Chapter 82 This time, I will never push you away again】

【This chapter is from Ye Mei’s perspective in her previous life】

"Meimei, your parents don’t like you anymore after you gave birth to a younger sister!"

Ye Mei had forgotten how old she was when she first heard this.

At first, she didn’t take it seriously. She

would even angrily retort: ​​"No way! My parents like me!"

But relatives and neighbors always like to say similar things.

"Xiaomei, look at your mother. She dared to fight your grandfather with a knife for Qingyue. Your mother didn’t do that when you were born!"

"Meimei, your mother always holds Qingyue and never accompanies you. Doesn’t she like you?"

After hearing such words too many times, Ye Mei couldn’t help but think more.

She thought her parents really seemed to like her younger sister more.

Whenever her younger sister whined, her mother would rush over to pat her on the back.

It was clearly the younger sister who fell down from the bed, but the father would scold her for not taking good care of her.

Sister, sister...

Mom and Dad always revolve around the younger sister, what about her?

Little Ye Mei felt that it was because of the younger sister that her parents no longer cared about her and didn't like her.

From one day on, Ye Mei didn't like her younger sister anymore.

In the past, she thought the small, soft and cute white ball was only annoying now.

But the white ball was really annoying. She obviously ignored him, but she still wanted to sleep next to him. If she was not allowed to sleep next to him, she would cry loudly and disturb the whole family.

At this time, the father would scold her for being ignorant: "When I was your age, I took care of your second uncle every day. What's wrong with you sleeping with Qingyue? She is your sister!"

"I don't want a sister!"

Ye Mei is not afraid of her father.

Dad only yells at people, unlike the second uncle, who beats children when he is angry.

Finally, seeing that Ye Mei really didn't want to sleep with Ye Qingyue, Ye Xianghong and Ye Yong had no choice but to separate the two sisters.

"Xiaomei, talk to your mother. You used to like Qingyue so much, why don't you like it now?"

Ye Xianghong talked to Ye Mei about this the next day.

"If I don't like it, I don't like it!"

Ye Mei was swearing at her parents, how could she want to talk nicely?

She said bluntly: "If you ask me to take care of my sister again, I will learn from Erya next door and beat my younger brothers and sisters when they don't obey!"

"Xiaomei, hitting people is not good, you can't hit people!"

Ye Xianghong, who has always been gentle, lost her temper with Ye Mei for the first time.

Little Ye Mei looked at her mother's serious face and felt that her mother didn't like her anymore. She cried "Wow", shouted "I hate my sister the most!", and ran away.

Since then, Ye Xianghong and Ye Yong never let Ye Mei take care of Ye Qingyue.

Ye Mei also distanced herself from her favorite sister. No matter how Ye Qingyue clung to her, she would never give her a good face.

It was because of the birth of her sister that her parents disliked her! It was all her sister's fault! It was not

until Ye Mei was ten years old that she realized she was wrong.

At that time, Ye Qingyue was seven years old and Ye Feng was four years old.

Because of premature birth, Ye Feng had been weak since childhood.

Ye Mei once had a quarrel with her family about taking care of her sister and threatened to beat her sister.

So the task of taking care of her younger brother fell on Ye Qingyue.

"Qingyue, Afeng is not in good health. When you go to school, you must take Afeng with you. Don't leave him alone at home. You have worked hard. I will buy you candy during the Chinese New Year."

Ye Xianghong said to Ye Qingyue.

"Don't always think about going out to play. Which older child in the village doesn't take care of his younger brothers and sisters? If they all go out to play, the adults will just stop working! The whole family will starve!"

Ye Yong warned Ye Qingyue who wanted to go out and play hide-and-seek with classmates.

Ye Mei watched from the side and always felt that this scene was familiar.

When going out to play with friends, she suddenly found that most of the older children in the village would take their younger brothers and sisters with them.

"If I leave my brother at home, I won't be able to concentrate on making bamboo baskets. I have to check on him from time to time, fearing that he might get bumped."

Her friend said to her, "There was a child in the next village who was left at home with no one to take care of him. He swallowed five cents and choked to death. If he were alive, he would probably be the same age as your sister."

