixing? I have time tomorrow."

Du Xingzhi hesitated for a moment, then whispered to her, "Du Yuan is dead."

Before Zhang Ze could react, he was a little stunned: "Who is Du Yuan?"

Then his expression changed drastically: "Du Yuan is dead!?"

"In the afternoon, Huaixing called the company and confirmed that it's Du Yuan." The meaning in Du Xingzhi's words was elusive, neither sad nor happy.Du Yuan was quite polite to him, and after being taught a few times, she followed her own identity and dared not overstep. Du Xingzhi hated Du Rusong and Dou Shunjuan more: "By the way, Dou Shunjuan is dead too."

Zhang Ze was completely surprised. Anyone who suddenly heard the news of the death of a familiar person would not be completely out of it.Even if the relationship between this acquaintance and him can be called bad, Zhang Ze couldn't help but feel some regret when the life that was alive and kicking a while ago disappeared in an instant.

Du Xingzhi hummed in a low voice, there were some things he didn't want to tell Zhang Ze, so he left it at that.The two were silent for a while, and Du Xingzhi patted Zhang Ze on the back: "There is still a child alive, do you remember Xiaobao? Our mother took him for a few months, and the child is still alive. But Dou Shunjuan's direct All relatives died, and other relatives had no money and were unwilling to support them, and they were thrown away several times, and the police told me by the way."

Zhang Ze asked softly, "Where's your father?"

"Huh?" Du Xingzhi replied nonchalantly, "I don't know, maybe he ran away."

Zhang Ze didn't sleep well all night. Du Xingzhi pretended to be asleep while listening to him toss and turn.

Both Dou Shunjuan and Du Yuan died, and the murderer was Du Rusong, his biological father.When he first heard the news, Du Xingzhi thought that the other party was cheating, and after checking the other party's identity information, he really believed it.

How could Du Rusong kill someone?

Du Xingzhi had sworn to take revenge on Du Rusong when his parents divorced, but now that Du Rusong was going to be shot, he was not as happy as he imagined.

It's a kind of... unspeakable emotion.

As if he had punched the cotton pile with a ready-to-go punch, his whole body was filled with a sense of powerlessness.The spirit is excited from day to night, it is definitely not a happy mood, only when he is with Zhang Ze can he divert some attention.When everything was silent, he listened to his own heartbeat and buried his head in Zhang Ze's neck in a silent daze.

Still a little sad.His heart seemed to be churning with waves, but Du Xingzhi had to admit that his inner emotions were more negative.

The two people who hadn't fallen asleep got up at five o'clock in the morning when it was just dawn, looked at each other tacitly, and did not laugh at each other's faint dark circles, and they left home hand in hand.

Zhang's mother also stayed up all night, tossing like pancakes in her empty room until daytime, when the pointer pointed to 08:30, she finally made up her mind to get these two children back on track!

Arrogantly rushed to the second floor and knocked on the door of the room, Zhang's mother yelled: "Get up quickly, I have something to tell you!!"

There was no movement in the room, and Zhang's mother knocked on it for nearly half an hour, and she was so angry that she was about to pry open the door. Zhang Su, who was arranging the dishes downstairs, finally couldn't stand it anymore: "They left early in the morning!"

Zhang's mother was in a daze: "Leaving?"

I can't bear to watch this stupidity.Zhang Su couldn't bear the slowness of his sisters.The intimacy between Du Xingzhi and Zhang Ze during this period was barely on the table, and she didn't realize it until now. She really wasn't an ordinary person.

Zhang's mother felt a kind of lightness strangely.

Oh, let's go, it doesn't matter if you're not at home, she's not ready either.Then come back after a while and guide them.She sighed, thankfully went back to the house to brush her teeth.

**

After catching the earliest flight back to Huaixing, the two went straight to the police station.Du Xingzhi had already arranged a relationship with someone as early as yesterday, and when the police on duty heard about their intentions, they immediately invited the director out.

Du Xingzhi asked Zhang Ze to go to the police to see the child first, while he stayed to find out the details.These things are too dirty, and he doesn't want Zhang Ze to touch them.

"Buried corpses in oil drums?" Although Du Xingzhi already knew the nature of the crime was very bad, Du Xingzhi couldn't help being surprised at the moment, "Both of them were killed and buried in oil drums?"

The old director sighed, thinking of the details of the case, he still couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body.

