Chapter Thirty-Eight: Does She Hate Me?

Pickled cucumbers, sour and hot cabbage, garlic eggplant, and peanuts in sauce, the mother-in-law neatly laid the side dishes on the table, and the wolfberry white rice porridge and bamboo drawer xiaolongbao were all hot, exuding a steaming white air in the room, warm and inviting, just like every morning before.

The mother-in-law handed a pair of bamboo chopsticks to Feng Yin's hand and said lovingly: "Come, eat quickly, you should be hungry." ”

A drawer of xiaolongbao was neatly placed there, and even the four dishes had not been touched, Feng Yin raised his eyes to look at his mother-in-law's eager face, and reached out to take the bamboo chopsticks.

Seeing Feng Yin take the bamboo chopsticks, her mother-in-law immediately smiled, but the moment she smiled, her eyes were a little red. She reached out and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes, and got up to leave.

"You eat first, I'll go and light the fire again, so that the house is warm and warm, the winter of this sand house can't be separated from the fire." ”

Listening to her mother-in-law's nagging, Feng Yin glanced up at her clumsy back, and suddenly her eyes were wet.

"You can eat too. ”

The mother-in-law's footsteps stopped, and she looked back at the wind in some surprise.

Feng Yin didn't look at her, only reached out and put a bowl of white rice porridge on the place where she usually sits, and said, "I'm not cold, let's finish eating first and then go to light the fire." ”

The mother-in-law's cloudy eyes became wet again, and she slowly turned around.

"Let's eat together. ”

The soft voice of the wind sounded again, holding a pair of bamboo chopsticks and stubbornly waiting for the mother-in-law to sit down.

Is it really old, the mother-in-law secretly laughed at herself, otherwise why would she think that the person sitting at the table looked like Wenyue before?

The heart that had been sleeping in the chest for a long time trembled slightly, and a tear flowed out.

The mother-in-law looked at the pair of bamboo chopsticks for a long time before coming back to her senses, and the hands never retracted.

Raising her sleeves and wiping the corners of her eyes, her mother-in-law hurriedly took the bamboo chopsticks and sat down.

"Okay, okay, then eat first, then eat first. ”

Feng Yin scooped up a spoonful of white rice porridge and put it in his mouth, and a sweet taste began to spread from the tip of his tongue.

Turning his face slightly, he saw that his mother-in-law had finally picked up a peanut, and Feng Yin's eyes were sour somehow, and it seemed that a hot breath was flowing in his chest, and his body trembled for a while.

The mother-in-law picks up a xiaolongbao and puts it in Fluttershy, who looks sideways at it, picks it up and takes a bite, it seems to taste better than ever.

Sneaking a glance at the side face of her mother-in-law who was bowing her head and drinking porridge, Feng Yin thought, maybe she was too hungry today.

After eating, the mother-in-law squatted beside the stove and began to clean up the fire, but Feng Yin took a copy of the Lotus Sutra and knelt down in front of the statue of Guanyin. The wind chanted with his hands folded and saluted sincerely, and the Bodhisattva still smiled compassionately, looking down on all beings.

When turning the scriptures, the string of Buddhist beads in the left hand shook slightly, exuding bursts of refreshing fragrance, and the wind chanted in the lingering fragrance of the proverbs, closed his eyes, and fell into deep meditation.

Feng Yin tried her best to unload the resentment and hatred that lingered in her heart, but the images in her mother-in-law's memory flashed in her mind. The proud and smiling appearance of his mother when he was a girl, the high-spirited posture of the general when he was young, and the loving smiling face of his grandfather, whom he had never met, when he looked at his mother, these images are intertwined, entangled, and repeated in his mind, lingering.

When this scene flashed, Feng Yin suddenly realized that all these beauties were gone.

The mother no longer has the innocence and beauty of the past, and the general is not as energetic as before. Although they are still alive and living in front of themselves, they look so glamorous, but the scars in their hearts will not heal in this life.

Of the two of them, who is happier than himself?

And my grandfather, the person who has always been by his wife and children's side, is long gone.

Who is to blame for all this?

It's him, it's he who killed his grandfather, it's he who robbed his mother, it's he who erases their happiness, it's he who instills hatred in everyone's hearts that can't be washed away for a lifetime.

It's him, the father who loves him the most in memory, but it's him!

The image of him once being a cruel owl flashed in his mind, and the image of him piercing his grandfather's chest with a halberd with his own hand flashed, so cruel, so bloody, so unforgivable.

It turns out that it's all because of him, he is the root of everything.

All of Feng Yin's resentment collapsed in an instant, and his mental strength was suddenly exhausted at this moment.

After all, they didn't kill themselves, they have lived like a big lady for four years, although they had boundless resentment when they learned that the meridians were sealed, but tracing back to the source, the culprit was not them. Now that I know that I still have a chance to heal and live like a normal person, do I still have reason to resent it now?

Can I still go and question my mother in an honest manner? Why did she kill her own father, why did she kill her enemy? Do you still have that qualification?

