Chapter 224: What the Last Time
Midsummer was speechless.
If there was another way to think of it, he would not have left his work and came to this rural town ten times before and after, begging them for help, and he still ran into a wall again and again.
He smiled faintly, "Uncle Chen, if there was any other way, I wouldn't have come to your house so many times to disturb you." ”
The woman's eyes were red and her voice was hoarse. "I know your struggles. But ,......"
Midsummer is already thinking about it. He has wronged himself ten times, and in their hearts he is already an image of a reipig.
He knew that they would not be moved, and that coming to this last trip was just to give a bad message to his conscience, so that he would not live in the shadow of this self-blame for the rest of his life.
People have made it very clear, and that is also their right.
Although they are also the daughters of their family, they have all given away, and at present, they have no obligation to help the daughter.
If they want to help, it's their favor.
In short, in a word, to help or not to help, that is their right. No one else can interfere with it.
Midsummer smiled strongly, and smiled easily, "It's okay. Auntie, I can understand your difficulties. It's not easy for you to rely on your daughter to support your family. ”
The man looked embarrassed, as if he had sinned. "I'm really sorry!...... We can't help it. ”
Midsummer waved his hand, "It's okay." I don't blame you. ”
However, he still held on to the last trace of thought, "Uncle Chen, can you ask for your daughter's contact information?"
Then, he patted his chest again as a sign of reassurance. "I'm not going to ask your daughter for help. I just want her to know that there's a sister in this world......"
"No, it really doesn't have to. The woman quickly interrupted Midsummer's words.
Midsummer understands that it is pointless to continue. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to go back and accompany Yufei for more banquets, and come to be more realistic.
He stood up, "Auntie, Uncle Chen, then I won't bother you." ”
After saying that, he glanced at the woman by the way, seeing that she had a sad expression, he didn't want to stop too much, and strode out the door.
After a while, the woman and the man came back to their senses.
Thinking that he was gone, he hurriedly chased out the door, but there was no one in the middle of summer.
The woman had to complain, "It's a big problem this time!"
The man asked, "What's the trouble?"
The woman pouted, "He said that today is the last time he will come, alas, what about his gifts?"
The man snorted, not taking Midsummer's words seriously. "What's the last time? People are going to scare you by saying it, to see if it can touch your heart. ”
The man pointed to the woman's nose again, "I say, you women just don't like to use your brains, and others will fool you with a casual word." ”
The woman didn't agree with the man. "I think he's telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you'll see!"
Midsummer didn't look back, and walked straight to the intersection.
The woman who happened to meet the neighbor of the Chen family came back from outside.
The neighbor's woman's eyes were sharp, and she recognized at a glance that the height of summer was coming.
She greeted enthusiastically: "Yo, here you are again." ”
Midsummer raised her eyes slightly, not in the mood to pay attention to her, just nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
The neighbor's woman was in high spirits. "Look, I still thought you were the son-in-law of the Chen family. It turned out that I heard their daughter say that you want to buy their house. ”
Midsummer was speechless.
The neighbor's woman's bones kept rolling, and her eyes looked Midsummer up and down again.
"I just said, you rich people are different. ”
Midsummer didn't have the leisure to talk nonsense with her, and wanted to keep going.
Who would have thought that the neighbor's woman strode in front of him and blocked his way.
"Look at the expensive gifts you bring to the Chen family every time, it's really an eye-opener for me!"
The neighbor's woman looked envious. "Hey, by the way, I don't understand, you rich people, why do you fall in love with the shabby houses in this town?"
Midsummer smiled politely, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." ”
With that, he squeezed past the neighbor's woman and strode forward.
When he was far away, the neighbor's woman remembered that there was still a big task to be done.
So, she turned around and chased after her, "Hey, you wait for me, I have something to tell you." ”
The neighbor's woman is old, and she can't compare to the long legs of the middle of summer.
Seeing that the middle summer was getting farther and farther, the neighbor's woman was so tired and out of breath that she shouted as she ran: "Hey, young man, wait, I have something important to tell you yet." ”
Midsummer could only vaguely hear her shouting from behind, and she couldn't hear what she was talking about. Thinking that she was just a strange neighbor of the Chen family, there was no need to deal with her.
The neighbor's woman was very honest, she was unwilling, and she had to help the Chen family's daughter complete that task.
She chased after her, shouting as she chased: "Hey, young man, don't run! Hey, listen to me! Hey, young man, your phone number ......."
Midsummer walked to the car, pulled the door and sat down. He saw the neighbor's woman catching up, and felt that there was really no need to talk about his own private affairs with her, an irrelevant woman.
