Chapter 158: Disappointment, Despair
On this day, Li Xiumei prepared the meal and put it on the table, but no one had the heart to take a bite.
Li Xiumei went to the back room, sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed her sister's hands, while Cheng Jia'an and Cheng Jianghai sat silently on both sides, and the atmosphere at home was gloomy and extremely depressing.
At this moment, two sad cries came from outside, and Cheng Jiangshui and Cheng Jianghe broke into the house at the same time.
"Mom, Mom!"
The two staggered into the house and went straight to their mother's bedside. When they saw Li Xiulan's miserable appearance, the two knelt down in front of the bed in grief, tears sliding down desperately.
Cheng Jiangshui's mournful cry was heartbreaking: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Mom, open your eyes, look at me! I'm Jiangshui, I'm back, I'm back! β
Seven years, a whole seven years.
Cheng Jiangshui, who stayed alone in Longyou, didn't miss his mother for a day, and there was also anticipation between his thoughts. She hoped that her mother would change her mind and nod her head gently for the marriage she was looking forward to, so that she could return with the person she loved and always be with her parents from now on.
Her father's letter let her know that her mother was finally showing signs of loosening. For this reason, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night, and her hard hope for her dependence finally paid off, and she was about to start the happiest chapter of her life.
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for her was such a sad scene.
Cheng Jiangshui also knows that after seven years, his mother is talking about herself all the time, looking forward to her daughter returning to her side.
But now, your daughter has finally returned, why can't you look at her!
Do you want to cruelly keep your mother's final voice in the memory of her farewell seven years ago?
"Jiangshui, my river......"
Cheng Jiangshui cried so much that he cried blood, and Cheng Jianghe on the other side also cried silently: "Mom! Aren't you good? Why did you become like this, why is that? β
The scene of my mother's farewell at the station crossed my mind, and the palpitations in my heart at that time have now come true.
Cheng Jianghe hated himself, why didn't he spend more time with his mother, not long after parting, his mother fell down so suddenly.
Li Xiumei, who was on the side, wiped her tears sadly and said in a choked voice: "Jiangshui, Jianghe." Don't say it, your mother can't hear anything now. β
With tears on his cheeks, Cheng Jianghe suddenly raised his head and asked urgently: "Aunt, tell me, how did my mother become like this?" β
"What the hell is you...... Ay! β
Looking at Li Xiumei's unspeakable appearance, Cheng Jianghe suddenly changed color, he could feel that there must be something strange in this, and couldn't help but shout: "Tell me quickly!" β
Cheng Jiangshui on the side also stopped crying, turned his head and cast his puzzled eyes on Cheng Jia'an, who was standing sadly on the side, Cheng Jianghe hurriedly stepped forward and repeated again: "Dad, Dad!" Why is my mom like this...... Tell me! β
Cheng Jia'an's heart was like a knife for a while, and under the pressure of his children, he was speechless at all, beat his chest and sat down on the edge of the bed, and cried out sadly: "Evil, it's all evil!" β
Looking at the grief-stricken Cheng Jia'an, Li Xiumei wiped her tears and pulled Cheng Jianghe, who was on the verge of madness, to her side.
"Jiang He, come to my aunt, let me tell you......"
The cause and effect are very simple to say, and can even be summed up in three words, that is-Cheng Jianghai!
When the ins and outs of everything were repeated, even Cheng Jiangshui, who had always been gentle, couldn't believe her ears, and she looked at Cheng Jianghai who was already standing in the outhouse, looking at her with a sad face.
"Jianghai...... It's you! β
I haven't seen my brother for a few years, and I still have the impression of the naughty child who loves to be sticky by his side, calling his sister sweetly, and begging for food and drink. But now that she looks at her younger brother whose body and physique have changed greatly, and only her face still vaguely has the appearance of the year, she would never have thought that the source of all this evil would come from this little brother who she has cared for and loved the most since childhood.
However, Cheng Jianghe's senses were completely opposite, he vaguely felt that his mother's accident was inextricably linked to this stubborn bastard.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a complete perpetrator.
Thinking about the moment of parting, I was also told thousands of times, and I was moved by his reluctance in an instant. Now that I think about it, I am still too naΓ―ve.
As much hope as there is to give, there is as much disappointment as there is in return.
There are really dogs in this world who can't change their, and Cheng Jianghai is one of them.
It was on fire, this time completely and completely surrounded by rage.
He turned back suddenly, staring murderously at Cheng Jianghai who was standing up. stepped forward quickly, grabbed Cheng Jianghai's collar fiercely, raised his hands up, and roared through gritted teeth: "It's you again, it's you again!" What did I say when I left? Say, what did I say! Why are you still like this! Why? You're a brute, I'll kill you! I'll beat you to death! β
Cheng Jianghe's angry fists and feet fell on Cheng Jianghai's body like raindrops, and he didn't mean to show any mercy.
According to the past, Cheng Jianghai must cry and dodge, and then shout again and again: I was wrong, I don't dare anymore! I will change, I will change!
But what surprised Cheng Jianghe was that Cheng Jianghai uncharacteristically did not beg for mercy, did not cry, did not justify, and even beat him with no spare strength, Cheng Jianghai did not let out a single moan.
His dull face seemed to have lost some kind of soul, like an empty walking corpse. This made Cheng Jianghe even more angry in his doubts, grabbed Cheng Jianghai's collar again, and roared with a hideous face.
"Why don't you defend yourself? Why don't you beg for mercy? Why don't you say you're wrong again? I'll kill you, I'll kill you! β
Just as Cheng Jianghe was persevering and preparing to continue the beating, Cheng Jiangshui suppressed his voice and shouted, "Enough...... Cheng Jianghe, I've said enough! β
Cheng Jianghe's eyes burst, his chest rose and fell violently, his mouth panted, and he retorted pathetically: "Sister, do you still want to protect him at this time?" β
Cheng Jiangshui's grief-stricken face showed unconcealable anger: "If you kill him, will your mother wake up?" β
Cheng Jianghe pointed at Cheng Jianghai's nose with red and swollen eyes, and shouted angrily: "Could it be that he just let him go, he is the culprit, and he should be punished!" β
Step by step, Cheng Jiangshui walked over with a sad face and stopped in front of the silent Cheng Jianghai.
On the moving cheeks that could not find the slightest flaw, now there is endless anger, and in the bright eyes of the autumn water, the doting and pity that once disappeared without a trace, leaving only a deep disappointment.
Cheng Jianghai slowly raised his head and looked at his sister, who used to love and care for him very much, but now the frost on his face made his heart palpitate. He pursed his lips in an expectant tone.
"Sister......
Suddenly, Cheng Jiangshui raised her slap angrily, but stopped in mid-air, she clenched her silver teeth tightly, but her palm couldn't hit anything.
Looking at Cheng Jianghai's eyes that suddenly showed despair, there was still a hint of pleading. Cheng Jiangshui's heart softened, and then he put down his arm in pain, and said sadly: "Jianghai, you really ...... Really disappointed my sister......"
