Mu Chen

11. Yang Li

Unexpectedly, on the train back, Yang Li began to vomit and felt unwell.Mu Wen is also a doctor. Although she studied Western medicine, her family studies Chinese medicine. She thought she was motion sick due to crowding, but she didn't expect to find out that she was pregnant when she took a pulse.

The child who arrived a few years late changed the two people's original plans fundamentally.

Yang Li was going to kill her, she was going back to the city, this child was too out of date.

But Mu Wen proposed two solutions at the time: one was to agree to a divorce, but Yang Li could return to the city after the child was weaned if she wanted to give birth to the child, and he would give her all the family's cash so that she could settle down.

The other is not to divorce. Yang Li has been studying for more than two years. She can review while raising a baby. After she is admitted to university, she can divorce or come back after graduation. They will live together. He will take care of the children and pay for her schooling. Will wait for her too.

Yang Li has always been shrewd, just like she agreed to Mu Wen's marriage proposal just after thinking about it back then.

This return to Shanghai broke her last fantasy: she no longer has a home in Shanghai.

She didn't leave Muwen just to go back to Shanghai and find someone to marry, and the good life she wanted to live was not just sticking matchboxes in the attic.

Most importantly, her natal family is unable and impossible to support her to enter university.Ridiculously, this man can.The man she was about to give up on.

This man gave her a home when she was at her worst, and gave her a way out when she betrayed her.This is the character she despises the most in her life.

But from before to now, she has actually been the beneficiary of this abusive character, and she can't admit it.

Yang Li has always thought that the Mu family is a bit strange: In this new society, the Mu family still lives with the old way of thinking, just like the saying that Grandpa Mu often said, "Life is born to suffer."

They don't care about gains and losses, they don't take the initiative, let alone opportunistic, they just live their lives honestly and diligently.So what if you have a good reputation?

There is also that inexplicable warm-heartedness - in the past, they used to deliver medicines for free consultations for people who could not afford to see a doctor or buy medicines, and the family could not afford two acres of land. Of course, this unexpectedly made them a good part.And now her father-in-law can sit in the health station every day and wait for the patients to come to the door, but he turns around all day long to see the doctor, but this also allows the family to continue their good reputation before, and indirectly contributed to Mu Wen's appointment. University.

When it comes to Muwen, he has a character that won't refuse or say no. He will help anyone who opens his mouth, no matter what his conditions are or whether others use him or not.

But she decided to stay, at least for now, she would have this baby.This is also the child she has been looking forward to. If she still wants to leave in the end, at least she will give this man a child, so she won't be too indebted.

Yang Li doesn't think she is arrogant. Although Mu Wen is a college student, she is from Shanghai, and she will become a college student, not to mention she knows that this man loves her.

Perhaps this is her most fundamental reliance. Although she refuses to think about it, she subconsciously understands it.

Yang Li stayed like this, and was admitted to university when Mu Chen was two months old, and when Mu Chen was four months old, she weaned the child and went south to study alone.But the production team was disbanded, and Grandpa Mu returned home to take care of his grandson.

In those few years, the Mu family was very struggling at first, relying on Mu Wen's salary to support four people and a college student. Later, Grandpa Mu returned to his old business and opened a small clinic, and the situation gradually improved.

In Yang Li's four years of college, only the first year came back from the winter vacation, and in the remaining three years she said that she would do an internship outside, and never came back home.Even during the Chinese New Year, I only said that the factory where I practiced would have to work overtime and did not come back. I just sent some food and clothing to the three grandparents at home.

But she hasn't seen the child for a long time, and the clothes for Mu Chen are rarely suitable, and most of them are too small. Maybe in her heart, Mu Chen is still just the small appearance when she left.

In the last year, Yang Li stopped asking Mu Wen to send her money, and only said that the salary she saved during the internship was enough to spend, and asked him to buy more delicious food for the children, basically no letters and things.

After Mu Wen wrote the past two letters and got no reply, he gave up.He didn't look for it, but was ready to wait for Yang Li's graduation notice of divorce.

Grandpa Mu just sighed deeply, feeling sorry for his son's life, and feeling sorry for his grandson who lost his mother since he was a child.But in the end, to everyone's surprise, Yang Li came back after graduation.