He started the car and prepared to drive on.
The neighbor's woman saw that he was about to run away, and the anxiety in her heart was really indescribable.
"Hey, guy who bought the house, you wait for me to say something! Hey, guy who bought the house, leave your phone number!"
Midsummer only heard the phone number, glanced at her from a distance, and drove away.
The neighbor's woman was still shouting, "Hey, phone number." Hey, your number ......"
She watched the midsummer car run away without a trace. She was annoyed.
She patted her head and kept blaming herself, "Look, this person is old, it's really useless." Alas, this memory is also too bad. If I had remembered it earlier, I wouldn't have left his number. ”
After blaming herself, she complained that midsummer was coming. "This rich man really doesn't like us poor people. I'm still trying to help you, but you're too ignorant of lifting. You deserve it! You've made so many trips in vain. If people don't sell it, they just don't sell it. What can you do if you have money!"
……
Walking on the way home, Midsummer's heart was full of loss.
He tried to restrain himself from thinking too much. When he returned to the city later, he really couldn't go to the hospital to face Yan Yufei.
When he arrived in the city, he drove the car to the street in front of the hospital, and after pulling over, after a fierce ideological struggle in the car, he finally decided not to go to the hospital today, he was afraid that Yan Yufei would see something strange from his face.
He turned the car around and returned to the Sheng family.
Seeing her son's extremely haggard appearance, Sheng's mother was heartbroken.
She cautiously asked, "What's wrong with you?"
He had to tell his parents the truth about today's events. Because he understands that their hearts are strong enough to withstand all the blows.
"Mom, I'm going to that town again today. ”
Sheng Ma's heart couldn't help but tighten. "Still haven't been able to convince the family?"
Midsummer nodded "um".
Father Sheng sighed slightly, "That family is stubborn enough." ”
Midsummer smiled indifferently, "You can't blame them for being stubborn." People are selfish at the critical juncture of their survival. Alas...... We can understand this. ”
Sheng Ma expressed her helplessness. The same mother, if it were her, she would definitely stand up and do her best to help.
"Extremely irresponsible family. Back then, I only thought about giving birth to a child, but when I gave birth, I disliked being a daughter. was sent out of the house, but still failed to give birth to half a son. At the end of the day, they had to count on their daughter to feed them. It's so selfish. ”
Father Sheng sighed, "Alas...... People don't want to help, and we can't force them. That's their right, too. ”
Midsummer nodded, "Hmm." That's what I thought, too. ”
Mother Sheng thinks about her daughter-in-law again, she is a weak and weak little woman who thinks about others everywhere, and she can't find the shadow of her biological parents from her.
She had to admit that the environment can affect a person's growth. Fortunately, Yufei didn't live with them. ”
Sheng Xia smiled, "If Yufei could be a little like her biological parents, she wouldn't suffer so much." ”
When Yan Yufei entered his company, he knew exactly how others bullied her.
He always remembers that when she worked in the company, others always pushed all the work they didn't want to do to her. When something went wrong with the job and she needed to take responsibility, people pressed all the trouble on her head and let her bear it alone.
And she never complains, always works hard, holds all kinds of grievances in her heart, and never tells anyone.
Sheng Ma smiled. "yes. That's what I found. Last year, when Yufei had a miscarriage, she insisted on not letting us trouble Wu Xiang and Cai Ruoyuan. And usually, let her stay away from them, don't be so nice to them, she always sympathizes with them, saying that they have to rent a house to eat, and there is not much money left. However, they all treat her as fools and bully. ”
Dad Sheng kept walking around in the study, sighing. "I've been to the family so many times, and I still haven't been able to touch their hearts. It's not a good idea to wait like this. ”
Sheng's mother said, "Isn't the daughter of that family working outside? I don't know if it's in the county seat or the city?"
Midsummer said, "It should be in the city." I think I've heard them mention it before. ”
Dad Sheng suddenly felt hopeful, "That's easy to do!"
Midsummer looked at his dad with a smile and a smile, of course, he understood what his dad meant.
"Dad, I don't even know the name of their daughter, where can I find it?"
Sheng Ma complained, "If I knew, you would have asked them." ”
"I've asked. Midsummer shook her head sadly, "However, they are afraid that I will go to their precious daughter for help, so of course they won't tell me." ”
Dad Sheng said, "Don't worry. I asked them to check on their house again. There should still be hope. ”
When Mother Sheng heard him say this, a slight smile appeared on her face again.
