Chapter 223 No one here will force you]
Facing the two shocked people, Ye Qingyue blinked and said in a nonchalant tone: "The son of the family that bought my mother as a child bride died. Is there any problem?"
Old Master Jiang and Jiang Ting: "..." It's a big problem.
Since the son of the family that colluded with the kidnapper died, where did you three children come from?
Old Master Jiang was also well-informed. At this moment, he pretended to be calm and asked: "...What happened later?"
"How did Yue'er and your father get together?" Jiang Ting also pretended to ask casually.
"The family that wanted my mother to be a child bride had a son who died, so they wanted my mother to be buried with him."
Ye Qingyue's words immediately made the anger of Old Master Jiang and Jiang Ting, which had calmed down, rush to the peak again.
Even Li Qi, who was holding hands with Ye Xianghong, seemed to understand these words. He paused and looked at Ye Qingyue.
"Mom didn't want to die, so she ran away. She encountered an accident on the road and was saved by Ye Yong, our father."
Ye Qingyue didn't look at the expressions of Old Man Jiang and Jiang Ting at the moment, and continued: "At that time, Dad broke a leg to save Mom. Grandpa and grandma thought that he would be disabled in the future and would definitely not be able to find a wife, so they used food to exchange my mother from that family."
From the perspective of Old Man Ye and Grandma Li, they bought a daughter-in-law.
From the perspective of Ye Xianghong, she was rescued from the devil's cave by Ye Yong.
Old Man Jiang and Jiang Ting's mood became complicated.
"What happened next?"
This time, it was Li Qi who spoke up. She asked, "Where's your father?"
Like Ye Xianghong, she was not much different from a normal person when she was not ill.
Ye Qingyue was not surprised by this. She said directly, "He died. During the flood, he was washed away by the water while trying to save public property. No one saw him alive, and no one saw his body after he died."
Her tone was calm, as if an insignificant outsider had died.
Li Qi was stunned.
Old Master Jiang and Jiang Ting also frowned, looking at Ye Qingyue in confusion, and then turned their eyes to other people.
When Ye Xianghong heard about Ye Yong, her eyes turned red and she shed tears silently, which made the two of them feel heartbroken.
The expressions of Ye Mei and Ye Feng, like Ye Qingyue, were calm, as if the one who died was not their father.
Old Master Jiang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is Ye Yong... not good to you?"
"It was better before."
It was Ye Mei who spoke first. She said, "I forgot which year it was, I started drinking heavily, and when I was drunk I would beat people, my mother and us, and I was always very cruel."
After a pause, she added, "We fought against him, and we won and lost equally."
Li Qi, Old Master Jiang, and Jiang Ting: "..." Is this the point?
Why do you have a competitive spirit in strange places!
They finally figured it out. Among the three children, although Ye Mei is the oldest, she is more aggressive than her younger sister and brother, and she is quite competitive.
Ye Mei's answer also made them understand why the three children didn't feel much about their father's death.
A man who beats his wife and children ruthlessly is simply not a human being!
If it weren't for seeing Ye Xianghong crying, Old Man Jiang really wanted to say, "Good death!" She deserved it!
"Don't cry, it's not worth it for that kind of man..."
Li Qi felt very distressed when he saw his daughter crying, and reached out to wipe her tears.
But Ye Xianghong shook her head and said, "Ayong... He almost died for me before..."
Her life was saved by Ye Yong, and it was Ye Yong who accompanied her through the darkest period of her life.
Young couples support each other, which is the most unforgettable.
Once, when the two were treated harshly by Old Man Ye and could only get two wotou a day, Ye Yong would let her eat one and a half, and he would only eat half, and he would not let her eat too much even if he was so hungry that he was vomiting.
Even though Ye Yong hit her later, Ye Xianghong still clearly remembered how gentle he was to her.
Even though, that was all in the past.
"Mom, why did Dad become like that?"
Ye Mei couldn't stand seeing Ye Xianghong crying for that scumbag, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.
