Thousand Willows

When Jiang Yizhong saw his younger brother Jiang Yiming in prison, his hair was still shaved very short, and he was even more haggard and thin than the last time he saw him.

"Mom asked me to bring you some clothes and some pocket money..." Jiang Yizhong said to Jiang Yiming who was sitting on the other side through the glass.

"En." Jiang Yiming just hummed, without any other indication.

There was a moment of silence between the two.

"Did you quarrel with Mom?" Jiang Yizhong still couldn't help asking the question in his mind.

Jiang Yiming turned his head to the right, frowned, bit his lower lip, and said bitterly for a long time: "She said that she drove Lei Lei away. Wait for me to go out..." The "Leilei" in his mouth is Zhang Leilei, his ex-girlfriend who later ran away with Feng Yugang.

Jiang Yizhong remained silent. As far as he knew, the matter about Zhang Leilei and Feng Yugang might not be that simple.

At that time, Jiang Yizhong's mother, Aunt Qian, was in a hurry to sell the company. Liu Minhui and Feng Yugang were both intended buyers at the time. The rumors and rumors in the county became more and more scandalous, and she was pointed out by many people. In addition, she had to deal with the matter of her youngest son, so she finally broke out one day and ruined the marriage.

Jiang Yizhong knew about Feng Yugang. After all, he was a member of the student union when he was in college. He looked serious on the surface, but he was very cautious.For Feng Yugang, Jiang Yizhong didn't have much affection. He remembered that when he was in college, once after class, he went downstairs to the girls' dormitory to wait for his girlfriend Ge Xiaofei at that time, but he was delayed for a while because of something.When he arrived downstairs in the girls' dormitory, he happened to see Ge Xiaofei chatting happily with Feng Yugang in front of the building. In fact, it was nothing, but the way Feng Yugang looked at Ge Xiaofei was definitely not the eyes of ordinary friends, Jiang Yizhong could still see this.Since then, Jiang Yizhong has consciously or unconsciously kept a distance from Feng Yugang. The distance is neither too far nor too close, and it will not be obvious, but it does not allow Feng Yugang to have more opportunities to approach them—he and Ge Xiaofei.

Speaking of Zhang Leilei, Jiang Yizhong didn't know her very well, but he also remembered that there were rumors and gossips in the small county at that time, so that as soon as his mother, Aunt Qian, had other good things to go out, there were people chasing after her. At that time, his mother's complexion was extremely pale. She was devastated by the matter of the youngest son, and with such a scandal, she was completely depressed.Aunt Qian was unhappy, so naturally she would not bear the unhappiness alone.So she ran to quarrel with Zhang Leilei, said many nasty things, and broke off the engagement with Zhang Leilei's family on her own initiative... In the end, Zhang Leilei really couldn't stay in this county, so she went to another place.As for whether she was with Feng Yugang or not, Jiang Yizhong was actually not too sure.

Jiang Yizhong looked at his younger brother's appearance and said, "Mom is also thinking about you, so don't make her sad."

"She thinks about me?" Jiang Yiming snorted coldly, and said, "She just treats me as her appendage, her puppet, and her possessions! When will she really think about me? She's obviously doing it for herself!" The more Jiang Yiming spoke, the more excited he became, his face turned red, he didn't give Jiang Yizhong a chance to speak, and continued: "Since I was a child, she has always been very tolerant to me, actually. In fact, I just want to firmly control me in her palm like this. When I was a child, no matter how nonsense I was, she always said it was okay, even if I beat other children to bleed, she would never say Let me tell you something. Later, when I didn’t study hard, she was happy with me. If I didn’t do well in the exam, she would go to the teacher to give gifts. If she could pass the water, she would pass the water and barely got the high school diploma. Just like me, of course I couldn’t pass the exam. University, if I can’t get into university, she fulfilled her wish, trapped me in this small place, under her nose for the rest of my life, and lived according to her wishes. But she may not know that she is hurting me by indulging me ... I don't want to abide by the so-called rules, which led to me becoming what I am today, isn't it due to her? She let me walk around step by step..."

Jiang Yizhong fell silent, he never expected that this younger brother whom he admired so much would say such a thing.The pampering that he envied in his heart, here, turned out to be like sex, making his younger brother gnash his teeth and hate him.

"Brother, do you know? In fact, I planned to accept my fate and just live my life casually like this." Jiang Yiming suddenly slowed down his speech and said, "But after Lei Lei came back, she made me feel that I There is still hope, maybe I can do something big. When I was young, I liked her. She is the only girl who is not afraid of my mother. Once she came to play with me, my mother told her Not like a good girl, I don't know how to be reserved, I thought she would be angry and never come to our house again, but she just raised her face and said to Mom, 'Auntie, you are wrong, if I am not a good girl, I will not Come and play with him!' At that time, I saw the expression on my mother's face, and I felt very happy. Brother, you know that I have been doing nothing all day for so many years. It seems that I can do anything I want, but in fact, that It's all superficial, only I know in my heart that everything I have is not mine, it's our mother's, I can't defy her, I can only live under her shadow, once I leave her control, I have nothing. I asked Lei Lei, if one day I have nothing, would she still be willing to be with me, she said, she doesn’t care about these so-called properties at all, if one day I have nothing, she will be with me Go out to see the world, go out to work and travel at the same time. Later, something happened to me, Lei Lei was afraid that I would not think about it, she said she would wait for me, as long as I was well, she could afford to wait..." Jiang Yiming said with red eyes .

