Chapter 360 The Fate of the Bad Guys
Although Wang Jianguo was still resentful, as things had come to this point, he could only sigh helplessly and nodded slowly.
He looked at Director Liu, his eyes filled with a complex expression of gratitude and helplessness, and said:
"Okay, Director Liu, thank you in advance. Don't worry, the brothers who came to help are all for us, and I will definitely not treat them unfairly."
"Ah, just thinking about that child, my heart feels like it's being weighed down by a huge rock."
"He could have had a wonderful childhood with endless possibilities, but because of the evil deeds of those two bastards, his entire life was ruined."
"How will he live his life in the future? How miserable will his family be? This is all so heartbreaking."
When Director Liu heard what Wang Jianguo said, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He looked into the distance with empty eyes and could only sigh deeply.
Then, he reached out his hand and patted Wang Jianguo's shoulder heavily, as if to convey his comfort through this pat, and said:
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who could have thought such a tragedy would happen? None of us want to see such a tragedy."
"The commune has tried its best to make up for it. It has provided some help to the child's family and arranged for someone to take care of the child."
"I just hope that his life will be better in the future. This is all we can do now."
Director Liu looked up at the sky. The night had completely enveloped the earth. He continued:
"Okay, it's getting late, and you've been tired all day. Go back and get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow. Get a good night's sleep tonight and don't think too much."
Wang Jianguo nodded again, and he turned and walked into the house. After walking a few steps, he happened to meet Zhao Shuzhuo coming out of the house.
Zhao Shuzhuo looked anxious, but when he saw Wang Jianguo, his brows relaxed and he said:
"What took you so long? The food is getting cold. Come in and eat."
Wang Jianguo looked tired. He really didn't have the energy to say anything more. He just silently followed Zhao Shuzhuo to the table, sat down, and prepared to eat something.
At the end of the day, they were like tireless spinning tops, constantly busy, and extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.
At this moment, sitting down to eat is more like a mechanical action for them, just to replenish energy for the body to cope with the next day.
The two of them ate intermittently, neither of them had a very good appetite. Every few bites they took seemed to require a lot of effort to chew and swallow.
After a while, they put down their bowls and chopsticks, because they really couldn't eat anymore. After a quick cleanup, they each went to their own beds to rest.
Wang Jianguo lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. He kept thinking about what he had heard about Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng during the day.
Especially when I thought about the possibility of meeting them at the brick factory the next day, I felt worried.
He knew the characters of these two people very well. If he was recognized by them, it might bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
In order to avoid this situation as much as possible, he decided to sleep on the upper bunk, which was relatively hidden. Zhao Shuzhuo didn't think much about it and lay down on the lower bunk.
Perhaps it was because he was in a strange environment, everything around him made Wang Jianguo feel a little uncomfortable.
That night, he lay in bed, tossing and turning, with all kinds of thoughts running through his mind like wild horses running wild.
He thought of what had happened to the poor child and felt a surge of anger in his heart; then he worried about what would happen at the brick factory the next day and frowned.
In this way, he went on and on, unable to sleep soundly.
I don’t know how long it was, just when Wang Jianguo was about to fall asleep, suddenly, he heard a slight noise.
It was as if someone stood up gently. The movement was so light that there was almost no sound. If the night had not been so quiet, Wang Jianguo would not have noticed it at all.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully. The faint footsteps slowly approached their bed and then stopped in front of the bed.
Wang Jianguo's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he quickly pulled the quilt over himself, covering himself tightly.
Then pretend to turn over, making a little noise, just like a normal sleeping person turning over.
He hid in the quilt, opened his eyes slightly, and tried to see clearly who it was through the gap in the quilt.
Why did he come to their bedside? What was his purpose?
Wang Jianguo lay quietly on the upper bunk. His originally confused brain instantly became much clearer after hearing the slight noise.
He carefully opened a tiny hole in the quilt, like a vigilant cat peeking in the dark.
Looking down through the small hole, he was surprised to find in the faint moonlight that the person standing at the table in front of the bed was Xu Damao.
At this time, Xu Damao was wolfing down the leftover food he and Zhao Shuzhuo had left, looking like a beggar who had been hungry for a long time.
Although his movements were very light, he could not conceal his eagerness. It seemed that he was afraid of being discovered, but hunger drove him to keep stuffing food into his mouth.
Wang Jianguo watched this scene, but he did not feel any sympathy or touch in his heart.
There was only indifference in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with him, and even a hint of disgust.
Wang Jianguo knew clearly that Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng must be having a very hard time in the brick factory now, which meant they had to resort to stealing leftovers.
In this harsh environment, they may be under high-intensity labor and mental stress every day, and food may be the scarcest resource for them.
However, Wang Jianguo did not feel pity for them. When he thought of the innocent child whose life was ruined by them, his heart felt heavy as if it was being pressed by a huge rock.
The child could have laughed and grown up in the sunshine and had a bright future, but because of the selfishness and cruelty of these two people, he fell into endless darkness.
In comparison, what is the suffering that Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng are going through now? This is completely what they deserve.
Wang Jianguo had no intention of interfering. He just turned over silently and turned his back to Xu Damao.
He didn't want to see this person he hated again, nor did he want Xu Damao to find out that he had woken up.
He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down and fall asleep again. In his heart, Xu Damao's behavior could no longer attract his attention.
He only hoped that these two men would stay in this brick factory to pay for their crimes and accept the punishment of fate.
At this moment, fatigue came over him again, and he gradually fell asleep in a complex emotion of disgust for Xu Damao and sympathy for the child.
