Entertaining Into Bitterness Drama

Chapter 13: Stepmother Three

Mercury has long discovered that this world is not the real world, it can only be called the projection and derivation of the original world, and many things are not exactly the same.

closer to the sea.

At this time, the train has not been officially put into private use for too long, and the ticket is very expensive. When communication is not developed, no matter how you travel, it is tiring and expensive. Mercury sat in a position by the window, with the luggage bag on the inside, and He Xiaoyan sat on top of her.

The two turned to look out the window together.

It was late at night, very quiet, and the people who got on the bus seldom spoke. They walked to their seats and sat down. Occasionally someone whispered a few words. There were few lights in the dark world outside, only the dark rolling hills outlined a side in the night. The whistle of the train and the click of the tracks were distinctly distinct, repeating with a sleepy rhythm.

He Xiaoyan fell asleep on her lap. Children of this age are indeed very sleepy at this time. Mercury didn’t want to sleep. The lights in the carriage went off after driving for a while, and there was only a little light in the carriage. She looked at the dark world outside, and at the woody face reflected on the window glass.

The train is real, the mountains, trees and people outside are real, the passengers on the train are real, and He Xiaoyan in her arms is real, maybe only she herself said to be false.

In such a quiet night, she has a kind of homeless loneliness.

Maybe the night is quiet, Mercury is calm, and he can talk to idiots normally.

If you have a bad husband and a crying child, you can feel lonely too, not just lonely but bored. If I am willing to be lively, there are countless ways, I will choose the most masochistic one if I am crazy]

【You are just an ordinary woman, why can’t you let yourself be weaker, relying on men is a woman’s nature】

[Everyone is weak, not just women]

[Talking to you makes me feel lonelier because you can never understand me and there are too many people like you]

[I was born a normal person, but I still want to be free. You are a controlled system, you were never born with a taste of freedom, how can you understand this]

[…]

Mercury did not sleep all night, she watched the train stop at the platform several times, and people got on and off the train one after another, the sky slowly appeared white, the farmland by the roadside became clear, and the darkness of the night became Fresh and green.

He Xiaoyan also woke up, she got up and stood on the side to move her hands and feet, and very obediently beat the numb legs and hands to Mercury, but Mercury didn’t care about her, let her beat.

The car suddenly went dark, He Xiaoyan immediately leaned over to hold Mercury’s hand and looked around in horror.

Mercury: “The car was going through the tunnel, and a road was dug in the cave for the car to drive through.”

He Xiaoyan made a shocking gasp.

She is too young, she has seen only the world of one acre and one third of the land, and she does not know that the outside world is changing with each passing day, and many cities are completely different from the small places where they live.

He Xiaoyan was shocked by the train when she got on the train. When they arrived at the Shanghai market after a long train ride, they were immediately shocked by the difference in this place.

The car on the side of the road made her avoid like a snake, and her front and back heels were beside Mercury, making her unable to walk. Quicksilver stopped, “What are you afraid of?”

He Xiaoyan didn’t dare to speak, she thought her mother was reprimanding herself.

Mercury: “What are you afraid of?”

He Xiaoyan felt that she was not angry, so she twisted her fingers and whispered: “Can that big monster eat people?”

She was talking about the kind of car that drives by the side of the road.

Mercury: “…”

She never thought that one day she would have nothing to say.

Mercury had been to the Shanghai stock market in the original world, and lived there for a while, but the Shanghai stock market now is very different from the later one, even if it can shock the little buns like He Xiaoyan, I have seen the most Mercury, the bustling Shanghai market scene, is still too depressed here.

For the first time, Mercury took He Xiaoyan to find a place to live. Quicksilver is a very mobile person, and she has already figured out where to live on the train. She doesn’t have a lot of money in her hand, so she definitely can’t live in the city center, and she may not be able to rent a satisfactory house by renting a house, so she plans to go to the older districts of the Shanghai market to have a look.

The houses in these districts were built very early, not as trendy and lively as other places, but they are the most suitable for living. Mercury knew that he and He Xiaoyan were a woman and a child, and they must not live in a chaotic place to save money, otherwise they would not be able to live here.

However, the combination of women and children has both inconveniences and convenience, that is, it is easy to win the trust of others.

Mercury walked around several old streets, wrote down the house numbers around, and observed the conditions of those houses. Many people here have trees and flowers in their yards, and the people who live there are also older. She walked several streets before picking a spot.

She led He Xiaoyan to a stop in front of a house with mottled walls, but there was an osmanthus tree in the yard, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

A middle-aged woman who appeared to be in her fifties came out to answer the door, with a puzzled face: “Who is Nong looking for?”

Mercury showed a little embarrassment, “I’m here to find He Dongpeng.”

I heard her voice was not from the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the aunt looked at her and He Xiaoyan again, and said strangely: “We don’t have a person named He Dongpeng here, are you looking in the wrong place? ”

Mercury showed some anxiety, “How come, the address I inquired is here.”

My aunt saw her anxious look and said, “Show me the address for you. Is it here?”

