Heartfire Chapter 22: The Bones in the Egg
Recently, Qiu Feng has moved some bits and pieces one after another.
In order to hide the last time she took Wu Bing home, she even had to move out of Banjinghuayuan to defend her love, she usually likes to talk about money in everything, but now in love, she has become not like herself.
In this relationship without marital security, it is her choice, and she chooses to leave room for herself.
Seeing her this time, he packed a few large boxes and ordered Ah Mao Chang to help her move downstairs and load them in the car to take them away.
"Is your mother moving somewhere else?" I leaned against the door and looked at Jin'er, who was lying on the bed reading a book carefully, and her heart was unwavering.
"They've almost all moved away." Jin'er put down the book and looked at Qiu Feng's busy figure outside the door.
"Did you just move away?" I walked over to her bed and sat down.
"So what's not? Am I going to go with me? Jin'er looked at me with a blank expression.
Despite the indifferent expression on her face, I could still feel the waves in her heart, the thoughts in her eyes, I couldn't hide anything, and as soon as she opened her eyes, I knew everything.
I spent the afternoon in a coma until dusk.
On this day, Su Wei had to help in her mother's factory, and I didn't have time to come back for dinner, I couldn't see Su Wei, Qijun was not there, no one told me to get up, and my mood was very impatient, like experiencing an unhappy day.
I walked out of the room and saw Qiu Feng eating dinner slowly, watching that more than half of the dinner time had passed, Su Wei was not there, and I was bothered by the disappearance of Qijun recently, and I was even more restless.
When I saw some leftover meals, I knew I was oversleeping.
I went to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot, and found that no one had left food for Suvi.
"Wu Xu, next time help me leave a meal for the young lady." I saw Wu Xu cleaning the spoon.
"Okay, no problem."
I took out a bowl from the cupboard and went out to leave the vegetables for Su Wei, Qiu Feng squinted at me, and then looked at the dishes in my bowl, I used my chopsticks to pry open the chopsticks in front of Qiu Feng, and found a few pieces of whole meat from some leftover meat, at this time, Qiu Feng had already put down the chopsticks and watched my every move.
After a while, she pointed at me with chopsticks: "What is your attitude?" ”
I didn't say anything and continued to pick up the dishes.
"If you have the ability, move out."
"Do you think we'd like to see you?"
"However, Teng Zhi and Su Wei don't have any skills, so they can only be here, looking at our faces." She continued to speak to herself as she ate.
I didn't turn on the light, held the lid of the pot, and looked at the dishes in the bowl.
I held back my tears while picking up the dishes in the bowl with my chopsticks, praying in my heart that Su Wei would go home soon, and wiped away my tears while listening to the dirty words that came out of her mouth. I was very scared, and I couldn't understand why I was alone and used the uneducated way of picking up chopsticks to ignite Qiu Feng's long-standing resentment against us, which was even more troublesome for Su Wei.
I kept counting down in my heart, and when I counted to one, I went out, and I don't know how many threes, twos, and ones, but none of them gave me the courage to go out. After half an hour, Qiu Feng stopped scolding, one, I really came out.
"Dead thing." As I passed behind Qiu Feng, I only heard this sentence, and although she spoke very quietly, I still understood it clearly.
With a bang, I closed the door to the living room.
"What are you arrogant about?" I only heard Qiu Feng speak loudly.
"Follow your mother's example."
"No education at all."
I closed the door and leaned against the door, holding my face with both hands, pressing my eyes with my palms, squeezing my nose with both hands, and the tears that I couldn't stop stained with the salty smell of my palms. I took a deep breath, inhaled a mouthful of snot, closed my eyes and raised my head, tears gushed out like a spring, I suddenly felt my head, throat, and body all heavy, until I felt uncomfortable breathing, my head was pressed like a swelling pain, and Qiu Feng's every word was weighing me heavily.
I bent down, crouched down, wrapped my hands around my thighs, and buried my whole head in my arms. I don't know how long it took, but Ah Mao Chang came back, and he saw me squatting on the ground, and he also squatted down and stared at me.
Suddenly, it went dark and I felt like I had fainted.
When I woke up, I was already lying in bed, the endless blackness in front of me made me feel like I was drowning in water, I couldn't breathe, I wrapped my whole body in the quilt, I grabbed my throat so hard not to make it make a sound, I couldn't let anyone know that I was crying, I couldn't let her find out that I was cowardly, the fear in my heart, my heartbeat.
"Mother, where are you?" I prayed, longed, and hesitated in my heart.
I didn't dare to confront Qiu Feng.
At any time, I can only tell Qiu Feng by the sound of slamming the door and making noise that I hate her, and what she said to me was excessive, and I even expected her to apologize to me and restrain me in the future.
April 18th was Grandma's death day, and early in the morning, everyone became busy.
"Is the ingots folded?" The law asked Qiu Feng.
"It's broken, have you brought all the things? And what about paper houses? Qiu Feng asked.
"Here, give your grandmother a good time." Ritsu said with a smile, sounding a little funny and a little serious.
