[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

"Dad, we're here to see you." Ah Chu brought Ah Ci to his father's grave, he knelt down and put down the flowers, took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and placed it in front of him, "Dad, I'm sorry. In the past, you were always restricted from smoking, but now it doesn’t matter, you can smoke.”

"No...it's impossible, you must be lying to me!" Facing his father's tombstone, Ah Ci shook his head in disbelief.

"I also hope that I lied to you." Ah Chu stood up, put his hands on Ah Ci's shoulders, and could clearly feel the trembling of his body, "You know in your heart that I will not joke about such things, all of this it is true."

Ah Ci's thoughts were confused, his eyes looked straight ahead, and he asked blankly, "Why? How could this happen?"

"Dad's heart has always been bad, and the weather has changed recently, so he is prone to illness..."

"He knows I was in a car accident, doesn't he?" Ah Ci's face turned dark, and he felt chills all over.The date of his father's death was engraved on the tombstone, which happened to be the day when the full moon wine was served for Ai Zhong Aihua, and it was also the day when he had a car accident.But Ah Chu didn't call to tell him about his father's serious illness, so it must have happened after his car accident.Now he was very sure that his father's death had something to do with him.

"It's my fault that I couldn't hide it from him."

Ah Ci shook his head in a daze: "No, it happened because of me, you are not wrong..."

"Ah Ci, don't be harsh on yourself." Ah Chu frowned, his eyes turned red, "Also, don't suppress your emotions anymore, cry when you feel like crying."

Ah Ci still stood there, like a statue: "I have no right to cry, this is all caused by me."

"Don't think so! You are innocent and don't need to bear any responsibility for an accident!"

But that was no accident!Why did Ronghua, his father, die instead of himself?Ash closed his eyes bitterly.

"Are you tired? Let's go back... go home."

"Home?" Ah Ci asked in a daze.Ronghua is gone, his father is gone, and both homes have lost their meaning and become empty shells without warmth.Where else could he go?Where else can I call "home"?

"Yes, our home." Ah Chu looked at him worriedly, "In fact, I want to hide it from you for a while longer, at least until you fully recover. You have just been discharged from the hospital, telling you now is tantamount to taking a risk... I hesitated for a long time. The reason why I decided to bring you to see Dad today is because I came to mourn Ronghua today, but Dad is still lying here alone. You were the one who worried me the most during his lifetime. Now that you have been discharged from the hospital, you should personally come to comfort his soul in heaven. Also, there are too many things waiting to be dealt with at home and in the company, and there is no longer any delay. Only you can help me share the burden... ...I'm not a person who has no ideas. But when Dad left, I felt like I lost my heart, and there was no one in the family who could speak my mind. I need you, and this family needs you too! Come back with me, okay? "

Ah Ci was still in shock, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't fully understand his elder brother's earnest words, but the emotions in the words were conveyed to his heart without error.He felt Ah Chu's exhaustion, so he turned his head and looked over.I feel that Ah Chu is much thinner than when we first met him, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his complexion is not much better than myself...Although Ah Chu never mentioned how he survived this month, no matter from the wrinkled suit On his face, or on the green stubble at the corner of his mouth, it can be seen that he is forcing himself to support the family.

Ah Ci pursed his lips, nodded slowly and said, "Okay."

……

On the way back, the sun shines on Ah Ci's face through the car window.He was in a daze—is all this true?Will father never enjoy the air after the rain and the warm sunshine?

Ah Chu leaned on Ah Ci, closed his eyes and rested tiredly: "Let me lean on for a while...Ah Ci, sometimes I feel very tired."

"Yeah." Ah Ci looked at his brother, and belatedly realized that Ah Chu was also an ordinary person, who was also hurt and tired, and needed to be taken care of by others, but he never talked about it, and started everything on his shoulders.Now that his father is gone, Ah Chu is his closest family member. He is determined to help Ah Chu shoulder some responsibilities as much as possible from today on.

It took a long time for Ah Ci to realize that his eldest brother is probably the person who understands him best in the world—his growth environment determines his life pursuit.He wanted to bring some joy to the family, but most of the joy of his father's youth came from his new love.He wanted to carry some weight on his shoulders, but his father planned his life for him.Choosing the job of the police is not just his rebellion, but the embodiment of the value of life.He needs a responsibility, and Ah Chu will give him a responsibility.

