Chapter 76
During morning self-study, Jian Li lay on the table. As soon as spring came, she became particularly sleepy, especially when she was busy with heavy studies.
Her desk mate poked her quietly, and Jian Li quickly stood up her book. With her eyes still dazed, she began to recite the text with her mouth moving.
After reciting only a few lines of "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital", Jian Li realized something was wrong. Why were people around her laughing?
She took away the book and met the serious gaze of her English teacher.
Jian Li: ...Oops, I forgot that today is English morning self-study.
She quickly changed her textbook and smiled ingratiatingly at the teacher.
The English teacher walked around and left the classroom again. Only then did Jian Li lie back on the desk like a fool.
My deskmate exclaimed: "You are the best sleeper I have ever seen."
She feels sleepy during self-study in the morning and also sleepy during self-study in the evening. Her classmates are all puzzled: how did Jian Li get the first place in the exam with this sleeping style?
After sighing, my deskmate went back to chatting with the person in front of him.
Although Jian Li was asleep, she was secretly listening to the gossip in the class.
Who is getting along with whom, who is quarreling with whom, who is breaking up with whom for what reason.
The love, hate and vengeance of middle school students are quite interesting.
But today's topic is not about gossip, but about Xu Yanan.
"Xu Yanan hasn't been here for three days. Is she still taking the entrance exam?"
"My home is not far from hers. I heard her mother crying last night..."
"The head teacher has been there several times, but Xu Yanan still doesn't come to study."
…
Jian Li was no longer sleepy at all.
She buried her head under the book, frowning in thought.
Was it me who became a butterfly, or was Xu Yanan the same in her previous life?
Since the news of Xu Jianguo's death came, his eldest brother also rushed over from the countryside. Sun Yan just cried and cursed, and Xu Jianguo's body has not been brought back yet.
Xu Jianguo’s eldest brother had to go and pick it up himself.
When he saw one of his brother's shoes in the police station, the simple country man couldn't help but burst into tears.
The police gave Xu Jianguo's few belongings to his family, and then expressed regret that although the driver of the van was kidnapped on the spot, the driver was poor and could only pay 2,000 yuan in compensation.
Two thousand yuan was given to Sun Yan, who just felt sad.
What use is this little money?
She cried and howled all day and night.
Even if someone advised her to think carefully about her future path, she would take her anger out on them and tell them to get lost.
Xu Jianguo's eldest brother suggested taking Xu Yanan and Xu Tianci away.
After all, Sun Yan is not very old, so it will be convenient for her to remarry in the future.
But when Sun Yan heard this, she cursed particularly harshly, saying that Xu Jianguo's elder brother was trying to snatch her son away.
The usually honest man finally lost his temper, pointing at Sun Yan's nose and yelling, "I stole your son? Why would I steal your son? My brother had a good job, but you came out and insisted on bringing the child to the city! You made his job gone and forced him to go out to work! If he didn't go out, would he have died out there?"
Brother Xu Jianguo had tears in his eyes: "What I regret most is asking Jianguo to marry you!"
At that time, Xu Jianguo took over as a worker and fell in love with Sun Yan. Everyone in the family was against it, thinking that Sun Yan was difficult to talk to. But Xu Jianguo's eldest brother thought that his younger brother had never asked for anything in his life, and since he finally had a chance to say something complete, he might as well meet his request. So he took the initiative to give the house in the city to Xu Jianguo and returned to his hometown to farm.
But in just a few years, the weak brother has turned into a piece of earth.
Brother Xu Jianguo suppressed his inner pain and refrained from saying bad things to Sun Yan.
But even at this time, Sun Yan still said that he was trying to snatch the child away.
Brother Xu Jianguo couldn't stand it anymore. The person was dead, and this woman was still holding a son. In her eyes, did she really regard Xu Jianguo as her husband?
Brother Xu Jianguo's shout not only did not make Sun Yan feel ashamed, but instead provoked a greater backlash from her.
Sun Yan stood up suddenly, looked at her uncle with disdain, and threw out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket.
"Mr. Xu, don't talk nonsense in front of me. You just think your brother is an honest man, but look at what he has done!"
After the police brought the news of Xu Jianguo's death to her door, Sun Yan also thought about going to the police station to collect Xu Jianguo's body. But a series of news that followed stunned her.
The police produced an extremely detailed investigation of Xu Jianguo, covering all of his experiences in that strange city.
When Sun Yan saw those contents, the slight thought of Xu Jianguo in her heart was quickly extinguished.
This damn thing actually went to a prostitute!
Why are there so many problems in finding a construction site and why ...
Xu Jianguo is a very hard-working person!
He worked hard to earn 500 yuan a month and spent it all on wild women.
Even on the day he was hit by a car, he had just come out of the small hair salon and was hit and killed by the car while he was dazed.
Sun Yan's heart turned cold and she turned and left.
The police called her from behind and asked her if she still recognized the body.
Sun Yan just said coldly: "Throw it away!"
They were once husband and wife, but now they don’t even want to look at each other again because of the yin and yang.
Sun Yan slapped the content with the investigation results on Brother Xu Jianguo's face.
"This is your good brother!"
Brother Xu Jianguo was stunned for a long time before he bent down and picked up the paper.
He never expected that there was such a reason behind this.
Sun Yan's eyes were cold. Now that the bastard Xu Jianguo was dead, the entire Xu family owed her!
Brother Xu Jianguo stroked the piece of paper bitterly.
So confused.
This is so confusing.
"I want to take Jianguo back for burial."
Sun Yan's expression did not show any sign of relaxation: "I'm not going back."
Xu Jianguo's eldest brother pleaded, "Then tell the children to go back. This is the last leg of his journey, we have to see him off."
