Yao Yiyi thought she would be very excited to see the Yao family. Unexpectedly, when she saw the Yao family with gray hair on their temples and many wrinkles on their faces, she felt that the circles under her eyes were a little hot, but she was not as emotional as she was. It was so intense as imagined.
When the Yao couple saw her, they didn't have the stern and cold look they had when they were children.
"Yiyi." Father Yao stood up, rubbed his hands together, and shouted a little awkwardly.
Yao Yiyi looked at the man who raised her. She had not seen the tall and burly man in her memory for almost ten years. He had aged a lot, and his back was a little hunched. He also looked a lot thinner, and his temples were also thin. He was gray, like an ordinary old man who had never seen the big world.
"Dad, why are you and mom here?" Yao Yiyi asked. It wasn't until she called out "Dad" that she realized that her hatred for the Yao family was mixed with love. After all, they had raised her and given her a home that was fairly sheltered from the wind and rain. , it’s just that the people in this family are not particularly friendly to her.
Father Yao was still rubbing his hands, maybe because he didn't know how to lie, so his old face turned a little red.
"Yiyi, I don't want to lie to you. It was Mr. Huang who called us and asked us to come. I also know that we are not particularly good to you and are not worthy of being your parents, so it is a bit hypocritical to say that we came specially to see you. I said Don't say this." The Yao family said a little ashamed.
Yao Yiyi laughed out loud after hearing this.
Father Yao is still as straightforward as he remembers. Back then, he also told her directly, "Don't please us. We are only responsible for your food and clothing, not for falling in love with you."
She was young at the time and did not understand the profound meaning of these words, but after knowing everything, she understood.
But what she didn't understand was why Huang's father went to such great lengths to give his daughter away and even fake it as missing. Is there really so much hatred that a man would not recognize his own daughter
Sadness flashed through Yao Yiyi's heart. No one from the two families, the Yao family and the Huang family, was willing to admit that she was actually their daughter. If she hadn't been married to Ou Qingheng, she might still be a rootless dandelion wandering around. That’s all.
The rejection of her by the two families, in the final analysis, still hurt her. They used indifference as a sharp weapon to hurt her again.
"Dad, have you eaten? How about I ask Mother Wu to prepare some food for you." Yao Yiyi smiled and changed the subject.
Father Yao shook his head and said, "Your mother and I have eaten. We came to you today because we were ordered by Mr. Huang to talk to you."
The smile on Yao Yiyi's lips slowly faded.
"Dad, have you known about the Huang family for a long time?" she said.
Father Yao nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, back then you were led by a young man in a suit into the Yao family's door. Your mother had cirrhosis of the liver and needed a lot of money for treatment. He said that as long as I raise you, your mother's medical expenses will be covered. When he came out, your mother's body was already weakening, so we had no choice but to take you in," Yao's father explained.
"Why don't I have any impression at all?" Yao Yiyi was unexpectedly calm. Her calmness was like asking about an innocuous matter.
"When you were brought here, you neither cried nor fussed. Your eyes were a little dull and you looked like a fool. We thought we adopted a fool. Unexpectedly, you returned to normal after three days. But for the previous I don’t remember everything. You regard your mother and me as your biological parents. We all thought that you must have been stimulated by something before this. But think about it, this is also a good thing. It will save you from yelling to find your parents. ." Yao's father said as if recalling.
"You promised the Huang family to adopt me, why are you so indifferent to me?" Yao Yiyi asked in confusion.
This is what she has always wanted to know the most. She had wanted to ask the man and woman in front of her before, whether she was their biological daughter
When the truth is revealed, it turns out that she is really not their daughter.
But even if it wasn't, after raising her for so long, she should have some feelings for her. Why should they be so indifferent to her and turn a blind eye to her
"It's Mr. Huang. He gives money to treat your mother's illness. There are only two conditions. First, he will adopt you; second, he will give you food and clothing, but he must not be too kind to you. Mr. Huang is your mother's savior, even now. , he also helps the Huang family from time to time. We actually want to be nice to you, but we can’t be sorry to Mr. Huang. Over time, each of us has turned a blind eye to you. When we realize it, you have grown up, and we want to be nice to you. There is no way to do anything better, so we just maintain our normal state, thinking about whether you go to college or not go home. Seeing you reminds us of our past indifference, and we can't help but feel guilty." Yao Father said, slowly lowering his head.
