Chapter 36 Tang Renjie's Cunning

Fatty and I looked at each other, unable to speak, but my brain was turning quickly. Tang Renjie suddenly asked what this sentence meant? Is he pretending to be a fat man? Or did I know that I was with Fat man at this time? Because I had guessed before that there must be Tang Renjie's people around us in this village, otherwise Tang Renjie would not have put the little drought bar in front of my house just right.

Yes, it was precisely because we happened to think that the fool was looking for that child, and when the third grandfather stopped us from digging, the dead child was placed at my doorstep. So both Fatty and I naturally thought that this might be a compromise between the village, and no one thought about it in the direction of Tang Renjie.

So Tang Renjie's people are in the dark, knowing what we are doing and what we need.

From Tang Renjie's question, I and Fatty have been silent for thirty seconds now. My heart sank. I know that it has been leaked. The fat man didn't answer immediately. With Tang Renjie's mind, he knew that we were in the current state. I knew that we couldn't hide it anymore. I said to the phone: "Boss Tang, I'm here."

"I'm sorry for what happened last time. If it weren't for your elder brother being so disrespectful, I wouldn't have thought that it would make things so embarrassing." Tang Renjie smiled on the other side of the phone.

"That matter has passed, but Boss Tang, I really didn't expect that as your identity, I would still be interested in this remote place. And you know everything about it. How could you feel when I grew up here?" I said.

"Is it convenient to meet?" Tang Renjie asked on the other side of the phone.

I thought about it and said to the phone: "Okay, but the location must not be here this time. Let's go find you."

"Okay, come here and call, I'll wait any time." Tang Renjie said. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

After I really hung up the phone, I realized that my head was covered with sweat. Although I was only talking through the phone, I was very nervous. This was not only because Tang Renjie was the most powerful man in Luoyang, but because he always gave people a feminine and scheming feeling, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on me.

The fat man looked at me and said, "I'm right, Mr. Fatty? Tang Renjie is very cunning. If you don't say anything else, businessmen will never get up early. If we want to slander his words, maybe whoever takes advantage of the benefits in the end will suffer."

"What should I do? I will meet you or not?" I looked at the fat man and said. Actually, I also felt that I was not sure if I went to see Tang Renjie with the fat man. After all, we were not my elder brother and had absolute force as a backing.

"Why don't you see? With Fatty Master here, can he eat it?" said the fat man. After saying that, the fat man yawned and said, "You go back, Fatty Master sleeps for a while, at least he must keep his legs first."

——I came home after I came out of the village committee. When I got home, I found Han Xue was not there, but I immediately realized that today was Monday, and she should be in school now. Even though I didn’t sleep all night last night, I still didn’t feel sleepy at all. I took out my cell phone and looked at it, wanting to call my elder brother, but I didn’t want to.

The fat man almost fought with his elder brother today. The two of them are almost incompatible now. Based on my understanding of the elder brother, he will definitely be incompatible with the fat man in the future. After I left the elder brother's house, I immediately called him brother and the fat man. Now I even contacted Tang Renjie, whom I never liked by my elder brother, which made me feel very guilty about the elder brother.

I really don’t want to do anything that I’m sorry to my elder brother. The words that my elder brother said made me very moved when I think about it now, but I really don’t want to say anything to me. Even if I know that hiding something from me is definitely for my own good, in order to satisfy my curiosity and make me more proactive in the face of the whole thing, I have to do something that I’m sorry to my elder brother. This is what I’m confused about.

After all, I am already an adult and have my own thinking and judgment.

But my elder brother treats me as my younger brother and as a child, which is the biggest generation gap between us.

Thinking of my elder brother, I also remembered the fat man's words, which made me feel even heavier. For more than 20 years, I have always known that there is a big brother, but I have experienced several roller coaster-like fluctuations in my psychology. Before my elder brother came back, I felt guilty because I was sent to me to grow up next to my mother. He was the one who helped me, but after my elder brother came back, he showed his power and became a legendary person. Although I didn't say it, I was a little envious in my heart. I envy how good I was sent out at that time, so that my fate and my elder brother would be completely reversed. How good should that be the hero who was wise and powerful?