She had asked her mother before, but Ye Xianghong refused to say.
"He..."
Ye Xianghong hesitated for a moment before saying, "He just misunderstood, and he was under too much pressure, so...that's why." She
still refused to tell the truth.
Ye Mei looked at Ye Qingyue and winked at her.
Li Qi and the other two also noticed Ye Mei's little movements. They vaguely guessed that Ye Qingyue was probably the child that Ye Xianghong loved the most.
If Ye Qingyue asked, she might say.
"Mom."
Ye Qingyue stood up, walked to Ye Xianghong and squatted.
Ye Xianghong avoided her sight.
Ye Qingyue didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand and pulled out Ye Xianghong's hand hidden under her sleeve.
A touch of bright red pierced the eyes of everyone present.
"Mom!"
"Yue'er?!"
Ye Xianghong's palms were broken by her at some point, and blood stained her whole hands. Seeing
that everyone was looking at her, Ye Xianghong wanted to hide her hands.
Ye Qingyue did not force her to hold her back, and let her put her hands back into her sleeves.
"Mom, don't be nervous, we won't ask again."
Ye Qingyue took Ye Xianghong's hand and said softly: "Let me see your wounds and bandage them for you, okay?"
When Ye Mei asked about the past when Ye Yong's personality changed drastically, Ye Qingyue noticed that Ye Xianghong's hands had been retracted into her sleeves at some point, and there were strange ups and downs inside.
Thinking of her mother's mental illness, Ye Qingyue guessed that her mother was most likely...
committing suicide.
Seeing Ye Xianghong's hands covered in blood, Ye Qingyue no longer pursued Ye Yong's past thoughts and just wanted her mother to calm down.
Next to him, Jiang Ting hurriedly asked Wang Ma to bring the medical kit.
Ye Qingyue took out the disinfection tools from it. This time, Ye Xianghong did not resist. Even when she was stabbed by alcohol, she just moved her fingers and did not dodge.
Li Qi felt very distressed when he saw her like this. Without saying a word, he took out medical gauze and wiped the blood for her.
Old Master Jiang also came over tremblingly, and seeing the blood on Ye Xianghong's hand, his eyes turned red again, "Yue'er, if you don't want to say or do something in the future, just tell us, no one here will force you, if anyone dares, Dad will help you beat him!"
"Yue'er, I will protect you, don't be afraid!"
Jiang Ting also came over, gently pulled Ye Xianghong's wrist, and said, "Do you still remember? When you were a child, the dog next door wanted to snatch your candy, and I beat it away for you. I won't let anyone bully you!"
Being surrounded by people, Ye Xianghong was a little uncomfortable and didn't say anything.
However, compared to the anxiety just now, Ye Xianghong at this moment seemed to calm down slowly.
At this time, Ye Mei came over, lowered her head and said, "Mom, I was wrong. I won't ask again in the future."
She didn't expect her mother's reaction to be so dramatic.
Although she was competitive in front of others, Ye Mei would always give in when facing Ye Xianghong.
Seeing her depressed look, Ye Xianghong stretched out her bandaged right hand and patted her arm, "Raise your head. If you haven't done anything wrong, don't bow your head."
Ye Mei raised her head slightly and looked at Ye Xianghong, who was the same as usual, still so calm and with a bit of gentle eyes. She pursed her lips, a little sad, but also a little relieved.
Soon, Ye Qingyue bandaged both hands of Ye Xianghong.
Li Qi looked at her neat movements and suddenly asked, "Are you really a doctor?"
Although she was not sober the last time she met Ye Qingyue, she still remembered what happened at that time.
Ye Qingyue nodded and said, "I work in the First Hospital..."
Before she finished speaking, there were chaotic footsteps and voices outside.
"Okay, we are all old acquaintances, don't stop me!"
A female voice like a firecracker sounded from outside the door.
Ye Qingyue was stunned and turned her head subconsciously, "Director Gao?"
She saw Gao Dongqing push away Wang Ma who wanted to stop her, and rushed into the house.