Jiang Yizhong heard another Zhang Leilei from his brother's words. No matter how vulgar that woman is in the eyes of outsiders, in front of his brother, she is a woman with a sincere heart and a true temperament. People who join hands for life.Jiang Yizhong believed that if this accident hadn't happened, maybe his younger brother would slowly change for this woman and become a capable and independent person.Unfortunately, things are impermanent.

"I really don't want to see Mom's face anymore, brother." Jiang Yiming took a deep breath, trying to control the tears in his eyes, "I never thought that I hate her so much in my heart, maybe it's not like me. Being mad at her for driving Lei Lei away is just an excuse, in fact, I may have hated her since I was very young, even though she has done so much for me, I still...I still don't want to see her."

"Calm down first." Jiang Yizhong looked at his younger brother as if his emotions were about to collapse, and said, "I heard people say that A is honey, and B is □□. I really realized it." He said with a helpless smile, and continued: "I have been very envious of you since I was a child, and everyone likes you, especially my mother. I used to think that I picked it up, but you are My own, that's why my mother is so partial. Even when my father passed away, my mother didn't ask me to come back to see my father for the last time, not to mention those extraneous things, but to arrange for my father's funeral. Mom didn't let me intervene at all. But she took you around... I looked at you, envious to death. But for you, these are burdens, really too strange, why did we become like this? Mom doesn't love me, I know, but I always want to get her approval and love; Mom loves you too much, but her doting on you has hurt you and made you feel painful... How could it have become like this? If Dad still Now, what would he say? He may scold you, or he may not, but he must be very distressed, why are his two sons like this? "

"You envy me? Brother, you've got it wrong. I envy you." Jiang Yiming wiped away his tears with his sleeve on the other side of the glass, and his usual cynical expression appeared on his face again, saying: "You have been They are good students, they are their pride, they have been admitted to university, and they are college students. As for me, I am nothing. Also, about dad..." He stopped suddenly, and continued for a long time before continuing, "Dad's The thing is that I'm sorry for you, my mother always wanted to give me everything, and I was too selfish at the time... I should let you come back, I know, you won't fight with me since you were a child, as long as I say, You will let me..."

Jiang Yizhong listened, and said with a wry smile: "Because my parents like you, I want to please them, so I can only let you go. Besides, I am just a graduate of a third-rate university. In fact, I am nothing at all, and I am not worthy of your envy." .”

"But you are free." Jiang Yiming said, "At that time, I saw that you could do what you wanted to do, and you could go where you wanted to go."

"Isn't it still back now?" Jiang Yizhong waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, many things are in the past. I see a lot now, compared to always staring at Mom's face, If you want to be loved, it is better to look away and look at other people in the world. The world is so big, there is always someone who can love others like you have feelings for Zhang Leilei, instead of waiting blindly Love. Love that can’t be waited for, there is really no need to make yourself sad. I am living a much happier life now than before. The me you envied before is actually not happy at all.”

"Brother, compared to you, am I too selfish? On the one hand, I enjoy the benefits everyone has given me, but at the same time I am tired of the bondage with them." Jiang Yiming calmed down, and he stroked the stubble on the top of his head.

"Who isn't like that?"

The two became quiet again, and after a while, Jiang Yiming said, "Brother, can I trouble you with something, help me find out about Leilei's situation..."

"it is good."

"Also, I really don't want to see my mother recently. You go back and tell her, and I will tell you when I want to see her. "

"Well, I see."

Jiang Yiming looked at his elder brother Jiang Yizhong and smiled gratefully, without thanking him. He never thought before that there would be such a day when the two brothers would say such things in such an environment.

"Brother, I heard that you are doing a good job in the company now."

"I just started doing it, and I don't know if it will work, but I will try my best to do it well."

"Well, come on!" Jiang Yiming laughed, "Sure enough, I should let you come."

"Don't say that, you reform inside, and when you come out, there are still many things waiting for you to do!"

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled. How many years have passed, there was a family of four, and now the rest should work harder so that the dead can rest in peace.

"By the way, brother, there is one more thing. I asked my mother to help me do it before, and I don't know if she did it. Please help me to see."

"what's up?"

"A little thing."

In City A, in a cafe, Liu Hao was sitting on a seat waiting for someone.

After a while, a person sat across from him.

It was none other than Liu Minhui.

"Brother Liu, what can I do for you this time?" Liu Hao asked with a playful smile.

Liu Minhui didn't speak, and handed his mobile phone to Liu Hao.

The phone displayed a picture of a woman.

"What does it mean?"

"I would like to ask you a little favor..." Liu Minhui said as he took back the phone, "For you, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone."

"You won't ask me to do something outrageous, will you?" Liu Hao looked alert.

Liu Minhui smiled and said, "If something really hurts nature and reason, will you do it?"

Liu Hao glanced at Liu Minhui, swallowed, and asked, "Isn't it illegal?"
