Chapter 18
At that time, long-distance calls had to be made at the post office, and telephone booths on the road could only make local calls.
The two walked out of the hospital. Tang Huan stopped and turned to look at Meng Zeyan, “Brother, you go home first. I need to go to the post office.”
Tang Huan was already very grateful that Meng Zeyan could accompany her to the hospital and did not dare to waste his time any longer.
“Yeah.” Meng Zeyan didn’t say much. He looked at Tang Huan with a soft-hearted look. He had heard Comrade Xing Cui say that she had a hard life, but he didn’t know that a little girl had such a difficult life.
The post office and the way home were in two different directions, so Tang Huan and Meng Zeyan walked in different directions.
Tang Huan walked and wondered what she should do next.
When she was in Tang Yuandao’s ward, she said confidently that she had a husband and was not afraid of Li Feng. In fact, she was very scared, very scared.
My parents-in-law are old, so Meng Zeyan will leave after the vacation.
She has two elderly people and one weak child at home. What should she do if Li Feng really has any bad intentions?
Especially since she hit Li Feng with a brick, he would not let it go.
Her parents-in-law are good people, she shouldn’t implicate them.
Otherwise, move out of the Meng family first and then call the police.
But words are not enough, there is no evidence, will the police believe it?
Should be, right? Which female comrade would have nothing better to do than to ruin her own reputation?
Many people were queuing up at the post office waiting to make a phone call. Tang Huan was at the end of the line, and the crowd was full of noisy voices.
She lowered her head and looked at her fingers. When the person in front of her moved forward a little, she followed suit.
After waiting for two hours, it was Tang Huan’s turn.
She saw many people in front of her were talking under the table, so she might not be able to hear clearly.
After dialing the number on the paper and putting the receiver to his ear, Tang Huan finally understood why those people had to crawl under the table. It was too noisy at the back and the sound in the receiver was too low.
She covered her other ear with her hand and waited for the call to be connected.
“Hello.” The phone was finally connected and a voice came from the other end.
The sound in the receiver was a little distorted. Tang Huan held the receiver tightly and spoke after a while: “Is that Tang Shuo?”
“It’s me, you are Huanhuan?” The person on the other side was a little surprised.
Tang Huan squatted down with the receiver in hand, and imitated the person in front of him to squat under the table. He seemed to hear a little more clearly, “Yes, I’m Tang Huan. Tang Yuandao asked you to look for me.”
Tang Huan couldn’t call a man like that “Dad”. He didn’t deserve it.
The other party didn’t care why Tang Huan didn’t call Tang Yuandao dad, but asked her: “Huanhuan, you are married, right?”
As far as he could remember, the original body never told him anything about his family. Could it be that Tang Yuandao said that? There was nothing to hide, Tang Huan answered truthfully: “I can’t live in the Tang family anymore, there is no other way except to get married.”
The other party was silent for a while, and then the voice sounded again: “Huanhuan, I’m sorry, I didn’t protect you well. I won’t let them go when I get back.”
“Hmm.” Listening to the voice in the receiver, Tang Huan lowered his head to look at the ground. A drop of water hit the ground, creating a small splash.
This was not Tang Huan’s emotion, but the remaining grievances of her original body. She was really too aggrieved.
The person on the other end was still talking: “Huanhuan, tell me your address. I’ll send you something.”
“Well, the address is West City…” Tang Huan told the person on the other end of the phone the address of the Meng family.
The person on the other end found it difficult to say what he wanted to say next. After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked tentatively, “Is your husband good to you?”
Tang Huan was silent, wondering whether she should tell him that her husband had passed away.
“Very well.” She didn’t dare tell the Tang family about her husband’s death, for fear that he would let it slip when he talked to Tang Yuandao on the phone.
If he knew that she was a widow now, would Tang Yuandao try every means to get her back to the Tang family?
Just thinking about it, Tang Huan shuddered.
Not knowing what to say, Tang Shuo thought for a long time and forced out a sentence: “That’s fine, Huanhuan, remember to be kind to others and don’t have any inappropriate intentions towards the wrong people. I will go back at the end of the year and pick you up here then.”
What does it mean not to have inappropriate intentions towards the wrong people? This is so confusing.
Tang Huan nodded into the receiver, and when he realized that the other party couldn’t see him, he replied, “Okay.”
The two ended their phone call. The specific content of their conversation can be divided into two points. One is to ask for an address to send something, and the other is to be kind to others.
The original body’s brother was named Tang Shuo, and Tang Huan’s brother was also named Tang Shuo. It was fate that the two pairs of siblings had the same name and surname.
After coming out of the post office, Tang Huan started looking for a house. She had to have a place to stay after moving out of the Meng family. She also thought about whether she could return to the Meng family after sending Li Feng to prison?
