Chapter 43 Wu Limei's Abnormality

The difficulty lies in the daytime, and Gu Yunsu thought about it before he came back.

How to get along with Wu Limei, and how to get along with Li Yan? He had finally managed to avoid conflicts with Li Jianxiong, but looking at the awkward situation between him and Wu Limei, Gu Yunsu couldn't help but have a headache.

A good family collapsed in an instant.

As clear as Gu Yunsu was, she also felt that she was unable to straighten out the mess of relationships and conflicts between the characters. She just wanted to lie down and let fate laugh at her incompetence.

It's always like this after a quarrel with someone close to you, feeling guilty, wronged, embarrassed... Why couldn't Gu Yunsu have a long-lasting intimate relationship in the past? She thought about it and realized that another reason was that she couldn't clean up the mess. She couldn't just walk over and say, "Let's make peace" after a fierce quarrel.

They want to save face and have self-respect, and no matter how turbulent their hearts are, they are unwilling to calmly express their grievances and feelings to the other party.

"That's why I'm so angry."

"But even though I'm angry I still love you."

It can be clearly explained in just two sentences.

But because she is afraid that the other party will not give her the same love and tolerance, that she will be laughed at by the other party if she reveals her true feelings, and that she will be abandoned by the other party while she is still thinking about how to win back the relationship, sometimes, she will even delete the other party's contact information and run away overnight after a quarrel.

Coward. She cursed herself too.

Just like the two times she had quarreled with Wu Limei, she thought about running away from home, and after the disagreement with Xu Wenbin, she fled back in a panic. Sometimes she felt that her life was like an escape, fleeing from one place to another, from one person to another.

Now there is truly no escape.

Gu Yunsu was very sleepy for two days. All she did all day was eat and sleep. Wu Limei ignored her, and Xu Wenbin also ignored her. The feeling of being trapped on the island alone came back to her, but she didn't think about it or feel it. She just slept, watched TV shows, listened to music, and was in a daze.

Writing has long been impossible. There is no such thing as escaping from the plan. Even the accompanying plan is in danger and will soon be ruined. Life is a mess, and plans can never keep up with the changes.

She couldn't even tell whether she hated Wu Limei more or loved her more, whether she wanted to quarrel with her more or make peace with her more.

In the past two days, she had secretly observed Wu Limei many times. The two of them had "hand-to-hand combat" and there were also opportunities for them to test each other.

Gu Yunsu found that her mother's condition was a little different from usual. She couldn't tell whether she was angry or resentful. She felt neither sad nor happy, but inexplicably calm.

But Gu Yunsu was afraid of this kind of calmness. It was like the calmness before a storm, the calmness of doing great things quietly. Wu Limei seemed to have entered a world of her own and didn't want to share it with anyone.

Damn it, isn't this the same as Li Yan? !

Gu Yunsu was overwhelmed when he thought about the fact that his family had just solved the problem of a problem teenager, but now had a problem mother.

Moreover, Wu Limei is still a pregnant woman. She hasn't even given birth to the child yet and she's already like this. If she really gives birth, won't she suffer from postpartum depression?

As an advanced woman who has been paying attention to mental health for many years, Gu Yunsu knows how terrible postpartum depression is. No matter how angry she is with Wu Limei, she still regards her as her only relative. It may sound corny, but she really thinks that Wu Limei is the person she loves most in the world, and she hopes she will be happy.

The relationship between mother and daughter, or between family members, is really complicated. There is love, hate, likes and dislikes. A certain distance must be maintained to maintain this emotional balance. Those who do not need to care about the so-called sense of distance are already very lucky.

Gu Yunsu thought about it again and again, and finally took the initiative to find Wu Limei.

It was a weekday, and Wu Limei and her daughter were the only ones at home. She was rummaging through drawers and cabinets, looking for something. When she saw Gu Yunsu at the door, she paused, then lowered her head and went back to work.

Gu Yunsu felt a little embarrassed and aggrieved, thinking that this situation was obviously caused by both of them, but the other party was so cruel that he had the ability to treat her coldly for so long. She had been compromising all the time, and she had really suffered enough from Wu Limei for all her life.

She made an excuse: "I need to do laundry. Is there no more detergent at home?"

Wu Limei stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment, and said calmly, "It's in the kitchen cabinet, look for it."

Gu Yunsu said, "I looked for it, but it wasn't there."

Wu Limei: "Impossible, I saw it last month."

Gu Yunsu: "Really? Why don't you look for it?"

Wu Limei had no choice but to put down the clothes in her hands and go to the kitchen.

Of course he couldn't find it, because Gu Yunsu had hidden everything in advance.

She had no ill intentions, she just wanted to find a reason to create some daily interactions naturally, and then dissipate her anger and forget the conflict.

She said proudly, "I said I couldn't find it."

Wu Limei said nothing. She had a big belly and could not bend her waist or knees. She did the lunge with her legs split.

Gu Yunsu looked at her and her pride turned into shame. She didn't dare to tell the truth and just patted her mother and said, "Forget it. I'll go buy a bottle."

