Chapter 985: Hiding Something
Cai Xiufen: "Didn't anyone step forward to separate the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"
"It was useless."
Captain Jiang shook his head and said: "Chunlai's wife has a bad temper. She even scratched the people who tried to stop the quarrel. Later, the comrades from the police station came to the house and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law calmed down."
Sister-in-law Jiang: "Chunxia's sister-in-law doesn't need to think about it. Aunt Xu's attitude towards Chunxia and her sisters, how could she give Chunxia the family's money and watch her leave the house?!"
"Okay, let's not talk about the Xu family. The eldest daughter-in-law, go to the gate of the courtyard to see if the eldest has driven the carriage over. Your mother and others have to catch the train. If they leave too late, they may be late."
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Jiang responded and then left the hall.
Captain Jiang: "Have you packed your things?"
Looking from Jiang Li, Jiang Guoan, Jiang Yiyang, and Jiang Yichen, Captain Jiang's eyes moved to Jiang Guosheng when he saw the four nod, "Keep the children safe on the road."
Yes, Jiang Guosheng's family also set off today, and the child Captain Jiang was talking about was Jiang Guosheng's youngest son, Jiang Yiwen, Captain Jiang's youngest grandson so far.
The child is less than three years old and is a complete baby.
Well, the youngest son of Jiang Sange is also a baby, but the little guy is two or three months older than his cousin Jiang Yiwen.
"Yeah."
Jiang Guosheng nodded.
"When you go back, you two brothers must study hard and try to get into a good university."
Captain Jiang said this to Jiang Guosheng's eldest son Jiang Yikai and second son Jiang Yihao. He said with a serious look: "Parents are busy with work, so you should be more sensible and don't just think about playing all day long."
The Jiang Yikai brothers responded at the same time: "I know."
Hearing this, Captain Jiang showed satisfaction, and then moved his eyes to Mingrui and the other two: "You too, you should study hard, not play around, and listen to your parents and grandma."
Mingrui nodded heavily.
"Dad, Yangyang's dad is driving a carriage here."
Sister-in-law Jiang's voice came from the door of the main hall. Hearing this, Captain Jiang said: "Let's go."
After a while, the main hall became empty.
"Second sister-in-law, you can sit on it with Wenwen in your arms."
The carriage was covered with a thick layer of straw, and on top of this layer of straw, Jiang San's sister-in-law laid a quilt. Seeing my mother and Ruirui sitting on the carriage, Jiang Li asked Jiang Er's sister-in-law to sit on it with her nephew in her arms. As a result, Jiang Er's sister-in-law shook her head: "Wenwen will sit in our mother's arms. I won't go up."
"Dad, take care of yourself!"
Jiang Guosheng said goodbye to Captain Jiang.
Nodding slightly, Captain Jiang waved his hand: "Let's go quickly, your uncle Cui and others are waiting in the town!"
Jiang Guosheng didn't say anything more, but nodded to his two brothers, Jiang Sange and Jiang Sige, as a farewell.
"Dad, we'll leave now. If you have anything, just call my family directly."
Jiang Li said while waving to Captain Jiang.
Captain Jiang said "hmm".
"Sister-in-law, Third Brother..."
Jiang Li's eyes moved to Sister-in-law Jiang, Third Brother Jiang and others, saying goodbye one by one. Seeing her nephews waving at her, she smiled and said, "If you miss your aunt, write to her. Goodbye!"
Almost half of the family members had left in a flash. Looking at the carriage and the backs of the departing relatives, Jiang Yiheng's eyes were firm, and he said word by word, "I must be admitted to a university in the north city in the college entrance examination this year!"
"I will also be admitted to a university in the north city later."
This was the voice of Third Brother Jiang's eldest son Jiang Yifei.
"Then you have to work harder!" Third Brother Jiang looked at his son. He naturally hoped that his sons would be able to be admitted to a good university in the north city like his nephews in the future.
Jiang Yifei looked serious: "I will!"
...
In the town.
After meeting with the Cui family, there was a bus to the county town without waiting for long, so the group got on the bus. Jiang Li waved to Brother Jiang through the window glass, and only retracted her gaze when she could no longer see Brother Jiang's figure.
The road was slippery on a snowy day, so the bus was running slower than usual.
