See my face clearly, my mother's face showed a surprise smile.
At the moment, my parents have all been wet. Seeing what they look like now, my eyes have become a little wet.
I put my umbrella on their heads and felt a little uncomfortable. "It's raining so hard. Don't you know where to take shelter from the rain?"
I looked at them with some blame. Although I said I knew what they came to me for today, I couldn't help but feel distressed when I saw their embarrassed appearance.
"Peace of mind, your father and I came to you today because of your brother. Your brother was arrested, you know?"
My mother ignored my words. She grabbed my hand excitedly, as if she had caught a life-saving straw. She looked at me anxiously with urgency in her tone.
My heart sank when I heard my mother's words. Although I knew that the purpose of their coming today was to take care of new things, after hearing her words, I instinctively kept silent. I don't want to intervene in this matter.
"I know that Gu Xin may go to jail this time."
I lowered my head slightly and said this sentence faintly. I knew it from the moment Xiao's mother woke up and spoke Gu Xin.
"Peace of mind, this time you must find a way to save your brother. Your brother can't go to jail. If he goes to jail, what can your father and I do? We old couple still expect your brother to provide for us."
My mother became more excited when she saw me calm. She held my hand tightly and looked at me with a prayer in her eyes.
I frown slightly. I am distressed by the way my mother is now. I know Gu Xin is their lifeblood. If Gu Xin is really sentenced, they will not accept it, but this matter is beyond my control.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I can't manage this matter. Gu Xin's mistake will be punished."
I looked at my mother in some embarrassment and pondered for a moment before I opened my mouth.
"Peace of mind, what do you mean, Gu Xin is your brother. Your brother is going to jail. Do you want to let it go? How can you be so cruel? I've been waiting for you here with your father in the rain for so long. Are you so cruel?"
After hearing what I said, my mother was a little angry. She stared at me angrily, and her tone was full of reproach.
"Peace of mind, you also know that your brother is the only one in our family. If your brother goes to jail, our family will be over. Do you have the heart to watch me and your mother have no home?"
At this time, my father, who had been silent, spoke. He frowned and looked at me with serious eyes.
"Mom, this has become what it is now. How can I help you? What can I do? What else can I help Gu Xin if he violates the law?"
I looked at my parents and looked embarrassed. If there was a way, how could I not help, but I really have no way now. Facing their request will only make me more embarrassed.
"Peace of mind, will you go and discuss with the Xiao family and don't investigate your brother's responsibility? No matter what we say, we are also in laws. For your face, they may not investigate. Can you talk to them?"
Maybe it was because I hesitated. My mother grabbed my hand and looked forward to saying these words.
I have long stepped on the purpose of their coming here today, but after my mother said it, my heart became more agitated. At the beginning, Xiao's father thought I hurt Xiao's mother, so he could treat me so ruthlessly, especially Gu Xin.
My parents are really whimsical. Can they easily forgive if someone hurts the people they care about most? In the same way, although Gu Xin wants to go to prison, I feel distressed, but I can also understand the practice of the Xiao family, and I think it's time for Gu Xin to accept some punishment, otherwise he won't know how to repent all his life.
"Mom and Dad, stop talking. There is no room for negotiation, but you don't have to worry too much. Gu Xin will only be sentenced to a few years at most, not too long."
Gu Xin, this is an accidental injury. Although he will be legally responsible, I don't think it will be too heavy. It is estimated that it will come out in two or three years.
The reason why I am cruel is that I think it may be a good thing to use these two or three years to make Gu Xin mature. In the future, he won't ignore whatever he does like now.
"You're determined to ignore it this time, aren't you? Gu Xin is your brother. He's going to jail soon. You're still not his sister!"
As soon as I said my words, my father immediately became angry. His body was trembling slightly because of anger. Maybe it was because of the rain. At the moment, her face looked very bad and turned a little pale.
In the face of his accusations, my heart is also angry, but I can understand their eagerness at the moment, so I still suppressed my anger and looked at them seriously.
"Mom and Dad, it's not that I don't want to take care of it, but that I really can't take care of it. Don't force me anymore, will you? I took the blame a year ago. Do you know how I came over this year?"
Now their hearts are all Gu Xin, and they have not considered my feelings at all, which makes my heart very uncomfortable.
I disappeared for a year and met again. They didn't say anything about me. Except Gu Xin, they seemed to have no existence of me at all. If Gu Xin wasn't arrested this time, didn't they intend to come to me?
After hearing what I said, my mother may have thought of something. A trace of guilt crossed her face, but it just flashed away.
"Peace of mind, I know you have suffered this year. My parents are really sorry for you."
Although my mother only said a word about me, my eyes were sour in an instant, but I couldn't see tears flowing out because of the rain.
"A year ago, your parents asked you to take the blame for your brother. There's really no way. We can't watch your brother go to jail. No matter what you say, they are also from the Xiao family. No matter how angry they are, they will never let you go to jail, will they?"
My mother mentioned something a year ago with some guilt. Originally, I was a little moved in my heart, but when I heard her words, I couldn't help but evoke an arc of ridicule. Up to now, they still feel that their decision a year ago was correct. In the final analysis, their heart is only Gu Xin.
"I'll let someone take you back. You've been in the rain for so long. Go back and take a hot bath. Don't catch a cold."
