Perhaps it was because he was tired, Xiao Zheng did not stroll around the streets until late at night like usual. Instead, he went to the nearby supermarket to buy some vegetables, fruits, drinks, and food, and then went straight to the Lin family.
Xiao Zheng was a typical bachelor. As long as he had a place to sleep and could fill his stomach, it didn't matter where he slept or what he ate. Therefore, he had been wandering around all these years and had never thought of practicing his cooking skills, so that he wouldn't have to eat takeout every day and couldn't eat by himself. But after moving into the Lin family, although his salary wasn't high, he took the initiative to buy ingredients.
Lin Huayin had a light taste, but she carefully selected the food. A piece of steak cost hundreds of dollars. Therefore, whenever Xiao Zheng went to the supermarket, he would buy the most expensive things, from vegetables to meat, without worrying about his pocket. Just like tonight, he only bought two bags of ingredients, which cost him five or six hundred dollars. It was enough for him to eat seven or eight meals at a roadside stall.
When he got home, Lin Huayin was sitting in the dining room eating fruit salad and watching the financial news. She was as quiet as a virgin, and her face was as cold as ice. She didn't even look at Xiao Zheng out of the corner of her eye. On the other hand, Xiao Zheng didn't take the initiative to greet her, but went into the kitchen with the bags. After putting the food in the fridge, he walked out silently and went straight to his room. He didn't say anything from beginning to end, nor did he make eye contact with Lin Huayin.
When Xiao Zheng entered the room, Lin Huayin's frosty face showed a touch of surprise. She was curious about Xiao Zheng's abnormality.
Lin Huayin didn't say anything and didn't greet Xiao Zheng because they had an argument in the afternoon and she was kissed by Xiao Zheng. She was unhappy and angry, so she didn't say anything. What about Xiao Zheng? He usually took the initiative to find a topic when he came home. Even if it was nonsense, he would talk for a long time, unlike today, when he was silent.
Was he depressed because of what happened in the afternoon?
After many interactions, Lin Huayin firmly believed that Xiao Zheng was not the kind of man who would become dispirited after being scolded by her. His skin was thicker than the city walls. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was impervious to swords and spears. So why was he so silent today?
Lin Huayin was lost in thought. She even missed several important pieces of news on the financial news that she had to read every day.
Beep beep.
The mobile phone on the side buzzes. Lin Huayin glances at it. It is sent by Lin Xiaozhu. He couldn't help but frown as he opened the message.
"Sis, are you still busy?"
The content of the text message was not as lively and naughty as usual. Just from this text message, Lin Huayin could guess that her sister was in a bad mood. He stopped scolding her for playing with her phone in class and replied, "I'm having dinner. What happened? "
After putting down her phone, Lin Huayin wanted to clean up the dining table and go back to her room. Lin Xiaozhu's message was answered in seconds.
"Sis, I have a few questions to ask you, but I don't know how to say them …"
Seeing this text message, Lin Huayin frowned more deeply. She was worried that her half-sister had a big problem.
It should be known that in the eyes of Lin Huayin, Lin Xiaozhu was lively and simple. Although she was rebellious and mischievous, she was a heartless little girl. Such a complicated interpersonal relationship in the Lin Family could not defeat her sunny and healthy psychology, and she had established a deep sisterhood with her. How could ordinary things make her worry?
"Whatever you say. I'm your sister. "
Lin Huayin replied with a warm word. Maybe she couldn't say it in reality, but she could barely send a text message without face-to-face.
This time, Lin Huayin waited for a long time before she received a text message from Lin Xiaozhu. But Lin Huayin was stunned. She frowned.
"Sis, I don't know how your relationship with my brother-in-law is. But if one day, my brother-in-law kills people to protect you, what will you do? Will you be afraid? Or are you so conflicted that you don't know how to face it? "
Kill people to protect me?
First of all, Lin Huayin felt that although Xiao Zheng could not be seen through, and he had some disgraceful past, she did not believe that Xiao Zheng dared to kill people easily. Pearl was a society ruled by law. Serious crimes could be explained by the Pearl system. Even if someone offended her or even hurt her, how could Xiao Zheng dare to kill people to protect her? Not everyone dared to be a murderer, and not everyone had the courage to bear the consequences.
Secondly, why did Lin Xiaozhu ask her this question? Even if Lin Huayin was smart, she was confused.
Was there someone in the school who killed people for her?
No, it was unlikely. No matter how bad the students were, they were still students. Fighting was understandable, but how could they dare to kill people?
Was there a student who seriously injured others to protect Xiaozhu?
This speculation was very reasonable, and it also explained why Xiaozhu pushed this problem to Lin Huayin and Xiao Zheng.
Through this text message, Lin Huayin analyzed a lot of information, but she did not directly ask back. Instead, she replied with a rather tactful text message.
"He is an adult and can distinguish what should be done and what shouldn't be done. Do you know the consequences of killing people? If it is intentional killing, it can be sentenced to death. Do you think your brother-in-law will be so impulsive and irrational? "
After sending this text message, Lin Huayin was also worried.
What happened to Xiaozhu? Why did she ask such a terrible question? She could not sit still.
This time, Lin Xiaozhu quickly replied to the text message, the content was very short, but concise.
"What if I really killed him?"
Lin Huayin held the phone, looked at this text message of only seven words, and fell into deep thought.
Really killed people?
Killed to protect me?
Lin Huayin did not specifically ask why he killed people. She was just puzzled by this false proposition.
If it was someone else, as long as it was not Xiao Zheng, her first conditioned reflex would be to persuade him to turn himself in. Then, she would do everything to help him, and even share the burden with him.
This was what Lin Huayin, who abided by the law and had a sound three views, would do. In her mind, killing was illegal. No matter what the reason was, individuals had no right to deprive any life. Even if the other party was wicked, he should be handed over to the judicial system for punishment.
But now, the murderer in Lin Xiaozhu's false proposition was Xiao Zheng. What should she do?
In order to protect her, Xiao Zheng killed someone.
Lin Huayin was silent and speechless.
"Sister, if brother-in-law killed people for you. Will you be afraid of him? Or will you be overwhelmed and unable to face it? "
Before Lin Huayin finished reading this text message, Lin Xiaozhu sent another one.
However, this message made Lin Huayin, whose thoughts were already in a mess, feel terrified and moved.
"Sister, is it possible for you to be moved by what brother-in-law did? In fact, except for brother-in-law and the people closest to you, how could others kill people to protect you? As you said, killing people is illegal and will be sentenced to death. If not enough love, how could he have such courage? "
