all things

A day of running around makes people physically and mentally exhausted.

At night, while wanting to sit on the floor, leaning against the foot of the bed, curled up in a hunchbacked figure.

His eyes are empty, the corners of his lips are chapped, and he is only wearing a tight-fitting vest, showing two muscular forearms, with bruises from his resistance in the morning. At this time, the word "haggard" is not enough to describe him. The ugly expression on his face after a day of anxiety and irritability mixed with a drop of water.

His left arm was loosely bent in front of him, his fingers were twitching nervously, his right arm hung across the corner of the bed and hung on the other side, with a cigarette half-burned between his two fingers, flickering on and off The white smoke from the cigarette butt sparks slowly wanders in the small room without ample space.

There were a lot of awards, big and small, on the wall, and there were only colorful color blocks in his eyes. He stared at the pile of color blocks in a daze, and fell into a state of almost not knowing what to do.

The mobile phone was turned off, and it was thrown upside down on the bed. The crumpled cigarette cases and cigarette butts were scattered around him, and the air was filled with a strong smell of tobacco that had not dissipated for a long time.

Only the familiar smell between the ears and nose can bring peace of mind.

The cigarettes were brought in from his father before, and they were still stored at the bottom of the schoolbag. After lighting the last one, there will be no more—all the cigarettes and alcohol in his house were sealed and taken away this morning. , became part of the so-called "evidence", and the storage room was swept away.

Usually his father keeps a close eye on him in this regard, and he is not a big smoker himself. Occasionally, when his mouth is itchy, he will be able to take one or two cigarettes in his mouth. It is not a problem to smoke a pack for ten and a half days, but tonight I can't help it--

Anxiety and uneasiness made him almost collapse. He was like a terminal drug addict, his thoughts and movements were completely out of control, and his mind was full of anxiety and suspicion. The psychological comfort of that half-time meeting.

In the puffing of clouds, it was the smell of tobacco that filled the study all the year round. With it, he was able to lower his heart rate.

The initial anxiety and fear were covered up by the smoky smell of tobacco, and then the numbness and bewilderment covered him seamlessly, sweeping his entire brain. He clearly just wanted to calm himself down, but he was abruptly caught by the chaos in his body. Thousands of thoughts chaotically forced into depression.

What should be done?

What else can be done?

Obviously not long ago he had complained to Yu Jinle about Xu Shiba and Real Shiba, claiming that those people, including his father, regarded him as an inexperienced child and didn't believe his ability at all... But Now, he has to admit that he is really an ignorant kid, he can't even stop those people from evacuating his house!

Yes, what can he do?Is it just because he thinks he is invincible in the world so-called "pleasant"?

Zhang Guoyi's attitude in the morning already explained everything.

Without his father, why should he please others?The school's leading teacher will pay more attention to himself, isn't it also because of his father?Without his father taking the excuse of caring for his son to have dinner with the school leaders, why would they pay special attention to him out of thousands of students?Even the buddies who hang out together, like Wang Zhichao, came from the background of the Bian family to a large extent, and he knew this early on, didn't he?

The adult world is intricate, there is no right or wrong, only interests.

Wrapped in a thin sweater, Shen Yunjia sat quietly in the brightly lit hall. After running around all day, whether it was physical exhaustion or psychological blows, it was enough to have a huge impact on an early pregnant woman. side effects.

She propped her forehead with one hand, frowned slightly and leaned back on the chair gently. There was half a cup of cool water on the coffee table in front of her, and the painkillers that had been torn from the package lay quietly on the side, half of which was not missing.

She seemed to be thinking, and she seemed to be waiting for something. This feeling of powerlessness was even heavier than when she left Quancheng and followed Bian Zhenhua all the way to this small southern town—no, not only the feeling of powerlessness, but also the feeling of powerlessness. There are all uncertainties.

The sudden disaster came without warning.

