Tuanchang, Cheng's family.

Du Wanling came, with her son's ardent expectations, with her own deep guilt and pain. She did not go straight to Cheng's house, but came to the health center first. She really didn't have the courage to face Li Xiulan, so she could only meet the more gentle Cheng Jia'an in advance.

Maybe he can communicate well with Li Xiulan accompanied by him, and try to make up for the irreparable rift between the two families as much as possible.

When he saw Du Wanling appear at the door with a panicked face, Cheng Jia'an didn't seem surprised, as if he had expected it a long time ago, but nodded gloomily and motioned for her to sit down.

"It's coming!"

"Well, Brother Jia'an, I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to get to such a point! I'm ashamed of you! Du Wanling said apologetically.

Cheng Jia'an sat on the chair, drooped his head, frowned and said, "I didn't expect it to be like this, Wanling, I don't blame you!" ”

Du Wanling's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she gritted her teeth and muttered, "Actually, I don't have the face to see you again." But if I don't come, I won't even have the courage to be a human being. I didn't dare to go directly to the house, I really didn't know how to face Xiulan's sister-in-law. ”

Cheng Jia'an stroked his forehead dejectedly, and said sadly: "She, her mental state has been not good, and she has not been able to go to work in the past two days, and she has been raising her at home. ”

Du Wanling raised her head in panic and said, "She, she's okay, right?" ”

Cheng Jia'an shook his head slowly and said, "You know her character, I'm afraid this bend is difficult to turn around, and she is still angry with herself!" ”

"So, can I still see her?" Du Wanling asked worriedly.

Cheng Jia'an's face stiffened slightly, frowned, and said, "Wanling, what Wei Guo said is very clear. I can also understand that for so many years, in fact, we have had very little contact with Weiguo, and we don't know each other very well. But what Wei Guo said is also right, Yi'an will do great things in the future, and he needs a partner who can be like-minded and make progress together, not a housewife who shares weal and woe and accompanies him day and night...... Hey, forget it! ”

Although Cheng Jia'an's words were relaying He Weiguo's ideas, a helpless self-deprecation and lingering resentment could be heard in his voice. In other words, he was rejecting Du Wanling's request in this euphemistic way.

Why bother!

Du Wanling's face was bitter, and she tried her best to explain to Cheng Jia'an: "Brother Jia'an, that's just his family's words, Jiang Shui is an excellent child, and I like it very much." Weiguo has changed over the years, and even I am surprised. But I can't watch their father and son break up and become strangers, so Yi'an's life will be ruined. ”

Cheng Jia'an nodded gloomily: "I understand!" So, Wanling, we don't have to force many things, it's not good for anyone to go on like this. ”

Listening to Cheng Jia'an's repeated refusals, Du Wanling looked sad and begged again: "Brother Jia'an, can you take me to see Xiulan's sister-in-law?" It was with shame, remorse, and sin that I wanted to ask for her forgiveness. ”

Seeing that Du Wanling was so persistent, Cheng Jia'an could only nod painfully and agree.

Li Xiulan was really sick this time, her qi and blood were blocked, her face was pale, and she had a low-grade fever. In recent days, he couldn't get out of bed, covered with a thick quilt, and coughed twice from time to time, and his whole mental state became haggard.

When Du Wanling saw this scene, the guilt in her heart was even worse, looking at Li Xiulan, who was close at hand, she didn't even dare to step forward.

Cheng Jia'an frowned: "Go ahead, I'll pour you some water!" With an excuse to leave, he left the space to the two sisters who were originally deeply compatible.

Du Wanling nodded, and then she came to the edge of the kang in a tangled manner, and choked up: "Sister-in-law Xiulan, I'm here!" ”

Li Xiulan slowly raised her eyelids, and when she saw that it was Du Wanling coming, she didn't have the slightest expression on her face, she sat up with her body propped up, and responded lightly and tastelessly.

"Coming?"

