25. Puzzle solving

After talking for most of the day, Qiao Shu saw that there were only four people in the family plus her.

"Where's my dad?" Qiao Shu looked around the house, but Qiao Shibin was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh...... What, your dad went grocery shopping. Wang Mushi said so, and the action of choosing vegetables in her hand was obviously a little more flustered than just now.

Qiao Shu looked at Wang Mushi with some doubts, this is not a lie, the other three people have not spoken, and she has not refutated.

At this time, Qiao Shibin came back from outside, only holding a lunch box in his hand.

Qiao Shu cast a puzzled look at Qiao Shibin. "Dad, didn't you go grocery shopping? How did I come back with a lunch box. ”

Qiao Shibin was overjoyed to see his daughter come back, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but hurriedly put the lunch box away, and his palms were already sweaty. "I didn't have any suitable dishes, I watched the activities below, and the lunch box was not bad, so I bought one and came back."

Qiao Shu touched his forehead, got up from the sofa and walked over, opened the lunch box, and saw obvious oil stains. "This is new?" She looked at the rest of the family, and no one answered her. She looked at Qiao Shibin again. "Dad, who are you bringing food to?"

Qiao Shibin turned to sit on the sofa, Qiao Yongzheng told him that he was not allowed to tell Qiao Shu, Qiao Yongzheng was sick and hospitalized. How can you not say that Qiao Yongzheng is already an old man in his nineties, and once he is hospitalized, it will be as big as the sky. After thinking about it for a while, he looked up at Wang Mushi and received a nod. He looked up at Qiao Shu who was standing at the dining table. "Your grandfather is hospitalized."

"What?" Qiao Shu hurriedly put down the lunch box in his hand and sat down beside Qiao Shibin. "How could Grandpa be hospitalized? Isn't your body good all the time? And why didn't anyone tell me about it? ”

Until now, a trace of wrong thoughts flashed in Qiao Shu's heart, fortunately, it was not her grandmother or grandparents who were hospitalized, and she didn't know why her grandfather always had a lighter status in her heart. Maybe it was Grandpa's poor words from the beginning, but she never understood the deep meaning behind those words.

"When you're old, there's always someone who suffers from three illnesses and two pains. Your grandfather won't let us tell you, for fear of delaying your work. Qiao Shibin sighed.

"What kind of work doesn't work, what kind of job is I. No, I'm going to see Grandpa. Qiao Shu was getting up to leave, but was stopped by Qiao Shibin.

"No, your uncle and his family are here today, let them have a good conversation, and you will go back in a few days."

Qiao Shu stopped at this time, yes, there are too many people, which affects the patient's rest.

Before dinner, Qiao Shu was in the bedroom packing the luggage he had brought back. Lin Yi walked in with a glass of water and closed the bedroom door by the way.

"Drink some water, it will be uncomfortable for a while."

Qiao Shu took the water glass and sat on the edge of the bed. "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yi pulled a chair in the room over and sat in front of Qiao Shu. Thinking of Qiao Shu's appearance looking at him with red eyes today, he felt a little self-blamed. "I wronged you today?"

Qiao Shu took a sip of water, his heart was much more comfortable, and the discomfort he had been holding back was probably visible to Lin Yi and Jiang Xirong. "I'm not wronged, I didn't do it right."

Lin Yi wanted to pat Qiao Shu's head like he did when he was a child, but the little girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old back then was now a big girl who was almost twenty-six years old, where could he still pat his head like a little daughter. "Before you got home, I saw her apologizing to your mother and was on her knees. I've heard of her bad things before, let alone you, I'm an observer who gritted my teeth, not to mention that you have experienced it yourself. But as a teacher, I can only teach you to be a generous person, a person who does not hold grudges, and the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, so don't worry about it. ”

How difficult it is to be a person, joy, anger and sorrow can not rely on what you think, love and hatred should be linked to your character, maybe it is a disguised way to protect yourself, too real things are exposed to the outside, you will be firmly grasped, and you will be caught by others to use your shortcomings, and you are powerless to fight back.

Qiao Shu could imagine Wang Mufu crying and kneeling in front of Wang Mushi and shouting that I was wrong, but she didn't have any pity in her heart, and even felt ridiculous. Lin Yi's teaching, is it to let her go? More than ten years have passed, and she will never forget Wang Mufu framing her mother and destroying her family harmony, let alone that night 20 years ago.

It was winter, it was snowing heavily, and it was the first time she had seen such a big snow in Jianghong, when she was only six years old, and she had just learned to walk not long ago. Qiao Shibin and Wang Mushi both went on a business trip, and the old man was not in good health, so he had to entrust the young Qiao Shu to Yu Zhiming and Wang Mufu and his wife.

