Chapter 24 [24] She betrayed her teacher and ancestors, and even kidnapped her father and brother...
Li Mu felt that if this continued, Tang Yuanyuan would not be able to take on the job of cooking.
We still have to change our strategy.
If the hard approach doesn’t work, then try the soft approach.
So he took the initiative to clean up the dishes and then took the initiative to care about Tang Yuanyuan.
"I was wrong just now."
"Your mother just passed away. You must be feeling bad."
"Your mother is such a good person. She cooks delicious food and treats you well. It's a pity that you have such bad luck and have encountered such misfortune."
"I know you're reading and writing right now because you're afraid to accept reality. You probably can't concentrate on reading, but you're just forcing yourself to stay busy so you don't have to face the fact that your mother has passed away."
"If you feel bad, just cry."
luck?
Tang Yuanyuan didn't think it was luck, but Tang Aiguo's selfishness that killed her mother.
If you hurt someone, you must pay it back.
She did not accept the charges brought against her by the Tang family, and was eager to see what would happen to the father and son.
Li Mu opened up his mouth and his thoughts opened up as he said, "You can live here peacefully. I won't leave you homeless."
Tang Yuanyuan put the pen in the gap between the books with a "pop".
"Li Mu, do you think I should burst into tears right now, then fall asleep under your comfort? That when I wake up, I'll find you're quite nice, develop a liking for you, and take the initiative to cook for you and take care of your meals? That I should work like a slave for you?"
...How does this girl know his plan?
I just want her to take on the cooking task, so why is she treated like a slave? That's too much.
Li Mu would never admit his purpose.
"Is that how much you think of me? You're really just a dog biting Lu Dongbin."
"It's raining heavily, and I even dragged your brother to look for you at your mother's grave."
"I'm an orphan too. I know what it feels like to lose your parents. I feel so sad and like I've been abandoned by the world. There's no one who cares about me anymore. I just want to comfort you and give you some warmth."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I don't need your comfort."
"Because I'm not pitiful at all."
The truly pitiful one is her mother.
"I have the best mother in the world. She loves me and does her best to support me and give me a good life."
"I feel happy that it's her child."
"She's not with me now, it doesn't matter, I will take care of myself for her."
"I'm still a happy child."
"A happy child doesn't need your pity."
"Put away your concern and use it yourself."
Li Mu rubbed his chin unnaturally: "It's wrong to care about you."
"Okay, okay, if you treat me like a little master, I'm happy to care about you."
"cut."
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
It’s Zhao Dong.
Holding a piece of pork belly in his hand, it was raining outside, and Li Mu welcomed the person into the living room.
Zhao Dong saw Tang Yuanyuan and asked, "You, what are you doing here?"
Li Mu leaned over and lowered his voice, "It's not that she's betraying her teacher and ancestors, but she kidnapped her father and brother. She had nowhere else to go, so she forcibly occupied my house."
"I'm embarrassed to kick someone out after eating the food her mother cooked."
Zhao Dong had also heard some things about the Tang family, but as an outsider, he couldn't say anything.
What a poor child too.
"I heard from Aunt Huang that you went to Ningcheng? Aren't you selling jelly? Why did you run so far? Did everything go well?"
Li Mu: "It's okay, but I didn't sleep for 19 hours. I suffered a little. I encountered some scammers, got into a fight, and got beaten up. Fortunately, the money you gave me didn't lose it. I spent it all and bought these clothes. I hope I can sell them."
Zhao Dong felt distressed after hearing this and examined Li Mu from head to toe. "What's the big deal about money, kid? If it's lost, it's lost. I'll find a way for you. Your father died trying to save me. I owe your family my life. You are my biological son, and I will definitely take care of you."
"Why are you going so far away? Don't go. I can support you until you graduate from college."
Li Mu: "I'm going. Uncle has taken care of me a lot in the past. I can't spend your money anymore. When I earn enough to go to No. 1 Middle School, I will pay you back. If I can earn more, you can also pay me back the money you gave me in the past two years to avoid Shunzi's complaints. No matter what, I can't let you two become a different kind of father and son. That would be my fault."
"Uncle, take this piece of meat back too."
Shunzi is Zhao Dong’s biological son, Zhao Shun.
Zhao Dong stood up in an instant: "That brat is talking nonsense in front of you again? Don't pay attention to him. He's a scoundrel. If it weren't for your dad, he would be a fatherless child."
"What happened to you? I took care of you for your dad. This is what I should do."
"Don't be estranged from me because of this. I'll go back and teach this kid a lesson."
Li Mu: "Uncle Zhao, don't think too much. Shunzi didn't say anything about me."
"I think so myself. It has nothing to do with Shunzi or Auntie. Before the last high school entrance exam, you gave me money, and Auntie even made dumplings, packed them in a box, and ran to school to give them to me. Auntie and Dongzi are both very kind to me."
When Zhao Dong heard this, he became even more furious.
Before the high school entrance examination, I thought it was a big deal, so I gave Li Mu 20 yuan to let him take good care of himself. After returning home, Shunzi also wanted money, saying that he wanted to give a gift to his girlfriend. He said that he gave the money to Li Mu, but his son was not happy. The father and son had a big fight, and his wife also blamed him and had a big fight with him.
