Chapter 216 Go and exchange Rou'er
Zhou looked at her mother helplessly: "That's not what I meant!"
Su Si took a deep breath: "Xiao Ye, Mom knows that I have neglected you all these years!"
But Mom and Dad have their reasons!
My parents were sent to the countryside; it was such a difficult time for them!
Your younger brother and sister were born during the most difficult times, unlike you. You've always lived a life of luxury; you've never experienced hardship!
Yes, you suffered some hardships with your uncle, but it can't compare to what your younger siblings endured!
"Of course, Mom is also grateful to you for rescuing us!"
"But I am your mother, and you said yourself that you are not old and can't see things clearly!"
Xiao Ye, listen to Mommy, okay?
"Mom... I'll bring Chaoyang to live with me, it won't bother you!"
This is Zhou Ye's final step backward!
Unexpectedly, Mom got even angrier...
"Xiao Ye, how can you possibly understand what I'm saying? Huh? I'm your mother! Everything I've done is for you!"
That sunrise has nothing to do with you!
You've already done more than enough by feeding him!
There are countless unfortunate people in this world; can you help everyone?
"Listen to me, send Chaoyang away!"
Zhou understood...
The mother wasn't angry that she wanted to keep Chaoyang, but that she was no longer the daughter who always listened to her.
She had her own idea...
Zhou didn't want to argue with her mother anymore. They were back, and she had achieved her goal of living a second life!
Isn't this great?
Now, they have their own families and lives!
It's good that you quit on your own!
Isn't that right?
"My younger brother still needs to be taken care of, I'm going back now!"
Zhou Ye got up to leave!
Su Siyou pulled Zhou Ye back: "Child, listen to your mother, okay?"
Zhou Ye ripped open her clothes, turned around, and left!
Zhou Yuanqiao came out of the ward and persuaded, "Siyou, Xiaoye also put in a lot of effort to save us this time!"
Don't treat Xiaoye like this...
"You also think I'm wrong?"
Su Si looked at her husband with almost obsessive eyes.
Zhou Yuanqiao: "You did nothing wrong, just your method was wrong! Xiao Ye hasn't seen us for years. Back then, Xiao Ye was our precious baby!"
Have you forgotten?
Now that we have Rou'er and Bao Bao, when something happens, isn't Xiao Ye the first thing we think of?
Why do you distrust Xiaoye so much now? It seems like everything Xiaoye does is wrong to you?
Su Si fell silent.
"I'm not saying she's wrong, she's just being disobedient!"
"Is it wrong to disobey?" Zhou Yuanqiao asked.
“When we were arrested and handed the children over to Xiao Ye, we were so convinced that Rou’er and Bao Bao were Xiao Ye’s younger brother and sister.”
I believed it so much...
Why don't you believe Xiaoye's choice now?
"That Chaoyang is an adult, but he's seriously out of his mind. What if he hurts his family?"
Su Si said with concern.
"Besides, we can't stay here forever; we'll definitely find a way back to Beijing!"
"Siyou, isn't it better for us to stay here and wait until things get better before we talk about going back?"
Su Si sighed: "Was I really that bad just now?"
"Yes, think about it, when have you ever spoken to Xiao Ye like that before?"
Zhou Yuanqiao said affirmatively.
"Okay, I was too hasty! I'll be more careful next time!"
After saying that, she went inside to take care of the baby!
Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe remained silent on their way back.
"Xie Jianshe, why is everything different from what I imagined?"
Xie Jianshe remained silent, but held Zhou Ye's hand tightly!
Zhou Ye smiled bitterly: "I thought that if I did everything I could to rescue my parents, I would find happiness."
I thought that when my parents came back, I would have a complete family.
This seems to have become an obsession of mine.
But it seems that when they came back, everything was still the same as before.
But it seems different.
They have younger brothers and sisters; they don't need me anymore.
Oh... or rather, they feel that I no longer need them.
Only their younger siblings are their children.
