Chapter 32: Dragonflies

"What's wrong with her?" Ying Zhen heard Yi Niang talk about it, which was very strange.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."

One day fifteen years ago:

"Yi Niang, what's wrong with me?" A woman asked anxiously.

"Rui Ying, how can you be pregnant? And the fetus is already five months old. For Cao Ruiying, the first friend in front of her, Yi Niang is very cautious, she is a person who has come over, and she still knows a little about pregnancy.

"Huh? How so? "It's also true, no wonder I have a swollen stomach recently, and I thought I was fat and didn't think much about it, but I still vaguely felt that something was moving in my stomach, and now that I think about it, this is the reason.

"I can't lie to you, but I have never seen you go out on weekdays, whose child is this?"

Rui Ying, who was sitting on the bed, bowed her head and was silent.

"Hey, if you don't want to say it, forget it, I won't force you, so what are you going to do with this kid?"

"I don't want ......," her voice was soft, as if she was feeling guilty for the unborn little life in her womb.

"But it's been five months old, and if you have an abortion, it's not good for your body, and besides, she's a life, isn't it? Are you really willing to do it? ”

"What do you mean, Yi Niang?"

"I suggest, give birth to it."

"No, I'm not married yet, if I bring a child by my side, how do you let me deal with myself, I don't want to suffer from other people's gossip, even if I bear it, what about the child, it will be ridiculed as soon as it is born, it is better not to be born."

"I understand you, but..., it's better to be like this, your child is born, I will raise it, and I will say to others that it is my child, anyway, everyone else knows that I have a child.

"No, I don't want to burden you. You obviously know that the business of Liucaiyuan is not good these days, isn't this a drag on you? ”

"That's really not good, just say that I picked it up, and when it grows up, let's also come to Liucaiyuan to do things, and it can be regarded as repaying me for raising her."

"That's... All right. ”

"Since then, Rui Ying has indeed given birth to a child, a girl, but she doesn't like her at all."

"The girl she gave birth to is a dragonfly."

"yes."

"And then?"

Fourteen years have passed, the dragonfly is slowly growing up, and Rui Ying's attitude towards her is the same as when she was born, unchanged, cold as ice. One day, Dragonfly found Rui Ying secretly meeting with a man in the room, after Dragonfly saw it, she ran out of Liucaiyuan, I heard her say that she was a little happy at the time, but a little at a loss, that man may be her father, but she doesn't know if that father will not like her like her mother. Later, as she walked, she came to a cliff, and saw a man lying on the edge of the cliff, supporting his crumbling body with the only branches he had. Dragonfly was kind-hearted, and couldn't bear to see him fall like this because of the broken branches, and it took a lot of effort to save him, because it was already late at that time, Dragonfly thought about it and prepared to return to Liucaiyuan the next day. That night, the man woke up, it turned out that he was a scholar who went to Beijing to catch the exam, the document was taken by a wild dog on the way, the book was very important, so he chased it, after the book was grabbed, his foot was bitten by a wild dog, he couldn't walk, he thought he was going to die there, but the dragonfly saved him at a critical moment. That night, the two of them had a good conversation, he was very grateful to Dragonfly, and offered to go back to Liucaiyuan with her, and Dragonfly happily agreed, but he didn't expect to ...... the next day"

"Mother, what are you doing here?" Dragonfly returned to Liucaiyuan, as Dragonfly expected, her mother really didn't give her a good look, but this time it was worse than Dragonfly thought.

"You still have the face to come back?" In the solemn lobby, Yi Niang sat at the front, and it was Cao Ruiying who spoke, a woman with standard facial features sitting next to Yi Niang. For so many years, Dragonfly hadn't heard her mother call her daughter, and she had long been used to it, but this time she didn't even call her by name. Cao Ruiying calmly drank the best Biluochun in the cup, so that her subordinates threw all the dragonfly things outside, without the slightest sense of hesitation. "You don't come home at night, do you still take this place seriously? Do you take me as a mother in your eyes? She said it without being sad or dry, but this just shows that her mother has no feelings for her.

"It's not like this, I'm going to save people, people's lives are at stake, if my mother doesn't believe me, please ask my mother to see it, he came back with me." The dragonfly tried to defend itself.

A young scholar walked slowly in the lobby, with dead leaves and branches all over his head, ragged clothes, and an embarrassed appearance. Because of the injury to his foot, he could not walk fast, but was like a lame man. After hearing about what happened in the lobby, he believed that he could testify for this girl, at least not let a woman cast a confident look at the dragonfly because she had been wronged.

"Mother, do you see, I didn't lie to you, it's him, I saved him on the edge of the cliff, if you don't believe me, you can ask him." Dragonfly was a little happy at the moment, fortunately he and himself came back, otherwise he really didn't know what to do, but Rui Ying's words later made Dragonfly very aggrieved, and there was no blood on his face.

"I don't think there's any need for this, maybe you're all a family, right?" Cao Ruiying sneered.

"Mother...... What do you mean by that? "The dragonfly was at a loss.

"Three watches in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, living in the same room, what can happen? I don't need to say it explicitly, you should know it in your hearts, right? Tut-tut, I'm so ashamed to have a daughter like you. ”

"Nope! I didn't! No... No... I didn't. Mother, don't wronged me! The slandered dragonfly was on the verge of collapse, and it turned out that she was such a girl in her mother's eyes. She always refused to believe it, even if her mother was extremely disgusted with her since she was a child, because she knew that no matter how she changed, there was no way for her mother to let go of the mustard, so she didn't ask for anything else, just to be able to stay with her mother for a long time. But this incident clearly told her that all her thoughts were nonsense, and even ridiculous in the eyes of others, it had been fourteen years, no matter how much her mother hated herself, after so many years, she should at least let go of it, even a little.

"Rui Ying, it's almost done, don't go too far." Yi Niang, who was sitting next to Cao Ruiying, glanced at her and motioned her to stop talking, originally she came only because Rui Ying said that she wanted to teach Dragonfly a lesson, otherwise there would be two such things. Originally, she didn't have such a plan, but she didn't expect such a clue to appear, looking at Rui Ying's confident expression, it seems that things have been under her control all along.

Cao Ruiying didn't pay attention to Yi Niang, looked at the subordinates who were dragging and carrying the dragonfly bags, frowned, and urged in disgust: "What are you waiting for, don't you move quickly, don't you want to eat tonight!" ”

Yi Niang saw that things were wrong, not good, Rui Ying was serious this time.