"Tear up the talisman you stuck to the gate." The law pointed to the talisman, which was sealed on the ingot, but Teng Zhi took it and pasted it on the gate, saying that it could be a town.
"The fortune teller said that grandma was afraid of this talisman and did not dare to enter the house to eat."
Qiu Feng and Xinwen immediately looked over.
Jin'er and I were at home, and the adults went out to the mountain to worship Grandma.
At this time, the servant has already made small balls of red date lotus root powder, and we lie on the sofa to read a book, enjoying the time when the adults are not there.
Accidentally, I fell asleep and woke up just in time to hear the sound of adults talking.
"Knock." Xinwen knocked on the door continuously.
"Why is it so slow, the ears are deaf, right?"
Serve others to slap yourself hard, and bow your head vigorously to admit your mistake.
I looked at Xinwen, paused for a few seconds, and then opened my mouth.
"Hello sister-in-law." I say.
Xinwen nodded.
I watched her walk straight to the living room to lay down what was left of the worship, and then the others passed by me, they looked tired, their clothes soaked with sweat, and even the wind that passed by gave off the heat and smell of sweat.
"Why didn't you see your father?" I say.
Su Wei said that Tengzhi met a friend halfway through, so he got in the car and went to Huaiji.
Looking at a large chicken on the table, I quickly opened the kitchen door and wanted to go in and get a bowl to leave food for Su Wei.
"Miss Xining, do you want to leave the food for Madame?" Wu Xu asked.
"I'm still busy, I'll leave it for you when I'm done."
"It's okay, I'll do it." I say.
The oil smoke inside was so big that the smell of chili oil choked me and I coughed up phlegm, so I covered my nose and quickly grabbed the bowl.
When I was about to reach out for a piece of chicken with my chopsticks, Xinwen stopped me.
"What are you doing?" Xinwen looked at me sternly.
I retracted my chopsticks in fear.
"I'll give it to my mother." I say.
"Why did you clip it, and you didn't buy it, I bought it." Xinwen said.
Suddenly, my eyes were so choked and astringent.
I moved my chopsticks to the plate next to it, and it was full of sliced meat.
"You can't clip anything else, did you pay for it?"
I quickly grabbed some dishes and put them in the cupboard, Xinwen didn't have time to stop me, I ran to the kitchen, put the dishes in the cupboard, put the chopsticks away, and covered the cupboard.
"Miss Xining, why do you have so few dishes? Is there enough for the young lady? Wu Xu asked.
I bowed my head and said nothing, turning to leave.
"I'm not eating." I said to the Ryu and ran back to my room.
"What are you doing?" The law says.
I saw him peeking out of my door and leaning in to look at me.
"I just don't want to eat it." After saying that, I hid my head in the quilt.
"You'd better starve to death if you don't eat."
With that, the law closed the door.
"Grandma, the children burned millions of dollars for you today, as well as the villa, you have to go home often."
The law held three incense sticks and worshiped the heavens and the earth, and the rest of the people bowed three times behind them.
Through the quilt, I heard the laughter outside, but none of this had anything to do with me, and I couldn't help but cry.
I heard footsteps, Su Wei came back, I lifted the quilt and stretched out my head to look, I heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, I quickly hid my head in the quilt.
Su Wei came in and lifted the quilt.
I didn't say anything, curled up together, and turned around to hug Su Wei's thighs.
"Mother, I'm sorry I didn't leave you any more food."
"There is no meat left for you to eat, only vegetables." After saying this, my heart hurts even more, what should I do, Su Wei, I don't want you to know my grievances.
"Why are your eyes red? Why are you crying? Is someone bullying you? Su Wei said, holding my head, and then leaning her face on my head.
"In the future, if your mother doesn't come home at night, you don't have to leave food for her, you know?" Su Wei said.
I shook my head vigorously.
"What the hell is going on? You tell me. "Su Wei wanted to look me in the eye, and kept trying hard to pull me out and make eye contact with me.
I really want to speak, I want to tell Su Wei everything about everything, but I can't, saying it will trigger a new outbreak.
I couldn't speak, and one hand grabbed my throat.
In the end, under Su Wei's persecution, I still spit out all my words, and this time, I can finally cry with confidence.
As soon as the words fell, Su Wei got up and walked out of the room, closed the door, she walked to their room with a kick, I got out of the quilt, wanted to hear some conversation through the crack in the door, I could only hear some noise, their conversation, I couldn't hear a word, I gently rotated the doorknob, opened the door little by little, and was about to stick my head out, the sound of "bang" closing the door scared me, I immediately retracted my head and gently closed the doorknob out.
"You're going to die." This sentence came out of Su Wei's mouth.
Su Wei pointed to their door and scolded, only to hear them scolding in the door.
I immediately jumped on the bed, slipped my foot, and slipped into the covers.
Su Wei opened the door, locked it, sat down next to me, and lifted the quilt.
"Sissy, it's okay, there's a mother here, don't be afraid."
I buried my head in Su Wei's arms and felt the warmth of this moment.
