A red bean of crossing
Chapter 5
When getting divorced, Qin Yun expected that Xia Hanshan would not just step down quietly and bow like this, so when Qin Yun saw Du Mushang at the door that day, she was not too surprised.
She would be surprised if the two of them didn't make any noise.It's just that she didn't expect Du Mushang to confidently ask her to remarry Xia Hanshan.
She had guessed what kind of woman Du Mushang was.Black belly?Money worshiper?Eager to climb high branches and get a stable life? ——In any case, she doesn't believe in Du Mushang's theory of "can't help herself" to whitewash herself, and she's not a little girl who doesn't know the world, so she really doesn't know what consequences her behavior of meddling in other people's families will cause .
A woman of Du Mushang's age must have a sense of right and wrong. The reason why she dared to run to other people's houses crying and crying, "Just a small corner is enough" and do things like a weak person to rob. It is necessary to pry people's corners, but also to get everyone's sympathy, understanding, and seem to be justified.love?Maybe, but how many, only she knows.
The following days were very quiet. On the day they left Taiwan, several friends of Qin Yun and Xia Chulei came to the airport to see them off.
All the children of the Liang family came, except Liang Zhizhong. Liang Zhiwen exchanged pleasantries with everyone, and then dragged Chu Lei to a corner not far away to talk. Print a kiss.
Chu Lei cried, and she kept crying until she got on the plane.Qin Yun took out a handkerchief from her small bag and handed it to her.
Chu Lei was startled, and took it.Qin Yun patted her comfortingly twice.During the more than a month when they were preparing to leave Taiwan, Chu Lei and Liang Zhiwen reconciled. Qin Yun did not express any objection or support for this, but when Liang Zhiwen came to Lin's house as a guest, Qin Yun was not enthusiastic. That's it.
After more than ten hours of flying, the plane finally landed at the airport in country Y. Qin Yun and Xia Chulei got into the taxi with their luggage and went directly to the hotel they had booked.The two ate something casually in the restaurant, took a shower, and fell into the soft big bed one after the other.
When she woke up, it was already dark outside, and a dazzling light shone into Qin Yun's eyes. When she turned her head, Chu Lei was writing a letter under the lamp.
"Chu Lei? What time is it?"
Xia Chulei paused, then wiped away the tears on his face with a tissue beside him, "Twenty past six."
Qin Yun stared at her back in a daze for a while, got up and took out a suit of clothes from the luggage to change on, then rubbed Chu Lei's head lightly, "Are you hungry, little girl? Go down with mother to eat something Is everything okay?"
Qin Yun's English is not good. Unfortunately, the main language of Country Y is English, so she has no choice but to ask Chu Lei to be her personal interpreter.
Chu Lei agreed.
Qin Yun traveled abroad in the name of "relaxing", so naturally it was impossible to sit in the hotel from morning till night.During the day, she took a city map and took Chu Lei Nei to visit every church, museum, and park in the city. Sometimes, when she met someone she liked, she would go to the same place for several days in a row.At night, the two had dinner on the street where the lights were just coming on, chatting and thinking about their own thoughts.
In the first few days, Chu Lei was often in a daze, sometimes giggling inexplicably, but found time to write letters to Liang Zhiwen almost every night.
Qin Yun never asked more questions, but after a long time, Chu Lei couldn't help but mention her boyfriend in front of her.
Zhiwen decided to go to the United States to teach while waiting for her.
The letter asked her to promise to correspond with him.
Zhiwen regards this separation as a test.
……
Qin Yun listened with a smile every time, nodded occasionally, and patted Chu Lei's arm affectionately.
Anyway, with such a long distance in space, the love between two people can only stay on paper. As for how long they can last, it depends on their perseverance.
Qin Yun's impression of Liang Zhiwen still hasn't changed. The few meetings in Lin's house before leaving Taiwan did not eliminate her bad impression of Liang Zhiwen at all.
A person's quality will be inadvertently revealed from the way he speaks and behaves.Although Liang Zhiwen is very polite to her and very enthusiastic towards Chu Lei, he often involuntarily reveals his selfish side in his gestures.It feels like you can see a big "I" written in his heart, others can only be squeezed into a small corner of grievance, and he still wants to tell you: "Look, how important you are to me, I love you so much. They don’t put other people in such an important position.”
Chulei just reconciled with Zhiwen, fell into love again, and couldn't see everything in front of her.Qin Yun is also unwilling to pour cold water at this time, but keeps enriching and adding more content during the journey, so that Chu Lei does not just circle around "love".
They have traveled many places.Qin Yun picked up her hobby of painting again during the trip, and occasionally drew a small portrait of Chu Lei with an exaggerated expression when she was in a daze, which made Chu Lei laugh and jump.
Chu Lei found that her mother had changed, and she was no longer the housewife in her impression who only cared about her daughter's basic necessities of life and her own beauty care.She has her own hobbies, is curious, loves to play, and is very receptive.She is not good at English, but she is willing to work hard to learn, and she learns very quickly.
She didn't expect her mother to stand up from the pain of divorce so quickly. She thought it would be a painful trip.Her mother will need her comfort and persuasion. When they are sad, they will scold the woman who intervened in her family and took her father away.
But no.Occasionally, when she accidentally mentioned her father, her mother would just change the subject slightly, with a calm expression, as if she hadn't taken it to heart.
Once resting in the square, she looked at the young couple opposite and couldn't help feeling: "Love is a woman's life."
"Love is love, and life is life." Qin Yun couldn't help but smile, "Love is icing on the cake, and life is the brocade. Without life, you can't have both." After a pause, he added, "Want to be beautiful For love, you must first own your brocade."
Qin Yun was also young before, she understands Chu Lei, 20s is the age to look forward to love, and it is normal to regard love as important.But it's not normal to take it too seriously.Qin Yun didn't think about correcting her all at once, but kept broadening her horizons during the journey, letting her know that the happiness and fun of life are not limited to love.
******
Qin Yun took Chu Lei to stop and go in various European countries. There are beautiful European buildings and squares everywhere, but Qin Yun still likes France the most.Almost as soon as she set foot on the land of France, she fell in love with the atmosphere here.After visiting several scenic spots, Qin Yun set up a painting booth in a square where painting artists gathered.
At first she just thought it was fun, but she gradually found that this method can exercise the mastery of the characters' expressions and postures, so she devoted herself to it.The material of her paintings is mainly watercolor, which is not special among a group of street artists who show their artistic talents in various forms, but the strong Chinese taste in her painting style makes her works look different.
Some gallery brokers even expressed interest in cooperating with her paintings, but she declined.She has self-knowledge, her paintings are not very good, but they are very special among a group of Western-style painters.What's more, she doesn't plan to live in France for a long time, and there will be all kinds of insurmountable difficulties in real cooperation.
Chu Lei did not object to her mother setting up a street stall to sell paintings, but she was a little shy in the first few days.Fortunately, most of the artists on the square were young people, and Chu Lei herself was playful and funny, so she got acquainted with them soon, and began to chat with them in blunt French mixed with English.When the conversation got excited, a few young people even made gestures and said, sometimes they had to draw a few strokes in order to let the other party better understand what they meant.
