A curtain of dream

Chapter 29 Family Meeting

After Fei Yunfan left, my heart was overwhelmed, all the faces of Ziling and Chu Lian came and went, what they said, and Ziling's Yilian Youmeng.Occasionally, Fei Yunfan's faintly smiling face would emerge from my mind, and I would think of his gentle but caring kiss on my forehead. Let you continue to make mistakes, illusion.

I sat up abruptly and stared out the window blankly until dawn.

Early in the morning, my mother and father came over with Ziling. My mother put breakfast for me and said, "Let's eat first. After a while, our family of four will hold a family meeting about... Chu Lian."

I knew it well, so I opened the lid and ate in silence, and finished eating quickly. I looked up and saw that my father and mother were sitting on the sofa by the window, and Zi Ling was standing at the window, looking at the sky outside the window, without saying a word.I put down my chopsticks, wiped my mouth, and said softly: I'm done eating.

Mom stood up, cleared away the dishes, sat down on my bed, took my hand, and said carefully: "Lvping."You were in Chu Lian's ward that day... Everyone in the family knew about it. We also communicated with your Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu. Dad and Zi Ling were also present today. We just want to know what's going on?

I remained silent and looked at Ziling, who was still facing out the window with her back stiffened.

Dad pondered, looked at me with researching eyes, and said: Luping, tell me, let's listen.

I looked away from Ziling, smiled, and said: I caused Chu Lian to have a car accident, and I will naturally bear the responsibility for this.

Mom said: "What do you want to be responsible for?"Chu Lian's car, even if it was because of you that caused the car accident later, you said you were responsible, so what's the matter?

I nodded and said: What I mean is that I will pay for Chu Lian's rehabilitation and installation of prosthetic limbs, etc., and I also have some savings in my hand. Now I ask my mother to take it out for me and hand it over to them first.As for the future, after I go abroad, I will study while working, and send money back to them regularly.

Mom sighed, relieved, nodded and said: That's fine.However, let our family give it to you, so you can rest assured and recuperate, and go abroad to study hard.

Dad frowned and said: Although the Chu family is indeed far from our family financially, isn't it too impersonal for you to do this?Green Ping?

I said softly: Human touch?But, Dad, that's all I can do to make up for them.

Mom nodded and said, "Yes, that's good, and there's no need for this... What will Lu Ping do again, Lu Ping.Don't worry, I will help you with the money, and you will recuperate obediently. I have asked the doctor, and you are recovering well now. You can go home and recuperate. I have hired special care for you. We can go home in a few days.

I nodded, looked at my father's thoughtful expression, and said, "Dad, don't you agree?"

Dad looked enigmatic, and after a long time, he said: I mean, your legs are inconvenient now, but at least you can visit him often, but what did you say at Chu Lian's place that day?

I smiled and asked: Is it important what was said?And, I'm not going to see him again, Dad, as to why, I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to tell.

My mother stroked my hand and said, "I don't care what you said, that kid Chu Lian is so indifferent, he threw a cup at you, you are right not to see him, his current situation, and a lunatic What's the difference?Every day he is tossing his sister or tossing his parents. I thought he was a strong child, but now it seems that the loss of a leg has turned him into a useless person.

Mother!I interrupted her and said: Don't say that about Chu Lian.

My mother said: Don’t hate to hear it. Although I watched him grow up, it is a fact that he broke his leg. It is also a fact that he was in a car accident and broke your bone.

Dad suddenly said with a sullen face: Shunjuan!You can't just think of our own daughter, Chu Lian's leg is in the current condition, can our family just pay for it?We have been friends with the Chu family for so many years!

Mom asked back: What do you say?Do you want us Luping to marry him?Take care of him for the rest of his life?We Luping have a lot of good times, want to study abroad, want to start a company, you mean, our family is not enough to pay, but we have to pay people, right?Then you go!Are you going to take care of Chu Lian?You don't even look at the child's current virtue, whoever bites whoever he sees!

Dad frowned and said, "I didn't mean that!"

Why don't you mean it?My mother also frowned and said: We were very optimistic about Chu Lian before. After all, it was when there was no car accident before. He was young and talented. He was a good match for our Luping, and we also watched him grow up. Yes, I know the basics, everyone is very relieved, as a mother, I naturally hope that my daughter will marry a good man, but that was before, can it be compared with now?Which parent would want to marry their daughter to a useless person?You still say that is not what you mean?Money can't solve it, so the rest is to marry a daughter?Could it be that I misunderstood?

Zi Ling, who had been facing the window and stood blankly, suddenly turned around, looked at her mother, with tears in her eyes, and shouted angrily: Mom!You are enough!Don't yell at each cripple, Chu Lian is not a cripple, he just broke a leg, he didn't break his brain, he is a little moody now, but that's because he can't accept the fact of a broken leg, if you have a broken leg, Can you be calmer than him?

Mom sneered and said: Oh, are you cursing me for breaking my leg?

Ziling bit her lips angrily, and said in a depressed voice: That's not what I meant.

Dad raised his eyes and said, "Zi Ling, this matter has nothing to do with you!"

dad!Zi Ling shouted: How could it have nothing to do with me!

We all looked at her. She clenched her fists and looked at me with puzzlement in her eyes. She held her breath and said: If Lu Ping is not willing to take care of Chu Lian, then...

so what?I asked.

She looked at me, tears fell, she choked up and said: Luping.why?Are you telling me a lie?Didn't you say you love Chu Lian?Didn't you say you would help me solve the problem?Why do you want to say so coldly to give them money now?why?I thought……

Do you think I will promise to take care of Chu Lian for the rest of my life to make up for my fault in this car accident?I asked quietly.

She nodded.

I sighed and said: Chu Lian doesn't need my body, nor does he need me to take care of him for the rest of his life. What he needs now is psychological treatment and rehabilitation of the amputated part.These all need money, and Chu Bo Bo Chu Aunt and the others must be in a tight financial situation. Although they don't say anything, I must give the money. As for taking care of me, don't you think you need me? Also a disabled person with a broken leg bone to take care of him?Don't you think that would be more of a success than a failure?I can spend money to hire experienced nurses to take care of him. That is much better than the Chu family's taking care of him, and it will be more conducive to Chu Lian's recovery.Am I not just solving a problem right now?

Ziling looked disbelieving and distressed, and said: Is this the solution you said?You open your mouth for money, but keep your mouth shut for money, it was a waste of Chu Lian - he once liked you!

I clenched my fists and looked at her without saying a word.

Mom reprimanded: Zi Ling, what are you talking nonsense about?Where is your sister wrong?

I stretched out my hand, pulled my mother's arm, looked at Zi Ling, and said: You know better than me whether Chu Lian once liked me.It is reasonable for me to do this, Zi Ling, I have tried my best, please don't say anything more.

Dad stood up, put his hands on Zi Ling's shoulders, and said slowly: "Okay, what Lu Ping said is not unreasonable, but even if you want to use money, you can't use it so straightforwardly. It's very hurtful. It's better to help them pay some expenses, which is more gentle.You two should stop arguing about this matter, let me handle it!

I nodded.

Zi Ling stared at me, her face was pale, with tears streaming down her face.

I look back at her.

She rushed out suddenly.

Mom shouted: Ziling, Ziling, where are you going?

She didn't stop, and disappeared at the door of the ward.

The mother complained: What's the matter with this child?It's been getting worse and worse lately!

I didn't speak, and in a blink of an eye, I met Dad's eyes. His eyes were full of deep thought and understanding. No matter what he knew, I could only smile wryly. What else could I do?
