Niu Liye knew what was going on almost without thinking. He comforted the children before getting up and heading home.
Niu Niu pushed Niu Jianjun in front of Tuan Tuan: "Brother Tuan Tuan, can you look after Jianjun for me? I'm going to check on my dad!"
Tuantuan held Niu Jianjun in her arms and watched her leave.
At this moment, Lu Zhiye also put down his work and looked at Niu Liye, who was exuding a decadent and sad aura. He didn't know how to comfort him!
After all, they are one's own parents, and in this day and age, many people place great importance on family relationships!
Just like in Hong Kong, the prices of apartments in Shenzhen are low, so some families with extra money will buy them as gifts for their relatives!
The older generation, in particular, cherishes family ties!
Children who haven't received much affection from their parents since childhood also crave their parents' love and attention!
Lu Zhiye could imagine how happy Niu Liye would be when his parents said they wanted to come and see him!
He gently patted Niu Liye on the shoulder: "I'll go with you!"
Niu Liye forced a smile, but it was more like a grimace!
Back home, Niu Liye opened the door with trembling hands!
The place was basically emptied out; the cabinets were ransacked, and even the thermos on the table was taken.
It was truly like a locust swarm passing through; it was absolutely terrifying.
If it weren't for the large beds and cabinets that couldn't be moved, Lu Zhiye felt that these things wouldn't have escaped the same fate either.
While Auntie Mole was still busy in the small courtyard, she heard about Niu Liye's family and immediately asked Old Liu to come and take a look!
What they found was shocking: the room where Old Liu and his wife, Mozi, lived was completely empty...
Old Liu looked through the cabinet and, good heavens, even his underwear, which he had kept at the very bottom and patched seven or eight times, was gone!
The elderly couple had all their money in the Postal Savings Bank, and they carried the few dozen yuan they had left with them!
So, there was no financial loss!
Even so, Niu Liye still looked apologetic and stammered, "Uncle, I'll get you a few new outfits later!"
Old Liu waved his hand dismissively: "What's the big deal? We can just buy another one!"
I remember your teacher asked you to do a survey this winter break. Go check if you've lost any of your survey materials!
Losing other things is no big deal, but these documents were compiled by you going door to door to make them!
If it's really gone, I don't know how much effort it will take!
Hearing what Old Liu said, Niu Liye also remembered this matter!
He hurriedly walked towards his room, opened the desk drawer, which was empty. As soon as Lu Zhiye entered the room, he saw a basin of water in the corner.
There were many documents in the basin. Nowadays, everyone uses fountain pens, and once the paper is thrown into the water, it gets stained beyond recognition!
Lu Zhiye quickly took out these documents. The top ones were barely legible, while the bottom ones were almost illegible!
Upon seeing this, Niu Liye lost control and overturned the desk!
His action terrified Niu Niu, who screamed with her mouth agape!
Old Liu quickly hugged Niu Niu tightly, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, Daddy was just too angry!"
"Niu Niu, come on, Grandpa will take you over there to buy some candy!"
Niu Liye couldn't care less about his daughter's thoughts at this moment. His rough hands clenched the collar of his shirt, and he could no longer bear it, so he squatted down and broke down crying!
Those were his biological parents. Both of them were literate, and Niu Liye did not believe they didn't know what those documents were!
But the parents still did this. Did they think that only their other siblings were their biological children?
Why did you do this to him?
Lu Zhiye didn't know how to comfort him. After Niu Liye had vented his emotions, he walked up to him and said, "Liye, there are some things I, as your brother, should not say!"
But it is precisely because I am your brother that I have to give you some serious advice!
Some things are better left unfulfilled. You have a wife, children, and a perfect family now. There's no need to yearn for these unrealistic feelings!
Since your parents have done this, if you don't pursue the matter, they will only hold you hostage even more when they get old!
"It's better to take this opportunity to cut ties completely, so that Niu Niu and Jian Jun won't suffer later!"
Everyone can talk about grand principles, but when it comes to actually doing them personally, who would be willing to do so?
Just like Lu Zhiye himself, back when he didn't know Yan Wenqing's suffering, wasn't seeing Yan Wenqing again what Lu Zhiye had always wanted?
After Lu Zhiye finished speaking, he sat down in the main room, leaving Niu Liye to process his emotions alone.
About ten minutes later, Niu Liye wiped away his tears, the door opened, and he looked at Lu Zhiye with a determined gaze: "Come on, let's go eat first. Don't spoil everyone's fun!"
Lu Zhiye hesitated for a moment, as if he could read Lu Zhiye's mind. Niu Liye quickly said, "The bus to our area runs every two days, but with the New Year approaching, it's been changed to once a day. It usually departs around 6 p.m.!"
They're carrying so much stuff, they wouldn't choose to transfer trains back and forth!
Let's go to my aunt's house for dinner first. Just like you said, I've seen through things now. After dinner, we'll go to the train station!
It doesn't matter whether we get our clothes back or not, but we can't let Aunt Wuzi's family take their clothes away like that!
I just looked at the bag Niu Niu handed me, and there was 1,000 yuan inside!
I had 1200 yuan in savings before. That woman must have taken out 200 yuan separately and hidden the 1000 yuan!
We won't easily notice the money is missing, so we can eat in peace!
After all, Lu Zhiye had ordered so many dishes, and the neighbors in the courtyard were all waiting there.
This is the first meal that Granny Mole has eaten since she settled down, so they definitely want to give her a grand welcome!
Otherwise, who knows how it will be arranged in the future!
Lu Zhiye understood this reasoning and said no more. The two returned to the courtyard.
Old Kong and Old Xu exchanged a glance, and Old Kong quickly said, "I remember you had some in your room, right? Come on, let's tinker with it!"
Now, only Granny Mole's family, Lu Zhiye and his few friends, and the children remain in the entire courtyard!
The woman with the mole wiped her hands on her apron and asked worriedly, "Liye, are you alright?"
Niu Liye's face broke into a big smile: "What could possibly be wrong? Don't worry!"
Is the food ready? Auntie, did you make corn pancakes?
Oh, I've missed your cooking so much!
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Auntie Mole didn't want to pry either!
He quickly replied with a smile, "Yes, I knew you guys liked this!"
As Brother Kong and Brother Xu just mentioned, everyone in the courtyard loves this, so I specially made several batches of pot-baked flatbreads!
