CHAPTER XVIII—The Marriage Contract
When Cheerilee and Lan Yi rushed to Master Mo's house, they found that Master Mo was about to go out to Che's house to find Che's father and mother.
"Hey, Cheerilee, where's your father?" Seeing that the old man was gone, Master Mo was very puzzled.
"Dad, he ......" Before he could finish speaking, another tear fell.
The mother also picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "Lan Yi, let's talk about it." ”
Lan Yi was also a little embarrassed: "Master, Uncle Che, he was pressed under a beam, and when I went over to touch his snort, he was no longer breathing." As she spoke, Lan Yi couldn't help but have a sour nose. Rubbed his nose.
"What, old car him, he's dead?" Master Mo stumbled and almost didn't stand firm, he supported the chair with his hand, his pupils tightened, and his heart sank, "It's an old friend for decades, although I have been arguing for half a lifetime, but no one wants anyone to leave, alas, I didn't expect it, old car, you still go ahead of me." Master Mo wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve.
"How do you explain it to Yue'er!" The mother said with a sad face.
"By the way, Master Mo, where is my brother, where is my brother?"
"He, as soon as he came to me, clamored to find you, and I fed him pearl powder, and now he is asleep. Dale is taking care of him now. ”
Then Cheerilee took Che Mu's hand and said, "When Brother Yuechi wakes up, we will discuss how to tell him, and from now on, the three of us will depend on each other." Cheerilee and Mother Cheerilee held hands and leaned together.
"You two and Lan Yi will stay with me." Master Mo said to the mother.
"Okay."
At this point, the mustard between Lan Yi and Cheerilee was eliminated, and the two of them began to sympathize with each other, but Lan Yi obviously felt that Cheerilee was not as happy and confident as before, and finally one day he mustered up the courage to ask Cheerilee: "Cheerilee, are you not happy with me?" ”
"Nope." Although she said no, her eyes betrayed her, and her eyes were always in a state of dissociation, sparkling.
"Tell me the truth, I haven't heard you tell me stories these days, and I rarely see your bright smile, tell me what's wrong with you?" Lan Yi put her arm around Cheerilee's shoulders and made her face herself, but Cheerilee never dared to raise her head.
In the middle of the ring, Cheerilee covered her left cheek and raised her head and asked, "Am I ugly?" ”
"How can you be ugly, I said the day I escaped from the sea of fire that I would always like you."
Since Cheerilee was burned on her face, she has always been unconfident in the face of Lan Yi, she always feels that Lan Yi chooses to be with her because she sympathizes with her, she is no longer the delicate Cheerilee of the past, but a disfigured woman.
"I have never doubted your sincerity to me before, since my face was burned, I have always suffered from gains and losses, and I dare not face this feeling, maybe I think too much." Cheerilee leaned her head gently against Lan Yi's shoulder, and she wanted to indulge in her slightly resolute arms for a long time.
"Cheerilee, the reason why I like you is not just because of your beautiful appearance before, but also because you have a very kind heart, and the so-called beauty of the soul is the real beauty, which no one can take away." Saying that, Lan Yi pulled the cherry on his shoulder into his arms again, "Hereby I promise you that I, Lan Yi, will love you for the rest of my life until death." ”
"Hmm." Only then did Cheerilee burst into a touching smile in Lan Yi's arms, and that smile was as bright as a flame in the past.
In order to make Che Yuechi accept the double blow of Che's father's death and Cheerilee's choice of Lan Yi, Che's mother, Cheerilee and others can be described as painstaking.
Because Che Yuechi would only ask stupidly: "What about Dad?" Where's Daddy? ”
The mother had no choice but to tell Che Yuechi euphemistically that he had gone to heaven to be a fairy.
Che Yuechi asked: "Be an immortal?" That must be very fast, and Yue'er must also be a fairy. ”
Cheerilee was busy playing the round: "Brother Yuechi, you can't go until you are a certain age to be an immortal, you are not old yet, you have to wait for a few more decades to go." ”
"Oh, since the little fairy wife has said so, then I will be a fairy with the little fairy wife in a few decades."
Cheerilee didn't know how to answer now, she glanced at Lan Yi, Lan Yi was naturally very uncomfortable hearing the words of the little fairy wife.
"By the way, little fairy wife, what's wrong with your face? Why is it such a big scar? "Che Yuechi is an idiot now, so he naturally asked without thinking.
"This is burning." Cheerilee covers the left side of her face in embarrassment.
"But although the little fairy wife has become ugly, I don't know what's going on, I still like the little fairy wife so much." Che Yuechi raised his head to look at the beams of Master Mo's house, constantly scratching his head.
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. Especially Mo Dai, I finally thought that Cheerilee chose Lan Yi, and Che Yuechi would look back at himself, but even if he was demented, he never had a nostalgia for himself, but it was Cheerilee, even if she was disfigured, he still loved her to the bone.
"Che Yuechi, can you wake up, Cheerilee, she doesn't love you, it's Lan Yi." Mo Dai couldn't help but pour out the words in her heart.
"No, the beautiful sister lied to me, the little fairy wife likes me, I am his husband, she is my wife, we are all married, she will not like the big brother." Che Yuechi played a child's temper, "Beautiful sister deceives." ”
"That's just to lie to you, people don't like you at all, you stupid!" After Mo Dai said this, she ran out of the house angrily.
