Chapter 56: Men Don’t Cry Easily
"Who are you? You're laughing so..." The word "ugly" was stuck in Li Tongtong's throat, and her furious voice stopped abruptly.
From the corner of her eye she saw that Ye Jingxiao looked funny and ugly. She was about to make fun of him, but when she saw him restraining his smile she was stunned.
There are thousands of good-looking men in the world, and the man standing there is like the silent mountains and rivers, with unparalleled elegance and beauty that is hard to describe.
He was also holding two large woven bags in his hands, which were bulging. I guess they were full of things. It was rare to find a man who was both rich and handsome.
Ye Siran and the other two took advantage of Li Tongtong's daze and walked past her and left. It was not until the sound of a car rang that Li Tongtong came to her senses.
By the time she reacted and caught up with the car, all she had left was a tail of smoke and dust raised by the car.
She stamped her feet and cursed in anger, and was pointed at by people passing by and was forcibly dragged away by her little sisters.
"Humph! Brother Zilong must know him. Wait for me. I'm going to complain to Aunt Chen now."
Ye Siran didn't care about Li Tongtong's madness when she went to Chen's house. Chen Zilong sent the brother and sister to the gate of the cement factory and then parked the car.
The gatekeeper saw two unusual-looking men and women carrying snakeskin bags and stopped them with disdain, "This is the family compound, you are not allowed to enter casually."
Ye Jingxiao knew that his uncle had no power in the cement factory, so he wanted to wait for Chen Zilong to park the car before taking them in.
But Ye Siran didn't want to rely on others for everything. She smiled and said, "Master, we are not casual people. Our uncle lives here."
"Little girl, I'm not trying to embarrass you. Everyone who comes here says they have relatives inside. Since your uncle lives inside, you can ask him to come out and pick you up."
"Then lend me your phone and I'll ask my uncle to pick me up." Ye Siran said confidently.
As she spoke, she took out a pack of Pegasus cigarettes from the space and handed it to the gatekeeper.
Normally, people who came to the old man for help would only give him one cigarette. A Pegasus cigarette cost three cents, and a pack cost twenty-eight cents.
Besides, the girl was very confident and spoke in a relaxed tone, which made the gatekeeper feel uneasy. Almost all the people who had a telephone at home were cadres of the cement factory.
No wonder the little girl gave the old man a pack of Pegasus. His expression changed immediately, and his wrinkled face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
He said in a very friendly manner: "Phone calls are expensive, there is no need to waste them, please go in."
Ye Siran didn’t know what the old man was thinking, nor did she know her uncle’s home phone number or whether he had a telephone.
She had learned how to use the phone in the morning, so she looked very confident.
Seeing that the old man was willing to let them in, she politely gave him a nice guy card: "Thank you, old man, you are such a good person."
"Sister Siran, you have already been admitted. I will go to the Armed Forces Department to get the certificate now."
Chen Zilong parked the car and ran to the gate, and saw Ye Siran and his sister had already gone in.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Chen. Please come to the door to pick us up in an hour." Ye Siran said loudly.
When the gatekeeper saw Chen Zilong in military uniform, he became even more certain that the person Ye Siran and his sister were looking for was not an ordinary person.
If he knew that Ye Siran and his sister were looking for Ye Zhanyang, who was bullied by everyone in the cement factory, I wonder what he would think.
Ye Zhanyang might be very capable in other areas, but he can't do anything in the cement factory.
Falling from the sky into the mud, the psychological gap made it difficult for him to adapt. In a trance, he couldn't even do the simplest task.
At the beginning, only the factory cadres bullied him, but as time went on, anyone could bully him.
Ye Siran didn't know her uncle's situation, but Ye Jingxiao knew it very well. He stared at his sister in amazement, "My sister is really amazing."
Ye Siran said proudly: "Brother, what's so great about this? Do you know which building my uncle lives in?"
"I know. You need a detailed address when writing a letter." Ye Jingxiao said with a smile. Although it was his first time here, he knew which building and which floor his uncle lived on.
The brother and sister knocked on the door for a long time before they heard a tired voice asking, "Who is it?"
"Uncle, it's me Jingxiao, and..." Before Ye Jingxiao could finish his words, the door opened.
"Jing Xiao... why are you here? Did something happen? Ah... you brought your girlfriend here?" Ye Zhanyang was so shocked that he was incoherent.
"Uncle, I'm Siran, don't you remember me?" When Ye Siran saw the unrecognizable person in front of her, she felt sad.
"Ranran, you are actually Ranran, and you've grown so tall?" Ye Zhanyang was shaking with excitement.
His wife has been sick for several days and they have no money to go to the hospital, so he took a day off today to stay at home and take care of his wife.
They have been working at the cement factory for five years and have never received a single relative. The Chen family wanted to help him but he sternly refused because he was afraid of implicating others.
He thought that working at the county cement factory would allow him to be closer to his parents, but he hasn't seen his parents once in five years.
The couple's salary was not high to begin with, and was deducted in various ways. His wife became more and more desperate, and her health became worse!
When he first arrived, he saw others crying and shouting about wanting to go back, and he secretly despised those people for not being able to withstand pressure.
He felt that even if he couldn't achieve earth-shattering results, at least he wouldn't be embarrassed.
Little did I know that in the years to come, I would not only have to eat coarse food, but also have to endure the torture of the smell of food from the neighbors.
"Uncle, is aunt okay?" Ye Siran's crisp voice interrupted Ye Zhanyang's thoughts.
"Ran Ran, Jing Xiao, please sit down. Auntie isn't feeling well. Uncle will go boil some water for you to drink."
"Brother Yang, who's here?" An old and weak voice came from the bedroom.
"Aunt is at home! Can I come in to see you?" Ye Siran asked, looking at the half-open bedroom door.
"Ranran, drink some water and then go in to see your aunt!" Ye Zhanyang was worried that his wife's sick appearance would scare his niece.
"Uncle, I'm not thirsty. I'll go in and see my aunt first." Ye Siran said as he pushed open the door and walked in.
Ye Jingxiao stood at the door and saw at a glance a skinny person lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper and his lips bloodless.
With sunken eye sockets and high cheekbones, my aunt's once bright and beautiful face has been completely destroyed by illness.
"Aunt..." Ye Jingxiao called out softly with sobs. Ye Siran thought her brother would cry, but unfortunately he didn't.
When Ye Siran saw her brother forcing back his tears, her mouth instantly opened into an O shape. What was her brother doing?
It's not a sin for a man to cry, and these are his closest relatives. "Brother, if you want to cry, just cry!"
"I didn't cry." Ye Jingxiao tried his best to deny it, but there was still a hint of sob in his voice.
Seeing that her brother was unwilling to admit it, Ye Siran stopped talking and took out a kettle from the cloth bag and handed it to her uncle.
"Uncle, Auntie is feeling very uncomfortable now. Please give her some water. When I saw my brother, his internal organs were all bleeding from being beaten. Look, he is completely fine now."