But even if you question and vent, what can you get? Can everything be different? Can you be happy? Do you really have the courage to tear apart all the whitewashed ...... Do you want to get out of here?

This is the only place that can be called "home" in my memory, the place I have been attached to for four years, here is my uncle, Wen Shuo, mother, and mother-in-law, I can't bear it, I really can't give it up.

Feng Yin suddenly fell to the ground, looked at the Bodhisattva with wide eyes, and muttered, "Bodhisattva, what should I do, what should I do?"

The bodhisattva did not respond, never will, and has to solve everything by himself.

There was a sound of "ding ding dong" behind him, and it was the sound of the mother-in-law finally lighting the fire and sealing the iron lid on the furnace mouth.

Feng Yin turned her head to look at her mother-in-law, and the question buried deep in her heart suddenly welled up in her mind, the question she never dared to ask.

"Mother-in-law. ”

The mother-in-law looked up and followed the sound to her.

"Mother, do you hate me?"

The mother-in-law was stunned, and the iron hook in her hand smashed to the ground with a bang.

"You ......" her face quickly filled with shock, and her lips trembled all the time, "Wind Groan, you ......"

"Tell me......" Feng Yin's eyes were stubborn, and he refused to back down, "She, do you hate me?"

For the first time, her mother-in-law looked so seriously at Feng Yin's blood-colored eyes, those bloody eyes that terrified her in her dreams. When she finally saw the blood-colored pupils, she burst into tears and closed her eyes in pain.

After a while, the mother-in-law opened her eyes and stood up tremblingly, and walked to Fengyin's side step by step.

She slowly leaned over and squatted beside Feng Yin, her eyes full of pity to look at Feng Yin, and gently touched Feng Yin's forehead.

"I always thought you were too young to understand this. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head again and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I sometimes comfort myself, thinking that you are living a life of fine clothes and food, and you have the love of the second master, maybe you don't care about these at all." ”

Feng Yin didn't speak, her eyes became even redder, and she looked at her mother-in-law without blinking, waiting for her answer.

The mother-in-law stroked the long hair hanging down from the side of Feng Yin's face again, and looked at Feng Yin's face with love in her eyes: "But after all, it's been four years, and you've grown up." ”

"You're afraid she hates you, don't you?"

Feng Yin pursed her lips tightly, her eyes full of tears, and she didn't dare to answer.

"Do you think she hates you?" the mother-in-law shook her head lightly and held Feng Yin's hand, "Pregnant for October, you are the meat that fell from her body, how can she be willing to hate you." ”

The tears finally fell, and Feng Yin shook her head and closed her eyes: "She, she has never looked at me well." ”

"You look at me," the mother-in-law said as she pulled Feng Yin's shoulders and stared at Feng Yin's eyes tightly, "You are not at fault, she knows it, so she will not hate you." ”

"Then why did she do this to me, why did she lock me here, why did she treat me like a monster!"

The mother-in-law's hand hung down, and she closed her eyes as if remembering some great pain.

"She is bitter in her heart, she has resentment, she has monstrous hatred, but no one can vent it, so she can only vent it to your body and your eyes. ”

The mother-in-law opened her eyes and looked at Feng Yin, her eyes were full of guilt, "I know that I have wronged you, but I can't blame her, she has been suffering for too long, I can't let her suffer anymore!"

Feng Yin knew what her suffering was, so she couldn't ask.

The mother-in-law grabbed Feng Yin's hand and looked at her with wide eyes, her expression a little agitated.

"No matter what grievances you have, what hatred you have, what grievances you have, you can vent it on me, you cry, you make trouble, you beat me, you scold me, it's all right...... I'm all suffering, I'll make amends for you for Miss, but don't resent Miss, let alone bother her, she's about to give birth, and you can't be stimulated a little! Mother-in-law begs you, okay, okay...... Huh?"

"When will she be able to get rid of the resentment in her heart, and when will she be able to let me go?" Feng Yin's tears flowed uncontrollably, and there was an almost longing light in her eyes, "In this life, can her resentment be gone?"

"Yes," the mother-in-law nodded again and again, with a surprised smile on her face, and said while wiping the tears on her face, "You wait, wait, when this child is born, she will be able to eliminate the guilt of her step-minister, she will not complain anymore, she really won't complain anymore." ”

The wind lowered his eyes and did not say a word.

The mother-in-law looked into Feng Yin's eyes seriously and asked, "You wait, okay, just wait, okay?"

Feng Yin didn't speak, her lips trembling but she left tears.

How she longs to live like a normal person, get out of here, and live well. It's best to have Uncle and Wen Shuo by your side and live freely, how beautiful it would be to have such a day.

After a while, Feng Yin closed his eyes, bit his lower lip and nodded.

The mother-in-law's tense spirit finally relaxed, and she trembled and hugged Feng Yin into her arms.

"Mother-in-law assures you that everything will be fine. ”

Feng Yin opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
