“But…” Although Xi Yue heard Ye Qing’s explanation, she still found it a little hard to understand and looked at Xi Quan again.
Although Xi Yue didn't say what she was going to say, Xi Quan could roughly guess what she wanted to say.
It's simply because they felt it was a bit unfair to Aunt Zhang, making her take the blame.
But seeing that Ye Qing didn't want to talk about it, Xi Quan didn't insist on asking. He glanced at Xi Yue and signaled her not to ask anymore either.
Although she was still very confused, Xi Yue followed Xi Quan's instructions and did not ask any further questions.
Ye Qing noticed Xi Yue and Xi Quan's confusion, but didn't explain, pretending not to see it: "Let's go, there's no one here, and it's so empty, it'll be a bit cold if we stand here for a while."
Because Ye Qing was pregnant, Xi Quan and Xi Yue quickly said they were leaving when they heard her say that.
However, after taking a couple of steps, Ye Qing suddenly remembered something. "Xi Yue, when you go back, be careful of Grandpa. Don't tell him the specific reason, and don't let anyone else tell him either."
Xi Yue roughly understood what Ye Qing meant: since they were determined not to let their grandfather know, then they should just keep quiet.
Although Xi Yue felt that this was a bit unfair to Ye Qing, seeing Ye Qing's insistence and her concern for her grandfather's health, Xi Yue still agreed to Ye Qing's suggestion.
Since they had talked things out, the three of them left. Xi Yue had come with Ye Qing by car.
Xi Yue has always lived a very unrestrained life. Although she has become more restrained after being hospitalized and discharged a couple of years ago, she is still not much different from before.
Because of this incident, coupled with Ye Qing and Xi Quan's attitudes, Xi Yue felt that she could no longer live such a muddled or carefree life.
Seeing that Ye Qing and Xi Quan were about to leave, Xi Yue quickly got out of her car, ran to the front of Xi Quan's car, and knocked on the window.
Looking out, Xi Quan rolled down the window and looked at Xi Yue.
Xi Yue clenched her fists with her hands hanging down, cheering herself up, and then looked at Xi Quan with a firm gaze: "Brother, you just need to take care of your own little family from now on. I'll take care of Grandpa. If I really can't take care of him anymore, or if I encounter any problems that I can't solve, I'll come to you, and you can help me then."
These words did surprise Xi Quan a bit. Although Xi Quan knew that, in general, Xi Yue's change was good and should be encouraged, he still felt a little uneasy because of what had happened before, and wanted to tell Xi Yue not to force herself.
But before he could speak, Ye Qing seemed to notice Xi Quan's clothes and quietly tugged at the corner of Xi Quan's garment.
Xi Quan paused for a moment and then said, "Okay."
Seeing that Xi Quan agreed, Xi Yue smiled, waved to Xi Quan, and then let them go first, because if Xi Quan's car didn't move, Xi Yue's car behind him couldn't move either.
Slowly rolling up the car window, Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing as he drove and said, "Xi Yue isn't the kind of person who knows how to take care of others, she..."
"No one is born knowing how to take care of others. If I remember correctly, Xi Yue is older than me. I'm almost thirty, and Xi Yue is about thirty too. She needs to learn how to take care of others, at least herself..."
Ye Qing meant what she said, but when she thought about how she had just told Xi Quan that she didn't mind him taking care of Xi Yue, it sounded like she was contradicting herself.
So Ye Qing quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying you shouldn't take care of Xi Yue. What I'm trying to say is that even if you take care of her, there are many things you can't do for her. Xi Yue needs to learn to grow on her own! Now that she has made this decision, we should definitely encourage her instead of discouraging her. If she makes any mistakes along the way, we can talk to her and point them out to her."
Although Xi Quan didn't quite understand why Ye Qing said that at first, he understood now after hearing Ye Qing's explanation.
Because he understood, Xi Quan was very grateful to Ye Qing for not holding a grudge and still treating Xi Yue sincerely.
In fact, even if Ye Qing was hostile towards Xi Yue, Xi Quan could understand it.
Because of this, Xi Quan thought of what Ye Qing had said earlier, and he couldn't help but ask Ye Qing, "Are you sure you don't want to say anything about Grandma's matter? Even before, when we didn't know the truth, it wasn't appropriate to simply say that Grandma's death was Zhang Sao's responsibility. Now that we know the truth, I think we should make things clear..."
Autumn in the southern city is getting colder and colder. Ye Qing watched as the pedestrians outside hurried along, even unconsciously wrapping their coats tighter. If this were in the north, one would see large swaths of fallen leaves at this time of year.
Although fallen leaves wither and die, new ones will grow next year.
Because of changes in the weather, plants choose their own growth patterns to adapt to the environment, which is somewhat like the saying "to be reborn from the ashes".
Because of Xi Quan's words, Ye Qing withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at Xi Quan, and said, "Have you ever heard a saying?"
"What? Which sentence?" Xi Quan asked.
"Put yourself in a desperate situation and you will survive." Ye Qing said calmly.
However, Xi Quan sensed a certain firmness in Ye Qing's calm tone, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was: "What do you mean?"
Ye Qing looked out the window again, her tone still indifferent: "She seems to never feel that she has done anything wrong, except this time, when she feels that she has caused a huge disaster. I have always said that I don't mind, I really don't mind."
But she is different from Xu Daye and Zhu Daniu. After all, she once gave me warmth, and I can't completely ignore her.
But I also hate her in my heart. I really hate her. This emotion is very complicated. Every time I want to forgive her, understand why she didn't want us back then, I try to understand her difficulties back then.
But every time this happens, she always manages to cause some small trouble. Although it might not seem like a big deal, it always reignites the hatred I feel for her.
Xi Quan remained silent. Although Ye Qing did not specify who "she" was, Xi Quan could tell that Ye Qing was referring to Aunt Zhang.
Such complex emotions tormented Ye Qing. Ye Qing did not want to hate, so she came up with a way to fight fire with fire. She said, "Grandma's death seems to have made her realize her mistake. Since that's the case, let's just go with the flow. She always talks about her difficulties. I hope that she can take this opportunity to think about me and Huang Fei, who were abandoned by her."
Xi Quan completely understood Ye Qing's feelings. From Ye Qing's perspective, there was nothing wrong with what she did, but Xi Quan felt that he couldn't just remain silent.
Because Zhang Sao wronged Ye Qing back then, not Xi Quan. Xi Quan stood up for Ye Qing, but he couldn't use the same method as Ye Qing to "punish" Zhang Sao. So after thinking it over, Xi Quan came up with a compromise.
