Chapter 22: The Unexpected Heart
I didn't go to Chang'an Hotel, I answered a phone call, and I took a taxi and went straight to Beicheng Airport.
Xu Zhi called me five minutes ago, crying a mess, "Sister, come back and take a look, something happened to my mother!" ”
He only knew how to cry, and he couldn't tell what was going on, so he just sent me a picture.
The scarlet font stabbed my eyes, and the words "Xiaosan" were sprayed on the wall of the corridor with teeth and claws, and I didn't need to look at it to know how serious the matter was. The rotten stuff is exposed to the sun again, and the fishy smell is sure to attract flies.
"Xu Zhi, don't cry, take care of my mother, I'll come back immediately." I said it word by word, and I didn't hang up until I heard Xu Zhi's answer.
Thankfully, I was able to buy a ticket to Cheung Chau, and I arrived in Cheung Chau at 5pm.
In just a few hours, a sea change has taken place.
As soon as I stepped into the community, I felt an unusual atmosphere.
Changzhou is not big, and a little thing can make a fuss.
At this moment, there are many people standing downstairs in my house, all whispering, gathering into a murderous force.
"I can't see that Mr. Xu is such a person."
"I can't say, I don't know the face of the person, but I don't know the heart. looks so beautiful, or from Beicheng, come to our small place to be a teacher, there must be a cat! ”
I stood behind them for a moment and said, "I don't know what's going on, can you tell me about it?" ”
Several people turned their heads to look at me at once, and their faces changed.
You pushed me, and you just left.
"This is a thug, who used to fight."
"Don't pay attention to this kind of person, maybe one day you will be splashed with paint."
They talked about me like this without any scruples, and I didn't care, so I went home.
However, there is no elevator on the seventh floor, and there is paint on the walls of each floor, with words written on the junior, slut, and many insults.
I can't imagine how someone like my mom would feel when she saw these words.
When I got to the door, the door was not closed.
I pushed the door in, and my uncle and Zhang Sufen were sitting on the sofa, all with ugly faces. If you look closely, you can see that the things in the house are shattered, as if they have been robbed.
Zhang Sufen looked up at me, rushed over and said angrily: "It's all your mother's broom star!" We can't hold our heads up! ”
Uncle Xu, who always defends his mother on weekdays, was silent at this time.
I immediately understood something.
"What's wrong with my mom?" I said sharply, "Don't forget, what you said when you begged me for money for treatment!" ”
"Your mom is a broom star, and you're a nemesis. If it weren't for her Xu Qing marrying my son, would my son be sick? Zhang Sufen said very arrogantly: "She should pay this money, I'll tell you." Pack up with your mom and get out of my house right now! Our old Xu family can't afford to lose this person! ”
With an ugly face that goes back on his word, no one does it better than Zhang Sufen. But her attitude is not important, what matters is Xu Chengzhi.
"Uncle Xu, where's my mother?" I looked at him and asked.
Xu Chengzhi snorted for a moment and said in a low voice: "The school is looking for her." ”
"Who's a big fool, you're a big fool......"
I picked up the phone and heard Xu Zhi's panicked voice, "Sister, come to school to save your mother!" ”
As soon as I heard this, I was about to go out at once. After thinking about it for a while, he still grabbed Xu Chengzhi and went with him.
At this time, what the mother needs most is not her husband.
The school was very close to home, and we ran all the way there, less than ten minutes.
My mom taught the first year of junior high school, and it was on the first floor.
From a distance, a group of parents of students gathered at the door, all filled with righteous indignation.
"How can such a woman be a teacher!"
"A who destroys other people's families, get out of the middle school immediately!"
"The school must take a stand today, or we won't leave!"
The scene was so noisy that I couldn't see where my mother was for a while.
I don't know why, someone actually moved his hand.
I saw someone grab my mom by the hair and push her down the steps.
She wore a plain long skirt today, fell to the ground in embarrassment, and someone took a basin of water from nowhere and splashed it.
Xu Zhi rushed out of the building and yelled at those people: "Stay away from my mother!" ”
"Whew! The son of a cheap life is not a good breed! ”
"What about Xu Chengzhi? With such a green hat on his head, can he swallow that breath? ”
I gritted my teeth and walked over and silently helped my mom up. Her face was terribly pale, her knees and arms were covered in blood, and she was crumbling like a paper man.
"Squish." She grabbed my arm and burst into tears.
Xu Zhi couldn't hold back anymore and hugged me and cried. He has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never seen such a scene.