It was at this time that Chu Lei fell in love with painting thoroughly.Seeing young people of the same age sketch out vivid flower and bird characters with a few strokes, which is not only expressive but also full of wit, she is very envious.While envious, she also began to try painting.
In the letter to the text, there are more of her paintings.
"Mom, do you think my painting is good?"
On the screen is a corner of the square they often go to.Chu Lei wanted to send this painting in a letter to Zhiwen, so that Zhiwen could understand her current life.
With no fixed place during the trip, she seldom received replies from Liang Zhiwen, and once in a while on the phone, she would be considerate of Liang Zhiwen's modest income, and kept the time within 10 minutes.
She once proposed that she pay the phone bill, but Liang Zhiwen strongly opposed it. For this reason, the two quarreled again. After three days of cold war, Chu Lei apologized softly, and the matter naturally ended.
After Qin Yun found out about this, she said, "Actually, he can choose a gentler way to discuss with you—the understanding between lovers is mutual."
Qin Yun scoffed at Liang Zhiwen's remark that "I don't want to be taken care of by a woman" during the quarrel.This tone sounds very manly, but it is actually just covering up the fragile self-esteem that is stung by the word "money".A well-bred man takes his girlfriend's feelings into consideration even when he rejects her proposal.Getting angry and quarreling at every turn is a manifestation of selfishness, arrogance and inferiority complex.
Qin Yun didn't force her point of view on Chu Lei.Chu Lei is not stupid, she is just blinded by love and cannot see clearly for the time being.She needs space and time to think.
The life of performing on the street not only gave Chu Lei another hobby, but also made her realize that it is not easy to earn money.Different from Qin Yun's nature of playing tickets, those young street performers are really working hard for their dreams.Chu Lei saw it and was very touched.
"They are able to stick to their ideals and take care of their own lives. They don't use their ideals as bargaining chips for others. They are very fulfilling from their hearts to their lives. I envy them and hope that one day they can become that kind of people." In the evening, Chu Lei sat beside Qin Yun's bed with her pillow in her arms, telling her feelings over the past few days, her eyes shining brightly under the lamp.
Qin Yun smiled and rubbed her hair, "The little girl has grown up."
"Mom~ I'm no longer a child!" Chu Lei avoided her hand, laughing and protesting.
Qin Yun shook her head tolerantly and helplessly, picked up the original document and continued reading.
"Mom, you are so beautiful." After a moment of silence, Chu Lei said suddenly.
Qin Yun raised her eyes and smiled gently.
Chu Lei sighed in satisfaction, "Mom."
"Ok?"
"You're not what you used to be."
"What's the difference?" Qin Yun put down the book.
Chu Lei tilted her head mischievously, "You used to be more like a mother, but now you are not only like a mother, but also like a friend."
Qin Yun was taken aback.
"I like you better now." Chu Lei chuckled, kissed her on the cheek, turned around and climbed onto her bed, and turned off the light, "Good night, beautiful mommy."
In the first 20 years of her life, Chu Lei worshiped her father more than her mother.In her eyes, her father, who is successful in his career and caring for his family, is like a mountain that steadily carries and protects her family.Until all this was crushed by an inexplicable woman.
His father's derailment and departure were painful, but what he left behind was not all pain.She still remembers the lonely back of her mother in the living room after she suffered a betrayal and used the tooth card to tell her fortune. But after the divorce, she quickly transformed into a strong, independent, brave, and full of zest for life.
Yes.woman.
Whether it is a mother or a wife, they are all roles given by society. If these are removed, a woman is essentially just a woman.She should have her own fun, her own life, her own pursuit.When she has love, her life is good.If she unfortunately loses her love, her life is still good.
She has the ability to be happy and happy, and this ability is given to herself, and she does not need to ask others for it.
The author has something to say:
☆, Du Mushang
The door was slammed hard with a "bang", and the baby in the cradle was startled by the sudden loud noise, and began to cry softly. Du Mushang hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and frantically hugged him. up the child.
"Mom!—Mom—" As if it wasn't lively enough, Yu Ting cried out in another room, "Mom! Get him back, get him back! Please bring Zhizhong Get it back for me." Before she could finish her sentence, Yuting knocked open the bedroom door and stumbled in, "Zhizhong left, right? He abandoned me again, you have a new husband, but what about mine? Mine What about Zhizhong? You promised me that he would not leave me, just like Uncle Xia would not leave you. You said we would be a family that loves each other. You promised! Let Zhizhong come back, mom. I I swear I will never cling to him again, and I swear I will listen to him. Mom, help me, I can't live without him, get him back for me!"
"Yu Ting, wake up!" Du Mushang held the baby in one hand, grabbed Yu Ting's arm with the other, and said anxiously: "It's not Zhizhong! It's not Zhizhong! It's Xia Hanshan, it's your Uncle Xia. Wake up!" Wake up—"
"Let Uncle Xia go!" Hearing Xia Hanshan's name, Yu Ting's eyes lit up suddenly, she raised the crumpled paper in her hand, and said loudly: "I wrote a letter of guarantee. I put my love , my attachment, everything about me is written here! Mom, let Uncle Xia take this to go, Zhizhong will definitely come back after reading this. Mom! Please!"
Yu Ting frantically stuffed the letter into Du Mushang's hand. Du Mushang was worried that she would hurt the child, so she had to take it.
"Okay, he's going, he's going. He's going to get your Zhizhong back. Be good, go to rest, get some sleep, Zhizhong will be back when you wake up... go, my dear Yuting .”
"You promise!? You promise!?" Yu Ting grabbed her hand nervously and opened her eyes wide.
"I promise, I promise."
"Okay...I believe you...you promised, don't lie to me again." Yu Ting stared at her for a while in doubt, chose to believe her words, and went back to her bedroom step by step.
The door was closed again.Du Mushang buried her face in the baby's swaddling clothes, and cried out with restraint.
How did you get to this point?
She and Han Shan broke through many obstacles and came together, but it was only a year, what made their life full of suspicion, accusation and endless quarrels?
When she snatched Xia Hanshan from Lin Nianping in the first place, Du Mushang was not complacent, especially after she met Lin Nianping himself - elegant, beautiful, noble, with tens of millions of wealth, so what?Han Shan still chose himself.Du Mushang was very satisfied, Han Shan showed her position in his heart with actions, and she was the woman who could make him happy.
Without the obstacles of Lin Nianping and Xia Chulei, Han Shan and her, Yu Ting and Zhizhong became the first happy family of four.Du Mushang quit her job as a matter of course, and took care of Yu Ting while raising her baby at home.However, the economic pressure and the daughter's illness prevented the family's happiness from lasting for a long time.
Du Mushang stopped crying, raised her head from the swaddle, and the baby who was weak due to premature birth was still crying weakly in her arms.She patted the swaddle, trying to reassure the poor child.
Which one is more pitiful, Yuting or the child in her arms? ——Du Mushang thought in a daze.
If Liang Zhizhong's arrival brought Yuting back to life, then his departure drove her into madness.
The relationship between Zhizhong and Yu Ting developed quickly, and they became like one person after a short time of acquaintance, but after the passionate love passed, Liang Zhizhong's selfish side was quickly exposed, and he began to pick on Yu Ting for various reasons.Du Mushang is at home every day, so she naturally knows all this, but she ignores it in a self-deceiving manner. She thinks these "little quarrels" are just a small game for men and women in love to adjust their feelings. She advises Yuting to be more gentle, more considerate, and more Let's take it easy.
