i'm not a bad man

Chapter 586
I have confirmed that the middle-aged woman standing opposite is Zou Chang's mother. I saw her in a dream yesterday, but the real her is different from the one in the dream. She in the dream has her own She even suggested buying a house in Gejiu, but in reality, she seemed a little dull and drifted...

Only then did I remember that Zou Chang once told me that because of the unexpected death of Zou Chang’s father, she was so mentally stimulated that her temperament changed drastically and she didn’t like to talk. She only retained some basic living abilities. Therefore, for a long time, she It was Zou Chang's aunt in the countryside who was taking care of her.

Seeing her at a loss because she couldn't find me, I felt inexplicably sad. Then I thought of Luan Yu's mother. Their fates were very similar. The only difference was that one was a man-made disaster and the other was a disaster. It's a natural disaster.

Zou Chang's father was killed, and Luan Yu's father died because of a serious illness. Therefore, all the pain was left to them who were still alive.

I couldn't help but feel pity, and I became more determined to protect Zou Chang. As long as Zou Chang could successfully take her to a new life, even if she still couldn't get rid of the tragedy in her fate, at least she would still have the warmth of dependence.

……

After thinking about this, I finally said to Ren Ran who was still waiting for me to speak on the other end of the phone: "Sister Ran, I still have some things to deal with here. Let's talk later."

"Okay, your brother and I are also going to Qingdao to pick up your parents and Chaochao."

"Then go directly from Qingdao to Phuket?"

"It's also possible to stay in Qingdao for a few days..." After a pause, Ren Ran asked again: "Do you want to go to Qingdao too?"

My heart was filled with a sense of urgency. This sense of urgency left me no time to care about anything else. I immediately replied: "I won't go. After I calm down, I will go to Phuket to find you..."

After saying that, without waiting for Renran's reply, he hung up the phone, then immediately opened the car door and walked towards Zou Chang's mother who was standing opposite me.

……

"Is it Aunt Min? I'm Zou Chang's friend. My name is Han Chao. She should have told you on the phone."

Then she looked up at me, still with a dull expression...

Just when I thought she wouldn't talk to me, she smiled and said, "Are you Changchang's friend?"

"Well, I will take you to Zhengzhou to meet Zou Chang later. She has already made arrangements."

"Am I going to leave here from now on?"

"Yes, Zou Chang said he would take you to live in a different city... Don't worry, I have been to that place called Jiujiu before. It is a quiet and comfortable small city. You will like it there."

"As long as I can be with Changchang, I can go anywhere."

Her cheerfulness was somewhat beyond my expectation, so I was stunned for a moment before I took the luggage from her hand. Then, while opening the trunk of the car, I said to her: "Then you stay in the car with me first." Wait for a while, and when Zou Chang arrives at the airport, we will set off. We should arrive in Zhengzhou around the same time as her."

"Will Changchang call you later?"

"Yes, we have made an appointment. She will call me when she arrives at the airport."

"Then when you call, let me also say a few words to her... Usually, she always says that she is busy, and I am afraid of disturbing her, so I don't dare to call her more."

I stopped putting my luggage and turned to look at her. There was a kind of longing in her eyes.

I felt incredible because of this. Talking a few words with my daughter on the phone turned out to be a desire. But I couldn't blame Zou Chang. I knew her helplessness. It was probably because of her status as a bartender. And she felt ashamed of her mother, so sometimes she stopped communicating even if she could.

Zou Chang's mother seemed to understand my emotions. She was afraid that I might misunderstand Zou Chang, so she quickly explained: "Although she doesn't call me often, she always gives me money. She is very filial." !”

I smiled and replied: "Auntie, have you forgotten that you had a phone call with Zou Chang last night? If she didn't explain it to you on the phone, how could we meet here?"

"That's not what I meant. She called me last night and hurriedly exchanged a few words. She hung up the phone before I even had time to talk to her... I have something to say to her." There was a pause. , she tentatively asked me again: "Don't you want me to talk to her too?"

"Of course not. I feel the same way as you, and I hope you can understand Zou Chang... Although she doesn't talk to you on the phone very often, she is always thinking about you in her heart. Otherwise, why would she take you to a new life with her?"

Zou Chang's mother was stunned for a while, and then said: "I won't say much, just remind her that the season is about to change, the weather is hot and cold, it is better to wear more clothes to get hot, than to wear less clothes to catch the cold... New Year's Eve I saw her in the county when she was in the hospital. On such a cold day, she just wore a short skirt and didn't know how to take care of herself."

