Chapter 390 Phoenix Nirvana

Lin Qingya's room for Li Mu was the best luxury business suite in this three-star hotel.

The so-called luxury business suite is nothing more than an extra living room of about 20 square meters, with general decoration.

Lin Qingya did not take her luggage and followed Li Mu to the room. Li Mu invited her to sit on the sofa for a while. It was too painful to wait outside for two or three hours in the winter. The room was warm and Li Mu let her rest here. When the time is up, I will take her to the station by myself, so that she can sleep on the bus, and she will arrive in Yanjing after a night of sleep.

As soon as the two sat down on the sofa, Li Mu's cell phone rang. He took it over to see that it was Su Yingxue, and Li Mu said to Lin Qingya naturally, "My girlfriend's phone number."

Lin Qingya nodded lightly, and she cooperated without making any sound. She knew that Li Mu had a girlfriend. When he confessed to Su Yingxue, all the college students were blown up. When Ai said this, his tone seemed a little lost.

As soon as the call was connected, Su Yingxue asked Li Mu, "What are you doing dear?"

Li Mu said, "I'm in Qilu, I'm doing something, how about you?"

Su Yingxue said, "I came out to buy a pack of cigarettes for my father, and my mother gave away all the cigarettes at home."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Auntie is probably trying to get my uncle to quit smoking. You buy him cigarettes. Be careful Auntie is in a hurry with you."

Su Yingxue said, "It's alright. Anyway, my mother knows that she is deceiving herself. When my dad goes to work, she can't stop smoking."

After saying that, Su Yingxue said again: "By the way, my sister is going to take the art exam at the Yanjing Film Academy on the ninth day of the first year. I promised to accompany her there. I will go back to Yanjing with my aunt's family the day after tomorrow."

Li Mu heard Su Yingxue mention this before, and said, "Since you have promised her, let's go. I'll go back after fifteen at home."

Su Yingxue said: "Xin Ran has been pestering me for the past two days, saying that you want to invite her to dinner. When the family watched "Old Boy", they didn't think of your name when they saw your name, but she guessed it was you. So I have to get to know you, do you have time tomorrow night?"

Li Mu said without hesitation, "If you have time, let's go. I invite you two to eat in the ecological garden, where the environment is better."

Su Yingxue said, "Okay, you can eat anything. I'm afraid you don't have time."

Li Mu said: "I can't offend my sister-in-law, I will make her satisfied tomorrow.

"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qingya said enviously, "You are so kind to your girlfriend."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "My girlfriend must be nice to her."

Lin Qingya nodded and asked, "Is she also from the National People's Congress?"

"Well, in our first term, we were classmates in high school."

Lin Qingya asked, "Then does she know what you're doing now?"

Li Mu shook his head: "I know part of it. She knows about 3321, Alipay, and I made "Old Boy", but she doesn't know about Muye Technology and others."

Lin Qingya looked curious: "Why didn't you tell her?"

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't tell you either. Maybe I want our relationship to be as pure as possible, or maybe I'm afraid of scaring her. Not only him, but my parents don't know either."

Lin Qingya nodded in understanding. As a young man, his achievements were indeed too great. Even the people closest to him might need time to slowly accept this fact.

Li Mu remembered the family affairs faced by Lin Qingya, and asked her, "Have your family affairs been resolved?"

Lin Qingya nodded: "It's all settled, in fact, it's a matter of money, they just need to be satisfied."

Seeing that her expression was a little unnatural, Li Mu reassured: "Any problem that money can solve is actually not a big problem."

Lin Qingya sighed softly and said, "I was still thinking on the way from my home today on the way here by car. From now on, I will be enough to come back once a year for the New Year. In fact, for them, it doesn't matter if I come back or not, as long as the money Just give it, I mainly don’t want to spend the New Year alone in Yanjing, otherwise I really don’t even have the heart to come back. If I get married in the future and have a place to celebrate the New Year, I’m afraid I won’t even have the heart to come back once a year. If my future husband can love me and pet me, I will never want to come back to this family for the rest of my life."

Li Mu realized that he might have said something wrong. He shouldn't lift the pot without opening it, but looking at Lin Qingya like this, there should be a lot of things hidden in his heart, and it may not be a good thing for her to carry everything in her heart. .

Lin Qingya looked up at Li Mu and asked him, "Mr. Li, are you interested in hearing me complain?"