Seeing Li Xiulan's haggard face, how could there be a trace of the domineering of the female man she was familiar with, coupled with the other party's indifferent attitude of rejecting people, which made Du Wanling even more worried.

Her eyes were red and red: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law Xiulan, in fact, I have no face to face you, I really don't have this face, but I still have to come shamelessly." Sister-in-law Xiulan, I am also a mother, I can't watch my child die in pain and I am indifferent. So, I have to come, I want to ask for your forgiveness, I want to come and get your forgiveness. Sister-in-law Xiulan, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! ”

"What are you talking about now?"

Li Xiulan's faint words were like a glass of boiled boiled water, without a trace of warmth: "Wanling, I'm not a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. You are not wrong, Yi'an is not wrong, and even He Weiguo is not wrong, what is wrong is our fate. If it weren't for the foster care of the child at the beginning, there would not be today's result, this is not a good fate is a bad fate. ”

Hearing Li Xiulan's self-defeating words, Du Wanling was ashamed and wanted to get into the cracks in the ground, she leaned over slightly, grabbed Li Xiulan's arm, and said apologetically: "Sister-in-law Xiulan, we are ashamed of you, and we will pay for the pain before we repay it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are wolf-hearted." ”

The corners of Li Xiulan's mouth turned up coldly, and she said with self-pity: "What else are you talking about, whether you are kind or unkind, and you are unkind!" We never thought about asking you to repay the favor, nor did we expect our children to grow up to do anything for us. We just regard Yi'an as a part of the family, there is no intimacy, no distance, but it backfires, it's not yours after all. ”

Du Wanling shook her head in panic, sobbed and said, "Sister-in-law, I understand, this matter is like a knife piercing your heart, and I can feel the heart-rending pain." There's nothing wrong with your resentment, your anger, your disgust. But I still want to pray to you, just focus this hatred and this grudge on me and Weiguo, and they are innocent. ”

"Wanling, let's not say anything at this point, as I said, Yi'an is not wrong, and you are not wrong." Li Xiulan raised her head slightly, looked at Du Wanling's sad eyes lightly, let out a sigh in her heart, and said with hatred: "But we are indeed not people on the same road, even if it is for the good of the child, we ...... Let's break up. ”

This last sentence made Du Wanling feel like thunder, and her face suddenly became pale: "Scattered? Sister-in-law Xiulan! You! Do you really think so? ”

Li Xiulan slowly turned her face away, and in the place where Du Wanling couldn't see, she showed a hint of cone-like pain, and said resolutely: "Yes, this is also what I have thought about over and over again, let's disperse, I don't want to be more painful in the future, I don't want to suffer this kind of sin again." ”

The half-life sisters, who shared weal and woe in the wind and rain, and established the purest and true love step by step, are now being cut to pieces by the ruthless knife and axe brought by He Weiguo, and it is difficult to continue.

The final decision made by Li Xiulan may be more cruel and decisive than that of He Weiguo.

Isn't this the best ending you He Weiguo wants!

Well, here you go! Since then, the grace has been cut off, and the rivers and lakes have been forgotten.

Du Wanling seemed to have completely understood Li Xiulan at this moment, her heart was so sad and broken. Even if you twist it and pile it together and try your best to put it together, it can't be restored to its original body, and then continue to supply blood and oxygen to the two families.

Du Wanling nodded sadly, tears rolled down, and endless guilt was revealed in the sad language: "I...... I see, sister-in-law! In any case, I remember this kindness, and I will not forget this feeling, after all, we are guilty of it...... Sister-in-law, I'm leaving, take care of yourself, I hope we will meet one day......"

Li Xiulan never turned around to look at Du Wanling again, leaning over her body and trying to control her body, telling herself to be strong, not to tremble, not to cry.

Du Wanling turned around step by step, walked out of the door painfully, and smiled sadly at Cheng Jia'an, who was standing outside, the meaning was self-evident.

"Wanling!" Cheng Jia'an called out bitterly.

