Chapter 131: Sister and Brother
Xu Simu fed the child, and then used the milk pump to get a small bottle, and handed it to Sister-in-law Liu, if Xiao Lingyun woke up in the middle of the night, she could feed it.
Lin Huarui is also young and can accompany her.
"Third Miss, you should go and rest more, you can't bother during confinement. ”
Xu Simu smiled and went back to the room.
Zhou Hanyue leaned on the side of the bed and read.
Xu Simu went straight to get the home clothes, went back to the bathroom, took a shower and changed clothes, and then came out.
"Do you want to sleep?"
Xu Simu got on the bed, and his eyes glanced at Zhou Hanyue.
"Hmm. ”
Zhou Hanyue closed the book and turned off the wall lamp.
The two of them lay in the same black night.
Zhou Hanyue turned his head to look at Xu Simu, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep.
The two remained like this until Shu Qing's funeral.
The funeral was two weeks later.
Xu Simu is already out of confinement.
She wanted to take Xiao Lingyun to the cemetery, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou said: "No, the cemetery is too yin, what should I do if I hurt the child, it's so delicate." ”
Xu Simu couldn't say that Mrs. Zhou.
"Grandma, you're superstitious. ”
Mrs. Zhou glanced at her with disgust, "You don't care if I'm superstitious or not, anyway, I just can't, even if it takes a while, let Xiao Lingyun grow up more." ”
The old people have their own set of ideas, and Xu Simu can't change it, so she goes with Zhou Hanyue and the others.
She wore a pure black woolen tweed dress with a black coat over it.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she remembered Chu Fang's funeral last year.
It's still within reach.
When he closed his eyes, what appeared was Lu Heng's face.
"Okay?" Zhou Hanyue asked.
Xu Simu nodded, "Well, let's go." ”
Shu Qing's funeral was in a cemetery in Anling.
The Shu family was not extravagant, they just called relatives and friends.
Xu Simu and Zhou Han stepped forward and bowed towards the tombstone and Shu Qing's family.
Shu's father and Shu's mother almost cried, and if Shu Meng hadn't leaned on her husband's side, I am afraid she would almost be unstable.
Xu Simu remembered last year.
She also stood in this place, supporting herself strongly, to accept the bows of those who came to the funeral, and then return the salute.
Changed.
Old A also came down with his own men.
The sky was clear and clear, but when the golden sunlight of the golden spike spilled down, when I came to such a cemetery, I felt as if I was isolated by a strainer, and no light or warmth could penetrate it.
By the time the funeral was over, it was already afternoon.
Xu Simu wanted to visit Uncle Lin.
Lin Feng's health has not been very good since Chu Fang's death.
Lin Feng came back during the Chinese New Year, and now he is still at home and has not started to work to take care of Lin Feng.
Zhou Hanyue's identity was not suitable for coming, so he waited for her in the car downstairs.
Xu Simu came up with something, and Lin Fangzhou came to open the door.
"Simu, why are you here?"
Xu Simu smiled, "I'm here to attend a friend's funeral, and I'm here to see Uncle Lin by the way." ”
Lin Feng, who was on the hospital bed in the bedroom, heard the voice here, "Fang Zhou, who is coming?"
During the period when Lin Feng was on the sickbed, there were many colleagues in the factory who came to visit him, all of which came from Lin Feng's good popularity.
Lin Fangzhou walked in, "Dad, it's Simu who is here." ”
Lin Feng hurriedly said, "Come in quickly." ”
Xu Simu came in with a smile, and saw that Lin Feng wanted to struggle down from the bed, so he hurriedly came over and grabbed Lin Feng's arm, "Uncle Lin, don't get up, I'm not an outsider, you don't have to receive me." ”
I haven't seen him in just half a year, and compared to the tall and sturdy middle-aged man half a year ago, Lin Feng has lost weight twice, and his eye sockets are deeply sunken.
"Fang Zhou, don't be stunned, cough cough ......" Lin Feng said, "Hurry up and pour some water for Simu, Simu want to drink something?"
Xu Simu pressed Lin Feng's arm, "Uncle Lin, you really don't have to be busy, what should you have done before, how is it now, I'll cook noodles for you tonight!"