The backbone of the family is gone, and there is no support behind the family. The Bian family at the other end of Quancheng can't count on it. Second Uncle Bian's petty troublesome position, if this matter does not affect him, he will have to burn incense and worship Buddha to thank God. How can he expect on what?Grandpa Bian is seven or eighty years old. He has been an honest man all his life. He is an old farmer who is not used to living in the city. How can he have the ability?The rest of the relatives are scattered, and in the past they were all looking forward to Bian Zhenhua's coming to heaven, so what can they do to help?

The Shen family... don't mention it!

She was mentally and physically exhausted as much as she was devastated, thinking.

She caressed her lower abdomen, stroking the unformed little life inside...

This was originally the source of her conflict with Bian, but now it has become her spiritual support.

Females are weak, but mothers are strong.

If nothing happened to Bian Zhenhua, she thought it would be worthwhile to abandon this child and change her family to Hening. After all, Bian thought that she would be content with this son, but now that something happened to Bian Zhenhua——

She hesitated.

At this time, someone must come out and support the family.

Thinking about being so young, he has never experienced storms or setbacks, his life is like a clear and calm clear water, whether it is Bian Zhenhua, Chen's mother, or her, they all gave the best things to them How could he, such a child, withstand repeated blows?

She can disregard her own body, but she can't disregard this family, she thinks, at this moment, she must not fall down.

This home can't stand another shock.

For the sake of this family, for Bian Zhenhua, and for Bian Zhenhua's sake—whether she wants to hate her or blame her, after all, she wants to protect her body.

So this child must stay!

Otherwise... Otherwise, that child is only so old, and the whole family will really fall on him!

Shen Yunjia closed her eyes...

On the landline phone by the wall, the red flashing light was beating regularly, which was the accumulated missed calls throughout the day.

On weekdays, the family would only miss calls when she was out, but today the family was in chaos, and they stayed in the procuratorate all day, how could they bother to take care of it?

The Bian family has changed, and the procuratorate has raided the door. It is impossible that those who have made good friends in the system have not received the wind, but as she expected, the Bian family is an outsider in the city of Bian, and the only relying on the Chen family has already fallen. Bian Zhenhua, as the biggest hozen on this tree, was supposed to carry on the baton, but now he has fallen, so can he expect other people to have the ability to catch it?

She flipped through the call log a few times. Among the few numbers, the most repeated one was the caller who was thinking about a classmate, followed by Uncle Ming's, and the one who was thinking about the head teacher.

Uncle Ming, as Bian Zhenhua's driver, has been going out with his leaders all year round. There are many things that Bian Zhenhua can't get around him. This time Bian Zhenhua lost contact. It is impossible to avoid the people's door-to-door search.Aunt Ming is an illiterate woman, the farthest she can go is the ancestral graveyard in the cemetery on the outskirts of the city, and her knowledge is limited. When has she ever seen such a battle?The only child was out to study again, and she couldn't make it back in time because of an accident at home. She must be at a loss right now.

How else can it harm the fish in the pond?

Tonight, I am afraid that everyone will not want to sleep...

She let out a soft sigh, and took the phone to call back. It was Aunt Ming's phone, and she heard Aunt Ming crying as soon as she got through.

"Our family's Amin is a part-time worker, how can he know about the leadership..."

"...the ordinary people who have always followed the rules, why did someone come to ransack the house..."

"Now there is no one to see, no news... I am left as an old woman who doesn't understand anything..."

"Sister Shen, tell me, what should I do..."

Shen Yunjia moved her lips and held the microphone tightly.

What to do, she also wants to know...

The words of consolation did not have any substantive effect on the incident, but she still had to say that it was a matter of attitude.

Bian Zhenhua has been immersed in the officialdom for so many years, if he didn't have some kung fu of knowing people and the means of controlling people, he would have been gnawed to nothing.His kindness and power to Uncle Ming's family is obvious: grace can be in material or action, as for power, human nature is greedy, under power and money, will there be any shortage?

