Chapter 381 Women are born actors (5000)
Chen Qingrong finally returned to his hometown with Tang Xiaoru.
Because the incident happened suddenly, when he wanted to buy a high-speed rail ticket, it was already unavailable, so he had to drive back.
In fact, he felt that he was already capable of driving on the highway, but Tang Xiaoru was worried, so he could only sit in the passenger seat.
After adding gas, the speed increased after entering the highway.
Tang Xiaoru glanced at Chen Qingrong and comforted him, "Hubby, don't be too angry. When you return home, try not to really do anything. Your sixth uncle may not bear legal responsibility if he does something, but if you do, you will definitely be arrested."
The current version has three major to.
Minors, fairies, and seniors.
Among them, the elderly over 60 years old are the most powerful.
Because he is old, even if he steals and does something harmful to the world, he will generally not be sent to jail or even to a detention center, because he is old and he won't have many years to live. If you really send him to jail, you will still have to provide for his retirement.
Unless he goes crazy and kills dozens of people at the age of sixty or seventy, he will be severely punished.
After Tang Xiaoru heard what Chen Qingrong had said, she knew that this matter was very tricky.
She could understand that Chen Qingrong was angry. If her father had his head hit, she would also be angry. But she still hoped that Chen Qingrong could be calm. If he really hit someone, he would definitely be sent to the detention center.
"I know what you mean." Chen Qingrong said with a gloomy face, "I just can't swallow this anger. Even if I don't hit him, I will dig up all the food in his field when I go back. What an old fool. I still call him Sixth Uncle. You think my parents are honest and easy to bully, right?"
"If you really do that, won't it exacerbate the conflict?"
"So what?" Chen Qingrong was unhappy. "It was my dad who was beaten, not someone else. If I, as a son, don't react at all when my dad was beaten, am I still a human being?"
"They say raising children is a preparation for old age. Isn't it a preparation for times like this?"
"I understand."
Tang Xiaoru didn't know what to say to him anymore.
If she tried to persuade him again, it would seem as if she was being unfaithful and was always speaking for outsiders.
They are a family, they prosper together and suffer together. If they always speak for outsiders, are they still a family?
When I returned home, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
They did not go back to the village, but went directly to the hospital in the town. After parking the car, the couple rushed into the hospital.
On the way, Chen Qingrong had already asked which ward his father was in. When he saw his father, Chen Qingrong saw that his father had gauze tied on his head, but his spirits and spirits seemed to be fine.
"Dad! Are you okay?"
"Uncle, auntie."
"Xiao Chen? Xiao Ru? Why are you back?" Old Chen was a little surprised and then looked at his wife.
Chen Qingrong squatted in front of his father and said, "Dad, don't look at Mom. Such a big thing happened to you, can we not come back?"
Old Chen laughed and said, "It's not a big deal, just a minor injury. I'm planning to be discharged from the hospital."
"You should stay in the hospital for two days for observation." Chen Qingrong advised him, "After all, your head has been stitched, how can you not stay in the hospital for two days for observation?"
"It's okay. If you don't believe me, ask your mother. The doctor said that my injuries are not serious and it will be the same if I go home and rest." But Lao Chen insisted on being discharged from the hospital.
Just then, two men walked in from outside. The one walking in front was a man in his fifties, wearing a gray jacket and carrying two boxes of milk. Behind him was an old man in his seventies, with few hairs on his head and walking with a hunched back.
"Lao Chen, Xiu'e, we are here to see you. Oh, Xiao Chen and his wife are back too. Long time no see, haha." The man carrying the milk shouted with a smile.
He is Chen Song, a high-ranking village official in Chenjiatun. As for the person following behind him, it is naturally the instigator of this incident, Sixth Uncle Chen Kuan.
When Chen Qingrong saw Uncle Six coming out, he stood up and reached for the bench.
"Qingrong!"
"husband!"
Wang Xiu'e and Tang Xiaoru quickly stopped him.
Old Chen also said, "Qingrong, put the bench down quickly, don't do anything stupid, and listen!"
Chen Qingrong stared at Uncle Liu and said with gritted teeth, "I will not be able to calm down unless I give him a blow!"
"Put it down!" Old Chen forcibly took the bench away and said angrily, "Are you going to piss me and your mother off to death? Don't mess around, it was just an accident. He is your sixth uncle after all. As a junior, how can you hit an elder?"
"I……"
Chen Song also advised, "Yes, Xiao Chen, we are all from the same clan. This time, Uncle Six got drunk and got into trouble. He also realized his mistake. So, I brought him to apologize to your family. Our village also paid for Lao Chen's medical expenses. Please forgive your Uncle Six this time for the sake of Uncle Song."
"Uncle Six, why are you still standing there? Have you forgotten why you came here?"
The Sixth Uncle raised his hand and slapped himself several times, then said with a bitter face, "Chen boy, Xiu'e, Xiao Chen, I am sorry for your family, you two let Xiao Chen go and let him hit me with a bench, I drank too much and my brain is broken, I was disrespectful to my elders and did this to my own young generation, it's my fault, if Xiao Chen didn't let me, I would be upset."
