Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Han Shu, this is my business!

In the evening, when the lights came on, there was a smell of dampness after the sprinkler truck passed by in the air, and there was no wind, which was not far from Han Shu’s ideal state. In the chic tea restaurant, the taste of lemon tea was as good as ever , the girl in the restaurant has a sweet smile, but today's Han Shu is puzzled.His body was cold and hot, and his legs were under the somewhat narrow table, shaking uncontrollably. Han Shu tried his best not to think about the scene that was like an atomic bomb explosion to him just now. There were no children and nothing terrible. He kept poking the lemon slices in the cup with the straw in his hand. He also carried several seeds. The scary thing is that just such a word "zi" reminded him of the phrase "children". Imagination is really a terrifying thing.Child, child, child... It seemed that someone kept chanting this magic spell in his ear.That girl——Han Shu hoped that she was just a neighbor's little sister, maybe the youngest daughter of the owner of the small shop, but he clearly saw her enter the broken iron gate in the yard with Xie Junian. Hours didn't show up again.

While waiting, Han Shu used his position shamefully to call the neighborhood committee of Xie Junian's community to inquire about her situation on the grounds of assisting in the investigation. The cooperation of the aunt on duty in the neighborhood committee was beyond his imagination. She didn't even ask Han Shu which procuratorate she was and why the case came. She just told her everything she knew about Xie Junian, and added a lot of content beyond the needs of handling the case. It is precisely because of this aunt's enthusiasm that Han Shu now knows at least the following: Xie Ju Nian is currently single in the column of marital status. He came back here to rent an apartment almost eight years ago, and changed jobs several times. At present, I have been working in this fabric shop for almost four years. It is not easy for me to become the store manager from a young clerk.Her daily work and rest time is almost the same as what Han Shu himself found out. There are no particularly close friends, no relatives, and no particularly close men appearing near her residence. She lives with a girl who is ten years old this year. , in the fourth grade of a nearby elementary school, the child takes her surname Xie and calls her aunt, but the household registration is not with her.

According to Ju Nian herself, this is the child of a cousin of hers. The cousin has no fixed place all year round, so she takes care of the child temporarily. This "temporary" has been a long time so far, and the old residents nearby know it. Not long after she moved here, this little baby who was just learning to walk appeared next to her, and the cousin she was talking about was basically no one had seen.The aunt of the neighborhood committee told Han Shu on the other end of the phone mysteriously, "If she was not young, many people would think that the girl was born by herself. How can parents never care about their children and even rarely visit them? That Who knows if my cousin exists."

After discovering Han Shu's silence for a long time, the old aunt who is enthusiastic about public welfare asked with concern: "Comrade prosecutor, did she commit another crime in Juan? We know that she has a criminal record, and we have always paid more attention to her. However, she has lived nearby for so long, and she seems to have always kept herself safe. Although she doesn't like to socialize with others, she gets along well with neighbors and everything. The landlord also said that she can't tell that she has been in prison. But Ah, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing the heart. By the way, I heard that recently there was a young man who was always driving around the place where she lived. It was very suspicious. We will pay attention to it. If we need assistance, we will definitely report her actions. Report in time."

The aunt of the neighborhood committee treated Xie Junian as a potential criminal, as if someone had slapped Han Shu hard on the face, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and almost forgot that he asked the neighborhood committee to assist in the investigation. In the name of shamelessly prying into her privacy.He highly praised the old aunt's "legal concept", hung up the phone, and became more and more confused. The more facts he knew and the closer he was to her, the more he felt that the answer was ready to come out. Han Shu touched his arm with his cold fingers after holding the frozen teacup, and felt the skin there, as well as the flesh and blood under the skin, the hot liquid flowing in the flesh and blood, that girl should be so warm , Just like the reproduction of his flesh and blood, this idea is enough to make Han Shu's brain freeze, he can't cry, laughing feels far-fetched, and he has nowhere to express his fear.He is twenty-nine years old this year, and there are still a few months before his thirties. He loves to be crazy, loves to play, loves to be lively, loves to be free, and loves to enjoy himself. Although he also thought about finding someone to marry, the concept of family and responsibility are to him Still very thin, maybe subconsciously, he still regards himself as a big boy.However, a ten-year-old girl was born out of nowhere on a hot wheel like Na Zha, how could he not be shocked to leave his position.

