That year in the countryside, I attended a religious event that was very important to me personally. At a small temple in the village, I participated in a festival with the residents of the village, praying to the gods for good weather and family safety.
In the past few days, there has been a lot of friction between me and Li Mei. She was harsh with me and accused me of being ignorant, but my father was always on her side.
Every day, there is a tense atmosphere at home, which makes me feel depressed. I tried to communicate with my father many times, but he was always unwilling to listen to my explanations, and I felt very lonely and helpless.
One day, I happened to hear a conversation between Li Mei and her father, and they were talking about me. Li Mei said that I was foolish and ignorant, and asked me to learn more Xi from her.
This sentence surprised me and made me re-examine Li Mei. Maybe she's not as bad as I thought she was, maybe she just wants to help the family.
Although there is still some unhappiness between us, I feel that I am growing, I have learned to understand and tolerate, and I also feel the warmth of family affection.
I know that the bad relationship between me and Li Mei may be the regret of my life.
One day, I overheard Li Mei talking to my father, and she seemed to mention something I didn't know about.
Just then, I received a call from an unfamiliar number, from someone I had never heard of, in a low but firm voice.
He told me many family secrets that I never knew, and I seemed to feel like my whole being was starting to lose my focus.
At the same time, my relationship with Li Mei became strained again. I sensed that she was hiding something from me, as if she also knew some of my family's secrets.
The more I felt that I was being pushed into a bottomless abyss, and my heart was even more difficult to calm down.
The arrival of this call made me feel like my life was a mess and I didn't have anything I could do to untangle it.
Everything seemed to prove to me that my life was full of contradictions and mysteries, and that I couldn't escape them all.
I thought the conflict with Li Mei was over, but an unexpected incident strained our relationship again.
That night, I was studying Xi in my room when I suddenly heard a rush of shouting from outside. I walked out of the room and saw Li Mei calling loudly.
I hurriedly ran out and asked nervously, "What's wrong, is the old man okay?" Li Mei turned her head to look at me and said in an anxious tone: "Quick, help me call the 120 emergency number!" I immediately dialed the emergency number according to her request.
It all happened so fast that I didn't have time to react.
While waiting in the hospital, Li Mei has been struggling with things at home, and her eyes reveal strong anxiety and helplessness.
But she didn't answer my question, just sobbed silently.
As the old man's condition stabilized, the atmosphere in the home gradually eased. I began to rethink my relationship with Li Mei, and there seemed to be more tacit understanding and understanding between us.
One sunny morning, I received a call from a friend from the countryside who told me that there were rumors in the countryside that Li Mei and my father had an unusual relationship.
However, I decided to talk to my father anyway. I asked bluntly, "Dad, what's the matter with your relationship with Li Mei?" My father was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "She's mine...... Girlfriend.
When I heard the news, I had mixed feelings, and I couldn't accept this reality. I asked my father indignantly, "Why do you want to associate with her when you know that she is not a worry-free person?" Don't you care how I feel?"
This news made me feel unsettled for a long time. Li Mei's appearance made me no longer trust her, but at the same time, I couldn't ignore it.
This seemingly calm family entanglement has become particularly confusing.
