Chapter 163: Drawing the Line
Shen Qing shook his head: "Brother Mu, you may have misunderstood, I have always regarded you as a big brother, and I have no affection for you between men and women." ”
Mu Xiu's face stiffened slightly, his bright eyes darkened, and a trace of loss appeared on his face......
Lu Huijuan borrowed a wooden ladder from a neighbor and climbed the wall to touch it in, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw the scene in front of her.
For a moment, she didn't react and stood outside the door dumbfounded.
Mu Xiu turned around and saw her, his eyes showed a fierce light, he stood up and asked her viciously, "Who let you in, get out ......." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand and pushed her, telling her to go out.
Seeing that he was determined to drive himself away, Lu Huijuan had to ask the woman behind him for help in a hurry: "Shen Qing, Brother Mu wants to drive me away, you have something to say." ”
Shen Qing looked at the two of them, and finally spoke: "Brother Mu, I hope she can stay." ”
She didn't like the woman's face either.
But......
Since he knew that this man was not his own brother, he also knew that he had different thoughts about himself.
Since he has rejected others, he can't rely on others for everything as usual. She doesn't like this ambiguous relationship, and since she refuses, she has to draw a line......
But she has difficulty moving, and it is not easy to do this, if she drives this surnamed Lu away, she will have to rely on this man for everything, which is not fair......
She looked at Mu Xiu and begged, "I need her, please, Brother Mu." ”
Mu Xiu turned his head to look at her, was silent for a moment, and then turned and walked out of her bedroom.
Lu Huijuan leaned sideways against the door frame, her eyes quietly following Mu Xiu's back until he was far away, and Fang turned her eyes back to stare at the woman on the bed.
She said with a mocking face: "You eat him, use him, and now you reject him in one bite, aren't you afraid of losing this backer?" ”
Shen Qing looked at her coldly: "Hui Juan, don't forget whose blessing you have to rely on to stay, you sneered at me, aren't you afraid that I will ask Brother Mu to drive you out?" ”
When Lu Huijuan heard this, the smile on her face did not change: "You are kind to yourself, can I not know that without me, you can still live so nourishingly?" ”
Shen Qing snorted coldly, "You also heard it just now, Brother Mu's heart is here, he has affection for me, as long as I bring it up, he can spend money to find me another girl." ”
She bit the word Yahuan very hard, Lu Huijuan has always regarded herself as half the mistress of this family, and she has never admitted in her heart that Mu Xiu left herself to be a maid for this woman, which will listen to her make her words clear, not to mention more in her heart.
But she knew that Shen Qing's words were true, so she chuckled in her heart.
Immediately, pretending not to hear, deliberately not answering this stubble, snorting coldly, and said in a strange manner:
"I don't know what some people think in their hearts, a disabled person who can't even walk the road, still thinks he is a sweetheart, and if there are men, he is wrong, and he picks. If you continue like this, you will wait to be the bottom orange for the rest of your life......"
This bottom orange is used by southerners to describe an old woman who can't get married, referring to the rotten oranges left over by others.
This was ugly, but it couldn't poke Shen Qing's heart, she looked down at her legs, and secretly swore that she must walk on her own feet, she can't live by relying on others all her life, she wants to be independent......
From this day on, she began to exercise her legs, and she insisted on crawling every day, first on the bed, and then on the ground when she felt that the place was too small.
Mu Xiu saw that she was struggling to crawl on the ground, sometimes making himself sweaty, although he was distressed, he did not step forward to stop her,
just silently instructed Lu Huijuan to wipe the floor of the house a little cleaner.
And Lu Huijuan, although she complained in her heart, she was angry and didn't dare to speak, she didn't want Mu Xiu to drive herself out, she still had to do superficial work, yes, she took a towel to wipe the ground clean every day.
Especially when Mu Xiu was there, she worked the hardest.
But it was only when Mu Xiu was at home, once Mu Xiu went out, she immediately dispersed, and she looked like she was ignoring Shen Qing.
And Mu Xiu, who wants to collect medicine and make money to support his family, is often away from home.
When he was at home, Shen Qing could still eat a hot meal, and once Mu Xiu was not at home, this Lu Huijuan would deliberately let the food cool before serving it to her.
Shen Qing's stomach was weak, and after eating cold rice and vegetables, she would either vomit or have a stomach upset, Lu Huijuan saw that she vomited filth all over the ground, and brought her a basin and a rag with a disgusted face, and asked her to deal with it herself.
Even so, Shen Qing still forced herself to eat more, and after eating, her legs had strength.
Sometimes she was tired of crawling on the ground, didn't have the strength to go back to bed, and didn't want to ask Lu Huijuan for help with a shy face, so she lay on the ground and fell asleep.
When Mu Xiu returned home, his heart felt like he had been beaten.
After he saw that he confessed, the woman deliberately wanted to keep a distance from him, so that he would no longer step forward and pick her up at every turn as before.
Knowing that she has a strong temperament, she can't pull ten cows if she doesn't want to do it, so he can't force it, he thinks that as long as she thinks of everything in the future, she will be able to have one heart with him.
As the days passed, Shen Qing went from crawling slowly on the ground with her hands at the beginning, to standing and doing straight-legged raises, which took nearly two months, and then she began to slowly start walking by holding on to the wall, and later, she could walk out of the yard with two crutches.
On this day, the weather was very good, the sun was shining, Mu Xiu was not at home, Lu Huijuan also went out closely, and she came to the yard to practice alone with a cane.
Walking back and forth around the small courtyard five or six times, she suddenly heard a sound of children frolicking outside, Shen Qing couldn't help but listen, several children were laughing and running outside, and the scene of children playing and frolicking flashed in her mind, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.
In the distance, she slowly turned around and looked at the courtyard gate...... It's been a long time since I've been out of this house......
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qingzhu cautiously walked out of the door with a cane, and after turning around and closing the courtyard door, she looked at the long alley, took a deep breath, she looked at her feet, and began to walk slowly forward step by step.
From memory, she came to the market, which was very crowded and lively. The people stood on both sides of the street and looked at each other, not knowing what they were expecting.
Shen Qing raised his eyes and looked around, except for the head or the head, he didn't see anything, and a middle-aged man next to him saw her on crutches, and kindly took a step back to give her more space.
She thanked the other party and asked curiously, "Uncle, what are you doing here?" ”
