Men and women eating in the courtyard

The words that hurt your heart are often spoken by the person who knows you best.

Yan Fugui's reaction just proves that Yan Jiefang has seen through his inner struggle.

For more than three months, the family has kept silent about this matter. This is a common scar.

Now Yan Jiefang is like crazy, tearing it open and making everyone suffer.

The chopsticks in Yan Jiekuang's hand stopped, and Ge Shuqin in the inner room covered her mouth and held back her tears.

Yan Jiedi supported her father, but her eyes were wide open. She didn't understand why her second brother did this.

Especially the mother who was hiding in the kitchen, she would rather hide in the kitchen and cry than come out to persuade.

What happened to this family?

"Second brother!"

Yan Jiedi shouted with tears in her eyes: "What on earth are you going to do!"

"Woo woo woo~"

She was actually still young and was really scared by the situation at home.

At this moment, she was crying, looking after her father, and questioning: "Are we going to celebrate the New Year?!"

"Celebrate the New Year? Of course we have to!"

Yan Jiefang seemed to be crazy, and his expression was full of madness at this moment. Even the words he said sounded crazy to her ears.

"Why not celebrate it? These dumplings are so delicious~hmm!"

He picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with aftertaste: "How many years have I not eaten dumplings to my heart's content during the New Year."

After saying this, he looked back at his third brother Yan Jiekuang, and suddenly smiled, saying: "Eat, eat to your heart's content, today is the New Year's Day!"

"..."

Even if Yan Jiekuang was not very careful, he knew that it was not his turn to use chopsticks at this time.

The chopsticks in his hand were heavier than a weight at this moment. He did not dare to look at his second brother's madness, let alone his father's decadence.

It was not that he was powerless, but that he could not bear it, and he did not want to face the situation that the family was about to fall apart.

"Why don't you eat? Drink?"

Yan Jiefang smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Wine is good. Drinking wine can make you forget everything. Do you want some?"

Yan Jiekuang kept his head down and put the chopsticks in his hand on the table silently.

Let alone drinking, he didn't even dare to eat.

"Hehe~"

Seeing that he didn't drink, Yan Jiefang drank another glass himself. As he drank, tears flowed from his eyes.

"Dumplings and wine, the more you drink, the more you have!"

"Drink this glass of wine, forget the troubles and sorrows... forget the sufferings in the past, forget my broken leg, forget..."

His eyes never left the door of the inner room, because the person he wanted to forget was in the room.

"Second brother~~~"

Yan Jiedi turned around and found that his mother was standing there with tears on her face, holding the door frame, and quickly put down his father to support his mother.

"Mom! Are you okay? Mom!"

She shouted again and again, because she saw her mother's face was as white as frost, her eyes were full of misery, and she seemed to be crazier than her second brother.

"Second brother, you want your dad's life?"

Hou Qinghua held the door frame with one hand, and walked into the house with one arm supported by her daughter, and stumbled to the table.

"Mom knows you are suffering, and I won't let you suffer~"

She sat on the stool and looked at Yan Jiefang with her daughter's support, saying: "Send your dad away first, and when he dies, I won't stop you as a mother."

"Mom!"

Yan Jie Di looked at her mother in shock, and then looked at her father in fear. She didn't know why this family had come to this point today.

Yan Jie Kuang finally couldn't stand this oppression, and stood up silently and walked out.

No one paid attention to him, and he didn't want to disturb anyone in the house. He just wanted to go out and breathe quickly, otherwise he would feel like he was suffocating to death.

Hou Qinghua seemed not to hear his daughter's call, and only pointed at his wife and said to Yan Jiefang: "Look at his behavior. If you say a few more words and do a few more things, maybe he will pass away."

"We won't treat him, we won't treat him this time"

She said with a look of dementia: "Let's wait for him to die. If he dies, no one will stop you."

Yan Jiefang's fingers were pinching the wine glass with dark blue fingers, and his fingertips were already flattened. The chopsticks in his other hand were trembling, and the madness on his face was replaced by struggle.

