My mother-in-law must have thought I was currying favor with her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut also, what's the difference between me doing this and pleasing her? Although my original intention was just to make Lan Sheng happy, wouldn't the way to make him happy was to show him that my relationship with my mother-in-law hadn't deteriorated to that extent?

I turned the pomegranate in my hand in anticipation, but there was still no sound.

My mother-in-law looked at me and said slowly, "Oh? Is it? ”

Lan Sheng looked at me again and said with a smile: "Shuzhen, peel a pomegranate for my mother to taste." ”

I didn't answer, I went to the tea table and got a clean teacup, then sat down, slowly peeled the pomegranate, and put the fruit in the teacup.

The mother-in-law said: "I haven't eaten pomegranates for several years, and when people are old, they can't eat sour things in their teeth." ”

Lan Sheng said: "The pomegranate is very ripe and sweet, and my mother will know it when you taste it." ”

"yes, okay." Mother-in-law said.

I thought to myself, and found that whenever I met Lan Sheng's face, as long as I showed my mother-in-law a little favor, my mother-in-law would not directly refute my face.

Pomegranates filled the teacup, and my plain nails were dyed bright red. After hesitating, I personally held the tea cup to my mother-in-law's bed.

The mother-in-law reached out and took some, and Lan Sheng also took it and put it in her mouth, saying, "It's really sweet, and the juice is enough." ”

I handed the teacup to Yun Qing, she whispered "Thank you, sister", and when I reached over to take it, I pushed the teacup directly into her hand. She gave me one look and took the teacup in her hand.

After the mother-in-law chewed a few times, Yun Qing hurriedly took out a free hand to catch the pomegranate seeds that the mother-in-law spit out.

"It's still not sweet," said the mother-in-law, "I think it's because I had a terrible headache before, so I can't eat it." ”

I retreated. Lan Sheng paused and said, "Then there is another one, let's taste it when my mother's body is better." He turned his head and asked Yun Qing, "Does Yun Qing think it's sweet?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, and smiled slightly: "I haven't eaten it yet." ”

"Then you take back the teacup, and your sister-in-law has peeled it off." He said.

Yun Qing pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Okay, naturally, I can't live up to my sister's heart." ”

Lan Sheng asked her mother-in-law what medicine Dr. Yao had prescribed for her. In the evening, the maids put the food in the upper room.

Lan Sheng and I went to the outer room first, and my mother-in-law got up and freshened up, and then came out with Yun Qing.

Mei Xiang placed three pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table. Seeing this, Lan Sheng hurriedly said, "Mei Xiang, go get another pair, I'll have dinner here too." ”

"Oh, yes." Mei Xiang lowered her eyes, but did not move her feet.

The mother-in-law looked at her and said awe-inspiringly, "How do you do things?" Go and get a pair, four people, three pairs of chopsticks is enough? ”

I thought it was funny in my heart, and my mother-in-law was "well-intentioned" to me. This kind of thing must have been ordered by her, otherwise how dare Mei Xiang do this? She wanted to let me know her dislike of me, but she also wanted to show her kind side in front of Lan Sheng.

Mei Xiang got the order and immediately went to get the dishes and chopsticks. After the four of us finished dinner together, Lan Sheng and I went back first.

The nights were cool, with insects chirping in the grass on both sides of the trail and the occasional firefly or two in the corner. Lan Sheng's hand clasped mine, and we walked slowly and leisurely.

He suddenly said: "Don't worry too much about tonight's affairs, maybe it's because in the past, we rarely had four people to eat together, so Mei Xiang was negligent." ”

I chuckled and said, "I didn't care." ”

I really don't care. She was meant to embarrass me, and if I really went to my heart, wouldn't I be even more guilty of myself.

Lan Sheng patted the back of my hand and said softly, "Sister Wan, I am very happy that you can stay with my mother like this today." After a pause, he said: "People are like this, after getting along for a long time, the relationship will be intimate." ”

I stopped and said lightly, "Lan Sheng, you haven't forgotten what I said to you before, have you?" ”

"Nope." He quickly replied, "I remember it all." ”

I lowered my head and said, "Then you better not say such things." ”

In the snow-clear moonlight, I saw doubts written all over his face.

I added, "I know it might be a bit impersonal to say that. But I just want you not to have such big hopes, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do what you expect, and then you will only be disappointed. ”

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled, "How come?" ”

"Yes." I looked at him and said seriously.

If Lan Sheng is disappointed in me, then my relationship with him will slowly fade.

Lan Sheng smiled and said, "Is it true that you and your mother should always be in this state?" Is this the only way this home can be? ”

This is a family, not a world between me and Lan Sheng, why do I always try to separate the two completely?

Lan Sheng couldn't have turned his back on his family for me, and the situation now is that it's hard for me to fit in.

I suddenly thought of a frightening question: If I had to choose, would Lan Sheng give up on me because of the Lan family?

I set my sights on him. The moon is like jade, and Lan Sheng's eyes are quiet and deep.

A voice said in his heart, "No." "In my last life, even when something like that happened, he still protected me. And he said that he would not abandon me.

But that's because he wants to maintain his reputation and protect the face of the Lan family, so he doesn't want to divorce his wife.

What is important in his mind?

After a moment of silence, I spoke: "Lan Sheng, I don't want this family to be like this, but now, it can only be like this." I can only try to make each other safe, but I can't make this family complete. What is the reason, I have also told you. ”

I can't ask Lan Sheng the question of "what's important", and I can't let him choose between me and the Lan family. I know what Lan Sheng's answer will be, and if I do, it will seem that I am being vexatious.

He sighed softly, didn't speak, and continued walking.

I shoved my hand into his palm, and he turned back to me and said, "I'm a little tired, I've tried my best, but I still can't do it." ”

"That's how it happens a lot." I said softly.

I couldn't comfort him, I couldn't give him hope, I could only say such a painless sentence.

Back in the house, Lan Sheng's expression was always sneering. I gave him the pomegranate that Yueying had peeled, and he ate a few of them and then stopped eating them.

At noon on the second day, Lan Sheng and I leaned on the Luodian bed together and looked at the book I bought yesterday, Yueying came in, took a letter in her hand, and said, "Zhu Niang, this is what the housekeeper asked me to bring over." ”

I got up and took the letter in my hand, feeling apprehensive, for fear that it was a post sent by Liang Gongzi, and since Lan Sheng was here, he would definitely be embarrassed at that time.

I glanced at the letterhead, and it was okay, it was sent from home. (To be continued.) )
