Chapter 100: The Woman
When Xia Youzhi was about to get home, he happened to meet Xia's father who was carrying a large bag.
"Dad, what are you?"
Xia Youzhi hurriedly parked the bicycle and stepped forward to take the bag from Xia's father.
It looks like moving.
Xia Guomin smiled innocently and put down the things on his shoulder.
"These are all things at home, sweet potatoes, cassava, and potatoes are also dug by your uncle, and the other bag is picked by your second aunt in the vegetable garden, stone melons and green vegetables."
It's all his brother's heart, and no matter how heavy it is, he has to carry it.
Xia Youzhi couldn't laugh or cry, "It's so heavy, you came on foot?" ”
Father Xia nodded, "Stop-and-go, it's okay." ”
Xia You's heart was very distressed, "Don't do this next time, if the uncle gives you something, you can ask Grandpa Gu to pull you over, there is not much money." ”
Xia Guomin smiled and didn't say anything.
Xia Youzhi was a little helpless, but he also knew that her father had suffered all his life, and now that the family conditions were a little better, he was still reluctant to spend that money.
"Dad, let's hurry back, I guess my mother is in a hurry, you put that bag of sweet potatoes in the back seat of the car." The way of summer young.
She hung the bag in her hand in front of the car.
Xia Guomin nodded, picked up the sweet potato and put it in the back seat of the car, turned around and smiled at Xia Youzhi, "Let Dad come." ”
As he spoke, he took the bicycle in Xia Youzhi's hand and went home.
Xia Youzhi held the big bag in the back seat and walked next to Xia Guomin, "Dad, where is my brother?" Why didn't you see anyone? ”
"He ran into the house first."
Sure enough, when Xia You's father and daughter arrived at the door, they heard Xia Qinglin's cheerful voice.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw Xia Mu feeding the chickens in the yard.
"Why did you two run into each other?"
Seeing her husband and daughter come back together, Xia's mother was a little surprised.
"I was just finishing my errand when I saw my dad carrying it on his shoulder at the intersection in front of me. Mom, you don't know how much, my dad doesn't know how to take care of his body, you have to talk about him. ”
Xia You's heart complained distressedly.
"Ignore him, he's used to it." Xia Mu smiled.
Listening to her daughter's words, Xia's mother was very warm.
This child knows that she feels sorry for her father.
"That's not good, how old are you, how can you afford to carry such a long journey." Xia Youzhi shook his head disapprovingly.
"Okay, okay. Hear me, your daughter won't let you do these jobs anymore. Mother Xia looked at Father Xia with a smile.
Xia Guomin nodded, "Okay, next time Dad won't do it." ”
Xia Youzhi was relieved at this time.
Her father has a problem with his leg, and if he doesn't take care of his body so much, it's okay.
She remembered that her father's legs used to ache when it was windy and rainy.
It seems that she will have to buy some medicine for her father when she goes to Haizhou City in the future.
"Mom, where's Qinglin?"
As soon as I heard his voice, I disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I'm in the kitchen with your cousin Qingqing, your cousin is so quick to get started, this fat sausage is fast and clean." Xia Mu praised.
During this time, because she always bent over to wash her large intestine, her waist was so sore that she couldn't do it.
Zhang Qingqing helped as soon as she came, making her a lot easier.
As soon as Xia's mother finished speaking, Zhang Qingqing took Xia Qinglin out of the house.
Seeing this, Xia Youzhi deliberately quipped, "That's fine, let her wash it in the future, the salary is not given for nothing." ”
"Okay, you capitalist, you know how to exploit."
Zhang Qingqing walked over with a smile and slapped Xia Youzhi a few times.
"Don't hit my sister."
Xia Qinglin on the side was anxious and angrily broke free of Zhang Qingqing's hand.
That cute appearance amused everyone.
Zhang Qingqing couldn't straighten up with a smile, "Hey, I was too good to be with me just now, but I'm protected now, and I'm not allowed to beat my sister." ”
"No, I'm his sister."
Xia Youzhi smiled and took a sip on Xia Qinglin's face.
"Yes, yes, you are brothers and sisters, and I am a foreigner." Saying that, Zhang Qingqing patted Xia Youzhi a few more times, turned his head and said to Xia Qinglin with a smile, "You see I'm going to beat your sister." ”
"Bad guys!"
Xia Qinglin hugged Xia Youzhi's waist tightly and yelled at Zhang Qingqing angrily.
The crowd laughed again.
When Xia Qingbo helped Gu Tingshen come back, he happened to see this scene.
"What's going on? Why are they all standing in the courtyard? ”
Xia Youzhi turned around and saw Xia Qingbo supporting Gu Tingshen, "Big brother, are you out?" ”
Xia Qingbo nodded, "Uncle Gu and I went to the central school to find the principal." ”
"Didn't you say you're going tomorrow?"
Xia Youzhi looked at Gu Tingshen suspiciously.
"Do it early, feel at ease." Gu Ting said lightly.
After Xia Youzhi went out in the afternoon, it happened that Xia Qingbo returned home, so he asked Xia Qingbo to take him out.
"That'...... Done now? ”
Gu Tingshen nodded, his mood was not high.
"I really have to thank Uncle Gu this time, otherwise Qinglin's matter will be really difficult."
Xia Qingbo scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
Last night, he also threatened to beat Uncle Gu, but he turned around and solved a big problem for himself, which made him very embarrassed.
"What's the matter?"
Xia Guomin was confused.