Yao Yiyi suddenly laughed.
"Dad, don't you feel guilty? Why did you show up again after ten years? Just because of the words of the savior, are you going to deprive me of the opportunity to recognize my biological mother?" Yao Yiyi said while holding back her anger. .
Father Yao lowered his head, his back became even more hunched, and his gray temples looked particularly dazzling in the daytime.
"I'm sorry." Yao's father said.
Yao Yiyi was stunned for a moment, looking at this unsmiling man in a complex manner. The tall and mighty man in her impression was now slowly shrinking.
"Dad, do you really feel sorry for me?" Yao Yiyi said with a wry smile.
Mother Yao, who had been silent for the whole time, spoke up: "Yiyi, don't blame your dad. It's not easy for him to betray a favor. He's so cold to you for my sake, and I don't feel comfortable with it. If you want to blame, just blame me." Well, I am the one who has dragged down the whole family. I am not qualified to ask for your forgiveness, but I have one thing to ask you. Can you please not disturb the Huang family? Mr. Huang is our savior. I don’t want the Huang family to suffer because of I have been disturbed because of you, but as long as you are willing, the Yao family will always be your home."
Yao Yiyi looked at Yao's mother calmly.
She thought, it turns out that the Yao family can show off like this. They keep saying they feel guilty for her, but nothing they do is done by humans. Maybe in the entire Yao family, only Yao Xiner has a little bit of humanity. .
Mother Yao knelt directly in front of her and cried: "Yiyi, I beg you, don't disturb the Huang family, they have their own lives."
Yao Yiyi's heart was hurt again. She looked at Yao's mother complicatedly, and finally couldn't help but burst out: "Mom? Have you ever admitted that I am your daughter? Just now, Wu's mother called me When I said that you came, I was still a little bit hopeful. I was wondering if you came to see me specifically, but what did you do? When you opened your mouth, you didn't say you missed me, or asked me if I had any questions. I don’t have enough food and clothing. You are not asking me if my husband loves me after I get married. You keep saying that you are from the Huang family. How much money did the Huang family give you, so that you are so cold-blooded to me like a cold-blooded animal? You guys If you need money, you can ask me to get it. Why don't you care about my feelings at all? Do you have any heart? Ah, ah, ah."
Yao Yiyi's outburst shocked the Yao family and his wife.
Wu Ma quickly ran over, hugged Yao Yiyi tightly, and comforted: "Young madam, calm down, this is your home, no one can hurt you unless you are willing. I have already I called the young master, he will be back soon."
In Wu Ma's voice, Yao Yiyi slowly regained her composure.
Yao Yi leaned in her arms and whispered: "Wu Ma, let them go, I don't want to see them now."
"Okay, okay, it's Wu Ma's fault, Wu Ma will let them go now." Wu Ma said repeatedly.
"Mr. Yao, Mrs. Yao, please get out. People with bad intentions are not welcome here for the time being." Wu Ma coldly issued an eviction order.
The Yao couple stood up, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
"Yiyi, please, please don't disturb the Huang family." Mrs. Yao said.
Yao Yi leaned in Wu Ma's arms and looked at her tiredly. Her lips moved and she said weakly: "Mom, I didn't want to get involved in the Huang family's affairs, but you kept pressing me. I am going to recognize my ancestor and return to my clan, and I am going to turn the Huang family into chaos. Don’t you all think that I am not good? I will let you see. In your eyes, it is like worthless iron. In the eyes of some people, it is like worthless iron. There is a priceless treasure inside.”
Yao's mother looked at her hard, and suddenly rushed forward like crazy. Wu's mother was so anxious that she let go of Yao Yiyi and blocked the person.
Although Mother Wu was old, her arm strength was unexpectedly strong, so she pushed Mother Yao away.
"What do you want to do? You have entered other people's houses and you want to play tricks. The young lady is kind-hearted and doesn't want to do anything to you, but I am also a mother. You are so selfish, which really makes me feel ashamed. I have never seen you so shameless. Even if the young lady is not your biological child, after raising her for so many years, don’t you have any feelings for her?"
Wu Ma said sharply.
Father Yao hugged Mother Yao, glanced at Yao Yiyi complicatedly, and said, "Yiyi, your mood is not yet stable. Your mother and I will come to see you another day. Let's leave first."
As soon as the Yao couple left, Yao Yiyi couldn't help crying anymore.
