After spending some time together, she developed feelings for him, and since he was her own son, she couldn't bear to part with him.
"Son, can you please not leave?"
Nan Yu remained silent. His little brother was sucking on his hand, so he quickly changed his position and looked at Chen's mother, saying:
"I still have studies to finish, Mom. I will work hard to earn money, buy a big house outside, and bring you here."
Chen's mother didn't know how difficult it was to make money outside, but in the mountains, it was very difficult to earn a living by growing vegetables and raising chickens, ducks, and geese. She didn't want her son to suffer.
Nan Yu said that before he finished his studies, Chen's mother could find no reason to keep him. Going out to study was the dream of the villagers. Her son had grown up in a big city, and staying in the mountains with them would be a life of hardship.
But he's gone, and I don't know when I'll see him again.
Chen's mother was heartbroken, tears welling in her eyes: "Mom doesn't want a big house. Just focus on your studies and be well, then Mom will be at ease."
Chen's mother's behavior made Nan Yu a little sad.
“If you’re unhappy out there, you can come back whenever you want. When you get married in the future…” Chen’s mother paused for two seconds, then muttered to herself, “Won’t your daughter-in-law look down on our family?”
Nan Yu hadn't even considered it, but Wen Zhuo's image suddenly flashed into her mind. Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly shook her head, saying:
"I haven't thought about it yet, Mom. Don't worry, we can't afford a house in the big city, and a house in town is only worth five years at most. My two younger brothers need to go to school. Also, you can't spoil them anymore. Chen Xu is an example."
Mentioning Chen Xu made Chen's mother weak.
My son is perfectly fine. I've raised him for over ten years, feeding him, providing him with food, drink, and clothing. I even sold everything I owned to send him to school. Yet he insists on comparing himself to others and buying all sorts of crazy cell phones.
That's bad enough, but in the end, he's someone else's son.
After investing so much, Chen's mother felt cheated to raise such an ungrateful child.
Thinking of Chen Xu and Nan Yu's current situation, she looked up with concern: "Son, are you living with Xiao Xu now?"
Aside from school, that's basically it.
nod.
Chen's mother became even more worried, "Did Xiaoxu bully you?"
Although we are not related by blood, I have raised the child for many years and know what kind of personality he has.
Nan Yu felt like punching Chen Xu when she thought about his terrible behavior, but she couldn't tell Chen's mother about it. It would only cause her more trouble. If she went back, her mother might worry even more.
He said, "No, I usually stay at school and do part-time jobs when I have time. I often stay with him for a few days during summer vacation, but he often goes out to play, so we don't run into each other."
Chen's mother: "I was wrong before. I was afraid that you would be like Xiao Xu and have a spoiled attitude and not want you. Be good, if you are wronged, come home. Although our family is not well-off, if you come back, I will save food from your younger brother's mouth and save your share."
Nan Yu's eyes were slightly red.
Having been suppressed by Lin's mother for so long, Chen's mother's favoritism hit him right where it hurt.
Forget about buying a house, let's just bring our parents and sister out.
He would give his life for it at this moment.
She was about to cry, sniffled, tried to distract herself by playing with her younger brother, and whispered to her mother:
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me. I'll come back during the Chinese New Year if I have time."
Chen's mother wasn't stupid; she knew Nan Yu might not be doing well, but since her son had said so, she could only pretend and nod with a smile.
After Chen's mother finished talking, Chen Pandi pulled him to the vegetable garden next door at dusk. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly raised her hand to wipe them away. Nan Yu frowned, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know how to start.
Chen Pandi looked at her younger brother, whom she had only known for a few days.
She is very expressive with her emotions, and when she feels reluctant to part, her feelings are intense.
"Please don't leave. I'll take care of you. I have plenty of strength."
Nan Yu's eyes stung with tears, and she forced a smile: "Sister, I'm going back to school."
"Go to school."
Like Chen's mother, they could persuade her for any other reason, but not for this. In their minds, as long as a boy studied hard and went abroad, he would be successful.
They couldn't stop it.
But she really couldn't bear to part with it.
Chen Xu wished he could suck the blood of the whole family. He used to live in the big room, but he still complained every day. Later, it was found out that he was not his biological brother, and Chen's mother got pregnant again and gave birth to twins. Only then did they move him to the opposite room.
She couldn't even tolerate her own brother.
Don't even mention he's not my biological brother.
Chen Pandi now feels an intense hatred for Chen Xu.
Nan Yu always had tissues in her pocket. She took one out and wiped Chen Pandi's tears, her voice slightly choked: "Don't cry. It's not like you're not coming back. You can go out too, sister, and there's also Seventh Sister."
Only the fourth and seventh sons of the Chen family are unmarried.
The fifth and sixth sons have already arranged marriages.
Chen Pandi was too fierce and talkative, which made her unpopular with men her age in the village. She could only marry a widower who was 40 years older than her. At that time, Chen Xu asked for money, but she didn't have any, so she threatened to jump off a building. In order to save him...
The Chen family had no choice.
The widower gave a dowry of 30,000.
They took the money to save Chen Xu ahead of time.
Chen Pandi had resigned herself to her fate, but then her widower died peacefully at home. People started saying that Chen Pandi was a jinx, and to this day, no one dares to marry her.
Chen Pandi was both happy and unhappy.
She's happy that she doesn't have to marry an older man who's older than her father.
I'm unhappy; my reputation is ruined.
There are only a few villages in the mountains, and once the word got around, no one would dare to take them in for the rest of their lives.
It's easier to go out if you're not married, but it's much harder once you're married.
When Chen Pandi heard Nan Yu say that, her eyes lit up. "Really? I can go out?" But she quickly wilted again. "I won't know anything if I go out."
Seeing that she really had ideas, Nan Yu also started to think about it. It's better for a woman to live her own life than to live an ordinary one: "You can go out. I'll take you out. If you don't know something, you can learn. There are more people in the city and more opportunities. Sister, I believe in you."
Chen Pandi had never been encouraged before. Her eyes, which had just been sad, suddenly lit up with light, becoming watery and bright. "But I'm very old."
Nan Yu frowned: "Aren't you only 23?"
Chen Pandi: "Yes, I'm already 23."
Nan Yu: "In the city, this is the age of just graduating. Sister, come out with me. The outside world is wonderful. You can shine anytime, anywhere. Girls don't necessarily have to be revolving around the kitchen. You can have your own career and take control of your own life."
Chen Pandi is like dry tinder; give her a little spark and she'll burn fiercely. Her reputation in the village is already ruined. If she could leave, could she start over?
Let's get right to it.
“Okay! Brother, I’ll go out with you. Don’t say anything yet, let me see if it’s tough outside. If it’s not tough, then I’ll let her come with me.”
Nan Yu felt that this older sister was really nice.
Thinking about the Lin family's older sisters, no matter how much I try to please them, they all feel like they owe them something. Sometimes, thinking about it really makes me feel exhausted.
There's still some time before we leave.
After a day or two of sadness, Nan Yu was still there, and soon everyone was happy again.
For the last two days, Nan Yu took her bodyguards to town.
I bought a lot of food, baby supplies, and clothes for everyone in the family, including my sister's child and brother-in-law. I also bought winter clothes for the two sets of twins.
