Chapter 40
Yu Tong's eyes were red and swollen, but he was holding a half-eaten piece of peach cake in his hand, and there were peach cake crumbs in his mouth.
Yu Tong quickly pulled Ye Fuyue into the house and quickly closed the door.
"If you hadn't told me you were Ye Fuyue, I wouldn't have opened the door for you." Yu Tong's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke.
"What's wrong with you? Your throat is hoarse and your eyes are swollen," Ye Fuyue asked curiously, "You didn't cry, did you?"
As soon as Ye Fuyue said "cry", Yu Tong wanted to cry again, and tears flowed out of his eyes involuntarily.
"It's that bastard Yang Shucong!"
"What happened to him? Did he come to see you?" Ye Fuyue asked anxiously.
"He still has the nerve to come to me?!" Yu Tong was so angry that he almost got drunk from squeezing the remaining peach cake in his hand. "If he dares to come to me, I will definitely send him to be criticized and paraded through the streets!"
Yu Tong softened his tone and continued, "When I think about how much I liked him, and how I thought I had found true love and would marry him, I feel bad for myself, and I feel stupid, and I hate Yang Shucong so much that my teeth itch."
As Yu Tong spoke, tears started to flow again. She casually grabbed a corner of her clothes and wiped her tears.
"You didn't go to work at the supply and marketing cooperative these two days, is it because you cried your eyes like this?" Ye Fuyue asked.
Yu Tong nodded. "When I got home from get off work that day, I thought about what happened between Yang Shucong and me and burst into tears. Then I couldn't stop crying. When I woke up the next day, my eyes were swollen like this. I didn't dare tell my parents the truth. If they knew that I had been deceived and that the person I was dating was a married man, I don't know how angry they would be. So I lied and said that my eyes were bitten by mosquitoes. I don't know if they really believed it or were just pretending to believe it."
"I thought you were sick. I'm glad you're not." Ye Fuyue said, "Anyone who encounters something like this will feel wronged. Cry, it will make you feel better."
Seeing that Ye Fuyue understood her so well, Yu Tong couldn't help crying again.
Ye Fuyue patted her back considerately and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Yu Tong cried and scolded Yang Shucong all over.
If it weren't for the fact that Yang Shucong had a daughter and she didn't want the innocent child to be implicated, she really wanted to send Yang Shucong to the police station and drag him out to the street to be criticized.
However, Yang Shucong's reputation in their area was already ruined. After being driven out penniless by Ah Hui's family, Yang Shucong would not have a good life. Yu Tong was satisfied with Yang Shucong's fate.
After Yu Tong finished crying, she ate the remaining peach cake in her hand.
After taking a bite, she thought of something and asked Ye Fuyue, "Do you want to eat some peach cakes? I have plenty at home."
Ye Fuyue shook her head: "I had a full lunch, so I'm not hungry."
Yu Tong said "Oh" and said while eating: "I felt very hungry after crying, so I looked for something to eat from all over the house."
She noticed the canned fruit that Ye Fuyue brought over: "Did you bring this? Take it back later. I don't want it."
"I've brought it here, so just accept it. When I get back, I can tell Shen Yao and your aunt that you didn't go to work because your eyes were swollen from mosquito bites."
Although Yu Tong didn't know what the inevitable connection was between the two, he nodded silently and accepted Ye Fuyue's statement.
Ye Fuyue comforted her, "Don't be too sad. After what happened with Yang Shucong, you'll definitely be more accurate in choosing men than before. The next person you meet will definitely be a hundred, a thousand times better than Yang Shucong!"
"That's right!" Yu Tong said, "I'm not bad either, so I'm sure I'll meet a good partner."
Over here, Ye Fuyue was still counseling Yu Tong at his home. Meanwhile, Ye's father and mother, carrying their hands full of things, went to the compound to look for Ye Fuyue.
Ye's parents were carrying bacon, dried chicken, brown sugar, and canned food. They asked someone in the compound where Ye Fuyue lived and then walked inside.
Mother Ye said worriedly, "We spent so much money on these things. Will Chen Yao really be willing to help us find a job for Yu'er? I saw the letter Yu'er sent back, saying how hard his life was in the countryside. He didn't have enough to eat all day and had to go to work before dawn. I was almost heartbroken."
When Ye's mother thought of the tragic situation described by Ye Yu in the letter, tears welled up in her eyes.
Father Ye was actually unsure, but apart from Shen Yao's approach, he couldn't think of any other way.
He scolded Ye's mother, "Now that we're here, stop saying such discouraging things! We brought so many things this time, and our intentions are sincere enough. I don't believe that Chen Yao, considering I'm his father-in-law, won't be willing to help us!"
Mother Ye raised her arm to wipe away the tears in her eyes and said, "I'm just afraid that if Chen Yao is unwilling to help us, we will waste all this money."
"It's not a waste." Father Ye said, "That's why I asked you to buy things that can be stored for a long time. Even if Chen Yao really doesn't want to help, we can eat these things ourselves."
When Ye's mother heard this, she looked at the things in their hands and thought that it was indeed true.
Mother Ye was a little happier: "You are really far-sighted! I bought whatever you asked me to buy, and I didn't even think of this."
Father Ye's face was full of pride.
"Dad? Mom?" Suddenly, a voice said.
Ye's father and mother were both stunned. They followed the sound and saw Ye Fuyun.
The two of them then remembered: Yes, Ye Fuyun also lived in this slum.
Ye Fuyun was also surprised to see Ye's father and mother. When she found what Ye's father and mother were holding, Ye Fuyun said in surprise: "Dad, Mom, you are here to see me! Come in quickly."
Before Ye's father and mother could speak, Ye Fuyun shouted into the house: "Grandma, my parents brought a lot of things to see me——"
Zhou Jinmei was sitting leisurely in a rocking chair in a daze. When she heard Ye Fuyun say that her parents had come, Zhou Jinmei was initially very disdainful.
What kind of good parents are they to raise Ye Fuyun into such a person? She looked down on Ye's father and mother from the bottom of her heart.
However, when Zhou Jinmei heard Ye Fuyun say that her parents brought a lot of things, she quickly got up from the rocking chair and walked out quickly.
She immediately spotted the bacon and air-dried chicken in the hands of Ye's father and mother, and said with a smile, "My dear relatives, what a rare guest! Come in quickly. I've asked Elder Fuyun to invite you to our home when she's free. It's been a while since the two children got married, and it's time for our two families to visit each other more often and get familiar with each other."
Father Ye and Mother Ye looked at each other, and Father Ye asked, "Are Fu Yue and Shen Yao home?"
"No." Ye Fuyun said: "I saw Chen Yao driving Fu Yue out this afternoon. I don't know where they went."
