Chapter 43 Father, Son, Brother

Wu Yuntang really fell ill because of this, although he has been weak for many years, it's just not as dangerous as this time.

I was sick and lingering in bed for many days. When I woke up, I saw a young man sitting in front of the bed, watching him while working on the computer.

Wu Yuntang stared blankly for a long while, until Sang Dianyi realized that he was already awake, and wanted to ask attentively, but at the same time fed him to sleep with his own hands, and at the same time wanted to call the doctor.

Wu Yuntang came back to her senses, and said calmly, "I thought I saw your father just now."

Sang Dianyi smiled slightly and said, "Do I look so much like him?"

Wu Yuntang raised her hand and patted his face, showing a weak smile, "It's getting more and more similar."

Sang Dianyi said helplessly: "I'm his son, and there's nothing I can do about it—Godfather, you really miss my dad. It seems that he must be very kind to you."

Wu Yuntang shook her head, smiled slightly and said, "He treats me very well."

Lying on the sickbed, facing the son of her friend who has passed away for many years, Wu Yuntang suddenly wanted to recall the process of interacting with Sandor from the beginning-although he has been living in the past in essence, sometimes the more he recalls, the more he forgets the original appearance.When those past events are waiting for him to die, they will be annihilated like the words written on the water. No matter how vigorous it was at that time, time will erase everything, as if it never happened.

He tried to recall the details of that day in a panic. At the funeral of his dependent mother, the portrait, the urn, the white chrysanthemum on the altar, the black suit, and the vaguely sad face of the adult, everything was black and white. .Sandor wore a bright yellow shirt with white flowers on that day,--the popular attire of hooligans at that time--but it was unexpectedly suitable for people. He was like the only color in the world of black and white silent films for teenagers. It caught Wu Yuntang's attention.

Sanduo was entrusted by Wu Yuntang's father to come to express his condolences, and took him back to Didu's home by the way.Wu Yuntang has no interest in the legendary father's home.His parents were in a political marriage and divorced when he was young. The reason for the divorce was the intervention of another woman.After the husband admitted that his true love was someone else, and that they had an illegitimate child, the mother ran away from home with her infant son and her remaining self-esteem, and lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River.

In recent years, Wu Yuntang has never heard a single word from that distant father. If it wasn't for his mother's earnest entrustment to him when she was dying, he must never go back to Didu to find his father. He might really think that he is the result of single-cell reproduction. There is no such thing as a father in the world.

It can be said that Wu Yuntang at that time had no plans for the future, and would probably follow her mother's last wish to grow up quietly in that southern town guarding the ancestral property left by her grandfather's family, work, marry a wife and have children, and live in peace. Well, live your life in peace.

So when Sandor bluntly proposed to take him back to live in Didu, Wu Yuntang hesitated. The picture of his mother was still smiling peacefully in the mourning hall. Will he go against her last wish?

Sandor, however, mistook his hesitation for refusal, and half coaxed, half coerced, into the car and left once the funeral was over.

Sitting in the slightly bumpy car with Sandor holding his shoulders tightly, and the hometown getting farther and farther behind him, Wu Yuntang didn't panic at all, but felt that the strange man beside him was very interesting.

Sandor laughed a few times, thinking he was afraid, comforting him and saying: "Second young master, don't be afraid, I really came to pick you up to enjoy the blessings according to the old man's order. This rural place is wronged."

Wu Yuntang blinked and said, "Master Wu really wants me to go back?"

Sandor said: "Of course, he is your own father. There is no father who does not love his son. Your mother is gone, and you are still so young that you can't live alone. There is only one father left. He is you home."

Wu Yuntang thought for a while, and then said, "Then who else is there in my family besides a father?"

Sandor told him that he had an older brother who was eight years older than him, "You two brothers don't really look alike." He squeezed Sandor's chin and looked around.

Sandor patted his hand away, a little bit annoyed, "Of course, I'm like a mother—" thinking about it again, "What else? Isn't there a stepmother in the family?"

Sandor said: "You mean madam? He died last year. The old man was very sad, and he is not in good health..." Thinking that he seemed to talk too much, he changed the subject, "Your family is small, so the old man wants you to go back and reunite. .”

"I'm his son, so he wants me to go back, I understand." Wu Yuntang nodded, "Then why do you want me to go to Didu so much?"

Sandor's expression froze, then he laughed, tightened his arms vigorously, and took the young master's head into his arms, "Of course it's because I fell in love with you, second young master, and I really want to follow you to do some business. .”

Wu Yuntang felt that the body temperature of the people around him was very high, exuding a masculinity he was not familiar with, which made him a little uncomfortable, shaking his shoulders to get rid of this imprisoned embrace, but Sandor thought he was going to struggle to jump out of the car or something, Refusing to let go, she continued to coax her with sweet words.

In this way, just out of a little affection for Sanduo, Wu Yuntang willingly gave up his hometown and the opportunity to live a peaceful life, and followed him to Didu. Since then, he has never returned to his hometown in the south. It's time to forget to go back, and when he thinks about it, he can't go back.

Back at the Wu family's main house in Didu City, Wu Yuntang saw his biological father for the first time since he could remember. However, this old man with a sick face did not make him feel kind.He was born in the beautiful Jiangnan water town since he was a child, and he is only interested in beautiful things.