After a few more words with Lin Feng, Xu Simu followed Lin Fangzhou to the kitchen.
Through the door of the first floor, she could still hear the coughing sound coming from the other side of Lin Feng's room.
She frowned slightly.
"Brother Fang Zhou, what kind of illness is Uncle Lin?"
Lin Fangzhou lowered his head and poured water for Xu Simu, "Heart disease." ”
When Lin Fangzhou said it, Xu Simu knew about it.
Since Chu Fang left, Lin Feng has been a little restless, and once when he was riding an electric car to work, he collided with a car, then fractured his bones, and was hospitalized for a while.
When it comes out, the waist is not very good.
Until he raised his waist and didn't eat much, obviously all the indicators were normal, but he still couldn't eat, and the whole person lost weight in a short period of time.
Xu Simu listened and frowned.
"Do you want Zhou Hanyue to show him?" Xu Simu proposed, "Since it is a heart disease, you still need to prescribe the right medicine for the heart disease." ”
Lin Fangzhou nodded, "It's okay." ”
"Then you pack up your things and go directly to City C with me, which is close to the psychological counseling room, and you can take care of Uncle Lin while going to work. ”
After thinking about it, Lin Feng agreed.
Xu Simu accompanied Lin Feng to eat a noodle together.
Lin Feng rarely ate a lot, "Simu made it himself, I have to finish it, I can't help but give face, right?" ”
Xu Simu smiled.
After eating, Lin Feng asked Lin Fangzhou to send Xu Simu, and Xu Simu waved his hand and said no.
"Brother Fang Zhou keeps washing the dishes, I don't have to wash the dishes, so I don't need Brother Fang Zhou to send me. ”
She walked out the door and walked downstairs only to remember that she didn't have her bag with her, so she turned back again.
At the door, she heard a burst of vomiting inside.
is also accompanied by Lin Fangzhou's burial: "If you can't eat it, you can tell Simu, what to eat." ”
After a while, the vomiting sound on Lin Feng's side was quiet, and he heard Lin Feng's voice coming intermittently.
"If you can't eat it, you have to eat it, your Aunt Chu said before, Simu makes the best noodles with one hand, and now your Aunt Chu can't taste it, why should I help her eat her portion." ”
Xu Simu leaned against the door frame and didn't move his steps for a long time.
After about twenty minutes, there was no conversation inside, and Xu Simu knocked on the door.
Lin Fangzhou came over to open the door.
"Brother Fang Zhou, I was halfway through just now, and I remembered that I didn't bring my bag. ”
Lin Fangzhou had been taking care of Lin Feng just now, and he didn't go to the living room to look.
Sure enough, Xu Simu's bag was placed on the sofa.
Xu Simu walked over, picked up the bag, and glanced at the light turned off in Lin Feng's room over there, "Is Uncle Lin asleep?"
"Well," Lin Fangzhou grabbed the door key, "Let's go, I'll go down and see you off." ”
This is an old-fashioned residential house, there is no light on the stairs, only a flashlight held by Lin Fangzhou in his hand, and on the black staircase in front, there is a bright spot of light.
Xu Simu could see that Lin Fangzhou had something to say to her.
"Brother Fang Zhou, you don't have to be polite with me, just say whatever you want. ”
Lin Fangzhou leaned against the railing and moved his lips.
Xu Simu asked, "Is it about Li Zhengke?"
Lin Fangzhou raised his head suddenly.
"You got it?"
Xu Simu just looked at Lin Fangzhou quietly and didn't answer the next words.
A few years ago, she wanted to talk to Lin Fangzhou.
But a series of things happened to the Zhou family, plus she was hospitalized for childbirth, and until now, she had time to say a few words to Lin Fangzhou.
Lin Fangzhou was silent before taking out the letter paper that had been in his pocket and handing it to Xu Simu.
"This is the last thing your mother left for you. ”
Xu Simu was stunned.
Lin Fangzhou didn't look at Xu Simu, but looked farther away from Xu Simu's side.
"I'm sorry to see it, but ...... I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, in fact, your mother didn't just give birth to you back then, it was a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. ”
Lin Fangzhou raised his head.
