Lin Ci chuckled and explained patiently to Lei Ting.
"You are wrong to think so. You are considering it from a stranger's perspective because you are clear-headed and know clearly that there is no blood relationship between you and the old lady.
But the old lady wouldn't think so. I am his son and you are his daughter-in-law. This is an indelible fact in his heart.
Think about it from another perspective. If you have a quarrel with your mother, where will you go? "
As Lin Ci asked the question, he turned to look at Lei Ting, waiting for his reply.
Lei Ting raised her eyes as she walked, thinking about this question seriously, and recalled where she went when she was a child after quarreling with her parents.
And where do the kids around you go after they have a fight with their family?
After thinking for a while, Lei Ting turned to Lin Ci and answered.
“The scenario you just described assumes that if I were on the street I would go home first.
Or I would go to a friend's house, or walk aimlessly on the street, and would not choose to go home."
Lin Ci nodded meaningfully, then shook his head.
This action made Lei Ting confused about what Lin Ci wanted to express.
"What is this action?"
"I mean, it's both right and wrong."
Lin Ci responded calmly and continued to explain to him.
“At the peak of anger, there are indeed many extreme behaviors, and of course there are more serious behaviors than what you just described.
When your anger slowly dissipates from your heart, where will you end up?"
"go home."
After Lei Ting finished speaking, she blinked at Lin Ci, as if waiting for Lin Ci to comment on her answer. Of course, she hoped that the answer would be correct.
Lin Ci nodded.
"You're right, so we're going home now."
"But I'm worried that the old lady will kick us out when we get home, so why not leave on our own initiative?"
Lei Ting responded with some concern.
Lin Ci shook his head.
"You are wrong to think this way. You are still looking at this matter from the perspective of an outsider.
Even if real parents argue with their son outwardly, they definitely don't want him to leave in their hearts.
He knew clearly in his heart that if you wanted to leave, his son would be taken away.
Even if he is extremely vicious and wants you to leave home, he will definitely try to keep you in order to prevent his son from leaving."
After listening to this, Lei Ting suddenly realized and couldn't help but say to Lin Ci.
"It turns out that I am all thanks to you."
"We were just playing around."
【654】Everything is under control
“It doesn’t matter who it’s thanks to.
The important thing is that we must follow our own heart.
I believe that if you really plan to leave now, you will regret it within half an hour, worrying that the old lady will not be able to find us.
I also worry that the old lady is too sarcastic and says bad things about you to everyone in the village, so they don't know. Who is the daughter-in-law? But the village chief knows.
You must be thinking that the village chief will laugh at you, because you promised him that you would take care of the old lady, but now you can't stand it and run away at the last minute. "
Lin Ci understood Lei Ting's mental state very clearly.
Lei Ting thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. She smiled a little embarrassedly.
Then Lei Ting and Lin Ci walked towards the old lady’s small yard.
We have only walked half the distance.
Lei Ting felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have gotten so angry at the old lady.
While walking forward, he looked back from time to time to see if the old lady was catching up with him.
Lei Ting couldn't help but worry after not seeing the old lady for several times.
"Should we go back and apologize to the old lady?"
Lin Ci shook his head without hesitation.
"I will never go back."
"I'm worried that the old lady might do something drastic."
Lei Ting expressed her concerns.
Lin Ci continued to shake his head, denying Lei Ting's idea and explained to him.
“You see, you are so soft-hearted. You were very angry at that time, but now you start to regret what you did.
If you keep doing this, you will always be controlled by the old lady.
We must give him a warning so that he can realize that everything he did was wrong.
Only in this way can you rebuild your image in the old lady’s heart.”
After listening to Lin Ci, Lei Ting felt that what Lin Ci said made sense, so she had no choice but to follow his ideas and obediently followed Lin Ci back to the old lady's small yard.
Small yard.
Lin Ci and Lei Ting walked in.
After all, they were still guests. Lei Ting felt that it was not appropriate to break into someone else's home without the owner's consent.
After hesitating for a moment, he found two small stools in the small courtyard and sat down.
The two of them waited for the old lady to come back.
After half an hour.
Lei Ting still didn't hear any footsteps, nor did he see the old lady. He began to worry.
He knew clearly in his heart that even if he told Lin Ci, the answer he would get would only comfort himself. He had to calm himself down, relax his mind, and wait for the old lady, who would come back home sooner or later.
