the gravity of the rainbow

Chapter 15 Murder Case
01
As a result, that Dr. Jiang never asked her out after seeing Rainbow Two Sides.

The first time we met was in a coffee shop. Dr. Jiang was slender, handsome, and gentle. He was the son of a middle-class professional worker in the city.

"What do Miss He usually like to do?" Dr. Jiang asked.

"read."

"I like it too. Ms. He's favorite book is..."

""Sherlock Holmes"."

"……Detective story?"

"Correct."

"Actually, for a highly educated intellectual woman like Ms. He, my suggestion is Milan Kundera, such as "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", or "The Tropic of Cancer" by Henry Miller..."

"Hehe, it's not my cup of tea."

But this does not prevent Dr. Jiang from explaining the outline and subtleties of these two books.For the rest of the time, Rainbow can only listen to her mother’s advice—"Successful men mostly just want to find a woman who is willing to be an audience"—except for making some approving remarks at critical moments, she always acts gentle, virtuous, and eager with her hands. Inspired by experts.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiang's reason for rejecting her was that she thought she was obsequious and had no personality, which made Rainbow so angry that he got hurt by Li Mingzhu: "I really can't do anything with you, I can't even pretend to be stupid! Forget it, okay We still have a reserve army. This time it’s Xiaojun from your Uncle Chen’s family. Do you remember, I was in the same kindergarten as you when I was young. You two are doing well. You two never fight when you play together. You can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. His mother Come and entrust me personally, so that the two of you must meet."

As soon as Rainbow closed his eyes, the image of a little boy with a runny nose and crotch pants appeared in his mind, and he was immediately disgusted, and said, "No see, no see, who are they?"

"Don't say that. Although your Uncle Chen's family has no proud family property, his Xiaojun graduated from the University of Science and Technology and works in the national defense research department. The salary of the army is good. As long as you get married, you can have a house, and you don't need to pay the mortgage Uncle Chen's house is not small, and there is an old house for rent in the North District, where the pension is guaranteed, and he will not move to your house to squeeze with you in the future." After finishing speaking, he sighed bitterly, " Alas, Rainbow, I really have nothing else to ask for, so don't be too ambitious, as long as you get married and have a place to live, and the two of you respect and love each other and live a solid life without being angry with your parents-in-law."

Under the coercion and lure of her mother, Rainbow agreed to meet Chen Xiaojun on Wednesday afternoon. Before that, Li Mingzhu had prepared a two-inch frontal photo of Chen Xiaojun's soldier for her to identify him.He is still a good-looking young man, but Rainbow looks left and right and upside down, and he can't get rid of his runny nose and running around behind him in crotch pants when he was a child.Just as he was thinking of finding an excuse to decline, Han Qing received an emergency call from Han Qing as soon as he left the house, saying that he would accompany the boss to meet a client temporarily, and asked Caihong to go to the kindergarten to pick up Duoduo.Rainbow used this as an excuse to cancel the appointment.Over there, Chen Xiaojun was probably very well prepared. When someone put a dove on the phone, his tone immediately turned sour, and he said right away that he didn't need to see each other again.

Rainbow hung up the phone amidst a series of "I'm sorry", and went straight to the kindergarten to pick up Duoduo and go to Han Qing's house.

This is not the first time Han Qing has troubled Rainbow.Since working, Han Qing has insisted on picking up and dropping off a lot every day, so that Xia Feng can focus on finding a job without distraction.Soon, the company asked her to take the driver's license test, and gave her a small Toyota with a half-buy, half-gift, and she was the one who picked up the children.When things were urgent and Xia Feng couldn't be found, Han Qing would call Caihong, and specially left her a house key for this reason.

It turned out that it was rush hour, and Rainbow and Duoduo were trapped on the bus for almost an hour.When he went upstairs and opened the door, he was stunned: Xia Feng was at home!And the house is surprisingly messy!Toys and papers were piled on the floor, and the morning porridge and two leftover steamed buns were spread on the table.Dirty clothes were piled up on the sofa, a floor of the shoe cabinet collapsed, and the shoes fell and blocked the door, making Rainbow unable to open it for a long time.The computer screen in the living room was turned on, and Xia Feng was playing video games enthusiastically with headphones on.

"Xia Feng, are you at home?" Rainbow asked Duoduo to the sink to wash his hands.

"Yes, there is an interview in the morning, it's only an hour, and I'll be back at noon." Xia Feng took off his earphones, went to the refrigerator and took out a can of Coke for Rainbow, "It's strange, I'm obviously at home, why did Han Qing bother you again ?”

"I said I called you, but no one answered the landline or mobile phone. She couldn't answer because of something, so she had to find me."

Xia Feng patted his head and said "Oh": "It's my fault, I've been wearing earphones, but I didn't hear anything... I'm sorry, I always trouble you, please sit down."

Rainbow looked at the clock on the wall, and remembered that her mother might still be at home waiting for her blind date reply, so she shook her head: "I won't sit down any longer, Han Qing said she would come back as soon as possible."

Xia Feng was not reluctant, and sent her to the porch, his eyes fell on her small bag: "Is this handbag given to you by Han Qing?"

Rainbow nodded and smiled: "Why, can't bear to do it for her?"

"Do you know how much it's worth?"

"do not know."

"Six thousand dollars."

"Hey, you did a good job as a spy." Rainbow felt that there was something in his words, "Why, do you have an opinion? Then I don't dare to ask for it, and I will return it to you now. Cut, don't talk about this package of six thousand dollars, ten thousand I don't care about dollars."

"I didn't mean that, of course she should give it to you." Xia Feng's expression was very strange, "She should really thank you, thank you for letting her know Mr. Qin."

Rainbow let out a "chi" laugh, and patted him: "Xia Feng, you have too much heart. Han Qing is not this kind of person, and Qin Wei will not fall in love with her."

"Don't you think that Han Qing has changed a lot since he joined that Zhu Mu company?" Xia Feng said.

"Can't she change? New jobs and new challenges. If you don't learn, make progress, or change yourself, how can you cope with the high-paced work of such a technology company?"

"I don't mean this aspect, I mean values, money, and her attitude towards me." Xia Feng folded her arms and sneered, "She wears famous brands, heavy makeup, and expensive jewelry every day. Draw eyebrows and draw eyes, every move is like a lady! I attract clients every day in the advertising department, and I don’t move like her every day. It’s a fashionable dinner or dinner with guests. People like Qin Wei have a company of secretaries, so he doesn’t need it that much Han Qing, okay? Do you think she's really a secretary? I think it's almost like Xiaomi!"

