Chapter 11: I Have a Father
Zhou Xiaomeng quietly told her brother about Mrs. Zhou's call. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She lowered her voice and said, "Grandma can't find Mom, so she will definitely call the factory." In another half an hour, an hour at most, Dad will come and urge our mother to go over and serve Grandma. Brother, we can't let Mom get angry in the past. ā
Li Xiaoli must have owed Zhou Heping a lot of money in her previous life, so she could suffer so much from him in this life.
Not to mention anything else, the old lady alone can toss her to death this week.
Mrs. Zhou never thought about Li Xiaoli when she was in good health, and she never had Li Xiaoli's share of what she had to eat and drink, but it was strange, whenever she was uncomfortable, the first thing she wanted to find was Li Xiaoli!
I went to the hospital for dialysis to find her, I had a headache and brain fever to find her, I lost my wallet to find her, and I even had to find Li Xiaoli after being scolded by Mrs. Huang at the entrance of the village.
It stands to reason that as soon as the daughter-in-law receives the call, she comes all the way from the next city to take care of you, and there is no merit and hard work, even if you are not grateful, you can't always practice others, right? Eh, Mrs. Zhou is not biased!
How to do it, how to do it, how to toss people, what to do.
Every time Li Xiaoli goes to her hometown, she always has to be stripped of a layer of skin, and when she leaves, she has to leave 1,800 yuan, which is really angry with her money and efforts.
Zhou Xiaoshuai also knew about this.
As an extremely patriarchal practitioner, Mrs. Zhou is naturally good to her only grandchild, Zhou Xiaoshuai, but she is ...... to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter
He sighed and said, "Grandma has always been like this...... What can I do, if Dad comes back, Mom will go over immediately. ā
Zhou Xiaomeng smiled, "Brother, I told my mother that I would make today's lunch, and you just took her to your room and pretended to have something to say, and when Dad came back, I would deal with it." ā
She "snorted", "Who wants to be a filial son, then who should do the work of serving his wife, why should he want his wife to be filial?" When my grandfather was sick last year, I didn't see him serve for a day. ā
Besides, doesn't Mrs. Zhou still have seven daughters? When there was a benefit, the seven daughters rushed to go, and when they were sick, they all avoided it. How can this be true?
Zhou Xiaoshuai saw that the time was almost up, so he coaxed Li Xiaoli into the room with Zhou Xiaomeng's words.
Zhou Xiaomeng was busy in the kitchen, waiting for Zhou Heping to arrive.
Sure enough, when there were five minutes left in an hour, Zhou Heping opened the door of the house and asked the first thing he said, "Where is your mother?" Your grandma is sick, so let her go over and cook. Why can't I get through to my phone at home? ā
Zhou Xiaomeng had a timid expression, "Mom is not feeling well, lying in the house." ā
She walked up to the phone and tried it twice, frowned and said, "The phone seems to be broken, and it hasn't been working since yesterday." ā
Zhou Heping's tone was very cold, without a trace of temperature, "If your mother is not seriously ill, let her get up, and go to grandma's house to cook now." ā
He said it so naturally, as if Li Xiaoli had to cook for his mother as long as she didn't have a terminal illness.
Zhou Xiaomeng opened her mouth, "But it's still raining outside." ā
Zhou Heping frowned, "Just take an umbrella, there is a car at the central station to the entrance of the village, and there will be no rain." ā
Zhou Xiaomeng couldn't help but "sneer", daring to love Zhou Heping, he planned to let his unwell wife brave the rain and take a long-distance bus to the suburbs of the next city to cook for her mother-in-law?
This wishful thinking made her almost laugh out loud.
Zhou Heping was stunned for a moment, "Are you laughing?" ā
Zhou Xiaomeng hurriedly stiffened her face, "Huh? ā
She pretended not to understand what Zhou Heping was saying, crossed her fingers and asked, "Don't the eldest aunt, second aunt, and third aunt all live in the same village as grandma?" Can't you just let them cook a meal? ā
Zhou Heping was stunned, as if he didn't expect his daughter to reply, "Your aunt went to the city to take her grandson, the second aunt has no time to do farm work, and the third aunt can't walk because of athlete's foot." ā
Hehe, it's the first time I've heard that I can't walk because of athlete's foot......
Zhou Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows, "Aren't there still fourth, fifth, sixth and sister-in-law?" ā
Her seven aunts are seriously bid, not to mention how united they are when they come to ask Li Xiaoli for benefits, but once Mrs. Zhou bumps into the time to contribute money and efforts, it will be a good show, either passing the buck to each other, or hiding without a trace.
