Volume 3, Heart-wrenching Helplessness Chapter 31, Beloved Loneliness
Wang Li's mother and daughter took the express passenger train and rushed all the way to Jicheng.
The eldest cousin, Xie Tao, drove a Santana car and waited at the exit of the station.
Wang Li and her mother walked out of the station and saw Xie Tao, Wang Li asked eagerly, "How is my uncle now?" β
"You'll see it in a moment." Xie Tao's face was relaxed, which aroused Wang Li's disgust.
The uncle is critically ill, Xie Tao is the only baby son of the uncle, how can he still act like no one.
"Whose car is this?" Xie Guizhi looked at the Santana car, and saw that the two words on the door were very fresh, so he asked casually: "This won't be our family, right?" β
"I mentioned it last month." Xie Tao's words were full of show-off.
"Okay, I've bought a car." Xie Guizhi patted Xie Tao with a smile and said, "Auntie also enjoys it with you." β
Xie Guizhi opened the car door and got into the car.
Wang Li got into the car with her mother, and when she saw that her mother was talking and laughing with her cousin, she didn't mention her uncle's illness, and she wondered in her heart.
Why are these aunts and nephews so heartless.
The Santana sedan sped all the way, and in less than twenty minutes, it was back at my uncle's house, a brand new two-story villa.
"Why don't we go to the hospital to see my uncle." Wang Lilai was in the car and asked her cousin to take her to see her uncle first.
"Your uncle is at home." Xie Guizhi finally told the truth.
Wang Li looked at her mother in confusion, Xie Tao actually grabbed Wang Li's hand, pulled her out of the car and said, "You will see it when you enter the house." β
It was a new residence filled with the smell of paint and wood, and when Wang Li walked into the villa, she was disgusted by the strong smell.
"Big girl, what's wrong with you." Uncle Xie Ronghao greeted him and moved over Wang Li's shoulder, wanting to take a good look at his niece, who was almost spit on Wang Li's body.
"What's wrong with Xiaoli." Xie Ronghao took advantage of Wang Li to run into the bathroom to vomit, and asked Xie Guizhi puzzled.
Xie Guizhi was still smiling just now, disturbed by Wang Li's sudden situation, and seemed a little masterless.
"I don't know, it's okay when I'm at home." An ominous omen flashed in Xie Guizhi's mind, and it was immediately covered up by the word impossible. She said, "Xiaoli has motion sickness." β
"My car is a bit floating, and most people can't get used to it." Xie Tao shook the car key in his hand and said, "Just sit a few times." β
Wang Li vomited in the bathroom for a while, until she vomited no more, then rinsed her mouth and walked out with tears in her eyes.
"Uncle, what's going on?" Wang Li needs an explanation from her uncle, there must be something big about coming them from afar.
"Let's eat an orange first." Xie Tao took an orange and stuffed it to Wang Li, then pressed her down on the sofa and said, "It's not easy to come here, stay a few more days, brother will take you to have a good time." β
"Uncle, speak." Wang Li raised her voice, and she could see that she was about to get angry.
"Li, I heard that you have a partner." As soon as Xie Ronghao started talking, Wang Li knew the result.
She looked at Xie Guizhi coldly, and said word by word: "Mom, this is your idea." β
Xie Guizhi lowered his head and thought for a while before he said, "I really can't help it, so I ......."
Wang Li stood up and said to Xie Tao: "Brother, drive me to the station." β
"Xiaoli." Xie Ronghao lowered his face, revealing a sense of majesty and said, "Tell my uncle, what the hell is going on." β
Wang Li turned her face away, feeling extremely disgusted with her mother. complained that Mom was doing too much, and she shouldn't have come all the way to bring her here.
"Speak." Xie Ronghao's tone revealed a full smell of gunpowder, which was a harshness that Wang Li had never felt.
"Ask my mom." Wang Li took the backpack and was about to go out.
Xie Tao stopped her and said, "People are already here, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's make things clear first." β
"What is there to say, my mother knows better than anyone else." Wang Li turned her back to Xie Guizhi, not realizing that Xie Guizhi had shed tears.
"I saw Zhou Tiemin in the market yesterday." Xie Guizhi said: "There is also a woman named Liu Dongmei, who said that she was Zhou Tiemin's fiancΓ©e. β
"What!" Wang Li trembled, and when she turned around, she saw her mother wiping her tears, with a helpless face. She hurriedly asked, "It's really fake." β
"Otherwise, I can ask your brother to send an urgent telegram and let you come to the house." Xie Ronghao clenched his teeth, and he could see that he was really going to be angry.
"No way, absolutely impossible." Wang Li manipulated the stubbornness shared by all infatuated women and refused to agree with her mother's statement.
Despite this, she pondered it for a while.
She repeatedly recalled every scene the two of them had been together since the day she met Tiemin.
Especially yesterday, when Tie Min was with her, Tie Min's eyes and actions all revealed his attachment to her.
