Chapter 23 twenty three apologies

Yaping was at the police station, Lijuan was in the hospital with her father on her back and accompanied her mother who suffered a small stroke, and Yaping's mother was alone in the morgue, facing the dead body on the bed in a daze. "Hurry up and get some clothes to put on. I'm going to get hard later. Now my body is full of urine and feces. How can I go on the road!" the mortuary instructed.Yaping's mother acted as if she hadn't heard. Now Yaping's house is crowded with relatives from the Northeast, and the house is decorated like a mourning hall. The leaders of Yaping's company came to visit, Yaping's father's unit sent people to express condolences, and Lijuan's company also sent people to send elegiac couplets.Yaping knelt down on his knees, and could do nothing but cry bitterly. Sister Yaping stood at the door to greet her.Yaping's mother lay on the bed and refused to speak.

The first thing Li Juan's mother said when she woke up was: "Go back quickly." Li Juan said sleepily: "I won't return. I'm so disgusted." "No! You must go back! His mother is already planning to sell our house! If you don't go back, they will change the lock someday, and the deed will be inside again. If you don't have the house, it will be gone! Let me tell you, you You can’t even step out of that room to have a baby and call the doctor to come home! After the child’s life is over, you will leave him to his house and divorce him! These wild ghosts from other places really can’t get involved! They are rogues! Go! Go!" Li Juan's mother pushed Li Juan back with her only movable arm.

"Oh! What are you worrying about? You've become like this, and you still think about the house. It's true to have a good rest and take care of yourself. Do you want to be like Yaping and his old man?" Li Juan's father patted Touching Lijuan's mother's chest to comfort her. "I can't swallow this breath! Do you want my daughter to take the child home to live in the future? Why should those country bumpkins be kicked out! There is no one who bullies the old lady! You go! Tell your son to bring a group of people and bring The boss drove them away! You go!" Li Juan's mother sat on the bed and directed.

"Oh! What are you doing? After all, you are still a family! If you have something to say, talk about it. Nothing is more important than your body. Lie down, Lie down! Li Juan, go back quickly! You have a lot of things going on there, you Here, your mother is anxious when she sees you. Let's go!" Li Juan's father pushed her out.Before going out, close the door, and whispered at the door: "Don't listen to your mother. Take care of yourself, and I will talk about other things later. Don't fight with others. Yaping's father just died, so be careful. Don't make yourself and your children suffer. .Call your brother if you have any questions. Go back quickly! I'm too busy here, and I can't take care of you."

Lijuan came home. The whole house was shrouded in gloom and mist. The big black photos, the black curtain wall, and the wreaths were placed outside the big iron gate downstairs. Everyone who came in and out wore black armbands. Insert a small white flower.Lijuan heard Yaping's hoarse voice at the door, crying and shouting: "Dad, Dad, my son is not filial!" Lijuan stepped over the threshold and went straight to the stairs. "Stop!" Sister Yaping stood at the door and shouted in a low voice.Li Juan didn't even turn her head, didn't stop at all, and went straight to her bedroom.

Guanhua handed the sackcloth to Yaping and said, "Go! Tell your wife to put it on! She is still wearing a red sweater!" Yaping continued to cry and ignored him.Guanhua kicked Yaping and said, "Go! Are you still a man? Can you control your daughter-in-law? I'm so angry that my dad didn't even say anything, and he didn't even knock his head when he entered the door! If it weren't for looking at her stomach Pretend to be my child, and I will kill her!" Yaping continued to cry at the top of his voice. Guanhua thumped up to the second floor, slammed on the door and said, "Put on filial piety!"

Nothing happened inside. "Open the door! Do you hear that? Put on filial piety!" Guanhua kicked the door with his feet. After Li Juan opened the door, Guanhua threw the sackcloth on Li Juan's face, "You killed my dad!" Li Juan refused to give in, threw the sackcloth back and said, "Who killed your father? If you hadn't lost everyone's money, your father would have had two more days to live. Don't try to put the shit pot on someone's head for yourself Find it easy. You not only killed your father, but also caused my mother to lie in the hospital. I think you haven’t spoken yet because of Yaping’s sister! Don’t think that if you speak louder, I will be suppressed by you .Tell you, our business is endless! Let's see you in court. I have your husband and your autographed IOU in my hand, which says that you are in arrears and pay interest. See who is ruthless! I really want to see this world I don’t understand, the one who owes money is so arrogant!”

