Chapter 213: The Story of the Luo Family
Ruan Xin's body was almost recovered, and when she heard Luo Mu's father call her, she went down to the West House.
Luo Mu dad took a few of us out, stayed in the house for a long time, listening to Grandpa Sun say this and that, I consumed a lot of brain cells, and I couldn't digest this information immediately, I felt a little depressed, the three of us went to the yard, Luo Mu squatted in the yard, with a dignified face.
"What's wrong with you?" I went up and slapped him, and the guy was sweaty all over his neck and his hands were wet.
"You say, what can my father say to Ruan Xin?" Romu asked me.
"How did I know you had such a good brain? You can't even think of it, how can I know. I replied.
"Grandpa Sun, do you know?" Luo Mu just finished talking to Grandpa Sun, but found that Grandpa Sun was already meditating in the courtyard, and there seemed to be four words written on his face, "Don't disturb at this moment."
About half an hour later, Ruan Xin came back from the house, glanced at Luo Mu with a complicated expression, and said, "Your father called you!" Then he turned around and ran.
This goddess was a little embarrassed, I looked at Luo Mu and I, what could make him like this?
"A man, you come in with me!" Romu said to me.
"Me? In case, your father has something to tell you alone! "I don't know if it's appropriate to go in, after all, what Ruan Xin said was "Your father called you!" Instead of "Your dad called you two!" β
"You go with me, you are my father's son-in-law, not an outsider, if you don't go with me, I don't know the bottom of my heart!"
Luo Mu actually said that he had no bottom in his heart! This is the first time I've seen him like this.
I went into the East Room with Luo Mu, and his father saw us coming and opened his mouth.
"Dad won't live long, a man is not an outsider, although I have always disapproved of him, but in my heart I have already put you on the spot as my son-in-law, although Luo Hua said that there is no such blessing for you to marry Mingmei, but you helped him solve the Gu, at least it can be regarded as a husband and wife, my body and bones are not as good as day by day, Luo Mu's matter is not over, I really can't close my eyes."
"Dad, don't say that!" Luo Mu said, looking at his father like this, he felt strange and uncomfortable.
"I know about your mother, you hate me, your mother was beautiful when she was young, and her brain was good, she always looked down on me, so she always looked for women outside, that was all gambling, in fact, I cared about her in my heart, when she was seriously ill, I was not around, and I was stumped by other women, because, because it was a door-to-door arrangement, they didn't let me go back."
"Why?" Luo Mu asked, it seems that Luo Mu's father has not told him the story of his mother before.
"Your mother is beautiful and smart, she can see everything clearly, she is accurate, the men under the official door take her as a character, and listen to her for some things, these men love to run to our house when they have nothing to do, I look angry, so I look for women outside."
"That's because she's smart, and it's completely different from you looking for a woman outside." Luo Mu said angrily.
"But what does this have to do with coming to the door?" I still don't quite understand.
Luo Mu's father smiled bitterly, "You think, there is such a woman under the door, who can twist the men under the door into a rope, how can those people who come to the door not be afraid, so when your mother is sick, they deliberately let other women trip me, I can't ask your mother for a doctor, now think about it, I am really cowardly, I should not care about anything, I don't care about anything, I just follow the door." β
I understand what Luo Mu Daddy means, the higher the power, the more afraid the people below will form a joint force, and the emperor still has a glass of wine to release the fear of military power, not to mention an official door!
"I picked Luo Hua back from the mountain at that time, and it was also because Luo Hua and Luo Mu Niang looked so similar, either it was a problem for the two of us to eat by ourselves, why did we bring back a mouth!"
No wonder Luo Mu cares so much about Luo Hua, it turns out that he thinks Luo Hua looks like his mother.
"Luo Mu Niang's matter, I feel guilty, but guilt is useless, Luo Mu is exactly the same as her mother at that time, whether it is her appearance or brain."
It turned out that Luo Mu completely inherited his mother's genes, and I used to wonder what about it, whether it was in terms of appearance or mind, the father and son were simply too far apart.
Luo Mu's father coughed and continued, "In this official family, it's too smart, it's never a good thing, I don't want Luo Mu to study, I'm afraid that he will go out of the way, it's all for fear of causing trouble for him, as the saying goes, the gun shoots the first bird, in this place of the official gate, you are a miniature turtle, it is much better to live than to be a dragon and phoenix among people." β
Maybe it was the first time that the father and son talked heart-to-heart, Luo Mu's mood eased a lot, he had always thought that his father did not treat his mother's illness, it was deliberate, and today he knew that this was originally a trap under the official door.
The official door is really speechless, and he is afraid of a woman to such an extent.
"Mu'er, Dad knows I'm sorry for you, I said everything I should say today, I just want to hear you say something, do you still hate Dad!" Daddy Luo Mu looked at Luo Mu with begging eyes, wanting to get a trace of his forgiveness.
There Luo Mu bit his lip and refused to speak.
I saw him like this, and quickly dragged him, "What are you doing, your father has said this, hurry up and tell your father!" β
Luo Mu looked at me vigorously, "What did you say?" β
"Say you don't hate it!"
"A man, if it were you, what would you think, even if you were stumped by the officials, should you not save your daughter-in-law?"
"I, thisβ" I was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
However, the current situation is that the old man is sick like this, not only lying, but also having to comfort others, so he dragged Luo Mu aside and whispered in his ear, "Your father is like this, is it so difficult to say that he doesn't hate?" β
After listening to my words, Luo Mu returned to his father's side, and said slowly, "Dad, since I was a child, I have thought more than once, how good it would be if I was not your son, you know, my mother's matter is a knot in my heart, so I have not been able to mind, these years, I said I don't hate you, that's fake, it's just, now I understand, hate, it's also because I care about you, you are my father, you are hurt, I will be distressed, I will be uncomfortable, now I understand, hate and love, just like a pair of brothers, no one can do without whomββ"
Luo Mu paused, "Dad, I hope you understand me!" β
A cloudy old tear flowed from the corner of Luo Mupa's eye, and the old man nodded vigorously.
Luo Mu continued, "Although I don't understand some of your methods, but now I know, the reason why you have been suppressing me is because I am my mother's son, and I am afraid that I will stand out in this official family, this is all for my good, how can I not knowββ"
I remembered that when I took Luo Mu to break into the official gate, Luo Yun saw Luo Mu's puzzled expression, but it wasn't because Luo Mu helped me that he was puzzled, because he definitely knew that Luo Mu was his mother's son, since this was the case, Luo Yun would naturally have some nostalgia for Luo Mu.
Luo Mu has been looking at his father, and his father has been looking at Luo Mu, the two of them have looked at each other like this, and the knot that has separated the father and son for many years is finally untied at this moment, and I actually have a feeling of relief.
There is a difference between people and people, and some people will not compromise because of others, and easily change their positions.
Luo Mu is Luo Mu after all, he has his principles, maybe he can't easily spit out the two words "don't hate" in his mouth, but he said the word that complements "don't hate", that is, "love"!
Human emotions are inherently complex, and since they are complex, how can they be explained in one or two words?
I stood awkwardly beside them, not knowing whether to avoid them or not.
Just when I was thinking about whether to give the two of them a private space, Luo Mu's father opened again, "Mu'er, since a man is here, he is not an outsider, let him be a witness, Dad has one more thing to ask you, promise Dad, even if Dad dies, he can close his eyes." β
Luo Mu's father said to ask Luo Mu for something, and let me be his witness, what is the matter, looking at the old man's exhausted appearance, my nose couldn't help but feel sour.