"A lot of times a man is just a child in his heart, and needs a woman's tolerance and admiration." This is what Xia Hanshan said, and Du Mushang agreed with it very much, and taught it to his bewildered daughter.
But the situation has not improved, but worsened.Until that day, Liang Zhizhong furiously accused Yu Ting in the living room, saying that her entanglement interfered with his life.Du Mushang ran out of the kitchen to try to persuade her, but was pushed down by Liang Zhizhong, resulting in premature delivery.Liang Zhizhong took advantage of the chaos and ran away, but there was no further news.They found the Liang family, but they couldn't find out Liang Zhizhong's whereabouts.The Liang family showed a willingness to take responsibility, but in the end they only paid the medical expenses and a small amount of compensation, and they were unwilling to pay any more.
Yu Ting's mental illness worsened sharply due to Liang Zhizhong's departure, and Du Mushang's child was also extremely weak due to an unexpected premature birth.
She proposed to file a lawsuit, even if not for herself, to seek justice for her daughter, but Xia Hanshan vetoed it.
"Do you know how much I spent to marry you for divorce? You don't work, Yu Ting doesn't work, plus the newborn child, a family of four depends on me to support, I have to pay off the debt, and then go to court ——How much will it cost for legal fees? Besides, I don't have the energy to deal with the trial." Xia Hanshan looked exhausted, "It's not like their family didn't lose money anyway, let's forget it."
Du Mushang was faintly disappointed. At the beginning, she married Xia Hanshan with all her heart, in order to have someone to rely on, a man who could stand up for her when she was wronged and help her settle everything.
What might be the solution?Han Shan has given up almost everything for her, and she can't blame him for giving up all his property for herself after she got him, which led to financial difficulties now.
The baby in his arms gradually stopped crying. Du Mushang put him in the cradle and rocked him a few times. After the baby fell asleep, he got up and walked out of the room and walked into Yu Ting's bedroom.
Yu Ting closed her eyes and lay quietly on the bed.Du Mushang walked over lightly, caressed her forehead distressedly, and straightened her messy hair scattered beside the pillow.
In fact, Liang Zhizhong wasn't suitable for Yu Ting in the first place, right?Years of autism has made Yu Ting's heart very sensitive and fragile. What she needs is gentle care and patient guidance, but what Liang Zhizhong lacks is exactly these.
What Liang Zhizhong needs is a little pet who worships him, admires him, obeys him unconditionally, and can satisfy his macho vanity, not a "girlfriend" who clings to him all the time.He accused Yu Ting of not giving him freedom and not letting him have his own space.The most serious time—that is, the time before the breakup—he pushed Yu Ting to the mirror, "Look at your appearance! You are so pale, like a female ghost! My friends say you are crazy!" Did you hear that? Crazy! With you, even I will be looked down upon! Who would find a crazy girlfriend?! Cry, cry, cry, cry if you are not satisfied at all! God knows why I abandoned Chu Lei to be with you .At first I thought you were very good, but now I feel that I was deceived! Your mother, your shameless Uncle Xia, they all know that you are abnormal, and let me fall in love with you!"
Liang Zhizhong's angry curse seemed to be still in his ears, piercing his heart.Du Mushang covered her mouth and tried to swallow the sob, but a tear that was too late to save still fell stubbornly on Yuting's pillow.
Xia Hanshan used "love therapy" to divert Yu Ting's attention, but ignored that she was not a normal, mature child, and the blow to her from falling out of love was several times more severe than that of ordinary children...
"Mom?" Yu Ting suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Du Mushang in a daze, "Are you crying?" Yu Ting stared at her face, carefully distinguished for a while, then got up in a panic, and hugged her In her arms, "Don't cry, don't cry. It will be fine when Zhizhong comes back, we are still a happy family. Mom, I will stop making trouble, and you should be good, everything will be fine, it will." As if affirming what she said, she nodded vigorously.
The phrase "Zhizhong will not come back" stuck in Du Mushang's throat like a thorn, and he wanted to say it but couldn't.Self-blame, pain, and remorse weighed heavily on her heart, and she burst into tears uncontrollably—crying for her mentally disturbed daughter, crying for Zailei who was born prematurely, and crying for herself who was at a loss.
How did you get to this point?
******
From Jinwuxifall to the first lighting of the lanterns, and then from the first lighting of the lanterns to the deep night, Du Mushang sat blankly in the bedroom, guarding a small dim light, and looked out the window in a daze.
Outside the window is the Tamsui River.Once, many nights, she and Han Shan enjoyed the night by the river together, saw the lights on the main bridge, watched the moonlight reflected on the river surface, walked with him on the long embankment, and the evening wind blowing by the river.At that time, their reunion was always short-lived, but their happiness was within reach.
The door of the living room opened with a "squeak", followed by the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor.
Du Mushang was still looking out the window.She knew that Han Shan was back, and she could guess what he would do next.He would change out of his leather shoes, go straight to the bathroom to wash up, and then change into pajamas.Given that they had just had an argument this afternoon, he might choose to sleep in the guest room.
Maybe they will have a cold war for a day or two?And then she can't help asking for reconciliation—she's always the one who admits the wrong one first, she's tearing up his family and leaving him in trouble.She loves him and feels guilty too.
Unexpectedly, he directly opened the bedroom door, and the light was turned on. Du Mushang narrowed his eyes uncomfortably, looking at the man at the door.
Xia Hanshan was very serious, "Come out, I have something to tell you."
Du Mushang looked hesitantly at Zailei who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, and after making sure that he would not wake up in a short time, he obediently stood up and followed him out of the bedroom.
"I thought about it. I was a little impatient about what happened in the afternoon." Xia Hanshan stood still in the middle of the living room and whispered - he didn't want to disturb the child, "but Yuting's endless harassment seriously interfered with my work. You must restrain her!"
Here we go again, this topic again.Du Mushang felt chilled for a while, because Zailei was busy crying and making noise in the afternoon, so she didn't keep an eye on Yu Ting, and let her daughter sneak into the living room to make phone calls to Xia Hanshan's office, which annoyed Hanshan.Xia Hanshan left the patient behind and ran back early, quarreling with her as soon as he entered the door, blaming her for allowing the child to sabotage his work.
Du Mushang held his breath in his heart - could it be that Yu Ting's appearance today was caused by her alone? !
She suppressed her anger, "Han Shan! You don't know! Yu Ting was provoked by Zhizhong. She kept calling you because she trusted you. The purpose is to let you get Zhizhong back to her! And I alone One has to take care of two children, one can take care of one, but not the other! Yu Ting is not awake, but it is impossible for me to watch her all the time."
"You're not going to unplug the phone line!"
"She was just hit, not an idiot! I pulled it out!" Du Mushang realized that his voice was too high, paused, and then continued, "I have to take care of the children, do housework, and iron your clothes. I have to cook and keep the house tidy. I'm really tired... Han Shan, what Yu Ting needs is a psychiatrist."
"Psychiatrist? Go and see, my salary this month is enough for you to eat and wear, and after paying off the foreign debts, is it enough to hire a psychiatrist for Yu Ting?" Xia Hanshan was agitated for a while, why are all the bad things?Before, he never worried about having no money, and Nian Ping never bothered him with housework and child discipline.
