Sheng Mian slept until noon. When she woke up, her head hurt so much that her phone vibrated wildly. She quickly pressed the answer button.
It was my aunt Li Su who called, and her tone was anxious.
"Mianmian, I called you a few times but didn't answer. Did something happen to you? I'm planning to ask your uncle to come find you."
Sheng Mian glanced at the missed calls. There were five calls from her aunt, so no wonder she was worried.
"I'm fine. I slept too late last night and was too tired so I didn't hear anything."
Li Su breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you going to burn paper for your mother today?"
"Well, I've already gotten up and washed up. I'll go there to buy some paper later."
"Your uncle has already bought the paper. I'll ask him to wait outside your house. You can find him as soon as you get up and ask him to take you there."
Sheng Mian hung up the phone, packed herself up in less than five minutes, and went out to meet Lin Dong.
Lin Dong handed her the purchased items, "Your aunt said that you slept late last night. I'll drive and you can squint in the passenger seat for a while."
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
Sheng Mian got into the passenger seat and smelled a faint smell of gasoline on the tip of her nose. Lin Dong had been driving this car for many years. Even if it was maintained on time, the smell of gasoline and leather could not be eliminated.
It was a shaky and bumpy ride to the destination.
She got off the car with the paper she bought and found the cemetery.
Sheng Mian comes every year, and sometimes she comes a few days earlier or later due to delays, but she knows her mother will not blame her for this.
Thinking of the Sheng family's recent chores, she was in a bad mood and wanted to talk to her mother alone.
Her uncle was waiting for her not far away, so it was hard to say anything more.
The tomb had been lightly taken care of, and she knelt down and burned the paper seriously.
After everything was burned, Sheng Mian quietly rubbed his eyes and walked to Lin Dong.
"Uncle, let's go."
Lin Dong was smoking, and when he saw her eyes were red, he wanted to say something, but didn't say anything, so he had to hold the cigarette with one hand and patted her shoulder with the other hand.
The two of them were about to get on the bus when they saw a motorcycle coming from far away, with a man and a woman sitting on it. After it stopped in front of them, He Zhen got out of the car and grabbed Lin Dong's hand.
I got the car keys and said in a bad mood:
"Do you know that I am going out to play with my friends today? I have already told you not to drive in the next three days. If you don't listen, you can go back on your own. My friend is still waiting for me."
The Lin family only had this car, which they had used for many years, but it cost more than 200,000 yuan back then. It was a low-end BMW.
He Zhen needed this car to go out to save face. When she saw that the car was not there, she asked Li Su and found out that it had been driven here.
Now that she got the key, she got into the car, closed the door with a bang, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
Sheng Mian frowned, "Uncle, are you and aunt just letting her treat you like this?"
She always knew that He Zhen was domineering in this family, but she didn't expect that she had become so arrogant.
It is said that family scandals should not be made public. In front of a junior like Sheng Mian, Lin Dong's face was basically thrown to the ground.
What's even worse now is that the two of them are left here. Do they really want to go back?
It's too far from home, it might take two hours to walk.
"Uncle, you have been wronged. I...ask my colleagues to come pick us up."
It was the first time Sheng Mian met such a weirdo like He Zhen, who was selfish to the extreme, but Lin Dong and Li Su were both so tolerant, so as a junior, it was hard for her to say anything.
It was just because of what happened to my cousin that my uncle and aunt always felt they owed He Zhen.
"Uncle, I'm fine. I just feel worthless for you. She hasn't had a job these years. You give her your monthly salary and you don't even know where she spent it. She's still yelling at you at home. If my mother
Know......"
When she said this, she was silent for a moment, stopped talking, and walked slowly along the way she came.
Lin Dong was like a child being scolded, his hands and feet were stiff and he kept up.
A car horn sounded not far away, and then two cars stopped in front of them.
Lao Li opened the car window and saw Lin Dong, "Don't you drive when you come to visit the grave?"
Lin Dong quickly explained, "The car has been driven away. Lao Li, please give us a ride."
Lao Li glanced at the back seat with some embarrassment. There were two leaders sitting there. The leaders were very easy-going and said, "Come up, but there is only one seat in the car. Let your child ask the car in front if it is allowed."
Come on her."
There were only two people in that car, and no one else dared to sit in it.
Sheng Mian already knew that the car in front was Fu Yancheng's.
Fu Yancheng is the boss who wants to come to You County to develop tourism?
She walked to the car window and knocked politely.
"Mr. Fu, I encountered something unexpected when I came out. Could you please give me a ride?"