Of course, he knew that his mother was speaking in a sarcastic way, and it was an exhortation under extreme circumstances.

"Mom, I feel so bitter in my heart"

"Mom knows, Mom knows"

Hou Qinghua looked at his son like crazy, nodded and comforted him: "Yes, Mom knows, Mom understands you."

"No, you don't understand"

Yan Jiefang drank another glass of wine, poured it by himself, looked at the glass and said: "I have never been happy in my life. I am cautious about everything and I have to fight for everything. I am too tired."

His tears suddenly fell, and he choked and said: "Outside, we have to maintain the image of teachers' children. Other people's children can play, but we have to stay in the house and pretend to read books and do homework."

"Other children can make mistakes, but we, as teachers' children, have to be in the top three in the exam"

"Outside, it's okay. We are incompetent and embarrassed the teacher, but what about at home?"

He was full of resentment, regardless of the tears, staring at his father who was sitting in the chair in silence, gnashing his teeth and questioning: "Do you hate that you have too many children, and you have to put them in a bowl and kill a few of them to feel happy!"

Pah! ~

Suddenly, Yan Jiefang was slapped by his mother as soon as he finished speaking.

After beating Yan Jiefang, Hou Qinghua was also stunned, and then he seemed to regret and warned: "You can't say that about your father and your brother... It's me... It's me!".

"Hehe~"

Yan Jiefang smiled bitterly at his mother, not caring about the pain on his face at all, which made him feel that he was still alive.

"You care so much about him, has he ever thought about your pain?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at his father and said, "Do you really think that my mother killed my eldest brother? Didn't you collect the money? In your eyes, money is always more important than children..."

"Enough!"

Yan Fugui slapped the eight-immortal table, but it seemed that all his strength was spent on this slap.

He looked at his son a little breathlessly, his head didn't hurt anymore, but his heart was cold.

"You are deceiving yourself, right!"

Yan Jiefang was not afraid of him, and sneered, "You think that the money was given to my mother by my sister-in-law, and my mother gave the money to you, so you are not involved in the cause and effect, right?"

He stared at his father with a gloomy tone and said, "My eldest brother will never forgive you, never."

After speaking, he glanced at his mother who was in tears, picked up the wine glass and drank the increasingly bitter wine.

Yan Jie Di was also crying at this moment, she fell to the ground, and lay on her mother's legs and cried.

What the second brother said was extreme, but every word was true. If it weren't for the father's stinginess, why would the brothers and sisters have been calculating against each other since childhood.

At this time, Yan Jie Kuang came back from outside, entered the house silently, hesitated, and put a handful of money on the eight-immortal table.

This was the money he secretly saved when he participated in those activities outside.

There was gold and silver, and he found someone to exchange the money, just thinking about going out to live early.

But now there is no hope for life, the family is about to break up, what's the use of this money.

Listening to what the second brother said, he thought it was clear that the death of the eldest brother was related to the tense atmosphere between parents and brothers at home.

You are afraid that I eat more, and I am afraid that you take more. Brothers are more calculating and calculating than friends outside.

He didn't know what he felt in his heart before, but now he just felt hard and particularly tired.

He took a wine glass from the cabinet, sat next to his second brother, picked up the bottle, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it with his eyes closed.

He really wanted to take out the money as soon as possible, even if it was not much, it could temporarily ease the conflict at home.

Only when the family was about to break up, he realized that only with a home could he have a roof over his head, and every child in the family had to sleep in the open.

Hou Qinghua just cried, hugged her daughter and cried, she said fierce words, not to curse her lover to death, but to ask about her son's feelings.

If you are willing to let your father die for yourself, then her heart will die, and she will not live a good life.

But now I know that the son's inner depression is all stagnant together, even if he blames his father like this, he has never thought of being unfilial.

I don't know what to say, she is a woman, and she still has the strength to raise a few children.

No matter how much, she has to listen to the head of the family.

Yan Fugui sat there, his fingers tightly grasping the armrest of the chair, afraid that he could not support his body and slide down.

Looking back on the past twenty years, the two identities, a teacher and a father, seem to have failed.