Rainbow crossed his waist in anger: "Xia Feng, can you wake up? Don't blame your wife for the frustration of job hunting. Han Qing did this just to earn money to support his family and do his job well. I think There is nothing wrong with it. But you, you beat your wife at every turn, which is completely shameful! Xia Feng, as an old classmate, I want to advise you, don’t be suspicious. I am making a lot of noise to marry you. You have a good income now, you have a car, a house, and children. You are already luckier than most young people in this city. Let's live a good life, please don't make things difficult Han Qing."

What he said made Xia Feng speechless.

Rainbow sighed and said, "Duo Duo is hungry, go and make him something to eat."

"Han Qing is coming back soon." Xia Feng walked back to the computer and put on the earphones. "Cooking is her business."

Rainbow looked at his watch, it was almost seven o'clock.Looking at Xia Feng again, his head was shaking with the music, the mouse was beeping, and the gun battle was fierce on the screen.Rainbow scolded in his heart: Xia Feng, Xia Feng, Han Qing is so tired at work, but you are at home every day, can't you cook a meal for her?That cavity was full of fire, and I really wanted to hit him with my shoes.With a glance, Duoduo sat on the floor and suddenly cried.She rushed over and found that his pants were wet, and quickly found dry clothes to change for him.

At this moment, Han Qing came into the house with a sound of the iron door, holding a big paper bag in his arms, sweating all over his head.

"I am back!"

Rainbow breathed a sigh of relief: "Duoduo has picked it up, I'm leaving."

"No, no, let's go after eating!" Han Qing put the paper bag on the table, and took out a bunch of vegetables from it: potatoes, lotus root, sausage, dried tofu, and a pack of braised chicken wings, "Rainbow, sit down, Wait for me, I will cook right away. You are not allowed to leave today without eating!"

Rainbow had no choice but to follow the kitchen and said, "Let me help you."

Han Qing warmed up a bowl of meat porridge for Duoduo first, then turned on the TV for him to watch, and then went to the kitchen with Rainbow to cook.Seeing his wife coming home, Xia Feng just nodded to her, then put on the headphones and continued playing the game.

"Can't you just buy some fast food when you're so busy?" Rainbow said, "How hard it is to cook for yourself when you're so tired."

"How can you eat fast food? Huh? When did you see me eating fast food? It's extremely unhealthy!" Han Qing plausibly said, "Even if adults can be so sloppy, they can't let children eat like this. Let's talk about this kind of thing, Children are really addicted to eating, so don't let Duoduo touch it."

In terms of housework, Han Qing is really fast, he cut the potato shreds in lightning speed, and took out the meat from the refrigerator, "Look, the busier you are, the more efficient you are. The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to have dinner What, meat, fish, and meatballs all need to be thawed in advance, otherwise it will be too late when I come back at night, so I can only eat vegetarian. My family can't stand it, and every meal must have meat. "

After all, Han Qing pouted at Xia Feng in front of the computer.

"What's going on?" Rainbow asked softly, "Xia Feng is in such a bad mood recently?"

"Anxiety, depression, mania, persecutory paranoia, in short, unemployment syndrome...what else?" She wiped the sweat from her brow and sighed.

"Do you want to see a psychiatrist... Will you guys be unable to communicate? - Alas! I feel wronged for you." Rainbow couldn't help complaining.

"He is very suspicious recently. I went to the phone company to pay the bill, and the person in charge said that he had checked all my mobile phone text messages and call records. It's funny, am I, Han Qing, the kind of person who sneaks around? If I really like that kind of person, How could he fall in love with him in the first place? Now, I just beg him not to quarrel with me. I will take care of the children and housework. I don’t want him to take care of it. He doesn’t care. People who never do housework will fly away The dog jumps, and even vents his anger on the child when he is upset. I can't bear it, I would rather be tired and relax."

Rainbow hesitated for a moment, and said, "He sees that your salary has risen so fast, and you are equipped with a small car and given red envelopes. Does he suspect that you have some improper relationship with Qin Wei?"

"Me and Qin Wei?" Han Qing smiled, "Do you know that Qin Wei is—"

"I heard about it."

"My God! So it's true?"

"Hush! Hush! You don't want a job anymore! This is just a legend... Qin Wei never touches women."

"So you said, isn't Xia Feng's suspicion ridiculous?"

"I think he is mentally unbalanced. When he finds a high-paying job, just wait and see, he will immediately calm down and won't pick on you again." Looking at the two obvious dark circles on Han Qing's face, Rainbow feels distressed "Don't work too hard. This Qin Wei is real, how can he make you work overtime? You're really a capitalist!"

"Don't say that, he's pretty good. This guy, he's very flamboyant, and every detail of what he does is true. But believe it or not, he looks light and mysterious like a typical rich second generation, but he is actually A true workaholic. He wakes up at [-] o'clock every morning and arrives at the office at [-] o'clock. He can work until midnight when everyone else is tired. He is still in good spirits, as if he just came back from watching a movie. This It’s hard not to admire this kind of professionalism, or make a lot of money! The work is really done bit by bit.”

"I'm a bachelor, so don't worry about it!"

"He used me very much. At first he only asked me to do some work like a secretary, but now he even let me intervene in financial matters. He also said that next year he would send me abroad for training and come back to be a department head."

"Oh! Doesn't that mean that you will be raised again?" Han Qing burst into a smile when he mentioned Qin Wei, and Rainbow had no choice but to join in the fun.

"Money is a trivial matter. The main reason is that I suddenly discovered that I have great potential and management acumen. Maybe I can learn more from him. In a few years, I will start my own company and do it alone..." The more she spoke, the more confident she became. , shaking his head.

"Wow! You surprised me. I didn't expect such a wonderful turning point in your life!" Caihong happily patted her on the shoulder, "Hurry up and get rich, Xia Feng really doesn't want to work so let him retire early Go ahead. Do whatever you want, just for your hobby, not for making money, how great it is.”

"That's right!" Han Qing whispered, "I persuaded Xia Feng, didn't he always want to be a literary youth? Didn't he like to write poems? When I have money, he doesn't have to work and he can be a professional poet. No one gave him a collection of poems, I gave him a collection of poems, and I made them beautifully, so that he will be as famous as Li Bai and Du Fu through the ages."

"That won't work. Didn't you say that—"poetry is poor and then you can work"—he won't be able to work if you are not poor."

"I didn't see him working when I was poor."

The two laughed together while chopping vegetables.

After dinner, Han Qing drove Caihong home. On the way, Caihong said, "Why don't I find Donglin and ask him to find a job with a higher salary for Xia Feng?"

"Do you still need to look for it? Our company has a vacancy now, not in the headquarters, but in the second-level department. Tell him to let him go, but he will not go, saying that he can't be my subordinate. Even if he goes, I dare not Guaranteed that Qin Wei will want him. Qin Wei is a man who never shows affection when talking about business. Yesterday he fired two department managers in front of me. You said that Xia Feng has such a temper, even if he enters the company, he will do it. Soon."

