Chapter 216: Turmoil
Early the next morning, according to the agreement, Lin Chen came to the house and rushed back to Ma Miaojing's hometown of Suzhou with Ma Miaojing.
Ma Miaojing talked to her parents on the phone in advance, Lin Chen didn't know how to drive, and it took about ten hours to come to Suzhou in an Audi driven by the driver.
Ma Miaojing's parents live in the suburbs, the ground conditions are not very good, the road is a little bumpy, and the car turned off in the middle of the road! The driver repaired it for a long time, and there were two bodyguards to help, but it still didn't work.
"Master Kong, is there any way? Can you go to Uncle Ma's house tonight? ”
The driver's surname is Kang, and he is actually a bodyguard, temporarily acting as a driver, but Lin Chen still likes to call him "Master Kong". In the extended version of the Audi, two bodyguards could originally ride in a car alone, but Ma Miaojing felt that there were too many cars, and she felt a little aggressive when she drove to the countryside, so she let the bodyguards and Lin Chen sit in the same car.
Who knows how this kind of thing can happen, why did the car suddenly turn off when it was driving well?
"Young master, there will be no way for a while, I'll make a phone call to find out if there is any place to repair the car around here, and ask them to find someone to pull the car away."
Master Kong dialed the phone, and after a while, he nodded at Lin Chen:
"Young master, don't worry, Audi Jiangsu Branch will soon send someone to pull the car away, but it is estimated that it will take more than an hour, and if you pull it back for repair, it should be difficult to repair it today."
Lin Chen frowned, it was already afternoon, and it would be dark when he waited for it, and it would probably be pointless to rush to Ma Miaojing's house when the time came.
"Wait a little longer and see if there's any other way."
Lin Chen was waiting. Suddenly, a minivan came in front of me. Lin Chen hurriedly waved his hand at the van. Soon the van stopped, and the head of a middle-aged man protruded from it:
"Where are you going?"
Lin Chen glanced at Ma Miaojing, and Ma Miaojing immediately reported an address.
"Just passing by there, then you two come up, 10 yuan per person."
There were already a few people in the van, Lin Chen pulled Ma Miaojing into the car, but the bodyguard was not taken away by Lin Chen, after all, he went to see his mother-in-law and his father-in-law. What's the deal with bodyguards?
After a few waves of people in the car, the middle-aged driver stretched his head:
"Here, it's 20 in total."
It was almost 6 p.m., and several figures in front of the van were waiting here:
"Is Jingjing back?"
A middle-aged woman, dressed very plainly, but the charm still exists, and she can vaguely see the beauty of her youth. In addition, there were two young men, one of whom was dressed in fashionable clothes.
Lin Chen touched the wallet in his pocket and found that there was only one credit card in the wallet. He has been paying by credit card lately and does not have cash with him. I can't even pay 20 yuan for the fare!
looked at Ma Miaojing helplessly, Ma Miaojing smiled, took out 20 yuan from the white wallet, and handed it to the van driver.
"Mom-"
Ma Miaojing immediately ran to the middle-aged woman after getting out of the car and hugged her tightly.
"Jingjing, do you still know me?"
A young man with a shaved shark head, colorful hair, and several earrings looked at Ma Miaojing with a smile.
"Are you...... Li Heipi? ”
The young man immediately pulled down his face:
"Don't call me my nickname when I was a kid, okay? Look at me now, I have a bar in the city, and I have time to come and play, and there are so many handsome guys. ”
"That is, now Li Hou may be patient, and he has opened a bar in the city, and even many cadres go to him to drink! Jingjing, Li Hou heard that you came back from Beijing, and I came here to wait for you as soon as possible. ”
A woman dressed as a village girl seems to be Ma Miaojing's cousin, and she is helping Li Heipi, that is, Li Hou, say good things.
"Cousin Fan Yan, are you and your brother-in-law okay?"
The woman's expression changed, and she said angrily:
"That useless thing, in addition to gambling or gambling, everything at home has been ruined for him, I agreed to marry him only because of his good family conditions, who knew that it was such a man, your sister will have a hard life in this life......"
Fan Yan sighed, and the last woman asked:
"By the way, Jingjing, who is this man?"
Finally asked the point, Ma Miaojing hurriedly grabbed Lin Chen:
"Second aunt, this is my boyfriend, his name is Lin Chen."
Except for Ma Miaojing's mother, the other three all looked different:
"Jingjing, when did you find a boyfriend? You must know that there are few good things for people outside, so don't be deceived and don't know! ”
The second aunt's tone was scathing, and Ma Miaojing's cousin Fan Yan was even more direct:
"What's so good about this man? Take a van over, and Jingjing will pay you the fare, you look at what he is wearing, he doesn't look like a rich man at first glance, he doesn't even bring a pack of cigarettes when he comes here, it is clear that he is here to eat and drink for nothing! ”
If you want to say that Lin Chen came over empty-handed, it would have wronged him. He brought a cart of gifts, but unfortunately the car broke down on the road, Lin Chen couldn't come over with one or two gifts first, right?
