Chapter 22: Quarrel and Sleep in Separate Rooms

It was drizzling, and the lead-gray hazy rain curtain enveloped pedestrians and vehicles. Lu Sui stood outside the cordon, looking at the sealed brick factory. Inside was not just a simple brick factory, but also a quarry.

The two huge and majestic mountains are rich in minerals, not to mention the minerals hidden deep underground. Even if they are mined endlessly, it will take at least 30 years for the minerals to run dry.

After the millennium, the economy boomed, and poor rural areas began to abandon their small earthen houses and, in response to the policy of building new rural areas, built small Western-style buildings one after another, imitating the city. Brick factories and quarries would become a huge piece of fat meat...

The location of the brick factory is also very advantageous. It is located between five villages and is a central location. The largest village is Yunwu Village. One thousand meters ahead is Fenghuang Town. It has the right time, place and people. The former mayor's brother-in-law also saw this point. It's a pity that it was finally opened after more than half a year of construction, but it was closed within a week...

Lu Sui had heard that the brick factory was going through the legal auction process, but for some reason, the documents had been kept in the county. Under the rain, Lu Sui's face was gloomy, his eyebrows were gloomy, and he was more ambitious. If he could get this piece of fat meat...

The roads in Yunwu Village are very bad, and they are even worse when it rains. The van that had just been washed yesterday was covered with mud spots of all sizes after a short while. When we turned a corner, someone waved to Lu Sui, but the windows were covered with mist and we couldn't see the person. It was only when the car stopped that we could see clearly that it was Liu Mei.

"Brother Sui... I sprained my ankle. Can I take your car back?" She stood on tiptoe, holding a wooden stick in her hand. The edge of her white skirt was covered with disgusting mud, and she looked very vicious.

It was getting dark and it was raining, Lu Sui couldn't bear it, so he agreed, opened the car door, got out, walked around to the other side and opened the door. Liu Mei was seriously injured, her ankle was swollen, and her face turned pale after walking such a short distance. When she got in the car, she lost her balance and fell on Lu Sui's shoulder.

"Brother Sui... I'm sorry..." Lu Sui had a sullen face, as cold and hard as a knife. In order to make things quick, he directly carried her up. Liu Mei blushed, "Thank you..." Lu Sui got back into the car, closed the door, fastened his seat belt, and glanced at her, "The seat belt is not fastened..."

"Oh!" Liu Mei hurriedly pulled the seat belt, fastened it and held it tightly, licking her wet lips. Her breath was filled with the strong and pleasant smell of men, and her heart was beating like thunder...

Lu Sui was watching the road the whole time. When he was about to reach Yunwu Village, he was in a dilemma. Should he let Liu Mei get off at the entrance of the village, or send her to her home? He was in a dilemma. He thought that Liu Mei was a girl and there were many hooligans in Yunwu Village. What if something happened...

He stepped on the accelerator and sent her to the door of her home. When Liu Mei's father saw Lu Sui, he was horrified at first, and then he forced a smile, "Thank you, Suizi, sit down and have dinner before going back!"

"Brother Sui, eat before you leave..." Liu Mei was supported by her father and wanted to take two steps forward to keep Lu Sui.

"No!" Lu Sui closed the car door, started the engine and drove away. From a distance, he saw Liang Jingxuan waiting at the door with eager eyes. When he saw the van, he ran back into the house. When the van arrived at the door, he ran out again.

"Husband!... I'm not waiting on the road, I'm waiting in the house..." These days he was either running to the town or the county. Liang Jingxuan didn't watch TV anymore, and didn't look for Erhu anymore. She just waited for him at the door.

There were many cars and people passing by, and Lu Sui did not allow him to wait at the door. He agreed every time, but he never listened, and was stubborn and obstinate.

Lu Sui got out of the car, holding a bag of White Rabbit candy in his hand, "Hubby!..." Liang Jingxuan trotted to him and hugged his waist tightly, "Hubby, I miss you so much..."

The voice was soft and sticky. Lu Suixin felt hot and pinched his face. It didn't take much to make it turn red. Liang Jingxuan didn't dodge, but just squinted his lips. Then, his palm-sized face suddenly turned pale!

I pushed him away with all my strength and knocked the White Rabbit candy out of his hand. With a "bang", the White Rabbit candy scattered all over the floor.

"Your fucking hands are itchy, aren't they?!" Liang Jingxuan said nothing, tilting his head back and staring at Lu Sui, as if he had lost his soul.

"You..." Before Lu Sui could finish his words, Liang Jingxuan pouted, stepped on the White Rabbit candy on the ground, turned around and ran away.

"Liang Jingxuan! Liang Jingxuan!" No matter how Lu Sui called him, Liang Jingxuan did not turn around.

He ran back into the house, slammed the door, and bolted it.

Lu Sui looked at the White Rabbit candies scattered all over the floor and then at the closed door, feeling very confused...

Song Huizi finally opened the door. Liang Jingxuan hid in the kitchen, squatting in front of the stove, motionless. Song Huizi asked him but he didn't say anything. When it was time to eat, he still didn't say anything, as if he was dumb and didn't look at Lu Sui. He held the rice but didn't pick up any vegetables. He just ate the white rice. Song Huizi picked up some for him and he ate it.

Lu Sui had no idea what to do, but he wanted to ease the tense atmosphere, so he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Liang Jingxuan's bowl. Liang Jingxuan took the braised pork out like a madman and threw it on the ground.

"Xuanbao...you can't waste food even if you vomit!" The army had never been cruel to him before. This was the first time. Liang Jingxuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and boiling tears rolled in his eyes. He put the bowl and chopsticks on the round table and ran to the backyard like a mouse.

