Chapter 113 What are you pretending for?
Lin Li pulled Zhou Qiang and said, "Comrade Zhou, don't be angry. I know you are a hateful person. Ling Xiao and I really don't have any feelings for each other now. As for whether to divorce or not, I am not in a hurry at this moment. Don't always worry about my youth being wasted. As long as what I am doing now is what I choose, there is no delay."
"Lin Li," Zhou Qiang nodded and said, "You are grown up now, and I think you can see the key to the matter. When Ling Xiao was unconscious, you gave everything to take care of him, and even gave up your marriage. But now you can see that he just used you as a tool. He just woke up and didn't even learn to take care of himself, but he forgot about you. Why do you continue to be his tool?! You should stand up bravely now and make it clear to the organization that the marriage is no longer valid. If no one takes care of him, I will take care of him with you! I am sincere to you..."
Lin Li waved his hand quickly: "Comrade Zhou, I chose to take care of Ling Xiao in the beginning, and now he is still unable to take care of himself. So I am still willing to take care of him at any time. I don't want to be a tool for him to use, but I have a way to make him healthy again. Even if he did something excessive to me, it is a personal grudge between him and me. Besides, he didn't do anything excessive. Putting aside personal feelings and looking at the national justice, he destroyed his own health in order to protect the safety of his compatriots. I respect him, so I can't focus on personal grudges. I must do my best to help him stand up again."
"Lin Li..." Zhou Qiang said anxiously, "I don't object to you taking care of him. I've said that I can take care of him with you. But you have to dissolve your marriage with him and draw a clear line between us, so that I won't delay you!"
"No, no, no," Lin Li waved his hands, "There's really no delay. What truly belongs to me will still belong to me no matter how late it comes. As for those who are not destined to belong to me but now seem to belong to me, if I give up my ideals and make preparations to meet them, it would be a waste of time."
After Lin Li finished speaking, Su Zhen immediately clapped his hands loudly: "Comrade Lin Li, there are not many people I, Su Zhen, truly admire, and now, you are one of them! I will publish your words in the newspaper to dispel everyone's misunderstanding of you. From now on, I will be your backing and will always support you!"
He was not just flattering, he was really moved by Lin Li's words.
Zhou Qiang pushed Su Zhen fiercely and said, "Su Zhen, stop talking nonsense here! When Ling Xiao just woke up, it was you who sowed discord between the couple. You took Ling Xiao away. What are you pretending to be now?"
"Zhou Qiang, you black turtle bastard!" Although Su Zhen is a doctoral student, he is a rough man. He cursed, "You want to fight? Okay, I'll accompany you!"
After saying this, he took off his glasses and threw them on the kang.
Lin Rong and his wife quickly tried to persuade each other.
Lin Li grabbed Su Zhen and said, "Su Zhen, if you dare to fight, I will kill you first..."
Su Zhen felt wronged: "Zhou Qiang hit me first! Why can't I fight back?"
"Alright, alright!" Lin Li said impatiently, "Take me to see Ling Xiao!"
However, Lin Rong wanted to stop her again. He also jumped off the kang and insisted on holding Lin Li and not letting her leave.
"Brother, I have to go to the Agricultural Science Academy tonight..." Lin Li cried.
She was really worried about Ling Xiao, he was a weak patient!
How could you let him go without food or water for three days and three nights?
Even healthy people can’t stand it!
Moreover, he was not only suffering physically, but also from the mental torture for two whole years, which made him have suicidal tendencies several times. However, at that time, he could not die even if he wanted to.
If he exhausted himself now, Lin Li would really regret it and be very sad.
She was about to pull him out of the abyss. As long as he endured a little longer, all the misfortunes would soon be over. Lin Li would never allow anything to happen to him at this time!
“No!” Lin Rong was as stubborn as a donkey. “If you dare to step out of the house today, I will not acknowledge you as my sister!”
In his life dictionary, even he, a grown man, had never gone out so far at night, let alone the girl was a girl.
Rural people of this era are accustomed to working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Moreover, there are no street lights in the village at night, so few people go out at night.
“Brother…”
Seeing that Lin Li was so anxious that he was about to cry, Lin Hua also got out of bed.
He took a coat from the cabinet and put it on Lin Lu, then said to Lin Rong calmly: "Brother, I also want to go see Ling Xiao. Then I will go with my sister. Don't worry, if I can't protect my sister and let her get into trouble, I will twist my head off and let you kick it like a ball."
"Shut up! Why are you saying such unlucky words?!" Lin Rong shouted angrily.
After a pause, Lin Rong waved his hands angrily: "Alright, alright, then you can take the girl out! But Lin Hua, remember, after going to the county town today, you must either go home and report that you are safe early tomorrow morning, or find someone to report that you are safe! Did you hear me?"
Su Zhen quickly said, "How about this, we don't have to wait until tomorrow. After Lin Li meets Ling Xiao, let them record a message to report that they are safe. I will have my students deliver it tonight."
Lin Rong already had a tape recorder at home, so he could use it to play the tapes once they were returned.
He was planning to buy a black and white TV before, but he has been worried about Lin Li's affairs recently and is no longer in the mood to buy one.
Now, after hearing Su Zhen say this, Lin Rong felt relieved.
Su Zhen complained in his heart that in this poor village, even the village party secretary's home didn't have a telephone. If there was one, he wouldn't have to ask his students to deliver any recordings. He could just dial the number here at the Agricultural Science Academy and let Lin Li and Lin Rong talk.
When Lin Li heard Su Zhen's inner complaints, she also thought of the 21st century cell phone.
She hasn't played with her mobile phone for a long time.
I miss my smartphone.
Lin Hua, Lin Li and Su Zhen went out together.
Lin Rong and his wife took two flashlights and accompanied them to the village entrance.
Su Zhen then said that he came by car and the car was parked on the side of the road.
When Lin Rong and his wife saw the cool Hongqi sedan, they were a little dazzled.
In this era, if you don't have a fortune of 10,000 yuan, you can't afford a car.
And it’s not just cars that are extremely expensive, road tolls are even more expensive!
Su Zhen entered the driver's seat. Lin Li opened the door for Lin Hua and let Lin Hua get into the back seat. Then she closed the door.
She went to the passenger seat because it was safer here.
The cars of that era were clumsy and bumpy, and the roads were sandy. It was actually very painful to ride in such a car late at night.
Only people of this generation would find it so novel and exciting.
Lin Rong wanted to give his flashlight to Lin Li, but Lin Li refused. Then Lin Li called Su Zhen and asked him to turn on the car lights.
Su Zhen did as he was told.
Seeing the car lights, Lin Rong looked at his flashlight again. How come it was suddenly outshined? It felt like there was no light at all...
Lin Rong was speechless, why could others be so successful and rich, while he, no matter how hard he tried, could not give the girl a good life!
