54. The reality that has to be faced

Liang Ju took a step forward, a little hard to believe that his father would leave such a bad impression on Mao Dong.

Liang Zhifu has always been a very rational person, which Liang Ju has always believed in him.

"Dad, you're prejudiced against him."

"Nonsense! I don't even know him, what prejudice can there be! ”

"Then why didn't you let me stay with him?"

"You still have the face to speak!" Liang Zhifu threw away the hospitalization list in his hand and pointed at Liang Ju: "You say, did you go behind my back and your mother to rent a house for that kid with the family's money!" ”

"What?" He Mei looked back at her daughter with a look of disbelief, "Liang Ju, you actually spend money to raise a man outside?" ”

Liang Ju was stunned and didn't speak for a long time. These words came out of her mother's mouth, which made her feel even more ashamed.

But in fact, it's not as unbearable as they say.

When He Mei saw Liang Ju like this, as soon as her temper came up, she shouted loudly: "Liang Ju, you say!" Is it true! ”

Liang Ju still didn't answer, frowning.

"Okay, okay, Liang Ju, I raised you for more than 20 years, you didn't honor me, and you actually used my money to go out to raise men! You've got a chance to make it! Liang's mother stretched out her hand and pushed Liang Ju hard, but Liang Ju didn't stand firmly, and hit the end of the hospital bed with a few steps back.

"Mom and Dad, listen to me," she endured the pain in her back and went up to explain to her mother.

He Mei waved her hand and pushed Liang Ju's hand away, "What else do you say, is there such a thing!" ”

"Liang Ju, you sue me today, is there such a thing." Liang Zhifu also looked at his daughter and asked.

"Yes." In the end, Liang Ju had to nod.

"You" He Mei was so angry that she wanted to go up and hit Liang Ju a few times, but fortunately she was stopped by her cousin who had been standing by her side.

"Liang Ju! You're not going anywhere today, come home with me!" He Mei scolded angrily.

"Mom!"

The cousin walked up to Liang Ju and grabbed her, "Okay, listen to the words of the aunt and uncle first, and go back with us." ”

"I can't!" Liang Ju shook off his cousin and looked at his parents, "Dad, Mom, I have to go to him today!" ”

"You dare!"

Liang Ju can't listen to anyone's words when she comes up with such stubbornness, she is like her father, if Liang Zhifu starts a fire, it will definitely be a rage.

At this time, Liang Zhifu slapped the table fiercely, and looked at his daughter angrily, "If you dare to go to him today, don't think about coming back in the future!" ”

"Liang Ju, if you dare to go to that man today, I will treat it as if I never gave birth to your daughter!" Mother He Mei also said.

"Mom!"

"Don't call me! Or don't come back! ”

Liang Ju was also anxious, and as soon as his temper came up, he opened his mouth and said, "If you don't come back, you won't come back!" ”

Liang Ju turned around and pushed the door and left.

"You" He Mei didn't expect Liang Ju to really go out, so she stood up and was about to grab her, "Liang Ju!" Liang Ju, you're back! Liang Ju! ”

The cousin watched Liang Ju run out of the door and chased out, Liang Zhifu shouted from behind: "Let her go, don't stop her!" ”

"What kind of girl do I have here, I know how to spend money to support a man all day long!" Liang's mother sat on the hospital bed and pointed at Liang Zhifu and scolded: "It's just that you are used to it, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked!" ”

Liang Zhifu sat on the chair in the ward, his brows furrowed, and he didn't say a word.

――――

"Liang Ju, listen to me and go back with my sister." My cousin caught up with Liang Ju in the stairwell of the hospital and dragged her, trying to pull her back.

"Sister, don't persuade me, I have to go to him today." Liang Ju kept pressing the button of the elevator going down regardless of it.

"Then you don't care about your dad and mom!"

"They are just prejudiced against Mao Dong, they think they will look at people if they see too many people, but this time, I have to let them know that Mao Dong and I are serious! It's not nonsense! ”

"Then can't you let them go first, wait for them to be angry, and then go to that Mao Dong?"