The car came to a complete stop, Ah Ci got out of the car, and before he opened the door to enter the house, he vaguely heard the cry of the baby.He glanced at Ah Chu and found that the other party was quite calm, so he asked uncertainly, "Is there any crying inside?"

"Yeah." Ah Chu nodded numbly, leaned on the sofa after entering the room, closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows, not intending to visit his son in the nursery.

Ah Ci felt sad for a while.He thought, the old man loves those two little grandchildren the most. If the old man was still there, he would not let the child cry like this indifferently——At this moment, he truly felt that his father had indeed left this family, and would never Will be back again.

Mrs. Liu rocked and coaxed a child, walked to the stairs and looked down.She was so nervous that her face was sweating, and she carefully looked at her employer's face and explained: "You are back... This baby still doesn't recognize the pacifier, or it may be because she doesn't like milk powder. She picks her mouth and cries when she is fed."

Ah Chu frowned and nodded: "I understand, it takes a while to get used to it... It's been hard work."

"Milk powder?" Ah Ci was a little surprised, "Ya... sister-in-law isn't breastfeeding yet?" This was the first time he corrected himself, calling Ya Shu like this, unexpectedly it was also the last time.

"Yashu and I have agreed to a divorce." Ah Chu said calmly, resting his forehead on his hands.

"What?" Ah Ci felt that this happened too suddenly.He originally thought that Ah Chu and Yashu were just having a small conflict, and it would be fine after a few days. He didn't expect that they had already gone through the formalities neatly, "Wait, this... this is not in compliance with the regulations. You can't get a divorce within a year, right?"

"Yes...but this is not the case if the woman asks for a divorce."

"Why? She must have a reason for divorce, right? Is it really hard to live?"

"Ah Ci, stop asking, it's my fault..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ah Ci turned his head and rushed out.

Ah Chu ran over in a few steps and grabbed his elbow: "Where are you going?"

"I'll go find He Yashu! I'll explain to her for you, this month you have to go to the hospital to take care of me, take care of my father's funeral, and deal with the company's trivial matters. It's impossible for you to have the energy to have an affair..."

"Don't bring up an affair as soon as you talk about divorce. Marriage is a matter between two people. The affair you refer to is just an excuse when the relationship rift cannot be repaired." Ah Chu sighed, "She didn't misunderstand anything, I ignored her feelings, so you don't have to defend me."

"But have you ever thought about loving Zhong Aihua? Can't you try to save it for the sake of your children? Don't you want to see them like we did back then?"

"No." Ah Chu still held Ah Ci tightly, and said firmly, "I will raise Ai Zhong and Ai Hua, they will not be separated, it is different from us at that time..."

"Why is He Yashu so cruel? He doesn't even want a child!" Ah Ci became even more impatient, since his childhood knot was that his mother didn't want him, so he left with Ah Chu.Who would have thought that He Yashu was even worse than her mother, she would leave as soon as she wanted to, without taking a single child with her!Moreover, this is obviously taking advantage of the accident in the Yang family to bully Ah Chu who is physically and mentally exhausted!He just felt a bad breath in his chest, and he had to go to Yashu to discuss an explanation today.

He shook off Ah Chu's hand and walked out quickly.Surprisingly, Ah Chu didn't stop him from calling him.But he just felt something was wrong, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he walked out the door without looking back.He found Liu Ahsi smoking in the yard, so he reached out to ask for the car keys.

Liu Asi was stunned for a moment, seeing the anger on the second young master's face, could it be that he was arguing with the boss?He glanced behind Ah Ci hesitantly, immediately changed his face, walked around Ah Ci and walked into the room: "Boss!"

Ah Ci's heart tightened, and he turned to look at the door, only to find that his brother was leaning against the door frame, with one hand supporting the wall to maintain his balance, and the other hand clutching the clothes on his chest, curled up and gasping for breath, looking very painful.

"Brother! What's wrong with you?" Ah Ci hurried back and supported Ah Chu with Liu Ahsi on the left and right.He was so anxious that he hugged his brother and yelled at Liu Ah Si, "Go and call the ambulance!"