Chatting with Zou Chang's mother is a bit tiring because she doesn't follow your logic, but even so, I can still understand what she means, because she only has Zou Chang in her heart, even if her logic is somewhat different. Ordinary people, but still can't skip the topic of Zou Chang... I raised my wrist, looked at my watch, nodded and replied: "Okay, it's almost time. Wait for her to call later. I'll give you the phone number. What do you want?" Say something to her, just say whatever you want.”

She thought for a while, but then said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't say it, we will meet in Zhengzhou soon."

……

While waiting, I lit a cigarette, then half-opened the car window, smoking while looking at the gradually denser flow of people on the street; Zou Chang's mother was sitting in the passenger seat, looking a little bored. , a moment later, he saw her taking out a photo album from the bag she carried with her and starting to look through it...

As I looked at it, I laughed out loud; out of curiosity, I turned to look at her and asked, "Aunt Min, do you have any interesting photos?"

She handed the photo album in front of me, and I leaned over to look at it. In the photo, I saw Zou Chang wearing a queen's clothes, with a mole between his eyebrows, and he looked about seven or eight years old.

"Do you think our Changchang looks like a queen?"

I nodded. In my memory, people of our era seemed to have a photo like this. The boy was wearing a dragon robe, and the girl was wearing a Xiapei and a phoenix crown...

I also smiled. The aesthetics of that era were indeed very interesting. What was interesting was not only the aesthetics, but also the obsession with hoping that one’s sons would succeed and that one’s daughters would succeed. In fact, the generation of [-]s and [-]s became the most mediocre generation. We are busy buying a house, busy paying off mortgages, busy getting married, and busy raising the next generation. We gradually lose ourselves, gradually lose ourselves, and even have no sincere love. Therefore, many friends around me only focus on marriage management. After a few years, they got divorced in a hurry, thinking that they could find someone better, but in the bad debts, they became more and more lost and worried.

……

I continued to look through the photos in the album, and I saw another photo of Zou Chang working at KFC. At that time, she looked very young, probably just entering college.

I didn’t know if Zou Chang had gone to college, so I asked, “Aunt Min, when was this work photo taken?”

"When Changchang was in college..."

"Then she works part-time at KFC?"

"No, she stopped going to school after her sophomore year..."

"what happened?"

"Didn't her father pass away? The family no longer has the financial conditions..."

"Didn't the driver compensate you at that time?"

Zou Chang's mother looked at me, and I quickly explained: "Zou Chang told me about my uncle."

Her expression was a little painful, so she was silent for a while before replying: "That driver works for Chang Tianming, so we will file a lawsuit with Chang Tianming. Chang Tianming is the richest man in our place. How can we win this lawsuit against him?" Ah, it must be said that your uncle violated the rules first, and ended up paying tens of thousands of yuan to settle the matter, which was just enough for the funeral expenses... Not long after, another man named Guan Yubo came out and took an IOU, saying that your uncle had borrowed it. He had 30. If he didn’t pay back the 30, he would take over our house... Changchang had no choice but to drop out of school and work. She first worked at KFC for a while, and then changed her job... What a pity. What's interesting is that she had a boyfriend at the time, and we all liked this boy... But she insisted that she didn't want to drag him down, so she broke up with her... Last year, this boy came to my house to find her and said that he had been detained in school to do his job. After marrying a university teacher, there is a way to let Changchang go back to school... In fact, letting her go back to school is the second best. It is true that she can't let go of this relationship... I don't know what Changchang thinks, she is unwilling to go with him life or death... Finally, the boy left, and she cried in her room all night... She didn't know what her destiny was, with so many things going on. When she was a child, I took her to the mountains to have her fortune told, and the Taoist priest said she was destined to be a queen. Woolen cloth……"

After saying that, Zou Chang's mother sighed and stopped talking.

There is a high probability that she does not know that Zou Chang is working as a bartender outside, so she does not know Zou Chang's difficulties and helplessness in giving up this relationship; and I feel extremely uncomfortable, this Guan Yubo is really He did many evil things, he almost crushed Zou Chang to pieces, and then stepped on him again.

……

The wind blew in violently through the car window, turning another page of the photo album. There was no Zou Chang in the photo on this page, only a room covered with cartoon stickers, and a pink bed in the room. .

This must be Zou Chang's room, and it was in such a childlike room that she wore the heaviest shackles and cried all night long...

Perhaps, it was that night that she completely accepted her fate and was willing to consider herself a barmaid, and all of this was given to her by Guan Yubo.

At this point, there are no pink beds or colorful stickers in her life, only the vicissitudes and pain of being drifted into the dust.

In fact, she is only the same age as Zuo Xiaowei, or even younger!
