Chapter 57 She Loves Me

Chen Yilon sat for a while and then left Huo Jianguo's yard.

After everyone left, Su Mei picked out some food from the food that others had sent and walked towards Aunt Wang's house. She said to Huo Jianguo:

"Auntie Wang has prepared the meal. It would be bad if we don't go to eat. Why don't we bring some food to her and exchange it for value? This way, it won't be considered free food."

"Okay, you go first, I'll come later." Huo Jianguo said as he was about to get up from the bed.

Su Mei stopped him:

"You'd better lie down. I'll bring you back after I finish eating. Although you haven't hurt any bones, the wound is pretty serious. If you keep moving around, the wound will easily split and bleed."

"Oh, okay." Huo Jianguo heard this and lay back down obediently.

He had suffered more serious injuries before, but he always gritted his teeth and endured it, and was unwilling to tell others that he was injured.

He usually takes care of such minor injuries by himself and goes to work as usual the next day.

This is the first time that I have been taken care of so attentively. It really feels good to have someone who cares about me.

He watched Su Mei walk out the door, and without him even knowing it, countless longings emerged in his eyes.

Aunt Wang next door had been waiting for Su Mei and Huo Jianguo to come over for dinner. When she heard footsteps in the yard, she immediately went out to greet them. After seeing what Su Mei was holding, her face immediately turned grim:

"Su Mei, what are you doing with all these bags?"

"Auntie Wang, we have troubled you a lot during this period. This situation is not easy for everyone. We can't always eat and drink for free here." Su Mei said as she was about to go into the house.

But Aunt Wang stopped him at the door: "No, I don't want these things. Take them back first, or I won't let you in."

"If you don't let me in, I won't come back!" Su Mei said as she was about to go back.

Aunt Wang became anxious upon seeing this and hurriedly chased after him:

"Oh, Su Mei, you have helped us so much, and we have no way to repay you. Now you want to take your things? Isn't this a slap in the face of an old woman like me?"

"Auntie, either you take the things and I'll go in to eat, or I'll take the things back." Su Mei didn't want to take advantage of Auntie Wang, so she told Auntie Wang:

"Huo Jianguo has already agreed with the chief that he will open a clinic in our yard in the future.

I'm so busy now, I don't know if I'll need to trouble you with many things in the future. If you don't want to accept my things, how can I trouble you?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Aunt Wang felt that even if Su Mei wanted her life, she would be willing to give it to her because Su Mei saved her son's life.

The two of them were in a stalemate in the yard. Aunt Wang neither wanted to accept the things nor let Su Mei leave. She reached out to take the things in her hand and give them back to her.

Finally, Su Mei had no choice but to change her words to make Aunt Wang accept her:

"Auntie Wang, could you please stop making things difficult for me? Don't you know that my husband, Mr. Huo, is annoyed by my eating and drinking for free outside? If you don't accept this, Mr. Huo will find out and accuse me of being lazy and greedy.

Our relationship has finally eased a little. If anything goes wrong again, he will definitely chase me away. I have worked so hard to change myself, just to avoid being chased away by Huo Jianguo!

Please be kind enough to accept it. Otherwise, if he gets angry and doesn't want me anymore, I will be back to the days before liberation, and all my efforts for so long will be in vain."

"If I...don't accept these things, Teacher Huo won't want you anymore?" Aunt Wang looked at Su Mei hesitantly for several times.

Seeing that this talk was effective, Su Mei said even more pitifully: "Yes, so Aunt Wang, you should accept it. Otherwise, if he really doesn't want me anymore, I won't be able to survive."

"I'll take it, I'll take it, don't feel bad." Aunt Wang took the thing from Su Mei's hand with some doubt:

"Then hurry up and eat. I made steamed buns and fried some vegetables this morning. You can put the vegetables in the middle of the buns and eat them. They are so delicious!"

"Okay." Su Mei nodded, then turned around and went into Aunt Wang's house.

After successfully delivering the gift, Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She was not used to owing others, and she was unwilling to confuse interpersonal relationships with economy and interests.

No matter how good the relationship between people is, we must settle the accounts clearly. Only by distinguishing between you and me can we truly maintain a relationship in the long run.

Aunt Wang's family ate on the kang. When Su Mei went in, there was no one in the room. Perhaps Xie Li had already eaten and returned to the room next door where Li Yuan was sleeping.

There was a table on the kang, and on the table was a porcelain bowl filled with white steamed buns.

The stir-fried pork, red pepper and meat in the dish are stir-fried together, and it tastes especially good when put in a steamed bun.

........

Next door, Huo Jianguo leaned against the corner of the house for a long time and couldn't calm down.

He got up to go to the toilet, but he accidentally heard what Su Mei said to Aunt Wang. She said she was afraid of being driven away by him.

Sure enough, she underwent such a drastic change because of him.

How much must she love him to completely transform herself from one person into another? It really shocked him.

She still insisted that she wanted a divorce. No wonder they say women's hearts are like needles in the sea.......

How could he have the heart to drive a woman away when she was willing to make such a big change for him? He was not a heartless person.

In the past few years, he never knew that she liked him to this extent.

He had asked her before why she had to marry him, and her answer was:

"You are good-looking, have a formal job, a high salary, and your family conditions are also good. Which woman would not want to marry you?"

At that time, she gave many reasons for marrying him, but the only thing she never said was that she liked him.

Maybe she didn't know what love was before, until he proposed divorce and she found that she couldn't leave him. Then she became completely panicked and realized how important he was in her heart.

So, she began to change herself......

Her sudden transformation indeed brought him many surprises.

After leaning against the wall for a long time and thinking over Su Mei's words several times in his heart, Huo Jianguo walked towards the toilet in the backyard with a smile on his face.

[This is not bad, she is happy with me. ]
