Chapter 23
Guan Xiao and the others took a train for two days to arrive in this small town, but Guan Xiao’s house took another two hours to get there by bus. Small courtyard.The dilapidated bus rolled over the pitted concrete floor, and the bumps were severe. Guan Xiao looked apologetically at He Yunfeng who was sitting next to her, but he looked out the window. There was no expression on his face. There is no special expression, neither dislike nor liking can be seen.
Guan Xiao turned his head, and if he saw his situation later, his rock-like expression would probably loosen.After two wobbly hours, Guan Xiao got out of the car with the suitcase, and led He Yunfeng through a few fields, and saw an old brick house behind a small hill. There are already some differences from what Guan Xiao remembers.
She stood outside the small courtyard with her bag in her hand, hesitated for a while, and then pushed open the wooden door of the small courtyard. There was no one in the empty small courtyard, as if no one had lived in it for many years, and there was no breath of life at all, Guan Xiao In her memory, there was only an open space where the farm tools were left. She took He Yunfeng and stood in the small courtyard and called "Mom?" Yun Feng reminded Guan Xiao, "Could it be that you're not at home?"
"No, it's already at this point, my mother should be at home" flatly denied He Yunfeng's guess, Guan Xiao, who couldn't see the figure of the old man, felt a little bit in her heart, she hurried to the closed gate, looked at the The locked door was inserted, and the wooden door was slammed again, but no one responded. He Yunfeng behind him looked at the anxious Guan Xiao and didn't go up to stop him. His eyes seemed to be watching a play, and Guan Xiao turned his head helplessly. She restrained herself when she looked at him anxiously.
"Why is there no one? Mom? Mom?!!!!" Guan smiled and hurriedly ran out the door to look at both sides, but the neighbors on both sides closed their doors tightly.Guan Xiao ran to the newly built three-story building on the right according to his memory and patted on the iron gate, "Is Uncle Chen at home?" Guan Xiao, who did not hear the answer, patted on the door again. When I looked around, the door opened, and a middle-aged man with a vigilant face looked at Guan Xiao who was standing outside, with disgust and disgust in his brows, and shouted in dialect, "Knock what knock, who are you?" "
Guan Xiao hurriedly adjusted his tone, making it sound kind and comfortable, "I am the youngest daughter of the Li family, Li Guanxiao, and I used to play at the door of your house."
The middle-aged man thought for a while and patted himself on the head, the expression on his face was not the same as before, "Guan Xiao, I think I belong to that group of people."
"You are little black brother, I haven't seen you for many years, by the way, little black brother asked you something, do you know where my mother is?" Guan Xiao knew who the gang he was talking about was, So she was even more anxious to know her mother's whereabouts and didn't want to talk to him, so she went straight to the point.
"Aunt Zhang, she was picked up by your elder brother a few days ago." The honest and honest eldest son of the Chen family told Li Guanxiao the whereabouts of her mother. As soon as Guan Xiao learned about it, she rushed to her elder brother's house anxiously. She knew Something must have happened, and the eldest brother came back to pick up his mother. Her mother once said to her that she would not leave the old house for half a step unless she died.
He Yunfeng didn't complain about following behind Li Guanxiao, he looked at Guan Xiao with an unexplained scrutiny.After trekking in the fields for more than half an hour, Guan Xiao finally arrived at the house in front of the elder brother's house. At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and Li Guanxiao, who was covered in sweat, didn't care about those things. She went forward and knocked on the door of the elder brother's house , it was my sister-in-law who opened the door, she looked at Guan Xiao with the eyes of a stranger, and then she seemed to remember something and asked, "Are you Guan Xiao?"
"My sister-in-law is me, where is my mother?"
Seeing what Guan Xiao said, the woman who looked like a village woman hurried into the room, and after a while, a typical rural man appeared in front of Guan Xiao. His bronzed skin from doing farm work was covered with wrinkles from the vicissitudes of life, " Brother, where is our mother?" Guan Xiao looked at her brother whom she hadn't seen for many years, her mood was extremely complicated, the village man saw the youngest sister in the family came back, he didn't know how to express it for a while, stood at the door rubbing his rough hands , jerky called Guan Xiao’s name and said, “Mom, I’m lying in the room.”
"Mom, what's the matter?" Guan Xiao's bad premonition rose again.
"Mom, I'm sick." Li Guanhan, a 1.8-meter rural man, became angry when he said this. He was afraid that his sister would blame her brother when he saw his mother lying on the bed when he entered the room.Li Guanxiao looked at his brother with his head down and knew that something was going to happen. He lifted the curtain and went in to take a look, only to find his weak mother lying on the bed, "Mom, I'm Guan Xiao, I'm back." Guan Xiao sat down with red eyes. Beside the mother's bed, the old lady slowly opened her cloudy eyes when she heard Guan Xiao's call.
"Guan Xiao..." After a long time, she squeezed out these two words from her trembling lips, "Why did this happen? Mom? Didn't you feel fine when you made the phone call?" Guan Xiao turned his attention to his elder brother who followed him into the door.
"That day... Mom was pushed that day, and she didn't feel anything at first, but the next day, Mom felt uncomfortable..." Li Guanhan explained poorly.
Guan Xiao suddenly turned his head, "Why don't you go to the hospital?"
"..." Li Guanhan didn't know how to explain what his sister said. He said he would take his mother with him, but his wife refused to let him go. Going to the hospital and spending money may not necessarily cure him.
