Chapter 647: Giving up

Su Ya was slightly surprised by our arrival, but Su Juan and Su Mei were like seeing a bright sun in the middle of winter, almost cheering and rushing to the car.

Everyone was an acquaintance, so there was no need for courtesy.

I followed them into the house.

Su Ya and the others were dressed like peasant women, with flower towels tied on their heads, looking out of place. I almost laughed when I saw their funny outfits.

The forest farm was contracted by a relative of Chen Meng's colleague, with several big mountains connected together. All the mountains were Northeast pines, which had already become a forest, and the thickest one was actually as thick as a person's embrace.

The forest farm was located at the foot of the big mountain, and there was not a single household in the ten-mile village around. When the owner of the forest farm chose to build a few simple houses at the foot of the mountain, he took a fancy to a clear stream in front of the house. The stream didn't know where it led, and small fish could be seen swimming in the stream. Wild flowers bloomed along the stream, and the moist air was faintly filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Su Ya and the others raised chickens here. I was attracted by the chickens running around the mountain as soon as I got out of the car. These chickens were not fenced in, letting them run all over the mountain. The chickens were raised by the owner of the forest farm. Because Su Ya and the others came, the owner of the forest farm left an old man who had been guarding the mountain for years, and he was happy to move back to the town.

Su Ya and the others undertook the task of raising chickens in exchange for their free living.

This idea was also Chen Meng's. When she sent them here, she said that the three of them couldn't eat for free and had to do some work. As for how long to live and how long to work, Chen Meng didn't say, and Su Ya didn't ask.

Just sat down, Su Mei shouted with a sad face: "Sister Meng, when will you take us out of the mountain?"

Chen Meng asked with a smile: "Can't stay anymore?"

"Of course I can't stay. Sister Meng, look, there are only three of us here, and the only one left is an old man who can't even fart with a millstone. Looking up, there is a piece of sky the size of a palm, and looking down, there is a piece of land the size of a palm. There is nothing, I'm almost sick from boredom."

Su Mei talked endlessly. She obviously couldn't stand the loneliness of the mountains. I could understand this. She came from a place of red lanterns and green wine, and suddenly fell into such a place where she couldn't even see a stranger's face. This kind of sorrow, only those who have experienced it can understand it deeply.

"Since you can't stay, let's go out of the mountain." Chen Meng said. But her eyes didn't look at them, but dodged.

Her move made Su Ya suspicious, and she asked hesitantly: "Reporter Chen, is there a result?"

Chen Meng shook her head heavily.

"Is it convenient for us to go out now without a result?" Su Ya asked.

"There is no such thing as convenient or inconvenient. As long as we let go, no one will look for trouble for themselves."

"Let go?" Su Ya's eyes widened, her face changed colors several times, and finally presented a pale white.

"Yes!" Chen Meng sighed heavily and said: "I'm sorry, Sister Su Ya. I thought that with my strength, I could find justice for you. Now I suddenly find that my strength is too weak, and I can't help you at all."

Su Ya was stunned for a long time and stammered: "Actually, I understood long ago, how can I blame you? I should thank you. Without you, I might not be in this world long ago."

Su Ya was right. Perhaps she didn't know the depth of it, but Xu Mengda, the son of the Provincial Propaganda Minister, almost lost his life. It was not strange that she, a weak woman with no relatives, disappeared for no reason.

Chen Meng was heavy-hearted, and she asked Su Juan for water.

As soon as Su Mei heard that she wanted to drink water, she jumped to fetch water, leaving a few people in the house, looking at each other, and suddenly fell into silence.

As long as there is silence where there are people, the awkward atmosphere will spread in a blink of an eye.

Sure enough, Su Juan stood up, rubbed her hands and said to herself: "Why hasn't she come yet? I'll go see."

She opened the door and went out, leaving the three of us in the house. I understood that Su Juan was deliberately avoiding us. Since I arrived, I had already seen helplessness in her and Su Mei's eyes, and the mood of wanting to go out of the mountain impatiently.

I broke the silence and said: "Su Ya, some things are not as simple as we imagine. There are many helplessness in life, not everything can be achieved by persistence and effort. People must learn to endure, not only to endure grievances, but also to endure the pressure that life gives us."

Su Ya smiled faintly and said: "I understand, Comrade Chen. Say a thousand sentences and ten thousand sentences, I have two words, thank you! Only by knowing you did I understand that there are still many good people in society. I also know that some things may never see the truth in a lifetime, but I have tried, so my heart has no regrets!"

Chen Meng looked up at her, and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Sister Su Ya, your level of speaking is really high."

Su Ya smiled embarrassedly. She stood up and shouted to the door: "Why don't you two come in? Why are you standing outside? Come in and pack your things, we are leaving."

Su Juan and Su Mei heard the sound and pushed the door in. The two stood in front of Su Ya and asked: "Where are we going?"

