look forward to

====

After accompanying Lin Qing and his mother downstairs, neither of them stayed in the hospital. .

Qin Mufeng is worthy of being a sports student. It took less than three days for his cold to completely heal.

Because of Jin Mingxi's appearance, Jin Chu has been particularly sensitive recently, and even shelved the matter of going to Y University with Qin Mufeng. Zhao Junyang was still busy at the company at noon. After lunch, Cheng Ya was cleaning up in the kitchen. Jin Chu didn't go back to the room directly like before. Instead, she swayed back and forth beside Cheng Ya.

"Xiao Chu, do you have something to tell me?" Cheng Ya could only put down what she was doing and asked him.

Jin Chu stopped by the door, grabbed the door and knocked it unconsciously, "Mom, did Jin Mingxi come to look for you?"

Cheng Ya's complexion changed, and she walked up to Jin Chu in two or three steps, and Jin Chu's hand was grabbed by her, "Why did you remember to ask him, did he look for you?"

Jin Chu hurriedly comforted her, "We went out the day before yesterday, and Mu Feng had a fever. We happened to meet him in the city hospital, but he didn't do anything to me, so don't worry."

Cheng Ya looked sad, "Xiao Chu, don't blame mom, I have always regretted leaving you behind. I'm sorry Xiao Chu, I'm really sorry."

As Cheng Ya spoke, she began to cry. She was really afraid of being beaten back then. If she didn't run away, she felt that she might be beaten to death one day. After several years, she was still trapped in Jin Mingxi's shadow and couldn't get out until Now, she can't face Jin Mingxi easily.

Jin Chu comforted her, "Mom, it's okay. It's all over. I didn't blame you. You see, now you have given me such a good life, and you are living a very good life. I am very happy, really."

Jin Chu almost forgot Cheng Ya's weak cry. When he was a child, he was protected by Cheng Ya in her arms, but now Cheng Ya only reached Jin Chu's chin. He suddenly felt that he should protect Cheng Ya himself. Thoughts, even though she has left herself behind for many years, this woman seems to have done nothing wrong, who is not pitiful.

Jin Chu stretched out his hand to hold Cheng Ya in his arms, and patted her on the back, "Mom, let him pass the past, we are all fine now, nothing is more important than the present."

Cheng Ya didn't expect that after so many years, her son would get close to him at such a time. He leaned on Jin Chu and cried even harder, feeling guilty, guilty, and happy.

Zhao Zhichuan came downstairs and saw this scene. His always gentle and generous mother was crying into tears in Jin Chu's arms. Jin Chu also had a gentle face. This tender scene made him uncomfortable. Are you on site?

He deliberately made some noise, Cheng Ya looked at her two sons with some embarrassment, untied her apron and made a calm expression, "Well, I'm going back to the room, you two brothers clean up."

Jin Chu pinched Cheng Ya's untied apron, looked at Zhao Zhichuan, "Who are you?"

"I'm going out to find a friend too. Do you think you're the only one who can fool around outside every day?"

Jin Chu raised his eyebrows, "Go."

Zhao Zhichuan let out a "hum" and went straight out.

Jin Chu cleaned up the kitchen before knocking on Cheng Ya's door.

"Come in." Cheng Ya's voice was as usual.

Jin Chu put the glass of water in his hand on the table, "Drink some water."

Cheng Ya picked up the water and took a sip, "Xiao Chu, you have really grown up."

Jin Chu said, "Well, yes."

Cheng Ya was about to suffer again. Jin Chu was less than three years old when she left, and he was already 15 years old when she brought him back to her side. He had missed the most important 12 years in Jin Chu's life.

"Jin Mingxi probably knew the address here from your aunt, so I came here to look for you before. He asked you to go back with him, but I refused. I really don't want you to jump into the fire pit again, but he never came again after that. , I saw him that time." Cheng Ya said.

Jin Chu said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely not go back with him, besides, I am grown up now, he can't do anything to me, Jin Mingxi said something strange that day, I was worried that he would do something to you again. Something bad, so if you want to go out by yourself recently, let Uncle Zhao accompany you or ask the driver to drive you, don't drive out alone."

Cheng Ya nodded and said yes.

Jin Chu thought for a while and then asked, "Mom, do you know someone named Lin Qing?"

Cheng Ya was stunned for a moment, Lin Qing?How did Jin Chu know about Lin Qing? She said, "Well, when we were in Xiangshui County, Lin Qing was our neighbor, but he was no longer there when you were born. I heard that he went out to work, and he hasn't come back for several years anyway. I haven't seen him since, what's the matter? Xiao Chu, do you know him?"

Jin Chu told everything about Lin Qing, and also told Cheng Ya what he saw yesterday.

"What I heard from the old lady is that Jin Mingxi caused Lin Qing to become what he is now."

Cheng Ya fell into deep thought. At that time, she, Jin Mingxi, and Lin Qing were all young people in the village who were about the same age. There were few people in the village, so everyone played well. Cheng Ya was good-looking, and there were boys of the same age in the village. , The family wanted to marry the little girl home as a daughter-in-law.

