Chapter 271: Unspeakable Lies
My parents only found out about my divorce from Xu Mo after half a month. There are no airtight walls.
Hearing the news, his father fainted on the spot, but fortunately, he was in his office at the time, and a colleague who knew his physical condition took out a fast-acting heart-saving pill from his pocket and asked him to swallow it, and then asked his mother to take him to the hospital, and his father survived.
This result is many times better than I imagined. The reason why I have not divorced Xu Mo is that I have not found Hao Junqi, because if I divorced Xu Mo before I found Hao Junqi, my parents would force me to find a partner again. My parents, especially my father, have a knot in their hearts, and they never want me to find a partner to marry in Yangjiang, on the other hand, they are worried about my father's illness.
I never dared to imagine how fragile my father's heart would be when he learned that I was divorced.
It must be pitiful, he stopped.
After my father was discharged from the hospital, he was depressed and called me to go back to Hua'an, but I excused myself from being too busy with work and never went back.
I didn't expect my father to come to Yangjiang in person. I can imagine how much weight this matter has in my father's heart.
That day, on the way back to the "Splendid Future" community, I received a call from Xu Xiaorou from the newly installed landline phone at home.
"Uncle, are you back?" On the phone, Xu Xiaorou asked anxiously.
"I'm on my way back. Can I help you? ”
"There are two old people in our house, and they say that they are your parents."
"Ah," I was taken aback, "when did they arrive?" ”
"Just now. When they saw that it was me, they thought they had knocked on the wrong door, but then they turned back and asked, and I said it was Dr. Cheng's house, and they entered. The way they looked at me made me uncomfortable. The last sentence Xu Xiaorou said very softly, "Are you going home soon?" ”
"It's coming." I say.
"Alright, I'll go prepare the meal."
"Is there enough food?"
"Enough. In the morning I bought fish and cut the meat. Xu Xiaorou hung up the phone.
I was very nervous. Although I knew how hard this incident would be for my parents, I still didn't expect that my parents would come to Yangjiang in person. You know, after I went to work in Yangjiang, my parents only came once when I bought a house in the "Splendid Future" community, and never came back at other times.
Pushing the door in, I saw my father sitting on the couch watching TV. I walked up to him and called "Daddy", but he didn't respond. He was still staring at the TV.
I went to the kitchen. Mother helped in the kitchen. Xu Xiaorou is stir-frying. There is already a dish on the table.
"Mom." I shouted.
"I'm back." Mother replied lightly.
"Daddy is upset, isn't he?"
"What do you say?"
The parents are worthy of being intellectuals, and with Xu Xiaorou present, they didn't say anything. We ate sullenly. I chose the best wine from the wine cabinet, but my father didn't look at it, he just took the bowl and served the rice, so I had to put the wine back in its place. Xu Xiaorou had already felt this abnormal atmosphere, and she didn't say a word, just occasionally glanced at me with her spare eyes.
After eating and drinking tea, when Xu Xiaorou entered the room, the "war" finally broke out.
"What do you mean by Zheng Qihang? Do you want to you off alive? "My father had a loud voice.
"You're quieter." Mother reminded.
"Can I be quiet? Don't you see that I'm holding back until now? "My father's left hand rests on his heart.
"But that's it."
"It's come to this, it's been here, that's how the child was spoiled by you." Father said.
"Yo Yo Yo, why did you talk about me?" The mother's voice also grew louder.
"Who are you talking about? I look like the character of the sail is like you are dead. ”
"You think you have a good character? You don't look at what you've done for your son? "Mother didn't want to let it go at all.
"Am I doing less for my son? But how could he listen to me once? ”
My parents quarreled in front of me. This kind of scene is too familiar to me.
I stared at the TV and listened to my parents arguing.
"Okay," finally the mother took the initiative to ease up, "don't be so excited if you have a bad heart." ”
"Can I not get excited? One day I want you to be to death. Father's face flushed.
There happened to be a scene of a couple arguing on TV. This is a great mockery.
"You're going to be silent when you set sail." Mother said.
"What do you want me to say?"
"Say what? What do you say you want to say? Okay, what are you and Xu Mo divorced? Father picked up the topic.
"Divorce is my business." I say.
"Is it your business? It's just your business? So you left without saying a word? Aren't you my son? You even said it has nothing to do with me? "Father's anger came up again.
"What do you think my divorce has to do with you?" I asked.
"You-"
"Set sail, may you say a word?" Mother said.
"Aren't you going to call me?" I say.
"Did you say you were talking to you and your father?"
"Did I have a fight with my dad?" I asked rhetorically.
"Your attitude."
"I've always had this attitude, it's not like you don't know."
