"Bingkun, don't be anxious first." Zhou Bingyi took two steps back, thinking that he was at a safe distance. "You can think about it. When Zhou Rong sent his daughter back to Jichun, maybe it was because the rural conditions were too difficult for her.
Why don’t you want your children to suffer hardships?”
"No." Zhou Bingkun shook his head and denied: "Zhou Rong's living conditions are not bad, and it's not like she hasn't told her family about her conditions. Even if the conditions in the countryside are a little worse than in the city, she should also understand that children
No matter who you leave it to, it is better to grow up with your parents."
"How come Zhou Rong's conditions are not bad? She said herself that her conditions are not bad, so just believe it. She just doesn't want to make you worry, so she doesn't want to tell you the real situation. She has always told me that her conditions are difficult.
If her conditions were really not bad, would I still have supported her with ten yuan a month for so many years?"
In order to prove that Zhou Rong had a difficult life and poor conditions, Zhou Bingyi cited sufficient evidence, but it also allowed Zhou Bingkun to discover Hua Dian.
"Zhou Bingyi, didn't I tell you in a letter? Because Zhou Rong ran away from home, our mother almost cried her eyes out and refused to let you send money to Zhou Rong. You also promised me well. How can you
Send her money?" As he said this, Zhou Bingkun walked to Zhou Bingyi and wanted to continue to teach Zhou Bingyi a lesson.
When he first knew that his relationship with Zhou Bingyi was not as deep as the brother-sister relationship between Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, and they were inseparable from each other, when he first persuaded Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Bingkun even caught my mother's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bengyi promised well in the letter, but secretly sent money to Zhou Rong secretly.
Zhou Bingkun even caught Li Suhua's eyes, but it was of no use.
No wonder Zhou Rong felt that even when Zhou Rong first arrived in Guizhou, Zhou Bingkun thought that Zhou Rong's life was quite free and unrestrained. Food and clothing were not a problem, and she had the leisure to write short essays describing the scenery of Guizhou for her family.
This could be regarded as Zhou Bingkun being stabbed in the back severely by Zhou Bingyi. His purpose of wanting Zhou Rong to endure hardship in the countryside was greatly reduced after Zhou Bingyi's monthly support of ten yuan.
"Bingkun, don't worry."
Zhou Bingyi took two more steps back until he reached the wall, unable to retreat.
"Zhou Rong, that beast, made my mother almost blind. You sent her money, so you don't want me to worry?" Zhou Bingkun squeezed Zhou Bingyi against the wall and slapped Zhou Bingyi's mouth.
Zi, asked: "Now that your face is swollen, are you not worried?"
In order to exert more force this time, Zhou Bingkun took off his gloves and slapped him on the face. Zhou Bingyi immediately became anxious:
"Zhou Bingkun, you still dare to take action. This is the gate of Courtyard No. 1. Do you believe I'm calling someone?"
"Shout, you can shout as much as you want, can you let the guard arrest me or what? You two have such big mouths, you are so anxious when your face is swollen, our mother is almost blind, why don't I see you anxious?"
, are you still going to send money to Zhou Rong who made our mother blind?"
Zhou Bingyi was not one to be aggressive, reasonable and unreasonable. Finally, he and Zhou Bingkun gave in and tried to play the emotional card: "Bingkun, you have to understand me. Your sister and we are brothers and sisters. Your sister said she was going to starve to death.
Can I ignore her? Don’t say it’s me, it’s just your fault. If your sister tells you this, can you ignore her?”
"I can." Zhou Bingkun said with certainty. Zhou Rong ate bran-stained vegetables and suffered from hunger. This was what Zhou Bingkun expected to see.
Zhou Bingyi started to preach and talked non-stop. He didn't even pay attention to what Zhou Bingkun was saying. He just understood: "You can't just ignore it, right? Even if Zhou Rong makes a big mistake, as her brothers, we will
Can you just ignore her? It's impossible to ignore her, they are all from the same mother..."
"Zhou Bingyi, you heard me clearly, I said I can ignore Zhou Rong. I really don't care if I say I don't care. I was the one who sent the child back to her in the first place."
Zhou Bingyi paused for two seconds: "That's even more true. There are only three brothers and sisters in our family. You have left Zhou Rong alone. I can't just ignore it. I can't just watch her starve to death."
!”
Seeing Zhou Bingyi unrepentant and feeling satisfied that he had done the right thing for Zhou Rong, Zhou Bingkun was too lazy to persuade him and just wanted to kick Zhou Bingyi again, causing Zhou Bingyi to fall completely into the pit of Zhou Rong's family:
"If you want to take care of her, then take care of her. It's best to take care of Zhou Rong for the rest of her life. Her biggest problem now is that she doesn't want to raise a daughter. I suggest you that if you want to help Zhou Rong, you can start by helping Zhou Rong raise her daughter."
