The second time I saw Wu Yuewei off at the West Lake Airport. The difference is that this time it is not heavy. The last time she left Xu Tingsheng, Wu Yuewei exhausted all her strength, this time she could smile and wave.
This difference is not so much due to changes in the state of affairs and the effect of time, but rather due to Wu Yuewei's own growth. During the two years in Qingbei, the girl's enviable wisdom in studies and other aspects finally began to slowly affect her attitude towards relationships.
This may be similar to her mentality after studying for graduate school in her previous life. Some things are kept, and she does not force herself to forget, but she does not force herself anymore.
On the return trip, sitting in the car, Xu Tingsheng was not used to sitting in the back seat like a boss or leader. He sat in the co-pilot seat and watched Du Jiang, I feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Du, don't laugh." Xu Tingsheng said guiltily.
"I didn't laugh." Du Jiang said he didn't laugh, but said with a smile.
"Actually, we all know the rules when we do this. We will never tell anyone about this kind of thing. Don't worry, even if your parents ask me, I won't tell you. Du Jin also said that she met The employer messed around in the car, after all, she is a woman, and she resigned from that job because of this, and then came to our house." Du Jiang also seemed to find that his posture was a bit wrong, and then made it up again. One sentence.
"Didn't she tell you then? And if you give me an example like this, I'm fine, but I acted like something really happened." Xu Tingsheng murmured in his heart.
After thinking about it, it seems that there is no need to explain and argue about this matter. Xu Tingsheng let out an "um" and did not speak again.
The car got off the elevated road and turned towards the First Hospital of West Lake City.
Leaving Du Jiang outside the door, Xu Tingsheng knocked on the door of the inner ward directly because he had no time to pay attention to the ashen-faced "walking corpses" outside.
Fang Cheng opened the door. When Xu Tingsheng entered the door and looked up, the old man on the hospital bed seemed to have fallen asleep. Only the official channels and instruments all over his body could prove that he was still alive.
"How is the old man?" Xu Tingsheng asked expectantly. The old man is so tough, he believes and hopes that he is still tough, so that he has someone to talk to.
Fang Chengzai closed the door carefully, and looked at Xu Tingsheng helplessly with his eyes, "I still wake up occasionally, but only my eyes can move and blink. I can't speak, and the rest can't do it."
Xu Tingsheng was silent for a while. At this moment, he actually felt a sense of helplessness... So far, this matter seems to have finally fallen on his shoulders.
"Does the old man have anything to say?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
"No." Fang Cheng replied.
"Damn it... old rascal." Xu Tingsheng turned his head to stare at the old man on the bed, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly for a while. What does it mean that the old man didn't keep any confession? It's very simple, it means that everything depends on Xu Tingsheng.
Fang Cheng was surprised, and said slightly angrily, "You... scolding grandpa?"
"Yeah. It's too bad, I couldn't hold back just now."
"you… "
"I'm done scolding, I'll get to work." Xu Tingsheng turned around and went out.
Fang Cheng followed behind him.
Outside, a house full of women and children. In fact, people like Fang Zhong shouldn't be considered children at all, they are older than Xu Tingsheng, but their state and performance in the whole incident may not even be as good as children.
"Well, what should we do now? The second brother and his brothers and sisters are all inside, and the safety of the children..." The second daughter-in-law of the Fang family stood up and asked with blank eyes. She leaned on the back of the chair with one hand, and her figure was precarious.
It doesn't feel good to be stared at by such eyes. In front of him was a helpless wife and mother, but Xu Tingsheng couldn't give her any response. He can't promise anything, let alone tell the truth, and he can't say: You have already been abandoned.
All the second generation of the Fang family, plus part of the third generation, will be abandoned or even sacrificed to arouse the compassion of the person above. The road—the way to survive, is also the way for the Fang family to revive.
What Xu Tingsheng was asked to do was to keep the three "seeds", and to find a way to make the matter so that the one above couldn't ignore it.
"I… "
"What's the use of asking him?" Fang Zhong on the side suddenly stood up and snarled, pointing at Xu Tingsheng, "Do you see what he has done? He is not the Fang family. Even if our Fang family is dead, there is nothing to do with him." What's the matter? The old man is confused, are you also confused?"
Two days earlier, he would have received a slap in the face for saying this, but now, it is clear that most of the people present agree with him.
At this moment, not only the immediate family members of the Fang family were present at the scene, but some of the sidelines who were too close to the Fang family also began to be implicated during this period, and entered a lot. And the only thing their wives and children could think of was to come to the Fang family.
"Cousin, don't get excited." Fang Cheng persuaded from the side.
