Chapter 070 Chapter 70
Sun Zhiliang's heart was calm.
He said calmly: "Mother, you know, I am a disaster star, I will only bring misfortune. If I show up, my father's illness will probably be worse."
Sun's mother was choked by him, and then she said the real purpose: "Zhiliang, please give me some more money, your father really needs money for treatment."
"Mother, I was laid off by the company, and I was just looking for you to borrow a few thousand yuan to let me tide over the window period temporarily. Now you are asking me for money. I remember that I just borrowed nearly 100,000 yuan from you the day before yesterday. How come you spent all the money in just two days? What did you spend it on?"
Sun's mother hesitated for a while, left a sentence "I will think about it again", and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Sun Zhiliang didn't take it seriously. He was going to have breakfast, make a resume, find a company to work for, and then plan for the future.
With his experience working in a big city and his education from a prestigious school, Sun Zhiliang soon found a job with good pay, and his life in the new city gradually got on track.
Just as he was preparing for his future career planning, his mother called again.
She cried and told Sun Zhiliang that her father had both legs amputated because he had no money for treatment, and now he could only live in a wheelchair.
The money that Sun Zhiliang originally gave was used as a betrothal gift for Sun Xiangyang's girlfriend Jiajia, and Sun Xiangyang needed to buy a house to get married, and the money they had saved for decades was used to pay the down payment for the house.
They have no money now, and it is difficult to eat. They really need some cash to survive. Things will get better when Sun Xiangyang finds a job.
Sun Zhiliang said calmly: "Mom, I just found a job for a month. The price of goods in this city is not low, and the salary of the new job is not high, but it is enough for me to live here in a tight situation." Sun's
mother on the other end of the phone was shocked and blurted out: "You don't live in the county?"
Sun Zhiliang smiled sarcastically. He has been away for almost two months. He disappeared alive, but his mother didn't notice anything. She didn't even go to his company or the house he rented before.
Sun Zhiliang: "I don't have any money now. I have a loan for living. I really can't give you money."
Sun's mother: "Why don't you lend more? Your father, your brother and I are waiting for dinner at home!"
Sun Zhiliang hung up the phone.
After work that day, he went to apply for a new phone card. He didn't want to have anything to do with the past.
Before throwing away the old card, Sun Zhiliang thought about it and gave half of his salary to Sun's mother.
The days that followed were peaceful. In addition to work, Sun Zhiliang kept looking for suitable entrepreneurial projects and people who could invest in him. More than
two months later, Sun Zhiliang received a strange call.
It was a call from the county police.
The police told him that his brother had his arm chopped off by an angry debtor when he was blackmailing him. The Public Security Bureau found out that he was Sun Xiangyang's brother and called him to ask if he knew anything about the case.
Sun Zhiliang told the truth that he didn't know anything about it. He had left home a few months ago and came to a coastal city to work.
The police just made routine inquiries and hung up the phone after confirming the general situation.
Sun Zhiliang was absent-minded that day. When he was having dinner with the investor in the evening, the other party saw his worries.
Sun Zhiliang felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, so he told the investor everything, including his connection with Gu Yanyi and his subsequent help.
"When you went to solicit investment, I thought you looked familiar! It turns out that you really are a smiling man!" The investor was surprised.
This investor was a die-hard fan of Gu Yanyi and had watched every one of his live broadcasts. When he heard that Sun Zhiliang had received the yellow talisman gift from Gu Yanyi, he immediately decided to increase his investment in Sun Zhiliang.
Gu Yanyi said that the other party would give the money after a few years, which must mean that Sun Zhiliang would become successful in a few years.
Since it was a fate that had been stamped by Gu the charlatan, there must be no problem.
This was an unexpected gain for Sun Zhiliang. With sufficient funds, he immediately began to prepare in full swing. In just a few months, the company had begun to take shape.
As the end of the year approached, Sun Zhiliang was preparing to celebrate New Year's Eve with other colleagues in the company who did not plan to go home.
The young people in the company were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, and Sun Zhiliang was also making dumplings. At this time, the phone rang.
He walked to the corner and answered the phone.
"Hello, is this Mr. Sun Zhiliang? We are from the county public security bureau. We are calling you to tell you that your mother is in trouble."
Sun Zhiliang was stunned and hurriedly asked what happened.
Police: "Your mother Zou Rong and Sun Xiangyang had a conflict in the kitchen at home. Zou Rong knocked down and beat Sun Xiangyang. In retaliation, Sun Xiangyang grabbed Zou Rong's neck. Because the force was too great, Zou Rong grabbed a knife scattered on the ground and stabbed Sun Xiangyang in the abdomen in order to break free from the clamp. Sun Xiangyang was injured. When we arrived, your mother Zou Rong had suffocated to death, and Sun Xiangyang was also rushed to the hospital for treatment. She is currently out of danger, but his injured kidney has been removed."
The police had just finished speaking when a noisy scrambling sound came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by a familiar man's voice.
Soon, his father, Sun Caihua, was on the other end of the phone.
"Sun Zhiliang, something big has happened at home, you need to come back to me as soon as possible!" His tone was as cold and commanding as ever.
Sun Zhiliang didn't respond, but only asked, "Why did the two of them end up in such a mess?"
