Chapter 175 Finding Zhou Ye's Trail
Su Yunzhou looked at Zhou Ye with a puzzled expression.
Zhou also looked at him with a mocking smile, and even at her.
"Who told me? Don't you know yourself? Do you need to ask? Su Yunzhou, how could I not know? You're really that despicable?"
Su Yunzhou's face turned deathly pale.
Su Yun's expression wasn't much better.
turn out to be……
Miss Zhou Ye has always known this!
Zhou Ye looked at Su Yunzhou: "You let me know about your childhood, you let me know how pitiful you are, but what can you do about it?"
Su Yunzhou, tear open your scars and put them in someone else's hands.
It won't make the other party more docile; instead, it will hand them leverage over their weaknesses.
Do you understand?
No one can truly understand your pain!
Su Yunzhou's face turned grim. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted you to stay!"
"What good will it do to stay? I'm not your mother, I won't be burdened by anyone! Look, isn't this the weapon I use to attack you?"
Su Yunzhou, why are you doing this to yourself?
Zhou wasn't entirely without sympathy for Su Yunzhou; rather, he couldn't sympathize with him!
"You may all leave!"
Everyone left, and Su Yunzhou looked at Zhou Ye earnestly: "Can you talk to me for a bit?"
Zhou Ye: ...
"Okay!" In the end, she softened her heart!
The two sat on a chair in the garden, and neither of them spoke for a long time.
"call……"
"When I was little, I always thought I was a very annoying person. At that time, I thought that when other children ran to their mothers, their mothers would give them cakes and smile gently."
Why did I get angry and berated when I went there?
"Later I found out it was because of my dad! I look a lot like my dad!"
Therefore, my mother disliked my eyes, my face, and even the way I walked.
I asked my mom, "Mom, why do you hate me so much? What did I do wrong?"
My mother said, "It's a mistake for you to be alive!"
"Oh……"
Su Yunzhou sneered!
Zhou also looked at his profile!
His face was filled with helplessness, sorrow, and grief...
“I never understood my mother, and I resented her, but I still wanted to see her! Once, when she saw me, she didn’t show any disgust.”
I was so happy that day!
I smiled broadly; I felt that my mother still loved me!
"I walked up to my mother, and she smiled gently. She called me Xiaozhou. With that one word, Xiaozhou, I felt that even if I died, I would be willing to do it!"
Even if my mom beats me, I'll still be happy today!
Mom asked, "Would you like to come with me to see the lotus flowers?"
I'd love to! Of course I'd love to!
I'd be willing to die for it!
But……
hehe……
My mother really wants me dead!
"I was immersed in happiness. I felt like the happiest child in the world. But suddenly, a pair of hands pushed me into the water. Really, those hands were so warm!"
I don't want to resist those hands!
That was the first time in my memory that my mother willingly approached me!
I love her so much!
But I felt so bad, I couldn't breathe! I stubbornly raised my head, wanting to breathe, and looked into my mother's eyes.
I want to ask you, don't you love me?
Why? "
"My mother seems to really dislike my eyes; she covered my eyes so I couldn't see her."
"How can this be?"
"I want to shout, I want to say, Mom, please don't cover my eyes. Even if I drown in the pond, I want to look into your eyes!"
I love my mom!
"Later, when I ran out of strength, my mother seemed to hesitate for a while. She looked at me for a long time, but still held me down!"
Finally, Dad arrived!
He picked me up and wouldn't let me near my mother! He said my mother would hurt me!
"But how could Mom hurt me? She just felt I shouldn't be alive. My existence hurt Mom, so..."
How can I deserve to live?
Since Mom doesn't love me, then... I won't love myself either!
"I watched as my father forcefully carried my mother back into the house, and I heard his furious shouts."
But I couldn't hear my mother's voice at all!
What's wrong with Mom?
Is Mom scared?
Will Dad bully Mom?
"I want to tell everyone that I did it voluntarily! I only resisted because I was in so much pain! But no one believes me!"
