(18) Is there still a need for effort?
Because it would cost at least about two thousand to repair the mobile phone, Ling Feng couldn't make this decision by himself, so he had to go back and discuss with his parents whether to repair it or replace it with a new one, so after they went back, the two of them didn't continue to discuss this issue.
After getting off work, Ling Feng originally planned to go to the movies with Su Mu, but Su Mu felt that going home so late during this time would be a crime against the wind, so she rejected Ling Feng's idea. Ling Feng felt that Su Mu's worries were not unfounded, so he had no choice but to send Su Mu home.
Su Mu, who was walking in the corridor, still had a fluke mentality, thinking that it was so late, and her family should have fallen asleep a long time ago, so that they should be able to avoid meeting to discuss what happened yesterday. As a result, as soon as she opened the door, she found that the house was literally brightly lit, and everyone was sitting on the sofa, waiting for her to come back.
When Su Mu saw such a scene, he lowered his head like a frosted eggplant, and his heart really came and he could never hide from it. In desperation, she sighed in resignation, put her bag on the ground, and then walked over and sat down on the small chair they had prepared for her.
This scene was too depressing, Su Mu's mind suddenly remembered the scene of the previous eight-party trial, she seemed to understand why the ancient court always had to let the prisoner kneel under the court, because according to her current trend, at that time, it was estimated that no matter how powerful the criminal was, when he was condescendingly watched by the eight court officials in the court, he would definitely be frightened to reveal the crime and the case, which was really conducive to closing the case.
If the person on the other side knows that she is thinking about this now, it is estimated that she will have to be angry with her. She herself was a little weak-hearted, so she cleared her throat and said cautiously:
"Why didn't you sleep so late today?"
"There's such a big thing going on in this house, who can sleep?"
Su Mu's mother glanced at her and replied to her angrily. Su Mu quietly stuck out his tongue after hearing this, and then secretly looked at his grandfather sitting next to him, trying to ask him for help.
The people who love Su Mu the most in the family belong to Su Mu's grandmother and grandfather, and feeling Su Mu's gaze, her grandmother and grandfather shook their heads together this time, and then their eyes fell on Su Mu's mother.
Seeing such a scene, Su Mu couldn't help but wail in his heart.
After reading it this time, it was really not saved.
"Why, don't you want to know what we said after our two families met last night?"
Su Mu's small movements were all seen by her mother, and her mother also knew very well that her grandmother and grandfather would definitely not help this time, so after Su Mu had eaten the closed door, her mother snorted coldly, and said this to Su Mu with a hint of sarcasm.
To be honest, Su Mu really wanted to know what was going on between them. After all, the ones she thought of before were her own guesses, and there was no basis for guessing, so these guesses could not be used as a basis for future actions. If you want to solve the problem, it's better to know what they talked about yesterday. She had asked Ling Feng the same question before, but Ling Feng didn't say a word about it, and always changed the subject, if her mother could tell her about it, it would really be great.
But Su Mu knew her mother's character very well, and if she showed that she cared about this matter very much now, it might only get a scolding in exchange for an answer, so she could only pretend not to know at all, silence her nose, and then shake her head at her mother.
"Hmph, what, at this time, you are self-aware, you know that what you say is not good, so you don't want to listen to it? Then what did you think when you were with others? Do you know how ugly the words were yesterday? Where do you want me and your second aunt to put our faces? Mom felt ashamed when she heard what she said. ”
Su Mu had thought of a thousand possibilities, but she hadn't thought that Ling Feng's mother would say something that would make her mother feel like this. She could understand that they were blaming her for everything, but she couldn't accept what her mother said.
She and Ling Feng are in a normal relationship, voluntary and equal, and neither party should be blamed.
Su Mu's face turned cold in that instant, she raised her head, looked at her mother seriously, and said to her mother in a somewhat cold tone:
"What the hell did they say last night?"
"Say that you are so old, it's time to find someone seriously, don't hold on to other people's sons, other people's sons are still young, but they still have to study, and then they have to study abroad. When the time comes, when the son grows up and comes back from studying abroad, he will definitely meet more and better girls. At that time, people were just the right age, so they could still want you? Then you have been delayed for so long in vain, you are in your thirties, how can you get married? People also said, you are such an adult, you must be able to know, then you still don't let go, is it trying to be someone's son or something? You say, you are with others, is your purpose not simple?"
When repeating this passage again, Su Mu's mother's tone was very unfriendly, not to mention her complexion, and she was so angry that her face was flushed. Su Mu gritted his teeth, patiently listened to every word into his ears, and then said:
"Also, you guys talked for so long yesterday, so you must not have said that, right?"
"Of course, there is also the accusation between the lines that I and your father did not educate you well and let you abduct other people's sons. She can't control her son anymore, so let's discipline you well. Let's watch over you and don't see his son again. ”
If it weren't for the fact that it was her parents sitting opposite, Su Mu would have to lift the table in front of her at this moment. She really didn't expect that Ling Feng's mother would have such an impression of herself. Even if she didn't know how the two of them got along when they were together, then she shouldn't have been subjected to such malicious speculation, right?
While she was angry, she also understood why Ling Feng was reluctant to talk to her about it.
Because he didn't dare to say it, and he was embarrassed to say it.
