In the pouring rain, Tang Qing and Li Li faced each other.
Tang Qing's face was full of anger.
Li Li's face was ashen.
The two people's umbrellas all fell to the ground, and they were completely ignored by the heavy rain.
The plastic bag of money and several bank cards that Li Li handed to Tang Qing were scattered all over the ground along with the fruits and vegetables. They were colorful and beautiful.
Tang Qing was so angry that if it wasn't for the heavy rain that made her calm down a little, she would have rushed over and slapped Li Li's mouth at all costs, or he would have taken out a razor and shaved her into a golden hair.
Li Li looked like a lost soul. Although her face was rigid and cold, her big beautiful eyes were obviously empty and lifeless. She first looked at Tang Qing in horror, but when she saw Tang Qing glaring at her, she didn't dare to look at her again. Tang Qing.
Seeing Li Li's appearance, Tang Qing's mind flashed back to what his eldest mother-in-law had said, saying that she was sorry for Li Li.
Is there really a hidden secret in it?
But Tang Qingyu's anger remained, and she sternly questioned Li Li:
"Li Li, don't think that being rich is a big deal!"
Li Li did not respond to Tang Qing and stood silently in the heavy rain.
Tang Qing then cursed:
"Do you think the eldest mother-in-law does it because of money? My parents and I do it because of money? Let me tell you, the eldest mother-in-law just wants to spend the New Year at home with her relatives and have a reunion year!"
Li Li remained silent.
Tang Qing continued to curse:
"Do you think you, Li Zapo, are great because you have money? You always use money to dominate others? Don't think that everyone only sees money like you!"
Li Li remained silent.
Tang Qing became more and more angry as he scolded. He raised his hand and pointed at Li Li's nose, angrily saying:
"Li Li, Li Zapo, my eldest mother-in-law's days are running out. She doesn't want to die alone in the orphanage. She wants to see you, a relative, for the last time. Is this wrong? Are you still a human being? You don't want to see her either. Forget it, why do you want to use money to treat your mother-in-law? To treat me? To treat my parents? In what way do they feel sorry for you? "
Li Li was shaken, raised her head, looked at Tang Qing with her big, blank eyes, and asked in a low voice:
"What did you say? What's wrong with the eldest mother-in-law? Why doesn't she have much time left?"
Tang Qing wiped the rain off his face and answered Li Li loudly:
"Li Zapo, don't pretend to be a filial daughter. If the eldest mother-in-law hadn't supported you and wanted to see you for the last time, she would have died in the orphanage long ago!"
"What? What did you say?!"
Li Li rushed to Tang Qing, her big beautiful eyes full of fear.
Tang Qing glanced at Li Li with disdain and said:
"Li Zapo, don't pretend to be innocent in front of me. Let me tell you, the doctor said that if grandma didn't have a kind of spiritual support, she wouldn't be able to survive this year."
"Grandma!"
Li Li fell to her knees with a plop and cried loudly.
Tang Qing also shed tears. She looked at Li Li kneeling in front of her, the anger in her heart gradually extinguished, and her tone of questioning Li Li softened slightly.
"Did you know? My eldest mother-in-law has been reflecting back on herself these days. She keeps saying she's sorry for you and wants to see you!"
"Grandma!"
Li Li cried bitterly.
"Can you please stop crying in front of me? If you want to cry, go cry to the eldest mother-in-law!"…
Tang Qing's heart began to soften.
"Grandma!"
Li Li couldn't help knocking her head to the ground, and the water splashed onto Tang Qing's body.
"Get up and follow me into the house to meet the eldest mother-in-law."
Tang Qing leaned down and reached out to help Li Li.
Li Li grabbed Tang Qing's hands and cried even harder. As she cried, she told Tang Qing intermittently:
"Qingtuan, I don't dare to see her, I don't dare, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
Tang Qing hugged Li Li's trembling body, confirmed that there was a secret relationship between Li Li and the eldest mother-in-law, and asked softly:
"Li Li, why don't you dare to see your mother-in-law? Why are you afraid? Tell me, tell me quickly."
"I don't dare to see her, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
Li Li's body trembled even more violently. Tang Qing helped her up and walked to her small courtyard, but when she reached the door, Li Li refused to go in despite any words.
Tang Qing had to knock on the door and ask his father to come out.