At that time, the conditions were difficult. Many children dropped out of school before finishing junior high school and stayed at home. Cheng Ya and the others also helped the family herd cattle and land. Apart from these, it was a relatively big matter to marry a wife.

Jin Mingxi is handsome and tall, and is liked by many girls in the village and even in the nearby villages, while Lin Qing is a bit introverted, with a gentle appearance, and people always say that this child will be sorry for his temperament if he doesn't go to college. Lin Qing just smiled, every time someone said Lin Qing, Jin Mingxi would beat them up and run away with their heads in their arms.

Cheng Ya's relationship with them was also good, she followed them like a little sister and was taken care of.

Later, Lin Qing's family asked a matchmaker to marry Cheng Ya. It was originally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Everyone knew that the matter would be done soon, but Jin Mingxi reacted very strongly, saying that he would not let Cheng Ya marry Lin Qing. .

This matter got out of hand before it was mentioned, and after a while, Jin Mingxi's family came to talk about a matchmaker, and this time it went smoothly, and the matter was settled quickly.

Jin Mingxi had no mother to look for, only a father. Not long after he married Cheng Ya, his father also died of illness, and he became very irritable.

At first, he just lost his temper, but later he would swear at others. Cheng Ya got used to his violent temper, and it was fine. She lived her life in peace.

Later, when I heard that Lin Qing had gone out to work, Jin Mingxi's temper became more and more irritable. He began to drink and gamble with a group of dubious people every day, and even hit Cheng Ya when he was in a bad mood.

Cheng Ya realized that Jin Mingxi had really changed, but she had already had a child. During her pregnancy, Jin Mingxi restrained herself a little. Cheng Ya originally thought that she could barely maintain her life like this. From now on they are a new little family.

But after giving birth, Jin Mingxi started to get worse, and she didn't want to think about it in the days to come.

Cheng Ya didn't ask any more questions, she calmed down and said to Jin Chu, "Then Xiao Chu, go about your business, I will pay attention."

After Jin Chu left, Cheng Ya went to the cloakroom to change a set of clothes, tidied herself up, took the car keys and went out, bought some fruit on the way, and then went to the city hospital.

The inpatient building of the psychiatric department was still as deserted as ever. Cheng Ya said that she was here to see Lin Qing, and she was told about the ward soon. She stood outside the door and lingered for a while. Inside, Lin Qing was lying on the bed, with the old lady beside her. keep watch.

Cheng Ya gently knocked on the door twice, and the old man said, "Come in."

Cheng Ya opened the door and went in. The old lady looked at this well-dressed young woman with extraordinary behavior and was a little puzzled, "You are?"

After putting the fruit basket on the table beside her, Cheng Ya stood still next to the old lady, "Auntie, it's me, Xiaoya."

The old lady opened her cloudy eyes and took a closer look. It was Cheng Ya. She was a little excited, "It's Xiaoya, sit down." She went to take out a plastic stool under another bed.

Cheng Ya sat down, "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you so presumptuously, how is Brother Qing?"

The old lady wiped the corner of her eyes, "Fortunately, I haven't seen you for many years, you seem to be doing well, Xiaoya, how do you know Xiaoqing is here?"

Cheng Ya looked at Lin Qing who was lying on the bed, and seemed to be asleep. The old man said, "I just took a sedative, and it may take a while for him to wake up."

Cheng Ya sighed slightly, "Brother Qing..."

The old lady didn't speak for a while, so Cheng Ya could only say, "Auntie, don't be surprised, I know Brother Qing is here from my son."

"Your son?" The old lady thought for a moment, then asked again, "Is it Xiao Chu?"

Cheng Ya nodded.

The old lady was a little helpless, "Xiao Chu is a good boy, it's okay, it's nothing if you come to see him. We haven't seen him for so many years, but you still remember to see Xiao Qing. We are very grateful for that."

Cheng Ya couldn't speak, Lin Qing's pale and sickly appearance made it impossible for her to ask about Jin Mingxi.

Both of them were silent for a while. After a while, Lin woke up. He looked weakly at the two women in front of the hospital bed, and his eyes stopped on Cheng Ya's face, "Is it Xiaoya?"

When Cheng Ya heard his voice, she stood up quickly, "Brother Qing, you're awake, yes, I am."

"You really haven't changed at all." Lin Qing smiled.

He turned to the old lady again and said, "Mom, I'm a little hungry, please go and help me pack a bowl of porridge and come back."

The old lady said yes repeatedly, and politely asked Cheng Ya to help look after Lin Qing.

"Xiaoya, sit down." Lin Qing said.

Cheng Ya had no choice but to sit down. Lin Qing looked at the ceiling and asked her, "Xiaoya, are you here to ask about Jin Mingxi?"

Cheng Ya gave a soft "hmm".

Lin Qing turned to look at her. Seeing that he was struggling a bit, Cheng Ya got up and turned the bed so that Lin Qing could sit on it.

"Did you come to ask me because you know all about it?"