"I'm so sorry, please let him go and let Xiao Chen beat me up."
Old Chen said, "Sixth Uncle, it's normal for a family to have conflicts. I don't blame you. My father passed away early, and we asked you to take care of us. For this, my mother and I are very grateful to you."
"Let's just let this matter pass and never mention it again."
He looked at Chen Qingrong and said, "Qingrong, when you were a kid you were playing by the river and fell into it. Fortunately your sixth uncle passed by and was quick to pull you out. You owe your sixth uncle a life, but you can't really hit him. You can't be a human being like that."
"Yes Qingrong, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, just forget it." Wang Xiu'e also advised.
Chen Qingrong looked at his parents, then at Tang Xiaoru, and then at Sixth Uncle, and found that he was already in tears. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.
"Let me go." Chen Qingrong struggled a little, then stood up and walked towards Uncle Liu.
"husband……"
Tang Xiaoru was worried that he was going to attack again, so she shouted. Unexpectedly, Chen Qingrong just brushed past Uncle Liu, walked straight out of the ward, and slammed the door with a bang.
Chen Qingrong is extremely irritable now. He doesn't want to talk to anyone and just wants to be alone and quiet.
He found a clean place outside the hospital and sat down. Not long after he sat down, Tang Xiaoru came to him.
"husband?"
"Well, I'm fine." Chen Qingrong looked up at her and forced a smile.
No matter how upset he was, it had nothing to do with Xiaoru. He would never get angry at Xiaoru. That was not what a man should do.
Tang Xiaoru sat down next to him, held his hands and rubbed them, then asked gently, "Are you upset? Do you feel like you have a fire in your heart that you can't vent?"
Chen Qingrong nodded, "Yeah, I'm very upset, I can't explain why. I thought about it when I came back. Even if I didn't do it, I didn't play with Sixth Uncle. But when I saw his behavior just now, I remembered that when I was a child, I followed Sixth Uncle a lot. He was very good to me and our family. Although he was a bachelor, he often came to help our family every day during the busy farming season. When I thought about these things, I couldn't vent my anger for some reason."
"But if I don't post it, I feel ashamed. After all, my father got his head broken by him. If he wasn't the Sixth Uncle, if he was a young man, I would really fight with him. Why did it have to be him?"
Human nature is complex.
It is true that Sixth Uncle smashed his father's head, but it is also true that Sixth Uncle is a simple man and has a good reputation in the village.
In Chen Qingrong's memory, the younger Uncle Six was definitely not the kind of person who would beat people, but how come he became like this as he got older?
You say he beat him, a sixty-year-old man, it would be easy for him to beat him to death.
You say he doesn't hit or scold me, but he always feels upset inside.
It was like punching cotton. The cotton didn't feel any pain, and he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.
It's not good to deal with relatives, but if it's an outsider who has no blood relationship, the matter will not be handled in this way.
Tang Xiaoru didn't know how to comfort him, so she just coaxed him, "I understand, I understand, I understand. People are complicated. For example, my grandmother was so biased towards boys. When she was alive, she often found fault with me and didn't look at me well. But when I was young, she really spoiled me, so I can say that I love and hate my grandmother." "I listened to what your uncle and aunt said just now. This Sixth Uncle doesn't sound like a bad villain. Maybe he was really drunk this time, and he did such an irrational thing because of the quarrel. His confession just now was also sincere. After you came out just now, he knelt down to your uncle and aunt. I don't know what to say."
"He knelt down in front of my parents?"
"Yes, you said that at his age, he doesn't need to panic if he is a scoundrel, because there is no possibility that he will be punished by the law. I think he is truly repentant." Tang Xiaoru said cautiously.
She would not persuade him to let it go like Chen Qingrong's parents did. She just stood from his perspective and told him what she saw, allowing him to analyze and decide for himself.
Chen Qingrong clenched his fists, lowered his head, and was silent for a long time. Suddenly he looked up at her and asked, "Can I have a cigarette?"
"I prepared it for you." Tang Xiaoru took out a pack of Liquan from her pocket like a magician.
Chen Qingrong was stunned, "Where did you get the cigarettes?"
Tang Xiaoru chuckled and said, "When I came out of the ward just now, I asked the secretary for it. Isn't it said on the Internet? When men are upset, they like to smoke one cigarette after another. After smoking a good cigarette, they calm down."
"You don't usually smoke, but at this time, I allow you to smoke. But we have to make it clear that this is just this time, and you can't smoke next time."
"Forget it." Chen Qingrong shook his head.
Tang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and asked weakly, "Did what I said make you unhappy? Well, then you can smoke if you want in the future, just don't be unhappy, okay?"
Chen Qingrong shook his head again. "No, I'm not unhappy. I just feel that I'm not weak enough to rely on nicotine to keep myself spirited. I'll stop smoking when I can't bear it anymore."
"Really not smoking?"
