CHAPTER XLII

The peaceful days were torn off page by page, and the high school entrance examination was soon over, Wang Chu kept imagining that Li Haoran would enter high school with the standard of the high school entrance examination admission score line, even if it was one or two points more. As she wished, she saw the published scores in the group, and the score was twelve points lower than the admission cut-off, and she almost didn't want to believe her eyes, so she re-added each score, and it turned out that he was not selected.

Wang Chu saw Li Haoran park his bicycle from the window, and when she walked through the door, she looked at his face, her face revealed hope and vitality at the same time, and her eyes seemed to radiate colorful light, which could illuminate the place where he looked.

"Mom, don't be surprised." Li Haoran explained with a hippie smile, "I know it's hard for you to give up on me, you will miss me, and I will miss you." ”

"Did you deliberately lose twelve points?" Wang Chu turned to him and asked.

"I've really tried my best, Mom, find me a school urgently."

Wang Chu shook his head, looking quite powerless, "I don't know what kind of school to find for you." ”

"Mom, can I recommend a few to you? My brother of Yang Qiang's family went to Xi'an Railway Transportation School, my classmate's brother went to Anhui Aviation Technical School, some went to serve as soldiers, and some went to private schools to ....... ”

"Alright." Wang Chu seemed a little impatient, "I don't know much about the railway school, you are still young as a soldier, and the private school is too expensive, I think the aviation technology school is not bad, you can contact your classmate brother." ”

"Okay, Mom, I'll contact you." Li Haoran's face was like bright sunshine, and he entered his room triumphantly after speaking.

"Go see your grandparents during the holidays." Wang Chu instructed.

"I'm not going." Speaking of this, Li Haoran raised his domineering eyebrows, "They don't want me anymore, why do I still want them?" ”

"Obedient Li Haoran." Wang Chu dissuaded, "After all, it's your grandparents, it's not your grandparents who are at fault, go and see them, after all, they are old, and they see each other less." ”

"Okay." Li Haoran reluctantly agreed, and then closed the door.

Regarding Li Haoran to see his grandparents, he was included in the travel plan after two weeks of vacation, Wang Chu urged twice, he said, he had to spare enough time to go, otherwise he would have to come back in less than half a day, when she asked what she was busy with all day, he only said, "Mom, you don't care, anyway, I didn't do anything to steal chickens and dogs." ”

One day at noon, Li Haoran called her and told her, "Mom, I'm at grandma's house." ”

"Why didn't you ask me for the passage fee? And go to your grandma's house to buy some fruit or something, don't go empty-handed. ”

"Mom, I have my own travel expenses, and I also bought fruits, you don't have to worry."

"Where did you get the money?"

"I earned it, you don't have to worry about it."

"You kid, what are you doing outside when you go out early and come home late all day? You've got to let me know. ”

"Oh Mom, you don't care, anyway, I didn't do anything illegal and undisciplined."

As soon as the words fell, the other party hung up the phone, "This kid." Wang Chu said, "What are Hao Hao doing all day long when he goes out early and returns late?" She asked her mother, who came from the kitchen, who wore an apron around her waist, put a plate of braised beef on the table in her hand, and wiped her hand on the apron, "I found it under the sheets when I was cleaning his room." The mother handed a tower of oilskin paper to Wang Chu, "Look at the advertisement above is real estate, I don't understand the specifics." ”

"So much?" Wang Chu flipped through the contents, "No wonder." ”

"Auntie, my classmates saw my brother handing out flyers in the square." Wang Anwen held the book in her arms and poked her head out of the room and said.

Wang Chu took the list and was about to go out, but his mother shouted, "Why are you going?" It's time to eat. ”

"Don't wait for me, you can eat first." After Wang Chu finished speaking, he went out, drove to the address on the flyer, found the person in charge in the marketing center, and learned that Li Haoran and several classmates took these flyers every day to distribute flyers in places with a lot of traffic, "Your son only sent flyers for half a month, and I paid their salaries once a day, and the salary was given according to the number of flyers they distributed." ”

"This kid." Wang Chu walked out of the marketing center, "I know that I am making money." Her heart was really warm, and there was bitterness in her touch.

One day three days later, she had just finished answering a few customer calls, took the car keys and was about to go out, when Li Haoran suddenly called, "Mom, my grandmother broke her leg, come and take her to the hospital." ”

"Why did you break your leg again?" Wang Chu asked.

"Grandma accidentally fell down the stairs, come on."

"Okay, I'll go over right away." Wang Chu hung up the phone, she sent the phone numbers of several customers to Wang Baochang on WeChat, and then dialed his phone again, "Master Wang, I can't get out of the car today, I sent you four customers, you go to the airport." ”

Hanging up the phone, Wang Chu found that her mother looked at her with an extremely dissatisfied and strange gaze, "Why are you going to go to the sports car?" She asked.

"Grandma Haohao's leg is broken, I'll take a look."

