When Yin Chunmei arrived home, Yin Chao had just finished school.
While cooking, Yin Chunmei asked her son about his situation at school.
There were several households living in the courtyard where they lived. Hearing the sound of a door opening outside, Yin Chao quickly opened the door to see what was happening.
Since their family moved here, Uncle Wen has been coming here openly.
Yin Chao opened the door with high hopes, but the person who came in was not the one he expected. He slowly closed the door again.
Yin Chunmei knew what Yin Chao was thinking. But...
Yin Chunmei prepared the meal, told the children to eat first, and then took the lunchbox and left.
"Auntie, where are you taking the food?" Yin Chao asked.
Yin Chunmei swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She couldn't mention Brother Dajun. That would only make the child more attached to him.
Since the household registration was changed, Yin Chao occasionally called her "Mom," but gradually started calling her "Aunt," both in public and in private.
The child is young, but he understands everything.
He calls for his mother when he talks in his sleep.
Yin Chunmei felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart again...
It would be a lie to say that Wen Dajun wasn't excited when he saw the food laid out in front of him.
"Have you eaten?" Wen Dajun asked.
"I'll go back and eat, you eat first!"
Yin Chunmei really intended to leave right after putting down the food.
Wen Dajun has now found Yin Chunmei's weakness. "Don't send me any more next time, I don't want to eat any."
"Man is made of iron, food is made of steel, how can you not eat!" Yin Chunmei, who was planning to leave, couldn't leave.
"I really don't want to eat, I don't feel hungry!" Wen Dajun said as he closed the lunchbox.
"That won't do! Eat something!"
"I even put meat in it!" Yin Chunmei opened the lunchbox again and stuffed the chopsticks into his hand.
Wen Dajun put down his chopsticks. "I really don't want to eat!"
"Is something wrong with you? Why don't we go see Dr. Song tomorrow?" Yin Chunmei reached out to touch Wen Dajun's forehead, but then lowered her hand.
Wen Dajun lowered his head, trying to hide the urge to laugh. Over all these years, Chunmei had never taken the initiative to approach him.
“I just don’t want to eat, it’s not a problem!” Wen Dajun said.
"Why don't you try it first? Didn't you used to say that my cooking is delicious?" Yin Chunmei was really anxious. If this person doesn't eat, wouldn't that be the end of them?
"I really don't want to eat it at all."
"Why don't you eat with me?" Wen Dajun asked tentatively.
Yin Chunmei only brought enough food for one person; it definitely wouldn't be enough for two.
But eating with Brother Dajun is better than him not eating at all.
Yin Chunmei: "Okay!" she said, and then went to get another pair of chopsticks.
During the meal, she kept urging Wen Dajun to eat.
Wen Dajun ate very slowly. If he finished eating quickly, Chunmei would leave, so he dawdled even more.
In Yin Chunmei's eyes, Dajun really didn't want to eat; he was forcing himself to eat.
The meal was eaten slowly, taking more than fifty minutes.
Yin Chunmei: "Brother Dajun, let's go see him tomorrow! Doctor Song's medical skills are so good, will he be better after just two doses of medicine?"
“I’m a grown man, I know whether I’m sick or not, I don’t need to take medicine!” Wen Dajun said.
"I heard you haven't been to Doctor Song's for many days. Cheer up and go tomorrow!"
Work hard, earn more money... In the future... Brother Dajun, your good days are ahead.
"I'll live a good life with Yin Chao from now on." Yin Chunmei wanted to say that he would find a good woman to live with in the future. But she knew that Brother Dajun didn't want to hear this and would get angry as soon as he did.
He just ate, so don't upset him.
"Xiuer, I used to think that I would work hard to earn money and marry you."
But I never expected you to have an accident... If you want to live alone, then live alone. As long as you and your child are doing well, that's all that matters.
I thought it would be good enough if I could take care of you all...
"Who knew I was such a jinx!" Wen Dajun looked utterly defeated.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"When you get married and have children, your life will be wonderful!" Yin Chunmei said this not because she wasn't heartbroken, but because she knew that a short pain was better than a long one.
"Xiuer, what you're saying is definitely impossible. I'm telling you... I... I..."
You know, I'm already this old, how can my family not pressure me to get back to work?
My family is pressuring me to go on blind dates, but looking at those ugly women gives me a headache; none of them can compare to you.
There's something I can tell you, but I can't tell anyone else.
...My dad saw that I was getting older and older, so he asked someone to introduce me to a widow.
The widow recognized me; she lunged at me the moment she saw me...
I couldn't do it.
"Xiuer!" Wen Dajun called out Yin Chunmei's old name and grabbed her hand. "Whenever I see you near you, I think... I think about those things between men and women."
But others can't. Really, I'm not kidding you.
The widow had taken off all her clothes, but not only did I not want to do it, I also couldn't...
The woman ran away when she saw I was useless.
Yin Chunmei tried to pull her hand away, but Wen Dajun held on tightly. Hearing Wen Dajun say such things, Yin Chunmei's face turned bright red. "Let go!"
"Xiuer, men are all...you know...when I'm thinking about you, I think I can last a while...but if I try to think about other women, I'm done for immediately."
"You always tell me to find a good woman to settle down with, but that's just impossible!" Wen Dajun simply hugged Yin Chunmei. "Who would want a useless man like me!"
Yin Chunmei was suddenly hugged and was terrified, which brought back memories of the bad things that happened back then.
Wen Dajun sensed Yin Chunmei's tension and fear, and he made no further moves.
"Xiuer, how could a grown man like me not think about women?"
But I can't do it!
Actually, I was also feeling really uncomfortable! Wen Dajun hugged her tightly and wouldn't let go.
When Hou Fa came to see Wen Dajun, he chatted with him aimlessly.
Hou Fa said that to win over a wife, you have to use sweet words.
He couldn't go back to Kyoto. His wife asked him in a letter if the women in Kyoto were pretty and if he was dazzled by them.
He told his wife that ever since he got married, he's adored her and only sees her as beautiful; he's completely incapable of being attracted to other women...
Wen Dajun's nonsense today was inspired by Hou Fa.
Yin Chunmei was very nervous being held, and she was also nervous about what Wen Dajun was talking about.
Brother Dajun, what's wrong with you? Is there any doctor who can treat this kind of problem?
"Xiuer, I know you're determined not to marry me. I'm a jinx, and I don't even dare to think about marrying you anymore."
But I can't just find any woman to settle down with anymore!
Even if you agreed to marry me, I wouldn't dare. I'm just not capable.
Marrying anyone would just leave the other person to live a life of widowhood!
So tell me, what's the point of my life? I'm not even a real man!
I don't dare go home now, because my dad will keep nagging me about getting married." Wen Dajun was still hugging Yin Chunmei.
