Chapter 111: Cry
There is a folk saying that "men wear Avalokitesvara and women wear Buddha", which is not taboo, but mainly hopes.
On the one hand, Guanyin has the same pronunciation as the official seal. It is hoped that men who wear Guanyin will have a prosperous official career, while Buddha means good luck, and it is hoped that women who wear Buddha will be blessed in life.
On the other hand, I hope that men can be as peaceful and kind as the Guanyin they wear, and women can be as generous and tolerant as the Buddha they wear.
In fact, as long as Guanyin and Buddha are not from the hands of people in Xuanmen, they are just ordinary decorations, and they don't have much effect on their own, and you can wear them with anything.
And the Guanyin and Buddha from the hands of the people in Xuanmen, that's more useful.
For example, Zhuo Jinglun, who is one year old, should be Zhuo Jinglun to be precise, and the jade Buddha on his neck is used to calm the soul.
To put it simply, soul-suppressing is to prevent the souls from running out. It is divided into good and evil according to the specific purpose of the person who uses it.
This jade Buddha is the same as the soul-soothing talisman that Su Yunshao painted on Shi Lian's body in order to prevent Shi Lian's soul from dispersing in the process of deworming. The premise is... to remove the jade bead on the jade Buddha.
The jade beads were stained with the breath of dozens of vicious ghosts. For children with pure souls, it was the end of day and night being frightened.
Such a young child can at most call Mom and Dad. He doesn't know what makes him afraid, and he can't express his meaning. No matter how much we cry, the elders don't know what he is crying.
While being stunned and frightened, back and forth, day and night, Zhuo Jinglun's childhood life should not be too miserable.
There is nothing special about Zhuo Jinglun's birth date. It must be said that the wood energy is strong, that is, there is no accident. This person will have a healthy life, less sickness and less pain, and his resilience is better than ordinary people.
So who and for what purpose gave such a malicious gift?
Seeing that Su Yunshao had been staring at the photo without looking away, Dad Su followed her gaze, what did Yunyun look at Xiao Jinglun? It's not like he's cute and loves the house and Uda Jinglun, right?
"… Yunyun?"
"Dad." Su Yunshao pointed to the jade Buddha on the neck of Zhuo Jinglun in the photo, "Look at the background, this is my brother's birthday banquet, right? Who gave this jade Buddha as a gift? I looked at the sculptor. good."
That's it! Dad Su breathed a sigh of relief, and he said that his daughter should not like Zhuo Jinglun's thin bamboo pole.
"It was given by his grandmother. It is said that it is a good thing passed down by the ancestors. Children are prone to panic and need to wear a jade Buddha to press down. It is said that Zhou Hong also used it when he was a child, and it was very useful."
Su Yunshao: ?
Wait, Zhou Hong's mother? ? ?
According to the results of the investigation sent by Bai Xingchen, Zhou Hong's father drank heavily and did not work all the year round. Her brother often stole money from the family and went out to hang out with others.
Can such a family allow such a good jade Buddha to survive? deceive who?
The matter of secretly investigating Aunt Hong cannot be said, but Su Yunshao speaks from another angle.
"The condition of Aunt Hong's family should be very good. I think the line of this jade is smooth, the carving is exquisite, and it is vivid. It makes people feel happy when they look at it. It should be from a famous family. The jade Buddha itself has no flaws, and it is green. The location is good, at least it costs hundreds of thousands."
Dad Su highly praised this accurate review and estimate. With her daughter's ability to speak clearly just by looking at the photos without touching the real thing, who would dare to laugh at her growing up in the country without aesthetics and vision? !
It's just that I don't know about the elders, so I made a little mistake at the beginning.
Now that his daughter already knew that Zhou Hong was not a good person, Dad Su had no intention of concealing it, "Your aunt Hong's family background is not good."
Dad Zhou turned out to be just an ordinary vegetable vendor. He lived a decent life. Later, he married Mother Zhou, and the husband and wife ran a business together.
Zhou Hong's older brother was born at that time. He has never experienced the life of buying whatever he wants to eat since he was a child. He sells fruit at home, and he can only eat some crumpled and rotten fruit.
