"Cui Zhiyuan, you, you, you...coward!"
Cui Minzhi was so annoyed by him that she couldn't find a suitable label for him for a long time, and finally put the word "coward" on his head.
When Cui Zhiyuan saw her hideous and distorted face, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity and even more of a chill. He snorted coldly, "Go ahead and scold me if you like. It's up to you. I won't argue with a shrew."
After saying that, he stood up, pushed her away, and changed seats with his things.
Looking at his back, Cui Minzhi was so angry that her head felt dizzy, but she couldn't do anything about him. She felt a little regretful in her heart. She shouldn't have been so impulsive and shouldn't have quarreled with him. It didn't do her any good.
But she couldn't bring herself to apologize now. Seeing her nephew sitting on the other side, she spoke to him: "Wendong."
"What's the matter?" Cui Wendong tilted his head with a pale expression.
"I was just too angry, I didn't mean to say those things to your uncle..."
Before she finished speaking, Cui Wendong understood what she meant. She wanted him to mediate.
He wouldn't be so foolish as to anger his Second Uncle. He said coldly, "I tried to persuade you last night, but you didn't listen to me and insisted on listening to Grandma's instigation. What you just said is more hurtful than a knife. I feel bad just listening to it, let alone Second Uncle. If you want to apologize, go and apologize to Second Uncle in person. Don't look for me. It's useless to ask me."
"Now it seems that you have really been bewitched by Cui Lanzhi and have become estranged from your grandparents." Cui Minzhi became angry again.
"No one is trying to offend me, and I'm not alienated from anyone. I just don't want to get involved in these messy things. I'm tired of selling goods at the stall every day to make money, and I don't have the mood or energy to listen to these things."
After saying this, Cui Wendong turned his head away and looked out the window, not even wanting to look at his aunt and her son.
In the past two years, my aunt often came home to beg for money. Whenever she came back, she would cry and complain, always blaming the world. She was like a locust, every time she came back, she would plunder all kinds of things, always using her difficult life as an excuse. He was already fed up with it, and now he felt disgusted when he saw them.
When they arrived at the bus station to change buses, Cui Minzhi, her mother and her two children did not follow them. Cui Zhiyuan did not speak to them either. He carried his things and followed Cui Wendong to buy tickets for the change bus.
Cui Minzhi naturally returned to her parents' home and started crying as soon as she arrived. She cried so hard that her heart was broken. She poured out all the bitter words she had poured out countless times again. Even Qian Mengping didn't want to listen and took her grandson out early.
Cui Wendong went out for something today, so Cui Paner went to his warehouse early to get some stock, set up a stall nearby for the whole morning, and earned five or six yuan.
As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard her aunt's voice. She even gave up the idea of going into the house. After hesitating for a few seconds, she decided not to go in and turned around to go to the small house rented by her brother.
"Pan'er, you're back."
Qian Mengping took her grandson for a walk and came back, thinking Cui Paner was going out. "It's already noon, what are you doing out there?"
"My aunt is at home, I don't want to go in."
Cui Paner spoke the truth, took out a candy from her pocket and gave it to her nephew, saying, "Mom, don't go back to cook at noon, let's go out and have a bowl of noodles."
Qian Mengping didn't want to go back to serve Cui Minzhi and her son. She hated their current expressions and turned away, holding her grandson's hand. "Okay."
They didn't go home to cook. Cui Minzhi was hungry after crying for so long. She started to complain about her sister-in-law for not coming back to cook. She asked her two sons to go out to look for her, but they couldn't find her. In the end, she had to cook by herself, and she started complaining again at the dinner table.
Cui Zhiyuan and his companions took nearly two hours to arrive at the place where Cui Ningyuan was imprisoned. The prison held the core figures of that faction and was under strict supervision. Because Cui Zhiyuan and his son were foreigners, there were many inspection and approval procedures. They waited for about two hours before being notified that they were allowed to visit.
The visiting time is only ten minutes, and there are prison guards listening and monitoring the entire process.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Cui Ningyuan was brought out. Apart from being a little thinner than two years ago, there were not many other changes.
"dad."
When Cui Wendong saw him, he felt excited and a little complicated.
"Wendong." Cui Ningyuan was very happy to see his son, but when he saw the person next to him, his expression changed visibly: "Zhiyuan?"
"elder brother."
Cui Zhiyuan saw the white hair on his temples and felt very complicated. He taught his son beside him: "Siwei, this is uncle."
"Uncle." Cui Siwei followed and called out.
"Why."
Cui Ningyuan gave a somewhat awkward smile and asked kindly, "How old are you?"
"Ten years old." Cui Siwei replied.
Cui Ningyuan nodded and looked at his second brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He saw that the second brother was still as handsome and elegant as he was in his youth, and his aura was even stronger than before. He looked more mature and steady. He felt a little ashamed standing in front of him.
Cui Zhiyuan handed the things he brought to the prison guard for inspection, then sat down opposite him and said, "I already know everything that happened at home. The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. You have violated the Party's discipline and the state's laws, and you should be seriously investigated and severely punished."
"My parents wrote to inform me of my return. You can probably guess why they asked me to come back."
"I have already rejected them. Whether it's your case or that of the Third Wenhao, you have indeed made a mistake and are not wronged. I will not do anything that goes against the law of the country. I hope you will not resent my brother for being ruthless."
"Minzhi is preparing to remarry with her two children. The third son's wife chose to divorce him when he got into trouble. I heard that she took all the family property and children with her, and the children all took her surname. Since they no longer have the surname Cui, I will no longer care about them."
"Wendong and Pan'er are two good children. They have been supporting the family for the past two years. I have provided them with some financial support so that their lives can be guaranteed in the short term."
"As for Wenhao, he'll be out in a year. He's the eldest son and grandson, and I think my eldest brother and his wife have already made plans for him. Judging from my parents' attitude, they've also made some other arrangements. He doesn't need help from me, his second uncle, and he'll be able to have enough food and clothing when he's out."
Cui Ningyuan pursed his lips as he spoke. He glanced at his son and said, "Zhiyuan, big brother was wrong. One wrong step led to another. It was outrageous. He ruined himself and the Cui family. I know it's useless to say this now. I can only repent here for the rest of my life."
"Zhiyuan, I know our family is in a mess right now. Among the five brothers and sisters, only you and Lanzhi can still stand up straight and be upright."
"Lanzhi, we are the ones who have let her down. I don't expect her to forgive me or my parents."
"Zhiyuan, I was bewildered before. I didn't listen to your advice and insisted on doing too many wrong things. Now I am filled with remorse. I don't expect you to help me. I really deserve it now. I should spend the rest of my life here repenting."
"Zhiyuan, I know it's not easy for you to come back, and it's not easy to come to see me. I'm here to ask you for one more thing."