Tang Qing's father opened the door and saw the scene in front of him. He couldn't help being surprised and asked Tang Qing:
"What's going on?"
"Don't ask too many questions first. Go and clean up the things on the floor."
"Oh, okay."
Tang Qing's father rushed into the rain and picked up the banknotes, bank cards, fruits and vegetables scattered on the ground, as well as the two red umbrellas and black umbrellas facing up to the sky.
"Dad, you take back the fruits and vegetables I bought first, and I'll take Li Li back."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
"I called Bao, he will be here soon."
"That's good, that's good."
"Don't tell my eldest mother-in-law that Li Li has been here yet, wait until I come back."
"Okay, okay, I know it, don't worry."
While he was talking, the inquiring rickshaw rushed to the entrance of the small courtyard.
"Master Jiujin, get in the car quickly."
"good!"
Tang Qing helped Li Li get into the rickshaw that Bao asked.
Along the way, Li Li's body was trembling. Tang Qing hugged her tightly in his arms, holding Li Li's hand tightly with both hands.
Li Li's hand was cold to the bone, and Tang Qing's hot tears fell on it without any reaction.
The heavy rain continued to fall with no sign of stopping, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road.
When they arrived at the door of the Li family's old house, Bao Dawen was already sweating profusely and his whole body was soaked, but Li Li had passed out.
"Master Jiujin, do you want to send him to the hospital?"
"No, go home and change your clothes quickly. Be careful of catching a cold."
"Master Jiujin, I'd better wait for you here."
"It's really not necessary. Just go home quickly. Don't worry."
"Master Jiujin, please take care of yourself. I'll go back and change clothes first."
After Bao inquired and returned, Tang Qing found the key to the Li family's old house from Li Li's handbag, opened the door, and helped Li Li in.
The Li family's old house was quiet and deep in the heavy rain. Tang Qing first helped Li Li sit down on the imperial chair in the middle courtyard, then ran out and closed the door, and then helped Li Li to her room in the backyard.
Turning on the hot air conditioner, he took off Li Li's soaked clothes, dried her body, put on her pajamas and pajamas, and covered her with a quilt. Tang Qing was sweating profusely.
The hot sweat on the body and the rain-drenched clothes stick together, making it as uncomfortable as possible. But Tang Qing couldn't care less, and stood beside the bed eagerly praying to Li Li, hoping that she would wake up early...
There was silence inside the house, except for the sound of heavy rain outside the blue brick and stone windows.
Seeing that Li Li would not wake up for a while, Tang Qing wanted to open the door and go to the kitchen to boil some hot water. As soon as he opened the door, a cold wind blew and he couldn't help but sneeze.
"I, I, where am I?"
Li Li's faint shout came from the bed.
"You, you, you woke up?"
Tang Qing closed the door and ran to the bed to ask.
"Did you send me back?"
Li Li moved and wanted to get up.
"You should have a good sleep first, and I'll boil some hot water for you."
Tang Qing went over to hold Li Li's shoulders and covered her with a quilt.
Li Li grabbed Tang Qing's hands and refused to let her leave.
"Hurry up and change your clothes. The clothes are in the closet. You can choose them yourself."
"Okay, let me change my clothes first, then you can lie down and sleep."
"Let me see you change."
"Look at me? Then I won't change."
"Okay, I'm going to sleep. You change your clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold."
Li Li closed her eyes and Tang Qing went to the closet to look for clothes.
Grandma, you are such a bear, you, Granny Li, are too extravagant, aren't you? You don't live in this old house of the Li family all the time, so why do you keep so many clothes?
Facing a row of wardrobes filled with all kinds of clothes, Tang Qing couldn't help but scold Li Li a few times.
After looking back and forth for a long time but unable to pick out a piece of clothing that suited him, Tang Qing simply closed the closet door, walked out of the room and went to the kitchen to get busy.
He first boiled hot water and then made ginger sugar tea for Li Li, but Tang Qing's own body was shivering with cold.
"Go and change quickly."
Li Li stood behind Tang Qing.
"Don't worry, drink this ginger sugar tea first to get rid of the cold."
Tang Qing brought a cup of hot ginger sugar tea to Li Li.
"Qingtuan, I will tell you everything, tell you!"
Li Li took the ginger tea from Tang Qing, her eyes filled with tears, and she burst into tears.