Wu Limei continued to look through the pages, not giving up, and said to herself, "Strange, there's obviously more."

But her waist hurt so much that she couldn't hold on for long. She could only hold on to the stove with one hand and her waist with the other hand and slowly stand up. She gave up and said, "Go buy it. Do you have money?"

Gu Yunsu nodded in agreement and sighed in his heart.

Wu Limei really did not treat her badly in this regard.

Other children have already started to "pay tribute" to their parents at this time. Her peers who are doing well in their circle of friends are already showing off the fact that they bought cars for their parents, but she is still like a child who has no ability to take care of herself and has to ask her parents for money.

But Wu Limei never said anything to her, and sometimes she would even ask, "Do you have enough money? I'll give you another 5,000 yuan."

But Wu Limei's savings are also fixed. If she gives more to her daughter, she will spend less.

Gu Yunsu thought that people should not be too sensible. Look at her, she didn't need Wu Limei's teaching at all, she started to reflect on herself eight hundred times.

However, once two people have had a conversation, breaking the ice in the relationship is not a luxury.

Gu Yunsu had originally thought very well that the past should be the past. What knots and conflicts, hadn't the two of them lived well in the past 28 years when they hadn't opened up these scars? What was there that had to be resolved? Life, after all, is "a rare ignorance", and it's the same for everyone. Some things can be turned a blind eye and fooled. Being too serious will only cause pain to both parties.

But she found that after so many days, Wu Limei's attitude was still indifferent and unpredictable.

That shouldn't be the case, she thought. Logically, Wu Limei might hold a grudge, but that was only in her heart. She had never acted so awkwardly.

She also had a discussion with Li Jianxiong about this.

Old Li was also gloomy: "Meimei hasn't forgiven me yet. She's just like that no matter what I say."

Gu Yunsu nodded: "Does it seem like you are not angry, but also seem like you are still angry?"

Li Jianxiong seemed to have met a kindred spirit, nodding frantically: "Yes, she won't tell me when I ask her, I don't know what she is thinking." Then he made a bitter face and asked her, "I did something wrong, but you don't have to punish me like this, right? Am I so evil?"

In order to persuade Wu Limei to stop the quarrel, Gu Yunsu did not say a single bad thing about Li Jianxiong in front of Wu Limei, and only made excuses for him. But she also felt in her heart that Li Jianxiong was 100% responsible this time and there was nothing to defend him.

Originally, having a child is a "crime" committed by two people together, and the decision is also made by two people together. A real man dares to do it but not admit it. Isn't it despicable?

Gu Yunsu thought that if this happened to her, she might even want to divorce on impulse.

She nodded: "What you did is indeed chilling."

Upon hearing this, Li Jianxiong became even more depressed and sighed repeatedly: "I also realize that I did not do well, but I really did not think too much at the time. I thought it was better to have less trouble than more. I didn't know who they were and how they would react, so why not just not let them know?"

Objectively speaking, Gu Yunsu can understand Li Jianxiong's heart. To some extent, he may also want to protect Wu Limei from the gossip of outsiders. But she also believes that Li Jianxiong must have done this for self-protection. He wants to maintain his normal, mature, and decent image as a man, so he does not allow any problems that may become flaws to appear.

Sometimes, "not thinking too much" is the most important thing. That kind of subconscious behavior can best reflect sincerity. Li Jianxiong was not wrong, and Gu Yunsu boldly guessed that his shame was more directed at himself, but Wu Limei didn't know, or maybe even Li Jianxiong himself didn't know.

Gu Yunsu also sighed, and then asked: "Why is my mother so angry?"

Li Jianxiong: "Because I lied and refused to admit that she was pregnant."

"So what? Why is she mad about this?"

Li Jianxiong thought for a moment and said, "Because she thinks I don't have the courage."

Gu Yunsu: "Think about it again. Why is she so angry that you don't have the courage in this matter?"

"Because..." Li Jianxiong frowned, racking his brains for a long time, and tentatively concluded, "Because she thinks I don't love her?"

Gu Yunsu: "Anything else?"

Li Jianxiong: "She thinks I've abandoned her!"

Gu Yunsu: "What is this kind of dislike called? Or, what do you dislike about her? Why do you dislike her?" She looked at the other person's confused eyes and sighed, "Let me be frank. Why did you lie? Do you feel embarrassed? But think about it from my mother's perspective. Will she think you feel embarrassed? No, she is the one who is pregnant and she let others know it, so she will only think that you feel embarrassed about her."

After saying this, Gu Yunsu shrugged and added, "That's what I think anyway."

Although it was a bit exaggerated, in her opinion, Li Jianxiong was simply struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

He digested it for almost half a minute before he sighed, "So... is that what you think?"

Gu Yunsu had no ill intentions, but she couldn't help but imitate her uncle Li with a hint of sarcasm: "Then you...then you never realized it?"

Li Jianxiong shook his head: "Women's minds are really hard to guess."
