Chapter 56 Ma San faces the cruel truth
Liu Dazhuang wanted to say something to deceive Ma San, but when the two of them looked at each other, he inexplicably couldn't say those words.
He watched Ma San gradually lower his head, obviously he didn't know what to say.
Zhou Yong sighed, thinking that it was meaningless to keep it a secret any longer. He said, "Now that things have come to this, let's stop hiding it from Ma San. He will know about this sooner or later, so why not just let him know!"
Ma San's breathing slowed down, and his face turned slightly pale: "What on earth did you hide from me?"
Cao Biao took a deep breath and said, "Since you want to know, I will tell you, but you have to be mentally prepared..."
Zhou Yong was right. There was no point in hiding the truth any further at this point. It would be better to let Ma San know the truth to stop him from having wild thoughts.
As Cao Biao finished speaking, Ma San's face gradually lost color, as if he was a paper man.
Xing Laoqi stepped forward and patted Ma San on the shoulder: "Don't blame us for hiding it from you. We are doing this for your own good."
Ma San was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
"This is not true. It is absolutely not true. How could my parents not want me?"
Ma San found it hard to accept this reality and began to mutter to himself. Everyone understood his feelings.
Cao Biao sighed: "Ma San, I know it's hard for you to accept it, but this is the truth. Otherwise, you have been in the hospital for several days. How could your family not come?"
Some things cannot stand scrutiny, but Ma San can turn things around if he thinks about it more.
Gradually, Ma San raised his hands and hugged his head with red eyes. His silent look made people feel even more distressed.
"Ma San, cry if you want to. We won't laugh at you."
Ma San didn't react at all, his eyes were empty and unfocused.
Liu Dazhuang couldn't help but worry: "Should we call the doctor over?"
Zhou Yong shook his head: "No, he just has trouble accepting reality."
Cao Biao sighed: "Ma San, you have to hold on. Don't give up because of such a small matter."
Xing Laoqi echoed it, and everyone was cheering for Ma San.
But no one could share Ma San's inner grief.
Ma San was dumbfounded and forced to smile: "I'm fine, don't worry!"
He comforted everyone, then pulled the quilt over his head. The next second, the sound of wailing came out from under the quilt.
Zhou Yong pursed his lips, Cao Biao sighed, Xing Laoqi looked up at the roof, and Liu Dazhuang came to the window.
Ma San never thought that he would be abandoned by his parents, let alone that they would have no regard for family affection at all.
Thinking back on what he had done for his family, Ma San's heart bled.
He told himself again and again to be strong, but he was only twenty years old and had never experienced the hardships of society, so it was difficult for him to accept this cruel truth immediately.
Ma San burst into tears and comforted himself that his parents must have their reasons for doing so, but what kind of reasons could make them abandon their own child?
At this moment Ma San completely collapsed because he himself could not find any reason for his parents to abandon him.
"What's going on?"
Ma San's crying attracted the nurse.
Xing Laoqi hurried over, took the nurse away, and closed the door of the ward.
Zhou Yong put his hands in his pockets and said, "I'll go buy breakfast for everyone."
Cao Biao followed: "I'm going too."
Liu Dazhuang: “…?”
Everyone has left one by one, so he wants to leave too, okay?
Ma San must be alone, especially at this time.
Liu Dazhuang accepted his fate and stayed. He sat down beside Ma San's bed and said, "That's enough. A real man can overcome anything..."
No matter how sad Ma San is, one must always look forward. Living in pain is of no help. In Liu Dazhuang's opinion, it is better to cheer up and live like a decent person to show the Ma family instead.
Ma San was crying so hard that he was gasping for breath. Liu Dazhuang was afraid that he would suffocate, so he lifted the quilt covering his head.
"Don't cry, don't you still have us?"
Ma Youcai didn't care about his son's life or death, but they didn't ignore Ma San. Just for this reason, he had to live well.
"Brother Liu, you are right. I must cheer myself up and live a decent life for them..."
Liu Dazhuang looked at the crying Ma San and nodded: "That's right, let you be sad for a while, but don't do this again in the future. We should all be worried about you..."
Everyone put down what they were doing and stayed with him in the hospital to take care of him. If Ma San continued to be stubborn and didn't know what was good for him, everyone would be disappointed in him.
Ma San nodded, and then the boy started crying again, making Liu Dazhuang very confused.
Ma San didn't eat much for breakfast. His eyes were dull, as if he was a puppet with a lost soul.
Zhou Yong comforted him a few words and left the hospital without eating breakfast.
When he returned to the guesthouse at seven o'clock, Li Caiyun had already woken up.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zhou Yong closed the door, hugged Li Caiyun, and told her what happened to Ma San.
Li Caiyun sighed: "Ma San will get better slowly."
Zhou Yong let go of her and smiled: "Are you hungry?"
Li Caiyun lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "Not bad."
After tossing and turning until the late night, she was actually already hungry.
Zhou Yong was arranging for the check-out, and Li Caiyun said hesitantly: "The sheets are stained."
There are a few beautiful plum blossoms blooming on the bed sheets, which are the symbol of Li Caiyun's purity.
Zhou Yong wanted to lift the quilt to take a look, but Li Caiyun nervously held him back.
"Don't look at it, it's unlucky."
unlucky?
What's so unlucky about this?
Zhou Yong smiled and lifted the quilt, looking at the plum blossoms, feeling so happy!
"Why did you pull the sheets off?"
Zhou Yong said: "We took it home as a souvenir."
Li Caiyun: “…?”
Zhou Yong folded the bed sheet and put it into the triangular bag brought by Li Caiyun.
"How can this be used as a souvenir?"
Li Caiyun really couldn't help but mutter to Zhou Yong.
"You don't understand this, do you? This is what I like as a man."
Li Caiyun froze in place. Zhou Yong smiled and checked the room to make sure nothing was left behind.
After checking out, Zhou Yong took her to have breakfast, and then the couple went to the cinema to return the soda bottles.
After finishing these things, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and Zhou Yong bought two pieces of clothing material for his young wife.
"How do you have so many fabric purchase tickets?"
There are regulations on how many fabric purchase tickets each person can receive in a year.
The reason why Zhou Yong had so many fabric purchase invoices was because of Cao Biao.
The Public Security Brigade has the right to apply for purchase tickets and supply tickets. Every quarter, Cao Biao will find various reasons to apply for more tickets for everyone.
Normally Zhou Yong didn't have much expenses, as the Li family provided him with food, accommodation and clothing. Therefore, over the past three years, he had saved up a lot of purchase tickets for various supplies.
Li Caiyun glanced at Zhou Yong who was speaking the truth: "I thought you had exchanged all the tickets!"
Each household has a limited number of tickets, so people often exchange tickets for others or buy tickets privately.
However, there are not many people selling tickets in this era, mainly because money and tickets are used together everywhere in life, and most people exchange tickets for other tickets.
Zhou Yong smiled and didn't talk about this topic with his wife. Instead, he continued shopping with Li Caiyun.
He bought clothing fabrics for Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang.
Li Caiyun looked at Zhou Yong and the smile on his face never disappeared, her heart was filled with sweetness!
