Chapter 60: Reconciliation
"What's the noise? What are you arguing about? The shopkeeper leaned over and said, "What's the matter?" Am I still in business like this? ”
After coming and seeing that it was Song Yi again, the shopkeeper blew up again: "Song Yi, why do you have everything?"
"No, I'm dealing with our private affairs, what's your business?"
Song Yi didn't want to offend Wen Xin at this time, he was angry, he couldn't be angry, he wanted to jump up and fight with the boss.
Looking at the eyes of the people around her, Wen Xin was still sensible, she didn't want to disturb the boss doing business, and she didn't want to watch Song Yi play a scoundrel in front of so many people.
"Boss, I'm sorry, Uncle Song and I are a little conflicted, he is a little out of shape, can you see if you can forgive me in my face." Then she said, "Your food is good, I like it a lot, for the sake of what I plan to eat more often in the future, or forget it." ”
Wen Xin's beauty played a role, seeing that the beauties in front of her said so, the boss had no choice but to put out the fire and beckoned everyone to have a good meal.
Song Yi looked at Wen Xin in front of him to defend himself, and laughed twice: "Our daughter is out of breath, and she knows that she is protecting me."
Wen Xin was a little speechless.
Song Yi saw that he had calmed down a little, and he poured another glass of wine.
"I'll tell you the truth." Song Yi said.
Wen Xin ate with her head down, just like just now.
Song Yi took some peanuts in his hand and chewed them in his mouth, and Wen Xin saw that he was nauseous again.
"Actually, my wife!" Song Yi said to himself, "When I was still here before, I liked to gamble, and I was very addicted!" ”
Wen Xin became a little interested, and raised her head to look at Song Yi.
Seeing that Wen Xin was interested and had a chance, Song Yi hurriedly pulled out a photo from the mezzanine of his wallet.
"Who is this?" Wen Xin asked.
The woman in the photo is very young and beautiful, with a pair of charming eyes that look affectionate, and she looks pitiful.
"My wife, look pretty."
"Hmm!"
"People look quite white, but there is a problem."
"I didn't show it when I wasn't married before, but after I got married, I became more and more indulgent - she was a gambler. As for her, she runs to gamble every day, and the family doesn't care about it, and she doesn't take my daughter with her, and the child is hungry and has no milk to eat. ”
"Didn't you persuade her?" Wen Xin retracted her gaze, what a good girl, it's a pity that she got involved in gambling, Wen Xin thought to herself.
"I persuaded her, but she wouldn't listen!" Song Yi lit another puff of cigarette, "I can't help it, one day I just came home after work, my daughter was crying, I specially told her in the morning that I might have to come back late today, let her cook and feed the child well, but as soon as I came back, she was gone, and I was very angry." ”
"I don't have anything to eat, I can't starve the child."
Speaking of this, Wen Xin's heart flashed with a trace of sympathy, and her eyes urged Song Yi to continue.
"Then I went to the casino she frequented and found her, and she was gambling so much that she didn't remember what I told her."
"Then I couldn't get angry, so I hit her and overturned her table."
"Then the mother-in-law broke her mouth and kept saying that I was not good at the card table, and the fact that I beat her became more and more black, and it spread ten or ten times."
Wen Xin was speechless, silently savoring what Song Yi said.
"Then the people on the streets began to say that I was not good, especially the few who were virtuous with her at the card table, and from then on, she began to quarrel with me often, and there was basically no quiet day in the house."
"We have been getting divorced, and I am thinking, for the sake of my daughter, I can just endure it."
"But then one day, I learned that this woman gambled more and more, and in the end, she owed a lot of debt."
"Then she quarreled with me again, went crazy and asked me for money, and if she didn't give it, she would get a divorce."
"I couldn't get angry, I hit her the second time, and then she ran away with a guy, I don't know where she went, but she left me a lot of debt, and then I found out, how much she owed."