"Sister, you don't know Mao Dong at all, he is a person with strong self-esteem, and my dad doesn't know what he said in front of him! It's certainly not a trivial matter that he hasn't come for so many days! ”

The elevator door opened with a clang, and Liang Ju turned around and told his cousin before entering, "Sister, you also go back to help me persuade my parents!" ”

"Hey you!"

Liang Ju left in a hurry, leaving his cousin and standing alone at the elevator mouth, "You can't persuade your own daughter, how can I persuade you!" ”

***

The New Year is approaching, some of the migrant workers on the construction site have returned home early, and Shi Bowen hopes to complete the project before the New Year, so he spends a lot of money and hires a group of new migrant workers to come to the construction site to catch up with the work.

In the past few days, Mao Dong has been tired and tired in order to be able to finish the project with Shi Bowen perfectly, and he even did some work himself.

He returned the key to the house that Liang Ju rented for him, and Shapi held the key several times to persuade him, but in the end he was forced back by Mao Dong's cold eyes.

Mao Dong rented a small house in the residential area near the construction site, the house belongs to the old house, although the area is small, but the furniture is readily available, the landlord is a loyal aunt, because the floor is high and the legs are not good, the children bought her a new low-rise house elsewhere, and the money earned from renting this house is the old lady's pocket money.

During this period, it was nearly twelve o'clock to go home every day, Mao Dong was used to living alone, and when he got home, he first took a quick shower, and after coming out, he called Sha Pei to ask him about Liang Ju's recent situation.

Mao Dong didn't eat dinner, he was cooking noodles in the kitchen with the phone, the steaming water vapor covered the kitchen glass with a layer of foggy water vapor, and the dim white fluorescent lamp also illuminated the small kitchen.

"Brother, you are so worried about oranges, just go and see for yourself!" Shar Pei didn't know where he was crazy, there was a lot of noise, and there were people who kept making him drink.

"It's not convenient for me to go." Mao Dong said.

"What's inconvenient, aren't you her object?"

Shapi drank some wine and spoke inarticulately, Mao Dong simply stopped chatting with him, hung up the phone, fished out the noodles and put them in a bowl, and sprinkled some green onions and coriander on top.

In fact, several times when he was alone in the kitchen, he would think of the last time Liang Ju cooked for him at home. He missed her, but he couldn't rush to the hospital to see her. Liang's father Liang Zhifu's words are not unreasonable, and Mao Dong also understands in his heart that he has taken on too many responsibilities and burdens, so that he can't completely let go of everything to take care of Liang Ju. It's not that he doesn't want to go to the hospital to see her, but he really can't go.

After eating the noodles, the whole person also became hot, Mao Dong lit a cigarette, sat on a small wooden chair and looked out the window and smoked slowly.

Tomorrow morning, Shi Bowen will go to the construction site to supervise the work, he knows about Mao Dong and Liang Ju, and it is not a way to dodge, so he will give him half a day off and let him go to see Liang Ju.

Mao Dong thought about it, and went to buy some things tomorrow morning, and personally went to Liang Ju's house to visit her parents. Regarding Liang Zhifu's concerns, Mao Dong wanted to tell all his own affairs, so that Liang Zhifu knew his sincerity to Liang Ju.

Wait a few more years, when he has dealt with everything, he will be like Liang Ju proposing.

Mao Dong had a feeling that in this life, he identified her.

He can give Liang Ju happiness and has the ability to take care of her.

The next day happened to be the weekend, Mao Dong got up early in the morning, took a shower and shaved his beard, and was standing in front of the closet to consider which clothes to wear, when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Few people knew about this house, and because it was close to the construction site, Mao Dong thought it was Shi Bowen coming.

However, the person standing outside the door turned out to be Zhong Ling.

***

When Liang Ju returned to the apartment she had rented for Mao Dong, she found that the items inside were still there, so she breathed a sigh of relief and went to the bedroom.

But when she saw that the clothes in the bedroom closet had been taken away, she suddenly realized that Mao Dong had moved away.

She forgot about it, there weren't too many items from Mao Dong in the living room, he lived here, but he was always like a traveler who was about to leave, and his belongings were put back in the bedroom anytime and anywhere.

