Shi Guofu didn't want to leave, but he had no choice but to do so. Zhang Shui and King Dali and the other two went through the boxes and cabinets to find the only passbook of Shi's family that cost more than 300 yuan. The rest... there was nothing worth taking away.

In addition to a flashlight, the household appliances in this home are just semiconductor radios that can make noise. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as being useless.

After Zhang Shui and the others simply helped to pack their luggage, they began to ask Shi Guofu.

"Squad leader, where is my sister-in-law working? Let's go and pick up my sister-in-law while Guan Na's car has not arrived."

"No, don't pick her up..." Shi Guofu shouted suddenly as if he lost control, but after saying this, he realized something again and his tone softened, "She works as a waiter in a hotel in the town, I'll call her and ask!"

"What else do you want to ask? I'll just drive my sister-in-law back. You can lead the way, is the town far away?"

Wang Dali said as he hugged Shi Guofu.

"Don't touch me!"

Shi Guofu shouted again, as if Shi Guofu, who was in the army, had returned, which scared Wang Dali so much that he did not dare to act rashly at that time.

Zhang Shui saw it and waved his hand, "Dali, you three bring Shui Mei to the yard, I have something to say with the squad leader."

"What do you mean..." Wang Dali really didn't have much vision to see him, and wanted to understand, but after he was halfway through, Zhang Shui glared back.

He shrank his neck, bent down and picked up Shui Mei, and retreated to the yard with Guo Xu Cong Youde.

Now, except for my mother lying on the bed, there are only Zhang Shui and Shi Guofu left in the room.

Zhang Shui squatted down and stared at Shi Guofu with his eyes straight. Shi Guofu was uncomfortable when he saw it, and his head twisted around, trying to avoid Zhang Shui's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Zhang Shui looked at it for a full minute, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and stuffed it into Shi Guofu's mouth, and the two of them vomited mist at the sight of the clouds.

It’s not that he was ridiculous, but that during this minute, Zhang Shui kept thinking, if the boss was there, how would he solve this problem?

After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke.

"Squad leader, we are now a bodyguard for a boss. By the way, this boss is the battalion commander's brother-in-law."

For some reason, Zhang Shui suddenly said this.

"Battleman Tan?"

Zhang Shui nodded.

"The boss is very young, he treats us very well and gives us a lot of money."

Zhang Shui took a deep breath of cigarette, "So it's not difficult for us to pick up your family. We treat the aunt and ask Shuimei to change schools. You can also check your body well and do some work within your ability in the future..." Zhang Shui's tone was very light, as if it had a hypnotic effect, and Shi Guofu's always tense body slowly relaxed.

Zhang Shui's hand covered Shi Guofu's dark and thin hand, "Squad leader, has something happened to you and your sister-in-law?

We are brothers of life and death who have carried guns together. You have to tell the truth to me! Only by telling the truth can we help you. Are you really willing to stay here for the rest of your life, so that Shui Mei loves to bully you every day and make people scold you for being a lame turtle every day?"

Zhang Shui said this last sentence quite fiercely. Shi Guofu's body trembled slightly. He covered his face with both hands, and soon, a muffled cry came over.

Zhang Shui was smoking a cigarette and waiting patiently.

Shi Guofu shed two tears, stopped crying, wiped his eyes with his black sleeves, stretched out his hand, "Give me another cigarette."

Zhang Shui ordered another one for him, and Shi Guofu took a big gulp greedily, "Zhang Shui, since my legs were all destroyed, my mother followed me to get sick and fell ill. She went to the county hospital for examination and said it was chronic kidney disease and she had to take medicine for many years. In order to treat my mother and me, everything she could sell at home, but the two patients were like two bottomless pits..." Shi Guofu raised his head and stared at the nothingness in the air with an empty eyes.

Zhang Shui couldn't imagine what he had experienced over the years, and could torture a man who was so fierce that he was a walking corpse.

"My wife is a good person. I don't want to drag her down. I asked her to take Shuimei out of this family and find another way to survive. Otherwise, she would have to be dragged to death by my mother and me. But she would not leave no matter what she said, stay at home to take care of my family, wuwu..." Perhaps thinking of the sadness, Shi Guofu once again let out a sad voice.

Zhang Shui accompanied him silently.

Shi Guofu was like a mental illness, crying a few times, saying a few words, and spending a long time intermittently before he could tell the whole thing.

As he said, in this barren place, with two patients at home, the burden of such a life is not to mention a woman, even an adult man will be forced to go to the fore.

When there was no choice in the end, Shi Guofu was completely desperate. He used the last little change from his family to buy a pack of rat medicine, put it in the meal, and the whole family took it together, so that he could completely get rid of his worries.

But when Shui Mei picked up her rice bowl and was about to eat, she couldn't bear to poison her biological daughter to death, so she knocked her daughter overturned her rice bowl. That night, the family hugged her head and cried bitterly. The mother slumped on the bed pounded the bed board and shouted, "Why don't I die yet?"

This fucking life is as heavy as a mountain, and can break the waist of an iron-brained man.

The next day, Shi Guofu's wife Ma Dandan packed up her bags and ran to the restaurant in the town to work as a waiter.

It's said that he is a waiter, but he is actually doing that.

The town is adjacent to the highway, and there are often truck drivers who come and go to rest and eat there, and the passenger flow is large, so the business is pretty good.

Every month, Ma Dandan would bring money home twice. It was up to the money of selling flesh that the Shi family had medicine to save their lives, and this family could maintain their lives until now.

Shi Guofu wanted to commit suicide several times, but when he thought of his mother on the hospital bed and his daughter who was still studying, he couldn't bear to leave his family.

Over time, Ma Dandan's reputation spread throughout the villages, and Shi Guofu's nickname was also called "Shi Guofu's lame turtle".

"Zhang Shui, I'm so fucking crap! I really don't want to live anymore."

Shi Guofu's depressed crying sounded like a knife, and the knife stabbed Zhang Shui in his heart.

Zhang Shui couldn't imagine that there were people living so miserably in this world, and this person was the old squad leader who took care of him back then, which made him cry several times.

Zhang Shui wiped away her tears and stood up suddenly, "Squad leader, stop talking, sister-in-law is a good person. Let's take her back and follow us. We will never have such a life in the future. I promise you."

Shi Guofu raised his head and looked at the brother who had been through life and death together. In the end, he nodded.

Who doesn’t want to be a new life and change his lifestyle?

Hope for the future made him finally agree with Zhang Shui's plan.