"Uncle Che's matter has been explained, and it seems that it will take a while for him to accept this fact for a while." Lan Yi looked at Cheerilee and whispered, "If you want to get your brother's approval, you must first gain his favor, so that he won't reject me too much." ”
In the days to come, almost Cheerilee and Lan Yi and Che Yuechi were with each other, Lan Yi would tell Che Yuechi jokes and play hide and seek with him, and gradually captured Che Yuechi's heart, and Che Yuechi did not reject him as before.
Che Yuechi's attitude towards Lan Yi has obviously changed, for example, he doesn't care so much about Lan Yi and Cheerilee getting close, saying a few more words and many other irrelevant things, maybe Lan Yi moved him, or maybe Mo Dai's words before made him think clearly, Che Yuechi actually has a trace of undetectable intention to match Lan Yi and Cheerilee.
The four of them in the past traveled together to the three of them now, not that Mo Dai didn't want to go, but she always felt that this was the relationship that belonged to the three of them, and she could only choose to have no name in this entanglement of the four people.
And the large burns on Cheerilee's face have also recovered a lot under the rejuvenation of Master Mo's skillful hands, and Cheerilee is in a much happier mood when she is in the window every day, and the mirror appliqué is yellow. However, although the left cheek was covered with herbs every day, it still left a red scar the size of a cherry, which was not so ugly on Cherry's face, but it was very conspicuous.
And Che's mother has been coughing for no reason recently, and Cheerilee didn't care much, thinking that her mother was occasionally feeling cold, but it wasn't until Master Mo took the pulse that she found out that something was wrong.
Master Mo said that the disease may come from a lung infection, or there may be a lung lesion, and you have to go to the provincial capital to see it.
The mother took Cheerilee's hand and said, "Li'er, I know my body, I always feel that this time I am very sick, there may be a catastrophe, if I unfortunately can't be cured, you and Lan Yi must be well, and take care of Yue'er together." Then he took Lan Yi's hand and put the two hands together, "No matter what, I hope you can get married as soon as possible." ”
As she spoke, she coughed again and wiped her handkerchief, which was dripping with blood.
"Mother, I promise you, mother, you are, what's wrong?" Looking at the blood in the handkerchief, Cheerilee was so frightened that her throat was knotted.
The mother didn't say anything more, just sighed.
Two days later, Cheerilee and Master Mo took Che's mother to the big hospital in the provincial capital to see a doctor, and sure enough, the results of the examination surprised everyone, it turned out to be lung cancer, which was already in the advanced stage.
Only after experiencing the blow of her brother's infatuation, her own non-biological birth, and the death of her own daughter's father, etc., she can no longer bear the fact that God wants to take away her adoptive mother, her feet suddenly collapsed and sat on the smooth floor tiles of the hospital.
Lan Yi asked, "Is there still salvation?" ”
The doctor looked at him, pushed his glasses, and hesitated but had to say: "Chemotherapy can prolong her life, but she is also old and can't bear these pains, so it is better to take conservative treatment." ”
"So, there's no help?" Lan Yi couldn't believe it, "How can my aunt be in the advanced stage of lung cancer?" ”
"It's a disaster." Master Mo twisted his beard and said meaningfully.
"How long will my mother live with conservative treatment?" Cheerilee asked the somewhat balding male doctor expectantly.
The male doctor pushed the spectacle lenses again, and said with some hesitation: "The long is half a year, and the short is no more than three months." ”
"Three months?!" Cheerilee's emotions almost lost control, she hid her face and cried, "My mother and I only have less than three months left? ”
"But don't be too sad, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal human nature, little girl." The bespectacled doctor comforts Cheerilee, who is on the verge of collapse.
In this way, the mother of the car returned to the Mo family under the leadership of Cheerilee, and the mother of the car observed the words and feelings, and also knew that she had a terminal illness and that her time was short.
One night, the mother woke up the sleeping Cheerilee and said to her: "My mother knows that her time is short, and now I wake you up to discuss your marriage with Lan Yi, so that I can have an explanation when I return to heaven to see your father." ”
Cheerilee rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Mother, what are you talking nonsense, you are in good health, it's just a minor illness, don't think about it." ”
"For my mother's body, I know that I have been vomiting blood frequently recently, and my chest pain is incomparable, and it seems that I have a terminal illness. I just hope that before leaving, I can see my daughter's marriage matter resolved, and I have fulfilled one of my wishes. ”
Cheerilee hugged the mother and shouted: "Mother, I promise, don't think nonsense, it's important to take care of your body." ”
At dawn, the mother woke up Lan Yi early and discussed with him about her marriage with Cheerilee, and Lan Yi was happy.
"But, auntie, your body ......"
"Leave my body alone, if I drag me any longer, I may not see you get married." The mother coughed again.
In this way, the mother agreed on the day when the two got married, and the originally gloomy atmosphere suddenly rose. Seeing Cheerilee and Lan Yi showing a happy smile, Che's mother also mentioned how happy she was, although the disease was constantly devouring her life, but it was also very gratifying to be able to see her daughter marry her Ruyi Langjun with her own eyes.