Liang Ju called Sha Pei, but no one answered after calling several times, she was angry and went downstairs to take a taxi directly to Sha Pei's house.

The night before, Sha Pei and his brothers went to a nightclub until three o'clock in the morning before returning home, and now he was lying in bed sleeping soundly, and when Liang Ju was about to punch a hole in his door, he got out of bed and opened the door with a curse.

"Damn, who's going to be orange early in the morning?" Sha Pei saw Liang Ju standing outside the door with a dull face, and looked her up and down, "You were discharged from the hospital?" ”

"Less nonsense, what about Mao Dong?" Liang Ju's eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, and he pushed open the door and entered the house to find someone.

"How could my brother be here?" Shar Pei wore only a vest and was so cold that he rubbed his arms.

"Where did he go? Why didn't you visit me in the hospital once? ”

"He's moved."

Liang Ju saw that he didn't wake up, and he was also a little angry, and said directly: "Give me his address, and I'll go find him." ”

"My brother definitely doesn't want to see you now, cai"

"Shar Pei! I'm your future sister-in-law, how could your brother not want to see me, do you want to see the two of us break up! ”

Shar Pei hurriedly waved his hand, "How is it possible, can't I write it to you?" ”

Shapi also saw Liang Ju like this for the first time, her two eyes were bigger than anyone else, she was really angry.

Write down the address on a piece of paper and hand it to Liang Ju, who glanced at it and searched for a map on his mobile phone.

Before leaving, she glanced back at Shar Pei and couldn't help but say, "Drink less bars, I can kill you sooner or later." ”

"Hey, I'm your brother, did you curse your brother like this!" Shar Pei glared unconvinced.

Liang Ju glanced at him and replied, "I'm still your sister-in-law!" ”

***

Liang Ju took an hour and a half by bus to his house in Maodong, a suburb.

The old house didn't even have a security guard, and there were five floors in a row, and each building had seven or eight floors.

She took the address and inquired a lot along the way before she found out about the community, and the Sha Pei house number was written incorrectly, and after knocking on the door for a long time, two slippery men actually came out.

Liang Ju lowered her eyes and hurriedly ran downstairs, she stood at the door and called Shapi angrily, and Shapi was scolded on the phone, and Shapi gave her Mao Dong's address again.

It turned out that Shar Pei had just written a wrong house number in his excitement.

With the new address, Liang Ju climbed to the sixth floor in one breath to find Mao Dong's new house.

There was also a family next to the house where Mao Dong lived, and the door was open to block Liang Ju's view. Liang Ju checked the house number one by one, and finally pushed open the door to finally find the house rented by Mao Dong.

Unfortunately, the door was closed, and after knocking on the door for a long time, no one opened the door.

She felt that Mao Dong was definitely not at home, so she stood at the door and waited for five or six minutes, trying to call Mao Dong, but the phone rang inside the door.

Liang Ju thought about it, he definitely didn't go far without taking the phone, so Liang Ju hurriedly came down from the sixth floor and came to the front of the building.

Sure enough, she stood at the door of the building and saw Mao Dong, as well as Zhong Ling beside Mao Dong.

It's only less than ten o'clock in the morning, and Zhong Ling has appeared in Mao Dong's new house, and she is still leaving.

This can't help but make Liang Ju not think too much, she just left the hospital and didn't come back, and after arguing with her parents early in the morning, she ran most of Qihai City to come here to find him, but the last thing she saw was that he was sending the woman out of his house early in the morning.

Liang Ju felt that she was very bad now, as if she was going crazy.

Liang Ju stood at the door from a distance and watched Mao Dong and Zhong Ling walk side by side, Mao Dong was also considerately carrying things for Zhong Ling, and the white plastic bag was still Mao Dong's coat.

In less than a minute, Liang Ju felt that she really had no way to stand here in peace and watch the scene of the two of them pressing the road so indifferently, so she rushed behind Mao Dong and Zhong Ling in three steps and two steps.

"How did you get here?" The voice of Mao Dong speaking to Zhong Ling.

"Come here by car, it's too far away, is it convenient for you to go to the city?" Zhong Ling's voice.