"Zhou Bingkun, your ideological problem is really serious now. Can you think about the good things about people? Do you think human nature is evil? Can you think about the good things about your sister? She is doing this because of the poor conditions in the countryside.
She sent the child back, and now she is going back to the city soon, how could she not want to raise her own daughter?" Zhou Bingyi said with a serious face.
"I'm not interested in discussing with you whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil. I'm not sure about other people, but Zhou Rong is definitely right in the worst case scenario."
In terms of selfishness, Zhou Rong has achieved the ultimate.
Talking about Zhou Rong, Zhou Bingyi was not happy to hear it anymore: "That's enough... You came to me this time. Have you finished saying what you want to say? After you finish speaking, you can go back."
"I have finished speaking, but the answer you gave me makes it impossible for me to go back. There is no accurate answer. I can't explain it to myself, and I can't explain it to my mother when I go back. How do you want me to go back?"
"Okay, I'll take your sister-in-law back tomorrow. It'll be almost noon or late at night. We will definitely go back. At least I will definitely go back tomorrow night." The more Zhou Bingyi said, the less confident he became.
"Okay, this is considered as my trip was not in vain. I have an explanation to my mother when I get home."
What Li Suhua cares about is only Zhou Bengyi's return. Li Suhua doesn't care whether Hao Dongmei returns or not.
Hao Dongmei was asked to go back, but Zhou Bingkun couldn't stand Zhou Bingyi's submissiveness to his daughter-in-law's family, so he added her there privately.
Seeing that Zhou Bingkun still had no intention of leaving, Zhou Bingyi finally made a promise: "Leave it to me to coordinate who will take care of mom in the future. You don't have to worry about it anymore. When it's time to start school, you should go to school.
When you go to Beijing, it’s time to go to school, you don’t have to worry about these things.”
"Wouldn't it be over if you said so earlier? I'm leaving. You can go back and take good care of your Taishan Taishui."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, he gave Zhou Bingyi three slaps to relieve the anger in his heart. The satisfied Zhou Bingkun rode his bicycle and went home humming a song.
…
As soon as Zhou Bingkun got home, before he took off his coat, gloves, hat, and scarf, Li Suhua asked anxiously: "Bingkun, have you seen your brother?"
"I saw him, and he promised to come back tomorrow. If he doesn't come back at noon, he will definitely come back tomorrow night."
"Bingkun, don't you like to go to the black market to buy things? Tomorrow you go to the black market again to see if there are any good things. Buy some chicken, duck and goose meat." Li Suhua immediately started organizing for Zhou Bingyi's return.
.
"What kind of black market are you going to? I don't have time to go there. Don't you like me to go to the black market the most? Besides, Zhou Bingyi is at his father-in-law's mother-in-law's house. What are the conditions? If he can't eat what he wants, does he still care about what he eats at our house?
Just boil some cabbage and radish and have a meal."
Of course Zhou Bingkun was not happy to prepare things for Zhou Bingyi.
"Zhou Bingkun, why are you so hard to hire now? Mom wants to use it but you can't. You don't even have to go to work. What else will you do tomorrow?"
"I'm going to the train station tomorrow to buy a train ticket. While there aren't many people taking the train during this period, I'll go back and forth to Beijing."
"Didn't you start school in the next year? Are you going to Beijing now?"
"After the New Year, our family of three will go to Beijing. I can live in the school dormitory. Zheng Juan and her children must have a place to live. I plan to go there first and arrange a place for our family of three to live in the future."
Zhou Bingkun's reasons were very good, and Li Suhua was helpless.
Because when Zhou Bingyi came back for the first time, Li Suhua had already used up all the meat tickets at home.
The next day, I could only prepare some dried vegetables, pickles, sauerkraut, and winter vegetables for Zhou Bingyi to eat. The only meat-based food was meat oil.
Zhou Bingyi went back to Lao Zhou's house alone in the evening, when it was already dark.
If he doesn't come back, he won't come back, but after he came back, Zhou Bingyi was really enthusiastic about Li Suhua.
"Oh, the sauerkraut made by you is still delicious. After all these years, my favorite food is still the dishes made by you."
"If you like it, why don't you come back home to live there? When you come home, mom can cook for you every day."
Although Li Suhua always seemed fine on the surface, it was clear from these words that Li Suhua had no objections to Zhou Bingyi living in his father-in-law's house.
"Haha, it's not like Mom, you have to work too hard to cook for me every day." Zhou Bingyi said with a smile.
"It's not hard for Mom to cook. From now on, you can study with peace of mind. Mom will cook for you at home and help you with the logistics." Li Suhua waved her hand and said proudly.
