It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when we left the nursing home. After getting in the car, the little stinky baby sat obediently in his mother's arms without making any more fuss about being in his grandfather's arms.
Originally, Uncle Wang planned to go with him, but after thinking about it, he decided to go there two days later. He had to discuss some things with some old comrades here before he could leave. Otherwise, he would have to run back and forth, which would be very troublesome.
.
"Dad Chu, I heard from my grandma that it seemed that Grandpa Mu's granddaughter found her two days ago and wanted my grandma to tell you what kind of favor she could do for her."
Wang Yueyue, who was sitting in the back row playing with the little stinky baby, suddenly thought of something and said.
"Who? Mu Lao's granddaughter? I didn't hear your grandma mention this."
Li Chu glanced behind him through the rearview mirror.
"My grandma declined her politely. Grandma said it was definitely not a good thing. Otherwise, Grandpa Mu could tell you directly, why would he come to you through her? It's not like Grandpa Mu doesn't know you."
Hey, Aunt Wang thinks clearly.
"Dad Chu, you know what's going on, right?"
"Well, I know, she came to me before about the treatment of the disease her grandfather had. She wanted me to treat a few more patients, and then she could write a paper and publish it in a foreign academic journal."
"Tsk, who does she think she is!" Wang Yueyue said with a look of disdain upon hearing this.
"I just studied abroad for two years. I really don't know how high the world is."
Li Chu glanced at his daughter-in-law again through the rearview mirror, smiled, shook his head and remained silent.
…
"Brother Chu"
"Zhuzi? Why are you here? Come in."
Li Chu, who had just sent away a patient who was engrossed in writing something down, was raised up by a voice.
He Yuzhu glanced at Nurse Xiao Zhou in the consulting room, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Chu, I'm not going in. Can you come out for a while? I'll say a few words and then leave."
Li Chu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, you wait for me outside for a while, I will write down something."
In my impression, He Yuzhu hasn't come to see him since he divorced Cui Chunmei, and I don't know what the reason for coming here today is.
“Okay”
After finishing writing the medical record of the patient just now, he put down his pen and explained it to Xiao Zhou, then walked out of the consulting room and walked outside through the side door with He Yuzhu who was standing at the door.
"What's the matter, Zhuzi, why did you come to see me?" Li Chu felt a little emotional when he saw that He Yuzhu had aged a lot after not seeing him for more than half a year.
"It's not a big deal." He Yuzhu took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it over.
"Brother Chu, I would like to trouble you to help give this money to Chunmei, saying that this is my child support."
Li Chu lowered his head and glanced at the pile of money. It looked like four to five hundred yuan at least.
"Why don't you go over and give it to her yourself?"
"Brother Chu," He Yuzhu said with a bitter smile: "Chunmei doesn't even want to see my face now. She hides when she sees her. I came to you because I really had no choice."
"I heard that you still owe money to the famine. Where did you get the money?"
"This is... I sold my house and plan to go to the south with Sister Qin. She will accompany her son there and we can see each other once a month. I plan to find a hotel to work there. I heard that there are jobs there.
There are more people buying and selling than here, and you can make more money."
"Then if you give all your money to your children, how will you live there?"
"To tell you the truth, I still have some money here. The house was sold for 700 yuan, and I kept 200 yuan. This is 500 yuan."
He Yuzhu paused and continued: "If I stabilize over there, I will write you a letter to tell you about the situation, and if possible, I will send you some money every month. You can help me then."
Give the money to Chunmei."
Still somewhat responsible. Li Chu nodded secretly in his heart.
"Okay, since you said so, I will help you." He stretched out his hand to take the money and nodded it in front of He Yuzhu. Five hundred yuan a piece was a lot.
"Zhuzi, do you regret it?"
"Uh..." He Yuzhu was stunned by the question, and an indescribable expression appeared on his face.
"Brother Chu, everything has already happened, what's the point of talking about it anymore."
"I remember that time you brought Qin Huairu to see me for medical treatment, and I reminded you. What did you say at that time? Was it because Chunmei was not good to you, or was your son not cute enough, or was it Chunmei who brought you two children?
A daughter who doesn’t recognize you? Why do you want to live a good life and have your wife and children separated?"
He Yuzhu stood there with his head lowered and silent. He didn't know what to say.
Do you regret it?
How could he not regret it? He himself didn't understand what evil possessed him at that time, and why he couldn't refuse Qin Huairu.
He had thought through many possibilities at that time, and even thought about how he would kneel down and beg for mercy if Chunmei found out.
But the only thing he didn't expect was that Chunmei's temper was so fierce that she wouldn't even listen to an explanation and wanted a divorce. If she didn't get a divorce, she would go to the police station.
What does this make him do?
The situation at that time was that in the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone in the same room. It was impossible for anyone to believe that nothing happened between them.
"Alas" He Yuzhu sighed and said in a low tone: "Brother Chu, let's not talk about it now. It doesn't help whether you regret it or not. I just hope that Chunmei and the child can live well in the future.
"
"You don't have to worry about this. My four mothers are living very well now. You don't know it yet, but your son's surname is Cui now."
"She..." He Yuzhu's face turned red when he heard this, but he didn't know what to say.
The son he had cherished for most of his life now had someone else's surname. How could he not feel uncomfortable, but who could blame him?
"You should be glad that your son's surname is Cui now. If he had another surname, haha..."
Murder and heart-wrenching.
Li Chu's words one after another almost sent He Yuzhu away. If he hadn't been in good health, he would have vomited two liters of blood as a sign of respect.
He raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Let's work hard when we go to the south. It should be easier to make money there than here. At that time, there were only a few people of our generation in the courtyard who had families."
Okay, I'll give him one more blow at the end.
If he hadn't known that he was no match and that this was someone else's territory, He Yuzhu would have wanted to have a fight with Li Chu here.
"I won't tell you anymore, I'm leaving."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation. He was afraid that if he took a step slower, he would be pissed to death today.
Li Chu didn't call him, just stood there and watched He Yuzhu walk away with a smile.
