Chapter 49 Chapter 49

Chen Xiushui was making a fuss, and it looked like she was going to turn the roof over if she couldn't get the money. Jia Guoye always stood in front of Jia Yourui and blocked all the insults.

At first, he just faced Chen Xiushui's fury calmly, until he saw that Chen Xiushui was getting emotional and more and more outspoken because she couldn't get the money, and said:

"Hey, you work so hard to earn money, but you don't give it to your parents, and you support this little bitch like a slave..."

Jia Guoye's eyes turned red in an instant.

Anger collided and exploded in his body.

He roared from his chest: "Get lost!" He stared at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were still trying to make trouble, his eyes were as fierce as a vicious dog, and with the scar on his face, he looked gloomy and fierce.

Chen Xiushui was stunned. She was obviously not prepared for her son's anger. She looked at him with her lips trembling.

Zhang Ruyu felt a little breathless, as if her neck was strangled.

"Mom, how about that." She didn't dare to look at Jia Guoye again, and whispered: "How about we go home and eat first."

Chen Xiushui said unwillingly: "Okay, okay, you are really brave."

The two left in disgrace.

...

Jia Guoye held Jia Yourui's hand tightly all the time. Even after Chen Xiushui and Zhang Ruyu left for a long time, he still didn't let go of her hand, which was still trembling slightly.

...

"I'm hungry."

Jia Yourui shook his hand, acting as if nothing had happened and said coquettishly: "Did you bring me some food?"

Jia Guoye said nothing, and suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

Jia Yourui nestled in his arms obediently, her face against his shoulder, and said softly, "Don't be sad, they are not worth it."

Jia Guoye said hoarsely, "Okay."

More than 20 years of cold treatment had tempered his heart into steel. He would no longer have any emotions for any unfair treatment from his parents. He was sad only because he did not protect Xiaorui and let her be slandered by such hurtful words.

Jia Yourui gently placed her little hand on his back.

...

After dinner, Jia Guoye took the dirty bowl to the kitchen to wash it. Jia Yourui also shouted that she wanted to help, but was ruthlessly rejected by Jia Guoye.

Jia Guoye washed the dishes as usual, drained them, shook off the water drops on his hands, walked out of the kitchen, leaned against the mud wall, and lit a cigarette for himself.

His eyes were fixed on one direction, lost in thought.

...

"Xiao Rui."

Jia Yourui was sitting in front of the mirror, unbraiding her hair, preparing to take a nap, when she saw Jia Guoye walk in.

"Hmm?"

Jia Guoye walked behind her and took over her half-undone braid.

"Let me do it."

Jia Yourui felt a little shy about his intimacy for no reason, so she put down her hands and handed her hair to him.

Jia Guoye did not unravel her hair. Her long, soft, dark hair fluttered in Jia Guoye's big hands, which were tied with many hairpins, forming a beautiful and delicate flower bud.

"So beautiful." He smiled and praised Jia Yourui in the mirror.

She was already pretty enough when she was little, and now she is even prettier.

I remember when he first braided her hair, he couldn't even do a ponytail properly. The delicate and lovely fairy was turned into a messy little slovenly girl with messy hair. She even said kindly, "It's so beautiful, thank you brother."

Jia Yourui looked left and right and felt very satisfied. She said to herself, "I remember that someone seemed to have braided the same hairstyle for me when I was little."

She looked up at Jia Guoye and said angrily, "I'm going to sleep now, but now I can't bear to mess up my hair."

Jia Guoye squatted down and looked at her in the eye.

A pair of deep eyes were as calm as the lake water on a sunny spring day. Jia Yourui suddenly felt something was wrong.

He took out a key from his pocket, took Jia Yourui's little hand, and placed the key in her pink palm.

"When you just came here." Jia Guoye smiled: "You kept crying."

"I gave you these two keys at that time, and you threw them away."

Jia Yourui blushed like a tomato, "Why are you talking about the past all of a sudden?"

Because of the memory of her previous life, she was really impressed by these two keys.

...

At night, the village was silent.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yeah."

"Why didn't he come to pick you up?"

"Something happened at his home, so he's waiting for me at the train station."

"Yeah, be careful on the road."

"This is the key to the closet drawer. Your father gave me some money to take care of you. Now that you're leaving, just take it and spend it in the future."

...

The memory tastes a bit bitter, but fortunately things are good now.

Jia Yourui thought thankfully.

Jia Guoye pinched her little hand and rubbed it gently.

"This is the key to the closet drawer. Dad gave it to me before you got married, and told me to take good care of you."

Jia Yourui had some bad premonitions in her heart. She yawned and wanted to rub her eyes to pretend, but Jia Guoye held her hand tightly.

"I'm sleepy." She said anxiously: "Don't talk anymore, I want to sleep."

Jia Guoye touched her face, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time, he said: "Xiao Rui, you don't need me anymore."
