It was time to go to work in the afternoon, and the pedestrians inside and outside the community looked in a hurry. Everyone's face was full of exhaustion, but they still had to run and be busy for the livelihood in front of them. But this time, Chen Liangshan was different from others. This was his
Walking slowly on this road for the first time, everything I looked at was filled with reluctance to let go of everything.
Unfortunately, when I first got married to Xiao Yanran, the first thing I saw was the name of the community here, "Rich Garden". They thought that their married life could be like this house, and they would become a "rich family" from then on.
, but never would have imagined that the owners here would be severely cheated by the developer when they finally handed over the property. Since then, Fugui Garden has become a "luxury-bearing" garden with property disputes all year round.
However, after so many years, in my simple 80-square-meter small tube house, the only thing that impressed me was the countless sad memories and the various unhappiness between the couple.
But now, even those unpleasant memories between the couple, the messy environment with garbage piled up everywhere in the community, and even the security guard at the gate of the community who was always in a state of drunkenness and dreams, began to become disturbing in Chen Liangshan's eyes.
Missing, reluctant to leave.
Maybe now, the only way to save Lin Aji is to take the initiative to put an end to all this.
Maybe Lin Aji will still be prosecuted by the police, but fortunately, the other party has not confessed anything inside. Chen Liangshan knows that there may be a last chance of survival for now, and he will take all the blame on himself.
, to find a way out for Lin Aji.
There were countless lives contaminated by his own hands. Chen Liangshan could certainly guess the outcome he would face, but just now, when he saw Lin Aji bearing the pain on his behalf, he had already made up his mind.
As a man, I cannot let the woman I love endure this pain for no reason.
Soon, Chen Liangshan returned home. When he opened the door that he had walked through countless times, he immediately smelled the familiar smell of "home".
This weekend, Xiao Yanran did not go to work as usual, but cooked fish soup for her daughter at home. When she was just pregnant, she had said that when the child grows up, she will eat fish at least once a week.
The home should be cleaned at least once, so that the children can grow up in a healthy environment and be smarter than other children.
At first, Chen Liangshan thought that the other party was just talking, but he did not expect that Xiao Yanran would continue this habit for 7 years since his daughter was three years old.
It was only now that Chen Liangshan suddenly realized that in the past seven years, the other party had never gone out to play on weekends once, and he never seemed to have any hobbies of his own.
Almost all that can be seen is Xiao Yanran busy cleaning the house at home and cooking for her children in just two days on the weekend.
Since Liu Xiaoyue left this home, the couple also decided to prepare a 49-day "reunion dinner" for their children. Therefore, Xiao Yanran would always leave an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks during meals, and at the same time, she would also give the original set to Xiaoyue.
The Iron Man model is placed next to the dishes and chopsticks. All these habits have not changed, as if the child is still at home.
"Nanny, get ready to eat!"
Xiao Yanran put on insulated gloves and brought out a small basin of fish soup from the kitchen. When she saw Chen Liangshan standing at the door of the living room, a look of displeasure quickly flashed in her eyes, and she didn't even want to say a word.
, but immediately turned his head and urged with an excuse: "Nanny, hurry up!"
Seeing that Xiao Yanran ignored him, Chen Liangshan also followed in, leaning against the refrigerator as usual, and asked in a low voice: "Are you still angry with me?"
The other party did not respond, but after pretending to be busy with his hands for a few times, he pinched the handle of the refrigerator door and said impatiently: "Get out of the way!"
Chen Liangshan stood aside apologetically, and then said again: "I'm sorry, I really did something wrong this time."
Seeing that the other party still ignored him, Chen Liangshan continued to explain himself.
——"Really, Yanran, believe me, I didn't realize that I really did something wrong until today."
——"My original thinking was too simple. I just wanted to prevent anyone from trying to take advantage of Xiaoyue's inheritance, so I added such a rule to the inheritance fund established for her."
——"I really didn't consider that Xiaoyue would have an accident at the time, but the result was that all of her inheritance was donated to the Beijiao Orphanage."
——"Okay, I admit that my thoughts at the time were indeed too naive and simple. I always thought that as long as I work hard, even if I don't rely on the inheritance that Xiaoyue inherited, I can still bring you better things in the future.
life."