Dou Shunjuan was killed first. Du Rusong himself confessed that after killing Dou Shunjuan, he dug a hole in the suburbs to bury oil drums for a month.The outskirts are remote and uninhabited, and if there is no accident, this female corpse will not be noticed until it rots.Du Yuan began to correspond with Du Rusong shortly after Dou Shunjuan's death. In the letter, she listed her difficulties in the county and begged Du Rusong to pick her up.Du Rusong did not agree at first, but Du Yuan seemed to be unable to take it any longer. She secretly bought a bus ticket and took the child to Huaixing, and went directly to find Du Rusong in the work unit.

Du Rusong had to take her and the child in.Du Yuan was naturally also curious about why Dou Shunjuan hadn't shown up for a long time. Du Rusong said at first that he didn't know, and then lied to Du Yuan that Dou Shunjuan had eloped with a Taiwanese businessman.Du Yuan was convinced of this, and even comforted Du Rusong indignantly. Du Rusong found her a job working on a sewing machine in a garment factory, and the father and daughter raised their children with wages, which was barely enough.However, at the beginning of the year, the urban reconstruction that started to speed up suddenly touched Du Rusong's nerves.

The outskirts were divided into development zones, and with Du Rusong's current connections, it was absolutely impossible to predict the news in advance.He accidentally heard the clue while chatting with his superiors, and immediately remembered his burial place.After inquiring around, he learned that at least one large road would be built in that area by then, so he couldn't sit still immediately.

It took a lot of effort to fill the oil drums, and it was even more difficult to dig them out. In order to quickly transfer the bones, he borrowed a pickup truck and was busy for a month.He originally wanted to throw the oil barrel into the river, but he was worried that there would be an accident and he would not be able to transfer it. After thinking about it, there was no safe place to go, so he actually put the oil barrel in the cellar of the villa building on Jiefang Road.

The large amount of gas produced by the decay of the corpse broke the cement. The oil drum became more and more stinky, and it seemed that it would not be able to hold it. He finally made up his mind and decided to leave Huaixing with the oil drum and go to the mountains to throw the corpse.

As a result, Du Yuan wanted to clean the old house on a whim, but things went wrong.She found a tenant who was interested in the old house, but when she went back to clean the old house, she found a diary in a hidden place.Du Rusong's criminal evidence was completely written in the diary. The diary was put together with an income and expenditure account book. The end date was when Du Yuan was still in her hometown. At the end, Dou Shunjuan wrote that she was finally going to succeed.

Du Yuan felt something was wrong. This diary was too far from the fact that Du Rusong told her mother to elope.Even though her mind has always been simple, she is not completely stupid.

But she was stupid enough to ask Du Rusong directly with her diary.Although Du Rusong panicked, Du Yuan could not resist Lao Youtiao's casual methods.Deep down in her heart, she didn't want to doubt her father, Du Yuan was coaxed by Du Rusong, but because of suspicion, she subconsciously paid more attention to Du Rusong.

She discovered the abnormality of her father's behavior in those few days.

There was always an indescribable stench in the yard, which faintly penetrated into the room through the window, making Du Yuan unable to sleep well.When Du Rusong took the oil barrel out of the cellar, the stench suddenly increased, perhaps that was why she chose to investigate, and then bumped into Du Rusong who was moving the oil barrel head-on.

Du Yuan wailed for her mother and quarreled loudly with Du Rusong. Because Du Rusong was in a state of high agitation, his tone was not very good, half threatening and half intimidating, and angrily cursed to drive Du Yuan out of the house.Du Yuan unscrupulously stated that she had Du Rusong's bribery account book in her hands, and even claimed to call the police to shoot Du Rusong. Du Rusong was in a trance, and Du Yuan was also killed...

He had no choice but to repeat his old tricks and make Du Yuan an oil barrel, and together with Dou Shunjuan, he took the provincial road to find a remote mountain road and drove in, then abandoned it.

It can be considered that he deserves to be unlucky. The hunting tradition is still preserved in the mountainous area. The stench of the corpses has attracted a group of scavengers, and the scavengers have attracted a group of hunters.The hunters were familiar with the smell of rotting meat. Two huge oil barrels appeared strangely in the col, and they immediately called the police.

Needless to say, Dou Shunjuan, Du Yuan was not completely rotten. From some details of her, the police quickly caught Du Rusong.

The case was full of twists and turns, Du Rusong's narration was smooth and unwavering, but the policeman who took the record couldn't help feeling cold.Killing his mistress and his own daughter with his own hands, this man didn't seem to feel any guilt at all, and he didn't even feel the annoyance of being caught. He was like a walking dead, without emotion.

He was undoubtedly sentenced to death, and the execution date was not long before.

Du Xingzhi decided to visit his father who was about to pass away.
