Chapter 323: Your Lady Has Passed Away?

Mu Linhai's eyebrows tightened, his eyes condensed, staring at Xiaoxiao's clear aura's eyes, "Special relationship?"

He Yujun quietly observed Mu Linhai's facial expression, and at this moment, he only saw the elder's doubts and curiosity, and did not see the slightest panic. [No pop-ups.]

In other words, if Xiaoxiao is really related to him by father-daughter blood, then he himself should not know.

Things got tricky, He Yujun raised his eyebrows calmly, stared at the tea cup in his hand, and was still silent.

Mu Linhai's doubts and expressions fell on Xiaoxiao's eyes, and the tense emotions in her heart were suddenly released. Among all kinds of speculations, the most unacceptable thing for her is that Mu Linhai knows about the existence of her daughter, but he is unwilling to recognize her out of his own future.

As things stand, this is unlikely.

The foggy eyebrows frowned slightly, Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment and raised again: "I want to know, you fell in love with my mother, what was the reason for the separation in the end?"

Mu Linhai listened, and there was not much shock, He Yujun had asked two years ago, he only said that he had not failed Nianmei, and he knew that this explanation would not let them go.

This time when he came to have a meeting, He Yujun contacted him early, saying that he hoped that he could spare some personal time to meet and talk alone. He was already prepared in his heart, knowing that Xiaoxiao would ask about all kinds of things back then.

Since he is not ashamed of his heart, there is no need for him to hide it.

The teacup in his hand was put down, Mu Linhai sighed deeply, and buried his expression melancholy into distant memories: "I and Nianmei are free love, in that era, pay attention to the words of the matchmaker of the parents, we were opposed by the Miao family from the beginning of the time, Nianmei has a soft temperament, and wants to be with me, but also does not want to go against the wishes of her parents, it is very embarrassing." I once told her that I would be good to her if she went with me, but she remembered that her parents had only one child, and she would be too unfilial to leave and rejected me. ”

Xiaoxiao and He Yujun both listened quietly to Mu Linhai's story of the year, more than 20 years ago, the society was closed, and elopement was indeed a big unfilial act that was not accepted by people.

"We struggled together for two years, and later, Nianmei's mother fell ill and said that she wanted to see her daughter start a family as soon as possible. Knowing that we hadn't separated yet, the Miao family took a step back and agreed that I would be with Nianmei, but it had to be me in the Miao family. ”

Money?

He Yujun raised his eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that the problem was here.

Sure enough, Mu Linhai sighed heavily, and his eyes flashed with remorse: "At that time, I was also arrogant, and I felt that it was a very undignified thing to join the family, and my family also strongly opposed it, and did not agree with me joining the Miao family."

Xiaoxiao was a little excited, and without waiting for Mu Linhai to finish speaking, he hurriedly asked, "So you broke up?"

Mu Linhai's eyes dimmed for a moment, but soon regained their color, shook his head and said, "Not at that time, but this incident became the fuse of the constant contradictions between us. ”

Nianmei felt that it was rare for her parents to take a step back, thinking that I should appreciate it, but I am also the only son in the family, because I joined the army and came to Yuncheng, my family background is not as good as the Miao family, if I am rich, my parents will be looked down upon in my hometown, and I will also fall into the title of eating soft rice. I can't accept it, I still hope that Nianmei can follow the army. We disagreed, and we had frequent arguments. Later, a quarrel was very serious, and Nianmei proposed to break up with me. ”

Recalling the scene more than 20 years ago, Mu Linhai still looked depressed, obviously that past event made him unforgettable.

Xiaoxiao couldn't accept such a way of breaking up, frowned and asked: "My mother broke up with you, and you just let it go, and you didn't even make it back?"

Mu Linhai looked at her with a deep look and corrected, "I have redeemed it." I waited downstairs at the Miao family for a whole day, but Nianmei refused to see me, and the nanny of the Miao family came out and said that Nianmei asked me to leave and never come to her again, and said that the family had arranged a partner for her, and it was a family with a rich business background. My conditions at that time, I felt that she was wronged when I was with Nianmei, since she was firmly determined not to be with me, and she had a good family, why should I be entangled again. I returned to the army, but a few days later, I received an order from my superiors and was transferred to another station. Before leaving, I waited downstairs at Miao's house for a long time, but unfortunately I still didn't see Nianmei. ”

"You are all soldiers, you should always understand that military orders are like mountains, and you can't disobey them, and I can only leave if I can't let go. Mu Linhai's palm holding the teacup couldn't stop trembling, and after taking a sip of tea, he was silent for a moment, his face became more and more lonely, "Later, it didn't take long for my comrades-in-arms in Cloud City to help me inquire about Nianmei's situation, and when I learned that she was married, I was completely dead." ”

"My parents have worked all their lives and are also sick, and not long after the news of Nianmei's marriage came, my father was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer. The letter came from home, and the old man's last wish before leaving was also to hope that I could start a family. At that time, I had reached the age of marriage stipulated by the army, so I obeyed my family's arrangement and married a virtuous woman from my hometown. ”

Xiaoxiao couldn't suppress the trembling feeling all over her body, although He Yujun clenched her cold fingers, she still became excited and resentful: "You have been in love with my mother for a few years, but you married another woman a few months after you broke up?"