Carefully along the way, they finally arrived at the county town. Jiang Li and his group did not stop for a moment and took the bus to the provincial capital...
Train station.
"Li Bao, we can just buy seat tickets."
Walking into the ticket hall, without waiting for Jiang Li to say anything, Captain Cui took out the letter of introduction and money and prepared to go to the ticket office.
Hearing this, Jiang Li smiled and said, "My wife has booked tickets for all of us."
Last evening, Luo Yanqing counted the number of people who were going to leave today, and went to the brigade headquarters to call Director Song. Through Director Song, he contacted an acquaintance here to book soft sleeper tickets to Beicheng, Hucheng, and G City.
Needless to say, the soft sleeper ticket to G City was booked for Jiang Erge's family.
Now Luo Yanqing just needs to find that acquaintance to pick up the ticket.
About seven or eight minutes later, Luo Yanqing appeared in front of Jiang Li: "I got the tickets."
As he said that, he handed Jiang Guosheng four soft sleeper tickets to G City: "Second brother."
After taking the tickets, Jiang Guosheng took a look and without saying anything, he stuffed the money for the four soft sleeper tickets into Luo Yanqing's coat pocket.
"No need."
Luo Yanqing took out the money and wanted to return it to Second Brother Jiang, but unexpectedly, Second Brother Jiang glared at him: "Keep it."
Seeing this, Luo Yanqing looked at Jiang Li: "Little Li..."
"Pretend."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded.
In fact, given Jiang Guosheng's status, soft sleepers may not be easy to buy, but hard sleepers are definitely available. Last evening, after hearing Luo Yanqing say that he was going to the brigade headquarters to call an acquaintance to book tickets, Jiang Guosheng casually mentioned that he would book four G seats for him. Luo Yanqing agreed to the hard sleep in the city.
"Brother, you and Yangyang Chenchen must take good care of your mother on the road."
The train bound for Shanghai was about to check in, and Jiang Li couldn't help but tell Jiang Guoan, Jiang Yiyang, and Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Guoan: "Don't worry."
"Mom, let's go check the tickets."
Jiang Li turned her eyes back to my mother. As she spoke, she waved to her, Brother Jiang, Jiang Guoan and others: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, little brother... Goodbye!"
Zhou Heng and Zhang Lei were holding twins in one hand and carrying luggage in the other. Luo Yanqing was carrying two travel bags in his left hand and followed closely behind Zhou Heng, protecting Jiang Li and Mingrui with his right hand.
In order to prevent Mingrui from being crowded out by the crowd, Jiang Li held the young boy firmly on her chest and moved step by step with the flow of people.
As for Captain Cui, his son Cui Yaping, and his daughter Cui Xiaokui, they were undoubtedly following Luo Yanqing and the others.
Because Cui Xiaokui's children are still young, the boy who is nearly five years old is held by his uncle Cui Yaping, and the sister who is less than three and a half years old is held by Cui Xiaokui himself.
Captain Cui walked behind his children carrying a bulging snakeskin bag and a large cloth bag.
"Uncle Cui, just follow closely and wait until you get on the train!"
Worried that Captain Cui and the others would get separated, Jiang Li did not forget to turn around and tell Captain Cui when he walked forward with the flow of people.
"Uncle, follow closely!"
Captain Cui responded at the top of his voice.
There were really a lot of passengers going north and south at the train station. After passing the ticket gate, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, because at first glance there were not many people in the carriage on the other side of the soft sleeper ticket.
"Mom, will we see dad soon?"
When Cui Xiaokui heard the milky voice of her daughter in her arms, she looked dazed for a while, then slowly came back to her senses and said softly, "Yeah."
"Why doesn't Dad come home?"
The little girl's name is Shen Yubing. This name was given to her daughter by Shen Yunxiu. It comes from the last two characters in "A summer insect cannot speak of ice"; and the little girl's brother's name is Shen Yuhai, which is undoubtedly the "well frog cannot speak of sea". The word "sea of language".
The name is nice, meaningful and connotative. It can be seen that Shen Yunxiu was really thoughtful when naming his children. He should also like these children. But the human heart is the most difficult thing to understand in the world. It is estimated that no one in the Cui family has thought of it. , Shen Yunxiu, a man of excellent character in the eyes of the whole village, would do such a bad thing as abandoning his wife and children after receiving the college entrance examination admission notice.