Before Wang Qiao left, he asked Wang Yu to take good care of Qiao Shu, she was young at the time, and she still liked this little aunt and uncle, and she didn't have much contact, so she felt that she should be as amiable as the second aunt and second uncle. But the reality is completely different, and that half a month was a nightmare of her childhood.

Yu Zhiming is not only a good gambler, but also drinks, and when he loses the gamble and gets drunk, he goes home to go crazy, but he has never moved a finger from Qiao Shu, and he has no bad words. But she was just scared, and every time she crouched in the corner and shivered.

One day, Yu Zhiming won a rare bet, and he hadn't drunk yet, but he was happy to come home. But as soon as he saw Qiao Shu, he pointed at her and scolded: "I really don't know what your mother did when she gave birth to you, she can't do anything, and she has to provide for you like an ancestor." One day shivering, shaking so upset Lao Tzu! What a bad luck! ”

Qiao Shu didn't dare to reply, she didn't even have the courage to stare at him, she could only hold her hand and not let it shake too much, and she tried her best to control the tears in the corners of her eyes. Every time I think of myself at that time, I get angry and angry that I was weak and incompetent.

Then Yu Zhiming took Wang Mufu and Yu Kang to eat at a relative's house next door, leaving her alone at home, and didn't even leave her food. The cold wind was blowing outside, Qiao Shu was cold and hungry, she lay down by the window, the snow outside was really heavy, so beautiful, she also wanted to go out to build a snowman and have a snowball fight, but she was afraid that she would get her clothes wet and be scolded by her aunt. They finally came back, Qiao Shu thought that he could have something to eat, but Yu Zhiming came back and didn't seem to find anything, glared at Qiao Shu fiercely, strode over, and slapped Qiao Shu's little face.

"Little rabbit, did you steal Lao Tzu's wallet! Lao Tzu has been giving you food and drink for the past few days, and you dare to steal! ”

Qiao Shu was beaten, stars even flashed in her eyes, and when she heard Yu Zhiming's angry scolding, she shook her head again and again. "No, no, I didn't steal." Her voice was small, tears streaming from the slap marks on her face.

"I was there before I left, and when I came back, it was gone. You're alone in the family, who else would it be if it weren't you? Didn't Lao Tzu just say a few words to you, you actually retaliated. I don't learn well at a young age. As he spoke, he squeezed Qiao Shu's ear hard. He turned to Wang Mufu again and said, "Strip all her clothes for me!" ”

Wang Mufu hooked the corners of his mouth with a sneer, walked towards Qiao Shu, didn't care about her resistance at all, took off her clothes and pants, and slapped her if she resisted.

Little Qiao Shu instantly had several slap marks on his face, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his hair was even more messy. Her skin was white, and she was naked in front of them like a snow-white ball. "I didn't steal, I really didn't steal."

Didn't find the wallet from Qiao Shu's body, Yu Zhiming pulled off the belt around his waist and pointed at Qiao Shu again. "Little bunny, where did you hide your wallet!"

Qiao Shu was trembling all over, she shook her head again and again, but it did not dissipate Yu Zhiming's anger, and even angered him.

Yu Zhiming picked up Qiao Shu and beat her buttocks, the belt marks were clearly visible, and there were several places on her body that were twisted by Yu Zhiming. But Wang Mufu, as her sister-in-law, and Yu Kang, as her cousin, did not intercede for her, and even fanned the flames next to her, and Yu Zhiming beat even harder.

Where did Qiao Shu get beaten like this, tears flowed down in large pieces, dripping wet Yu Zhiming's pants. I silently thought in my heart, Mom and Dad, I want to go home.

Yu Zhiming was tired, and seeing that Qiao Shu was still sure that she didn't steal, he took her out of the door, she was not dressed, the snow was still falling, Yu Zhiming asked her to kneel in the snow. "When will I tell me where my wallet is, and when will I go home!"

She was a six-year-old child who had just been beaten up, and it was only a matter of time for her to kneel outside naked. Despite this, she kept saying "I didn't steal anything......"

Yu Zhiming finally found his wallet in Yu Kang's schoolbag, according to his character, Yu Kang naturally couldn't avoid a beating, but he was not as ruthless as Qiao Shu, not as poisonous as Qiao Shu, and Wang Mufu begged bitterly beside him. By the time they remembered Qiao Shu, she had already fainted in the snow, and her whole body was hot.

Yu Zhiming took her back, and Wang Mufu immediately dressed her and took care of her. Qiao Shu was fine after a week, and the injuries on his body couldn't even be seen, and they were as snow-white as before. But she had nightmares every night, all she dreamed of was Yu Zhiming's insults and scolding to her that night, and Wang Mufu added oil and vinegar to the side.

