Chapter 269: The Ending

Previous Chapter

The relationship between Xinxin and Mu Nan is getting colder and colder, and Mu Nan is actually in a hurry. Bayi Chinese.com ≀≀<.<8≀1≦Z≀≀.≦C≦O≀M He found an opportunity to call Xinran, and wanted to ask his uncle to find a way to match.

Xinran told him that not only himself, but even the whole family was trying to help him do Shin Shin's work, but ...... "had little effect." Xinran said to Mu Nan bluntly, "I think that although Xinxin has not done a good job, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous." I'm afraid the conflict between her and your mother will not be resolved for a while. Can you think of a way to get your mother to go back and live for a while? In fact, most families like yours are old people who follow their brothers in the countryside, and brothers in the city pay for them. Can't you do the same? Even if you have a little more. Then you can go back and have a look when you have time, so that the relationship between you will be much better. ”

Mu Nan said with a sad face: "It's not a secret, I actually communicated with my two brothers two days ago, but they all have to come to the city to work, and the children also want to be brought out, so it is also difficult to take my mother back." ”

Xinran frowned and said, "It's difficult." Anyway, we all tried, and we couldn't talk to Shin Shin. You'd better find a way to talk to her yourself. Anyway, one of you has to make concessions, and it's not a matter of being so stiff. ”

Mu Nan had no choice but to say, "Then thank you, big brother, I'll talk to Xinxin myself." ”

Xinran instructed: "Xinxin is different now than before, and her temperament has become very stubborn. Don't be tough, put the truth away, put your feelings in front, convince people with reason, and move people with feelings. When it's time to make concessions, make concessions. When it is time to bear it yourself, you have to bear it yourself. When mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along, men are the key. Before, you treated the relationship like that, and even divorced. Don't think I'm talking straight, your reasons are great. It is the way you deal with problems that is problematic, irrational and immature, and lacks the responsibility and tolerance that a man should have. ”

Mu Nan lowered his head when he said this, and after a long time, he said, "Brother, thank you for telling me this." I'll reflect on myself. ”

Xinran nodded and said, "I'm not trying to count you down. I hope you don't make similar mistakes in the future, and I hope you can live happily. It's not easy to be a man, my brother understands you. But you always have to solve your own affairs, and you can only go your own way. Others can only help for a while, but they can't help for a lifetime. ”

Mu Nan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I will be responsible for myself and Xinxin's happiness." ”

Two days later, Xinxin received a call from Mu Nan, asking her to go to a western restaurant for dinner at noon. When the colleagues in the office heard it, they all laughed and teased her: "It's okay, it's all old husbands and wives, and it's so romantic." ”

Xinxin smiled bitterly and was silent. She knew what he was going to talk to her about.

At noon, Shin Shin drove to the restaurant, and she suddenly saw a little girl buying flowers walking by on the side of the road. She clicked on her mobile phone casually, and the word "Tanabata" quickly jumped into her eyes. Xinxin's heart moved, and then her expression became even more indifferent. Who can be happy to talk about such a thing on a day like this?

When the restaurant arrived, Shin Shin parked the car. When I opened the door and got out of the car, I hesitated. She was really afraid that Mu Nan would prepare a bouquet of flowers and even a beautiful gift waiting for her. No, she wanted a promise more than these clichΓ©d romances, promises that would give her peace of mind. Without this promise, these flowers and gifts would have been as hypocritical and disgusting to her as sugar-coating wrapped around a pill.

She pushed open the door and walked into the restaurant, and the waiter immediately came over to lead her to Mu Nan's reserved seat. Mu Nan had already come, he was empty-handed, and he didn't prepare anything. To be exact, he didn't even realize what day it was. This made Xinxin breathe a sigh of relief, at least, they were now facing the real other. If one or even both parties in a marriage always use hypocritical pretenses to face each other, no matter how affectionate and warm the appearance is, Shin Shin will find it unbearable.

The two ordered, and Mu Nan poured a little red wine for Xinxin.

"Say it." Xinxin took a sip and said.

Mu Nan nodded and said, "When are you going to go home?" ”

"I'll go back when your mom is gone." Xinxin replied bluntly.

Mu Nan sighed and said, "Xinxin, actually...... In fact, when my dad was critically ill, you lent money to my dad to pay for his medical expenses, and I ...... I'm quite impressed. I really felt that I had chosen you the right one in my life. Can ...... now I really don't understand, why can't you be more tolerant of my mom too? Anyway, she gave birth to me and raised me, and she is my real mother! If you look at my face, just accept her, okay? ”

Xinxin said coldly: "The old man is sick and needs money, this is righteousness. As my dad said, righteousness can't be wrong. But your mother, I really can't get along with her. In fact...... She's the same, and she's always looked at me unpleasantly. So, don't let us torture each other. If...... You can't accept it, as I've said before, you can choose to leave......"

