Chapter 196 Greeting Card
Tong Yue's mother died of complications during childbirth.
Later, Tong's father never remarried and raised Tong Yue while working.
As for Tong Yue's grandparents, they live in another place. After Tong's mother passed away, they wanted Tong's father to remarry, but the latter was unwilling, so this planted the seeds of conflict and their relationship was not good.
Tong's father is a carpenter. When Tong Yue was still a little baby, he was carried on his back by his father while he did carpentry work and raised him little by little.
Although the Tong family is not wealthy, Tong's father always tries his best to give Tong Yue the best.
Because of her father's love, even without a mother, Tong Yue still grew up to be lively, cheerful and kind.
Of course, Tong Yue also inherited the good genes of her parents and was born very soft and cute.
Tong's father would also braid her hair into beautiful little braids and buy her shiny hairpins.
Today, Tong Yue left school as usual and went home with the group.
However, she did not go home as usual, but went to the store at the end of the village.
Most people in Zhujia Village are surnamed Zhu, but there are also people with other surnames, such as Tong Yue, who also has several families with the surname Tong.
There are two convenience stores in Zhujia Village.
One is at the entrance of the village, which sells more things and is more lively.
One is at the end of the village, in a remote place with few houses around, and few people go to buy it.
Tong Yue first went to the store at the entrance of the village, and then came to the store at the end of the village.
At this time, Tong Yue was the only one in the canteen.
"Uncle Zhu, please tell me, has Dad's birthday card arrived?" Tong Yue asked softly.
At this moment, the man who was watching a pornographic film in the store raised his head, and the face revealed was suddenly Zhu Hui.
A face with small eyes, upturned nostrils, a flat nose bridge, thick and swollen lips, and a short stature, estimated to be only about 1.5 meters tall.
Zhu Hui, 48 years old, is a native of Zhujia Village and lives alone in his family.
Because of Zhu Hui's appearance and not very wealthy family, no local girl was willing to marry him.
Later, for some unknown reason, he married a woman from another place, but within two years, she ran away.
Later, Zhu Hui never remarried. Of course, he couldn't get married. Even the widows in the village were unwilling to marry him.
After that, Zhu Hui opened a small shop at the end of the village near his home.
Because of the remote location and his ugly appearance, few people come to buy things from him.
But it has been open for many years.
Zhu Hui's eyes swept across Tong Yue's face, and then he smiled. "It's Yueyue. I just came in with the birthday card you wanted, but it's at my house. Are you in a hurry to get it now? Why don't you come with me to get it at my house?"
Today is Tong’s father’s birthday.
Tong Yue has a very good relationship with her father and is very grateful to her father for raising her. So, a few days ago, when she knew her father's birthday was approaching, she planned to give her father a birthday present.
She didn't have much money and knew that her father didn't like cakes or anything like that, so she planned to give her father a birthday card and write what she wanted to say to him on the card.
However, she asked at the store at the entrance of the village a few days ago and asked again today, but the store didn’t have that kind of greeting card.
I came to the store at the end of the village today just to try my luck.
She also came to ask a few days ago.
At that time, when Uncle Zhu learned that she wanted a greeting card for her father, he said he would go and purchase some.
That's why Tong Yue came to ask today.
I didn’t expect it to really exist.
Very good!
Tong Yue felt a little nervous just thinking about going to Uncle Zhu's house.
Dad once said, don’t go to strangers’ homes casually.
but……
Tong Yue thought: Uncle Zhu is from their village, so he shouldn't be a stranger.
Of course, the most important thing is that Tong Yue really wanted to get the greeting card.
Today happens to be my father's birthday.
So, having made up her mind, Tong Yue raised her head and said, "Uncle Zhu, I'll go home with you to get it."
"Okay, then come with me."
Zhu Hui stood up and closed the door of the convenience store. The moment he turned around, a strange curve flashed across his face at the corner of his mouth.
Then, Tong Yue followed Zhu Hui, carrying her schoolbag, towards his home.
Zhu Hui's home is in a more remote place at the end of the village.
Tong Yue looked at Zhu Hui's back. She thought, although the villagers said that Uncle Zhu was ugly and did not dare to get close to him, Tong Yue felt that Uncle Zhu was a good person.
After all, a few days ago, she wanted greeting cards, and only Uncle Zhu remembered and stocked them for her.
Soon, Tong Yue followed Zhu Hui to his home.
Zhu Hui's house is a bungalow with a yard. There are no other houses around it, but only wasteland.
"Yueyue, stay here. Uncle will go to the house to get the greeting card."
"good."
Zhu Hui entered the room, took out a cup, poured water into it, and then poured a packet of medicine powder into the cup.
Then he stirred it with his fingers.
Then he took out a greeting card from the drawer.
"Come, Yueyue, this is a greeting card for you."
Tong Yue waited for a while and then saw Zhu Hui come out and hand her the greeting card.
Tong Yue took it with both hands, looked down, and found that it was indeed the kind of birthday card she wanted.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhu."
"You're welcome. Yueyue must be thirsty. Come and have a glass of water." Zhu Hui handed the glass of water to Tong Yue.
Tong Yue, who was forced to drink a glass of water, said: ...
Tong Yue is not a child who would refuse others, not to mention that it was Uncle Zhu who helped her.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhu. By the way, how much is the greeting card? I'll give it to you." As he spoke, Tong Yue lowered his head and prepared to drink some water.
After all, it was Uncle Zhu who handed it to her. She felt that even if she was not thirsty at the moment, she should still drink some, as it would be polite.
Zhu Hui had a smile on his face and was about to say something when suddenly his hands and feet became uncontrollable.
So, Tong Yue, who hadn't even had a sip of water yet, was very surprised when she saw Zhu Hui suddenly turn around and run out.
What's wrong?
Tong Yue followed Zhu Hui out and saw that Zhu Hui took out an axe from somewhere and started chopping himself with it.
With a "bang", Tong Yue was so scared that the cup of water in her hand fell to the ground.
Then he screamed "Ah" and ran out.
Tong Yue, who ran out screaming, quickly attracted the attention of the villagers, and Tong's father also heard it.
After listening to Tong Yue's story, the villagers all went to Zhu Hui's home.
At this time, the door of Zhu Hui's house was wide open. As soon as they entered, they saw Zhu Hui lying on the ground, having cut himself into pieces at some point.
That scene...
Even adults would have nightmares after watching it.
Soon, the police and police cars arrived...
Tong Yue was also taken away, after all, she was the only person present when the incident happened.
As Tong's guardian, his father naturally went along.
