Chapters 73-74

This is a teahouse with an elegant environment. The decoration style is simple and elegant, and it is simple and elegant. When you walk in, you feel that the fresh and elegant tea fragrance fills the entire teahouse, which is refreshing and pleasant. It is easy to immerse yourself in your own world, taste the fragrant tea in your hand, and then take a book you like to read it slowly. This comfortable enjoyment like a paradise makes people savor it for a long time, but today, all of these feelings are not destined to be with me.

My cousin sitting opposite me was a little cramped, and he secretly looked at my face while playing with the exquisite tea cup in his hand.

elder brother.My cousin couldn't help but speak first. We have also drunk a pot of tea. What's wrong with asking me for today?I'll have to go to work later.

I shook the teacup in my hand, watched the brown tea rippling in the white glaze porcelain cup, and then raised my head and drank it all.

Shunzi, how are you treating you?I asked calmly expected.

Yes... no, very good.My cousin was a little confused.

Where is it better?I'll ask.

Anywhere...it's good.

To give a specific explanation.

My cousin was obviously confused by my nonsensical questioning, but he still listed it all in detail.

You lend me money, help me find a job, help me rent a house, and... and a lot of Ah.

what else?

Uh...and...

I also sent my beautiful wife to your bed.I said calmly.

With a bang, the teacup in my cousin's hand fell on the table. Fortunately, he quickly caught it and did not fall to the ground and fell into pieces.

Brother, what you said, I... my cousin became at a loss.

Tell me honestly, is there anything between you and your sister-in-law that I don’t know.

No...no Ah.

Think about it and say it!My tone suddenly became stern.

This... he lowered his head, his eyes dripped, and his heart was obviously slashing. I... I just played tricks with my sister-in-law several times, and I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would be angry. But I promise that was all to mobilize my sister-in-law's condition, just like that KTV, you believe me.

I stared straight into his eyes. Even though he was so smooth, under my preconceived gaze, the panic he was hiding deep in his eyes was still captured by me.

How did I tell you at that time?Don’t involve any emotions outside of physical relationships, have you done it?

I really don't have Ah, brother, I have always done what you told me. I swear I will never have any miserable feelings in this matter.As he said that, he was preparing to swear.

I didn't expect him to be so shameless and could even sit lying so righteously. I wanted to tell him that I have evidence but I can't because I'm afraid that it will hurt my wife. I always think that my wife's fall was caused by these trash people.

I shook my head, I was wrong, actually I was wrong from the beginning, but I think I still have a chance to make up for this mistake now.

My cousin was a little nervous because of my own words and was nervously waiting for my next words.

Shunzi, go back.

Oh, then I'll leave first.My cousin said with relief.

No.I shook my head, I mean, go back to your hometown and don’t stay in Shanghai.

Ah?My cousin widened his eyes, No, you asked me to stay at the beginning, but now you want to drive me away again, why?

Why?I sneered, I don’t feel at ease if you stay here, do you understand what I mean?You know what you have done yourself.

My cousin's eyes were full of dissatisfaction. I admit that I had relied on your help at the beginning, but now I have the ability to gain a foothold in Shanghai by myself. I will repay what I owe you sooner or later. Why should you rush me back?

This was the first time my cousin was so tough in front of me, but I couldn't get any of it. I put my hands on the tea table and leaned forward.

Why?Just because you are here, it will endanger my life. Don’t forget that even my parents have no right to interfere with and affect my life. Do you think you can?

I... I swear not to contact my sister-in-law anymore.

no!I replied firmly, "I will quit your job and I will help you refund the house. I will not pay back the money I owe me. I will give you another 10,000 yuan and we will clear it."

You...you want to force me to death?

No!You are going to force me to death!

The noise of my slapping the table alarmed the guests around us. Everyone looked at us with suspicious eyes, not understanding why two people with such heavy anger would be caught in such a fresh and elegant place. For a moment, the atmosphere fell into a strange tranquility.

Is it really nothing to discuss?My cousin asked in a low voice.

No.My head was shaking was very determined.

Well, I admit that I have had a strange feeling for my sister-in-law over the past period of time. I also fantasize about continuing to maintain such a relationship with a beauties like my sister-in-law, but have you ever thought about a problem?Can you guard against me, can you guard against others?

What do you mean?

My cousin sneered, "If I tell you, my sister-in-law is not clear about other men, do you believe me?"

After hearing his words, I instantly thought of the topic of what the two of them mentioned before.

Seeing that I didn't speak, my cousin continued, I discovered it by chance. I can only understand that it was either you were worried about my ability and wanted to take advantage of my spare time to add more insurance, or even my sister-in-law really wanted a child and felt that it was not safe for me to suppress my treasure, so she added a task to myself. I don't know if I guessed it right, hehe.

I didn't and couldn't tell my cousin that we had tried before him, and he didn't need to know about Zhou Ming.

Facing my cousin's provocative inquiry, I was silent for a few seconds. Things were not as complicated as you thought, and it was not what you should care about. What you have to do now is to pack up and go home, or go to another city to find a way out. In short, don't stay.

