Chapter 73 He is too soft-hearted

After comforting Hu Meili, Lin Xiangdong hurried to the train station.

Lin Xiangnan was stunned by this move, and asked Hu Meili curiously, "Did I hear it right? Big brother means he is planning to divorce Sun Xiaodie, but he is afraid that Sun Xiaodie will be too sad. You are going to separate, why are you still so entangled?"

Hu Meili said with a headache: "Your elder brother is a soft-hearted person."

Given the current situation, everyone is trying to find ways to stay in the city. Between staying in the city and moving to the countryside, even a fool knows what to choose.

Lin Xiangdong also wanted to stay in the city, but as he said, he really couldn't abandon his wife and children, so he firmly rejected Hu Meili's proposal.

As for whether he would regret his choice in the future, Lin Xiangdong couldn't guarantee it.

But he felt that there was a high probability that he would, especially during the busy farming season.

No one is perfect, he is not a saint.

When Lin Xiangdong chose to give up staying in the city for Sun Xiaodie, he felt quite calm.

But when Sun Xiaodie chose to divorce for him, he suddenly felt suffocated.

Just like what Sun Xiaodie said in the letter, he was inexplicably carrying a mountain on his back, and he might have to carry this mountain for the rest of his life.

When he arrived at the train station, Sun Xiaodie hadn't gotten on the train yet, so he found her quickly.

"I'll take you back. I'm worried about you being alone."

Seeing him, Sun Xiaodie couldn't help laughing. She cried and laughed as she said, "You are always like this. I am about to leave, but you still come to bother me. Aren't you afraid that I will not let you go because I will be reluctant to part with you?"

"If you can't bear to leave me, I will stay and not go back to the city."

Sun Xiaodie pursed her lips, "Forget it. I'm already very happy that you can come and see me off. I know that you have me in your heart, and that's enough. If you come back with me, I won't be able to live a peaceful life."

Lin Xiangdong sent her directly back to the team and left all his savings to Sun Xiaodie.

"I will send you money every month in the future. When my salary increases in a few years... I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you..." Lin Xiangdong didn't even dare to promise anything.

He himself had no idea about the future, and he didn't dare let Sun Xiaodie wait for him. Lin Xiangdong could only send her money and things to compensate her as much as possible.

Sun Xiaodie pretended to be calm and said, "If you remarry, you must write to tell me."

"good."

Lin Xiangdong has no plans to do this in the short term, as he feels guilty about it.

When Lin Xiangdong was outside, Hu Meili was always worried. Only when he came home did Hu Meili finally feel relieved.

As soon as Lin Xiangdong came back, Hu Meili urged him, "You should go to the steel mill to take over my shift tomorrow. The sooner these formalities are completed, the better, to avoid any accidents."

Sun Xiaodie left after making a fuss, which made it seem like Lin Xiangnan and his sister had some petty intentions in handing over their work ahead of time.

But before Lin Xiangnan could say anything, Lin Xiangdong took the initiative to talk to them that night when he returned home.

"I'm sorry. Xiaodie has caused you trouble recently. But at that time, I thought that if she and I returned to the team, the matter would be settled, and I forgot to consider your feelings."

The eldest brother took the initiative to admit his mistake, and Lin Xiangnan and the others felt embarrassed and quickly admitted their mistakes.

The three of them worked together to smooth things over and managed to get the matter over with.

At this time, Hu Meili started talking to Lin Xiangxi again, "If you had taken over my job a year later, our family could have saved an extra 200 yuan! 200 yuan!"

In the past, she had to raise three children by herself and could not save any money.

This year, her child grew up and the family situation improved a little, so she had to give up her job again. The salary of the two apprentices in the family was not as much as she earned alone.

In a few years, when the two children's wages increase, they will have to get married and have children again, and the increased wages will only be enough to support the family.

Workers are said to have the most glorious job, but in fact they cannot save much money throughout the year.

Hu Meili mentions the 200 yuan every time she thinks of it.

Lin Xiangnan's ears were almost callused from hearing this. "What's there to be sad about? I only hand over half of my salary, but my younger brother hands over all of it. It's almost 10 yuan more a month, 200 yuan, won't it be saved up in two years?"

"It's all your fault for being too impatient. There's nothing to be afraid of about Sun Xiaodie. You're scared like this." Hu Meili scolded, "You two useless bastards."

Lin Xiangnan curled his lips secretly. Are they afraid of Sun Xiaodie? They are afraid that Lin Xiangdong will affect Hu Meili's judgment.

In the past, Lin Xiangnan only knew that Hu Meili loved Lin Xiangdong, and she would write letters to him every month and send him money and food coupons to support him. But he never dug into the reason why Hu Meili loved her eldest son.

This time when his elder brother returned home, Lin Xiangnan finally understood everything.

Lin Xiangdong has a really good temper. When Hu Meili scolds him, he will listen to her advice obediently. When Hu Meili calms down, he will take the initiative to admit his mistake and comfort her in a gentle voice.

When he was at home, he would fill Hu Meili's thermos with water every night, for fear that Hu Meili would be thirsty and have no warm water to drink at night.

When the whole family walked together, he would notice that Hu Meili, who was walking behind, was weaker and would deliberately lag behind to accompany her.

When Hu Meili was going home, she tripped over a stone on the roadside, and he would deliberately move the stone away...

There are countless examples like this.

Compared to him, Lin Xiangnan and Lin Xiangxi seemed like fools.

Before Lin Xiangdong came back, Lin Xiangnan felt that Hu Meili was biased.

After Lin Xiangdong came back for a while, Lin Xiangnan said: "If it were me, I would be biased too."

When Hu Meili just lost her husband, the children in the family were still young. She had to go to work to earn money, and at the same time she had to deal with the Lin family who came to cause trouble from time to time. She was exhausted.

Under the pressure of life, her temper became more and more irritable.

Lin Xiangdong was old enough to remember things by that time. He felt sorry for his mother, so he would help Hu Meili with things every day and try to find ways to make Hu Meili happy. Gradually, this became a habit.

But because of Lin Xiangdong's good temper, just after he had worked at the steel plant for half a month, a new girl began to pursue him vigorously.

After Hu Meili found out about this, she started nagging at home, "This girl is not good. She is too aggressive. She is also the daughter of the factory director, so she is very arrogant. We cannot marry such a family. It is best to marry an ordinary girl and live an ordinary life."

Lin Xiangdong quickly explained: "Mom, you misunderstood, I have no plans in this regard. I just got home and I want to spend more time with you. And Xiaodie just left."

"Then why does she keep pestering you?"

"She didn't pester me. A few days ago, she was inconvenient and her pants were dirty, so I gave her my coat to cover it up. So she gave me things twice to express her gratitude." After thinking for a while, Lin Xiangdong added: "I have already rejected her."

A large melon was suddenly stuffed into their mouths. Lin Xiangnan and Lin Xiangxi looked at their eldest brother in shock.

His facial features and temperament are indeed okay, but his skin is a little dark and hasn't recovered yet, so he is not a very handsome guy.

But he can attract the beauties in the village and the beauties in the factory.

They are all born of the same mother. Lin Xiangnan looked at his younger brother expectantly.

Lin Xiangxi lowered his head in shame. He didn't have such treatment. He could only fight with their class beauty.
