Chapter 270 Suffocating Family - Blind Date Life
Zhou Leng felt that You Tong had only done a few things in her life: listening to her mother, working, and going on blind dates. In between, she also held funerals for her elders. It was a complicated yet simple life.
This life is either about saying goodbye or on the way to saying goodbye.
Grandfather You passed away when Zhou Leng was 35 years old. He was quite peaceful when he left. He died peacefully of old age without any illness.
After Grandpa You passed away, You Shengli said he wanted to take Grandma You to live with him in the city, but the old lady was very disgusted with the thought of him living with a man and refused to go no matter what.
Every Saturday and Sunday, You Shengli would go back to the town to accompany his mother, and work in the city at other times.
Zhou Leng would also drive to visit the elderly when he was resting.
Unfortunately, the elderly man living alone fell ill half a year later due to poor health and psychological reasons.
When You Shengli returned home to visit his mother, he found that his mother had fainted at home, so he quickly sent her to the hospital.
After receiving the news, Zhou Leng also went to the hospital to visit his grandmother.
Grandma You was lying on the hospital bed, looking emaciated. When she saw Zhou Leng coming in, she reached out to hold her granddaughter's hand, trembling.
Zhou Leng held her grandmother's hand tightly, she looked at her and said:
"Why did you faint at home? I thought you didn't want to live with your father, so I rented a house and you can live with me. My mother will let her live by herself for a while. When you are better, we can talk about returning to the town to live alone."
Grandma You shook her head and said weakly:
"Tongtong, that's how grandma is. Don't bother me. Now that your grandpa is gone, his children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. At the beginning, grandma was thinking that your dad couldn't live alone, so she chose to hide it from your mom. This is the only bad thing she has done in her life, but she doesn't regret it. She is dying and has come to terms with it. I know your thoughts and difficulties. Just be yourself and live the life you want. That's how life is."
Zhou Leng patted the old man's hand soothingly and said:
"Grandma, don't worry. I will live a good life and take care of dad, and take care of him until the end of his life."
Grandma You looked a little ashamed. She patted her granddaughter's hand and stopped talking. After three or five minutes, You Shengli came in with a lunch box. Looking at Zhou Leng sitting on the chair, he nodded and greeted him.
This went on for two months, with the father and daughter taking turns to accompany the child in the hospital.
Grandma You, whose health had already improved a lot, insisted on being discharged from the hospital and returning to the town. You Shengli had no choice but to take his mother back to the town to live. He applied for early retirement from the company and planned to stay with his mother in the town. After all, he had been worried since he saw someone faint last time.
The mother and son spent two years in the town like this.
When Zhou Leng was 37 years old, Wang Hehua could not sleep all night because his daughter did not get married.
The arrogance and pickiness of the past are now gone, and Zhou Leng's blind date has changed from a handsome young man to a greasy middle-aged uncle, and even a greasy uncle with a child.
It's another blind date day.
The man opposite was obviously a gentleman. He looked at Zhou Leng with a self-proclaimed gentlemanly manner and a secretly scrutinizing look, but the words he said were so vulgar and unreasonable:
"At your age, it's probably difficult to have children, but you're married for the first time and you look young, like a girl in her twenties, so you've taken good care of yourself. I have two children, but they belong to my ex-wife, and I just need to pay child support every month. If you think it's okay, we can live together and give it a try. After all, we're all adults, and we can only know if it's suitable after giving it a try."
Zhou Leng looked at the man with a bright smile and said politely:
"Everything you said is fine, but I don't know if you can take a beating. I've practiced martial arts for eight years, and I like to fight whenever I have nothing to do. But don't worry, I usually practice fighting, I won't hurt you, at most it'll just be bruises, and it will heal in a few days. If you can accept that, we can get married right away. I don't mind that you're old and frail, and you may not be able to hold out for two minutes. After all, these are trivial matters, as long as you can take a beating."
The man's expression changed slightly. He stared at Zhou Leng seriously. Looking at the other party's clenched fist, he frowned and said:
"You're kidding, you look pretty thin."
Zhou Leng replied: "It doesn't matter. I have to say it in advance. Why don't we practice first? If you feel you can handle it, we can go get the certificate."
The man couldn't help but said angrily: "Are you sick? You are a psychopath and you are still going out for a blind date. I think..."
Zhou Leng clenched her fists and looked at the other person with a cruel smile.
The man quickly picked up the coat that was placed on the seat next to him and left quickly.
Two minutes later, Wang Hehua was sitting opposite the booth.
Wang Hehua, who was already 62 years old, had fashionable curly hair, dyed brown hair, and wore reading glasses. She was holding the worn-out notebook in her hand. She looked at Zhou Leng angrily and said:
"My daughter, look at what you just said. You are old now and can no longer be picky."
Zhou Leng replied: "Did you hear what he said? I told you a long time ago that I was afraid of becoming a mother like you and would never get married and have children. You forced me to come to a blind date, so I came. After all, I am a good and obedient child."
Wang Hehua couldn't help but whispered:
"If you don't get married, your life will be imperfect. If you don't have children, you will be an imperfect woman. Mom can't let your life be imperfect, okay? Because of you, Mom has insomnia. I can't sleep all night long. Mom is almost tortured to death by you. Now what do people say about you? They say you are an old leftover woman who can't get married. You have made Mom lose face."
"Oh."
Wang Hehua was even more angry at the understated answer. She slammed the table hard, pointed at Zhou Leng's nose and said:
"You want me to die with regret, don't you?"
Everyone in the cafe looked at him strangely.
"Oh, then you can die with regrets. There is nothing you can do about it. After all, I will die with regrets if I get married. You love me so much, so you must not want me to die with regrets. Don't worry, mom. I have only met more than a thousand people."
Wang Hehua glared angrily.
Zhou Leng smiled like a flower and continued:
"Let me tell you a funny story. Yesterday, a former blind date said he wanted to divorce his wife, so I asked him if he would find another partner after the divorce. As a result, his wife sent me a message today to thank me, and her husband apologized and realized that she was a good wife."
Wang Hehua pointed at his daughter and said, "Look at you now. You are going to become a well-known leftover woman in this city."
Zhou Leng was about to speak when the phone interrupted her.
After Zhou Leng answered the phone, she hurriedly got up and ran out, saying, "My grandma is in trouble, you go home by yourself."
Wang Hehua took a breath and sat down, muttering, "Old fool, you really know how to rush things!" She drank the remaining coffee in front of Zhou Leng, then took her senior citizen card and took the bus home.
