Xia You Arbor: Looking to Heaven

Chapter 86 Mom, I Actually Love You (1)
As the sky gradually darkened, Xia Tong suggested to go to the house where she and her mother used to live to rest for a night before making plans. Qu Weiran nodded in agreement, and the two walked slowly to the village. There were no street lights in the countryside, only the twinkling stars in the sky. And the bright moonlight illuminated them. Before the two of them reached the entrance of the village, they heard a loud voice from a distance: "Is it Tongtong?"

Xia Tong blinked, staring at the front, the faint light of the flashlight came over, a black and strong country man came riding an old-fashioned bicycle with bars, Xia Tong looked up at him, without saying a word.

"Why didn't you talk when I saw you, Uncle Li? What happened? Your mother is looking for you desperately." Uncle Li stopped his bicycle and continued on his feet, "I have searched all over the village, hurry up Go home with uncle, your mother is dying of anxiety at home."

Xia Tong pursed her lips and stood still.

Uncle Li looked at Qu Weiran and asked, "Which family is this? I've never seen him before."

"Hi Uncle, my name is Qu Weiran, and I am Xia Tong's classmate." Qu Weiran said politely, "I came back with Xia Tong."

"Oh, you sent Tongtong back, thank you." Uncle Li turned the car around and said boldly, "Let's go home with Uncle for dinner."

Uncle Li patted the back seat and said, "Come on, Uncle will take you."

Xia Tong stood still, Qu Weiran pushed her: "Let's go, I'm hungry."

With a cold face, Xia Tong walked to the front of the bicycle's horizontal bar and sat on it sideways. Uncle Li also got on the bicycle and kicked it up. Qu Weiran waited for the bicycle to ride smoothly before jumping on it.

Uncle Li smiled: "Tongtong is so beautiful. Living in the city is different. She has grown tall and handsome in a few years. I will definitely find a good husband's family in the future."

Xia Tong didn't speak, and didn't want to talk to him at all.Uncle Li is a widower in the village, and his ex-wife did not leave him a single child. In the past, when there was any heavy work that she and her mother could not do at home, he would be called to help. The grandmother next door said that Uncle Li liked her mother since she was a child. But mother doesn't like him.Uncle Li has always been very kind to her. Every time he went to the city to work and earn money, he would buy her some food. So when she was a child, Xia Tong always regarded Uncle Li as her father.

As soon as the bicycle stopped in the yard, Xia Tong's mother came out to greet her and held Xia Tong's hand tightly: "You child, why are you so bad-tempered now? You don't listen to your mother. You ran away like this, how much does mother say?" Worry."

Xia Tong lowered her head and remained silent.

"Oh, don't talk about it, go into the house and take the children to eat, what time is it?" Uncle Li pushed Xia Tong's mother, "Boil Tong Tong with eggs, come back after a long time."

Xia Tong's mother turned around, secretly wiped away her tears and said, "What kind of eggs are you stewing?

"Then let's stew tomorrow. Let's go and eat." Uncle Li waved his big hand, brought the whole family into the house, and sat down at the dining table.

Xia Tong's mother served everyone a meal, sat on the side with the child in her arms, and watched everyone eat.

"Why don't you eat?" Uncle Li asked.

"I'm not hungry."

"You're a ghost if you're not hungry. I usually eat three big bowls."

Xia Tong's mother glared at him.

"Oh, let's eat." Uncle Li pushed the rice bowl over, "It's a good thing that Tongtong is back, don't you miss her too? Just stay at home in the future, isn't it just an extra pair of chopsticks? How much can you eat?"

Xia Tong's action of lowering his head to pick up rice paused for a moment, then raised his big eyes, and looked at Uncle Li gratefully.

"I hate her pair of chopsticks!" Xia Tong's mother suddenly became angry, and threw the bowl on the table, "I think she will go to high school and college in the future! Can you make money to pay her tuition? Do you have an old lady?" I have a young child, and I have to support the two old people of your ex-wife’s family. My parents also need to subsidize some, and our son... this disease..." Xia Tong's mother cried while talking, "I don't want to be with you. Live with my daughter? It's all the flesh that fell from my body, how can I be willing to..."

Xia Tong's mother raised her hand and wiped her tears with the palm of her hand: "No matter how hard it is in the city, she is still a city resident. Tong Tong stays here, and after she passes by, she has to find her husband's family. Before she turns 20, she has to be a mother. Good marriage." Forget it, if you don't marry well, you will suffer for the rest of your life!"

