"How much does it cost?" Zhu Huaijing asked.

Xiangmei said, "Fifteen thousand." ”

"Ah, so much? Hospitals will really make money! Zhu Huaijing thought that Xiangmei was deliberately shouting to Simao, squeezed her eyes again, and asked softly, "Is that woman really yelling?" ”

Xiangmei was not angry and said, "Isn't it true or fake?" I don't think I'll ever deal with her again anyway, just put up with it, and forget it. Otherwise, I'm not kind to her. ”

Zhu Huaijing knows Xiangmei's temper, if she is not happy, you can let her dissipate her anger by herself, and it will be fine after a while. So he went out of the kitchen and into the drawing-room. Simao lowered his head, as if he had caused trouble to his cousin and brother-in-law, and he was embarrassed. Zhu Huaijing said: "Simao, you have suffered this time, but no one expected this, it is like flying into trouble." To put it mildly, you didn't suffer much, you spent so much money on other people's medical expenses, and you lost so much money. Your cousin and I don't have any skills, we just have a few more friends. This time it's not a friend to help, I don't have the money to compensate you, I'm afraid that I will unjustly imprison you for a few days, and let you spend your own money to treat your injuries. You are also twenty-four or five years old, and you know the reason even if you don't say it, anyway, if you take the 5,000 yuan, don't say anything outside. ”

Simao said, "I know. Tired you and your sister. ”

Zhu Huaijing wanted to forget it until the point, but he was afraid that Simao still didn't understand, so he simply opened up and said: "Don't go outside to brag, saying that I didn't have any injuries this time, Baman slept in the hospital for two months, slept with the medical expenses of 15,000 yuan in Longxing Hotel, and earned 5,000 yuan in vain, which is worth it than doing anything." You can get it, it's several times more than our mayor's salary. But as long as you brag like this, something will happen, you will become a fraudster, and your sister and I will also become your comrades. ”

Simao hurriedly said: "I know, I know. I'm going to be ugly in the future, so I don't want to talk about it. No one in the family knew about it, and no one in Jingdu knew me anymore. ”

When the meal was ready, Simao hurriedly went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes and get the bowls. started to eat, and Xiangmei's face was better. Zhu Huaijing pleases Xiangmei and says to Simao: "I'm busy all day and night, and I don't have time." It's all about your cousin, and it's she who asks her friends for help everywhere. ”

Xiangmei pretended to be angry and said, "You rely on me for this?" In the future, if something happens, it's all my responsibility! ”

Zhu Huaijing smiled. Simao's face turned red and said, "Sister, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." As long as I don't talk nonsense, Longxing Hotel will not know about the name in the middle. ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "Your sister is actually worried that something will happen to you. In case the matter is revealed, your sister and I are just having a bad face, there is no responsibility, the responsibility is only on you. ”

Simao was a little frightened like that, and only said, "I won't talk about this anyway." ”

After dinner, Xiangmei asked Zhu Huaijing: "Do you still want to go over?" ”

Zhu Huaijing sighed, looked helpless, and said, "There is no way, you have to pass." ”

Xiangmei said: "If you want to go, I don't have time to discuss with you." Simao told me that he still wants to find something to do here, do you think he can find a way? ”

Zhu Huaijing felt strange in his heart that Xiangmei told him about this in front of Simao, and he had no room to maneuver. But in the way of Simao's face, he had to say: "Think of a way." Simao, don't worry, if you want, just rest at home for a few days, and wait for me to find someone. Anyway, you don't lose money, your 5,000 yuan can't be earned at home for a year. ”

Simao said: "I can't earn it." I do it with Wang Laoba, fifteen yuan a day, and I don't have something to do every day. Earning three or four thousand yuan a year is red. ”

Zhu Huaijing gossiped a few more words, looked at his watch, looked hurried, and said, "I have to go." ”

Zhu Huaijing went straight to Yuqin. He opened the door and went in, but he didn't see Yuqin, only heard the sound of running water in the bathroom. He pushed open the bathroom door and saw Yuqin lying in the bath with her eyes closed, motionless. He walked over and scratched Yuqin's nose, but Yuqin still didn't open her eyes. He kissed her again, but her lips didn't move. Zhu Huaijing didn't know why she was uncomfortable with him again, so she retreated alone.

