Li's mother's heart was also like a knife, she shook her head and sighed, and said, "Xiaoxue, Mom doesn't know how many times I've told you, people are terrible." ”

"Why? Why do you want to live under the noses of everyone as if you are living in a cage? Li Xiaoxue hugged Li's mother's thigh and asked crying.

"Xiaoxue, why don't we get out of here. Far away, to live somewhere else. Li Mu's words seemed to have been thinking about it in her heart for a long time.

Li Xiaoxue shook her head: "Somewhere else? There won't be gossip anywhere else? As long as you are in the crowd, you will not be able to avoid this. Why, can't you just live your own life well, and you must disturb others to live in peace? ”

Li Mu smiled bitterly again and said, "You really got to the point. However, it is really childish. Many people don't have a good life and have boils on their heads, but they must also see the scars on others. You have no choice but to be careful and do things carefully, and fall less into the mouths of others. ”

"Is it okay to be careful?" Li Xiaoxue asked in her heart, and remembered that Li's mother led her to live alone, and she would always make some gossip secretly cry in the middle of the night.

――

"If you are young, you will be widowed, you must have done something wrong in your previous life."

"Just look at her goblin-like face! In the future, the one who has grown up will also be a little goblin. ”

"Find a man, it's like a home again. It's not a problem to lead a child like this. ”

"How do you know that people don't look for men? Maybe it's two ends in three days, and then replace it with one. Now, that's it. No one cares, but how good! ”

"I saw her go to a small inn with a man one night. Sneaky, still looking around, like a thief. Do? Who's to say anything about her? How good it would be to be generous! ”

"That's when the kids are home. If the child is not at home, he will take it to his home. I've bumped into it a few times. If there is no man, how can you call it more right and wrong in front of the door, if you want me to say, there are many men in front of the door, yes. ”

"It's not easy to have a child on your own. A woman who doesn't have a serious job, where is it so good to make money? No man, no man, no man, just her? ”

"Who makes parents good? This face, this waist, if nothing else, just this loneliness, it's unbearable. ”

"I also wanted to introduce her to a serious one, although she is older, she is loyal and honest, and her work is not bad. How is she? One bite and a refusal! What's in it? These days, don't say that there is only a teenage difference, and the old man in his eighties is looking for a big girl of eighteen or nineteen, there are all of them! ”

"It's not like there's just one. Then I saw a man in his forties, lame, knocking on the door of her house for half an hour. She was actually at home, but she didn't make a sound. I guess it's either that I didn't like it, or that there were other men in the house. Actually, if you want me to say, it's just a hip hop in the end, it's a man, that's it. ”

――

In this way, Li Xiaoxue really didn't know how much she listened, but at that time, she was not at the age when she could understand. Seeing Li's mother crying in the middle of the night, she thought that Li's mother was tired from working during the day. Until she could fully understand these words, Li's mother's youth was gone.

The burden of life has been so heavy on Li's mother, why can't this poor woman have a blue sky in her heart?

Could it be that as she said, she lives like a thing, and others don't nourish her?

She's so strong that the people around her always want to see her weak.

Her weakness was only seen by Li Xiaoxue, and her secret crying at night, along with everyone's criticism, was imprinted in Li Xiaoxue's mind.

Li Xiaoxue didn't know if Li's mother had fought against all kinds of criticisms, but Li's mother used practical actions and the aging of her youth to gradually seal everyone's mouths, and she Li Xiaoxue could see it.

And how much did this woman, this mother, pay for this?

Two women, one old and one young, one sitting, the other standing, for a long time, without any words, but leaning on each other, as if they had once been one and two, and then two into one, and the blood dissolved into one sculpture.

This sculpture is full of traces of time, and this sculpture writes about human nature, emotions and the vicissitudes of the world.

This is what Li Xiaoxue once expected, only to be with her mother forever, physically and mentally, forever.

I don't know how long it took, but a series of "clucking" footsteps came from far and near, directly into the space of this ward.

Clearly, outside the door of the ward, the footsteps stopped abruptly, as if the footsteps were just a temporary auditory hallucination, but the two women in the ward really heard it.

When the footsteps stopped, no one came in and no one knocked on the door. If the footsteps really exist objectively, should the silence that follows be a prying eye in the ward?

Who would do such a snoop? Li Xiaoxue thought of Zhong Youcheng first, Li Mu thought of it first, or too. If this mother and daughter really have blood and spirit, what Li Mu thought of must be Zhong Youcheng.

Zhong Youcheng became sensitive to the two women at the same time, although the footsteps just now sounded how it didn't look like Zhong Youcheng's.

The knock on the door finally rang out.

Li Xiaoxue's mother and daughter, who were also worried about this knock on the door, invariably breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiaoxue stood up, wiped away her tears, and went to open the door.

is really Zhong Youcheng's words, Li Xiaoxue has made up her mind, and in front of Li's mother, she will break up with Zhong Youcheng completely.

