Chapter 39 That's the way back from their youth
"Come on, my little day, finish the ginger soup." Grandma carefully brought the cooked ginger soup to Chu Si Ri, interrupting Chu Si Ri's daze.
"Thank you, grandma." Chu Suri reacted and quickly took over the ginger soup.
Grandma sat next to him and looked at Chu Suri drinking ginger soup one by one mouthful before she was relieved.
"Grandma, I'm fine." Chu Sri noticed Grandma Suri's worried eyes and wanted to reassure her.
"Well, it's okay, it's okay." As Grandma Si Ri spoke, she wiped her eyes with her hands.
"Grandma, why are you crying?" Chu Sri put down the ginger soup and hugged his grandmother.
"It's okay, grandma is fine."
"Grandma, nothing will happen to me, let alone leave you." Chu Si wiped away her grandmother's tears.
"Grandma knows that Si Ri is a good boy." Grandma finally laughed.
"I'm not a good child. Grandma is worried. Grandma, haven't you slept all night?"
"No, grandma just can't sleep. And Xiaoshen didn't sleep with his grandmother, and he was also worried about you. What about Xiao Shen?" Grandma looked around.
"He's going to make up for sleep. Grandma, you can go to bed, too."
"Grandma is not sleepy."
"Go ahead, don't make me worry."
"All right. You're drinking a bowl of ginger soup." Grandma Si Ri walked to the room and didn't forget to turn around to remind Chu Si Ri.
"Okay, I know." Chu Sri's obedientness made his grandmother go back to her room at ease, and Chu Siri followed his grandmother's instructions and drank another bowl of ginger soup.
Then Chu Suri knocked on Shen Shen's door.
"I'm asleep!" Shen Shen yelled at Chu Suri in the room.
"I'm sorry to worry you." Chu Si Ri said to the door.
"..." Shen Shen did not answer, but the door of the room was opened. Chu Siri took the opportunity to enter the door, and Shen Shen returned to the quilt.
"I'm sorry." Chu Sri sat by Shen Shen's bed and said.
"Go and apologize to grandma. She is an old man who stayed up late to wait for you!" Shen Shen sat up and roared at Chu Suri.
"I know."
"I know you still worry us so much!"
"I was wrong."
"..." Chu Siri's attitude of admitting his mistake was so good that Shen Shen didn't know how to vent his anger.
"Deep, if I'm a bad person, would you still be a brother with me?"
"I don't want to!"
"Real? I guess so. Go to bed," Chu Si Ri said and prepared to go back to his room.
"Come back!" Shen Shen said.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"I'm angry. You don't know how to comfort me!"
"Oh, comfort you."
"You... Forget it, I forgive you."
"Oh."
"So, I still want to be a brother with you."
"Oh."
"I said, you are a bad person, and I would like to be a brother with you."
"Oh."
"Oh, you are so good!" Shen Shen smashed the pillow at Chu Suri.
"Oh." Chu Sri then unconsciously raised the corners of the pillow's mouth.
"Go out, I'm going to bed."
"Good night, my brother."
"It's morning now."
"So, good morning?" Chu Siri smiled very well with his pillow in his arms.
"Chair wool!" Shen Shen grabbed the pillow in Chu Siri's hand and hid in the quilt as if I was asleep.
Chu Sri looked at Shen Shen's appearance and left Shen Shen's room with a smile.
"Thank you, my brother." Chu Sri closed the door and whispered softly.
Chu Sri heard Shen Shen's answer that he felt much less guilty. Maybe he would be sorry to many people, but as long as he was worthy of his family, he would have a clear conscience. At this moment, Chu Sri's heart has completely changed, and he has become more firm and calm.
After another few days, there were no surprises or tragedies. Chu Si Ri seemed to have forgotten his guilt in this ordinary life. However, when the police went to school to find Shen Shen to identify the body that morning, Chu Si Ri knew that his sin had begun.
"Hello, we are from the police."
"Hello." Shen Shen, who was called to the office by the teacher, was a little nervous. He tried to think about what he had done wrong to make the police come to him.
"It's okay. Don't be nervous." The police seemed to see that Shen Shen was a little unnatural, so they comforted him.
"Oh." Shen Shen was still nervously holding his clothes.
"Do you know Liu Qi?"
"Ah, my stepfather's name is Liu Qi." Shen Shen didn't want to say anything.
"Is this the person?" The police took out a life photo for Shen Shen to recognize.
"Yes." Shen Shen was sure, because he could never mistake Liu Qi, who was his stepfather's smiling hypocritical face.
"I'm sorry to tell you this unfortunate news." The policeman looked at Shen Shen with some pity.
Shen Shen was scared by the police's expression and didn't say anything.
"Your stepfather is Liu Qi. His body was found in the suburbs.
"You mean he's dead?" Shen Shen opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"Yes, my condolences." The police seemed to misunderstand Shen Shen and thought he was too sad.
"..." Shen Shen didn't say anything. The words that he died, he died and he finally died. Shen Shen suddenly didn't know whether he was happy or sad. Although Liu Qi is a pervert, he is indeed supporting himself and his mother in the years since his father's death.
"The property left by Liu Qi should belong to your mother according to the law, but as far as we know, your mother has disappeared, so these properties belong to you. Since you are not yet an adult, these properties should be kept by the Public Security Bureau first, and you can go to the Public Security Bureau to collect them when you become an adult.