"Then what should we do? Can you bear his current state? Look at him, he doesn't say a word from the beginning to the end of the meal, as if he hates his own chopsticks."

After a moment of silence, Han Qing let out a long sigh: "We had another fight two days ago. Duoduo was unhappy this time, and bit him angrily. This father was really cruel, so he kicked him over. Now, the child's back is still blue." Her voice suddenly trembled, "I'm so scared. When I got home at night, he didn't pay much attention to me, and he slept with my back on his back when he went to bed, as if he had a deep hatred against me. "

Rainbow couldn't help but said: "Han Qing, it's not safe for you to live with him now. Why don't you let Duoduo come to my house for a few days? Then you choose a day to have a good talk with Xia Feng?"

"Stop talking, don't we talk too little? We started arguing while we were talking, and hit people every now and then." Han Qing pinched the steering wheel hard, "I hated myself even when I beat him! Don't you have any temper in front of you? Rainbow... To tell you the truth, I have been thinking about breaking up with him these days, and we really can't go on."

Rainbow turned to look at her: "Break up? You mean—"

"Divorce." Han Qing looked ahead intently, "I have already consulted with a lawyer and drafted an agreement. If he touches him again, I will resolutely divorce. A mother can't even protect her own children. Mother?"

In an instant, the air seemed to be compressed and suffocating.

Han Qing's silhouette gradually became hard in Rainbow's field of vision.She felt that Han Qing's change was reasonable, yet unbelievable.

"Did you mention the divorce to him?"

"I mentioned it. I couldn't talk to him properly. He went crazy when he heard it. That day I went to work with injuries all over my body. The boss found out that I had domestic violence and wanted to call the police. I stopped the boss desperately." When I got home, Xia Feng apologized to me again, wept bitterly and knelt down to criticize, and then hugged Duoduo." Han Qing sighed, "My heart has softened again, so I have tossed and tossed several times like this. I suffer Unbelievable, the child also suffers! I am really disappointed, even now, I still have fantasies about him..."

"Han Qing, he has treated you like this more than once," Caihong said, "I don't think he can change it. Maybe he will get more and more outrageous. You have to fix it quickly."

Han Qing turned around with a smile and said, "Look at you, success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He. You were the most enthusiastic light bulb at the beginning, and now you are the one who stopped and called the brakes. Let me tell you, even if it is a divorce, you must leave in a civilized and divorced way." It’s so romantic that it’s not in vain for our original friendship. So I quietly signed up for a tour group and took Xia Feng along: a ten-day tour of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, five-star hotels, Thai massage, ladyboy shows, water sports The mosque... I wrote your address, and I will collect it for me when the time comes. Whether he is willing to go with me is the same thing, and my heart is here. Just wait until the work is over for a while, go out with him, and casually divorce Let’s have a good talk about the matter. Don’t engage in revolution, don’t engage in vandalism and looting, live in peace, and solve it non-violently. After all, they are husband and wife for several years and have a child, so it’s better to get together and break up.”

"I admire your magnanimity, it's romantic to be beaten up like this," Caihong couldn't laugh or cry, "Be careful Xia Feng got angry when he heard this, and threw you into the sea!"

"At this point, I'm willing to go all out. It's all for Duoduo's custody." Han Qing said flatly, "He will definitely try his best to grab it from me, and I divorced for Duoduo—so I am determined to win it."

02
Back home, Rainbow tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep because of Han Qing's affairs. First, she felt wronged for her, and second, she couldn't figure it out.She still remembers the time when they fell in love at the beginning, the tenderness was like water, the wedding was like a dream, they were really a fairy couple that everyone envied.It's a pity that after leaving school, they couldn't stand the blow of reality, and the beautiful marriage was shattered like this.

"So, you can't marry a Phoenix man, unless you want to be Han Qing's second." Li Mingzhu came up with a conclusion.

During the six months when Ji Huang was never mentioned, Han Qing and Xia Feng were the bad examples Li Mingzhu talked about.As usual, Rainbow will definitely refute whenever he encounters such remarks.This time she finally admitted that her mother's words made sense, and Han Qing and Xia Feng were very sad because of this.

So she didn't bother to quarrel with her mother: "Leave as long as you leave, I won't persuade you any more, maybe Han Qing will be beaten into a disability by him."

"That's right! These boys from the countryside, don't look at their sweet lips and know how to please others, but they are actually very patriarchal in their bones. Especially Xia Feng, who grew up under the violence of adults when he was a child, naturally thinks that violence is the best way to solve problems. Jiafamen. If you marry this kind of person, it's fine to keep your eyebrows low and pleasing to the eye, and if you resist a little, then wait to get punched."

Hearing this, Rainbow became impatient again: "Mom, you are here again, this is discrimination! There are good children in rural areas, and bad children in cities, the probability is the same."

"It's the same fart! This is reality! If you marry Ji Huang, it will be like this sooner or later. See if you don't come home crying with a bruised nose and a swollen face."

"Ji Huang is not such a person!"

"Why isn't he?"

"Okay, let's stop arguing, we won't mention Ji Huang." He Dalu stretched out his hand and made a "stop" gesture.

A week later, another Wednesday, Rainbow suddenly received a call from Han Qing in the afternoon: "Rainbow, can I trouble you to pick up Duoduo? I have an important contract here, and Party B suddenly asked to meet to revise the terms, and we made an appointment at 05:30 p.m. When I came to the company, it was time after school, so I really couldn't get away..."

Rainbow happened to have no class, so she was sitting at home writing a paper, and said quickly, "No problem, I'll pick it up, don't worry."

The over there obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, can you let him stay at your house for a while after picking up Duoduo? I'll go directly to your place to pick him up after work."

"Okay." Rainbow thought for a while, isn't this a detour?He also said, "Why don't I send Duoduo back to your house directly, I have the key."

"That... um..." There was a sudden silence over there, and Han Qing said, "Don't go, Xia Feng is at home."

"What happened?"

"We quarreled again, and yesterday I formally proposed to him for a divorce. He refused, and I said that I would give him everything I wanted. I didn't want any house, deposit car, as long as a lot. He was so angry that he smashed all the things in the house. We got into a fight. I was so uncomfortable that I didn’t sleep all night, and Dodo was also frightened. I think—it’s better not to let the children be with him these days.”

"What?" Rainbow couldn't help but raise his voice, "You bastard! Are you injured?"

"It was a minor injury, not serious. I threatened to call the police and he stopped. This morning, he knelt down and begged me to forgive him, crying bitterly. He also promised that this was the last time for him, and that he would never send a message to our mother and child again. Got angry."

"Han Qing! Don't listen to him anymore! How many times has he promised! Leave! Resolutely leave him! I support you!"

