Chapter 145 The Truth
How could a son truly resent his biological parents?
Wen Zhu felt that her father was the same. He said he didn't want to go, but in the end he got up earlier than anyone else.
Sitting in the living room early in the morning, drinking tea, he saw Wen Zhu and Jiang Jiannan come out. He said immediately.
"I've bought breakfast, come and eat."
Wen Zhu and his elder brother looked at each other, but did not expose his pretended calmness.
Jiang Qin smiled but said nothing.
Jiang Qin brought two canned foods, a bag of sugar, and a can of malted milk.
Wen Hong looked at me with a frown, "What's there to take? I went to take a look, asked a few questions and left, and I still brought things with me. Who knows if they will let me in?"
Jiang Qin ignored him while saying this.
She doesn't know that this man is stubborn and stubborn.
In the end, he obediently took the things from Jiang Qin and carried them.
After breakfast, the family went directly to the old residential quarters of the cotton mill.
Wen Hong knocked on the door.
This was the first time he had knocked on the door here in more than 20 years.
The wife of Director Wu from next door saw them and greeted them.
Without asking any further questions, she just invited me to her house for a while and then closed the door.
This made Wen Hong feel less uncomfortable.
"Here I come."
An old voice answered the door from inside.
After a while, the door opened, and as expected, Wen Zhu saw the old lady he met yesterday.
"Mom, I'm back."
The white-haired old lady opened her mouth but didn't say a word for a long time.
His eyes, which were still clear, were filled with tears after a while, flowing down.
"Son, are you back?"
She wiped away her tears with her hands, then, with a choked voice and trembling hands, she opened the door completely, making way.
"Come in, come in, sit, sit. I'll pour some water. I'll go cook. I'll give you..."
As they were talking, the person with mobility problems was walking around, not knowing what to do for a moment.
In the end, she just hugged Wen Hong and burst into tears.
The old man's voice was heard from the room inside.
"Cuiying, why are you crying? Who's here? Why can I still hear Hongzi's voice? I'm getting old, and my ears are having problems."
Then he groped his way out from inside, holding on to the wall.
Grandma cried so hard that tears welled up in her eyes. Finally, when she saw her husband coming out, she hurried to support him.
"You heard right, he's back."
When the old man heard this, his eyes were covered with gloom and tears streamed down his face.
He reached out his hand and fumbled around in the air, and finally Wen Hong took the initiative to extend his hand.
"dad."
Several people burst into tears.
Wen Hong felt that all worries and grievances should be forgotten.
His young parents are now very old and are no longer as vigorous as they used to be.
Although he would secretly visit every year to see if the two elders were well, this was the first time they had spoken in all these years.
It turns out that some things are not that important, and are so vulnerable in the face of time.
His parents will grow old, and his resentment towards them will fade.
Wen Zhu looked around the house, which was not very big but was kept neatly organized and clean. How could a hardworking and sentimental person do such a thing?
So I am very curious, why did they choose to stand on the side of their adopted son instead of their biological son?
After the old couple finished crying, they gradually calmed down.
Everyone sat down. Wen Hong calmed down and asked questions that he had wanted to ask but had not dared to ask for many years.
"Mom and Dad, why didn't you help me tell the truth back then? I've been thinking about it for twenty years, and I still can't figure it out."
The white-haired old man wiped away his tears and spoke.
"Son, please stop asking. Just think of your father and I as being blinded by greed. Asking too much isn't good for you or your family. We're already very happy that you've come to visit us two old guys once. From now on, please don't have any more contact."
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect to get such an answer.
But it was obvious that they had their own reasons, so how could they give up the truth that was so within their reach?
Wen Hong refused to give up. "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Times have changed now. Those crimes committed back then are no longer guilty, and we are not afraid of him. Now I am back to work in the factory. My position is no worse than his. I will take back everything he took from me."
The old lady was still a little confused, but Wen Zhu took her pulse inadvertently while she was holding his hand.
His face was full of disbelief.
This is a symptom of chronic poisoning!
Actually poisoned the two elders?
Wen Zhu pointed out directly, "You have been poisoned. For many years, grandma, your legs and feet are inconvenient, and grandpa's eyesight is not clear. These are the symptoms that have begun to appear."
Wen Hong's face was full of disbelief, followed by uncontrollable anger.
He slapped the table, and the teacups on it shook a few times before they stabilized, and some water spilled out.
Compared to the shock of Wen Zhu and others, the old couple seemed much calmer, as if they had known about this matter for a long time.
The truth of that year is about to come out.
The old man's eyesight was blurry, but his mind was still clear. Seeing that his wife was speechless, he took over the conversation.
"Hongzi, if your mother won't tell you, I'll tell you. Anyway, I'm an old, blind man who might be buried soon, so I'm not afraid of him. But you guys have to be more careful! Be careful of that black-hearted guy!"
Several people were shocked. Be careful?
Could he possibly harm them?
The old man narrated the story slowly, "The story starts with that person's parents."
"Back then, we were all workers in the cotton mill. His parents both died while fighting a fire in the mill.
Our two families have a good relationship, and we took him in out of pity.
But this child is a thoughtful person. He appears to be amiable and well-behaved on the surface, but in fact he is asking people everywhere about the truth behind his parents' death.
We knew about this as well, and we thought he was old enough and should know what he needed to know, so we didn't stop him.
Who knew that he asked around and found out that we were supposed to be on duty that day, but it was his parents who took over and died in the fire, so he started to hold a grudge against our family.
We only found out about this later.
We explained that his parents wanted to earn an extra day's wages to make their lives easier, and since we happened to be busy, they agreed, and he agreed.
Who knew this kid would keep silent for years and grow to hate us deep down. He even hated our son.
Then he exposed the fact that Hongzi had used Dong to exchange scraps of cloth from the factory for food. We wanted to testify, but he said that he had drugged Hongzi.
If we gave false testimony in public the next day, he would have us watch him die right before our eyes. We couldn't afford the risk, so we had no choice but to do what he said.
Who knew he was completely insane? That's why sending you to the countryside was to save your life. Who knew that child's heart could be so twisted?
Brothers who had grown up together for over a decade could do such a thing. The key is that I asked someone to verify it, but we couldn't figure out how he poisoned us. We also secretly checked, but the health center couldn't find anything, only saying we were not in good health.
For so many years, we have been looking forward to your return, but also afraid of your return.
I can't even go to see you. I'm too weak to walk, and I don't dare to take the risk. I'm afraid he'll go crazy and hurt you again.
For so many years, he called us parents, was filial to us, visited us often, and ate with us, while still poisoning us and watching us decline with cold eyes.
He wanted us to die sooner. Seeing us vomiting blood, he was anxiously looking for medicine for us, fearing that we would die too early. How could he be so crazy?
But our children, we hope that you, all of you, will be well."