"I'm so cruel! I absolutely don't want my daughter to be like me!" Xia Tong's mother wiped away tears, looked at Xia Tong stubbornly and said, "No matter how hard it is in the city, you will go back to me! How many times have I told you ! You can control your own destiny by reading the book!"

"Tongtong, let me tell you, everything is empty! No one can be trusted! You have to rely on yourself! Do you understand!"

"Why can't you be stronger and better, kid?"

"What are you doing back here!" Xia Tong's mother said louder and louder.

Xia Tong bit her lip and remained silent.Qu Weiran's eating movements were also much slower.

"Oh, the child doesn't want to stay in the city, what are you forcing her to do?" Uncle Li stopped him.

"I hate her for not being motivated! Why is she being bullied? I can't bear being bullied!" Xia Tong's mother glared at Xia Tong and said repeatedly, "What did I tell you when you went? You have to bear it, you have to bear it!" endure."

Xia Tong bit her lip, her eyes were flushed, she looked at the rice grains in the bowl with guilt, and said softly, "I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry, Mom..." Hot tears rolled down my cheeks and dripped into the bowl.

Qu Weiran lowered his head, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and said coldly: "It's so great!"

Everyone looked at him strangely.

"Auntie, you are so great." Qu Weiran raised his eyes, his glasses reflected light, his eyes were full of shrewdness and calmness, "Since you are so great, why did you ask Xia Tong's father to borrow money?"

"Oh, it's too nice to say borrowing," Qu Weiran raised an eyebrow, "It should be called 'blackmail'."

"You who are so smart, and who love Xia Tong so much, didn't you think about her situation before 'blackmailing'?"

"After she was completely abandoned by her father, she still wanted to drive her back. Since you think about her so much, tell me, will her father let her in again?"

"Why do you adults always find some good excuses to justify yourself? Let yourself be the right party, and then blame our children for being ignorant, unmotivated, and intolerant?"

"Admit it, you are a really selfish and hypocritical person, you have no right to blame Xia Tong at all." After Qu Weiran finished speaking, she turned to look at Xia Tong and continued, "And you, don't be so stupid all the time. Believe what you say."

Qu Weiran stood up gracefully after speaking, and thanked politely: "I'm full, thank you for your hospitality."

And Xia Tong stared at Qu Weiran with wide eyes, and then turned his head to look at his mother with a hurt face...

Has she been cheated again...

Once again, cheated by her favorite mother...

Xia Tong's mother's face turned red and then turned pale, and the honest Uncle Li smacked his lips in embarrassment: "They told you not to take that guy's money, but you didn't listen."

Xia Tong's mother bit her lip, her sallow face was full of haggardness, she nodded lightly and said: "Yes... I am selfish. But if I am not selfish, I still live in that crappy house in Qianzhuang until now. Let that man who will never look back come back! I am selfish! To be a human being is to be selfish! You must, Xia Tong, you must learn from your mother! You must also be selfish!"

"Okay, don't teach bad children!"

"I teach bad kids? I just don't want her to become like me in the future..."

Uncle Li was also a little impatient: "Okay, okay, you can eat, food can't cover your mouth."

Xia Tong put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said in a low voice: "I'm full too." Then she turned around and walked out the door, she didn't want to hear any more, she didn't want to listen to her excuses.

Outside the door, in the yard, Qu Weiran was standing in the dark night, with his hands in his pockets, his head slightly raised, looking at the stars in the sky boredly, Xia Tong walked over step by step, and walked in front of him, Qu Weiran turned his head Looking at her, she raised her lips and smiled, raised her hand gently, and wiped away the tears on her cheeks: "Crying again?"

"Ah."

"I can't stand you at all, you're so stupid."

"Ah."

Qu Weiran rubbed her hair, and coaxed her in a very gentle voice: "Be good, don't cry."

"Hmm..." Xia Tong nodded, then stretched out her arms and hugged Qu Weiran slowly, her cheek was pressed against his thin chest, her low sobs shook his heart.Qu Weiran looked at the front silently, raised his arms to hug her back, and said with a sigh, "I'm sorry..."

Sorry, I shouldn't have exposed her.

I'm sorry, maybe you should live in a lie if you are a fool.

I'm sorry that I broke your little expectations in the end.

Qu Weiran closed her eyes, and hugged Xia Tong vigorously, feeling a little regretful in her heart.