Han Qing sobbed for a while, and said: "Yes, I told him, this time I am determined. I have signed the divorce agreement, and I left it on the table when I went out in the morning. I told him, a lot It is our common child, even if we are separated, he is still Duoduo's father, and I will not object to him whenever he wants to see Duoduo. Anyway, we are still in the same city, and I am not trying to take his child away."

"Then you... discuss it carefully. We've reached this point, it's better to solve the problem calmly."

"He's on fire. When I get off work, I plan to go out to have dinner with him and discuss the specific procedures for divorce. After all, we are all adults..."

"Okay, I'll pick it up later. Remember to call the kindergarten teacher and let me know."

"I'll call right away. It's still early, and I'll pick it up at the right time."

Putting down the phone, Rainbow looked at his watch. It was only early two o'clock, thinking that the thesis at hand was almost finished, and only the last section was missing. Not wanting to interrupt his train of thought, he immersed himself in finishing the last few paragraphs.I took it in my hand, read it from beginning to end, corrected a few typos, and left the door with great success.

Look at the time, it's [-]:[-], even if you encounter rush hour, it's enough.Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I remembered that the road was being built on Heping Street in the past few days, and all the buses were diverted, and most of them would be blocked.Sure enough, as soon as he entered Heping Street, it was firmly blocked.At first, everyone in the car felt baffled. Heping Street is a small road, and it is not very busy even during the rush hour.Looking out of the window, I saw rows of southbound traffic almost at a standstill, one next to the other, with red lights on at the rear, and no end in sight.Rainbow squeezed to the car door and watched the TV news on the car, only to realize that there was a car accident ahead, a large truck collided with a van, the police car came, the fire engine came, and the ambulance also came, the whole street was blocked to death .Rainbow is not in a hurry, traffic jams are commonplace for the residents of this area, but fortunately she has spare time.

After more than half an hour, the flow of traffic finally loosened. After finally getting on the elevated road, it was blocked again.This time is the real off-duty rush hour, the traffic jam is not dead, the car slowly crawls forward like a beetle, and has not moved much after climbing for more than 40 minutes.

It's noisy on the road, even louder inside the car, and almost everyone is on their cellphones.Rainbow was disturbed by the exhaust fumes along the way and the smell of gasoline in the car. Looking at his watch, it was four or ten minutes before Duoduo finished school, and the gate of the school was far away. tone.

The car drove forward slowly, Rainbow stood there, yawned a few times in exhaustion, glanced at the car TV screen, and suddenly froze.

The announcer was delivering the latest news in his customary mechanical voice:
"...At around [-]:[-] p.m., a murder case occurred on the top floor of Zhumu Building on Dongning Street in this city. A man entered the president's office with a knife and killed a woman surnamed Han, and stabbed another man seriously before committing suicide. According to the investigation, the injured person was Qin Wei, the CEO of the Qin Foundation Committee, which has been very active in the city's capital market in recent years. He has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The police said that the case is under further investigation, and it can be confirmed that it is a man with a knife His surname is Xia, he is the husband of the deceased Han, the case may be caused by a family dispute..."

Caihong turned pale with fright, and suddenly felt exhausted, and was about to fall limply, but fortunately, he was supported by a passenger on the side.

It took ten seconds for her to recover, and quickly took out her mobile phone, only to find that there were three missed calls on the display.She frantically dialed Han Qing's number.Someone over there answered the phone immediately: "Hello."

It was a man's voice, and she felt desperate in her heart.

A driver outside the car honked the horn impatiently. She put the phone on her ear, half of her face was hot, and said weakly, "I'm looking for Han Qing."

"Who are you?" The other party's voice was surprisingly calm.

"I'm He Caihong, Han Qing's college classmate and good friend, I just saw the news on TV—"

"I'm Police Officer Li. Something happened to your classmate. Can you come to the Public Security Bureau? We have some questions to ask."

"……OK."

She wrote down the contact phone number and address, and then realized that she was shaking all over her body.So he asked in a crying voice: "Officer Li, may I ask Han Qing—can she still be rescued?"

"She was so seriously injured that she passed away."

Rainbow couldn't help crying, and the passengers in the car looked at her strangely.Rainbow cried halfway and then remembered something, and quickly dialed the number of the kindergarten.

A female teacher answered the phone.

"Hi, I'm He Caihong. Xiadu's mother asked me to help pick up the child. Is Xiadu here?"

"No, he was picked up by his father." The answer over there was affirmative.

Rainbow's heart skipped a beat and sank into the abyss: "Pick it up? When?"

Kindergarten pick-ups and drop-offs are all recorded in detail. The man paused for a while, probably looking up some form: "Four o'clock sharp."

Rainbow immediately called back the police officer's number: "Sorry, it's me again, Han Qing's classmate. Did you find a boy near the scene?"

"We're cleaning the scene, no."

"Han Qing and Xia Feng have a three-year-old son named Xia Du. I was the one who picked him up from the kindergarten today. I asked the kindergarten teacher just now, and she said that Xia Feng had picked up the child in advance."

Over there, he pondered for a moment and said, "Does their family have any relatives they can trust in this city?"

"No."

"A close friend or classmate?"

"That's me. I have the keys to his house."

"Can you go to his house? Maybe he left the baby at home."

"Okay! I'll go right away."

"We are collecting evidence at the scene and will send someone to his house to investigate immediately."

Rainbow was about to turn off the phone, when it suddenly said: "Wait!"

"Oh?"

"Don't go in alone, find someone to follow you. It's best...a man."

He didn't explain the reason, but Rainbow's heart was beating wildly, with an ominous premonition in his heart, and said: "Okay."

There is a very narrow sidewalk on the elevated road. On weekdays, it would be very dangerous for cars to swish by.But everything is slow during rush hour.Rainbow yelled and begged the driver to open the door to let her get off the bus, and when she got out, she ran wildly on the sidewalk.

A lot!A lot!She burst into tears, only these two words in her heart.

Running all the way down from the elevated road, she stopped a taxi at the intersection, and arrived at the community where Han Qing lived in less than 10 minutes.Before the car came to a complete stop, he opened the door, jumped down and rushed towards Building 37, taking out the keys while running.

This area is full of affordable housing with a housing area of ​​less than [-] square meters. There is an old man downstairs who is slowly repairing an old bicycle.Rainbow quickly asked: "Uncle, have you seen Duoduo? Duoduo is from Han Qing's house on the sixth floor."

"A lot? I didn't see it. But I just came back." The uncle said enthusiastically, "I saw his mother sending him to the kindergarten early in the morning."

"Can you accompany me up there?" Caihong said, "Han Qing...the couple have something to delay outside. The people in the kindergarten said that Duoduo has gone home. I am afraid that he will be afraid at home alone and no one will take care of him." .”

