Chapter 16: The Trap
Huo Yujue punched the pillar, and it seemed that this punch poured out all the bitterness, depression and unwillingness in his heart: "I really can't figure out why she did this......
Xiang Wanqing looked at Huo Yujue's back, she had always felt that he was sunny and cheerful, optimistic and strong, but at this time, she felt that his back was full of indescribable loneliness and loneliness.
Unexpectedly, the young master of the Huo family, who seems to have a wealthy family, no worries about food and clothing, and is the envy of everyone, has such a last resort.
"It's really in response to the old saying: every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." She sighed.
Huo Yujue turned around: "That's right, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, hehe, in the eyes of outsiders, our Huo family should have whatever they want, right?" But in reality, perhaps, we can't get even the simplest and most ordinary happiness.
"I take into account that my mother is old and her health is inevitably not good, and I don't want to disobey her, but my studies and my ideals are ......."
And as soon as she heard Huo Yujue talk about her studies, Xiang Wanqing suddenly remembered the homework in the school she had to interrupt because of her marriage, although she knew that the school she studied was definitely incomparable with the education Huo Yujue received in Beiping, but it was also the most beautiful and valuable thing in her life.
She asked, "I think, what have you learned...... It must be fascinating, wonderful, right? β
"Yes, it's fascinating, it's very good, it's the ideal and goal I've been trying to pursue all my life, it's the profession I've spent my whole life trying to study and learn, and there's nothing more valuable in my life. Moreover, not only did I have my unfinished studies, but there were also teachers and classmates I liked, many like-minded friends, and a beautiful campus......"
Huo Yujue's eyes looked at the sky in the distance brightly, and his thoughts drifted into the distance, the seriousness and concentration in his expression drove Xiang Wanqing, and Xiang Wanqing was influenced by him and began to reverie, at this moment, both of them were wandering in the beautiful and sacred realm that they longed for in their hearts......
After a long time, Huo Yujue retracted his gaze, retracted his mind, and returned to reality.
Sorry for his gaffe, he shook his head and smiled wryly.
However, when the bitterness in my heart is spoken, it is not so bitter, at least I have been vented and released.
"Thank you, thank you second sister-in-law." Huo Yujue said to Xiang Wanqing.
"Thank me? Why? Xiang Wanqing asked.
"Thank you for listening to me, in the past few days when I went home, I kept all my troubles in my heart, and there was no one in this huge family who could confide in my heart, and I told you this today, I suddenly felt much more comfortable." Huo Yujue's brows furrowed and smiled.
"I also want to thank you, thank you for believing in me, and thank you for being willing to share with me about your school." Xiang Wanqing said.
She felt that she had just been led by Huo Yujue to a strange place, where there were no troubles and depressions, no pain and struggle, but there were dreams and longings, beauty and nobility that were not found in reality, and she enjoyed a moment of peace and tranquility there, and she liked that feeling very much.
Both of them couldn't help but laugh.
Huo Yujue understands that now, his ideals have been stranded, his mother is too strong, he can't resist, or he can't bear to confront her, so he has to face the reality.
He knows that if he wants to pick up his dream again and sail to Yang Fan, it will take time and hard work, he will use all his strength to communicate and talk with his mother, he will not give up, and he will not retreat.
But now, he needs to arrange the life of the family and the work of the factory first, as long as the Huo family's industry is operating normally, the life of the Huo family is going on as usual, and his mother has no worries, so she will naturally let him go, he thought.
At this time, the sound of the conversation between Huo Yujue and Xiao Que came from a distance again, it turned out that Huo Yujue was going to catch crickets after swinging, Xiao Que finally caught a few crickets for him but he let them go, and he was grinning and crying at this time.
"That's right, Yujue, I'm trying to find a way to treat Yujin now, I think that since Yujin's illness is not a terminal illness, there must be a way to cure it, I believe that one day, his illness can be cured." Xiang Wanqing retracted his gaze and said to Huo Yujue.
Huo Yujue sighed and shook his head, thinking that Xiang Wanqing was too naΓ―ve, the second brother's illness had been for so many years, how could it be easily cured? But seeing the firmness in her eyes, and really couldn't bear to hit her, he didn't say anything.
"I went to an old Chinese medicine doctor in the town yesterday to borrow a medical book, and I've already read half of it, and I feel like I've already touched a little bit of the trick of Chinese medicine." Xiang Wanqing said happily.
"I've already seen half of what I borrowed yesterday? Do you read at night? Huo Yujue asked.
Being said by Huo Yujue, Xiang Wanqing was a little embarrassed, but her mood was still excited, after all, she was working hard towards her goal, and she felt that she was full of energy.
