Chapter 226: "The Culprit"
Liu Qiaozhen fainted, and everyone in the Deng family was suddenly confused.
Deng Jianwen put Liu Qiaozhen flat and lay on the sofa, Deng Wenxiang hurriedly entered the house and took out the quick-acting heart pill and put it into the root of Liu Qiaozhen's tongue, Deng Jianwu took out his mobile phone to call 120 first aid.
When Deng Jianwu opened his mouth to speak, Liu Qiaozhen woke up, waved his hand, and said that he didn't need to go to the hospital, so Deng Jianwu had to hang up the phone.
Deng Jianwen squatted on the edge of the sofa and guarded Liu Qiaozhen for five minutes, making sure that Liu Qiaozhen's face had eased, so he didn't force her to take her to the hospital.
Liu Qiaozhen's eyes kept looking at Mei Lan, Mei Lan hurriedly walked over and squatted in front of the sofa, Liu Qiaozhen took Mei Lan's hand, and two lines of tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes.
"Child, you have suffered, but unfortunately, Grandma understood too late. If you want to say wrong, grandma's fault is the biggest, grandma doesn't ask you to take care of your mother or you to take care of us, grandma said, you will live a good life with Xiao Cai in the future, and have time to accompany your aunt, nothing else, grandma doesn't ask for anything. ”
"Okay, I promise you, grandmother, what do you think? Do you want to go to the hospital? Seeing her like this, Mei Lan seemed to be explaining her last words, and her heart was sour, and tears fell down one by one.
"Don't worry, grandma won't go so lightly, grandma will watch my Lanlan get married and have children, and watch my Lanlan live a good life."
"Mom, don't worry, Lan Lan will live a good life, we will all live a good life, as long as Mom, you are good, I don't care about the previous things, we will all live a good life." Deng Shuiying was also frightened by Liu Qiaozhen's illness.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I think it's not the same as before, I used to be sick when my chest hurt so much, today it's like a needle prick, now it's much better, thanks to Lan Lan who took me to Beijing for this surgery." Liu Qiaozhen stretched out her hand and touched Mei Lan's face.
"Okay, Mom, don't talk about this, it's rare that everyone is back, let's talk about something happy, Lan Lan, I remember that you loved to eat glutinous rice cakes when you were a child, why don't you make us some when your grandmother is better?" Deng Jianwu held back his tears and changed his expression and said.
"What, that's my uncle's love to eat, right? What I like to eat is wormwood glutinous baba, otherwise, I'll go and see if there is any wormwood to buy some to make mugwort glutinous baba? Mei Lan also cooperated.
Since he is back, he just wants to accompany Deng Shuiying and Liu Qiaozhen to spend a good year.
Mei Lan remembered clearly that Liu Qiaozhen in the previous life fell down because she was stimulated and never got up, the time was just a year ago, in this life, she didn't want to repeat such a tragedy.
"It's not easy to buy wormwood now, and there is no greenhouse here, so I have to go to the supermarket in the city to have a look, and I will look for it when I go to pick up the car the day after tomorrow." Deng Jianwen said.
"That's to make something else, it just so happens that Xiao Cai is also there, let's make glutinous rice cakes and fried fruits." Deng Jianwu said.
He also wanted to find something for Liu Qiaozhen to do, so as to distract her and save her from always thinking about these unhappy things.
"There are no glutinous rice flour and soybeans at home, so Dawen went to buy some." Liu Qiaozhen said.
Yes, no matter how much you talk about things in the past, it's just tears, it's better to love Meilan a little bit in the future.
"I'll go." Mei Lan hurriedly said.
Liu Qiaozhen's face had softened, and Mei Lan guessed that she might have something else to say to Deng Shuiying alone, and it would be good for everyone to leave by herself.
"I'll go, I'll go to town." Deng Jianwen looked at Mei Lan with a worried look.
"Uncle, I'm just going to take Gan Lin to the town for a walk." Merlin found a reason.