"Brother, how do you take care of mom? Are you the right mom?! I sent money to mom!" Seeing such a brother, Guan Xiao stood up from the chair angrily, she didn't know Almost half of the money she sent to the old lady went into her brother's pocket.
"Hey! What are you talking about! Can you blame your brother? What about your bastard father?" It was her sister-in-law who came to meet Li Guan's jokes. Since her brother got married, Guan Xiao didn't like this sister-in-law.
"I sent mom enough money to go to the hospital, why don't you take her there!" Guan Xiao felt that his temper could not be suppressed.
"It can't be cured if I go there, it's better to let the old lady rest at home."
"Can you rest if you rest? Mom is about to die, brother! You are unfilial, you know that!" Guan Xiao cast his eyes on his honest brother, but he followed behind his wife's ass obediently don't say anything.
"Heh, are you talking about filial piety with your brother? Are you worthy? The family worked hard to support you in college, and gave you all the delicious food and drink. You have no conscience, you don't come back for seven or eight years. , You are also called filial piety? Compared with your brother, what are you?" The sister-in-law opened her voice and showed a fierce look, pointing at Guan Xiao's nose and choking.
"I...bring the money, I'll take my mother to see a doctor!" Guan Xiao knew that her sister-in-law was right, and these words touched her heart, making her heart dripping with blood.
"No money," the shrew said directly.
"No money? Where's the money?!!!" Guan Xiao looked at her brother's face in disbelief, as if she understood something in an instant, "Li Guanhan! Mom's pension money, you dare to take it! You won't be allowed to take a penny to support mom Forget it, do you still make up your minds with this little money?!! You all will die!" Gritting his teeth, Li Guanxiao really wanted to pounce on them and slap each of them.
"That bastard father of yours is the one who deserves a terrible death, you should kill him!"
"It's not up to you to say whether he's dead or not! Bring the money!" Li Guanxiao was like an angry lion, bristling all of her hair and trying to pounce on this angry target.
He Yunfeng, who had been watching from the sidelines all the time, felt that the time had come, he hurried up to make a show and pulled away Li Guanxiao who was about to jump into the fight.Just when Guan Xiao was arguing so loudly, the old mother on the bed spoke up and called Guan Xiao's name, Guan Xiao immediately stopped all the noise, rushed over and knelt beside her mother, and grabbed the baby with one hand. Looking at her mother's withered palms, she couldn't cry, and the huge guilt made her breathless. "Guan Xiao...Mom...I'm content to see you..." The old lady's voice was hoarse and weak, and Guan Xiao burst into tears, "Mom, I'm sorry...I'm sorry...Guan Xiao was wrong...Mom..."
"Guan Xiao...Mom knows...you are suffering...don't blame...your brother" The old lady moved her fingers as if trying to grab her daughter's hand, but she couldn't move her whole body now. The only thing she could move was her eyes. The pain of the daughter being alone, Guan Xiao, who never reported to her family, always smiled and talked with her on the phone, sent money home, and even helped the father who had dragged them down all his life to pay off the debt. She was tired and pitiful. She knew that Guan Xiao did that to prevent those people from coming to her door, and there was no other way.
The old lady looked at Guan Xiao with displeasure, and her erratic eyes fell on the face of He Yunfeng who was standing behind Guan Xiao. She moved her lips slightly as if she wanted to say something, and Guan Xiao comprehended to introduce to her mother, "Mom, this is He Yunfeng, my...boyfriend..." Guan Xiao lowered the last three words, she hoped that the old lady would be happy when she heard that she had someone who could take care of her.He Yunfeng nodded and did not deny Guan Xiao's words, nor did he agree.
"Guan Xiao...is a good boy" The old lady said this to He Yunfeng, and He Yunfeng also nodded obediently.
"Mom, don't worry." The old lady's wrinkled mouth curled up into a difficult smile, and she slowly closed her eyes. She looked at her tired mother and didn't want to disturb her. She stood up and covered her mother. Hao Quilt walked out and wiped away her tears outside the door. She turned her head and said coldly to the elder brother beside her, "When those people came, did they bring an IOU? How much is it?"
"To" Li Guanhan really went back to the house and grabbed a crumpled loan note.
"200 million?!!! How does he, a rural gambler, owe so much!" Angrily, Guan Xiao tore the IOU into pieces and threw it on the ground. She would never be able to pay back such money. Think, this is forcing her to die!Heartbroken, Li Guanxiao slumped on the ground angrily. She had never been so desperate before. All the hardships she suffered in the city did not break her down, but this IOU completely broke her down. All the lines of defense, those who can't get the money will definitely not let her and her relatives go, what should she do?She had no choice but to shed tears in pain, her mind went blank, and the figure of a person crazily grew in her mind. She really wanted to hug her and cry bitterly, and vomit out all her grievances.
"I can help you pay back the 200 million," He Yunfeng said calmly while standing beside Guan Xiao.
Guan Xiao looked up at He Yunfeng in surprise, her face was full of disbelief, what she said just now in front of her mother didn't mean she was telling the truth, and she didn't expect He Yunfeng to help her pay back. Money, such a large amount of money, what exactly does this man want?Is it really the so-called love?
Guan Xiao turned his head, and if he saw his situation later, his rock-like expression would probably loosen.After two wobbly hours, Guan Xiao got out of the car with the suitcase, and led He Yunfeng through a few fields, and saw an old brick house behind a small hill.