"Thank you." Shen Shen finally woke up from the shock.
"You're welcome." The police said goodbye to the teacher and left, while Shen Shen had been standing still and didn't know what to do.
" Shen Shen." The head teacher heard from the police that Shen Shen's father passed away, his mother's missing stepfather also passed away. He felt that Shen Shen was so pitiful, so he hugged Shen Shen.
"Teacher?" Shen Shen was a little stunned when he looked at the head teacher holding his tears in his arms.
"Shen Shen, why didn't you tell the teacher?" The head teacher felt that Shen Shen was so strong, so he choked and asked.
"Teacher, I'm fine."
"Shen Shen, remember to find the teacher if there is anything in the future, okay?"
"Thank you, teacher. Goodbye, teacher." Shen Shen broke free from the teacher's arms and hurriedly left the office.
What Shen Shen didn't know was that the head teacher cried fiercely in the office that day because of Shen Shen's experience. What a kind head teacher. Unfortunately, Shen Shen didn't feel anything about Liu Qi's death, and maybe he was a little happy.
"What's going on? Good students are also called to the office? Chu Sili saw Shen Shen coming back and began to make fun of him.
"Sri, my stepfather is dead." When Shen Shen saw Chu Si Ri, he quickly told him what he heard. After all, Chu Si Ri is his family now.
"Real?" A trace of surprise flashed in Chu Siri's eyes, and then calmed down and asked in a very ordinary voice.
"Well, Si Ri, he was killed!"
Chu Si looked at Shen Shen quietly and waited for his next step.
"Sri, I don't know how I should feel."
"How do you feel?"
"I'm very happy." Shen Shen's answer made Chu Siri feel a little less guilty. Then Shen Shen said, "But I'm also a little sad. After all, he did raise me for a few years, and he was really good to us when my mother just married him." Shen Shen's words made Chu Sri a little overwhelmed, perhaps a deep guilt.
"Sri, who do you think killed him?" Hearing Shen Shen's question, Chu Si's heart trembled for no reason.
"I don't know."
"Who is it?" Shen Shen began to mutter to himself.
"Do you hate the man who killed him?"
"I don't hate it."
"Why?"
"I don't know. In fact, I'm very grateful to that person. Si Ri, am I too bad to thank the murderer?"
"No." Chu Si Ri breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sri, I'm so happy that my stepfather was killed. Am I..."
"He deserves it."
"Hmm." Shen Shen sat quietly in his seat and didn't know what to think.
"Sri?"
"Hmm." Chu Si's response.
"He left some property."
"So?" Chu Si asked.
"When we become adults, let's sell his house. I don't want to go back to live."
"Good."
"I have money to give to my grandma." Shen Shen was a little happy.
"Hmm."
"Sri, do you think I'm bad?"
"No, why do you say that?"
"I'm going to sell the dead people's things."
"That's what you deserve."
"Sri, thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Sri?"
"Hmm."
"It's okay."
"Oh, it's time for class. Listen carefully."
"Good." Shen Shen and Chu Sri were not talking. Shen Shen was disgusted with himself because he felt that he was too hateful, while Chu Sri was guilty because his behavior ended a person's life. Although Chu Sri did not do it himself, he did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of him.
That night, Chu Si-ri was called out of the house by a phone call from Brother Qiang, but Chu Si-ri deliberately came out when Grandma and Shen Shen were asleep to prevent them from being alarmed.
"Sid, this is your dividend." Brother Qiang got out of a black car and threw a kraft paper bag to Chu Suri.
"I don't want it." Chu Siri let the paper bag fall to the ground and didn't catch it.
"You deserve it."
"I don't want it." Chu Suri was disgusted when he thought about the origin of the money.
"You child." Brother Qiang picked up the paper bag on the ground and put it on Chu Sri's hand. Chu Sri could not refuse.
"Children." Brother Qiang said again, "To be honest, your idea of reselling human organs really made me a lot of money. The Liu and other person you mentioned bought hundreds of thousands of organs. Isn't it ironic to think that it looks so disgusting and the result is so valuable?" Brother Qiang grabbed Chu Si Ri's hand and made Chu Si Ri unable to throw away the paper bag.
"Is his heart black?" Chu Suri looked at Brother Qiang and asked.
"Haha... No, it's red, more red than flowers."
"I thought it was black."
"Child, why did this man provoke you? Are you going to kill him?"
"You killed him."
"It's the ideas you provided."
"He borrowed your usury and didn't pay it back. You killed him."
"That's your excuse for me to help you kill him."
"..." Chu Sri didn't want to look at Brother Qiang's eyes, and he didn't want to see that you were the murderer.
"Kid, it's dark here." Brother Qiang put his index finger on Chu Siri's left chest.
Chu Si Ri opened Brother Qiang's hand.
"Of course," Brother Qiang pointed to his chest, "mine is also dark."
"..." Chu Siri still didn't say anything.
"Child, follow me. You were born to do this."
"No." Chu Suri grabbed the paper bag hard and turned away.
"Child, you will come to me."
"You give up." Chu Sri shouted with his back to Brother Qiang.
"Haha..." Brother Qiang laughed to himself.
That night, Chu Siri looked at the bag of money sent all night.