"It's a long story, let's talk slowly when we eat." Xia Mu said with a smile, "Qingbo, hurry up and carry your Uncle Gu in, after standing for a long time, your leg should hurt." ”
Xia Qingbo nodded and picked up Gu Tingshen on his back.
The crowd also walked into the house.
After dinner, Xia Youzhi went to Gu Ting's deep room alone.
"Huh?"
Gu Ting looked at Xia Youzhi who was standing beside the bed and bowed his head in contemplation.
"Gu Tingshen, I want to talk to you...... About your uncle. Xia Youzhi raised his eyes and said.
Hearing this, Gu Tingshen's face suddenly pulled down.
"What is there to say, didn't he tell you everything when you went in the afternoon?"
Gu Ting hooked the corners of his lips with a sarcastic expression.
Even the man was his uncle, she knew it, so what else did he have to say.
"Deputy Director Liao said it, but I also want to hear from you." Xia Youzhi said softly.
Gu Tingshen turned his head sideways, glanced at Xia Youzhi, and quickly looked away again.
"I don't have much to say." Gu Tingshen said lightly, "What he said is true. ”
"What?"
This time it was Xia Youzhi's turn to be surprised.
"You've always known your mother...... What's the matter? Xia Youzhi spoke again.
Gu Tingshen nodded.
Xia Youzhi looked at Gu Tingshen and was speechless for a while.
So Gu Tingshen has always known that the ......
"You hate your mother?"
Gu Tingshen shook his head, "I don't hate her, I should say that I hated her before, because I don't know why." But then there was no talk of hate. ”
Such a selfish woman, he even felt that hatred was wasted.
\"Your uncle...... Deputy Director Liao, he said, you don't know the truth about your mother's departure, he wants me to tell you clearly, but it seems that you already know. \" Xia Youzhi said quietly.
"I already know." Gu Ting smiled sarcastically.
"When did you find out?"
"A few years ago, I looked into the woman." Gu Ting said lightly.
At that time, he already had some connections, and he also wanted to have an answer to the things hidden deep in his heart.
Xia Youzhi was stunned for a moment.
So in fact, Gu Tingshen didn't want to forgive, not because he didn't know the truth.
Gu Ting took a long breath and said something that Xia Youzhi didn't know.
"I already have memories of the woman when she left, so I know very well what kind of person she is. Including that year she took me to find ...... I also remember that person very clearly.
Oh, but I was five years old at the time, but they all thought I couldn't remember, so when the man came to me, I recognized him at a glance. ”
"Then why are you ......," Xia Youzhi asked hesitantly.
"Why don't you forgive?" Gu Ting laughed self-deprecatingly.
Xia Youzhi didn't answer.
"A woman who is terminally ill and has made the illusion that she ran away with someone else in order to make her husband forget herself, should I say that she is great or stupid?
Maybe she just wants the old man to start over, but has she ever thought about me? Ever wondered how old my child is facing gossip?
She didn't, she just selfishly pursued her love, so I will never forgive her in my life. ”
Gu Ting clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
He never mentioned this matter to anyone, but as long as Xia Youzhi wanted to know, he would tell her without reservation.
Xia Youzhi understood Gu Tingshen's hatred.
This feeling of being given up by her mother is what she felt from the Song family at the beginning.
Anger, helplessness, despair.
Xia Youzhi sat on the edge of the bed and held Gu Tingshen's hand, "No one wants you to forgive her, you can make your own decisions." After all, not all parents deserve to be forgiven, you just have to listen to your heart's feelings. ”
Xia Youzhi's words made Gu Tingshen's eyes red, and a thin layer of water beads appeared under his eyes.
He hugged Xia Youzhi and buried his head deep in Xia Youzhi's thin shoulder.
Xia Youyi was stunned, struggled twice, and then felt as if tears were dripping from his shoulders.
She didn't move again, and let Gu Tingshen hug her tightly.
It's like grasping at the last straw.
"I hate her, yes, I hate her, she's so selfish, so self-righteous."
A choked voice came from his shoulder.
Xia Youzhi gently patted Gu Tingshen's back.
"Yes, I don't approve of her either."
The reason why Gu Tingshen hates school so much is because the Liao family is in the education system, right?
I heard that her ex-mother-in-law, who was not lucky, also taught at Zhangjiacun Primary School.
So when he touches the school, it always brings back bad memories for him.
But he is also a kind person, and even if he no longer likes school, he still sponsors so many people to go to school.
"It's not easy for the old man, after so many years, he hasn't remarried. I've always been thinking about her, and I don't know the truth until now, he ...... I used to have a good temper. ”
Gu Ting said in a deep sullen voice.
Xia Youzhi nodded, thinking that Gu Tingshen couldn't see it, so he said, "I know, Grandpa Gu must have been a great talent before, otherwise how could he attract your mother." ”
"Poof!"
Gu Ting smiled deeply, "You're really right, he used to have a lot of work, he was quite good at playing the harmonica, and he was dizzy with those little girls." ”
"That's amazing?"
Xia Youzhi didn't expect that he would say it casually, and he really hit it.
Thinking of the old man with a strange temper, Xia Youzhi really couldn't connect him with such a literary hobby.
"Otherwise, how can I catch her." Gu Tingshen was a little proud.
Hearing that Gu Tingshen's mood was much better, Xia Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"The debt of our family is not owed by the woman, but by ...... It was during that time that the old man was in a bad mood and lost money gambling. Gu Tingshen hesitated for a moment and said it.
Although he still hated the woman, it was really not her fault.
Xia Youzhi was a little surprised, and just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the surprise of opening the door.
"What are you doing?!"
