Ye Tao, Zhang Yu, Jiang Fei, and Ye Ying were kicked out by Mrs. Chen, and they didn't go back to Chen's house, instead they squatted on the ridge to feed the mosquitoes.
Ye Tao's mood was a little heavy. Until this moment, he finally understood how difficult it was for Ye Wei to live in this place for 18 years. No matter in life or mentally, she was tortured almost all the time. So no matter how bizarre her thoughts are, no matter how extreme her actions are, he shouldn't stand on the moral high ground and accuse her, saying that her thoughts are wrong or that her actions are wrong, because she has no other choice.
If Ye Wei had any other choice, she wouldn't be able to use her life as a bargaining chip. What kind of situation would she be forced into that would make her fight to the death...
Ye Tao covered his face, for a while, his mind was full of thoughts, beyond words.
Zhang Yu patted him on the shoulder and wanted to persuade him a few words, but he didn't know where to start, because he was in a bad mood at the moment.
He still had some understanding of Ye Tao's feelings. After all, he also disliked Ye Wei once. He thought she was too hypocritical and too good at disguising. He even thought that she hated Ye Ying for no reason, and targeting Ye Ying was unreasonable, but At this moment, he also felt that the reason why Ye Wei hated Ye Ying so much was not without reason. After all, Ye Ying should have suffered what she suffered. She suffered so many crimes in place of Ye Ying.
The atmosphere became a little dignified.
Jiang Fei, as if nothing happened, went to Tian Kan and started playing games.
For a time, the sound of ding ding dong dong spread on the field.
Zhang Yu raised his foot and kicked Jiang Fei, Jiang Fei played attentively: "What are you doing, what are you doing, I'm going to be killed by you!"
Zhang Yu: "..."
Ye Tao said, "I'll go to the side and be quiet for a while."
Saying that, he walked away.
Ye Tao wanted to smoke. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it for a while. Then he looked at the dilapidated tiled house not far away at the foot of the mountain. It was silent under a bamboo forest, and it healed. Hair looks too cold.
"Brother, I'm sorry." Ye Ying didn't know when she came over. Because of the lesson she had learned in the morning, she had changed into long clothes and trousers, and her long smooth hair was tied into a ball with a few drops on her cheeks. There were strands of broken hair, a pale face with a faint blush, and a pair of big watery eyes looked at him with guilt and sadness.
But Ye Tao thought of Ye Wei, Ye Wei was wearing white jeans, a shirt that was discolored with pills, her hair was tied up but messy, the skin on her face was rough, her hands were full of dry calluses, even her His eyes were so calm that he was almost numb, and his back was bent by life.
He seemed to suddenly understand a sentence: face the loess and back to the sky.
Just a few words, but how difficult it is.
Ye Ying looked at Ye Tao and said sadly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for making my sister suffer so much. If it wasn't for me, my sister wouldn't have worked so hard."
Even if Ye Tao feels guilty at the moment, he is not someone who takes anger out of others, and said, "You can't blame you for this, you should blame me, Ye Wei is my sister, but I never thought about it. I have to find out for myself what kind of life she once lived, and I have no idea if she has suffered any grievances in her 18 years abroad, and even think that everything is fine as it is. Push her into the abyss once!"
He just thought stupidly and self-consciously that Ye Wei, who was forced to leave the original house by death, was too bad.
Can the Chen family be called home? It's just hell there!
"I really didn't expect Chen Weiguo to be so selfish, that he would even sell his own daughter for money! Oh, what is a daughter, even his own mother can ignore it, the surnamed Chen is not as good as a beast, and he is not afraid of thunder. !" Hearing Chen Weiguo's words with Ye Wei's mouth is different, "Fortunately, Ye Wei is back, otherwise I wouldn't even think about it, if Ye Wei still stayed in Chen's house, I would Now I might really want to be an uncle!"
This probably made him shudder, shook his head again and again, and said angrily: "It's a shame that we saw that the Chen family was poor at the time, and we wanted to help the Chen family to thank him for his love for raising Ye Wei, not only gave the money but also bought a set. The house, thinking that the Chen family's life is good, Ye Wei can also live well, so much money I'm afraid not a penny will be used on Ye Wei, why don't you just feed it to the dog!"
