Chapter 42
Ye Fuyue smiled and said, "If you really care about your brother Ye Yu and really want to go to the countryside in his place, you can ask Wu Longfei to wait for you for a few years. Wu Longfei likes you so much, he will definitely be willing to wait for you. Your name has already been reported and is on the list of people going to the countryside."
"I...I..." Ye Fuyun twisted the corner of his clothes with his fingers and was unable to speak.
"Enough!" Ye's father roared irritably.
He glared at Ye Fuyue: "I'll ask you again, will you help me or not?"
"I can't help, I won't help." Ye Fuyue said calmly.
Father Ye glared at Ye Fuyue with anger on his face.
Just when Ye Fuyue thought that her father was going to be furious again, he pulled her mother and knelt in front of her with a plop.
This kneeling not only shocked Ye Fuyue, but also frightened the onlookers.
Parents kneeling down to their daughter is against filial piety and will be condemned by everyone!
"Fuyue, your parents have never asked you for anything in their lives, but just this one thing, your parents beg you." Father Ye made a bitter face and pleaded humbly, "You three are all your parents' flesh and blood. Because your brother is the youngest, your mother and I love him a little more, but we love you just as much! Look at you and Fuyun, you both went to high school, and you even graduated. If we didn't care about you, would we have paid for you to go to high school? Look at our family compound, how many girls have gone to high school. You and Fuyun have been able to study for so long, many people envy you."
"It's okay that you're usually mean to me and your mom, and it's okay that you always go against us. Even when you threatened us with a kitchen knife, saying you were going to kill us, we didn't hold it against you. Now that you're married, and married well, your mom and I are happy for you, and we won't bother you if we can."
"However, regarding your brother's matter, we have no other options, so we come to you and Shen Yao for help. Please help us this time!"
Ye's father spoke with great sincerity, and Ye's mother acted with him beside him. They both looked like they were about to kowtow to Ye Fuyue.
Most of the onlookers were already parents. After hearing what Ye's father said, they were deeply moved and began to blame Ye Fuyue.
"I said that the daughter-in-law of the Shen family is not a good person. She actually threatened her own parents with a kitchen knife. Is this something a human being can do?!" Aunt Liang said.
"How good can a person be who can force his own parents to kneel down in public?" said Cui Yongfang, the eldest daughter-in-law of Aunt Liang.
"She is anxious to marry Shen Yao, isn't it because she doesn't want to go to the countryside. She has badly hurt her own brother, and now she is forcing her parents to kneel down to her. The Shen family is really unlucky to marry such a daughter-in-law!" Aunt Xie said gloatingly.
"Anyway, I can't do something like threatening my parents with a kitchen knife." Yao Yi crossed her arms, looking like she was enjoying the show.
Zhou Jinmei and Ye Fuyun also felt very happy.
The two of them usually disliked Ye Fuyue, especially after Ye Fuyue embarrassed them in front of so many people in the slum last time, they hated Ye Fuyue even more.
Ye Fuyue looked at her father and mother, who had their heads hung low and expressions of grief on their faces.
These two people are acting out for Ye Yu, to force her, and to ruin her reputation.
Oh, the more they pushed her, the more she wouldn't let them get what they wanted.
With a "thump", Ye Fuyue knelt on the ground in front of her father and mother.
Both Ye's father and mother were stunned, and they almost couldn't hold back the grief expressions they had managed to put on.
Ye Fuyue wiped her eyes and cried out, "You let Fuyun and I go to high school, and we are grateful, even though we know that you actually wanted us to marry into a good family so that we can help you and Ye Yu. I took the kitchen knife because you and mom scolded and beat me, and were dissatisfied with me for this and that. I was scared by you, so I took the kitchen knife to protect myself."
"I know that you love Ye Yu the most and can't bear to see him suffer even the slightest bit. As his sister, I feel the same way. Seeing Ye Yu go to the countryside, I am also heartbroken. I also hope that Ye Yu can come back soon."
“But, you asked Shen Yao to arrange work for Ye Yu, I really can’t do it!”
"How many people in our compound have gone to the countryside? Every one of them is the flesh and blood of their parents. Their parents miss them, feel sorry for them, and hope that they can come back soon. If the factory really wants to recruit workers, don't you want to find a job for your children and let your children come back soon? How can Shen Yao bypass these people in the compound and arrange a job for Ye Yu first!"
Those who were cursing Ye Fuyue changed sides instantly after hearing what Ye Fuyue said.
At first, they didn't know that Ye's father and mother knelt down in order to ask Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao to arrange a job for their son Ye Yu. Now that Ye Fuyue had explained the reason, these people could no longer hold back.
"That's right! My second son is still in the countryside, and I want to find him a job so he can come back soon. Even if the factory really wants to recruit workers, we, the children of family members, will be given priority! You, an outsider, are kneeling down and begging for mercy, just to get a job before us?"
"If I could get a job by kneeling down and playing the victim, I'd want to kneel down and play the victim, too."
"Who said it wasn't true? Your son has only been in the countryside for a few days, but mine has been there for five years! I can't even get my son back, and you're just kneeling down here crying, and you expect a job to come your way and let your son return to the city?"
"Fu Yue, you are a smart person. You can't let Chen Yao arrange a job for your brother. If we find out that Chen Yao doesn't give priority to arranging jobs for people in our compound, but arranges jobs for your brother first, we will go to the First Factory to make trouble." said an aunt.
Ye Fuyue wiped away her nonexistent tears and said, "Auntie, look at what you said. How could Shen Yao be so capable of arranging jobs for people? The last time I went back to my parents' house, Shen Yao and I made it clear to my parents that we couldn't help and didn't have the ability. But my parents didn't believe us and thought we were deliberately not helping. That's why they came to our house again today."
After Ye Fuyue finished speaking, she said to Ye's parents in a gentle voice: "Dad, Mom, you all heard it, Chen Yao really doesn't have the ability to arrange a job for anyone. Stop torturing me, kneeling down to me, and spreading rumors that I threatened you with a kitchen knife. Even if you force me to death and ruin my reputation, Chen Yao can't arrange a job for Ye Yu!"
"That's right! He even knelt down in front of his daughter. It's obvious that he was trying to embarrass her and put pressure on her."
"Instead of thinking of these little tricks, why not think of other ways to get your son back to the city? You're always pestering your daughter. It's really like what Fu Yue said. You think she married into a good family, so you have to help her parents."
