Back to the Countryside - Chapter 69
With a “pop”, He Zhen slapped the girl’s face and hit her to the ground, “This little thing can’t be done well, what’s the use of you!”
The girl covered her face and didn’t dare to say anything. She did what she was told, no one would have thought that things would be revealed so quickly.
He Zhen rubbed the beater’s hand and sat down on the stool. He thought that even if he didn’t drive the opponent away this time, he would be able to block them for a while. Now, the same is true!
He covered his dizzy head and his face was very ugly. His illness was getting worse, but he couldn’t find out the cause. The landlord hadn’t stayed with him in these days, which made his temper even more irritable.
Every day, he has to endure the pain caused by drugs to maintain his appearance. Now he is tortured by this disease, and he has to work hard to please an old man. What about those who are sorry for him? But it’s like being soaked in a honeypot, being loved by a good man, enjoying the happiness he couldn’t ask for!
With a wave of his hand, he waved everything on the table to the ground. The flame of hatred burned in his eyes. There was a kind of madness that seemed to destroy everything. He clasped his hands on the girl who was sitting on the ground, “Go, give me Prepare some generous gifts.”
The girl was grabbed by him on her shoulders, a little bit painful, she frowned, “What gift?”
“Naturally it is a nourishing thing. My cousin has been pregnant for some time. I should go and visit, right?” He pushed her aside and stood up straight again.
The girl shuddered while looking at the sudden smile on his face. She didn’t dare to ask more, got up from the ground and went out.
He Zhen smiled, her eyes gleaming. He and the other party may not have seen each other for a long time. For so long, they seem to be living in dreams, but his dreams are nightmares, and He Ling’s dreams are sweet dreams! Since the heavens are unfair, he has to find some fairness on his own, and he can’t let a person be good for too long.
When the girl came back with everything ready, he had changed his clothes, his hair was neatly combed, a gold hairpin was inserted, and there seemed to be some rouge on his face, which made his complexion much better.
Seeing her entering the door, without asking what she had prepared, she got up in front of the bronze mirror and said, “Let’s go.”
It took less than half an hour to travel from Shangzhuang Village to Gushui Village by horse-drawn carriage, during which He Zhen didn’t say a word, and she was a bit horrible quietly, so that the girl who was sitting beside her did not dare to breathe.
When passing by the He’s house, he didn’t even look at it when he lifted the curtain of the car, and that family is now nothing more than a stranger in his eyes, and it’s not worth mentioning.
The horse neighed and stopped in front of Qi Yue’s house. The girl helped He Zhen get out of the car, then turned around to get the things in the car, he straightened out the wrinkled clothes, and looked up at the tightly closed front. The door, his eyes darkened. How many times have he been turned away in embarrassment, like a disgusted bereavement dog.
The girl came forward and knocked on the door. After waiting for a long time, there was a “creak”. The door was opened from the inside. The person who opened the door was He Ling in white. He seemed a little surprised to see him and opened his eyes slightly.
The other party is still so beautiful, and the beauty makes him want to tear his face! He Zhen smiled and took a few steps forward and said, “Cousin, I haven’t seen you for a long time, how have you been?”
He was familiar with his attitude like a relative who came to visit the door, so He Ling frowned. He retracted the hand that was still on the door, and his expression was different from his indifference, “What are you here for?”
“I heard that my cousin is pregnant, I came here specially!” He Zhen looked at his face and said sadly: “Before, my brother was ignorant and broke my cousin’s heart. But my cousin is still blaming me? ”
“He Zhen, why are you acting like this!” Their previous relationship was already in the same situation, and both of them knew well, what was the point of him doing this.
“My cousin really has a grudge against me in my heart…” He Zhen’s expression was much sadder, and her eyes were slightly red. “It’s because I did too much wrong that made my cousin do this, but this time I really am. Sincerely came to visit.”
Speaking of this, he stopped and wiped away the tears that fell. “Now I am married into the landlord’s house. It looks like a beautiful scenery, but in fact, there are so many pains that I can only swallow in my stomach. I see more love and warmth in that place, and the more I see it. Remembering my loved ones, I really want to fix it with my cousin this time, and I hope my cousin can give me a chance.”
He Ling seemed to be moved by the sincerity of what he said, but considering all the previous things, he was silent and did not say a word.
“Cousin, can you forgive me?” He Zhen moved a few steps forward again, trying to pull his hand hanging beside him.
He Ling drew back and avoided him. Seeing that his face was full of tears and a little unbearable, he turned sideways and let the way go, saying, “You come in first, let’s talk about it, it’s not nice to stand here.”
He Zhen nodded hurriedly, asked the girl beside her to hold her things, and led her into the door.
When he entered the hall and sat down, he looked around for a few times and asked, “Is my cousin away?”
“Xiaohu was injured a few days ago. He will go and see the wound again.” He Ling said, picking up the kettle on the table and getting up again, “I’ll go to the stove to boil some water and make a pot of tea.”
“Cousin, just let the girl do this kind of thing!” He Zhen grabbed the kettle, told the little girl to put things on the table, and sent her to boil the water. “Now that you have a body, you should take a good rest. !”
Seeing that the little girl had run out with the teapot, He Ling didn’t insist anymore and sat back on the stool.