Ye Ying's face was a little ugly, Chen Weiguo was her biological father after all, even if she had no feelings for this father, but being scolded like this at the moment made her face a burning pain, making her feel that she was shameless.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be this kind of person..."
"It's normal that you don't know. After all, this is your first time going home, so I can't blame you."
"… "go home? Ye Ying didn't like this word very much. She felt that this place was terrible, and it was not her home at all.
Ye Tao seemed to have thought of something, sighed, and said, "I used to be so bad to Ye Wei, I will treat her better in the future."
Ye Ying saw Ye Tao's serious face, and she also said, "Brother, I will also treat my elder sister well. My elder sister has suffered for me for so many years, and I am sorry for her."
Ye Tao snorted: "When I go back, I will tell my parents about the Chen family's situation, so that they don't have to help Chen Weiguo, and don't give him any more money, that is, Grandma Chen can take care of it, Chen Grandma is still working at such an old age. I'm afraid that there are many problems on her body. Let's discuss with Ye Wei later and see if we can take Grandma Chen to the hospital for a check-up. This is for Grandma Chen's good. I think Ye Wei should agree."
Ye Ying saw Ye Tao's appearance and knew that he finally accepted Ye Wei sincerely, so she began to think about Ye Wei. She knew that she should be happy, but this is her brother who has been doting on her for 18 years. There is still a sense of loss in her heart that her favor has been snatched away.
But she quickly cheered up and told herself that she couldn't think that way, Ye Tao was Ye Wei's brother, and she was just an outsider. It was only natural that Ye Tao treated Ye Wei well.
Ye Tao was now all thinking about Ye Wei, and naturally he didn't notice that Ye Ying's emotions were wrong.
…
Ye Ying told herself not to think too much, Ye Wei had suffered so much grievance, and Ye Tao treated her well, as it should have been. She didn't want Ye Tao to think she was a stingy person.
After that, Ye Tao really did what he said. He directly moved the luggage to Grandma Chen's house. Zhang Yu and Jiang Fei were naturally the same. Tong Ke originally came for Zhang Yu. Wherever Zhang Yu went, she also followed. Where to go, and Ye Ying... She didn't dare to stay in Chen Weiguo's country at all. As long as she thought that Chen Weiguo could sell her daughter for her son, she broke into a cold sweat. She was worried that she would be sold by Chen Weiguo one day.
She also packed her luggage and went to Grandma Chen's house.
Chen Weiguo and his wife didn't hold back. They couldn't make Ye Ying and the others change their minds. They were angry and hated.
On the other side, Mrs. Chen lost her temper in the afternoon. Seeing so many people coming here, she naturally didn't have a good face: "Get out of here, get out of here, my house has no place for you to live."
Ye Tao said: "Grandma Chen, I'm sorry, I know that what we did before was very sorry to Ye Wei, I know it was wrong, and I really didn't know that Chen Weiguo was such a person. Fortunately, you didn't let Ye Wei go to Chen Weiguo. I really thank you for the way you arranged, I came here just to thank you, you let me do anything!"
Old Madam Chen stared at Ye Tao with a wrinkled face. Her back was a little hunched, and she was a few heads shorter than Ye Tao, but she was such an old woman that Ye Tao could hardly raise her head.
Think of him, the eldest young master of the Ye family, when did this happen
Mrs. Chen said, "Let's go, I don't have a place for you to live in my house."
Ye Tao hurriedly said: "Just give us a place to stay, and we can handle the rest by ourselves. I really want to take care of Ye Wei, she works so hard every day, I think you also hope she can relax a bit?"
Ye Ying looked at Ye Tao and continued, "Grandma, let's stay. I also want to help. Although I'm not as powerful and capable as my sister, I can do my best to help her."
Mrs. Chen was quiet for a moment, but this time, she was not so resolute against it. She turned around and entered the main room, and sat down to peel the buns again.
This is the default.
Ye Tao heaved a sigh of relief, and Ye Ying also smiled.
Zhang Yu said: "Fortunately, I brought paper money when I came, otherwise I really don't know what to do now."