At that time, Mu Wen was assigned to the two dormitories where they lived in the factory, and Mu Chen had been in the nursery for nearly two years.Yang Li only knew that Mu Wen moved to the factory area but didn't know the specific building number. She went straight back to her hometown in the village with only a small bag with her.

When Mu Wen got the call and returned home, he didn't see his luggage. He knew that this person came back to go through formalities.

The two had lunch in silence. At the dinner table, Yang Li said that she had contacted the recruiters of xx factory and was basically sure that she would enter the factory. Then Mu Wen asked strangely, "Have you decided to come back? Have you made up your mind?" ? Should I come back and not leave, or should I make a transition here?"

Yang Li was embarrassed all of a sudden, as if all her thoughts had nowhere to hide, she thought that although this man didn't say anything, he actually understood everything.

She glanced at Mu Wen and then at Grandpa Mu, and then said with some difficulty, "I haven't been back in the past few years, because I want to broaden my horizons outside, and now the outside world is changing with each passing day, and there are great changes every day. But that is not my home, and I have always missed Chenchen, and I also want to live a good life with you when I come back this time."

Grandpa Mu put down the bowl and chopsticks and went out when he heard this. He could tell that Yang Li must have had other encounters in recent years.But life is what the son wants to live. He has shown his attitude by leaving. If the son doesn't listen, that is what he deserves. He can't control it and can't replace it.

Mu Wen in the room also put down his chopsticks, "Yang Li, what happened to you in the past few years? What happened to you now that you decided to come back?"

Yang Li, "..."

Mu Wen, "You haven't been home in the past three and a half years. Except for sending things six times and writing a total of 22 letters, you haven't heard anything from them in the last year. Only three pieces of clothes you sent back to Chenchen can be worn. The rest are all young, you don’t know anything about children, except for the ones I sent you, you didn’t ask for a photo of Chenchen once, you said you came back because of your son, would I believe you?”

Yang Li, "..."

Mu Wen, "In the past, I thought you had no chance to choose. You see, your family wants to keep your brother, so you can only go to the countryside. After you go to the countryside, you don't know how to work, so you agree to marry me. You don't know your birthday. I'm not going to pay you for college, so you didn't kill the kid."

Yang Li, "..."

Mu Wen, "I originally wanted you to go to college a year later, at least when Chenchen was older, but you insisted on weaning him after a hundred days. Are you considered a mother?"

Yang Li opened her mouth, but did not speak.

Mu Wen, "Of course I can understand that you want to live a good life. Since I can't give it to you, I can let you go. Although you always think I'm useless, I still have this capacity. I didn't hear from you in the last year. bothering you, isn't it?"

Yang Li, "..."

Mu Wen, "But you said you wanted to come back today, so you have to make it clear to me, so that I can count. Chenchen is used to not having a mother, I can't let you come back today if you have a hard time, and take it easy tomorrow If we leave again, it would be better for Chenchen to treat himself as a child without a mother."

Yang Li, "..."

Mu Wen, "I didn't have a mother since I was a child, but my dad also raised me up, and it didn't make me feel like I was missing anything. Chenchen is already over four years old, and he has grown up. To find myself abandoned, as if there was something wrong with him."

Yang Li's tears fell, "Mu Wen, I know you are a good person, and my father is also a good person. Without you, I don't know what I would be like. I also know that I am sorry for Chenchen, and it's not that I don't miss him. , Although I didn't come back when I was outside, I really didn't feel sorry for you. "

Mu Wen took out the handkerchief, but hesitated to hand it over.

Yang Li took out a tissue from her bag and pressed her eyes. "I met a senior classmate in college. His name was Zhou Mingyang, and his family was from Beijing. After the policy was implemented, his family turned upside down. He was almost 30 years old when he was admitted to college. He opened a foreign trade company, and the internship I'm talking about has always been with him."

Muwen...

Yang Li, "He chased me, but he also has a wife and two daughters. He said that his marriage is also a product of a special period, and he will get divorced sooner or later. But I have never agreed. It's just that his company started. I helped in the past, and I also wanted to learn more, so I didn’t leave that company.”

Mu Wen, "..."

Yang Li, "Later, when I came back from the summer vacation in my junior year, he showed me his divorce certificate. I was a little hesitant, so I didn't contact you. It's better to think about me than to think about me."

