Chapter 106: The Duthness of Man
Laiyang denied Li Dian's conjecture, it was not that he didn't trust him enough, it was related to Yuan Shengda's reputation, and he couldn't say it.
The expression on Li Dian's face gradually faded, although it was very short, but it was deeply engraved in Lai Yang's heart.
The car stopped next to the street of the detention center, and the two of them went in and waited for more than 50 minutes before Li's mother changed her clothes and walked out.
She has obviously lost a lot of weight, she doesn't wear any makeup on her face, she doesn't wear pearl earrings, her skin is sallow, her eye bags are very heavy, and her eyes are sloppy.
Laiyang was taken aback, and Li Dian's eyes were also red.
After the detention center's guards counted her belongings correctly, they handed them to her, and Li's mother bowed, ignored Li Dian, and walked out of the detention center alone.
The sunlight outside was a little dazzling, and when Mother Li came out, she unconsciously blocked it with her hands, Laiyang dragged Li Dian to follow quickly, and when she walked to the side of the street, Laiyang took the lead in speaking.
"Auntie, do you want to eat something first? There's a teppanyaki shop across the street, and there were quite a few people when we came over to see it......"
"Where's the money?" Mother Li stood still, her eyes were like knives, and she glanced at the two of them.
"The money is in the car, Mom, I want to ......"
"Where's the car?"
It can be seen that she still has a lot of resentment in her heart, which will just endure and not release.
When he came to the small mini car, Laiyang pulled the car door and bent down to take it out and handed it to Li Dian. Li Dian pinched the banknotes wrapped in brown paper and took a deep breath.
"Mom, this is 50,000 yuan, you can take it back."
Mother Li took the brown paper bag, looked down inside, then looked at Laiyang and said, "Come here, I'll talk to you." β
Lai Yang was a little dazed, and after staring at Li Dian for a few seconds, he chased after Li Dian and walked more than ten meters before stopping.
Mother Li turned around and looked at Laiyang expressionlessly: "Do you think your theater can last long?" β
ββ¦β¦ Auntie, I understand what you mean, making money is very important, but a person's pursuit and happiness are more important, Li Dian and I love this industry, love performance, even if there is no money to make, we can do it for a long time. β
"Hmph."
Mother Li snorted, reached out and rubbed her red eyes, and said.
"Do you know how naΓ―ve you are to say that? Let me tell you, money is the most important thing in the world, love, pursuit, and affection, and it is worthless in front of money! So I'm not optimistic about you at all, and instead of making money by laughing like a beggar, it's better for him to go back with me and find a stable job. β
These words were hard to hear, and they also touched Laiyang's emotions.
"Auntie, I also think that money is important, but it is not the most important thing, as far as you and Li Dian are concerned, if you can usually accompany him a little more, it will not be ......"
"Hehehe, companionship? Did Li Dianyou tell you, did his father commit domestic violence against me? β
Laiyang was stunned.
"Do you know why? It's the companionship you said, I want to stay at home with my son, but men can't make money, so they will only sprinkle all their anger on women and slap me in the face again and again......"
These words directly subverted Laiyang's perception of Li's father, at this time, Li's mother forcibly controlled her emotions, her chest rose and fell violently, but tears still overflowed unconsciously.
"Then I went out to work and I earned more than him! Li Dian is also a little older, he can't do it anymore, but every night before going to bed, he will ask you who you went out to talk about business with, and ask who the man in your circle of friends is! Why is he like this, he is inferior, he is poor! β
Mother Li kept wiping her tears and suppressed her hoarse voice.
"I can only go out to play mahjong, only at the poker table day and night can I forget these pains, I tell you, the poor are the most indifferent and ruthless, when you are poor, even your relatives will not help you, let alone others? If you can't even understand this now, I can almost see the future of you and Li Dian! β
At this time, Laiyang's mind suddenly thought of the pregnant woman on the subway yesterday.
She squeezed into the crowd with a big belly, and the whole carriage chose to be silent, or wore headphones, or looked at the screen of her mobile phone, all of them separated themselves into a world of their own.
Everyone is apathetic.
Maybe it's not that they're indifferent, it's because their lives are all over the place, they're exhausted, and they really don't have time to take care of others.
But this is the same ending as Mother Li's saying that the poor are the most indifferent.
Then Laiyang also thought of himself, when he saw Tian Jing and the little turtle together, he would indeed feel a little inferior.
Although he has been changing this mentality, he can also imagine that if he is really with Tian Jing in the future, she will deal with all kinds of men every day for work, and he will stay at home with no power......
That feeling will drive you crazy!
He was even more worried about how pathetic he would have to be if he was tired and "bent over" to talk to himself one day.
Love, really not only companionship is enough.
"And you don't know much about Li Dian, he seems to be a very restrained person, but in his bones he is the same as his father, when he is restrained and patient to a certain extent, once he goes crazy, he does more crazy things than ordinary people, when he ran away from home, he smashed all the refrigerators and TVs in my house, and took all the money away, did he tell you?"
Mother Li's words were more dazzling and piercing than the sunlight behind her.
Mother Li's tears dried, as if the pent-up emotions in her chest had also been released, she gasped, and her voice gradually stabilized.
"Everyone has two sides, and if you only see one side, you don't know him at all...... That's it, no one listens to me, so whatever......"
Mother Li turned around and left, Laiyang stood in place, and a few seconds later, Li Dian rushed over, glanced at him, and then chased after his mother.
He seemed to be saying something to his mother, but Mother Li left without looking back, until Li Dian stopped lonely, until Mother Li disappeared into the crowd across the street.
Laiyang took out a cigarette and picked up the lighter sent by Tian Jing, but the sunlight just refracted into his eyes through the lighter, and his vision was flashed by the light, so the lighter turned black in a second or two......
Two sides?
How much do I know the other side of Li Dian today, but what about tranquility?
I've never seen the other side of her, does that mean I don't know her?
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, a distraught Laiyang came to Xu Mo's studio.
Yuan Shengda's matter also gave him a headache, which made him want to listen to Xu Mo's conjecture first.
In the studio, Xu Mo was still teaching painting to a few children, so Laiyang sat bored in front of a vertical clip, staring at a blank piece of painting paper in a daze.
Gradually, he saw different faces on this piece of paper......
There are Gu Qian, Tian Jing, Yuan Shengda, Li Dian, Li Mu and himself, and every time a person appears, a different voice will appear in his ears.
Lai Yang covered his ears and buried his head in his knees, his eyes closed, but the sound in his head could not be stopped.
It's making Laiyang decide quickly!
Is it to join the light patrol, or to accompany the tranquility, or to wait and see......
At this moment, Xu Mo's voice sounded.
"I thought you weren't coming, huh, I finally had time to remember that you were small, right?"