In a few years, the couple got up early and spent a lot of time in the dark, made a lot of money, bought a house and a car, and their living standards improved. Thinking of the days of searching in the past, they couldn't help but feel guilty and generous to their son. At this time, Zhou Hong was born.
Compared with her elder brother, who has been suffering since childhood and finally enjoying happiness, Zhou Hong grew up being held in the palm of his hand.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were willing to invest in Zhou Hong and sent them to learn calligraphy, ballet, piano, and violin, and she did not fail to learn anything from other children in the community.
Later, the couple's business expanded and their appetites grew. Dad Zhou was no longer satisfied with this small business, and followed his friends to speculate in stocks.
There are risks in stock trading. Dad Zhou is not the material. He blindly trusts his friends. He not only smashes all the funds in his hand, but also mortgages his house and car to invest in stocks. He has no idea that eggs cannot be placed in the same one. The truth of the basket.
The more you lose, the more you want to earn, and the more you want to make money, the easier it is to get caught.
In just a few months, Zhou's father completely destroyed his and Zhou's ten-year business operations, and the Zhou family suddenly grew from a well-off family with surplus to a debt-ridden family with heavy debts.
At that time, Zhou Hong was seven years old, and suddenly moved from a beautiful two-story small house to an old apartment building. From a little princess who wore a princess dress to learn ballet and piano, she suddenly turned into a gray who needs to do housework at home every day. Girl, the gap is not too big.
Dad Zhou came back dejected. He was no longer the high-spirited look he used to hold his head high, and he was much quieter. He liked to sit in the restaurant alone and drink stuffy wine, but in the end he still assumed the responsibility of the head of the family, and worked with Zhou's mother again. Businesses run to pay off debts.
It wasn't long before Zhou Hong's brother broke into the lock of other people's gold shop at night to steal, and stole all the jade, gold and diamonds kept in the shop. The amount involved was relatively large. He was caught by the police and sent to prison.
After I asked, I found out that Zhou Hong's brother was used to a life of lavishness.
The money and valuables at home are gone, can Zhou's mother not know? She just pretended to be deaf and mute and shielded her son.
Since then, Zhou's father has been drinking more. He doesn't know when he contracted alcoholism. He was drunk during the day and stopped doing business to make money.
The family's income depends entirely on Zhou's mother, who not only has to pay off the debt to pay the interest, but also support the family's food and drink. The situation of the Zhou family is even worse.
As for the jade Buddha worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, it may be that Zhou's mother hid it a little deeper and was not found by her husband and son, or it may have been redeemed later when she became rich. After all, it was passed down from her ancestors. Old objects, lost ashamed of ancestors.
Dad Su said: "Zuoran and Zhou Hong were in love at the time, and within a few months, Zhuo Ran asked for marriage and took me to prepare together. I was not at ease, so I asked someone to check Zhou's house."
The situation found earlier was really bad, but when Zhou Hong was in his teens, Zhou's worst father and brother died, and there was only one mother who silently carried the whole family without complaint.
Which of the neighbors doesn't praise Zhou's mother? It's just that life is a little harder, and with such a husband and son on the stall, it's not easy for a few days.
Although Dad Su thinks that Zhou Hong is a little wrong, the brothers have fallen into a vortex of love, and are shrouded in the halo of wisdom. They don't listen to anything they say.
Su Yunshao: ?
"I remember Yiyi saying that Aunt Hong was here to be her mother's bridesmaid. Did you marry your mother so early?"
Dad Su: "Nothing, I want to get married early, but the law doesn't allow it. My mother and I were in a college relationship, and the same goes for Zhuo Ran and Zhou Hong. After two months of dating, Zhuo Ran asked for marriage, and I helped him. I prepared a lot, but then I don't know what happened and didn't propose, but your mother and I got married first."
Speaking of this topic, Dad Su remembered that Su Yunshao hadn't seen the wedding photos of him and Su's mother, so he went to the bookcase to get a few photo albums.
"Look, your mother was beautiful when she was young, and of course she is still beautiful now."
Su Yunshao: "..." Your desire to survive is really strong.
