Chapter 164 The Rain is Too Heavy
When she opened the door, she saw Liu Qingcheng standing at the door wearing a straw hat and a raincoat.
"Qingcheng?" Gu Wan didn't exclaim until she saw the person clearly. She was startled to see her crying face and quickly made way for her.
"Come on, come in, it's raining so hard."
She was holding an umbrella and walking barefoot. Her trouser legs and clothes were mostly wet. She had only walked from the main room to the gate of the yard, a distance that took less than a minute.
Liu Qingcheng looked at Gu Wan sadly and walked in without saying a word. Gu Wan hurriedly closed the door and waited at the door of the main room.
Liu Qingcheng was just untying the belt of his straw raincoat.
Gu Wan didn't care that her pants were still wet. After putting away her umbrella, she started pouring tea for her.
"Just sit down wherever you want."
She pointed her chin at the stool that was always placed in the main room. Liu Qingcheng didn't bother to be polite with her. After hanging the raincoat on the wall, he took a stool and sat down at the threshold.
When Gu Wan handed her the tea, she just took it silently without saying a word.
She was about to get her something to eat when she heard her hoarse voice say:
"Gu Wan, stop busying yourself. Please stay and talk to me."
Gu Wan knew that she must have a lot to say, so she took a stool and sat down opposite her.
"I'm sorry, this wouldn't have happened if it weren't for me." Gu Wan was the first to apologize.
Liu Qingcheng's originally calm face froze. He frowned and looked at Gu Wan. It took him a while to realize what she said.
Gently shook his head:
"It has nothing to do with you. After you told me that day, I originally wanted to go home to find a piece of clothing. I lost a piece of clothing before, and I didn't think much of it at first. But after listening to what you said, I roughly understood it, so I wanted to go back and confirm it.
My mother thought I was doing something, and we had a fight. My mother locked me up and said she would keep me there until the day of my wedding."
She paused, lowered her head and looked at the water droplets gradually gathering together under her feet, and then continued:
"But I was unwilling to give up, so I ran away and went to find my grandma. My grandma gave me money and told me to go find my dad."
Gu Wan didn't expect it to be like this. It turned out that she didn't even go to look for Zhu Suxia and Xu Guizhen.
"I got on the train, got caught and was sent back."
She summarized what had happened in the past few days in one sentence. Gu Wan listened quietly without interrupting her. She knew that she must have a lot to say.
"When I came back, I didn't catch up with my grandma's burial. I went to her grave and sat for a while, then I had a quarrel with my mom. She dragged me to call my dad."
She swallowed, her eyes fixed on the ground, recalling what had just happened.
All I could think about was her mother's words:
"I don't care what your relationship with her is, but you can't control me!"
"I'm vicious? If I were vicious, I should have taught you to stay away from that old woman, I should have not let you call her, I should have kept an eye on you, but I didn't, because you have your father's blood flowing in your body, so I didn't care.
But Liu Qingcheng, anyone can say that, except you. I worked so hard to raise you, and you drank my blood when you were little, so you are the least qualified to scold me, Liu Qingcheng."
"You are standing up for your grandma, why don't you ask your dad? Your dad is your grandma's biological son. Does he know that you treat me like this?"
That was the first time Liu Qingcheng saw her mother so hysterical, as if she had gone crazy.
It was clearly her who was going crazy and it was clearly her fault, but the uncles and aunts around her were all comforting her mother, and she also wanted to hear what her father was thinking.
How could I allow my mother to treat my grandmother like that? Not only did she ignore her in normal times, but she was also unwilling to hold a funeral when she died.
When the call was connected, her father only said one sentence after listening to her mother:
"Qingcheng, don't worry about the grudges between adults, and don't talk nonsense about your mother. If you really think your grandma is good, just go and burn incense for her from time to time."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingcheng left the brigade headquarters and walked around the village.
She didn't know where to go, and she was very confused.
"Gu Wan, my uncles and aunts told me to be considerate of my mom, but I haven't experienced those things, so I really don't understand. I just thought my mom and grandma didn't get along.
My grandma doesn't mention my mom often, so I will go to accompany her occasionally because I think people should be filial. My dad can't accompany my grandma because of work, and my mom doesn't want to come over, so I have to be nicer to my grandma.
My mother often speaks very harshly. Whenever I feel uncomfortable, I will go to my grandmother's place. Over time, I feel more comfortable at my grandmother's place than at home.
Especially after my mother forced me to give my university place to my younger brother, I felt that this mother was no longer my mother. "
After she finished speaking, the tears that had gathered in her eyes began to fall.
"But what I have always believed, today, it seems that everyone does not think so. Not even one person stands on my side, thinks I am right, or feels sorry for my mother.
Tell me, Gu Wan, am I really wrong? "
Gu Wan pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. After all, she had a very bad first impression of Zhang Fengxia. Her words were really unpleasant.
Later I heard that she gave Liu Qingcheng's university place to her son, and my impression of her became even worse.
But after what happened last time at Liu Xie'e's house and what Liu Qingcheng said today, she felt a little uncomfortable again.
"I don't know how to comment, but I think since everyone is saying this, your mother must have experienced a lot of things that made her feel uncomfortable.
As her daughter, she didn't restrict you. I think that was her greatest kindness. As for asking her... we are not her, and we can't forgive for her, because we can't go back to the past and experience the difficulties she went through. So I think your father is right. Do what you think is right, and don't get involved in adult matters."
Gu Wan didn’t know whether Liu Qingcheng had listened to her or not. After listening, she just sat for a while and then left.
The rain continued for two or three days in a row, and everyone went from being happy at the beginning about not having to go to work to starting to get anxious.
Although the rain would occasionally lighten up, it was heavy most of the time, which made it impossible for the team leader to arrange for people to pick all the vegetables such as peppers, loofahs, and eggplants.
It’s not that I’m afraid of getting wet in the rain, but because in addition to rain, there are also thunder and lightning from time to time.
Who would dare to go out to work at this time? What if you get struck to death by lightning?
Everyone in the village began to worry. Not to mention the vegetables in the fields, the rice in the paddy fields would not be harvested for more than a month. If things continued like this, they would be drowned.