After hearing this, Ye Mei vaguely remembered that a few years ago, when her mother patted her whimpering sister's back, she would always check her sister's mouth to see if there was anything.

Then she thought that when Ye Feng was born, the relatives and neighbors who had said to her, "When your parents have a sister, they will not like you anymore," seemed to have also said to her sister, "When your parents have a brother, they will not like you anymore."

At that time, Ye Qingyue even cried.

After hearing this, Ye Xianghong directly fought with those relatives and neighbors, and no one dared to say these words anymore.

Adults are always like this, saying hurtful things to children without scruples.

They will also laugh when a child cries, as if they have seen something funny.

It's not funny at all.

I was really sad at that time.

I was afraid that my parents would dislike me.

I even got angry with my sister.

Ye Mei found out her mistake, but it was very difficult to admit her mistake.

What's more, she had given Ye Qingyue the cold shoulder many times.

Now that she apologizes to her sister, Ye Mei always feels that it is very embarrassing for her to be a sister.

What if it gets out and people laugh at her?

Therefore, Ye Mei and Ye Qingyue have always maintained a rather awkward relationship.

But Ye Mei also felt guilty, knowing that she had hurt Ye Qingyue because of her ignorance.

So after that, she would occasionally take Ye Feng with her so that Ye Qingyue would have time to go out and play.

She just couldn't say anything nice: "I want to play with A Feng, you go out!"

When Ye Qingyue left with a frustrated look on her face, Ye Mei would slap herself in frustration.

She obviously wanted her sister to play with her friends, but why did the words always change when they came to her lips?

Every time Ye Mei slapped him in the face, Xiao Ye Feng would squat beside her, staring at her with his big round eyes, and occasionally laughing.

Ye Mei would glare at him: "What are you laughing at!"

Xiao Ye Feng continued to laugh: "The eldest sister likes the second sister, shame on you."

Ye Mei: "..."

Everyone in the family thought that Ye Mei disliked Ye Qingyue for no reason, and only Xiao Ye Feng, who was often taken care of by Ye Mei, knew that in fact the eldest sister liked the second sister, but

she just couldn't say it out loud. He also knew that the second sister also liked the eldest sister. Every time the eldest sister spoke coldly to her, she would sigh unconsciously in private.

However, Xiao Ye Feng didn't understand why his two sisters were like this?

When Ye Qingyue entered junior high school, Ye Mei also graduated from junior high school and followed the adults to work in the fields.

When Ye Qingyue was resting, she would boil mung bean water at home and send it to her.

Ye Mei keenly discovered that many men, big and small, would always talk to her sister intentionally or unintentionally, like flies, and could not be driven away.

When she talked about this with her friends, her friends suddenly laughed.

"Meimei, don't you really understand?"

This is what her friend said to her: "Your sister is pretty, those people like her!"

Ye Mei felt that this was wrong: "I am pretty too, why don't men get close to me?" This must not be the reason, right?

The friend hesitated to speak, and finally told the truth under Ye Mei's coercion: "Meimei, you usually beat people up when you disagree with someone, which man has the courage to get close to you? Your sister doesn't beat people up, so the man is definitely picking on the weak!"

Ye Mei thought of Ye Qingyue's taciturn personality. She usually doesn't like to quarrel with others, and she has never seen her fight with anyone. Could this be the reason?

She was half-believing and half-doubting.

Until one day she got off work early and saw Ye Qingyue running home in panic, crying.

Ye Mei walked over subconsciously: "Why are you crying?"

Except when she was a child, Ye Mei could count the number of times Ye Qingyue cried on one hand in her memory.

"Someone was chasing me..."

Ye Qingyue said while crying, "Sister, when I came back from school, a gangster blocked me and wouldn't let me go. He even wanted to drag me to the cornfield. I was scared... so I ran back."

When Ye Mei heard this, her head buzzed and she thought of what her friend said to her later that day.

"Meimei, you'd better remind your sister to learn from you and be more aggressive, otherwise she will be easily entangled by hooligans. I heard that there is a girl in the county who had to marry an old man in his thirties before she was twenty because of this kind of thing, and she was beaten every day!"