——"But it was only after living for more than thirty years that I finally realized that the saying that hard work makes you rich is basically a lie."
There was a harsh sound of "dang", and Xiao Yanran suddenly threw the small steel basin in her hand into the vegetable washing pool. Then she heard the other party say with a cold face: "You really have lived such a long life in vain."
Obviously, Xiao Yanran was still worried about the distribution of Liu Xiaoyue's inheritance at this time, and Chen Liangshan knew that this was the worst thing he had done so far.
At first, he was worried that someone would care about Xiaoyue's inheritance, so when establishing a foundation for him, Chen Liangshan added a special rule, that is, if Liu Xiaoyue died in any accident, all the inheritance would be automatically donated.
In the northern suburbs orphanage, the place where she was raised.
Chen Liangshan's original intention was just to protect Xiao Yue from meeting someone like Liu Jianren again, but he never expected that the other party would end up having an accident because of him.
Now, that large sum of inheritance has been automatically donated to the construction of the orphanage in the northern suburbs, with dedicated personnel from the foundation responsible for supervising and managing it. The children who were raised by the old lady are finally living a life without having to work.
It’s a good day to have enough to eat and go to school.
Perhaps Chen Liangshan's move will inadvertently change the lives of some children, but for his family, it is undoubtedly a helpless ending. He left nothing for his wife and children, but eventually developed gradually
At this point, Xiao Yanran had no choice but to mortgage her house to get the money, even if it was her mother-in-law's life-saving money.
Chen Liangshan is in pain, as if he has tried very hard to live seriously and love the people around him, but things always go against his expectations. His life is like being possessed by an evil spirit, and he has precisely avoided every correct move.
, and finally ended up like this.
So ever since Xiaoyue's accident, Xiao Yanran has never had a good look towards her. Although Nannan doesn't understand what happened, she can still feel that her father has done something bad.
It is precisely because after this incident, her father seemed to have lost the tall and omnipotent status he had before in Nannan's mind.
The entire meal was spent in silence as a family, with only a few words from Xiao Yanran urging the children to drink more soup. The laughter and laughter of the four members of the family were no longer on the table.
Chen Liangshan sighed secretly in his heart. After living for more than thirty years, it was only today that he truly realized that poverty can really take away a family's happiness.
But there was not much time left for him, what was supposed to come would always come, and Chen Liangshan didn't even want to let Lin Aji be there to admit the pain for one more second on his behalf.
Then, Chen Liangshan put down the bowl and chopsticks and whispered: "Nanny, shall we go to the amusement park later?"
Hearing this, Nannan's little face suddenly showed a long-lost smile, and she said in disbelief: "Really...really?"
Seeing her father nodding in agreement, Nannan immediately smiled cheerfully and said, "Okay! Okay! Let's go after dinner!"
"What are you going to do!"
Xiao Yanran suddenly put the bowl and chopsticks on the table, and scolded her daughter with a straight face: "The final exam is coming soon, and the study task is so heavy now. You don't have enough time to sleep every day, so why go to the amusement park? Give it to me in the afternoon.
I’ll study hard at home!”
Seeing his daughter's frightened look, Chen Liangshan suddenly smiled and said: "Yanran, I have been studying hard for so many days, and I don't want to miss this afternoon. Can you go too? Okay?"
"If you say you won't go, you won't go! Are you done with it? Do you do these meaningless things all day long...you, what are you doing..."
Chen Liangshan didn't wait for Xiao Yanran to finish speaking, and suddenly held the other person's hand under the table. No matter how hard the other person struggled, he would not let go. In his eyes, he looked over with unusual sincerity and whispered: "That's it.
Once, okay?”
Nannan now only knew that her mother was angry with her father, but she didn't know why she was angry. When she saw her father's firm attitude, she immediately hugged Xiao Yanran's neck as usual, and said eagerly in a milky voice:
"That's right, that's right... just once! Just this time today! I promise to review it well in the evening when I come back from playing. Please mommy, um... please!"
Xiao Yanran only felt that her husband's attitude today was a bit strange, but she couldn't help but her daughter kept begging beside her, and finally sighed and said: "Eat quickly! Come back early after playing!"
Inside the house, Nanny's extremely excited screams suddenly came again.