It’s not bad, the first person I met was a warm-hearted person. Mercury thought to himself, with an embarrassed look on his face, “I lost the address on the road, but I remember it is No. 25 Chunshan Road, Nangang District.”

“There is no Chunshan Road here. This is Chunfeng Road. Did you get the address wrong? Do you know the phone number? I have a phone number at my house. Please call and ask.”

“I don’t know the phone number, I came to find my husband, he left our mother and daughter and ran away with other women. This year, my mother-in-law passed away. I brought my daughter to look for him. The address is I heard it from someone else.” Mercury started to wipe her tears.

The wife of the scumbag.” The war is not over, everything is unstable, it is too difficult to communicate with each other too far away, and no one can check whether what she said is right or not, and there is no pressure on Mercury to tell these lies.

My aunt apparently often heard about this kind of thing in the newspapers, and looked at the mother and daughter with sympathy.

He Xiaoyan didn’t know what her mother was saying, she felt a little incomprehensible, and she was afraid of strangers, so she had to open a pair of pitiful round black eyes, leaning tightly beside Mercury, two One is sad and the other is ignorant, making people involuntarily sympathize.

“We finally got here…Auntie, is there really no one named He Dongpeng around you?”

My aunt looked at the hopeful woman in front of her. Although she couldn’t bear it, she still shook her head.

Mercury cried softly as she thanked her, He Xiaoyan was puzzled, why did her calm and powerful mother cry so sadly? She foolishly tugged on Mercury’s hand, “Mom won’t cry anymore.”

My aunt couldn’t bear it anymore, looked at the sky, “Oh, it’s getting dark, what are you going to do now?”

Mercury wiped her tears and thanked her again, “I want to see if there is anyone renting out a house nearby. I want to live first and find someone slowly. I will definitely find someone.”

My aunt is very sorry: “I have too many people in my family and there are not enough rooms, otherwise I will let you stay for one night.”

Mercury didn’t care, she didn’t want to find a place to live so smoothly, she just gave it a try, she wanted to rent a place around this place, of course she had to do it first. The houses here are quite old, and there are always people with financial constraints who are willing to rent a room to them.

At this time, the door of the house opposite them was opened, and a grizzled, bespectacled grandmother heard the voice and came out and asked, “Yingdan, are your relatives here?”

My aunt took a look at the mother and son of Mercury and said, oops, and told the grandma about their situation. She wanted to help, so she said: “You have many rooms in your house, otherwise you will rent one to them. Your granddaughter said last time that she would find a nanny for you, but you refused to ask for it. Many things are inconvenient when you are old. There is a tenant. It’s good to be with you.”

The very kind grandma pushed up her glasses and looked at the mercury. When she saw He Xiaoyan, she smiled, “Alright.”

waving to the two of them, “Come here first, have you eaten? Eat first and tell me about your situation.”

Mercury smiled gratefully at her aunt, and led He Xiaoyan into the grandmother’s yard.

Although many people in this era are still ignorant in their thinking, but the enthusiastic people are also really enthusiastic, unlike the modern people who have been subjected to various frauds in later generations, so they are always vigilant.

My grandmother’s surname is Yang, she is not a native of Shanghai stock market, she came to Shanghai stock market with her husband in her early years, lived here for decades, now her wife died, and her child moved out when she was older She lives alone.

Mercury saw well-cared for flowers and plants in the yard. Although the furnishings in the house are old but clean, it is very smelly. Grandma Yang herself is also a temperamental person. There is an English book on the small table in the rattan chair, and an old piano covered with white lace cloth is placed in the corner. Grandma Yang got along.

Mercury is a person, no one can live a good life when she doesn’t want to live, but when she wants to live, she can live better than most people.

In front of the aunt just now, she showed more of a sympathetic side, but in the face of this grandma Yang, she intentionally or unintentionally showed good upbringing and conversation . After all, Grandma Yang looks like a person who is not very short of money, and it is unlikely that she will rent a house to anyone for rent. She has to make her feel that it suits her temperament, so renting a room here is almost guaranteed.

Although this is not the same landlord that Mercury was looking for at first, it is obviously better than what she thought, and the safety factor is higher.

They ate a meal together, and Mercury slowly reiterated the character that he had thought of. He didn’t say it in too much detail. If it was too detailed, it would be easy to reveal the contents. It is appropriate to use it on some issues Showing an attitude of not talking is more likely to make people rational and sympathetic.

“You speak English?” Grandma Yang looked at her in surprise. Mercury’s distressed appearance and shabby clothes really don’t look like a learned person.

“Yes, I learned it before, but only later…” Mercury stopped talking with a wry smile, and said in a melancholy tone, “It’s been useless for a long time.”

Grandma Yang nodded, “Indeed, I heard some of your voices are not accurate.”

This is not a problem of mercury, but the English pronunciation of this time is somewhat different from the ‘standard” English of later generations.

“If possible, I really want to ask you for advice.” Mercury smiled, with a sincere face.

Grandma Yang smiled happily, “That’s a good feeling, I’m bored here alone, it’s much better to have a company. It’s not easy for you to bring your children alone, if you want, you can Stay with me first.”
