Chapter 769 [(*^▽^*)]
There was nothing he could do; he couldn't get off the bus to look for her. Even if he knew which stop Lin Leyou got off at, how much time had passed?
If we go looking for them now, will they still be there?
Lin Leyou must have already run away. He has several thousand yuan in his hands, how could he not escape? With so much money for travel expenses, he can go anywhere in the country.
There's nothing I can do but go back now. Anyway, I'm just the second uncle, not a prison guard. If this person wants to run away, he'll definitely try every means to escape. I can stop him for a while, but can I stop him forever?
After paying the fare, Lin Leyou got off the train. In front of him was a train station he had never seen before, but which seemed somewhat familiar. He followed the flow of people into the ticket hall.
It wasn't a holiday, so there weren't many people. He wandered around inside and suddenly overheard a pair of brothers talking as they passed by.
"I heard that a lot of new factories have been built in H City, with meals and accommodation provided. My fellow villagers said that the wages and benefits are quite good. How about I go there and take a look? It's not far anyway."
"Okay, let's go over there and take a look. Food and lodging are all included."
Upon hearing about H City, Lin Leyou suddenly felt a strong urge to go there!
He then followed the two brothers in front of him, queued up together, bought tickets together, and then boarded the train together to H City.
When Lin Jiashu returned home, he kept a few hundred yuan of his salary for himself and gave the rest to his wife. Then his wife asked, "Why is it just you? Where's Xiaoyou?"
Lin Jiasen waved his hand, "It ran away halfway."
"What? They ran away? Then... what do we do?"
Lin Jiasen: "What do you mean, what should I do? What does this have to do with me? This child has hands and feet; if he wants to run, can I catch him and stop him?"
"Then...how do you explain that over there?"
Lin Jiasen was also a little embarrassed, "Well... I don't know either, but I still have to say it."
"Won't they blame you for not keeping a close eye on Xiaoyou?"
Lin Jiasen said, "It's strange, but what can we do? Do you think I can just pull someone out of my pocket and give them to them? Besides... if that kid spends all his money outside, he'll definitely come back. Where can a kid find a job to earn money? I don't want him to end up as a hoodlum."
"Then...should I go and talk to them?"
Lin Jiasen stopped her, "Where are you going? Do you think I'm a grown man? I'll go! You cook first, boil some water, and I'll come to take a shower and eat later."
"Okay, then go ahead."
Lin Jiasen got up and left, riding his somewhat dilapidated motorcycle to the front of Lin Jiashu's house, where he parked the motorcycle in an open space.
Just then, Zhou Meijuan heard the noise and came out. She was about to greet him when she saw that he was all alone. "Hey, Jiasen, why are you all alone?"
Lin Jiasen went inside. "Is my brother home?"
Zhou Meijuan: "He's here, inside. I'll go find him and get him out."
She had a bad feeling, and sure enough, after Lin Jiashu came out, she learned that Lin Leyou had run away!
"What did you say?!"
Lin Jiasen said, "When this child came back, he took the money and his ID card and ran away. He has been very well-behaved for the past month. He does his work when he is supposed to and sleeps when he is supposed to. He never complains about being tired or says he wants to leave. He is very obedient!"
"Who knew that on the way back they would reveal their true colors and run away. This has nothing to do with me. I was exhausted and accidentally fell asleep in the car. I didn't expect that when I woke up I would be gone."
Lin Jiashu wasn't as angry as he had imagined. He had even considered this possibility, but he thought Lin Leyou would at least send money home for a few months before leaving. However, he didn't expect him to run away so quickly.
"Brother, what are you planning to do now?"
Lin Jiashu appeared quite calm. "Ignore him."
Lin Jiasen was stunned. "You really don't care?"
Lin Jiashu glanced at him. "Then tell me, how should I manage this?"
Lin Jiasen thought for a moment. A phone call wouldn't work; Lin Leyou didn't have one, and even if he did, he wouldn't know his number. Should he go find him? Who knew where he was right now? Since that was the case, there really wasn't any other way.
Lin Jiashu, "I gave him the secondhand phone I used before, didn't you know?"
Lin Jiasen slapped his thigh, "It seems like there was such a thing. He didn't take it out at the construction site, and I had completely forgotten about it. Now you can call him."
Lin Jiashu took out his newly bought mobile phone, the latest touchscreen model, which was quite expensive, but they could still afford it.
When I called, Lin Leyou was on the train.
He heard his phone vibrate, and initially didn't intend to pay attention, but soon he realized that it was his backpack, which he was holding, vibrating.
Only then did he belatedly realize that there was a cell phone in one corner of his schoolbag, a broken and old phone. He took it out and looked at the caller ID; it was Lin Jiashu.