Zhu Huaijing sat in the living room, not knowing what to do. I wonder if she looked down on him for the matter of the compensation fee? He was most afraid that Yuqin would see him as a layman. But Song Daqing told him that Yuqin didn't say anything about this matter, and it was only Lao Lei who made the decision.

Zhu Huaijing sat alone for a long time before Yuqin came out of the bathroom. He hurriedly got up and helped Yuqin to sit beside him. Yuqin didn't hide from him, nor was she hot, she just leaned on him lazily.

"What's wrong? What's uncomfortable, or what's wrong? Zhu Huaijing took Yuqin into his arms and touched her forehead with one hand.

Yuqin closed her eyes and said nothing. Zhu Huaijing got up in a hurry and said, "Yuqin, I'm most afraid of you like this, I don't know if you're really uncomfortable, or if I've done something wrong." How about you say something? ”

Zhu Huaijing Yuqin screamed for a while, and then Yuqin opened her eyes slightly and said softly: "You didn't do anything wrong, and there was nothing wrong with me." I just don't feel happy. ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "Why are you not happy? Why? There's always a reason, right? ”

Yuqin said: "Don't ask, there is no reason. ”

"How can there be no reason? Am I making you unhappy? You say, what do you want me to do, you say? Zhu Huaijing shook Yuqin's shoulder and said.

Yuqin shook her head and said slowly: "Don't ask, really don't ask." You just let me lie quietly in your arms for a while. ”

Zhu Huaijing hugged Yuqin tightly and stroked her emotionally. Yuqin broke free of his hand, just pillowed his thighs, closed his eyes, and lay flat on the sofa. Zhu Huaijing didn't dare to touch her anymore, only looked at her. Yuqin's chest rose and fell evenly, but her heart must have something on her head, and it was not calm. Zhu Huaijing guessed Yuqin's mood, but he was at a loss.

After a long time, Yuqin remained motionless, as if she was asleep. Zhu Huaijing was afraid that Yuqin would catch a cold, so he wanted to carry her into the bedroom or cover her with a blanket, but he was afraid of waking her up. He didn't dare to move, and his hands and feet were a little stiff. At this time, Yuqin let out a long sigh and said, "I guessed it a long time ago......"

Zhu Huaijing felt clueless and asked, "What did you guess?" ”

Yuqin still didn't open her eyes and said, "She's so beautiful, so young." ”

"Who?" Zhu Huaijing still doesn't understand.

Yuqin opened her eyes, looked at him and said coldly, "Your wife." ”

Zhu Huaijing suddenly felt that Yuqin's gaze was hot, burning his face hot. He was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Yuqin looked at him for a while, got up and said, "I'm tired, I want to go to bed and rest." ”

Yuqin went to the bedroom alone and didn't call him in. He suddenly felt ridiculous that he was staying here. He wanted to go in and say that he would sleep in the hotel tonight. When he went in, he saw that Yuqin had gone to bed, covering her head with a quilt, and her hair was flowing like water on the pillow. He stroked Yuqin's hair, and his chest softened. He figured he wouldn't be able to leave tonight. If you leave, you may never come back here. He lifted the quilt, undressed and went to bed, but he didn't want to lie down right away, leaning on the head of the bed.

Yuqin lay on the bed and lay her face on his lower abdomen. Zhu Huaijing wanted to say something, but he couldn't find a word, just kept stroking her back.