"Luckily, I don't usually go." Mao Dong's voice again. "Next time you come over, tell me in advance, and I'll drive to pick you up."

"Okay." Zhong Ling's voice sounded very gentle.

"Morning! You've been out for a walk so early! ”

This time, Liang Ju heard that it was her own voice that was obviously angry, but she suppressed the voice of enduring her anger.

***

This was the first time Liang Ju had come to Mao Dong's new home, but she was just standing at the door and did not take a step forward.

"Won't you come in?" Mao Dong stood by the door and asked her.

Liang Ju looked at the room with a cold face, and said, "I'm worried that I'll see women's things." ”

With a breath of air, he naturally didn't like to speak.

"She's just here to bring me a coat." Mao Dong explained to her.

The coat that Mao Dong was referring to was the one he had put on Zhong Ling that night on the beach, and it was now being put in a white plastic bag and carried in Mao Dong's hand.

Liang Ju raised his eyes to look at him: "Why is your coat there with her?" ”

Mao Dong didn't want to explain what happened that night, because he didn't want to recall what Liang Zhifu and Bai Si said to him at the gate of the hospital that day.

Liang Ju glanced at Mao Dong's new home, and said coldly: "I don't even know your address, but she can come over early in the morning."

"Liang Ju, she is my sister-in-law."

"She's just your sister-in-law who didn't go through the door!"

Mao Dong looked helpless and stroked his forehead, "I don't want to quarrel with you early in the morning." ”

"I don't want to quarrel with you either."

Two people are at an impasse, one standing inside the door and the other outside.

Mao Dong lives on the top floor, and further up is the roof of this building. There are three households on the first floor, and the two next two are also rented out, and from time to time one or two young people will come and go.

After a stalemate for a while, Mao Dong looked at the thin clothes on Liang Ju's body, and couldn't help but take the initiative to speak, "Come into the house, it's too cold outside." ”

Liang Ju was awkward and refused to go in, but was finally pulled in by Mao Dong's hand.

After entering the house, she sat on a small chair in the living room, and Mao Dong poured a cup of hot water and stuffed it into her hand, "Warm up." ”

Liang Ju held the hot water cup and asked stupidly, "My dad has looked for you?" ”

Mao Dong sat on the chair next to her, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly.

The guilt and distress suddenly drilled into Liang Ju's heart, she looked at him and asked, "That's why you haven't been to the hospital again?" ”

"Hmm."

"Did he say a lot of bad things to you and make you embarrassed?"

"Nope."

Liang Ju bit his lower lip and said, "No matter what my dad says, I apologize to him and you now." ”

"No, you don't." Mao Dong sat beside Liang Ju, put his hands on his knees, and looked indifferent, "Uncle, he's right." ”

"He doesn't agree with me being with you and let's break up, do you think it's right?" Liang Ju asked.

Mao Dong didn't answer, avoiding her gaze.

Liang Ju saw his tepid appearance, and felt like he was the only one in a hurry.

She took a deep breath, restrained herself strongly, slowed down her speech, and said, "I went to look for you at your place when I was discharged from the hospital this morning, but not only were you not there, but you also moved everything away. I was afraid that you were angry with me, so I hurried to Sharpe's house to ask for your new address. I drove here for nearly two hours, and I climbed almost all the buildings in the neighborhood before I finally found your home. Along the way, I was thinking about how to apologize to you, but the first thing I saw was that you were sending the woman out early in the morning. Did she spend the night here last night, and why did she show up at your house in the morning? Mao Dong, do you know what you just said made me feel like I am? ”

The more he said the grievances in his heart, the more uncomfortable he felt, and unconsciously, Liang Ju actually had tears in his eyes.

"The way you look now makes me feel like you just listened to my dad and wanted to break up with me." Liang Ju looked at him, his vision already blurred.

Mao Dong lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground, Liang Ju couldn't see what he was thinking now from his eyes.

For a moment, both men fell silent.

The cloudy sky outside the window brought more suffocation, and in the humid air, Liang Ju felt that something was blocked in his throat, which was extremely uncomfortable.

She finally looked at him and asked, "You're going to break up with me, aren't you?" ”