As soon as the words came out, she felt a chill in her heart. Up to now, she still couldn't accept the fact that Han Qing and his wife had died, and Duoduo had become an orphan. Tears welled up unknowingly.

"Okay, I'll go up with you." Seeing her teary eyes, the uncle was puzzled, so he agreed.

The elevator swayed slowly to the sixth floor. Rainbow opened the door of Han Qing's house, and it was very quiet inside.

"A lot!" Rainbow yelled.

The living room was empty, no one agreed, and some torn papers were scattered on the floor.Rainbow glanced at it, it was the divorce agreement.

"Could it be that Duoduo ran out to find children to play with?" She knew that there was a large garden in the community, and there was a small children's playground in it, and Duoduo often liked to go there to play on the swings.

"Impossible, a three-year-old child is timid, and he dare not be at home alone, and he dare not go out alone." The uncle shook his head, "Parents with a little common sense would never lock such a young child at home alone, it is very dangerous of!"

The two-bedroom, one-living room of less than seventy square meters didn't have much hiding place.Duoduo's bedroom is empty, unless he is asleep, it is impossible for a three-year-old child to be silent.Caihong had a rich imagination since she was a child, and she was fond of reading detective novels. At this moment, countless ominous thoughts flooded her mind, and her back was sweating coldly.The door of the master bedroom was ajar, she stretched out a finger and pushed gently.

The bed was empty, and the two quilts were stacked neatly.Caihong remembered that during the military training, Xia Feng learned the unique skill of folding quilts with one hand.Every time I come to the dormitory, I say that the girls' quilts have no edges and corners and need to be corrected. Rainbow's quilts have also been "corrected" several times.Although Xia Feng didn't do housework after marriage, he had to fold the quilt himself. After folding, he pulled out the edges and corners with his hands. The square was like a mahjong tile, which Han Qing always took as a joke.

The bedroom is not big, with a sweeping view, Duoduo is not there.Rainbow breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around to leave, when he saw that the door of the bathroom was also ajar, and there was intermittent dripping sound coming from inside, as if a faucet was not closed properly.She couldn't help but wonder, Han Qing is a careful person who takes great care of his hardwood floors.Once, the water pipe in the upstairs resident broke, and water seeped down along the cracks in the wall, causing the wooden floor in the corner of her bedroom to be soaked in water for three hours. She felt distressed for a long time, and later developed the habit of checking the faucet before leaving home .Maybe it's because I'm in a bad mood and careless recently?
Thinking of this, I felt a sense of depression, no one was here, so what kind of mood did I have?So what if the wooden floor of this house, this house, and this house is all warped?Sighing, he turned on the faucet on the sink casually, and found that the shower curtain was pulled open, covering the bathtub tightly, as if something was hidden inside.She couldn't help thinking of an old story: a mother suffering from postpartum depression drowned all five of her children in the bathtub.Han Qing told her that story when she was pregnant.I don't know if Xia Feng, who is in a rage, will do the same?With this thought, Rainbow felt his legs go weak for a while, and reached out to touch the curtain, but he dared not pull it away.

Fortunately, the uncle also came in, and said behind her: "Duoduo is definitely not at home. This toilet has no windows, and when the light is turned off, it is dark. How can it be possible to hide here?"

Rainbow plucked up the courage to slam the shower curtain back.

It was a tub full of fresh water, and thankfully there was nothing but water.

"Thank you, Uncle." Rainbow said, "I'll go out and look for it again. If I can't find it, call the police."

"What happened to his parents?"

"I don't know either. The police will come over in a while, you'd better...ask them." She smiled weakly.

As soon as he got out of the residential building, Rainbow immediately reported Duoduo's disappearance to the police, and then searched carefully around the community, including the surrounding shops, cold drink shops, and parents who were playing with their children in the community playground. I have asked all of them, but to no avail.Then he opened the phone's address book and called a few friends he knew who had contacts with Han Qing's family.As outsiders, Han Qing's family's social circle in this city is very small, basically limited to a few good college classmates, all of whom Rainbow knows.Everyone expressed that they did not know Duoduo's whereabouts.

After searching for several hours, there was no one there. Rainbow was so tired that he was out of breath, and his mind was even more chaotic. Seeing that it was late, he called a taxi and hurried home in a daze.

Almost dragging his exhausted body up to the seventh floor, he opened the door, and the smell of vegetables wafted in his nostrils, and the kitchen was full of oily smoke. As usual, Li Mingzhu was cooking on the stove.

Rainbow's body softened, and she suddenly lost all her strength. She couldn't move anymore, leaned against the door, and called "Mom" in a low voice.

A small figure suddenly rushed over from the room and jumped on her: "Aunt Rainbow!"

"Duoduo!" She hugged him and touched him, almost unable to believe that this little man was real, tears streaming down her face, "Why are you here? You scared me to death, I've been looking for you everywhere!"

"Oh, what's the matter with you?" Li Mingzhu walked over and pulled Duoduo away from her arms, "It's broad daylight, why are you so nervous with children?"

"Mom, did you pick up a lot?" she asked sobbing.

"That's not true. Han Qing called you and no one answered, so he called me and begged me to pick up Duoduo as soon as possible, and to our home first. She said that she and Xia Feng were divorcing, a bit Don't worry about letting Duoduo be alone with his father."

"But...but the kindergarten teacher said that Xia Feng picked up Duoduo first."

"Yeah. I put down the phone and rushed to the kindergarten, and I happened to meet them at the gate. I was angry when I saw that kid, so I scolded him firmly, then grabbed Duoduo and left. At first he He refused to let him go, so I yelled at him, saying that if he didn’t let me go, I would call the police and sue you for domestic violence! He almost punched me, and I said you beat me, beat an old lady in the street, how dare you! Sure enough, he surrounded me A large group of people, let's cooperate a lot, say no to dad, dad beats him, dad is a bad person!" After finishing speaking, he slapped a garlic on the cutting board violently, "I will kill you under the bright eyes of the crowd." Duoduo was dragged into the taxi. How is it? Is your mother tough or not?"

"Sturdy..." Rainbow said weakly, "So, you told Han Qing that you received a child?"

"I told her. I told her that if you want to divorce, you must keep the custody right. If you want to keep the custody right, you must keep your son under watch. If he refuses to divorce, he will send his son to the countryside to hide slowly. If you spend time with you, you will be in trouble. I also told her that when I come to our house for dinner at night, I will cook braised fish for her mother and son, and I will live in our house during this time! They insisted on being together, I I didn't stop her, and I still feel sorry for her parents. This time, I can't be soft again!"

Rainbow took a deep look at Li Mingzhu, full of gratitude and relief.Yes, she had to believe again that what mother did was always right, at least Han Qing knew that the child was safe before he died.

