Miss, you are my future wife

Chapter 39 Mother-in-law (two in one chapter)

Yu Lihua came back three days earlier than originally planned.

The price of the Nanbangguo pilgrimage group this time is indeed extremely low, but... it is said that it is a pilgrimage, and half of the time is spent on shopping, which is really disturbing.

It just so happened that something urgent happened at the school, so Yu Lihua hurriedly booked the nearest air ticket to return home.

Now, the advantage of the low-priced group is gone, so what's the matter.

Before entering the door, Yu Lihua noticed the pair of sneakers on the shoe rack.

The shoes look brand new, but if they belong to my younger brother, they are a bit small.If it was newly bought by my daughter, it would be as big as a boat.

She reached out to pick up the shoes to have a look, and then thought of her daughter's flustered tone on the phone just now, as if thinking of something, she retracted her outstretched hand like an electric shock.

Yu Lihua staggered, leaned on the wall unsteadily, frowned and continued to stare at the pair of...men's shoes.

The wooden door in front of her was opened, Yu Lihua turned her head, and what she saw was her daughter's pale face and a forced smile: "Mom~"

Her daughter Yu Luying stretched out slightly trembling hands, lifted the suitcase by the door, and took the bag in her left hand.

"There are so many masks," Yu Luying looked into the bag as she walked into the room, "Is it enough for three years?"

Yu Lihua ignored her and walked into the room with a sullen face.

Behind the curtain, there should be no way to hide a big living person.

There are several dishes under the vegetable cover on the dining table, which are very rich, but there are not many dishes left.

"Mom, have you eaten cuttings?"

"Ate."

In the sink, there were indeed two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

The beds and sofas are clean and tidy, and they cannot be cleaned up in twos and twos.

Think on the bright side, nothing happened, think on the bad side...

Impossible, that is my raised daughter after all.

Yu Lihua pulled the trolley case, put it down in front of the bed, and squatted down to open it.

Her eyes rolled around the bottom of the bed, which was full of boxes and sundries - there could be no one there.

Then, there is only one place left.

When Yu Lihua took out two coats from the box and walked to the wardrobe, she caught a glimpse of her daughter's expression out of the corner of her eye, and sighed inwardly.

She took a deep breath and opened the closet door vigorously.

The clothes hanging inside felt a little moved, but there was nothing else but clothes.

You can't jump out of the window, can you?

Out of the corner of her eye, Yu Lihua caught a glimpse of her daughter's pale face.

Mom is so scary...?
In the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the closet, a sad face was reflected.

Short hair, tired, stern, haggard, the face of a middle-aged woman.

In the mirror, another young face with long hair was reflected.

So young, so beautiful, no need for makeup or mask, the overflowing collagen seems to flow down after one bite...

It was my own appearance back then, so similar.

"Mom, I miss you." The girl behind hugged her waist.

Yu Lihua turned around, embraced her daughter in her arms, and gently stroked her head.

"I miss you too." Yu Lihua said.

--split line--

"You just came back, are you leaving?" Yu Luying said.

"Well, I have to go to school right away." Yu Lihua put on her high heels and picked up her bag: "School is urgent, I may come back late, check the doors, windows, gas switch before you go to bed..."

"I know, I know." The girl said.

Yu Lihua strolled down one floor, heard the door of the upstairs house closed, then went up two floors lightly, turned into a shadow, and stood still.

She took out a pack of blue Aixi, opened it, took out a thin and long cigarette, and popped the popping beads in the filter.

I smoked this cigarette just to pinch this popcorn, Yu Lihua thought.

Yu Lihua fired the lighter a few times but failed to light the lighter, but the door of her own house downstairs had already been pushed open.

A tall and thin figure walked out quickly from inside.

"Xiao Yao." After the door closed, Yu Lihua called out.

The black shadow shuddered and ran downstairs.

Yu Lihua didn't chase after her either, but just lit her own cigarette.

But the figure didn't run far, and slowly climbed up again.

"Mother Yu Luying? Is that you?" the boy called timidly.

Yu Lihua sucked a mouthful of mint smoke into her lungs, and then slowly exhaled it.

She came out of the shadows and looked at Xiao Yao through the pale corridor lights.

"Have a cup of coffee?"

"it is good."

