Chapter 228 Blood is thicker than water
It has been a long time since Lin Xueyi finished dinner from her home in Santiaoxiang and rushed back to the clinic with Qu Qinghe. Mei Ru calculated carefully that her daughter had been away from home for more than ten days. She missed her daughter very much and looked forward to her daughter going home every day, but her daughter was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news.
What made her particularly uneasy was that on the way, Miss Qu Qinghe and a Mr. Zhao came to the door to find out whether their daughter was going home. Although her son Lin Yutao later went out to inquire and said that Lin Xueyi had returned safely after returning home, out of the natural connection between mother and daughter, the sixth sense told her that something might have happened to her daughter.
Women are born with a keen sense of touch. The twinkling eyes of their son are on the one hand. On the other hand, the prospective daughter-in-law "Mo Yao" is well-educated and respects her and her husband. She seems to have endless things to say to Mei Ru, but whenever she talks about Lin Xueyi's topic, she either covers up or leaves on excuses. This makes Mei Ru have a slight bad thoughts. In addition, when she heard that Lei Yuan, who regarded him as her own, was caught by the Japanese, she was sad, and she was more deeply worried about the current situation.
Perhaps, such an accident has affected my daughter.
After lunch, Meiru took a nap for a while and actually had a bizarre dream. She dreamed that her daughter was covered in blood and was running wildly on the empty street. Five or six ferocious Japanese devils were chasing behind with guns. Seeing that her daughter was forced into a dead end, she called for help in despair... At this point, she woke up from the nightmare. After waking up, she trembled all over and sat on the bed for a long time without coming back to her senses.
After getting out of bed, the first thing Mei Ru had to do was knock on the door of her daughter's room.
Mo Yao was lying on Xueyi's bed reading a book. After opening the door, she saw the mother of Yutao wearing shoes and clothes, looking worried. Not only that, the hair on her forehead was obviously soaked in sweat, and she was wet against it.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Mo Yao exclaimed.
"Yao'er, you have to tell the truth to your aunt. Is something wrong with Xueyi?"
Mo Yao was obviously stunned for a moment, her expression was extremely unnatural. She put the book in her hand on the table on the excuse, and when she turned her head, she was already smiling.
"Auntie, why do you think so? Xue Yi is very kind. Didn't Yutao tell you clearly?"
"Don't hide it from me, you are an honest child!" Mei Ru's expression was serious, she further cliched and tried to coerce and induce people.
"How dare I hide it from you? Everything I said is true!"
Mo Yao swears to the fullest.
In any case, she could not bear the consequences of leaking the secret.
Meiru was immediately discouraged and muttered, "Then why didn't she go home to see me?"
"Maybe Sister Xueyi has been too busy recently, and you also know that the small clinic cannot do without her." Mo Yao suddenly felt that after this round, she had won, her tone became more and more firm, and her voice increased: "Xueyi is a surgeon. The war has just ended, and there are many patients who need surgery. I have been to the Jianye Christian Church Hospital where she used to be. You have never seen it, and even the corridor is full of people!"
Maybe she was too suspicious! Meiru secretly blamed herself.
She walked out of the room with her shoes pulled out.
When Mo Yao saw that her back had reached the door, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh. As soon as she patted her chest, Mei Ru suddenly turned around again.
"When will Yutao come back?"
"He said he would go home immediately after finishing his work." Mo Yao said frankly.
"I finally waited until he came back, and I always thought he would stay at home steadily, but I still didn't see anyone all day long and was in trouble all day long. He didn't think about the current situation!" Mei Ru blamed her son, hoping that this future daughter-in-law would feel her authority.
"Yes, I've talked about him more than once, but he couldn't listen!" Mo Yao finally found a soulmate and agreed.
Mei Ru thought that the other party would listen to her scolding her son honestly and then comfort her. This was what she hoped most, but she didn't expect that there was a slightest reproach to her son in her tone, which made her feel like she wouldn't lose the rice at once, so she quickly adjusted her mind.
"Oh, it's actually no wonder Yutao. The Japanese are so bad. They killed so many of us. If no one stood up, the Japanese always thought that we Chinese were easy to bully!"
Her thinking was adjusted a little big, almost 180 degrees. Mo Yao couldn't adapt at once, and couldn't think of the wording for the answer.
Mei Ru continued to work hard, intending to consolidate her point of view, "We women, especially at this time, need to give them more support, do you think?"
Mo Yao is obviously not her opponent and can't keep up with her thinking at all.
Mei Ru saw that the other party was silent and thought that she was at least agreeing with her own point of view, so she took the clothes carrying the shawl and embarked on the way back to the living room.
Unexpectedly, her wish came true. As soon as she left the living room, she heard footsteps in the yard. She looked up and saw that it was her beloved son Lin Yutao. She shouted "Yutao" lightly and hurriedly met her.
Lin Yutao was exhausted and stepped into the house, grabbed a glass of water on the table, raised his head and drank it.
