Chang Ze looked relieved, messed up Zhang Lan's hair, and hinted: "For this reason, I forgive you. Is there anything else you haven't explained? Take this opportunity, we can talk about everything."

Zhang Lan was puzzled.

Chang Ze reminded: "For example, what you said last time that you lied to me."

Zhang Lan understood, that matter was much more important than Zhang Qi's matter, and involved a lot, it wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it, it was because he was really afraid to say it.He was the child of sister Jiajia whom he had been looking for. The cause of his sister's disappearance was him, and the result was him. Even more than half of the reason for her death was because of him.How would Chang Ze feel when he found out?What will happen to him?Can they still be like this?

Zhang Lan remained silent, and the atmosphere that had just eased down again. He withdrew Chang Ze's hand and faced Chang Ze with a posture of resistance.

Chang Ze: "Don't you want to say it?"

Zhang Lan was reluctant, he was afraid that the happy time would be too short, so he only called him by his name: "Chang Ze..."

Looking at it like this, Chang Ze knew that if he didn't take the initiative to speak, the wall would never be broken, so he had to find an entry point first: "Perhaps, you should call me uncle, I am very close to the Chen family, you can call me uncle too." of."

Zhang Lan suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, his back straightened, and he looked surprised, as if he didn't know what Chang Ze was talking about: "...what?"

Chang Ze didn't give him a chance to escape: "Alan, you know what I'm talking about."

Zhang Lan didn't know how to answer. He thought that Chang Ze would know and he would tell him sooner or later, but he never thought that Chang Ze would know all the truth without his knowledge.Will Chang Ze still like me if he finds out?This was Zhang Lan's first reaction.He didn't dare to ask, didn't dare to answer, his mind was like a scene that had just been blown by a strong wind of level 17. It was chaotic and the system collapsed.

Seeing that he was not in good condition, Chang Ze blamed himself for being too straightforward, fearing that he would scare him, so he sat up on the edge of the bed with his feet on the ground, took the initiative to get closer to Zhang Lan, and hurriedly comforted him: "Ah Lan, I didn't want to It's your fault. I want to understand it all, I just want you to tell me yourself, if you don't want to say it, we won't say it. "

"I don't blame you", Zhang Lan only firmly grasped these four words in a panic. Although it was as light as a water plant, it was enough to prevent Zhang Lan from drowning.These four words entered his ears, spread to the center of his brain, and were automatically translated into: I will never dislike you.

With this guarantee, Zhang Lan felt much calmer, and was able to speak: "How do you know?"

My sister had promised him that it was impossible to say, even for the sake of the Zhang family's face, a few people like the third grandpa would not say it.Then who else?Just by reasoning?That's not so sure, because there is no evidence, and all you can hear is the speculation of the outsider.Zhang Lan really couldn't think of anyone else.

Chang Ze: "Doctor Wu, do you still remember?"

After going back with Dr. Xiao Wu that time, Chang Ze met Dr. Wu who had opened a clinic in the town and also treated Chen Jia.When Dr. Wu heard that he and the younger brother of the Chen family had been looking for Chen Jia, he sighed and talked about the past with shame and self-blame.At that time, like most people, he had no money or power, and he only opened a small clinic, which mostly treated people in the town, and rarely treated people in the village.Suddenly one day, the fourth grandma of the Zhang family came. She said that someone in her family was sick and asked him to go home with her.He took the medicine kit and left, but he didn't go to the fourth grandma's house in the town that he knew. Instead, he went to Shanping Village, where he also came for the first time, and it was also the first time he saw Chen Jia.She was very beautiful, even though she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her face pale, and she was wearing the simplest clothes at that time, but Dr. Wu had an intuition that she did not belong here.Grandma Si briefly introduced her: my daughter-in-law.Doctor Wu didn't want to talk too much, so he prescribed some medicine for her, and Zhang Cen went back to get the medicine.

This was the first time that Dr. Wu came to the village to treat Chen Jia. Every time after that, Zhang Cen led him there and went back with him, declaring that the fourth grandma was in poor health. This continued for 8 or 9 days. Year.During the period, Dr. Wu also suggested to Grandma Wu that this was not the way to go. The medicine he prescribed would treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Sometimes even the symptoms could not be cured. Chen Jia needed to go to a big hospital for better treatment.But the fourth grandma just disagreed.Once Dr. Wu was very angry and asked her why she didn't send it. Isn't Chen Jia her daughter-in-law?Why doesn't anyone outside know about her, and why is she sneaking around when seeing a doctor?The fourth grandma faltered, but didn't say anything.Later, he threatened her that if she didn't speak clearly, she would speak out, and he stopped seeing a doctor.Only then did the fourth grandma speak, this is the daughter-in-law she bought, she came from the city, and she would be found in a big hospital, so she had to move to the village, and she had to go to Dr. Wu every now and then, and begged him not to tell the truth, and not to call the police .An old man who was over half a century old knelt down at his feet, tears streaming down his face, sobbing choked up, he temporarily softened his heart and agreed.

This moment of soft heart brought him endless regret and self-blame afterwards.Every time he saw a doctor for Chen Jia, Chen Jia was always mentally weak, drowsy, serious illnesses persisted, and minor illnesses continued.But she will tidy herself up, laugh when she sees him, chat with him, and say hello politely.Sometimes Zhang Lan and Zhang Cen will be there, she always smiles and treats others gently.Dr. Wu has never seen her lose her temper and change her face. She is too kind, and he can give too little. Dr. Wu can't face her, and can't face his promise to the fourth grandma.Every time he entered the village, he was in pain. Even after she passed away, the pain and guilt would still be postponed.

Except him, plus their previous guesses.It was only later that Chang Ze remembered that something was wrong with Zhang Cen at the dinner table for the first time. At that time, they were only immersed in the disappointment that no one knew about Sister Jiajia, and they didn't notice Zhang Cen's words.She said, "A 20-year-old girl was forced to leave her relatives and the hometown she was familiar with." "20", he and Chen Nan never mentioned Sister Jiajia's age, Zhang Cen could tell her age in just one photo, and it was an exact number, if it wasn't really luck, then it was suspicious.

Chang Ze: "Alan, does your third grandfather also know about this?"

Zhang Lan nodded: "En."

Chang Ze guessed that he lied when he met the third grandpa from the very beginning.At that time, he didn't think that the third grandpa would lie to them. On the one hand, he acted very naturally, and what he said was very suitable for his situation at the time. On the other hand, it was Li Juan who said that the third grandpa and Zhang Zhong's father were at odds. You must know that it has been publicized long ago.He suffered from the preconceived error of thinking it was so.But later he figured it out, no matter how bad the two brothers were, they were still a family.If the third grandpa said it, it would not only damage the face of Zhang Zhong's family, but also the face of his old Zhang family. Regardless of the level of reason, the third grandpa would not say it.

Zhang Lan almost forgot that Dr. Wu knew about it. He thought he should have forgotten what happened in Shanping Village long ago.He didn't want to recall the days when Dr. Wu came to the house, although he brought hope to their family, every time Dr. Wu saw the doctor, his mother's symptoms would be better.But every time he came, it meant that my mother's illness was so painful that she couldn't resist the usual medicine.