Xu Jianguo may not be a qualified husband and father, but...
"You can't just ask him to leave without anyone to slam the pot on."
In the end, Sun Yan had a frozen face and said nothing.
Brother Xu Jianguo took Xu Yanan and Xu Tianci with him and found a car to take Xu Jianguo back to his hometown.
The car was not easy to find, and in the end it was Jian Feng who helped.
Xu Jianguo didn't know what to say. He also knew Jian Feng and knew that Jian Feng took good care of his younger brother's family. But since his younger brother got married, the friendship between the two childhood friends was not as deep as before.
Now that the person is gone, Jian Feng first helped him go to the police station and also contacted a car for him to use.
Brother Xu Jianguo held Jian Feng's hand, tears streaming down his face: "It's worth it for Jianguo to have a brother like you to see him off."
Jian Feng lit a cigarette in silence. He had been avoiding his wife and daughter these past few days and had already smoked two packs of cigarettes.
Walking through the dense smoke, Jian Feng couldn't help but think of his childhood.
The cowardly Xu Jianguo also has his moments of being not cowardly. When he was a kid, he followed them around and did all kinds of things like attracting cats and teasing dogs.
now……
Jian Feng was bitten by the smoke, and his eyes sparkled.
The funeral was held quickly and Xu Jianguo's coffin was held the next day.
Xu Yanan looked at the little Xu Tianci standing in front of the coffin, still unconscious. When someone asked him to smash bowls and pots, he happily did it. It was not enough to smash them once, he picked them up and smashed them again.
Someone poked Xu Yanan and said, "Go take care of your brother!"
Xu Yanan looked up in a daze. The other person had a face she didn't even recognize.
"This child is so old, but he still can't take care of his brother?"
Xu Yanan wanted to go crazy.
Why should she take care of him!
Had anyone asked her about his birth?
Instead, everyone was hiding it from her!
Now that her father, who used to take care of things, has died, she is left to take care of things. Why should she do that?
Although her heart was already filled with shock and turmoil, Xu Yanan finally took Xu Tianci's hand and walked to the front of the crowd.
The white team dispersed after burying the body.
Xu Tianci was a little scared at this time. He held Xu Yanan's hand and dared not move.
Jian Feng burned some paper money for Xu Jianguo and politely declined Xu Jianguo's elder brother's invitation to dinner.
“I have to get back to work.”
Borrowing a car was a waste of effort. Nowadays, people who have cars are reluctant to transport dead bodies. Jian Feng still used a lot of connections to find a car that was specifically designed to transport dead bodies to the funeral home.
I just have to repay the favors I owe and also attend a social event at noon.
Only then did Brother Xu Jianguo stop persuading him.
His eyes fell on Xu Yanan and Xu Tianci.
"You two..."
Sun Yan's condition was not good, and Xu Jianguo's eldest brother had no way to place the two children.
Xu Yanan had to go to school in the third year of junior high school, so she had to stay in the city. Xu Tianci was still young, and now he was so scared that he was crying for his mother.
Xu Yanan didn't say anything, and finally brother Xu Jianguo had no choice but to let Jian Feng take the person away.
"Their mother is crazy. Let her calm down."
After calming down, we can talk about the future of the two children.
What Xu Jianguo's eldest brother thought in his heart was that it would be best if Sun Yan took Xu Yanan away. After all, Xu Tianci was a boy and was young. Whether from a public or private perspective, the best solution was for Xu Tianci to stay in the Xu family.
It is said that Xu Yanan has good grades, and it will only take three years for Sun Yan to take her away and this daughter will be of use.
It's better than taking my son for a walk.
But he also knew that Sun Yan's way of thinking was different from others, and considering Xu Jianguo's previous dirty tricks, Sun Yan would definitely not listen to him.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to let her think about it carefully and talk about it when she has figured it out.
Jian Feng nodded and took Xu Yanan and Xu Tianci back to the family compound.
When they arrived at the place, Xu Yanan mechanically said thank you uncle and was about to get off the car.
Jian Feng felt the money in his pocket and finally stuffed one thousand yuan into Xu Yanan's hand.
"Here, the five hundred belongs to your uncle Liming. Take it."
Xu Yanan was about to decline subconsciously, but Jian Feng touched her head and said, "Take it. You'll have plenty of places to spend money in the future."
Xu Yanan stood there and watched Jian Feng drive away.
She thought, it would be great if Jian Feng was her father.
…
After returning home, Sun Yan actually washed clothes at home for the first time.
There was a large area of clothes hanging out to dry inside and outside the house, and Sun Yan was still rubbing them with a grunt.
Xu Yanan numbly moved a stool over and prepared to take over Sun Yan's job.
Sun Yan glared at her and said, "Take Tianci out to play, don't get in the way here."
Xu Yanan was stunned for two seconds before walking away.
After Sun Yan finished washing the clothes, she cleaned the house, making it spotless inside and out.
Xu Yanan wanted to help, but Sun Yan pushed her away in disgust.
"Go away, it's a hindrance."
Sun Yan seemed to be using endless housework to wear down her fear of the future.
Everything in the house was clean and tidy. Sun Yan stopped with satisfaction and asked about today's funeral.
Xu Yanan said everything, and Sun Yan spat: "This bastard can be buried peacefully. He really doesn't mind the dirt."
Sun Yan's mood inexplicably improved a lot.
The next day she urged Xu Yanan to go to school.
"The school has waived your tuition fees, so wouldn't it be a loss if you don't go?"
Xu Yanan went to school again. Jian Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Yanan coming again.
But this tone of relief did not last long.
On the third day, when Xu Yanan returned home, she found that the house was empty.
Sun Yan took her son, sold the house and ran away.