When the teacher did not educate the students well, the students actually managed the teacher.

When the teacher did not teach the students well, the teacher was lazy.

When the father did not discipline his children well, he was resentful and did not correct his mistakes.

Raising but not teaching is the fault of the father.

In this life, I really did a lot of wrong things.

"You want to blame me, even hate me"

Yan Fugui spoke with difficulty, his tone was deeply tired, and said: "It's up to you."

He raised his head and looked at the inner room, then looked at Yan Jiefang, pursed his lips and paused, then said: "What kind of life do you want to live, what kind of road do you want to take..."

"It's up to you"

It was really difficult to say this, but he still said affirmatively: "I don't care, I won't embarrass you, nor will I embarrass myself."

The crying in the room gradually weakened, Hou Qinghua hugged his daughter, sitting there with tears in his eyes, lifeless.

Yan Jiefang stopped talking and just drank silently with his brother.

"But I have to say something first."

Yan Fugui tried to straighten his back and said coldly: "If you want to be independent and autonomous, you should show yourself. Being decadent and drunk will not solve the problem."

"You, the same"

He pointed at his youngest son and daughter and reminded them: "As long as you are in this family, you have to contribute. I raised you when you were young, not when you are old."

"I don't expect you to raise me when I am old."

The latter sentence was very sad, but he still said it, and said it firmly.

"Okay, that's it. After this year, you can arrange it yourself. This house has no share for you. You will leave after graduation."

"Okay, I'll leave."

Yan Jiefang finished the last dumpling and drank the last glass of wine. He nodded happily and said: "I won't bother you in the future."

After saying that, he wanted to get up. Maybe he drank too much or his legs were really inconvenient, and he almost stumbled.

It was his younger brother Yan Jiekuang who helped him up, so he didn't get his head smashed.

"Hehe~"

Yan Jiefang looked at his pale brother with amusement, stood up and patted his hands again.

"It's okay, I'm happy today, really happy"

He held his brother's hand and said sincerely: "This is the first time, the first time I've drunk with you since I grew up, I didn't expect it to be so happy."

After saying that, he let go of his hand, turned and went into the inner room, and soon rolled up his bedding, limped out with his clothes bag.

"Second brother..."

Yan Jiedi had stood up at this time, stared at him blankly, and asked: "Where are you going?"

"Concierge, I'm on duty today"

Yan Jiefang shook his body a little unsteadily, but he still tried his best to smile at his sister and said: "I'll deal with it for one night for now, and I'll go out to find a house tomorrow."

"Where can I find a house now?"

Although Yan Jiedi is young, she is still a big girl. She doesn't understand anything.

There are few job opportunities in Beijing now, but there are many people. When there are more people, there are fewer houses.

Even those who have jobs may not be able to share a house with dormitories, let alone the second brother who is penniless.

The money he spent to paste the matchboxes was given as a supplement to his sister-in-law every month. Maybe today's dumplings were the last money he had on hand.

Yan Jiefang had already taken two steps and was now standing at the door, with his back to his family and his eyes empty as he stared out the door, but he comforted his sister with a smile and said: "God will not starve to death." .

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out of the house resolutely, regardless of his sister's shouts.

Only when he walked out of the house did he truly realize that his concept of home was more than just a roof to protect him from the wind and rain.

There are people who care.

——

"We're going to make dumplings, what are you doing?"

Silly Zhu saw Li Xuewu carrying the child out and greeted him with a smile.

Liu Yin, Ji Yuxiu and others who were sent out also joked with him.

Li Xuewu looked at his daughter and explained: "It won't happen this year. The family is still waiting for us to go back to celebrate the New Year, next year."

“It will be fine next year”

Shazhu thought along Li Xuewu's words and murmured: "I will be one year old next year and can crawl. It will be fun to get together then!"

"You just like the excitement"

Li Xuewu didn't ask his mother or the others to send him off again. He turned a corner when he reached the west courtyard. It was really cold outside right now.

The snow is still falling, but there is no wind. If you wear thicker clothes, it will really feel comfortable.