If Lin Ci was really worried, he would have stood up and pulled Lei Ting to start looking for her.
Lei Ting stood up, walked out of the small courtyard, and stood at the door looking around.
Repeated back and forth action.
After seeing this, Lin Ci couldn't help but say to him.
"Just sit here and wait patiently."
"I knew you would say that. Aren't you worried about the old lady?"
Lei Ting asked back.
"Of course I'm worried, but what's the point of worrying? He might go to his neighbors to complain to vent his dissatisfaction and won't be able to return home for a while.
If you go out again and again like this, be careful not to run into the old lady who is rushing back. When she sees you like this, she will definitely feel worried about her and her arrogance will become even more arrogant. Isn't the purpose of doing this to eliminate the arrogance in her heart?
To make your life a little easier, I advise you to just sit here quietly.
If it really is true, the whole village will rush over, and we will get the news by the way."
Lin Ci comforted Lei Ting even more deeply.
Lei Ting had no choice but to sit next to Mingming obediently.
About half an hour later, the old lady appeared in front of the two of them, standing at the gate of the small courtyard.
Mingming looked up and saw that the old lady was unharmed, holding a basket with freshly picked vegetables by Lei Ting and Lin Ci.
The vegetable basket was fuller than before, as if the old lady had picked a little more before coming back.
When the old lady saw the two people sitting in the small yard, the expression on her face became extremely ugly again. When she was about to mock her daughter-in-law, Lin Ci did not give her a chance. He grabbed Lei Ting's hand and walked into the house.
There was a bang.
Lin Ci deliberately slammed the door shut, and a loud noise was heard.
The old lady stood there in a daze, muttering to herself uncontrollably.
"Is it necessary? You're so angry. I just said a few words casually.
You really have forgotten your mother after getting a wife, and now you don’t even take me seriously.”
Lin Ci pulled Lei Ting into the bedroom, closed the door and locked it.
Lei Ting looked out through the window.
The old lady has lived alone for many years and her health is not as good as before. She is too lazy to clean the house. There is a layer of dust on the glass, which makes it difficult for the sunlight to shine in completely. Looking outside, one can only roughly see a figure, and there is no way to clearly see the facial expression on the old lady's face.
"Are we going a little too far?"
"Everything is under my control."
Lin Ci patted his chest confidently.
【655】Hungry
"I think we've gone too far. Will the old lady be sad?"
Lei Ting pursed her lips and lowered her head in dismay.
"Don't worry, even if something goes wrong, I will take all the responsibility on myself."
Lin Ci was full of responsibility and looked at Lei Ting seriously.
But Lei Ting didn't think so.
"You can indeed take responsibility for yourself, and I believe you have the ability and responsibility to do so.
The old lady would definitely not think so. You must have thought that it was me who dragged me back here and that I was the mastermind behind all the actions.
How could he possibly blame all the bad things on his beloved son, Sun Shangxiang?"
"Don't worry, don't worry so much."
Lin Ci reached out and touched his head.
The moment she was touched, Lei Ting felt an electric current running straight through her heart.
He was caught off guard and trembled all over. He quickly turned his head to the side, and a hint of shyness appeared on his face uncontrollably.
Lei Ting and Lin Ci have known each other for quite some time.
The two of them also experienced some things. In critical moments, Lin Ci would always have physical contact with Lei Ting, such as arms, hands, cheeks, hair...
Lei Ting didn't know why her sensitivity was still so strong.
If it were Wang Dadong, Lei Ting would only feel disgusted.
The old lady did not walk into the alley, nor did she knock on the door of the bedroom where the two people were.
I heard the old lady walk straight to the house at the side, and then there was no sound.
The long wait during this period is the most tormenting.
Lei Ting couldn't help but walk to the bedroom door, quietly opened a crack, and looked around.
He turned around and whispered to Lin Ci.
"Why can't I see the old lady?"
"Don't panic."
Lin Ci, I don’t know what the old lady is doing.
But he knew clearly in his heart that both sides were angry about the other's behavior and were holding their breath, and no one was willing to apologize to the other.
The more critical the moment, the more you need to keep a calm mind and deal with it.
Once her defense was broken, Lei Ting took the initiative to apologize to the old lady, but the old lady remained calm and maintained a condescending attitude towards Lei Ting.
Only by making the old lady truly realize that what she just said was too much can the relationship between the two parties be eased.
