Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

Hao Liang handed the luggage to his wife, and it was great that a woman in her late forties came out of the room, Hao Liang said.

"What's the trouble? Among the senior brothers and sisters, I am the most idle. I should send the teacher back. Who is this beauty?"

"She is our daughter, your senior sister Xiaozhen. Xiaozhen, this is Hao Liang, you haven't seen her yet. My youngest student." Professor Jiao introduced Hao Liang and the others.

"You are Hao Liang. You have worked hard to take care of my dad these past few years. When they call me, they often mention you." Professor Hao's daughter Xiaozhen said to Hao Liang.

"No, no, I didn't take care of you."

"Okay, Hao Liang, you sit down, Xiao Zhen, you go get Hao Liang a cup of tea, and I'll take your dad's luggage in."

Hao Liang had lunch at Professor Jiao's house, sat there for a while, and then said to Professor Jiao, "Teacher, it's almost time, so I'll go back first."

"Well, then you go back and drive more slowly. I won't leave you alone."

As soon as Professor Jiao finished speaking, his daughter Xiaozhen thanked Hao Liang for an address and said, "Hao Liang, I will take my parents to where I am in two days. This is my address in the United States. Come over if you have time.

"

"Okay, senior sister, I will come over when I have time. Then I'll leave first." With that, Hao Liang said goodbye to Professor Jiao and the others again, and drove back.

The next afternoon after sending Professor Jiao back to the provincial capital, Hao Liang was looking at documents in his office.

I just wanted to go to Douzhen to see what the mobile phone factory was like. As soon as I got downstairs and sat in the car, Hao Liang's cell phone rang.

Hao Liang looked at the number displayed on his phone and it was from his uncle who rarely called him. Hao Liang picked up the call.

Before Hao Liang could speak, he heard his uncle say urgently.

"A Liang, something happened to your brother A Jing, please come back quickly."

"What happened to the boss? Did he owe gambling debts again and someone came to his door?" Hao Liang asked the uncle.

"I just received a call from the town police station. The child A Jing got into a conflict with someone in Gan Province and died. Your mother has fainted. Please come over quickly."

"Uncle, you said that the boss is dead. You can't be lying, right?" Hao Liang asked with some fright.

Although Hao Liang wished his brother had died, he still felt a little unspeakable about his death. After calming down, Hao Liang asked his uncle again.

"What about my mother?"

"What else can I do? I'm so stupid that I can't even speak. Come back quickly. If you don't come back this time, you will really be pointed out and scolded by the villagers." The uncle persuaded Hao Liang.

"Well, I'll be back then. Hang up first." Hao Liang said and hung up the phone.

Hao Liang got out of the car again, went to the office upstairs, and said to Meng Mengdi who was staying in the office.

"Mengmeng, I want to go back to my hometown."

"I'll go with you, Chicken Wings. I'm going back to see my uncle. Don't bite those worn-out shoes." When Meng Mengdi heard that Hao Liang was going back to his hometown, she shouted to Chicken Wings who was biting her shoes at the foot of the wall.

As soon as the chicken wings heard that they were going to the uncle's house, they immediately threw away the shoes they were chewing and walked to Hao Liang even more excited than Meng Mengdi.

Hao Liang heard that Meng Mengdi was also going, Hao Liang said to Meng Mengdi.

"The eldest son of mine died in Gan Province. I want to go back and have a look, so you shouldn't go. I may have to come back in a few days."

"That gambler Hao Jing is dead, right?" Meng Mengdi asked in surprise.

"Well, if you're afraid of going to your room alone, why don't you go home and stay for a few days? I'll call you when I get back."

"Okay, then I'll go back with the chicken wings. Call me when you get back."

Hao Liang and Meng Mengdi went downstairs together. When they got downstairs, they got into their cars and left Yueshi.

When Hao Liang arrived at his mother's house, his mother was sitting in a daze on a chair in the main room. Several relatives also came over, and several police officers were at Hao Liang's mother's house.

"Ah Liang, go talk to your mother." The uncle saw Hao Liang coming in and said to Hao Liang.

