Chapter 307
But the next day, Liang's father lifted the ban on Aunt Liang and agreed to let her go out.
Privately, Liang's father warned Cui Li: "When your mother goes out, follow her closely to see if she has any contact with Old Man Chen."
Cui Li nodded solemnly and agreed.
On the first day Aunt Liang went out, everyone in the compound greeted her.
"Cui'e, you finally came out!"
"Yes! The New Year is coming soon, and my old man asked me to buy New Year's goods." Aunt Liang said with a smile.
"Your old man is so cruel, locking you up at home for so long." Someone said sarcastically.
Aunt Liang laughed and retorted, "My old man is just jealous. Some insignificant things can make him jealous. In the final analysis, he still thinks too much of me."
Aunt Liang hummed a little tune and went to the supply and marketing cooperative with a bamboo basket.
As the Spring Festival approaches, there are a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and you have to queue up to buy anything.
Two hours later, Aunt Liang came out of the supply and marketing cooperative with her bamboo basket full of things.
As soon as Aunt Liang came out and turned into a deserted alley, she met Old Man Chen.
"Cui'e." Old man Chen called Aunt Liang's name affectionately.
Aunt Liang turned around and wanted to leave.
Old man Chen took a few steps forward and held her back: "Cui'e, I haven't seen you for a while. I miss you so much."
"Don't bother with me. If someone sees us, my old man will lock me up at home again." Aunt Liang wanted to shake off Old Man Chen's hand, but failed.
"If you ask me, your old man is too cruel. I had nothing to do with you, but he locked you up at home for so long, and I couldn't stand it. I really want to say something to you, otherwise, I would feel sorry for you being locked up at home for so long." Old man Chen said with emotion.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh - stop talking nonsense to me! I don't have any other thoughts about you, I only like my old man!" said Aunt Liang.
Old Man Chen's face was full of disappointment: "Do you really only like your old man, or are you afraid that he will find out and scold you?"
Before Aunt Liang could say anything, Old Man Chen continued, "Cui'e, you are so beautiful. If I were your old man, even if you really did something wrong to me, I would not scold you or lock you up. I would only reflect on whether I did not do well enough. Tianxiong should have told you how much I cared about you and felt sorry for you during the time you were locked up at home by your old man. If I didn't want to cause you trouble, I really wanted to break into your house and rescue you!"
Aunt Liang was a little moved by what Old Man Chen said.
Liang Tianxiong always told her about Old Man Chen's concern for her and his care for Liang Tianxiong when he came back. Every time she heard Liang Tianxiong's words, she felt very uncomfortable, thinking that Old Man Chen, an outsider, knew that he should care about her, but Liang's father kept her under house arrest and didn't let her go out.
Seeing that Aunt Liang was somewhat moved, Old Man Chen continued, "Cui'e, I don't want to cause you any trouble. I just hope you're doing well. You've lost weight during this time of being locked up at home. It must be hard for you to be locked up at home. If you want to eat anything, just tell me. I'll definitely buy it for you if I can."
As Old Man Chen spoke, he grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket, stuffed them into Aunt Liang's hand, and walked past Aunt Liang.
Aunt Liang looked at Old Man Chen's back as he walked away, then looked at the White Rabbit milk candy in her hand, and her mood became even more complicated.
She has been with Liang's father for so many years, but when has Liang's father ever bought her White Rabbit milk candy? She always gets it from Liang Tianxiong.
Only Old Man Chen saw her goodness and her difficulties.
Aunt Liang peeled a White Rabbit candy and put it in her mouth, then returned to the slum with a sad face.
Cui Li hid behind the wall, watching Aunt Liang and Old Man Chen walk away, and shook her head.
This old man Chen is a playboy. What he just said to Aunt Liang, he has said similar things to many other aunts over and over again. Some aunts don't buy it at all and just throw the things that old man pushes at him back at him. Some aunts are just like Aunt Liang, who are coaxed by old man Chen and really think that he thinks she is pretty and treats her well.
Old man Chen also really enjoyed the feeling of having these old ladies coaxed by him.
After Liang's father let Aunt Liang go for a few days, he asked Cui Li privately, "Did you follow your mother these days and find out if she had any contact with Old Man Chen?"
Cui Li looked hesitant, unsure whether to speak or not. "Dad, I've been with Mom a few times and have seen some things, but I can't say it. You've probably noticed how much better Mom looks and feels since she was able to go out. I don't think you'd believe some things even if I told you. Why don't you go with Mom and see it for yourself?"
Liang's father's face immediately became gloomy.
It was obvious what Cui Li meant by this that she had seen something, but she was not in a position to say it, so she hinted to him to go with Aunt Liang to see for himself.
So, on New Year's Eve, Liang's father lied that he was on duty, but in fact he was waiting for Aunt Liang behind a certain alley as Cui Li told him.
Aunt Liang lined up at the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning to buy meat.
After happily grabbing the meat, Aunt Liang ran into Old Man Chen as usual in the alley on her way back to the slum.
"Cui'e, you are smiling so happily. Did you get the meat?" Old man Chen showed his sparse teeth and smiled at Aunt Liang.
"Yes! It's worth it that I lined up early in the morning. Look, this piece of meat I got is so good." Aunt Liang looked at Old Man Chen proudly showing off his achievements.
"Cui'e is so amazing. Even the meat she snatched is better than others." Old man Chen praised with a smile.
Aunt Liang was very pleased to hear this, thinking to herself: Liang's father never praised her for this. To be more precise, Liang's father never praised her. He only had a stern face all day long, complaining that she was not doing well enough.
At this time, Liang's father, who was secretly criticized by Aunt Liang, followed Aunt Liang here, hiding in the dark, watching Aunt Liang and Old Man Chen with anger in his eyes.
"However, if you were my wife, I would not let you queue up in the cold weather. I would queue up myself." Old man Chen changed the subject.
Aunt Liang glared at him and said, "You only know how to say nice things. It's not like you don't have a wife, and you didn't stand in line in the cold!"
"You are not my wife. I only feel sorry for the people I want to feel sorry for." Old man Chen said confidently.
His words once again pleased Aunt Liang, making her feel very happy and the smile on her face even bigger.
"Cui'e, look at you, your face is a little red from the cold. It makes me feel bad just looking at you." Old Man Chen said with a distressed look, "I bought some sugar-roasted chestnuts. Last time I met Tianxiong, he said he wanted to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts, so I bought some specially this time. You can take them back and eat them secretly with Tianxiong."
