Chapter 7: Don’t Keep Me Any Longer. Grandma Zhang Qin has been busy investigating...
Later, Grandma Zhang Qin was busy tracking down the real culprit of the "big pit". There were only a few families in the village, and she was an old lady who was particularly good at "exploding". With just a few words, she exposed Erhua's true identity.
She took her sister and brother's clothes to Erhua's house to wash them thoroughly, and also scooped away two baskets of water from Erhua's house as compensation.
The "truth" about Zhang Qin's suicide spread throughout Mutian Village and even reached the neighboring Xiaotao Village.
They were all shocked by the girl's "thoughts", and when they heard that she didn't want to trouble her grandmother and wanted to earn her own living, they began to respect her even more.
Some elders who always like to gossip about her felt like their tongues were tied up and they couldn't sleep well for several days.
However, those naughty kids who usually like to bully her suddenly found it boring.
She is leaving and I won’t be able to bully her anymore. It’s so boring.
When Fu Yaya heard that she was leaving, she felt it was a pity. How could a sister whom she had just met leave like that?
She wanted to persuade Zhang Qin, but nothing worked, so she had to go find Mo Dongdong.
Mo Dongdong was drinking at the time, and she was shocked when she saw him. This boy looked very gentle on weekdays, how could he be drunk?
Is it because of Zhang Qin?
Fu Yaya looked at Mo Dongdong's lifeless eyes and said, "If you still have feelings for her, why don't you keep her?"
Mo Dongdong couldn't drink much, and he got tipsy after just a little bit of drinking. He held the wine glass and looked at Fu Yaya in a daze.
This girl is so beautiful, as beautiful as Zhang Qin.
But she is not Zhang Qin.
"Do you like her very much?" Fu Yaya asked.
like?
Mo Dongdong's wine glass trembled, and he smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer.
He was her fiancé, but he had never really looked at her before. Now, she no longer belonged to him, so he should be happy.
But she just couldn't be happy. Her mind was full of the scene of her catching shrimps by the river that day and Erhua bullying her from behind.
That day she caught two small shrimps, and Erhua deliberately poured a large basket of water on her head.
She looked back at Erhua angrily.
Erhua said, "Ahahaha, ahahaha, this little bastard is soaked."
He wanted to go forward to dissuade her, but he held back. He felt that this girl should be taught a lesson. It was her fault that she was always like a thorn in the side, and she wanted to bite anyone she saw.
What if she wants to bite him after they get married? It's time to temper her anger.
He watched from afar as the girl threw the shrimp back into the river, then with a sweep of her arms, threw Erhua into the river as well.
No one knew where she got the strength that day, as she clearly couldn't beat Erhua before.
He sighed in his heart for a long time.
Mo Dongdong half-drooped his head on the table, thinking carefully about the plot.
I used to think that her owl-like appearance was too scary. I thought that this girl was sharp-tongued and a little hedgehog. If I married her home, I had to work hard to control her domineering side.
Looking back now, wasn’t that domineering look a result of helplessness forced by the need to survive?
Actually, it's actually quite cute.
Mo Dongdong twitched the corner of his mouth and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
Fu Yaya was a little moved when she saw him like this. She had never seen such an affectionate man before.
She is a sentimental person and hates to see men get emotional or cry.
She felt that a man in love had an indescribable charm, especially when he got drunk because of a woman's heartache, which was simply charming.
So looking at the silent Mo Dongdong, I felt an inexplicable affection for him.
This affection grew stronger and stronger, gradually spreading to her internal organs, and keeping her awake at night.
Mo Dongdong felt that what Fu Yaya said was nonsense.
If he could keep her, could he let her fly away with the girl with the bowl-cut hair?
There was nothing he could do but drink.
An 18-year-old young boy seemed to have turned into a worried man overnight. His face remained the same, but there was a lot more desolation in the depths of his eyebrows and eyes.
Fu Yaya saw him like this several times, and her heart was sour and painful.
When a man is silent, he seems to have a powerful force that can attract women's attention, especially good-looking men.
Every time Fu Yaya lay in bed in the middle of the night thinking about Mo Dongdong's depressed and lost look, she felt anxious and didn't know what she was thinking. She went to find Zhang Qin in a daze.
That day, Zhang Qin was playing the game of "Whoever loses is a coward" with the turtle.
She knocked on the turtle's shell and stared at it with her peach-shaped eyes. If you didn't know, you would think they were playing "Stand Still".
