Chapter 23 [23] I’m waiting to see what happens to you
Tang Yuanyuan carried Zhang Lancao's portrait and packed up everything she could take away. The bicycle was also bought for her, so there was no reason for her to leave it to the father and son.
Without any reluctance, he picked up the sack and walked out of the yard.
Li Mu returned home, put down the sack, and immediately went to the yard to get a basin of water and went into the house to take a bath.
The train ride lasted 19 hours, and the stench inside the train nearly made him vomit.
While I was still scrubbing my body, I suddenly heard the door being kicked open.
He thought his house was being robbed.
I pushed the door open a little, and first I saw three sacks swaying gently on the ground.
Isn’t this Tang Yuanyuan’s stuff?
I hurriedly put on my wet clothes and came out, only to see Tang Yuanyuan's back, riding a 28-inch bicycle.
"Tang Yuanyuan, what do you mean?"
Neighbor Aunt Huang explained to Li Mu: "Oh, what a sin! She must have gone to the cemetery to visit her mother."
The towel in Li Mu's hand fell to his feet: "What did you say?"
Isn’t Tang Yuanyuan’s mother full of energy and selling jelly very enthusiastically?
How could it suddenly disappear?
There was a loud bang in the sky, and the clouds had turned black at some point, rolling across the sky, pressing down darkly.
It's going to rain heavily.
Going out at this time without even an umbrella, isn't Tang Yuanyuan looking for death?
What does it have to do with him?
Tang Yuanyuan is not his sister.
Li Mu turned around and went into the house. He saw the three large sacks and an extra sack filled with daily necessities. It would be unlucky if someone died and the things were still with him.
never mind.
Just because he didn't abandon me at the train station and came back alone.
Then they were even.
Li Mu locked the door with a bang, took his raincoat, and went to Tang's house.
Tang An: "She must have gone to my mother's grave."
This "she" refers to Tang Yuanyuan.
Li Mu kicked Tang An in anger and said, "What are you standing there for? Look at the clouds, it's going to rainstorm soon. Let's go and stop her. Going to the cemetery at this time is like asking for death!"
The cemetery is all mud and it is not easy to walk on it. It is best to stop the person before Tang Yuanyuan.
Tang An stood still and kicked him again.
"Your mother just died, and you want your sister to die too? No matter what, it's still a human life."
Tang An came back to his senses and pushed the broken car that was left behind out. Tang Aiguo smoked his pipe silently, neither speaking nor moving.
Li Mu: "Where's your brain, raincoat!"
Tang An got a car and went back to get his raincoat.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, raindrops as big as soybeans started pouring down on my head. The rain got heavier and heavier, and I could hardly open my eyes.
Li Mu couldn't help but curse. This woman, is she born in the Year of the Rabbit? It's only been a few minutes and there's no sign of her.
I rode for half an hour, walking on the slippery muddy road, to Zhang Lancao's grave, but didn't see anyone.
Tang An: "It doesn't look like anyone has been here. Didn't she come?"
Li Mu: "If not here, where else could he go? Did he fall along the way? Let's go and look for him. You look this way, and I'll look that way."
The two of them split up and walked from both sides, shouting, but they couldn't find anyone. When they rode their bikes back home, the person had already rolled around in the water like a chicken.
Li Mu rubbed his eyes hard to make sure that he was not blurry.
Tang Yuanyuan was sitting in the living room of his house with his legs bent and his arms around them.
Li Mu: "What are you doing in my house?"
"Also, how did you get in?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "The lock is broken."
Li Mu went to check on the yard again, and sure enough, the lock on the door was broken.
Li Mu: "Why did you break the lock of my house?"
"Also, what do you mean by squatting in my house?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I have nowhere to go, rent me half of your house."
Li Mu: "Why? It's my house, you can rent it out just like that. Who are you to me? Why are you living in my house? I'm just a young man, if outsiders say nonsense, will my reputation be ruined?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Based on what you owe me, you dare to say that on the morning of the border town, Tang Aiguo locked me and my mother up and didn't want us to get on the train. Wasn't it you who instigated it in front of Tang An?"
Li Mu was confused. "What are you talking about? Lock him up? Instigate? What did I instigate?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Stop pretending. On the morning of the 6th, my mom and I were supposed to get on the train to Border Town together. Only Tang An knew about this. It was Tang Aiguo who found out we were leaving, locked the door, took our money and train tickets, and only after my mom hit her head did I get out."
"Why are you on the same train with me? How do you know the time I'm leaving for the border town?"
"If Tang Aiguo hadn't locked me up, my mom would have gone to the border town with me, and this wouldn't have happened at all!"
Li Mu held up his wet raincoat and screamed to the sky!
"I went to the cemetery in the pouring rain to look for you, afraid you'd died there." "I never even got water for my dad."
"That's how you look at me!"
"grass!"
Li Mu turned around and rushed into the rain, forgetting even to wear a raincoat.
After a while, Tang An was pushed into the room by him angrily: "Tell your sister, did I instigate you to complain to your father?"
Tang An's hair was still wet. "No, I didn't tell Li Mu that you and mom were going to the border town. He didn't even know about it."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Was it the second uncle or the third uncle who came up with this idea? Or were they both involved?"
Tang An: "Why do you always think so badly of your family?"
"You're always like this. When something goes wrong at home, you blame this and that, but never reflect on yourself. Some of what Dad said was wrong, but some of what he said was right."
"Our family used to be so happy and harmonious, but you were the only one who insisted on arguing and made the house a mess."