"...Mom doesn't know."
Cui Xiaokui shook her head. She also wanted to know why Shen Yunxiu left secretly, left her and her children alone, and never returned to their home?
"Mom, don't be sad. Xiaoyu and brother love you. We love mom the most!"
Seeing tears welling up from the corners of her mother's eyes, the little girl used her little hands to help her mother wipe them.
"Well, mom knows, and mom loves you too!"
Cui Xiaokui hugged her daughter tightly and whispered.
She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to go to Shanghai this time, but she wanted to ask Shen Yunxiu if he really didn't have any feelings for her and the two children in his heart?
Otherwise, how could she be so cruel and make her a joke among the villagers, while causing their children to be wronged.
…
Shanghai city.
An area for the families of employees of a well-known university.
"When will you move here?"
"Just a day or two."
"Then let's move here tomorrow, so that we can be company... You don't know, since I came back, as soon as I walked into my home, I couldn't help but think of my old Shen, what did you say... what did you say about him? Didn’t you persist?”
"It's all over, everything is over. Lao Lu, you have to be more open-minded. Besides, hasn't that boy Yun Xiu come back from the countryside? And he happened to be admitted to our university. With him by your side in the future, Your life won’t be any more difficult.”
"Having said that, that kid Yun Xiu has changed. I feel that he is very different from before. When I talk to him, he is always absent-minded. Especially when I ask him about the years he joined the team in the northwest, Yun Xiu either kept silent or stood up and said he had something to do, Lao Li... Do you think he was hiding something from me? "
This person is none other than Shen Yunxiu's mother, whose surname is Lu and whose given name is Xiao.
The person who was talking to her was an old colleague who was also a current colleague. Their surname was Li and her given name was Qinfang, Mrs. Li. Both of them were university professors.
"Can't you ask?"
Mrs. Li asked Mother Shen.
"Um."
Mother Shen nodded.
She is now sitting with Mrs. Li in the house allocated to Mrs. Li by the school. However, the two families are in the same building, and the Shen family lives opposite Mrs. Li's house, with only a corridor between them.
The housing areas are almost the same, with three bedrooms and one living room.
Today, Mrs. Li and her great-grandson came here mainly to do the last cleaning before moving in. No, as soon as she saw an acquaintance, Mother Shen couldn't help but come over to chat with Mrs. Li.
"As your child gets older, he will inevitably have a lot of things on his mind. You should be more considerate. Maybe he will tell you about it in a while!"
Mrs. Li comforted Mother Shen: "Besides, life in the countryside is not ordinary hardship. The child will probably suffer a lot there. You have to let him take it easy, right?!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Li suddenly thought of something. She asked Mother Shen: "You just said that your Yunxiu jumped in the queue in the northwest. It seems that he, me and my old Luo are quite destined."
Hearing this, Mother Shen didn't think much about it. She said, "Your family, Xiao En, is very well-behaved, but Xiaoxue's child has a harder life!"
"For us women, giving birth is like going through the gate of hell. My Xiaoxue... My Xiaoxue didn't make it through. It's true that her life is not good."
Thinking of her granddaughter, Mrs. Li's eyebrows were involuntarily filled with a look of pain.
Mother Shen asked casually: "Where is Xiao En's father?"
Mrs. Li: "It's no accident."
Mother Shen: "Xiao En will take your surname, will your grandson-in-law's family be willing?"
"He is an orphan, and he offered to let Xiao En take my Xiaoxue surname."
Old Mrs. Li didn't know that if she made up a lie like this, it would cause a small disturbance in the future.
"Old Li, do you think my Yunxiu is stubborn? Something happened to my family before, and that girl Qiuqin proposed to break up with Yunxiu. Now that Yunxiu is back, she has approached my Yunxiu again. It seems that she wants to reunite with my Yunxiu. Being together is something I despise.
Moreover, she later went to a rural area in the south to join the queue. Although she also passed the college entrance examination and came back, she brought a five-year-old daughter with her...