Ye Mei thought of her fair and tender sister marrying an old man with wrinkles on his face. Fear and nameless anger surged in her heart, and she immediately cursed: "What are you afraid of! Don't you know how to beat him? Have you eaten your food in vain? So stupid, it's shame to have a sister like you!"

She pushed Ye Qingyue away and ran out.

Along the way Ye Qingyue came back, Ye Mei caught the hooligan who was cursing on the road.

Without saying a word, she punched him in the head and knocked him unconscious, dragged him to the small woods next to him and beat him up.

"You dare to bully my sister, right? Do you know the crime of being a hooligan? Do you want to die? Ah?!"

Ye Mei's hands were covered in blood the first time she beat the hooligan.

It wasn't her blood.

The hooligan ran away crying with blood all over his face.

Ye Mei didn't chase him, for fear of making a big fuss and everyone thinking that her sister really had something going on with the hooligan and forcing her sister to marry him.

After washing her hands by the river, Ye Mei went home.

On the way, she kept thinking, today was the day she got off work early.

What if her sister had encountered something like this when she got off work late, but didn't tell her family?

After all, her sister had never worried her family.

Once during the Chinese New Year, she sprained her ankle and her ankle was swollen like a bun. She couldn't even pull up her socks before she was discovered.

When asked why Ye Qingyue didn't say anything, she replied, "Grandpa used to say that it's unlucky to mention injuries and illnesses during the New Year."

Ye Mei was so angry that she went to pick up feces and throw it into Old Man Ye's house in the middle of the night. In the morning, she heard Old Man Ye cursing, and she felt better.

But when she saw Ye Qingyue's steamed buns and ankles, Ye Mei was upset again.

"Don't always make people worry..."

After beating up the gangster, Ye Mei went home and saw Ye Qingyue chatting with her family about school. She looked as if nothing had happened, and she felt depressed.

Why didn't her sister beat people? Why didn't she complain?

Ye Mei didn't know the answer. She hadn't had a good chat with Ye Qingyue for a long time, and now she didn't know how to start the conversation.

All she could do was to find reasons to leave work early every day, and then wait for Ye Qingyue after school and secretly follow her sister.

If any brat dared to stop her sister on the road, she would go and "reason" with him.

However, it was not good to always leave work early.

After a while, someone reported Ye Mei for slacking off.

Ye Yong got angry and told her to work hard.

Ye Mei had to obey, and she didn't want to be taken to be educated.

Until that incident happened.

Ye Qingyue was carried back with blood all over her head.

It was said that she had a quarrel with Ye Fang and was pushed off the ridge of the field by Ye Fang.

For this, Ye Xianghong almost hacked Ye Fang to death, and the kitchen knife cut half of Ye Fang's hair. In the end, she was stopped by several people. She was locked

in the woodshed for a few days. Because she couldn't see the lady for a long time, she was worried that something might happen, so she compromised and promised not to make trouble.

After that day, Ye Mei left early openly and picked up and dropped off Ye Qingyue to and from school.

Ye Xianghong brought this up herself.

She thought Ye Mei would not agree, but she nodded without hesitation.

"Mother knows that you have always liked your sister."

Ye Mei still remembered the happy smile on her mother's face that day, and...

her inexplicably depressed mood.

When seeing her mother holding a knife to kill Ye Fang, Ye Mei suddenly remembered that every time her mother "went crazy", it seemed to be because her sister was injured.

Every time this happened, her mother, who was always gentle, would lose her mind and become reckless.

When her mother was about to kill Ye Fang, the people around her who were trying to stop her kept persuading her: "If you kill Xiao Fang, you will also be arrested and sent to jail. Think about Xiao Mei and A Feng, you can't let them be without a mother, right?"

However, her mother did not hesitate at all.

After seeing this scene, Ye Mei suddenly realized that although she felt when she was a child that her parents didn't like her because they had a sister, it was actually a wrong perception.

But in fact, compared to her, her mother did love her sister more, and put her sister before all the children, even before everyone.

Ye Mei was not jealous, but a little envious.

No one put her first.

However, Ye Mei could understand why her mother liked her younger sister more.

