Chapter 108 Tracking
Wen Zhu did not directly ask Jiang Jianye why he did not tell the truth, but changed the subject in a relaxed tone.
"That's because they have no vision. My third brother is such a kind and smart little brother. They would be so sad if they missed him! And who said you have no friends? I am the third brother's best friend!"
Jiang Jianye curled his lips and looked at Wen Zhu, "Yes, I have a good friend, my sister. My best friend."
Wen Zhu didn't press the issue any further because she knew her third brother too well and he wouldn't tell her even if she asked.
His brain has its own set of thinking patterns, and he will use his own logic to speculate the possible consequences of telling the truth. If the consequences are different from his expectations or not what he likes, then he will choose to keep silent, cover up the matter or choose to forget it.
Once when he was a child, he was beaten by a child of the same age in the village. Even though he saw the injury, he still kept silent about the beating.
Later, we found the team leader and the branch secretary and went to the family to confront them face to face. We found out that the child had threatened his third brother that if he dared to go back and complain, he would beat his sister, Wen Zhu, while he was in school.
Jiang Jianye felt that with his parents both working and his three brothers in school, there was no one to look after his four-year-old sister full-time. To protect his sister from being beaten, he chose to keep the bullying to himself and kept it to himself.
Finally, they went to the boy's house and made a scene, and the boy apologized. But the third brother was still obsessed with whether the boy would beat his sister.
He didn't react strongly to being bullied, seemingly unconcerned. It was then that his family realized Jiang Jianye's perception of the outside world was much weaker than that of ordinary people, and he was more concerned with his own inner thoughts.
Since then, his family members have paid more attention to him, and over the years, almost no one has bullied him anymore.
Especially since the eldest and second brothers are both smart and powerful, anyone who wants to bully the third brother would have been beaten secretly long ago, and the third brother would never be bullied.
But a few years ago, my eldest brother went to college, and the fare was expensive, so he couldn't come home often. My second brother went to the army and hasn't been home for several years either.
Could it be that there is another blind person coming to bully his poor third brother?
An idea suddenly flashed through Wen Zhu's mind, but before he could catch it, it slipped away again.
friend.
He was overly sensitive to this word. Was it because no one wanted to be his friend? Was he too lonely?
Wen Zhu quickly rejected this idea. After all, his third brother had never had many friends, and it was fine over the years.
Unable to figure it out, he could only change the subject to divert Jiang Jianye's attention and make him less nervous.
"By the way, Third Brother, which university do you want to apply to?"
"Beijing University of Technology." (fictional)
Wen Zhu knew his third brother's obsession with missile and rocket research, so his choice was not surprising.
The brother and sister chatted for a long time. Jiang Jianye's answers were brief but not unusual.
He still sticks to what he loves and has no problems with his studies.
The problem is the "friend". I just don't know who is the "friend" who can make San Ge lie?
Jiang Qin was picking potatoes nearby, listening to the two children's conversation. She also keenly noticed that her youngest son was acting strangely. She felt guilty.
Recently, I always feel that my child is older now, so I don’t need to pay too much attention to him. He can handle the problems on his own.
But she had been busy setting up the stall recently and had indeed neglected to care for the third child. His normal appearance made her almost forget that this child was different from the others.
The mother and daughter discussed it in the evening, and Jiang Qin planned to set up the stall only for lunch the next day.
After school, Wen Zhu followed his mother's agreement and hurried home to reunite with her without delay. Then, they went to wait for his third brother.
Let’s see what’s happened to the third brother recently.
Wen Zhu and Jiang Qin ran into Qian Jingsheng as soon as they went out.
"Are you planning to pick up Jiang Jianye? We can go with you if necessary."
Wen Zhu glanced at his shoulder and said, "Your bones haven't grown back yet. I appreciate your kindness. If you really want to help, then let Qian Xusen come with us."
Qian Jingsheng said, "I'm fine."
Wen Zhu: "Are you the doctor or am I the doctor? Take good care of yourself at home and don't go out and about. If you are really worried, let Comrade Xiao Huang go with us. I wonder if he is free?"
Qian Xusen replied, "I'm free."
Then Jiang Qin, Wen Zhu, Xiao Huang and Qian Xusen went to a hidden location near the high school and waited.
There were exactly four people, and each of them found a corner and squatted there.
They calculated the time and arrived a little early, so they didn't have to wait long before they saw the day students coming out of the high school gate one after another.
Jiang Jianye followed a few big boys and walked towards the direction where Jiang Qin was waiting.
The others also followed quietly under the cover of night.
The last few people hid far away and observed the situation.
After Jiang Jianye was taken into the alley, several boys pushed him into the corner.
Verbally insulting him.
"Hey, isn't this Jiang, the girl from our school who loves to ask questions the most? What brings you into this alley alone? Are you ready to lick our shoes?"
Jiang Jianye lowered his head, his hair a little long on his forehead obscuring his vision. It was dark, so only the flashlights in the hands of the boys were on, all pointed at Jiang Jianye.
He subconsciously covered his eyes to block out the bright light.
"What on earth do you want? It's okay, I want to go home."
The leader had a look of disdain on his face. "Go home? Go home to what? Have you answered my question? You want to leave?"
Then he grabbed Jiang Jianye by the collar and said, "Say sorry, and I'll let you go."
Jiang Jianye apologized immediately without hesitation, "I'm sorry."
To him, it didn't matter who was right or wrong. He just apologized. Even though he didn't know where he was wrong.
But it was time for him to go home.
He had promised his sister yesterday that he would go home immediately after self-study. He didn't want to break his promise.
Unexpectedly, before he could even say "I'm sorry", a little brother kicked him in the knee. His knee was suddenly under pressure and he couldn't control himself and fell forward on one knee.
The mother and daughter who were hiding in the dark were heartbroken when they saw this.
Several people rushed out tacitly.
"Public Security!" Qian Xusen shouted, diverting the attention of those people.
Several older boys were frightened and wanted to slip away in the dark.
Jiang Jianye's eyes were covered by his hair, and there was no fear in them at all, just a little pity.
Qian Xusen is here, so is his sister here too? His eyes flickered.
He put the thing in his hand back into his pocket.