From this, it is not difficult to see that she must have married someone at the place where she jumped in line, but I don't know why she only took her daughter with her and her man did not follow her to Shanghai. "
Old Mrs. Li asked: "Are you talking about the little girl of Lao Qiu's family?"
Mother Shen nodded: "Who else could it be if it wasn't her."
"Then you don't like that she is married and has a daughter and wants to get back together with Yun Xiu?"
Mrs. Li told her guess, and Mother Shen shook her head: "That's not the reason, I simply don't like that girl's behavior. Besides, Yun Xiu is obviously hiding something from me, and I highly doubt that he is jumping in line. Is it possible to have a successful family?"
"..."
Mrs. Li was stunned for a long time, then she asked: "What does your Yun Xiu think of that girl Qiu Qin now?"
"I can't quite tell."
After saying that, Mother Shen sighed: "They are moving around, but it doesn't look like they are dating."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li was silent for a moment, looked at Mother Shen and said, "Then if your guess is true, what will you do?"
Mother Shen remained silent for a long time, and Mrs. Li raised an eyebrow: "Don't you dislike having a rural daughter-in-law?"
Mother Shen was startled for a moment, then shook her head. She smiled bitterly and said, "After that experience, what do I dislike? I was just thinking that with my Yunxiu's previous body, if there was no one to help her in the countryside,
It’s probably very difficult for him to survive until he returns to Shanghai safely now, and... And on the day Yun Xiu came back, I saw that he was in good spirits and well-dressed..."
Speaking of this, Mother Shen stood up suddenly: "No, I have to ask clearly now. I will never allow Shen Yunxiu to do anything ungrateful!"
Seeing that Shen's mother was obviously a little excited, Mrs. Li stood up and advised, "If you have anything to say, talk to your child properly. Don't be anxious, lest you hurt the relationship between mother and child."
"My old Shen has been upright and upright all his life, and I have never done anything unconscionable. Shen Yunxiu is our child. If he...
If he really did something against his conscience and morality, even if I don't recognize him as my son, I won't let him stain my and Lao Shen's reputation! "
Mother Shen's face was ugly. As she spoke, she waved her hand towards Mrs. Li: "I'm going back. Let's talk some other time."
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Shen Yunxiu and Qiu Qin sitting on the sofa in the living room talking. On the side, Qiu Qin's daughter Wenwen was eating a piece of pastry. Shen's mother had no expression on her face and said to Qiu Qin: "Xiao Qin, take it." Take the child back to your house first, Auntie has something to ask Yun Xiu."
Qiu Qin looked slightly embarrassed when she heard this. She responded, picked up her daughter, lowered her head and left quickly.
"You come with me to the study."
Mother Shen walked in front, and behind her, Shen Yunxiu followed closely. As soon as mother and son entered the study, Mother Shen's face turned cold: "Tell me, did you become an actor at the place where you jumped in line?"
Shen Yunxiu was immediately stunned, but after a short while, he shook his head: "No."
"Do you think your mother's eyes are just for decoration?"
Mother Shen couldn't tell anything from the change in Shen Yunxiu's expression. She looked solemnly: "Let me ask you again, did you get married where you jumped in line? If you don't understand, I can ask another way, are you? Didn’t you marry a local girl?”
The corners of his mouth tightened, and Shen Yunxiu remained silent.
"Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
Shen's mother slapped her hand on the desk and stared at Shen Yunxiu: "No wonder I asked you about the years when you joined the queue in the northwest. You either kept silent or tried to prevaricate me by saying that you had something to do. Shen Yunxiu, I want to listen to the truth now!"
"Yes, I am married, but she and I don't have a marriage certificate..."
Before Shen Yunxiu could finish speaking, Shen's mother came over and slapped him in the face: "I didn't get a marriage certificate, so you don't recognize that marriage, right?"
Shen Yunxiu's eyes turned red: "I don't admit it, am I wrong?"
This sentence earned another heavy slap from Mother Shen!
"Since you were a child, is this how your father and I taught you? To make you corrupt your morals and play with girls' feelings?"
Shen's mother was so angry that her son was so angry that she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shen Yunxiu helped Shen's mother in time, but she was pushed away by Shen's mother. She held on to the desk and stood firm. The corners of his eyes were moist, and he choked out: "Your father has been honest and upright all his life, and your mother and I have also been upright and upright. Why do you grow up like this?"