Because her younger sister was really likable.

During the three years when Ye Mei picked up Ye Qingyue from school, she was always awkward and couldn't open her mouth to talk to her younger sister normally.

But her younger sister would not be unfriendly to her because she was too cold. Instead, she always had a smile on her face and told her what interesting things she encountered in school today. She

would always say: "Sister, listen to me... Sister, sister..."

Even the coldest person would become gentle in front of her younger sister, right?

Ye Mei also liked this younger sister more.

Three years later, Ye Qingyue graduated from junior high school.

The Ye family didn't want to waste money on her to go to high school, but Ye Qingyue cried and begged her family to let her continue her studies.

Ye Mei knew that her sister didn't have many hobbies, but her eyes would always light up when she talked about studying.

Seeing her sister crying and saying that she wanted to study, Ye Mei softened her heart and went to seek reasoning with Old Man Ye in private: "Grandpa, can't Qingyue go to high school? The family doesn't need that money, does it?"

"Who said it doesn't need that money? It does!"

Old Man Ye didn't give in at all.

But the next day, grandma came to see her.

"Xiaomei, do you hope Qingyue can continue to study? But the family really has no money, do you want to help?"

Grandma's "help" was to let her marry a strange man in exchange for a betrothal gift for Ye Qingyue to study.

How could Ye Mei agree to that?

No matter how much she liked her sister, she couldn't sacrifice her own life for it.

Ye Mei had expectations for her future husband that others didn't know about, and she didn't want to marry casually.

"Grandma is not forcing you to marry him, just go and meet him, okay?"

Finally, under her grandmother's kind words, Ye Mei went to meet the man perfunctorily.

The impression of the first meeting was unexpectedly good.

Although he was not tall, about the same height as her, his facial features were quite regular, fair and clean, and he was very gentle to her.

Ye Mei was a little moved.

She couldn't help but asked the man a question: "Where do I rank in your heart?"

The man smiled at her: "Of course it's the first, Xiaomei, I met you once before in the county town, and I liked you at that time. Marry me, okay?"

The moment she heard "first", Ye Mei's defense line in her heart loosened.

She cried and nodded: "Okay, I will marry you." She

was obviously happy, why was she crying?

Perhaps, it was because for the first time in her 19 years of life, someone said to her, "You are my first."

She felt that marrying such a man must be right.

The day before her wedding, Ye Qingyue said that the man did not value her because he did not hold a wedding, but Ye Mei did not listen at all.

She just thought, what do you know as a little girl? She

opened her mouth and said, "It's none of your business, go study."

The man emptied his family's savings to give the Ye family a betrothal gift.

And the betrothal money included Ye Qingyue's study money.

Ye Mei felt that anyone could say that the man was not good, but Ye Qingyue could not.

But she did not say these words out loud.

If she said them out loud, wouldn't her sister know that she liked her?

How embarrassing would that be?

The next day, the man took her away, and Ye Mei felt that every step she took towards the man was a step towards happiness.

Until -

"Sister, don't go!"

When she was about to hold the man's hand, she was hugged from behind.

It was Ye Qingyue.

Her favorite sister.

Because of her words last night, the two sisters were still in a cold war.

When she got up in the morning to pack her bags, Ye Qingyue ignored her.

Ye Mei was still a little lost.

Until Ye Qingyue hugged her from behind, Ye Mei suddenly wanted to cry.

Silly sister, I obviously never treat you well, but why do you always give me such a gentle hug?

Don't you feel pain when you hug a person full of thorns?

When Ye Mei subconsciously grabbed Ye Qingyue's hand, she suddenly felt that it was too fussy to worry about who was first or not.

She was obviously loved so deeply.

Ye Mei wanted to say something, wanted to tell Ye Qingyue that her sister didn't dislike her, she liked her very much -

when she raised her head and wanted to say this, she saw...

the man who said he put her first, staring at her back.

Staring at...

the sister who was hugging her.

That look was just like the men she had seen when she secretly followed her sister and saw them pestering her sister.

It was disgusting.

Ye Mei was going crazy.

She pushed Ye Qingyue away, grabbed the man, and left without looking back.

