Chapter 43: Ruthless Shi Meilan, Mother, and Child
Wang Yulian and Lin Xinran opened their mouths but ultimately said nothing.
Her spirit was worn out. Her life never lifted her up at all, but only kept pulling her down. In such an environment, she began to fear leaving.
People are always like this. Even if the environment around them has become a quagmire, as long as there is a roof over their heads, they will not want to leave.
Once you leave, not even the last piece of tile will be left!
These older people have suffered enough and have begun to become complacent. They don't have the courage to follow the old paths outside and can only repeat the path they have taken.
When they experience the hardships they have experienced in the past, they will feel a sense of security.
Yes, that's it, everyone is like this, and that's fine - they would rather continue like this.
But Lin Xinran is not like that. She is still young and has an unfading youthful spirit. She has a pair of eyes that have not been contaminated by the world and can clearly see through the nature of the law of the jungle in this small mountain village and the cold hearts of the Li family, so she hopes to take her mother away from here.
Of course, she could leave on her own. She had no sense of belonging to the Li family. She had her own job and knew how to stand firm, but she could not abandon her mother.
She left the quagmire on her own, but she didn't really leave. Her heart was with Wang Yulian, so even if Wang Yulian no longer loved her as much as before and treated her as the only one.
A mother's love will sometimes be shared with others. Wang Yulian will begin to shift her focus to loving Li Jianye, spending money on Li Tianci, and pleasing Zhao Erjie. However, a daughter's love is difficult to share with others. No matter how many children a mother has, the children only have one mother.
The emotions between mother and daughter are so complicated, so difficult to understand, and so delicate that even a gust of wind can blow them off balance, but they are also so strong that no matter what they go through, they will always stand by each other and wait.
The fatherly love between men is very understandable and can almost be completely divided by "strong and weak". The strong one is the father, the dominant one, and the weak one is the son, who can only be obedient. There is no other way to say it. But the motherly love between women is different. The words strong and weak will not affect the relationship between them. No matter how strong a daughter is, she will beg her mother.
Lin Xinran only loved her mother from beginning to end, so if Wang Yulian didn't leave, Lin Xinran couldn't leave either.
So Wang Yulian didn't say anything, and Lin Xinran could only remain silent.
The mother and daughter spent a sleepless night.
Lin Xinran was just upset about her mother's suffering, sympathizing with her misfortune and hating her for not fighting back, but Wang Yulian was confused, feeling wronged and sad for herself. She wanted to leave but couldn't bear to leave, and couldn't make up her mind. In addition to these, Wang Yulian remembered Shi Meilan, whom she accidentally saw when she was beaten before.
She vaguely guessed that this matter was related to Shi Meilan. Shi Meilan was never one to suffer losses. She was just smarter, more tolerant, and more manipulative, always letting others stand up for her.
Now that she has fallen into this situation, Shi Meilan should be very happy, right?
When people are in trouble, they can't help but find someone to blame, but Wang Yulian was picky and refused to blame this one or that one, and finally blamed Shi Meilan.
Wang Yulian couldn't help but wonder, what was Shi Meilan doing?
——
Shi Meilan was drinking with Hu Chengjun.
Wang Yulian had let out all her anger today, and the stone that had been pressing on Shi Meilan's heart for so long finally fell off. After she let out the anger, everything seemed to go well for her, and she even liked Hu Chengjun.
They returned to the mutton restaurant and started drinking with Hu Honghua. Hu Honghua was a child and had never tasted such things before. After one glass of wine, she felt dizzy and fell down. She groped her way back to the second floor to sleep.
There are three rooms on the second floor, and Hu Chengjun also installed a small bedroom for Hu Honghua. Although Hu Chengjun is rough and not very good at taking care of children, he is willing to take responsibility. No matter where he goes over the years, as long as he has a meal to eat, Hu Honghua will not starve to death. As long as he has a place to live, he will definitely build a home for Hu Honghua.
It was already getting dark and all the guests had left. Hu Chengjun knew that he and Shi Meilan wanted to drink for a while, so he asked the waiters and kitchen staff to leave as well. Once Hu Honghua left, only Shi Meilan and Hu Chengjun were left there.