In the album, Su's mother is wearing a white wedding dress, holding a bouquet, sitting on a chair, with Su's father in a black suit standing behind her.
There was no intimacy, no light or filter, just Papa Su put his hand on the chair behind Mama Su, and the two of them were filled with happiness.
"Mom was beautiful when she was young, and Dad was handsome when she was young." Su Yunshao praised.
No one doesn't like being praised, and so does Dad Su.
The corners of his mouth just rose, and he heard his daughter who was still praising him just now. "No wonder Aunt Hong has liked Dad for so many years. My son is almost old enough to be a father, and he has not given up. This is Bai Yueguang in his youth what!"
Dad Su's smile gradually stiffened, and he said in his heart, "You are the most intangible feature that pierces people's most painful spots. You are exactly the same as your mother, and this point is also my own, so I didn't run away!"
He raised three fingers and said with a very serious expression: "I must solemnly declare that I only like your mother from beginning to end, and I have no interest in Zhou Hong at all, and I have never had any ambiguity!"
"I believe." Su Yunshao nodded.
Looking at Papa Su's face, you can tell that he is a good man who is single-minded and wholehearted. He is sincere on the inside, doesn't mess around on the outside, and cleans himself very well.
He didn't know that Dad Su stood upright and didn't care about those wild flowers outside. No matter how many things Su Yunshao gave him that could block the rotten peach blossoms, he wouldn't be able to stop him from rejecting those who came.
Dad Su not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but also said, "Since this is the case, Zhou Hong's incident will break out in the future. You must stand on Dad's side and speak for Dad!"
Su Yunshao was stunned, why was Su's father so sure that Aunt Hong's incident would come out?
"I will definitely testify for Dad, but... Did Dad know something? Or did Aunt Hong say something to you?"
Dad Su sighed: "Paper can't hold fire, no matter how you hide it, some truths will surface."
Su Yunshao: ?
Seeing that Dad Su didn't really want to talk about it, she continued to scroll down the album and saw the young Aunt Hong and Uncle Zhuo.
At that time, Aunt Hong was the bridesmaid, and Uncle Zhuo was the best man.
During Su Xuyang's birthday banquet, he took a lot of photos and group photos of the scene. Aunt Hong and Uncle Zhuo also appeared, and their faces showed that there was no third party, and there was no problem with their relationship.
after that…
The three members of Aunt Hong's family don't come to Su's house very often, and Zhuo Jinglun appears less often. The photos seen in Su Yiyin's place are already a large part, and the rest is the group photo of Zhuo Jinglun and Su Xuyang when they were four and six years old.
Su Yiyi was born in November. November in City B is very cold, which is why Su Yunshao didn't find the problem before - the Jade Buddha and Jade Pearl may have been stuffed into the clothes by the Zhuo Jing Wheel, or they may no longer wear them. .
Su Xuyang Zhuo Jinglun was six years old and Su Yiyi was four years old when Su Yunshao turned to the photo of the two families.
She suddenly understood what Dad Su's words meant, and why Dad Su didn't want to go on.
That year, Uncle Zhuo's face showed that he cheated and had a son.
Before Zhuo Jinglun was six years old, Aunt Hong often brought her son back to China, but Uncle Zhuo didn't show up very often.
Through the only photo, Su Yunshao didn't know when Uncle Zhuo cheated and planned to defraud Dad Su.
"Dad, did Uncle Zhuo cheat?"
Dad Su gave a short "ah" first, and then realized what was prolonging the tone, "Why did Yunyun say that?"
Su Yunshao searched for clues and traces based on the known results, not too simple.
"Dad and Mom have a good relationship, and they are so close no matter when they take pictures. On the other hand, Aunt Hong and Uncle Zhuo, they were still very close at the brother's birthday banquet. At this time, they are a little rusty. It also feels discordant between face and heart.”
"It is said that the husband and wife quarreled at the head of the bed and made peace at the end of the bed. There was no overnight feud, and the two of them were too lazy to cover up when they were outside. This shows that there is a big problem in the relationship itself and it is difficult to repair. Aunt Hong's family has only one mother left, which hinders the couple. It's not very likely, there's nothing but cheating, right?"