Li Mu sat up straight and said, "All ears."

Lin Qingya smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I'm just complaining about my fate, it's not how miserable I have been, but I just feel that I have never been loved and pampered since I was a child. In Zao City, the concept of patriarchal preference is given to women. This is especially important. When my grandparents’ generation was young, the number of sons each family used to compare. My grandparents have six children in total, but only my father is a boy, so their family has been bullied by the same villagers. If there are few sons in the family, neighbors with many sons will bully you and take advantage of you. My dad was used to being bullied since he was a child, and the concept of patriarchal preference is much more serious than that of my grandfather’s generation.”

"My dad caught up with the good times. When he was young, he caught up with state-owned enterprises to recruit workers, and he was considered to have an iron job. However, the employees of state-owned enterprises were very serious about family planning. He had my brother, but he always felt that there were not enough sons. I also wanted to secretly have another one. In order to give birth to me, my mother went to my second aunt’s house in the countryside to hide for half a year. After I was born, she found out that I was a girl, and she left me in the country to be raised by my second aunt. When I was young, I took my second uncle's surname, and at that time I always thought my second uncle was my parents, until when I was two years old, my mother went back to the countryside with a big belly to secretly give birth to three children."

"The third child is a girl again. My mother wanted to leave. My second aunt really didn't have the energy to take care of my sister, so my mother instructed her to give the child away. At that time, I didn't understand, I didn't know who the girl was. My sister, when I'm seven years old, it's time to go to school. I don't have a hukou. My second aunt and uncle have two children. If I have a hukou, it will be an overbirth and I will be fined, but if I don't have a hukou, I can't go to school. , my second aunt took me to my parents' place, quarreled with them, and then left me with my parents. , and a seven-year-old child is still a black household, which will delay many, many things, my parents did not agree at first, but there is no place to place me, so I can only temporarily stay at home."

"In those years, it was the most stringent time for state-owned enterprise employees to catch family planning violations. Not only did a special working group conduct investigations all day long, but later also introduced a reward policy for reporting. I lived in my parents' home not long ago. I was reported by someone, and the work team came down to verify, but they didn’t admit it, and they kicked me out of the house indiscriminately. I was only seven years old, and I had no money in my pocket. I cried downstairs for a day, my dad Mom's neighbor couldn't see it, so she took me home secretly and asked me if I knew the contact information of any relative, I remembered the address of my second aunt's house, and she took me by bus and took me back."

"My second aunt got angry after hearing what happened at home, and called my other four aunts together, five of them took me back, and asked my parents to keep me and give me a household registration. , my dad had no choice, and followed by a few aunts, he applied for a new household registration for me. The family planning team came right after and fined 8,000 yuan. My five aunts paid half of it. Since then, I have I stayed with my parents, but my parents didn’t have any feelings for me. At first, they didn’t want me to go to school. Later, the teachers of the children’s school of my unit found my parents. They reluctantly agreed to let me go to school because of their respect among the co-workers. "

"Junior high school entrance examination, I was the first in the school and fifth in the county. My parents didn't want me to continue, so I gave up the best high school and went to the mine that was willing to exempt me from tuition and miscellaneous fees for three years. After I was admitted to the National People's Congress, I received a scholarship from my high school alma mater, and received red envelopes from five aunts. I worked as a tutor in the city for two months, and collected enough tuition for the first year. I relied on poverty subsidies, scholarships, and part-time jobs to survive until graduation. After I graduated from the National People’s University and got a job, my parents’ attitude changed immediately. From the beginning, they didn’t ask questions, but they kept asking for them. I asked for money, the yard was paved with concrete and asked me for money, my brother asked me for money for a small business, my brother asked me for money after being chased by a creditor in gambling, and now he is getting old and can’t find a partner, so he asks me for money Qian, after a little hesitation, the three of them immediately turned their faces, saying that I was a white-eyed wolf, and they finally offered me to graduate from college, but I turned my face and didn’t recognize anyone, and told people everywhere that I was blind and raised a wolf cub…”

Li Mu was stunned. He had heard of similar things before, but he had never encountered such an extreme experience as Lin Qingya. The Xiling Coal Mine was also very strict with family planning. Except for the underground diggers who could have a second child, nothing else was allowed. There are also people who run back to their rural hometown to steal the baby and bring them back after many years, but they don’t dare to change their household registration after they are brought back. Very simple, his parents felt that he had lost too much money and wanted to make up for it.

