Chapter 10 Chapter Ten Parting

Having not seen each other for many years, Xiang Yuan could hardly recognize the slightly fat middle-aged man in front of her as the thin and tall Uncle Ye in her memory. Are you Xiao Xiangyuan?" She really hesitated to say "Uncle Ye". "Oh, Xiao Xiangyuan has grown up so much." Ye Binglin smiled and turned to Ye Qianze beside him and said, "You've all grown up, so it's no wonder I'm getting old. My memory is still a little bit of Xiao Xiangyuan's. Er Gao, I came to our house to ask you to go fishing. But these smiling eyes have not changed, they are cute, and I recognized them at a glance."

Xiang Yuan has been acquainted with Ye Qianze's family since she was a child. When she was a child, she often met Uncle Ye who was sitting on a stone reading a book by the wild duck pond. For the sake of her good friend Ye Qianze, she is also willing to get close to this Uncle Ye who always holds a book in his hand.At that time, she liked to listen to the stories in Uncle Ye's books. She was impatient and felt fake, but only the Three Kingdoms listened with gusto.Ye Binglin also liked her for being quick-witted and open-minded, and often boasted to her father, Xiang Yunsheng, that the girl would be promising in the future, but Xiang Yunsheng always laughed it off.

Xiang Yuan looked seriously at Ye Binglin who hadn't returned to his hometown for a long time, "Uncle Ye, you are still more handsome than Ye Qianze." After she finished speaking, she laughed along with the Ye family father and son, and then looked at Ye Qianze, who did not know that many years later, his Will he look like his father? "It's good if you come." Ye Qianze pointed to Zou Yun's closed door. From afternoon to night, no matter how they tried to persuade or knock on the door outside, there was still no sound from inside.Ye Qianze had no choice but to go to Xiang's house several times, but unfortunately he didn't see Xiang Yuan himself, so he had to tell Xiang Yao to come to Zou Yun's house as soon as her sister came back.

"Xiang Yuan, they all say that Ah Yun listens to you the most. You persuade that child. He has suffered a lot in these years. I... I don't know what he thinks in his heart, whether he blames me. Just treat it as Do Uncle Ye a favor." Ye Binglin's face was filled with a father's plea. Xiang Yuan glanced at Ye Qianze, who had the same look on his face, so she whispered, "You're welcome, Uncle Ye, I don't know if I can help you, just try." She gently buckled the thin door panel, "Zou Yun, open the door, I have something to tell you." There was no movement at the other side of the door, Xiang Yuan repeated the words again, but there was still no response, so she raised her voice slightly and said to Ye Qianze: "It's useless if I say I'm coming, then I'll go back, the house is still there Something is wrong."

Ye Qianze understood, "That's nothing to do, the road is dark at night, I will accompany you back." Ye Binglin was anxious for a while, and just about to speak, Zou Yun's door creaked open. Xiang Yuan walked in lightly, and closed the door behind him.There was no light in the room, she frowned and fumbled for the rope to pull the lamp, and the orange light turned on immediately, and she saw Zou Yun lying on the bed covering his eyes with his hands. "You're not very young, but you have a big temper." Xiang Yuan sat on the chair opposite the bed and said. Hearing the sound, Zou Yun sat up suddenly, "You come to lie to me with them!" His childish face was full of dissatisfaction, and Xiang Yuan was laughed at, "What did I lie to you, didn't you Your mother gave birth to Cripple Zou, and the one outside is your real father. This is a fact. Besides, what is "they"? Together we should."

"Should? It's because of what a little bit of blood can prove. When he took his eldest brother away four years ago, he didn't even look at me. I have lived here for so many years. My mother died. Didn't come back, and now I think I have an extra son?" Xiang Yuan moved the chair closer to Zou Yun, "You are unhappy because of this? How can I say it? Don't demand too much from others. Any relationship is selfish. Uncle Ye didn't know that you were Her son, your mother never told him that he has no reason to be nice to an ex-wife's child. Now it's different, you have confirmed that his surname should be Ye, just like Ye Qianze, far closer to him than Ye Ling, You'll be fine with them."

"I don't want to leave, why do you all expect me to leave, even my father doesn't want to keep me?" Zou Yun bowed his head in pain, he is a good boy, even if his heart is ups and downs, he will not vent in extreme ways to hurt others.Xiang Yuan stared at his docile hair, and suddenly remembered Xiang Yi, every time Xiang Yao robbed his favorite gadgets, he just bowed his head in front of the eldest sister in such an aggrieved way, but he refused to say what Ren Xiangyuan asked. It was because Xiang Yao bullied him. Xiang Yuan wanted to reach out and touch the back of Zou Yun's head, just like she did to Xiang Yi before, but in the end he hardened his heart and said with a sneer, "Your father? You mean Cripple Zou, why did he keep you? It's not that you don't know, he is a fool, he has kept you in the dark for so many years, that's all, but your widow stepmother is not stupid, after hearing that you were not born by him, the two of them asked Do you know how much child support the Ye family asked for? Usually, even if you sell three children like you to traffickers, you can’t get that money back. Can they send you away happily? Even if you don’t want to leave, you must You can’t do it here, and don’t even think about it. Cripple Zou and his family are having a hard time. He works alone, and the four of them eat. You and the younger brother brought by your stepmother have to go to school. You are not his son. Take your burden?"

Before Xiang Yuan finished speaking, tears were already rolling in Zou Yun's eyes. He pursed his lips, trying not to let it fall, but he couldn't say a word, and his whole body was trembling slightly.Xiang Yuan pushed the chair away and stood up, "Is this what you are good for? Then I won't waste time with you. If you want to go, let you figure it out for yourself. It's better to follow your crippled father and be as useless as him for the rest of your life." Before she had time to leave, Zou Yun grabbed her sleeves. He was anxious and panicked, and he didn't care about "men don't cry when they cry", so he hugged Xiang Yuan's hand tightly and cried loudly with a "wow" stand up.

The door was pushed open, Ye Qianze was obviously worried when he heard the crying, and when he saw this scene, he backed out again. Zou Yun's tears wet Xiang Yuan's sleeves, she sat on the edge of the bed angrily and amusedly, and did not persuade him, letting him cry thoroughly.He sobbed and said incoherently, "Sister Xiang Yuan...don't you keep me?" "Why do I keep you? You cry every now and then, so useless, and I can't sell you." Seeing that Zou Yun was crying more fiercely, she sighed and said, "Why are you so stupid, even if you don't leave Now, am I going to stay here forever?"

"where are you going?" Xiang Yuan avoided Zou Yun's weeping, slightly delicate eyes, and half-jokingly said: "Where will I go in the future, who knows—maybe, I will meet you in the city in a short time, when you He is a child of a rich family, if you still remember me, there is still time for you to help." "Really, sister Xiang Yuan, are you serious?" really? Really... Xiang Yuan seemed unable to hear the boy's voice and asked.What will happen in the future is beyond her control, something she doesn't even know, how can she promise? On the day Zou Yun left, the car drove out of the village, and it was not yet bright. Xiang Yuan saw the dust raised by the wheels far away at the door of his house.The night before, she had already told Ye Qianze that she didn't like that kind of scene, so she wouldn't go there when she saw her off.Ye Qianze said at the time: "Xiang Yuan, I won't write any more letters, we will see you again soon." She just smiled, watching the dust fade away at this moment, she still unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.

There was movement in the kitchen, and Xiang Yao got up early that day.While having breakfast as usual, Xiang Yuan asked in surprise, "Well, why are your eyes so red?" Xiang Yao bowed his head to drink the porridge, and after a long time said: "I have been wondering, what is your heart made of?"