Xie Jianshe didn't know what to say. He wasn't usually good with words, so he could only hold Zhou Ye's hand tightly, giving her one last bit of strength.
The two of them just kept walking...
I slowly walked back to my front door...
Chaoyang was standing at the door, watching expectantly.
When she saw Zhou Ye, a hint of guilt and sadness flashed in her eyes!
Zhou also asked, "Why are you sitting at the door? What's wrong?"
Chaoyang lowered her head and said, "It wasn't on purpose... I didn't mean to let my little brother play in the water... Waaah... I'm sick!"
It's my fault... Waaah..."
Chaoyang's tone was filled with fear and apprehension.
He felt that he was the reason the baby was sick.
Zhou patted his head and said, "Don't worry, baby is fine now. Go back to sleep."
Chaoyang clutched a water bottle tightly in his hand. This water bottle was a gift from Zhou Ye, and now it seemed to have become a medium for giving him strength!
He always carried it with him.
"Where's Grandpa?" Zhou also asked.
Chaoyang pointed towards the bedroom: "He said Grandpa is reading in the room."
Zhou nodded and went inside to tell his grandfather, "Grandpa, the baby is fine now, you should rest!"
It's getting late!
Unexpectedly, Grandpa called out to me.
"Xiao Ye, come and talk to Grandpa."
Zhou also sat by his grandfather's bedside, and his grandfather put down his book.
With a big smile, he looked at Zhou Ye and said, "Grandpa doesn't know how you managed to rescue Mom and Dad!"
But Grandpa knew it must be very hard.
As for what happened in between, I won't ask; that's your secret.
But Xiao Ye, what Grandpa is telling you is that people change!
The deepest desire in my heart is for my family to be reunited.
But during this long period of time, your parents had other children.
They won't pamper you only like they used to.
Perhaps the years have already worn away almost all of your family ties.
Grandpa was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.
So what Grandpa wants to tell you is to be the best version of yourself.
As long as you're happy, anything goes; don't worry about other things or people.
Promise Grandpa you'll take good care of yourself, okay?
You yourself are the most important!
Zhou Ye quietly asked, "Does that include Mom and Dad too?"
Grandpa Zhou sighed, patted Zhou Ye's head, and said, "Child, live your life well."
Zhou Ye had tears in her eyes; she didn't know why her life had turned out this way.
Why is it so different from what I imagined?
She was very sad.
In my heart, my parents are my pillars of support.
But this pillar collapsed with a crash.
She didn't know what to do next.
Love? Between her and Xie Jianshe? No, she felt she didn't have any.
She nodded, then walked out blankly and went home with Xie Jianshe!
She didn't know which way to go from here...
After receiving the blueprints, Su Yunzhou combined them with the previous blueprints and began the experiment!
However, the final results of the experiment were unsatisfactory...
He suddenly realized that Zhou was also lying to him. The complex, almost realistic blueprints he had been given might actually be fake.
So one day Rou'er disappeared.
Zhou was at work that day.
Suddenly, Zhou Ye's father burst into his office with a letter in his hand, startling Zhou Ye.
No matter the situation, her father was always reliable and steady. Seeing her father so flustered, Zhou quickly stood up.
"What's wrong with Dad?"
With trembling hands, Zhou's father handed the letter to Zhou Ye!
Taking the letter from his father, a sharp glint flashed in Zhou Yede's eyes...
This is...? The signature is Su Yunzhou!
So Rou'er was the one who took her away?
The notice stated that if Rou'er were to be safe, Zhou Ye would have to be exchanged for her.
So why did Dad come looking for me without hesitation?
Zhou Ye suddenly felt a sharp pang of disappointment.
She didn't know how her parents made their decision, or what their considerations were.
But the fact that the letter was handed to me immediately, doesn't that prove something?
The two hurried back, only to hear their mother and grandfather arguing at the door...
"Rou'er and Xiao Ye are both your daughters. You know that Su Yunzhou has bad intentions towards Xiao Ye, yet you still let Xiao Ye replace Rou'er."
What are you thinking as a mother?