Huo Yujue felt sorry in his heart, although he had been away from home for a long time, he also knew that the rules and pomp of his family were not ordinary, and now Xiang Wanqing, who was the second young grandmother in the family, must have to deal with things every day, so read a book...... It's just the time to take the evening.
There was another inexplicable thing in his gaze when he looked at Wanqing, what it was, he didn't know.
"Second sister-in-law, since you have decided to treat your second brother, I will definitely do my best to help you, second brother is my own second brother, even you...... If a person who is not related by blood at all can love him and think about him like this, then it is even more incumbent on me. In the future, if there is anything you need help with, just tell me, don't be polite and restrained. β
"Hmm." Xiang Wanqing nodded, her dark pupils full of hope.
At this time, half of the sun has disappeared into the mountains and the sunset, and the light emitted by the remaining half of the outside has become a color of golden yellow and rose, and when it shines on people, it is like a layer of golden and red light.
And Xiang Wanqing's body is covered with such a gorgeous and vivid coat, making her look like a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, holy and beautiful, elegant and generous.
Huo Yujue couldn't help but look at her and smiled.
"Second sister-in-law, ...... tomorrow I'll give you a gift. He said.
The next day, in the Huo family's restaurant, when the Huo family's master was having breakfast, a small servant hurriedly came over and whispered something in the old lady's ear.
The corners of the old lady's smiling mouth returned to peace, and everyone looked at her, not knowing what had happened.
"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter, Yujue," the old lady turned to Huo Yujue: "After eating for a while, you go to the factory for a walk, there are a few workers making trouble, you go and see, it is best to solve it, if it can't be solved, press it down first, and wait for me to come back." β
Today is the fifteenth, and the old lady is going to the mountain to worship God and pray for blessings, which everyone knows.
"I see, Mom." Huo Yujue put down the dishes and chopsticks and said again: "I'm full, everyone use it slowly." He left his seat and walked out, and Xinming followed closely behind him.
Remembering that he had promised to give Xiang Wanqing a gift yesterday, before going out, Huo Yujue glanced back and saw that Xiang Wanqing was concentrating on eating, he pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, but at the same moment, he inadvertently caught a trace of an obscure look flashing on Ning Jinxiu's face.
Huo Yujue was a little surprised, but before he had time to think about it, he walked out of the restaurant.
"Okay, I'm also full, Uncle Li, Mother Wu, it's still the old rule, you two go up the mountain with me, and the family will be handed over to ...... Splendid, and Wanqing, it's been a few days since you entered the door, and you should be familiar with the things at home, just ask if you don't understand anything...... Your sister-in-law. β
"Yes, Mom." Xiang Wanqing replied respectfully.
And Ning Jinxiu was overjoyed when she heard the old lady say that she would hand over the affairs of the family to her, thinking that the old lady was finally willing to forgive her, but after hearing Xiang Wanqing's name next, her heart suddenly became half cold, and the smugness on her face disappeared immediately.
The old lady glanced at Ning Jinxiu, sighed, shook her head helplessly, and walked out with Uncle Li and Mother Wu.
Ning Jinxiu glanced at Xiang Wanqing with a pair of eyes, and there was unwillingness, jealousy, and faint resentment in her eyes.
But Xiang Wanqing didn't feel the hostility from Ning Jinxiu at all, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and left the restaurant.
"Grandma Da Shao, you look at her look like no one in her eyes, and you don't look in the mirror, what is she proud of?" Cui Hong muttered in front of Ning Jinxiu.
"Huh! You're right, you want to fight me? She deserves it?! Ning Jinxiu said hatefully.
"The young grandmother is wise, and the time will come for her to taste the bitterness in a while." Cui Hong smiled wickedly.
"Hmph~" Ning Jinxiu snorted proudly.
At the door of Huo's house, the old lady got on the first sedan chair with the support of Wu's mother, and then, Wu's mother and Dongmei got on the second sedan chair, Uncle Li stepped on a horse, and the rest of the little maids followed the sedan chair and the horses on foot.
The group headed up the mountain.
And inside the door of Huo's house, Ning Jinxiu gave an order: "Close the door!" β
The two vermilion painted doors slowly closed.
And here, Xiang Wanqing took out the medical book as soon as she returned to the room, and the old lady went out today, and there was no place to use her at home, a rare quiet day, she had to hurry up and read a book.
Therefore, she instructed Xiaoque to take Huo Yujin to the garden to swing, and closed the door by herself to read the book carefully.
Just as I was looking at it, I suddenly heard a "bang" on the door, followed by a noisy footsteps, from far and near.
Xiang Wanqing was very surprised, and hurriedly got up to see what was going on, but the door of the house had been kicked open, but it was Ning Jinxiu who broke in with a few people!
I saw Ning Jinxiu dressed in a gorgeous outfit, with a pair of black leather shoes with extremely high heels on her feet, she twisted her hips and swaggered into the house.
