At night, after the old man finished washing, he returned to the house alone.
Since he agreed to Li Zhen's move, the gloom on the old man's face disappeared and was replaced by a smile. He also called his grandchildren and granddaughters to his side and chatted with the children. This situation made Zheng Yuanlong and Zheng Yuanhu quite unhappy. Understand, according to the character of the old man, he is a strict and rigorous person, he is very strict in everything he does, and he is also extremely serious in teaching children. In the eyes of the children, the old man is very fierce.
Now, the old man put down his body and chatted with the children with a smile, and his personality changed drastically. This not only surprised the children in the house, but Zheng Yuanlong and Zheng Yuanhu also felt baffled. Zheng Yuanhu even had a bad premonition in his heart, as if something was about to happen, except for the old man's In addition to the change in personality, there is another thing that makes Zheng Yuanlong and Zheng Yuanhu feel weird.
After Li Zhen left the Zheng family, Zheng Youwei then found Zheng Yuanlong and handed over everything in the house to Zheng Yuanlong in the shortest possible time, completing the handover of family affairs at lightning speed.
Afterwards, the old man stopped caring about the family affairs on the pretext of enjoying his family life.
As the saying goes, no one knows his son better than his father. I know my son's thoughts, but on the other hand, my son doesn't know his father. Zheng Yuanlong and Zheng Yuanhu are both familiar with the old man's character. They know that the old man is a restless person. He must have something on his mind to do this, but The two brothers made several guesses, but they couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking. After several observations, they found that everything was normal with the old man, so the two brothers had to be watched.
In the dim room, the lights flickered.
A thin old man, sitting in a room.
The old man's left elbow rested on the round table, his left hand supported his chin, and his right hand held a piece of old and yellowed rice paper. The rice paper was old and had scrawled writing on it. However, the old man stared at the words on the white paper in a daze. A smile appeared on his face for a while, a look of nostalgia on his face for a while, he laughed foolishly for a while, and in the end, he simply stopped talking for a long time and became completely silent.
Those cloudy eyes became moist.
Fifteen minutes of sitting there passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was already late at night.
"Bang, bang,."
The sound of the night watch came from outside, awakening Zheng Youwei who was in silence.
"well……"
Zheng Youwei sighed and placed the yellow paper in his hand on the gently swaying flame of the oil lamp. In an instant, the rice paper burned, and the yellow flames kept moving. The yellowed rice paper was almost finished burning, and the hand holding the rice paper could feel a faint burning pain.
call,.
The remaining rice paper fell to the ground and quickly turned into ashes.
Zheng Youwei stood up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back...
Outside the courtyard, an attendant was standing vigil specifically for Zheng Youwei. The attendant had received orders from the eldest master of the house, Zheng Yuanlong, and did not dare to be careless. He kept paying attention to the movements in Zheng Youwei's house. However, he did not notice anything unusual and stood there. One night, the attendant felt strange in his heart. The old lady was fine, so why was he staring at him? The attendant couldn't understand, but he still watched him conscientiously.
Suddenly, the attendant's ears moved and he heard the sound of footsteps. He followed the sound and found a burly figure walking from the darkness. The attendant instantly became nervous and his nerves were tense.
"Second Master,."
When the attendant saw clearly through the light, he shouted in a low voice.
The person who came was none other than Zheng Yuanhu, the second child who stayed at home. After nightfall, Zheng Yuanhu lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. He was always worried that something would happen to Zheng Youwei, so he got up and went outside Zheng Youwei's yard to take a look. Zheng Yuanhu He shushed to signal the attendant to keep his voice down. After approaching, he stood at the door of the yard, looked at Zheng Youwei's house, and asked in a low voice: "How is the old lady doing?"
"It's always been fine, nothing unusual."
The attendant bowed his back and answered respectfully.
At home, Zheng Yuanlong is in charge of the internal affairs of the family, but everyone knows that the second master is the mayor of Guangzhou City, a well-known official, so the attendants are also deeply afraid of Zheng Yuanhu. Zheng Yuanhu nodded, his eyes unblinking Staring at Zheng Youwei's room.
"Bangdang,,."
A voice came from Zheng Youwei's house, breaking the silence.
It's like something fell to the ground.
Zheng Yuanhu's heart was already in a sensitive period, and he was afraid that something would happen to Zheng Youwei. After hearing the sound, he seemed to feel something had happened, and rushed into the yard and ran towards the door of Zheng Youwei's house. He ran to the door, Zheng Yuanhu knocked on the door, but he only heard a humming sound coming from the house. This made Zheng Yuanhu even more anxious. He quickly pushed the door, but it was locked inside, and he couldn't push it open without any strength.
"Second Master, please get out of the way."
There was a loud roar, and the attendants who were keeping watch rushed over.
"boom,."
The attendant's body was placed on the door, and with a clang, the door was knocked open.
Zheng Yuanhu looked up and screamed in fright.
He rushed in quickly and shouted: "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you? Why can't you think about it?" Zheng Youwei hanged himself in the room. The moment he kicked the stool, he happened to meet Zheng Yuanhu coming over. Zheng Yuanhu came over. Cooperating with the attendants, they rescued Zheng Youwei from hanging. Fortunately, Zheng Youwei found out as soon as he hanged himself. After some rescue, Zheng Youwei slowly woke up and opened his eyes again. However, Zheng Youwei's expression He was a little pale, and there was blood on his face and eyes.
Obviously, it was caused by hanging just now.
Zheng Yunhu cried anxiously, grabbed Zheng Youwei's hand, and said with choked sobs: "Dad, if we don't move, if we don't move, how will I live if you always have troubles?" He is not a fool, he understands Zheng Youwei. He planned to die to express his ambition, and would rather die than move away.
On the surface, he agreed to Li Zhen, but Zheng Youwei had other plans.
Zheng Youwei grinned and said: "It's okay, your father is lucky and not dead."
Zheng Yuanhu quickly shook his head and said, "Dad, why are you doing this?"
He looked at Zheng Youwei's old wrinkled face and felt miserable. Looking at the current situation, Zheng Youwei had no intention of moving out. Now, it was even more difficult for Zheng Yuanhu to be caught in the middle. On the one hand, he was stubborn. The old father has made it clear that he is unwilling to move, so he can no longer force Zheng Youwei to move; on the other hand, the Zheng family has promised Li Zhen that he is willing to move. Judging from the current situation, only To be able to live up to Li Zhen's kindness.
It didn't take long before Zheng Yuanlong rushed over.
Zheng Yuanlong felt uncomfortable when he learned that his old father had hanged himself. Zheng Yuanlong and Zheng Yuanhu were both filial sons. After seeing Zheng Youwei's stubbornness, they both deeply regretted it. If they had found out later, their old father would definitely have died. If Zheng Youwei Because it was really suicide, the two of them would never have peace of mind for the rest of their lives.
Zheng Yuanlong held Zheng Youwei's hand tightly and said with choked sobs: "Dad, our family will not move. We will stick to it to the end. I don't believe the president is so unkind. We will definitely get the president's forgiveness in the end."
Zheng Youwei shook his head and said nothing.
Neither Zheng Yuanhu nor Zheng Yuanlong slept that night and stayed with Zheng Youwei, fearing that Zheng Youwei would not be able to think about it anymore.
ps: Call it a day; will it break out tomorrow? Hey, it is said that it will.