"But……"
"Don't talk anymore." Xia Hanshan felt very tired, from inside to outside, everything didn't develop as he expected, and even Du Mushang, who was originally connected with each other, became difficult to communicate.She just didn't understand why he worked hard to pay off the debt one day earlier and let the family live a normal life.How could she allow Yu Ting to harass him?
He shook his head, and the wine he drank because he was bored in the afternoon hit him up one after another.
"How about it," he rubbed his temples, "Cut off the phone line first, and I'll go to the phone office to turn off the phone at home in a few days."
"What?" Du Mushang almost jumped up, "What if something happens to Yu Ting and Zailei? Where can I call the ambulance? You have to think about the children!"
"Du Mushang! Please think about it for me too!" Xia Hanshan broke out, "Did you forget who I am here because of? I didn't have to be so embarrassed. If it wasn't for you and Zailei, I would There is no need to repay any foreign debts! I am working hard to make money now for you! As for Yu Ting," he paused, "she is your daughter and has nothing to do with me! I only tolerate her for your sake! Now My work has been messed up by her, and you have an obligation to control her! Even if you can't control it, you have an obligation to find a way to keep her from interfering with me! You can't think of a way, okay! I've thought of it for you. Don't push back and forth Anyway!"
Du Mushang stared at him in disbelief. When he was pursuing her, Du Mushang told him more than once about Yu Ting's father's entrustment to her and how much she cherished Yu Ting.At that time, he hugged her and promised again and again that he would treat Yuting as his own daughter.Now he said that Yu Ting had nothing to do with him... Yes, Yu Ting had nothing to do with him, but what about those vows back then?
Du Mushang tremblingly said, "Do you think Yu Ting has dragged you down?...You think that..."
Xia Hanshan closed his eyes, his words were heavy, but he felt refreshed in his heart.He looked up at Du Mushang's pale face, sighed, and slowed down his tone, "No, I don't think she dragged me down. Mushang, you know the current situation very well. Not only me, but the hospital's funds are also very tight. , Many doctors are unwilling to continue working. Yu Ting will call from left to right, and even my patient will be driven away by her... Just follow my instructions for now, you are afraid There’s no place to call [-] – there’s a phone booth downstairs. Also, if something goes wrong, it’s the same thing asking neighbors for help.”
Du Mushang stood precariously in the middle of the living room, Xia Hanshan's mouth opened and closed in front of her eyes.Her daughter, whom she has loved for 18 years, has become a burden that Xia Hanshan fears to abandon—"It's the same to ask neighbors for help", what is "the same"?
Yu Ting's heart is not good, she has been so stimulated, maybe one day she will have a sudden attack, Xia Hanshan doesn't take it to heart at all.
It was very late at night, and Du Mushang was sitting by the cradle, and Zailei made a few more noises——Xia Hanshan slept in the guest room, and she didn't get up, which was completely handled by her—she couldn't sleep, and kept thinking about the past bit by bit.Did those happiness really exist?If it existed, why did the former lover become like this?
Many questions, many thoughts lingered in her mind.The night was very quiet, and the Tamsui River was gurgling outside the window, but she was still sleepy.In a daze, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a black figure crept in and stood in front of her.
"Mom," Heiying said, it was Yuting's voice, "I'm sorry. I dragged you down, it's my fault, my fault... Without me, you and Uncle Xia will be very happy..."
Yu Ting stared blankly at her mother. She heard all the quarrel between her mother and Uncle Xia at night. She lay on her bedroom door and listened to every word.Mom said that a woman is only complete when she is with a man.Now my mother has Uncle Xia, and she has become an obstacle between them, she is sorry.She decided to go to Zhizhong, to get her own "completeness".
Yu Ting wanted to kiss her mother's forehead very much, she looked so tired and pitiful.But she didn't dare, she was afraid that her mother would wake up. "I'm sorry..." Yu Ting murmured, turned and walked out.
Du Mushang only found out that Yu Ting had disappeared after Xia Hanshan went out in the morning.At that time, she had already cut off the telephone line at home according to Xia Hanshan's "suggestion", packed up her mood and asked Yu Ting to get up for breakfast.She knocked on Yu Ting's door for a while, but no one answered. After pushing the door and entering, she found that the room was empty.
Xia Hanshan had just stepped into the office when he received a phone call from Du Mushang reporting Yu Ting's disappearance and hurried home. He didn't care to appease his wife, so he asked a few places where Yu Ting might go before he hurried home. Drive out and look for it.He went to Liang's house, went to several places where Yu Ting and Liang Zhizhong had dated, and finally found Yu Ting in a trance at the entrance of the movie theater.
"Uncle Xia..." Yuting looked at him blankly and sadly, "Zhizhong is gone...gone. They didn't tell me where he went...I only have memories...I saw him here Movies. Horror movies, so scary. I was so scared that I got into his arms, and he laughed at me for being timid..."
Yu Ting's body trembled slightly, and her long black hair covered both sides of her cheeks, making her look paler and thinner than usual.Facing Yu Ting like this, Xia Hanshan couldn't utter a single word of accusation. He sighed, coaxed Yu Ting into the car with good words, and took him home.
After this stimulation, Yu Ting's mental illness became more serious, and within a few days she suddenly showed signs of threatened miscarriage.Du Mushang was terrified. It was true that her daughter had a relationship with Liang Zhizhong, but she never thought that the two of them would do such a thing!She went to the Liang family again and strongly demanded that they hand over Liang Zhizhong and take responsibility for Yu Ting, but what she got was an answer that was vague and shirked responsibility.In the end, it was Liang's mother who saw her pitifully, held her back in private, and confessed Liang Zhizhong's whereabouts.
"Don't blame us for being cruel, we also have difficulties." Liang's mother looked sad, "My husband was heartbroken by Zhizhong, and I don't want to mention him in front of others, but... oh... Zhizhong injured someone in Tainan, and now Being imprisoned..." She paused, looked at Du Mushang cautiously, gritted her teeth, and continued, "The family of the person he injured was rich and powerful, and he refused to let it go. The lawyer said that Zhizhong would be imprisoned for the rest of his life... We lost both money and medical expenses, and paid a lot of it. It's really..." Liang's mother paused, and she didn't know where to find a thin The small envelope was stuffed into Du Mushang's hands, "I am also a mother and have a daughter, I understand you. This money was originally prepared for Zhizhong...you take it first and buy some nutrition for the child."
Du Mushang didn't want to just let it go, but before going out, the quarrel caused by Xia Hanshan's avoidance of accompanying her to Liang's house to seek justice flashed in front of her eyes, and she immediately gave up—so what?Han Shan is not even willing to help Yu Ting stand out for her sake.
She took the money in a daze, turned around and went home.Pushing open the door, Yu Ting was sitting in the living room with Zailei in her arms, humming a soft and soothing tune in her mouth.
"Mom, you're back." Yu Ting smiled softly, "Look, this is me and Zhizhong's child, isn't it cute?"
"Yuting!" Du Mushang felt his eyes darken. Although Yuting's condition became worse after she ran away from home last time, at least she could still distinguish the members of the family. How could it be now... Du Mushang almost raised her eyebrows in one breath. She couldn't come up, so she ran over in a panic, stretching out her hands to hug the baby, "This is Zailei! It's your brother! To him..."