Guanhua stood at the door, tongue-tied.Li Juan slammed the bedroom door and fell straight on Guanhua's face.Guanhua ran downstairs and wept loudly, telling her younger brother and mother what Lijuan wanted to sue her while crying. Yaping's mother sighed and said, "Oh! The family is ruined. The house is leaking every time it rains!" After thinking for a moment, she said to Yaping, "I'll find a chance and I'll have a good talk with Lijuan. After all, we are a family, so we can't do it just for the sake of something. The money has been lost." Then he turned to his daughter and said, "It's time now, don't keep irritating her." After speaking, he pointed to the second floor, "You are holding the handle in someone's hands! To be honest, where is the money matter? We are all wrong, if she really goes to sue, it will break up several families. Your father's business is not just to be happy, but to think about us alive."

The day before Yaping's father's funeral, Yaping's mother held a family meeting.For the past two days, Lijuan has been shutting herself out, out of sight and out of mind.That night, it was Yaping's mother who stood at the door and kept knocking, whispering softly that Yang Lijuan came out. "Lijuan! My family has suffered such a great misfortune. I am really sad as a mother. First of all, I want to express my apology to your family. It is our family who came forward to borrow money. If we don't do it now, our mother-in-law is hospitalized. I I feel bad too. Your father passed away sooner or later, and you can't be blamed. I have to make it clear today. Guanhua Yaping can't think like this in the future. In the end, it's our fault. Duty, your mother was here that day, if I didn't say things that go too far, I wouldn't cause your mother to have a stroke. Li Juan, the money we owe is not bad. Now we have no money to pay back. We have worked hard to save for a few years, and we will definitely pay it back. Maybe the interest can't be paid that much, but the principal will be given to the in-laws. Please rest assured. You see, Yaping's salary is not low now. Let's work hard together for two or three years! The money will come out. After all, we are a family. We still have to meet in the future. Tell your in-laws that I am here to make amends." Sitting on the sofa, Yaping's mother bowed deeply to Li Juan who insisted on standing against the wall and refused to sit down.

Guanhua and Yaping were dumbfounded in front of their humble mother, not knowing how to react.Yaping looked at Lijuan eagerly, how he hoped that Lijuan would immediately extend a friendly hand, take what his mother said, and settle the suspicion.Guanhua is also eagerly looking forward to Lijuan taking back her words to go to court. Li Juan lowered her head coldly and remained silent.There was no reaction. "Child, what do you think..." Yaping's mother kept observing Li Juan with her inquiring eyes. After a long while, Li Juan spoke: "You are speaking for Guanhua, right? Are you insincere? Why do you hate me? Is your purpose of saying these words to beg me not to sue me?" She? Can't tell? Why do you have to go around such a big detour and stuff it with honey and sugar?" Li Juan didn't even look at her mother-in-law.Staring at the refrigerator in the distance.