"Grandpa warned Dad that he must punish Mom and lock her up! But that won't do."
"Am I going to cause Mom more suffering?"
"I don't know how long my mother was imprisoned!"
All I know is that I'm so sad!
"Later, on my birthday, my mom made me a bowl of noodles. The noodles smelled so good! I couldn't stop drooling just from the aroma!"
That must be the best noodles I've ever eaten in my life!
But I dare not eat it!
"I'm afraid if I eat it, my dad will get angry again! Do you know why?"
Su Yunzhou looked at Zhou Ye!
He smiled; this was Su Yunzhou, whom Zhou had never seen before!
Zhou shook his head: "Why?"
"Because I knew I was going to die, Mom put poison in the noodles when she made them! I saw it! Hehe...it was for the rats to eat!"
My mother must have been afraid I would suffer too much to die, so she gave me the strongest medicine! I saw it!
Looking at that bowl of noodles, I looked at my mother with concern!
How would Dad punish Mom?
But this is the first time my mom has cooked for me, so I have to eat!
You absolutely have to eat it!
So, I ate it without hesitation! Ouch...it really hurts...it's the first time I've ever felt such pain!
My mother saw that I was in pain and she cried!
She must be worried about me! Right?
"Then Dad came! He slapped Mom hard across the face. I was furious and wanted to bite him, but I didn't have the strength!"
My vision is blurred from the pain!
From then on, Dad wouldn't let me see Mom!
"But how could I listen? I always tried to find a way to see my mother, but my body just wouldn't take care of me!"
They won't be able to hold on much longer!
My dad sent me away! I hate him. Why did he send me away? I'm my mom's!
"Later, my father brought home a new woman. He showed her to me and said she was my new mother!"
The first time I threw a huge tantrum, I demanded my own mother!
That time, my father got angry too. He said I had a mother who only wanted her own son dead.
That woman was very gentle, but I knew it was all fake!
Only my mom loves me the most!
Then, one day, suddenly, my mother died! She just died like that! I don't know how she died!
Maybe my father killed her!
Perhaps he was killed by that woman!
How could she die? I, whom she despised, am not dead yet!
"Therefore, I hate everyone equally! Every member of the Su family in Beijing is my enemy!"
I'm going to bring them all down!
Oh……
They don't know that I started planning when I was very young: I wanted to rescue my mother!
Xiao Ye, do you know? We were just one step away!
I'm just one step away from rescuing my mother!
But after I had prepared everything, she didn't want me anymore! Why couldn't she have waited for me?
Zhou remained silent on the side.
Listening to Su Yunzhou recount his past and his suffering!
Su Yunzhou seemed to have finished speaking, perhaps because he saw that Zhou was not responding.
He looked at Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye turned his head away. His eyes were slightly moist, and his eyelashes were covered with tiny, crystal-clear teardrops. He looked like an innocent little dog, which made people feel sorry for him.
Zhou Ye smiled slightly and said, "Su Yunzhou, you are really amazing! You may have grown into someone your mother could never have imagined!"
Your story is also very touching!
I almost cried!
I gently wiped away a tear that had accidentally fallen from my cheek.
Her beautiful lips uttered cold words: "But do you think that by repeatedly tearing open your scars for me to see, I will feel sorry for you?"
Su Yunzhou stared intently at Zhou Ye.
It seems to be saying, "Don't you feel sorry for me?"
Zhou Ye chuckled.
She stood up and rubbed her wrists: "Su Yunzhou, I'm the most heartless person ever! I can accept you being good to me, but if you want me to be good to you in return, then I'm sorry!"
I don't have that ability!
You kidnapped me this time, which really ruined my plans.
Therefore, I will never forgive you!
Su Yunzhou: "Are you talking about finding your parents?"
"You know?" Zhou Ye turned around instantly.
Their eyes became even more wary!
"How did you know? Were you following me?"
