Chapter Six: Mental Torture from Father 1

A few days after the brothers returned, they didn’t know whether Wu’s father was too lonely or was really afraid, so he beat him every two days. He said he was coming to visit relatives, so he first called Wu Qing. Wu Qing said he could come, but he had to help take care of his wife. When his father heard that he was asked to serve others, he quit, so he called Wu Yi. , Wu Yi did not agree with his father coming. He knew that his father was a big trouble. Once he got involved, he would not be able to get rid of him. However, Mingxia did not know his father's character and kept urging him to take his father over to live with him. In the end, Wu Yi Yi relented and agreed to replace the one-bedroom apartment with a two-bedroom apartment and took Wu's father over.

On the first day Wu’s father came here, he expressed dissatisfaction with the two-bedroom apartment Wu Yi rented. He turned around gloomily, curled his lips and said, “The lighting is not good, and the house is old and small. , The floor has cracks, the toilet is narrow, the furniture and appliances are not new models, and the TV is small..." I commented while watching, like a leader going to the countryside to inspect work.

Ming Xia seemed a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "Dad, although this house is not very good, the transportation is very convenient. There is a subway just a few steps downstairs. There are also many buses downstairs. You can It is very convenient to live here and travel. There is also a large shopping mall opposite. It is convenient for you to buy whatever you want. By the way, there are two large supermarkets nearby. If you want to eat something, there are supermarkets. Yes..."

"Okay, stop talking, I will go see what you said myself. How much does this house cost per month?" Wu Yi asked directly.

"Three?". Before Ming Xia's thousand words came out, Wu Yi quickly blocked her thousand words and said, "Five thousand."

"Which is three thousand or five thousand? You kid, are you fooling me? "Okay, Xiaoxia, you answer." Wu's father is an old man who has seen through Wu Yi's little thoughts and didn't give him a chance to defend himself.

"Dad, this house originally cost 5,000. We found an acquaintance and finally sold it for 3,000. However, including the monthly property fees, water and electricity bills, etc., it also costs 4,000, haha. "Ming Xia is not good at lying, but she tries her best to come back for Wu Yiyuan.

"I said you are too young. Just this house, three thousand. If I were here, one thousand would be enough. I said, Wu Yi, how come you only grow a body but not a brain?" , when your mother had that operation, she was deceived, and she gave the doctor tens of thousands in vain. But in the end, your mother still left. Now she is renting a house, and she was tricked by others. Which acquaintance are you looking for? , I'll go meet him."

"What the hell, you think you are a gang boss. This is Shenzhen, not a small rural area. One step ahead is Guannai. You can rent it in this area for 3,000. A two-bedroom apartment is pretty good, but you don’t understand the market, so what are you talking about?" Wu Yi said displeased.

"Who are you yelling at? Who are you talking about? When you grow up and your wings become stronger, you dare to challenge me, right?" said Father Wu, not to be outdone.

Mingxia was worried that the quarrel between the two would continue and would not end, so she hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, pulled Wu Yi away, and said gently to Wu's father: "Uncle, don't be angry. Wu Yi has been under great pressure at work recently. Big, I work during the day and have classes at night. I don’t get enough sleep and my temper is a little bit bad. Don’t be like him. Come on, I’ll take my uncle to see the room.”

“Oh, girl, you are right to say this. , You should have this attitude towards your father. It’s wrong to yell at me like he did. Well, I’m tired after riding in the car for a day. For your sake, I won’t argue with him. "< /p>

Wu Yi wanted to say something more, but looking at Ming Xia’s eyes, he finally closed his mouth.

Mingxia led Wu’s father into the room. Wu’s father took a look. Although the room was not big, only about 10 square meters, the windows were bright and clean. The bed and bedding are also new, and there is also a wooden wardrobe and a small square table. The wardrobe is a bit old. Father Wu was a little dissatisfied and asked: "Why is the bed new and the wardrobe old? This doesn't match?"