Mu Wen, "..."

Yang Li, "But I really have nothing to do with him. I didn't betray you. I definitely wouldn't mess around before going through the formalities with you. Really..."

Yang Li was sobbing and unable to speak, Mu Wen pressed hard on her stuffy chest, and took a few deep breaths before recovering, "This means that you have not betrayed? Yang Li, you are also a person who has studied, Isn't it considered a betrayal if you don't go to bed, can you feel at ease? I think so highly of you."

Yang Li stopped crying in shock, and looked up at Mu Wen in a daze. This was the first time that Mu Wen treated her so sharply.

But she didn't understand, she didn't lie to him at all, she was honest, wasn't she?She hasn't really had a good time with others, has she?

Mu Wen really wanted to beat his breathless chest a few times, but he didn't want Yang Li to see him in such pain, so he just pressed hard a few times.

"Then now? What happened again, did Zhou Mingyang change his mind?"

Yang Li recovered, and lowered her head again, "He didn't, but his family didn't agree with us being together, so he introduced the daughter of another family friend. That woman was also divorced, but now the family is an official and runs a company. Both, and his parents thought it was a better fit for their family."

Mu Wen, "..."

Yang Li, "He... was also a little shaken, saying that he asked me to wait a few more years, saying that the opportunity in these few years is too rare, and we will get married when his company's situation is better. I was in a dilemma. As soon as I said it, I knew he was lying to me."

Mu Wen, "So you're back again?"

Yang Li, "Ah Wen, he has a net worth of several million now, and he will marry for money. You don't have as much money as him, but when you earn more than [-] yuan a month, you will pay for my college education. Wait for me at home with my son."

Mu Wen, "..."

Yang Li, "I admit that I am selfish, but I don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to whitewash the peace. I am a real villain, but at least I am not a hypocrite! So I will tell you everything. If you are still willing to accept me, we will Live a good life, I will definitely make up for you and Chenchen... If you can't, then let's go through the formalities... I will also respect your decision. I will give you the right to choose this time you."

Mu Wen was silent for a long time, then picked up the bowl and finished the meal.Cleared the table, washed the pots and bowls, and warmed the food for Grandpa Mu in the cauldron.

While doing things, he spurned himself in his heart for making the old man sad again, and spurned the reluctance and cowardice in his heart that he had concealed in the name of the child.

But after everything was packed, he still said to Yang Li, "I'm not sure which day we can get to. I'll give you two more months to think about it. You don't have to rush to report. The chief said hello."

Yang Li, "..."

Mu Wen, "During these two months, take good care of your child, see if Chenchen can accept you, and see if you can live such an ordinary life, if you are still not reconciled, let's get together and break up, you run away Your big world, I guard my small home."

Yang Li, "Thank you."

Mu Wen, "That's all you brought back?"

Yang Li, "No, I've stored my luggage at the train station, and I'm afraid you won't let me in."

Mowen...do I thank you for your candor?Isn't this really a contempt for me?

For the past few years, Mu Chen has been sleeping with Mu Wen, and now that Yang Li is back, Mu Wen bought another small bed and put it in the outhouse.

The father and son still slept on the big bed in the back room, and Yang Li slept on the small bed.

Mu Wen said that he would let Yang Li think about it carefully and would not take advantage of others, but in fact it was just that he couldn't bear it.Yang Li also pretended not to cooperate, picking up Muchen every day, doing laundry and cooking.

However, the relationship between Yang Li and Mu Chen has not been repaired to any extent. Mu Chen did not accept the popular toy clothes she bought, and did not accept them until Mu Wen asked.

It is said that a four-year-old child should not be so vigilant, but in fact, although Mu Chen is young, he is very intelligent and sensitive.

In the past few years, following Yang Li's disappearance, colleagues and neighbors gossip a lot, and they don't avoid children, so Mu Chen understands that his mother doesn't want him and his father, but he has always kept it in his heart and never asked his grandfather and father.Although my father always said that my mother just went to a distant place to study in college, and the journey was too far to come back, but he just knew that was not the case.

If it was their mother who made them so proud, why did grandpa just sigh when he mentioned it, and why didn't father ever say anything about her at home?Now that the woman who claimed to be his mother was back, the wound he pretended not to have hurt again.

He can't get close.
