Chapter 781: The Past
The so-called deceased is greater, in addition to the emotion of respect, more of a beautification psychology due to the unavailability of the deceased, people will involuntarily ignore the unpleasantness of the past, and only remember the good of that person.
For Zhao Minli, such emotions are particularly strong, she began to be annoyed by the incompatibility between her past and Zhao's mother, and regretted not being able to say at least thank you to her when Zhao's mother was still there. Those bad words and oppression were true, but her existence itself was a mistake, so that she could no longer resent Mother Zhao because of it.
In all fairness, if Zhao Minli was put in the position of Zhao's mother back then, she herself thought it would inevitably be a tragedy. She would not accept a child forced by her husband. Clashes on the spot were all minor, and the most likely outcome was a tragic bloody case with two dead and one wounded.
It is true that Zhao's mother's weakness in front of her husband and the backward thinking in the village were the main reasons for Zhao Minli's adoption, but there is no trace of this, at least before Zhao's father committed suicide, Zhao Minli had a good life for two days.
After the examination, she sat down on the long steps in front of the hospital gate, and the wind in Zhao Minli's ears blew gently through the Buddha, gently like the cool breeze brought by Zhao's mother when she gently fanned her in the summer when she was five years old. At that time, she was still very young, and she was completely dependent on this mother, and she never imagined that the future would be so cruel.
"You are really self-inflicted, being a woman makes people feel that they hate iron and steel, and being a mother is also a mess." She said this in the direction of no one, and her words were not good, as if she was complaining, but her tone was indescribably sad.
Soon after, she found a better day to go back to her hometown, when Zhao Minli walked into the old house, her heart was mixed, she was even a little timid to the point of not daring to go further, it was a wordless fear, from the past she still has that messy future.
Just as Zhao Minli was about to turn around and leave, a slightly timid voice stopped her: "Sister, you're here, why don't you come in." ”
swept this person's tall half-brother from top to bottom, and Zhao Minli couldn't find much of a shadow belonging to Zhao's mother in him. He is actually more like Zhao's father, but when he was a child, he was in poor health and had a serious illness, and since then he has been blown into a balloon under the effect of hormone drugs, so that he does not look romantic at all.
"I'll take a look, and by the way, I'll do some of the things my mother explained before." Zhao Minli only said this.
Zhao Guangzong heard Zhao Minli naturally call his mother, he was trembling and shocked at first, but then he looked at Zhao Minli very calmly, he is indeed a spoiled child, but the previous request for his sister's peace of mind is all based on blood, and now that he knows Zhao Minli's identity, he seems to have grown up overnight.
The bloody truth between the previous generations brought Zhao Guangzong a bigger blow than the death of Zhao's mother, he walked into the house, learned the hospitality he had seen in the past, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Minli, and then said: "You know everything, then can I still call you sister?" ”
"I've been shouting for so many years, and it's so troublesome to change my words, not to mention that we are at least the same dad." Zhao Minli said the second half of the sentence, and her throat was so dry that she had to drink all the tea in the cup, but she was still awkward in her heart, so she simply added: "Although he is really not a good thing." ”
Zhao Guangzong, who had not seen his father since he was born, had very limited feelings for him, so he also nodded in agreement.
Zhao Minli looked at this familiar house, wanting to care about this younger brother a few words, but the two had never been so close in the past, so that the more they listened after they spoke, the more awkward they became, she asked him why he hadn't moved to a new house, he nodded, she asked him how he was doing recently, he still nodded, as if as long as he did something other than nodding, something terrible would happen.
Later, she simply gave up the warmth that made each other uncomfortable and reluctant, and took out a bank card from her bag: "Mom was the most relieved to be you, he always wanted you to glorify the lintel for the Zhao family, but in my opinion, this is really unnecessary, it is better to live how you want." ”
These words are not very good, but inside it is a simple blessing, Zhao Guangzong nodded, and then accepted the card, his expression was a little unnatural, and he wanted to say thank you but it was always difficult to say.
On the contrary, Zhao Minli is very open-minded: "Just think of it as if I have given it to my mother all these years, she has nurtured me, no matter what happened before, at least let me live completely to this day, I deserve to thank her." What's more, I won't be able to use it soon, and I have insurance in my pocket for treatment, and if I keep these, I will only end up with meaningless waste paper and numbers. ”
She said it lightly, but the bank card contained almost all the money she had on hand, and she had now completely abandoned herself, and even gave up on her travel plans.