< p> Mingxia smiled apologetically and said: "Dad, it doesn't matter if the wardrobe is old or new. It can be used to hold clothes. You also know our current economic conditions. This house is rented and signed once a year. If we move in the future, such a large wardrobe will not matter. It's not easy to move it away. Buy a second-hand one so you won't need it anymore and you won't feel bad if you throw it away.

"

"Why is there no TV in this room? What should I watch at night? I watch the news broadcast every day. You want me to come to your room and watch it. I, an old man, will go. Things are not going well in the house for you young couple. Besides, you two are just boyfriend and girlfriend, in love.

Ming Xia was a little embarrassed, but she still tried her best to smile and said: "Dad, you don't have to go to our house. There is a small TV in the living room and a sofa to sit on. You can watch it in the living room without disturbing me." us. "

"You said that boxy thing in the living room, as big as a cutting board, is a TV? Xiaoxia, don’t fool me. The black and white TV in our house from more than 20 years ago looks thicker than that one. Is that a TV? "

"Uncle, how can I fool you? You can indeed watch the news broadcast. To be precise, it is not a TV, it should be called a display screen. "

"What screen? You say it again. ”

“Display screen, have you seen a computer before? That is the display screen of a computer. Because you are coming, Wu Yi took it out and used it as a TV for you to watch. ”

“Mingxia, it’s not me who said that. Look what you are doing. It doesn’t matter if the wardrobe is old. I want a TV. You give me a display screen. , Do I only watch one news network a day, and I don’t need to watch other programs? When there is no news network, I just sit there in a daze, like that mummy, motionless.

Mingxia smiled and said: "Uncle, you are quite humorous. Let me tell you, you can watch a lot of programs on that display screen. As long as you connect it to a wifi box, there are hundreds of programs in it." Qian's drama, what do you want to watch? Just search and it will come out. It is much better than that TV, and the plot updates quickly and there are no ads. How about I try to show it to you? ”

“Try? "Father Wu also became interested and followed Ming Xia wherever he went.

After Ming Xia did a few operations, Father Wu was very satisfied and said nothing more.

In the past three days, The two accompanied Wu's father around Shenzhen and visited many places, including museums, citizen squares, Shenzhen Bay, folk villages, mangroves... Wu's father was like a child, taking pictures everywhere with his mobile phone, and even recording after taking the pictures. , carrying three power banks a day was barely enough.

Wu Yi was already exhausted. He had to go to night school during the day, and finally came back in the middle of the night and wanted to have a good sleep. Wu's father sat down. He turned on the TV loudly in the living room, drank white wine and peanuts, danced and laughed while watching the TV series. Several times, Wu Yi wanted to rush out and turn off the TV. Every time, Ming Xia held him back and told him not to go out, saying that it would be fine once the old man got over his excitement. Wu Yi said angrily: "I will be tortured to death before he gets over his excitement. "

Ming Xia said: "As soon as you go out, the two of you will definitely quarrel, which will not be good if it affects the neighbors. ”

“If he had some scruples, he wouldn’t drive so loudly. No, I have to go out and talk, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep. "

"Don't, don't go out, cover your head with a quilt and go to sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow, so don't worry about it. "After saying that, Ming Xia yawned, obviously very sleepy.

Wu Yi didn't want to make Ming Xia unable to sleep because he went out to make a noise, so he had to cover his head with the quilt and pretend not to hear. He was obviously very sleepy. , but he was restless and couldn't fall asleep. He didn't fall asleep until dawn.

Not long after he slept, the alarm rang. It was time to go to work. He got up tiredly and rubbed his hands. Rubbing his eyes, he dragged his heavy body to open the door and went out. Seeing Ming Xia still in the living room, he was surprised: "Why are you still here? If you don't leave, you will be late. "

"Your dad is in there and hasn't come out yet. I'm so nervous. "Ming Xia pointed to the bathroom door.

Wu Yi went up and knocked, "Dad, come out quickly. What are you doing in there? We have to go to work this early in the morning. You We can't waste our time by standing in the latrine without taking a dump. "

"Wait a minute, soon, um, hum. "Father Wu grunted in response.

