177. Her torment was not caused by me
The phone rang several more times, and I let the ringtone fall silent again and again, and then it rang sharply again and again, and it took me a while to put the phone on silent mode, and then I pretended to be calm and threw the phone on the bed, and got up and went back to the kitchen to continue what I had just done.
I don't know if it's right to do this, but I just silently recited Lu Xudong's words last night over and over again in my heart, reassuring myself not to care about my mother-in-law's words.
Lu Xudong may be in a dilemma, but this dilemma may not really be caused by me, right?
I stood in front of the landline, looked at the number floating in the caller ID, took a deep breath, and ripped off the line on the landline......
I tried to stop thinking about what my mother-in-law said on the phone, and began to concentrate on making peace and messing up.
When Lu Xudong came back, the rice balls were almost wrapped, I heard the movement of someone opening the door, I was shocked, and thought that my mother-in-law couldn't get through the phone, so I came to the door in person, but I stood up in a panic, and Lu Xudong's anxious face came into my eyes.
I looked at him a little dumbfounded: "How are you ...... Suddenly back?" I subconsciously glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was only twelve o'clock, not to mention that Lu Xudong usually didn't come back at noon, even if he wanted to come back, it couldn't be so early.
When Lu Xudong saw me, he was obviously relieved, "Your mobile phone has not been answered, and the phone at home has not been connected...... I thought...... I thought ......"
He took a deep breath, walked over and took me into his arms, and didn't continue.
"You think I'm gone?" I raised my hands, knowing that my heart was turned upside down, but I still knew to be careful not to let my floured hands stain his clothes.
"Cersser......" Lu Xudong let out a long sigh, although he didn't admit it directly, but it also confirmed that my guess was not wrong.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I endured the inexplicable sourness in my heart, tried to force the sudden tears back, and said very calmly: "Even if you drive me, I won't leave." ”
"Fool!" Lu Xudong hugged me tightly, as if he wanted to strangle me into his body, he let go of me for a while, and pretended to be calm and said: "Call your mother back first, she can't contact you, she's going crazy." ”
"My mother?" I couldn't turn my head a little, and looked at Lu Xudong in a daze, but he had already taken out his mobile phone and dialed my mother's number, and then put the phone to my ear.
"Xudong, are you home? Did you find Cersei?, is she okay?" As soon as the phone was connected, my mother's very anxious voice came from there, "I don't know what your mother said about her, this child usually likes to think wildly, and your mother keeps talking about the child......"
I couldn't be stupid anymore and reacted, my mother-in-law must not be able to contact me, so she turned to find trouble with my mother, and then my mother answered her phone and came to me in a hurry, but she couldn't be contacted, so I called Lu Xudong's phone...... That's why he ran back in such a hurry.
I was suffocated, tears poured out in an instant, regardless of the flour in my hands, I quickly wiped my eyes with my arm, and I didn't dare to look at the look on Lu Xudong's face, and shouted "Mom" in a very brisk voice as much as possible.
My mother's chatter suddenly stopped, and the next second it turned into a merciless reprimand: "What are you doing? Why don't you answer your phone?"
"I'm making dumplings, and my phone was muted last night, and it doesn't seem to be turned on. I casually pretended to be stupid to my mother: "What's wrong?"
My mom probably wasn't sure if I had received a call from my mother-in-law, so she squeaked for a while before she said in a tough voice: "I just want to ask if you have any dumplings, do you want to send you some, your sister-in-law and I packed a lot of them yesterday and put them on sale in the store, and they are still packing them at this time...... Since you've got it yourself, forget it. ”
"Mom......" I called out to her, the corners of my mouth silently provoked an arc, my heart was soft and sour, but I still had to pretend to be ignorant and said to her: "I haven't gone to work now, I will definitely wrap some rice balls by myself for the festival, don't bother with me all the time, I ...... I know how to take care of my life. ”
"It's good to know!" My mother was a little annoyed: "And that mobile phone, don't move to make people unable to get through, otherwise you might as well stop using your mobile phone!"
"Oh, got it!" I honestly admitted her reprimand, thinking that I had blacklisted her several times, and I couldn't help but feel a little guilty in the bottom of my heart.
My mother coughed a few times, probably a little confused about my attitude of being so cooperative, and I quickly said again: "Mom, that's nothing to do first, I haven't done it yet!"
My mom immediately responded, "Go ahead, go ahead, I'm busy too!"