He knew he would definitely call.
His reason told him to answer the phone, but his body remained still, his eyes fixed on the phone until it automatically disconnected.
After his phone stopped vibrating, he came to his senses with some surprise. It felt as if time had stood still. But... why didn't he want to answer the phone?
Should we fight back now?
Lin Leyou held his phone for a long time, but didn't receive a second call. For some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed. When he wanted to check again, he found that the phone hadn't hung up automatically, but had simply run out of battery and shut down automatically, making it look like it had automatically hung up.
He remained silent for a moment, then put the dead phone into his backpack. He decided to talk about it when they got to H City.
Lin Jiashu looked at his phone and said, "Hang up."
Lin Jiasen said, "It seems that the child has really left, and I don't know when he will come back."
Lin Jiashu took a drag of his cigarette. "Let him go. What can a kid who doesn't know anything do? He'll just come back with his tail between his legs when he runs out of money. Just wait."
The two brothers chatted for a while, but Lin Jiasen was thinking about going back for dinner, so he left quickly. After he had gone far away, Lin Jiashu showed an angry expression and slapped the stool next to him away.
Zhou Meijuan walked over, touching her belly. "What's the use of getting angry now? I was hoping to earn several thousand yuan and go out to buy some good meat and wine today. Now look what happened, I don't have a single penny."
Lin Jiashu: "That brat, if I catch him, I'll break his legs!"
Zhou Meijuan said, "I knew this child wasn't close to us. The two old folks raised him, and they've already let his heart run wild. We can't even catch him. We don't even know if he'll come back."
Lin Jiashu said, "What do you know? How can a little brat who can't do anything live a good life outside? He'll run out of money and come back with his tail between his legs. Then we'll beat him up and make Jiasen take him to work."
Zhou Meijuan sighed, "Are we still going to buy meat?"
She still craves meat. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, her appetite has become incredibly good, and she really wants to eat it. "It's not that I want to eat it. I didn't crave it before. It's because I'm pregnant that I crave it, and the baby wants to eat it."
Lin Jiashu said, "Go buy it. We still have money at home, it's not a big deal."
Zhou Meijuan happily took the money and went out to buy meat, and also bought some wine for him to drink.
Lin Leyou was completely unaware of this. After arriving at the station, he followed the others to the outside of the train station. Outside the train station was a wide and clean main road, and the nearby houses were also very clean and beautiful.
He also smelled the delicious aroma of food, rubbed his stomach, and said, "I'm so hungry, I'll buy something to eat first."
He didn't go to buy food, as the food here was a bit expensive. He just bought two steamed buns and soy milk, and ate as he walked, wondering where to go next.
As he walked, time seemed to speed up without him realizing it. When he came to his senses, he found that he had finished eating what he had bought. He casually threw the trash into a roadside bin and continued walking.
He didn't know how long he had walked. When he stopped, he saw the lake in front of him. There was a lot of beautiful greenery around the lake. Of course, what he saw was not the beautiful scenery, but the benches by the lake.
Lin Leyou felt very tired. He even felt that his legs didn't belong to him anymore. He quickly went over and sat down on a chair. The spot he chose was very secluded, in the corner, surrounded by bushes on three sides, completely blocking the view. No one would come over unless there was a special reason.
After he sat down, he relaxed completely, hugged his backpack, and leaned back in his chair. Before long, he felt a little sleepy.
He tried it out and found that the bench was just the right size to lie down on, so he lay down with his backpack facing inwards and quickly fell asleep. He was really tired.
Fortunately, it's August now, and it's still very hot. Even if you sleep outside, you won't catch a cold; in fact, you might even feel a bit hot.
Lin Leyou didn't wake up naturally; he was awakened by some noises. When he opened his eyes, he looked around in confusion. Only after he became fully awake did he realize that he had been sleeping on a bench.
He yawned, sat up, and didn't know what time it was, but it was already dark, the streetlights were on, and there wasn't a single car on the road. It must be the early hours of the morning.
Only then did he notice that the sound that had woken him was coming from the other side of the greenery.
This spot is very secluded; they shouldn't come over. He thought for a moment but didn't make a sound. He then walked behind the bench and hid between the back of the bench and the bushes. He certainly couldn't hide during the day, but it was nighttime, and you really couldn't see him unless you looked closely.
"I raised you all these years, do you still doubt that I would harm you? You are my own son, my eldest son, would I treat you badly?"
The voice sounded like that of a middle-aged man.
I didn't say that.
It was a boy's voice, and the tone sounded as if he were frozen; it was really cold.
"So what do you mean? You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Are you going to complain to the old man again?"
