"Dad~"
"Dad~"
"Dad~"
Zhou Rong went straight into the shed with a sad face and red eyes wiping tears.
When she shouted, everyone sitting in the inner and outer rooms knew that she was back, and Li Suhua also called "Rong'er" from the window.
Cai Xiaoguang stood at the door and nodded when he saw Lin Yue and Zhou Bingyi. The eldest brother said, "Back?" He replied that he came back by plane from Hubei, but Lin Yue ignored him.
Zhou Rong cried for a while, and was pulled up by Wu Qian and told her that Li Suhua wanted to see her. Then she wiped the tears on her face and ran quickly to the inner room. When she saw her mother sitting on the bed, she couldn't help crying.
"Okay, don't feel bad. It's good that your dad didn't suffer."
"Mom, how can you say that? If Dad hadn't been stimulated, why would he suddenly become ill? If I had known he would be so angry, I wouldn't have told him what happened."
The conversation between mother and daughter made the neighbors sitting in the outer room puzzled. They couldn't figure out what Zhou Rong said to make Zhou Zhigang angry to death.
They were ordinary citizens of Guangzi Film and had no close relationship with Zhou Bingkun. Sun Qunchao and others had not spread the news yet, so naturally they did not know that the youngest son of the old Zhou family was the vice president of a large group.
Lin Yue did not enter the house, but sat in the main room talking to Congcong, because the relationship between the child and his grandma was okay, and his grandpa had basically never been together. Similarly, he did not understand the customs of Northeastern white affairs, so it was necessary to talk to Congcong. He told him not to do anything outrageous. Although he didn't care, Li Suhua still had to deal with the neighbors. If he heard others talking about the old man's funeral, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
He heard everything Zhou Rong said. He didn't want to have an attack in front of outsiders. The boss also told him last night and asked him to give him face and talk about anything after sending the old man away. He agreed at the time, but Now he regrets it, because the cheap sister's words imply that she is putting the responsibility for Zhou Zhigang's death on him?
He opened the door and walked out.
"Zhou Rong, tell me clearly, what do you mean by this?"
When Cai Xiaoguang saw that his mood was not right, he was about to step forward and pull him away: "Bingkun, your sister is just casual..."
"It's none of your business."
Lin Yue pushed him aside.
Cai Xiaoguang was embarrassed and lost face. She was also a little unhappy with Zhou Rong. She didn't know Zhou Bingkun's character? It’s okay to say this when no one else is around, but if you say it in front of him, can there be any good results?
The husband who was obedient to her was brought to a standstill by her annoying younger brother. Thinking about Zhou Zhigang's death, Zhou Rong became angry, pointed at Lin Yue and said, "You ask me what I mean by this? You know it yourself!" You were the one who made dad so angry."
Pa~
The sound of slaps echoed through the courtyard.
The neighbors were all dumbfounded. Yes, in front of them, Zhou Bingkun, his younger brother, slapped Zhou Rong so hard that the corners of his mouth bled.
"Bingkun!"
Zhou Bingyi came in from the yard, and when he saw the scene in the inner room, his heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that something might happen, so he distracted himself while Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Rong started to fight. The key was in front of so many neighbors.
There was another person standing behind him, Zhou Rong's daughter Feng Yue, but the girl looked calm when her mother was beaten, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Lin Yuediao didn't want to take advantage of his elder brother. He grabbed Zhou Rong's hair and pulled him in front of Li Suhua: "Do you know why I didn't say anything about the south? I didn't say it. The old man was holding his breath to see my joke. He You will eat well, drink well, sleep well, and live peacefully. What did you do? Are you very angry? You feel that you have been treated like a monkey. You should also let your parents feel the same, and then scold me, beat me, disgust me, and help you out. A breath of bad breath, what's the result? The old man knows that I'm doing well in the south, and my anger is gone, and my life is gone. Instead of reflecting on the bad things you did, you blame me, and want to expose it to everyone. I am accused of making the old man mad to death. After all, everyone in Quanguang Dijia knows that he does not want to see me. It is reasonable for the old man to be mad at me. Then? Then you can feel at ease, right? By the way, let Yueyue see her uncle. What kind of person is this, a selfish bitch like you, who has the nerve to be a teacher? Only that idiot Cai Xiaoguang would blindly fall in love with you."
Zhou Rong covered her face, her eyes were filled with resentment and a bit of panic. She really didn't expect that Zhou Bingkun could see so clearly and tell all the little things in her heart.
There was an uproar.
None of the neighbors expected that a funeral would involve the grievances between the children of the old Zhou family, and this Zhou Rong... was the pride of the optical film.
"I don't."