"What the hell are you doing? Come out quickly. "

"I have a stomachache and have had diarrhea three times. "

"I know that my stomach is not good, but I still drink and eat in the middle of the night. Please hurry up and take it out. Mingxia and I haven't washed our faces and brushed our teeth yet, so hurry up. "Wu Yi scolded.

"Forget it, I'll go get on the subway. I'm leaving. You should move quickly and don't be late." Ming Xia said to Wu Yida.

"You haven't brushed your teeth yet."

"I won't brush my teeth today. I bought a box of chewing gum at a convenience store on the way to deodorize it. I'm leaving." After that, Ming Xia flew by The ground left.

After Ming Xia left, Wu Yi didn’t want to stay any longer. He picked up his bag and prepared to go to work. As soon as he put on his shoes, Wu’s father walked out of the bathroom, covering his stomach with his hands, and curled up on the sofa. He shouted, "Xiao Yi, I'm going to die. Send me to the hospital quickly and call 120."

Wu Yi was furious and said, "You just pull a Stomach, what does it have to do with death? Well, take some medicine, go to the room and lie down for a while, and it will be fine later.”

“I took the medicine this morning, but it didn’t work. Please call 120 immediately.” Call an ambulance to take me to the hospital. If it's any later, I won't be able to see your mother." Wu Yi looked at the medicine in his hand and saw that none of it had been touched. He looked at the person in front of him. The father, who lied without blinking an eye, said helplessly: "I'll give you money, and you take a taxi to the hospital. I don't have time to accompany you, and I have to go to work."

"How much do you want to pay? Ah, big hospitals are expensive, and you don’t have enough money to get medical treatment.”

“You can get a doctor’s number and prescribe some medicine for diarrhea. 200 yuan is enough.”

“200 yuan. It’s not enough. I need to be registered as an expert in this situation. Oops, I can’t help it anymore. Forget it if I die. If I die, I can see your mother. Your mother misses me, so I want to see her. "< /p>

At this time, Wu Yi was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He really didn’t want to see this troublesome person with a hypocritical face, but he had no choice. He had already taken over, so he had to patiently say : "I'll give you 500, do whatever you want."

Seeing that the performance was almost done and the goal was achieved, Wu's father said, "Then put the money on the table, and I'll go to the hospital in a minute. ."

Wu Yi took out 500 yuan from his wallet, put it on the table, and slammed the door. As soon as Wu's father saw Wu Yi leaving, he immediately jumped up from the sofa, picked up the money on the table, counted it, happily changed his clothes and prepared to go out.

When he got off work, Wu Yi called Mingxia and asked her what she wanted to eat at night. He stopped by the vegetable market to buy food. Mingxia hesitated and said: "Eating out at night, your dad We've already booked a place and will wait there."

"What?" Wu Yi asked in surprise: "You asked him to book it?"

"He just called me and said he wanted to eat roast duck. What can I do? I can't refuse your dad, so I agreed."

"Mingxia, you don't know who my dad is. , you have to give him some color, he can support you with a colorful world, if you agree to his request, there will be a steady stream of trouble coming to you later, why didn't you just say it to me, and then agreed. "

"What do you mean? You blame me. That's your dad. What do you want me to do? He moved out of your mom and said he had never eaten Peking duck in his life. He just wanted to satisfy his craving. What can I say? What, what are you yelling at me? If you can, just tell your dad not to do this."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. My tone just now was bad. I'll tell my dad to take back the roast duck. Come on, I’ll buy groceries and cook, and order a roast duck takeout for him, so he can eat it alone.”

“We can’t return it, he’s already in the store, so he has to find it himself. Go ahead and call me to inform me. Your dad has only been here a few days and is more familiar with this area than we are."

Wu Yi was speechless and had to say, "That's it for today. , I'll talk to him tonight."

