Qin Guan complained, "This morning, she insisted that you were pretending to be sick and wanted to come in. Fortunately, you have to swipe your card to enter here, so she was making a fuss outside."
Lin Jiaqiao also said: "Your mother's personality is really that kind of thing. Brother, why don't you come live at my house after you are discharged from the hospital."
Qin Guan disagreed. "You can live in my house. I have many rooms. I can accommodate Lao Gu. I'm serious, Lao Gu, Zhizhi is right. With your mother's personality, I'm really afraid that she will torture you to death one day."
Gu Yiming frowned, "She didn't interfere with Uncle Lin's work, did she? And Auntie—"
Lin Jiaqiao knew his character and tried to comfort him, "It's okay, it's okay. Who are our Mr. Lin and Ms. Qiao? They are the kind of people who can dig a hole in the sky even if it collapses. You don't have to worry about them."
But Gu Yiming also knew his mother's character very well. He said seriously: "I still have to apologize for causing you so much trouble. I—"
After all, they grew up together. Although Qin Guan despised him, he had already considered him as his own in his heart. He put his index finger on his lips and said, "You just escaped death. Don't feel sorry."
Even though he was her boyfriend, Lin Jiaqiao felt that she was glowing.
She coughed lightly and said, "Well, Sister Xiaoxu said she will be here soon."
"No, no!" Gu Yiming showed a panicked look on his face, "Don't let my mother see her!"
Qin Guan didn't understand and became nervous: "What's wrong?"
Lin Jiaqiao guessed that Gu Xiaoxu's misfortune was related to Gu's mother, and comforted her: "Don't worry, we will soon-"
Gu Yiming was still worried, so he struggled to get up, but was thrown back into bed in pain.
Qin Guan and Lin Jiaqiao had no choice but to carry him to the wheelchair, and the three of them rushed out together.
But they were a step too late, Gu Xiaoxu had already bumped into Gu's mother at the door.
After returning from the hospital, Gu Xiaoxu did not rest. She prepared food for Gu Yiming at home.
She did the same yesterday.
She could see that Gu Yiming had suffered a lot, and she thought that after he woke up, he would at least be able to have a full meal.
When the porridge was almost done, she received a call from Lin Jiaqiao, saying that Gu Yiming had woken up.
She stared at the jumping flames, cried for a while, calmed herself down, and then carried the thermos back to the hospital.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw her mother.
After being rescued, she has been receiving psychological treatment, and with the help of medication, she has almost gotten over the past that she doesn't want to remember.
But when he looked at the woman in front of him, all those dark memories came flooding back, almost making it hard for Gu Xiaoxu to breathe.
She instinctively took a step back, wanting to escape from here, but when she thought of Gu Yiming, she didn't want to leave anymore.
She took a deep breath and took out her door card, then she heard the woman say, "Hey, wait a moment."
Mother Gu didn't recognize Gu Xiaoxu at first.
They hadn't seen each other for almost ten years. Gu Xiaoxu was not doing well and was aging quickly. She looked much older than her actual age.
Her mother thought she was just an unrelated stranger at first and asked politely, "Would it be convenient for you to take me in?"
This person is always like this, only willing to show kindness to unrelated strangers.
"… My son fell in love prematurely and was deceived by his girlfriend. He even refused to let me know that he was hospitalized. I really—"
Mother Gu complained about her experiences in a wronged manner, but Gu Xiaoxu couldn't help thinking that she really hadn't changed at all.
She seemed to be never wrong, and she blamed all the injustices she suffered on the world bullying her.
Gu Xiaoxu couldn't help but wonder how she would explain her sudden disappearance to others.
In short, it's not something worth hearing.
Thinking back to the dark times he had gone through, a strong hatred surged out of him uncontrollably.
The hatred seemed to be covered with sharp thorns, and Mother Gu was stabbed hard. She looked at Gu Xiaoxu with some grievance.
That expression again.
When Gu Xiaoxu thought of what the man had done to her, her stomach churned violently and she wanted to tear herself into pieces again.
She knew very well that she shouldn't have done that, and that it would not do her any good to recognize this woman. But she just couldn't control herself, and she asked, "Mom, why didn't you save me?"
Her eyes were red, like a demon crawling out of hell. "I called you and begged you to save me. Why didn't you come?"
"You know what kind of life a dog leads?"
"He was tied up with chains, forced to kneel on the ground, and had to eat and defecate in the same room."
"I guess you don't know. How could you know? You only care about your own happiness, so why would you care about the life and death of others?"
Gu Xiaoxu's tone was very light, but Mother Gu felt as if thunder was exploding in her ears.
Because she was too flustered, she was a little scared when she saw him: "Are you, Gu Xiaoxu?"
"How will you be here?"
"You didn't marry a man from the mountains, why are you here!"
As if remembering something, she looked around and said warily, "This floor is a private ward, it's very expensive, how can you afford to come here?"
"Your family can't make ends meet anymore, so you want to come back and ask for my money!"
