"Second kid, what's wrong with you?"
Liang Genfa took out a cigarette, tapped it twice on the table with the butt facing down, and picked up a match to light it. Qiu Zhen glared at him fiercely, so he had to put the cigarette to his ear.
"Dad! I'm so angry. What's going on?"
Erhua sat down next to Dahua and tried to calm the anger in his chest, but the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He asked:
"Brother, please tell me what you are thinking!"
Dahua held his head with both hands, rubbing it vigorously up and down, left and right, and then he said:
"I don't know what to do. Da Lazi definitely saved my life, and I have to repay him for that.
I thought about it over and over again, what can I give in return? What is worth more than a human life?
"You! What about Zhao Xiaojuan? Are you going to watch her marry someone else? Can you tolerate this?"
When Dahua heard that Zhao Xiaojuan was marrying someone else, he looked up helplessly, with bloodshot eyes.
"Mom and Dad, if you ask me, it's true that Da Lazi has done us a favor, but she wants Da Hua to repay the favor in this way, which is definitely not okay.
At worst, we can just send her more gifts during festivals and holidays. If anything happens in her family in the future, we will be the first to take care of it.
Also, help her find someone else to match her with."
Erhua's words made sense, Qiuhua nodded repeatedly, and Liang Genfa and Qiu Zhen also thought about it carefully.
"Will this work? Look at what Little Lazi said today, I'm afraid..."
Dahai was still unsure and spoke hesitantly and haltingly.
"Brother, my dear brother, oh my!" Erhua said, excitedly leaning forward, slapping his thighs hard with both hands, and said, "I'm really worried to death! Is this method I mentioned not working? Are you really going to pledge yourself to me?"
"Of course I don't want to. I'm afraid they won't accept what you just said."
"Oh! Who cares if they accept it or not! Brother, can you think more about yourself and Zhao Xiaojuan?
Da Lazi and the others are too domineering. If they save you, they will definitely make you marry her. This is no different from robbery.
Besides, you saved Zhao Xiaojuan and her daughter!"
Qiu Zhen listened to the second boy's words. This child has finally grown up. What he said makes sense and he knows how to protect his own people. His temper is much tougher than Dahua's.
"Dahua, I think what the second kid said is right, why don't we just do as he says."
Mom also spoke. Dahua was thinking about Xiaojuan. If he separated from her because of Dalazi, he would probably have a hard life in this life!
Seeing that Dahua still didn't say anything, Erhua's anger suddenly rose to the top of his head. He stood up angrily, pointing at Dahua and cursing:
"Liang Dahua! You're such a fucking coward! If I were Zhao Xiaojuan, I would definitely slap you twice!
If you were a man, you would go to Da Lazi tomorrow and explain everything clearly. Tell her, "Well, we'll file a separate petition, and marriage is definitely not an option!"
After saying that, Erhua went straight to his room and left a final sentence: "Liang Dahua, don't be a coward tomorrow!"
The next day, Erhua was going back to Tangli Village. Before leaving, he scolded Dahua again and said, "If you marry Dalazi, don't invite me to the wedding. I won't come!"
Dahua smiled bitterly, also laughing at himself. Erhua was still better. He was a bit decisive and had a bad temper, but he knew very well who to be nice to and who to be mean to.
After work in the evening, Zhao Xiaojuan took Dahua to the hospital as usual.
He glanced at the door of the ward and saw that Xiao Lazi was not there, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Dalazi was sleeping, so Dahua moved a stool and sat next to him, waiting slowly and thinking about what to say.
They waited until dark. If Dalazi hadn't snored from time to time, Dahua would have thought she had fainted again.
At this moment, Dahua's stomach was growling with hunger. The patient next to him was slurping noodles, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of pickled vegetables and shredded pork.
Dahua glanced at the table beside Dalazi's bed and found that someone had sent a large bag of egg cakes.
How about taking one to fill your stomach?
After thinking about it, I decided to give up. It’s never good to take other people’s things.
Finally, Dalazi stretched, blinked his eyes, saw Dahua in a daze, and immediately sat up.
"Dahua, when did you come?" Dalazi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"Not long."
The patient next to him laughed while eating and said, "You are a good liar, young man. You have been sitting here for three hours. Hey girl, you slept so soundly."
When Da Lazi heard this, she smiled shyly, thinking that he must not have eaten yet, and handed him a whole bag of egg cakes next to her.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Here, take it and eat it. It's delicious."
Dahua was very hungry at the moment and really wanted to eat something, but his heart was burning with anger, so he decided to talk about the matter first.
"I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry. I came here to tell you something important."
Dahua straightened himself and said that serious matters should be handled seriously.
"You say." Dalazi straightened the hair by her ears. Her tail was a little messy. She glanced at Dahua shyly.
"Your sister came to my house yesterday and what she said made a lot of sense." This was his opening statement.
"She went? But she didn't say anything unreasonable."
Da Lazi looked surprised, but his acting was a bit clumsy. Da Hua pretended not to see it and continued:
"I've been thinking about it all night, and I can't agree to what your sister said. First of all, I want to thank you for saving my life. I will definitely repay this favor.
But I can't give you what you want. You know that Xiaojuan is the only one in my heart.
I was originally grateful to you, but if you force us to be together, we might end up becoming enemies.”
Da Lazi's mouth was half open, his lips trembling slightly, and his face looked extremely grim. Suddenly he came to his senses and said, "How can we become enemies? No, I am confident that we can live a good life."
"Asheng, this is really not possible. Xiaojuan and I..."
"There's no chance for you and Zhao Xiaojuan!"
"I!"
Dahua stood up, his chest rising and falling, indicating that he was suppressing the anger in his heart.
Da Lazi looked up at him, tears welling up in her eyes.
People say that tears are women's weapons.
This is both right and wrong.
A woman's tears are only useful to the one who loves her. If she doesn't love him, even if she cries a hole in the sky, he will still blame her for causing natural disasters.
Dahua avoided her eyes and said, "If there's anything I can do for you in the future, just tell me. This is really not possible."
After saying that, he rushed out of the hospital.
As soon as he walked out, Dahua felt that he was no longer hungry, his heart was no longer burning, and even his legs didn't hurt. His two feet walked on the flat road, as if they were about to take off.
That night, Dalazi’s fellow patients probably won’t be able to sleep well.
As the saying goes: Some are happy while others are sad.