Zhou Ye's eyes also turned hostile!
Su Yunzhou smiled faintly: "Xiao Ye, I will handle your affairs! I will help you find the person you are looking for!"
Your mother...
There will be a chance to see you!
"you……"
Zhou suddenly had a feeling: "Have you been in contact all along? Or did you find us?"
Su Yunzhou smiled faintly and remained silent, saying pitifully, "Xiao Ye, can you lend me a hand? I want you to stay with me."
This is a threat!
Zhou Ye suddenly turned around and went back upstairs!
As Zhou Ye's figure disappeared, the pitiful smile on Su Yunzhou's lips slowly vanished.
"Heh... Xiao Ye, how could you be so heartless? Don't you pity me at all? My background is so tragic, I was so pitiful when I was a child!"
Don't you feel any pity?"
"Ha... I'm such a failure! I don't have a single friend, and I don't have a single lover! Su Yunzhou, nobody likes you!"
He lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Zhou Ye went back upstairs, clutching his aching heart. No sympathy, no sadness? How could that be?
She was certain that everything Su Yunzhou said was true. What saddened her even more was that Su Yunzhou truly didn't love her. He was capable of ruthlessly tearing away his own wounds in order to gain the approval of others.
Time and time again!
Doesn't he feel pain? Perhaps he's just gotten used to pain!
Habit? How terrified a child so young would be to be hurt by his own mother! So, that's what made him who he is today?
When a mother doesn't love her child, the child doesn't even love himself anymore!
He felt he was unworthy and didn't deserve it!
Zhou lay down and pulled the covers over his head to calm himself down.
Su Yunzhou is pitiful, but am I not pitiful? In my previous life, I was trapped in darkness, and it took me many years to earn this rebirth.
Even family members can't reunite. The mother is a mystery, and the father hasn't been found yet. Who isn't pitiful? There are many pitiful people in this world!
But isn't it inhumane to use your pitifulness to cover up your own sins?
You pity your mother's plight, yet you want to inflict the same fate on me.
Xie Jianshe arrived in Beijing and settled in with his comrade-in-arms. He then began searching for the Su family's address. The Su family's address was easy to find, and Su Yunzhou didn't care whether he could find it or not.
Xie Jianshe walked to the entrance of the Su family's house, looking at the magnificent building inside, his expression remained completely calm!
There were many guards at the entrance...
The security was extremely tight; getting in was as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Su Yunzhou had already arranged everything!
But if something happens, it will definitely get out!
Just then, two women appeared at the door, carrying baskets for buying groceries.
This is an opportunity!
Xie Jianshe followed the woman and had his men prepare some fresh fish and other ingredients that Zhou Ye liked to eat.
"We have fresh meat, would you like some?"
Xie Jianshe disguised himself as a speculator. Although the market in Beijing was well-established and the supply and marketing cooperatives had plenty of goods, he still needed to buy the ingredients he ate regularly.
The woman glanced at it and was about to leave when she happened to see the fish tail.
What's going on here?
Xie Jianshe smiled and said, "Big sister, this is fresh fish, it's very nutritious, do you need some?"
Especially when there is a new mother in the family, or when there are important guests.
It's also the best way to entertain guests.
The woman nodded and said to the woman beside her, "Sister Wang, I think these fish are quite good. Doesn't Miss Zhou like to eat fish?"
I heard he hasn't eaten properly for several days!
The gentleman is very anxious!
"Yes, Miss Zhou is as beautiful as a flower, but she's locked up in her room every day. It breaks my heart to see her like that!"
I heard that they can only eat a little bit each time they eat.
The man felt sorry for her, but he didn't know what to say.
He even specifically instructed that several of Miss Zhou's favorite dishes be prepared, as well as fish! Fresh fish is hard to come by.
What a wonderful day! Hehe..."
"Young man, I'll take all of these fish!"
Xie Jianshe smiled faintly: "May I ask where this guest is from?"
The two women immediately looked at him warily.