"What are you looking at?" The mother stood up from the sofa and jumped like thunder, "I'll tell you, you are not allowed to go to me, he Li Xiangyang is not dead, you are both divorced, and it is not your turn to run before and after." ”

"No, Li Xiangyang is still more than 300 kilometers away from here, and he won't be able to come back for a while."

"That's not allowed." Mother yelled, "Tell me what your mother-in-law did to me?" Half a month ago, I went to his house with your father, thinking that you were divorced Haohao was so rebellious, for the sake of the child, let them persuade his son to remarry, don't you know what your evil mother-in-law said about me? What did you say to me when you left the capital? Your girl doesn't live with my son all day long, either she runs away from home or I kick my son out of the house, and I give my son a lifetime of hard work to calculate, see what good man your daughter can find after divorce. At that time, the grumpy mother was so angry that she was speechless, and took her father's hand and went out.

"Mom, what did you say you and my dad are doing, it took me more than ten years to get divorced, you and my dad are not boring!"

"I'm telling you, if you go, you're bored, and if you have the backbone, you won't be allowed to go."

"What does this have to do with whether you have a backbone?" After Wang Chu finished speaking, he picked up the car keys and went out, his mother didn't stop him, she and Li Haoran successfully sent her mother-in-law to the hospital and went through inpatient surgery.

"Thank you, Chu Chu, you are so busy and I have to trouble you." When the mother-in-law was lying on the hospital bed, she spoke, looking quite embarrassed.

"I'm fine." Wang Chu replied.

Xiang Yang said. The mother-in-law said unspeakably, "He has been busy for the past two days, and he can't come for the time being, your father has already contacted your sister, and she will arrive in two days, and she will have to trouble you in these two days." ”

"Yes." Wang Chu nodded, although he was dissatisfied, he still nodded happily.

After spending three days with her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law did not mention that her mother and father had been to her house, let alone speak ill of her mother. She said that an old man surnamed Han in the community died suddenly, under the age of 75. Wang Chu knew that this person was the father of his colleague Han Qi, his colleague's wife and two daughters couldn't stand Han Qi's long-term domestic violence and ran away from home, the wages he earned were never given to the family, either smoking and drinking or gambling, Wang Chu and the director of the Women's Federation mediated the husband and wife because of this matter, his wife said that he used various ways to coax him back every time he hit, countless times, drank alcohol and lost his temper to do it, and scolded his daughter to die, and threw her out of the window several times. The mediation was unsuccessful, and her wife had long since decided not to return to the home, so she left the house after the mediation failed, saying "resolutely divorce". Wang Chu deeply experienced this kind of pain, and also understood his wife's suffering, at that time she was still deeply trapped in the pain of marriage, she naturally hoped that this woman with a hard life would also be freed.

Later, Han Qi didn't eat on time for a long time, ate a few peanuts and melon seeds when he was hungry, and occasionally cooked a meal, his parents often called him to eat when he cooked, but he didn't go all the time, there was never a shortage of wine at the dinner table, and it was common for him to sleep with a few glasses of wine when he was hungry. In order to take care of him, the leader of the unit agreed to let him collect the report at home and report the statistics to Sister Feng, but his colleagues were very worried, and called or visited every other day, and his parents died in less than two years.

As the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate, what kind of cause people plant in this life will have what kind of results, Wang Chu hopes that Li Xiangyang will have such a day after all, to be honest, she swore to make him pay the price when she hated it so much in the middle of the night that she even trembled, as a leading cadre, he is not worthy of sitting in that position, she must pull him down from that position, but after countless times of soberness, she was still handed over this right to God, believing that there is an arrangement in the dark, All the things he did would not become a secret, she believed that the paper could not contain the fire, the snow could not hide the people, and the cycle of cause and effect would definitely be realized in him, depending on how it ended, just like Han Qi.

The mother-in-law also talked about Wang Chu's secretary Wang Xuewu's father, he said that Wang Xuewu's father had a stroke and was admitted to the hospital, but fortunately, he was sent in time, and the operation was successful without leaving sequelae, and now he is exercising in the square every day. He also said that a cadre of the company died at a young age of less than 40, and I don't know why. In short, she knows all the bad and good interesting things in the group, and she doesn't miss everything, her tone is gentle, and she is not annoying. Wang Chu dealt with a few words occasionally, but only occasionally, and all the words were not as many as before. She also said that when people get old, their legs and feet will not stop, and they can fall down as carefully as possible, and said that in the past two years, the family has not known what happened, first her father-in-law's leg was injured, then Wang Chu had a miscarriage, and now she has fallen like this again, speaking of which, she will not continue to speak, and there is no sense of unhappiness in her words about his son's divorce.