She knew what Deng Jianwen was thinking, he must have been worried that Mei Lan would pass by the Gu family in the small shop after going to the village, and the Gu family had already returned to the village in a high-profile manner, and if Mei Lan had something to do with the Gu family, it would really be the last straw that overwhelmed Liu Qiaozhen.
Deng Jianwen heard Mei Lan say that he was going to the town, nodded, but did not object again.
Mei Lan took Cai Ganlin along the riverside all the way, most of the nearby villages and towns are built along the river, in addition to the weeping willows, there are many bamboo forests and patches of rape fields by the river, but unfortunately, it is not yet the season of rape flowers.
The people in the village didn't grow rape much in the past few years, but later as more and more people went to Wuyuan to see rape flowers, the villagers began to plant rape again one after another, and they also wanted to attract some tourists, but it was not on a large scale.
According to Deng Shuiying's recollections, when she was a child, the spring in Dengjiawan was beautiful, the mountain was full of red mountains, and the mountain was full of golden rape flowers and clusters of roses.
Mei Lan doesn't seem to have these things in her memory, she was a rough person when she was a child, and she rarely paid attention to these flowers, grasses or anything, she had the impression that when she was a child, she often followed the friends in the village to go up the mountain to pull bamboo shoots, and often picked some petals of Yingshan Red and put them in her mouth, sweet and sour, Mei Lan did not eat less.
"The air here, okay? It's wet, and you don't have to wipe anything on your face. Mei Lan walked up and down beside Cai Ganlin.
"It's good, it's much better than Beijing." Cai Ganlin nodded.
"Ganlin, you know what? When I was a child, I often went to the river ditch with my friends in the village to catch tadpoles, went to the river to fish for frogs, and there was a lot of rain in spring, so we would go to the river to fish and play, but we couldn't catch the big ones, do you like to eat winter bamboo shoots? I'll take you back and dig up winter bamboo shoots, you know? Winter bamboo shoots are not easy to find this season, unlike in spring, when after a spring rain, there are spiky spring shoots everywhere......" Mei Lan chattered about some interesting things from her childhood.
In fact, on another level, Mei Lan's childhood is much more vivid and interesting than Mei Zhu Meiju's childhood, because she has been in contact with nature, and nature has given her much more interesting cognition than on TV.
Cai Ganlin listened very carefully, but he didn't speak, and reminded Mei Lan to be careful of the puddles under her feet from time to time.
Entering Qutang Town, Qutang Town is also built along the river, this side of the river is a long street, all kinds of shops are lined up, and on the other side of the river are two schools, where Meilan once stayed for eight years.
The streets of Qutang Town are very narrow, which is extended and expanded along the old streets, and cars cannot pass in the center of the street, but there are a lot of motorcycles, bicycles, board cars, etc., and of course there are many people on foot.
Although it was afternoon, but because at the end of the year, there were still a lot of people on the street, most of them came out to buy New Year's goods, and there were the most people in front of the fruit store and grocery store.
When she was about to leave, Mei Lan saw a shop on the side of the road that made zuò peanut candy and sesame candy on the spot, so she ran over and filled it with a little, and when she was about to take out the money, someone handed a pink bill from the side, "Settle accounts together." ”
Mei Lan saw that it was Gu Pu.
"Why did you happen to be here?" Mei Lan looked around Gu Pu, and there was no one else.
"I just arrived yesterday, and I saw that it would not rain, so I came out for a walk, I was here when I was a child, and I remember that there seemed to be a lot of snacks, and I wanted to come and find some memories."
Mei Lan glanced at Gu Pu when she heard this, Gu Pu was also carrying a bag of sesame candy in her hand, it should have been just a chance encounter, not a deliberate chase.
"I have change, boss, or pay for each." Mei Lan took out a few pieces of change from her clothes pocket and handed them over.
Whether it was deliberate or not, Mei Lan didn't want to get too close to Gu Pu.
"Merlan, can I know why?" Gu Pu chased after him.
