Chapter 88
"Dahai, there is something I have always wanted to ask you." Guan Lu and Dahai were sitting face to face in the milk tea shop. She took a sip of milk tea, calmed down, and decided to find out in person today to find out what made her A question that has puzzled me for a long time.
"What's the problem?" Dahai said with the same expressionless face as always and a calm tone.
"Why is there such a big gap between your performance online and your performance in real life? It's like two people." Guan Lu looked at the sea and asked doubtfully, "Online is not only warm and humorous, but every time I see you in real life , all like a wooden person, and...and sometimes his words are inconsistent."
Guan Lu didn't expect that Dahai would panic immediately as soon as she said these words!It was originally a test, but it suddenly revealed Dahai's flaws. I saw him sitting in his seat uneasily, his hands shaking unconsciously due to nervousness. He picked up the teacup with his right hand tremblingly, and drank sip after sip. Catch water.
Seeing Dahai's uncharacteristic behavior, Guan Lu immediately raised her vigilance. Could it be that her words really turned out to be a prophecy?Is there someone else chatting with me online?Then who is this person sitting in front of me?Guan Lu looked at the sea, and began to speculate uneasily in her heart, and thought about the possible changes next.
"Guan Lu, I'm going to the bathroom." Dahai felt like he had been exposed, and he wanted to flee the scene quickly.
Just as he stood up in a panic and was about to leave, a small white medicine bottle fell out of his jacket pocket.
Seeing this, Guan Lu quickly bent down to pick up the medicine bottle.After Dahai discovered that the medicine bottle had fallen to the ground, he hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but unfortunately Guan Lu beat him to it.
Guan Lu picked up the medicine bottle, "Chlorpromazine?" Guan Lu looked at the indications again, "It is used for the treatment of schizophrenia, mania or other psychotic disorders."
"Are you a mental patient?" Guan Lu asked with a sullen look on her face as she looked at the helpless sea in front of her.
Dahai quickly stepped forward and grabbed the medicine bottle from Guan Lu's hand. Just as he was rushing to grab the medicine bottle, his phone slipped out of his pocket.
Guan Lu hurriedly picked up her phone and glanced at it accidentally. She saw the photo on the screen saver of her phone. Two identical men were standing together with their arms around each other. The man on the left had a bright smile, and the man on the right had a dead look on his face.
"Are you a twin? The one on the right is you, right? Is the one on the left the person I am chatting with online?" Guan Lu picked up her phone and asked coldly, with the screen facing the sea.
Dahai snatched the phone away, gave Guan Lu a blank look, said nothing, and then walked away quickly.
Watching Dahai leave in panic, or it would be more appropriate to say fleeing, Guan Lu couldn't believe what had just happened. She sat back in her seat in despair, staring blankly at the water glass left on the table when Dahai left. .
"Oh my God! I almost fell in love with a mentally ill person?!"
Guan Lu picked up the milk tea with lingering fear and drank it in large gulps, hoping that the sweetness of the milk tea would quickly calm down her panic at the moment.After the matter was clarified, Guan Lu had more questions.
Why did the twin brothers do this?What do they want to do?While Guan Lu was glad that she discovered it early and did not fall into a big pit, she was also secretly glad that Dahai and she had not fallen ill during these few meetings, otherwise she would not have imagined the consequences.
Will the person you contact on the phone also be the same person online?probably?Thinking of this, Guan Lu picked up the phone and tried to call.When the call was connected, she asked angrily: "Who are you?"
"Guan Lu, why do you ask this?" It seemed that the other person on the phone didn't know what had just happened.
"Stop pretending! I already know the truth. You are Dahai's twin brother, right? Is it interesting for you two brothers to join forces to play tricks on me? I have no enmity with you, why are you doing this!" Guan Lu He yelled loudly on the phone with a tearful voice.
"Guan Lu, please listen to my explanation." The person on the other end of the phone was a little panicked, "I'm sorry! I actually didn't mean to hurt you. My brother just came out of the mental hospital not long ago, and he still needs medication, but I also know that he longs for love, and I want to help him find a nurse to take care of him. I just happened to see you on the marriage website. My brother needs someone to take care of him now, and you want to find a BJ partner, both of whom correspond to each other. That's why I chose you. In fact, my brother is quite nice. He became like this because he was stimulated. Guan Lu..."