Isn't Xiao also your daughter?
ah?
Do you think you're being fair to Xiao Ye?
You yourself were saved by Xiao Ye!
Su Si cried and said, "Dad, but Rou'er is only four years old. She's so young. How could Su Yunzhou possibly take good care of her?"
What should I do if something happens to her? Huh?
Dad, Rou'er is your granddaughter too!
Moreover, as you said, Su Yunzhou also has feelings for Xiao, so he definitely won't hurt her, but Rou'er is different!
They're all my own children, how could I not love them!
Grandpa Zhou pointed angrily at Su Siyou: "You and your husband...you and your husband actually dared to? Ha..."
You guys are really going too far!
Why?
Just because I haven't been by your side these past few years.
Have you forgotten that Xiao Ye was once your most beloved daughter? Although Xiao Ye is a few years older than Rou'er, she is still a child!
"Sending her to Su Yunzhou is like throwing a lamb to the slaughter."
"No, Dad, really no, Xiao Neng can rescue us, there must be a way!"
Our top priority is to rescue Rou'er!
Please help me persuade Xiao Ye!
Grandpa Zhou snorted: "I won't try to persuade her. She's my granddaughter too! Even if I can't help her, I won't push her into a fire pit!"
Su Siyou completely broke down: "Dad, please, I'm begging you! Xiao is your granddaughter too, you should love her!"
But Rou'er is the same!
Are you really just going to watch Rou'er die?
ah?
Dad... I'm begging you!
Zhou's father stood outside the door, looking at Zhou Ye with remorse: "Xiao Ye..."
"Go in!"
She didn't want to hear anything else!
The moment she entered, Su Siyou pounced on her!
She held Zhou Ye's hand tightly: "Xiao Ye, please help your mother. You are the most sensible child, aren't you?"
You love your younger siblings very much, don't you?
"Your sister is in danger now, you'll definitely help her, right?"
What do you want me to do?
Zhou Ye asked casually.
Su Si said with surprise, "Xiao Ye, Su Yunzhou wants you. I know he likes you!"
Yeah?
Then go find him, he'll definitely listen to you, and your sister will be released!
"And what about me?"
"What?"
Su Si asked with doubt.
"What about my safety? If Su Yunzhou captures me, will you come to my rescue? Or are you saying you have no other choice?"
Is there nothing we can do but leave it to fate?
Su Si said with tears in her eyes, "Mom and Dad will definitely come to save you! But right now, the most important thing is to save my sister!"
You're so old now! You'll definitely be able to solve problems on your own!
But my sister doesn't understand anything, she can't do it!
You're the older sister, can you help her?
Zhou also smiled wryly... and looked at his grandfather...
Grandpa smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Ye, just be yourself! You're just a child, not a savior!"
Did you know?
You can't save everyone!
Su Si looked at Grandpa Zhou with resentment: "Dad, why did you do this?"
"Rou'er is also your granddaughter! Can't you say something nice? Huh? How could you... how could you be so mean?"
"I'm being unreasonable? I'm being unreasonable? Su Si, do you have any conscience? Huh? If Xiao Ye hadn't saved you, would you have had the chance to say such things?"
What is this...?
"What a disgrace to be a mother!"
That's a serious statement!
Su Si's face turned pale for a moment.
Zhou Ye finally said softly, "Okay, I'll go!"
Grandpa Zhou grabbed Zhou Ye in shock: "No, Xiao Ye...no!"
Zhou Ye said calmly, "Mom, if I say that after I go there today and rescue Rou'er, we will have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
What would you choose...?
Seeing that his mother hadn't said anything for a while, Zhou smiled!
Time really can erase everything!
Including family ties!
As Xiao Ye reached the door, Su Si suddenly called out, "Xiao Ye..."
"Oh, Mom!"
Zhou Ye turned around and looked at Su Siyou with a smile!
That's wonderful, Mom is still alive!
As long as you're alive, that's enough!
Su Si suddenly burst into tears!