Zhou Rong strongly denied it. She didn't want to bear the reputation of pissing off her own father.
"You belittled Feng Huacheng, saying that it was vulgar for him to give gifts for winning awards; you belittled Yueyue, saying that she was spoiled by me and her aunt and turned into a money-worshiping girl; and Cai Xiaoguang, as a married woman, you have drawn a clear line with him for so many years. Have you? No, essentially he is your spare tire; and what happened in Daba Village in Guizhou, Gong Minghui still feels sorry for you that she is not a teacher... You taught her to read and write because you asked her to be a teacher? Bah, you just want her to help you realize your lofty ideals, so that you can live the life you want with peace of mind, just like you were supposed to stay at home and take care of your mother, but you pretended to be deaf and dumb to force your elder brother to come forward. Likewise, if you call others vulgar, selfish, or smell like copper, don't you know that you, who are the most filthy and vile but still pretending to be a moral model, are an out-and-out hypocrite."
Wu Qian and Yu Hong looked shocked. This was tantamount to stripping Zhou Rong's skin in public.
Others looked at each other in confusion. The Zhou Rong in Zhou Bingkun's mouth was completely different from the Zhou Rong in everyone's impression, but...it seemed that his brother's description was more convincing.
"Zhou Bingkun! You've made Dad so angry that you're going to force me to death?" Zhou Rong looked like a madman with disheveled hair.
"Let's not talk about whether I'm mad at the old man or not. If you say he drank pesticide and jumped off a building or something, it's too late for me to be happy, because this will give me enough reason not to interact with relatives and friends of the old Zhou family. , This is so in line with what you and the boss think of me."
Zhou Bingkun is such a reckless person...
Some people recalled the scene when he broke Er Xiong's leg. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, the third child of the Zhou family was still the third child of the Zhou family, unchanged at all.
At this time, Cai Xiaoguang grabbed Zhou Bingyi's wrist. It was obvious that he wanted the boss to come forward to resolve the crisis.
Zhou Bingyi doesn’t want to?
He thought that he cared about his reputation more than anyone else. The second child and the third child had a fight at his father's funeral. If word spread, he couldn't afford to embarrass that person, but he knew very well that Zhou Bingkun's dog-like temper would arouse anxious attention. Even if you hit him, if you really want to be beaten to the ground, that would be even more humiliating than having someone point fingers behind your back.
"Bingkun."
A female voice came from behind.
It was Zheng Juan who walked in.
The tension on Zhou Bingyi's face eased.
"What's going on? Didn't you agree that you can wait until dad's funeral is over to talk about anything?" She went out to buy burning paper. She didn't know what happened just now, but one thing is for sure, from the moment she left Shenzhen, His husband was very unhappy with Zhou Rong.
At this time Li Suhua also spoke: "Kun'er, I beg you, please don't embarrass your sister."
"snort."
Lin Yue snorted and let go of the hand holding Zhou Rong's hair: "Get out!"
Zhou Rong glanced at Feng Yue, her expression even more unbearable. Just when she was about to retort, Cai Xiaoguang quickly blocked her mouth and dragged her into the courtyard very arrogantly.
The neighbors were embarrassed because a brother and sister got into a fight at their father's funeral... Anyway, it was quite embarrassing.
"I still have to cook for the old man, so I need to go first."
Qiao Chunyan'er's mother, Shen Hongzhi, had suffered from Lin Yue before. When she saw Zhou Rong's experience, she was afraid of being cheated if she said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly wiped the soles of her feet and escaped.
As soon as she left, everyone else also found excuses to leave. Even Sun Qunchao looked at Lin Yue and sighed, shook his head, and took his wife home.
It was now clear, with only six people left: Zhou Bingyi, Lin Yue, Zheng Juan, Congcong, Yueyue, and Li Suhua.
"Look what you did, you scared the neighbors away."
Zhou Bingyi endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back. Although Zhou Rong did something wrong, it was even more excessive for his brother to slap her in front of all the neighbors. White things are different from red things. The more people come, it means that this The better the family connections are, now that there is such a commotion, others will be embarrassed to stay. Not only that, but people like Shen Hongzhi don’t know how they will spread gossip about the second eldest child and the third eldest son of the Zhou family when they go back. .
Lin Yue laughed when he heard this.
His smile made Zhou Bengyi's scalp tingle, because based on past experiences, his brother would not have anything nice to say next.