"Xuan Bao!" Song Huizi glanced at Lu Jun, "It's just a piece of meat, it's not like you're so poor that you can't afford it!" Lu Jun didn't expect this to happen, "I just pretended to be mean to him, I didn't really mean to be mean to him..."

Song Huizi put down the bowl and went to the backyard. Liang Jingxuan was squatting next to the pig pen with his knees hugged. There was no expression on his face, but tears kept falling, just like the first day he arrived. "Xuanbao..."

"Aunt... I'm sorry... I'm not as obedient as him..." Liang Jingxuan was stupid, but he vaguely knew a lot of things. He looked very much like their child who died in infancy. Aunt Zhang once said that Xiaoyu's grandmother had buried the child who died in infancy.

Song Huizi carefully held him in her arms, "No, you are all my children..."

Liang Jingxuan hugged her tightly and cried softly, "Don't sell me..."

“Not for sale!”

"Not for sale..."

It was dark. Liang Jingxuan seemed to be better, but also not better. He treated Lu Jun and Song Huizi the same as before, except for Lu Sui. Lu Sui was confused. Apart from buying him White Rabbit milk candy and spicy strips, she didn't know how to coax him.

After taking a shower, he entered the room. The cool mat that was originally placed on the cabinet was spread on the floor. Liang Jingxuan wrapped himself in a small blanket and curled up on his side, like a crooked mushroom. Lu Sui sat on the bed and said coldly, "The floor is cold, come up and sleep."

Liang Jingxuan clasped his hands together and huddled into the blanket.

Lu Sui felt very aggrieved, so he went over and grabbed Liang Jingxuan's arm. Liang Jingxuan struggled, which was unusual. Instead of the soft rejection she gave before, she kicked her legs like crazy and screamed shrilly, "You stink!... Go away!!! You stink... You stink!!!"

Lu Sui's brows were tightly knitted together. He had never been treated so badly before.

"Liang Jingxuan!"

He had been a soldier, so he was very good at dealing with rookies. If he yelled like that, anyone would be shaken and their legs would go weak and they wouldn't be able to stand.

Liang Jingxuan looked like a fool, with his eyes wide open.

Hearing the sound, the Army knocked on the door in a hurry, "What are you yelling about?!"

"What did Xuanbao do to you? Did he hit you?!" The tone of his voice was very different. Lu Sui was a former soldier, and the army was afraid that if he got angry, he would really hit Liang Jingxuan. It would be ok to just spank him, but if he hurt other parts of his body, he would fight him to the death!

Liang Jingxuan took the opportunity to bite Lu Sui, "Hiss!" Lu Sui let go, and Liang Jingxuan kicked him hard again, then ran away holding the small blanket.

He ran out of the door in a flash and hid in Lu Jun and Song Huizi's room.

Lu Sui stared at the man who had disappeared, wishing he could rush up to him, tear him into pieces, and eat him bite by bite. Seeing that he looked like he was going to kill someone, Lu Jun slapped him in anger, "How the hell did you provoke Xuan Bao? It would have been fine if you just provoked him, but you even hit him. Who gave you the guts? I'm the head of this family!"

Lu Sui's eyes turned red. He wanted to know more than Lu Jun Song Huizi, how he had offended Liang Jingxuan, why Liang Jingxuan tortured him, annoyed him, ignored him... "Go to sleep, don't worry about it, your aunt and I will coax him, he will sleep with us tonight!"

The Army's words were like a heavy hammer hitting him, causing him to feel pain all over his body.

My vision went dark for a while...

That night, Liang Jingxuan really didn't come back.

Lu Sui didn't sleep all night and stayed awake until dawn.

The next day, Lu Sui got up at daybreak and chopped the firewood for the day. He chopped piles of bricks and was sweating profusely when he finished. When he turned around, he saw Liang Jingxuan standing on the doorstep. He didn't know how long he had been standing there. He lifted his clothes to wipe the sweat off his head. Just as he was about to speak, Liang Jingxuan ran away again, like a mouse, and he couldn't even see the shadow of his tail.

Lu Sui took off his clothes angrily and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower, he went to the convenience store. When he met people on the way, he pretended not to see them. Those who wanted to say hello to him saw that he had a sullen face, so they didn't dare to go up and provoke him, so as not to make themselves embarrassed.

When they got to the canteen, they bought all the spicy noodles that Liang Jingxuan often ate, and also bought two boxes of Jinwei. Ma Qiu asked him if he bought it for Liang Jingxuan, and he said yes, and recommended him some imported white chocolate, but it was very expensive. Lu Sui didn't hesitate and bought all of it.

Lu Sui returned home carrying a big bag of spicy strips and two boxes of Jinwei. He looked around and found Liang Jingxuan was not there. He asked Song Huizi and found out that he had gone to Erhu's house next door.

He went to Erhu's house again. In the messy living room, Liang Jingxuan was squatting on the floor with a blackboard in his hand. Erhu stood beside him, teaching him how to write. His hands were shaking and his handwriting was ugly, like a crawling caterpillar.

Erhu wiped it off in disgust. Liang Jingxuan pouted and said, "I think it looks pretty..."

Erhu held his hand and wrote a very ugly Lu. "What about Sui?" Liang Jingxuan asked Erhu with his head tilted.

Erhu scratched his head and said, "Our teacher hasn't taught us yet..."

"Then teach me how to write husband!" Liang Jingxuan handed over the small blackboard.

The huge black shadow was like a thorn in the flesh. Erhu raised his head fiercely, "No need to teach! Your husband is here..."