Fu Yaya entered the room and looked at her with a dazed look.
Every time Liu Binghai saw Fu Yaya recently, he felt uncomfortable for the original owner and had always been somewhat distant towards her.
Fu Yaya rubbed her hands and stammered, "Xiaoqin..."
Although he felt distant, Liu Binghai still responded to her politely.
Fu Yaya continued, "Can you...can you go and see Dongdong?"
Liu Binghai lowered his head and tapped the turtle's shell, then asked casually, "Why are you looking at him?"
Fu Yaya bit her lip and said anxiously, "He's been so distracted by you lately. Don't you want to...don't you want to go see him? After all, you're engaged."
Liu Binghai raised his eyebrows to look at Fu Yaya's blushing face and interrupted, "Yaya, there's no need to keep mentioning my engagement."
Fu Yaya knew she had said the wrong thing, so she changed the subject and quickly said, "Yes, yes, I was wrong. I was thinking that he was feeling so bad, and only you could persuade him."
After listening to this, Liu Binghai didn't say anything for a long time. He held the turtle in his palm and looked at it for a long time, wondering why the turtle didn't show up for a long time today. Could it be dead?
Fu Yaya called out anxiously again: "Xiaoqin..."
Liu Binghai raised his hand to interrupt her, then slowly turned his head and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him.
Those almond-shaped eyes were looking at him anxiously, his lips were tightly pursed, and his watery face was like a rose bud about to bloom.
She smiled and suddenly said, "With you by his side, how many days can he be sad?"
Fu Yaya was shocked when she heard this, and her eyes couldn't help but show a bit of panic, "Xiaoqin, what do you mean by this?"
There is no other meaning for the drifting ice sea.
I just think they are a good match. If they should be together, they should be together. There is no need to drag it out for her.
She expressed her meaning exactly as it was, and Fu Yaya panicked again.
Seeing that she was as panicked as a rabbit, Liu Binghai didn't want to scare her, so he just said calmly: "Yaya, do you have him in your heart?"
Asked this, Fu Yaya felt extremely guilty. If she said he was there, it wouldn't be to the point of being unforgettable. But if she said he wasn't there, she was indeed upset about him recently.
Moreover, this matter was actually discovered by Liu Binghai. Fu Yaya's face was burning hot, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Her eyes dodged around, and she didn't know how to answer.
Liu Binghai felt that she didn't need to do this.
I asked this question myself without any shame on the other party.
No matter in this life or the previous one, they have already called off the engagement. Whether they are best friends or sisters, it has nothing to do with her who is good with Mo Dongdong.
She distanced herself from Fu Yaya only out of pity and respect for the original owner, and had no ill intentions.
However, there is no ill will, but we don't have to be friends. We can just go our separate ways and forget each other.
But she came here in a hurry today and kept mentioning Mo Dongdong, which made her a little annoyed.
She wanted to end these unnecessary ties and have nothing to do with him in the future.
So she said it directly and clearly, hoping that if Fu Yaya had feelings for him, she would go after him and not bother her.
When Fu Yaya heard her say that, her heart beat as fast as a rabbit and she didn't dare to look at her.
Liu Binghai continued, "Yaya, I have nothing to do with him anymore. I don't care whether he's sad or not. Since you care about me, just express your concern openly. There's no need to come here and deliberately test me."
Fu Yaya moved her lips, "I didn't..."
Liu Binghai said, "You came here today, didn't you also want to test whether I still have feelings for him?"
Fu Yaya stopped talking, pinching the corner of her sleeve without saying anything.
Looking at that big white rabbit face, any man could not help but have his male hormones aroused. Liu Binghai glanced at Fu Yaya.
"No, it's long gone. If you like it, just like it openly and honestly. Don't worry about me."
Fu Yaya's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes lit up. "Really? You don't like Dongdong at all?"
Liu Binghai suddenly found this ridiculous. "Don't even mention a little bit, not even a cent. If there was any, I would make turtle soup."
Fu Yaya stood there for a long time without moving.
She bit her lip and whispered after a long while, "But he can't let you go now...you...you have to think of a way."
Liu Binghai was really helpless with Fu Yaya. Did he want her to tie the man to his side?
This was not within her scope of responsibility.
"What can I do?" She glanced at Fu Yaya, stood up, put the turtle on the table, and poured herself a glass of water.
He didn't pour any for Fu Yaya, which meant he was planning to send her away.