He is not stupid, Mei Lan's mother and his father both grew up in the same village, and no matter how many people they found in the family, they didn't succeed in matching, but Mei Lan's bone marrow matched him, and his father didn't take him back to his hometown for the New Year for so many years, but this year he suddenly said that he wanted to go back to the countryside for the New Year, and sent him over early.
If none of this can explain the problem, then Mei Lan suddenly alienated him and Lin Yun also indirectly sued him after learning that the match was successful, and Mei Lan and the Gu family must have some kind of involvement.
"Go back and ask your parents this question." Cai Ganlin had already seen Gu Pu, and strode over to pull Mei Lan away.
"Sister, are you really my own sister?" Gu Pu shouted from behind.
Mei Lan paused, didn't look back, and strode away with Cai Ganlin.
Who knew that just when Mei Lan was just out of town, a white CRV stopped on the side of the road, and several people got out of the car, and Mei Lan recognized Gu Rujiang.
Gu Rujiang said a few words to a woman in a khaki trench coat beside her, and the woman looked at Mei Lan, hesitated for a second or two, and walked over to Mei Lan.
"Hello, my name is Gu Yuanyuan." The other party smiled at Mei Lan.
"I'm sorry, we don't know." After Mei Lan finished speaking, she pulled Cai Ganlin and walked away.
"Mei Lan, I am from the Gu family, and we are the only one surnamed Gu in Dengjiawan, so you should know who I am, right?" Gu Yuanyuan chased after her.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know, I only come to Dengjiawan occasionally for a day or two." Merlin turned to leave again.
This time no one caught up.
"It's been a bad day." Merlin muttered.
Since she met Gu Rujiang's wife at the airport, Mei Lan has not been doing well, it has been a long day.
"Lan'er, if you want to cry, cry out, don't worry about me." Cai Ganlin gave Mei Lan a hug.
He wanted to say this to Mei Lan on the way here.
"If I don't cry, why should I cry? I haven't done anything wrong, and my grandmother will definitely not leave me. ”
"You don't blame me?"
In fact, the culprit of these things today can be said to be Cai Ganlin, if Cai Ganlin hadn't taken Meizhu and Meiju at the dinner table, he might not have done so many things later.
"Do you think you're doing something wrong?"
Cai Ganlin shook his head.
"That's it, sooner or later, there will be such a day, and now I don't have to worry about being afraid that I will say the wrong thing one day, and I have to force a smile on my face at someone I obviously don't like and don't want to deal with, and my aunt will save her from being deceived again."
Mei Lan also wanted to open it, paper always can't contain the fire, for Deng Shuiying, it is better to know earlier than later.
"I also don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, so it's better to persuade your aunt to go back to Beijing with us." Cai Ganlin said.
"Forget it, I don't force her, just like I don't force my grandmother and uncle to be on my side. Gan Lin, whether you say I'm kind or say I'm a bun, I just want peace of mind, and I don't want to owe anyone a favor, because I believe that there must be a cycle of cause and effect in this world. ”
No matter how the Mei family has treated her over the years, the Mei family finally raised her, and Mei Lan's memory also has a few scenes where Deng Hongying carried her to the hospital and hugged her to tears when she was sick, so Mei Lan arranged shares of the company for Deng Hongying; Although the people of the Deng family deceived her, from childhood to adulthood, her grandmother and uncle were the ones who loved Mei Lan the most, so Mei Lan also returned this love.
As for the future, whether it is the Deng family or the Mei family, Mei Lan will not interfere anymore, she wants to live a free and arbitrary life.
"Okay, in the future, you don't owe anyone, if you owe it, they owe us, in the future, you live with me, how they like to toss and let them toss themselves." Cai Ganlin took Mei Lan's hand again.
"What's the matter, I want to live freely in the future, I don't want to trap myself so early." After Mei Lan finished speaking, seeing Cai Ganlin's face change abruptly, he hurriedly spread his hand and ran on the river beach. R1152
