My old-fashioned thinking still leads me to believe that doing business is not a good thing.
If things hadn't come to this point, she probably wouldn't have let Ye Beiping do business under any circumstances.
After all, she didn't understand before. Last year, she watched it for several months and it terrified Tao Qiuyan so much that she couldn't sleep for several nights.
What used to be a 30-minute journey by donkey cart, Ye Beiping drove slowly and arrived in just over ten minutes.
Once you get out of the mountain road, it's not so difficult to drive.
It was just past seven o'clock.
Ye Beiping bought a train ticket for the 7:45 train.
"Mom, it's still early. Why don't you go sit in the car for a while? It's so cold here."
The waiting room at the station was deserted and empty; apart from providing shelter from the wind and rain, it was completely drafty.
The wind made the hairs on his body stand on end.
"Alright then." Tao Qiuyan also sensed that there were some people here.
Once in the car, the two remained silent for a moment.
Finally, Ye Beiping spoke first, asking, "Mom, when did you find out I was going to send you to Hangzhou?"
Tao Qiuyan scoffed coldly upon hearing this.
"You're not just sending me to Hangzhou, are you? You also want me to go to your maternal grandfather's house."
hiss!
Ye Beiping gasped and looked at his mother in surprise.
It seems that Tao Qiuyan heard everything that was said last night.
But this is for the best, it makes things clear: "Mom, Ye Sheng is definitely not joking this time, we should still be careful."
"Oh?" Tao Qiuyan became interested and suddenly turned to look at Ye Beiping, asking, "How do you know you're not joking?"
With his lips pursed, Ye Beiping took two deep breaths before speaking:
"Mom, think about it. Before, Ye Sheng still had a wife and children. Now his wife and son have run away, and he even knows that his son isn't his biological child. Would an ordinary person lie after such a shock?"
"Moreover, all the money he worked so hard to earn in a year has disappeared, and now he can't even afford to eat. If it weren't for this, would he have been able to marry Ye Xiaohui off? That's not marriage, that's selling her."
"Anyway, Mom, I'm telling you, Ye Sheng might really have gone crazy this time."
Listening to Ye Beiping's analysis, Tao Qiuyan frowned more and more, feeling that it made a lot of sense.
She really hadn't thought about this before.
It's simply because I've heard these kinds of threatening words far too often.
What do you mean, I'll kill your whole family?
What do you mean, your son will die a horrible death?
What, your daughter...
Thinking about all this, Tao Qiuyan's eyes reddened slightly. Since her husband left, she had suffered far too many grievances.
She worked hard to raise her two children, not only because her younger brother's wedding was delayed, but also because she suffered countless grievances and hurtful words.
You can't talk back, otherwise you'll anger the other party and won't be able to find anyone to help you.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Ye Beiping, who had grown up and was about to become a father, and finally felt some comfort in her heart.
“Beiping… No matter what the villagers say about us, don’t get angry. If your second uncle really goes crazy, don’t take it to heart either; we’re all just unfortunate people.”
Hearing Tao Qiuyan suddenly say these things, Ye Beiping frowned.
Turning around, I saw that my mother's eyes were red, and I wondered what she had thought of that made her so sad.
"mom......"
"Just listen, don't say anything more." Tao Qiuyan stopped Ye Beiping from speaking, took a deep breath and sighed softly, "You and your sister will grow up and things will be fine. Those things from the past are in the past, don't take them to heart."
“You have your own lives to live. Don’t think too much about the older generation. Think more about Xinyi and your children. From now on, you will live your own lives, not for others.”
"You bunch of troublemakers in the village may seem glamorous now, but things aren't as simple as you think. Don't assume everyone is poor, and don't underestimate anyone from the countryside, understand?"
Suddenly, Ye Beiping had a feeling that Tao Qiuyan was hinting at something.
But this feeling is very vague.
Never underestimate anyone from the countryside.
Which aspect are you referring to?
Forty minutes passed quickly, and the train pulled into the station.
The town they lived in was a small station, and it didn't have the huge waiting rooms like in their previous life. The train station here was mostly just a few bungalows and a platform.
There was only one person in charge of selling tickets and handling train arrivals and departures.
After seeing Tao Qiuyan off on the train, Ye Beiping breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing the empty carriage.
It's good that there aren't too many people; thieves won't be out working during the Lunar New Year.
Tao Qiuyan chose a seat by the window, opened the window, and waved to Ye Beiping: "Go back."
"Um."
Thinking of something, Ye Beiping said, "Mom, when you get to Hangzhou, remember to take a taxi home directly, don't take the bus yourself."
He was genuinely worried that Tao Qiuyan might lose her seat on the bus in an attempt to save money.
As he spoke, he leaned closer and whispered, "Mom, I slipped two hundred yuan into the bottom of the bag with the candy, just in case."
Upon hearing this, Tao Qiuyan's eyes suddenly widened, and she wanted to search for it, but then she stopped herself.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the train is about to leave."
A middle-aged man sternly urged Ye Beiping to leave.
Ye Beiping did the same, taking two steps back and watching the train rumble away from sight.
I used to hear people say that you see things before you hear sounds because your eyes are in front of your ears.
But today it was confirmed that although the train was no longer visible, he could hear its whistle very clearly.
He shook his head, chuckled, restarted his car, and left the train station.