Fu Yaya saw it, but still blushed and begged her, "Xiaoqin, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. You don't want him to keep thinking about you and bothering you, right?"
Liu Binghai frowned.
Fu Yaya was right about this.
She was about to leave. She was originally in a good mood, but her biggest worry was that Mo Dongdong had been coming to her house several times recently.
Without saying a word, he just stared at her at the door.
He said nothing and did nothing. Sometimes he walked back and forth, and sometimes he pretended to pass by. When he passed by, he tilted his head and stared blankly, like a big piece of wood.
"So?" Liu Binghai asked calmly, holding a glass of water, "What do you want?"
Fu Yaya bit her lip.
"No matter how I persuade you now, it's useless. You still have to say some things..."
"Xiaoqin, there's no need to say too much. Just ask him to look around, look more at his friends, and cherish the people around him..."
"Xiaoqin, your words are effective..."
Liu Binghai said nothing and put the cup on the table with a bang.
"Xiaoqin." Fu Yaya called out anxiously again.
She looked up at the emotional beauty and lowered her brows.
Originally, she really didn't want to meddle in other people's business. The engagement was cancelled, and she didn't want to get involved in whether he was dead or alive. But seeing Fu Yaya's indecisive look, she grabbed the turtle in her palm and stroked its shell.
After a long while, he replied calmly, "Okay."
This was the first time she had ever sent her old lover to bed with a new woman.
…
Winter is about to pass and spring is approaching. The temperature is rising, bringing infinite hope to life.
It's time to say goodbye.
One day, Liu Binghai took out several large baskets and said goodbye to the old lady.
Those were the wild vegetables she had dug and picked in recent months.
Some are on the mountains, some are in the fields, and some are by the rivers.
She had shown them all to the "powerful" bowl-cut guy, who confirmed they were non-toxic, so she gave them all to the old lady.
It wasn't easy for the old lady to raise her, but she never starved to death.
"Grandma, please collect these wild vegetables. They will be enough to last for several months."
The old lady looked at the baskets of wild vegetables and asked Liu Binghai, "Did you pick these recently?"
"Yes." Liu Binghai replied calmly, "Please keep it for now. When I go out and earn something good, I'll ask someone to bring it to you."
The old lady felt uncomfortable after hearing this, as she really had not loved the child much in the past.
In the past, she had regarded her as a burden. It was not easy for her to support the brother and sister in this remote village. But now that she was leaving, she felt unhappy.
As a result, the old lady's face was covered with several different emotions.
These days, she had also advised Liu Binghai that the outside world was far away and what could she do? It would be better to find an honest man to marry here, while Mo Dongdong still had feelings for her, and marry him quickly, don't miss this opportunity.
But she was very stubborn and refused to agree with a wooden face.
The old lady was helpless and said all the good and bad things.
You insist on going out, what on earth can you do? You know it's windy and rainy outside? Your parents can't control you, so what on earth can you do outside?
She left only one sentence: "No matter what I do, I'm starting over. There's no need to listen to nonsense. I have to walk my own path. I can't blame others for my life or death. Just let me go and stop trying to persuade me."
The old lady was still worried: If something happens to you, your mother will come to me and ask for you, what should I say?
Liu Binghai smiled and said, "You just said that I'm an adult and can't control me. She doesn't even support me herself, so what right does she have to come to you and question you? Aren't these things what have been lingering in your mind all these years? If she came to ask, you would definitely be able to deal with it. I understand whatever you say to her. Just let me go."
The old lady paused and stopped talking.
Now, watching her leave basket after basket of things at home, as if she would never come back, the old lady frowned and asked:
"Are you really leaving? Are you coming back? How long do you plan to be gone?"
She asked so many questions at once that Liu Binghai really had no way of answering them. He could only smile and say, "When I earn enough steamed buns, I'll let you and Uncle Xiaomu have enough to eat."
The old lady felt even more sad after hearing this, and she warned, "Be careful when you go out, there are many wild wolves out there."
Liu Binghai thought the term was amusing and said casually, "What wild wolf? Am I not the biggest wild wolf?"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. When the old lady heard it, her heart skipped a beat and her expression gradually faded.
Time suddenly stood still, and the old lady felt as if something was stuck in her throat, unable to move it up or down.
She had been a bit harsh to her granddaughter in the past, but that was because she was poor and had no choice. Now that her granddaughter was leaving, she felt that there were some things she really should make clear.
We can’t let this kid go away feeling wronged.
