What I didn't expect was that my mother actually put her hand on her chest, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, you scared me to death. I thought you were committing murder and stealing goods, but it turned out that you were robbing tombs. We are here." There are quite a lot of tomb robbers, many people in the village do so, and there are also some in our village. That old Uncle Zhao has robbed tombs before, and he even dug up silver ingots in the ditch to the west."
It was really beyond my expectation that my mother could say this so easily. I thought she would make a fuss, scold me and beat me for a long time when I said it, but she turned out to have such a "nice" attitude.
Of course, I also know that maybe she didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.
I continued: "Mom, the ones I robbed are different from those small brawls they did. The ones I robbed were all big tombs. If any of the tombs were discovered by the relevant authorities, we might have to go to jail for the rest of our lives, or Just to be shot.”
As soon as I said these words, my mother's face, which had just been relaxed, immediately wrinkled up nervously.
"What do you mean, they robbed all the big tombs? And they still have to be shot?"
"Well, for example, one of the tombs is that of a prince in ancient times. How important is a tomb like this in the country? If he had been caught during the crackdown a few years ago, he would have been shot. Even if he is not shot now, he will definitely have to work hard for the rest of his life."
"Oh!" My mother patted me hard again: "Then why do you want to do something so big? Why can't you just steal some small tombs?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "You don't make money. Our family had to pay Zhang Kang so much money at that time. I did it as soon as my brain got hot. Now it's too late to regret it. It's too late. It's already been stolen anyway." "
"It's all Zhang Kang and Liu Xuanxuan's fault. If they hadn't hooked up, your brother wouldn't have stabbed someone. Your brother wouldn't have run away if he hadn't stabbed someone. Then you wouldn't have to rob tombs." She said, even more anxiously. He stamped his feet: "What should we do now? Are you going to be shot if you are caught? Who will rob the tomb with you? Is it reliable? No one else knows now, right? Is it safe? You This child really doesn’t give mom peace of mind. If something happens to you later, what do you want mom to do?”
"Mom, don't worry. I actually have a way out now and can avoid punishment. I'm telling you this to prepare for running away in the future, so don't worry. Listen to me and tell you slowly."
Later, I told my mother about my tomb robbing, such as Zhao Hu’s pigtails, Xiaoye’s short-haired girl and Sister Yuan. After saying this, my mother was still a little angry. Said: "You mean, they are all grave robbers? Fortunately, I was thinking about which girl is better and let you work harder to be your wife in the future. Now it seems that they are all grave robbers."
"Mom, other people's tomb robbing is different from my tomb robbing. For example, Xiao Ye, her family already has money. People robbing tombs are not for money. However, there are special circumstances over there."
"That Yuanyuan, have you been doing this for many years?"
"Um."
"As soon as my mother saw her, she felt that she was not simple. Did she drag you into this industry?" When my mother asked me this, there was a hint of complaint in her eyes. She obviously wanted to blame Sister Yuan for this. Carrying on the body.
I immediately laughed and said: "No one dragged me into this business. I took the initiative to recruit others. Don't think about blaming others here. Besides, if I hadn't robbed the tomb, our family's debt problem would not have been solved." , maybe I have been forced to death by Zhang Kang and Liu Xuanxuan, right?"
"Then if you really go into business selling electrical appliances or something, you might be able to make money. Mom thinks you can do it, then you..."
"Oh, Mom, things have come to this point. What's the use of talking about it now? I'm not telling you this to let you blame me. I have something to discuss with you."
"What's going on? You're not asking mom to help you rob the tomb together, are you?"
Because I haven't told my mother about Liu Xuanxuan and Zhang Qingshan's threats at this juncture, so my mother doesn't know the seriousness of the matter yet.
I smiled bitterly and said: "You are already old, how can I let you rob tombs with us? This is the case. Liu Xuanxuan and Zhang Qingshan knew about my tomb robbing. They used this to threaten me and asked me to cooperate with them. If I don’t cooperate and make money for them, they will report me.”
With that said, I told my mother about Liu Xuanxuan and Zhang Qingshan.
After hearing this, my mother stomped her feet angrily, saying that this Liu Xuanxuan was really the breadwinner of our family. She did not agree to my brother being with her at the beginning. If my brother had listened to her, he would not have let this person Disaster has plagued our family like this.
She also said that she would go to Liu Xuanxuan and fight her to death. I immediately stopped my mother and said, "She is a bitch. Do you have the right to fight her to death? I will have many ways to deal with her in the future. I just hope that you can turn around and follow her." Let’s go live abroad together, okay?”
"Going to live abroad?"
I nodded: "Yes, tomb robbing is allowed abroad. Even if someone discovers it, it will be fine. And if we go abroad, I can ask my brother to go with us. Then our two sons will be with you." How do you feel about being filial to me?"
"Your brother? Your brother is going too? Have you told him?"
I shook my head: "No, I haven't told him yet, but I told him that he will definitely agree. Besides, Zhang Kang is in trouble again. When my brother comes back, he will either obey Zhang Kang and Zhang Qingshan's words and act like a cow." Ma begs for forgiveness, or he will never come back for the rest of his life, and you won't be able to see her, so you might as well go abroad, right?"
"But...but Mom has lived here all her life, why are you asking me to go to a foreign country where I am unfamiliar with my life, and I can't speak a foreign language?"
"The country we are going to has a Chinatown, or some countries in Southeast Asia. Many people speak Chinese. It is no problem to go and communicate. Anyway, if you don't go, I don't want to go. If I don't go, There is a risk of being caught and shot. You won’t watch your son be shot then, right?”
"Then...if we go abroad, when will we leave?"
Later, I told my mother my plan. Anyway, I couldn't give her a specific time. When the time comes, I might leave immediately.
"Then mom, please pack your things in these two days, right? You have to grab what you need to carry, otherwise you will leave suddenly and not have time to pick up many things. If you delay things and affect you, you said I..."
I immediately interrupted my mother: "No, you can't pack your things now, you must not."
"why?"
"Now Zhang Qingshan may be monitoring me, including you. As long as you pack your things and show signs of running away, he will definitely arrest me, and we won't be able to run away by then. Maybe he will even send me to jail directly." Here, so what should you do in the next period of time? Just be busy with the dumpling house every day. Chatting with people is also fun. Don’t feel any psychological pressure. We only need to cooperate with Zhang Qingshan for the time being and are willing to It's still safe to rob tombs with him, so don't worry."
My mother sighed: "I'm afraid I won't act like it."
"It's okay. As long as you don't pack your things or run around, just stay in the dumpling house and work. I will take care of the other things for you."
"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement."
How can I put it, my mother is much better than I thought. First of all, after she found out that I was robbing tombs, she didn’t show too much opposition or reprimand me. Secondly, after she found out that we were going abroad, she seemed reluctant. , but he was still willing to cooperate with me and go abroad with me. In this way, the stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground.
But I knew that my mother would definitely be under a lot of pressure, so I comforted her for a long time later and told her that we could still live a good life abroad, and Zhang Qingshan might not directly report us if we go abroad. As long as we drag Zhang Qingshan into the water, even if we go abroad, Zhang Qingshan may suffer the consequences of being dumb and keep secret for his own safety, so we can come back at any time.