However, what happened to Lin Qingya was at an extreme. Instead of feeling that she owed her, her parents felt that she owed them. It was hard to imagine how Lin Qingya could go from elementary school to high school graduation in such a family environment.

Lin Qingya said so much in one breath, but her emotions did not fluctuate much, but became more and more relaxed, and then said: "My second aunt is old, and I went to see her this year, her two sons are not very filial, It may also be due to the limited conditions. She and my second uncle still rely on the cultivation of one-third of the acre. Qilu is different from other provinces. The per capita arable land here is very small, not even one mu. The two of them They can also grow some food rations. Fortunately, in rural areas, they use food and a small amount of money to exchange for the staple food of pancakes and biscuits. They can still make ends meet, and I have been blind and desperately trying to please the three people in my family. I didn't really repay my second aunt and my second uncle, and when I left, I gave them all the year-end awards we gave them this year."

Li Mu nodded: "Listen to what you said, you shouldn't give any money for your brother's marriage."

Lin Qingya smiled slightly and said, "Yes, in fact, I regret it to death, I would have ignored it if I knew it earlier, and let them cry, make trouble, and hang themselves, anyway, they won't really hang themselves, if the money is given to my second aunt And the second uncle, at least enough for them to retire."

After saying that, Lin Qingya suddenly regained her energy, sat up straight and said to Li Mu, "You don't know, I told my parents when I went out today, I said that I have given back enough to this family for so many years. Now I have also paid out the money for my brother's marriage. From now on, I will not pay any attention to any requests they make. If I come back next year for Chinese New Year, I will give them 5,000 yuan for living and accommodation expenses. If you don't come back, forget it, you don't know how ugly their expressions are, and if you want to scold me, I didn't give them a chance, so I left with the box in hand, and now I think about it, I think I was really cool at the time."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's quite relieved to hear you say that."

Lin Qingya smiled and said mischievously, "I think so too, although I don't think it should be right, but I still think it's cool to think about it. I can't live so stupidly in the future. I want to be nice to those who treat me well. It's not good for me, I can leave it behind if I have a clear conscience. After returning to Yanjing, I changed my phone number. Anyway, they haven't visited me in Yanjing for so many years, I don't know. Where do I live, where do I work, and when I change my phone number, they don't bother me anymore."

Li Mu smiled and nodded. He wanted to praise Lin Qingya for making a correct decision, but Lin Qingya looked at herself and asked, "Mr. Li, can I ask you something?"

Li Mu said, "You say it."

Lin Qingya said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to lean on your shoulder. I'm still a little uncomfortable at the moment, but don't worry, I won't make your shoulder wet."

Li Mu saw that she was talking like a joke, but there was a hint of helplessness in her words. He didn't think much about it, nodded lightly, sat in front of her, patted his shoulders and said, "Come on."

Lin Qingya smiled shyly, and said, "Mr. Li, you are indeed the best boss I have ever met. Don't worry, I will just rely on you."

After speaking, Lin Qingya slowly tilted her head with a smile, leaned her face lightly on Li Mu's shoulder, and sighed after a while, "It's nice to have someone to lean on at this time..."

Li Mu looked at the time. At ten o'clock in the evening, there were still two or so hours before the departure of the train she was going to take, and he said softly, "Just take a moment, I'll take you to the station at eleven o'clock."

"Well, thank you Mr. Li."

Lin Qingya, who was leaning on Li Mu's shoulder, felt an unprecedented sense of security in her heart. Li Mu let herself squint for a while.

The eyelids got heavier and heavier, and finally one couldn't hold back and fell asleep on Li Mu's shoulder.

Li Mu also closed his eyes and squinted for a while but did not sleep. After more than ten minutes, he felt that his shoulders were a little hot. He opened his eyes and saw that Lin Qingya, who was sleeping with her eyes closed on her shoulders, was silent in the corners of both eyes. Tears welled up.

Li Mu didn't react, let alone wipe away her tears. He didn't move, even breathing carefully, for fear of disturbing her.

Li Mu knew that grief was more important than death, but if she could completely give up on the fetters in her life, it would not be a bad thing. Lin Qingya was experiencing the moment of phoenix nirvana. Coming out of the shadows, she will be able to become stronger, which is not a good thing for her.