"The neighbors left as soon as they left. Have you ever seen a neighbor who always accompanied the vigil, but you, my good brother, actually asked your wife to go to the hospital to work at this time. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. She has weddings and funerals. You can be absent from everything, so why do you have to make irresponsible remarks and point fingers when the neighbors don’t come? You also said that Hao Dongmei’s mother will not be allowed to come for the funeral tomorrow. Oh, Hao Dongmei’s father was gone, and the old man couldn’t come back in Chongqing. Come on, Mom has just woken up not long ago, and she is still a little confused. Zheng Juan said that she should go to express her condolences. You didn’t let her go because you thought it was embarrassing. Now it’s the turn of the old Zhou family. If you don’t let Jin Yueji come, this family of relatives doesn’t exist. Well, since it doesn’t exist, let me ask you, do you want to be the eldest son of the old Zhou family, or do you want to be the door-to-door son-in-law of the Hao family? Even if you are a door-to-door son-in-law, you are not like you, right? "
Zhou Bingyi's face turned pale at these words, but he didn't know what to say.
Lin Yue continued: "Next time you reprimand me, first examine whether you, the elder brother, have set an example."
Zhou Rong shirks her responsibilities as soon as she returns home; Zhou Bingyi puts himself between the Hao family and the Zhou family. His son has not fulfilled much of his obligations, but his son-in-law has done a remarkable job.
"Zhou Rong blamed me for not educating the child well. At least the old man is gone. Congcong and Yueyue put aside their studies and rushed back, thinking of seeing him one last time. Zheng Juan was the one who bought incense and paper to pay tribute to him at the funeral. What about you? What did you do again? "
If there are people here who don't know the situation of old Zhou's family, they will definitely think that he is the eldest brother and Zhou Bingyi is a hen-pecked coward.
"Bingkun, stop talking. No one will feel good without dad, so don't take your anger out on eldest brother." When Zheng Juan saw that the eldest brother couldn't get off the stage, she quickly stepped forward to break up the fight, and nuzzled at Li Suhua, meaning For mom's sake, don't worry about it so much.
Of course, Lin Yue was not emotional because of Zhou Zhigang's death. He just felt that Zhou Bingyi's son was given to him for free and he would be able to provide for him until the end of his life. Not to mention whether he had done enough in the matter of providing for the elderly. The eldest daughter-in-law still went to work at the time of his death, so the hospital would Isn't it so inhumane to not even grant bereavement leave?
At this time, the old lady spoke: "Kun'er, I'm hungry. Go and make a bowl of noodles for Mom. I haven't eaten your food for a long time."
Li Suhua hadn't eaten much since yesterday, and now he was asked to cook, no matter whether it was to distract him to ease the conflict between the two brothers, or he was really hungry. In short, the old lady opened her mouth, and he had no reason not to do it.
"Or fried noodles?"
“The noodles are delicious.”
After receiving this reply, Lin Yue went outside to start a fire, and Zheng Juan hurried to stop it.
Zhou Bingyi looked at Li Suhua, feeling very embarrassed.
When a funeral turned into such a mess, it seemed that Zhou Bingkun was the culprit, but after a quarrel, it turned out to be his and Zhou Rong's fault.
"Uncle, do you want some water?"
Feng Yue entered the room to chat with Zheng Juan's eyes, which was regarded as giving Zhou Bingyi a step down.
"okay."
Zhou Bingyi took a sip of water from the cup handed to him by his niece, and his expression improved.
Lin Yue used the things at home to make several bowls of fried noodles. The old lady was really hungry and ate a whole bowl. According to her wish, she wanted to have another half bowl. Zheng Juan was afraid that she would not be able to hold it, and Yueyue also After eating a lot, she also said that the fried sauce made by Liubiju in Beijing was not as delicious as his. Congcong said that it was because she hadn't eaten it in several years.
Zhou Bingyi didn't move his chopsticks because he was so angry that he drank two cups of tea and went to Old Liu's house next door to discuss the funeral tomorrow.
Zhou Rong never came back after leaving. Qiao Chunyan came in the evening. Balabala said a lot. The main meaning was that Cao Debao's cerebral hemorrhage was not cured yet. The doctor told him to avoid being emotional and to do some rehabilitation training, so she didn't have time. Come here to help with the arrangements, I hope my godmother and godbrother won’t blame her.
Lin Yue heard about Cao Debao from Sun Xiaoning, and thought that this guy had received retribution. He was narrow-minded and jealous of others, so he was naturally easily hurt by anger.
As for whether Qiao Chunyan came to explain sincerely, or whether she had some thoughts about him, the vice president of Shencheng Group, and didn't want to leave a bad impression on him, only she knew.
In the evening, Cai Xiaoguang came to Guangzi Film alone, talked to Zhou Bingyi, and said a few words to Li Suhua, then left.
