Chapter 225 Favor
It was almost noon when Helian Chi and his brother arrived at Yazi Village with a group of people, exhausted.
As soon as he arrived in the yard, Yu Wenting called out urgently, "Little sister, where is father?"
"Brother, father is in the house! I'll take you there!"
Yunli brought Yuwen Ting to her father's room. Her father was still lying on the bed. The color of his face looked better than yesterday and not so pale.
"Is Dad's illness serious? I heard Ah Chi say on the way that Dad has lost his memory?"
Yun Li nodded: "Yes! Father lost his memory when he came here! His physical condition requires surgery. I can't explain it to you in a few words now. We'll talk in detail when we get back!"
"Yeah, okay!"
Yu Wenting reached out to help his father tidy up his parents' hair. Looking at his father's sleeping face on the bed, he felt a pang of heartache.
His father was in Yu Country, and he came here two years ago, which means he was here about the same time as him. He had come here several times, crossing the mountain in front of the mass grave. If he had thought more and gone over the mountain to take a look, he might have met his father, and his father would not be in the state he is in now.
We are both in Yu Country, but it was the younger sister who found her father when she came here!
Thinking of this, he felt an inexplicable sadness and self-blame in his heart.
Yun Li looked at the guilt and self-blame in her brother's eyes, thinking that he was worried about their father's condition, so she comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, I am confident in father's surgery. Don't worry, he will be fine!"
"Little sister, it's great to have you! If it weren't for you, we would still be out there looking for our father like a needle in a haystack!"
"Yes, it's fate! I think God was guiding me to find my father. I met Tianzhu by chance, and came to his house because I wanted to help him. I didn't expect my father to be here. If I hadn't chosen to help Tianzhu, I would have missed my father!"
"Little sister, we have to thank Tianzhu and his mother. I brought a thank you gift. Please take me to meet Tianzhu's mother!"
"good!"
Yunli planned to tell her brother about what happened between Tianzhu's mother and her father when she returned. Anyway, it would take time to explain the matter.
The two came to Tianzhu's mother's room, "Aunt, this is my brother!"
Tianzhu Niang looked up at the young man who walked into the room and had facial features that were 70% similar to his. For a moment, she felt as if this young man was him. She must have been like this when he was young, with the expression "As beautiful as jade, unparalleled young man in the world"!
"Hello, Auntie! I'm Yuwen Ting. Thank you for saving my father and for taking care of him over the past two years. My sister and I are very grateful."
Yu Wenting said this and bowed to Liu Mei who was lying on the bed.
"Good boy, get up quickly, you're welcome! It's my fault for not taking good care of your father and not seeing a doctor in time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have slept for so long like this...
And I should also thank your father, because he made our lives a little better."
"Aunt, what are you talking about? I will always remember your life-saving grace. I came here in a hurry today, so I brought a small gift. I hope you won't despise it!"
Yu Wenting waved his hand, and the guards at the door came with a box of gold and silver, a box of jewelry, a box of precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers for nourishing the body, and several pieces of silk and satin.
Liu Mei was stunned when she saw these gifts, secretly amazed. She didn't expect them to be so generous. She couldn't help but look at Yuwen Ting and the guard holding the tray again, and concluded that his son must be of extraordinary status. Judging from his posture, he must be a high-ranking official in the court.
"I can't do this, I can't do this. I don't want any gifts as a thank you. You can take these things back. These things are too valuable. Tianzhu and I are already orphans and widows. If these treasures were to be discovered by someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to live in peace!"
Liu Mei felt guilty. She felt that she could not accept these gifts of thanks. Compared to two years ago, she just saved Yu Chen. If it was someone else, she would save him the same way. But in the end, she lied to him. Compared to what Yu Chen did for them, her saving him was really not worth mentioning!
If Yu Chen doesn't wake up, she will have to live in deep self-blame and pain for the rest of her life. How can she have the nerve to accept all this money now! So she doesn't deserve such a great kindness from these two children.
Yuwen Ting hadn't expected her to refuse so bluntly, but then he thought again. What his aunt said made sense. They had come to the village in broad daylight, and there was no doubt someone had seen them. After they left, the money might bring disaster to his aunt and the children. He hadn't considered this matter carefully.
Looking around the house again, Yuwen Ting thought for a moment, then looked at Liu Mei and said, "Aunt, why don't you and Tianzhu leave here with us? We rely on the weather for our livelihood here, and it's inconvenient to go up and down the mountain. There's not even a doctor to see if we have a headache or a fever. Tianzhu is already so old, we can't let him stay here forever. Come with us to Ancheng to live. It's better than here in every way!"
"This..." Liu Mei didn't expect Yu Wenting to say this, and she couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
Of course, she knew that life in Ancheng was much better than here, but their ancestors had lived here for generations. How would she make a living in Ancheng? Would she and her mother be a burden to them?
Yun Li saw the confusion in Liu Mei's eyes and said, "Aunt, why don't you ask Tianzhu what he thinks? Let's see if Tianzhu wants to go to school. He's already ten years old, not a kid anymore!"
Liu Mei nodded, and Yun Li brought in the Tianzhu in the yard.
She asked softly, "Tianzhu, are you willing to go to Ancheng with us? I'll take you to school, okay?"
Hearing about going to school, Tianzhu's eyes were full of desire for knowledge. "Can I go to school?"
"Of course! I'll take you to school!"
Tianzhu's face was instantly happy, but when he saw his mother on the bed, his eyes dimmed again. "I... wherever mother is, I'll be there! I have to take care of her! Otherwise, if I leave, mother will be alone, and they will bully her!"
Yun Li touched Tian Zhu's head and said, "Tian Zhu, you and your mother should go to Ancheng together. I won't leave your mother here alone!"
Hearing this, Tianzhu's eyes lit up, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he walked to the bed, took Liu Mei's hand and said:
"Mom, do you want to go to Ancheng?"
"Zhu Zi, you want to go, right?"
Tianzhu nodded
Liu Mei smiled and said, "If you want to go, let's go!"
"Okay, Mom, let's take Dad with us!"
Liu Mei looked at Yun Li and Yu Wen Ting uncomfortably, then nodded towards Tian Zhu!
Tianzhu still doesn't know the relationship between Yunli, Yuwen Ting and Yuchen, whom he calls his father.
Liu Mei was already thinking about what kind of work she would find to support herself and Tianzhu if she went to Ancheng. Would she do needlework? Or would she become a cook or handyman in a rich family?
They cannot take it for granted that they will be taken care of by others all their lives. At any time, they have to rely on their own ability to make a living so as not to starve!
