Reborn sparrow becomes phoenix

Chapter 102 The poor don't need to lock the door
Seeing them approaching, the old lady retreated into the alley again, and then stopped to talk to them, "I just heard you asked about Da Niu's house, right?"

"Yes, aunt, do you know Li Zhiming? Oh, that's Daniel." Hui Ye asked.

"I know, why don't I know each other? I have been neighbors with their family for so many years, and I watched him and his sister grow up." The old lady said, and suddenly said in doubt: "Who are you guys? ? Didn’t I hear that there are relatives like you in Daniel’s family?”

"Auntie, I am..."

"Auntie, we are counselors in the prison where Daniel is serving his sentence. We haven't seen anyone visit him for many years. Let's visit his house." Before Hui Ye finished speaking, Xing Ye hurriedly said.

Huiye was taken aback and then understood Xingye's meaning. In ordinary people's understanding, there are no good people in prison, and they will look at people who have been released after serving their sentences with some perverted eyes. There must be a grudge in the old lady's heart.

"Yes." Hui Ye continued Xing Ye's words, "Li Zhiming is doing very well in prison and will be released soon."

The old lady said, "Are you all from the government? Daniel is coming back?"

Xingye nodded, not wanting the old lady to get entangled in their identities, so she hurriedly asked, "Didn't that just now be from Da Niu's family?"

"Oh," the old lady sighed, and said, "That was originally Daniu's family, but since something happened to their family, Dayu is gone, and Daniel is in jail, leaving his mother and his grandma, his grandma He was also sick and had no money to see a doctor, so he sold the house, and now the house has been rebuilt by another family.”

"Where is the big cow's mother? What the sister-in-law said just now can't be true?" Xingye asked quickly.

The old lady poohed outside first, and then said: "Listen to that girl's nonsense, Daniu's grandma just left a few days ago, hey, I can't see Daniel coming out, and she was still talking about Daniel before she died. What a pity! Daniu’s mother is still in good health, and the accidents of these years have almost dragged her down. Grandma Da Niu needed money when she was sick, so she really couldn’t sell the house. She lived alone in the village. I live in the old dilapidated barn, life is hard!"

"Then how did that sister-in-law die just now?" Xingye asked suspiciously.

"She is the daughter-in-law of the bastard who bullied Dayu back then. Naturally, I won't tell you. The whole family is nothing, and they bully others because of how many brothers and sisters they have. If anyone looks at Da Niu's mother pitifully and wants to help, they Just went to someone’s house to make trouble, so that no one in the village dared to talk to Da Niu Ma,” the old lady said angrily, “This house is simply robbed, they won’t let it be sold to others, and anyone who dares to buy it will dare to buy it.” Going to buy someone’s house, no one dared to buy it, forcing Daniu’s mother to sell it to his family, not only for less money, but also to beg his family.”

Xingye and Huiye peeped at each other, it seemed to be worse than what I thought.

Xingye and the two found the old warehouse in the village along the road told by the old lady. They saw a row of four or five adobe houses, and the roofs of three of them had collapsed. Only the two on the west seemed intact, without courtyard walls. There is no gate, and a small courtyard is surrounded by a very low fence with tree branches inserted in front, where a few pieces of clothes with patches are drying in the cool.

Hui Ye walked into the courtyard first, the paint on the wooden door was peeling off, the door was deformed and couldn't be closed at all, it was just concealed so that people could see into the room at a glance.

"Isn't there?" Xingye looked around.

"The door is not locked, so people should not be far away." Hui Ye looked at the half-covered door, reached out and pushed gently, and the door opened in response.

The room is small and dark inside. Xingye stood at the door and looked in. There was a wooden bed in the corner, two sets of old quilts were folded on the bed, and an incense burner and photos were placed on an old square table. In the photo was a thin woman. The old lady here is probably Daniu’s grandma. A long bench is placed beside the table, and a wooden board is laid on the floor in a corner of the room. On the wooden board are several bags, which should be food and the like. There is nothing else in the room.

Turning around to look at another room, there is no door, the center of the roof has been exposed to the sky, and there are simple kitchen utensils inside. Xingye went in and walked around, and saw half a bowl of black pickles and even some green vegetables by the stove. No leaves were seen.

Xingye sighed, and said to Huiye: "This kind of home, even if the door is not locked, there is nothing to lose."

Knowing that it is impossible for people to go far, Hui Ye found two wooden blocks in the yard, wiped them clean, and Xing Ye sat down, chatting and waiting for Daniu's mother.

Xingye sighed and said: "I thought our family was difficult enough, but I didn't expect it to be nothing compared to Daniu's family."

Hui Ye couldn't bear to look at everything in front of him, "Fortunately, Daniel is about to come out, so it's good to come out, let his mother have something to rely on."

Xingye shook his head, how could it be so simple, "Daniu will have nothing if he comes back here! Oh, there may be a few acres of land, but how long will they be able to build a new house and live a good life with these alone? Seeing the arrogance of that family, I was afraid that Daniu would know that his mother had been angry all these years, and if his temper got up, something might happen! Even if Daniel endured the anger and lived in peace, the other party would let him Is he better? That is the revenge of killing his father! How can it be so easy to forget. "

After listening to Xingye's analysis, Hui Ye also felt that it made sense. He knew Daniel himself well, and if he was pushed any further, he would still make a big mistake.

