"Mom." Qi Yan walked up to Tao Yiru and hugged her.

Tao Yiru patted Qi Yan's back with her backhand and put a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone: "Your father will be very happy to know that you have found someone who can stay with you for the rest of your life." ”

Qi Yan turned his head to look at Cen Baihe, who bowed to the tombstone, and nodded with a smile: "Hmm." ”

"It's windy on the mountain, let's go back," Tao Yiru put on his gloves and looked very indifferent. In the years when her husband died, the child was also lost, she intrigued with a group of people in the company during the day, fought for power, and when she returned home, she began to wash her face with tears, and many times when she woke up, the pillow was wet.

Maybe it was because she cried too much at that time, and the feelings at that time were too strong, but now that she thinks of her husband, her mood is calm. The memory is still so clear, but the feelings have faded little by little, and the intensity has been lost, leaving only regret and sorrow.

It's not that she doesn't love her husband, it's just that it's been too long, and it's been ...... Forget that feeling of love.

Looking at the two young people who were supporting themselves on the left and the right, Tao Yiru looked back at the tombstone, she was unfortunate in her early years, and now she can be regarded as complete.

Tao Yiru returned home, left the two children to eat, and then drove the two away. Young people have their own lives, she is not an elder who likes to tie her children to her side all the time, and sometimes having a separate personal space can be regarded as an alternative enjoyment.

After six o'clock in the evening, Tao Yan suddenly found her, and with him came a very old-looking woman.

Tao Yiru knew this woman, her sister-in-law, who couldn't survive the guilt in her heart back then, and told her that the child was not lost, but the sister-in-law who was sold by her good mother.

"Sit down." Tao Yiru pointed to the sofa, her left leg on her right leg, "It's so late, is there anything wrong with you coming over?" ”

"Aunt," Tao Yan's lips trembled, "My dad has terminal cancer, and the doctor said that he may only be in the next few days, and he said that he wants to see you." ”

"See me?" Tao Yiru looked at Tao Yan funny, "We are brothers and sisters, but how many brothers and sisters there are, there is nothing to see." ”

Hearing Tao Yiru say this, Tao Yan couldn't say anything else, so he could only look at the red wine in Tao Yiru's hand silently, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Tao Yan's mother clasped her hands, she was a cowardly woman, even if she had a son who was a star now, she didn't dare to look at Tao Yiru squarely, "Sister, I know that it is difficult for a strong man to say these words now." I came with Ah Yan today, not to persuade you, but to see if you still have ...... Your child. ”

"He's fine," Tao Yiru gently shook the wine in the glass, "and there is no need to meet." ”

"I know," Tao Mu stood up and bowed to Tao Yiru, "Yiru, I'm sorry all these years." ”

Tao Yiru didn't speak, she didn't move, she looked at the cowardly woman in front of her, and said after a while: "Have you ever regretted it?" ”

"I don't know what regret is," Tao's mother was a little numb in her eyes, "My family took your family's dowry back then, and when I married into the Tao family, I became a member of the Tao family." Your brother has a bad temper, and he beats people when he drinks too much, but I have no culture, no ability, and I have only seen a place as big as the head of the village to the entrance of the town since I was a child, if I leave the Tao family, my mother's family will not want me, and I don't know how to live when I go outside. ”

She shook her head: "Isn't this life just like this, Ah Yan has become a big star, and he won't beat me anymore." I learned to surf the Internet, and I learned that a woman like me is called ...... Call ......" She tried to recall the idiom, but she couldn't remember anything.

"Look at me, it's a shame again," she smiled awkwardly, "Many netizens say that people like me deserve to suffer for the rest of their lives." Probably they were right, and that's all I had for the rest of my life. ”

"Mom!" Tao Yan held Tao's mother's hand, "How can you say that about yourself?!" ”

Tao Mu smiled and shook her head: "It's better to be a little girl now, she reads a lot, has a vision, and she can live without relying on men." ”

When she was a child, her family was poor, and she didn't even study for a day, and her parents told her that she was a girl and that she had to take care of her brother, and that her brother had grown up to be a good person, and she had to take good care of her brother. Later, her brother got married, and the family lacked money, so she married into the Tao family. It is said that the two elders of the Tao family have a bad reputation, and if the girl marries into his family, she will definitely be tormented by her mother-in-law, but who told her family to give more dowry, which is enough for her brother to marry the daughter-in-law of the neighboring village.

After that, the days went by like this, she was working around the farmland and the stove all day long, and even the TV could only be watched with her own man, stupid and timid, where could she compare to the current little girl.

Thinking of this, Tao Mu wanted to say that she did not regret it. But when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say a word.

In this life...... That's it, that's all.

"I'll accompany you to the hospital." Tao Yiru put down the wine glass and passed the coat brought by the maid, "Let's go." ”

Tao Yan walked behind her aunt and mother, feeling bitter and uncomfortable, her aunt and his mother walked together, in the eyes of outsiders, saying that they were mother and daughter, I was afraid that some people would believe it. His father is not a good husband, nor is he a good father, he has stayed up all night to study since he was a child, and later he has plastic surgery and worked hard to make money, just to make his mother live a good life.