Talking to Silly Zhu, they walked outside the Chuihua Gate together.

As soon as they arrived at the outer courtyard, they saw several boys coming out of the concierge, all muttering as if they were dissatisfied.

But when they saw Li Xuewu coming out with the child in his arms, they all stopped talking and quietly went out the door.

Silly Zhu glanced at the concierge, raised his hand to signal Li Xuewu to go to the west courtyard, but introduced in a low voice: "Yan Jiefang, I broke up with the family, packed up my bed and came out."

"Been at the concierge?"

Li Xuewu didn't care what happened between Yan Jiefang and his family, but living in a concierge was not a problem.

Silly Zhu also meant the same thing. He curled his lips and said, "Who knows, I can't let him go. The concierge is for public use."

"I don't think Yan Laokou dares to have this idea."

He pointedly said: "It's not okay to perform a play noisily with my son just to occupy some space."

"You think so much"

When Li Xuewu saw the people in the opposite room coming out to see him off, he waved his hand, indicating that they should go back and continue playing.

Silly Zhu sent him to the west courtyard, and Yu Li also followed him out.

The Li family living across the street probably knew what happened to the Yan family, but Li Xuewu didn't want to say it.

In the west courtyard, the bonfire is still burning, and all the unnecessary garbage is piled in and burned.

Years ago, my grandfather pulled back a few dead wood lumps from the pile of trees in the street garden.

This thing is too honest, it's hard to move and hard to burn.

Pile it in and burn it. As long as you keep an eye on it, it will stay hot until tomorrow morning.

Why have a bonfire?

Because it is economical and affordable, there are no taboos.

Fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed to be set off, but no one is allowed to light fires and burn firewood.

There is a fire, which means prosperous. In addition, it is snowing today, and the fire is baking, and it is not cold in the yard.

I didn't see that the snow on the place name of the West Courtyard was lighter than that of the main courtyard. It was just that the hot air was rolling and causing a warm current.

When Li Xuewu came out, Lao Qi helped drive the car out so that he could carry his child into the car.

Yu Li took a final look at Li Shu, who was a little sleepy, and stuffed a small red envelope into her cotton-padded jacket, saying it was lucky money.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to this. He greeted Shazhu and the two with a smile, waved to a few people standing at the door of the outer courtyard, and drove out.

Yu Li and Silly Zhu stood there, watching the command vehicle disappear into the alley, and then looked away.

"What did you just say to him?"

"What? Oh~"

Silly Zhu was stunned by Yu Li's sudden question, then smiled, pointed his chin in the direction of the front yard, and said: "The third uncle's house."

With that said, he motioned Yu Li to stand in front of the fire, and while he was warming himself up, he explained: "When I went back, I heard their family quarreling. Later, I learned from him and said that it was Yan Jiefang who came from The family has moved out.”

"Awesome?"

Yu Li raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you let him stare?"

"Me? Stop making trouble"

Silly Zhu sneered and said: "I have nothing to do with their family. I overheard it because I was playing catch blind with the children in the courtyard."

"This kid is getting annoying"

Yu Li muttered something, then looked at the red flames in the fire and said, "Life is actually quite impermanent, right?"

"How do you say this?"

Silly Zhu asked first, then thought about it and nodded: "Who would have thought that I, He Yuzhu, would also have a son?"

Seeing that he brought the topic to this topic again, Yu Li glanced at him, grinned, and said, "Yes, you can find a wife even if you are so ugly."

"You have too much control!"

Silly Zhu scolded her dissatisfiedly, and then he felt surprised when he thought about it, and said with a silly smile: "Who calls us lucky?"

"Fortune favors fools?"

Yu Li teased him, and then said: "I was thinking about what my life would be like if I had other choices."

"You? Isn't it good now~"

Silly Zhu looked at her and asked, "What are you dissatisfied with about yourself now?"

"No, I was just thinking."

Yu Li knelt down and sat on the wooden lump next to the fire. She crossed her arms and pursed her lips and said, "Think about the past."