Yuqin lay down for a while and spoke: "I just don't want to think about it, in fact, I guessed it a long time ago." I think your wife must be very good, and your marriage must be very happy. I've been running away from this question internally. But she came today, and we met. She is so small, so smart, so down-to-earth and generous. In front of her, I felt that I was just a pile of meat, a pile of inorganic combination of meat, vulgar and unbearable, and I was not angry at all. Her gaze was so vivid, and when she looked at me and smiled, I felt very empty-hearted, and felt that her smile was becoming more and more like a mockery. ”

Zhu Huaijing couldn't think of anything to enlighten, only said: "She is her, you are you." You don't have to compare yourself to her. I'm going to talk about how beautiful you are, it might be funny, it's ridiculous. You just have to believe that I really love you. ”

Yuqin said, "Really? Love, yes, love. This love word has made people say it thousands of times, hundreds of millions of times, and it has become rancid, and it has a sour and rancid taste. I've been worrying about you all day long, but I just can't say that. But if you say it, I'm still willing to hear it. You're not the only one who has said this in front of me, but I don't feel numb when I hear you say it. ”

Zhu Huaijing was very emotional when he heard Yuqin's words, and said: "Yuqin, this shows that you also love me, so you don't feel numb when you listen to my crazy words." You don't have to say anything to me, I know what you're thinking. ”

"It's all fate!" Yuqin said, "My mother is this fate, and I have gone her way again." For all these years, there hasn't been a day that I haven't told myself not to repeat my mother's fate, but it's still like this. ”

Yuqin had never told Zhu Huaijing about her life experience, and he was inconvenient to ask her. He just had never heard of her having relatives, and it seemed as if she was alone in the world when she came to this world. Last time, Yuan Xiaoqi looked at her and said that her parents were dead, and she had no relatives and no reason. Afterwards, he wanted to ask her, but he was afraid of making her sad, so he held back. Today, Yuqin brought up this topic again, and he wanted her to continue, but she only sighed and stopped talking. This sigh made Zhu Huaijing love the woman even more, and lay down and hugged her warmly.

Yuqin pressed her face to his chest, as if talking to herself: "This Longxing Hotel has only developed to such a large scale in the past ten years, it turned out to be just a small hostel, and my mother is the accountant here." My mother is a very ordinary and kind woman, she is more beautiful than me. My mom was an orphan. At that time, Jingdu was not very big, and everyone in the city knew that there was a beautiful woman in this small hostel, and at night there were often people shouting, whistling, and calling my mother's name outside this hostel. This made my mother have a bad reputation, and people thought that my mother liked to provoke people outside. Otherwise, why do people only call you by your name and not by other people's names? You're not the only woman in this hostel! Then my mom got pregnant with me. The yellow flower girl is pregnant, which has become the biggest news in Jingdu City. There are even more people who provoke her. My mother gave birth to me and raised me alone, and I never had a father. My mom never said who my father was. When I became a little sensible, I felt that all the people in the world were enemies of me and my mother. Others scolded me for having too much and too little mother, and the windows of my house were always smashed at night. ”

Speaking of this, Yuqin became sad, and tears couldn't stop rolling out. Zhu Huaijing wiped her tears and comforted her. Yuqin cried for a while, and then said, "My mother was only forty years old when she died. She was depressed and slowly died of anger. I watched my mom die, and I fell on top of her, feeling her hands slowly get cold. I was only sixteen years old and had not yet graduated from high school. My mother seemed to know that she was going to leave me soon, and she always treated me like an adult and explained things I didn't understand. She said that you can't trust any man, and don't give yourself to a man easily. My mother died, and I barely graduated from high school, and I stopped going to school, so I hired a job in this small hostel, which was considered to be the top of my mother's class. I began to understand what my mom was saying. I don't think there is a good thing in the world for men. Men mess with me all the time. My temperament is not as weak as my mother's, and whoever annoys me, I can do anything. A man told me to smash my head with a beer bottle. Others say that I'm not the same as my mother, but I'm just a hypocrisy. That's how I've been fighting men all these years. Thinking about it now, it's pointless, it's just that my temperament is a little perverted. Slowly, whoever knows about me, no one makes a decision about me anymore. I know that there are people in this big hotel who call me an old nun behind my back. Yes, old nun, I am indeed old. As soon as a woman approaches the age of thirty, she is not as good as a year. ”