After the door was solemnly opened by Li Xiaoxue, it was Cao Yingying who appeared in front of Li Xiaoxue.

Only Cao Yingying.

"Yingying?" Li Xiaoxue screamed like this, as if she was a little surprised and a little disappointed.

"Why did you turn off your phone?" Cao Yingying asked Li Xiaoxue, and said hello to Li's mother again, "Auntie, your body feels better, right?" ”

"Better? The hospital is almost home. Mother Li sighed in her heart, and said to Cao Yingying again, "It's better, it's better." ”

Cao Yingying didn't need to go out of her way to look at the red eyes of Li Xiaoxue's mother and daughter. Knowing that these two people who had not stopped much during this period of time must have made a fuss again, they sighed secretly, quietly glanced at Li Xiaoxue, and asked with a smile: "Do you have time?" ”

Li Xiaoxue had already taken out her mobile phone at this time and took a look, it was indeed out of power, turned off the phone, and listened to Cao Yingying's question, while casually asking "What are you doing", she plugged in the portable charger and turned on the mobile phone.

Cao Yingying smiled again: "It's my mother's birthday in two days." I wanted to buy a dress, but I just couldn't choose it. ”

Li Xiaoxue actually guessed that Cao Yingying came to find her, and nine times out of ten it was because of Zhong Youcheng. She really didn't expect that Cao Yingying could play such a role in front of her. And Zhong Youcheng completely regarded Cao Yingying as a bodhisattva who rescued suffering, and if he had a problem that he couldn't solve, he would move Cao Yingying out.

Such a Cao Yingying, does she have the heart of a bodhisattva?

"Middle-aged people's clothes really only have those styles." Li Xiaoxue said lightly.

Cao Yingying smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's not! But as soon as I bought clothes for my mother, it was either that the material was not good, or that the clothes looked old. Buying clothes, I'm really not as good as you. ”

Li Xiaoxue knew that Cao Yingying just wanted to call her out. Most likely, Zhong Youcheng is waiting somewhere. If Cao Yingying really wants to be the middleman between the two people, it would be a way to explain the words to Zhong Youcheng in front of Cao Yingying.

"Mom, then I'll go out for a while?" Li Xiaoxue solicited Li's mother.

Especially after suffering the loss of "wanting to capture the old and indulge", Li's mother didn't treat Cao Yingying as well as before, but she didn't know that Cao Yingying tried her best to promote the relationship between Li Xiaoxue and Zhong Youcheng several times, and looked at Cao's mother's face, and after agreeing to Li Xiaoxue, she also said to Cao Yingying: "When you do it, call me too." ”

Cao Yingying happily agreed, took Li Xiaoxue's arm, and left.

After turning a corner, Li Xiaoxue stood down first.

"What's wrong?" Cao Yingying looked at Li Xiaoxue and asked knowingly.

"Stop acting. Did he tell you to call me out? Li Xiaoxue said directly.

Cao Yingying didn't want to go around in any circles, and said simply: "Not bad." ”

"What good did he give you by running errands for him like this?" Li Xiaoxue said unhappily and turned away.

"The benefits? He? Cao Yingying was inexplicable, "Comrade Li Xiaoxue, he is a poor scumbag, what benefits can he give me?" I'm not doing this for you? ”

"For me?" Li Xiaoxue didn't know why, "hehe", and smiled.

Cao Yingying seemed to hear a little ridicule in Li Xiaoxue's laughter, grabbed Li Xiaoxue's arm and turned Li Xiaoxue's body: "What do you mean?" Isn't it for you, I'm full? ”

"I think you're just full!" Li Xiaoxue said angrily, wrestling her arm twice without breaking away, and then twisted her face again.

Cao Yingying shook her head and said sadly: "It turns out that good people really can't do it. ”

Li Xiaoxue said resolutely: "If you are really for my good, please leave this matter alone." Me and him, it's over. ”

"Finished?" Cao Yingying said in a skeptical tone, "You're all like that, it's over?" ”

When Li Xiaoxue heard Cao Yingying say this, her soul was almost frightened, her eyes widened, she looked at Cao Yingying, and pushed Cao Yingying back two steps: "What are we like?" ”

"Li Xiaoxue, at this time, it doesn't seem interesting for you to draw such a circle with me, right?" Cao Yingying said coldly.

"What did he tell you?" Li Xiaoxue asked again.

Cao Yingying said disappreciably: "That's what he said, so what?" Isn't that the case? ”

"How did he do that? How could he tell you this? "Li Xiaoxue has no master, and she is angry and corrupt.

Cao Yingying said solemnly: "The question is not what he said, but what you did. On this, Xiaoxue, I've always only been so conservative when you are, but I didn't expect you to be so casual. ”
