Chapter 4.1 (2/2)
Turns out when the beautiful secretary heard this, after getting off the phone with me she immediately called the old madam to inform her of the situation, the old madam upon hearing her son having pneumonia rushed to the hospital.
The old madam all along didn’t like me, when I pester to marry her son, she certainly didn’t like me. However, after Lu Yu Jiang and I married, the old madam also didn’t say half a malicious remark about me, just with this point I also have respect towards her.
So I respectfully stood up, called out, “Aunty.”
I did not expect this word would cause the old madam to tremble with rage, that look, like a swis.h.i.+ng knife, almost cut out a transparent hole in my body, “What did you call me?”
Finished!
A bad thing!
I forgot Lu Yu Jiang specially asked before, regarding our divorce, we have to deceive his mother, because the old madam thoughts are traditional, and she has hypertensive heart disease, he has feared that out of anger an unexpected misfortune may occur. And this year when it was the Spring Festival [2], Lu Yu Jiang wanted me to accompany him home for dinner, to continue to play a loving couple in front of the old madam, Lu Yu Jiang said, “I have to slowly tell my mother.”
[2] 春节 Spring Festival: Also known as Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year (农历新年) is an important traditional Chinese holiday celebrated at the turn of the Chinese calendar. In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival, the literal translation of the modern Chinese name.
How did I know he’s slow is more than half a year, he still haven’t told the old madam?
I also stood there slightly at a loss, on the bed Lu Yu Jiang was awake, his voice was weak, called out, “Mother.”
The old madam immediately left me, rush over to pull up her son’s hand, “Look at you, I told you to pay attention to your body, how did you manage to end up this way.”
Lu Yu Jiang raised his eyes, glanced at me, “Why did you disturb/startle mother?”
When talking to his mother it’s still feeble, once I lose my temper it’s full of air, I’ll offend anyone, or did I owe him my past life?
I open my mouth wanting to tell him, the result I saw him desperately winked at me, his eyes unexpectedly——piteously begging? I have never seen Lu Yu Jiang beg anyone, suddenly my heart was overjoyed, his face had a very aggrieved expression, muttering, “This, I was thrown into a panic……”
“You young people, there’s no backbone at all.” The old madam glared at me, “With a fever why didn’t you take him to the hospital earlier?”
I plausibly told the old madam, “I would have taken him earlier, however he would not go. If I had not dragged him out of the bed, I also do not know how it’ll be like.”
Lu Yu Jiang on the bed certainly wanted to strangle me, because I saw him just glared at me, I looked up pretending I didn’t see this, besides I didn’t lie.
“This child, with his father virtue, always feel his physically healthy, with good resistance.” Mentioning that year father-in-law pa.s.sed away of cancer, the old madam was really sad, “You don’t even think for both of us, you do not cherish yourself, is earning money endless?”
Very good, although standing until the base of my feet were in pain, however listening to the old madam chatter with Lu Yu Jiang, and he didn’t even dare to reply a word, it is worth the price!
Finally, I send the old madam out, she also praised me, “Good child, although on the outside Yu Jiang usually in a presentable shape, he is actually improper, you have to watch him, don’t let him act recklessly and mess things up.”
I just nodded and said to the old madam, well, let me look at Lu Yu Jiang, his imperial sword is useless.
I return to Lu Yu Jiang’s room, his spirit has been much better, he asked me, “What did my mother say?”
I made a face at him, “I’m not telling you.”
Besides he’s lying on the bed, he’s unable to get up and do anything to me, so I am a small man intoxicated by success [3], my bravery has increased, my heart is greatly relieved, I even felt like I was breathing fresh air.
[3] 小 人 得 志 Xiăo Rén Dé Zhì ; Describes a situation where a mean-spirited person, a bigot or hypocrite is in a position of power and control.
He was silent for a moment, ask me, “Then, why do you want the permanent residence booklet?”
Oh!
This ordeal, I almost forgotten my purpose, luckily when he was burning with a fever, remember I find his permanent residence booklet. But I don’t want to tell him the truth, “Why are you b.u.t.ting into my business?”
He seems to have thought of something, his lips curved into a smile, sneer silently. I saw his crafty smile and I felt disgusted, and every time he be opinionated, or he obtained some evidence against me, he will mystifying sneer. I really shouldn’t have to send him to the hospital, even if he burned silly at home, its none of my business. I am the farmer, giving the frozen snake some warmth, then it would immediately come back to bite me.
“You want to get married?” His inadvertence expression made me feel more hatred, “Your action are very quick ah, is it Chi Fei Fan?”
I was muddled by his words, it took me a few seconds to react to what he meant, I never thought this permanent residence booklet also has another use, and that was marriage registration. But I was utterly discomfited, straining out a sweet smile, “Yes, whom I married does not need your permission, in any case giving me the permanent residence booklet will do.
He looked at me coldly, as if I was a snake, or whatever other animal, the type that’s ugly and disgusting, a face full of disgust.
I have not abandon him!
When he burned like a hot iron, I have to change his clothes.
“You just rush into this?” He very gloating said, “The permanent residence booklet is lost, you must hurry, go to the Public Security Bureau to reapply yourself.”
Even if you beat me to death I won’t believe the permanent residence booklet is lost, and if I really require to reapply, it wasn’t ten days and a half months matter, I won’t be able to rent the house. I was anxiously angry, “What’s wrong with you? You deliberately do not want you to see me better, is that it??”
I was angry, but he is happy, “I intentionally do not want to see you have an easy time.”
F*ck!