The mother-in-law's leg film examination showed that there was a crack in the knee joint and needed surgery as soon as possible, so the operation was arranged in the afternoon of the second day after being admitted to the hospital. Wang Chu took off her mother-in-law's clothes, her mother-in-law, who was afraid of the cold, was still wearing autumn clothes and pants in the summer of June, and she took a lot of effort, after all, her legs couldn't move, and her whole body was very heavy. The old man didn't know how long it had been since he had taken a bath, and dust could pop up on his autumn pants, especially his feet were very dirty, and there was dirt between every toe, she didn't dislike it, she knew that no matter what happened, there was nothing wrong with honoring the old man. So I brought a basin of water and wiped my mother-in-law's body clean, washing out the dirt between each toe.

"I haven't washed my feet in days, it's dirty." Mother-in-law said.

"It's okay, the doctor told you to wash it clean during the operation, otherwise you will get infected after the operation."

Where is this for several days without washing feet, this is the dirt that can only be formed by not washing feet for more than 20 days, the mother-in-law did not say the word "thank you" from beginning to end, maybe she was embarrassed, maybe it was taken for granted, or she didn't want to be too angry, she embodied everything vividly, so that Wang Chu was ashamed.

On the day of the operation, my father-in-law also came, it was sent by Wang Shu, he has always been a runner before and after running, before and after the saddle, he never dared to slack off.

My father-in-law fell and injured his legs and feet more than half a year ago, and he was on crutches, limping, and his blood pressure was high in recent years, and his yellow muscles were particularly thin. After meeting, a smile appeared on his face, and his language was low and gentle, "Chu Chu, this time I trouble you, you see that your mother's leg was broken, you ran up and down, took care of it personally, and delayed your work." ”

"I'm fine." Wang Chu replied, "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the unit, I am idle." ”

"Hao Hao said that you make money by sports cars, which delayed you." The father-in-law's voice was even softer, and this face was really different from the face after arguing with Li Xiangyang or fighting. He suddenly thought of the year when his son caused an eardrum perforation to her more than ten years ago and went home to work after running away from home, his face was deep and cold, his eyes were staring at Wang Chu, his mouth was angry, and he left without even saying a word.

Wang Chu didn't want to answer, just turned his head sideways, took out the fruit from the bedside table and handed it to his father-in-law and Wang Shu, picked up the orange from the bedside table, peeled off the skin and handed it to his mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law pushed into the operating room for nearly an hour, basically, Wang Chu did not say a word to his father-in-law, the operation was very successful, the doctor said that the mother-in-law had put a steel plate on her legs, and her ankles were a little misaligned, and she was recovered, and she could be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate after a week.

The father-in-law left more than an hour after his mother-in-law's operation, and said "thank you" before leaving, but Wang Chuhui did not respond.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, it was almost seven o'clock, I remember that the weather was very hot that day, Wang Chu took the kettle to fetch water, and walked to the door and overheard the words of his mother-in-law, "You guys are almost there, that's okay, I'm on the third floor, room 502." ”

Wang Chu pretended not to hear, and waited for a long time before entering the room, she collected the garbage in the ward, filled the drinking cup for her mother-in-law, and put all the test sheets on the bed into the cabinet.

"I'm going to take out the trash." After Wang Chu finished telling her mother-in-law, she walked out of the ward door, she threw the garbage in the designated place, and then stood in a suitable position where she could see people entering and leaving the hospital, waited for more than half an hour, and went to the bathroom in the middle, finally, she saw a white SUW parked in the parking space, and she didn't have to look hard to know that it was Li Xiangyang's car.

Sure enough, Li Xiangyang got out of the car first, he was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, he was upright and delicate, he looked handsome from a distance, and he was the kind of man who was enough to make people happy. But Wang Chu's eyes were like ice, and the haze of the past was like dark clouds covering the sky, and her eyes were already overflowing with tears, and her hands began to tremble for some reason.

Then Li Xiangxia also got out of the car, she wore a ponytail, an orange shirt, and black pants, and the two siblings were dressed almost identically. She didn't look like a forty-six-year-old woman at all, but a woman in her early thirties.

Li Xiangyang opened the trunk, the two took out a lot of things from behind, and then walked over the hospital, and without guessing, they could see the two talking and laughing, chattering, every look, every action, every step, Wang Chu felt that his heart was clenched, and tears had flowed. The two of them walked into the inpatient building, which was the most eye-catching position for her to see them clearly, and she could even think that a light on the top of the inpatient department suddenly fell, just hitting him, she didn't want Li Xiangxia to have an accident, and then the accident happened, and she would also play the role of a good daughter-in-law to serve the two old people The moment they died, all the hatred would end.

Wang Chu just thought about it, in fact, where are there so many accidents, in this world, it is possible that people who have done all the bad things will live long and will encounter the best treatment, while the person who has been wronged will use all his strength to earn money, buy a car, buy a house, provide for the children to go to school, or have more accidents and difficulties, she can't imagine it.

It was time for Wang Chu to leave, and the moment she heard the elevator bell, she quickly went downstairs from the other side of the corridor and drove out of the hospital.