After saying that, I stood up, took out my cell phone and transferred 10,000 yuan to his WeChat account, and then said, "I will go and say the work of the 4S store. The house will be extended for you for another week. In short, it will disappear soon."

After saying that, I turned around and left without looking back.

I used coercion and temptation to get rid of my wife's borrowed seed twice in succession. I won't talk about the loss of money. Every time I get scars and exhausted, I really want to slap myself a few times when I think of this. But compared to the pain I bear, I am more worried about my wife's changes. What Wei Lanlan said again came to my mind. Can women be fascinated by this after they taste the wonderful taste of sex, and they are crazy about it, and even betray the promise of marriage, and they must continue to taste the stimulation of taboos?

Another thought flashed through me, was it because my cousin said, that my wife was working overtime to get pregnant as soon as possible without hiding it?

But I quickly gave up this idea. My wife is good at cheating but is not stupid. The borrowing behavior that is not recognized by both parties will only be regarded as betrayal. Of course, she should understand this principle.

You...have you talked to him today?

After dinner, my wife and I sat on the sofa watching TV. The two of us were speechless for a long time. It was not that the TV program was so attractive. To be honest, I didn’t know what was being put on TV. My attention was always pulled back and forth by my emotions until my wife took the initiative to speak out.

Well, yes.

What are you talking about?

I looked at her, as if she was saying that she asked knowingly, and my wife looked a little dodged in the face of me.

I asked him to leave Shanghai, immediately, you should know how inconvenient it would be for him to stay here.

I deliberately used such a relatively relaxed vocabulary, but I didn't want to break this matter. After hearing this, my wife felt a little more relaxed.

Well, it's good that this is the case. In fact, others are not bad, but sometimes they are a little childish.

childish?I was a little angry after hearing my wife's understatement comments. Do you think his behavior is just childish?

My wife was frightened by my sudden emotion and shrank her neck and didn't dare to continue talking.

I continued, actually, we had a very unpleasant communication today. I almost drove him back. He almost turned against me and even said something angry about you.

I could clearly feel the blood on my wife's face suddenly faded away, and her little face turned pale. I said...what did I say to me?

It's nothing, I'm just angry when I say it, and I won't believe it.I said on purpose.

What did you mean by me?The wife asked relentlessly, obviously this question would make her unable to sleep at night.

I paused, thinking that since I said this, I would go with the flow, but I had to organize how to speak the language.

He said...You have been in contact with other men recently. Do you think I can trust him?

He...why...why is he like this!My wife's face turned red again.

So...is there?I looked her in the eyes.

No...no Ah!Didn't you say you didn't believe him?

For Ah, so do you think someone like him can stay?I asked.

My wife pursed her lips tightly, but her cheeks were bulging. She wanted to see that she was gritting her teeth.

Just as I was about to use thunder to clear all obstacles to my life, a bolt from the blue suddenly hit me.

I was dealing with the work I was working on, and suddenly I received a call from my father. This number almost never calls me, so I suddenly felt unfamiliar with the word "Dad" on the caller ID.

Hello, dad?I asked in confusion.

Hello, Jin Yan.My father was a little cautious in his voice on the other end of the phone.

What's wrong?What's the matter with me?

Alas... my father sighed softly, are you... busy lately?

I'm OK.

I felt a little uncomfortable when my father was polite, and I wondered if there was something difficult to say to me.

That...you might as well come back.The father continued to say carefully.

In my impression, my father is such a timid image. I have looked down on him since I was a child. Now, I can't help but feel disgusted when I hear the tone on his phone.

Can you tell me what the hell is going on?My volume suddenly increased. Do you think I live in the next village?It’s so easy to come back?

Jin Yan.My father did not react to my anger, but became sad. Grandma is almost out of reach. You can come back and see it for the last time when you have time.He sniffed on the phone as he said that.

What?!I stood up and the whole office bets on me. Can you tell me clearly? Why are you still hiding me in circles?!I was almost roaring.

Your grandma's situation has not been very good these days. I don't know... I don't know how long it will last, so you'd better come back.

I picked up the phone and walked out of the office. When did it happen?Why just tell me now?

It's been three or five days, your mother said don't tell you first, so as not to affect your work.

fart!I just felt my blood rushing up, and I still want to hide it from me, what exactly did she want to do?

My father was about to say something, but I heard my mother's voice vaguely remembered on the other end of the phone.

Who are you calling?The doctor asked you to come over again, I was so annoyed.

Anyway, I know, I'll go there now.He responded and whispered to me, "Look back, come back, I'm dead."

After hanging up the phone, I felt very upset. Grandma's status in my heart was self-evident. I could never accept that he left with hatred when he didn't see his beloved grandson at the last moment. So I asked for leave immediately without hesitation. However, when I opened the ticket booking software, I found that as it was approaching evening, all the air tickets and train tickets for that night were sold out, and the earliest flights would have to be tomorrow morning. I calculated that this would take the afternoon to get home as soon as possible. So I drove home, took a few pieces of laundry, and called my wife to tell her that I was going back overnight. I didn't want to wait for a moment. I was afraid that I would face the situation of being separated by heaven and man by an hour.

