Cripple pondered for a moment and glanced at Yang Cheng hesitantly. He lowered his head and muttered to himself for a moment before revealing an unhappy expression. He raised his head and said, "Hey! What are you looking at!? Have you never seen a beggar before!? I'll beat you to death if you keep looking!! "
After saying that, he didn't forget to frighten Cripple by throwing down the cloth bag!
Yang Cheng retracted his gaze from Luo Cuishan and asked Cripple with great interest, "Have you been taking care of her for the past two days?"
Cripple snorted coldly, "What does it matter to you?"
"Of course." Yang Cheng looked at Cripple up and down meaningfully, "Because I was the one who made her like this."
Cripple felt uncomfortable being swept by Yang Cheng's gaze. It was as if this young man's gaze could penetrate his soul and see through everything.
"What … What do you mean?" Cripple was apprehensive, but he pretended to be fearless on the surface.
Yang Cheng shrugged with his hands behind his back, "The meaning is very simple. I want this woman to fend for herself, but you provide her with food and drink. Aren't you holding me back?"
Luo Cuishan trembled all over. A kind of resentment and viciousness spread in her heart, but she didn't dare to raise her head to look at Yang Cheng because the terror this man brought to her was far beyond her imagination!
Cripple looked down at the trembling woman and various expressions flashed through his eyes. In the end, he gritted his teeth and stood up proudly, "What can you do to me!? I just like to give her food and drink! What can you do to me!? If you have the guts, break my other leg as well. I can crawl and beg for food, I can even roll! "
Cripple shouted at the top of his lungs like a skinny jackal facing a vigorous lion. However, he refused to back down and used all his strength!
Luo Cuishan finally couldn't help but raise her head and look at the young tramp in front of her who couldn't even lift a leg. Her eyes were hazy with tears, but she was in a daze.
Yang Chen's interest was piqued. Grinning, he asked, "Who is she to you? Why do you work so hard to protect her? "
Cripple said in disdain, "I like it, there's no reason!"
"You like her?" Yang Cheng asked mischievously.
Cripple's expression was a little stiff, and he straightened his neck. "What's it to you?"
Yang Cheng seemed to have understood something and nodded, "I understand …" Alright, since that's the case, I'll be leaving. But I advise you to be careful. Once you take a step, you can't take it back. After all … "You only have one foot."
Cripple felt a little guilty. "Be careful of her? Humph, I gave her food and drink, could it be that she still wants to harm me? You, on the other hand, what right do you have to be so cruel to a woman!? Even though I, Cripple, am not a good person, I am not as vicious as you! "
Yang Cheng curled his lips and sneered, "I didn't tell you to be careful of her." Yang Cheng pointed at his own nose, "I'm the one who told you to be careful."
Cripple swallowed his saliva and mocked, "Do you think you can scare me?"
"You'll know in the future." Yang Cheng turned around and said as he walked away, "I just want to tell you, I don't scare people …"
Cripple looked at Yang Cheng's back until he disappeared around a corner. He muttered to himself for a while, then turned around and asked Luo Cuishan who was squatting on the ground, "Hey, are you alright? That person left."
Luo Cuishan slowly raised her head and looked at the young vagabond who was at least twenty years younger than her. "Why did you do this to me?"
"What?" Cripple was at a loss.
"Why did you give me food, drink, and speak up for me?" Luo Cuishan's eyes behind her messy hair were filled with mixed thoughts.
Cripple's eyes evaded, "Is that important? If you want to do it, then do it."
"Are you pitying me?" Luo Cuishan sneered, "I don't need anyone to pity me."
"Pity? Haha. "Cripple laughed," I'm just a beggar and a cripple at that. Do I have the right to pity others? Why would I pity you? You have hands and feet and can talk, do I have nothing better to do? "
Luo Cuishan was stunned.
Cripple said disdainfully, "Hmph, you're so paranoid. I want to treat you well, it's that simple! If you think I'm a hindrance, just say it! "
After saying that, Cripple seemed to be quite annoyed. He limped out of the alley without looking back, as if he didn't want to stay with Luo Cuishan any longer.
Luo Cuishan was stunned on the spot for a while. She stretched out her hand and wiped away the two streams of tears that had unknowingly fallen from her face.
Her gaze fell on the white bread that had just fallen on the ground. Luo Cuishan carefully picked it up and brushed off some of the dirt. With trembling hands, she bit down on it …
Dark clouds hovered in the sky above Zhonghai City. Unknowingly, the yellow plum rain had gotten heavier.
On the way back home, Yang Cheng didn't think much about Luo Cuishan and that unfamiliar cripple. Killing or not killing such a character wouldn't make a difference. Instead, keeping her alive might attract more big fishes. At the very least, Yang Cheng felt that if Luo Cuishan was still alive, Ning Guangyao would definitely feel uncomfortable. As for a father who didn't even want his own daughter, Yang Cheng didn't have a good impression of that fellow.
In his mind, he kept thinking about the little things that had happened between him and Mo Qianni. The woman's understanding, hard work, seriousness, and persistence had left countless marks in his heart.
Give up? How could he give up?
However, Ma Guifang's words made Yang Cheng slightly worried. Could he really give a woman happiness?
