Wen Dai urgently called Qi Xixing and Qi Yao back home that night.
The family had dinner peacefully.
After a while, the old man returned to the suite as usual.
Wen Dai recounted what happened that day, then looked at her husband and son. "Can you just go there? It's so dangerous! And you're even going to buy land and dig deep. Will the government sell it to you? Would the families of the other victims agree to your digging?"
Those people have been buried and are sleeping peacefully in the ground. Why bother disturbing them?
If we can really dig out my mother and elder brother, it would be worth it, but in the process of digging, we will definitely find a lot of unidentifiable skeletons. What should we do with so many skeletons?
Those are the loved ones that others miss day and night. We can’t just deal with them casually, and we don’t have the power to move them! If this gets out of hand, it won’t be a small matter!”
Wendy chattered on and on.
She was really worried.
This old man really does something new every day.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let him retire so early. He just keeps looking for trouble when he has free time!
Qi Xixing's face was solemn, and he glanced at Wen Dai cautiously: "Actually, when my mother and eldest brother were first buried, I wanted to go over and dig them out. Now, after so many years, this idea still lingers in my mind."
Wen Dai: “…”
Qi Xixing: "My mom wears the same watch as my dad, and my eldest brother also wears a limited edition watch. I recognize them all.
Over the years, I have always worried that I might dig them up but not be able to recognize them, because after they died, both of their watches might have been taken away.
I once saw a picture online. It showed that during an earthquake, some living people were searching for things among the dead. Some people wore seven or eight gold rings on one hand, and some wore five or six watches on one hand.
So I've been keeping an eye on major auction houses, luxury websites, and luxury stores. I've been keeping an eye on it, thinking that if someone has it, they'll definitely sell it, but I haven't found it yet."
Wen Dai: “…”
Qi Yao, who had been silent the whole time, said softly, "I don't think the matter is that complicated. It's just that Grandpa misses Grandma and Uncle. From the time of the incident until now, only Dad has visited them once, and Grandpa hasn't dared to go yet."
Do you think why grandpa didn’t dare to go at that time?
One is the guilt, grief, and inability to face it.
Second, he couldn't leave. I was just born, and my father had been living under the protection of my uncle, eating, drinking and having fun. He didn't understand business and management. Zhenglan Group suddenly lost an outstanding heir and was in a period of transition, so it was not particularly stable.
The dead are gone, but there are still living people who have to continue living. If my grandfather had been unable to recover at that time, the Zhenglan Group might not still exist now, and the dowry that my great-grandfather and great-grandmother left for my grandmother, which was this Lan Palace, might not have been able to be defended.
You always think that grandpa is heartless, but I think grandpa is the one who has the hardest time.
He had an argument with his grandmother at that time, but what couple hasn’t had an argument?
Sometimes when my dad drinks too much, my mom would scold him and ask if he was looking for death, and tell him to get out the next time he drinks.
But my dad never ran away from home!
And even if my dad wanted to run away from home, as his son, I would definitely persuade him and would definitely not run away with him. After all, I cannot affect my parents' marriage.
My grandfather certainly didn't expect them to leave at that time.
I never expected that they would go to Wenchuan.
But at this point, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his blood, turning all his grief into strength to shoulder the responsibility of a family. I really feel that it was not easy for grandpa..."
"Wait, Xiaoyao, what did you just say?" Qi Xixing suddenly looked at Qi Yao seriously.
Qi Yao: "Grandpa has it hard."
Qi Xixing: "Before... you said that when a couple quarrels, they won't just leave. If the son knew, he should try to reconcile instead of trying to separate them, let alone accompany them?"
Qi Yao: “…”
Wen Dai: “…”
It seems that this is the truth.
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, as if they had discovered something wrong!
Wen Dai took a deep breath. "What do you think? Mom and Big Brother left so suddenly. Could it be that they didn't run away from home at all? But that something important happened and they had to rush over immediately without even saying goodbye?"
Qi Xixing also said: "My mom and my dad have been together all their lives, she knows my dad's temper too well, and my dad is a soldier, sometimes when he gets angry he will jump up and down and curse at people, every time my mom encounters this kind of situation, she will turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.
She was virtuous, gentle, and well-educated. She would always watch my dad jump around and lose his temper quietly, like a noble lady watching a monkey show. The contrast between the stillness and the movement was clear. Gradually, my dad realized that he was acting like a clown, so he would take the initiative to restrain his temper and stop making trouble.
Besides, Lan Palace was my mother's dowry, so why did she run away from home?
She is very confident. If she is unhappy, she can ask someone to kick my dad out!
My eldest brother is also very kind. He would only try to reconcile, not to separate, and certainly not to run away with my mom!"
Wen Dai just felt a chill on her back!
She subconsciously hid beside Qi Xixing and took his arm: "I'm doubtful about this matter. Should we discuss it with Dad tomorrow?"
Qi Yao stood up: "Let's discuss it now, why wait until tomorrow? Can you sleep tonight?"
Qi Xixing and his wife followed closely behind, and the three of them went to find Qi Zheng together.
In the suite.
Qi Zheng was lying on the big bed, looking at the necklace Qi Yao gave him.
There is a family photo in the necklace.
And his wife and eldest son.
Although the portrait was photoshopped or laser-projected and was small, he had touched and looked at it countless times.
He really likes this gift from his grandson.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.
Then, there was a knock on the door: "Dad! Are you asleep? We have something important to tell you."
Qi Zheng quickly put the photo away and wiped his moist eyes: "Come in!"
Qi Xixing opened the door.
The three of them went in and sat around Qi Zheng.
Qi Xixing: "Xiaoyao, speak!"
Qi Yao said, "Grandpa, just now my parents and I were discussing whether or not to go to Wenchuan to dig the ground, and then..."
He was clear and organized, and quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter.
Qi Zheng listened silently, his eyes originally filled with a hint of loneliness, but the more he listened, the brighter and brighter they became!
Yes, it is not normal for a wife to run away with her eldest son!
Qi Zheng clenched his fists: "Investigate! Investigate strictly!"
Wen Dai was worried: "It's been sixteen or seventeen years. Is it still possible to find out?"
Qi Yao said loudly: "Let's check it first! Only after checking it will we know whether we can find it!"