"Zhizhong will be back from get off work in a while." Yu Ting avoided her hand and said indifferently, "Mom, can you make snacks for Zhizhong? He loves your snacks the most."
Obviously, a series of blows made Yu Ting completely collapsed, and Du Mushang cried so hard.After Xia Hanshan found out, he frowned and pondered heavily all night, and finally asked Yu Ting to return to a psychiatrist.
After a series of professional treatments, Yu Ting's condition finally improved.However, Xia Hanshan's feelings for Du Mushang dropped to a freezing point, and he began to doubt whether his original choice was a mistake.
Is a woman who can only rely on a man to live but keeps holding him back, is she really a suitable wife?
He leaned against the window, and the freshwater river outside the window was flowing quietly.
— But he has no turning back.
The author has something to say:
She would be surprised if the two of them didn't make any noise.It's just that she didn't expect Du Mushang to confidently ask her to remarry Xia Hanshan.
She had guessed what kind of woman Du Mushang was.Black belly?Money worshiper?Eager to climb high branches and get a stable life? ——In any case, she doesn't believe in Du Mushang's theory of "can't help herself" to whitewash herself, and she's not a little girl who doesn't know the world, so she really doesn't know what consequences her behavior of meddling in other people's families will cause .
A woman of Du Mushang's age must have a sense of right and wrong. The reason why she dared to run to other people's houses crying and crying, "Just a small corner is enough" and do things like a weak person to rob. It is necessary to pry people's corners, but also to get everyone's sympathy, understanding, and seem to be justified.love?Maybe, but how many, only she knows.
The following days were very quiet. On the day they left Taiwan, several friends of Qin Yun and Xia Chulei came to the airport to see them off.
All the children of the Liang family came, except Liang Zhizhong. Liang Zhiwen exchanged pleasantries with everyone, and then dragged Chu Lei to a corner not far away to talk. Print a kiss.
Chu Lei cried, and she kept crying until she got on the plane.Qin Yun took out a handkerchief from her small bag and handed it to her.
Chu Lei was startled, and took it.Qin Yun patted her comfortingly twice.During the more than a month when they were preparing to leave Taiwan, Chu Lei and Liang Zhiwen reconciled. Qin Yun did not express any objection or support for this, but when Liang Zhiwen came to Lin's house as a guest, Qin Yun was not enthusiastic. That's it.
After more than ten hours of flying, the plane finally landed at the airport in country Y. Qin Yun and Xia Chulei got into the taxi with their luggage and went directly to the hotel they had booked.The two ate something casually in the restaurant, took a shower, and fell into the soft big bed one after the other.
When she woke up, it was already dark outside, and a dazzling light shone into Qin Yun's eyes. When she turned her head, Chu Lei was writing a letter under the lamp.
"Chu Lei? What time is it?"
Xia Chulei paused, then wiped away the tears on his face with a tissue beside him, "Twenty past six."
Qin Yun stared at her back in a daze for a while, got up and took out a suit of clothes from the luggage to change on, then rubbed Chu Lei's head lightly, "Are you hungry, little girl? Go down with mother to eat something Is everything okay?"
Qin Yun's English is not good. Unfortunately, the main language of Country Y is English, so she has no choice but to ask Chu Lei to be her personal interpreter.
Chu Lei agreed.
Qin Yun traveled abroad in the name of "relaxing", so naturally it was impossible to sit in the hotel from morning till night.During the day, she took a city map and took Chu Lei Nei to visit every church, museum, and park in the city. Sometimes, when she met someone she liked, she would go to the same place for several days in a row.At night, the two had dinner on the street where the lights were just coming on, chatting and thinking about their own thoughts.
In the first few days, Chu Lei was often in a daze, sometimes giggling inexplicably, but found time to write letters to Liang Zhiwen almost every night.
Qin Yun never asked more questions, but after a long time, Chu Lei couldn't help but mention her boyfriend in front of her.
Zhiwen decided to go to the United States to teach while waiting for her.
The letter asked her to promise to correspond with him.
Zhiwen regards this separation as a test.
……
Qin Yun listened with a smile every time, nodded occasionally, and patted Chu Lei's arm affectionately.
Anyway, with such a long distance in space, the love between two people can only stay on paper. As for how long they can last, it depends on their perseverance.
Qin Yun's impression of Liang Zhiwen still hasn't changed. The few meetings in Lin's house before leaving Taiwan did not eliminate her bad impression of Liang Zhiwen at all.
A person's quality will be inadvertently revealed from the way he speaks and behaves.Although Liang Zhiwen is very polite to her and very enthusiastic towards Chu Lei, he often involuntarily reveals his selfish side in his gestures.It feels like you can see a big "I" written in his heart, others can only be squeezed into a small corner of grievance, and he still wants to tell you: "Look, how important you are to me, I love you so much. They don’t put other people in such an important position.”
Chulei just reconciled with Zhiwen, fell into love again, and couldn't see everything in front of her.Qin Yun is also unwilling to pour cold water at this time, but keeps enriching and adding more content during the journey, so that Chu Lei does not just circle around "love".
They have traveled many places.Qin Yun picked up her hobby of painting again during the trip, and occasionally drew a small portrait of Chu Lei with an exaggerated expression when she was in a daze, which made Chu Lei laugh and jump.
Chu Lei found that her mother had changed, and she was no longer the housewife in her impression who only cared about her daughter's basic necessities of life and her own beauty care.She has her own hobbies, is curious, loves to play, and is very receptive.She is not good at English, but she is willing to work hard to learn, and she learns very quickly.
She didn't expect her mother to stand up from the pain of divorce so quickly. She thought it would be a painful trip.Her mother will need her comfort and persuasion. When they are sad, they will scold the woman who intervened in her family and took her father away.
But no.Occasionally, when she accidentally mentioned her father, her mother would just change the subject slightly, with a calm expression, as if she hadn't taken it to heart.
Once resting in the square, she looked at the young couple opposite and couldn't help feeling: "Love is a woman's life."
"Love is love, and life is life." Qin Yun couldn't help but smile, "Love is icing on the cake, and life is the brocade. Without life, you can't have both." After a pause, he added, "Want to be beautiful For love, you must first own your brocade."
Qin Yun was also young before, she understands Chu Lei, 20s is the age to look forward to love, and it is normal to regard love as important.But it's not normal to take it too seriously.Qin Yun didn't think about correcting her all at once, but kept broadening her horizons during the journey, letting her know that the happiness and fun of life are not limited to love.
******
Qin Yun took Chu Lei to stop and go in various European countries. There are beautiful European buildings and squares everywhere, but Qin Yun still likes France the most.Almost as soon as she set foot on the land of France, she fell in love with the atmosphere here.After visiting several scenic spots, Qin Yun set up a painting booth in a square where painting artists gathered.
At first she just thought it was fun, but she gradually found that this method can exercise the mastery of the characters' expressions and postures, so she devoted herself to it.The material of her paintings is mainly watercolor, which is not special among a group of street artists who show their artistic talents in various forms, but the strong Chinese taste in her painting style makes her works look different.