According to his intention, Zhou Rong was not allowed to come over. He wanted to show up at the funeral tomorrow, so as not to conflict with the third child again and make the whole family unable to get off stage. Naturally, Li Suhua and Zhou Bingyi would not have any objections. Lin Yue scolded her. She was scolded and beaten, but out of sight and out of mind, I didn't bother to be familiar with her.
Cai Xiaoguang left, and Congcong started fighting with Yue Yue. Because this boy asked his sister, even a teacher has a thin face. If her mother humiliated her father and went back to hang herself, would she go? Crying mother at wake.
Zhou Bingyi felt that this boy's mouth was as poisonous as his father's.
That night.
Zheng Juan and Yue Yue fell asleep in the partition of the main room, and Zhou Bingyi couldn't hold on anymore. He leaned against the wall and squinted, snoring every now and then.
Congcong covered himself with a blanket and went to meet Duke Zhou.
Li Suhua lifted the quilt and came down, looked at her eldest son, then at her little grandson, and went straight outside.
As October approached, the weather in the Northeast turned cooler. She took a look at Zhou Zhigang's photo and stepped forward.
"Mom, what are you doing up so late?" a voice came from behind.
Li Suhua turned around and saw her youngest son squatting outside the fence and smoking.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I am not sleepy."
"You didn't sleep last night, how could you not be sleepy?"
"If I said the reason why I didn't sleep was to keep an eye on you, would you believe it?"
"..."
Li Suhua didn't know what to say.
Lin Yue said: "Did you hear the old man calling you again?"
"..."
"Don't pay attention to him. I'm not afraid of him when he's alive. I can calm him down even more when he's dead."
"How can you talk to this kid? He is your father."
"If he dares to take you away, then I will lift the boards off his coffin."
Li Suhua slapped him: "Don't be too harsh on your brother and sister."
Lin Yue looked at her and said half-seriously: "Then you have to live a few more years. As long as you are alive, this family will not be separated. If you die like the old man, then I will be stupid."
Li Suhua slapped him again, but she probably understood what he wanted to express: "Mom just feels that the room is too stuffy. Come out for a look. You think it's weird. Your dad pinches you as soon as he meets you. This It’s up to you to be honest about keeping vigil.”
Lin Yuexin said: Am I guarding him? I am guarding you.
"When this is over, you can go to Shenzhen with me."
"Why are you going to Shenzhen? Mom has been in the Northeast her whole life and she can't get used to living in the South."
"Then who do you want to take care of you? Brother? Hao Dongmei's mother is also old, and he is busy at work, so he has no time to take care of you. Zhou Rong? You can live with her for ten and a half months. After a long time, she will only take care of you. You are treated as a burden.”
"Mom isn't going anywhere, she's just in the photo studio."
"Okay, then I'll ask Zheng Juan to come back and take care of you. It just so happens that Congcong is also in high school. It's easy to get into college in Northeast China."
"Then you won't let him go abroad?"
"Don't worry. With your son's current ability, he can go whenever he wants. It doesn't matter which prestigious school he wants to attend."
"See what you can do."
The old lady smiled happily: "Oh, you think it would be great if this old man didn't fight with you. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Why are you so indifferent?"
Lin Yue took a look at Zhou Zhigang's photo, thinking that if he hadn't screwed with me, Zhou Rong would have been mad to death.
"Go back inside, it's cold outside."
Li Suhua didn't say anything, but followed him back into the house and continued to sleep on the kang. Zhou Bingyi woke up to the sound of Lin Yue's footsteps, opened his eyes suddenly, and called "Mom."
"You sleep in your bed. Mom just went out to get some air. Bingkun is with her."
Zhou Bingyi nodded, leaned back and continued to sleep. After all, he was also a Benwu person. He always drank and socialized and it hurt his health. This night... he couldn't stand it anymore.
The third day is the funeral day.
Yesterday, the fight between the third youngest of the Zhou family and the second oldest, Zhou Rong, spread quickly in Guangzi Film. In addition to Sun Qunchao, Xiao Guoqing, Wu Qian, Yu Hong, Sun Xiaoning and other people who have a good relationship with the Zhou family, they came to support them. , many people who were uncomfortable with yesterday's scene simply stopped coming, so it seemed a bit deserted.
Hao Dongmei went to the hospital to sign in and then came back. Seeing the scene in front of her, she was puzzled. She took her husband's hand and asked, "What's going on? Where is Zhou Rong? Didn't she come back yesterday?"
The day Zhou Zhigang died, she heard Zhou Bingyi discussing various funeral procedures with the elderly nearby. She knew that today was the day when the neighbors came to express their condolences, but now... there were only two or three big cats and kittens who were close to each other before. Only.
Zhou Bingyi said: "What's going on? Ask Bingkun."