"I'm not excited? It's okay if I lose face, I'm about to lose my life, why don't you want me to be excited?" Fang Zhong said, stepping one leg on the chair, rolling up his trousers, there was a bruise the size of a palm on it, "I was almost killed in a car accident yesterday. They just wanted to drive our Fang family away."
"What's going on?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
"My brother just walked out of the hospital gate yesterday, when a car rushed past him at a very fast speed, took him, and pushed him into the opposite lane next to him. If it wasn't for my brother's quick reaction, he would have rolled aside immediately, He...he's going to get run over by a car coming the other way."
It was Fang Ying who spoke.
"I was watching from the side at the time. The car obviously turned the steering wheel when it was driving to my brother, and deliberately turned to bring him to him. And the driver didn't even get out of the car to check..."
"It's just murder. They're... going to do the rest of us."
"A few days ago, when my brother and I were outside, someone quarreled with my brother. Not only did they fight, but they also said... that there was no one left in our Fang family. We had no children... no grandchildren."
This incident was beyond Xu Tingsheng's original judgment on the Ling and Xiao families. They actually used "regular channels" to deal with the second generation of the Fang family, and at most they only magnified the problem. That being said, it's more like... murder.
Are Ling and Xiao going to extremes
"Then what are you going to do? Talk about it." Xu Tingsheng asked at a moment's bewilderment.
"My brother and I have discussed it, and we want to go back to the United States." Fang Ying said.
"It's useless to stay..." Fang Zhong added.
"Going abroad..." Xu Tingsheng pondered.
The second daughter-in-law of the Fang family leaned over and said in a low voice, "Well, we think so too. I think, sending the children abroad, we can't be provoked, we hide... In the current situation, this may be the last way. "
Xu Tingsheng looked around at the group of women and children in the room... It's useless to stay, it's dangerous... Perhaps the only way left is to seek refuge abroad.
"That's right..." the second daughter-in-law of the Fang family continued, "Now that there are so many things going on at home, I'm worried that the children's visas will be difficult to handle. Now our family can't find anyone to help. Well, can you help me?" ?”
"All going abroad?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
"Yeah. The kids are going out, I'll stay." said the Fang family's second daughter-in-law.
"I do not go."
"I do not go."
It was Fang Cheng and Fang Yuqing who spoke.
"You have to go too," the woman said resolutely, "cousins, cousins, cousins, so many children, I depend on you two to take care of them." When she said this, she deliberately didn't look at Fang Zhong and Fang Zhong. Sakura's reaction.
"If you two are really unwilling, come back in a few years." She added. There was pleading in his tone.
"So many people go out, what do you rely on for a living?" After Fang Zhong finished the first sentence, his face recovered after a brief moment of embarrassment, and continued, "I mean, Fang Ying and I are still in graduate school, and haven't graduated yet... the burden is not enough. At home, my dad's money should have been frozen, and they can't get it out... unless the old man... "
"You don't need to worry about this." The second daughter-in-law of the Fang family interrupted.
"That's good, then I won't give up my studies. I originally planned to stop studying for my younger brothers and sisters, and go out to find a job..." Fang Zhong seemed to be explaining, but everyone could see that it was just cover up.
The rest of the eyes were on Xu Tingsheng.
Xu Tingsheng took a deep breath. This may not be in line with the old man's original layout and plan, but to a certain extent, it may actually save more people, and it can also help him take off the burden on his shoulders as soon as possible and end this matter. ; and... fact, is there any other way to go
"Then let's discuss it among you guys. If it's finalized, I'll find a way to apply for a visa." Xu Tingsheng left the room directly after speaking.
There was some inexplicable uneasiness in his mind, but he couldn't find any traceable clues. Xu Tingsheng went out and pulled Du Jiang to the balcony of the connecting part of the two inpatient buildings, and lit a cigarette.
The phone rings.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the call came from Ling Xiao.
"Hey, miss me?" Xu Tingsheng pretended to be relaxed.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and the voice that followed was somewhat depressed and embarrassed, "Xu Tingsheng, if I were Ling Xiaoqing now... I mean, Ling Xiao wouldn't say the following words, only Ling Xiaoqing would. You... understand? ?”
"Okay. Ling Xiaoqing."
"I, I, Ling Xiaoqing want to tell you, can you stay away from the Fang family now? I, I beg you, please, stay away from the Fang family..."
The voice on the other end of the phone was eager, even slightly crying... Then it stopped abruptly.
A busy tone came from the handset after the phone was disconnected.
"Why can't Ling Xiao say it, but Ling Xiaoqing will persuade me to stay away from the Fang family?" Combining the tone and state of her words just now, it is not difficult for Xu Tingsheng to come to the conclusion: the Ling and Xiao families are really going to extremes, and the Fang family Three generations started. She worried that I would be implicated.
"So, go abroad?... Go abroad."