Some gallery brokers even expressed interest in cooperating with her paintings, but she declined.She has self-knowledge, her paintings are not very good, but they are very special among a group of Western-style painters.What's more, she doesn't plan to live in France for a long time, and there will be all kinds of insurmountable difficulties in real cooperation.
Chu Lei did not object to her mother setting up a street stall to sell paintings, but she was a little shy in the first few days.Fortunately, most of the artists on the square were young people, and Chu Lei herself was playful and funny, so she got acquainted with them soon, and began to chat with them in blunt French mixed with English.When the conversation got excited, a few young people even made gestures and said, sometimes they had to draw a few strokes in order to let the other party better understand what they meant.
It was at this time that Chu Lei fell in love with painting thoroughly.Seeing young people of the same age sketch out vivid flower and bird characters with a few strokes, which is not only expressive but also full of wit, she is very envious.While envious, she also began to try painting.
In the letter to the text, there are more of her paintings.
"Mom, do you think my painting is good?"
On the screen is a corner of the square they often go to.Chu Lei wanted to send this painting in a letter to Zhiwen, so that Zhiwen could understand her current life.
With no fixed place during the trip, she seldom received replies from Liang Zhiwen, and once in a while on the phone, she would be considerate of Liang Zhiwen's modest income, and kept the time within 10 minutes.
She once proposed that she pay the phone bill, but Liang Zhiwen strongly opposed it. For this reason, the two quarreled again. After three days of cold war, Chu Lei apologized softly, and the matter naturally ended.
After Qin Yun found out about this, she said, "Actually, he can choose a gentler way to discuss with you—the understanding between lovers is mutual."
Qin Yun scoffed at Liang Zhiwen's remark that "I don't want to be taken care of by a woman" during the quarrel.This tone sounds very manly, but it is actually just covering up the fragile self-esteem that is stung by the word "money".A well-bred man takes his girlfriend's feelings into consideration even when he rejects her proposal.Getting angry and quarreling at every turn is a manifestation of selfishness, arrogance and inferiority complex.
Qin Yun didn't force her point of view on Chu Lei.Chu Lei is not stupid, she is just blinded by love and cannot see clearly for the time being.She needs space and time to think.
The life of performing on the street not only gave Chu Lei another hobby, but also made her realize that it is not easy to earn money.Different from Qin Yun's nature of playing tickets, those young street performers are really working hard for their dreams.Chu Lei saw it and was very touched.
"They are able to stick to their ideals and take care of their own lives. They don't use their ideals as bargaining chips for others. They are very fulfilling from their hearts to their lives. I envy them and hope that one day they can become that kind of people." In the evening, Chu Lei sat beside Qin Yun's bed with her pillow in her arms, telling her feelings over the past few days, her eyes shining brightly under the lamp.
Qin Yun smiled and rubbed her hair, "The little girl has grown up."
"Mom~ I'm no longer a child!" Chu Lei avoided her hand, laughing and protesting.
Qin Yun shook her head tolerantly and helplessly, picked up the original document and continued reading.
"Mom, you are so beautiful." After a moment of silence, Chu Lei said suddenly.
Qin Yun raised her eyes and smiled gently.
Chu Lei sighed in satisfaction, "Mom."
"Ok?"
"You're not what you used to be."
"What's the difference?" Qin Yun put down the book.
Chu Lei tilted her head mischievously, "You used to be more like a mother, but now you are not only like a mother, but also like a friend."
Qin Yun was taken aback.
"I like you better now." Chu Lei chuckled, kissed her on the cheek, turned around and climbed onto her bed, and turned off the light, "Good night, beautiful mommy."
In the first 20 years of her life, Chu Lei worshiped her father more than her mother.In her eyes, her father, who is successful in his career and caring for his family, is like a mountain that steadily carries and protects her family.Until all this was crushed by an inexplicable woman.
His father's derailment and departure were painful, but what he left behind was not all pain.She still remembers the lonely back of her mother in the living room after she suffered a betrayal and used the tooth card to tell her fortune. But after the divorce, she quickly transformed into a strong, independent, brave, and full of zest for life.
Yes.woman.
Whether it is a mother or a wife, they are all roles given by society. If these are removed, a woman is essentially just a woman.She should have her own fun, her own life, her own pursuit.When she has love, her life is good.If she unfortunately loses her love, her life is still good.
She has the ability to be happy and happy, and this ability is given to herself, and she does not need to ask others for it.
The author has something to say:
☆, Du Mushang
The door was slammed hard with a "bang", and the baby in the cradle was startled by the sudden loud noise, and began to cry softly. Du Mushang hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and frantically hugged him. up the child.
"Mom!—Mom—" As if it wasn't lively enough, Yu Ting cried out in another room, "Mom! Get him back, get him back! Please bring Zhizhong Get it back for me." Before she could finish her sentence, Yuting knocked open the bedroom door and stumbled in, "Zhizhong left, right? He abandoned me again, you have a new husband, but what about mine? Mine What about Zhizhong? You promised me that he would not leave me, just like Uncle Xia would not leave you. You said we would be a family that loves each other. You promised! Let Zhizhong come back, mom. I I swear I will never cling to him again, and I swear I will listen to him. Mom, help me, I can't live without him, get him back for me!"
"Yu Ting, wake up!" Du Mushang held the baby in one hand, grabbed Yu Ting's arm with the other, and said anxiously: "It's not Zhizhong! It's not Zhizhong! It's Xia Hanshan, it's your Uncle Xia. Wake up!" Wake up—"
"Let Uncle Xia go!" Hearing Xia Hanshan's name, Yu Ting's eyes lit up suddenly, she raised the crumpled paper in her hand, and said loudly: "I wrote a letter of guarantee. I put my love , my attachment, everything about me is written here! Mom, let Uncle Xia take this to go, Zhizhong will definitely come back after reading this. Mom! Please!"
Yu Ting frantically stuffed the letter into Du Mushang's hand. Du Mushang was worried that she would hurt the child, so she had to take it.
"Okay, he's going, he's going. He's going to get your Zhizhong back. Be good, go to rest, get some sleep, Zhizhong will be back when you wake up... go, my dear Yuting .”
"You promise!? You promise!?" Yu Ting grabbed her hand nervously and opened her eyes wide.
"I promise, I promise."
"Okay...I believe you...you promised, don't lie to me again." Yu Ting stared at her for a while in doubt, chose to believe her words, and went back to her bedroom step by step.
The door was closed again.Du Mushang buried her face in the baby's swaddling clothes, and cried out with restraint.
How did you get to this point?
She and Han Shan broke through many obstacles and came together, but it was only a year, what made their life full of suspicion, accusation and endless quarrels?
When she snatched Xia Hanshan from Lin Nianping in the first place, Du Mushang was not complacent, especially after she met Lin Nianping himself - elegant, beautiful, noble, with tens of millions of wealth, so what?Han Shan still chose himself.Du Mushang was very satisfied, Han Shan showed her position in his heart with actions, and she was the woman who could make him happy.
Without the obstacles of Lin Nianping and Xia Chulei, Han Shan and her, Yu Ting and Zhizhong became the first happy family of four.Du Mushang quit her job as a matter of course, and took care of Yu Ting while raising her baby at home.However, the economic pressure and the daughter's illness prevented the family's happiness from lasting for a long time.