"You have a younger brother who is Li Zhengke. ”
That's why he went to City C with him.
He wanted to find out what kind of person this Li Zhengke was, or what kind of person the family that adopted him.
Is it like Chu Jing's kind of person, who gets a little benefit, and flocks to come up and get rid of the relationship.
When he went to check on Li Zhengke's parents in private, he was discovered by Li Zhengke.
That's why Xu Simu saw the scene, the quarrel between him and Li Zhengke.
Xu Simu's mind was blank, only at this time last year, when he saw Li Zhengke's file resume, the date of birth written on it.
Same year, same month, same day.
Xu Simu lowered his head, and his fingers trembled a little and opened the letter.
The letter paper is yellowed, the handwriting also looks a little blurred, and it is not known when the letter was written.
Lin Fangzhou pointed the light of the flashlight towards the letter in Xu Simu's hand, so that she could use the light of the flashlight to read the words on the letter.
[Mu Mu, when you read this letter, maybe I was no longer there.
I was going to hide this news from you for the rest of my life, but I didn't say it after all, but I wrote it down.
In fact, long before you were born, I already knew that I was pregnant with a dragon and phoenix fetus.
was detained by Lu Qing, and I knew that I was pregnant with a male fetus, and I must not let Lu Qing know.
Girls can be tolerated by Lu Qing, but boys can't.
I knelt down to the attending doctor and begged her, and the attending doctor couldn't bear to see a little life die, so he helped me fulfill this lie.
Until he said so, your husband came out, and he was picked up by Lu Qing and someone.
Your brother, when he was born, gave it to the woman who was in another room on the same day.
It's just that the mother's health is not good, and in the early stage of pregnancy, she has already been warned that she is prone to miscarriage in the early stage and easy to stop in the later stage.
This time, she came to curettage because of fetal arrest.
The woman was also very pitiful, and in order to have this child, she almost became a nervous breakdown, and when the doctor told her that the child could not be saved, she broke down and shook her head, convinced that she had a baby in her belly.
I made a quick decision and gave the boy to the family.
I didn't give my name, but I knew that the family's surname was Li.
When the husband took the child to the mother, he concealed the child's background, and the mother was very happy that she finally had a child of her own.
Later, when I was in City C, I went to see the child.
I was very good-looking, my parents cared for me, and my sister was very good, so I was satisfied, I didn't plan to tell him about it, and I didn't want to disturb his normal life.
Mu Mu, I know that after I tell this matter, you will definitely resent your mother.
Why did you send you back to the Xu family to endure those hardships......
It's my mother's fault, my mother is here, I don't want to justify anything, there's nothing patriarchal, it's just ......
I'm sorry.
Mu Mu, I'm sorry. 】
Xu Simu finished reading such a whole letter.
She closed her eyes deeply, tears coming from her sockets and leaving a long trail on her cheeks.
"Is it Li Zhengke?"
"Well," Lin Fangzhou said, "I found the attending doctor back then, but the doctor didn't say anything, so I asked someone to check the cases of that year, and entered the obstetrics and gynecology department on the same day as Aunt Chu, and only one husband's signature was surnamed Li, and then I went to test the DNA ...... privately."
Needless to say, Xu Simu already knew what Lin Fangzhou's result was.
"I see. ”
Xu Simu folded the letter, put it in her pocket, and walked out a little sluggishly, but suddenly she didn't see a step in front of her, and she stumbled a little.
Lin Fangzhou hurriedly held Xu Simu's arm.
"Simu!"
Xu Simu shook his head, "I'm fine." ”
Lin Fangzhou followed behind, following in unison, afraid that Xu Simu's steps would be unsteady.
He said: "Aunt Chu still went to see Li Zhengke before returning to Anling, when he was still in high school and had not been sentenced to prison, so Aunt Chu didn't know about his ......."
"Hmm. ”
Xu Simu only had a fluttering word, as if he could be blown away by the wind as soon as he spoke, and he couldn't hear it anymore.
Lin Fangzhou sent Xu Simu out.