Liu Ahsi also panicked, felt all over his pockets, and finally took out his cell phone to dial.

"No need..." Ah Chu frowned, and said to Liu Ah Si with difficulty, "In my bedroom... there are medicines in the drawer of the bedside table."

Immediately, Liu Ah Si rushed upstairs to look for medicine in three steps at a time.

Ah Chu held on again and said to Ah Ci, "Help me...to lie down."

Ah Ci nodded, carefully hugged him to lie down on the couch, and said in a trembling voice, "Hold on, the medicine will be available soon."

Liu Ahsi brought a small square medicine box with four compartments, and asked uncertainly, "Is this it?"

Ah Chu glanced at it, then nodded slightly.Ah Ci hastily poured a glass of water and fed him the medicine.

Soon, Ah Chu's breathing was much more stable, and his brows were slightly relaxed.He pressed his heart, pulled the corner of his lower lip slightly, and forced a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Ah Ci hated him the most, like a delicate and forbearing "sick beauty", which really made people feel distressed: "What kind of disease are you? Why is it so serious?"

"It's not serious, but it's easy to get palpitations when you're in a hurry." Ah Chu calmed down, and said helplessly, "Ah Ci, don't go to Ya Shu. Just save me some dignity?"

Needless to say, Ah Ci had given up the idea of ​​going to talk to Yashu long ago—even if such a woman who has fallen into trouble, even if she regrets and proposes to remarry, she will never enter this door again!He just wanted to vent his anger on Hejia, but he didn't expect that holding on to this issue would be like adding salt to his elder brother's wounds!When I entered the door just now, I saw Ah Chu rubbing his forehead, and he didn't even care about the crying of the child, so why didn't he think that he was unwell?Ah Ci was bored for a long time before he choked his voice and said, "Brother, I just want to do something for you."

"This is easy. In the future, we brothers will have to work together to support this family. There are many things that need you to do... But the most important thing now is to take good care of your body, you know?"

"Yeah. You too, don't pay attention." Ah Ci glanced at the small medicine box.You almost passed out from the attack just now, and you said you were not serious?Intuitively, he thought Ah Chu's illness was not that simple.It's a pity that there is no label on the portable medicine box, and I don't know what the ingredients of the medicine are and what kind of disease it is used for.He frowned, carefully observing the pills in the medicine box, trying to remember the shape and color, and then learn about his elder brother's condition from other channels.

Ah Chu sat up straight, drank a few sips of water, and put the cup back on the coffee table.Inadvertently, he put the small medicine box into his pocket.

Ah Ci had no choice but to think of another way.

……

Ah Chu rested for a while, then went upstairs with Ah Ci to see their two sons.The child just rejects the bottle of milk powder, and after being full, he stops crying and sleeps soundly.

Ah Ci looked at the two motherless little fellows, feeling pity in his heart.He remembered that when he was a child, he was withdrawn and aggressive, and his extreme longing for maternal love eventually turned into rejection. He would rather be punished than learn to sing the song "Only Mother Is Good in the World"... A few years later, will Ai Zhong Aihua be better than her? Is he more cynical?No!They must not be allowed to repeat the same mistakes!Ah Ci secretly decided to do his best to help Ah Chu take care of the two children and give them a happier childhood than children with mothers.

"Ah Ci, every time I see the two of them, I can't help but think, wasn't it the same when we were first born?" Ah Chu wiped the saliva from the corner of a child's mouth and said gently.

Liu Ahsi walked in, afraid of waking up the two young masters who were sleeping, and said in a low voice, "Boss, Uncle Niu has already cooked the porridge."

Ah Chu nodded: "Let's go, Ah Ci."

Ah Ci frowned, he really had no appetite.After the operation, I ate liquid food for a month, and now I feel nauseous when I hear the word "congee".Coupled with the fact that I just learned about these things that happened at home, I didn't feel like eating at all.So he waved his hand: "Eat it yourself..."

"You promised me to take good care of your health just now, why are you disobedient now?" Ah Chu glared at him, and his voice grew louder.

Ah Ci immediately raised his hand in surrender.Firstly, I was afraid that he would wake up the child by yelling loudly, and secondly, I was afraid that he would get angry and fall ill again.So he pushed his shoulders and walked downstairs: "Got it, got it, let's eat together!"
