After Lu Desheng took the pen, he casually placed it on the table and then put it in the drawer. He had no intention of using it.
"Uncle Lu, you still haven't forgiven me? I know you definitely haven't forgiven me. Well, forget it. People like me really don't deserve your forgiveness. People like me are just wasting air, food, and resources..."
Ruan Qiqi sighed sadly, holding her heart like Xishi, with a sad and mournful expression, as if she had lost the desire to live.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lin Manyun looked alert, always feeling that Ruan Qiqi had bad intentions.
She didn't believe that Ruan Qiqi would suddenly become so sensible. It is difficult to change one's nature, but it is easy to change the country. This little bitch is a lunatic. How can she become a civilized person?
"Aunt Lin, how can you say I'm crazy? I'm doing this for your own good and for the good of this family, but you don't appreciate it and you're stabbing me in the heart. You...you're going too far!"
Ruan Qiqi looked tearful, which made me feel sorry for her. Lin Manyun felt very uncomfortable. This was a trick she often used, but the little bitch had actually learned it.
hateful!
"You plant poisonous capitalist weeds in the yard every day. If someone with ulterior motives reports you, my father's future will be ruined by you. You are stupid and you refuse to admit it. You only know how to blow pillow talk and take advantage of others all day long. You have no brains at all. My father's eyes must be blinded by shit, so he would be fooled by you..."
As Lu Ye was talking, he became angry and was about to curse, but was stopped by Ruan Qiqi.
"Don't say that. No matter how stupid Aunt Lin is, she is your father's concubine after all. Even if she was a concubine in the past, she is still half an elder. We have to know the etiquette. Besides, your Aunt Lin is very self-aware. She knows that she is stupid and is afraid of passing on her genes to her children. She has been taking contraceptive pills for many years. It is also a good deed that she has not given birth to another stupid brother or sister for you!"
Ruan Qiqi's tone was very gentle. She looked very quiet, with a soft and pretty chubby face. As long as she didn't act crazy, she was still very likable.
Lu Desheng's mind was a little confused. He was not quite used to Ruan Qiqi being so well-behaved. He felt very uneasy. He always felt that this was the calm before the storm. This damn girl went crazy without any warning.
At this time, Lu Desheng hadn't reacted yet, but Lin Manyun's face changed drastically, and she shouted in panic: "Who is on contraception? What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I took your pulse yesterday. You've been taking medicine for more than ten years. My father is the best barefoot doctor in the whole commune. I won't be wrong."
Ruan Qiqi blinked, her tone very firm.
In fact, she didn't know how to take a ghost's pulse. It was the camphor tree behind the Lu family's house that told her that. She originally wanted to dig up some evidence against Lin Manyun, but the camphor tree behind the Lu family's house was too young and knew too little. After asking for a long time, she found out that Lin Manyun took medicine frequently.
The little camphor tree didn't know what medicine it was taking. It only knew that Lin Manyun would take it every month when she had bleeding. She would take it for about twenty days in a row, then stop and wait until the next month when she would bleed.
Ruan Qiqi knew it was the birth control pill as soon as she heard it, and Lin Manyun was taking it now. It seemed that Lu Desheng was really still strong. Even though he was an old man in his sixties, his sexual needs were still so strong.
"You take birth control pills?"
Lu Desheng finally reacted and looked at his wife in confusion.
He always wanted to have a few more children, but Lin Manyun said that he was old and his sperm was not good, so he could not have any more children.
Moreover, Lin Manyun had always shown that she wanted to have another child, so he had been blaming himself all these years, thinking that it was because of him that his wife was unable to fulfill her wish.
But now he is telling him that his wife can’t have children because she has been on contraception?
Then why did she say he was not in good health?
Do you still want to show that you want to have children so much?
Lu Desheng was confused for a moment. The impression of Lin Manyun on him had always been that of a timid, virtuous and considerate person. Now that this impression was overturned, he seemed to realize that his wife was not who she appeared to be.
"I didn't, Lao Lu, why don't you believe me?"
Lin Manyun looked extremely aggrieved, her eyes were red. Lu Desheng softened his heart again, thinking that how could a little girl like Ruan Qiqi really know how to take a pulse? Maybe she had taken it wrong?
Lu Ye saw through Lin Manyun's guilty conscience at a glance. He had been fighting wits and courage with this woman over the years and knew her very well.