"have a bee in one's bonnet"

Silly Zhu saw his sister standing in the window of the reverse room looking over, so he waved, and then sat down with Yu Li.

"I won't say much else for now, but since you are still married, then Ge Shuqin is you now."

"Well, maybe."

Yu Li rested her chin on her arm. She didn't know why, so she started chatting with Silly Zhu.

When Yu Yu came over, they were talking about the past events in the courtyard.

This is how people in the courtyard viewed Yu Li when she first got married, and how she viewed the people in the courtyard.

Yu Li even talked about her impression when she saw Sha Zhu for the first time and thought he was quite stunned.

"Your impression is absolutely correct"

Yuyu sat next to her and curled his lips and said, "My brother is just stunned."

"Go, don't talk about me"

Silly Zhu shook his head, put his arms on his knees, and said to the two of them: "I am just a cynic at best, and I am not as unbearable as you say."

"Moreover"

He curled his lips and said, "I'm really stunned. Can your sister-in-law like me?"

"Stop being so big!"

Yuyu rolled his eyes and said, "If it weren't for...if my sister-in-law hadn't come to the capital for the first time and had no one to rely on, could she have chosen you?"

The pause in her words was brief, but Yu Li had already caught it, thinking that Yui Yu was talking about Li Xuewu.

When did he become the person this girl kept silent about again, and what kind of debt did he cause?

However, Yu Yu didn't notice the change in Yu Li. She was currently arguing with her brother, looking down and unconvinced.

Silly Zhu was told that she had no temper, so he stood up angrily and walked back.

Yu Li laughed at Yu Yu in a funny way and shouted at Sha Zhu's back: "Are you really angry?"

"No, let's make dumplings."

Silly Zhu turned around and warned the two of them: "Don't play with fire, be careful when urinating on the bed."

"Go away!"

Yu Li had just been kind enough to worry that he would get really anxious, so now she picked up pebbles and threw them at him.

Seeing Silly Zhu enter the courtyard hehehe, she pouted and said to Yuyu: "Look at your brother."

Yuyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just now you thought he was a good person."

"Then who do you think is the good guy?"

Yu Li suddenly caught Yu Yu's words and looked at her with a meaningful smile.

Yuyu glanced at her and turned his head away from her in a hurry, but felt that he was obviously guilty, so he emphasized: "What a good person, what are you talking about?"

"Are you pretending to be stupid with me?"

Yu Li bumped her with her shoulder and did not look at her again. Instead, she kicked the pieces of wood at her feet and threw them into the fire. She seemed to be admonishing: "It is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger but not the bones. You know the person but not the heart." , Women can’t afford to lose, they must find the right person.”

Yuyu understood her words, was silent for a moment, and asked: "What about you? Have you found the right person?"

"still……"

She looked at Yu Li hesitantly and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"Haha, what are you regretting~"

Yu Li smiled, picked up the twigs on the ground, put them into the fire and stirred them casually, muttering: "I have always been confused. I may not know what is right or wrong when I take one step at a time."

"What about looking back?"

Yuyu stared at her and asked, "Looking back, are you glad or regretful?"

"No, neither"

Yu Li put her arms on her knees, turned her head to face the rain, and said: "My first relationship was not all indifference and disappointment, so I am not grateful."

"As for regrets, there is no regrets. As your brother said, at least I am fine now."

"You also believe my brother's words~"

Yuyu pouted speechlessly, folded his right leg and rested his chin on his leg with his right hand.

"Anyway, I see that he has nothing to do every day, talking here and there, meddling in the eight families' business."

"Haha, he hopes you find a good man to marry soon~"

Yu Li looked at her and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Without waiting for Yuyu to answer, her eyes moved and she asked: "Or..."

"No, you are overthinking"

Hugo flatly denied Yu Li's words and didn't even let her finish her words.

She knew what Yu Li wanted to say, so it was okay if she didn't mention it. If she really said that name, she would be embarrassed.

Yu Li nodded slowly and said, "Actually, I don't think it's anything. As you know... I just feel it's a pity."

