Chapter 68: Heartlessness
The three sent off Cadre Liang, lit a cigarette each, and were silent for a long time before Liu Guoyou finally spoke.
"It's very absurd, isn't it? When I came in, I was scolded by that young man for being a busybody. Heh, this is the first time I've seen such heartless family members."
Seeing Li Xuewu frowning and looking over here, Han Dache also spat secretly.
"This train was already very unlucky, and then we ran into such a family. Heh, count us as unlucky. We don't even know what punishment is coming later."
"What? Just because we didn't see clearly that they were SL people and left them by the road without managing them, we have to be punished? It was pitch black and the heads were gone, how was I supposed to see? Is the special line important or is a dead person important?"
This temper was truly as Liu Guoyou himself said, extremely explosive, ignited at a touch.
Han Dache took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the starry lights in the pitch-black night outside the window, saying, "There aren't that many reasons to talk about. Foreign-related incidents are all handled specially."
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Li Xuewu exhaled a puff of smoke and asked.
Although the three couldn't be said to be grasshoppers on the same rope, it was about the same.
Liu Guoyou smoked angrily and didn't speak.
Han Dache explained in a low tone, "The one crushed under the train was an SL person. Listening to the family's argument, it seems he was a university teacher. The dead woman was a university student. The two were unmarried and had a child. The woman was handled by the school and it was even reported to her family. The woman took the man home and was driven out by her family overnight. I don't know how they ended up dying under our train."
Hearing this, Liu Guoyou was even angrier and cursed in a low voice, "Engaging in this kind of thing between teacher and student, and getting pregnant before marriage, and it was reported to the family. Which old person could accept that?"
Li Xuewu understood the thinking of people in this era, especially rural people. Looking at that old couple, they also loved their daughter, otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to go to university.
It was probably "love deeply, blame strictly."
Just now in that room, the middle-aged man spoke without mercy, but his eyes were as dead as ashes.
Li Xuewu questioned, "Even if a foreigner was hit, it wouldn't reach the point of bringing us from thousands of miles away to ask questions, right?"
Liu Guoyou glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "You still don't understand? To be able to toss us all here, that dead person must have a sensitive identity, otherwise, two foreign affairs officers wouldn't be chasing the truth. I don't know the specific identity, but to be able to live in the country, and with that girl..."
Han Dache muttered, "It's not easy to marry a foreigner now, especially an SL person. Now that there's a child, the trouble is more than just this little bit. The impact must be very large."
Liu Guoyou sighed and continued, "That man was protecting the child until he died. That woman was hit so far away, and her eyes were still looking in the direction of the child and the man. I know, when I moved her, she didn't want to die."
Li Xuewu watched the two big men talking in low voices, as if they were carrying a heavy burden, and also sighed, patting Liu Guoyou on the shoulder.
Han Dache looked out the window without turning his head, his voice lonely, "They say saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. That child has a tough life. When Security Guard Li carried the child out, the child even pulled Security Guard Li with its little hand. I don't ask for the merit of this seven-story pagoda, I just hope we and the child have a good result."
Liu Guoyou gathered his mood and cheered up, "We are just like this. At worst, we retire early and make way for the children. It's a pity for you, Han Dache, your technology has won awards."
"That child is even more unthinkable. Just now, listening to that, it seems the woman's relatives don't want the child, they only want compensation. The embassy side has no way to raise the child, and the local side has been delaying receiving it, saying they are afraid of involvement, ai."
Hearing this, Li Xuewu felt a tug in his heart.
Just as the few were smoking and thinking about their own affairs, a burst of arguing came from outside the door, both men and women, and there was the sound of a child crying.
That arguing sound was very harsh. Li Xuewu could tell it was that young man clamoring for the railway driver and train captain to pay compensation, and also wanting the SL foreign affairs personnel to pay compensation.
I don't know where that young man got the courage to challenge the railway and foreign affairs officers. Logically speaking, the compensation mechanism at this time wasn't that perfect. ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
