Zheng Xiaolong went to the commune to call home.
There was a phone in his father’s office. His mother was his father’s secretary, so the call was finally transferred to his mother.
When Zheng’s mother heard that it was her son, she was furious.
“You still remember to call home? You didn’t go home during the Chinese New Year. I think you have grown arrogant!”
“It’s because you forced me to marry Chen Ruru! I don’t like her at all!” Zheng Xiaolong was scolded by his mother as soon as he opened his mouth.
“What’s wrong with Ruru? Didn’t you like her when you were little? Our family owes her a life! Without your Uncle Chen, do you think you can grow up without worries? Although this engagement was a verbal joke at first, you agreed to it when you were little. Now you want to go back on your word. Unless Ruru agrees, I won’t recognize you as my son. I don’t think the family will give you any money. Can you support yourself? Ruru has gone to the countryside for you. You take good care of her, otherwise, you will lose your living expenses!”
“Mom, I was so young at that time. Can my words count? Alas, now is not the time to talk about this. Mom, Chen Ruru is very abnormal. Today, the female educated youth in our educated youth point found that she had many injuries on her body. She should have been abused by someone. I think this person is Aunt Xu…”
“What did you say?” Zheng’s mother thought that she had heard it wrong.
“I saw a few bruises on her body when I was a kid, but Aunt Xu always said they were just bumps and bruises, so I didn’t think much of it. Also, Chen Ruru never wears skirts. Isn’t that strange?”
“Also, Chen Ruru doesn’t want to marry me because she likes me. It’s because Aunt Xu has always instilled in her mind that you treat her well because she is my fiancée. If she doesn’t marry me, you won’t treat her so well in the future. So, she wants to marry me for you. In this case, why don’t you just recognize her as your daughter? Isn’t it better than marrying me? Wouldn’t everyone be happy this way…”
The more Zheng’s mother listened, the more upset she felt. Her heart was about to be twisted into a ball. She heard that her son was still only concerned with breaking off the engagement at this time. She didn’t know what was happening to Ruru. No, she had to go and see for herself!
“Shut up! Take good care of Ruru for me these two days. I’ll be there soon!”
She hung up the phone.
“Is it your son calling? Calm down. I told you not to send him anything. I think he has enjoyed it too much. It would be better if he suffered a little outside.” Zheng’s father put down the pen in his hand and comforted him.
“Old Zheng, I have to go to the countryside. Xiaolong said that Ruru had many injuries on her body. He suspected that Xu Lijun had abused her! No wonder Xu Lijun never let Ruru come to our house alone. I wanted to let Ruru stay for one night, but she was not happy. She always said that Ruru was her only support and she couldn’t sleep without her! Old Zheng, please buy me a train ticket. I will go to Xu Lijun to talk!”
Zheng’s mother acted decisively and was about to leave.
Zheng’s father stopped her, “Whether this is true or not, don’t alarm her first. I will go to the countryside with you to see the situation first.”
…
Here, Zheng Xiaolong sighed as he watched the phone being hung up unexpectedly.
He was used to it.
With Chen Ruru around, his mother never sees his needs and always asks him to give in.
Such a favor is really too heavy. He doesn’t know when it will end.