If she looked back, Ye Qingyue would surely see her despair on her face and her unstoppable tears.

Because she knew that Ye Qingyue would definitely hold her tightly and not let her go.

But at this point, Ye Mei didn't know if she would have a chance to turn back.

So, she could only go down this path.

Forget the way the man looked at her sister, pretend that he really puts her first, and live a good life.

This is how Ye Mei persuaded herself, but life slapped her in the face.

On the first night of returning home with the man, Ye Mei lay on the bed nervously, thinking about the things her mother had told her that she was about to experience, a little scared and very shy.

But things were not as her mother said.

Every time, the man finished at the door and soon began to snore.

This went on for several days.

Ye Mei finally couldn't help it and went to ask the man.

But the man showed an angry expression, pointed at her and cursed: "Is that the only thing in your mind? Slut!"

Ye Mei almost thought that she was as disgusting as the man said.

It was not until half a year after marriage that she complained to a girl from a neighboring family with whom she had a good relationship.

The neighboring girl showed a sympathetic look and told her a secret.

"Do you know? Your husband's family used to be quite powerful, until he got drunk and hit a girl on the street, and was kicked in the middle of the leg."

"After that incident, his family fell into decline, and he became quiet and no longer hugged other women like before."

"Some people also said that he became quiet because he was kicked that time. If you hadn't said it, I would have thought it was fake..."

Ye Mei even forgot how she got home that day.

Her mind was a mess.

On that day, the man came back and asked her, "Why didn't you go home after you got married? I got my salary. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some gifts and go back to Xiangyang Village. It's almost the New Year... By the way, what does your sister like? Does she like White Rabbit candy?"

The last sentence ignited the anger that Ye Mei had suppressed in her heart.

She couldn't deceive herself anymore.

The man in front of her never put her first. He

was just a playboy who lied all the time!

Not only that, he also targeted her sister, which made her sick!

"If you dare to go find my sister and try, I'll beat you to death!"

Ye Mei punched the man in the face.

She had endured it for too long. She

really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Don't think I don't know. The day you picked me up,

you were staring at my sister!" "I tell you, unless I die, don't think about seeing her again!"

Ye Mei went crazy, and her husband's family couldn't stop her.

In the end, the man was beaten by her so hard that he didn't dare to mention going to Xiangyang Village again. Her

husband's family didn't dare to settle accounts with her, for fear of being beaten.

Another year passed, and it was a cold and freezing day.

Ye Mei suddenly learned about her brother's death and the news of the Ye family's division.

Rushing to Xiangyang Village, Ye Mei saw Ye Qingyue, who looked haggard.

In the small shabby house, wearing thin clothes, his face was red as if he had a fever, but he didn't care at all, and smiled at her: "Sister, A Feng is dead, he is dead..."

After that, the face that was still forcing a smile silently shed tears.

It was heartbreaking to see.

Ye Mei didn't think about it and slapped him.

"What a prospect!"

Ye Mei doesn't know how to comfort others, especially Ye Qingyue.

However, Ye Mei feels that she has done nothing wrong.

Her younger sister now can't be cheered up by nice words.

"You keep crying here. Will you cry Ah Feng to life or what? Instead of crying in the house, you might as well take a book to read. Who was the one who cried and made a fuss about going to high school? There is still half a year before the college entrance examination. If you fail, you will cry!"

Ye Mei cursed and took out her pocket and stuffed all the private money she had saved into Ye Qingyue's hands.

Seeing Ye Qingyue crying again while holding the money, Ye Mei felt her nose sour. She was afraid that she would be embarrassed to cry in front of her sister, so she simply turned around and left.

On the way back, Ye Mei burst into tears.

Her brother was dead.

Her mother and sister were driven out of the house by that bunch of ungrateful people. They lived in such a shabby house in such a cold day.

All she could do was to take out ten yuan.

Ye Mei was so angry that she went to the county town to find Ye Weixing and beat him up severely.

Her grandparents were weak and she would have to pay for the damages. Her second uncle and second aunt were the elders and if she really beat them up, she might even have to go to jail. Ye Fang ran to the capital again, thinking that only Ye Weixing could beat them.