Du Mushang stopped crying, raised her head from the swaddle, and the baby who was weak due to premature birth was still crying weakly in her arms.She patted the swaddle, trying to reassure the poor child.
Which one is more pitiful, Yuting or the child in her arms? ——Du Mushang thought in a daze.
If Liang Zhizhong's arrival brought Yuting back to life, then his departure drove her into madness.
The relationship between Zhizhong and Yu Ting developed quickly, and they became like one person after a short time of acquaintance, but after the passionate love passed, Liang Zhizhong's selfish side was quickly exposed, and he began to pick on Yu Ting for various reasons.Du Mushang is at home every day, so she naturally knows all this, but she ignores it in a self-deceiving manner. She thinks these "little quarrels" are just a small game for men and women in love to adjust their feelings. She advises Yuting to be more gentle, more considerate, and more Let's take it easy.
"A lot of times a man is just a child in his heart, and needs a woman's tolerance and admiration." This is what Xia Hanshan said, and Du Mushang agreed with it very much, and taught it to his bewildered daughter.
But the situation has not improved, but worsened.Until that day, Liang Zhizhong furiously accused Yu Ting in the living room, saying that her entanglement interfered with his life.Du Mushang ran out of the kitchen to try to persuade her, but was pushed down by Liang Zhizhong, resulting in premature delivery.Liang Zhizhong took advantage of the chaos and ran away, but there was no further news.They found the Liang family, but they couldn't find out Liang Zhizhong's whereabouts.The Liang family showed a willingness to take responsibility, but in the end they only paid the medical expenses and a small amount of compensation, and they were unwilling to pay any more.
Yu Ting's mental illness worsened sharply due to Liang Zhizhong's departure, and Du Mushang's child was also extremely weak due to an unexpected premature birth.
She proposed to file a lawsuit, even if not for herself, to seek justice for her daughter, but Xia Hanshan vetoed it.
"Do you know how much I spent to marry you for divorce? You don't work, Yu Ting doesn't work, plus the newborn child, a family of four depends on me to support, I have to pay off the debt, and then go to court ——How much will it cost for legal fees? Besides, I don't have the energy to deal with the trial." Xia Hanshan looked exhausted, "It's not like their family didn't lose money anyway, let's forget it."
Du Mushang was faintly disappointed. At the beginning, she married Xia Hanshan with all her heart, in order to have someone to rely on, a man who could stand up for her when she was wronged and help her settle everything.
What might be the solution?Han Shan has given up almost everything for her, and she can't blame him for giving up all his property for herself after she got him, which led to financial difficulties now.
The baby in his arms gradually stopped crying. Du Mushang put him in the cradle and rocked him a few times. After the baby fell asleep, he got up and walked out of the room and walked into Yu Ting's bedroom.
Yu Ting closed her eyes and lay quietly on the bed.Du Mushang walked over lightly, caressed her forehead distressedly, and straightened her messy hair scattered beside the pillow.
In fact, Liang Zhizhong wasn't suitable for Yu Ting in the first place, right?Years of autism has made Yu Ting's heart very sensitive and fragile. What she needs is gentle care and patient guidance, but what Liang Zhizhong lacks is exactly these.
What Liang Zhizhong needs is a little pet who worships him, admires him, obeys him unconditionally, and can satisfy his macho vanity, not a "girlfriend" who clings to him all the time.He accused Yu Ting of not giving him freedom and not letting him have his own space.The most serious time—that is, the time before the breakup—he pushed Yu Ting to the mirror, "Look at your appearance! You are so pale, like a female ghost! My friends say you are crazy!" Did you hear that? Crazy! With you, even I will be looked down upon! Who would find a crazy girlfriend?! Cry, cry, cry, cry if you are not satisfied at all! God knows why I abandoned Chu Lei to be with you .At first I thought you were very good, but now I feel that I was deceived! Your mother, your shameless Uncle Xia, they all know that you are abnormal, and let me fall in love with you!"
Liang Zhizhong's angry curse seemed to be still in his ears, piercing his heart.Du Mushang covered her mouth and tried to swallow the sob, but a tear that was too late to save still fell stubbornly on Yuting's pillow.
Xia Hanshan used "love therapy" to divert Yu Ting's attention, but ignored that she was not a normal, mature child, and the blow to her from falling out of love was several times more severe than that of ordinary children...
"Mom?" Yu Ting suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Du Mushang in a daze, "Are you crying?" Yu Ting stared at her face, carefully distinguished for a while, then got up in a panic, and hugged her In her arms, "Don't cry, don't cry. It will be fine when Zhizhong comes back, we are still a happy family. Mom, I will stop making trouble, and you should be good, everything will be fine, it will." As if affirming what she said, she nodded vigorously.
The phrase "Zhizhong will not come back" stuck in Du Mushang's throat like a thorn, and he wanted to say it but couldn't.Self-blame, pain, and remorse weighed heavily on her heart, and she burst into tears uncontrollably—crying for her mentally disturbed daughter, crying for Zailei who was born prematurely, and crying for herself who was at a loss.
How did you get to this point?
******
From Jinwuxifall to the first lighting of the lanterns, and then from the first lighting of the lanterns to the deep night, Du Mushang sat blankly in the bedroom, guarding a small dim light, and looked out the window in a daze.
Outside the window is the Tamsui River.Once, many nights, she and Han Shan enjoyed the night by the river together, saw the lights on the main bridge, watched the moonlight reflected on the river surface, walked with him on the long embankment, and the evening wind blowing by the river.At that time, their reunion was always short-lived, but their happiness was within reach.
The door of the living room opened with a "squeak", followed by the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor.
Du Mushang was still looking out the window.She knew that Han Shan was back, and she could guess what he would do next.He would change out of his leather shoes, go straight to the bathroom to wash up, and then change into pajamas.Given that they had just had an argument this afternoon, he might choose to sleep in the guest room.
Maybe they will have a cold war for a day or two?And then she can't help asking for reconciliation—she's always the one who admits the wrong one first, she's tearing up his family and leaving him in trouble.She loves him and feels guilty too.
Unexpectedly, he directly opened the bedroom door, and the light was turned on. Du Mushang narrowed his eyes uncomfortably, looking at the man at the door.
Xia Hanshan was very serious, "Come out, I have something to tell you."
Du Mushang looked hesitantly at Zailei who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, and after making sure that he would not wake up in a short time, he obediently stood up and followed him out of the bedroom.
"I thought about it. I was a little impatient about what happened in the afternoon." Xia Hanshan stood still in the middle of the living room and whispered - he didn't want to disturb the child, "but Yuting's endless harassment seriously interfered with my work. You must restrain her!"
Here we go again, this topic again.Du Mushang felt chilled for a while, because Zailei was busy crying and making noise in the afternoon, so she didn't keep an eye on Yu Ting, and let her daughter sneak into the living room to make phone calls to Xia Hanshan's office, which annoyed Hanshan.Xia Hanshan left the patient behind and ran back early, quarreling with her as soon as he entered the door, blaming her for allowing the child to sabotage his work.
Du Mushang held his breath in his heart - could it be that Yu Ting's appearance today was caused by her alone? !