He sneaked into the old man's bedroom quietly and found a box of white pills in the innermost drawer of the bedside table. The pills were written in foreign languages and half of them were taken.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
Lu Ye came out with the box of medicine. He only knew a few simple English words and couldn't understand the professional drug names, but he guessed that it must be contraceptive pills.
Ruan Qiqi could actually understand it, but she didn't understand English. She was too lazy to make excuses and said, "Take it to the hospital and ask."
Lin Manyun's face turned pale, her mind went blank, but she quickly adjusted her mood and took the initiative to admit her mistake: "Old Lu, I'm sorry, I lied to you. It's not that I don't want to have a child for you, but I was really too scared. When I gave birth to Liberation and Aid Korea, I almost lost my life. I... I didn't want to die, so... I took the medicine secretly. I really didn't mean to hide it from you."
She knew very well that Lu Desheng hated deception and betrayal the most. If she asked him to go to the hospital for a check-up, he would definitely find it difficult to forgive her. It would be better for her to take the initiative to admit her mistake and then coax him. She was sure that she could coax Lu Desheng.
Lu Desheng's face was as cold as ice, and his heart was as cold as ice. He was not angry at Lin Manyun for not having children, but at her for deceiving him.
If she had talked to him nicely, he would not force her to have a baby. However, Lin Manyun agreed to her on the surface, but secretly took medicine and put the blame on him, causing him to blame himself all these years.
This kind of behavior was the double-dealing he hated the most, and the person who did this was the person he trusted the most. Lu Desheng felt very uncomfortable. He suddenly felt that Lin Manyun had become very strange, and he didn't know how many things this woman had hidden from him.
Lu Desheng looked at Lin Manyun deeply, took the medicine from Lu Ye, and said, "Let's stop here and don't say any more."
Lin Manyun breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Lu Desheng had been fooled by her, and she couldn't help feeling a little proud. She even looked at Lu Ye provocatively. After all, Old Lu still favored her.
Lu Ye's face changed and his eyes were hurt. He thought that Lu Desheng was going to make a big fuss about it and then let it go. It was like this every time. For him, it was a small matter and he was punished severely, but for Lin Manyun and Lu Chuncao and others, he would lift them high and then let them go lightly.
"Uncle Lu, you must use the pen I gave you. If you don't use it, it means you haven't forgiven me. I feel so sad that I can't even breathe."
Ruan Qiqi picked up the pen again and squeezed out a few tears.
Lu Desheng frowned. He had a fountain pen and didn't want to use this one.
Lu Ye sneered, pulled out the pen from his shirt pocket, put it in his own pocket, and then put the pen that Ruan Qiqi gave him in his pocket.
He even mocked her, "You have cultivated the wasteland for more than ten years and got nothing, but you don't care. Why do you care about the little things of Qiqi? You don't even use the pen she gave you. You are really tolerant!"
Lu Desheng gritted his teeth and wanted to curse, but he didn't know what to say. After all, the bastard was right, he had indeed been cultivating the wasteland for more than ten years.
He glared at Lu Ye, took off the cap of the pen, and wrote a few words casually on the newspaper on the table. He unexpectedly found that this pen was unexpectedly easy to use. It was much better than the one he used before. It wrote very smoothly, and the words written with this pen were particularly beautiful.
"This pen is very good. I will use this one from now on. Thank you."
Lu Desheng's thanks this time were more sincere. He also felt that although Ruan Qiqi was a little crazy, her gift was still very sincere. As long as the girl didn't let Lu Ye come to her house, he could accept it.
"You're welcome. As long as Uncle Lu likes it, I'm glad. I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow and will bring some local specialties to Uncle Lu next time."
Ruan Qiqi smiled politely and said goodbye.
Lu Desheng didn't try to keep her, as he still had something to ask Lin Manyun.
Lu Ye and Ruan Qiqi left together. He returned to the army and first sent Ruan Qiqi back to the guesthouse.
"What's the origin of that pen?"
Lu Ye always felt that there must be a deeper meaning behind Ruan Qiqi giving him a pen for no reason.
"That's where Shi Jinghong got it."
Ruan Qiqi winked. He also learned from the camphor tree that this pen was Shi Jinghong's favorite and he often put it in his pocket to pretend to be a cultured person. If he had not been so anxious to catch Liu Hongling that day, the pen would not have been left in the office.