After all, the two have been together for two years, and the words and words between each other, including every movement of the body, will clearly reveal their inner monologue.
There is only one possibility, Liu Dongmei is going to break her pants and wrap her legs.
Liu Dongmei lived in the Zhou family, why didn't Tie Min tell me. Thinking of this, Wang Li's eyes widened and said, "Brother, send me to the station." β
"Xiaoli, don't blame Mom. Tiemin is his father, it's impossible to let him be with you. Xie Guizhi cried out loud, she wanted to tell her daughter the truth about the sourness in her heart, so that her daughter could dispel her expectations for Tiemin as soon as possible.
"Hmm!" Xie Ronghao cleared his throat at the critical moment, the brother and sister looked at each other, and Xie Guizhi understood his cold eyes.
"Uncle, what do you mean!" Wang Li was in a hurry, she almost jumped up.
"I know Zhou Zhiqiang, we are fellow villagers, and we grew up together." Xie Ronghao satisfied Wang Li's incomprehension, and also gave Wang Li a hopeless judgment: "He can't wait to kill me with a knife now, how can he still tolerate you." β
"What, it turned out to be for you!" Wang Li's doubts and helplessness for many days finally found the password to liberation.
She really wanted to appear in front of Zhou Zhiqiang immediately and tell him: Your grievances with my uncle have nothing to do with me, if you want to break up me and Tiemin for this, I would rather die than agree.
Xie Ronghao's eyes blinked, and he said as if he wanted to speak: "Ah, it's for me." Damn, no. β
Wang Li's anger was diminished by her uncle's words. She laughed and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier." β
A conversation full of gunpowder smelled of gunpowder, because Wang Li suddenly relaxed her attitude and became relaxed.
"Uncle, tell me quickly, what are you and Tiemin and his father for?" Wang Li regained her previous well-behaved in front of her uncle, pestering her uncle for answers.
Xie Ronghao was not careful and found himself in trouble.
"Now I don't want to say, when you make me happy, I'll tell you about this Zhou Zhiqiang." Xie Ronghao knew Wang Li's monkey temper, and it wouldn't take a few rounds, and if he couldn't get an answer, he would definitely have to be anxious.
Since his topic has aroused Wang Li's interest, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to stay at home for three or two days.
Fortunately, Xie Ronghao told the truth, he and Zhou Zhiqiang did grow up together since childhood, and they knew Zhou Zhiqiang quite well.
This is a major event in his niece's life, Xie Ronghao must first understand things clearly, and then break them and crumple them, so that Wang Li can thoroughly understand Zhou Zhiqiang's personality, so that he will no longer have any dealings with Zhou Tiemin.
Xie Guizhi saw that her daughter had been left behind by her uncle, and her hanging heart could be regarded as having something to rely on, and everything was just waiting for Xie Ronghao to use his means.
The couple were accommodated in a guest room on the second floor.
Early the next morning, Xie Guizhi woke up to find that Wang Li was gone, along with her white backpack.
Oh no, this stupid girl stole back.
Xie Guizhi chased all the way downstairs, and saw Xie Ronghao doing tai chi in the courtyard, Xie Guizhi ran out with the top handle and shouted, "Brother, Xiaoli slipped away last night." β
Tie Min stayed at Wang Li's house all day and filled out all the employee registration cards in the operation workshop.
He stretched his waist, put a large cloth bag on his back, and left Wang Li's house on crutches.
Last night, Liu Dongmei was quite reserved, helped him glue the wall, lay out the bedding, and left the lower room step by step.
Fortunately, Tie Min's feet were broken, and he had a perfect excuse to reject Liu Dongmei.
Even so, before going out, Liu Dongmei ran back, held Tiemin's mouth, and kissed him fiercely.
Tie Min could see that in a few days, Liu Dongmei would squeeze into his bed under the pretext of taking care of him. In that case, he was covered with mouths, and he couldn't speak clearly.
Liu Dongmei also went out open-mindedly, and dared to rush up, Tie Min didn't have time to take measures, and there must be a bunch of chaos waiting for him next.
Tetsumin walked home and went to the lower room first.
He put down his cloth pocket, lay down and began to ponder what kind of chain reaction his next action would cause.
One thing is certain, as long as he and Wang Li get a marriage certificate, everything will be exonerated by this perfect reality.
Wang Li's uncle will not get sick sooner or later, and he will be critically ill at this time.
This may be the legendary good thing.
Tetsumin thought about it and fell asleep unconsciously.
There was a sound of running, and Shengzi opened the door of the lower room, and saw Tetsumin sleeping. You said how bad this kid was, he actually kicked Tiemin in a plaster cast, and Tiemin woke up in his sleep.
"It's good for your family to wait for you to eat." Shengzi said it rightly, posing as a little adult, and teaching Tiemin a lesson.
Tie Min sat up with a "sigh", took the cane and was about to give birth.
When the birth of a son is not good, he runs away.
Tie Min endured severe pain, returned home on crutches, and saw Aunt Zhou's face collecting debts.