Lin Chen was about to explain, when Li Hou, the young man who opened the bar, walked up directly and grabbed Lin Chen's clothes!
"I warn you, stay away from our Jingjing, otherwise I will be rude to you!"
For this kind of guy who is similar to an idle person in society, and a rival in love, Lin Chen doesn't have any good face:
"Let it go."
After all, it was in front of Ma Miaojing's mother, and Lin Chen didn't want to do it casually.
"Li Hou, let go of Ah Chen!"
Ma Miaojing said angrily, but Li Houquan didn't hear it, and sat back and was about to swing his fist at Lin Chen!
"Stop the black skin! This is Jingjing's boyfriend, why are you beating someone? If you want to do it, go back to your own home! ”
Ma Miaojing's mother finally spoke, although Li Hou could not listen to Ma Miaojing's words, but she had to take care of her mother's words, if her mother objected to Ma Miaojing marrying her, then her thoughts would definitely be in vain.
"Oh, auntie, although Li Hou is a little impulsive, it is also for the good of our family Jingjing, I am afraid that Jingjing will be deceived. I don't think this poor jingle kid is a good thing, he must have saved the mind of eating white food, you see that he doesn't even have a car, he takes a van, and Jingjing has to pay for it, he looks like this, and he doesn't even deserve to be a little white face! ”
Cousin Fan Yan's words became more and more unpleasant, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, Ma Miaojing spoke:
"Shut up!"
Fan Yan was stunned all of a sudden, her face was ugly, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
"Jingjing, my cousin is also good for you, how can you talk to her like this for an outsider? Third sister, don't you look at Jingjing, what are you used to, sometimes, marriage really has to be taken by parents. ”
"I don't think so."
Ma Miaojing's mother pulled Ma Miaojing:
"I just like Jingjing with a bit of a personality, it's good. Let's go, Jingjing, let's go home, I made you your favorite stewed chicken. ”
"Thank you, Mom."
Ma Miaojing held her mother with one hand and Lin Chen's hand with the other, and walked home with a smile.
Her home is a one-story bungalow built by herself on an uphill slope and raises some chickens and ducks.
Lin Chen walked into the living room and suddenly found a black and white photo hanging on the wall, a middle-aged man, who looked a little vicissitudes, but was very heroic.
"Miaojing, this is ......"
Ma Miaojing's mother went to cook, and looked up at the photos on the wall, Ma Miaojing's big eyes were a little red:
"This is my dad, he ...... three months ago went. ”
Lin Chen heard about Ma Miaojing's father having cancer, and even handed over all his money to Ma Miaojing for safekeeping to treat Uncle Ma's cancer, but he didn't expect that it still had no effect.
Cancer, as one of the terminal diseases of human beings, has no way to be completely cured, but Lin Chen never imagined that Ma Miaojing's father would die so quickly.
"I'm sorry Miaojing, it's all my fault, I ignored you during this time, I don't know that Uncle Ma has ......"
Lin Chen blamed himself very much, he was training in a boring position during this time, and he was even worried about Lin Xinmei's affairs, completely ignoring Ma Miaojing's feelings. These days, Ma Miaojing is immersed in the grief of her father's death, how does a person survive? It was hard for Lin Chen to imagine, because he also lost his father in later generations, and deeply understood the pain of losing his loved ones.
"Ah Chen, you are so busy every day, I don't want to be a burden to you."
"What a word! Since you are my woman, you are a part of me, and who would think that a part of yourself is a burden? ”
Gently hugged Ma Miaojing, Ma Miaojing's beautiful eyes were red, she wanted to lie in Lin Chen's arms and cry bitterly, after learning that her father died, Ma Miaojing's tears were too much.
"Squeak-"
Suddenly, the door of the living room was pushed open, and I saw Fan Yan holding a plate, with a few eggs on the plate, and Ma Miaojing's second aunt followed behind her, pushing open the wooden door together, just in time to see Lin Chen and Ma Miaojing hugging together.
Fan Yan glanced at Lin Chen in disgust:
"Jingjing, don't blame your cousin for speaking badly, your cousin is also for your good. When your cousin and your brother-in-law were not married, your brother-in-law also said that it was like a flower, which sounded very good, but what was the result? In this life, a woman must not be deceived by two sentences, my cousin is a person who has come over, so I will put it here, I can't be wrong! ”
Seeing that Ma Miaojing's expression was a little wrong, the second aunt behind her immediately came up:
"Jingjing, this is your Sister Fan Yan's own boiled eggs. When I was a child, your Sister Fan Yan loved you, although she didn't like what she said, but it was all towards Jingjing, you can't be angry with Sister Fan Yan. Come, the second aunt will peel an egg for you. ”
Obviously, Ma Miaojing's second aunt can talk a lot, but Lin Chen can also see that this cousin Fan Yan and Ma Miaojing's second aunt must have accepted the benefits of that young man Li Hou, so they will keep helping that guy say good things and squeeze out themselves. (To be continued......)