Ye Mei felt better after she beat Ye Weixing so badly that he was bruised and swollen.

After returning home, she dreamed of that shabby house with a leak in her dreams. The next day, she couldn't help herself and asked an acquaintance to find her a part-time job and secretly went to work every day.

After getting her salary, she went to find Ye Xianghong and stuffed the money into her pocket.

"Don't tell Qingyue."

Ye Mei thought of her husband's disgusting expression and didn't want Ye Qingyue to have anything to do with her anymore.

The life she chose was a mess, so why should she drag her sister into it and make it miserable?

"Are you not living well in your husband's family?"

Ye Xianghong's words made Ye Mei a little flustered.

Then, she heard: "Xiaomei, if you are not happy, go home."

Ye Mei almost couldn't help crying again, and then shook her head: "No."

Her father-in-law seemed to have reconnected with his old connections and was going to be reinstated.

If she went home, it might implicate her mother and sister.

What's more, this is the path she chose. No matter

how hard it is, it is her own choice.

After that, another half a year passed.

When Ye Qingyue was admitted to the university, Ye Mei had another big fight with her husband.

Until Ye Qingyue left Jiangcheng, Ye Mei hid in the crowd on the platform, watching Ye Qingyue's face go away, thinking that she could breathe a sigh of relief afterwards.

But her mother-in-law came to her and said, "Meimei, your father-in-law has returned to work now, and the situation at home is much better than before. We should talk about some things. You and Zhenhua have been married for so long, why haven't you made any progress?"

Ye Mei wanted to say, because your son is not good enough.

But she has been married for so long, but in fact she is still a virgin, how can she say it?

The mother-in-law said, "Let's go to the hospital to check."

Ye Mei had to go.

The result was that she was infertile.

On the day she got the result, Ye Mei almost laughed out loud.

One is infertile and the other is incompetent, but they are a good match. However,

her parents-in-law were quite dissatisfied with this and tried every means to torture her.

Ye Mei resisted, but she didn't expect that this family would use her mother to threaten her.

So, she endured it.

After taking this step back, Ye Mei felt as if she had lost something.

The sharpness and spirit of the past were gone.

Slowly, she became numb to the torture of her parents-in-law.

So be it.

This is the path she chose herself.

How does the word go? It 's

what you sow.

Isn't she just reaping what she sows?

Feeling that she was not valued at home, she was deceived by the man's sweet words and gambled to get married. She knew it was a bottomless pit, but she deceived herself all day long, thinking that her husband would change his mind and live a good life with her...

In the end, she ended up with such a result. What else could it be but her own fault?

Day after day, year after year.

When Ye Mei thought that her life would go on like this, she received a letter from Ye Qingyue.

Mother was dead.

The murderer was their long-dead father.

When Ye Mei saw the content of the letter, she couldn't imagine what her sister was feeling, dealing with all these things alone.

At the end of the letter, she saw Ye Qingyue said that he would come to see her.

Ye Mei panicked.

Can't come!

Can't come!

Can't come!

The date when the letter could be sent has been a while.

It was too late to reply.

Ye Mei searched the corners of the bedroom and found some money. She ran out of the house in a hurry and bought a ticket to Beijing.

According to the address on the letter, Ye Mei found Ye Qingyue.

The moment she opened the door, Ye Mei saw Ye Qingyue's indifferent face.

But after seeing her, Ye Qingyue suddenly smiled: "Sister!"

Ye Mei once read a poem in a book.

Suddenly, the spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloomed.

Her sister's smile was like a spring breeze.

Ye Mei thought she had become numb to life, but when she saw this smiling face, ripples appeared in her heart.

When Ye Qingyue took her to such a magnificent place for dinner, Ye Mei realized that her sister was really different.

Although the letter said that Ye Qingyue had graduated from university and was going to work in a big hospital.

This is something that most people dare not even think about.

But at this moment, Ye Mei felt a little bit of reality.

Ye Mei couldn't help but smile when Ye Qingyue was looking at the menu.

Her sister has really made great progress.

However, after Ye Mei picked up the menu and saw the numbers on it, her smile froze.