Both Shi Meilan and Hu Chengjun were good at drinking. After drinking one cup after another, Shi Meilan got a little drunk.
The smell of alcohol rolled in her chest, burning up another impulse, even making her blood warmer.
She is far away from that old land, and those annoying things are also far away from her. Now, she wants a new life and a new future.
Whether to get married again - this is not certain. She has already entered into marriage once and is not considering entering into a second marriage. She does not want to be trapped, but she wants to taste the good taste.
Well, everyone has moments of greed, no matter whether they are men or women, when hormones are running high, they will be tempted to do something.
She squinted her eyes and supported her chin as she looked at Hu Chengjun.
She even saw Hu Chengjun twice.
Hu Chengjun was also honest. When she looked at him, he didn't move and just sat there letting her look at him. However, Hu Chengjun was honest, but Shi Meilan was not. As they looked at each other, Shi Meilan reached out and touched his face.
It is not known whether Shi Meilan was really drunk or was using the excuse of being drunk to act like a hooligan, but Hu Chengjun did not move.
Hu Chengjun's face was rough, and there was stubble on his chin - men's stubble seemed to grow very fast. He was still clean and refreshing during the day, but at night, sharp stubble appeared on his chin, and it felt quite strange to pinch it.
Shi Meilan started by touching her face, but as she touched, her hand gradually moved down.
Below the face was a slightly thick neck with blue veins and a Adam's apple on it. When Shi Meilan ran her fingers across it, she could feel the Adam's apple swallowing up and down.
The touch of the blue veins was also very interesting, like a small river flowing beneath her fat skin through a layer of flesh. She pressed it gently and heard Hu Chengjun swallow his Adam's apple dryly.
For the first time, Shi Meilan realized that the sound of people swallowing their Adam's apples could be so loud that it could almost be heard clearly in the quiet mutton restaurant.
The curiosity and surprise in Shi Meilan's eyes seemed too obvious, making Hu Chengjun uncomfortable. He moved his neck, trying to dodge, but in the end he didn't hide and only resisted with difficulty.
An honest person would risk his life and at most squeeze out a sentence: "Stop touching it."
Shi Meilan didn't take it seriously. What's the big deal if she touched him? This guy is so easy to take advantage of. Even if you take advantage of him, he can't do anything about it. It's free, no matter who doesn't take advantage.
She continued to touch him, her fingers sliding down from his neck and moving towards his chest.
Hu Chengjun's body was very hot, and her fingertips could be burned even through a layer of sweat shirt. When she touched his chest, she poked it and was surprised to find that it was soft!
I used to think it was hard!
Hu Chengjun was startled by her provocation and stood up to leave, saying as he stood up, "I have to get busy. You should go to bed early too."
But he couldn't shake Shi Meilan off. Shi Meilan stretched out her hand and grabbed him again.
"Take me back to my room," she said.
Hu Chengjun didn't know how he helped her up and went back to the room with her. He tried to resist a little, but it was really useless. As soon as he raised his head and took a look at Shi Meilan, all the bones in his body went weak.
The two of them fell onto the bed in a daze, rolled together in a daze, and couldn't find their place. Shi Meilan sighed, sat up, and said, "Lie down."
She has to come again.
——
The old wooden bed in the room creaked twice in the middle of the night, mixed with someone's low moans, spreading into the night.
Hu Chengjun had never had such an experience.
The old house was on fire with crackling sounds, and his head was buzzing. Many things made no sense to him. Sometimes Shi Meilan got mad at him and slapped him on the neck, and he would frown and freeze. When Shi Meilan calmed down and pulled him back, he would come over cautiously.
Sometimes Shi Meilan thought he was quite honest, but sometimes she thought he was a little too honest! The two of them tossed and turned until dawn. Hu Chengjun hugged Shi Meilan and was about to ask questions like "Are we considered married?" and "When will the wedding be held?" when Shi Meilan slapped his arm.
"Go back to your room and sleep." Shi Meilan said.
Hu Chengjun was hugging her, almost fainting with happiness. When he suddenly heard these words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.
What? Why are you so cruel?