But then I thought again and felt that it was inappropriate. She could leave if she wanted to and come back if she wanted to. How could she be so shameless!
Fearing that Li Feng would do something to her and she would suffer, Tang Huan specifically looked for courtyard houses and tube-shaped buildings with a high concentration of tenants. When she shouts for help, everyone around her can hear it.
After looking around, we finally decided on a three-story tube-shaped building, most of the people living there were married workers from the machinery factory.
The rent was fifteen dollars a year. Tang Huan gave the landlord a deposit of one dollar first, and would pay the rest after she moved in.
The landlady was very easy to talk to. She gave the key to Tang Huan after paying one dollar.
On the way home, Tang Huan was worried about how to tell her in-laws that she was moving out. She couldn’t tell the truth, and she wasn’t good at lying.
So difficult.
Xing Cui didn’t know that Tang Huan didn’t go to school today. Meng Zeyan was not a talkative person and didn’t say a word after he came back.
When Tang Huan entered the house, Xing Cui had just come out from the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. Thinking that she was coming back from school, she asked her with a smile: “How was your day at school? Are you tired?”
Meng Zeyan was sitting under the grape trellis drinking tea.
“Not tired.” After answering, Tang Huan looked at Meng Zeyan under the grape trellis and quietly moved his gaze away.
After picking vegetables from the yard, Xing Cui walked into the kitchen with a smile to cook.
Tang Huan paused for two seconds and followed her mother-in-law into the kitchen. She wanted to tell her mother-in-law that she was moving out first.
Out of the corner of his eye he watched the two female comrades walk into the kitchen. Meng Zeyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, but couldn’t taste anything.
Not long after, Xing Cui’s surprised voice came from the kitchen: “What! You want to move out?”
Meng Zeyan stopped holding the teacup in his hand and turned to look at the kitchen. Tang Huan was going to move out?
Is it because of Li Feng today?
“Mom, I’m sorry.” Tang Huan felt like an ungrateful person.
Xing Cui put down the work in her hands and asked Tang Huan in confusion: “Xiao Huan, did your parents do something wrong? What makes you uncomfortable? Just tell me, it’s okay.”
Tang Huan lowered his head and shook his head, not daring to look at his mother-in-law, “Mom and Dad are fine, it’s my problem.”
Tang Huan didn’t want people to point fingers at them at such an old age, saying that their daughter-in-law was being harassed by a hooligan.
There is always trouble around a widow.
After she moved out, we called the police. No one there knew her, and even if the neighbors gossiped about her, it wouldn’t implicate the Meng family.
Meng Zeyan walked to the kitchen door at some point and looked at the mother and daughter in the kitchen. “Tang Huan, when are you going to move?”
He didn’t say anything to persuade her, and even asked her when she would move.
Xing Cui was trying to get Tang Huan to give up the idea of ​​moving out, but when she heard Meng Zeyan’s words, she turned around abruptly, angrily came over and slapped him twice on the arm, “What are you talking about, you bastard? Xiao Huan will not move out!”
Tang Huan bit his lip and replied in a low voice: “Just these two days.”
“Then let’s do it the day after tomorrow. I’ll help you move the day after tomorrow.” Meng Zeyan set the date for her with just one sentence.
Tang Huan nodded, “Thank you.”
Meng Zeyan turned around and walked back. Xing Cui was so angry that she chased after him and beat him. The damn boy not only didn’t help to keep people, but also wanted to help move.
Meng Zeyan treated the old lady as if she was giving him a massage and led her into the main room.
Feeling that beating her hands would not satiate her anger, Xing Cui looked at the feather duster stuck next to the TV.
Using tools is too much. Meng Zeyan hurriedly grabbed Comrade Xing Cui who was about to take the feather duster and said, “Don’t worry, mom, your daughter-in-law won’t move away.”
“Really?” Xing Cui didn’t quite believe it. He had just said he would help with the move, but now he said he wouldn’t move.
Meng Zeyan nodded and assured: “Really, I will definitely not move away.”
Xing Cui originally wanted to ask her eldest son if he knew anything.
Thinking about his mouth that no one could pry open, I didn’t ask any more questions. As long as Xiao Huan didn’t move away, it was fine.
Xing Cui didn’t understand why Tang Huan moved away, but she felt that the child must have encountered difficulties.
It’s still difficult to express.
Xing Cui quickly walked into the kitchen and continued cooking.
Tang Huan was still standing in the kitchen, looking helplessly at her mother-in-law who was cutting vegetables. She was angry!
Ignore her…
Taking out the pig head, Xing Cui cut off a small piece of lean meat, raised her hand to Tang Huan’s mouth, and looked at her distressedly: “Open your mouth.”