The other end of the phone was still trying to explain something, but Guan Lu interrupted her sharply: "If you want to find happiness for your brother, can you hurt others and make fun of other people's feelings? Okay! Please don't contact me again in the future. , I really didn’t expect that you said so many sweet words just to get me to take the bait! I’m so stupid! Goodbye! No, never see you again!” After Guan Lu finished speaking, she hung up the phone angrily.
Everything that happened today made Guan Lu feel terrible!She glanced at the water glass across the table with disgust, quickly paid the bill and left the milk tea shop.
Guan Lu walked aimlessly on the street, looking at the pedestrians coming and going. In this huge BJ city, is it so difficult to find a local who loves her?She asked in her mind.
Today's experience made her feel sick. At this moment, she urgently needed to find someone to talk to. She heard that Siyi had quit her job as an e-commerce model and spent all day doing trapeze with An Chen. She was very busy and Yuqing... I'm busy studying for graduate school, why don't I go find Xiaoju?The last time they met was when Xiaoju gave birth to a baby. So much time has passed in the blink of an eye. Her Niuniu must have grown into a big baby, right?
Thinking of this, Guan Lu got on the subway and ran towards Xiao Ju's house without saying hello.
After taking several lines and stations, Guan Lu finally arrived at Xiaoju's house. As soon as she arrived at the door of Xiaoju's house, she heard a quarrel coming from the yard.
I heard Grandma Xiaoju scolding her in unpleasant words: "You actually think I don't take care of Niuniu for you. How can you still have the dignity to give birth to a loser?"
Xiaoju defended in a low voice: "Mom! No matter what you say, Niuniu is still your biological granddaughter. People say we are close to each other in another generation. You are also Niuniu's grandma after all. Isn't it too much to help me take care of her?"
"You are a rural person from other places. You have reached a high level by marrying into our family. You dare to ask for this and that. Besides, you only have one child. What can't you take care of? I haven't raised the hadron all by myself. ? You're just being pretentious!" Xiao Qiang's mother stood on the steps in front of the back room and yelled gesticulating.
The more Guan Lu listened, the angrier she became. She didn't expect Xiaoju to live such a life at home. Just when she was about to rush in and argue with Xiaoju's mother-in-law, she saw an old man in his sixties or seventies entering the courtyard. She only heard the man say: "Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." What do you two have to argue about? It's so loud that I can hear it even from a distance. Are you not afraid of people's jokes? I said Qiangzi's mother, why do you sound so awkward to me! Why do you mean that a foreigner who marries into your family is a high-ranking official? Who in the village doesn’t know that your daughter-in-law is a college student? If you ask me, it’s because Qiangzi has surpassed Xiaoju, so you still have the nerve to shout here.”
"I said his second uncle, I am disciplining my daughter-in-law at home. Why are you coming here to interfere?" Xiao Qiang's mother saw the second uncle Qiangzi coming in, so she came down from the steps and stood in the yard, still arrogant. replied proudly.
"Come on! I think Xiaoju's daughter-in-law here is quite good. She can endure hardships and doesn't do much, so don't be dissatisfied." Uncle Xiao Qiang replied.
"Why did you come to my house? You're not here to educate me, are you?" Xiao Qiang's mother asked with a sideways glance.
"The wife of the old Yang family at the east end of the village asked me to come here to find you. I happened to hear you two arguing here. I brought the words to you." After the second uncle finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Xiao Qiang's mother followed later.
After Guan Lu watched Xiao Qiang's mother walk away, she quickly went in to find Xiaoju.I saw Xiaoju sitting in the yard at this time, with a basin of clothes to be washed in front of her, holding Niu Niu in her arms, lowering her head and quietly sobbing to herself.
"Xiaoju!" Guan Lu came in and shouted.
Xiaoju raised her head and saw that Guan Lu was coming. She quickly wiped the tears on her face with her hands, stood up with Niu Niu in her arms and walked forward: "Lulu, why are you here?"
"I'll take the day off today and come over to see you." Guan Lu said, reaching out to hug Niu Niu.