"Huh? Are you feeling unwell?" Li Mingzhu asked, "Why do you look like this? Are you weak and crooked?"

"Mom, Han Qing... something serious happened."

03
One month later, Rainbow was able to break away from Han Qing's death and return to normal life.But she knew that a part of her soul—even a part of her history—had passed away with Han Qing.

Han Qing's funeral was handled by Li Mingzhu, Caihong and one of Han Qing's uncles from beginning to end.After hearing the news of their daughter's death, Han Qing's parents broke down emotionally and were both hospitalized, unable to rush to F City to attend the funeral.Han Qing's ashes were brought back to Nanning by her uncle for burial.

Busy here, busy there.During this month, Rainbow entered the Public Security Bureau countless times to cooperate with police investigations; she helped her mother contact the funeral home and prepare for the memorial service.Xia Feng's father also rushed over from the countryside. He is a short, wrinkled man with a hunchback, all white hair, and a strong local accent that is hard to understand.The old man had no money, was sad and ashamed, and refused to stay for one more day after hastily cremating his son's body.Caihong had no choice but to send him to the train station. Before leaving, he took out a photo from his arms tremblingly: "This is the daughter-in-law I have chosen for him. She is in the same village. She grew up together when she was a child. She is obedient, capable, and sincere." Li likes him, and his looks are not bad. Although he didn't study much, he graduated from middle school anyway. He doesn't want to do anything, but wants to marry someone from the city. How can he afford a girl from the city?"

In the photo is a gentle and delicate girl, smiling slightly, with shyness between her brows.If she married Xia Feng, would there be a good result?Will the story still be like this?

The day after the Han Qing incident, Su Donglin flew back from Germany.Rainbow heard the news and rushed to the intensive care unit of the People's Hospital.

Regarding Qin Wei's assassination, the police explained that he was checking a financial report with Han Qing on the day of the incident, Xia Feng broke into the house with a knife, Qin Wei tried to protect Han Qing, and was stabbed three times in the fight with Xia Feng.Of course Rainbow knew the deeper reason, but he didn't confide a word.The deceased is dead, Qin Wei is a news figure, she doesn't want to add more frivolous news to him.

She and Dong Lin waited silently outside the ICU. It could be seen that Dong Lin was in a heavy heart, and sat on the chair all day long, almost without saying a word.

At dinner time, they went to the downstairs restaurant for dinner, and Dong Lin only wanted a bowl of vegetable soup.I don't know whether it was because of the fatigue of the journey or the heavy heart, but his face looked black.

Back outside the ICU, the two sat back on the original sofa, Caihong took a sip of strong tea, and suddenly said, "You blame me."

"What are you complaining about?"

"If I hadn't encouraged Han Qing to change jobs, Xia Feng would not have been under such great pressure. If I hadn't persuaded Han Qing to divorce, Xia Feng would not have taken the risk. I... really regret that I didn't listen to you back then."

"I regret it too." Su Donglin sighed, "I shouldn't have stuffed Han Qing into Qin Wei's office. This is equivalent to dragging a completely innocent person in."

"If you didn't do this, Han Qing would be in your company, and you would be the one who died."

Dong Lin looked at the glass door of the operating room with blank eyes.After a moment of silence, he suddenly murmured, "I have died once."

Without waiting for Rainbow to answer, he half-closed his eyes and suddenly told the story between him and Qin Wei.

"I met Ah Wei when I was 17 years old. I had just graduated from high school, my parents were working on a project in Hong Kong, my brother was studying abroad, and I was the only one at home. I liked adventure since I was a child and dreamed of being a mountaineering team member. My parents thought the hobby was too dangerous and they strongly disagreed, so I never put my dream into practice.”

"I wanted to take this opportunity to go to Shennongjia to see if I could find the legendary savage. In that summer vacation, I lied that I would travel to Yunnan with a group, but actually secretly asked someone to go to Shennongjia. That person was Qin Wei He and I are in the same youth aircraft model club. There are a group of bold boys in the club. I asked everyone who wanted to go, only Qin Wei raised his hand. Since we are not in the same group, I am not very familiar with him, nor Knowing that the parents of both parties had grievances."

"When we arrived in Shennongjia, we made full preparations and went into the mountain. The two of us quickly quarreled over the route. So we decided to go our own way. I walked alone for seven or eight hours, and I was full of confidence. I accidentally bumped into a hornet's nest. I was so scared that I dropped my backpack and ran wildly. I lost my way while running. I walked farther and farther away, wandering around in the mountains alone. The backpack contained all my survival items. Nothing but a bottle of mineral water. For seven days, I was hungry and hungry. I was so hungry that I had to look for wild fruits to satisfy my hunger. Unexpectedly, I ate the wrong fruit again, vomiting and diarrhea... At that time, I really thought I would die there. .”

Rainbow couldn't help interjecting: "No one knows about your disappearance?"

"No. This is a lesson I have learned with my life: no matter what travel you do, you must inform your relatives about the location of the trip and the expected time to return home, otherwise no one will remember to come to you. At that time, Qin Wei and I It was very noisy, and there was no appointment at all. He walked for a day and came out smoothly. When he returned to the hotel, he found that I hadn't come back. In fact, I had already checked out (checked out) at that time, and I told him this The hotel is not good, so I have to change to another hotel when I come back. Qin Wei thought that I might have lost my way, so he went to the mountain to look for me the next day. He searched for me in the woods all day, but he couldn’t find it. He called the police and led a search and rescue team to search for me. , searched for three days, but found nothing."

"The people from the search and rescue team gave up and told Qin Wei that the mountain roads lead in all directions. I may have left the mountain by myself and continued to travel elsewhere. Qin Wei didn't believe it, and went into the forest alone. This time he found my lost At that time, I was sick, tired, cold and hungry, and I was exposed to the rain. I couldn’t do it anymore, so I found a small river and decided to lie on the riverside to die. My consciousness was in a trance, and I often had hallucinations. White light flashed intermittently..."

He paused, and continued: "At this moment, I saw a figure walking towards me. I thought it was an angel sent by God..."

"What happened next?" Rainbow asked.

"Then we became good buddies, but neither of us said anything about it."

Rainbow silently digested the story, and at the end, asked: "The doctor said that Qin Wei's injury is very serious. Even if he is rescued, he won't recover for a while and needs many years of recuperation. What are you going to do?"

"I will leave the Su family."

"Leaving Su's?" She looked at him in surprise, "Why?"

"I am very lucky in business, and my parents are a little partial to me. My brother was very angry because of this, and Lily got involved, and now it has almost become a problem for him." Su Donglin smiled and hummed again. He said, "It's not worth sacrificing the relationship between brothers for this. In fact, what he wants is not what I particularly want. I simply give it to him, and everyone is happy."