"Yo, this is Su Soft, right?" A tall and thin woman said bitterly: "Do you know that you are the illegitimate daughter of Xu Qing and a rich man?" If you know, how can you still have the face to go back to Cheung Chau. ”
I remember this woman, her husband was a little mistress outside, as long as it was a good-looking woman, almost all of them were a thorn in her side. There are always such people who can't live their own lives well, and they have to pull others down the quagmire.
"Xu Chengzhi!" She saw Xu Chengzhi with sharp eyes, and rushed over to grab the person vigorously.
Uncle Xu was seriously ill and not cured, and the one-meter-seven-eight man was pulled over stiffly, and his face was not good-looking.
"Chengzhi." My mother looked at him, her lips trembling, her eyes filled with hope and helplessness.
"Xu Chengzhi, I heard it clearly. When your wife was young, she was a junior child, so you can do it. The woman had her hands on her chest, and she looked proud.
The rest of the people all craned their necks, waiting for Xu Chengzhi's answer.
Uncle Xu didn't even look at my mother, and said categorically: "There's nothing to say, we are already planning to divorce." ”
"Chengzhi, what did you say?" Mom looked at him in disbelief.
Xu Chengzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Qing, what do you want me to do when you do such a disgusting thing?" ”
My heart is cooling little by little, this is the man my mother handed over to her heart.
For Xu Chengzhi, my mother reneged on her oath and went back to Beicheng, and in order to treat him, she forced me to go back to Tang's house to ask for money.
In the end, he was disgusted.
This incident caused a lot of trouble, and finally the principal came forward to ask my mother to be suspended for a while.
The parents dispersed when they got the news, and their mother hurt her leg and couldn't walk, so Xu Zhi carried her back.
Along the way, his mother didn't say a word, and Xu Chengzhi didn't say anything.
After going back, as soon as she entered the door, Zhang Sufen jumped up, pointed at my mother's nose and scolded: "You woman, how can you still have the face to enter the door of my Xu family!" ”
"Grandma!" Xu Zhi was anxious.
"Xu Zhi, bring my mother to your room." I patted Xu Zhi's arm.
When I went to the room, I kicked Xu Zhi out, I found a towel to wipe the water off her body, and then took out the medicine kit and carefully treated the wounds on my mother's legs and arms.
During the whole process, my mother sat there as if she had lost her soul.
"Squish, why is it like this?" She leaned on my arms, soft and helpless.
I can't help but think of when I was a child, every time she went to Tang's house to see me, she always seemed tough and tall. It was as if as soon as I found out that the Tang family had something bad about me, I wanted to fight with them.
My mother has lived in Changzhou for so many years and has been safe, how could she suddenly be set off by someone.
I was thinking about it when my phone rang, it was Li Zifei.
I stared at it for a while, then picked it up, but accidentally poked the speakerphone, and immediately a familiar voice came from inside.
"Su Ruan, are you in a mess now?"
"If Tang Jingwen hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you were the illegitimate daughter of the Tang family."
"How good is this, if you stab me in the heart, I will let you have a bad life. Give Wenhui a ring, right? Okay, do you still like this great gift I gave your mother? ”
I cut off the phone, turned around, and saw my mother and Xu Zhi standing behind me.
Xu Zhi shouted unacceptably: "Sister, so all of this is because of you?" Because of you, the family has become like this, and because of you, my mother has suffered such a thing! ”
The obvious blame in his mother's eyes, Xu Zhi's undisguised anger and rejection.
I was at a loss for a moment, and felt that the explanations were all pale and weak.
"Mom, I didn't think she'd ......" I tried to say something.
My mother looked at me sadly, "Soft, I told you." After you go to Beicheng, don't be friends with those people, why don't you listen to me? ”
I clenched my fists and whispered, "Mom, I was wrong. ”
"What's the use of you saying something wrong!" Xu Zhiqi shouted: "The whole Changzhou people are scolding my mother for being a junior, and my father is going to divorce my mother, Su Ruan, this family is because you are scattered, I don't recognize you as a sister anymore!" ”
Zhang Sufen didn't know when she came over, and said gloatingly: "Yo, you hurt your own mother by doing it." I said you're a nemesis, you still don't admit it, you weren't quite tough just now, why are you dumb now. ”
Mom, I beg you to say something.
I looked at her with pleading in my eyes. I don't care about Xu Zhi, I don't care about Zhang Sufen, I don't care about anyone's accusations.
Mom, as long as you say a word, it's fine.