Xie Jianshe explained, "That's right. There are many ways to cook fish. I just heard you say that the guests like to eat fish."
If you're from the South, you'll appreciate the freshness of fish. You can steam it, braise it, or make soup with it!
If you're from the North, you'll do it differently!
That's why I asked!
The woman buying groceries chuckled and said, "Oh, I see. We northerners like to braise or stew fish!"
I'm especially good at making braised jujubes with soybean paste; it's so fragrant!
However, I don't know where that guest is from.
What should we do?
Xie Jianshe smiled generously: "It's nothing. My elder sister bought all the fish today. She's my benefactor!"
Today I'm going to tell you all the ways I know how to cook fish in the South!
You can go back and try it with confidence!
"That would be great!"
The two older women were overjoyed!
As they talked, the two of them started chatting!
"Who is that young lady? Our master is so interested in her. It's just... sigh..."
Tsk tsk…
"That's right. They serve us good food and drinks every day, and yet the guests still give our master a bad look."
I've seen it several times; the gentleman is very embarrassed, and even when he gets to the door, he doesn't dare to go in!
"Yes, perhaps they had a fight? Sir is quite ruthless; he must have met someone he likes!"
hehe……"
"Yes, we have to serve her well, she'll be our lady from now on!"
Xie Jianshe clenched his fists, his face looking grim!
But he still followed the two women, saying, "Sisters, this fish and ingredients are a bit heavy. Shall I help you carry them to the door?"
"Oh, really? Is that alright?"
Xie Jianshe took the initiative to carry the groceries and said, "That's my honor. Please continue to support my business in the future."
"Alright, come with us!"
Xie Jianshe had been listening to the two women's conversation all the way, and he had heard enough to know that Zhou Ye was indeed at the Su family's house.
It looks like she's being held captive inside, Xiao Ye...
I'm sorry, I failed to protect you!
Hopefully, this fish will provide you with some information.
Zhou was bored and randomly flipped through a few books.
"Miss Zhou, dinner is ready!"
Butler Lu instructed someone to bring in the food and walked in with a smile.
"Miss Zhou, this is a fish that Hu Kitchen specially prepared today. I'm afraid it may not suit your taste."
I made several flavors.
Would you like to try some?
Zhou Ye looked over, and his expression changed.
Braised fish with green peppers in it?
Spicy fish head soup, two fish heads served separately, what's going on?
Xie Jianshe is here!
She pursed her lips slightly: "Okay, put it down! It looks very appetizing to me, thank you, Butler Lu!"
Butler Lu said with delight, "Okay, okay, I'll put it down!"
For the first time ever, Zhou Ye ate a delicious meal that suited his taste. After finishing, he looked out the door, waiting for his chance!
In Hongqi Village, Zhou Weiren was extremely worried when he learned that Zhou Ye had gone missing!
I always wanted to go to Beijing to look for it in person.
"Grandpa, you should rest. Zhou Ye will definitely be alright. As for Jianshe, we've already gone to find him!"
Don't worry, you have to trust our ability to build!"
"Yes, his comrades are all over the world, what use would you be if you went?"
The Su family is no ordinary family!
Looking at his injured leg, Zhou Weiren sighed, "In the end, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Xiao Ye wouldn't have come to this place."
Why bother getting to know Su Yunzhou!
Do you think the construction plan is correct?
Perhaps it wasn't Su Yunzhou who took it?
"No, we've found the missing educated youth. It was indeed Su Yunzhou who told us!"
"Why……"
Xie Youfu and Wang Guihua settled Zhou Weiren in.
Only then did I feel relieved enough to leave!
In the courtyard, two people sat, sighing and complaining, not wanting to go to work in the fields!
"Did you say Jianshe found Xiaoye?"
Wang Guihua said with a worried expression.
Xie Youfu sighed: "I don't know. Xiao Ye is a child with a hard life. We should have treated her better back then."
