135. How heavy are the shackles of morality?(1/2)
After hearing Gu Ye's words, the couple was stunned. The child's father asked excitedly: "Why do you say that our child is wronged?"
The couple's eyes were excited, expectant, incredible, and even a little scared. In addition, they had just run into the railing strangely from outside the railing inexplicably, but they hadn't reacted yet. What was going on? The originally pale face turned red because of the excitement.
Gu Ye saw that something was wrong with this family, "You just wanted to commit suicide? What kind of injustice is it that you asked to die with a four or five-year-old child?"
The couple's faces were full of despair. From their expressions, they couldn't survive anymore, and it was hard to describe them. Only this child was still playing with his own small plane. The adults seemed to be unable to hear their words and did not raise their heads. Gu Ye looked at the child calmly, which was a bit abnormal.
Jie Cheng urged: "Tell me what happened. Maybe we can help you. Don't seek death during the New Year."
The child's mother said desperately: "None of us wants to be troubled. It is enough to meet kind-hearted people like you and let us know that there are good people in the world."
"Don't," Gu Ye said seriously: "Your children are carrying grievances. I have seen that there is something that can't be forced to survive? I can calculate, and you can tell me, if I can, I can't take care of you, and you can't take care of you again. Such a young child still doesn't know what life is and what death is. Do you have the heart to ruin his future?"
When the child's mother heard this, she looked at the child and couldn't help but her eyes turned red. "Whoever has the heart to take the child to die, she really can't survive."
After passing this viaduct, there was a row of small shops below. Jie Cheng pulled them down the bridge, "Let's go to a place where no one disturbs others' walking. Let's talk about it carefully."
After going down, Gu Ye bought a few bottles of hot drinks and handed them to the child. After seeing the drink, the child did not show any normal intentions when he saw the drink. Instead, he didn't even look at it and was still fiddling with his plane.
Gu Ye asked in confusion: "This child?"
The child's parents sighed, and his mother said tiredly: "You can see this child, he is different from a normal child. He has autism, doesn't like to talk, and doesn't want to express himself, and has been immersed in his own world. A year ago, he threw a building block from the upper floor. Our house lives on the twenty-floor floor. This is a matter of throwing objects from a high altitude, and it was a coincidence that he smashed the old man who was picking up garbage downstairs to death."
Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, but he didn't see this karma line on the child's face.
The child's father continued: "We are not rogues. If the child causes trouble, we will definitely compensate us. The old man's son immediately came to us and asked for a private settlement."
Speaking of this, Gu Ye and Jie Cheng are quite impressed. The couple are responsible.
The child's father smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that this compensation would be out of the way. Our child's illness costs a lot of money every month. Fortunately, our couple worked well and made some money. The parents also helped us and paid the down payment when buying a house. While raising children, we paid the mortgage and lived a life. But for compensation, we lost all our money and paid him the house, but it still couldn't."
The child's mother took the conversation, "That man is a gangster. When he has no money, he comes to us to ask for it. They also have a child, similar to our children. Not only does he come to ask for it, but his wife also takes the child to ask for money. She sits at our house and waits for food, drinks and waits for service, and uses me as a nanny. The couple also treats the children as medical treatment, and they give them a house, and we also have to rent a house. If I don't go to work, how can I get that much money?"
Xie Cheng frowned and asked, "It's enough to pay the compensation to this point. If they want it from you, you can give it?"
The child's mother said miserably: "We don't want to give it to the man, but if we don't give it to the man, his wife hugged the child and blocked us and cried, saying that our child had killed his father. We either pay for his life or give it money. We can't afford to pay for his life. We really ignore it. The old man died because our child died. The neighbors pointed at him, and we couldn't stand them making such a fuss. Every time we made a fuss, our children watched him. Every time they pointed at the child and said that it was the murderer. In order to let the child look at this less, we had to give it to him. This family of three couldn't make a fuss."
"What makes people even more desperate is that this incident was spread online. Everyone said that we should be responsible, saying that children will bear a life for the rest of their lives, and compensation is the right thing to do. Some people say that children commit crimes, but parents do not teach them well, so they should pay their lives. It's not that we didn't compensate, we paid for it!"