Shen Yunjia was not very clear about the details, but this did not affect her making a basic judgment on Uncle Ming and even Uncle Ming's family.

Over the years, Uncle Ming's family and even relatives and friends have rarely used the power of the Bian family to act. Even Uncle Ming's own family has opened a small workshop in the industrial area on its own, relying on the relationship of the Bian family to take orders The shipments are correct and the business is booming.It's just that in order to avoid suspicion, they were handed over to relatives to take care of them. Uncle Ming and his wife still maintained the status quo of being a driver for Bian Zhenhua and a housewife at home.

Over the years that Uncle Ming has followed Bian Zhenhua, he has helped Bian Zhenhua with a lot of things overtly and secretly. Some things that are inconvenient to come forward or do not want to face to face are handled by Uncle Ming. The things he comes into contact with are far beyond what an ordinary driver should know. .

This means that he will also be a key witness in this incident, a tainted witness.

Shen Yunjia was shocked for a moment!

Having such an outsider who knows so much about him is an asshole, Shen Yunjia has no doubt that Bian Zhenhua will be defenseless, but are these embankments worth the current situation of the outside world...

Yes, the situation.

Bian Zhenhua, a deputy director, had an accident without anyone noticing. There was no news at all before. This kind of suddenness is not normal.He went to the provincial office to report at a meeting, but in fact it seemed to be just a bait to lure him...

Uncle Ming entered at the same time as Bian Zhenhua, and he is still in custody. What does this mean?This means that he is not only a witness, but also a suspect——

If it's just a simple witness, the time for obtaining a confession will not exceed twelve hours, and the suspect is different, especially the suspect who has the evidence...

Right now, there is no room for any further mistakes.

She took a deep breath and said to Aunt Ming: "Aunt Ming, the materials from the factory are not kept at home, right?"

Aunt Ming was taken aback, and then hurriedly replied: "No, no! Back then, the Border Bureau reminded A Ming that he had a public job, and these had to be removed, so the name was his third uncle's son..."

That is not bad.

Shen Yunjia let out a breath, pinched his thigh, reminding himself to be calm.

She said, "Aunt Ming, I have to give you a clear account of this matter. I don't know what hurdles I will find out, but if there are some things that can be guaranteed, we should try our best to protect them, understand?"

Aunt Ming became even more panicked: "Shen... Sister Shen, what are you talking about? What... What is "guaranteed if you can? I... I don't understand!" She was trembling so much that she was about to cry. After her death, she has been a housewife for most of her life, so how can she have the courage and courage to bear Shen Yunjia's confession?She only knew that her man was going to die, and their family would fall apart, so where would she have the energy to care about what and what to keep?

Shen Yunjia had a headache that was about to explode, "Aunt Ming, the children at home are still...still young, do you understand?"

How many families can be forcibly completed for the sake of children, and how many families are torn apart because of children. The experience of being a mother in the past few years has told her that for most women—most mothers—the child is the most important thing. The most direct point is that the weight is even more important than yourself and the whole family!

Sure enough, although they were still crying over there, they finally realized the danger: "Yes... our Abin is... still in college..."

Shen Yunjia took a short breath, and after a pause, she exhaled and inhaled a few times, and said forcefully, "Yes, at least for the children's paper... Aunt Ming, listen, tomorrow, tomorrow morning, let's meet. "

The two families have been copied, and these things on the surface are enough for them to choke. If those things are also found out in private, then I really don't know how far it will be involved...

In the system, the interests of each family are intertwined and indistinguishable, and the various relationship lines between teachers, old friends, family friends, and in-laws are intricate and intertwined into a network. Everyone is on this network. Just like what Bian Zhenhua taught and thought, anyone who is protected in this net is like being escorted by a fleet in the vast sea, which will get twice the result with half the effort.

But what if, falling outside the net...?

The adult world has never been easy.
