Facing the sunset, I returned, and the crying behind me gradually disappeared.
For Xiao Han, this journey is redemption and enlightenment.
In this world, a person's life is so fragile!
After it fades, there is only a void. Maybe it can stay in the hearts of relatives for a while, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is always so insignificant.
"I carved my name on the white clouds, but it was taken away by the wind. I carved it on the beach, but it was taken away by the waves. Then I carved my name all over the streets, and it was taken away by the government..."
Xue Pan listened to Xiao Han's unconscious words, without thinking deeply, but suddenly felt a little funny: It's just a few words, where the government dares to arrest you? Even if it was Chang'an Mansion, he wouldn't dare to do this.
Outside the carriage, the idiot was still muttering, whispering that the man from that household just now didn't look like a good person, and he might have some plans to meet Cai...
As a result, Xiaodong gave him a hard squeeze again.
"Shut up and keep your voice down! Mr. Hou is in a better mood. Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable if he encounters such a bad thing again?"
Unfortunately, when Xiaodong said it, it was still a little late.
Xiao Han had already come out of his chaotic thoughts. He recalled the frightened expression of the little boy, and when he heard the idiot's muttering, his heart suddenly thumped, and he immediately stopped Xiaodong who was driving the car.
"Xiaodong, what you said is right! We are here to help the deceased, not to cause trouble to the orphans and widows. Let's go back and take a look!"
Xiaodong grabbed the reins and glared at Lengzi fiercely, but Lengzi had an innocent expression on his face. Xiaodong had no choice but to turn around according to Xiao Han's instructions.
At this time, they had gone a long way, and when they turned back to the village, it was almost completely dark above them.
Back in front of the thatched cottage in the small courtyard, the original crowd had already dispersed, leaving only two white lanterns hanging outside the house, swaying in the evening breeze, looking particularly desolate.
After getting off the carriage, without disturbing anyone else, Xiao Han slowly came to the door of the thatched cottage.
There was someone talking in the room, and there was more than one person. Xiao Han, who was about to knock on the door, immediately stopped his stretched out hand and stood outside to listen.
Judging from the voice, it seemed that an older person was talking in the room. The thin wooden door couldn't block the sound, so Xiao Han heard it clearly.
"Ms. Liu, now there are no men in your family, and your son also died outside when he was a soldier. You have only one grandson left. Your destiny..."
The speaker stopped here and just sighed.
The woman's plaintive voice then sounded: "Uncle, my fate is not good. It is destined by God and cannot be changed! I have nothing to think about now. I just want to raise my grandson and see him marry a daughter-in-law. , then I can close my eyes with peace of mind.”
"Sister-in-law! Look at you, Xuan'er is a child of our Liu family, how can we ignore him?"
Another voice came, very familiar, it should be the woman's brother-in-law.
Xiao Han calmed down and continued listening.
"However, it's still early for Xuan'er to grow up, and the things those people just sent are not safe at home. It's better to..."
Before the brother-in-law finished speaking, the woman interrupted him coldly and said: "No! My men paid for these with their lives! How to use them, just put them there! Don't worry about it!"
As soon as the woman said this, Xiao Han heard the room immediately become noisy, especially the brother-in-law, who was quite angry:
"Hey, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Let's not mention that we are doing this for your own good! Let's just say that when we sent the things, they also said that this was to compensate for the death of my eldest brother! My eldest brother is not yours alone! Old mother and uncle, among them are brothers and sisters like us, and there are nephews and nephews! Which one is not considered a relative? Which one has not given favor to my elder brother before? "
"That's right, niece-in-law, you are from a widow's family, so you have a foreign surname! You are not allowed to marry anyone else in the future! When the time comes..."
"That's right, if nothing else, the old lady must have a share of this money! And these hot sisters, aren't we all part of the same family?"
Outside the door, Xiaodong and Lengzi listened to the people in the room talking, and they were so angry that they almost burst out of Tianling Gai!
I heard that the royal family has a precedent of ignoring corpses and attacking each other! I didn’t expect that such nasty things would happen in this small door!
It is said that money moves people's hearts, but are they so easily passive?
I gritted my teeth and was about to rush in and ask these people if they wanted to be shameless! Xiao Han didn't know why, but he raised his hand to organize them.
After stopping Xiaodong, Xiao Han pushed the door forward slightly, pushed the door out through a gap, and squinted to look inside.
The room was still noisy at this time, everyone's attention was focused on the money, and no one noticed that Xiao Han and others were peeking outside the room.
Through the graceful figures in the room, Xiao Han saw the woman who had changed into a white dress. At this moment, she was hugging the little boy and fell to the ground weeping secretly.
"Did I do something wrong by using property to compensate?" Seeing the helpless look of the woman, Xiao Han suddenly had such an idea in his heart! If I hadn't taken it, or taken less of it, wouldn't the current situation have evolved into this?
However, Xiao Han also knew that this was a completely unreliable idea. Since people's hearts were already broken, it would only be a matter of time before it showed up.
Slowly, the voices in the room became quieter, not because of guilt or anything else, but because the woman's brother-in-law came up with another idea:
"According to me, these money and things were bought by my brother with his life! In other words, they should belong to my Liu family! Wait until tomorrow to bring the old lady back. These things should be distributed by her! It should be Whoever’s it belongs to, it’s his!”
"The enemy! This is how it should be!"
"Yeah! Listen to the old man, you're right!"
After the woman's brother-in-law finished speaking, everyone in the room nodded.
Xiao Han looked over quietly. There was calculation, hope, and joy in the eyes of these people whispering to each other, but there was no sadness!
At this time, the woman on the ground was holding the little boy numbly, and suddenly laughed miserably: "Listen to the old lady? Bah! The old lady has been confused for a long time, and she doesn't even know who she is! How to listen? And for so many years, except for my family, , who else among you has taken care of her? If my man hadn't been out for a long time this time, and I really couldn't take care of the older one and the younger one, could she have gone to the fourth child's house? "
After that, she didn't listen to these people's arguments. She lowered her head and said to her grandson in her arms: "Xuan'er, look, these are your relatives! When your father died, not many people came to visit, let alone Those who are willing to help us! When your grandfather died, they all crowded over, why? Didn’t they just see those stinky money?!"
The woman's words touched the pain points of many people, and some of the thin-skinned ones were already a little ashamed, but when they thought of the money, their shame was immediately thrown into the pit outside.
What is conscience? How much does it cost per pound?