Hao Liang didn't refuse this time. How could his mother be partial? At least she had given birth to him, and the eldest son she had always favored was dead.

Hao Liang couldn't continue to be stubborn with his mother at the risk of being called unfilial, so he walked up to his mother and said.

"Don't be too sad. Maybe they made a mistake and didn't count. The boss is out enjoying the hot food and drinking spicy food."

Hao Liang's words seemed to help his mother, who had lost her mind, find a life-saving straw. He said to the two sitting policemen.

"Yes, yes, the boss is so smart and is still a college student. How could he die in a fight? You must have made a mistake. Right?"

"There may be a mistake. I want you to go over and identify me. Are you Hao Liang? Your mother is like this now. Can you come with me?"

"His uncle, I will stay at home. You and A Liang can go over there. The other police comrades have been waiting for a long time." The uncle said to the uncle who was sitting aside.

"Brother, you have to look carefully. Don't think of the boss, just call him the boss. He has a red birthmark on his shoulder." Hao Liang's mother warned her uncle when she saw him getting up.

The uncle who stood up nodded, got into the police car with Hao Liang, and headed towards Gan Province.

At almost one o'clock in the evening, Hao Liang and the others arrived at a county town in Gan Province. At this time, it was obviously impossible to identify the body.

Hao Liang paid for a room in a hotel in the county town and stayed there for one night. He also treated the policeman who came with him to a late-night snack.

The next morning, I went to the local public security bureau with the policemen who came with me.

After arriving at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau and parking the car, a fellow policeman turned back to Hao Liang and said to his uncle.

"Hao Liang, you should be mentally prepared and don't be too sad. The chance of us making a mistake is very small. I hope we make a mistake this time."

Hao Liang also knew that since the police had been notified to identify the body, there would definitely be nothing wrong. He nodded and said.

"I'm mentally prepared, don't worry."

"That's good. My condolences." He said and walked in with Hao Liang.

After some procedures, Hao Liang and the others came to the morgue of a hospital and found Hao Jing's body.

Hao Liang took one look and knew it was his brother Hao Jing. He nodded to the police and backed away.

"It's Hao Jing's child. How can my eldest sister survive now?" After confirming, the uncle shouted with great distress.

I don’t know if I really feel sorry for Hao Liang’s mother, or if I feel sorry that the money he borrowed from Hao Jing is unaccounted for.

Returning to the public security bureau, Hao Liang asked the policeman handling the case, "How did my brother die?"

"According to our current investigation, your brother had a conflict with someone while gambling in an underground casino, and was beaten to death after he came out."

"Have you caught the person who hit me?"

"Not yet, we are investigating now, but they are all foreigners, so it is a bit troublesome to investigate. We will solve the case as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you. When can we take away my brother's body so that he can be buried in peace?" Hao Liang said in a low voice.

"Tomorrow, you can take it away after you complete the formalities tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you. Let's go now. Come back tomorrow." Hao Liang thanked the policeman again.

On the morning of the third day, Hao Liang and his uncle returned home holding his brother's ashes. Hao Liang's mother immediately rushed up and said to Hao Liang.

"Second brother, am I mistaken? That person is not your brother. Please tell me. He is not your brother, right?"

Before Hao Liang could answer, the uncle holding the urn beside him said, "Sister, there's no mistake, it's that child A Jing. When he was gambling, he got into a conflict with someone and was accidentally beaten to death."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The boss called me a few days ago and told me that I was working there and would be promoted soon. He also told me to pay me a thousand yuan to come over. He was there to treat me. It's impossible for him

Let’s go gambling again.”

After Hao Liang's mother finished speaking, she fell directly to the ground. It took her a while to wake up.

Her hair, which was originally a bit gray, suddenly turned white, and her whole person looked much older. She looked like an old woman in her eighties, with her eyes dull and unresponsive.

Hao Liang's mother couldn't accept that her beloved eldest son, whom she had devoted her whole life to, died like this. This was all her hope.

Hao Liang saw that his mother had become like this. He could only take care of Hao Jing's funeral. Other relatives could not help.