"Okay." When he arrived at the restaurant, Wu Yi saw the table full of dishes and said unhappily: "There are only three of us. , I can’t finish it even if I order so much.”

“I can’t finish it, so you can take it to the company for lunch tomorrow, right?”

Mingxia. He could only nod and agree: "Uncle is right, I can also take one to the company. I've ordered everything, let's eat."

Wu Yi was filled with anger after eating this meal, but he had one problem I have a strong feeling that this is just the beginning.

"Hey, Dad, what's wrong with you? I'm at work. If you need anything, I'll tell you when I go back tonight." Wu Yi answered the phone, walked to the stairwell of the company and lowered his voice.

“I’ll just say a few words and then hang up.”

“You say it, you say it.

”

“Xiaoyi, I didn’t bring any clothes when I came here. The weather in Shenzhen is very hot. When I woke up early this morning, I could smell the pickled cabbage smell coming from my body. I thought, tomorrow will be a People who love cleanliness, if I wear smelly clothes every day, and she dislikes me and kicks me out within a few days, what can I do? "

Wu Yi's heart skipped a beat. It's only been a few days, and things are happening one after another. How does his father plan to torment him?

"I understand. I'll be here later. I will buy you a few pieces online. Online shopping is very fast now. If you place an order on the same day, the goods will arrive the next day. You can make do with it overnight. ”

“I don’t want things from the Internet. Those things on the Internet cannot be seen or touched. I don’t know whether they fit or are of good quality. I want to buy them myself. ”

“I’m at work now, I’ll take you to buy it. Wait until I’m on the weekend. I won’t work on the weekend, and I’ll take you to buy it.” "

"There are still three days until the weekend. If I stay up for a few more days, I will get prickly heat. I want to buy it today. ”

“Dad, I told you, I don’t have time to accompany you to shop, why don’t you wear my clothes first? Let's go shopping together later. "

"I won't wear yours. Your clothes look older than mine. If you don't take me there, I'll buy them myself. ”

“You buy it yourself, and you don’t know the way. "

"Who said I don't know the road? Ming Xia told me that there is a big shopping mall opposite our house. I am here now. I have already chosen. You can send me the money. . "

Wu Yi gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "How much does it cost?" ”

“I’ll give you 1,000 yuan first. If it’s not enough, I’ll ask you for more.” "

" West? 1000? Dad, do you really think your son is a millionaire? I am just a telemarketer who graduated from high school and is trying to go to college. My monthly salary, commission and bonus are all within 10,000 yuan. Every time I ask for a thousand, you have to risk my life. Besides, you are an old man who wants to wear clothes that cost thousands. I only wear clothes worth a few hundred dollars. Have you been cheated? Don’t buy it. I will take you back later. Come back. "

Wu Yi was so angry that he said a series of words, but Wu's father over there said nothing. Seeing no reply, Wu Yi shouted strangely: "Hey, Dad, what did you hear? Don't buy it. Come back, I'll take you with you on the weekend. ”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu aren’t I even able to wear good clothes?” I also told her that our son will definitely be able to do what I can't do in the future. Now that your mother is gone and you guys dislike me, I'll forget it with your mother, woo woo woo. ”

“Dad, don’t cry anymore. Aren’t you embarrassed? It’s not that I won’t buy it for you. It’s okay for us to buy cheaper ones. Can we keep it within 200 yuan a piece?” ”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I miss your mom. Yesterday, I dreamed of your mom again. I told your mom that you feel better after leaving. Leave me alone. Do you dislike me?” Brother ignores me, and the younger one is busy with work and has no time to look after me. Now I can’t even buy a piece of clothing. Xiang ah (mother’s nickname), I’ll forget it and I’m done with you. ”

“Okay, okay, I’ll buy it for you, I’ll buy it for you, okay, cry, cry, cry, I’m so annoyed.” "Wu Yi was so angry that the veins on his face popped out.

"Well, then you can pay 1,200 yuan to my bank card. It's a postal card. You know, you often pay for living expenses. That one. ”

“Xi, isn’t it 1,000? Just add another 200. "At this time, Wu Yi had completely lost his mind and shouted at the phone.