No, she's going to have to blow them up this time!
Zhou Heping was choked by her, "The fourth aunt, the fifth aunt, the sixth aunt and the younger aunt each have their own affairs to do, your mother wants to go over and take care of it, why bother them?" ā
He seemed to be a little angry, "Zhou Xiaomeng, what do you want to say?" ā
Zhou Xiaomeng smiled at him, "My mother is not feeling well, she will definitely not be able to go." ā
She pointed to her nose, "Dad, why don't you let me go?" ā
Zhou Heping glanced at this daughter who was as obese as Li Xiaoli, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, "What can you do?" ā
Zhou Xiaomeng smiled and nodded, "Also, I'm so clumsy, salt can be used as sugar, and grandma can't eat the food she cooks." Clumsy again, washing the dishes may knock down grandma's cupboard, or don't go. ā
She paused, then suddenly asked, "Hey, Dad, why don't you ask my mother what's wrong?" Is it a cold, or a fever? Is it stomach discomfort, which hurts? ā
Zhou Heping was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said with a dark face, "Since I didn't go to the hospital, it must not be a big problem." ā
He snorted coldly, "Since your mother is not feeling well, let her rest at home." ā
After saying that, he left in a hurry, never thinking of entering the door to take a look at Li Xiaoli.
Zhou Xiaomeng suddenly stopped him, "Dad." ā
Zhou Heping turned around, with an impatient expression, "What's the matter?" ā
Zhou Xiaomeng walked up to him and stretched out his hand, "There is no money at home, I have to go out to buy medicine for my mother, and I have to buy vegetables for the evening......"
She opened a pair of big watery eyes, and her face was full of expectation, "The school also asked me to pay the material fee the day after tomorrow, and my mother has no money there, so she said that she would borrow it from Aunt Huang and pay her back when the salary is paid next week." I think it's not good to always borrow money from Aunt Huang, so I asked my dad to get it here, I have a father. ā
This sentence "I have a father" made Zhou Heping ashamed and angry.
A mixed feeling welled up in his heart, thinking that his daughter was deliberately mocking, but it didn't seem to be. There was no choice but to take out a thousand dollars from his wallet and "take it." ā
Zhou Xiaomeng counted the money one by one, and whispered, "It's not enough ......"
Zhou Heping counted five more, "Is this enough?" ā
Zhou Xiaomeng still shook her head, "My sandals are broken, I have to buy a new one, otherwise my classmates will always laugh at me, saying that Deputy Director Zhou's daughter is dressed like picking up garbage." ā
Zhou Heping's face was pale, and he didn't know why there was a surge of anger in his heart, "How much do you want?" ā
Zhou Xiaomeng pointed to the wallet, estimating that Grandpa Mao in it could have two thousand yuan combined, so he whispered, "Two thousand." ā
This is the first time she asked Zhou Heping to take the money at the beginning, and the reasons she said were so high-sounding.
Even if Zhou Heping was unwilling, he had no choice but to withdraw the two thousand yuan, he hit the shoe cabinet hard, and left in a hurry without even saying a word.
Zhou Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows proudly with the money, and when she turned around, she saw Li Xiaoli standing at the door with a lost face.
She hurriedly ran over and hugged Li Xiaoli's arm, "Mom, did you hear it?" I didn't mean to deceive people, but I listened to my grandmother's loud voice and thought that she must be fine, so I ......"
Li Xiaoli smiled bitterly, "I know, I know you're for my good." ā
She sighed, "However, your grandmother is sick, and my daughter-in-law can't hide, so let's go back to our hometown tomorrow." Otherwise, I don't know how ugly your aunts are. ā
was probably heartbroken again by Zhou Heping's ruthlessness, and Li Xiaoli was sick all day.
Zhou Xiaomeng was very distressed, she secretly discussed with her brother and said, "Brother, I don't think my parents' affairs can be delayed any longer." ā
Now that things are obvious, Zhou Heping doesn't care about Li Xiaoli at all, he just treats her as an old mother who can be used, but Li Xiaoli still cares about Zhou Heping very much, and any little neglect of him may cause harm to her.
For such a Li Xiaoli, I'm afraid it's not a good way to hide it.
Instead of letting her still have unrealistic illusions about Zhou Heping, it is better to directly tear off the layer of Band-Aid and let her face the pain.
Zhou Xiaoshuai was shocked, "You said tomorrow?" ā
Zhou Xiaomeng nodded, "Just do what I told you." ā
The two brothers and sisters agreed on this big event, and I don't know why, there is no pain in the family to fall apart, but there is a trace of excitement to do something big.