Zhou Hanyue's car was still downstairs, and the man's figure was leaning on the side of the car, not smoking, nor looking at his mobile phone, just holding one hand in his pocket and looking towards the corridor.
Xu Simu didn't know what it was like to be waited quietly by a man like this.
Now, I finally know.
Zhou Hanyue saw Xu Simu behind him and walked over quickly, "What's wrong?"
He held Xu Simu's hand and frowned, "Why is it so cold?"
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Fangzhou, who was following behind.
Lin Fangzhou didn't speak.
"I'm fine, let's go. ”
Xu Simu pulled Zhou Hanyue's sleeve and got into the car.
On the way back, Xu Simu leaned on the co-pilot's seat and fell asleep groggyly.
But Zhou Hanyue knew that Xu Simu must not have fallen asleep.
If it weren't for Xu Simu still having to breastfeed the child, Zhou Hanyue would never have driven like this, so he would have slept for one night tonight in Anling.
Back at the villa, Xu Simu went to the baby room to breastfeed.
Recently, my appetite is not very good, and I have eaten less milk to promote milk, Xiao Lingyun is estimated to have smoked for a long time and has not eaten, and she cried.
Xu Simu also felt pain, so she asked Sister-in-law Liu to make milk powder for Xiao Lingyun first.
As a result, Xiao Lingyun was used to eating milk, so she refused to eat milk powder, crying heartbreakingly.
Xu Simu went to the milk extractor, reluctantly got a small half cup, mixed it with milk powder, neutralized the taste, and Xiao Lingyun bit the bottle and began to eat.
Xu Simu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that all the energy in his body had been drained, and he was tired.
She didn't have much appetite, but she still insisted on eating the soup specially boiled by Sister-in-law Liu.
Zhou Hanyue came in from outside, holding a mobile phone in his hand.
He looked at Xu Simu leaning back on the chair, his eyes fell on the table in front of him a little heavily, and he didn't even react at all when he approached.
Zhou Hanyue stood behind Xu Simu and pressed Xu Simu's temples with both hands.
Xu Simu suddenly reacted at this time, and turned his head to see that it was Zhou Hanyue.
"You ......"
"Don't move, I'll press it for you. ”
I have to say that under Zhou Hanyue's movements, her heavy head seemed to be stuffed with lead, and she finally sobered up for a moment.
"Are you feeling better?"
Xu Simu nodded.
Zhou Hanyue bypassed the dining table and sat down in front of Xu Simu.
"You're not going to tell me?"
Xu Simu's heart jumped, "What?"
"If it weren't for the fact that I just called Lin Fangzhou, would you be going to hide it from me like this?" Zhou Hanyue asked.
Xu Simu held a warm glass of water in his hand and didn't speak for a while.
Zhou Hanyue asked Lin Fangzhou.
Lin Fangzhou didn't plan to say it, but thinking of this time, Zhou Hanyue was helping with the suffering inflicted on Xu Simu.
The husband and wife are one, and they both have children.
If there is a gap between the two of them because of this concealment, it will not be good.
He briefly told Zhou Hanyue about this matter.
"Are you going to tell Li Zhengke?" asked Zhou Hanyue.
Xu Simu subconsciously shook his head.
"Don't say it. ”
Chu Fang is gone, Lu Qing, who killed Chu Fang, is also dead, Song Lian is still in a mental hospital, and his biological father Xu Haijian is like this, it is better to let him live a good life in his original family.
"What about you?" Zhou Hanyue asked.
"Me?"
"Do you complain?"
Xu Simu clenched the water cup in his hand.
Resentful?
Obviously, they were all born to one child and one mother, but why was she sent to the Xu family to suffer and endure Lu Qing's harsh criticism and revenge?
And Li Zhengke can grow up in a peaceful and warm family and look carefree.
Just because she is a girl, can she escape Lu Qing's strangulation of her?
"Resentment," Xu Simu said, "what's the use." ”
The trajectory of life is unchangeable.
It's all fate.
She was able to withstand the hardships she had just endured for Li Zhengke, but she had no way to resist seven years of imprisonment for him.
There are really times when a door is turned on a window.
When the door is closed, this window will surely open for you.
…………
A month later, Zhou Hancheng was tried on the same day.