The words between father and son are also tasteless.Mr. Wu only asked a few questions about his mother's death, and kept silent about the rest, such as their life over the years.

Later, Mr. Wu said, "It's good for you to come back and have a little fun at home. Your brother has always thought that he has few brothers. He should be happy now that he has more brothers. You have to get along well with your brother."

Wu Yuntang didn't know if she was too sensitive, it seemed that the only purpose of Mr. Wu for bringing him back was to be a good brother to his brother, which made him a little unhappy, and he felt a little bit grudge against the legendary brother.

However, what I didn't expect was that this heartache would immediately thrive when he saw his half-brother Wu Yunzhang in person later on, and the estrangement was immediately apparent.

At that time, Wu Yunzhang came back from the outside with shouts and hugs. The young master was full of style. When he saw this seasoned younger brother, his expression and posture were very cold and alienated. The first sentence was-"Are you the son of that woman?"

Wu Yuntang blinked, he didn't even connect the deceased mother with "that woman" in his brother's mouth for the first time.

Mr. Wu scolded softly, "This is your brother!"

Wu Yunzhang's face became even colder, and it could be seen that he did not continue to be self-willed because he was concerned about his father's illness.

Master Wu really loved this eldest son who was brought up by his side. Even if the father and son had quarreled, they didn't hold grudges. He called him to his side, formally introduced the two brothers, and asked them to get along well.

"Your mothers have passed away. No matter what you hear from them, don't blame your brothers. When I am gone, you will be the closest relatives to each other, and everything will be happy with your family."

The younger brother obediently responded.

The elder brother grimaced for a long while before snorting.

Master Wu explained to his second son, "Your brother's temper has been spoiled, but he is not bad. When he was young, he liked to pick up some cats and dogs to raise. He is a soft-hearted person. You have to listen to him in the future and help him well."

Wu Yuntang lowered her eyes, a slightly aggrieved but extremely submissive angle, but what he thought in his heart was that this brother is very annoying, so it's okay not to.

Wu Yuntang has settled down in Didu's house, so the so-called relatives are nothing more than that. His father has been sick all the time, and his brother has taken over most of the affairs. Apart from being busy all day long, he is indifferent. If you don't look at him directly, you can bring some warmth and peace to Wu Yuntang. The only person who has fun is Sandor as an outsider.

Sandor is said to be an orphan. He grew up in Wu's family and helped manage gang affairs. He was appreciated for his ability, especially when Mr. Wu fell ill. In the next few years, there will be a foreseeable transfer of power. People like him The status of the Young Boys is thriving.

Sandor often came to see him, brought him all kinds of delicious and fun things, and took him out to play, and even took him to nightclubs, but he didn't bring anyone out until now, saying that he was afraid that Mr. Wu would blame him for taking bad children .

Wu Yuntang smiled and said: "I am no longer a child, I know that you are doing bad things by bringing people out."

Sandor smiled evilly, put his arms around his shoulders and said affectionately: "You don't have to announce anything bad, it's okay here."

Wu Yuntang didn't hate his intimacy at all, not only didn't hate him, but he liked it secretly, but it wasn't easy to show it, let him hug him and said calmly: "I don't believe it. I'm still a child. You can't do bad things in front of me."

Sandor praised him, "Second Young Master, you can do it! Choose whether you are a child according to the situation. With your talent, you will definitely be suitable for our job in the future."

Wu Yuntang said: "I don't want to be a gangster. The family business will be inherited by my brother in the future, it has nothing to do with me."

Sandor chuckled, but whispered in his ear: "If you want to inherit the family business, I will help you."

It would be treasonous to spread these words. Sanduo didn't know if he was joking or deliberately provoking, Wu Yuntang's heart skipped a beat, and she blinked at him, "You want me to do that?"

Sandor just laughed, "You're still young, let's talk about it in two years."

On the way back, there were only the two of them in the car, Wu Yuntang suddenly said, "Why do you want me to argue with my brother? Aren't you friends?"

Sandor paused, hehe laughed, and took out a driving hand to pat his head as if he were petting a pet, "The second young master is really smart, and he saw the key to the problem right away—then I In turn, I ask you: Do you like the young master?"

Wu Yuntang pouted and said, "I don't like him, he's too proud, why is he so proud? If my mother doesn't divorce, he's an illegitimate child, it depends on my wink." He didn't tell everyone He spoke from his heart, but he naturally told the truth in front of Sandor.

Sandor laughed twice, "You're right, the young master has a cold face and a cold heart, his personality is not suitable for being a gang leader."

Wu Yuntang said, "Am I the right one?"

Sandor praised him as a smart and peerless young man, and Wu Yuntang was elated - he hadn't heard compliments for a long time, not to mention that this compliment came from a person who was very close to him, which was very helpful.

Under his encouragement, Wu Yuntang almost felt that she was the second generation who carried the banner of the family, but suddenly remembered a very serious problem, and frowned and said: "But my father loves my brother so much, the heir has already been decided , if I want to fight, Dad will not agree."

Sandor smiled and said: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run. You are still young, so it is good to have this kind of self-motivation. Remember, I am on your side, the second young master."

Wu Yuntang's heart was warm, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up on the road afterwards.

So he was coaxed by Sandor for the second time in this way, and in a daze, he went on an irreversible wrong path, going farther and farther until the end of the road.