Is Xie Ju Nian the child's mother? If so, who is the child's father and how likely is it?Even a chance of one in ten thousand is enough to make Han Shu restless, what's more, the chance is definitely more than one in ten thousand, he knows it in his heart. "What are you looking at? There is a monster in the cup?" Zhu Xiaobei's smiling voice startled Han Shu. She pulled the stool and sat down. It was a little messy, but Han Shu was not in the mood to laugh at her, just like a terminally ill person is not in the mood to laugh at a patient with facial paralysis. "I thought you would say something like 'I prefer to say hello when you say hello'." After Zhu Xiaobei finished speaking, he found that Han Shu was still silent. He really looked a little strange today. "Han Shu, what hit you, tell me?" A good girlfriend should be so understanding.

Han Shu lowered his head, looking troubled, but when he finally looked at Zhu Xiaobei and clasped his hands tightly, Zhu Xiaobei realized that something might have happened. "Xiao Bei, I think something is wrong with me." "Haha, Han Shu, don't you want to tell me that your ex-girlfriend is pregnant, and the child has been a month old." Zhu Xiaobei tried to defuse the tense atmosphere. She and Han Shu always got along with ease. And happily, she was not used to this scene, but after saying this joke, Han Shu's face turned pale immediately. "Uh, it seems that you don't agree with my sense of humor today." Zhu Xiaobei laughed dryly, "I take back what I said just now, go ahead, Han Shu, I'm mentally prepared."

Han Shu took a deep breath, hooked his fingers, hinted to Zhu Xiaobei to come closer, and Zhu Xiaobei listened cooperatively.Han Shu lowered his voice and said with difficulty: "Xiaobei, I think I really have a child, no...but it's not a month, it's ten years old..." After Zhu Xiaobei listened, she stayed for three seconds, glanced at Han Shu, and slowly leaned her back on the chair back, "The child... is ten years old?" She half-closed one eye, half-turned her head, and kept her lips closed. With a slight arc, he looked at the person opposite him with suspicious and terrifying eyes.But her panic was not caused by the fact of "child", but because of Han Shu, her boyfriend said an unbelievable thing.

"I'm sorry, I know it's hard to believe, trust me, I'm stunned too, but I'm not joking, Xiaobei, I'm serious, I might have a kid around ten years old, girl!" Zhu Xiaobei's reaction was expected by Han Shu, he thought, since the matter has come to this point, it will be more dirty to cover up, if it is the cause he planted, he will definitely taste the fruit. Zhu Xiaobei finally came to his senses, "Han Shu, you are so awesome, ten-year-old child, how old were you when you were a child? Eighteen? Nineteen? Damn, did I ever say that I admire you? ? The elite is so different? You only know the existence of children today?"

Han Shu spread his hands in frustration, "I think so." He felt that he was about to be shocked to death by this crazy incident, and if he had no one to talk to, he would be schizophrenic, "That kid is in elementary school, very beautiful , yes, just like you said, I was only a little over eighteen years old, so I was also petrified." "Is the child's mother your former little girlfriend? It took more than ten years to bring the child to the door to recognize the ancestors? Damn, why is this plot so familiar? She asked you to take responsibility? Did you go for a DNA test? Like TV Played in the movie, the child looks like a copy of you? The child rushed to call you dad?"

