"Ever since my grandparents stopped working, I not only have to go to the fields every day to collect grass for the pigs, but I also have to work in the fields with the adults in the village. Otherwise, how can I earn enough to feed three people?"
"I don't know what happened. It's been less than a month since my grandpa fell down, and my grandma also fell down at home. Now, both of them can't move."
At this point, Chen Ye showed a bitter smile on his face: "Fortunately, I was born with more strength than my peers, and I can do more than other children of the same age."
"The villagers felt sorry for me and let me calculate my work points along with the village adults."
The work points in their village are not the kind that you get whether you work or not. You are given work points based on how much work you do, which is quite fair.
Chen Ye wiped his face and said, "Although I can only eat two meals a day, and each meal can only be some kind of porridge, I have managed to support the family.
"It's just that my grandma has a bad temper and likes to curse. It would be better if she could be silent like my grandpa. That way I can sleep well and won't be confused when working."
"My grandparents passed away a while ago, and I was thinking that my dad would have to go back to see them. I just wanted to ask what I should do in the future. After all, I'm still young. If my dad really thinks I'm a burden, I can still support myself."
"I just didn't expect that my father didn't even come back after my grandparents passed away. My second uncle said that my father was busy and my stepmother was also busy and had no time to go back."
"Actually, there shouldn't be a single grain of rice left at home. It's not that my grandparents are dead, but my second uncle came back and took away the money box that was given to my grandparents."
As for the story, it must be processed a bit to make it sound tragic enough, right?
"When my grandparents do things, they always have to thank the people who help them. All the food in this house is used to thank the villagers."
"My family has nothing now. I have no food and no money. I can't survive anymore. That's why I thought about looking for my father."
"I originally wanted to just beg for food. Now the weather isn't as cold as it was in winter. Even if it takes a little longer, I'll eventually get there."
"However, the villagers in our village are all kind people. When they heard my idea, they pooled some money for me to take with me. I hopped on the train and came here, thinking of asking around."
She's already in such a difficult situation, she definitely can't just say she has money to buy a train ticket and come here to look for someone. Hijacking a train is not an uncommon thing nowadays. Some people who can't afford a train ticket will really sneak on the train to travel.
Of course, this is a very dangerous thing and is not allowed, but if people are really broke and forced to do so, they will not think about whether it is dangerous or not.
Old Mrs. Liu's face turned red with anger. Damn, what kind of weird family is this? They think they can just bully a child, right?
"Why are you so stupid, kid? It's obvious that this whole family is bullying you. What do you want from a father like that? He hasn't taken care of you for a single day, and you might still have to rely on him for support when he's old. Why?"
"If you ask me, parents like this should cut off ties, otherwise you, child, will have a hard time in the future!"
The words came out of her mouth, and the old lady quickly said to the side: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
If the child breaks off relations with his parents at this time, no matter how nice you say it, the sin will eventually fall on the child. This is such a good child, we cannot let him have a bad reputation.
But if he wants to preserve his reputation, the child will have to live a miserable life. No matter what choice he makes, it will be difficult and frustrating.
Chen Ye smiled bitterly. "Auntie, I understand what you mean. This is why I came here this time. My father never raised me for a single day, but he gave me a life, so I have to repay him."
"My grandparents allowed me to be born and grow up safely without starving to death. Even if they did me a favor, I'll still take care of them until the end of their lives. This is considered a repayment for their kindness. I don't feel like I owe my father anything."
"I came here this time to ask my father whether I am really his child. If he doesn't acknowledge me and only recognizes the child born by my stepmother, then we can just end it. Then I can be alone and do farm work in my hometown without any worries."
"Besides, if we break up cleanly, I won't bother my biological father and stepmother anymore. My father can also get rid of an unpopular child like me without being criticized. It's a win-win situation."
"I don't have to constantly wonder what my father looks like or what kind of person he is, and I don't look forward to the day when I have a father."
Chen Ye's words made Old Lady Liu's eyes red. This child is so pitiful, such a sensible child. These damned adults have such evil hearts.
"You kid, how come you're so sensible? You should go find them and give them a good fight, so that everyone can see the ugly faces of the couple."
"If I remember correctly, your father was a soldier, right? I think he was even a cadre. A man like him is nothing but a rotten fish. He's not afraid of stinking up our revolutionary ranks."
Chen Ye sighed helplessly: "Auntie, after all, he is the one who gave me life. How could I do that? As long as I know his true thoughts, I will feel at ease and won't have to worry about him all the time."
As she spoke, she sighed again, her eyes became red, and she turned her head as if she was wiping away tears, which made Mrs. Liu feel even worse.
"Since you want to know about Fang Yueying, then I will tell you about it." She couldn't help with anything else, but she could tell the child more about Fang Yueying so that the child would be mentally prepared.
"Don't be too sad, kid. It's better not to have such a relative. Your mother is so cruel. After all, they are her own flesh and blood. How could she really leave without even being able to see them?"
"My mother?"
"Alas, she is also a miserable person. I don't blame her."
"It's not easy for her either. She finally has a peaceful life. My presence will definitely disturb her life. Not disturbing her is my best wish for her."
Old Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "People shouldn't be too kind. This child was too kind, which is why he was controlled by family affection."
The old lady brushed the dust off a brick beside her and said, "Come sit here and talk with me. I will tell you everything I know."
The old lady believed that she knew everyone in the textile factory very well. You know, she lived in her eldest son's house at that time, and she had a lot of gossip friends. No matter what happened in anyone's family, it could escape the eyes of these old ladies.
"How can I describe Fang Yueying?" The old lady couldn't think of how to describe this person.
After thinking for a long time, the old lady slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, she has a bit of a capitalist style. She is so proud all day long, like a big white goose, holding her neck high, as if she looks down on everyone. Anyway, I have never seen her look anyone in the eye."