"You kid, you are not sensible at all. 1,000 is for buying clothes. I don't want to eat out at noon. Well, you still have to take a taxi back. You, a person with a salary of tens of thousands, are arguing with me about the 200. Well, that's it. I'm going to try on clothes. Hurry up and take the taxi. "

Facing this somewhat rogue father, Wu Yi lost his temper. He opened the mobile banking APP and transferred 1,200 yuan as his father said.

"Ding". Wu My father felt happy when he saw the 1,200 yuan credited in the text message. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and shouted to the waiter: "Little girl, wrap this for me, I want it." ”

“Okay, sir, would you like to pay by cash or by card? ”

“Cash, no, swipe the card, the money my son just gave me, hehe. "Father Wu said proudly.

"Your son is so filial. The total amount is ***189 yuan. Please enter your password."

After entering the password, the waiter gave the goods to Wu's father. The father took over and said: "Little girl, is there a coffee and milk tea shop closest to here?"

"Uncle, you want to drink coffee, right? You go forward and take the elevator to the top floor. Then There are several coffee shops, and there are also milk tea shops.”

“Oh, let’s go ahead, okay, I understand, thank you, little girl.”

“You’re welcome. "Master, please take your time. Welcome to visit next time."

Father Wu took the escalator to the top floor, chose a milk tea shop with an elegant environment and sat down, ordered a cup of pearl milk tea for 12 yuan, and looked at it. Looking at the several cakes on the counter, I asked the clerk, "Young man, how much does this cake cost?"

"Uncle, are you talking about this strawberry cake?"

"Yes, that's it. How much does it cost?"

"The small one is 18 yuan, the big one is 28 yuan. Which one do you want, sir?"

"I will I'll ask for it again."

"Okay."

Father Wu muttered, "The small one is 18, the big one is 28, of course it's a good deal." He took out his mobile phone. , dialed Ming Xia's number. After the call was connected, he said to Ming Xia: "Hello, Xiao Xia, I'm uncle."

"Oh, uncle, what can I do for you? "

"I'm at work. I'm sorry for disturbing you."

"Uncle, it's okay. If you have any questions, please tell me. I'm not very busy right now. "

"You're not busy, that's good. I called Wu Yi just now. He said he was busy and even scolded me. Alas, that kid is not sensible at all. Be filial."

"Uncle, Wu Yi is very busy at work. He has to make a lot of phone calls to customers every day. Please understand him."

"I understand him. But he didn’t understand me. You said that I am an old man and came to this strange city. You are all busy at work and have no time to accompany me. I am lonely.”

“Uncle, then go out. Go shopping, go back when you are tired, there are many places near our home, you can pass the time by walking more."

"Yes, I just listened to what you said, come here. There is a shopping mall named XX. I can’t pronounce these few English words, but it’s useless for me to come. I have no money. This is a place where rich people stay. You think I’m an old man? I don’t have a job with a pension, so I can’t even afford a cup of milk tea. 38 a cup is too expensive.” Ming Xia heard that Father Wu wanted money, and she said: “ Uncle, don't worry about money. I have it. I will transfer 100 yuan to you in a minute. You can drink if you want. If one cup is not enough, just drink two cups."

"Oh, you said I am this age. I can't drink so much at such a big age. It will be troublesome to go to the toilet. Xiaoxia, I saw that the cake in the store is good. I want to buy one, but you only gave me 100 yuan, which is not enough. I just asked the clerk, that The strawberry cake is not as big as my palm, and it costs 98 each. Why is the consumption in this big city so expensive? ”

“Uncle, I’ll transfer 200 to you. Have you seen enough?” "

