Chapter 316 I Can't Hold On Anymore
All I could see on the phone screen was the caller ID name displayed in the contact list.
"Ma Dazhu".
Staring at these three words, Ma Junjie fell into deep thought.
Since Tang Feng's incident, Ma Junjie has not seen Ma Dazhu or Liu Dongmei again.
Especially Liu Dongmei,
Ma Junjie never wants to see her again in his life.
After that, Ma Dazhu also sent Ma Junjie a few text messages.
I also made a few phone calls.
Ma Junjie knew that Ma Dazhu lacked his own opinions.
Many of the text messages were simply orchestrated and directed by Liu Dongmei behind the scenes.
Ma Junjie ignored them, didn't pay any attention, and didn't reply.
Until one day, Ma Junjie felt bad that his brother hadn't answered his calls.
He answered the phone.
To his surprise, the moment the call connected, he was met with Liu Dongmei's filthy and abusive language.
After that, Ma Junjie never answered Ma Dazhu's calls again.
It can be said that he and Ma Dazhu have severed all contact.
Now, almost half a month has passed.
Ma Dazhu called again today. What could it be about?
or,
Behind this phone call, Liu Dongmei's ugly and filthy face is still there.
"Ring ring ring"
The ringing telephone was so loud it was irritating.
In a few more seconds, the call will probably end.
Ma Junjie stared intently.
Suddenly, as if by some strange twist of fate, he answered the phone.
It's likely that Ma Junjie still finds it hard to let go of his only older brother.
When the call connected, there was no sound on the other end; there was silence for several seconds.
"Hey, bro, is that you?" Ma Junjie asked tentatively.
There was still no response from the other end.
Ma Junjie picked up his phone and looked at it.
The phone is working fine; it's dialing.
He put the phone to his ear again and said,
"Hey, if anyone's here, speak up."
"If no one answers, I'm hanging up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy and anxious shout came from the other end.
"Ah Jie, don't hang up, it's me, it's me!"
Ma Junjie recognized the voice; it was the familiar voice of Ma Dazhu.
It wasn't Liu Dongmei's voice, which surprised and relieved Ma Junjie.
He quickly asked,
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Where are you now? Have you gone back to your hometown?"
Ma Dazhu paused, his words hesitant and unsure of what to say.
"Ah Jie, I...I..."
Ma Junjie could tell that Ma Dazhu had something to say.
He urged,
"Brother, tell me what's wrong while Liu Dongmei is away."
"If you have nothing to say, I'm hanging up!"
These words seemed to have awakened Ma Dazhu.
Ma Dazhu quickly spoke up.
"Ah Jie, your sister-in-law and I are getting ready...we're getting ready to go back to our hometown tomorrow."
"You haven't left yet?" Ma Junjie was greatly surprised; this was something he never expected.
It's been more than 20 days.
Ma Junjie thought they had already gone back to their hometown.
To my surprise, they were still there.
"Brother, what have you been doing here all these days?" Ma Junjie really couldn't understand.
Upon hearing this question, Ma Dazhu stammered even more.
He stammered as he spoke.
"Ah... Ah-Jie... Actually... it's like this..."
"I...we..."
"Sigh!" Ma Junjie sighed, somewhat annoyed.
"Brother, if you don't talk to me properly, I'm really going to hang up!"
Ma Dazhu was startled.
He immediately said,
"Ah Jie, it's...it's your sister-in-law..."
"She said... she couldn't swallow this, and she's been waiting near your house these past few days, trying to... trying to find you."
"The result... I've been waiting for the result until now, but I couldn't bear it any longer, so..."
As Ma Junjie listened, the expression on his face was indescribably complex.
After a long while, he gave a cold laugh.
"hehe…"
"Liu Dongmei... I knew it..."
"This woman is a shrew, she won't give up until she gets what she wants, she's utterly disgusting."
After saying that, she realized that the person opposite her was her older brother.
He stopped and asked Ma Dazhu,
"Brother, are you sure you're going back tomorrow?"
Ma Dazhu replied weakly.
"Yes, that's right."
"To be honest, I've wanted to go home for a long time."
"Huahua is here, she's lost so much weight... it's heartbreaking to see!"
Upon hearing the news about Hua Hua, Ma Junjie's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a pang of pain.
He suddenly spoke.
"Brother, if you really can't stand it anymore, divorce Liu Dongmei."
"You stay here and work with me."
Ma Dazhu was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, his voice came through.
hoarse and heavy,
"Ah Jie... I'm not as capable as you... so I won't hold you back."
"Keep it up, do your best."
"I'm destined to be a farmer, I accept it, I accept it."
"Also, I definitely can't get a divorce. I'm nothing special, I'm already incredibly lucky to have a wife."
"Besides, there's Huahua... I don't want her, I don't want a mother."
As Ma Junjie listened, he felt a mix of emotions.
There was a lump in my throat, as if a huge stone was pressing down on it.
"Ugh!"
"A person, one wrong step leads to another."
"Brother, I won't try to persuade you anymore."
"Speak, what's the matter that you called?"
Ma Dazhu was stunned for a moment, still feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
"Ah Jie...it's...it's like this..."
"We're leaving tomorrow... but... nothing... nothing..."
"No fare?" Ma Junjie asked when he saw that Ma Dazhu hadn't spoken.
"Yes...yes," Ma Dazhu said weakly.
Ma Junjie shook his head slightly, looking helpless.
to be frank,
The moment Ma Dazhu called, he guessed the outcome.
This phone call is definitely related to money.
Ma Junjie tried his best to appear nonchalant and said,
"Brother, no problem. I may not have extra money, but I can still afford the train ticket."
"I'll go to the bank and transfer the money to you first thing tomorrow morning."
"Ah Jie, thank you, thank you!" Ma Dazhu thanked him repeatedly, his voice hoarse with tears in his eyes.
"Ah Jie, as your brother, I'm truly sorry..."
"I cheated you out of so much money last time, and now you're doing this again..."
"Brother, let's not talk about the past," Ma Junjie interrupted Ma Dazhu.
He deliberately laughed, speaking in a relaxed manner.
"Brother, then I won't see you off tomorrow."
"Take some money, buy some snacks on the way, and buy more for Huahua."
"Yes, I know," Ma Dazhu replied heavily.
Ma Junjie felt he had said enough.
Looking up again, I saw that the car was almost at Liu Bingbing's house.
He was ready to end the conversation.
He said to Ma Dazhu,
"Brother, I wish you a safe journey."
"Nothing else, I'm hanging up now."
"Mmm," Ma Dazhu responded softly from the other side.
Ma Junjie smiled and was about to hang up the phone.
Suddenly, Ma Dazhu's urgent voice came from the other side again.
"Ah Jie, wait a minute, there's something important I forgot to say."
"Oh?" Ma Junjie asked, puzzled.
"Brother, is there anything else? Just tell me."
Ma Dazhu paused, as if organizing his thoughts, or perhaps gathering his emotions.
For a long while, it seemed as if he didn't know where to begin.
Ma Junjie was getting impatient.
Only then did Ma Dazhu speak.
"Ah Jie, I'll tell you a secret..."
