"Second brother, your intention to help your second cousin is good."
I just have some concerns.
Your fourth cousin has always just buried himself in the fields working all these years and doesn't like interacting with people.
Pan Cuilian suddenly remembered her nephew's behavior over the years, frowned, and felt a vague sense of worry.
Why?
Mom, wasn't Cousin Qiufeng a pretty cheerful person before?
I remember when we were little, he would take me to run to bird nests; he was just as mischievous as I was.
Yu Chengyuan's impression of his fourth cousin remained from his childhood.
"Sigh! It's probably because of his physical disability. He's afraid others will look down on him!"
Therefore, he is usually quiet and reserved.
He didn't even have much to say to his parents.
The once cheerful and lively young man is now like a completely different person.
Last time your father and I went to your second uncle's house, he just came out and said hello.
Then he picked up his hoe and went out.
He didn't come back when we left.
"how so?"
Yu Pingan couldn't help but ask.
"He probably didn't want us to see him like that."
I don't know if your second uncle can persuade him.
She barely spoke a few words to her nephew during her last visit, and had been thinking of inviting him to her home for a visit.
"Ah, Cousin Qiufeng has turned out like this?"
My second uncle didn't mention it at all.
Yu Ping'an was quite surprised, as he hadn't had time to pay attention to it over the years.
There's just no way around it; there's always endless chores to do at home.
“Mom, I understand your concern, but Fourth Cousin can’t stay immersed in his own world and lock himself away forever, can he?”
Now, I'm giving him this opportunity to come out again, face the outside world again, and regain his confidence. Isn't that a good thing?
Yu Chengyuan really didn't expect that his cousin Qiufeng's situation was like this.
It seems the first step is to persuade him to come out and face the situation.
"Hey, you guys don't know, and I didn't tell you either."
I haven't even told your father about this.
Your second uncle told me this secretly.
Qiu Feng had a sweetheart, and they were engaged and scheduled to get married at the end of the year.
However, after the incident, the girl, accompanied by her parents, went to the groom's house to break off the engagement.
Your second aunt initially disagreed, and then the other party started making a scene.
It caused quite a stir at the time, and the mother-in-law said some extremely offensive things.
Everything they say makes him seem like a cripple, unworthy of their daughter, and so on.
Your second uncle arranged for the marriage to be called off.
Qiufeng was devastated and locked himself in his room for three days and three nights without eating. It was Guyu who kicked open the door and rescued him.
And that's how that child ended up looking like this.
The Yu brothers were deeply saddened to hear this!
I never imagined my fourth cousin had such a tragic past.
No wonder it turned out like this; it seems like he was greatly affected.
"Mother, I sympathize with my fourth cousin's experience."
But if he can't stand up on his own, then this is all he can do for the rest of his life.
My second uncle and his family will grow old one day. What will happen to my fourth cousin if they are no longer here?
My third cousin is already married and has his own family. Even if someone wanted to take care of him, they probably couldn't do much.
He'll only become more insecure then, and might even do something similar again.
Yu Chengyuan was worried that such a thing would happen because he had done it before.
"Chengyuan, what should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Cuilian immediately asked anxiously.
"How about this!"
Today, I'll go with you to visit your eldest and second uncles' houses!
I should really visit them in person.
That way, we can explain things in more detail.
Wait for me at home.
I'll go talk to the village chief first and ask all the villagers to deliver the vegetables.
Yu Chengyuan felt that the situation seemed quite serious, and it looked like he had to make a trip.
It would be good for me to go there and learn about the situation in that village.
"Chengyuan, let me go!"
"You should accompany your parents to your uncle's place first."
Yu Pingan thought that he wouldn't be able to say anything even if he went, so he decided to let his younger brother go instead. He was more eloquent and would be better able to persuade his fourth cousin.
Upon hearing this, Yu Chengyuan nodded, "Alright, brother, just go to the village chief's house and convey my message."
It would be best if he announced it on the radio.
"Okay, that's a good idea, let's do it this way!"
I'm going to catch some crayfish anyway, I'll use the method you used last time!
Yu Pingan nodded.
Using the village committee's loudspeaker would save time and effort.
You can also catch crayfish and earn some money.
Using the same method my brother used last time, we're sure to reap a lot of rewards again.
"Okay, remember to put stones in the basket so they won't be washed away by the water."
"Father, Mother, let's not delay, let's go to Uncle's house now!"
Yu Chengyuan glanced at the time; it was 4:30, almost time to leave.
"I won't go. I'll stay home and cook!"
There's only one bicycle at home, you and your dad can go!
There's not enough room for all of us.
Pan Cuilian said.
"Cuilian, you and the second brother should go instead."
The second brother can take you along, that's perfect!
You're from my family, so it's easier to talk to you about anything.
I'll just stay home!
"I cleared out that little bit of land on the back hill."
We can plant the vegetables earlier, so we don't have to leave them until tomorrow.
Yu Dazhu thought that since his wife was from his own family, it would be easier for her to talk to him.
