Chapter 21: Asking for Help
Xinlan collapsed to the ground, startling Fusheng. He hurriedly supported Xinlan with his arm, placed Xinlan on the stool, and saw that Xinlan was fine, so he hurriedly picked up Lu Dong on Lao Gao's back, and Lao Gao excused himself and directly carried Lu Dong to Lu Dong's room and put him on Lu Dong's bed.
The two came out, and Fusheng thanked him and asked Lao Gao Ludong about the situation. Lao Gao told Fusheng while humbly: "Drink alone!" I think this child must have encountered some difficulty, and his heart must be very painful. Wait for him to wake up and ask him, don't let him be bored in his heart and get sick. ”
Fusheng agreed, and then asked Lao Gao Ludong how much money he had.
Lao Gao said: "I didn't eat anything, a plate of peanuts and a bottle of wine, let's count it when Lu Dong wakes up later!" After speaking, he refused Fusheng's retention and left.
Seeing that Xinlan was frightened and weak, Fusheng went to the house and poured a cup of tea out, let Xinlan drink it, and sat for a while before Xinlan's consciousness stabilized.
Xinlan, who woke up, was worried about her son who had drunk too much, so she went to Lu Dong's room, took off Lu Dong's shoes to help Lu Dong lie down, and asked Fusheng to pour a bowl of tea and put it at the head of the bed, and then came out.
The two of them calmed down, looking back and thinking about the restlessness of the six gods who had been affected by this incident for a day, and they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts. Now that Lu Dong has this situation, he is psychologically tormented, and the parents not only can't help, but instead become the two initiators, asking themselves, they can't help but blame themselves. can blame oneself for oneself, Lu Dong and Liu Qin's divorce cannot be compromised, this is non-negotiable. What's next? The two discussed and discussed, and there was only one way, that is, as Xinlan originally said, she personally came forward and asked Guizhi for help to withdraw from the marriage. There's no way around it. In fact, Xinlan herself was also psychologically resistant, she couldn't accept this errand, and she didn't know how to tell Gui Zhi. She really couldn't tear this face apart. But there is no way, this red face is only played by her.
Gui Zhi has always had a good impression in Xinlan's heart. This time he helped Lu Dong say something, and the relationship between the two became invisibly closer. However, it was precisely because of the unusual relationship that Xinlan felt that she couldn't say it, she knew that Gui Zhi and Liu Qin had a good relationship, Liu Qin's father was the brigade accountant, and Gui Zhi swore in front of Liu Qin's parents, she was really worried that her withdrawal from the marriage would bring disadvantages to Gui Zhi and affect Gui Zhi's mother's family. She also felt sorry for Guizhi, Guizhi had worked so hard so many times, she had never expressed it, which made her feel guilty all the time. And now that he wants to beg her to do something embarrassing, how should Guizhi treat herself? She couldn't imagine it.
After dinner, Xinlan came to Guizhi, because she felt guilty, Xinlan specially bought a lot of gifts to make up for the guilt in her heart.
Guizhi had finished eating and was cleaning up the kitchen. Seeing Xinlan come in with a gift, the family was quite surprised, and said nothing. Xinlan didn't comply, tore it and put it on the table, saying that she had something to ask Gui Zhi for help, and she couldn't open her mouth if she didn't accept it. Guizhi's family couldn't see it, so they stopped arguing. Haihai went to the kitchen to clean up for Gui Zhi, Gui Zhi led Xinlan to his house, poured tea for Xinlan, and when Xinlan sat down, he asked bluntly: "Auntie, what's the matter with me?" As long as I can do it, I will definitely help. Gui Zhi spoke quickly without the slightest hesitation.
Xinlan looked at Gui Zhi, wanted to speak and stopped, and said after a long time: "Gui Zhi, there are some things that I can hide from anyone, but I can't hide it from you, but let me tell you, your aunt and I really can't open my mouth!" ”
Gui Zhi looked at Xinlan with a look that was difficult to speak, and when she heard Xinlan say this, she felt that it was not a good thing in her heart. But at this point, it's not okay not to ask. As the saying goes, it is a blessing not a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. What should come will come after all, so he asked in a heart: "Auntie, just say it, don't worry, the spear comes to the shield, and the water comes to cover it." ”
Hearing Gui Zhi say this, Xin Lan said: "Gui Zhi, you and I really can't say this, you and I have such a good relationship, I'm really afraid that if I say it, you will be angry with me, I want to come and think about it, but I don't say it." Don't blame your aunt. Recently, our family may be moving back to Xijing, and our neighbors won't be able to do it, and I feel so uncomfortable. ”
When Gui Zhi heard this, he thought it was the case, put down his heart, and said with a smile: "I thought it was some bad news!" This is a good thing, as long as you and my uncle can go back to the city, what's wrong with not being neighbors, if you miss you, I will go to the city with Haihai to see you and my uncle, and you can also go to the big city to visit, how beautiful! This opportunity is great! This is a happy event, and it is time to celebrate. Gui Zhi spoke like eating fried beans, and Xinlan was not allowed to interject, and finished in one breath.
