Chapter 35: Dying Struggle

Sneering and sneering, in order to survive, Xia Meng still had to bow to the capital, and called the delivery master, urging him to send fresh flowers quickly. The delivery master promised to deliver the goods immediately.

On special days like Tanabata, customers who come to the store come and leave one after another. For more than an hour after the door opened, not a single bouquet of flowers was sold. Although Xia Meng patiently explained, he couldn't get a customer who stayed, so he simply hung a sign in front of the door, which said that the business was temporarily closed.

The sign was hung out, and the effect was quite good. Sure enough, no one entered the store again in the morning. Xia Meng, who also saved the province, tried his best to explain one by one.

Looking at the pairs of young people outside through the glass window, it was very sweet. It seems that this world is not only Schumann and Zhang Cheng, only he is alone, and he is an outlier in this world. Xia Meng looked at it for a long time, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

At this time, Xia Meng heard the footsteps and walked into the flower shop, her steps were slow, because Xia Meng was facing away from the door, she didn't see the appearance of the person coming, she only knew that it must be another guest who came to buy flowers, she quickly stood up, and without waiting to turn back, she said: "I'm sorry, it's temporarily closed!" The goods haven't arrived yet, so come back in the afternoon! It's really ......" Xia Meng hadn't finished speaking, and the moment he turned around, he saw someone standing in front of the door, and his voice stopped abruptly.

The man standing in front of the door was wearing a white shirt, an old suit and trousers, and a half-sack of fruit in one hand and a wine bottle in the other. Don't think about it, it's naturally Xia Meng's father, Xia Jiangang.

Xia Jiangang is in his fifties, because of perennial drinking, his legs and feet have long been bad, looking at his scarce hair and staggering steps, some people believe that he is sixty years old. Xia Jiangang piled up a smile that seemed particularly fake, which was particularly polite.

"Xia Meng, it's hard to find your place! I inquired for a long time before I found your community! "Xia Meng has lived with Schumann for four years, Xia Jiangang has not been here once, after all, he has a hangover every day and does not have many opportunities to go out, and it is also because Schumann dislikes Xia Jiangang, so he told him not to let Xia Jiangang come to his house.

Xia Meng didn't know why, she was particularly afraid of Xia Jiangang at the moment, she subconsciously took two steps back, her voice was very soft, and she trembled a little: "Dad, why are you here?" ”

The smile on Xia Jiangang's face seemed to be solidified, that kind of smile made Xia Meng a little hairy, he put the fruit in his hand on the cash register, and said in a somewhat disgusted tone: "Look at what you said, can't your father come to see you yet?" ”

Xia Jiangang put down the fruit, but the wine bottle in his other hand was not put down, he held it in his arms like a baby, and then looked at the flowers in the room with his inconvenient legs and feet, and kept exclaiming: "Not bad, not bad, your place is really good...... Working in the small garden every day, I feel comfortable doing anything! ”

Xia Meng put the Mazha next to him next to Xia Jiangang, and said softly: "Dad, you sit down first, I'll pour you a cup of tea......" Xia Meng lowered his head the whole time, not daring to look at Xia Jiangang.

Since learning that Xia Jiangang sold himself with two agreements, Xia Meng has been dead to Xia Jiangang, and there is no flesh and blood family affection at all, and the only thing that can continue is the name of father and daughter.

But Xia Meng's heart is conflicted, according to Schumann's temper, when he meets such a father, he is afraid that he will have already severed the father-daughter relationship. Xia Meng couldn't be ruthless, thinking that in this world, she was afraid that only Xia Jiangang was the only relative left, no matter what Xia Jiangang was, she couldn't throw away this family affection. Xia Meng can only use this kind of immediacy to maintain Xia Jiangang forever, she is indecisive, and she can't cut the mess with a quick knife at all.

"No, no hassle! I have a ...... of wine" Xia Jiangang didn't seem to have drunk much, he was very sober, and he was so polite to his daughter.

Xia Meng glanced at the wine bottle in Xia Jiangang's hand, didn't listen to him, entered the warehouse and poured Xia Jiangang a glass of water.