Jiang Fei stretched out his hand and said, "Yes, give it to me."
Zhang Yu directly handed the wallet to Jiang Fei, Jiang Fei opened it and glanced at it and said it was not bad.
Tong Kemang said blankly, "What are you talking about?"
They didn't say anything, just considering the situation of Mrs. Chen's family, they were going to find some people in the village to buy a few cotton quilts and come back to lay the floor. There were five of them and they needed a lot of cotton quilts. Mrs. Chen was no better than Chen Weiguo. , I'm afraid they don't have any money, and they are reluctant to use the old people's things.
Ye Wei didn't think too much about Ye Ying and Ye Tian who moved in. She just dug up a basket of taro from the ground, and also dug up a few radishes. In the evening, she was going to stew pig's trotters, while the taro She kept it for frying the next day. She bought the pig's trotters in the town before. She didn't dare to buy more.
At this moment, she took out the pig's trotter hanging by the well, took it on the cutting board and chopped it into pieces, blanched it in a pot, put some ginger slices, angelica, wolfberry and other things, and set up a large pot of fire It's simmered.
When the pot was finished, the pigs were almost cooked. She carried a few buckets to the pigsty at the back to feed the pigs, and mixed some bran with bran that had not been cooked before to feed the chickens and ducks.
Ye Tao followed around, always wanting to help, but he couldn't get in at all.
Ye Wei didn't care about him, she just did her own thing. After she was done, she went to the back of the house to get the firewood. Ye Tao couldn't understand what she was doing. The straw was bundled up, "I'll help you."
Ye Wei: "Oh."
Ye Tao saw that Ye Wei was very easy to do, but when he tried it, he found out that it was not easy, because it was laborious and hurt his hand. He glanced at Ye Wei's hand, her fingers were short and fat, but the joints were It is very broad, and the skin is not clean and immature, but rather rough and dark, with some small wounds on it, and even on the arm she has pulled up at the moment, there are small wounds drawn from corn leaves.
Seeing her doing a day's work, he naturally knew why she had such hands.
He wanted to apologize to her for the past, but he also knew that some things could not be solved by apology.
He used to be so unfriendly to her, she must be very hurt, obviously he came back so full of expectations, but he didn't understand or say anything, and even behaved so unwelcome to him.
Ye Tao felt a little uncomfortable.
…
The next morning, at five in the morning, Ye Tao heard Ye Wei getting up.
Because they slept in the main room, and they didn't sleep well, because there were no mosquito nets, let alone mosquito coils, that night, mosquitoes circled around them, buzzing non-stop, and never fell asleep at all.
Because Ye Wei slept with Mrs. Chen and gave the bed to Ye Ying and Tong Ke, they slept well.
So with Ye Wei, they also woke up.
Ye Tao said in a daze, "Where are you going so early?"
Ye Wei: "Work."
Ye Tao: "..."
When Ye Wei finished speaking, the door was closed.
Ye Tao was silent for a moment, then got up and followed Ye Wei out.
In the morning of five in the morning, the chickens had already started to croak. The sky was still gray and gray. He followed Ye Wei and went up the mountain with one deep foot and one shallow foot.
Mrs. Chen looks very old, but she is very capable of working. She has not only planted a piece of corn, but received more than half of it yesterday, and there is more work waiting for her to do.
Ye Tao was doing farm work for the first time. Following Ye Wei's example, he broke the corn and threw it into the basket behind him. At first, he felt at ease, but after a long time, his shoulders couldn't take it anymore. The thin rope made his shoulders hurt. But when he saw that he was like a robot, and when Ye Wei didn't even want to stop and rest, he could only grit his teeth and continue to persevere.
He told himself that it was coming soon, it was only two pieces of land, and if he continued like this, he could finish it in one day at most, and then he would be able to rest.
But what he didn't expect was that after the corn was broken, Ye Wei still had to get up at five o'clock, because there was still a large piece of groundnut to dig!
Although this one doesn’t have to carry the basket all the time, but it takes a lot of effort to dig the ground with a hoe. When you dig out the peanuts, you have to shake the mud, tie up a few nests and throw them aside, and pick them one by one later. , the peanuts in the soil have to be picked up...