Niu Niu turned her head away, holding on to Xiao Ju's clothes with both hands and not letting go.
"I raised this child with my own hands, and he is a bit naive. Niuniu, this is Aunt Lulu, can you let her hug her?" Xiaoju turned her head and comforted Niuniu gently.
At this time, Guan Lu smiled and stretched out her hand again. After Niuniu looked at Xiaoju, she leaned towards Guan Lu.After hugging Niuniu, Guan Lu happily praised: "Niuniu is so smart! She also knows how to act based on her mother's face."
"Come! Come in." Xiao Ju hurriedly called Guan Lu into the back room.
After the two sat down, Guan Lu looked at Xiaoju and said, "Actually... I've been here for a while. I heard your quarrel outside just now, so I didn't dare to come in."
Xiaoju lowered her head and said quietly: "Lulu, I'm so sorry for making you laugh. Our family is like this, alas."
"I don't know where Xiao Qiang's mother has the sense of superiority to treat you like this! You are just too weak. If it were me, I would definitely argue with her. In fact, as long as you resist a few more times, she won't Dare you dare, people are bullies and shy of the strong." Guan Lu said angrily. Seeing that Xiao Ju didn't answer, she continued, "Oh... To be honest, I used to envy you for taking root in BJ, but now I see you are living like this It’s frustrating, I have nothing to envy, it’s not as good as my current single life.”
Xiaoju sighed and replied: "Well, I haven't liked arguing with others since I was a child. I would rather suffer a little injustice. I also know that I am very frustrated now. How many times have I hid alone and cried secretly, but looking at my arms? What can I do with such a weak and cute girl here! Since I’ve already married and had children, let’s just live like this. Maybe, this is my life.”
After a long silence, Xiaoju asked: "By the way, Lulu, since you and Yu Yang broke up, haven't you found another partner?"
"I haven't found the right one. As far as I'm concerned, I want to find someone with good conditions. I'm afraid of being betrayed. I'd rather find someone with a bad one. I don't want to wrong myself." Guan Lu cursed in her heart as she thought of what happened today. Say to yourself, "Guan Lu, you are just stupid!"
"I remember you said before that you asked me to help you find a suitable young man. I later inquired for you and found that there are indeed a few young men of our age in our village who are not suitable for each other. Do you want me to introduce them to you?" Xiao Ju asked. While cleaning up the housework, he asked Guan Lu, who was sitting on the chair and teasing Niu Niu.
"Forget it. Seeing how miserable you are, I don't want to follow in your footsteps. I'm afraid!" Guan Lu replied half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Actually, not everyone is like my mother-in-law. You see, Brother Qiang's second uncle is very good. He is a veteran and has a good outlook on life. Jiang Qinghua and his family are also very good. You can't just because My mother-in-law just thinks everyone else is like that.”
After hearing this, Guan Lu replied thoughtfully: "Yes, you can't take a single case as the whole story."
On the way to Xiaoju's house, she was still thinking about whether to continue the online marriage proposal. The strange experience of this twin brother really made her afraid of marriage proposal.However, Xiao Ju's words made Guan Lu suddenly feel enlightened. She couldn't refuse to eat just because she was afraid of being choked, right?I am still young and I can always find the right man.
"How's it going? Do you want to introduce me to you?" Xiao Ju saw that Guan Lu didn't answer, so she continued to ask.
"Xiao Ju, you've already lived like this and you're still thinking about me! Now, I just want to find a guy in the city and don't want to consider a guy from the countryside. There are too many things in the countryside," Guan Lu replied.
"Okay then. I won't worry about it." Xiaoju replied with a smile.
Guan Lu helped take care of Niu Niu, and Xiao Ju worked much faster, and soon a lot of housework was finished.
Guan Lu told Xiaoju many interesting things at work, and Xiaoju's mood improved a lot. The small room was filled with laughter.
Xiaoju felt that she was in a cell now, which was small, damp, dark, and without freedom. She really envied herself before getting married. Although her life was poor, she was free.
Whether it was Guan Lu or Yu Qing, their occasional arrival brought her a beam of light. Although it was short-lived, it lit up a rare light in her life.