"The neighbors around us all looked at us with strange eyes. People on the Internet said that we gave too little, how can a house be saved for the elderly? We really don't have it anymore. Even if we have it, we can't resist looking for it like this every day. Before the New Year, their family had to ask for the New Year's money. It was my father-in-law and mother-in-law who secretly gave it from my brother-in-law. It was the money for our family of three for the New Year, and he wanted to leave."
"In order to avoid them, we moved three times, and they were exposed. The Internet said that we moved in order not to give money and evade responsibility. The old man's son also went to our unit to make trouble, and we lost our jobs. Now the child's autism is more serious than before. After a day, we don't say a word, and we don't have money to treat the child. We can't always ask for money from our parents. They are older and we have no face to implicate them. It's better to die and no one will be burdened."
"Yesterday, the old man's son thought we had little money during the Chinese New Year. The family of three came again and brought reporters to find us." The child's mother's eyes were red, and now she couldn't cry. She said desperately: "It's not that we don't accompany us, but we don't have to accompany us. Everyone on the Internet is blaming us. I want to pay my life to them for my son and beg them to let my son go, but I thought about it, I'm dead, what should I do? He can't even say his own needs."
"We couple thought about it and since we couldn't survive, we should take the child to die together, and we will be over."
"Yes, we have no choice but to come up with this bad decision. All those who know this have put us in moral shackles, which makes us breathless. He accidentally harms people, and others cannot tolerate us to survive!"
Jie Cheng couldn't bear it when he heard this, "Isn't this moral kidnapping? If there is no compensation, it's understandable that no matter how much you make a fuss, you've already compensated and you're still paying for this amount. Why do you have to force someone to pay your life?"
"This is not forcing this child to pay for his life, but forcing this family of three to pay for his life. No one can breathe when this moral shackle is pressed on anyone." Gu Ye sighed helplessly. Judging from the performance of the couple, they were both kind-hearted, otherwise they would not have compensated the other party. Not to mention that he did not see this cause and effect line in this child, even if it was really done by this child, the child was only four years old at that time, and he was still sick. He accidentally threw something and killed the old man. It was already very sincere to be able to compensate for this. This kind of thing has not happened. When throwing objects from high places was not included in the criminal law before, many people only gave more than 100,000 yuan, and some did not even dare to come out to take responsibility.
Jie Cheng said angrily: "If this matter is true, this ignorant child really killed the old man by accident. He must trade his life for his life. Could it be that he really wanted to kill this four-year-old child?"
Gu Ye had nothing to say. Everyone put moral shackles on this family of three, so heavy that they could not afford it. This was not to let the child pay for his life, but to let the family of three pay for his life. The reason why the other son dared to make such a fuss was to see clearly that many people on the Internet supported him. The more he did this, the more he dared to make a fuss, and the more he made a fuss, the more afraid the three of the family of three was. In addition to the public opinion online and around, this family of three couldn't afford to pay, which further encouraged the other party's momentum to ask for money, and a vicious cycle.
Gu Ye checked the Internet and found that there was indeed something happening online. The title was: "A young child threw objects from high altitude and killed the elderly, who did it?"
Gu Ye browsed the news and found that the old man was indeed killed. The Internet paid a lot of attention to this matter. Only a very small number of people said that compensation was almost the same, and it was OK. Most of the people who said such words were scolded by netizens, and the comments were mostly like this: Killing people pays for their lives. Such a young child was not well educated, which was the adult problem, and compensation was the right one.
What do parents do for food? Don’t you play the Internet so high?
If I ask, it is the parents’ fault. If the children are ignorant, are the parents still ignorant?
The old man was already in a miserable state and wanted to pick up trash. Now he has been smashed to death. Who can I ask for to make a decision?
It is because of the parents. This child has been charged with murderers throughout his life. The murderer! The child is so pitiful, the parents are hurt!
Parents should bear legal responsibility if the son does not make a godfather’s fault.
In the past, throwing objects from high places was just a lack of quality, uneducated, and unethical spirit. Now throwing objects from high places has been included in the criminal law. The most serious case is to be punished as a crime of intentional homicide, which is criminal responsibility. Such a young child cannot be responsible, can parents not be responsible? Can compensation compensate the elderly for their lives? Money is nothing! Catch his father!
