Chapter 257 I Just Want to Go Far Away
After washing up, Wen Wan went to bed, wrapped in the quilt and leaned against the headboard, crying quietly. She didn't care about Dandan. There were so many people at home, so she could care or not.
Dandan didn't understand why the adults started arguing in such a short time. It was getting dark and he didn't feel like playing anymore. It was time for him to go to bed, so he yawned one after another.
Lu Dongping went to add water and washed his hands and face.
Zhang Hongying raised her voice and scolded Lu Chun'e bitterly: "Why did I give birth to a debt collector like you? I paid for your high school and you still want to go to college. How can you make it up to God? Did I owe you in my past life or something? You can't let me leave this textile factory. You have to come back and cause trouble for the whole family."
Lu Chun'e was furious: "What's wrong with me? Is there anything wrong with me wanting to make progress? If others can take the exam, why can't I? Why can't my sister-in-law take it? I know what you are worried about. You are worried that she will go back to the city after passing the college entrance examination and won't want my brother and the child. But if she didn't want my brother and Dandan, would she have waited until now? Does she need to wait until now to go back to the city? What does taking the college entrance examination have to do with her going back to the city? Why do you think so badly of people in your hearts? Why can't you think of people as good as you?"
Lu Chun'e was so angry she burst into tears. Her original intention was to get her books, but now everyone was going crazy, and there were no books to be found in the county town. Fortunately, she had a set at home. She also wanted to ask her sister-in-law if she wanted to take the exam, so she could have some company.
As for whether Wen Wan would abandon her brother if she passed the exam, she had never thought about it at all.
She admitted that she was not thoughtful enough in this matter, but she did not expect her mother to react so strongly. She turned hostile and said things without thinking.
Zhang Hongying couldn't argue with her, so she picked up a stick from the wall and hit her with it. Lu Donglin reached out and grabbed Zhang Hongying's hand and said, "Mom, can you please stop making such a fuss? There was nothing wrong before, but you've made such a fuss that everything has become a big deal. Are you going to break this family up by making such a fuss?"
It took Lu Donglin a long time to react, and after that he knew what to do.
His mother might have been stimulated by the educated youth in the team in recent days, and her brain is not working well. This is what was said before. The exam is still a few months away. Why is she so excited?
He thought about the situation and thought that his sister-in-law's original five-point opinion had now become ten-point.
To be honest, he didn't think his sister-in-law would return to the city. If she wanted to go back, she would have gone back a long time ago. There was no need to wait until now. He didn't know what she was thinking. After all the fuss, there was no way to ask her.
Of course, this was just his idea. If his sister-in-law wanted to go back to the city, he would not make a fuss, as it would only have a counterproductive effect.
Zhang Hongying never expected this. Being held by him, she had no place to vent her anger and her voice became even louder.
"I'm making a fuss, what am I making a fuss about? Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what she said? She can give the child whatever surname she wants. She wants to give my Lu family's child someone else's surname. How shameless..."
A loud bang interrupted her voice, and Lu Dongping slammed the wooden basin in his hand to the ground. "How long will this fuss last? It's never going to end, is it?"
There was silence outside for a moment, and then there was the sound of Dandan crying, as if he was frightened.
Zhang Hongying's voice followed: "I'm making a fuss, what am I making a fuss about? We're all in a good place, why would I want to cause trouble? You two are both so powerful, so powerful, did a ghost touch your head or something? I've introduced so many people to you in the whole village, but you like good-looking ones, you like cultured ones, and you insist on finding some awful thing, worshipping them like ancestors and not doing anything good..."
"Mom!" Lu Donglin angrily reached out to cover her mouth and pushed her into the house. Zhang Hongying was not afraid of him and slapped her.
Lu Donglin had no idea that she could be so crazy. He didn't react at all and the slap landed squarely on his face, causing a burning sensation.
He let go and called out to Lu Mingjiang, "Dad, do you still care about your wife? If you want this family to break up, just continue to watch the fun from the sidelines!"
Through the window, Wen Wan could hear everything outside clearly, and as she cried she began to want to laugh.
She knew what mountain people were like. She had always thought she was lucky, that the Lu family she met was different from other families. Now she finally understood. There was nothing different. They were all the same at heart.
The Lu family did not welcome her as much as she thought, but Lu Dongping liked her, so she had to like him.
They are really wronged.
The door creaked open, and she reached out to wipe the tears from her face, shrank down, wrapped the quilt around herself, and curled up against the wall.
Dandan yawned and called for his mother. She almost wanted to turn around and hug him, but in the end she restrained herself and did not move.
Lu Dongping took off his own clothes first before taking off Dandan's.
Dandan always slept against the wall before.
This time the place was occupied by Wen Wan, who made it clear that she didn't want to bother with Lu Dongping.
Lu Dongping pursed his lips, carried Dandan to the bed, and placed him on the edge of the bed.