It wasn't difficult to become a wife. As long as she changed her nationality, it was a very easy thing to do legally. But the key was, how would the people around him view it? Gossip was a fearful thing.
Yang Cheng didn't think it would be easy to bring women to live in another country. The ties of family and the habits of life would all be burdens. After all, women didn't only live for themselves.
Thinking about how Ma Guifang could only swallow the bitter fruit after being slapped by that shrew, Yang Cheng's heart felt like it was being pierced by needles. When he thought about the scene of Mo Qianni being ridiculed by others one day, he felt an uncontrollable fear!
The sweeter the love, the more bitter it would be when there were problems.
Unknowingly, he returned home. When Yang Cheng opened the door, the smell of food filled the living room.
Lin Ruoxi had taken off her work uniform and was wearing a blue and white striped off-shoulder dress. She was wearing a pink apron with a cartoon pattern on it as she walked out with a huge clay pot in her hands. She looked as if she was afraid that the pot would break.
Speaking of which, the apron was a DIY product that Zhenxiu bought after school one day. She said that it was a gift for Ruoxi's sister. However, although Lin Ruoxi kept it, she didn't dare to wear it. It seemed that she was in a good mood these days, so she didn't care about being looked at strangely by Yang Cheng and Zhenxiu. She put it on happily.
"Let me do it!" Yang Cheng stepped forward to take the clay pot from his wife's hand and put it on the table with steady steps.
Lin Ruoxi pouted, "It's so hot. Don't you feel it in your hand?"
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Baby, how about you blow it for me?" As he said that, he put his hand to the woman's mouth.
Lin Ruoxi ran away and blushed, "You are so naughty as soon as you get home. Hurry up and wash your hands. It's time to eat."
After a while, Zhenxiu also came down from upstairs. The girl was going to take the college entrance examination in a few days, and the school didn't require her to go. She was ready to relax and then go to the battlefield.
These days, the dishes at home were very sumptuous. They didn't care about the problem of waste. Every day, Zhenxiu was fed until her mouth was oily and her little face was round.
The family ate dinner happily. Zhenxiu was the most lively and always told some corny jokes. Yang Cheng would add oil to the fire and occasionally make dirty jokes in front of the elders, which made Lin Ruoxi step on his toes under the table!
Yang Cheng enjoyed the feeling of Lin Ruoxi getting closer to him. Although they hadn't slept together yet, it was Yang Cheng's suggestion. They would sleep together after the wedding. He couldn't go back on his words. As the man of the family, his credibility couldn't be too low.
However, Yang Cheng couldn't help but think, how did Mo Qianni eat dinner at home? With Qiangwei and Ma Guifang, the three of them?
In the future, when he was a family, could he let Mo Qianni also participate in the warm dinner at the dining table?
Yang Chen's mood became gloomy again when he thought of all the obstacles that had happened during this period of time. It seemed like he had been too selfish. Women were usually alone most of the time. It didn't make a difference whether she had him as her lover or not.
He kept getting their youth and tenderness from women, but he had nothing to give them. Mo Qianni was like that, Qiangwei was like that, Anxin, Ming Yu … How could material help fill the emptiness of the soul?
After dinner, Yang Cheng went upstairs alone early. He said that he wanted to watch the European Cup game online, which made the four women downstairs a little confused. The game hadn't started yet, right?
After Yang Cheng returned to the room, he walked to the balcony and looked at the quiet night sky in a daze.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. It was Guo Xuehua.
Seeing her son standing on the balcony in such a deep mood, Guo Xuehua sighed and walked to Yang Cheng's side, "I saw that you had something on your mind when we were eating just now. Do you mind telling me?"
"I can't hide this from you. It seems that my acting is not good enough!" Yang Cheng relaxed his eyebrows and joked.
"When a mother looks at her child, she doesn't look at him with her eyes, but with her heart," Guo Xuehua rolled her eyes at him.
Yang Cheng thought about it and nodded, "You do have your heart …"
Then, Yang Cheng didn't hide anything. He told her about the incident with Ma Guifang in the evening and the series of events that happened. In the end, Yang Cheng touched his temple, "Mom, my heart is in a mess now. I don't know what to do. Have I really been harming Qianni all this time?"
Guo Xuehua's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, "Sister Ma has indeed had it hard. It's understandable that she would be so resistant to you and Qianni. But when it comes to matters of the heart, even if I'm your mother, I can't make decisions for you. Yang Cheng, from a woman's point of view, what I want to say to you is that if you really haven't thought about how to give Qianni a happy future where she can walk under the sun with dignity, then, as Sister Ma said, it's better to suffer for a while than to let her suffer for the rest of her life. "
Yang Cheng was silent. Although he knew that this would be the result, he was still a little disappointed after hearing Guo Xuehua's words.
"Qianni … is different from other girls," Guo Xuehua said earnestly, "She's not like Qiangwei. She's a maverick. She's a part of the underworld, so she doesn't have to care too much about the rules between men and women. And for a child like Anxin, she was born in a rich family and has a cheerful personality. She doesn't care too much about the rules of the secular world. Qianni … is the daughter of an ordinary family. She will care about the secular world's view and the opinions of others. If they were both your lovers, perhaps no one would laugh at Anxin and Qiangwei, but Qianni … is different. "