What a hassle. There are mosquitoes on the mountain. The tiny mosquitoes circled around him and bit his bag.
Ye Tao had never been so tired before, it was even more tiring than when he attended the military training summer camp.
Every time he felt that he was too tired to take it any longer, he would remember that Ye Wei had been like this for more than ten years. She was still a girl, obviously so thin, but she worked harder than a big man like him.
After finally finishing the work, you can take a rest and sleep in. Ye Wei has to get up early and walk more than an hour to the street to buy some meat, vegetables and fruits. But she changed her tricks. She made good food for Mrs. Chen, and she also bought soft cakes for her. Mrs. Chen is old and can't chew on anything that is too hard.
Ye Tao originally wanted to follow him, but he really couldn't take it anymore, so he rarely slept in.
Ye Ying sometimes persuaded him to take a break, and he also wanted to rest, shaking his head, always trying to keep up with Ye Wei's footsteps.
Ye Ying also found out that Ye Tao's whole mind is now on Ye Wei, wherever Ye Wei goes, he does whatever Ye Wei does, obviously he is very tired, but he just doesn't rest.
He was getting better and better towards Ye Wei, and he would rush to work, and then let Ye Wei go to rest.
Such a stubborn Ye Tao made her a little sad, and not only Ye Tao, but also Zhang Yu, Ye Tao was so good to Ye Wei, she could understand, why Zhang Yu was also so good to Ye Wei? If it is a little heavy work, they will rush to do it in front of Ye Wei, obviously they are in a hurry to do it.
Ye Ying suddenly became a little scared...
On this day, Ye Tao finally fell ill because he worked too hard and didn't rest well. He caught a cold, had a fever, and kept coughing. Ye Ying went to Ye Wei in a hurry and asked Ye Wei what to do? Can you find a doctor to see Ye Tao
Ye Wei said, "Didn't you take medicine?"
Ye Ying said, "Brother has a fever, you can't just take medicine!"
Ye Wei: "I have taken cold medicine and anti-fever medicine. Check the situation again. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital."
Ye Ying said, "No, we'll go now, I'm afraid it's too late..."
Ye Wei: "Okay, let's go."
Ye Wei didn't say anything anymore, she turned around and left, Ye Ying was shocked by Ye Wei's cold and unfeeling appearance, "Brother is sick, don't you care? My brother is sick because you work for you! You Don't you care about your brother?"
Ye Wei laughed and said, "What counts as caring?"
Ye Ying bit her lip: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you..."
Ye Wei: "You're right, my brother and I haven't been with you for as long, and I certainly don't care about him as much as you do."
Ye Ying said: "I have been with my brother for more than ten years. I know him well, because my brother doesn't get sick easily, but every time he gets sick, it will be very serious. If he doesn't take good care of him, he will It's hard."
Ye Wei looked at Ye Ying and didn't speak, Ye Ying was at a loss: "... What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Ye Wei smiled: "You are showing concern for your brother like this now, and you are accusing me of not caring about my brother. Why? Are you panicking?"
Ye Ying was startled: "Frustrated? What am I panicking?"
"Of course you have to panic, because now my brother cares more about me, are you afraid that I will take my brother away?"
"Of course not!" Ye Ying immediately retorted, "I didn't think so! It's not wrong for my brother to care about you, you are his sister, I can understand."
"But you're not his biological sister."
Ye Ying was stunned for a while, looking at Ye Wei's dark eyes, she suddenly became a little flustered and scared, because the Ye Wei at this moment was different from the Ye Wei who only knew how to work before, she seemed to be I saw Ye Wei who was standing at Ye's house and looked at her with a bad face.
"Sister, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean?" Ye Wei patted Ye Ying on the shoulder lightly and said, "Of course, I will take back what belongs to me."
Ye Ying looked at Ye Wei suddenly.
Ye Wei said, "Look, isn't Ye Tao starting to feel sorry for me, caring about me, taking care of me, and standing by my side?"
Ye Ying saw Ye Wei smiling maliciously.
What does she mean by that? Is everything she pretended before? Just to make others feel sorry for her, care for her, take care of her