Is she dazzled?

What's so expensive? Is she trying to

steal money?

Oh no, it's better than stealing money, at least she can get some dishes.

Ye Mei put down the menu with a pained look.

"Sister, do you still remember the slap you gave me?"

The voice of her younger sister sounded from the side.

Of course Ye Mei remembered that she cried on the way home that day, and she also cried while beating Ye Weixing.

It was so embarrassing.

Why bring it up now?

Ye Mei couldn't help but frown, "Are you settling accounts with me?"

"I want to say, if you hadn't woken me up with that slap, I wouldn't have studied hard, got into college, made money as a doctor, and brought you to a place like this to eat."

When Ye Qingyue said this, her smile became gentle, "So sister, relax, you are my sister."

Looking at her, Ye Mei felt her heart soften, and the little white ball in her memory from a long, long time ago seemed to be clear.

This...

silly sister.

Why don't you grow up?

Ye Mei used a sneer to cover the corners of her mouth that she couldn't suppress.

But she still couldn't help but chuckle.

Picking up the menu, Ye Mei scanned it and ordered the cheapest egg fried rice.

Doesn't her sister have a formal job yet?

Ye Mei didn't want to add to the burden.

But then, Ye Qingyue picked up the menu and ordered a row of extremely expensive dishes.

Ye Mei almost vomited blood, spendthrift! Are you crazy?

But Ye Qingyue ignored her murderous gaze and smiled and told her to eat more.

Can you not eat more?

It's more money!

Ye Mei almost gritted her teeth and swallowed the dishes.

Damn, it's so delicious.

No wonder she dared to rob money.

Ye Mei ate her food with a painful feeling.

She had to say that she was very happy with this meal.

It had been a long time since she had a good meal.

After all, her husband's family was like that...

"Sister, why don't you bring your husband's family and move to the capital to live with me?"

When she heard this, Ye Mei thought she had tinnitus.

What followed was a huge fear, and she couldn't even hold the chopsticks steadily.

Ye Mei looked at Ye Qingyue in astonishment, but found that her sister was serious and told her about her plans for the future: "Don't worry about the housing problem, I will pay for you to buy a bigger house, and I will also use my connections to help you with work problems..."

"Are you sympathizing with me?"

Ye Mei couldn't listen any more.

She was really afraid that if she continued to listen, she would not be able to help but tell Ye Qingyue the truth.

But, she couldn't.

People like her parents-in-law were a hundred times more difficult to deal with than the Ye family, and they were also more cruel.

In order to force her to compromise, they even hired gangsters to block her mother.

If she let that kind of trash get involved with her sister, what kind of despicable things would she do?

Thinking of this, Ye Mei felt like she was going crazy.

"Ye Qingyue, you don't think that you are living a good life now, and you feel sympathy for me because I am not living a satisfactory life, so you want to give me alms?"

Ye Mei gritted her teeth and said these words, her heart bleeding.

She regretted that she had married that kind of man in a fit of anger and made things so chaotic.

She had to...

severely hurt her sister's kindness!

"Sister, how can you say that..."

Seeing her sister's pale face, and still trying to pull her hand: "Sister, I really hope you can live a good life, I..."

Ye Mei hardened her heart and forcefully pushed Ye Qingyue's hand away: "Don't touch me!"

I know you are really doing

this for my own good. "What's wrong? Do you think I'm embarrassing? Do you think I, a poor sister, have embarrassed you?"

But, don't be nice to me anymore.

"Then you still have the nerve to say that you really hope I can live a good life?"

Qingyue, I'm sorry that as a sister, I'm so disappointing and always hurt you.

"Don't you just want to satisfy your vanity by giving me charity?!"

I am hopeless in this life.

"Why should I be a tool for you to pretend to be a good person?!"

So, at least you...

"You are so disgusting!"

You have to live your life well.

Ye Mei swept the dishes on the table, but she couldn't suppress the urge to cry. She wanted to run away, but was caught by Ye Qingyue.

"Anything else?"

Ye Mei gritted her teeth, not wanting to cry.

Now, she couldn't cry yet.