For a moment, the rainbow was confused.She always thought that she knew Dong Lin very well, but now she didn't think so.

"So what do you want?" she asked.

"Keep it secret, I'll tell you later." He winked at her.

After two rescue efforts and another [-] days in the intensive care unit, Qin Wei's condition stabilized slightly. A month later, he was sent to the United States for further thoracic surgery.Su Donglin called back and said that the operation was difficult and the healing was not satisfactory. Qin Wei recovered very slowly and needed long-term recuperation. They will not return to China in the next few years.

Not long after, Caihong heard from Lili that Dong Lin had resigned from all his positions in Su's company.

"That Qin Wei has been recuperating in a hospital in California. I heard that he is seriously ill. He has already installed a pacemaker and has no strength to walk. Although he can speak now, he cannot do without the care of others." In fact, Lily was just talking bluntly, and there was a sad and regretful tone in her voice. For some reason, Rainbow felt that she was a little gloating.

"So... Donglin is also in California?" Rainbow asked.

"No, who made them buddies?" Lily said, "My father-in-law ordered him to return to the country several times, but he refused to come back. Coupled with some gossip in the industry, the old man was very angry. Now I have to hand over everything to Dong Dong." Woo."

"Oh." Rainbow thought, isn't this fulfilling your wish?
"My mother-in-law is not in good health recently, and she is a chronic offender of high blood pressure. The two elders plan to retire completely next year. I was thinking, no matter what, I must have a seat on the board of directors. I also have a serious economics background! A few days ago I told My mother-in-law has a showdown. After retiring, she should leave her previous position in Su Corporation to me. If she thinks I have no experience, she can send someone to teach me. I have always been interested in business management and I am familiar with finance. Now I have applied for an MBA. Degree class. I can definitely help Dongyu..."

"Well, work hard and be a female entrepreneur!" Seeing her grand plans, Caihong felt that Lily had finally fought for a new world where she could display her fists, and she was at the top of her game, so she couldn't help but bless her.

"Honestly, Rainbow," Lily leaned forward and changed the subject, "do you wish I had a better life than you?"

"Of course, of course I hope you have a better life than me."

"Lie." Her smile suddenly disappeared, "You don't like me, you've been perfunctory me all the time. Even if we are in full swing, you always mention Han Qing. I really don't understand, Han Qing's elm head , what am I inferior to her?"

With a "ding", Rainbow put down the silver spoon of the coffee cup heavily, sat up straight, and said seriously: "Lily, Han Qing has always been my best friend. She has passed away, I don't want you to be disrespectful to the deceased .As for why I don't like you and don't want to get close to you, you should understand the reason."

"Well," Lily stood up, straightened her clothes, and sneered, "Then I'm going to feel wronged for Han Qing. Look, what happens to being your best friend? —— He Caihong, you know your Where is the problem?"

Rainbow was so angry that he almost forgot to breathe.

"You're very good at making decisions for others, or persuading others to make decisions," Lily said, "but you can't make many decisions yourself. You think you are very knowledgeable and theoretical, but you are just a poor person: you don't think about anything." Lost, you have nothing in the end. This is my new business card - I have always regarded you as a friend, and I have tried my best to help you, although your attitude often makes me feel cold - if you need any help, call me .”

After all, put down the business card and walk away.

Life is full of variables.

You think that all good things will stay for you, but you don't know that all your familiar friends and beloved lovers leave you in a blink of an eye.

It's still the same city, the same viaduct, and the bus that crosses countless mud pits and exposed pipes every day. For the rainbow, this city has gradually lost its vitality.

She often wakes up from nightmares at night, and then falls into deep self-blame.She had to admit that Lily's words were right.isn't it?Everything is her fault.If she hadn't encouraged Han Qing to come out to work, if she hadn't begged Donglin to resettle Han Qing, then these people would still be alive.They may not live as they wish, or they may quarrel at every turn, but as long as they are alive, they have a future, hope, infinite possibilities and endless expectations.

There is nothing better than being alive.

Two months later, the school called for young teachers to go to remote mountainous areas to support teaching. Rainbow's department was allocated two places. She signed up immediately and chose Long'an County, which has the most difficult environment.

The head of the department called her to the office and looked her up and down: "Mr. He, Long'an County is an authentic old revolutionary base area. After getting off the train and changing to a bus, you have to climb several mountains on foot after getting off the bus. Life in the mountains is very difficult. You Can you stick to it? The department actually plans to send a male teacher there, you can choose another county, it’s closer to the railway, and it’s convenient to go home and visit relatives.”

She said silently: "Long'an County is pretty good."

Because of this, Li Mingzhu got so angry at the school that she went to the head of the department several times, and when she got home, she fought with Rainbow again.Li Mingzhu still can't change her old habits. As long as her daughter's thoughts are not right, she has to go to the teacher to argue, thinking that what the child does must be influenced by bad classmates or pressure from the teacher.

But who is the dean of the department? After decades of student work, dealing with a Li Mingzhu is not a piece of cake?Li Mingzhu, who had run into trouble, complained loudly to Rainbow: "What the hell are you doing? You don't even have a partner. What kind of example are you doing at a time like this? The sanitary conditions in the mountainous area are so bad, what if you get sick? Miss, don't get too hot-headed." If you go there, you will die! What a crappy director, he is playing with the life of a young teacher for his own sake! Don’t think he can dismiss me with a few words, I’ll talk to the principal! If the principal doesn’t agree, I’ll go to the director of the Education Department !"

Rainbow hurriedly pulled her back: "Mom, although the director and the secretary are both leaders, they are also my colleagues. I have an equal relationship with them as adults. Don't look for anyone, this is not forcibly assigned by them. It's up to me."

Caihong lived in Long'an County for a whole year, and only returned home once during the holidays.Life in the mountains is indeed difficult, but it is far away from the busy city and the pace is slow, which is very suitable for scholars to calm down and study.In addition to teaching, Rainbow is thinking hard in the hut in the mountains, writing papers, compiling textbooks, and gaining a lot.

After the teaching support ended, she bid farewell to the folks with tears. She took a large bag of souvenirs from the students and took the train home.

It was a slow train, passing through more than a dozen small stations, including Zhongbi, Ji Huang's hometown.And Zhongbi is considered a big stop on this line.

After getting in the car and putting away the luggage, Caihong noticed that the words "Zhongbi Coal Mine Workers Hospital" were imprinted on the teacup of an aunt sitting across from her, so she started talking with her.She asked her aunt if she recognized Ji Huang, and she nodded vigorously: "Ji Huang? I know it! Ji's family is well-known in Zhongbi, and there are probably not many people who don't know him."

"Oh!" Rainbow was surprised.