"Xingye, how much money do you have with you?" Huiye asked suddenly.

Xingye understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, "Do you want to leave some money for Big Niu Mama?"

Hui Ye nodded, "We are not safe now, but we can help if we can!"

Xingye counted out 500 yuan in the bag and handed it to Huiye, "I still have the money, I'm afraid the big cow mother won't want it if there is too much money, give her these first, it should be enough for her to live for three months, when we have a chance Come see her again."

Hui Ye smiled and said, "It's still you girls who are careful and considerate."

But Xingye took out another envelope from his bag, "Brother, it's inconvenient for you to have no money with you, you take this first."

Hui Ye took it and opened it, and inside was 2000 yuan in cash and a CCB savings card.

This was specially prepared by Xingye, and it took a lot of brainstorming for it. If there is too much cash, Huiye will not want it. Get him a bank card, and he can transfer money to the card at any time. "You keep the cash for pocket money. There is still some money on the card, you can use it, and the password is your birthday."

Hui Ye silently put the cash into his pocket, but he refused to take the savings card, "I will keep the money, but I don't need this card, so you should keep it for yourself!"

Xingye put the card directly into Huiye's pocket, and held Huiye's hand, "Brother, we brothers and sisters don't need to say anything, mine is yours, and it doesn't matter who you put it in. These are I'll prepare it for you in case of emergency, if you want me to feel at ease, then accept it."

Kaguya stared into Xingye's eyes, Xingye's face was full of seriousness, she knew that Kaguya's heart was struggling, but she couldn't let go, if she softened at this moment, it would be more difficult later, finally Kaguya let go of her hand.

"Okay, I accept it"

Xingye smiled gratifiedly, Huiye said in his heart, even for your reassuring smile, I will accept it too!

An old woman with gray hair came into the yard with a basket of wild vegetables on her back. When she saw Xingye and the two sitting in the yard, she put down the basket and asked hoarsely, "Who are you looking for?"

Hui Ye and the two quickly got up and asked, "Are you Li Zhiming's mother?"

The woman stood there in a daze, as if she was trying to remember who Li Zhiming was.

Hui Ye and Xing Ye looked at each other, this aunt didn't even forget her son's name, did she?
Hui Ye said again: "It's Daniel, Li Zhiming's nickname is Daniel, do you know him?"

The dazed old man suddenly reacted, with tears in his cloudy eyes, and wept, "Da Niu? Li Zhiming? How could I not know, that's my son! My miserable son!"

"Auntie, please sit here first!" Seeing that the old man was excited, Hui Ye quickly helped the old man to sit down, and then said: "Auntie, we are friends of Daniel, he asked us to come and see you."

"Daniu, my Daniel, is he alright? Is he alright?" The old man held Kaguya's arm tightly.

"Auntie, he is fine, his sentence has been commuted, he will be released a year ago, and you will be able to see your son soon." Hui Ye said loudly.

"My big cow will be back for the Chinese New Year? I'm not dreaming, am I?" the old man asked Hui Ye in disbelief.

Hui Ye smiled and said, "It's not a dream, Big Mom is real."

"Really? Okay, really, okay!" She let go of Kaguya, wiped the tears she shed with her sleeve, as if she just realized the existence of Kaguya and the others, looking at Kaguya and staring at Starry Night , asked cautiously, "Are you friends of Daniel? How could he have decent friends like you?"

Hui Ye was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Aunt, I won't hide it from you. I lived in the same cell with Daniel for three and a half years. I just came out today. This is my sister. I promised Daniel to come to see you, so I came to you when I didn't go home."

Obviously Da Niu's mother didn't expect that Hui Ye, who was dressed up and energetic, had just been released from prison, and thought that he would come to see her for Da Niu without even returning home. This kind of friendship is not light!

"Thank you for coming to see me, and thank you for taking care of Da Niu." Da Niu's mother stood up, "You wait, I'm going to boil water, there is no hot water at home, how can I entertain guests."

Hui Ye hurriedly stopped her, "Don't worry about it, Auntie. Speaking of which, Daniu is like my elder brother. He has taken care of me more these past few years. Just treat me like a nephew."

Big Niu Ma was even more embarrassed, "I'll borrow a few eggs and cook for you, but I really don't have anything good to entertain you, or..."

At this moment, a naughty and frivolous man's voice came from outside, "Li Laoshi's family, I heard from my wife that there is a big girl coming to your house, who is more juicy than Dayu back then, come out and let us have a look, you My relatives! I didn’t know there was a murderer in your family, so I dared to come here.”

Da Niu Ma's face became very ugly, Hui Ye frowned, stood up slowly, and saw a man in his thirties standing not far from the fence, shirtless, wearing a shirt, standing there with his shoulders folded , said strange things in his mouth.

Xingye stood up, "It should be the pregnant woman's husband, the son of the man who forced Dayu to death."

Da Niu Ma also stood up, "It's that bastard."
