Chapter 436 You Speak, I Listen

"Three years after my mother left, my father remarried."

At this point, Ji Qing smiled and said, "Look, don't they look alike?"

Wang Yuping nodded: "Very similar."

"No, not really." Ji Qing smiled bitterly: "At least you had your father's protection when you were little, but I grew up with bumps and bruises."

"My stepmother is ten years younger than my father. She is a very pretty and intelligent woman. After she got married, she took good care of my elder and second brothers and acted like a mother to them."

"In just one year, my elder and second brothers completely trusted that woman." Ji Qing pointed at himself and said, "I am the only marginal person in the family."

"My father hated me, my elder brother and second brother bullied me, my stepmother ignored me, and my grandparents didn't care."

Talking about the past, Ji Qing was able to face it calmly: "My grandparents were both high-level workers, so our family was well off. My stepmother was also a good match for me and had plenty of money, so they never gave me anything less than what I needed in terms of food and clothing."

"My stepmother really did what my older brothers had, and I also have them." But whether he can protect them or not is his own business.

Wang Yuping felt uncomfortable just listening to this. Ji Qing had never received any care or love since he was a child in that family.

She couldn't help but reach out and hold Ji Qing's hand.

Ji Qing froze, looked at Wang Yuping in disbelief, and then shook her hand tightly.

At this moment, he felt that the things in the past really didn't matter.

He said: "When I was seven years old, my stepmother gave birth to a daughter. This was my father's first daughter and was loved by the whole family. My sister was very small, soft and tender, and she was also very beautiful. No one liked me except her. She liked to call me Third Brother, Third Brother."

"My stepmother never stopped my sister from getting close to me."

Before arriving at the educated youth training center, his sister was the light of his life.

Speaking of his sister, Ji Qing felt a tightness in his chest and was very uncomfortable.

"I thought that as long as I had my sister, I would find a sense of belonging in that family. What I didn't expect was that my sister got sick five years ago." Ji Qing held Wang Yuping's hand tightly and spoke in a heavier tone: "They said I was a disaster star because my sister got sick because of me."

"My elder and second brothers kept telling me to get out of that house and not to bring trouble to my younger sister and them."

"My father didn't even try to hide his dislike for me, and my stepmother looked at me with hatred in her eyes."

Ji Qing smiled bitterly: "It's as if I'm really a plague. If you get close to me, you'll be in trouble."

He studied hard, wanting to be a powerful person and protect his sister, but unfortunately, everyone looked at him with hatred, wishing he had never disappeared.

"In order to force me to leave, they even had people beat me from behind. If I hadn't been smart, I would have had my arms and legs broken."

When Wang Yuping heard this, tears started to flow.

Ji Qing is so pitiful.

Ji Qing heard her crying and could not help but turn her face over and carefully wiped away her tears: "Silly girl, why are you crying? I am living well now."

Wang Yuping shook her head: "I feel sorry for you."

Ji Qing chuckled when he heard this: "It's enough for me to have you feel sorry for me."

"Stop crying and listen to me, okay?"

Wang Yuping nodded: "You talk, I'm listening."

Ji Qing sighed. She didn't expect her tears were so shallow. She burst into tears all of a sudden.

I have to be more careful next time and not let her cry.

Crying too much is bad for your eyes.

He said: "In fact, I don't care about my biological father and elder and second brothers, nor do I care about my stepmother and grandparents. What really made me give up on that family was my younger sister's words."

"When I returned home after my arms and legs were nearly broken, my sister said to me: Third brother, please go away. As long as you go, my illness will be cured."

"She begged me to stay away from their house."

She was talking about their home, a home without her third brother.

"So, I went to the countryside." Ji Qing looked at Wang Yuping: "I came to the Five-Star Brigade with wounds all over my body, but I met you. You made me understand what a real home is like."

“Here, I have it all.”

Ji Qing smiled and said, "My patched-up world is finally complete."

Wang Yuping couldn't hold it in any longer and started to cry: "Ji Qing, they are so mean. How could they treat you like this?"

Her father's behavior had already made her feel uncomfortable, but she didn't expect Ji Qing to be even worse off than her.

Seeing her crying so hard, Ji Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm fine now. I'm living a good life now and rarely think about those people anymore."

"Don't cry, I don't have any candy in my pocket, I don't know how to comfort you."

Wang Yuping was amused by Ji Qing's words: "I don't need your coaxing."

"I agree with what you said today." Wang Yuping stood up and looked at Ji Qing: "You have to promise me that no matter where you go in the future, you must take me with you."

Ji Qing quickly assured: "Of course, from now on, wherever you are is my home."

At this moment, the two homeless young men and women found their life goals, which was to build a small home with each other, a home that would never be abandoned.

Ji Qing and Wang Yuping were holding hands as they returned to the educated youth camp. He Xiaoyuan came out from doing laundry and saw this scene. She couldn't help but laugh and joked, "Ji Zhiqing, when are you going to give out candy?"

Ji Qing smiled and replied, "As long as Yuping agrees, any time is fine."

"I always listen to her."

After hearing this, Zhang Tiesheng poked his head out and said with a smile, "We are waiting to drink at your wedding."

"Today is a double celebration. Hongqi and Guohua have a baby boy, and you two are together again." He Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Add more dishes tomorrow."

Zhang Tiesheng nodded: "Okay, I'll go buy it early tomorrow."

Now that everyone has enough money in their pockets, they are much more generous when it comes to food.

Sometimes they would go hunting in the mountains together, and even if they couldn't bring back a large group of animals, they would always bring back a few pheasants or rabbits.

So everyone has enough oil and water.

Everyone is happy to have more dishes.

He Xiaoyuan looked at Ji Qing and said, "Ji Zhiqing, remember to call Huo Zhiqing when you get to work tomorrow and tell them the two good news."

"Okay, I got it. I'll call them tomorrow at noon." Ji Qing smiled and told Wang Yuping to take a shower and rest.

"You just cried, remember to apply some eye cream on your eyes."

Wang Yuping smiled and turned into the room.

When Ji Qing returned to his room, Zhang Tiesheng approached him and said, "Brother, that's great. Wang Zhiqing is really your match."

"This year, we have been worried about you."

Since they came to the educated youth point, an unwritten rule was formed that they should not quarrel over men or women.

If two people like a girl, let the girl make her own choice. The person who is not chosen should not do anything to harm the educated youth site out of jealousy.

Fortunately, they didn't like the same girl.

Ji Qing patted Zhang Tiesheng on the shoulder and said, "You have worked really hard this year."