Under Zhu Xiaobei's barrage of questions, Han Shu's every answer was negative. "Neither? Then how do you know it's your child? Are you not afraid of being framed? According to my old mother, this society is far more complicated than you imagined? Also, as a legal worker, you have no vigilance at all." ?” "No, oh, how should I put it, she didn't come to me at all, I went to see her secretly, I'm sorry Xiaobei, I didn't tell you this, I have no other intentions, just want to see if she is doing well , As a result, I saw the child next to her. I didn't even go up to ask." Han Shu himself felt a little ridiculous, and didn't know what to say. "Stop! Han Shu, you don't mean to say that you saw a girl walking beside the woman you 'sneaked at', and that girl didn't look exactly like you, so you thought it was your kind ?” After Han Shu nodded, Zhu Xiaobei slapped the table with one hand, “Damn it, I asked you so many professional questions just now, dare you guess all of these wishful thinking? Han Shu, I usually look at you Fu is clever, if you lose the chain at a critical moment, you are not sick, you know your relatives indiscriminately on the street!" Zhu Xiaobei's words are not rough, and Han Shu himself understands these things, but he has no way to tell Zhu Xiaobei that feeling. She has never experienced his past, and no one can do anything about it. understand. "I'm sorry about these things, Xiaobei." This was his only answer. "Being the stepmother of a ten-year-old child, or kicking you out now, if my old mother finds out about any of these possibilities, she will beat me to death!" Zhu Xiaobei wailed. Han Shu braced his head, "You won't be worse than me, the old man will definitely tear off my bones and feed them to the dogs." The conversation with Zhu Xiaobei had no results. In the end, Zhu Xiaobei took the initiative to call for two bottles of Red Star Erguotou, and the two of them drank bottle by bottle, and then comforted each other with words.After two or two drinks, Zhu Xiaobei's face was flushed and his spirits were uplifted, but Han Shu was not used to this high-quality and cheap spirits, and he was even more worried when he was drinking, so he was dragged into the car by Zhu Xiaobei unsteadily, and fell on the driver's seat Woke up after being drowsy for hours. At that time, the moon was high, Han Shu rubbed his eyes, Zhu Xiaobei was listening to the MP3 attentively, chewing gum with his cheeks moving. "What time is it, how long have I been asleep, why didn't you call me?" He rubbed his neck, trying to refresh himself. Zhu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Don't worry, your wine is good, and your sleeping posture is also very good." "Give me one." Han Shu reached out to pick up the chewing gum that Zhu Xiaobei poured out, stimulated by the strong mint smell, he felt that at least half of his soul had been recovered, "It's so late, I'll take you back. " Zhu Xiaobei got out of the car without saying a word, "Don't, don't, I have a bright future like a flower like a jade, and I can't ruin it by drunk driving. I will go by myself. Whoever persuades me is in a hurry!" "Fuck you." Han Shu looked at her and smiled, "They say I'm fine, really don't want me to send it?" "Ask yourself first if you can still drive. If you can't, just take a taxi. Don't let a ten-year-old girl become an orphan." Knowing that Zhu Xiaobei was still laughing at him, Han Shu didn't say anything, told her to be careful if she had to go back by herself, and stepped on the accelerator to leave. He drove the car to the door of the familiar small shop, and the shop was closed. Late night in this kind of place always came faster than in the center of the city. Before twelve o'clock, basically every house turned off the lights, including hers.The sound of people around was quiet, occasionally a few dogs barked vigilantly, accompanied by the chirping of insects from far and near, Han Shu was very tired, he just wanted to take a rest, but fell asleep amidst the ensemble late at night. It was still the owner of the small shop who woke Han Shu up. He looked at Han Shu's car window, saw Han Shu's sleepy eyes open, and grinned, "Good morning, come drink our milk again. Well, it’s not easy to wait all night.” After being embarrassed for a long time, Han Shu got used to it, so he actually bought a bottle, and drank it while boasting, "Your milk is the best in the city, and it's worth the wait." It was just dawn, and Han Shu was still thinking that he must go home to change clothes and wash before going to work. After thinking about it, he remembered that it was the weekend. According to the law, Xie Ju Nian should take turns this year, and she doesn't have to go to work. The baby bottle was returned to the shopkeeper. Seeing that the shopkeeper was busy studying the stock market with the morning newspaper, he was idle anyway, so he chatted casually about stocks with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was still talking without saying a word, but after a while, he began to concentrate, and later simply moved a small stool and sat under the tree next to Han Shu's car, listening with gusto.Han Shu thought, this shop owner doesn't know who is sitting opposite him, the stock god of the People's Procuratorate of Chengbei District, how many people usually chase after him waiting for his advice, he drank a bottle of milk on an empty stomach today, in this urban-rural combination The canteen department of the department just sold his first-hand information and experience unconditionally, without any reason. After chatting with great interest for a long time, the people listening around him also sat in a small circle, stray dogs wandered around his car one after another, and when it was almost ten o'clock, Han Shu heard someone say hello to the owner of the shop. "Uncle Cai, it's really lively here. After you run the club, will you still sell milk?" "Old lady, go get milk for Ju Nian, a bottle of pure milk and a bottle of high calcium." The shop owner Cai Shu yelled, but his attention still did not shift. As Han Shu talked, gradually he didn't know what he