"I really don't smoke." Chen Qingrong took the cigarette and stuffed it into his pocket, grinning, "Although I don't smoke, it doesn't stop me from carrying it with me. Next time I see a friend, I can give him some cigarettes. If a man doesn't carry cigarettes, his professional skills will be affected."
"Tsk." Tang Xiaoru curled her lips and couldn't help laughing. Then she kissed him and looked at him affectionately and said, "I suddenly realized that restraining you is really manly."
Chen Qingrong raised his head and puffed out his chest in pretense, "You just realized this? I have always been very manly."
"Ah, yes, yes."
……
In the end, Chen Qingrong did not beat Uncle Liu, but he did not say that he forgave him either.
This matter has always been a thorn in his heart. It is impossible to expect him to respect Sixth Uncle as much as before. He is not the kind of person who likes to make enemies with others, but once he hates someone, he will never stop until one of them dies.
Old Chen's injury was indeed not serious, and the doctor said that they could go home and rest, so Chen Qingrong drove his parents and Xiaoru home.
As for the Sixth Uncle, he took the initiative to offer to help Chen Qingrong's family with all the farm work while Old Chen was recuperating. Old Chen and his wife wanted to refuse at first, but Chen Qingrong agreed first.
In his mind, he thought that this should be considered as a punishment for Uncle Six.
In fact, the elderly people in rural areas are very capable. Although Uncle Liu is over 70 years old, he is not only strong but also nimble. He is unlike those old men in their 70s in the city who look half dead.
Chen Qingrong's family doesn't have much land, so if it's all handed over to Sixth Uncle, it won't be too difficult for him.
With this arrangement, Chen Qingrong felt a little relieved.
I slept at home tonight. My grandma and mom cooked the meals and the whole family had a happy meal.
Old Chen also said to Chen Qingrong and the others, "You can go back and do your work tomorrow. My wound is very small and will heal soon. You are all busy in the start-up stage. There is no need to waste time staying in your hometown."
Chen Qingrong said dissatisfiedly, "You are wrong. How can this be called a waste of time? Xiaoru and I are obviously worried about you."
"I know, I know, but I'm fine. Look at me, I can eat, drink, jump and run. Don't worry." Old Chen laughed.
Tang Xiaoru reminded him, "Uncle, you must remember the dietary restrictions the doctor told you to follow. Only in this way can you fully recover. Besides, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You must rest well."
"That's right." Chen Qingrong nodded, and then said to his mother and grandmother, "Mom, grandma, keep an eye on my dad, don't let him work in the fields. Those jobs are supposed to be done by Uncle Six. If he doesn't do some work to vent his brute force, I don't know who he'll hit next."
Wang Xiu'e smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I will never let your father work in the fields."
"You and grandma shouldn't go either. Before I leave tomorrow, I'll arrange a few spies in the village to help me monitor you. If you don't listen to me, I'll be angry."
"You're still wearing spyliner. Are you acting in Infernal Affairs, kid?" Wang Xiu'e didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After dinner in the evening, the couple simply washed their feet and went to bed.
Tang Xiaoru lay in his arms, patted his chest with her little hands, and said, "Hubby, go to sleep quickly. We have to drive back tomorrow."
"Yeah." Chen Qingrong grabbed her little hand and whispered in her ear, "You're lucky tonight. I won't blanch you."
"Hmph." Tang Xiaoru snorted, stared at him for a few seconds, and suddenly asked a very strange question, "Aren't you tired of it?"
"what?"
"That's right, um, don't you feel bored?" Tang Xiaoru blinked.
Chen Qingrong came back to his senses, "You mean Chaopi? No, I don't think there would be a man in this world who would hate that, right?"
Tang Xiaoru asked curiously, "What does it feel like?"
Chen Qingrong pretended to be profound and said, "How should I put it? It's no different from ascending to heaven."
Tang Xiaoru opened her mouth and said in surprise, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all. You will know when you become a man in your next life." Chen Qingrong smiled and suddenly asked her, "Then how do you feel?"
Tang Xiaoru blushed so much that she pulled the quilt up hard to cover half of her face, and said stickily, "Why do you like to ask when you are blanching, and you also like to ask when you are not blanching?"
Chen Qingrong is a typical straight man.
At that moment, he never said anything romantic, but just kept asking her whether she was married or not, which was speechless.
Tang Xiaoru would always cooperate and answer him.
Otherwise, why do people say that women are born actors?
They can pretend to love you, or they can pretend to be superb.
It hurts. It hurts so much.
"Then are your answers to me true every time?" Chen Qingrong got to the bottom of it.
Tang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, "Will you be angry if I tell you the truth?"
"No." Chen Qingrong shook his head and said rationally, "This is about the well-being of both of us. I think we should have a frank talk."
Tang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment again before saying, "It's 70% true and 30% false."
Chen Qingrong's eyes widened immediately. "Really? So three out of ten times you told lies?"
Tang Xiaoru said weakly, "I, I am also considering your face."
"hehe."
Chen Qingrong let go of her immediately, turned around and slept with his back to her.
Tang Xiaoru was anxious, "Hey, we agreed not to be angry!"
"Haha, I'm just trying to save your face."
"..."