Mu Nan looked at Xinxin, and what she said happily was right, she had indeed changed, becoming more stubborn, more resolute, and ...... More independent. She is no longer a childish little girl, but an independent, awakened woman! Mu Nan suddenly thought that if one day, they had to separate, perhaps, she would live better than him.

The meal was finished in silence, and both of them had their own thoughts, and they both ate a little incomprehensibly. Mu Nan didn't persuade Xinxin anymore, he seemed to have a new decision.

Just when Mu Nan called the waiter and was about to settle the bill, his phone rang, and Xinxin naturally took out her wallet and paid on the side.

The call was from Mu Nan's sister, and she told Mu Nan apologetically that she couldn't come over to pick up her mother first.

"Our school was dismantled, and all the teachers who had formal staff were reassigned to other schools. But people like me, who have never been regularized, have been laid off this time. My sister said frustratedly.

"And what do you want to do in the future?" Mu Nan asked, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

"It's not your nephew who was admitted to the county's junior high school. Your brother-in-law happens to have another acquaintance who is a wholesaler, who specializes in providing supplies to people. The two of us discussed that we wanted to open a small shop in the county town, approve it from him, and then retail it. The children can also be taken care of together. Yesterday we went to see it, rented a storefront, and then rented a house to live in, and it was okay. I...... I want to borrow some money from you. One or twenty thousand is fine. Now we have to rent a house, rent a shop, and buy goods, and the money is really a bit out of hand. My sister said a little smugly.

Mu Nan glanced at Xinxin and said, "This, wait for me to discuss it with your brother and daughter-in-law, and then call you back." ”

"Okay." When my sister heard this, she was not dissatisfied, and she continued: "It's just that Mom wants you to send it back by yourself." I don't think the eldest brother and the second brother will be willing to go over and pick it up. I think they mean that, and they don't even want to raise their adoptive mothers anymore. Just want to leave it with you. If they find an excuse to say they're not at home or something, you're going to send someone to me first. I have a way to cure them. ”

"That's okay, I'll take a leave of absence to send my mother back by myself." Mu Nan took the line, and told Xinxin to ask her opinion.

Xinxin said expressionlessly: "You can look at it." I don't have much of an opinion. I still have to go to work, so I'll go first. ”

Mu Nan watched Xinxin go out of the store, but she couldn't tell whether Xinxin was happy or not. He thought about it, but he was still not at ease, so he called Xinran and told him the ins and outs of the matter, wanting to hear Xinran's opinion.

After listening to it happily, he muttered for a long time: "Don't be in a hurry to answer your sister first." I'll wait until I call you. All right? ”

Mu Nan didn't know what kind of medicine his eldest brother was selling in his gourd, but he knew that his eldest brother's personality must be planning for their husband and wife, so he agreed.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Mu Nan returned home, and when her mother-in-law saw him coming back alone, she hurriedly asked, "Did you receive your sister's call?" ”

Mu Nan nodded.

The mother-in-law asked again, "Did you send her money?" ”

Mu Nan said: "Don't worry. I'll have to discuss this with Shin Shin. ”

The mother-in-law was a little dissatisfied when she heard this: "That's your own sister!" You can do it. ”

Mu Nan ignored her and went back to her room.

In the evening, Xinran's call finally came.

"Do you think that's going to work?" Xinran said directly, "You pay to buy a house in your county town, so that your sister's family can live for free, on the condition that your mother also live there and live for a long time." Go back and see it during the New Year's holidays. ”

Mu Nan was stunned for a moment and said, "In this way, my sister will definitely be willing." But how can you buy a house in our county for more than 200,000 yuan, Xinxin ......"

Xinran said: "Xinxin agreed. I just called you. Isn't your savings too large? It's okay, Mom and Dad agreed to give you something. Not enough for me to have it here. All you have to do is buy it. Anyway, the house is in your name, but it's just for your sister to live in for free, and the ownership is still yours. It is only for the elderly to provide for the elderly. ”

When Mu Nan heard this, he was a little happy and a little sour, and he said, "Thank you, brother." ”

Xinran smiled and said, "Family, say thank you." Again, as long as you live well! I'm worried about whether your old man will agree. ”

Mu Nan said: "Let my sister say this, it should be fine." ”

After the two discussed, Mu Nan called her sister.