was talking about. He was focused on preaching and teaching, but he didn't notice when Xie Ju Nian appeared at the door of the small shop. The line of sight is completely blocked. She was wearing a simple T-shirt and sweatpants, with a pair of slippers on her feet, her face was still sleepy, her hair was not very docile, and her face looked small.Obviously got up from the bed to get the milk, and there is a high possibility of continuing to sleep after returning. This woman is so lazy.Han Shu gritted his teeth in his heart. Back then, she was late for at least two days a week. As a good student, he despised such behavior more than once.And Xie Ju Nian didn't seem to have any plans to exchange stock market experience with him, so he took the milk, turned around and left. Han Shu suddenly hated her a little.The more silent this kind of person is, the deeper the resentment in her heart will be hidden. She remembers the past, and he knows it.It's okay for her to blame him, and it's okay for her to be unwilling, but there are many ways to solve it. After eleven years, he is cowardly. He would rather choose to forget than take the initiative to come to her and ask for forgiveness, but as long as she is willing to speak, He is willing to accept any conditions, pay any price, and give any compensation—any form is fine.But she didn't, she gave birth to a child by herself, and then lived quietly. Isn't this like a snake and a scorpion?He can't get away with it for the rest of his life! Han Shu didn't even want to open the car door and chased him out. Uncle Cai asked loudly from behind, "Should I throw away the COFCO or not? Make it clear before leaving!" Ju Nian, Xie Ju Nian... Han Shu wanted to call her to stop, but he couldn't say the name out of his mouth. He chose to chase after him silently, but I don't know if she realized something. The more he chased, she walked away. The faster he went, he simply trotted all the way in the end. Han Shu was irritated by her attitude, of course he was faster than her.When Xie Junian's hand was about to touch the iron gate, he grabbed her by the clothes. Xie Ju Nian screamed, turned his head abruptly, and flinched obviously in fright. "What are you doing? I only have two bottles of milk on me." She looked in the direction of Uncle Cai and the others in horror, with a signal for help in her eyes, obviously unable to believe that such a thing would happen in broad daylight. "What a mess, I don't want your milk! Why are you running?" "It's you." She seemed to have finally recognized him, and Han Shu let out a long sigh of relief, because Uncle Cai and the others had already craned their necks to look over him. As the leading actor in a soap opera, he was very uncomfortable. "What the hell are you doing with me for so many days? Oh..." She caught sight of the badge on the statement he had no time to replace yesterday, and suddenly realized, "You are the one who came to investigate my procuratorate yesterday... I didn't do anything! " Han Shu was confused, he was completely confused by this woman's jumping thinking, they seemed to be not on the same frequency, and then, he suddenly understood a more terrifying fact - she didn't recognize him. I don't know why, but this realization made Han Shu's eyes a little wet. For so many years, he waited for her punishment, but in the end, she forgot... "How can you let me go?" The words blurted out from his mouth for no reason. She was puzzled and looked at him for a while, at his eyebrows, at his eyes, and then she took a step back, "Han...Han Shu, you are Han Shu!" Han Shu sighed, God has eyes. Xie Ju Nian, who had recovered from the initial accident, had a complicated expression, but when she said, "Long time no see, you've grown taller again", she even had a smile on her face, as if an old friend reunited. "Let go of my clothes first, please, it's deformed." She gestured for him to let go. Han Shu let go of his hand dizzily, and asked again, "Why are you running, what's so shameful?" Ju Nian said, "I suddenly remembered that the water was not turned off at home, so I walked faster. You can call me, I can hear you." Han Shu didn't want to continue talking with her, and went straight to the point, "You still refuse to talk about children, my child." Her astonishment gradually magnified, and her speech became incoherent, "Children? Uh... I didn't see your children, and you are married!" "Nonsense! Do you want me to come in and confront her? What do you mean?" Han Shu's crazy feeling was being awakened little by little when facing her. He only remembered his guilt, and almost forgot her disgust. Xie Ju Nian seemed to tremble slightly again, "You mean... my niece is sleeping in the house, and there are no other children besides her." "Just pretend, your niece is ten years old this year. If I'm not wrong, her birthday should be around March. Her parents in name have never appeared." He knew what he said hit the nail on the head, at least this cunning The woman did not refute. "Han Shu, I don't know why you came here. She is not your child. You made a mistake. She wasn't even born to me. Others don't know. You should know. If I'm pregnant with her, where will the next three years be?" Prison life? How did I give birth to her?" "You never tell the truth!" "Call it what you will, it's obvious." "Whose child is that?" "Han Shu, this is my business." Here it goes again, all their conversations, going around and around, end in this sentence, you are you, and I am me.Han Shu's setbacks erupted like a torrent. Through the old iron door, in the small red brick room, the curtains were lifted, a small face flashed past, and the curtains fell quickly again. "Okay, I didn't expect to meet you. I won't say anything about being happy, lest you say I'm hypocritical. My water is about to boil dry." She pushed open the iron door.Han Shu didn't believe her, but he didn't seem to have the right to stop her.His eyes followed her into the dilapidated courtyard, where dense loquat trees grew along the courtyard wall. "Wait." Han Shu stopped her, "Give me some loquat leaves, I've been coughing a lot lately."