Later, Qiao Shibin and Wang Mushi came back and picked up Qiao Shu, and saw that Qiao Shu was not only not thin but also fatter, and he was very happy. Before leaving, Wang Mufu whispered in Qiao Shu's ear: "If you dare to speak out, you can see how I clean you up." ”

Qiao Shu naturally didn't say it, not that she didn't dare, but she felt very ashamed, especially embarrassed, so except for Yu Zhiming's family and her, no one knew about it. This is a knot in her heart for 20 years, and it is the reason why she has always refused to forgive Wang Mufu.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shu's eyes turned red again, and she raised her head to look at Lin Yi. "Teacher Lin, if a person gives you not only a physical insult, but also a mental insult, will you forgive him?"

Seeing that Qiao Shu was silent for a long time before speaking, and it was like this again, Lin Yi knew what she remembered again, and this matter hurt her deeply. Lin Yi didn't know how to answer her for a while, but what he had been teaching her was positive and positive, and he had never discussed this kind of question. Maybe he should really think about it, if it was him, would he forgive Wang Mufu? Thinking about asking her to forgive Wang Mufu today, is it too embarrassing for her, what he said was already half an order for Qiao Shu, and she could only reluctantly respond.

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't speak, Qiao Shu smiled and shook his head. "Teacher Lin won't either, will he? The things that Wang Mufu and her good husband did, I will never forget in my life. Teacher Lin, I remember what you taught me, but Wang Mufu really doesn't deserve to treat her with that. ”

Lin Yi didn't refute Qiao Shu's name by calling Wang Mufu, he also agreed with Qiao Shu's words in his heart, some people should not be forgiven, especially those who repeatedly use their feelings to hurt themselves. He met Qiao Shu too late, he didn't know how much Qiao Shu had experienced in his childhood, she must have something not to say, since she didn't want to say it, it was the deepest pain in her heart. "Qiao Shu, maybe you're right. If it were me, I would probably be like you. My words are overtly persuasive, but secretly they are persecution. The teacher apologizes to you, I'm sorry, you shouldn't accept things that people you don't like don't like. ”

"Teacher, you don't have to apologize to me. Speaking of people you don't like, Song Mingsu was arranged by you at the beginning, right? Qiao Shu didn't want to mention this name, but she wanted to open all the mysteries in her heart.

Lin Yi was silent again.

"From the moment I started training, Mr. Lin, you invited him as a helper, and I could see it. He's definitely not here to help, and you know that I'm a person who values feelings, and I can't continue to be cold to him after a long time together. Also, this time I went to Shangjiang, and Song Mingsu arrived at the end of the line exactly and waited for me, so you also secretly helped, right? Qiao Shu said Lin Yi's heart in every word, and she should be grateful to Lin Yi, without Lin Yi, she would not have fallen in love with Song Mingsu, even if the result was not good.

Lin Yi grinned slightly. "I just think Xiao Song is a good person."

Qiao Shu actually nodded in agreement, her heart still ached faintly when she talked about that person. "Don't talk about him." She looked at the water glass in her hand, and there was another question in her mind, and she didn't know if her guess was right. "Teacher Lin, I still have something unclear, I hope you can tell me the truth."

Today they were going to talk from the heart, and the teachers and students hadn't sat down to talk for a while. "I know everything."

"When I was competing in Shangjiang Ma Rongshan, I was treated as a professional athlete, and the staff would take care of me intentionally or unintentionally. Why is that? Qiao Shu looked at Lin Yi's eyes, hoping to get an answer.

But Lin Yi avoided Qiao Shu's gaze and did not look directly at her. "Maybe it's because you're alone, and the investors are kind."

Hearing such nonsense, coupled with Lin Yi's eyes, Qiao Shu chuckled. She put down the cup, squatted in front of Lin Yi, and pulled his rough hands. "Thank you, Mr. Lin. I have always regarded you as a father, you help me everywhere, you never ask for help, this time I am afraid that I lowered my posture to say good things. I really can't repay it. ”

Sure enough, he couldn't hide it from her, Lin Yi looked at the person in front of him, he was so likable, he could obviously be the proud daughter of the sky, but he suffered a lot. "You guessed it. I know you want to be independent, you want to prove yourself with your own efforts. But as you said, you regard me as a father, why don't I treat you as a daughter, how can a father bear his daughter to fight alone? ”

When Qiao Shu heard this, he was completely satisfied, all the troubles before were gone, and he regarded her as a daughter, which was enough. "Thank you, I won't let you down. You can look forward to the day when I hold the trophy on the screen. ”

Qiao Shu leaned on Lin Yi's knee, if it was really father and daughter, such a scene would be enviable.