Dad Su: "..." Is the famous detective Yun Shao you? !
He followed the clues Su Yunshao said to look at the photos, and deliberately pulled out the photo of the first-year-old banquet and the photo of the six-year-old to compare, and was shocked to find that it was really what Su Yunshao said!
In shock, one sentence blurted out: "People say that women are all Sherlock Holmes in their relationship, is that true?!"
Su Yunshao: ?
It's all for the sake of it, and there's no point in hiding it any longer. Dad Su simply finished: "Yes, your Uncle Zhuo has cheated. Not only did he cheat, he also had a relationship with that woman outside who was only one year younger than Jinglun. children."
Su Yunshao's heart jumped, something seemed to be about to surface.
"The object of Uncle Zhuo's derailment is not a foreigner, right?"
Dad Su: ! !
For sure, his daughter is really a detective.
"Yes, a blond foreigner, he even sent me a picture of the child he had with that foreigner, a very cute boy."
Su Yunshao guessed again: "Did an accident happen later, that foreigner and the boy died?"
Dad Su has been shocked to the point of being speechless by his extremely smart daughter, which shows everything.
"I guess..." Su Yunshao narrowed his eyes, "Zhuo Jinglun was hospitalized with a serious illness when he was young. Is it related to Uncle Zhuo's lover and illegitimate child?"
Having been shocked too many times, Dad Su didn't bother to make an expression, and said with a sullen face, "Yunyun, you can open a detective agency in the future, and the ladies all over the country will treat you as their guest."
With such a high-level famous detective, if the husband's outside lover and illegitimate children are caught, maybe they can get some evidence to let the husband go out of the house, can he not have a good relationship?
"Ha." Su Yunshao was amused by Dad Su's idea.
The Xuanmen boss changed his career to become a detective to catch the lover and the mistress. Isn't that overkill?
As long as you send a ghost envoy to watch closely 24 hours a day, why does it need to be so troublesome?
It's not good to laugh out loud at such a serious moment, Su Yunshao hurriedly raised his face, "Be serious, we are talking about serious business!"
This time, it was Papa Su's turn to be amused by her, and after laughing, he returned to the topic.
"What happened between the two of them? Your Uncle Zhuo didn't tell me, but there are only a few reasons why a man cheated. In the end, he still can't control his lower body..."
Zhou Hong met Su Ma in junior high school. Su Ma’s family was well-off, and she was very kind to this friend. She usually sent clothes, shoes, jewelry and food. Those activities in the circle would bring Zhou Hong, who was the leader of Zhou Hong’s entry into the upper-class circle.
When Dad Zhou died, there were no two burdens in the family that would only hold back the family, and the economy became rich, and Zhou Hong's calligraphy, piano and illustration classes started.
In just a few years, Zhou Hong surpassed Su Ma, who had studied since childhood, in terms of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, flower arrangement and tea art.
Although there is a reason why Su Ma is not interested in those, Zhou Hong does have a lot of talent in this area, and there is a lot of hard work and sweat behind it.
Although Zhou Hong's background is not good, she herself is very motivated, long-sleeved and good at dancing. She is very happy in the circle. She is Zhuo Ran's virtuous inner helper and has helped him win over a lot of business.
Earlier, he was not optimistic about Zhuo Ran's marriage to Zhou Hong, and laughed at him for marrying a woman who was not helpful to him. Later, they all changed their minds and said that Zhuo Ran had a good vision, found a potential stock, and married the right wife.
However, under such circumstances, Zhuo Ran still cheated.
The object of derailment is not much better than Zhou Hong, not even an ordinary office worker, but a dancer dancing in a bar.
"Dancer?" Su Yunshao couldn't figure it out. "This job and identity experience are too limited. What can Uncle Zhuo, who has been from a good family background, have something in common with her?"
This kind of thing, people who have never been in love have no experience, it is really impossible to understand.
With so many shocks and setbacks from his daughter today, Dad Su finally felt the sense of responsibility and achievement of being a father to solve his daughter's doubts.
"How do you say it? Sometimes men cheat not because the women outside are better than their wives, but just looking for a novelty, or looking for things in women outside that they can't get in their wives."