"He is the number one student in the college entrance examination of Zhongbi No. [-] Middle School. That high school is full of miners' children. For more than ten years, he has shaved his head in the college entrance examination. But that year he suddenly passed the entrance examination to Ji Huang, and he is a top prestigious university in the country. The news is all over the place. The newspapers in the city. Since he passed the exam, Zhongbi No. [-] Middle School has been opened up, and he can pass a few exams every year. It can be regarded as a key high school in this area. Ji Huang also has two younger brothers, They are also very good, with excellent grades, and people say that the two brothers will be able to go to college sooner or later." Auntie said vividly.

Rainbow sighed: "It's a pity that his mother passed away, otherwise how beautiful it would be to know that the children have all gone to college."

"Speaking of this is miserable. Ji Huang's mother has been living in our hospital since she was seriously ill until she passed away. I am in the Department of Internal Medicine and I am very familiar with the nurses in the inpatient department." The aunt also sighed, "The children of Ji's family are all He is a filial son. Ji Huang can't take care of his family when he is teaching in the city. His two younger brothers live in high school. No matter how nervous his studies are, he will take time to go to the hospital to accompany his mother every day. Even homework is done in the ward. Not to mention Ji Huang Seeing that my mother’s kidney was dying, I voluntarily exchanged my own kidney for her, and even said that I would take her to the city for surgery. The doctor made an appointment, the hospital was contacted, and the date was fixed. It’s a pity..."

"I've heard about it too. Her mother's condition deteriorated very quickly, and she died before the operation." Rainbow added softly.

"Oh?" The aunt looked at her and snorted, "Who did you hear that from?"

"I'm his former colleague, and I teach in a university. The teacher in the department said so." Rainbow was surprised, "Is there something wrong?"

"That's not the case!"

"What's that about?" she asked.

"Ji Huang's mother committed suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of the hospital and died on the spot." The aunt said, "One of Ji Huang's younger brothers took care of her that day. She said she wanted to eat some lotus root soup, so she sent her son away. As a result, when he came back from buying lotus root soup, he happened to see his mother's dead body downstairs, his face was smashed, and his brains were splashed everywhere... The child was stimulated, ran out madly, and disappeared for several days. When I came back and looked for him everywhere, I was almost insane."

Rainbow was eating an apple. Hearing this, he took a bite too fast, and even bit his fingers.

It was so!
"Actually, the success rate of kidney transplantation is very high," Caihong's heart was beating wildly, "maybe it's because she doesn't have much confidence in her disease?"

"No." The aunt took a sip of tea, "the day his mother jumped off the building, he received a call. It wasn't from Ji Huang, but from a strange woman. The call went to the nurse, who then transferred her extension. We guessed that The woman revealed to her the news that Ji Huang was going to have a kidney transplant. She received a call in the morning and immediately asked the attending doctor to question her. The attending doctor refused to tell the truth, so she found a reason to go out, and probably made a phone call to check. In the evening Just jumped off the building."

Rainbow froze for a moment.

"The hospital was afraid of taking responsibility, so they sent someone to the telecommunications bureau to check the phone number, and they said it was from a public phone booth in your city. They then asked Ji Huang if anyone he knew would deliberately disclose this news to his mother. Ji Huang said no. .”

Rainbow looked at her palely, and asked, "And then?"

"Then the matter was left alone. Of course, his mother has been ill for several years and has depression. It is possible that he can't think about it under this situation."

Along the way, Rainbow never spoke again, just lying motionless on the sleeper, recalling over and over again the scene of the dispute between himself and Ji Huang in the hospital that day, his thoughts were tumbling, and his heart was in a state of confusion.

At the finish line, Rainbow dragged his heavy luggage and took a taxi straight to his home.

The large board houses in the dormitory area have not changed, except that they are older and older, the roads are dirtier, and there are more small vendors on both sides of the road.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law downstairs still gather together to choose vegetables, and the walls are still covered with advertisements of various moving companies.Going upstairs, entering the door, and putting down the luggage, Li Mingzhu greeted her from the kitchen with a smile: "Oh! I'm finally home! Mom made red bean soup for you and added a few slices of bird's nest. My heart, look at you thin What's up!"

The fire that Caihong was simmering all the way, when she reached her mother, she immediately erupted: "Mom, let me ask you, have you ever called Ji Huang's mother?"

Li Mingzhu frowned, and her face sank: "What did you say? Call?"

"Don't pretend to be confused!" Seeing that Li Mingzhu didn't admit it, Rainbow became even more angry, "Have you ever called Ji Huang's mother?"

"It's weird, what did I call Ji Huang's mother? I don't know her! I just beg people not to mess with me, and I still go to contact her with a stick? There is no way!" Rainbow said so rudely It was also the first time, how could Li Mingzhu be timid?The voice immediately soared once.

"Liar! Don't tell me that you didn't check Ji Huang's details! Don't tell me that you don't know about his family! You know that Ji Huang's mother is seriously ill, yet you called her to tell her about the kidney transplant!"

"Oh my God! He Dalu, look at your daughter, she's really turning her elbows! Rainbow, who can I hide from you if I call or not? Just call Ji Huang's mother and ask, won't it be enough?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me this? You know that there is no proof! Ji Huang's mother committed suicide by jumping off the building the day she received your call! Are you happy? Now that Ji Huang finally hates me, you finally succeeded, right? "

Before the words fell, a loud slap was slapped on the face: "Nonsense! I, Li Mingzhu, hate Ji Huang, but I will not do such immoral things!"

"It was you who did it! Who else but you? This is your usual style!" Seeing that her mother not only did not repent but also denied it, Rainbow was so angry that she couldn't finish her dream of being a young lady, and you expected me to replace her. You go on, in order to obey you, I endured it, and broke up with Ji Huang, isn't that enough? Are you still not satisfied? Do you want to kill a person? ——Mom! Are you hurting me? You... you are really despicable!"

"What did you say? Say it again!" Li Mingzhu was so angry that she jumped three feet high, "You fool! Who did I harm? What does it have to do with me if someone else's patient can't think of committing suicide by jumping off a building? It's not your own mother who doesn't bother to care about you. Who do you like to marry! Everything I do is for your happiness!"

Rainbow rushed to her bedroom, threw a few professional books and notebooks into a big bag, and rushed back to the living room to shout at Li Mingzhu: "Do you care about my happiness? Do you care? After all, you just want to possess me." , decide for me, decide for me, you think you have the right to do this, right? Because I am not your own at all, my life was picked up by you, you are kind to me, so you have the right to dispose of mine Everything, including my love, my happiness, and my future, right?"

"Get out! Get out, He Caihong! Get out as far as you can! Never go back to this house!"

"I'm going to get out of here, get out of here!" Cai Cai strode out the door with his luggage on his back, and threw his phone to the ground, smashing it into pieces, "I hate you guys!"