Judging from his expression, his son is not happy.
Meiru's question just now made Mo Yao sweat. Although she had responded clumsyly, as for whether Meiru would communicate with her husband after leaving the room and what was the content of the communication, Mo Yao was very concerned about. So at this moment, Mo Yao was listening to the movements after Meiru went out. When she heard the word "Yutao" popping out of her mouth, she knew that her boyfriend she was worried about had gone home and no longer had reserved. She didn't expect to break out. As expected, Lin Yutao stood in front of a table in the living room and was putting an empty cup on the table.
Mo Yao grabbed Lin Yutao's sleeve and shouted affectionately: "Yutao!"
Mei Ru also wanted to say something to her son about her well-being, but she found that she couldn't find the right time, so she had to squeeze out a smile and let them warm for a while.
"The matter is done? Is it going well?" Mo Yao couldn't wait to ask.
This is actually a question that Mei Ru is concerned about. When Mo Yao asked for her, she suddenly felt no impatient. She picked up the teapot and wanted to add water to her son. She found that the kettle was empty. So she shouted to her husband who was sitting aside with a little impatiently: "The kettle is empty, and I don't know how to add water, it's like... a dead person."
Her tone was not very friendly, mainly because the nightmare at noon made her feel restless.
Chinese teacher Lin Yugao put down a book called "Journey to the West" in his hand, took off his reading glasses and placed them on the table, and went to the kitchen with an empty pot.
"Fortunately..." Lin Yutao was not very enthusiastic.
Mo Yao was obviously thinking about the question that her mother had made her feel scared just now. The question and answer appeared, and Mei Ru took advantage of the situation and said, "Yutao, you can do your mother a favor tomorrow!"
"Mom, you said."
"I miss Yier. Please help me go to Huimin Clinic and send her a message to ask her to go home no matter how she goes home. I will roll out the soba noodles she likes for her."
"Okay!" Lin Yutao agreed, but inadvertently saw Mo Yao wink at him secretly, and he suddenly became nervous.
"It may be too late at noon, so why don't she come back tonight." Lin Yutao responded absent-mindedly, while urgently wondering how to lay a foreshadowing in such a conversation. "I know she is quite busy recently. Their clinic has just accepted many patients."
"Have you seen her?"
"Well, I went to see her specifically today!" Lin Yutao began to lie desperately.
"Is she okay?... Did she talk about me and your dad?" Meiru wanted to know her daughter's attitude.
Lin Yugao came out of the kitchen with a kettle in his arms. He had a deep understanding of her daughter's recent chattering in his ears, and couldn't help but say a little angrily: "Xueyi is already an adult. She has her career and her emotions. As a mother, don't drag her back."
Only when his son is present can he muster up the courage to say something to his wife.
"What are you talking about? Xueyi is still your biological child. You know how to read novels all day long. Can you eat novels that night?" Mei Ru said mercilessly whether her son is present or not.
Lin Yugao never won such a war. At this time, he always acted like a "good man doesn't fight with a woman". Today is no exception. Before Mei Ru finished speaking, Lin Yugao had already opened the novel and found the place she had just read.
Lin Yutao was upset and immediately pushed open his sister's door.
Mo Yao followed him into the house, not caring about being ridiculed by the woman outside the door, and closed the door casually.
"What do you want to say?" Lin Yutao opened the truth, "Did you have something to say just now?"
Mo Yao took his hand and put her body close to him. Next, she whispered in Lin Yutao's ear in a way of telling the secret, so that this hand-holding was very necessary.
"Your mother asked about your sister, and she suspected something was wrong with Xueyi!" Seeing Lin Yutao's worries, Mo Yao quickly cleared herself up, "I insisted that Sister Xueyi was fine! I said the same as you, saying that she was very busy recently!"
"Well..." Lin Yutao broke free from her and was about to go out. He didn't want his parents to misunderstand him.
Mo Yao hooked his neck again and continued to ask, "How can you promise your mother? If Xue Yi can't come back tomorrow, what should you explain?"
Lin Yutao suddenly felt a little annoyed, spread Mo Yao's arms apart, and said decisively: "I have to go out!"
"Go out again? Why don't I go out with you?"
"How can that be? Stay at home honestly!"
Mo Yao was a little unhappy and muttered her lips, "I'm so annoyed!"
Lin Yutao couldn't help but think of her sister who was imprisoned. She became more and more manic, but reason calmed him down. He picked up Mo Yao's hand again and comforted him half-coaxed: "Didn't you say you'll listen to me from now on? In the past few days, don't go anywhere, I'll do my best to rescue Xueyi!"
Mo Yao suddenly became quiet and pinched Lin Yutao hard to show encouragement.
"Also, I must not let my parents know about Xue Yi, otherwise they will be crazy!"
Mo Yao bit her lips tightly and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"How do you plan to save Sister Xueyi?"
