1970s: The Orphaned Farm Girl Recruited a Husband and Won Without Trying

Her newly purchased phone seemed strange—she suspected it had somehow connected to the underworld, because everything she ordered was instantly delivered.

A month later, she sold off her as...

Chapter 58 Dad had no choice but to leave you behind (2/2)

The two were sitting in the main room eating fish when an uninvited guest arrived.

Feng Mian's face suddenly darkened.

"What are you doing here?"

Yu Zhou was startled, and said in a gentle tone: "You were not here when I came here yesterday morning. I came here this morning and didn't see you either."

Feng Mian didn't want to pay any attention to him and just ate the fish.

Yu Zhou was standing at the door feeling very awkward. He didn't feel comfortable enough since no one invited him in.

He knew his daughter still resented him and didn't want to make the relationship worse.

He had to be patient and wait until he could coax her home.

He stood at the door for a long time. Feng Mian couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Gu Yuelin under the table.

Gu Yuelin then asked Yu Zhou: "What do you want?"

Yu Zhou hurriedly took out a test paper from his briefcase and said, "I heard that you signed up for the exam. I found a set of this year's college entrance examination papers for you. Take a look at it, it may help."

Did he also prepare a set of test papers?

“No more.” Feng Mian refused directly.

Yu Zhou was anxious and asked, "Why isn't it available? Dad went to the city yesterday afternoon to find some connections to get it."

Feng Mian said calmly: "We have it."

"Yes?"

Gu Yuelin said, "I queued up to buy one in the market today, Mr. Yu. This kind of test paper is in limited supply every day and is hard to buy. You should give this set of test papers to someone who needs it."

“This…” Yu Zhou hesitated to speak, and finally said helplessly: “What a coincidence, you guys are really quick.”

Feng Mian ate several pieces of pickled radish in a row. They were crispy and sour, and really delicious.

I turned my head to look at Yu Zhou. He was still standing at the door, which was really annoying.

She put down her chopsticks and looked at Yu Zhou and said, "I think I have said everything I should have said that day. I remember what you said that day very clearly, and it's as if it happened yesterday. So, I hate you very much. It's impossible for me to say goodbye to you. Do you understand?"

Yu Zhou’s face turned pale and his body swayed.

"Mianmian, Dad had no choice but to leave you. I was sick, and your grandparents applied for a long time before they gave me the opportunity to go to the city for treatment. But the policy was like that. After getting married, I didn't meet the requirements for going to the city, and I could only get treatment in a small county town. There were only two choices before me. Either I stayed in the countryside with you forever and was tortured to death by the disease, or I had to divorce your mother. I had no choice but to survive. I thought, if I died, what would you do?"

Feng Mian was almost amused by his words. He rolled up his sleeves and turned sideways to face him.

"May I ask what disease you have?"

Yu Zhou was stunned and stammered, "I had a headache. I had a severe headache at the time and couldn't sleep all night. Mianmian, do you remember?"

It's very easy to fake a headache or a stomachache. As long as you have the connections, it's easy to fool people.

Feng Mian said with a smile, "In those years, there were indeed many people who pretended to be sick and went around the city. One after another, some even pretended to be crazy and stupid, and some even self-harmed. The one who let his friend break his spine, oh, it was spread everywhere. You should have heard of it, right?"

Yu Zhou's face froze, "Mianmian, how can you say that about Dad? Dad is not pretending to be sick, he is really sick. You don't think I have a headache and deliberately say I have a headache, do you?"

"No." Feng Mian still looked at him with a smile, "I know you have a headache. Ever since you came back from visiting relatives in the city during the New Year, you have been tossing and turning and can't sleep. You have a headache all the time, right?"

Yu Zhou nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I have a headache and can't sleep."

Feng Mian was actually just guessing, as she didn't have as early memories as the original owner.

This is an easy guess. He must have encountered something after visiting his relatives in Xicheng.

It made him determined to succeed, and thinking about those things kept him awake all night long.

He doesn't sleep well and has to work all day, then he gets a headache, so this may be true, but it is definitely not to the extent of a serious illness.

"Okay, there's no point in you saying this, please don't bother us."