"What's a pity?"

Hearing what she said, Yuyu became interested and asked strangely: "It's a pity for me? Or is it a pity for him?"

"What's his pity? Haha~"

Yu Li chuckled softly, glanced at Yuyu and said, "You were so close to him that it was too late for him to take advantage. Do you think he is really a good person?"

After saying that, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I feel sorry for you. You can choose your life carefully. He is destined to be brilliant, but it will also cover up all your hope and light."

"Is that what you think?"

Rainwater was probed into her heart, and she asked back without any scruples: "Then you and him are now..."

"What is it? I'm just a lover, so I don't even count."

Yu Li smiled and bumped Yu Yu's shoulder and said, "If you follow him, maybe he will be willing to support you for the rest of your life."

"Forget it, I can support myself"

Yuyu curled his lips, lowered his head and said, "He doesn't like me and even avoids me on purpose."

"What nonsense~"

Yu Li said with a smile: "I've only heard that wolves don't eat vegetables, but I've never heard that dogs don't eat...meat."

What she said was a little rude, but that's what she meant: "I told you, he is not a good person. He is so beautiful when a big girl sticks to him."

"Haha~"

Yuyu chuckled lightly, then shook his head and said: "Really, a few days ago, he threw me alone in the hotel and went back by himself."

"When? Oh!"

Yu Li frowned slightly, then understood, and nodded: "Your brother mentioned it, it was the night you didn't go home, right?"

"How many people did my brother tell me that I stayed up all night?!"

Seeing that Yu Li said the same thing, Yu Yu frowned and complained dissatisfiedly.

Yu Li hugged her arm in a funny way and said, "Your brother is kind-hearted, but he is afraid that you will meet a bad person."

"But he didn't expect that the wolf would stop eating meat."

She teased Yuyu teasingly, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you believe that he only has that kind of relationship with us?"

"Oh~"

Yuyu didn't answer, but her helpless and mocking chuckle had already expressed her feelings.

Yu Li also nodded and said: "I only know a few people, so I say he is not a good person."

"Where's Sister Qin?"

Yuyu suddenly remembered something, frowned and asked, "It seems like they recently..."

"Did you see it too?"

Yu Li glanced at her unexpectedly, and was sure that Yu Yu had fallen in love with Li Xuewu, otherwise she would not have been so concerned about him and his relationship.

"It sounds funny to say it, but that's the way it is."

She paused while looking at Yu Yu and explained: "Maybe one day, my relationship with him will gradually become distant and we will become friends or partners... you know."

"Then...what do you think?"

Yuyu looked at her and asked, "Just wait like this?"

"if not?"

Yu Li looked at her funny and said, "I have already chased the person you like, why would you give up so easily?"

"I don't like him"

Seeing her speaking frankly, Yuyu emphasized it stubbornly, and then asked, "Aren't you afraid that he won't want you?"

"Afraid, always afraid, but what about~"

Yu Li said with a smile: "He doesn't belong to me in the first place. I am clinging to him."

"If one day he really doesn't need me anymore, I will just walk away quietly and see how he gets better."

“A bit unfair”

Yuyu pursed his lips and said, "I don't like this, and I feel even more disappointed."

"Where does fairness come from? What do you want?"

Yu Li looked at her and asked, "What do you think he can do for me?"

"No, I never asked him to do anything for me, because he has already done enough for me."

"Including Qin Huairu, she is more content"

Yu Li explained to her: "We clearly know that going further or entangled will cause trouble to each other, so why bother."

"I have always said that she is a smart person and never wanted Li Xuewu. What she wanted has been obtained now."

"Do you think it's unfair to Li Xuewu?"

Yu Li looked at Yu Yu with a smile. When she saw her shaking her head, she also shook her head and said, "He has such a personality and a very clear mind."

At this point, she sighed, took Yu Yu's hand and persuaded her: "So I said you have to take the initiative to stick to him, and he will definitely be willing."

"He can support you and give you a good life and opportunities, but he will never give you love."