"What happened to Mom was an accident. No one wanted it to happen. Dad was so heartbroken that he didn't care about anything else. Although he didn't say it, I know he felt guilty. My second and third uncles helped with the funeral arrangements. The money was paid by my second uncle. They didn't mean any harm. Can you be more broad-minded?"
“That’s enough!”
Tang Yuanyuan picked up the teacup and smashed it on Tang An's head, "Get out."
Tang An: "You are simply unreasonable."
"Dad is right. If you hadn't been so sarcastic and clamorous about wanting to study, Mom would still be sweeping the streets, and nothing would have happened."
"It's all your fault"
Before he could finish his words, Li Mu kicked Tang An outside and said, "Alright, get out of here. My house is not a place for you siblings to quarrel."
Tang Yuanyuan walked to the door and looked at Tang An in the rain through the rain curtain.
"Tang An, you have a vision."
"I am a selfish person who likes to care about things. You and I are not the same. I will always hate you and Tang Aiguo, Second Uncle and Third Uncle."
"Go and love them, and become one of their family."
"I'm waiting to see what happens to you."
"I'll wait and see. Ten, twenty years from now, when you've been schemed against and have lost everything, will you still be able to speak these words with such righteousness?"
She will no longer support Tang An's education.
She just wanted to wait and see Tang An's downfall. With no one to support his studies, could he still live as happily as in her dream?
Li Mu pinched his waist and looked at the broken porcelain bowls on the ground: "Tang Yuanyuan, this is my home. If you dare to smash anything in my house again, get out."
"Pick up the porcelain pieces."
"Let's go make dinner."
Tang Yuanyuan picked up the sack and said, "I can't cook."
Li Mu: "Do you still want me to serve you?"
Tang Yuanyuan turned around while carrying the sack: "It's natural for a woman to cook for a man, but when a man cooks for a woman, he's serving her?"
"I'll pay for the rent and the food. Don't worry about cooking."
The girl's face was full of collagen and childishness. Her voice was not loud, but it was as cold as ice and could freeze people to death.
Especially those eyes, which were filled with a crazy feeling of fighting to the death.
Li Mu, who was fearless, was actually frightened by being looked at.
I'm going to die.
He was actually stared at by a girl liar!
What is this?
"That's my room."
Seeing Tang Yuanyuan push open the second bedroom, he hurriedly said, "You live in that room."
Tang Yuanyuan carried the sack and pushed open another door. The bed had not been occupied for a long time and was a little dusty. She found a rag, brought a basin of water, and wiped it clean neatly.
Then he sat on the bed, still hugging his knees with his hands.
Forget it, considering that her mother just passed away, Li Mu decided not to bother with her for the time being.
He walked over unnaturally and coughed: "Well, don't be too sad. The dead cannot be resurrected. Please accept my condolences."
Tang Yuanyuan didn't say anything, her eyes were fixed on the window without moving.
There was a pair of scissors on the table in front of the window. Li Mu put the scissors away and said, "Ah, you are not going to be with your mother because you are depressed. If you are depressed, you can't die in my house. If you want to die, go and fight your father and your brother. You can't turn my house into a haunted house. After all, I am taking you in."
Tang Yuanyuan looked at the dark clouds in the sky and said, "Go cook."
...?
Li Mu suspected that she wanted to get rid of his depression. After all, the mother and daughter had a good relationship. He had seen how much Tang Yuanyuan protected her mother.
"You can't die in my house, I..."
"I won't die," Tang Yuanyuan said, pulling out the last piece of White Rabbit candy from her pocket and eating it. "My mom worked so hard just to allow me to study."
"From now on, I will be Zhang Lancao, and Zhang Lancao will be me. I will take her place, get into college, and live the best life possible."
"It's Tang Aiguo and the Tang family who deserve to die. I must see what happens to them."
"I'm hungry, go cook for me."
... Li Mu was so angry that he laughed. He would never cook for Tang Yuanyuan. The question returned to the previous one: "Tang Yuanyuan, you are homeless now. I took you in. I am your benefactor, right? Shouldn't you have some self-awareness and cook for yourself?"
Tang Yuanyuan had already stood up, took out her luggage from a bag, put her daily necessities on the table, opened a book and started reading.
"Then let's just wait and see. Whoever can't stand the hunger first will cook."
Li Mu was already starving, and now he couldn't resist the urge to eat, but he also had a plan.
As long as he made the meal a little unpalatable, since he was a man, how could he cook? Tang Yuanyuan was definitely not used to it, so he took over the cooking task.
From now on he will have someone to cook for him.
"Forget it. Considering that you are in a bad mood, I won't bother with you now. I will cook today's meal first." You can do the rest.
In order to prove that he was a good cook, Li Mu swept up the broken porcelain pieces and went to Aunt Huang's house next door in the rain to ask for two eggs and a handful of vegetables.
Throw them all into the pot and cook them until done, with only a little bit of salt added.
Li Mu himself found the noodles unpalatable, but Tang Yuanyuan stuffed them into her mouth in big mouthfuls.
Li Mu picked up two pieces of green vegetables and confirmed that they were very unpalatable: "Can you eat this?"
Tang Yuanyuan said nothing, silently stuffing her noodles into her stomach. After a while, she had stuffed the whole bowl of noodles into her stomach. She put down her chopsticks and said, "It's delicious. I'll continue tomorrow."
“…”
Li Mu became even hungrier, angry and hungry.