Yaping's mother sighed and said: "It's easy to get knotted and hard to solve! No matter what your intentions are, you will think of me in a bad way. I really think about it from the perspective of a family. I don't want this family to be scattered like this." Yes. The child has not come into the world, so I can’t lose my mother. Money is a trivial matter, and it’s hard to stay in love!” Li Juan lowered her head and looked at her toes, and said, "How can a child be without a mother when he comes into this world? He crawled out of my stomach. He will only be without a father, not a mother. You seem to have recognized this child." Just go home with you!" Yaping became anxious, "What do you mean? Lijuan? Do you want to break up with me? Just because of this little money?" Li Juan still lowered her head, and said calmly, "It's not interesting. You're quite smart. I think the two families have reached this level, so there's no need to squeeze under one roof." Calculate the accounts clearly and divide them! This is not a little money, it is a lot of money. This is not my money, it is my mother's and brother's money. It is not up to me whether to sue or not. The IOU is also there They have it. As for the method of repaying the money your mother said, I disagree. Why should we pay back the money your sister borrowed? No matter how much we earn, it belongs to both of us. It has nothing to do with your mother or your sister. Your family The problem is that the group is so tight that you can't tell the inside from the outside. The money is a sum. At the beginning, your sister borrowed it, and she should pay it back. If she still doesn't, please, if we help her Also, that's our affection, not what it should be. What right does your mother have to be the master of my family's money?" There was silence. Yaping's mother opened her mouth again: "Li Juan! What you say, the water you pour out, the words are cold in March! If you hurt someone, you can't make up for it. Logically speaking, the IOU also says financing. It's true. The court is going to judge, not necessarily how to judge. Even if Guanhua is sentenced to lose money, she has to pay. Recently, the efficiency of the work unit of the couple is poor, and it is very likely that both of them will be laid off. What about paying back the money? A scar the size of a bowl was dropped on the head, and it was urgent. The three of them even wiped their necks and hanged themselves, but they still couldn’t pay. It doesn’t mean that you will be happy when you look at it? Let’s not talk about the family, it’s just ordinary Man, seeing how pitiful the situation is, I can’t reach out to ask for money! Mom is here to reason with you, and I beg you, for the sake of knowing each other, don’t push too hard. We are grateful for your kindness. " Yaping walked up to Li Juan, took Li Juan's hand in a half-squatting and humble attitude, raised his face and begged, "Juan! We still have children, how can we split up? Don't worry, I will work hard to earn money. Go, we must not let our mother and brother suffer. Tell me something!" Li Juan was silent for a long time, and said, "I don't owe me the money. You have to tell my mother and brother about the apology and the way to pay. No matter who pays it back in the end, in front of others, you have to say Yu Guanhua Still. It’s okay. I went to bed. I’m tired. Yaping, I hope you don’t howl in the middle of the night. I can’t sleep for a few days. Your father is dead, and your child is still alive. Let me sleep tonight Good night." Standing up, ready to go upstairs. "Then...your father's funeral will be held tomorrow. Look, do you want to go together?" Yaping's mother quickly followed up carefully. Li Juan didn't respond at all, as if she didn't hear her. Early the next morning, Li Juan put on a sullen face, changed into mourning clothes, and followed the portrait to the funeral home.There was no reluctance or reluctance, but the stern and rigid facial expression matched the atmosphere of the funeral. Three days later, Yaping's mother led the whole family, including her son-in-law and grandson, to Lijuan's house with cakes. Li Juan's mother was still lying on the bed and had trouble walking.As soon as Yaping's mother entered the door, facing Lijuan's mother's stern eyes, she stepped forward with a sharp knife.Putting down the gift, she leaned against Li Juan's mother's bed, and apologized softly and shamelessly.The sincerity of the attitude and the humbleness of the behavior made Yaping unbearable.Fortunately, Li Juan's mother has seen the big world, and she is unmoved: "Don't do this with me. Our two families have broken up. Who knows who you are! See you in court. We still have to Including my mental loss, hospitalization expenses, everything. The account must be settled, you go! Take things away, I don't like it." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and yelled at the visitor. Yaping's face was flushed, he didn't know whether it was anger or embarrassment, but he couldn't restrain himself and was about to explode.Yaping's mother stopped Yaping from speaking in time with winks.Guanhua's family was honest and honest, not saying a word.Even the mischievous children were too scared to say a word. Li Juan's brother stood up decisively at this time and said: "The accident has already happened, and we can only solve it in a positive way. Auntie, talk about the money slowly. I can't say I don't want it. After all, I have to live in Shanghai. You Pay it back as much as possible, and we won’t urge you, pay it back when you have it! The biggest loss this time is people. Yaping’s father, and my mother, it’s not worth making such a fuss over this little money. Everyone We are all one family, so we don’t talk about the two families. On behalf of my mother, I accept your apology and reconcile! Dad! How about a few cups of tea?” Li Juan's mother wanted to argue, but was suppressed by Li Juan's hand: "Isn't it just a little money, people are more important than money? As long as you live, you have to enjoy it! In three to five years, 100,000 will be waste paper. Just grab and grab. Why are you so upset? Stop arguing. This is my sister's mother-in-law, so you should show some face." After hearing what my brother-in-law said, Yaping was very grateful. The money thing is over.