Yu Li's expression became serious and she reminded Yuyu: "There are so many young girls who like him. They stick to him in the club. Anyone who dares to fantasize will not get involved with him."

"Do you get me?"

"He and those little girls...?"

Yu Yu's mind is indeed very powerful. She understood what Yu Li said, but the emphasis was a bit distorted.

Yu Li shook her head in a funny way and affirmed: "Never, he is so bad that he just teases those little girls."

"Oh~I thought of it"

Yuyu curled his lips and said, "He is so timid."

She thought, having already arrived in front of him, and being able to leave her alone in the hotel was enough to prove his cowardice.

Yu Li nodded and said in agreement: "It can be said that you are extremely cautious, otherwise it wouldn't be Qin Huairu, it would be me, right?"

"Still a cowardly and evil scoundrel"

Yu Yu pointedly commented on that bastard, and then curled his lips and said: "He is really not a good person."

"It's good if you know"

Yu Li smiled and said, "Otherwise I'm still thinking about whether he has a new love after he's alienated us. It seems like I'm overthinking."

"Are you still afraid of this?"

Yuyu grinned, looked at Yu Li, and said, "Didn't you mean..."

"Yeah, I mean just let it go, don't worry about it, I don't care."

Yu Li looked at her and said, "Do you know how long it has been since I was with him?"

"Qin Huairu won't talk about it anymore. He has lost contact with several of the relationships I know about. Don't you feel confused?"

She said to Yu Shui very frankly: "I can guarantee that he definitely didn't touch the girls in the club, let alone in the factory. You should know this."

"It's impossible at home, impossible at work, and impossible for me. He's too busy outside to have time."

Yu Li asked her with a smile, "What do you think? He can only miss you."

"I didn't~"

Yu Shui shook her head to deny Yu Li's guess, and pouted and said: "What if... he doesn't want to, or he can't do it, who knows."

"Hey~bullshit~"

Yu Li pouted, glanced at Yu Shui, and whispered: "He...try it and you'll know, he's so powerful."

"Scary~what are you talking about~"

Yu Shui felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and pushed her, saying: "You just talk nonsense."

"Yeah, just treat it as nonsense."

Yu Li smiled and teased her: "Don't try it, otherwise you'll get addicted."

"Ah~"

Yu Shui blushed and tried to pinch her neck. The two of them laughed and joked, and there was a breath of spring around the fire.

——

The laughter between women always exceeds men's imagination, even a little too much.

At a special time and in a special environment, they might just talk about it. They both want to open their hearts and chat, and they have a common secret.

Yu Li knew Yu Shui's feelings and confusion, and Yu Shui also knew Li Xuewu's badness through Yu Li's confession and narration.

In response to Yu Li's persuasion and warning, combined with the long talk and contact between the two some time ago, Yu Shui actually had a rough decision in her heart.

Otherwise, she would not have asked her brother to arrange a blind date, just to end this confused life as soon as possible.

Just one person, as long as he looks good, works well, and has a good personality, that's enough.

Although the lover is said to be good, how can he stay far away.

The old wound has not healed yet, and there is a long way to go.

Just thinking like this, it is inevitable that there will be some hidden pain in my heart. I hope that time will dilute everything, including my love for that person.

Of course, she does not doubt Yu Li's alarmist words and persuasion with ulterior motives, but the facts are facts.

You want to ask if Li Xuewu will still be together with Qin Huairu and others after they have broken up.

Asking this question can only mean that you don't know much about the adult world, or you are too entangled.

There is no absolute in emotional matters. No one can say whether you will fall in love with someone when sitting together.

People are not machines. There is no one and two. He has the ability and has more room for choice.

On the contrary, Qin Huairu and Yu Li have to be too cautious when making choices.

Yu Li just told her that Qin Huairu didn't want to find someone to live with again. Until now, she didn't mention this matter. It was not because of Li Xuewu, let alone her mother-in-law.

It was because Qin Huairu thought about it and didn't want to find someone.

When she was a worker, life was difficult, so she naturally hoped to have someone to support each other.

