Chapter 64: In her previous life, her fifteenth birthday was filled with anxiety and scolding...
Dong Fuyun ran away from Old Dong's house carrying his things. He was originally planning to go directly to his good brother Lu Jun, but he remembered that before leaving the rental house, he had told his niece that he would come over to have dinner with her later.
So I made a temporary change of route and came to Zhangshu Lane carrying my things. As soon as I entered the compound, I heard from the neighbors that He Ye's parents were coming.
Before Dong Fuyun had time to be happy that his elder sister and brother-in-law had come to Hucheng, he heard his elder sister and brother-in-law say that they had brought some good wine for Old Dong.
Thinking of how selfish and partial Old Dong had been over the years, Dong Fuyun was so happy that he threw the luggage on his back to the ground. He strode into the house, picked up a jar of wine, opened the cloth seal on the jar, lifted the jar, raised his head and gulped down half of the jar!
"You old man, you're so selfish, you've only cared about your own happiness your whole life. How dare you drink the good wine that my elder sister and brother-in-law worked so hard to bring me!"
Xu Hui and Dong Taohua were both stunned. Where did this drunkard come from?
Are drunkards so blatant now?
Or has it evolved to the point where you can break into someone's house and steal their alcohol?
The couple, one picking up a broom and the other picking up a bench, were about to chase the man away, but Xu Heye had already recognized the crazy man.
Xu Heye hurriedly stopped her parents, "Mom and Dad, please spare his life. This is my uncle."
"Your uncle?" Dong Taohua stopped hitting Dong Fuyun's head with a bench. She looked carefully at the disheveled young man in front of her. Oh, this really is her youngest brother.
Dong Taohua dropped the stool she was holding and snatched the wine jar from Dong Fuyun's hand. "Youngest, what's wrong with you?"
Dong Fuyun was not angry when his wine jar was snatched away. He dazedly followed Dong Taohua's movements and sat down on the chair.
Seeing this, Xu Hui on the other side also put down his broom.
He looked at Dong Fuyun. This was the second time he met his brother-in-law.
The first time they met was when they returned to Hucheng in the second year of their marriage and saw him at Dong's house.
At that time, Dong Fuyun was still a little boy of about ten years old, as thin as a monkey, wearing dirty and tattered old clothes, and looking at people timidly.
Dong Taohua didn't say anything at the time, but as soon as she left her parents' home, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
While she was at home, this younger brother also picked up his older siblings' hand-me-downs, but he always kept them clean. Given limited resources, even if there were holes, Dong Taohua would carefully patch them with patches of the right color.
Who would have thought that after only four years of her going to the countryside, I would become the little beggar I am today.
When they got home, Dong Taohua painstakingly searched for cloth coupons and made clothes for him and mailed them back. Worried that he wouldn't be able to wear them, Dong Taohua even wrote a letter specifically stating that the clothes were made for the youngest.
Fifteen years passed in a flash, and their daughter was already fifteen years old.
The skinny little monkey has grown into the tall, strong and burly guy he is now.
If you look closely, Dong Fuyun's eyebrows and eyes bear some resemblance to his wife's. He Ye looks like her mother, and the uncle and nephew also have some similarities in their eyebrows and eyes.
Xu Hui instantly felt that his brother-in-law was much friendlier, and no longer cared about his rude behavior of snatching the wine as soon as he appeared.
Dong Fuyun stared at the table with his eyes wide open. He was drunk!
It was really like a person who never drank alcohol suddenly drank half a jar of wine. Even if it was rice wine with a lower alcohol content, he was still drunk.
"Uncle?" Xu Heye reached out and pushed Dong Fuyun's arm.
What happened?
Her uncle doesn't drink, let alone drink as much as he did today.
Dong Fuyun's body shook and he fell down following Xu Heye's movements.
Xu Hui, who was standing next to him, was quick to help the man up.
He let go of his hand, and Dong Fuyun lowered his head and fell onto the table in front of him again. Seeing this, Dong Taohua quickly reached out to catch Dong Fuyun's head to prevent him from hitting his forehead on the table and bleeding.
She slowly let go and let Dong Fuyun lie on the table.
After a while, Dong Fuyun's thunderous snoring could be heard in the room.
The family of three gathered around Dong Fuyun and studied him for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion: this kid had lost his memory due to drinking!
Xu Heye looked at Dong Fuyun, who was still wearing wet clothes that looked like rotten pickles, and then looked at the large pile of things that looked like luggage thrown at the door of the room. She knew that Dong Fuyun must have had a conflict with his family and ran away from home.
I just don't know why he suddenly made this decision.
You know, Uncle Lu had asked him to move in and live with him a long time ago.
After Lu's mother passed away, Lu Jun was the only one left in the Lu family. Although the Lu family's place was not big, it could easily accommodate Dong Fuyun, and he wouldn't have to live in the cramped conditions of the Dong family.
Dong Fuyun's stay at the Dong family can't be said to be a residence, it can only be said that he has a place to stay.
He didn't have his own room, not even a bed of his own.
I sleep on the floor in the living room at night and put the bedding away when I wake up in the morning, otherwise there will be no place to entertain guests.
However, Dong Fuyun always said that he was used to it and did not move out.
The drunk man couldn't find out the reason, so the three of them joined in: Dong Taohua boiled water, Xu Heye took the luggage, and Xu Hui wiped him down and changed his clothes...
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when the others finally fell asleep.
The rental house was left to Dong Fuyun, and the family of three moved into a small hotel nearby.
The next day, Dong Fuyun woke up, and Xu Heye finally understood why he had run away from home. His aunt Dai Ying was unemployed, and his uncle Dong Fuyun had earned money selling things on the street, so they turned their attention to him.
My uncle was not happy and moved out of the house.
Xu Heye tried hard to recall, and it seemed that this had happened to him in his previous life.
But at that time, their target of exploitation was her.
At this time in her previous life, she had lost her mother, left her father, could not speak the language, and had become timid and cowardly. At only fifteen years old, she didn't dare to buy a ticket home alone.
The other members of the Dong family didn't care about her, nor were they willing to sacrifice time and money to buy tickets to accompany her back to Gan Province.
Her uncle, the only one who cared about her, couldn't take care of her at that time.
By then, Lü's mother had been in trouble, and Lü Jun was busy chasing the murderer, so naturally his uncle and his friends didn't come out to set up shop. He left early and returned late every day, doing odd jobs everywhere just to earn his own food.
Teachers' salaries are not high. Without his mother's income, it would be very difficult for his father to support a student studying in Hucheng alone, so he could only work harder.
So even though the tutoring at school was over, my father did not choose to rest, but instead taught a few students privately to earn some tutoring fees.
She couldn't go back and could only spend her summer vacation at Dong's house.
The cramped and crowded living environment has a great impact on people's mood. After my aunt lost her job, the already strange family atmosphere became even more distorted, and there were banging and banging in the old Dong family's house every day.
Xu Heye lived cautiously every day. Even if her father gave her an excess living allowance, she would still be accused of being a freeloader...
She spent her fifteenth birthday in anxiety and scolding.
Later, her aunt took her back and gave her some time to breathe.
But soon my aunt couldn't take care of her anymore...
