Chapter 205: Past Events: That Girl, Like You (3)

Jiang Rou listened carefully.

The girl who can be mentioned at this time must have a very important relationship with the marriage of Lin Yulan and Liang Guangming.

It is even easy to characterize the girl as the third party between the two.

But Jiang Rou did not see any jealousy or hatred on Lin Yulan's face.

Lin Yulan recounted the events of many years ago in an almost calm tone yet with a hint of nostalgia.

Her demeanor was surprisingly gentle.

Lin Yulan's narration continues.

Jiang Rou then heard a very exciting story from the past.

…

The girl named Qin Shu actually had a very tragic background.

Qin Shu's grandfather was one of the first heroes to fight for the revolution. However, due to the harsh environment at that time, he could not balance the revolutionary cause and his personal family.

So Qin Shu's mother was fostered in a relative's home as soon as she was born.

That relative fled his hometown because of the war and ended up in a very remote village.

Qin Shu's mother grew up in the countryside. When she grew up, she got married and had children, also in the countryside. Her life was quite hard.

She had no idea that she had such a majestic father, nor did she know what kind of happy days were waiting for her in the future.

After the country is stable.

Qin Shu's grandfather began to look for his biological daughter. After several years, he finally found her.

but……

What was found was actually a tombstone.

Qin Shu's mother passed away early before she could see her biological father.

He left behind a helpless daughter, Qin Shu.

When Qin Shu first arrived at the compound, he was thin, small and dark.

Coupled with her tragic life experience, everyone thought she would be a poor little person.

That's why Qin Shu's grandfather was so worried. He was afraid that she would be bullied and excluded, so he found Lin Yulan, who was liked by everyone in the compound, hoping that Lin Yulan could take good care of this little sister.

Of course, Lin Yulan readily agreed to this.

She was one of the older children in the compound. Because she was pretty and had a gentle personality, all her younger brothers and sisters liked her.

In the first few days after Qin Shu came to the compound, Lin Yulan held her hand and introduced her to other children of the same age.

Take her to play house, play hopscotch, play sandbags, and jump rope together.

As long as it is a fun game, let Qin Shu play it together.

Lin Yulan also assigned the most popular daughter role during the house-playing games to Qin Shu.

…

As Lin Yulan spoke, her eyes became vague, as if they had no focus, but they seemed to be fixed on Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua in the yard.

Although they were not that young at that time.

But the youthfulness and childishness of the children are all the same.

Lin Yulan couldn't help but smile.

"At that time, although I was a few years older than them, I was actually just a child. At first, when Qin Shu played those games with us, she was always very quiet and didn't like to talk. I thought at the time that she was in a new environment and couldn't adapt well, and that was because of her introverted personality."

"A few days passed like this... I remember it was a weekend afternoon, the weather was particularly good, the sun was shining brightly, and it was speechless, right in the vegetable garden in my backyard..."

"Qin Shu pinned a boy to the ground and beat him! That boy was half a head taller than Qin Shu!"

Even though so many years have passed.

The memory has never faded in Lin Yulan's mind.

It was an afternoon and the sunshine was particularly bright.

Because Lin Yulan had been in poor health since childhood, she could not stand the strong sun exposure and could not do strenuous exercise.

So she would never go out to play during that period of time.

Lin Yulan was in her room on the second floor, holding a book and reading slowly.

She heard shouting.

"Sister Yulan, there was a fight, they were fighting..."

"Sister Yulan, the new girl hit someone..."

"The fight was so fierce... I saw the fat guy was bleeding... Sister Yulan, please come out and take a look."

The children's shouts came from outside the window.

When Lin Yulan heard that a fight was going on, she stood up hastily and walked to the window immediately.

She pushed open the window and looked down into the yard behind the house.

I saw a row of children standing around the yard.

In the yard, on the ground where green vegetables were planted, two figures were wrestling with each other.

To be more precise,

It was a smaller figure, pressing a larger figure underneath it.

She sat on him, pressing his neck with one hand and covering his face with the other, as if she was stuffing dirty mud into his mouth.

Around the two of them was a field of small green vegetables lying all over the place.

It can be seen that the two have been fighting for a long time.

When Lin Yulan saw this scene, she became nervous.

She leaned her upper body out of the window and shouted worriedly towards the courtyard.

"Qin Shu!"

When Qin Shu heard Lin Yulan's cry, he stopped his rough movements.

However, she still used her whole body weight to press down a boy who was taller and stronger than her.

She looked up and saw Lin Yulan at the second-floor window. The corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a brilliant smile.

Lin Yulan will remember this smile deeply throughout her life.

The sunlight fell on the dark and thin girl, making her so dazzling.

Qin Shu's face was covered with sweat and dirt, and looked dirty, but it didn't affect her smile at all.

At that moment.

Lin Yulan then realized that this girl was different from her.

Playing house, playing with sandbags, hopscotch...

Qin Shu actually doesn't like those games that girls would like at all.

There was not the slightest trace of inferiority or self-pity in her frail body, but instead a surge of proud blood was surging.

He is the kind of person who will stand in the sun and shine.

But Lin Yulan was confined in a high attic.

She couldn't go out and could only watch them from a distance.

…

"After that fight, the kids in the compound no longer dared to provoke Qin Shu. They were all afraid of being beaten by Qin Shu, but they all liked Qin Shu very much."

"Girls admire Qin Shu and think that it is amazing that Qin Shu can beat boys down."

"Boys admire strong people. Since Qin Shu could beat them, they treated her as their own. Later, when they sneaked out to play mischief, they liked to bring Qin Shu with them. Because Qin Shu's grandfather doted on Qin Shu very much, even if something went wrong, Qin Shu's grandfather would stand by her, so she didn't have to worry about being beaten."

"So... in the following years, Qin Shu hung out with that group of boys."

Speaking of which.

The smile on Lin Yulan's lips disappeared without her noticing.

Her expression returned to being heavy and gloomy.

The light in his eyes also disappeared.

Jiang Rou carefully felt this past event and looked at Lin Yulan's slightly sad expression.

A guess suddenly flashed through my mind.

She asked, "Sister Yulan, are you jealous of Qin Shu?"