But now, women who have no worries and stable jobs and have experienced the trivialities of life are mature.

It's not like they don't have children, so why bother looking for an old man to serve them?

Just for that... It's okay, as long as you can be open-minded.

Whether it's Li Xuewu or others, if they really choose to be single, she will have more choices.

Looking at Yu Li, she herself said that Li Xuewu never said he would support her, let alone be with her for life.

Whether she is willing to find someone, when to find someone, and what kind of person to find, it's all up to her.

She herself doesn't want to find someone, even if she doesn't have children, she doesn't want to set up a family again, with chaos and serving an old man.

Regarding children, Yu Li frankly said that there is no room for discussion, and warned Yu Shui that this is a point she must be cautious about.

Even Lou Xiao'e, whose whole family is in the club and helps Li Xuewu work, can't get what others can't even think about.

Being together is never because of love, it may just be a group of people to keep warm in a miserable life, or to comfort each other.

You say this is a chaotic relationship with no bottom line, but the world of adults has always been like this.

Zhou Xiaobai hopes to get a sweet love, but she is only seventeen years old.

At that age, they can have unlimited fantasies and even dreams.

But Li Xuewu never took the initiative to walk into their dreams, and even didn't give them any chance.

What is love?

Zhou Xiaobai may say that holding hands is love.

But Li Xuewu is very clear about his feelings. His love is more mature and more luxurious, which ordinary people can't get.

Being happy together is not love. Being together forever and having both unhappiness and happiness at the same time may be love.

Li Xuewu can't give happiness and unhappiness to Yu Shui at the same time, so she knows very well how to choose.

Of course, it's happy to be together, but you can only be happy all the time. Unhappiness will puncture this relationship and cause complicated consequences.

Before preventing this from happening, don't think about happiness, just give her unhappiness directly, so that both of you can feel relieved.

What Yu Li told Yu Shui was the side that Li Xuewu showed, but Yu Shui saw and didn't seriously understand.

If she really wanted to gamble on Li Xuewu's future, she would naturally get more as a girl.

For example, promises that Yu Li and the others had never received, such as better resources and opportunities, such as a comfortable life and future.

But she would also lose more, including the choice of the future, the opportunity to be a mother, and even the courage to walk in front of him openly, as well as her family.

Comparing the two, it is clear at a glance.

To have a pure love is harder than climbing to the sky, especially for two adults.

Because for adults, love means responsibility and responsibility.

Siheyuan, concierge.

After driving away the card players, Yan Jiefang spread the bedding on the kang and placed his clothes pockets casually in the corner.

The stove is burning so brightly that I don't dare to spread the mattress on the small fire bed at this time. It's really hot.

The feeling of loss after coming out of home, and the cold wind blowing through the doorway, now that I was drunk, my mind seemed to be clearer.

He didn't know what it was like to get drunker and soberer, because he had never drank wine without water.

Sitting on the kang, looking at the tools for pasting matchboxes in the corner, I thought to myself, would I have to do this for the rest of my life?

Boom~

While he was confused, the wooden door of the concierge was pushed open from the outside.

He tried to raise his head and opened his eyes, but he felt that he had drunk too much and was beginning to hallucinate.

Why did my sister-in-law appear here?

Bang~

The wooden door closed again, and the cold wind made him shiver. He shook his head, and then he saw clearly that the person standing in front of him was really his sister-in-law Ge Shuqin.

"Sister-in-law..."

"You're not going home?"

Ge Shuqin held the child in her arms and looked at him seriously and asked.

Yan Jiefang was stunned for a moment, and he was sure that she was really his sister-in-law. Then he shook his head and said, "I won't go back."

Ge Shuqin looked at him for a long time and then asked: "Is it just a matter of anger, or is it really a matter of ambition?"

"..."

Yan Jiefang was silent for a moment, then raised his head, looked at her and said seriously: "I am lame, but I am not a cripple."

He said: "I don't have any ambition, I just want to live a good life and see what I can live like."

Ge Shuqin looked at him again for a long time, and then said: "Pack your things and come with me."

"Where to go?"
