Chapter 180 Zhang Jianguo's Prayer, Life
Zhang Baiyan didn't say a word along the way, and Zhang's father didn't say anything either because he had something on his mind. The closer they got to the prison gate, the more nervous and silent they became. In places like this, they had to check themselves when entering and leaving. It was their first time here, and they didn't even dare to look around.
Zhang Baiyan always felt that the gazes falling on him were creepy, and he had an instinctive sense of danger.
The prison guard took the father and son into the meeting room. After a while, Zhang Jianguo was brought out and the two sides could only talk through the glass.
When they saw Zhang Jianguo for the first time, Zhang's father and Zhang Baiyan were shocked. The man in front of them had lost his former glory and had lost a lot of weight. He seemed to have aged 20 or 30 years in an instant. What made Zhang's father even more worried was that Zhang Jianguo had circles of gauze wrapped around his head, and it seemed that he was injured.
Zhang's father looked puzzled. The first thing he asked when he picked up the phone was, "What's going on with your head?"
Zhang Jianguo, who was sitting across the glass, forced a pale smile and shook his head slightly. "It's nothing. I was just sick and had an operation. Are you all okay?"
Father Zhang said nothing, his eyes red.
Zhang Jianguo laughed at himself and murmured, "Look at what I'm asking. You've raised two outstanding children, and now you're finally at the end of your rope. Wanwan has also finished her college entrance exam, right? How's she doing? Where did she go to study? As her uncle, I couldn't even congratulate her."
Father Zhang kept wiping his eyes, took a deep breath and asked, "What's the matter with you calling me over?"
Based on Zhang's father's understanding of Zhang Jianguo, he would not have looked for him unless he was really at his wit's end.
Zhang Jianguo choked and laughed. As he laughed, he started to cry. He choked and said, "Jianye, I have thought a lot during the years I have been in prison. I know I am selfish and I am sorry for you and even more sorry for Dad. I regret it, but there is no regret medicine in the world. My life is over, but Nini's life has just begun. I have no choice but to ask you for help! Since Nini is also your niece, please help them!"
Zhang Jianguo stared at Zhang's father eagerly.
Father Zhang was stunned for a moment, and did not respond immediately. He glanced at Zhang Baiyan, who was standing beside him with a gloomy face, and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Zhang Jianguo cried even more miserably, tears streaming down his face, "Nini couldn't accept the changes in her family. After her injury healed, her mother took her to another province to study. But she didn't learn well and always associated with people from society. Later, I don't know how she got addicted to drugs. When they gathered together to take drugs, they were caught by the police on the spot.
When the child's mother heard the news, she was so angry that she fell to the ground. When she was sent to the hospital, we found out that she had a tumor and needed surgery and chemotherapy. Our family's property was frozen. The mother and daughter didn't have much money, and it had been spent most of it in the past few years of living away from home. Not to mention the cost of surgery, they couldn't even afford the cost of hospitalization. In the end, they had no choice but to go back to Pu City to ask relatives for help, but her father and brother in law were in trouble, and her sister-in-law kept saying that she had no money to help.
Luckily, I still had some friends before the accident, and they helped me with some medical expenses, but that is not a long-term solution, and they are not obliged to help me again and again. I can't repay this favor, so after thinking about it, I can only think of you, Jianye, please help them, just this time, brother, I beg you!"
Zhang's father was furious. He pounded the table and stood up and cursed, "Asshole! She's addicted to drugs at such a young age. Does she want to die? After all, it's you who taught her to be like this! She was full of problems before, but you still felt good about yourself. Everything now is your retribution."
Zhang Jianguo! I just can't understand, you have already gained both fame and fortune, why are you still not satisfied? You are the one who can do such things as corruption and bribery! Our Zhang family has been poor for generations and no one has done such illegal and shameful things. You are already living a good life but you are still so unsatisfied! The ancestors of the Zhang family have been embarrassed by you, why should I help you?
Don't forget, who instigated the thugs to smash my stall and send me to the hospital? It was your good wife! Your daughter's mother! Everything she has now is her own fault! How despicable must I be to help her? Why should I help her? "
Zhang's father's voice roared in the room. Zhang Baiyan had never seen Zhang's father get so angry since he was a child. Even the look he gave Zhang Jianguo was very unfriendly.
Zhang Jianguo on the other side of the glass just kept crying and saying sorry, and even stood up and knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang's father.
Zhang's father was so angry that his face turned red and he kept pounding the wall. Zhang Baiyan was pulling him hard. Seeing that Zhang Jianguo still had something to say, he went to answer the phone on behalf of Zhang's father. After Zhang Jianguo finished speaking, he hung up with a wooden face.
Seeing Zhang Jianguo looking back every few steps as he was taken away by the prison guards, Zhang Baiyan suddenly understood a truth: people really cannot make mistakes in their lives. If they make one wrong step, they will all make mistakes. Not all mistakes can be started over again. When you fall from the clouds, those who you looked down upon in the past will also look down on you.
After leaving the prison, Zhang's father looked very tired and his back was bent a lot. Zhang Baiyan worriedly helped him get into the car and silently took him back.
Zhang Wanwan was the only one at home. When she heard the noise, she hurried out of the room. Seeing that Zhang's father looked a little strange, she looked at Zhang Baiyan with confusion.
Zhang Baiyan shook his head at her.
The brother and sister watched Zhang's father return to his room. For a moment, they didn't know what to do. In the afternoon, Zhang's father still hadn't left the room. Zhang Wanwan looked at the untouched food on the table and frowned, saying, "Why don't we ask Mom to come back?"
Zhang Baiyan nodded and immediately called Zhang's mother.
Soon, Zhang's mother opened the door in a hurry and asked the brother and sister, "What's going on?"
Zhang Wanwan shrugged and shook her head. Zhang Boyan hesitated and said, "Mom, you should ask my dad."
Mother Zhang was frightened by the strange looks of the two people and hurried to the room.
Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan also followed quietly.
Zhang's mother was sitting beside the bed in the room, speaking to Zhang's father in a gentle tone. The brother and sister looked at each other, they had never seen Zhang's mother be so gentle to Zhang's father.
Father Zhang got up from the bed only after being persuaded by Mother Zhang. He immediately spotted the two children watching the fun at the door. He rubbed his red eyes embarrassedly and left the room with the help of Mother Zhang.
Zhang Wanwan hurried to the kitchen and brought over a bowl of warm soup.
Father Zhang drank a few sips reluctantly. Seeing the six eyes of the family of three staring at him, he suddenly felt a little sorry for his family. "I'm fine, don't worry."
Zhang Wanwan joked, "We know that Dad is fine, he's just unhappy. If Dad has anything that makes him unhappy, please tell us so that we can be happy."