...
Seeing this, Gu Ye was too lazy to turn down, mostly the same thing. Gu Ye told the couple, "I'm sure your child is wronged. He didn't kill anyone. Don't die."
The child's father asked anxiously: "How do you know it's not him?"
Xie Cheng asked: "How do you know that it is your child?"
The child's mother sighed, "What hit the old man to death is our child's toys, we know him."
Gu Ye frowned and asked, "Who was taking care of the children at that time? Isn't you a couple?"
"We are nanny. We both have to go to work to make money. If we don't have time to take him, we listened to someone's introduction and hired a nanny."
"Where is the nanny?"
"The nanny has left. When we received the call, she took the child downstairs and confirmed that the building blocks were thrown by the child. The child was not so ill at the beginning. We asked him if he threw them away. The child was guarding everyone and nodded."
"The nanny left the next day, we wanted compensation, who could afford to hire a nanny? When the nanny left, she asked for an extra half a year of salary. She said she knew about this. We suddenly fired her and it was not easy to find a job. If we didn't give the money, she would come to reporters to expose the matter. We didn't want to be disturbed by too many people and did not want to affect the child, so we agreed to the family to settle privately and did not call the police. We thought that after compensation, we would move and treat the child well. At that time, the child was almost cured. Autism was too difficult to cure. We didn't want to fail. She asked for money, so I signed a contract and gave her a hush money so that she didn't tell her. Unexpectedly, it was brought to this point today."
Xie Cheng sneered, "This nanny is really not a thing. You haven't suspected that she did it. Is the child scapegoat?"
"We thought about it, but the child didn't say it, and we had no evidence at all. There were so many people at that time, and the child was afraid and cried and accepted it. When he came back, he asked the child again, but the child didn't say a word."
Looking at the child again, he was still playing with his little plane. He was so beautiful that he had a smile on his face. He seemed to have not listened to anything the adults said.
Seeing him like this, his father was anxious and desperate, and he couldn't help but ask loudly: "Tell me to him, did you throw it away at that time? What happened? Who threw it away!"
The child just glanced at his father and continued playing on the small plane.
His father could no longer control his emotions and said in a collapsed manner: "Say something, tell dad! Our family can't survive anymore, just say one thing, dad beg you!"
When the father was frightened by his uncontrollable emotions, the child suddenly started to cry, got angry, threw the small plane to the ground angrily, closed his eyes and cried loudly. When the child's father saw this, he couldn't help but blushed his eyes and hugged the child and didn't know what to say. The child's mother carried the child into her arms, patted the child's back, and coaxed him while despairingly saying to Gu Ye and the others: "This is what he is like, immersed in his own world. Once interrupted, he would cry and make a fuss, lose his temper, and eat with feed. Sometimes he doesn't know how many times he asked, he reacted like this."
Gu Ye nodded and advised: "Okay, don't make things difficult for the child. He is sick. Nothing you said is useless. It's better to receive normal treatment."
At this time, Xie Cheng's cell phone rang. He saw that it was called by people in the group. As soon as he answered, he heard the noise from the other side. Everyone in the group shouted: "Where are you two? Are you missing?" "Gu Ye wouldn't be captured by his old aunt again, where have you been arrested? With a squeak, brothers from Pansidong can also go and catch you!" "Come quickly! Just wait for you two!"
Xie Cheng was so quarreled that he kept the phone away from his ears and explained: "When something happens on the road, you can eat it first, and we will arrive later."
"Wait for you! Hurry up!"
Xie Cheng looked after Gu Ye, "How to do it?"
Gu Ye took out an unwritten talisman from his pocket, wrote his phone number on the back, and handed it to the child's father, "Since you have chosen to come here to jump over the bridge, it means your house is nearby, right? This is my phone number and WeChat. Give me an address. Tomorrow my brothers will go to you. If you believe me, your child will definitely not kill the old man. I want to see who is so dirty and framed such a young child."
"This..." Unexpectedly, when he was forced to death, two strangers suddenly appeared to help them. Although this sentence was a bit fantastic, how could someone who had never met before be sure of what happened a year ago? But even so, the couple seemed to have caught a floating board that gave them vitality and had to hold it tightly in their arms. The couple had red eyes and said gratefully: "Thank you!"