Du Wanling forcibly pulled out a bleak smile: "Brother Jia'an, don't blame Xiulan's sister-in-law, I know that she is also very painful in her heart when she makes this decision." ”

Cheng Jia'an nodded dejectedly: "I know!" ”

Du Wanling looked at Cheng Jia'an sadly, and her heart was gloomy: "Brother Jia'an, maybe there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future, you should take care of yourself." ”

Cheng Jia'an's eyes sank slightly, and he hesitated: "What?" You ......"

Du Wanling sighed deeply, seemingly tepid, but the sadness that could not be concealed was all shown on her face: "Originally, I was unwilling to follow Weiguo's advice and transfer to Lanzhou, but now, ...... I really don't have the shame to stay on this land. Maybe it's an escape, an escape from one's own responsibilities, an escape from one's own shame...... I can only silently bless you while hiding myself in the sand like an ostrich and hiding from you. ”

Cheng Jia'an frowned and asked, "It's really decided?" ”

"Well, it's decided." Du Wanling nodded, and then looked at Cheng Jia'an hopefully, her eyes revealing the sadness of parting: "Brother Jia'an, what will you need in the future, I hope, I hope you and your sister-in-law can still think of me!" I can still help you, even if it's atonement, goodbye! ”

Cheng Jia'an nodded bitterly: "Hmm! Bye! ”

Du Wanling left, Cheng Jia'an stood alone like this, and waited until Du Wanling's figure disappeared completely, and then turned back to the house with a gloomy sigh.

In front of Li Xiulan still sitting on the kang in a daze, Cheng Jia'an sat on the bench dejectedly, holding it for a long time before muttering: "Wanling left, saying that she was going to be transferred to Lanzhou, and ...... in the future Will never come back......"

After a while, Li Xiulan's dull eyes slowly focused, and a sour and painful pain gushed out from the bottom of her heart rushed into her mind, and with a "wow", Li Xiulan lay on the kang table and cried bitterly like a child......

Now this is a farewell, where will we meet;

The world is on the boat, and it can live along the river......

The midsummer passed, and the cold dew was miserable.

It was the early autumn season, and on the road outside the regimental field, the cold wind was blowing, the fallen leaves were yellow, and an inexplicable sadness lingered in Cheng Jiangshui's heart, and even the birds in the treetops were full of sorrow in the mourning.

Suddenly looking back, I suddenly felt that my face was wet. Look up, oh, it's rain, it's autumn rain. I don't know that the autumn wind doesn't know the trace of sadness in people's hearts at this moment, and gives cold dew like tears as soon as possible.

In the light rain, Cheng Jiangshui pushed his bicycle and walked side by side with Cheng Jianghe on the way home. Cheng Jianghe looked at his sister with a depressed expression and asked depressedly.

"Sister, so Brother Yi'an will never come back?"

"Perhaps!" Cheng Jiangshui nodded sadly, without a trace of brilliance in his eyes.

Cheng Jianghe scratched his head in distress: "Then what should I do?" Sister, can you forget Brother Yi'an? ”

Cheng Jiangshui pursed his lips and did not answer, his eyes drifted into the distance.

Cheng Jianghe muttered unconsciously, a little resentful in his heart: "I can't forget Brother Yi'an, he said that he will return to Longyou after graduation in the future, and he will live with us, how can he change his hexagram while talking!" ”

Cheng Jiangshui shook his head slightly: "It's not Brother Yi'an's fault!" ”

Cheng Jianghe glared, looking very puzzled: "Whose fault is that?" I asked my dad, but he wouldn't say. Sister, is it because Brother Yi'an's father came to our house to quarrel last time? But why is that? Brother Yi'an has lived in our house for more than ten years, why can't we live together in the future! ”

"Rivers!"

"Well, sister, where am I?"

"Grow up quickly! When you grow up, you will be able to understand what it means to have no part! ”

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Cheng Jianghe frowned, looking very puzzled.

Cheng Jiangshui took a deep breath and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's nothing, life has to go on, the pain depends on time, let's go, let's go home......"