Cheng Ya nodded, then shook her head again, "Brother Qing, did he cause your leg?"

Lin Qing smiled wryly, "That's right."

Cheng Ya didn't know how to comfort her for a while, "Brother Qing, let me peel an apple for you."

Lin Qing waved his hand, "No need."

Cheng Ya had no choice but to sit and look at him. Lin Qing glanced at her, and then turned her eyes to the front. He sighed, "Xiaoya, do you want to hear about my affairs? It's been many years, and I haven't had a chance to say, you Look, I'm getting sick."

Cheng Ya: "Yes."

"Jin Chu is the child of you and Jin Mingxi, right? I recognized him at a glance that day. He looks very similar to you."

Cheng Ya listened quietly.

"Speaking of which, my mother used to find a matchmaker, and I almost married you. I wonder if if I married you, I would have a child like Jin Chu. That child is very sensible, and you are very lucky."

Cheng Ya replied, "Yes, that child Xiao Chu is precocious and careful."

Lin Qing said, "Xiaoya, do you hate Jin Mingxi? He used to treat you and your child that way."

Cheng Ya was a little surprised, "How does Brother Qing know?" She remembered that Lin Qing went out to work shortly after they got married.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoya, it's all because of me. I'm really sorry."

Cheng Ya was confused when she heard it, "Brother Qing, don't say that, marrying Jin Mingxi is my own wish, and I don't blame you."

There was a layer of mist in Lin Qing's eyes, and he stared fixedly at the invisible air in front of him. He didn't want to tell Cheng Ya about this, but seeing Cheng Ya living so well in front of him, it seemed like a little His troubles were gone, and he was suddenly a little unwilling.

"Jin Mingxi and I were very close in the first place. Xiaoya, you know that, but you don't know. We have been in love for a long time. Before my mother told you about matchmaking, that's why Jin Mingxi went crazy and forbade me to marry you. We I never thought that we could really be together for a long time, so I just wanted to procrastinate, and just find someone to marry when I can't procrastinate." Lin Qing was lost in memory, and did not see Cheng Ya's wide-eyed expression of disbelief.

"But Xiaoya, my mother found out. She knew about Jin Mingxi and me. She forced me to get married. If I didn't want to, she threatened me to tell Jin Mingxi's father. You know that Jin Mingxi's father would have been ill at that time. We had no choice but to compromise, I begged Jin Mingxi to get close to you, and you got married later. I knew that Jin Mingxi and I would never be able to again, so I went to work outside."

"I dare not come back, I was afraid to see you, until a few years later, Jin Mingxi found me suddenly, I dare not ask how you are? How are you? No one cares about us outside, we can be together normally again, little Ya, in fact, I was very happy during that time, because those things were things we never dared to think about, and even though others had sharp eyes, we were very comfortable."

Cheng Ya couldn't bear to listen any longer. She pinched the bag with trembling hands, her knuckles were already white, but she couldn't open her mouth, as if something had strangled her throat, and she couldn't even breathe.

Lin Qing continued, "Later, my mother found out from somewhere that Jin Mingxi came to find me. She came out of her hometown to find us alone. She felt that we were on the wrong path, but Xiaoya, tell me, Are we really wrong? Are we really that unforgivable? I also know what Jin Mingxi did to you in those years, Xiaoya, I am really sorry. "

He finally turned his head to look at the pale Cheng Ya, and pulled out an ugly smile, "You hate me now too, but Xiao Ya, we will be punished soon, about ten years ago, it's been a long time , not long after my mother came up to find us, we were forced to separate again. I contracted a small job at the construction site, and I didn’t talk much on weekdays. After a long time, no one liked it. What happened to me and Jin Mingxi Some gossip, Jin Mingxi happened to be away that day, so a few people came to provoke, you know, I am not very good at such occasions, so naturally I can't beat or scold, Jin Mingxi happened to bump into him when he came back from work, and they started fighting, he He really has a bad temper since he was a child, and he is really not a good person." As he spoke, Lin Qing showed a smile, which was very real.

"Later he injured someone, probably to the same extent as me. Anyway, he was disabled. I was not made into this by Jin Mingxi. The rabbit was anxious to bite someone. I was a rabbit at first. I became a rabbit, and that rabbit couldn’t bite people, so it had to bite me. In the end, both sides were hurt. I was injured, and I lost feeling in my legs. It became like this. That person seemed to have amputated. Jin Mingxi was later charged In court, my mother wished that he would stay away from me and blame him for my injury. Jin Mingxi was sentenced to ten years in prison."

"Look at Xiaoya, have we all been punished?" Lin Qing looked at her and said nothing, as if she was waiting for Cheng Ya to speak.

In the end, Cheng Ya didn't say anything, only leaving a sentence, "Brother Qing, take good care of yourself, and by the way, tell Jin Mingxi that Xiao Chu is my son, and he is not worthy to be his father."

Lin Qing looked at her thin and dejected back, and the original reluctance had long been replaced by relief. After so many years, the three of them were finally relieved.
