When Cheng Jingmo returned to his room after taking a shower, Yu Xiangnian was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his eyelashes trembling.
Cheng Jingmo knew she was not asleep, so he lay down and hugged her tightly, "Niannian, I'm sorry."
Yu Xiangnian did not respond.
Cheng Jingmo added, "I'll put the paper together tomorrow and copy it."
Yu Xiangnian closed his eyes and asked, "How long do you plan to stay here?"
Cheng Jingmo could hear the implication of Yu Xiangnian's words, she didn't want to stay here anymore.
Cheng Jingmo said, "Give me another two or three days, I'll finish my work, and then we'll leave."
Yu Xiangnian said: "I did nothing wrong, I will not forgive her."
She said this to give Cheng Jingmo a mental preparation that she was going to teach Zhang Hongli a lesson.
By then, the house will definitely be in chaos again.
Cheng Jingmo replied: "Yeah, I know."
Yu Xiangnian added, "I don't know why, but she's been hostile to me since the first day I came here. I can feel it."
Cheng Jingmo buried his head in her shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I shouldn't have had any hope for them."
Another room.
Cheng Huazi was still angry.
Tonight, Cheng Jingmo embarrassed him in front of his family, and he was so angry that he couldn't let it go.
Mu Huanzhen looked at Cheng Huazi, who had been squatting on the ground smoking, and scolded him, "Can't you smoke less? The room is full of smoke!"
Cheng Huazi angrily yelled back, "Shut up! If you hadn't allowed the Third Brother's wife to do this, would things have turned out like this today?"
"You got mad at me for picking up the kid, and now you're blaming me?" Mu Huanzhen said in a bad tone. "If you ask me, I should have sold him back then, and you bought him back now. It's really infuriating!"
Cheng Huazi tapped his pipe against the bedside, warning her, "Don't mention those things from the past! Are you tired of the good life?"
Mu Huanzhen said, "I call this a good life? His wife has a good life. Everything she wears and uses is good. I've been home for so long, and she hasn't even washed a bowl!"
"Jianwa has become a leader in the army. She's taking Lao Gao's salary and using it all! We should have sent Shuanchun to the army back then. We should have married her even if we didn't want to. Why should we let someone else enjoy this good life?!"
Cheng Huazi said with a headache: "I told you not to mention those things again!"
Mu Huanzhen opened and closed her mouth for a long moment before she couldn't help but say, "We picked him up and raised him. Just because of that, we're always right!"
Cheng Jingmo fetched water three times early in the morning and washed the clothes he had taken off last night.
He thought Yu Xiangnian was still sleeping, so he quietly opened the door and prepared to take the manuscript paper to copy it.
When I opened the door, I was stunned. There was no one on the bed.
He touched the bed and found that the bedding was cold. It seemed that Yu Xiangnian had gotten up early.
The first thought that popped into his mind: Yu Xiangnian left in anger!
Won't!
He comforted himself again: Yu Xiangnian would not leave without telling him.
He walked out of the room and asked Lao Wu if he had seen Yu Xiangnian.
Lao Wu said, "When you went out to fetch water, your sister-in-law went out."
Cheng Jingmo asked Xiaojie again: "Did your aunt say anything to you?"
"No." Xiao Jie was even more anxious than Cheng Jingmo, "Could it be that my aunt has already left?"
"I don't think so. I'll go out and look for it."
"I'm going too!"
Two men, one big and one small, were searching and asking questions along the way.
After asking several people, I finally found out that they saw Yu Xiangnian heading towards the village entrance.
The two rushed to the village entrance again, but still saw no one.
Another villager who saw it said, "I saw your wife go there in a carriage."
The horse-drawn carriages here usually only go to the countryside. If you want to go somewhere else, you have to hire a horse-drawn carriage.
Cheng Jingmo asked, "Is she the only one in the carriage, or are there others?"
He asked this to confirm whether Yu Xiangnian had gone to the countryside.
"There were a few women there, and I saw them chatting."
So, Yu Xiangnian went to the countryside.
There are buses from the village to the county town, and buses from the county town to Sucheng, and there are trains in Sucheng...
Besides, what if Yu Xiangnian encounters something when he goes out alone?
Thinking of this, Cheng Jingmo became really anxious.
Fortunately, today is not a market day, and there is only one carriage going to the village.
There were two carriages in the village, and the other one was idle.
After asking around, Cheng Jingmo finally found the coachman's house, hired the carriage from him, and went to the countryside.
At this time, Yu Xiangnian was sitting in the carriage and admiring the scenery along the way.
Spring here comes much later than in the south city. In the past few days, the trees have just begun to sprout and grow leaves, and the mountains on both sides of the road have become more green.
The carriage hit a big pothole and jolted violently.
Yu Xiangnian was thrown high up and fell heavily on the seat, and the wooden bench hit her butt so hard that it hurt.
Last night, she was so angry that she didn't sleep well the whole night and woke up at dawn.
The first thought she had when she woke up was that she missed her parents.
She has never suffered any injustice at home.
Whenever her brothers spoke to her a little loudly, her father would criticize them!
At home, she had the best food and clothes, but here, she doesn't even care about food or clothes anymore. How dare someone bully her?!
After getting off the carriage, the first thing Yu Xiangnian did was to go to the post office.
Today is not Sunday, and my parents have gone to work.
The last time Yu Xiangnian went to Shanghai, he called Yu Jiashun's office and wrote down the number.
This time, she called Yu Jiashun's office directly.
The phone was connected and Yu Jiashun's familiar voice was heard.
Yu Xiangnian said, "Dad, it's me."
She herself didn't notice the grievance in her tone, but Yu Jiashun, a daughter-slave, could hear it immediately.
"Nian Nian, have you been wronged?"
Yu Xiangnian naturally wouldn't say it.
She is an adult and capable of solving her own problems.
She simply missed them.
Besides, my parents are so far away that even if I tell them, they won’t be able to help, and it will only add to their worries.
"No, I just missed you guys and called you."
Yu Jiashun didn't expose her, "My family misses you too. When will you be back?"
"Still here for two or three days."
"Where is Cheng Jingmo?" Yu Jiashun asked.
"He's at home. I'll call you from the village street."
Now, Yu Jiashun was sure that Yu Xiangnian had been wronged and ran away alone.
"Be careful when you're out there alone. Don't run around. Come home after you finish your phone call!"
Even though he said this, he was cursing in his heart: Cheng Jingmo, I entrusted my daughter to you with confidence, and you can't take good care of her and let her suffer?! You just wait for me!
Yu Xiangnian chatted with Yu Jiashun for a while. Before hanging up, she asked for Zhao Ruozhu's office phone number.
She called Zhao Ruozhu again and chatted for a while.
As soon as Yu Xiangnian hung up the phone, Zhao Ruozhu dialed Yu Jiashun's office number.