Why……
Since they got married, Xiao Ye has been good to us most of the time!
Look at other people's daughters-in-law, and then look at Xiao Ye!
"Yes, other people's wives want to take over everything in their husband's family, but Xiao Ye is different. Even though Yanli is divorced, she is still busy finding a job."
I didn't mind at all!
What a good kid! And Su Yunzhou, why did he have to kidnap someone else's wife?
"Old woman, I have a question for you!"
"you say!"
"Do you think Xiao Ye likes our home construction?" Xie Youfu asked, still a little nervous.
"Of course she'd like it! Why would she marry into our family if she didn't? Our family is considered a good family in the village."
Compared to people in the city, we're nothing.
"I'm afraid that's not it!" Xie Youfu suddenly said!
"Huh? Why would you think that? Don't scare me! This is a lifelong matter. If you don't really like her, why should you marry her?"
A girl's reputation is also very important!
Wang Guihua glared at Xie Youfu.
Xie Youfu shut up!
Xie Meili was making pancakes in the kitchen. Because of Zhou Ye's situation, no one in the family wanted to cook! She couldn't manage; she was hungry…
So I have to do it myself!
After finishing my work, I saw my parents sitting in the yard chatting, and I got angry.
"Mom and Dad, dinner is ready. Can you eat now?"
Xie Youfu felt a little heartbroken: "Forget it, I'm not eating anymore, I can't eat. You and your mother eat!"
Wang Guihua waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want to eat it either. You can eat it yourself!"
Xie Meili said speechlessly, "Your not eating won't change anything. Your sister-in-law will definitely be fine!"
"Su Yunzhou likes my sister-in-law, that's why he took her away. How could he possibly hurt her?"
Xie Meili was immediately relieved after learning that it was Su Yunzhou who took Zhou Ye away!
Wang Guihua glared at her: "What do you know?"
I thought to myself, that's why I'm worried! What kind of family is the Su family? They're rich and powerful. How could an ordinary person resist such temptation?
Besides, feelings can develop over time!
Aside from his poor health, Su Yunzhou has all the advantages!
My home is in Beijing, which is the same place as Xiao. Even if Xiao goes back to the city in the future, the distance won't cause any discord in our relationship.
Su Yunzhou is a cultured man; he is quite proficient in reading and writing, and as young people would say, he shares a common language with them!
In terms of appearance, Jianshe and Su Yunzhou are different; one is resolute and handsome, while the other is gentle and refined.
Obviously, Xiao Ye would probably prefer someone like Su Yunzhou, right?
The only advantage Jianshe currently has is that he and Xiaoye are legally married! But clearly, Su Yunzhou doesn't mind that!
Why……
This is too difficult!
Even if Jianshe went to Beijing and found Xiaoye, I'm afraid it won't end well!
Xiao Ye can choose either one without making a mistake!
Wang Guihua fell into depression.
Xie Meili looked at this and that, then decided that she was still growing and would eat whatever she wanted.
But the rumors in the village became more and more exaggerated...
"Hey, have you guys heard about what's been going on with the village chief's family lately?"
"I know, it's about Zhou and Su, the educated youth."
"What do you know? Let me tell you, I don't think this is a good situation! Maybe it's not a kidnapping, and they've even called the police!"
Although Su, the educated youth, said she lived a secluded life, we still met her!
She looks just like the people on TV, and she's from Beijing. How can the people from our village compare?
Xie Jianshe is indeed better off than most of us, but that doesn't change his background. But I have a feeling something's definitely going on.
Otherwise, why would Zhou Zhiqing suddenly marry Xie Jianshe?
Maybe it's because of a conflict with Su, the educated youth!
"Huh? This is outrageous! City people really know how to have fun!"
"But I don't think Zhou Zhiqing is that kind of person. He usually jokes and laughs with us, and he doesn't seem to look down on us!"
"Hey, you're so naive! She's a rich girl from the city, after all! What could she possibly want from us?"
Tell me what you think?
