Chapter 21 fourth quarter

Di Bin knocked on the door three times, but there was no answer.He worked up his courage and pushed the door open. When he saw Li Lan for the first time, Di Bin was a little surprised.At first, I thought my sister-in-law must be crying heartbroken, but at this moment she is so calm, there is not a single tear in the corner of her wrinkled eyes. "Sister-in-law, it's me..." Di Bin said softly and entered the room.Only then did I realize that on the small table in the center, there were a few pieces of children's old clothes. Except for the missing Heizi and Rou'er who guards the emptiness alone, the other five sons and daughters of Lian Shou also got married outside and lived ordinary lives.One of the youngest sons died of early illness.They, as well as Yu Agou, had filled Li Lan's empty heart for a long time.She has preserved the clothes these children wore when they were young.

The set on the table was bought by Li Lan for Yu Agou when he first entered the capital.Now she was staring at them intently. "Sister-in-law..." "Agou, you're not very likable..." Li Lan picked up a piece of clothing and put it closer to her eyes for a closer look.Since two years ago, her eyes are not very good. "But he's not a bad person, it's just that he's too afraid of losing that's all. You know, that kind of background...and he's always thinking that he's not our own..." "No, you all treated him well..." "Stupid boy. It's okay, anyway, he has lived for nearly thirty years. Happier than my son..."

"Sister-in-law!" Di Bin walked up to Li Lan and took one of her hands. "Don't be like this, are you blaming the boss for sending Agou into the army? He didn't expect this, no one expected it, don't hate the boss. I know, the boss is also heartbroken now..." Li Lan stared at Di Bin for a long time. "Uncle Six... how many years have you been with Runsheng?" "...Thirty-one years." "But you..." Li Lan said with a wry smile, "You don't know your boss at all." Li Lan's words made Di Bin's face change. "No..." Li Lan continued, "It's not that you can't think of it. It's just that you never dare to think about it... Uncle Six is ​​always the one with the best heart..."

Di Bin clenched Li Lan's palm tightly. "Sister-in-law... what are you talking about?" "Do you think that Runsheng will be sad when Agou dies? No, at most he's just a little annoyed that something went wrong with his arrangement..." "How did sister-in-law say that?" Di Bin was a little annoyed. "Agou is the son of the boss after all, how could the boss..." "Since that time, I have been unable to have children." Li Lan's words made Di Bin's anger disappear.The sister-in-law was really sober when she said this. "But for so many years, Runsheng has not found another woman to spare some blood for him, only Agou is the adopted son. Don't you find it strange?"

It's not that Di Bin hasn't thought about this problem, especially Yu Agou is not a material for the future hall master at all. "Maybe it's just because the boss loves you..." Li Lan shook her head. "He wants to take a concubine, do I have room to object? He is the 'boss'. Besides, after the doctor concluded that I could no longer have children, I once asked him to find a woman to give birth to him, but he ignored me. He single-handedly You have acquired such a large foundation, but you have no plans to leave it to your son?" Di Bin was speechless.

"Then it finally dawned on me that he really didn't care." "how come……" "There is only one thing he really cares about: holding the most power in his hands during his lifetime, that is the only thing in the world that satisfies him." "Sister-in-law..." "After he dies, whether the 'Dashutang' is passed on to you, to Agou, to a stranger, or even collapsed...he doesn't care about it." "There is only one person he loves in this world. Not your brothers. Not me." Di Bin let go of Li Lan's palm in a daze. He remembered the words Ning Xiaoyu said many years ago, how similar to what Li Lan said.

"Uncle Six, leave as soon as possible. There is nothing worthy of your protection here." ——"Bai Dou... let's go..." Qi Chu also said this before he died. "No!" Di Bin said loudly. "What you said is not true! You haven't left the boss either!" "There is no way." Li Lan's face showed the bitterness accumulated for many years. "After I understood what kind of person Runsheng is, I found out...I still love him. I will keep watching him until the end." Di Bin kept shaking his head and backed away. "Leave. If you don't leave, I have a hunch that there will be more terrible things waiting ahead..." Li Lan picked up the child's clothes again, and buried her face in it.

Di Bin ran away from the room immersed in grief, and went straight to the courtyard of the atrium.He bowed his head and panted, not because he was running, but because he was upset. After his breathing subsided, he looked up. The bright and clear moon hangs in the hollow, sprinkling his body into light blue. The same moonlight as the night before Lian Shou left. ——What is the purpose of living? He seemed to see Brother Wu's considerate smile again. It seems to hear the song of Grandpa Xiong. He looked at the moon and wept silently.