"You big, you don't say a word when you come back. Hurt your family, hungry and waiting for you to eat. Aunt Zhou tied an apron, put half a pot of dumplings on the kang table, and said to Shengzi and Yanzi first: "This is the dumpling left for your brother, you have eaten it at noon, and you are not allowed to eat it again." β
A bowl of stew, a pot of sorghum rice, this is the dinner of the Zhou family.
Zhou Zhiqiang didn't have to be busy with others, he scalded a pot of Lao Baigan by himself, sat on the kang, poured a glass of wine first, and asked Tiemin: "Do you want to take a sip." β
"Don't drink it." Tie Min sat on the side of the kang, picked up a dumpling and was about to eat it, when he saw a bowl of sorghum rice in front of his younger brothers and sisters, and watched him eat dumplings. whispered, "I can't finish these dumplings." β
"Nonsense, who said these dumplings were given to you." Aunt Zhou said with a straight face: "Your father eats with you." β
Zhou Zhiqiang picked up a dumpling and put it into Yanzi's rice bowl. Seeing this, Aunt Zhou also picked up a dumpling, put it in the rice bowl of the child, and said, "Hurry up and eat, go into the house to do your homework after eating." β
As soon as Tie Min entered the house, he found that Liu Dongmei was gone, and his stupid mouth didn't bother to inquire about Liu Dongmei's whereabouts.
Seeing the dumplings in the basin, he knew that the family ate dumplings at noon, and these were specially left for him.
He ate a half-full, and then gave him half a bowl of sorghum rice. In this way, it can also give my mother and younger siblings a chance to eat some more dumplings.
"Why don't you ask where Dongmei went." Aunt Zhou still couldn't hold back and asked Tie Min a question.
There was a father sitting on the side, but Tiemin didn't dare to answer.
He didn't dare to say what was in his heart: where did she go to my. I didn't want to follow my mother's topic against my will, so I asked: Where did she go? I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and after eating in two bites, I will get up and go out.
"Dongmei went home to open a letter of introduction." Zhou Zhiqiang took the initiative to announce the answer.
Tie Min's eyes blinked, and he really wanted to ask: What kind of letter of introduction did she open.
Thanks to Tie Min's youth, he reacted relatively quickly and remembered what he had said to Liu Dongmei.
He was stunned, and he was going out again.
"You're going to stay at home tonight." Aunt Zhou stopped Tie Min and said, "It just so happens that I have something to do with your father and want to discuss it with you." β
"What's the matter, let's talk about it." Tiemin only stayed in the lower house for one night, and he felt a rare quiet. Liu Dongmei is not here, and he doesn't want to live in the inner room with his son anymore.
"Your unit's letter of introduction has returned." Aunt Zhou didn't wait for Tiemin to answer, she gave Yanzi and Shengzi respectively, and each of them sandwiched two dumplings and said, "Eat quickly, and then go to the inner room to do your homework, the adults in the family have something to say." β
I gave birth to three mouthfuls and made two bites, ate two dumplings, chewed dumplings in my mouth, and went to the inner room.
Yanzi ate slowly, she was not moved by her mother's urging, and still chewed and swallowed slowly.
"You're deaf, hurry up and eat." Aunt Zhou yelled at Yanzi.
Yanzi glanced at Aunt Zhou, picked up the rice bowl, added some vegetables into the bowl, and went to the inner room with the rice bowl.
"It just so happens that Dongmei is not at home, so we have to sum up the cost of your marriage." Aunt Zhou chewed the rice in her mouth, and said to Tie Min: "When you went to work, we said that you would save your salary by yourself, and when you got married, the family would ......."
"There's no rush ahead of time." Zhou Tiemin walked out on crutches and said, "Let's talk about it later." β
"I will register and get a marriage certificate immediately, and I can't meet my in-laws first, eat engagement dinner, and pass the bride price." Zhou Zhiqiang was unhappy, he drank a glass of wine, put a dumpling in his mouth, chewed Bai Tiemin and said, "I didn't count in my heart." β
Tie Min smiled at his father, and just as he was about to say something, Aunt Zhou became alert: "I asked you, but you haven't answered me yet." β
"What did you ask me?" Tiemin looked at his mother in a daze.
"Did you go to the unit to get a letter of introduction?" Aunt Zhou looked directly at Tie Min.
She knew that Tiemin wouldn't lie, and when she did, she blushed.
"Today, the person in charge of the letter of introduction from the unit went to the railway branch for a meeting." Tie Min walked out of the house early in the morning and made up this lie, knowing that his mother would definitely be a picket to verify the matter.
"When will it be opened?" Aunt Zhou had to find a flaw in Tiemin's face.
"Tomorrow will be about the same." Tie Min saw that his father's eyes were full of alcohol concentration, and he swept his face, and he was a little flustered.
Back in the lower room, Tiemin pondered repeatedly how to avoid his parents' pressing step by step.
After thinking about it, he made up his mind.
It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and he must be out of the way.