"Xiaoxia, normally you haven't married our Xiaoyi yet, so I shouldn't ask for your money. Instead, I should give it to you. But, you also know that I don't have much money. , an old man from the countryside with no income. This is the first time for me to eat such a good cake, but one cake is not enough for me. You said I have to eat two or three cakes. Aren’t these hundreds of cakes? You are not rich either, you are all working, right? But I can’t control myself when I see good food. You said that if one day I suddenly collapse like Wu Yi’s mother and can’t eat good food, then I will regret it to death. ah. "

Mingxia understood completely this time. It was not how much she said was given, but how much the old man wanted. She asked: "Uncle, how much do you think you need to eat to be satisfied? "

"No matter what, there must be five. "

"Okay, uncle, I'll transfer 500 to you. Have you seen enough? "

"Enough is enough, but it's not enough to just eat cake without drinking something. How about this, you can transfer 600 to me, and I will give you the change in the evening, okay?

Mingxia smiled awkwardly and said, "No, uncle, it's yours if I give it to you. Just give me the card number to which bank card I will transfer it to." ”

“Just transfer it to my living expenses card, and I’ll tell you the card number. ”

“I have the card number. The last time I helped Wu Yi transfer money, I had a deposit here. I will transfer it to you in a moment. "

"Oh, yes, that's good. Don't make the wrong turn. If I do, I won't be able to eat the cake. ”

“That’s right, uncle, if there’s nothing wrong with you, I’ll die. I still have to go to work.” ”

“That’s okay, I won’t disturb your work. I’ll hang up.” "

After hanging up the phone, Wu's father smiled proudly and said to the waiter: "Waiter, bring me a big strawberry cake, 28 yuan." "

"Okay, sir. You wait. ”

“Wait a minute, it’s better to take the smaller one, just take the 18. ”

“Okay. "

After dinner was ready, Wu's father came back slowly from outside, walked in and looked at several home-cooked dishes on the table. He curled his lips and said to Wu Yimingxia: "Well, this It's the cake I brought back for you. Don't say I don't care about you. I remembered to pack it when I went out to eat. This is a freshly baked cream cake. It tastes good. It's 88 each. Eat it. "

"Dad, did you go buy a cake? "Wu Yi asked.

"Didn't you see this? By the way, I've had dinner. Now I have to go back to my room to rest. After walking for a day, I'm almost exhausted. I'm old and can't stand the torment. "

"Dad, didn't you go shopping for clothes today? Where are the clothes you bought? Let us try them on. "

"Did you see it? It's an excellent brand. The clerk said it's a big brand and it's made in Japan. It's the favorite among young people nowadays. It's 998 for a set. It's awesome, hehe. ”

Wu Yi was already furious when he saw the trademark on the bag. How could he not know this brand of clothes? It is indeed the favorite of young people. Everyone likes this brand not because it is expensive, but because it is expensive. On the contrary, because the price of this brand is affordable, the quality is good, and the style is very young, it is the first choice of office workers. My father is now telling lies to such an extent that a set of clothes that only costs 200 yuan at most is being inflated by him. Several times, it became 998, which was really disgusting. He threw the rag in his hand on the table and prepared for a head-on confrontation with his father.

Mingxia saw that the situation was not good and rushed forward. He went to grab Wu Yi, blocked him behind him, and said to Wu's father: "Uncle, aren't you tired? Go back to your room and rest quickly. "

Father Wu closed the door happily as if nothing had happened. The moment he closed the door, a light tune came from the room.

"He also sings, you said he He asked me for 1,200 yuan, and ended up buying a set of clothes for 200 yuan. He told me what a big brand he was talking about. I often wear clothes of this brand. How could I not know the price? Even myself His biological son is cheated, is this still done by humans? "

"Forget it, don't be angry. Money is small, and when you are angry, your body is big. You don't know who your father is. I can tell it through the contact in the past few days. , he talks so much that you can't get a single word of truth out of his mouth. Let's eat. ”

“Humph. "No matter how angry Wu Yi is, he has nothing to do with his father. Who could prevent him from being reincarnated, but he met such a father.

Originally, Ming Xia wanted to tell Wu Yi that he would send money to Wu's father today. Seeing this situation, if you say it again, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.
