Shen Manman hadn't eaten a drop of water for the entire day. To be precise, she hadn't eaten since getting on the plane.
At night, she went home alone, with Mo Shaocheng following behind. Shen Manman suddenly turned around and looked at him with cold eyes, "Can you stop following me? The person I least want to see right now is you."
Of course he knew, but he didn't feel at ease leaving her alone.
"I won't disturb you."
"But your presence only bothers me." Shen Manman frowned, her expression full of sadness, and her every expression was infected.
His eyes were deep and seemed to be dry, and he couldn't shed any tears. "Don't worry, I won't commit suicide. Dad's death has not been settled properly. Besides, I also promised him that I will wait for my brother to come back." Will not break the promise."
Shen Manman was born and raised in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. She murmurs in a soft tone, and she is as gentle as water at a glance.
But if you get along with her for a long time, you will find that how gentle she looks on the surface, but how stubborn she is in her bones. She can be very strong, stronger than men.
After saying that, Shen Manman turned around again, raised heavy steps and continued to move forward.
Mo Shaocheng didn't move, and he didn't follow her until her back disappeared into the dusk.
Only this time he stopped downstairs, his tall back leaning against the peeling paint of the street lamp, reflecting a mottled shadow.
He kept looking at the window upstairs, which was never lit. But he just knew that the woman must be hiding in the room, curled up into a small figure, and crying loudly without restraint.
At this time, Mo Shaocheng's cell phone rang.
"Hello."
"Mr. Mo, I have helped you contact Professor Taishan Beidou Qin from the Department of Cardiology. He will be available tomorrow. Let me make an appointment for you."
Mo Shaocheng frowned, put one hand in his pocket and looked at the dark window, "No, it's too late."
The rising sun rises in the east, and its warm light shines on the earth.
Shen Manman kept crying last night. When she got tired of crying, she woke up again, woke up and continued crying, and the cycle started over and over again.
She held a photo of a family of four in her arms. Shen Manman just couldn't figure out how a good family turned into herself.
Weak and weak, Shen Manman didn't want to eat or drink.
But there are still many things waiting for her to do today, and she can't be lazy.
I washed my face and went downstairs without changing into my wrinkled clothes.
Shen Manman walked out of the dilapidated corridor. The sun was shining brightly outside the door, and there was a man sitting under the slanted street lamp.
One leg was straightened, the other was bent at the knee, the stubble on his chin was green, and his originally beautiful eyes were also filled with red bloodshot eyes.
However, even if he looked like this, he still couldn't hide his noble aura.
When Mo Shaocheng saw her coming out, he stood up and came forward, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to have something to eat. Otherwise, you'll collapse from exhaustion before Dad's funeral affairs are dealt with."
It was sad, but she listened.
"Just go to the breakfast shop outside the door and have a bite." Shen Manman said softly.
"good."
The old community has been talking about renovation and renovation in recent years, but it has never been implemented. The cement road outside the door has cracked into pieces, and young people have moved away long ago.
She sat at the breakfast stall, and the boss greeted her warmly, "You two, what can you eat? The specialty of our store. Hey, isn't this Manman? That girl from the old Shen family."
"Uncle, it's me."
The older people were very enthusiastic and greeted with a smile, "It's really Manman girl. The man next to you is your man. What a talented person. What a perfect match. By the way, where is your dad? How is his health? I heard that he will wait until I have recovered my kidneys and my body has recovered."
This simple sentence touched her wounds again.
Shen Manman couldn't laugh, "He, he passed away."
"Ah, when did it happen?"
She lowered her eyes and said, "Yesterday, I died of a heart attack."
The old man realized that he had said the wrong thing, and looked embarrassed, "Manman, everyone is bound to die, so I mourn and accept the change. Please let me know when I will be buried. I have been an old neighbor for decades. If he hadn't given it to me for free back then, My son took extra classes, but he didn’t even have a chance to pass the exam. Why did such a good person leave?"
She ate very little and drank a few mouthfuls of a bowl of porridge.
Mo Shaocheng wanted to pay, but the old man didn't want it either alive or dead, and it didn't look good as he was being pushed around. Shen Manman thanked him and left.
The two of them walked side by side on the road, and the low-pressure air made people breathable. Mo Shaocheng would not take the initiative to speak, and he tried to make his presence as low as possible.
Just when he was about to reach the cemetery, Shen Manman suddenly spoke.
"My dad is a very good man. He used to be a middle school teacher. At that time, many teachers opened cram schools and their lives were much richer than ordinary people. But he was unwilling to do this. He was definitely a breath of fresh air, so he has been Our family is living in a tight situation. Every winter and summer vacation, he would give free lectures to the children in the community. Many children like him, and I am very proud of him.
Did you know that at that time, my father was waiting for a suitable kidney source, and he took this one-in-a-million chance? I think it must be because of his good fortune over the years, that’s why he was so lucky. Unfortunately, uremia It didn't kill him, but he died of a heart attack. Haha, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Isn't it said that good and evil will eventually be rewarded? He has been a good person all his life, where is his blessing?"
Unwilling and angry.
It was as if a trapped beast was awakening in her body, constantly tearing her skin to break out of its cocoon.
Mo Shaocheng hugged her into his arms. He didn't like her at all when she was so unfamiliar, "Have you ever heard of the saying of accumulating blessings for the next life? Dad has been a good person all his life. If you don't use up all the blessings, you will accumulate them. In the next life. I think that in the next life, he will be either rich or noble, free from illness and disaster, have enough food and clothing throughout his life, have a harmonious family, filial children, and live a long life."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Shen Manman pushed him away gently, her dark eyes as deep as cold pools, "So you believe in reincarnation, but I don't believe it."
Quietly withdrawing your gaze, you are about to reach the finish line.
What she was thinking in her heart was that every injustice has its own owner and every debt has its own owner, and the matters in this life must of course be settled in this life.
Shen Manman chose a cemetery. The real estate consultant told her that it was a Feng Shui treasure land and the prime location of the entire cemetery, but the price was a bit high, two million.
She didn't have that much money, so Mo Shaocheng paid for the cemetery.
"I will pay you back this money slowly."
"We are husband and wife, Shen Manman."
Calling her by her name was enough to show that he was a little angry.
Shen Manman wanted to tell him, but it would not happen soon. Unfortunately, Mo Shaocheng's phone rang.
