Chen Yilong sat for a while longer and then left Huo Jianguo's yard.
After they left, Su Mei picked out some things from the food brought by others and carried them to Aunt Wang's house. She said to Huo Jianguo:
"Aunt Wang's meal is ready. It's not good if we don't go to eat. Let's bring her some food and wait for the exchange of value. Isn't this considered a free meal?"
"Okay, you go first, I'll come back later." Huo Jianguo said as he got up from the bed.
Su Mei stopped him:
"You'd better lie down. I'll bring it back to you after eating. Although you didn't hurt your muscles or bones, the wound is quite badly torn. If you keep moving around, the wound will easily open and bleed."
"Oh, okay." Huo Jianguo heard this and lay back obediently.
He had been injured more seriously than this before, but every time he gritted his teeth and endured it, unwilling to tell others that he was injured.
For this kind of injury, he usually takes care of it by himself and goes to work as usual the next day.
This is the first time that someone has taken such good care of me. It feels really good to have someone who understands both cold and hot.
He watched Su Mei walk out of the door, and countless longings appeared in his eyes without even knowing it.
Aunt Wang next door had been waiting for Su Mei and Huo Jianguo to come over for dinner. When she heard footsteps in the yard, she immediately went out. When she saw what Su Mei was holding, her face immediately turned bad:
"Su Mei, what are you doing with your big bag?"
"Aunt Wang, we have troubled you a lot during this time. This situation is not easy for everyone. We can't always eat and drink at your place for free." Su Mei was about to go into the house as she spoke.
But Aunt Wang stopped her at the door: "No, I don't want these things. You take the things back first, or I won't let you in."
"If you don't let me in, then I won't be able to go back!" Su Mei said and was about to go back.
Aunt Wang became anxious when she saw this and hurriedly chased for a few steps:
"Oh, Su Mei, you have helped us so much, and we have nothing to repay, and yet you still want to take your things. Isn't this a slap in my old lady's face?"
"Aunt, either you put the things away and I go in to eat, or I go back with the things." Su Mei didn't want to take advantage of Aunt Wang all the time, so she told Aunt Wang:
"Huo Jianguo has agreed with the chief that the clinic will be opened in our courtyard in the future.
Now that I'm busy, I may have a lot of things to trouble you about in the future. If you refuse to accept my things, would I be embarrassed to trouble you? "
"Why bother?" Aunt Wang felt that even if Su Mei wanted her life, she would still be willing to give it because Su Mei saved her son's life.
The two were in a stalemate in the yard. Aunt Wang refused to accept the things and refused to let Su Mei go. She reached out to take the things in her hand and send them back to her.
In the end, Su Mei had no choice but to change her words to make Aunt Wang accept:
"Aunt Wang, can you please stop making things difficult for me? Don't you know that my old Huo is very annoyed with me eating and drinking outside? If you don't accept these things, then if Old Huo knows about it, he will accuse me of the whole thing. It's a good day to eat, but you're lazy to work, and you're greedy for petty gains.
The relationship between us has finally eased a bit. If things happen again, he will definitely drive me away. I worked so hard to change myself just to avoid being driven away by Huo Jianguo!
You just have to accept it, otherwise if he gets angry and doesn't want me anymore, then I will go back to before liberation and my hard work for so long has been in vain. "
"I...if I don't accept these things, will Mr. Huo not want you?" Aunt Wang looked at Su Mei several times hesitantly.
When Su Mei saw that this argument was effective, she became even more pitiful: "Yes, so Aunt Wang, just accept it, otherwise he really doesn't want me anymore and I won't be able to survive."
"I'll take it, I'll take it, don't feel bad." Aunt Wang then took the thing from Su Mei's hand doubtfully:
"Then you go and eat quickly. I steamed the steamed buns and fried some vegetables in the morning. You can put the vegetables between the steamed buns and eat them. It's delicious!"
"Okay." Su Mei nodded, then turned around and went into Aunt Wang's house.
After successfully delivering the things, Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She was not used to owing others, and she was unwilling to confuse interpersonal friendship with economy and interests.
No matter how good the relationship between people is, the accounts must be settled clearly. Only by distinguishing between you and me can we truly maintain a relationship in the long term.
Aunt Wang's family ate on the Kang. When Su Mei entered, there was no one else in the room. Xie Li probably had already eaten and returned to the room next to where Li Yuan was sleeping.
There was a table on the kang, and the porcelain basin on the table was filled with white steamed buns.
The stir-fried small stir-fried pork, red pepper and meat cubes are stir-fried together on a vegetable plate. It is especially delicious when sandwiched in steamed buns.
........
Next door, Huo Jianguo leaned against the corner of the house and couldn't calm down for a long time.
He got up to go to the toilet, but overheard what Su Mei said to Aunt Wang. She said that she was afraid of being driven away by him.
Sure enough, it was because of him that she underwent such earth-shaking changes.
How much does she like him before she changes herself from one person to another? It really shocked him.
You still insist on getting a divorce, no wonder they say that a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea...
A woman is willing to make such a big change for him, how can he bear to drive her away? He is not hard-hearted.
In the past few years, he never knew that she liked him to this extent.
He had asked her before why she had to marry him, and the answer she gave was:
"You are good-looking, you have a formal job, your salary is high, and your family is in good condition. What woman wouldn't want to marry you?"
At that time, she gave many reasons for marrying him, but she never said she liked him.
She probably didn't know what liking was before, but it wasn't until he filed for divorce and she realized that she couldn't live without him that she became completely panicked and understood the importance of him in her heart.
So, she began to change herself...
Her transformation really brought him a lot of surprises.
After leaning against the corner for a long time, and thinking about Su Mei's words several times in his heart, Huo Jianguo walked to the toilet in the backyard with a smile on his face~~
[This is not bad, she likes me. 】