When she hung up the phone, I immediately turned my head and motioned for Lu Xudong to put away the phone, and then bit my lip and asked him, "Did you drag all the way back?" Thinking that every time he could drive the car like he was drifting on such a crowded road in H City, I was afraid for a while.
But Lu Xudong was obviously not distracted by my preemptive move, he looked at me with heavy eyes, and only said in a low voice after a while: "I'm sorry...... I should have thought that with my mother's temper, she would definitely come to you...... Cersser, I'm sorry......"
"I don't like your apologies at all!" I tried to look at him as if nothing had happened: "Mom called me and persuaded me to divorce you, but I didn't want to hear it at all, so I hung up with her...... Am I a little bad? I offended your dad before, and now even your mom is offended......"
Before he finished speaking, he was hugged into his arms by Lu Xudong again, he reached out and stroked my hair gently, his voice trembled slightly, and with a little comfort: "No, you are doing a good job, don't pay attention to them, we can take care of ourselves!"
I sniffed and struggled lightly with the sourness in my heart: "Oh, you let go of me, it's almost finished......"
Lu Xudong took a deep breath and let go of me, I continued to wrap the unwrapped rice balls as if nothing happened, and asked him seemingly casually while cleaning up: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
He pointed to my wrapped rice balls, his frowning eyebrows stretched slightly, and said with a smile: "That's it!"
That afternoon, Lu Xudong did not go back to work at the company, nor did he mention anything about his father-in-law and mother-in-law again.
In fact, for Lu Xudong, when he married me, it was a matter of willfulness, but Rao is like this, but I know very well that he actually cares about the blessings of his family.
His former relationship was separated because of the obstruction of his family, and because of this, he and his father-in-law had a stalemate for several years, and even gambled on his life's events as revenge. When we got married, although not all of us were happy to see it, in addition to my father-in-law, my mother-in-law and Lu Yanxi's attitude towards me was still quite recognized.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law didn't chase me to make a noise as I expected, so she must not have disdained to make trouble with me face to face, right? Or will she actually still take care of Lu Xudong's feelings?
Anyway, Lu Xudong and I passed a few days peacefully, my father-in-law and mother-in-law never called me again, and Lu Xudong and I didn't mention anything related to the Lu family's old house.
Except for Saturday, when I went to class, I concentrated on studying food at home the rest of the time, and on my mother's birthday, Lu Xudong also deliberately got off work early to accompany me back to my parents' house.
No one ever mentioned that I couldn't get through on the phone that day, and I even fooled myself into thinking that maybe my mother-in-law's phone call was my own whimsy.
I even thought that Lu Xudong and I could really leave his family behind and live in peace like this.
Although Lu Xudong no longer pays attention to his parents-in-law, he often secretly talks to Wu's mother on the phone to inquire about some basic conditions at home over there, but in fact, he is mainly concerned about Lu Yanxi's condition.
Fortunately, Wu's mother said that Lu Yanxi was in a good state, but she didn't go on the day of the trial, and the court ruled in absentia and did not divorce, so she mediated privately, and sent the verdict to the Lu family's old house on the day of the verdict.
This result, which we expected a long time ago, made Lu Xudong a little uneasy, he actually hoped that Lu Yanxi would want to let go, in his original words, that is: "Sister is not worth taking her life for a man who has changed her mind." ”,
But just like her mother-in-law said, Lu Yanxi is just dead-eyed and paranoid and refuses to wake up.
On the afternoon of the third day after the divorce court, Jiang Junxiu called me again and said earnestly that he wanted to meet me.
Without hesitation, I refused his request: "If there is anything you can say directly on the phone, but I don't think we have anything to say!"
Probably afraid that I would hang up on him again, Jiang Junxiu shouted a little anxiously: "Xiaoyin's grandmother is hospitalized!"
I was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a while, before I said in a deep voice: "I know, I'll call her later......"
Before I could spit out the two words of thanks, Jiang Junxiu interrupted me eagerly: "Cersei, no matter what you think of me, it's fine, but please don't blame Xiaoyin, you have known each other for so many years, you should know what kind of person she is, she has never thought about destroying anyone's family, from beginning to end, I am taking the initiative and I am insisting...... Grandma Ye is not in good health these days, and you are angry with her again, she is very tormented......"
"I didn't cause her suffering!" I interrupted Jiang Junxiu coldly, I didn't know whether to scold him for being ruthless and unrighteous or praise him for his sincerity, but his behavior of only knowing the new person and not the old person made me feel cold.