Mu Linhai smiled bitterly, looked at the tea in the cup and said quietly: "Since you can't be with the woman you love anymore, then who is not to marry? What's more, that girl is my parents' favorite, and the two families are equally wealthy, and they can't say who is high. ”

"But" makes sense, but when it comes to the people closest to him, Xiaoxiao still can't accept it.

He Yujun grabbed her and pressed his palm on her shoulder, "Xiaoxiao, calm down, what Uncle Mu did at that time may be difficult for you to understand, but there is indeed no problem." ”

Xiaoxiao turned her head in surprise and said in disbelief, "Even you think so?!"

He Yujun looked at her excited and jumping eyes, frowned and made a calm face, "After all, your mother is married, Uncle Mu is a soldier, and his identity does not allow him to do anything that destroys other people's families, what else can he do except marry someone else?"

Xiaoxiao dropped his hand, his eyes were sore and red, and he nodded his head in a trance and said, "I know that you men will always have a high-sounding reason for abandoning women. ”

"Xiaoxiao!"

He Yujun wanted to persuade him again, Mu Linhai stretched out his hand to signal him not to use it, and said guiltily: "If I knew that Nianmei was not happy after marriage, even if I was a soldier at the time, I would take her away at all costs." It's a pity that I went back late."

"Have you ever been back to Cloud City?" asked He Yujun suspiciously this time.

The teacup in Mu Linhai's hand shook suddenly, a few drops of water spilled, and there was a moment of panic in his eyes, as if he had just noticed what he said.

Of course he went back, if he didn't go back, how could he have a chance to rescue Nianmei, but can the two children in front of him know about this matter?

In a situation like Nianmei's, it would be a luxury to live one more day, if these things hit her

"Uncle Mu, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Mu Linhai suddenly stopped, the expression between his eyebrows was struggling and tangled, as if he was weighing something in his heart, He Yujun stared at him tightly, and called out suspiciously.

"A few years later, Jinling's mother died, and I sent her ashes back to my hometown, and when I returned to the army station, I passed through Yuncheng, and I did deliberately inquire about Nianmei. ”

After saying a little slurred, Xiaoxiao raised his eyes suddenly, "Your wife has passed away?"

Xiaoxiao remembered that when she was with He Yujun, she came to the army for the first time and had dinner with the chiefs, and at that time she heard them mention that there was a chief's wife who was not in good health, and he went home to take care of his wife, so he was absent.

So, did Uncle Mu marry again?

Xiaoxiao looked at He Yujun suspiciously, but He Yujun also looked slightly shocked, obviously, he didn't know that the chief's current wife was not the original match.

Mu Linhai didn't answer this question, but continued with the previous words: "I inquired about Nianmei's news, and I learned that she was mentally ill and was sent to Anding Hospital. ”

Xiaoxiao was not distracted by this sentence, but sneered very impolitely, and sneered: "You have been blessed with a lot of happiness in your life, and you have experienced three women. ”

"Xiaoxiao!" He Yujun drank her heavily, and Xiaoxiao looked back at him, not to be outdone, "Did I say something wrong? And these three women are willing to sacrifice for him." ”

Mu Linhai didn't mind because of Xiaoxiao's disrespect, but just confessed: "Xiaoxiao is right, I am indeed sorry for these women. Jinling's mother and I had a husband and wife, and I did not enjoy happiness, but after I got married, I returned to the army, and she stayed in my hometown to take care of my seriously ill father. After her father died, she was about to give birth, and I was not by her side when she gave birth to Jinling. Later, my mother joined the army with her young children, and she continued to run the family until my mother died a year later, thinking that she could save herself from now on, not wanting her to die suddenly in an accident. At that time, Jin Ling was only two years old. ”

Xiaoxiao is not interested in these, but from what he says, she can indeed understand this woman's hard work, which can be regarded as a life for this man without regrets, and there is no return.

The room was quiet for a moment, Xiaoxiao's mood also recovered a little, He Yujun poured the teacup in front of her and Mu Linhai full of tea, she looked at the lively and jumping water droplets in the porcelain white teacup in a daze, and said coldly: "You have been in love with my mother for a few years, even if you haven't achieved positive results, you should have had a relationship, right?"
