\u001ecMeng Guanglei hurriedly chased out, but saw Ye Li hurriedly walking towards the factory gate. He immediately followed him, wanting to go out and find out what was going on.
Ye Li arrived at the factory gate and saw a figure standing there. He was wrapped in a thick gray coat and his head was wrapped tightly with a red scarf, leaving only two eyes looking around.
She came closer and could see clearly who it was.
"Ye Can, what are you doing here?" Seeing that it was his half-sister, Ye Li's face gradually darkened, "What do you want to talk to me about? Just tell me directly, don't beat around the bush and waste each other's time."
Ye Can knew that Ye Li didn't like him.
If it were in the past, she might have had some hatred in her heart, but now, she no longer had any hatred towards Ye Li. Instead, she was filled with respect, because Ye Li was the one who gave her hope when she was in trouble.
Although her words were harsh and her attitude was unfriendly, Ye Can knew that was how they had treated her in the past and she was just retaliating.
"Sister, I'm very grateful to you for my hospitalization this time. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life. You are my lifesaver, and I am very grateful to you!" Ye Can said with emotion.
"Don't do those useless things. I have important things to do today. Let's get down to business." Ye Li was a little impatient.
...
...
She didn't want to hear those useless sweet words, because people's mouths can lie.
What she wanted to see was Ye Can's action.
"Sister... I know you don't like to hear it, and it seems very false for me to say this now. But there are some things I need to make clear to you. I have returned all the surgery and hospitalization fees that Qin Ying paid for me, so you don't have to worry about this."
"Is that little money you have enough?" Ye Li raised his eyebrows.
"The money I have is not enough. This money was given by our mother. However, she asked me to write her an IOU and asked me to pay her back later. I wrote the IOU, but I don't plan to give her the money. Sister, I am leaving this city and this home. I have only told you this decision, and I hope you can keep it a secret for me." Ye Can expressed his thoughts very truthfully.
This time she completely opened her heart to Ye Li without hiding anything.
"Leave this home? How are you going to live alone?" Ye Li finally couldn't help but ask.
"I'll go out to work... I can also learn from others and go to the south to start a small business... I've been hospitalized these few days, and I heard from the people in the ward that the south is more open than here, and there may be more opportunities, so I want to give it a try..."
"You're a woman! Is it so easy to go out these days? What if you get cheated? Have you thought about the consequences?" Ye Li frowned, which was both a question and concern.
"I can't stay in this house anymore? You don't know, mom hasn't taken care of me in the hospital these days. She's been busy introducing me to potential partners every day, wanting me to get married quickly. Do you know who she found for me? A bachelor! A forty-year-old bachelor! Sister, I am a person, not a commodity! I also have my own feelings!" Ye Can said with tears falling from his eyes.
Ye Li was deeply touched by this.
"So you understand how I felt?" she asked.
Ye Can nodded: "I understand! I finally understand why you would rather choose your brother-in-law Jiang Xun than marry the person she found for you."
"Are you sure you want to go this way?"
Ye Can nodded vigorously: "Sure! I am sure! I have survived death, nothing can hold me back. People say that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future, and my good fortune is still to come."
"Well, I won't stop you, and I won't tell anyone where you're going. But I want to remind you of one thing: come back if you can't make it. Never give up on yourself! Men can make a name for themselves, and we women can also make a name for ourselves!"
"Sister, I understand. I will definitely move forward with my own efforts and never live a life where my fate is dictated by others again!"
"Okay, then I have nothing to tell you, and nothing I can give you. What happens next is entirely up to you." Ye Li said.
Ye Can didn't say anything, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket.
She opened the handkerchief carefully, revealing a wad of money inside.
"These are all the money I saved up every day, a total of fifty yuan. I have nothing to thank you for." She took out twenty yuan from the bank and handed it to Ye Li, "This is just a small token of my appreciation. I have to keep more money for myself, as I have to spend a lot of money when I go out."
Ye Li finally revealed a smile, but she didn't take the money. "You also said that it costs a lot of money to go out, and thirty yuan is not enough. I don't want your money, you can take it yourself. As long as you can make a name for yourself and stop causing trouble for me in the future, that's enough."
Ye Can's eyes were moist: "Thank you, sister. Then... I'm leaving. Before I leave, can I have a request? Sister, can we hug each other?"
"You are not big, but you have a lot to do." Ye Li said with disdain, but still stepped forward and hugged her with open arms, "Let's go, I wish you a safe journey and success."
Ye Can choked and said, "I definitely will."
After seeing Ye Can off, Ye Li turned around and let out a deep breath.
This result is a good one for Ye Can, right?
She finally came to her senses and no longer wanted her life to be controlled by her mother and become a stepping stone for her brother. As long as she was willing to work hard, she might be able to have a different life.
The night wind was getting colder and colder, even a bit biting, and there were faint signs of snowflakes falling in the dark sky.
"Who is that girl? Your sister!" A voice suddenly sounded behind Ye Li. She was startled and turned around quickly.
Seeing Meng Guanglei standing behind her, her face suddenly darkened: "Why are you eavesdropping on people's conversations?"
"Eavesdropping? I wasn't eavesdropping!" Meng Guanglei said with a smile, "I just happened to be passing by the factory gate and saw a familiar figure, so I came over and happened to see you."
"The social gathering is about to start, I have to go back." Ye Li said.
"It's just right. I'm going back too. Let's go together." Meng Guanglei said.
Ye Li glanced at him sideways when he heard this: "You just happened to pass by the factory gate just to go back to the factory with me?"
"Then...how is that possible? Isn't this just in time?" Meng Guanglei said with a smile.
"You really caught it by chance!"
"This can't be called a coincidence, this should be called fate, right?"
"Fate is also called bad fate!" Ye Li couldn't stand it anymore. She stopped and asked Meng Guanglei again, "What do you want to do? Tell me, why do you keep pestering me like this?"
"Pursue you! Ye Li, I want to pursue you, is this reason sufficient enough?" Meng Guanglei was really overwhelmed by Ye Li's questioning and had to speak his mind.