"Of course that's good!" My sister was very happy to hear this, "It's better than lending us money." With a place to live, we don't have to borrow money to buy goods. ”

"But Mom, that's ......"

"I'll go and say! I'll tell your brother-in-law that I'll buy a ticket tomorrow. ”

Three days later, my sister was already sitting in the living room of Mu Nan's house and began to do work for her mother-in-law.

"Mom, you can come with me. Your son-in-law is an honest man, and he listens to me for everything. You can't let you suffer a little grievance if you follow me. Besides, they still live in our brother's house, and none of them can say anything. The spittle that my sister said splashed everywhere, but the old lady just didn't nod.

She pursed her lips and said, "I'm not leaving." I'm fine with Xiao Nan. I'm not going anywhere. ”

My sister frowned and said, "You're fine, have you ever thought about Xiao Nan?" Do you want to divorce him so that you are happy? ”

In a word, the mother-in-law was stunned, and immediately, two lines of muddy tears flowed down her wrinkled cheeks. She didn't want to leave, but she didn't have the intention of letting Mu Nan divorce, she really didn't! She just thinks that her son should hold her daughter-in-law, and her son should treat her better than her daughter-in-law. But Mu Nan not only didn't restrain Xinxin, but also had a deep affection for Xinxin, which was better than her mother, and she was a little unbalanced and ...... Eat one's heart out. But relatively speaking, among the sons and daughters-in-law, Mu Nan and his wife are still kind and kind, they will not calculate her coffin book every day like the eldest family, nor will they call her like the second family. On the contrary, they often give her pocket money and don't have to do any heavy work for her. Besides, Mu Nan's conditions here are also good, she is now used to having hot baths, natural gas, and all the conveniences of the city, she really doesn't want to go back. However, Xinxin refused to keep her!

In the end, the mother-in-law left under the persuasion of her sister. On the day she left, Shin Shin took her child to see her off. The mother-in-law hugged the child and cried, but she didn't look at Xinxin from beginning to end, and didn't say a word to Xinxin.

My sister was afraid that Xinxin would be embarrassed, so she was busy talking to Xinxin, but Xinxin smiled lightly, she didn't mind, as long as her mother-in-law was willing to leave, it would be fine.

Mu Nan followed her sister and mother-in-law back to her hometown and bought a second-hand house, which was fully decorated, furnished, and electrical, and the house was relatively new, so she could move in directly. My sister's family is very satisfied.

The mother-in-law saw that the conditions were much better than those in the countryside, so she lived with peace of mind. Even the eldest brother and the second brother were greedy when they saw it, and offered to come over to take care of their mother-in-law. But they were all rejected by Mu Nan. My sister also urged each family to send food to the city on time, she said, "Mom is everyone's." Xiao Nan is out of the house, I will contribute, you still don't have some food? ”

Mu Nan saw that the old lady had been arranged, so she was ready to go back. On the first night of leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said to his mother: "Mom, I have always wanted to ask you, why does my father go out to smash stones to make money with the money I send you every month?" ”

The mother-in-law said gloomily: "Didn't your second brother buy an old car?" Your eldest brother and sister-in-law want it too. Wherever they have money, they don't have the ability to earn it. If it weren't for the idea of earning two more for your eldest brother so that he could buy a car, your dad wouldn't have run to smash rocks to make money, and I'm afraid he wouldn't be ...... now Alas, forget it, don't talk about it. Don't tell anyone about this! Your sister will definitely make trouble with your big brother if she finds out! Your second brother knows, and his treacherous wife will definitely not give up. Your big brother...... It's hard, too. ”

Mu Nan looked at her mother's old face and was silent for a long time. In my memory, the kind, gentle, and fair mother finally faded away......

When Mu Nan returned home, it was twilight, he pushed open the door, Xinxin was teasing the child in the house, and when she saw him come back, she smiled at him. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, golden, warm and bright. Mu Nan walked over and gently hugged her shoulder: "How are you?" ”

"Okay."

"How is the child?"

"Good. Missed us? ”

Mu Nan looked at the child bathed in golden light and shadow, and said softly in response to the question: "In the future, when he grows up, he will spread his wings and fly high, what should I do?" ”

Xinxin also said softly but solemnly: "Then let him fly, we won't be his burden." ”

"So what do we do?"

"Save money, find a better nursing home, and stay together until the old ......"

"Do you really think so?"

"Really."

"That'...... Just take care of me. I am the one you rely on for the rest of your life! ”

"It depends on your performance, if you don't perform well, hmph, then I'll stay with others until I grow old."

"You dare!"

"See if I dare!"

…… Under the sunset, the happy figures of the family are dyed a pale gold, exuding a beautiful light......