The atmosphere fell into silence, Su Mu's mother looked at her angrily, and she clenched her fists and sat there motionless, her head bowed, and she didn't say a word. Seeing that the stalemate was getting longer and longer, Su Mu's grandfather stood up first, ready to play a round.
"Oh, it's not our child's fault that this matter, don't be angry with our own child. ”
"Dad, what do you think I can do? His children are children, why aren't my children children? People can't manage their own sons well, I don't think it's wrong, I think I treat my girl very well, why is it my fault? What kind of thing is this? I didn't speak at the time, but I was already giving them face, so can't I talk about it in my own house? I can't say anything, then how wronged I am. ”
As soon as Su Mu's mother heard Su Mu's grandfather say this, her anger "rubbed" on the ground again, and even her voice became much louder. Su Mu knew that her mother had deliberately told her, and she also knew that her mother was indeed wronged because of her, so she listened silently on the side and didn't speak again. However, Su Mu's second aunt was afraid that her family would quarrel again because of outsiders, so she quickly pressed her grandfather back, and then said to Su Mu while giving her mother a good breath:
"I see that the kid's attitude towards you is also very good, our family is not so conservative, of course I don't object to you two being together, but his mother and father definitely don't agree, if you two can solve this problem, then our family must have nothing to say." However, if you two can't solve it, then our attitude will definitely not be much better. His mother obviously doesn't like you now, and even in his mother's heart, she is a little demeaning to you, even if you marry in the future and don't solve this problem, then you will definitely be wronged. Don't say that he can comfort you and help you out, it's useless to say anything, he may not be able to help when the time comes. After all, it's someone's own mother, they are a family, you are giving birth to children, and you are also an outsider. You said that if you are bullied, then can we feel better? If you marry you off, it is not for you to suffer hardships, what's the matter, if you marry into their family, it is equivalent to us asking you to participate in a metamorphosis scheme? Think about it yourself, who in the family does not spoil you, is used to you, has no money in the family, and does not miss you? You have to think clearly and figure it out yourself. You are the one who represents our whole family, and if you are wronged, it is equivalent to making everyone in the family wronged, and you have to weigh it yourself, and it is useless for us to say more. What kind of water is spilled by the daughter who got married, so what's the matter, you got married, and you still broke off from us? How can we still watch you being wronged?"
The only one in the family who can say these words to Su Mu at length is her second aunt, although Su Mu rarely listened to these opinions before, but this does not mean that Su Mu feels that what she said is wrong, and more importantly, Su Mu feels that what she said this time is not wrong at all, not only that, but she also feels that she should really think about this issue seriously. So Su Mu nodded at her and said to her in a very solemn tone:
"I know, I'll definitely think about it. ”
After saying this, Su Mu didn't give them a chance to continue, got up and went back to his room, closing the door. After that, she sat on the bed and thought for a long time, and only after she had made up her mind did she turn on her phone.
At this time, Ling Feng had already sent her a lot of messages, and there were many phone calls interspersed in between. However, Su Mu didn't read those contents, and directly clicked on the interface and made a call to Ling Feng.
As soon as the phone was connected, Ling Feng interrupted and asked her why she didn't answer the phone with a very bad attitude. But as soon as he was halfway through his words, he was Su Mu.
"I don't want to talk about this, I have a question for you. ”
"Do you have any questions to ask? Can you just not answer my phone if you have a question?"
"I don't want to argue with you about this, I just ask you, what do I want from you since we both met?"
Su Mu's voice was very soft, but this situation was never a good tone for her. Ling Feng knew her so well that every time she heard his voice, for whatever reason, he couldn't help but want to quarrel with her. He didn't know why Su Mu used such a tone to him today, but he really didn't want to listen to it, and the previous problem had not been solved, so he replied to him with a very bad attitude as before:
"You don't have a picture. ”
"Ever since the two of us were together, I haven't asked you to buy me a single gift. When I go out to play, whether it's a taxi, a meal, or something else, I pay for everything I can do. I remember I told you about it, I said that the two of us falling in love are a matter of the two of us, since it is a matter of the two of us, then the money spent should be the two of us, and I earn all the money, but your money is given by your parents, so I don't want to spend the money your parents give you, is that right?"
"Yes, you're right. ”
Ling Feng was not stupid, when Su Mu first started to say such things, he had already guessed that Su Mu should have heard something. By the time she had finished talking to all of them, he had calmed down. He wanted to stop Su Mu from continuing, but Su Mu immediately picked up after he finished answering:
"At the beginning, when the two of us were together, I also said that you will always meet something more suitable for you, and you will like it more, as long as you meet, you tell me, I will never stop you. You can be with whomever you want, as long as you tell me in advance. I'm not wrong about that, am I?"
"Yes, you're wrong. ”
"So I didn't pester you, nor did I try anything for you. I'm with you because I like you and I want to pursue the happiness I want. ”
"I know, I know, I know, can you stop talking?"
When Ling Feng heard this, the anger that he had just suppressed came up again, and it was even more serious than before, he didn't like Su Mu talking to him about these issues very much, because every time Su Mu said something like this, it would make him feel that he had no status at all in Su Mu's heart. He would feel that Su Mu just took care of him like a child, not like him, treating him as his boyfriend. Although he is young, this does not mean that he is incapable of taking care of Su Mu. But Su Mu never believed that he could do it, so what was the point of him speaking in this way?
All his efforts can't get a result, so why does he have to work hard?
