But is the little girl sad? Jiang's mother glanced at the closed room and heard no sound. She lowered her voice and asked what Hao Yuanchao had just said. When she learned that Hao Yuanchao had taken the initiative to cancel the engagement, and recalled her daughter's reaction just now, she wondered if the little girl had sharp ears and heard it in the corridor, which was why she slapped him?
Later in the evening, Jiang's mother came in with food to see Jiang Shuyao. She was lying on the bed, reading a Russian book. Her eyes didn't seem red or swollen, but her sickly little face had no expression and her mood couldn't be seen.
Jiang's mother was confused and put the food on the bedside table. "Are you reading?"
Song Shuyao closed the book and sat up. She smiled faintly at Jiang's mother and nodded. Looking at the pieces of meat and poached eggs in the bowl, she said, "I'll eat with everyone tomorrow. I'm almost well now. Don't cook for me any more."
Jiang's mother was a little happy to hear these words. It was uncomfortable that the child had been sick these days and didn't say or pay attention to anything. The fact that he could take the initiative to say these words proved that he was beginning to recover. But was this recovery because he met Hao Yuanchao or because he broke off the engagement?
There was nothing a mother couldn't ask her daughter, so she asked, "Did you hear in the hallway that Hao Yuanchao came to break off the engagement?"
Song Shuyao paused holding the chopsticks, "I heard it when I was almost at the door."
"Then you can't just go up and slap someone. That would be too embarrassing for a man."
"I didn't want to fight, but when I saw his face, I couldn't control myself." Song Shuyao said in a light tone, as if she was talking about the weather conditions.
Jiang's mother was confused. What's the reason?
"So what are you thinking now? Breaking off the engagement with Hao Yuanchao... Forget it, forget it. He took the initiative to come to our house to break off the engagement because he was thinking about us. He doesn't need to make things difficult for us. Don't be unhappy. Four children are really a burden. As a mother, I won't cheat you. Let alone raising them for others, even raising four children by yourself is hard enough. Hao Yuanchao is not a good match right now. Love can't be eaten. If you want to live a comfortable life, you can't just consider men. You have to take care of the situation at home. You are still young..."
Jiang's mother kept on nagging and didn't want to ask Jiang Shuyao whether she was happy or unhappy. After all, marriage is a lifelong matter. Even though people now emphasize freedom of marriage, there are still many divorces. But she loves her daughter and still hopes that she can find a good man to spend her life with, so that they can grow old together and live a happy life.
Song Shuyao just listened without saying anything and ate quietly. Finally, she replied, "I understand." Then she let Jiang's mother go out to eat.
Jiang's mother thought that the children had listened to her and stopped making a fuss. The matter was over, and she felt relieved. The two children did not look heartless just now, especially her own daughter, who even hit someone. How could she say that she didn't care? But it didn't matter if she cared, she was just afraid that she would be stubborn and insist on being together. Fortunately, she listened to her, and slowly their feelings faded after they stopped contacting each other.
However, Jiang's mother didn't expect that the matter was far from over.
Not to mention another day, Hao Yuanchao came to the house again after dinner that night, this time with a big bag of food. He came and said he came to see Jiang Shuyao to see how her illness was.
Jiang's father and mother looked at each other in confusion. Isn't this a cancellation of the engagement?
Hao Yuanchao was shameless and resolutely did not mention the issue of breaking off the engagement. He insisted on coming to visit the patient. He did not smile or laugh, but looked very serious. He seemed to be able to fool people more than usual.
Unfortunately, no matter how good Jiang Shuyao was at fooling people, she didn't come out to see him.
Hao Yuanchao was not angry. Before leaving, he walked to Jiang Shuyao's door and told her that he would come to see her tomorrow. He asked her to take her medicine on time, rest early, and get better quickly.
Are you clearly planning to go back on your word?
Jiang's father and mother were worried again when they went to bed. Why couldn't they make up their minds and change their minds so easily?
The old comrade in the same dormitory was still confused. This morning he said that he would not burden the girl when she came to his house with gifts, but when he came back he was slapped in the face, and he was also asked to find the tickets for the cakes and fruits. How could he continue to come to her house?
"Aren't you reluctant to leave the girl after seeing her?"
Hao Yuanchao lay on the bed, supporting his head with his hands behind his head, a smile in his eyes, "Yes, I can't bear to leave."