When he said this, Su Yunshao immediately understood: "Did Uncle Zhuo find out about Aunt Hong's thoughts towards Dad? That's why he wanted to find the love, dependence, and attention that his wife should have for him wholeheartedly from women outside."
Dad Su squeezed out an embarrassed yet polite smile, "Yunyun, you can skip the previous sentence."
How can you skip it? That is a necessary prerequisite.
Su Yunshao understood that Dad Su didn't want to be repeatedly mentioned that he was remembered by his wife's best friend. This kind of embarrassing and goosebumps thing, compared to a received gesture, she would not mention it again.
Dad Su nodded in relief, and then said, "I don't know exactly what's going on, and it's impossible for your Uncle Zhuo to directly ask me about this kind of thing. It was only when I was chatting that you sent me a photo, and I found out that he cheated on him and the object of his cheating. Still a dancer."
A large part of the bosses in the circle raise young and beautiful models or Internet celebrities outside, and some have more than one or two. It is almost a habit and a trend. When they go out to dinner, they will bring them with them, or call a few over. To help.
Judging from Zoran's business map and net worth abroad, it's not a problem to find a famous model and actor, and to find a bar dancer as a lover... This matter itself is more like a provocation and silent contempt for Zhou Hong: Look, You are not even a dancer!
Just thinking about it, Dad Su felt that after Zhou Hong found out, it would be difficult to end without a divorce.
He persuaded Zhuo Ran to cut off the relationship and return to the family before Zhou Hong found out. And have a child.
In fact, Zhou Hong found out that her husband had cheated for a long time, but she didn't say it for the sake of face. Perhaps there was also the reason why she didn't love this man and didn't care.
Later, the dancer who was raised outside was unwilling to be just a lover, and brought her son to the door to make a scene. She pushed the six-year-old Zhuo Jinglun and rolled down the stairs, landing on the back of her head. She was immediately sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and became a vegetable.
"Your uncle Zhuo came in a hurry when he heard the news, and just saw Xiao Jinglun being pushed down the stairs. He locked the mother and son in the villa and prevented them from going out. He went to the hospital with Zhou Hong. That night, the villa caught fire late at night. The mother and son were burned to death."
Before seeing that Zhuo Jinglun's soul was formed by splicing the souls of two people, Su Yunshao still doubted this statement, but now... he doesn't believe a single word.
"Can you show me the picture of that kid?"
"It's more than ten years ago, and I don't know if there are any. I'll look for it." Considering that the mobile phone is often changed, Dad Su went directly to the cloud to find it according to the year, and he really found it.
There are not only the photos of the mixed-race boy, but also the photos of the dancing girl. I don't know if I don't look through it, and there are many more.
Seeing the appearance of the mixed-race boy, Su Yunshao knew the source of Zhuo Jinglun's soul: his half-brother.
Under such circumstances, she wouldn't believe Aunt Hong's handwriting in the incident where Uncle Zhuo's lover and illegitimate child were burned to death by the fire.
Su Yunshao saw that most of the souls looked exactly the same as Zhuo Jinglun's current appearance. He was only 21 years old. He didn't expect to be one year older, but fortunately, it did not affect the final result.
"Dad, do you think that fire was an accident?"
Dad Su shook his head silently, "Your Uncle Zhuo has the same question, but there is no evidence. Zhou Hong has a motive and no time to commit the crime. When the crime happened, their husband and wife were in the hospital guarding their son, and they were too anxious to come out. Zhou Hong's mobile phone was not brought out at home. The police did not find any traces of arson, which ruled out the possibility that she hired a murderer to set fire to murder."
Either the person Aunt Hong was looking for was so skilled in committing the crime that it could confuse the police, or...the fire wasn't set by people, so naturally no relevant evidence could be found.
It was known that Aunt Hong had contacts with people in Xuanmen, and Zhuo Jinglun's soul was cut, pieced, and sewn together. Su Yunshao preferred the latter.
Therefore, Uncle Zhuo does several paternity tests every year, not only to know if Zhuo Jinglun is his biological son, but also to know which biological son he is?
