Since Yan Shouyi went to visit his father in prison, Long Feicheng had no intention of sitting in his chair.
Long Feicheng was extremely curious about the reason for Yan Shouyi's father's crime, and his heart itched as if hundreds of millions of ants were crawling all over his heart.
However, Yan Shouyi had been gone for more than half an hour.
Other people had changed several batches, but Yan Shouyi still hadn't come out.
This made Long Feicheng anxious.
Finally, when Yan Shouyi walked out, Long Feicheng immediately went to meet him.
But he didn't want to ask questions directly, so he rubbed his hands and asked:
"Brother Yan, you're finally out. Did you see our dad? How was the chat?"
"It's alright, I basically got the answers to the questions I wanted to ask," Yan Shouyi replied casually.
Long Feicheng couldn't help himself: "It's good that it went smoothly... Can you explain the question you were halfway through answering just now? I'm really curious!"
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. If Long Feicheng were a cat, nine lives wouldn't be enough for him to die.
This was because the guy's curiosity was too heavy.
"Let's go, let's talk outside."
"Got it!"
The two walked out of Pingshan Prison. Long Feicheng bought a pack of cigarettes at the small store outside. The two squatted by the roadside, smoking and chatting about old times.
"My dad's murder wasn't wrongful. The evidence was conclusive, and he was willing to go to prison himself."
Yan Shouyi took a puff of his cigarette and said slowly:
"Before my father met my mother, he served in the army for two years in the Northwest. But later, he had to inherit the Lu Ban Shu, so he didn't continue to stay in the Northwest, and returned after two years."
"In the army, he had a group of very close brothers. Those brothers all stayed in the army, only my father returned alone. Later, whenever my father mentioned this, he felt a bit lost. He missed his military life."
"Among the soldiers, the one who had the best relationship with him was a brother from Hubei named Zhang Tiao. He and my father had similar interests, and he only wished they were brothers by blood. Three years after my father retired, he also returned, back to his hometown."
"After I was born, my father took me to Hubei a few times, and I also met Uncle Zhang Tiao. Uncle Zhang Tiao was a little older than my father. Before enlisting, he already had a wife and daughter. After retiring, he opened a car repair shop, and his life was going quite well."
"But later, for some reason, he provoked local thugs. The era back then was different from now. Fights were common. That thug first insulted Uncle Zhang Tiao's daughter, then kidnapped his wife. Uncle Zhang Tiao managed to rescue his wife, but then his old mother was knocked unconscious by those thugs. After seven days of unconsciousness, she passed away."
"This dealt a huge blow to Uncle Zhang Tiao. He sought help everywhere, but that thug also had some background, and all complaints disappeared into thin air. The thug remained at large!"
"Desperate, Uncle Zhang Tiao finally took his own life in the middle of a busy street, wanting to make a statement with his death, but it still didn't cause any ripples."
"Three days after Uncle Zhang Tiao's death, my father still didn't know what had happened. He took me to Hubei to find Uncle Zhang Tiao, but we happened to arrive at Uncle Zhang Tiao's funeral. And at the funeral, those thugs were still speaking wildly, unwilling to let go of Uncle Zhang Tiao's wife and daughter!"
"This made my father instantly lose control. He grabbed a wood cleaver and told them to spill blood in the mourning hall!"
At this point, Yan Shouyi took a long breath: "This incident finally blew up. The thugs' actions finally received attention, and my father was arrested and imprisoned. With the help of many friends, his death penalty was commuted to life imprisonment. Later, my father performed well and received consecutive reductions in sentence, which gave him the opportunity to be released."
"My father, like us back then, was young and impetuous, full of passion. He couldn't understand why bad people, after doing all sorts of bad things, never received the punishment they deserved, while good people, after doing just one bad thing, had to bear everything."
"Uncle Zhang Tiao died without a ripple, but those thugs died, and everyone clung to my father."
"In the years my father spent in prison, he always had this knot in his heart. He couldn't get over it, and he became more and more haggard... But this time I saw him, it seemed he had figured it out."
After hearing Yan Shouyi's father's story, Long Feicheng's heart also ignited a fire.
He also felt angry for Yan Shouyi's father.
But murder was still murder.
Yan Shouyi sighed, "My father said that society is much more regulated now, unlike back then. Perhaps that's why he has let go."
Long Feicheng sighed and said, "But for the lives of a few scumbags, our dad spent so many years in prison. It really wasn't worth it!"
"Everyone has their own fate. My father has let go, so we don't need to dwell on it," Yan Shouyi smiled.
"Brother Yan is indeed more open-minded." Long Feicheng pouted, still feeling unconvinced.
After talking about his father's story, Yan Shouyi began to ponder Xue Kai's problem again.
Did he really need Xue Kai to do those dirty jobs for him?
"Brother Yan, where are we going next?" Long Feicheng suddenly asked.
"Of course, back to school to work."
Long Feicheng sighed, "Alas, the school's salary is so low each month, it's not even enough for us to buy cigarettes. This job is really boring!"
Yan Shouyi couldn't help but punch Long Feicheng:
"How many days do you actually work each month? You don't even stand guard as much as I do, yet you complain about this and that! Besides, weren't you the one who wanted to come to Shanghang Arts School to see the pretty girls before?"
Long Feicheng said aggrievedly:
"I was trying to find a girlfriend, who knew that Brother Yan would find one, and I'm still single. Not only am I single, but I was also almost drained to death by a female ghost..."
"Don't blame me for that, you brought it upon yourself!" Yan Shouyi smiled.
Long Feicheng lit another cigarette:
"Damn it, housing prices are getting more and more expensive. I don't know when I'll be able to buy a house. My master said that by following Brother Yan, I would have a life of wealth and prosperity. Where is this wealth and prosperity! Why don't I see it!"
"So, you're blaming me for being poor?" Yan Shouyi said with a wry smile.
Besides being vulgar and lewd, Long Feicheng's biggest characteristic was laziness.
This guy would never stand if he could sit, and would never sit if he could lie down.
He slept in bed all day, it would be a miracle if he got rich!
However, at this moment, Long Feicheng suddenly received a phone call.
The second before he was still cursing, and the next second his face instantly changed.
He covered his mouth, bent over, and spoke to the person on the phone with a face full of smiles.
Shortly after, he hung up the phone, walked over to Yan Shouyi with a smile, and said:
"Brother Yan, from now on, I'll be a homeowner too!"
Yan Shouyi was surprised: "What happened to you? Inherited an inheritance from a distant relative?"
"Heh heh! Even more explosive than that!"
Long Feicheng ran to a roadside stall and ordered two jianbing guozi, with six eggs added!
He perfectly exemplified what it meant to be a nouveau riche.
Now it was Yan Shouyi's turn to be curious. He stepped forward and asked, "What exactly happened?"