Seeing Zhao Minli smiling with tears, Zhao Guangzong suddenly felt that the money in his hand was a little hot, and when she began to talk about her future arrangements and let him remember to accept the inheritance, he finally couldn't sit still, and said in a low but firm voice: "I don't want those things, a big man has hands and feet, and he can earn it himself when he graduates." ”
Because of these words, he glanced at him very highly, and Zhao Minli smiled with a little relief: "Then I will rest assured." ”
Zhao Guangzong said again: "Actually, I had doubts about those things before, but I never thought about it deeper, and now I think about it, my mother's temper is indeed traceable." If Mom knows that you are still thinking about her good, I don't know if she will feel guilty, after all, she is really bad to you. ”
Zhao Guangzong knew that not only Zhao's mother, but even he in the past was really bad for Zhao Minli, he used to rely on Zhao's mother's eccentricity and pampered him, and he bullied Zhao Minli a lot, which can be said to be a very bastard.
Because of this, after Zhao Minli was so ignorant of his past suspicions and tolerant that he only remembered Zhao's mother's goodness, he also began to tell some things that Zhao's mother only said to him in the past.
In the city on the other side, Cheng Cheng and Qin Yan had a closed door at the door of Zhao Minli's apartment, they were like a big enemy at first, for fear that Zhao Minli would do something short-sighted because he couldn't stand the stimulation, or Cheng Cheng calmed down first and sent a message to Zhao Minli to ask.
replied to the message almost immediately, Zhao Minli was afraid that Cheng Cheng would find out about her movements and worry about it, so she only insisted that she was in the hospital for a reexamination, so that she didn't have to worry.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and after Cheng Cheng and Qin Yan finished talking to Qin Yan about Zhao Minli's explanation, he left the fruit he brought at the door and left.
Since the two learned that day that Zhao Minli's biological mother was actually Liao's mother who wanted to kill her several times, they felt that the three views of the whole world had been refreshed, and they still felt in a trance to this day, and even involuntarily wanted to test each other's life experiences.
"Do we really have to stop telling her the truth?" On the way back, Cheng Cheng asked like this, although she had reached a consensus with Qin Yan that night, but after experiencing the initial impact, she couldn't help but feel that Zhao Minli was really a little pitiful.
Their self-righteous protection is for her good, but the question is, does she need such good?
Qin Yan looked at the congested road in front of him, and felt anxious in his heart, seeing that the road was blocked for a while and couldn't be dredged, he let go of the steering wheel and replied: "I don't know either, I didn't want to tell her before, because it's better not to know this life experience, the enemy will have a mother once, and normal people can't accept it, not to mention that she is a terminally ill patient." ”
After being a husband and wife for so long, Cheng Cheng can always hear his voice immediately: "You mean that your mind has changed now?" ”
It couldn't be lighter anymore and nodded lightly, Qin Yan obviously couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
He thought of Zhao Minli, who he knew when he was in school in the past, such a flamboyant and confident person, and now he is completely different from the withered and lifeless appearance. That kind of Zhao Minli is strong and able to accept everything, she never gets discouraged and never flinchs, if there is still such a person standing in front of him now, he will definitely tell the truth without saying a word.
A white lie is still a lie, the essence is nothing but deception, Qin Yan understands this truth, he is just afraid that Zhao Minli will not be able to accept it, after all, she does not have much time, rather than suffering any more blows, it is better to leave safely with beautiful illusions about her biological mother.
Holding Qin Yan's hand when he was anxious, Cheng Cheng's movements were soft and powerful, she smiled, and then explained: "I don't know what to do like you, if I put it on something else, I will definitely throw a coin to see the tail, don't you say that you know the real thoughts in your heart when you throw it up?" And guess what, I threw it on the front side and wanted the back, and threw it on the back side to get the front. ”
Qin Yan, who was originally in a heavy mood, almost laughed: "Then according to what you say, what if the coin is erected?" ”
"You're right, next time the coin is erected, I'll hand it over to you and let you solve it." Cheng Cheng's words have the meaning of resignation, but there is really no result in discussion.
Qin Yan couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted to say a few more words, but unexpectedly, she suddenly pointed ahead: "Drive well, the road ahead is finally not congested, let's go home first." ”
"Okay." Qin Yan responded, his heart was full of tenderness, he now regarded his home as the last harbor, if someone dared to tell him ten years ago that he would become a man who loved his family and disregarded his career, he would definitely hit the other party and swallow his teeth, but now he is willing.
The two of them were getting along with each other in the car with warmth, ignorant of the pair of tigerish eyes not far away, they had been so distracted by Zhao Minli's affairs recently that they didn't even notice that they were being monitored.