Today, the fat man told me that my elder brother had to experience becoming so powerful, but it made me feel terrified and guilty again. After my elder brother was adopted, he would start eating dead human flesh, and it was a swelling and rotten corpse soaked in water. If I had to do this, would I survive?

Just as I was thinking, my mother walked up to me, kicked me and said, "Yezi, what are you thinking about, so stunned?"

I looked at my mother and asked, "Do you know the family that my elder brother was adopted back then?"

The expression on my mother's face suddenly became weird. She seemed to dodge the question very much and said, "Why did you think of asking this?"

"I just asked. Today I suddenly thought that my elder brother can become so powerful and must have suffered a lot. But when you were a child, you told me that the family where I took in my elder brother was very wealthy and there were no males at home, so my elder brother used to enjoy his life." I said.

My mother picked up her clothes and was silent for a while. She said, "The family that your elder brother adopted is your grandfather's friend, so the family is well-off, all of which are said by your grandfather. In fact, I didn't want your elder brother to adopt it so far. I didn't want to recognize it, but I just couldn't help it, or I would go and see it when I live in the future, but your grandfather is more stubborn."

"Grandpa's friend?" I was stunned for a moment, I really don't know about this.

"Well, maybe it's because of this that your grandfather didn't mention changing his surname to your elder brother. When your elder brother came back, he said that his name was Sun Zhongmou, you didn't know how uncomfortable my mother felt. He should have been Ye Zhongmou!" My mother's eyes turned red as she said that.

"Not mom, don't be sad. You said that the family surnamed Sun is a friend of grandpa. What kind of friend are they? They have a good relationship?" I asked.

"Yes, the one who came to the village to take your elder brother away was an old man. The old man's surname was Sun. I've never seen your grandfather drink, but they both got drunk that day, and their guns were exactly the same." My mother said.

After listening to my mother's words, I turned around and looked at my grandfather who was sitting on a small bench in front of the door waiting for a pipe. His eyes were already turbid and his ears were a little deaf. My mother and I were so close to him, but he didn't look at us at all, nor did he participate in the conversation because he could hardly hear what we were saying.

Looking at such a grandfather, I suddenly felt a little incredible. The rapid spread of an idea in my head made me almost out of control.

I finally patted my head and said to myself, "The nerves are so tight, I'm a little crazy, and I don't feel normal when I see anyone."

After saying that, I stood up.

Before entering the room, I suddenly looked back at my grandfather, but I saw that my grandfather was looking at me at this time, and his wrinkled face and turbid old eyes made me feel an inexplicable feeling, especially his expression, which made me feel strange and strange.

I don't like this feeling very much. I smiled at him, and he also squeezed out a smile at me. This smile made me feel a bit more meaningful.

"Stop thinking about it!" I said to myself in my heart. After that, I walked into the room, opened the door of my room, and lay directly on Han Xue's bed regardless of it.

I want to sleep, but when I close my eyes, my grandfather's strange expression just now would appear in my mind, and for some reason, I actually felt a little scared.

Grandpa is not a kind person. To me, he is just a grandpa. If you have to add an adjective, he is a grandpa who loves to smoke.

From childhood to adulthood, in my impression, my grandfather smoked dry cigarettes in the yard every day. Because of his poor health, he never went to the fields to do farm work or anything else. My mother just brought him a bowl after cooking. He got up on time during the day and sat at the door to smoke. After dinner at night, he went back to the house to sleep. After coughing in the first half of the night, he fell asleep in the middle of the night.

There was a strong smell of smoke and a unique smell in the elderly in his room. If my mother had not washed his bed sheets, clothes and floor every two days, the smell would have been even worse.

This is an ordinary rural elderly man who can't be more ordinary.

——I found that no matter how I prevented myself from thinking, the thoughts that came out of my mind just now were lingering. I sat up, then half lying on the bed and lit a cigarette.