"I call you this attitude!" My father slapped me in the face.
"You fight, you beat me to death, I still have this attitude." I covered my face. There is a hot feeling in the place where the face is beaten.
My father's slap extended the history of his slapping me for five years.
Originally, my father would give me another slap in the face of my unyielding attitude, but my father no longer had the strength to beat me again, and he sat on the sofa. Looking at the way he looks, he should feel tightness in his chest.
"Lao Zheng, what's wrong with you?" The mother panicked.
"Medicine." The father spat out a word.
In a panic, the mother took out a bottle from her bag and poured one into her father's mouth. The father swallowed the pill with water.
I walked to the balcony. The weather outside was sunny and the midday sun looked a little white. There is no one on the sports field located in the small square. There is a kind of flower that I can't name as a flower that is blooming brilliantly.
I went back to the living room and offered to greet my father: "It's better, Dad." ”
"I don't want you to care."
"Tell me, why did you divorce and let your father dissipate his anger." Mother said.
"It's Xu Mo who wants a divorce, not me."
"Is Xu Mo going to divorce?" Mother looked at me.
"Look, it's always my problem in your consciousness," I suddenly felt aggrieved, "you can't accept my attitude, and I ask you to think about it, since I was in junior high school, no matter what happened, you think it's your son's fault, why?" ”
"Why? Why do you say? What have you done to make us worry? "My father was violent again.
"You don't have to say a word." The mother made a gesture to the father, "Set sail, it's not that we parents don't trust you, but that your various actions over the years have really broken our hearts." Tell me, why did Xu Mo get a divorce? ”
"I don't want to talk about it." I sank my face.
"Why don't you want to say it? I'm your mother, son. Aren't we here in Yangjiang today specifically for this matter? Your dad and I are old. Our expectations are on you. ”
"Well, if you don't tell the reason for the divorce, we know it." The father said, "You see if you don't go back once a month, which woman can stand it?" Make it clear that you don't cherish it. ”
"This is determined by the nature of the work that sets sail. He's a surgeon, what's free? "My mother helped me.
"What's the question of whether it's empty or not? Doctors aren't human? Doctors also have days off in shifts. When it was his turn to rest, he couldn't go back. But did he go back? ”
"It's not that I don't want to go back, it's that I can't go back." I say.
"Can't go back. Has anyone held you back? ”
"Dad, please don't always look at me with questioning eyes, okay? Tell you, I've never done anything to be sorry for Xu Mo. "I try to keep my emotions in check.
"But Xu Mo has always suspected that you are sorry for her because you don't go home often, so she has an affair, right?" Mother looked at me.
"Almost." I nodded, "But don't blame her, it's my fault, it's really my fault." ”
"You didn't do anything to be sorry for her, what's wrong with you?" Mother didn't understand.
"I must have done something sorry for others." Father still has that point of view.
"I didn't really do anything to be sorry for her." My voice grew louder.
"Mom believes in you. You told your mother that you didn't do anything to be sorry for her, why did you make a mistake? ”
"We didn't work very well when we got married...... In that regard. I paused. That's all I can say. If I tell them that I can't get close to the opposite sex, as soon as I get close to the opposite sex, the convex ring will flash, and they won't believe it if I kill them.
My parents looked at me in amazement.
"How so?" Father said.
"How so? Okay, how can this be? Mother said.
"So think about what life your son has been doing all these years. Xu Mo filed for divorce the year before last, and I have been procrastinating. I think I'm going to get used to it and I'm getting better, but it's still the same. I spoke in a deep tone.
"Will there ever be such a thing?" Mother looked at my father, then at me, and I turned my head away. "Well, will you and other girls? No, no, I mean, I want to say, you don't have the time to succeed? ”
"I haven't been in a relationship with any other girl." I deliberately lowered my head.
Father breathed deeply. His face tensed. After a long time, he said, "I see." ”
"What do you know?" Mother asked.
"I didn't find the feeling of setting sail."
"Do you still have to feel like doing such a thing? Isn't there a physiological need? According to you, there are still rapists in the world? Mother asked rhetorically.
"That's why I said you don't know your son."
"You know your son, so you should speak."
"Didn't I say that? He and Xu Mo couldn't find the feeling, so they repeatedly failed. Father said.
"That is to say, I have no feelings with Xu Mo, so I physically dislike each other, is that so, set sail?" Mother asked.
"I'm not sure." I felt embarrassed. It would be awkward for any child to discuss this kind of issue with their parents.
"It must be so." Father said.
"Then a girl should change that." Mother said.
"It's worse, it's worse." My father suddenly muttered to himself, and then looked at me with a very complicated look in his eyes.
