Chapter 224 Amnesiac Dad
Tianzhu Niang looked at Yunli for a long time without saying anything. She felt ashamed and guilty!
It was her selfishness that hurt him and his family.
She never expected that his daughter would be this big now.
At this moment, she turned her gaze to Yun Li and looked at the girl in front of her carefully. Only then did she realize that her eyebrows and temperament were so similar to his.
Judging from her dress and conversation, she must be from a more than ordinary family. If she took him away, he might be saved!
Yun Li nodded slightly: "Mother Tianzhu, if you don't mind, I'll call you aunt. My father accidentally ended up here because of some changes in his family. Maybe it was fate that allowed me to meet Tianzhu. I finally found him, and I must take my father away!
He doesn't belong here. He has a mother and a family. Moreover, his current health condition requires him to be taken out for treatment as soon as possible.
From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful to you for saving him and for taking care of him all these years!"
After Yun Li finished speaking, he stood up from the bed and bowed to her solemnly!
Tianzhu Niang looked at Yunli in surprise, waved her hand and said, "He is my husband, it is my duty to take care of him, it is my duty..."
As she spoke, she touched her forehead nervously.
Yun Li said calmly, "He is not your husband! He has never been, he is not now, and he will never be in the future!"
Tianzhu Niang's breathing stagnated, and she realized that she had said the wrong thing. She knew that he never belonged here, let alone to her.
Over the past two years, he has been very polite to her and always deliberately kept a distance from her in their daily interactions. Although he would care about her on weekdays, every time she took the initiative to approach him, he would subconsciously refuse or avoid her. His heart was never here.
His concern for her was just out of gratitude. In the past two years, he didn't like others to get too close to him.
Even though Tianzhu called him dad, he did not have the warmth between father and son with Tianzhu. Instead, they were more like friends or elders.
Tianzhu Niang sighed slightly and said to Yunli in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry!"
He looked at her pleadingly: "Can I see him one more time before you take him away?"
After thinking about it, Yun Li nodded and said, "Okay!"
"What's your father's name? When I met him, he said he didn't know his name, so I told him his name was Liu Zhuang!"
"My father's name is Yu Chen!"
Yun Li didn't care too much about anything with her. As long as her father and she were fine and there was no close contact, it was fine. It was just her wishful thinking!
Of course she knew about her father's charm, so she was not surprised at all that Tianzhu Niang fell in love with her father and was so infatuated with him!
Tsk tsk~ Her father had already caused her a debt of love the moment he arrived. If her mother knew about this... I wonder if her father's life would be any easier! Why was she so inexplicably looking forward to it...
Afterwards, Yunli and Tianzhu's mother talked about many things and learned that Tianzhu's mother was Liu Mei, a native of Yazi Village.
Liu Mei was very beautiful when she was young, and was favored by many men in the village. She also followed an old doctor in the village to learn how to read and recognize Chinese medicine, and understand some basic medical knowledge.
At the age of seventeen, she married a young man in the village, Tianzhu's father, named Liu Qi. Liu Qi was honest and hardworking, but he was plain-looking, his family was poor, and he had a sick mother.
But Liu Mei was attracted by his diligence and hard work, so she married him. However, the good times did not last long. Liu Qi went out to work in a mine and was hit by a rock from the mountain and died on the spot.
At that time, Liu Mei was more than three months pregnant with Tianzhu, leaving the orphan and widowed mother to depend on each other in Yazi Village for more than ten years.
Because their village was located in a remote and secluded area, it was basically unknown to anyone. Therefore, no outsiders came in. Over time, the people in the village gradually grew old.
The old people died in waves, and the capable young people who went out to work settled down and moved their families away from here. The remaining old, weak and sick people just waited to die here.
At first, everyone in the village felt sorry for the orphan and widow, and took care of them on weekdays. As time went on, the men in the village gradually set their sights on Liu Mei. Fortunately, she was strong-willed, smart, and knew how to protect herself and her children. Because she accidentally killed a man in the village, no one dared to harass her since then!
She also thought about leaving Yazi Village, letting Tianzhu go to school, and seeing the outside world.
But she had limited means. Food and accommodation in Ancheng were very expensive for her. She was afraid that she would not be able to protect her child in an unfamiliar place. Over time, she gave up the idea.
Usually, she would go to the mountains to dig herbs, dry them, and then take them to the pharmacy in Ancheng to sell. She didn't make a lot of money, but it was barely enough to support her and her mother.
After Yu Chen was rescued, he went up the mountain to hunt and sold the furs of the prey. The family now had meat to eat, and their lives gradually became better than before.
Originally, she thought that she would be content to live here with Yu Chen for the rest of her life. She wanted to give Yu Chen another child, but Yu Chen never let her touch him. Every time she approached, he would walk away expressionlessly, as if he disliked her touching. That dislike was engraved in his bones!
This made her feel deeply frustrated. She had clearly told him that they were husband and wife, and Yu Chen believed it, but he had never been willing to touch her, not even to hold her hand...
Yu Chen would go up the mountain to hunt after eating early every day, and would not come back until the afternoon. Sometimes he would teach Tianzhu to read, sometimes he would lock himself in the house for the whole day, and more often he would stand under the crabapple tree and stare into the distance in a daze.
Every time after selling his prey, Yu Chen would bring back some food and daily necessities, as well as books. He loved reading and would often spend the entire day reading.
This also made her realize that Yu Chen was not an ordinary person.
She used to be very afraid that Yu Chen would remember something one day and leave them and their mother and son. So every time the doctor treated him, she was afraid that the doctor would cure him... But when she saw him in so much pain, she hoped that he would get better...
In this way, she lived in her own struggle and anxiety every day. After all, they were not the same kind of people. Yu Chen did not belong to her. His family came and wanted to take him away.
…
After a sleepless night, Helian Chi returned to Ancheng at four o'clock in the morning. He told his eldest brother the news that his father-in-law had been found, and then brought people to pick them up!
Originally, Yun Li didn't want to go through all this trouble, but after much thought, she felt that her brother should come. As their father's children, they should thank their father's savior in person and repay him!
Tianzhu and Liumei are both from Yu country. My brother came here and learned about their situation, so he can take care of them in the future!