"Mom, I..."
Shen Yunxiu knew that he had made his mother very angry. His eyes were full of guilt. He opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything else.
"Did you tell your wife when you came back? Did you tell your wife's family?"
"..."
"No, right? You didn't tell your wife, let alone your wife's family, that you actually sneaked back by yourself... right?"
"..."
Shen Yunxiu remained silent again and again.
There were tears falling from the corners of Shen's mother's eyes, and she accused bitterly: "How could you do this? On the day you came back, I saw that you were in good spirits, and the clothes you were wearing were 80% new.
It can be seen that you are not having a hard time where you cut in line, so I would like to ask, who brought this to you? Who makes your life easier?
You know, given your physical fitness, even if you can take the college entrance examination and return to the city, will you be as energetic as you are now? "
Shen Yunxiu: "But I'm back, and I have no relationship with that woman. You can't expect me to be responsible for her for the rest of my life just because I had such a marriage with him, right?"
Mother Shen: "No feelings? Why would you marry someone else's girl if you don't have feelings?"
Shen Yunxiu: "She likes me, she wants to marry me."
"Since you don't like it, then don't agree. But if you agree, it means you have some plans for this girl. Now that you have been admitted to university and returned to Shanghai,
You use your dislike and your so-called lack of feelings for this girl to deny your marriage. Shen Yunxiu, don't you think this is too shameless? "
Mother Shen felt that the two slaps she had given before were too gentle. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her expression returned to calmness, and she asked, "Do you have a child?"
Shen Yunxiu nodded.
Mother Shen: "How old is the child?"
"My son is five years old, my daughter is three..."
Before Shen Yunxiu could finish his sentence, he saw his mother walking towards him again. The next moment, he was undoubtedly slapped hard again on the face.
"Chen Shimei! You are the contemporary Chen Shimei!"
Mother Shen shook her head and backed away step by step. She held on to the edge of the table: "Do you want to get back together with Qiu Qin? Do you want to help her raise her daughter?"
Shen Yunxiu remained silent.
"Did Qiu Qin tell you how she came back? And did she ask you whether you had a family in the countryside?"
Mother Shen sneered and said, "She must have sneaked back, but you didn't tell her that you had a family in the countryside and even had two children, right?"
"I'm back, Mom, what do you want me to do?"
Shen Yunxiu suddenly scratched his own hair, then squatted on the ground, holding his head and saying with a pained face: "It was wrong of me to leave secretly, but I...but I miss you and my dad, and I want our own life back. "Family, I feel that Cui Xiaokui and I are not from the same world. She is just a village girl. If I were to live with her for the rest of my life, I don't know if I will go crazy in the future..."
Mother Shen: "Country girl? You dislike the fact that the girl you married is a village girl. So what would you do if there was no college entrance examination and you had to stay in the countryside all your life?"
"I……"
Shen Yunxiu was left speechless by Shen's mother's question.
"you are selfish!"
Shen's mother didn't save any face for her son: "You only think about your own interests and don't consider other people's feelings. Shen Yunxiu, you disappoint me so much! When your father closes his eyes, he is still thinking about you as his son. If he knows that he A child who has been raised by one hand is so virtuous, do you think his eyes can still be closed?"
"Did I really do something wrong?"
Shen Yunxiu raised his head, his eyes were red, and he looked at Shen's mother: "Mom..."
"Pack your things. I will accompany you now to the place where you cut the queue, apologize to your parents-in-law, and pick up your wife and children."
With that said, Mother Shen stepped out of the study.
"Mom... you are not in good health. How about... how about I write a letter back first..."
Shen Yunxiu followed Mother Shen and said, "If I go back to that home like this, they won't let me go."
"Don't worry, they won't kill you!"
Mother Shen walked towards the master bedroom, planning to tidy up and leave.
Unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door.
"Aunt Li."
Old Mrs. Li was standing outside the door. When she saw it was her, Shen Yunxiu hurriedly wiped his face and invited Old Mrs. Li in.
"you……"
Looking at Shen Yunxiu, Mrs. Li's eyes were extremely complicated at this moment. Before knocking on Shen's door, she received a phone call. It was through this phone call that she learned something.
Then catch the bugs. . .
