Chapter 76 Past Events

Liu Mang chuckled. "We're like grasshoppers tied together. What's there to say? Just say it."

"Who's on the same rope as you? I won't stay here long. You're being pestered too. Let's go. I'll get you out of the hospital and have dinner. We'll go home." I put my hand in my jacket pocket.

"Can we find each other's mothers? Last time I went home, I saw your stepmother dressed up with a wild man."

My heart thumped. My first reaction was, what about my dad? But I didn't ask. The family had nothing to do with me for a long time.

"It's none of my business. If you don't go, lie here." I said angrily.

Liu Mang got out of bed and looked down at himself. "I don't have any clothes to wear. You can buy me a suit. You lent me the money. Can I pay you back as soon as I have money?"

I frowned, not because I didn't want to buy it for him, but because I was surprised, "You don't even have money to buy clothes?"

He was a little uncomfortable, so I didn't ask any more. He had to be so depressed that he couldn't afford a change of clothes, and he was still a young man.

I went out to look for a random store and bought a size of 175. When I came back to give it to him, he was very happy. He put on his clothes and followed me out of the hospital.

"What the hell are you doing? Don't you go back to earn money with your hands and feet?" I asked.

"Do you think money is so easy to earn? People like us who were expelled from junior high school don't know a lot of big characters and don't have diplomas or academic qualifications, so we can only do some rough work. I worked as a waiter for two or three months and got fired because I hit a customer. I went to work on the construction site for two months. I was too tired, so I quit when I got angry."

I heard him say nothing, and I didn't like to say anything about it. Anyway, I didn't come here to live his life, and he couldn't be the same as I asked him to. I remember when I was in college, I couldn't find a job, and I went to the construction site. The salary was low, the work was heavy, and I was tired.

But I didn't quit. I waited for the opportunity to show off my strengths in front of the foreman, and then he gave me a raise and a civilian job.

Liu Mang was still complaining. "Chen Qing, you said we came from the same place. Why is there such a big gap? By the way, I heard you went to North city to look for your sister. Did you find her?"

I avoided his foxy eyes. "I found it."

"When you were in high school, I heard about your sister..."

"All right, have your meal." I interrupted the conversation and took out three hundred yuan from my bag. "Pay the bill. Take the rest of the money and live for two days. Hurry up and find a job."

He took the money and said with a toothpick in his mouth, "Are you leaving again? I think your car is full of snacks. Where are you driving to? Why don't you let me follow you and be your bodyguard? I really can't. Even a nanny can do it."

"I don't need it." I left without hesitation.

I purposely circled around the hospital to get the car. I got in the car to study the map after making sure he didn't follow me. It wasn't far from my hometown, so I thought of what Liu Mang said.

I don't think she's going to take care of my dad for the rest of his life. I'm not surprised that she's hooking up with other men, but my dad's old feudalist, I'm afraid he'll die of anger.

My mother brought Yang Meng back before the seventh day and wanted yang meng to give him a son, but Yang Meng was only pregnant once and I pushed him down the stairs.

My dad always said it was useless to raise a daughter, and he didn't show any mercy when he chased me and my sister away. He deserved it even if he had no one to take care of him, but I felt bad inside. I wanted to go back and see him.

I went back to look for Liu Mang. Liu Mang was limping along the road next to the restaurant. I parked my car in front of him.

"Get in the car."

A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes and he got into the car without saying a word. "Chen Qing, I knew you wouldn't forget your old friend, so what? Where are we going? Let's have a reality version of the heartflower roadshow."

"Who's your friend now?" I glanced at him in the rearview mirror. "You said my stepmother was with another man. Where's my dad?"

Liu Mang smiled. "Look at you. If you want me to tell you, women are all creatures of duplicity."

"Are you going to tell me?" I'm too lazy to talk to him.

"I didn't see your father. I saw your stepmother on the county street."

I swallowed and lay on the steering wheel for a while before I looked up. Liu Mang was eating my snacks in the back.

"I'll give you the money. Help me go back and see my dad."

"Sure, how much is it?" Liu Mang's eyes shone.

I pursed my lips. "One thousand, two hundred round-trip tickets. I'll reimburse you."

Liu Mang happily agreed. I immediately sent him to the train station. He bought a ticket and went back to his hometown. In order to make it easier to contact him, I gave him my old wechat.

It was only after I posted a wechat message that I realized that Fu Jing was looking for me. A quiet person like that would actually send me many wechat messages!

There were good words for me to go back, and there were threats to me. Unfortunately, he no longer had the capital to threaten me. As soon as I left, I would say goodbye to everything in North city.

At around 10 pm, Liu Mang sent me a wechat about my home, and he even showed me a video. The two-story building in the past was so dilapidated, and the yard was a mess. It didn't look like anyone lived in it at all.

Liu Mang called uncle chen a few times. No one answered. I let him in, and he went in.

The picture was even worse. No one was cleaning the room, the things were scattered everywhere, and another glass of water on the table turned yellow.

"Mom, this smell..." Liu Mang complained in disgust.

I had an ominous feeling that when Liu Mang pushed the first floor master bedroom away, I was completely stunned.

My dad was lying on the bed, staring at the camera in the dark with his eyes hooked up, which gave me a fright. Not to mention Liu Mang, he screamed a few times and the ghost was about to run away.

"Go back, that's my dad." My tears came out as soon as I brushed them.

"No, I need more money. It's scary!"

"Okay, I'll give you another thousand. Why did my dad do this?" I hung up the video as soon as I finished, and I couldn't get that scene out of my mind.

I stared anxiously at my phone, crying and waiting. I never dreamed that the man who had blown his eyes at me would turn into a frightened face lying on the bed. This...

I ran into the bathroom and washed my face with cold water. Looking at myself in the mirror with red eyes, I was confused.

Chen Qing, that man abandoned you. You don't owe him! I took a deep breath and calmed myself down as fast as I could.