Sun Caihua avoided the topic and spoke vaguely about the conflict between mother and son.
"Father, are you kidding me? How big a conflict between mother and son can lead to a death? Didn't mother always love Sun Xiangyang? I won't go back if you don't explain this to me clearly today."
Sun Caihua said "you you and me" for a while, and finally said: "It's still that dead woman named Jia Jia. She is a liar. She deceived Xiangyang!"
Amid Sun Caihua's scolding, Sun Zhiliang finally pieced together the whole picture of the matter.
In order to marry Sun Xiangyang, Zou Rong and Sun Caihua not only used their savings plus the 90,000 yuan he gave them to raise a 200,000 yuan dowry for the woman, but since they did not have enough cash to buy a house, they mortgaged their home to a bank to get a down payment on a house in the city center.
At the beginning, the woman said that her name did not need to be written on the property certificate, as long as Sun Xiangyang could give her a home.
The three members of the Sun family felt that they had gotten a great bargain after hearing this. Before marriage, the property certificate was written in their own name, and after marriage, the woman's money was used to support the couple's life. When he asked his brother for money to pay off the mortgage, the house had nothing to do with the woman.
He could get a house for free after getting married, and his wife was beautiful and generous. All the good things in the world happened to Sun Xiangyang.
The people of the Sun family were counting the beads on their abacus, but who knew that the woman came here for fraud? The next day after paying the down payment, the woman disappeared without a trace with the 200,000 yuan she had received.
Sun Zhiliang had no idea what was going on after hearing this. His parents and his three brothers had been cheated by a real estate agent.
Sun Caihua cursed: "It's all because of that bitch. She cheated Xiangyang. Now the family has no money left. Your mother was very angry and cursed Xiangyang a few words. She was so angry that she hit him a few times. Who knew that the unfilial son would actually, in front of me--" "
Father, you know, I have a bad fate. Maybe I will kill my brother when I come back."
Sun Caihua on the other end paused and said reluctantly: Those are feudal superstitions. We shouldn't have listened to that damn Taoist priest and treated you harshly for so many years. "
Sun Zhiliang remained silent, feeling only irony in his heart. When he was needed, it was feudal superstition, and when he was not needed, he was doomed.
After a long time, he said, "Let's put it this way. Mother's body will be kept in the funeral home for seven days, and the funeral will be held seven days later. I will go back in a few days and help you deal with it."
Sun Caihua hung up the phone after getting Sun Zhiliang's promise.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Sun Zhiliang called the investor and informed him of the changes at home.
The investor asked him to go back and deal with the family affairs first, but he must not forget to bring Gu Yanyi's blessing of peace.
…
After returning home, Sun Zhiliang went to visit his younger brother Sun Xiangyang first.
Sun Xiangyang was not in a good mood when he saw him. He blamed Sun Zhiliang for everything that happened at home. After seeing his brother, he threw almost everything that could be thrown from the bedside cabinet at Sun Zhiliang.
Seeing this, Sun Zhiliang did not even step into the door of the ward. After saying hello to the police on guard, he went straight to the funeral home.
Before he left yesterday, he had already informed relatives and friends of his parents about today's funeral.
After that, it was a simplified funeral.
Through the lid of the ice coffin, Sun Zhiliang could see the obvious purple marks on his mother's neck, which were the work of Sun Xiangyang.
The funeral lasted until the evening. After the last wave of mourners left, Zou Rong was pushed into the incinerator, and when she came out, she had turned into a pile of ashes.
Sun Zhiliang put Zou Rong's ashes into the urn prepared in advance, handful by handful.
His mother had been suppressing him since he was a child and favoring his younger brother. He thought that his departure was to make the family complete, but who would have thought that in less than half a year, the whole family would have been shattered.
He did not feel much in his heart, only a sense of absurdity as a bystander watching a farce.
The urn was kept in the funeral home for one night, and the next day it was buried in the selected cemetery.
He held the urn, and he and Sun Caihua took the funeral home's car to the cemetery selected in advance.
This After finishing this task, he will leave this city, and this time he really does not plan to go home again. He thought. His father's legs are not good for walking, and his brother is in the hospital. He will temporarily hire a nurse to take care of them.
For other things, don't count on him anymore. He thought things would go smoothly, but when the car drove to a bridge across the river, a truck came head-on and crashed directly into the funeral home's car.
After a violent collision, the car slid sideways for a long distance and was barely stopped by the railing of the bridge. The front windshield shattered into a spider web.
The truck was not so lucky. It was entangled by the steel bars on the bridge and the whole car overturned. Due to its high speed, heavy weight and great inertia, it actually overturned. He flew off the bridge and fell into the river.
Sun Caihua, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, was not wearing a seat belt. After the car door was knocked open, he flew out due to inertia and hit his head on the railing of the bridge. Blood was all over his head and face. He lay on the ground with his eyes closed, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The driver and Sun Zhiliang, who were sitting in the front seat, only suffered minor injuries when they faced the impact head-on.
When the two got out of the car, their legs were shaking.
The driver quickly called the ambulance.
Sun Zhiliang called the police.
He was sitting in the front seat and saw it very clearly. The man driving the empty truck was the one who should have been in the hospital ward - Sun Xiangyang!