How could it be possible that he was sending dumplings to Li Mu?
It would be better for him to ask Li Mu for money. This has happened before. He subsidized Li Mu, and Shunzi came to Li Mu to ask for money again.
This rebellious son!
"Don't hide it for them. You think for them, but they don't think for you."
As he spoke, Zhao Dong emptied all four of his pockets and pulled out two Great Unity banknotes worth a few one-yuan and two-yuan notes. "Here, kid, I'll go back and teach this brat a lesson."
Li Mu: "Uncle Zhao, I really can't take your money."
"Uncle Zhao, there's still some meat. Take it back and feed Dongzi."
Zhao Dong walked into the rain without even a raincoat: "I cut the meat specially for you, you can keep it and eat it."
Li Mu put the money in his pocket and said, "Uncle Zhao, please don't get into a conflict with Aunt Shunzi."
Zhao Dong behind him probably couldn't hear anymore and disappeared in the rain.
Zhao Dong's yard was only two houses away from Li Mu's. The sound of rain could not drown out the chaos in Zhao's house. It seemed that Zhao Shun had been beaten and Zhao's mother was crying.
Li Mu leaned against the door with his arms folded, looking towards the direction of the Zhao family's yard, with a smile on the corner of his lips. It seemed that he was not listening to people quarreling, but listening to beautiful music.
It turns out that this is how Li Mu asked for money every time.
This is the same method used to deal with Tang An, right?
It is probably true that Zhao Shun and his mother are mean to Li Mu, and it is also true that Li Mu used Zhao Dong to deal with the mother and son.
I just don't know which side started it first.
Tang Yuanyuan and Zhao Shun were just acquaintances, and they didn't know each other well, but he knew Li Mu's character, and he knew that he was definitely not a good person.
But no matter what, Zhao Dong is actually really good to Li Mu.
I just searched through my four pockets and took out all the 20-cent and 50-cent bills from the last pocket.
Is it really worth it for someone like Li Mu?
Tang Yuanyuan felt a little sorry for Zhao Dong.
Zhou Wei knocked on the gate, still dripping with moisture, and saw Tang Yuanyuan. Before she could say anything, her eyes were wet: "Yuanyuan."
Tang Yuanyuan knew that Zhou Wei was currently on the day shift, so she came over right after work. "I'm fine."
Zhou Wei: "I went to see my aunt for the last time. She was not in pain, but smiling. This is something from her body. I thought you might want it, so I didn't burn it for them."
It was a notebook Tang Yuanyuan had bound with white lotus paper and had grid patterns drawn with lines. She had drawn it for her mother the night before she went to the border town.
And a pencil.
Originally, they were put into sacks. Her mother had almost no time to sit down at home. Instead, she could stop and practice calligraphy in between selling things outside.
It turns out that Gai was practicing calligraphy on the train.
"Auntie has always held this notebook in her hand."
Tang Yuanyuan thought that her mother must be smiling because she thought that she could go to high school and then go to college.
I put away the notebook and the unrefundable train ticket together.
Zhou Wei added, "I just went to your house and found out you moved out."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I have nothing to do with the Tang family anymore."
Zhou Wei felt a little chilled when she thought of what Tang An had just said. Even she could see that the second and third wives of the Tang family were not good people. How come he could study so well but she couldn't see it at all?
"Xiao Wei, you are my sister's best friend. Now, she has completely stopped listening to me. Dad didn't mean to do this and didn't expect this to happen. If I had known earlier, I would definitely not have stopped Mom."
"In the final analysis, everyone is responsible for this matter. If Mom hadn't gone out to sell food, this wouldn't have happened. My sister is a girl with her own family, so why would she go to Li Mu's house? It's normal for family members to quarrel, and now everyone is angry."
"Please help persuade her and come back home."
Zhou Wei remembered Tang An's words and asked, "Have you really decided not to go back?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "No, the Tang family and I have a sworn enemy relationship."
Zhou Wei: "Your brother actually still cares about you. He wants me to persuade you to go back."
Tang Yuanyuan: "He's dreaming."
Zhou Wei: "What if you have no place to live? This place isn't a long-term solution."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I can't stay here for more than a few days. I'll move into the dormitory when school starts."
Zhou Wei knew that she couldn't persuade Tang Yuanyuan.
Tang Yuanyuan loved her mother too much, and this was her bottom line. She didn't know what to say, and she also cared about her mother's business before saying goodbye to Tang Yuanyuan.
She secretly gave Li Mu twenty yuan at the door and said, "Please take good care of her and cook some meat for her. She has low blood sugar."
Li Mu took the twenty yuan and put it in his pocket: "Got it."
He would take the money, but he had no interest in being Tang Yuanyuan's nanny.
The next day, the noodles and half-cooked vegetables were taken out directly, and even salt was deliberately not added. Tang Yuanyuan seemed to have no sense of taste. She picked up the noodles and ate them in big mouthfuls.
Li Mu snatched her chopsticks and said, "Are you crazy? How can you eat it without salt or cooking?"