"I'm telling you, a daughter who's married off is like water spilled, and you can't get a penny of the family's money—"
Before she could finish her words, she was slapped in the face.
It's Ms. Joe.
Ms. Qiao also came to see Gu Yiming. After hearing these nonsense, she slapped Mrs. Gu:
"Your brain and intestines are in the wrong place. Can you please clean your mouth after using the toilet? You are here to spray feces." "Get out of here quickly. It's time to disinfect the hospital. If you die here, I will have to trouble the doctor to throw you in the trash can."
"If you don't contribute anything to society when you're alive, don't add to other people's workload after you die."
When Lin Jiaqiao and Qin Guan pushed Gu Yiming out, they heard Ms. Qiao swearing.
Mother Gu looked aggrieved again, "You, how dare you curse at me!"
The only person Ms. Qiao could tolerate in her life was Qin Guan's mother. As for the rest, she wanted to beat them to death every time she saw them.
She asked curiously, "If this is considered swearing, then what about when you went to my husband's workplace to cause trouble? Even a shrew swearing in the street is more elegant than you."
"It's been less than 24 hours, and you've forgotten that you were carried and thrown out?"
They were not the only ones on this floor, there were other patients and their families, as well as nurses and doctors.
Mother Gu cares most about her image in her life. Now that her image has been exposed by Ms. Qiao, she feels ashamed and angry.
She wanted to find someone to complain to, so she looked around and soon found Gu Yiming in a wheelchair.
She immediately ran over and cried, "Yiming, they all bullied mom."
Gu Yiming didn't look at her. He looked at Gu Xiaoxu in front of him.
Gu Xiaoxu's mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to smile at him. But she was already in a state of panic, and her whole body was overwhelmed by negative emotions. She was shaking uncontrollably, and her fingers were twitching unconsciously.
She no longer had the ability to laugh at this time, but when she found that Gu Yiming was looking at her, she instinctively wanted to smile at him.
In Gu Yiming's memory, Gu Xiaoxu has always been a strong girl.
She would cry if she didn't do well on the exams, and she would cry if her mother hit her. But she was still stubborn in maintaining her image as an "older sister", and she would cry secretly under the quilt every time.
But she cried so loudly that Gu Yiming heard it every time, but he just pretended not to know.
She was also afraid of pain, and every time she talked to her father, she begged him to take them away, because it was too painful for her mother to beat them. But every time it was Gu Yiming's turn to be beaten, she would protect him.
Every time, really every time, Gu Yiming could feel her tears falling on him. But the next time, she still stubbornly stood between him and his mother.
Gu Yiming often wondered, if it weren't for her, would she not have to work to save money, would she not have met that bastard, would she have a different life.
At least, she would never smile like this.
Gu Yiming lowered his head, not wanting others to see the anger in his eyes.
He asked, "Mom, can't you see I'm hurt?"
Afraid that Mother Gu would hurt Gu Yiming, Qin Guan and Lin Jiaqiao stood in front of Gu Yiming.
Mother Gu seemed not to have heard Gu Yiming's words clearly. After a while, she screamed, "What's wrong with you? Who hurt you like this?"
She stared at Lin Jiaqiao viciously, "It's all your fault. You instigated—"
Gu Yiming interrupted her, "It's you."
"You believed in a cult and pushed me into the fire pit, which is why I got hurt."
Mother Gu had already formed some kind of instinctive reaction, and that aggrieved look appeared on her face again, "Why do you say that to me, mom? Isn't it all for your own good?"
"Mom knows that the school is very strict—"
Gu Yiming interrupted her again, "No, that's not a school."
"No school will let you attend class on your knees."
“No school will not let people sleep.”
“No school will tell students that the principal is God and that they cannot disobey the principal’s orders.”
“There is no school that would beat students to death.”
Mother Gu habitually evaded responsibility. She showed a wronged look again: "Mom doesn't know, Mom really doesn't know—"
He looked at his mother calmly. There was no expression on his face, but his pupils were very light in color, so when he looked at people, he always had a little tenderness.
He said, "It's okay, I don't blame you."
Hearing this, Mother Gu seemed to have been pardoned. She breathed a sigh of relief and started to complain again: "Yiming, this woman bullied Mom."
She really doesn't let herself get angry at all.
She wanted to hold Gu Yiming's hand, but Gu Yiming dodged.
He said, "I've always wanted to ask you, why did you send me in?"
Mother Gu was used to having her own way at home, and she was already very impatient. She suppressed her temper and said, "It's because you didn't listen to me, you fell in love too early, you—"
Gu Yiming sighed, "After the college entrance examination, you allowed me to play with my friends, so I stayed at home. You asked me to memorize words and do math problems every day, and I did it."
"I don't have a cell phone, and my room is not locked. Why do you think I would fall in love prematurely?"
Gu Yiming looked at the nurse helplessly, "Excuse me, does your hospital have a psychiatric department?"
"My college entrance exam score was second in the province, but my mother wouldn't let me go to college. She spent 10,000 yuan to send me to a weird school."
"No matter how I think about it, her behavior is so weird."
