Whenever Su Mi leaves her sight, she will become nervous, panicked, and look for people everywhere.
Su Mi could understand her mother's mood and stayed with her as much as possible.
Later, I simply moved to Shi Yihan's room at night and asked Uncle Chao to set up a small bed next to it.
She lost the qualification to perform filial piety for twenty years.
My mother also lost twenty years of happiness.
This time, she must make her mother get better quickly.
***
Early in the morning, the rare sunshine in Jingzhou was bright and the weather was very good.
Su Mi helped Shi Yihan out of the bedroom and downstairs.
In the past few days, Su Mi has been wanting to take Shi Yihan out.
Zong Lu said that in the past 20 years, Shi Yihan had basically not left the house except for going to the hospital for review.
Even when I occasionally go to the hospital, I sit in a car and never have any contact with the outside world, let alone communicate with outsiders.
Almost all of them stay at home.
She wanted her mother to go out and see the fireworks in the world, bask in the sun, and breathe fresh air.
It will also help her condition.
But Shi Yihan just refused to live or die.
After persuading for a long time last night, Shi Yihan reluctantly agreed for the sake of her daughter.
Zong Lu and Huo Shenxiu were waiting downstairs and were going out with their mother and daughter today.
Zong Lu did not expect that his mother, who had not left the house much for twenty years, would actually be persuaded by Su Mi to leave the house in just a few days.
This girl is really good at coaxing people.
He watched Su Mi carrying Shi Yihan downstairs, and couldn't help but joke: "Mom, it seems the little cotton-padded jacket is the most important thing."
Huo Shenxiu said calmly: "That's right. At best, my son is just a leather jacket. How important is a little cotton-padded jacket."
Shi Yihan looked at Su Mi curiously: "...Mimi, what do you mean?"
Seeing that her mother was rarely interested in asking questions, Su Mi hurriedly explained: "You can wear a cotton-padded jacket when it's cold, and you can take it off when it's hot. But what about the leather jacket..."
As he said that, he smiled sheepishly at Zong Lu:
"When it's cold, it won't stop the cold. When it's hot, it's too hot. Throw it away. It's a bit expensive and I can't bear to part with it. Don't throw it away. It takes up space."
Shi Yihan couldn't help laughing.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her smiling.
"The car is ready, let's go." Zong Lu went over, took over from Su Mi, helped Shi Yihan, and went out first.
Today, four of us went out together, plus Uncle Chao and Zong’s driver, and drove a seven-seater SUV.
Because it was Shi Yihan's first official outing, Su Mi didn't dare to go too far, so she discussed it with Zong Lu and went to a small park not far from Zong's house.
…
When we arrived at the park, the sun was just right.
Uncle Chao and the driver helped spread picnic mats on the lawn and put various picnic snacks on them.
In the distance, there are many young children playing in the company of their parents, and the sound of laughter floats like nature.
When Shi Yihan first got out of the car, he was extremely uncomfortable. If his children hadn't been with him, he would have wanted to hide in the car.
Slowly, I was moved by the surrounding environment.
Be willing to sit down.
He also took the initiative to ask Su Mi, what is that, what is this.
Su Mi patiently explained everything to her.
Gradually, Shi Yihan relaxed and a smile spread across his face.
In the end, I was attracted by the beautiful man-made river in front of me and pointed towards it:
"Mimi, it's so beautiful there."
Su Mi just said, "Can I accompany you to take pictures?"
Shi Yihan nodded hurriedly.
Su Mi glanced at Zong Lu and Huo Shenxiu, then accompanied her mother to go there first.
Huo Shenxiu stretched out his legs and sat on the lawn, staring at the backs of mother and daughter. He rested his arms on both sides of his body and listened to the voice next to him:
"Huo Dong is so busy, but he left everything behind to stay with Mimi in the Zong family. You are so thoughtful."
Huo Shenxiu's eyelids twitched.
Even though he knew his relationship with Mimi, he stayed at Zong's house for several days, but Zong Lu still called himself Huo Dong.
To be clear, I never thought of him as one of my own.
Also, these words... really made him sound unkind.
His eyes darkened a little, and he pondered: "Young Master Zong wants to drive me away, right?"
"Of course not. It's just that you have been staying here with Mimi. For those who don't know, you thought our clan had hired a son-in-law."
Huo Shenxiu's eyebrows narrowed and he laughed.
What is this, just to drive away guests and attack your own dignity?
This brother-in-law is quite bad at what he says.
It's a pity that he doesn't mind.
A son-in-law who comes to your door is a son-in-law who comes to your door.
He said calmly: "Is there any problem with the son-in-law who comes to your door? As long as the Zong family can afford it, I can come to your door at any time."
Zong Lu saw that in order to stay by Su Mi's side, he was very thick-skinned and his eyes moved slightly, so he said directly:
"If Mr. Huo is very busy, he can go and do his own business first. This is Mimi's home, and we will naturally take good care of her."
"I'm not busy."
When Zong Lu saw that he insisted on staying, he didn't bother to say anything even though he didn't have enough food and salt.
He didn't speak, but Huo Shenxiu had something to say. He turned his head and looked at him faintly:
"Master Zong seems to have a lot of opinions about me?"
From the first day I moved into the Zong family, I was indescribably indifferent.
Now he is also making things difficult in every possible way.
Still want him to leave.
Mimi said that everyone’s personality is different, and some people are just slow to warm up.
But Zong Lu obviously didn't treat him this way because of his slowness.
Since the two of them have a chance to talk privately today, let's just make things clear.
Zong Lu raised his eyebrows, picked up the banana on the plate and peeled it:
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Huo Shenxiu raised his hand to hold his half-peeled banana, pulled it away, and threw it aside:
"Between men, just be honest. Tell me directly where I have offended you."
Only then did Zong Lu look at him:
"You failed to protect Mimi well, and she almost died because of your revenge. You also let her live alone for four years with her sick little Subao."
"After you let me, as your brother, know this, how should I treat you?"
"Also, Huo Dong is very aware of his current situation and is on probation. I believe that no brother in the world wants the man next to his sister to be a prisoner, right?"
"Besides, you and Mimi have nothing to do with each other now. As an outsider, do you need me to be more affectionate to you?"
"Based on the above, I consider my attitude towards you to be very restrained and well-educated."
Huo Shenxiu stared at him: "Is this why you dislike me? Is it that simple?"
Seeing his deep and sharp eyes, Zong Lu took another banana and peeled it: "Otherwise? How complicated would it be?"
Huo Shenxiu pondered for a moment, then took the banana away from his hand again and threw it away.
On the side, Uncle Chao silently watched the confrontation between the two men. The young master just couldn't eat the banana today.
Zong Lu lost his patience: "What else do you want?"
Huo Shenxiu said every word:
"Mimi has given me a chance to make amends, so I hope her family can give me a chance too."
"Mimi and I's wedding is already being prepared in Tancheng. Please hand her over to me again. This time, I won't let her go."
"You are one of her most important family members. I hope that the Zong family will also show up. If you are still angry and unwilling, I can apologize until you are willing to sincerely bless us."