"Don't blame Mommy, okay? Don't blame Mommy! Waaah... Mommy had no choice!"
Waaah... How can Mom choose?!
Zhou didn't say anything, but simply walked out!
Grandpa Zhou staggered as he tried to catch up...
Zhou Ye shouted directly, "Chaoyang, stop Grandpa! Take good care of Grandpa, and when I get back, I'll buy you something delicious!"
Chaoyang obediently grabbed Grandpa Zhou.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine!"
Grandpa Zhou was on the verge of tears!
Zhou Ye arrived at the entrance of an abandoned factory, the place Su Yunzhou had mentioned!
With a creak, the door opened!
Zhou Ye walked straight in!
In a fairly clean room, Su Da was feeding Rou'er water!
A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face when she saw Zhou Ye…
"Comrade Zhou...!"
"Yes, thank you for taking care of Rou'er..."
Su nodded, not daring to say anything more.
Su Yunzhou smiled wryly: "Now you don't even want to talk to me anymore?"
"So now you've stooped so low as to bully children?"
Zhou Ye also asked.
Su Yunzhou coaxed gently, "Xiao Ye, give me that blueprint, okay? I know you have it!"
Give me!
I'll let your sister go!
"Don't you know that I have no feelings for this younger sister? Do you think I would give you blueprints for her sake?"
"Don't you? You're here now, aren't you?"
While negotiations were underway, Grandpa Zhou was in a state of utter chaos!
"Su Siyou, you'll regret this! You two are really... I shouldn't have gone to save you!"
You should all die there!
Grandpa Zhou's words were sharp and heartbreaking!
His granddaughter, such a lively and adorable little girl!
Grandpa Zhou was heartbroken. Pointing at the couple, he said, "You will definitely regret this. You will definitely regret losing such a well-behaved daughter like Xiao Ye."
What happened today has broken Xiaoye's heart.
I'm waiting for your retribution!
Grandpa Zhou sighed deeply and went back inside!
Chaoyang followed closely behind and went back...
The two women in the courtyard witnessed everything. They were filled with fear and unease, wondering if they were about to lose such a good employer.
Hiding in the kitchen, the two were talking about something.
In the courtyard, Su Siyou held her baby and murmured, "Was I really wrong?" She looked at her husband and said with difficulty, "But Rou'er is also my daughter."
She and her baby were there for me through the toughest times; they are special to me.
Xiao Ye is also my daughter, but when we left, we entrusted her to my uncle. Even though she suffered a lot of grievances, she still lived a life of luxury.
But my Rou'er is different from my baby.
They've been locked up with us since birth, deprived of even basic freedom! Aren't they the most miserable?
Why should the younger one still fight?
Now that Xiaoyao has younger siblings, shouldn't she love them just as much as we do?
ah?
Was I wrong?
Zhou Yuanqiao remained silent...
Because he wasn't innocent either...
It was his incompetence as a father that allowed him to witness all of this!
Deep down, I've chosen Rou'er and Bao Bao!
It wasn't that he didn't love Zhou Ye, but... he felt that Zhou Ye was capable of saving him!
After so many years, this daughter has made him look at her in a completely new light!
Su Siyou seemed to be caught in a wave of guilt: "Why aren't you saying anything? Huh? You're treating me like a bad guy!"
And you?
As a father, don't you feel guilty?
That's your daughter too!
"Yes, you're right!"
"That's what Mr. Zhou said helplessly."
When Xie Jianshe heard the news, he rushed there!
He was scared!
Su Yunzhou is like a persistent ghost!
Zhou didn't know the significance of hiding the blueprints, but she just knew that she couldn't give them away!
The Su family didn't know what to do.
But no matter what he does, he pretends he knows nothing at all.
"Su Yunzhou, believe it or not, what I'm giving you is what I have. I really don't have anything else!"
"But it's fake!"
"How would I know? I've only opened that box once since I got it, how would I know?"
I have no idea if it's true or not!
Zhou Ye lied without the slightest hesitation!