"Then I was desperate, this family was broken, I had no choice but to sell the family's old house to make up for it, and then pull my daughter to grow up alone."
"After my daughter finally got married, I was left alone in the family, and I came back empty every day, and then I began to give up more and more on myself, numbing myself with alcohol and playing cards every day, so that I didn't look so empty."
Wen Xin was deeply touched when she heard this, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red, Song Yi was a real man, at least a good father.
Deep compassion has flooded in Wen Xin's heart.
"Wen Xin, do you know, it was you who came, this family was angry again, uncle, I felt alive again, sure enough, it was good to have a girl's family at home!"
Hearing these words, Wen Xin's heart really moved, Wen Xin thought to herself, is this the real reason why Song Yi adopted him? Is it possible that I really blamed him?
Wen Xin looked back and thought about it, Wen Long used to drink and like to play drunk, in fact, she didn't understand it, although she was not completely drunk, but after watching Wen Long's drunkenness, maybe her behavior was really out of her control.
She looked at Song Yi in front of her, and Song Yi was looking at the photo of his wife with red eyes.
She began to think about what the man in front of her said, she felt, sometimes Wen Xin often felt that she was the one who was treated differently by life, but in fact it was not like that, life was very fair and just, it would not treat anyone differently, and Song Yi in front of her was living in the same depression and pain as her.
Whether it is his wife's disregard for the family, her addiction to gambling, and then the ruthlessness and injustice of being the shopkeeper and leaving with the man, or the emptiness of the family after his daughter got married, life gave Song Yi the same blow, maybe it was really because of this that he became addicted to smoking, gambling, and became a self-depraved person.
Wen Xin glanced up at the ceiling, and then her eyes fell on the people around her, all kinds of people who came to eat here, workers, taxi drivers, takeaway boys...... Everyone is running for their own life, and everyone is trying their best to survive.
From the first day she came to Linbei, she had actually seen that living numbly every day in the dark was the main theme of the people living in this place.
Wen Xin was moved, she gently dragged Song Yi's hand, and then said, "It's not your fault, Uncle Song!" ”
Uncle Song raised his head, he wanted to squeeze out some tears in his eyes to make himself look realistic, but he couldn't squeeze it out, looking at Wen Xin in front of him, the motherly light shrouded Wen Xin's surroundings, he knew that his words had worked, and his heart began to secretly rejoice, this girl is too easy to deceive.
"Uncle Song, didn't I come? I'm still with you! Wen Xin said.
Song Yi decided to take the next step: "Wen Xin, can you call me Dad?" I know it might be hard, but I'd like to hear it. ”
Wen Xin was stunned, she was very resistant, and she didn't know what to say.
"Uncle Song, this, this is not good, I think...... I don't think it's a good fit. ”
"Okay, it seems that it's still a bit rushed, let's come to Japan for a long time, and we'll talk about it later."
"Hmmm! It's a long time coming. ”
Song Yi nodded gratefully, and then stretched out his hand: "Okay, Wen Xin, let's finally come out for a meal, and don't talk about those bad things." ”
Wen Xin softly said, "Hmm! "Yes.
In Wen Xin's eyes, Song Yi was very happy, he drank glass after glass of wine, Wen Xin filled himself a bowl of soup, and then looked at Song Yi.
"Uncle Song, will you drink less wine?"
Song Yi was stunned: "I'm happy today, Wen Xin, let me have a good drink, do you think it." ”
"I'm afraid you'......" Wen Xin didn't continue.
Song Yi smiled, and he waved his hand: "What Uncle promised you, he will definitely do." ”
Wen Xin was speechless and buried herself in eating her own food.
Song Yi drank glass after glass of wine, and even felt unhappy, and then asked for another bottle of liquor to drink.
Soon he was so drunk that he couldn't speak clearly, and now he saw that he had almost eaten the meal, Wen Xin said.
"Almost, Uncle Song, let's go." Wen Xin wiped her mouth with a napkin and said.