--split line--

Modern Café is an old shop with a long history. It is just next to the old commercial street. Although the single products are not rich and the prices are high, with the arrogance of old money, the Chinese and foreign exchange The sense of ceremony still attracts the patronage of many white-collar workers and residents around.

"A cup of caramel macchiato, without sugar." Yu Lihua stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

"Auntie, I won't drink any more. I don't like coffee." Xiao Yao said cautiously, "I mainly want to chat with you."

"Okay, let's talk." Yu Lihua leaned on the back of the chair: "By the way, where did you hide just now? Climb out the window barefoot?"

"This..." Xiao Yao pondered for a few seconds, but did not answer her question directly: "Auntie, don't blame Yu Luying, she did nothing wrong, I was the one who stalked her and forced her into the house..."

"Why should I care whose fault it is?" Yu Lihua flicked the cigarette ash, showing a smile that could not be called friendly: "I went to your school last semester, hoping that the school will take effective measures to keep you away from my daughter. A little. But you Director Lin and Teacher Yao are very supportive of you, and finally asked you to write a letter of guarantee."

The boy in front of him turned pale.

"As for today's matter, if I go to school again, do you think Director Lin will consider the last suggestion he agreed to—"

"Auntie, that's why I want to talk to you. I want you to allow Yu Luying to choose who to be friends with." Xiao Yao sat up straight and said loudly.

Yu Lihua covered her eyes and nose, shook her head and laughed.

"Choose you? That's fine." After laughing, Yu Lihua leaned forward, clasped her fingers and put her elbows on the table: "I'll just go straight to the point—you are still a student now, you should put the main Focus on studying. When you go to university, graduate and enter the society, and your relationship matures, then look back..."

My boring and old-fashioned lecture was interrupted by the boy in front of me: "Yu Luying is the first in the class, the top ten in the grade, and based on my understanding of her, even if she really falls in love, it won't affect her studies—"

"Of course my daughter can weigh the pros and cons." Yu Lihua nodded, "Thank you."

The last part of the sentence "thank you" was to the waiter. She took the coffee and took a sip: "So I'm not talking about her, but about you."

"Me?" The boy in front of him showed a confused expression.

"Yu Luying is number one in the class, and you are number one from the bottom..."

"The second to last." Xiao Yao corrected, "The last one is Zhang Jialong."

"As far as I know, you're about to repeat a grade, right?"

"No such thing."

"You have been doing bad deeds since last semester, which caused your teacher Yao a lot of headaches. You skipped classes many times, played games in Internet cafes, failed to hand in homework, and even... harassed a girl, that is, our Yu Luying. If it weren't for you Your school has a habit of defending weaknesses, and you have already been punished." Yu Lihua leaned back on the chair again: "What I said is correct, right?"

"So, do you think Yu Luying doesn't know about my situation?" The young man held the glass of water tightly in both hands: "She has the ability to weigh the pros and cons, you said it yourself."

"You mean to say that my daughter is in love with you?" The veins on Yu Lihua's forehead bulged, the second word "you" was bitten hard, and her tone was full of disbelief: "So, you want to persuade me not to stop? !"

"If a girl is always alone, then it's not surprising that she falls in love with any kind of person one day." Xiao Yao seemed to have made up his mind and said.

"Girls shouldn't love anyone at this time!" Yu Lihua slapped the table angrily, attracting the attention of the surrounding guests and waiters.

She also knew that she had lost her composure, and she was silent for a while before speaking again.

"If it's a boy in the church, I'll open my eyes and close my eyes..."

"If it's really because of this..." Xiao Yao blurted out.

"Are you joining the religion too? It's meaningless," Yu Lihua said, "The foundation is not stable. Pretending to be a believer in order to get married is just a formality. In the future, your attitude towards life and marriage will still be that of a foreign teacher. Thinking, that would be a big destabilizing factor."

"Auntie, you're thinking too far," Xiao Yao's neck turned red, "We're just high school—"

"Yes, I'm just a high school student. Marriage is too far away." Yu Lihua's eyes passed Xiao Yao's back and cast her gaze into the unknown void: "So, just love as much as you want. What consequences, what responsibilities you will bear in the future, are not something you need to consider, this is the taste of youth, right?"

"It's not like that, Auntie!" The boy looked a little annoyed: "Your thinking is too biased."

"Oh?" Yu Lihua refocused her eyes on Xiao Yao's face with great interest.