Yes, she forged the fake blueprints!
Part of it is real, and part of it is her drawing!
But it's so realistic it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing!
"Xiao Ye, do you really think I won't do anything to you?"
"what you up to?"
Xie Jianshe's voice came from outside the door!
He walked in with a grim expression, looking at Su Yunzhou: "What do you want to do? She's my wife. With me here, what can you do?"
Su Yunzhou paused!
Xie Jianshe is really difficult to deal with!
However... it's not impossible!
But……
Suddenly, Su Da, who was outside the door, came in and whispered a few words to Su Yunzhou!
"Sir, the Su family is in crisis!"
Su Yunzhou looked at Xie Jianshe and asked incredulously, "You did this?"
Xie Jianshe remained silent in the face of the situation...
"I'm taking her away. You're not allowed to bother Zhou Ye or her family again, or else... you know the consequences for the Su family!"
"you……"
Zhou had no idea what Xie Jianshe had done...
However, Xie Jianshe really did bring both himself and Rou'er out with him!
Rou'er was carried out by Xie Jianshe.
"Sister, is this your brother-in-law?"
Xie Jianshe said with a smile, "Rou'er, I'm your brother-in-law!"
Rou'er clapped her hands and said happily, "My sister and brother-in-law are so amazing! They came to save me! My parents didn't come yet!"
I like my older sister!
I also like my brother-in-law...
whee……"
Zhou Ye's expression wasn't good, but he didn't say anything to any of the children.
Su Siyou was feeling guilty in the yard after bringing Rou'er home... When she saw Rou'er, she almost jumped up.
After a hearty laugh, Rou'er exclaimed, "My child, my child, you're finally back! Are you feeling alright anywhere?"
Did they do anything to you?
My child, sob sob...
That scared Mom to death!
"Waaah..."
Rou'er said proudly, "Mom, don't be afraid, my sister went to save me! She's so amazing! Hehe..."
Su Si then looked at Zhou Ye!
There was pity and guilt in his eyes!
"Xiaoye...Mom..."
"I'm going in to see Grandpa..."
Grandpa Zhou was asleep at this moment, but it seemed he was having a nightmare!
Chaoyang heard the noise in the courtyard and tried to wake his grandfather, but to no avail. Just as he was getting anxious, Zhou came in!
"Grandpa...Grandpa won't wake up!"
"Don't be afraid, let me see..."
After taking his pulse, Zhou realized that Grandpa was too heartbroken and was fast asleep. Zhou then gave Grandpa a few acupuncture needles...
Grandpa slowly woke up.
"Xiaoye..."
He shouted in a hoarse voice...
"I'm here, Grandpa, I'm here, don't be afraid!"
Grandpa Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief!
"Good...it's good that you're back...Grandpa couldn't protect you, I'm sorry! Grandpa is so sorry...Waaah..."
Seeing Grandpa's helpless look...
Zhou Ye's tears also fell!
"It's alright, Xie Jianshe can protect me. You know that. You chose this person, Grandpa. You made the right choice!"
"well……"
Grandpa Zhou burst into tears!
He was helpless...
After calming his grandfather down, Zhou also came out and told his two sisters-in-law to take good care of the family, while he went home with Xie Jianshe.
Chaoyang was reluctant to leave...
But he knew he had a mission: to protect his grandfather and prevent others from bullying him!
Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Ye, but Zhou Ye didn't even glance at him before turning and leaving!
"Xiaoye..."
No one answered!
Looking at Zhou Ye's retreating figure, Su Siyou said guiltily, "Is Xiao Ye blaming me? Look, Xiao Ye is capable, didn't he come back safely?"
"We were selfish! What if Xiao Ye doesn't come back? Have we thought about that? Maybe we have subconsciously thought about it!"
but……
Xiao Ye is also our daughter!
No one paid any attention to the two remorseful people in the yard. The wrong thing had already been done, so what good was remorse?
Rou'er had no idea what had happened...
He just stared blankly.
They felt they had lost something... but it was too late!