When the light in the room completely disappeared, Wen Wan realized that someone had hugged her from behind.
She was so angry that she kicked him. Lu Dongping didn't dodge, nor did he hold her legs together to tease her as usual. He just held her tightly and let her kick him.
Wen Wan suddenly felt so powerless.
Thinking about how he hadn't said a word before and let his mother argue with her, Wen Wan felt sad.
She left home thousands of miles away and gave up going back to the city. What was she trying to achieve?
In the end, she stopped moving. She continued to cry with her back to Lu Dongping. Lu Dongping didn't say anything either. Although he still patted her gently as before, he didn't say a word.
He didn't know what to say and was very confused.
He felt that Wen Wan would not leave, but he was also afraid, in case she wanted to leave.
She was apparently fine in the afternoon. She called his name and looked at his warm smile, which made him feel his heart melt. But in the blink of an eye, she was about to say that she was going to take the college entrance examination.
Before I could react, the commotion broke out.
Harsh words hurt people.
Before, he was somewhat confident that Wen Wan had no intention of leaving, but now he was completely unsure.
They've been married for almost five years, their balls are now this big, and they've never had a quarrel. Wen Wan's face shows whether she's happy or unhappy, and she'll act coquettishly and make trouble with him. This is the first time she's resisting and ignoring him like this.
He didn't know how long it took, but when he felt that the person had stopped crying and his breathing had become regular, and that he was really asleep, he carefully pulled the person over and held her in his arms.
He didn't know what to do. If Wen Wan wanted to go back, should he let her go?
If he doesn't let go, there will be no peace and she won't be happy, but he doesn't want to let go and he can't do it.
It was already very late at night, but he still couldn't sleep. Under the cover of darkness, his eyes were red.
He didn't know when he fell asleep because he was so sleepy. He woke up when he heard some noise outside. His arms were empty. He was suddenly startled and woke up completely. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Wan sitting up and putting on her clothes.
“Wanwan!”
He shouted.
Wen Wan paused slightly, but ignored him. She got dressed, got out of bed and washed up quietly. After that, she opened the wardrobe and packed two sets of clothes, one for her and one for Dandan.
Dandan was still sleeping. She took a blanket, wrapped the child in it, and tied the child up with a sling that had not been used for a long time.
She didn't speak to Lu Dongping from beginning to end, and didn't want to say a word.
She must take the college entrance examination.
She is a person who always responds to soft words rather than harsh ones, and is easy to talk to and negotiate with. If anyone tries to confront her in a tough way, she would rather die in glory than live in disgrace!
Lu Dongping just stood there watching her clean up and wrap her balls.
After a while, he came forward and hugged her from behind: "Stop making trouble, okay? Isn't it good like this now? If you think our family is still too poor, I will work harder."
Wen Wan leaned against him, closed her eyes, and it took her a long time to sort out the anger in her heart.
"Lu Dongping! I always thought you understood me, but now I understand. You don't. We've been together for so many years, and we don't even have the most basic trust. Your family's kindness to me is based on you, and your kindness to me is based on my unwavering commitment to staying here. If I even hint at the possibility of leaving, your love and kindness will dissipate at any moment."
"Before, no matter what the situation, you would always stand by me unconditionally, but this time, you didn't even ask me a question, and you tacitly allowed your mother to point at my nose and scold me and fight with me."
"Lu Dongping, putting aside your parents' true attitude towards me, if you had asked me a question yesterday like you did before, had helped me speak up, and hadn't left me alone arguing with your mother, I wouldn't have been so sad."
"I'm so far away from home, who can I rely on except you?"
After she finished speaking, her hands moved more and more skillfully. Lu Dongping's lips trembled several times but he couldn't speak. He could only watch her pack up, put Dandan on her back, and hang the backpack on her chest. It was just like the first time they met that year when she jumped off the tractor and carried the load forward.
Zhang Hongying was waiting for them to get up so that she could carry Dandan to the field. When she opened the door, she was instantly furious when she saw Wen Wan coming out with the child on her back and a bag hanging on her shoulder.
He reached out to grab Dandan: "What do you mean, where are you taking him?"
Wen Wan was carrying her child and a bag on her back, so she wasn't very agile and couldn't dodge, so she was grabbed by her.
Before he could say anything, Lu Dongping came out of the house: "Let go!"
Zhang Hongying stared at Wen Wan intently: "You heartless woman, where are you taking my grandson?"
Lu Dongping walked over and stretched out his hand to pull her away: "I told you to let go, didn't you hear? She can take her own child wherever she wants, let her go!"
Zhang Hongying was dragged by him and couldn't break free. She burst into tears immediately: "Lu Dongping, you little beast, you don't want your mother anymore after you got a wife. Who am I doing this for? You have no conscience..."
Wen Wan glanced at them, turned around and walked out of the yard.
She felt that the sound was extremely harsh, and she just wanted to go far away, the farther the better, and never want to hear it again.
