The Xun family's house was packed with people. Ye Yun stood behind the crowd and looked inside curiously.
There seemed to be nothing unusual in the quiet courtyard.
Ye Yun gently patted the shoulder of the person in front of her and asked with a smile: "Brother, what are you looking at here?"
The eldest brother in front turned around, not caring who Ye Yun was, and pointed at the courtyard of the Xun family and said, "Oh, it's the woman from the Xun family. She has been so powerful all her life, but now she has tied her son up in the house!" Huh?
Ye Yun was slightly surprised.
The older sister next to her also joined in the fun and said, "Look at how powerful she is usually, but she doesn't even treat her own child as a human being. She locks him up in the room and doesn't give him any food. How can a parent be like this in the world? Is she getting her comeuppance now?"
"I heard that when she was seen this morning, she was scratching the window in her room anxiously. I guess she was tied up yesterday!"
"That's right. I heard that the second son of his family went to get a divorce with his daughter-in-law yesterday. She didn't show up to act arrogantly in such a big matter. She must not be able to leave."
Everything suddenly made sense.
As they chatted, Ye Yun couldn't help but look at the palm-sized courtyard.
"Look, she is still as proud as ever. She has been hungry for a day and a night, but she still remembers to hide so that we won't laugh at her." The eldest sister covered her mouth with one hand, showing a gloating expression.
Xun's mother was also a teacher when she was young.
In this era, being a teacher is a stable job, and one needs to have a certain level of cultural literacy to get this job.
Xun's mother herself was a person with a particularly strong sense of self-esteem and self-superiority. Her profession as a teacher further inflated her inner arrogance and placed a thick yoke on her self-esteem.
In short: she can't afford to lose this person.
So even though Xun Xiangbin locked her in the room, she did not make a scene like a shrew.
She was afraid that outsiders would hear and laugh at her.
Unfortunately, she was awakened by hunger early in the morning. Thinking that the chain that Xun Xiangbin used to tie her up was long enough, she planned to pry open the window to find something to eat while Xun Xiangbin was not at home. However, she was accidentally seen by a neighbor passing by.
She had just pried the window open a little when she was so frightened that she shrank back into the house.
However, the handcuffs on her wrists were clearly seen by the neighbors, who had always been at odds with her, and they shouted to all the residents nearby.
Now she is really embarrassed.
At this moment, Xun's mother was hiding under the window. She could hear the neighbors outside pointing and talking through the window glass. She was so angry that her face turned blue.
"This damn bastard, if I had known this day would come, I should have strangled him to death the moment he was born!"
At the same time outside.
“Make way, make way…”
A familiar voice sounded from behind the crowd. Everyone made way for it and looked back to find that it was Xun Xiangbin who had returned.
Xun Xiangbin was holding a bag of vegetables and a pound of meat in his hands, looking at the people crowding at his door in confusion.
Obviously he didn't know why there were so many people crowding in front of his house. He carried the meat and vegetables in his hands, and walked sideways through the crowd with difficulty towards home.
Suddenly he saw Ye Yun behind the crowd.
"Eh? Director Ye?" Xun Xiangbin's face lit up, and he walked through the crowd towards Ye Yun again, "Director Ye, why are you here?"
As his voice grew, the eyes of the onlookers all turned to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun glanced at everyone calmly without saying a word, and pulled his sleeve as they walked towards home.
As soon as she entered, she closed the door, isolating all the onlookers from the fight outside.
"Xun Xiangbin, did you lock up your mother?" Ye Yun straightened her face and pointed to the locked room.
Xun Xiangbin smiled lightly, not caring at all: "Yes, she always causes trouble for me. She is old this year, and her mind is confused. I have no choice but to lock her up at home. Otherwise, she always causes trouble for me, and I have to clean up the mess."
"What did you say?"
Ye Yun couldn't help but stare in astonishment, unable to believe that Xun Xiangbin, who was always weak in front of his parents, could say such words.
Xun Xiangbin looked calm, "Director Ye, you came at the right time. I just bought some fresh vegetables and meat from the market. How about you stay and have lunch with me?"
Ye Yun shook her head, "No."
She looked up at Xun Xiangbin, who was smiling naturally, and felt that he had become the same person as Xun's mother.
When Xun's mother locked him up before, she probably said, "Yes, the child is still young, always causing trouble for me and being disobedient, so I can only lock him up to discipline him."
Now Xun Xiangbin has locked up Xun's mother, and not only that, he can explain to her with a smile on his face.
"Yes, she is old and confused this year. In order to prevent her from getting into trouble, we have to lock her up."
Ye Yun took a deep breath.
Suddenly, I felt that Xun Xiangbin in front of me seemed like a different person. Although he still had a smile on his face, I could feel the boundless coldness surging in his eyes.
Ye Yun sighed.
"You are an adult with independent ideas and you know what you are doing. But I still want to advise you that you are mother and son after all, so don't be too harsh." In the end, she just said this.
Don't advise others to do good without experiencing their own experience.
She understands this well.
As a result, her words seemed to irritate Xun Xiangbin. Xun Xiangbin laughed so hard that he coughed. He shook his head slightly, and when he looked at Ye Yun again, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Director Ye, I always feel like my life is not real enough."
He looked towards the window, and a sharp light burst out from his slightly narrowed eyes, as if it pierced through the wall and pierced straight towards Xun's mother in the room.
"My mind is in a mess right now. I suddenly lost many years of memory. These blanks make it difficult for me to accept who I am now. I don't know why, in the blink of an eye, I changed from a young man with a bright future to a divorced man who is about to enter middle age!"
"Oh, and I was cuckolded."
After saying this, he started laughing again, with a bit of craziness, and his eyes were bloodshot with excitement.
"But I know one thing." He said, extending a finger and pointing at Xun's mother in the room, "She, my current situation is definitely related to her. It was her and my father who pushed me out and forced me to go to the countryside. It was also she who forced me to get a divorce as soon as possible after I came back."
He had no feelings for the woman he no longer remembered, and divorce was just what he wanted.
But he was disgusted by his mother's coercion.
His mother still likes to control him as always. Even though he is about to turn 30, the woman who gave birth to him still treats him like a child without dignity!
He doesn't like this feeling.
He is a young man full of vigor and vitality.
Xun Xiangbin, who was about to enter middle age, had his self-esteem and pride worn away little by little under the persuasion of his parents, and was little by little forced to accept the reality, but he was not!
When his parents pushed him out to protect his brothers and sisters, his kindness was killed...
