Chapter Eighty-Nine: Sleepless Nights
Wan Vieng didn't mean to stop at all, and continued to babble on and on.
The old man walked out with his coat on, and said to Wan Rong: "If you drink too much, hurry up and go to bed, don't say this or that here, it's not a shame." ”
Unexpectedly, Wan Rong not only did not listen to the old man's kind words and persuasion, but added evil words: "You know a fart, you know, I'm not drunk yet, even if I'm drunk, I'm more sober than you, raising such a baby." ”
The old man gritted his teeth, put his fingers on Wan Rong's head and said, "How can I have a son like you to say such a thing." ”
Xiao Mu, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, couldn't see the appearance of the dishes and chopsticks clearly, so he could only clean them up by feeling, and he didn't care about the grease stains on his hands, just ensure that the dishes and chopsticks were not broken.
Time seems to be against Xiao Mu, very slow, very slow, just a table of chopsticks, Xiao Mu cleaned up for more than half an hour.
I put the dishes and chopsticks in a large basin filled with water, wiped down the tables and chairs, took them back into the hall, and swept the floor.
The old man also happened to finish sorting out the messy dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and stood at the door of the kitchen and said to Xiao Mu: "Go to sleep, it's not early." ”
Cautiously walked past Wan Rong, without thinking, he was stopped by Wan Rong: "Wait, where are you going?"
"Sleep, where else can you go so late?"
"What kind of sleep, you kid still has the heart to sleep. ”
After saying that, Wan Rong tried to get up and get a stool to sit down, but the alcohol had paralyzed him, and he fell to the floor before he could fully get up, trying to get up, but he couldn't.
Raised his hand high, "Come, Xiao Mu, pull my uncle, my uncle can't get up." ”
Xiao Mu, who had his back to Wan Rong, had tears in his eyes and didn't want to help.
"Hurry up, or I'll hit you. ”
Xiao Mu had to turn around and pull Wan Rong up, but Wan Rong's weight was what Xiao Mu could bear, so he helped him up and walked a few steps, and Wan Rong fell to the ground again.
Xiao Mu looked at Wan Rong blankly and clenched his teeth.
"Come, Xiao Mu, bring the stool over and sit on it for me. ”
This time, Xiao Mu did not succumb to Wan Rong and stood still.
Seeing that Xiao Mu didn't mean to help himself, Wan Rong climbed to the corner of the wall, leaned on the wall panel, never left Xiao Mu, and staggered and raised his finger to Xiao Mu: "I said that you kid is too ungrateful to be grateful, uncle, I don't know how to help me when I fall." ”
Xiao Mu still didn't speak, nor did she cry, but tears dripped down.
"What are you crying about, you can only cry, what else can you cry about? I ask you, why don't your parents want you?"
And Xiao Mu couldn't remember the events of that year at that time, after all, a few years have passed, and the child can't remember the specific events that happened when he was young, and the memories in his mind are just abandoned.
Wan Rong yelled again, "That's because she doesn't want you at all, you know? ”
Is that so? Is it true that no one wants me? Will I be taken in by Zhang Laohan and them? From that moment on, Xiao Mu was skeptical about this matter.
"If you go on like this, I'll send you back to your dad tomorrow, so you'll be comfortable, and we'll be relaxed. ”
Hearing that he was going to send himself back to Awen's house, Xiao Mu was in a mess in his heart, wondering if he would really send him back, but he didn't want to go back in his bones, and he was still willing to stay at Zhang Laohan's house.
Xiao Mu whispered, "No, I won't go back." ”
"Don't you go back? Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life, this is your home, this is my home, nothing here belongs to you, including the fields, not a single cent is yours, it's mine, yours is with your father, what will you do in the future without land?"
Xiao Mu is still a child, of course, I haven't thought about these problems, and I can't think of them, but I really have to think about it when Wan Rong says this.
After being quiet for a few seconds, Wan Rong asked again, "What should I do?"
Xiao Mu was also angry, and roared angrily: "I don't want you, when I grow up, I will leave by myself and fight by myself, I don't even want to take half a step in this house." ”
"Phew, look at your cowardice, it's good that you can support yourself when you grow up!"
At this time, Xiao Mu couldn't hold back crying anymore, completely released himself, and treated him as his closest person, but he didn't expect to say this about himself.
The dim incandescent lights were turned off, the weeping children, the drunken uncles, and the chattering quarrels were destined to be sleepless tonight.
Zhang Laohan listened to what Wan Rong said very harshly, and finally couldn't listen to it anymore, so he walked out of the room with a pipe in his mouth.
Pointing at Wan Rong, he said: "What are you crazy about, drink some wine and just like that, what kind of ability is it, if you have the ability, you go outside and yell at others, don't yell at children." ”
Wan Rong, who was said by Zhang Laohan, was furious, and scolded: "I don't have the ability, yes, it's because you have the ability that you raise Xiao Mu very, Xiao Mu in the future, you will take care of it yourself, I won't interfere, what do you love." ”
Zhang Laohan also did not show weakness, and went back: "No matter what, I haven't seen you take care of it for so many years, didn't you just buy him a set of clothes, what's the big deal? Lao Tzu is not incapable of raising him, as long as there is one day with me, the child will have food." ”
Angry, Wan Vieng tried to stand up again, and although it was easier to lean against the wall, he still couldn't get up.
"Yes, you have the ability, you have the ability, everything today, the current situation is caused by your precious daughter and you, your family is too powerful, one is more powerful than the other, I don't deserve to be a member of your family. ”
Xiao Mu stopped crying and watched the two arguing, wanting to do something, but not knowing what to do, helpless.
Seeing that the smoke of this quarrel was getting more and more serious, the old man panted and walked out holding on to the wall board, and said, "You guys...... Can you stop arguing, arguing...... What's the use of arguing, don't say much...... Say less. ”
Zhang Laohan immediately rushed up to help the old man, and helped him back to the room, and he could clearly hear Zhang Laohan comforting the old man and saying: "It's okay, don't worry, don't be noisy, you lie down and rest, don't worry." ”
Xiao Mu was very surprised by this sudden everything, why did the old man suddenly do this? Wan Rong didn't make any noise.
Hurriedly ran to the old man's room, pulled the old man's scarred palm and said, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
The old man couldn't speak, Zhang Laohan picked up Xiao Mu and said, "It's okay, it's okay, your grandmother is fine, just sleep, it's not early, you are still sleeping." ”
Zhang Laohan carried Xiao Mu back to the room and comforted Xiao Mu to make him sleep.
But Xiao Mu didn't fall asleep all night that night, and didn't fall asleep until the chickens began to crow.