But he became famous, but he didn't dare to stand up openly to support his parents' divorce, for fear that the media would smear him, and that □□ would affect his advertising endorsement, so his mother still endured it day by day. On the contrary, his father is living in a beautiful life, showing off to others from time to time, and he has a star son.

Obviously, it was his mother who brought him up with one hand and one foot since he was a child, but in the end, it was his father who was beautiful, and his mother could only serve his father at home.

Tao Yan's heart was even more bitter, and he walked quickly to Tao's mother and gently hugged her shoulder.

The hospital where Brother Tao lived was a well-known liver disease hospital in the imperial capital, and when Tao Yiru saw him, he was already skinny and skeletal.

"Sister ......"

Tao Yiru didn't take off her mask, she stood in front of Tao's father, looking at him expressionlessly, like looking at a stranger.

"Yes, I'm sorry," Father Tao looked at Tao Yiru, "Sister, I'm sorry." ”

"Thirty years ago, you should have said this when you beat me, and twenty-five years ago, when you lost my child with your parents, you should have said this," Tao Yiru's eyes were calm, "I accept your sorry, but I don't forgive you." ”

"Ho-ho." Father Tao let out a loud gasp, and he looked at Tao Yiru with a painful face.

"What do you want to say?" Tao Yiru's beautiful fingers made a "shhh ”

Father Tao stared at Tao Yiru.

"At that time, you said, I am a girl, what can I do."

"Look," Tao Yiru took off her mask and smiled beautifully, then put it back on, "Now it's the gap between me and you." ”

"In your life, you'll be just a piece of garbage until you die." Tao Yiru scoffed, "Disgusting. ”

Tao's father struggled to get up from the hospital bed, but now he could only squirm pitifully on the bed, Tao Yiru couldn't help but chuckle when he looked so embarrassed, and then turned around and walked out of the ward.

Tao Mu glanced at the man in the ward, hesitated, and followed Tao Yiru.

Neither of them spoke, Tao Yiru took off the mask and threw it into the trash, and Tao's mother had no expression on her face. The two walked into the elevator and went downstairs, and then Tao's mother saw the young man standing at the gate of the hospital.

The young man is very good-looking, his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to his sister-in-law, and he is holding a lady's coat and scarf in his hand, which should have come to pick up his sister-in-law on purpose.

"Mom, it's so cold, why are you wearing so little?" When the young man saw her sister-in-law, he walked up to her quickly, put his coat on her, and thoughtfully tied the scarf for her.

Tao Mu shook her hand and put her hand in her jacket pocket.

As if aware of her presence, the young man smiled at her and nodded, then took her sister-in-law's hand and walked towards a car.

Tao Mu looked at the backs of the mother and son, and couldn't help but take a few steps outside, knowing that the cold wind was blowing on her face, she reacted and stopped.

"Mom," Tao Yan ran out of the gate, draped a coat over her, "The doctor said, Dad, he's not well." ”

Tao Mu grabbed the coat on her body and nodded numbly.

A day later, Tao's father died because he was too ill and the rescue was ineffective.

The mother and son only prepared a simple funeral and buried Tao's father.

"Ah Yan, I said two days ago that your sister-in-law's child is getting married?" Tao Mu sighed, "His wedding will definitely not invite us." ”

"Love to invite or not, I don't have time to go," Tao Yan sneered, "Mom, you don't have to worry about these things now, you just need to take care of your body." ”

"Our family owes others, how can we not worry about it," Tao's mother took out a box, "I heard that rich people's families pay attention to gold and silver when they get married." I don't have anything to send, so you can send this for me. ”

Tao Yan opened it and saw that it was a golden Guanyin weighing dozens of grams, which was an eye-catching thing for Cen Baihe or Qi Yan, but for his mother, it was an extremely precious good thing.

"Mom! Why are you bothering! Tao Yan miracle, "This is the money you have saved for a long time!" ”

"With you, am I still afraid of lack of money?" Tao Mu smiled, "You should do your mother this favor." ”

Tao Yan endured it and agreed.

A day later, Qi Yan looked at the red velvet box that Tao Yan sent to him, and reached out to open the box.

The carving of Guanyin is not too good, and the box is not too high-end, but the weight of this thing is not light, and it will probably cost more than 10,000 yuan to buy it.

Tao Yan thought that Qi Yan would not accept it, or showed an expression of disgust.

"Thank you," Qi Yan took out an invitation letter from the drawer, "On the eighteenth of this month, I hope Ling Tang can have time to attend my wedding." ”

Tao Yan looked at the name Zhou Cui written on the invitation, and his mood was very complicated.

"Our family dares to finish the funeral, and it may be a little inappropriate for us to go to your wedding."

"You misunderstood, I only invited Ling Tang, it has nothing to do with you," Qi Yan tilted his head slightly, "Besides, I never believed in these, I believe in science." ”

your legs!

A feng shui master said that he believed in science and was shameless to die!

Tao Yan brought the invitation back, he knew that his mother wouldn't go, just like he knew that he was not welcome with Qi Yan.

That's it, the two of them don't have much to do with each other now.

The years are quiet, each is well, let it be buried in the years.
