Ling Zheng felt warm in her heart when she heard this, "I just went back to visit my mother, and I'm not going into a pit of fire. Besides, my mother is no longer seriously ill now, so how can she care about my marriage?"
"Fine."
After all, Ling Zheng was in the subway and the signal was not good, so she hung up after chatting for a few words.
On the way back to her hometown on the high-speed train, Ling Zheng took out her mobile phone and thought of Lu Chongli's instructions that day. Finally, she found his WeChat account and sent him a message: [My dad sent me the medical records. My mom did have a brain tumor. , I took leave and went back to my hometown. I won’t be back until next year. 】
After sending it, she looked at the scenery outside the window with mixed emotions.
She went back to her hometown last summer for summer vacation and never went back again.
On her way back last year, she didn't even have money to take the train. Later, she borrowed some money from high school and bought a hard seat. She sat on the train all night before returning to Sioux City.
Now that I'm back again, everything has changed.
Lu Chongli never replied to her WeChat message.
After five hours of high-speed train ride, Lingzheng arrived at the capital city of Hubei Province and took the high-speed train back to her hometown.
My hometown is a small fourth- and fifth-tier city in Hubei Province.
In fact, when Lingzheng was a child, she lived with her grandparents in the countryside. Her grandparents didn't like her because she was too young, so she couldn't remember many things, except that it was very painful.
Later, when she was taken back to her parents, she thought things would get better, but her life turned out to be even more miserable.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Ling Zheng finally returned to her hometown.
She took the bus for about forty minutes before finally arriving at the community where the Ling family lived.
This residential complex has been built for more than 20 years. It is a staircase house, but the area of the house is about a hundred square meters.
Ling Zheng opened the door and went in. The Ling family was having a meal. The atmosphere was quite lively. There were seven or eight people sitting at a round table. Ling's father was holding a glass of wine and smiling carefully at a bloated middle-aged man. Ling's mother was in the kitchen. Stir-fried vegetables.
Ling Zheng's appearance made the room quiet for a moment.
Father Ling froze even more.
He didn't expect Ling Zheng to come back so soon. Although he just talked to Ling Zheng on the phone yesterday, he didn't hear Ling Zheng say that he would be back today at all.
"Who's here?" Ling's mother came out of the kitchen rubbing her apron and was startled when she saw Ling Zheng.
It's over, she doesn't look like someone with a brain tumor.
Apparently Ling's father also realized it. He quickly pinched his thigh hard, stared at my excited and sad old face and walked over, "Zhengzheng, why did you come back and didn't tell us in advance? If you had known that dad was driving, I’ll pick you up at the station.”
"Old Ling, who is this?" The bloated middle-aged man at the table stared at Ling's father with bright eyes.
"My daughter."
After Ling's father finished the introduction, he immediately went over to help Ling Zheng get her luggage, "Let's go, take your things into the room first. Have you eaten?"
"without."
Ling Zheng felt weird. When she came back, Ling's father would not be so enthusiastic at all. Could it be that Ling's mother was ill and didn't want to see her daughter now?
After entering the room, Lingzheng said in confusion, "Dad, didn't you say that mom has a brain tumor? Why do you still let her do so many dishes? This disease should be treated well and not work too hard."
"No, I cooked most of the dishes on the table, including the last few dishes. Because I had to entertain Mr. Xu and the others, I had no choice but to leave the kitchen to your mother."
Father Ling said, "Mr. Xu is the boss of my company."
Ling Zheng had never met Mr. Xu. She had been studying for a few years. Ling's father changed companies two years ago and she didn't know him at all.