I sent my father a message that I was back and drove home. It was a journey of nearly 800 kilometers. I didn't have time to borrow a fuel truck with my friend, so I drove a tram that was not suitable for long-distance travel. Along the way, I only went to the service area for half an hour when the power was about to run out. The car was charging and people rested. I just stayed there for nearly 12 hours. When the dawn of the next day was just spreading to the earth, I entered the county town. I immediately checked into the hotel that I had booked in advance on the way, just took a shower, washed up and rushed to the hospital.

When I appeared in front of my father with blood-covered eyes, I was greeted with a pair of red and swollen eyes. My father was not surprised by my appearance. He nodded at me like an old friend and took me into the ward. I saw that there was an oxygen tube inserted into my grandma's nose, and her face was scaryly pale. Her deep eye sockets looked a little older than her cheeks compared to her last time I saw her. I felt distressed but helpless when I looked at me.

My father gently pulled my arm and signaled me to go out with him.

What the hell is wrong?I couldn't wait to ask when I returned to the corridor.

Alas... My father sighed, your grandma has always been very tough before. She was discharged from the hospital just a few days after you saw her last time. She can still cook by herself. I went to see her about once or twice a week, but I suddenly fainted at home last week. The neighbor found that she was 120. After I arrived at the hospital, the doctor told me that her condition was not good, saying that her physical indicators had dropped significantly, and that maybe... she couldn't hold on for long.

My eyes suddenly turned red and my voice trembled, why didn’t you tell me earlier?I can take it to a large Shanghai hospital for treatment when I have this time. What are you thinking?

My father looked at me with some fear. I said the same thing at the time. I said that my son may have a way in Shanghai, at least it is better than waiting for death in this small county town, but... but your mother doesn't agree.

disagree?I widened my eyes and felt incredible. Is this her mother or your mother?Why did she disagree?

In a rage, I didn't realize that the one I resented was my biological mother.

A trace of sadness and helplessness flashed in my father's eyes, just keep smoking. Looking at the hunched figure of this man I have never looked down upon since I was a child, I couldn't bear to continue to blame him. I never smoked, stood beside him, watching him smoke three cigarettes in a quiet voice, and then walked out of the stairwell together.

As soon as she walked into the corridor, she ran into her mother who had just come out of the elevator. She saw her walking towards the ward with a bag and humming a little tune.

ah!Why are you back?!My mother's first reaction when she saw me was quite big.

I asked my son to come back.My father said in a muffled voice.

Are you wrong?!Don’t you know how busy your son is in work and ask him to come back?!The mother was like an angry female beast, posing at her father with her teeth and claws.

If you can, stop making trouble, I came back by myself.I said with dissatisfaction.

My mother glared at my father fiercely, but when she turned to me, her eyes were full of complicated expressions, with dissatisfaction, resentment, and even a hint of fear.

I didn't say anything to me when I came back.Mother muttered.

I looked at her and saw that my mother was wearing a burgundy gold velvet dress today, with a small tweed jacket on the outside. She radiated a temperament younger and more elegant than her actual age. This was very contrary to my impression of mother, but at this moment, I seemed a little disgusted in my eyes, because such a festive dress collided violently with my grandmother's situation.

Do I want you to pick you up or arrange food and accommodation?I also want to ask you, why don’t you tell me about such an important thing?My voice was high.

Isn’t this your grandma okay? We are also afraid of affecting your work.My mother's aura of speaking to me was obviously much weaker than when she was against my father.

Grandma is unconscious and you tell me she is fine?I was angry at the carelessness my mother showed.

OK, okay, don’t yell at me. Whether it’s okay or not, the doctor has to decide whether it’s okay. By the way, son.My mother's words suddenly changed. How is Shunzi doing in Shanghai?

Speaking of her nephew, the spirit in my mother's eyes became brighter. I remembered everything my cousin did to me, and then recalled my mother's attitude towards him, and the anger in my heart couldn't help but become stronger.

Humph, do you think of him so much?Good Ah, he will be back in a few days anyway. Anyway, I am an outsider far away in your heart. Let him stay with you.I said angrily.

What?What do you mean?He is coming back?When will I go back to Ah?

Not going back.

Not going back?You called him to go, and you called him back now. You called him back. Are you playing with someone else?My mother's voice became sharper, and the sound pierced my eardrum and made me even more irritated.

I didn't want to pay attention to her, so I turned around and walked towards the nurse stand, wanting to ask about my grandma's condition, but my mother refused to let go and followed me and insisted that I explain clearly what happened to my cousin. Even when I was talking to the nurse, I was clamoring by my side. I didn't take good care of my cousin, so I could no longer control the anger that I suppressed in my heart.

Have you enough?!What is this place?!When is this now?!What are you talking about your nephew with me?!Grandma is still lying in it. Who do you wear such a festive look?Is there anyone who is your daughter-in-law like this?!

Oh, you little bastard...

My mother's face turned red, and a series of dirty words like shrews cursing came to me. She reached out and grabbed a stack of folders at the nurse standing and threw them at me. I was also angry, but the moral bottom line of being a son still restricted my behavior. While blocking her movements, I retreated. More and more people gathered in the corridor from somewhere, stretching their necks to watch the lively scene.