Xia Jiangang put the water on the ground, still looking at the shop, which was only about thirty square meters, looking at the furnishings in the room, as if he had something to say, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Xia Meng stood opposite Xia Jiangang, from the time she saw Xia Jiangang enter the flower shop to the present, Xia Meng's heart was depressed, she said coldly: "Dad, you are looking for me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Xia Jiangang laughed a few times, looking surprisingly embarrassed: "It's okay, I just came to see you and bought you some fruit, you only go home once a week, I don't know if you're doing well......"

Xia Jiangang's words, Xia Meng didn't even believe a word. The father she knew never took his good and bad to heart, he was drunk and dreamed of death every day, all he cared about was whether he had enough wine to drink, whether he had enough money to spend, and his daughter was just a machine for him to withdraw money.

"Oh......" Xia Meng nodded slightly, "I'm fine......"

Xia Meng squatted in the flowers, holding scissors in her hand and continued to work, and no longer talked to Xia Jiangang, she understood her father's intention to come here, and she didn't need to think much about it to know that it was just to make herself and Song Huaishu reunited.

Song Huaishu's financial resources are obvious to all, Xia Jiangang dreamed of taking Song Huaishu's long-term meal ticket, and he was also confident that his daughter would follow Song Huaishu in the future, and she would never have to worry about food and clothing, food and clothing.

"Lao Song's side, you haven't contacted him either......" Seeing Xia Meng working with his head down, he didn't say a word for a long time, Xia Jiangang was anxious.

Xia Meng didn't look up, he was still busy with the things in his hands, but he just dropped a sentence casually: "No, it's all divided, why do you still contact?" ”

Xia Jiangang comforted Xia Meng in a soft voice: "It's normal for the two to have a little conflict, although your father and I don't know what happened between you, I have been dealing with you for almost a year, we all know you so well, what can't be resolved, listen to your father, call Lao Song out, it is time to reconcile and reconcile, and then it is time to get married and ......"

If this is a normal person, if it is a small contradiction between the two people in a normal marriage, Xia Meng will accept it. But this was said by Xia Jiangang, facing a person like Song Huaishu, even if Xia Meng died on the spot, he would not turn back.

I don't know why, Xia Meng heard Xia Jiangang's words at this moment, and heard Song Huaishu's name, his already depressed mood seemed to be triggered by something, and the scissors in his hand were suddenly thrown to the ground, turned around, and looked bored: "Two people? What kind of family are I and the person surnamed Song? Father! You should know what's going on with him, right?! ”

Xia Jiangang was stunned, he didn't expect that his daughter, who had been afraid of him since he was a child, would dare to speak so loudly to himself, Xia Jiangang didn't drink much today, otherwise he wouldn't have given up his old face to persuade Xia Meng.

Xia Jiangang roared: "What are you shouting!" What's going on with him, what's going on! I'm introducing you to someone, are you still doing it wrong! Look at how old you are, you look like a dog every day outsider, why don't you take a man home? I'm going to introduce you to someone, and I'm a sinner! ”

"Yes, you introduced me to someone, and I thank you! But don't take his money, do you know how passive you are for me now? The one surnamed Song sued me because of the money you took! You say, "What shall I pay back?" Xia Meng's voice became louder and louder, and the more he said it, the more bitter he felt in his heart.

Xia Jiangang put on a very unreasonable look, pulled his neck and shouted: "Isn't it over if you get back together with him!" How can you have so many opinions from a girl's family! Did Schumann's dead girl influence you? When I see her one day, I have to help her parents educate her! ”

Xia Meng's tears were brushed away, she hurriedly wiped the tears on her face, and her voice was a little choked: "Dad, since Mom left, you have become like this, I have never blamed you, but can you not make me feel that there is no hope...... I...... I didn't expect anything from you...... At least you can leave a thought in my heart, will you? ”

Xia Meng mentioned his mother at this moment, Xia Jiangang was like a bomb, and it was immediately ignited, his already bad legs and feet suddenly stood up at this moment, pointed at Xia Meng with a wine bottle, and shouted: "Don't mention your mother to me!" You're a good guy with your mother! Crying and crying all day long, what a thing! It doesn't go well for me all day long! I'm telling you, I've given you the steps today, and you hurry up and get me down! Hurry up and get back together with Lao Song, or I'll have to kill you! ”

Xia Jiangang's domestic violence against Xia Meng has long been accustomed to Xia Meng, as long as Xia Jiangang is not happy, it will be a violent beating at every turn. Xia Meng was sad at the moment, thinking of her mother, who had already been blurred, the mother who had never given her half of care, and she was fantasizing that if her mother hadn't left her, maybe she wouldn't have been beaten endlessly by her father again?

