Chapter 38



He was trying to hold back. It was early in the morning, in broad daylight. It was clearly an opportunity.

I don’t know what those two have been discussing. They might come back to cause trouble soon. What should I do?

He pushed Ye Xiaozhen away.

Ye Xiaozhen hooked her arms around his neck and then let go.

Xie Linan said helplessly: "Xiaozhen, stop making trouble, it's not appropriate in broad daylight."

Seeing how he was enduring pain, Ye Xiaozhen found it funny and kept hooking him until he let go, and even jumped on him.

Worried that she might fall, Xie Linan subconsciously reached out to support her.

His passion was over, and now he was in this position, which was almost killing him.

"You are not only stupid, but also bad. Bad guy, wait and see how I deal with you tonight."

ah?

Let’s talk about tonight’s matter tonight.

Well, let's chat and help him calm down.

Ye Xiaozhen hugged his neck and said crisply, "Brother, why did you go to school? Talk to Xiaozhen."

Xie Linan met her eyes. If the tone of her voice was still like that of a normal person, he would have almost thought that she was cured.

"Does 께zhen want to hear it?"

Yeh Coco nodded.

Xie Linan held her in his arms and sat on the edge of the bed, recalling the past and telling her the story slowly.

"In fact, I went to school because of my uncle's cruelty and my sister's fault."

"I have a sister who is two years older than me. Do you know if 께珍 still remembers her?"

Yeh Coco nodded.

"I started school early. When I was five, I went to the first grade with her. At that time, the first grade was five years. I went to junior high school when I was ten. When we were in the third grade, my father had an accident. That year, my mother ran away, leaving behind my two younger brothers..."

At that time, both of them were facing the risk of dropping out of school. His sister's academic performance was not as good as his, so she gave him the opportunity to go to school and went to work in a garment factory.

At that time he was very grateful to his sister, because he was going to drop out of school, but his sister insisted on letting him continue, saying that she would find a way to pay for the tuition.

So Xie Linan went to high school smoothly.

At that time, his sister Xie Li would come to see him whenever she had a holiday, bringing him food, drinks and pocket money.

"Until later..." Xie Linan sighed and said, "When I was in the second year of high school, I found that she often came to school to see me. Later I found out that she came not only to see me, but also to see Zhang Jianhua."

Ye Xiaozhen was startled, "Who is Zhang Jianhua?"

"Zhang Jianhua was in the same class with me in junior high school, but his family was even poorer than mine. His father was a mute, and his mother was a fool..."

Suddenly thinking of Ye Xiaozhen, he quickly explained, "It's the same as Xiaozhen. His mother can speak clearly and can take care of herself."

As he spoke, he stared at Ye Xiaozhen closely.

Ye Xiaozhen also did not speak, and just kept looking at him.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Xie Linan was defeated first.

Xie Linan smiled and said, "Xiaozhen, you have made progress."

Ye Xiaozhen knew what he was talking about, but she just had a confused expression on her face.

Seeing that he had said it, Ye Xiaozhen shook his arm again, "Brother, tell me quickly, why did your sister go to see Zhang Jianhua?"

Xie Linan was in tears and laughter. He pinched her face and said, "You silly girl, why are you still gossiping like that old lady at the entrance of the village?"

After complaining too much, he continued with the story just now.

"My sister was pregnant with Zhang Jianhua's child when she was in her second year of high school. At that time, the marriage age was 10 for girls and 20 for boys. My sister was only 17 and Zhang Jianhua was only 19. There was no way they could get married, and the garment factory fired her.

After my grandfather found out, he asked her to give up the child. She had agreed to it, but when Zhang Jianhua found out what he had said to her, she changed her mind. But she was willing to give up the child and even went to Zhang Jianhua's hometown.

I went to Zhang Jianhua's hometown once. It was in the mountains and it took several hours to climb the mountain to go home. Even if she didn't want to, no one could take her out of the mountains. Later..."

Xie Linan smiled bitterly and said, "She gave her only money to Zhang Jianhua, and supported him to finish high school and go to college, so I dropped out. I only knew then that my sister supported Zhang Jianhua's three years of high school."

After hearing this, Ye Xiaozhen didn't know what to say.

This is difficult to judge.

His sister Xie Li helped her brother, so is she wrong?

놊땣.

Look at Xie Linan's father. He helped his brother. Did he thank him? He thanked nothing.

With such a living example in front of them, there is nothing wrong with people choosing to avoid the risk of supporting their younger brother.

But what about Fu Xingxing?

It’s hard to say.

Ye Xiaozhen vaguely remembered that Ye Zhengguo and Sun Qing had talked about this matter. They heard that Xie Li's children had grown up and her husband had graduated from college, but they had never married.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaozhen asked Xie Linan, "Brother, are you and your sister coming to our wedding?"

Xie Linan was in a trance for a moment.

Actually...he hasn't seen his sister for many years.

"I'll ask someone to send her a message and see if she comes."

As they were talking, they heard the voices of Xie Zhili and his wife talking to their grandfather outside.

Xie Linan walked to the window and saw them at the gate of the courtyard.

Their voices were very soft, and I could hear clearly what they were saying.

Grandpa kept shaking his head, and after a while they left angrily.

Xie Linan came back from the window and continued, "After my sister stopped paying for my schooling, I went to my third uncle to borrow money. I only had one year left, I only had one year left of high school. He only needed to give me one year's money, and I would be fine once I passed the college entrance exam. College is free, and they also give me living expenses, but he just didn't want to."

When he said these words, there was not much hatred on Xie Linan's face, but more helplessness.

"My family was in a very bad situation at that time. My grandfather was so old, but he still had to take care of my two younger brothers. My two younger brothers grew up drinking the rice soup he fed them."

He smiled bitterly and said, "Borrowing money is something that should be done willingly. My family had already borrowed a lot of foreign debts at that time. In order to support our two children, we borrowed food and money. This was for survival. People saw that we were pitiful and would lend us some money."

"But studying is a must. Many people drop out of school because they have no money. Even my uncle was willing to lend me money, and outsiders were even more helpful. They all advised me to go out and work early to earn money and reduce the burden on my grandfather."

"At that time, I had no way to pay the tuition fees and people let me go to school. My family was poor, so I had to go out to work. If my teacher had felt sorry for me and kept my student status and allowed me to take the graduation exam when I graduated, I would have even received a high school diploma..."

Even though Ye Xiaozhen didn't understand, Xie Linan kept talking and didn't stop until after a long time.

After he finished speaking, he sat at the head of the bed in silence, and sat there stupidly for a long time before getting up and leaving.

He had never spoken these heartfelt words to anyone else.

Those were the most difficult years of his previous twenty years.

He got through every tough time and never told anyone.

Now that he had said it in front of Ye Xiaozhen, he knew that she understood.
