Chapter 187: Uninvited Guest
() Liu Mei booked the hotel, so she called to inform Heshun: "I have booked a small private room in Tianheju, 302, you pick up Lingling at night and go directly, I'll go back to pick up my mother." ”
Heshun said "um" and hung up.
Liu Mei was a little lost, she originally wanted to smash the matter of not going back to her mother-in-law's house again, but Heshun hung up without giving her a chance at all. She knew that this incident made him unhappy, but even if he was unhappy, she would never want to move back. This is her bottom line.
Putting aside the messy thoughts, Liu Mei glanced at the time on her phone, it was almost four o'clock, and her younger brother came by car in the afternoon and said that Liu Mei would come over to pick up the station. Because my brother didn't know where the little house she lived in was. It's also helpless to say, Liu Mei has been married for so many years, and her brother and mother haven't been here a few times, Aunt Li doesn't look down on them, and when they come here, they have to deal with her cold eyes, so they don't want to come over. And Liu Mei's own house has been rented out since they got it, and they haven't been there once. Now, I can finally let them come over from time to time to hang out with relatives, just like other people's families.
Liu Mei hurriedly finished the work at hand, said a few words to her colleagues, and sneaked out of the unit. She took the bus to the bus station, and after waiting at the exit for a while, she saw her brother appear in the field of vision with a large bag. He was also accompanied by a woman holding a child.
Liu Mei frowned, this woman is her brother's daughter-in-law, but her brother didn't mention on the phone that he wanted to bring his wife and children over? It is said that it is nothing for the family to come over, but this brother and daughter-in-law are usually tricky, and Liu Mei's younger brother and mother are honest by nature. Although Liu Mei's family members are not tongue-chewers, after a long time, Liu Mei still vaguely hears some rumors, so she has no good impression of this woman in her bones. Especially when her mother was sick, she said that she had to take care of the child. Hiding and refusing to show up, he didn't pay or contribute, if it weren't for his younger brother, he was still real, and he quit his job and came over to guard the old lady every day. Liu Mei wanted to deny them in the future. Just two days ago, when her mother was recuperating at Liu Mei's house, she also mentioned to her that her younger siblings heard that Liu Mei had moved out and had passed alone, and they said it several times. wants to send the old lady and the child to Liu Mei here, so the two of them can go out to work. Fortunately, they were all blocked back by their mothers. Liu Mei didn't know that for this, the younger brother and his wife quarreled a lot, and the old lady was also very wronged. But even though her mother avoided talking about it, Liu Mei still became more and more dissatisfied with this brother-in-law. So in the face of her arrival, there is no cordiality at all for relatives to get together.
But if you don't like it, you don't like it, and you always have to do face work. Liu Mei greeted her with a smile: "Brother, brother and sister, you are here." Yo. The light rain is so heavy, hurry, let my aunt hug it! Liu Mei enthusiastically took over the child from her younger siblings, and she still liked her nephew.
The younger sibling smiled at Liu Mei, raised his eyes and looked behind her, and couldn't help but say disappointedly: "Brother-in-law didn't come?" I thought my brother-in-law was driving us up. ”
The younger brother stabbed his younger brother and sister with his elbow, and said to Liu Mei with some embarrassment: "Your younger brother and sister are fresh, I don't know what my brother-in-law's car is like, I always want to see it." ”
Liu Mei smiled and said, "I booked a hotel." Let's go out for dinner in the evening, and I'll let your brother-in-law take the child over first. Let's go home first, pick up my mom and go together. When the younger siblings heard this, they smiled again.
Liu Mei took a taxi. The group went back to Liu Mei's house first. Liu Mei's mother had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when she saw them enter the door, she was overjoyed, so she first took her little grandson into her arms and kissed her well, and then got up to serve tea and pour water for everyone.
Liu Mei hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mom, you haven't been good yet." Don't be tired, I'll come. ”
The younger siblings hurriedly said: "It's all a family, don't be so polite, we're not thirsty." Sister, where do you put this luggage? ”
Before Liu Mei could speak, her mother hurriedly said, "Come on, come on, let me go in this house, and you can sleep here tonight." So saying, he was going to lead the man into the house.
Liu Mei said: "Just put your luggage, I'll open a room for you outside at night." My house is small, with a total of two bedrooms and one living room, which is a bit unbearable. The small bed of 1.5 meters in that room, your family of three is also a little squeezed. ”
Liu Mei's mother hurriedly said: "What kind of room to open, and spend money!" All the medical expenses in front of you are all paid by you. In the future, you will have to spend more money. Don't always spend money. Just let them sleep in my room, and I'll sleep on the couch. ”
The younger brother also rushed to say: "Our family can make a floor in the living room, and none of you need to move." ”
The younger brother and sister didn't say anything, got up and walked around the house, and then came back and sat on the sofa and said to Liu Mei: "Eldest sister, you and my brother-in-law earn so much money every month, why don't you change to a big bed, it's convenient for someone to come, isn't it?" ”
Liu Mei glanced at her, remembered what her mother said two days ago, and couldn't help but turn a few corners in her heart, and said quietly: "That is, you and your mother come over occasionally to have a look, and I don't often come here at other times." In another year or two, it will be time to divide the bed for Lingling, and then let her sleep in her mother's room, a small child, it will be enough to sleep in such a big bed. ”
"Then why don't you change to a bunk bed! Let my Xiaoyu also sleep with my sister. The younger sibling said with a smile, not embarrassed at all.
The younger brother blushed a little, but under the coercion of his brother-in-law's gaze, he still spoke: "Sister, you see, Mom lives well with you, and she looks like her body is almost recovered." But your brother and sister and I still have to go out to work, and Xiaoyu has no place to go. He's used to following his grandmother again, you see......"
Liu Mei looked at her younger brother's embarrassed appearance, and she also felt a little compassion in her heart, and when she was hesitating, her mother said: "When I wait for two days, I will go back to help you watch the child." You don't have to worry about this. ”
The younger brother and sister hurriedly picked up the conversation and said: "Your body is not good yet, go back to show us the child, the two of us are not at home, there must be a ...... with three long and two short" Before the words were finished, seeing Liu Mei glaring at herself a little angrily, she hurriedly changed her tone and said: "We are not at ease, are we?" Still, with the eldest sister, someone takes care of us, and we feel at ease when we work outside. ”
Liu Mei was silent, although her brother and sister said this out of selfishness, but it was also the truth, let her mother go back so sick, alone at home, and take care of a child, she is indeed not at ease. But just let them throw the child to herself, to be honest, she is not happy, no one is obliged to raise a child for others, right?
Seeing Liu Mei's embarrassed appearance, the younger brother hurriedly said: "It's not early, don't let your brother-in-law wait in the hotel in a hurry, let's hurry over." ”
Liu Mei was reminded by him like this, and hurriedly got up and asked everyone to go out. The mother immediately followed with the child in her arms, and the younger siblings had to get up when they saw it, and followed Liu Mei to the hotel by taxi. (To be continued.) )