Xinlan listened to Gui Zhi's words, and then said: "If it's just that, what else do I have to worry about, I'm worried about Lu Dong and Liuqin." ”
Gui Zhi heard that Xinlan was worried about Lu Dong and Liu Qin, thinking that he was worried about Liu Qin and Lu Dong, so he didn't wait for Xin Lan to finish speaking and intercepted the words: "Aunt, don't worry, although Liuqin's family is only a girl for her, please rest assured, if you move back to Xijing, Liuqin will never blow with Lu Dong, you don't know how good the relationship between Lu Dong and Liu Qin is, if you know, you will believe what I say." As for her father, you can rest assured that her parents say nothing to Liuqin, listen to Liuqin, and will not hold on to her because of her daughter. I can pack a ticket. ”
Xinlan saw that Gui Zhi had never understood what she meant, and she couldn't speak in words, so she thought about it and simply said, "Gui Zhi, it's not what you said." This time, there are policy stipulations. Regardless of whether Lu Dong and Liuqin are married or not, Liuqin cannot move away. When they get married in the future, the two of them will live separately in two places, running back and forth for the rest of their lives, and they are so far away, when Liuqin is in the countryside and Lu Dong is in the city, everything at home will be borne by Liuqin alone, needless to say, there is no one around to say that he has a confidant. The time is short and bearable, but after a long time, it is inevitable that conflicts will occur. There will be no happiness at that point. Besides, it will also have an impact on Lu Dong's future employment. What I mean is that long pain is better than short pain, and while the relationship time is short now, I discussed it and retreated. Where do you see? Xinlan said her thoughts in one go.
Gui Zhi listened, only then did she know what Xinlan meant, and she panicked, she didn't expect Xinlan to say this, if she really wanted to retreat, she didn't know what to do, how should she tell Liuqin's parents then? After thinking for a while, he said: "Auntie, Lu Dongliuqin has a short relationship and a fast relationship development, it can be said that the two of them fell in love half a year ago, and it's a pity to blow it." Isn't there a way not to blow it? ”
Xinlan said: "Guizhi, I wish there was a way and I didn't want them to retreat, I also fell in love with Liuqin, but there was really no way." I know you blame your aunt and me in your heart, but what should I do if I don't do this, this is also related to the happiness of their lives. I also think about them so that there will be no problems in the future. Besides, I can't leave Lu Dong here alone like his brother! ”
Gui Zhi heard Xinlan say this, thought for a while and said, "Auntie, I understand what you mean, what do you say you are going to do?" ”
Hearing Gui Zhi say this, Xinlan saw hope, so she said: "I mean this matter has come out, if you don't think about it, you can't do it, for the sake of both parties in the future, you can only withdraw from your relatives." Since we're sorry for others, we have to have an attitude, so I want you to apologize on my behalf and express it. ”
When Gui Zhi heard this, he was annoyed, he wanted to have a seizure but felt that it was useless, and he didn't know how to express it, so he thought for a while and said, "I can't get rid of the responsibility of the thread I pulled." Just to be honest, this time it really bothered me. Liuqin and I have a good relationship, I want to be good for her, but I didn't expect to do bad things with good intentions, and I also promised Liuqin's parents that I really can't set foot in my mother's door. I have to ask Liu Qin and her parents for their guilt. But I don't use it no matter what I say alone, Lu Dong and Liu Qin can only talk about it, or let Lu Dong go together on a cloudy day. Gui Zhi looked unhappy, half self-deprecating and half complaining.
Xinlan was unhappy when she saw Gui Zhi, thinking that people were running for these two ends, and now they are not left behind, it is natural to have emotions, so she didn't dare to say more. So he decided to do what Gui Zhi said, and set a time for Lu Dong and Gui Zhi to go together to explain this matter in the morning on a cloudy day.
After Xinlan left, Gui Zhi was angry in her heart, but she had nowhere to spill, so she sat on the chair in a daze with a blank face.
The yin Bai who was eavesdropping outside just now, and he blamed Xinlan for doing something wrong, but thinking about it the other way, people naturally have to plan for themselves, but they pity his wife Guizhi. At this point, it is useless to say more, and it will only increase the troubles. When I came into the house, I saw that Gui Zhi was worried, and I was a little distressed, so I went to make a joke about Gui Zhi, and said, "Isn't the little white shoes a little pinched!"
Gui Zhi ignored him, feeling uncomfortable. Haihai looked at Gui Zhi's unsmiling expression and said with a smile: "Don't feel bad, since you are a matchmaker, you have to withstand the toss." We are kind-hearted, the starting point is correct, and it is their business to understand or not! You go to Lu Dong on a cloudy day, see what he says, let him and Liu Qin handle it by themselves, won't you just get out? Don't put it on your mind, there is no one to replace you when you get sick. Gui Zhi thought about it, and then let go of the knot.