"Back to my hometown!"

"Back to hometown?" The two girls exclaimed in unison: "Where is the hometown?"

Su Ya smiled bitterly: "You two, don't you even remember your hometown?"

Su Juan and Su Mei shook their heads together and said: "It's not that we don't remember, it's just that can we still go back?"

Su Ya fell silent, thought for a while and said: "No matter where you go, pack up and go out of the mountain first."

The three women were busy packing their luggage. Chen Meng and I walked out of the house and stood in front of a cluster of enthusiastically blooming Chinese roses. I asked Chen Meng: "Are you really planning to give up?"

Chen Meng nodded and said: "Given up! If I don't give up, it's not just me who will be hurt, but Sister Su Ya and more people. Among these people, you are also one."

"Me?" I looked at her in surprise.

She smiled shallowly and said: "If I don't give up, even if you sit in the position of the Industrial Park Director, how long can you sit? For me to hinder your progress, a person with such aspirations and abilities, is to be sorry for the people of Hengyue City, and also sorry for everyone who has high hopes for you."

"Is it that simple?"

"Of course not." Chen Meng picked a Chinese rose, looked at it in her hand, and after a silence, said: "Actually, I not only have to be responsible for you, but also for the older generation. I don't want them to be restless in their later years because of my affairs. They need peace, they need tranquility, and they need me to use the only conscience and justice I have left to protect them."

I was speechless, and also picked a Chinese rose, plucked the petals one by one, and threw them into the wind.

The petals were like summer rain, shining with the last trace of brilliance in the bright sunshine, falling into the mud, and turning into protective mud.

"Will Su Ya let go?" I asked, always feeling uneasy in my heart.

"Even if she doesn't let go, what can she do?" Chen Meng sighed and said: "For a period of time, everyone has felt exhausted. Because our strength is too small, we can't shake a big mountain at all."

"Everything has the last hope." I comforted her boredly.

She smiled bitterly and said: "That's right! My last hope has also been shattered. I am in despair now!"

"What happened?" I asked.

"If I hadn't taken out the disc, hope wouldn't have been shattered."

"What exactly are you doing it for?" I asked unwillingly. Su Ya's matter once made her unable to sleep all night, and she even turned against me because of Su Ya's petition. Now that she suddenly changed her attitude, it made me a little uncomfortable.

"Don't ask!" She said annoyedly: "I am dead! Heart dead!"

I laughed: "As long as the person is not dead, everything has hope."

She sighed for a long time, looked up at the big mountain in the distance, and said nothing.

Su Ya and the others just packed their luggage, and the three of them looked at us with their things.

I waved my hand and said: "Get in the car."

After the car drove out of the mountain, Su Ya said: "Reporter Chen, you can just send us to the train station."

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"There is a place to go." Su Ya smiled and said: "I can't let them accompany me for a lifetime."

Su Juan laughed: "Sister Su Ya, don't you want us?"

"Want! Of course I want." Su Ya hugged one with one hand and said: "It's just that you should go to the place you should go. Thank you for coming to help me!"

Su Juan was shallow in the eye socket. Hearing Su Ya say this, tears flowed out involuntarily. She climbed onto Su Ya's shoulder and said: "Sister, I am willing to accompany you for a lifetime."

Su Ya smiled shallowly and said: "Silly girl, the world is so big, what kind of future will you have following an old woman like me? You continue to fly. As long as you live well, I think Can Ge will be happy in heaven."

"What about you?" Su Juan asked worriedly.

"I should also go to the place I want to go. I have been entangled with myself for a long time before, and today I suddenly understood. It is the most unworthy thing to waste my life for a person who is not worth paying for. I won't hide it from you, I have been thinking for a period of time, you Can Ge lost his life, it is not that others want his life, but that he does not cherish his own life. If he took the right path, would he have the ending he has now?"

"But you said that Can Ge died unclearly!"

"No matter how unclear it is, it is also deserved!" Su Ya looked out the window, let out a long sigh and said: "The man I love died after leaving me."

I didn't want to disturb their conversation, so I closed my eyes quietly.

The mobile phone in my pocket rang. After opening it, it was a call from my wife Huang Weiwei, telling me that a guest had come to the house and asking me to go home.

I asked: "Who is here?"

Huang Weiwei said on the phone: "Someone you haven't seen for a long time."

My heart skipped a beat, and I asked: "Man or woman?"

She laughed on the phone and asked me in a low voice: "Do you want it to be a man or a woman?"

I moved the phone to the other ear and said indifferently: "Whatever."

"Saying one thing but meaning another." She hung up the phone, leaving me with a suspense.

Chen Meng turned to ask me: "Did the girl call?"

I nodded.

"You should go home too!" She stared ahead and honked the horn hard: "Men, you must know your responsibilities at any time!" ===== CHAPTER 648 =====