"Hit ......" Xia Meng's tears couldn't be stopped as if the thread was broken, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Am I still afraid that you will beat me?" What happened to my mom? My mom left us a house with no luck, what about you? Except for drinking all day long, and then beating me and scolding me, do you leave me any good thoughts? ”

Xia Jiangang listened to Xia Meng's words and dared to talk back to himself, he had already drunk wine, and this time the angry wine immediately came up. He stood there and looked around, as if looking for something.

Xia Meng saw it in her eyes, she knew what Xia Jiangang was looking for, and he sneered: "Dad, are you looking for a sickle?" It's not at home, it's not here! ”

Xia Meng's mind is full of those two prenuptial agreements at the moment, she is desperate for the father in front of her, she has been desperately trying to recover the long-lost father's love for many years, it can be said that for her father, she has done everything she can. Only now do I realize that it is just one nightmare after another that is difficult to wake up from.

Xia Jiangang didn't seem to hear Xia Meng's words, he was still looking up and down for the already rusty sickle, his face was angry, and he was still muttering in anger: "You dare to talk back to me...... Dare you mention your mother to me...... On the other hand, you still ......"

Xia Meng doesn't seem to be scared anymore, isn't it just a violent beating? Have you received less over the years?

Xia Jiangang kicked away the pile of flowers in front of him, glared at Xia Meng with a fierce face, he couldn't find the sickle left and right, and he couldn't care about so much, he dragged Xia Meng's hand with one hand, pointed at Xia Meng with the other, and scolded fiercely in his mouth: "You say, do you want to reunite with Lao Song?" Yes! ”

"I won't ever get back together with him if I die! I've already found a lawyer, and you're going to come to court and we'll settle it slowly! ”

Xia Meng was like a turbulent flood breaking through the embankment that had been blocked for many years, and the emotions that had been accumulated for many years broke out at this moment, her sharp eyes stared at Xia Jiangang who looked like a giant beast in front of her, this person was no longer her father, but a bloodthirsty demon!

"Find a lawyer!" Xia Jiangang slapped Xia Meng's face hard.

Xia Meng's eyes suddenly darkened, and before he could feel this pain, Xia Jiangang slapped him again.

Such a heavy slap slapped Xia Meng's face, Xia Meng suddenly didn't know the north and south, his eyes were full of stars, and there were bursts of roaring sounds in his ears, everything in front of him was blurry, and he could only hear Xia Jiangang's words: "Why do you dare to find a lawyer?" ”

Two slaps in succession slapped Xia Meng's face, Xia Meng just wanted to speak, and then felt that his neck was pinched by Xia Jiangang, Xia Meng squatted unsteadily, and one body collapsed and fell among the flowers.

All kinds of needles in the flowers pierced Xia Meng's back, and Xia Meng cried out in pain. Xia Jiangang also stumbled and fell, and he didn't know how to have such strength, he struggled to get up, and grabbed Xia Meng's neck again, Xia Meng had difficulty breathing, and couldn't speak.

"You still dare to find a lawyer! I'll beat you to death! Xia Jiangang was even more angry because of the fall. The roaring voice echoed in Xia Meng's ears like a talisman, and then it was slapped again.

Xia Meng's neck was pinched by Xia Jiangang's hand, and the words that killed him made the helpless Xia Meng panic. She was really afraid that the father in front of her, who looked like a crazy lion, would really beat herself to death!

Xia Meng struggled desperately, screaming weakly in his mouth, and groping around with his hands, but to no avail.