"Sister, I call you sister because I miss our past relationship."

In her sight, Ye Qingyue's eyes were red from crying, and her voice became hoarse: "But to be honest... I don't owe you anything, do I?"

"Pa!"

Ye Mei's slap was merciless.

At first, she slapped Ye Qingyue who was in a daze to wake her up.

Now, she hoped that this slap could break the last bit of ties between the two sisters.

Write off all the past.

"Now I don't owe you anything."

Ye Mei left quickly after saying this.

When she walked out of the hotel, her steps were a little unsteady.

Qingyue.

Sister.

My favorite...

sister.

Don't dwell on the past.

They are all trivial matters. What else can they bring to you except making you sad and painful with me?

Since you have left the village full of sad memories, don't look back.

Even if I still stay where I am.

You have to pretend that I don't exist.

Let's go.

Run.

Go far away.

In this way, there will be no burden to hinder your steps.

Run towards your happiness.

Ye Mei ran away, crying loudly.

"Why do you say take me away now..."

"If it was earlier, earlier..."

"I was...looking forward to it."

"When they humiliate me, I hope you can rush in, take me away, take me home..."

"I really...have thought about it..."

But it was just a thought.

Now, she doesn't want to think about anything.

Because she crushed her own will with her own hands.

She no longer has the courage to escape from that place.

When she returned to that house, Ye Mei looked at her husband who came to meet her.

What she was thinking in her heart was, you actually came to pick me up?

Ye Mei was exhausted physically and mentally. Although she hated the man in front of her, she inexplicably wanted to hug him.

It's not that she still likes him, she just wants a hug, no matter if the other person is a jerk or not.

"Did you go to Beijing to find your sister?"

The first sentence the man said made Ye Mei alert, "She has graduated from college now, right? She should be very rich, right? How much did you ask her for? Where's the money?"

Ye Mei laughed, "I didn't ask her for money."

The last thought of hugging the other person was gone.

Even if you want a hug, you can't throw it into the shit, right?

"What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me?!"

The man was embarrassed and angry, "Bitch, don't think I don't know what you did! How could you not ask her for money, you lie! Give me the money! Take it out and give it to me!!!"

Ye Mei watched the man rushing towards her, and she was too lazy to dodge.

She didn't eat or sleep for a day and a night, how could she have the strength?

Until the man pinched her neck hard, as if he wanted to break her bones, Ye Mei didn't resist too much.

She was tired.

So tired.

Just die.

Anyway, her life couldn't be any worse.

Speaking of which...

Ye Mei suddenly thought of something while she was fuzzy.

It seemed that no one in her family had a good ending.

Her younger brother hit his head and died of illness.

Her mother was killed by her father because she found out that her dead father was still alive.

Her father was sentenced to death for murder.

Now she is almost strangled to death by her husband.

It really is... a family that has a bad ending.

However, her sister is still alive.

I hope my sister will be well...

sister...?

Ye Mei's mind flashed through the last meeting with Ye Qingyue and the look in her eyes when she looked at her.

Until this moment, Ye Mei suddenly realized.

That look was so desperate.

Sister, do you...

really want to live a good life?

Ye Mei finally realized.

If she died too, her sister would really be...

alone!

Can the sister who faced her cold face for more than ten years and still ran over to hug her with a smile really accept such a life?

Can she accept it?

Can she?

Ye Mei thought of a sentence written in her sister's letter.

"Sister, you are all I have left."

"Let...go...!"

Ye Mei gritted her teeth and squeezed out these two words. Finally, she was no longer calm and grabbed the man's hand that was strangling her neck.

She...

can't die!

If she dies, her sister will really have nothing!

That silly sister will never feel happy for such a lonely life!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sister, I was wrong, it was my sister who was wrong.

I shouldn't have hidden it from you.

I shouldn't have been stubborn with you.

I shouldn't have left you alone!

Wait for me, wait for me -

even if I will cause you a lot of trouble, this time, I will never push you away and leave you alone...

"Crack."

In a trance, Ye Mei heard something... the sound of breaking.

What was it that broke?

Ye Mei stared at the beam with empty eyes.

She probably knew.

It was her neck.