"Okay, we're leaving, see you tomorrow." Gu Ye and Jie Cheng got into the car together. Jie Cheng raised his hand and reminded them: "Don't seek death again!"
The couple watched Gu Ye and the others leave, and looked at the valuable sports car, and were stunned for a long time in the cold wind.
The wife said blankly: "I seem to have seen that young man somewhere."
“Which?”
"It's the pretty guy who drives a sports car." She trembled with cold, took out her cell phone, and searched the Internet for a long time, "It's really him. That guy is Gu Decheng's son, the master Gu online."
The man said in shock: "The one who can calculate and calculate? So young?"
"It's him," the tears in his eyes finally fell down. His wife cried, "He said that our children were wronged, our children might have been wronged, and we might have been saved. God opened his eyes and gave him a living Bodhisattva. Can we live our lives?
Looking at his wife's hopeful eyes, the man took the child and comforted him: "It should be possible, let's go home."
When the couple looked at the child, they both cried. Who would want to die with the child?
———
In the car, Jie Cheng said in a deep voice: "The nanny has absolutely something wrong. The child is sick and has little courage. When he was scared, he didn't know what to say. He was probably scared by her. The child could only nod and blame her for her. Later, the child became more and more sick, and he didn't say anything, and became a perfect scapegoat. Isn't he just bullying the child? The most annoying thing is that he still had to pay half a year's salary before leaving, which is equivalent to threatening blackmail."
After Xie Cheng said that, "No, if it was her, she would be too brave. If it was her, she would be too brave. She would ask the child to take the blame for her and then blackmail her salary for another half a year?" Jie Cheng thought about it himself, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it would not make sense. "If the child was really punished and blackmailed the family, she would be too bastard. There is another possibility. If it wasn't something thrown out at their house, someone else's house also threw it away, and by chance, the old man was killed. The nanny thought it was the child's toy, so she admitted her guilt. It's been a year since then. Can you find out what happened at that time? I don't know if there is any surveillance in the community."
Gu Ye's head aches when he heard him muttering, "It's useless to think about anything now. I'll ask them to call the police tomorrow. They don't call the police because they are afraid that the children will be affected. Now it's already this point, so it's better to call the police before."
Xie Cheng shook his head, "Who would have thought that he could still make trouble to the point of losing the house to the other party?"
Gu Ye said disgustedly: "So, Xie Cheng, you are really poisonous, you will encounter problems as soon as you go out."
Jie Cheng asked dissatisfiedly: "Why is it me again? Just like you are not present every time. Even if you don't admit that you are poisonous, we both have to take half of the responsibility one by one. How can you still leave yourself so clean? Gu Saner, you have to have some face!"
Gu Ye asked back: "If I don't come to pick you up, I won't encounter this. You have to have some shame."
Jie Cheng paused, "What you said seems to be right."
Gu Ye seriously brainwashed him: "So, you are really poisonous."
Jie Cheng admitted his mistake in a frustrated way, "I'm sorry, this time it's over me."
Gu Ye said generously: "Forgive you."
Jie Cheng curled his lips. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He couldn't find what Gu Ye said was wrong. He was indeed present every time.
When the two of them arrived at the hotel, everyone had already arrived. They had booked the entire hall, with six tables of people, and all the masters of the entire imperial capital gathered together. After putting down the equipment, the group of young people looked no different from the normal young men. As soon as Gu Ye and Jie Cheng came in, they were caught by a group of people and scolded him.
Fan Xiao was also funny, and circled Gu Ye and said with concern: "Brothers all said that you were caught by the zombie aunt and became the husband of the village. They said they wanted to save you. Brother Ye, are you still intact? Are you missing arms and legs?"
"Nonsense." Gu Ye bounced on the other party's forehead, "If you want to catch it, you will be a child with fine skin and tender flesh like you."
As the bottom of the food chain, Fan Xiao was used to being bullied. He covered his head and didn't know how to resist. He muttered: "You are not two years older than me."
Gu Ye clicked him and told him not to talk back. Just squat at the bottom of the food chain obediently.
To be continued...
