Xia Wanfen's calculations were completely overturned, and she realized that this person had come with bad intentions.
Yu Hongyuan put down his chopsticks, his expression became serious: "How did you know about this?"
Xia Wanfen didn't want the children to know this: "Shanshan! Take your brother to the study and read for a while! It's okay... I didn't tell you not to come out!"
Yu Shanshan felt relieved and took her brother's hand to go to the study.
However, Yu Jie, a kid who has no idea what's going on, refuses to do it!
He had just been annoyed by the weird atmosphere among the adults, and now he had only taken a few bites of his meal when his sister tried to forcibly pull him away, and his pent-up emotions burst out in an instant.
He shook off Yu Shanshan's hand, twisted his body in the chair, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"I don't want to go! I don't want to go to the study! I haven't eaten yet!"
"Dear Jie, let's go in and eat with our bowls, okay?"
"Be good, Jie! Listen!" Yu Shanshan was so anxious that she tried to coax him, "Sister will bring you some delicious food to the study, okay? We can eat while reading in there?"
“Not good!” Yu Jie’s face flushed red, and the little bully got angry.
"This is my home! I always eat here! Why should I eat in the study? I don't want to! I don't want to!" He screamed and kicked his calves hard, making the chair creak, and the noise was particularly harsh.
Children are naturally moody, and Yu Jie made a lot of noise, which made Yu Hongyuan very upset.
"Comrade Lu, let's go to the study and talk!" He had no appetite anyway.
"good."
Xia Wanfen was worried in her heart, a woman from the countryside? Could it be that she was talking about Yu Hongyuan's lover in the countryside nearly ten years ago.
She began to feel impatient, as there was a secret that must not be discovered.
I don't know what they are talking about in there?
Yu Hongyuan's expression was serious: "Why do you know this?"
"Not only do I know about this, I also know that you left your country partner when you went to the countryside. Now you are living a very comfortable life."
One can hear the sarcasm in Lu Qingyang's words.
He glanced at Yu Hongyuan's crisp Mao suit and the shiny watch on his wrist. Although they were not luxurious, they were a symbol of status in this age.
"No! No! I didn't want to abandon them! I... I wanted to go back at that time! Really!" He gasped, "But not long after I returned to the city, about... about half a year later! I received a letter from the production team!"
He hurriedly opened the first drawer and rummaged around in it. "The letter said... the letter said she... Chen He... had died! Difficult childbirth! Two lives in one body! Nothing was left!"
"Look! This is the letter! She's not here! I know she hasn't forgiven me... I know I'm sorry for her, but I... what should I do? I want to make amends too! I also want to burn incense on her grave! I don't even have a chance! God is punishing me! He's cutting off my path to atonement!"
Lu Qingyang read the contents of the letter and felt it was extremely ironic.
Because all this was totally inconsistent with the facts. At that time, Uncle Shen said that he did send a letter asking him when he would be back.
Besides, Shen He didn't die in childbirth. This letter was obviously fabricated.
"Her grave is still there, why don't you go and pay your respects? In the end, these are just excuses."
"Your flesh and blood didn't die that winter! She survived! And you, as a father, have never cared about it or verified it in the past ten years. You used a fake letter full of loopholes to prove yourself innocent with peace of mind, and continued to be a good husband! A good father! Enjoying the 'reunion' that others bought for you with their blood, tears and lives!"
Yu Hongyuan suddenly thought of the girl who looked similar to Shen He.
He grabbed Lu Qingyang's shoulders: "You know him, do you know where she is?"
Lu Qingyang shrugged; "I don't know."
He glanced at his watch: "It's about time, I should leave too."
Yu Hongyuan shouted from behind: "Comrade Lu, tell me, please tell me."
Lu Qingyang got on his bicycle and left without looking back.
Xia Wanfen approached cautiously, squatted down and tried to support Yu Hongyuan, "Hongyuan? Don't be like this, can you please get up? This...what is going on? What daughter? Is the country woman he mentioned and her child still alive?"
Yu Hongyuan's eyes were red, as if he remembered something: "The letter before was from you, and you brought it back. Did you do anything?"
"You're scratching me! W-what letter? It's all the same."
"At that time, I had just settled down and was using my connections to go through the formalities! I said I had to go back! I said I had to settle her down and bring her back! It was you! It was you who went to the mailbox to get the letter! It was you! Who handed the letter to me personally!"
Xia Wanfen flatly denied: "I didn't, it really wasn't me."
At that time, she really liked Yu Hongyuan, but he was obsessed with a country woman.
Xia Wanfen naturally felt uncomfortable because she wanted to marry this promising young man.
Although the letter was retrieved, I felt extremely conflicted.
Yu Hongyuan said that he only treated her as a sister and did not marry her because of the existence of another woman.
Compared with a girl like her who comes from a wealthy family and whose parents have respectable jobs in Beijing, there is simply a world of difference!
But why? Why is Yu Hongyuan so stubborn?
On the way back with the letter, I happened to meet Yu's mother.
"Fen'er, help Hongyuan get the letter?" Yu's mother Zhang Huifang spoke in a gentle voice. She glanced at the letter calmly and then looked into Xia Wanfen's red eyes.
"Well, but..."
"Letter... do you want to read the contents?"
Xia Wanfen was startled by the question, nodded subconsciously, and then explained in a panic:
"I... I'll take a look, Auntie! You said that Brother Hongyuan has a bright future. He really doesn't need to! There's really no need for him to marry a country woman who has nothing! That will drag him down!"
Yu's mother smiled and said, "I think so too, silly child. As elders, who doesn't want our children to have a good marriage in the future? Hongyuan is stubborn and stubborn. He should be married to a girl like you who knows him well and is a good match for him. Only then will he have a smooth future. That village girl is poor and has nothing. What can she bring to him except dragging him down?"
"Fen'er, you're a smart kid. Think about it... Why didn't Hongyuan receive any letters from there in all these years, but he received them this time when you helped him get them? Because Hongyuan couldn't send those letters at all, and he couldn't receive any letters from there at all, unless I wanted him to."
Xia Wanfen suddenly realized: "You put them all away?"
"Now I'll take the letter. How you want to write it is up to you."