Xu Simu left the relationship between Zhou Hanyue's second brother Zhu Qihong and observed the trial.
When Zhou Hancheng was brought in in in gray clothes, his head was lowered, his hair was shaved, and he had completely lost his previous appearance.
He stood in the dock and listened to the prosecutor tell him about his crimes.
In commercial fraud, tax evasion, plus money laundering......
For him, it didn't matter if it was good or bad, he heard it and ran to the back of his mind.
All the way to the end......
"Intentional homicide, on the evening of February 23, in Room XX, Building XX, XX apartment, after feeding him sleeping pills in the early stage, he deliberately turned on the natural gas, and then closed the doors and windows, resulting in his ex-wife being found in eight hours and sent to the hospital for treatment and brain death. ”
Listening to these words, Zhou Hancheng only felt as if it was far away.
At this time, he was wearing cold handcuffs on his wrists, standing in the dock and letting everyone judge him.
When the life sentence came down, he smiled.
Will you be locked up in a dark prison for the rest of your life?
It's nothing.
Anyway, he was superfluous as early as when he was born, and he should die.
He followed the prison guard, step by step, to the small door leading to the dark prison, and closed his eyes deeply.
Looking back on his life.
His mother never liked him, and after he was born, she left him at the door of the Zhou family's mansion and never met again.
He was pitied by Mrs. Zhou, so he let Zhou Jianghe pick it up and put it at home to raise.
But he was never grateful to Mrs. Zhou!
Because she picked him up, just to rejoice Yang Qinyu, who has never been able to get pregnant!
Sure enough, his presence was really useful.
Within a few months, Yang Qinyu became pregnant.
Hehe.
In vain, he was always good to the old lady and Yang Qinyu before he was six years old.
It wasn't until he heard the words of a few maids that he knew who he was.
He is just a superfluous person who exists for the birth of Zhou Hanyue.
Since this is the case, others don't look down on him, so he makes himself strong!
Zhou Hanyue founded Qiyue himself, and he founded Feichi!
It's just that Zhou Han is taking the right path more and more, but he is getting more and more crooked, he only wants to be stronger than Zhou Han!
Zhou Hanyue can only come to this world because of his light, he must not be weaker than Zhou Hanyue!
He denied all his sins.
He only recognized Shu Qing.
In his life, he is only sorry for one person.
He also only needs one person to judge him.
I'm sorry, Shu Qing.
I will spend the rest of my life atoning for your sins.
…………
After Xiao Lingyun's full moon ceremony, Xu Simu began to return to the company to work.
When Li Zhengke saw her, he sent two things.
The first one is a thick red envelope and a pure gold bracelet, which is a full moon gift for Xiao Lingyun.
The second is a cup of ginger soup black tea, which warms up.
Xu Simu looked at the steaming cup of ginger soup black tea in front of her, and the mist covered her eyes, as if she had completely blurred her vision, and she couldn't see things clearly.
She raised her hand and wiped her eyes.
Sometimes, just a split second can erase a person's heart disease for months.
Xu Simu has always had a familiar feeling with Li Zhengke.
Before, she didn't know why.
She had never seen Li Zhengke, and even in the memory of the lost time, she concluded that she had not seen Li Zhengke.
Only now, she didn't know.
The reason why she is familiar with Li Zhengke is because the two have been inseparable for ten months as early as the beginning.
That sense of familiarity and intimacy cannot be replaced by any sibling.
"Zhengke, are you free for the weekend?"
Li Zhengke nodded, "Well, there is." ”
"Can you go somewhere with me?"
"Good. ”
Li Zhengke didn't ask where to go, and directly agreed.
The place where Xu Simu took Li Zhengke was Anling Cemetery.
She bought two bouquets of flowers and gave one bouquet of flowers to Li Zhengke to hold.
"This is my mom. ”
Xu Simu looked at the photo on the tombstone and said to Li Zhengke, "She is very good." ”
In addition to being very good, Xu Simu couldn't think of any other adjectives.
Li Zhengke put the bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone and bowed deeply.
Xu Simu stood beside him, "I'm not in good health today, Zhengke, can you kowtow to my mother for me." ”