“I don’t know what to eat for a pregnant person, so I bought some stuff for replenishing the body!” He Zhen flipped over the things he had brought and showed them the same thing.
He Ling glanced at random, some lack of interest, “I bought a lot of these things at home, I don’t need them, you don’t have to bother so much.”
He Zhen stopped holding things, and then continued to fiddle for a while. He took out a greased paper bag and opened it, saying: “I heard that people with children like to eat sour food. I specially asked someone to buy some plums for them. You are a snack, cousin wants to taste it?”
Seeing the plums in front of him, He Ling stretched out his hand and twisted one under his nose to sniff, then put it back, “No, I don’t like the smell.”
He Zhen’s eyes flashed, and she smiled and put the plum aside, “It’s okay, if you don’t like it, you can stop eating it, cousin’s taste is the most important thing!”
“You came back today, where did you go?” He Ling raised his eyes as if asking casually.
He Zhen didn’t know what he meant by this, so he paused and said, “I rushed to my cousin as soon as I returned to the village, and I won’t have time to go home in the future.”
He Ling nodded, and said: “You should go back and see, they have had a lot of things these days, and I’m afraid they are thinking of you in their hearts.”
“I see. I will come to visit when I leave. Don’t worry about my cousin!” Missing? He Zhen snorted in her heart. They are afraid that they will hate him to death now!
The two chatted for a while, the girl came back with the teapot, He Zhen got up to take it, let her go to wait in the carriage, and pour a cup for He Ling herself, “Cousin, please use it. Be careful.”
After he finished talking, he poured himself a cup before putting down the teapot, took the cup and blew it lightly, took a sip, and exclaimed, “The tea my cousin bought is much more fragrant than the landlord’s!”
“If you like it, use more.” He Ling also picked up the cup, blew a few pieces of tea leaves floating on the surface, and took a sip.
He Zhen stared at the tea in the cup and couldn’t see her expression clearly. He only heard him say: “It’s really great to be able to sit and chat with my cousin like this!”
He Ling put the cup down and said nothing. If the two of them had been able to get along well since they were young, perhaps this situation would be a common occurrence, and there would not be so many hatreds.
“Cousin doesn’t think so?” He Zhen raised her head to look at him without receiving a reply, smiling very brightly.
He sighed slightly, He Ling opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly reached out his hand to cover his abdomen, the expression on his face became very painful.
“What’s the matter with you cousin?” He Zhen stood up and walked to him, supporting his body lying on the table, very concerned: “Are you okay? Where is it?”
“Belly…belly…” He Ling seemed sad, and couldn’t say anything. He arched his back, clutching his abdomen tightly, “Xiangong… call him…”
“You asked me to help you find your cousin? Of course…” He Zhen leaned close to him and pressed his lips to his ear, “No!”
He Ling turned to look at him in surprise, and when he met his smiling eyes, he seemed to understand something, “It’s you?! You added something to the tea!”
He Zhen let go of the hand holding him, took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and said, “Yes, it’s me. In fact, you are still defensive against me. I am afraid that I will put medicine in the plum, so I don’t take it.”
He sat down on a stool by the side, stretched out his hand to support his chin, admiring his painful appearance, “But you are held in the palm of your hand by Qi Yue, and you don’t understand the sinister heart. Is something wrong? You are a pregnant person. I have taken many medicines and it’s okay. You are different. You will lose your child!”
“You… shameless!” He Ling gritted his teeth, his eyes flushed with pain and annoyance, “If you do…do so many bad things, don’t you be afraid of…retribution?”
“Retribution?” He Zhen sneered, disdainful of these two words, “If God really retributes me, then he should open his eyes and see how much injustice has been done to me!”
Seeing him so unrepentant, He Ling turned his face and didn’t want to look at him again.
He Zhen stretched out his hand to pinch his chin and asked him to look directly into his eyes, “Are you desperate now? It’s painful? When I had nothing, I was a thousand times more than you!”
Throwing away him, He Zhen stood up, looked around the house, and then said: “When you lived here and enjoyed the good fortune, you didn’t understand what life I was like!”
“Now too!” He turned around and looked at him condescendingly, “I want to endure the pain and smile at an old man, and if you don’t have to do anything, someone will bring a lot of good things to you!”
He Ling leaned on the table with his hands, and seemed to have lost the strength to argue with him, and only looked at him with an unreasonable look.
“I thought those rumors could drive you away from here, or at least make you spurned by the villagers!” He Zhen rubbed her hand on her somewhat dizzy forehead before saying: “I didn’t expect Qi Yue to take you so soon. The matter is resolved!”
“What are the benefits for you to do this kind of thing?” He Ling couldn’t understand, is it not good for them to lead their own lives? They have to have such many calculations.
“I am happy, if you are not good, I am happy!” He Zhen opened his hand and let out a somewhat crazy laugh, “hahaha… you are like this now, I am very happy! You don’t know, Lin I did the little tiger’s thing too. For kids, it couldn’t be easier to give some delicious and fun things to help them bully the individual.”
“He’s still a kid!” He Ling clenched the tablecloth under his hand, the rumors had already been guessed, but he didn’t expect it to be his own!
Thinking of Lin Xiaohu lying on the bed with a pale face, he felt very guilty. Such a well-behaved and sensible child would be hurt by others because of him.