"First of all! Does your theory of blood origin conform to the doctrine?" Xiao Yao's tone was a little excited: "The class is solidified, refuses to intermarry with newcomers, is self-styled, encloses itself, how to absorb new blood, how to develop? No matter where you are, The next generation is always the future..."

Seeing Xiao Yao's righteous words, Yu Lihua was a little dazed: "Did you come up with these words yourself, or did Yu Luying teach them?"

"Of course I—"

"That's right, Yu Luying probably wouldn't be able to say these words." Yu Lihua nodded, "I'm beginning to understand why my daughter only likes you." The word 'you' still bites heavily.

"What, like it?..." Xiao Yao was stunned.

"I admit that what you said is all right, I even started to appreciate you a little bit." Yu Lihua's eyes softened a little: "By the way, your parents are not together anymore?"

Xiao Yao was a little caught off guard by the sudden words: "Yes, how do you know everything?"

"Sorry, I didn't intend to expose other people's scars," Yu Lihua said softly: "But I am doing social science, and statistics show that if a person's original family marriage is unlucky, not only the probability of his unlucky marriage will increase by 50% , and the friends around him are susceptible too - I can't take that risk anymore."

"Auntie," Xiao Yao clenched his fists: "Everyone is an independent individual. It depends on human effort. Human free will is very important, and it cannot be simply represented by probability..."

"So, do you want to tell me that you have already thought about how to marry her, how to give her a safe, stable and reliable future, and that no matter it is poverty, disease, or anything else, you will never leave her? "Yu Lihua shook her drained coffee cup, and there was a trace of drunkenness in her tone.

"..." The boy was silent: "I don't know."

"Heh." Yu Lihua sighed softly, "You're honest."

"If it was two months ago, a month ago, I would have said yes without hesitation," the boy said hesitantly: "But now, I don't know. I don't know what the future will be like, so I can't just promise , but, I still don't want to lose Yu Luying as a friend, and...and, I believe she also, she also..."

"It seems that you have really thought about it, haven't you?"

Before Xiao Yao answered, Yu Lihua chuckled again: "Really, why am I telling you these things? If it was the parents of other girls, they wouldn't tell you these things at all."

"Yes, Auntie," Xiao Yao said sincerely, "So I am also very grateful to you, thank you for being willing to share your concerns and opinions with me, and thank you for being willing to listen to me so much..."

"Okay, kid with no hair yet," Yu Lihua waved her hand, "Tell me, you didn't bully Yu Luying during the two weeks I wasn't in China, did you?"

"Absolutely not," Xiao Yao raised his right hand to the sky: "Respect each other like a guest! ——Ah, no, uh, I mean..."

"Okay, let's go back." Yu Lihua stood up, "It's getting late."

Xiao Yao still sat in his seat, hesitating for a few seconds: "Auntie, I still have something to say."

"Oh? Yes, you can tell." Yu Lihua raised her eyebrows and sat down again.

"I have one thing to ask you," Xiao Yao said with his head down, "It's my fault that I sneaked into your house while you were not at home. You can blame me however you want, I just hope you can promise me , don't hit her again this time."

"Who told you that I beat her?" Yu Lihua's face sank again, her voice raised an octave.

"..."

"Forget it, who else can be." Yu Lihua smiled wryly: "I know."

"You agreed? That's great!" Xiao Yao said happily: "Also, I've been thinking about it for a long time to tell you this today. In fact, Yu Luying doesn't have many friends in school. Apart from me, there are almost no male friends. No, you're not here during this time, I think she's in a much better state, very relaxed, whether she's at school or—"

"It seems that not only tonight, you have been together all this time, right?" Yu Lihua asked faintly.

"No, no, it's mainly because of the state at school..." Xiao Yao waved his hands again and again, realizing that he was getting carried away.

"Xiao Yao, do you think I'm giving you shame?" Yu Lihua's tone became cold again, and her eyebrows were furrowed: "You already want to meddle in our mother-daughter relationship? She hasn't married you yet!"

"Auntie, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that—"

"No such meaning, what do you mean?" Yu Lihua said angrily: "You mean, my daughter wished that I was not at home, and my daughter would be happy without me?!"

"Auntie, she didn't say that, so don't think so." Xiao Yao hugged his head with both hands.

Yu Lihua stood up and pushed open the door of the coffee shop.

A gust of wind chimes came along with the night wind, which made Yu Lihua feel a little sober.

She took a deep breath and left without looking back.