"Brother, I forgot to tell you yesterday. My mother and I have also communicated. Among our three brothers and sisters, our mother is still more willing to take care of you."
Zhou Bingkun, who had been silent all the time, informed Zhou Bingyi of the good news.
"Mom, do you want to live with me in the future?" Zhou Bingyi asked with a hopeful look on his face, expecting Li Suhua to deny it.
"Mom has been living with Bingkun for so many years, but she has never taken care of you. Of course she wants to take care of you more now. While mom is still in good health in the past two years, you can hurry up and have a child. Mom can still help you take care of you.
Take care of the children." Li Suhua did not deny it and smiled happily.
"Mom, Dongmei and I have never had children. It's not that we don't want children, it's that we can't have children. There's something wrong with my body and I'm infertile."
Zhou Bingyi said with a constipated look on his face, he is a ruthless man, a grown man who can arrange for infertility for himself without any burden, and is more promising than Xu Damao and his like.
The timing of what he said was also very subtle. Zhou Bingkun couldn't help but think about it. Zhou Bingyi said it at this time because he was afraid of living with Li Suhua.
Afraid that Li Suhua would make a fuss about taking care of the child, she simply said that she couldn't have a child.
"Bah." Li Suhua was shocked, letting go of the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and falling directly onto the kang. Then she said tremblingly: "Bingyi, when did this happen? Have you been to the hospital?"
?"
"I've been to the hospital. The doctor said that this disease cannot be cured." Zhou Bingyi said in a low voice.
"Bingyi, how come your life is so miserable!" As he spoke, Li Suhua burst into tears.
Zhou Bingyi was really kind to Hao Dongmei, and he was really cruel to the Zhou family. Just like that, without any expectation, he dumped the news on Li Suhua's head, without considering the old lady's ability to admit it. In this great sadness, the person was whipped directly.
what to do.
"Mom, it's okay. My brother used to be in the Corps, and there were only a few hospitals there, so medical treatment may not be accurate. Now it's good to go back to the city. We have so many hospitals in Jichun, and we can take my brother with us again.
Go for a checkup and then see a doctor."
Zhou Bingkun was really afraid that Li Suhua would become anxious, so he hurriedly persuaded her.
"Yes, we can also seek medical treatment at the hospitals in Jichun, the Provincial People's Hospital, the Municipal Hospital, and the Military Hospital. These many hospitals can definitely help you treat you." Li Suhua murmured, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
"After coming back in the past few days, I have been to all the major hospitals in Jichun and have been diagnosed, but they have not been cured."
Zhou Bingkun was comforting her, while Zhou Bingyi was adding fuel to the fire, leaving no hope for Li Suhua.
"Oh my God!" Li Suhua howled and fell directly on the kang.
Seeing that Li Suhua fainted, Zhou Bingkun hurriedly came over to the kang and took Li Suhua's pulse first. He confirmed that Li Suhua was just temporarily angry. While pinching the middle of Li Suhua's body, he cursed at Zhou Bingyi:
"Zhou Bingyi, you and Zhou Rong are really brothers and sisters. Both of you are beasts. You can do whatever you want and say what you want without considering the old lady's ability to bear it?"
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Bingyi threw himself at Li Suhua's side and howled.
She also seems to be really anxious, a little stronger than Zhou Rong, and has some feelings for the old lady.
"Stop shouting, go out and borrow a trolley to take mom to the hospital."
"Okay, okay, I'll borrow the car." Without even bothering to put on his coat, Zhou Bingyi hurried out wearing a sweater.
After pinching the person a few times, Li Suhua woke up, leaned on Zhou Bingkun, and said feebly: "Bingyi, why is your life so miserable? How can your mother live like this..."
"Mom, stop talking. Take a rest and save some energy. I'll send you to the hospital right away." Then Zhou Bingkun said to Zheng Juan on the side: "Juan'er, find two quilts and come out. It's cold outside. I'll give them to Mom later."
Spread it on the car."
With Li Suhua's physical condition, she fainted. Zhou Bingkun didn't dare to worry and let Li Suhua stay at home. He had to go to the hospital to use instruments to check.
"Bingkun, I borrowed my car back."
"Take the quilt." Zhou Bingkun hugged Li Suhua and went out.
"Mom, wake up, Mom." Zhou Bingyi shouted.
"Bingyi..." Li Suhua looked at Zhou Bingyi now and just wanted to cry.
After putting Li Suhua on the cart, Zhou Bingkun interrupted the mother-son affection between the two people: "Zhou Bingyu, please stop shouting, people have made you so angry, go ahead and pull the cart."
"Where to go?"
"Provincial People's Hospital, please hurry up and walk away. I'll pack some things at home and follow you on my bike later."