She suppressed her anger, "Han Shan! You don't know! Yu Ting was provoked by Zhizhong. She kept calling you because she trusted you. The purpose is to let you get Zhizhong back to her! And I alone One has to take care of two children, one can take care of one, but not the other! Yu Ting is not awake, but it is impossible for me to watch her all the time."
"You're not going to unplug the phone line!"
"She was just hit, not an idiot! I pulled it out!" Du Mushang realized that his voice was too high, paused, and then continued, "I have to take care of the children, do housework, and iron your clothes. I have to cook and keep the house tidy. I'm really tired... Han Shan, what Yu Ting needs is a psychiatrist."
"Psychiatrist? Go and see, my salary this month is enough for you to eat and wear, and after paying off the foreign debts, is it enough to hire a psychiatrist for Yu Ting?" Xia Hanshan was agitated for a while, why are all the bad things?Before, he never worried about having no money, and Nian Ping never bothered him with housework and child discipline.
"But……"
"Don't talk anymore." Xia Hanshan felt very tired, from inside to outside, everything didn't develop as he expected, and even Du Mushang, who was originally connected with each other, became difficult to communicate.She just didn't understand why he worked hard to pay off the debt one day earlier and let the family live a normal life.How could she allow Yu Ting to harass him?
He shook his head, and the wine he drank because he was bored in the afternoon hit him up one after another.
"How about it," he rubbed his temples, "Cut off the phone line first, and I'll go to the phone office to turn off the phone at home in a few days."
"What?" Du Mushang almost jumped up, "What if something happens to Yu Ting and Zailei? Where can I call the ambulance? You have to think about the children!"
"Du Mushang! Please think about it for me too!" Xia Hanshan broke out, "Did you forget who I am here because of? I didn't have to be so embarrassed. If it wasn't for you and Zailei, I would There is no need to repay any foreign debts! I am working hard to make money now for you! As for Yu Ting," he paused, "she is your daughter and has nothing to do with me! I only tolerate her for your sake! Now My work has been messed up by her, and you have an obligation to control her! Even if you can't control it, you have an obligation to find a way to keep her from interfering with me! You can't think of a way, okay! I've thought of it for you. Don't push back and forth Anyway!"
Du Mushang stared at him in disbelief. When he was pursuing her, Du Mushang told him more than once about Yu Ting's father's entrustment to her and how much she cherished Yu Ting.At that time, he hugged her and promised again and again that he would treat Yuting as his own daughter.Now he said that Yu Ting had nothing to do with him... Yes, Yu Ting had nothing to do with him, but what about those vows back then?
Du Mushang tremblingly said, "Do you think Yu Ting has dragged you down?...You think that..."
Xia Hanshan closed his eyes, his words were heavy, but he felt refreshed in his heart.He looked up at Du Mushang's pale face, sighed, and slowed down his tone, "No, I don't think she dragged me down. Mushang, you know the current situation very well. Not only me, but the hospital's funds are also very tight. , Many doctors are unwilling to continue working. Yu Ting will call from left to right, and even my patient will be driven away by her... Just follow my instructions for now, you are afraid There’s no place to call [-] – there’s a phone booth downstairs. Also, if something goes wrong, it’s the same thing asking neighbors for help.”
Du Mushang stood precariously in the middle of the living room, Xia Hanshan's mouth opened and closed in front of her eyes.Her daughter, whom she has loved for 18 years, has become a burden that Xia Hanshan fears to abandon—"It's the same to ask neighbors for help", what is "the same"?
Yu Ting's heart is not good, she has been so stimulated, maybe one day she will have a sudden attack, Xia Hanshan doesn't take it to heart at all.
It was very late at night, and Du Mushang was sitting by the cradle, and Zailei made a few more noises——Xia Hanshan slept in the guest room, and she didn't get up, which was completely handled by her—she couldn't sleep, and kept thinking about the past bit by bit.Did those happiness really exist?If it existed, why did the former lover become like this?
Many questions, many thoughts lingered in her mind.The night was very quiet, and the Tamsui River was gurgling outside the window, but she was still sleepy.In a daze, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a black figure crept in and stood in front of her.
"Mom," Heiying said, it was Yuting's voice, "I'm sorry. I dragged you down, it's my fault, my fault... Without me, you and Uncle Xia will be very happy..."
Yu Ting stared blankly at her mother. She heard all the quarrel between her mother and Uncle Xia at night. She lay on her bedroom door and listened to every word.Mom said that a woman is only complete when she is with a man.Now my mother has Uncle Xia, and she has become an obstacle between them, she is sorry.She decided to go to Zhizhong, to get her own "completeness".
Yu Ting wanted to kiss her mother's forehead very much, she looked so tired and pitiful.But she didn't dare, she was afraid that her mother would wake up. "I'm sorry..." Yu Ting murmured, turned and walked out.
Du Mushang only found out that Yu Ting had disappeared after Xia Hanshan went out in the morning.At that time, she had already cut off the telephone line at home according to Xia Hanshan's "suggestion", packed up her mood and asked Yu Ting to get up for breakfast.She knocked on Yu Ting's door for a while, but no one answered. After pushing the door and entering, she found that the room was empty.
Xia Hanshan had just stepped into the office when he received a phone call from Du Mushang reporting Yu Ting's disappearance and hurried home. He didn't care to appease his wife, so he asked a few places where Yu Ting might go before he hurried home. Drive out and look for it.He went to Liang's house, went to several places where Yu Ting and Liang Zhizhong had dated, and finally found Yu Ting in a trance at the entrance of the movie theater.
"Uncle Xia..." Yuting looked at him blankly and sadly, "Zhizhong is gone...gone. They didn't tell me where he went...I only have memories...I saw him here Movies. Horror movies, so scary. I was so scared that I got into his arms, and he laughed at me for being timid..."
Yu Ting's body trembled slightly, and her long black hair covered both sides of her cheeks, making her look paler and thinner than usual.Facing Yu Ting like this, Xia Hanshan couldn't utter a single word of accusation. He sighed, coaxed Yu Ting into the car with good words, and took him home.
After this stimulation, Yu Ting's mental illness became more serious, and within a few days she suddenly showed signs of threatened miscarriage.Du Mushang was terrified. It was true that her daughter had a relationship with Liang Zhizhong, but she never thought that the two of them would do such a thing!She went to the Liang family again and strongly demanded that they hand over Liang Zhizhong and take responsibility for Yu Ting, but what she got was an answer that was vague and shirked responsibility.In the end, it was Liang's mother who saw her pitifully, held her back in private, and confessed Liang Zhizhong's whereabouts.
"Don't blame us for being cruel, we also have difficulties." Liang's mother looked sad, "My husband was heartbroken by Zhizhong, and I don't want to mention him in front of others, but... oh... Zhizhong injured someone in Tainan, and now Being imprisoned..." She paused, looked at Du Mushang cautiously, gritted her teeth, and continued, "The family of the person he injured was rich and powerful, and he refused to let it go. The lawyer said that Zhizhong would be imprisoned for the rest of his life... We lost both money and medical expenses, and paid a lot of it. It's really..." Liang's mother paused, and she didn't know where to find a thin The small envelope was stuffed into Du Mushang's hands, "I am also a mother and have a daughter, I understand you. This money was originally prepared for Zhizhong...you take it first and buy some nutrition for the child."
