Chen Junliang couldn't understand this. What was it about that home that he missed so much?

Didn't he notice how badly his father and grandmother treated his mother? Didn't he see the bitter smile on his mother's face when his grandmother bullied her, or the way his father wronged her and even beat her?

He's not stupid, how could he not see these things? So why did he want to push his mother back after she took him away alone?

If he had wanted to stay in that house and didn't want to leave with his mother, he could have just said so, thus saving his mother from the trouble of having to take him and his brother with her.

Chen Junliang could understand that his younger brother lied to him because he was afraid of being kept by their mother, but he couldn't understand what his brother was doing now.

"……say!"

Chen Junliang was tall. He stood behind the door, half of his body hidden in the darkness, his face serious. Chen Junsheng didn't dare to look at him at all.

"Where's Dad? Did he go back?"

Chen Junliang looked at him, not understanding when his younger brother had become like this, or whether he had never understood him at all. He gritted his teeth to keep from slapping him.

Chen Junsheng finally raised his head and looked directly into his brother's eyes, "I don't like it here."

He doesn't know anyone here. Most of his classmates are from the family compound, and they have their own small groups. He transferred here halfway through his studies and hasn't integrated into any of them yet.

He has good friends at home, but after school he can only stay at home.

"Why did Mom get a divorce? Dad did nothing wrong. None of my classmates have divorced parents. I don't like it here."

"Then why did you go with Mom in the first place? Why didn't you just stay there?"

"I……"

"Because you know it's not good to stay there. Grandma rarely takes care of us, and Dad's salary goes to her. If we stay there, we might not even have enough to eat."

Only Mom takes care of us. She has to earn money to feed us and send us to school. You understand everything, that's why you don't want to stay there!

He twisted his fingers, "Then Mom can just live with Dad like before, our family used to be so good."

Chen Junliang was so angry that his hands were trembling. "Can't you see what kind of life Mom was living in that house?"

“Mom is doing well. She does our laundry and cooks for us, and Dad doesn’t hit her.”

They later argued because Dad suspected Mom was having an affair at the factory, but it was just a misunderstanding. Once it was explained, Dad wouldn't hit her anymore.

Because his mother said she didn't want him and his brother, he was in a panic, afraid that his mother would really leave. As a result, his father said that each of them should go with one of them, so he chose to go with his mother.

But that doesn't mean he thinks their divorce is the right thing to do. Why get a divorce? Why can't they stay together for the sake of both of them?

People will laugh at them.

"I just want my dad to explain to my mom that I want a complete family."

"Smack!"

Chen Junliang could no longer bear it and slapped him hard across the face. Chen Junsheng covered his face and cried.

"You keep saying you miss me, but have you ever thought about what your mother wants? Can't you think about your mother?"

Chen Junsheng covered his face, not understanding why his brother was so angry. He was doing this for the good of the family. Did he not want his parents to be together?

He pushed Chen Junliang away and ran out crying.

Chen Wei felt as if he was being monitored by the educated youth. Early in the morning, the male educated youth from yesterday was already dressed and standing by his bed watching him.

"What's wrong, comrade?"

"Brother Lu said he'd take you to the train station, let's go."

Chen Wei dawdled and didn't want to leave. The educated youth had finally managed to get up to fulfill Brother Lu's request, but he was still dawdling like this, and his tone became unpleasant.

Aunt Tian arrived early in the morning. "You must be Chen Wei, right?"

The two men stared intently at him, as if they would have him dragged away if he didn't want to leave. Chen Wei walked into the yard and suddenly clutched his stomach.

"Ouch, I think there was something wrong with what I ate last night. My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."

Before the two men could speak, they shoved the bag into the male educated youth's hands. The male educated youth picked up the bag, thinking that since his things were with him, he probably wouldn't run away.

It was too cold. The other educated youth were still on the kang (a heated brick bed). Aunt Tian breathed on her hands and asked, "Why did you take so long?"

The male educated youth suddenly walked towards the outhouse, but there was no one inside. He looked out into the yard and saw footprints in the snow.

"Oh no, Aunt Tian, ​​he's climbed over the wall!"

"What!"

Aunt Tian rushed over and saw two footprints in the snow, leading all the way out.

Song Qing was absent-minded today. Many people originally wanted to ask her about the winter hunting in Yanghe Village, but seeing her like this, they simply went to the villagers instead.

"What's wrong?"

Guan Lian handed her a handful of hazelnuts. Song Qing took them and glanced at her face. Everything seemed normal, so she breathed a sigh of relief and hoped to get Chen Wei away as soon as possible.

"fine"

Everyone gradually arrived at their workstations, and just as the production line was about to start, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, and the security personnel came in.

"Guan Lian, where is Comrade Guan Lian? Someone outside is looking for you."

A bad feeling suddenly welled up in Song Qing's heart, and she put the hazelnuts in her pocket.

Guan Lian frowned. Who would come looking for her?

"I'm going out to take a look."

"Sister Guan, I'll go with you."

Guan Lian originally wanted Song Qing to stay in the workshop, since it was cold outside and warm inside, but Song Qing insisted, so she let her go.

Who's looking for me?

Chen Wei ran through the snow for a long time, and was chased by the educated youth and Aunt Tian and her men. He stumbled and staggered all the way to the textile factory.

The security guards stopped him, and Chen Wei quickly said he was looking for Guan Lian, saying that she was his wife.

The security guard from yesterday was off duty today and wasn't there. The person on duty overheard this and told him to wait while someone went in to call Guan Lian out.

Aunt Tian and the male educated youth ran for a long time before finally catching up with him. They grabbed Chen Wei and tried to drag him away. Chen Wei felt that the two of them were like bandits. He had already said that he came to find someone, so why did they want to send him away?

"I'm not leaving, I'm her man!"

"Pah! You divorced bastard, get out of here! Or I'll make you regret it!"

Aunt Tian was furious after running around for so long, and her expression was fierce. What kind of person is this?

They've already gotten divorced and are finally living a normal life, and then he comes back here. It's just annoying!

When Guan Lian arrived, she saw Aunt Tian and the educated youth trying to drag Chen Wei away, but he was clinging tightly to the door.

"Ah Lian, you're finally here! Quickly tell them I'm your man!"

Chen Wei looked at Guan Lian as if she were his savior. He was now afraid that these two were not going to take him to the train station, but to some corner of the world to rape him.

"Alian!"

Guan Lian took a deep breath and finally realized that she was not mistaken; the man in front of her was indeed Chen Wei.

What are you doing here?
