Yuan Wei seemed to be dreaming about his mother, who kept saying "I'm sorry" and "Unfilial".
This is human nature, there is nothing surprising, but the next sentence suddenly overturned Lin Yue's view on everything in the Yuan family.
He didn't know what the old mother in Yuan Wei's dream told him. His answer was that he couldn't accept it and he still can't forgive her until now. He didn't know how to face Yuan Shanshan, the child his ex-wife gave birth to with another man.
Isn't Yuan Shanshan his daughter?
Was it the child of his ex-wife and another man?
That woman left the child she had with someone else to Yuan Wei and the old lady, and then ran away with another man?
This this?
Lin Yue really ate a huge melon. No wonder Yuan Wei ended up like this. No wonder everyone in the community was saying that he was an unfilial son who couldn't hold up the wall. But the old lady and Yuan Shanshan kept trying to excuse him. It turned out that there was such a complicated story behind it. reason.
How can a man not feel entangled if he is asked to raise someone else's child? How could he not be angry? How could he not be resentful? Can he not be twisted?
But what can be done? My ex-wife went to MO and she couldn’t be found. Where is the child? You can't lose it.
He was still in love with his ex-wife, he loved his house as much as he loved her, he couldn't bear to look at the child who was just in elementary school, or he thought that the family's scandal should not be publicized. In short, the mother and son, who had no obligation to raise her, raised the girl for seventeen years.
Lin Yue looked at the painful man opposite him and sighed heavily. Faced with this situation, even if he was like what the neighbors said, he owed a lot of foreign debt because of gambling, from a man's point of view, it would be much better. Less is understandable.
Lin Yue's sigh woke up Yuan Wei who was struggling in his dream. He quickly pretended to be asleep and changed his sigh into snoring.
Phew~
Phew~
Phew~
Yuan Wei glanced at him twice, turned around and continued to sleep.
As for whether he slept or not, Lin Yue didn't know. Anyway, he didn't snore until dawn.
…
When he got up the next day, Lin Yue took him to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast, then took a taxi to the West Railway Station and took the high-speed train to Jianghai City.
Yuan Wei seemed to feel that Lin Yue's attitude had changed a lot compared to last night. He made him tea, took him to the dining car to eat, and drank a small bottle of Erguotou with him. He hesitated several times, as if he wanted to I asked why, but every time the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.
Lin Yue was so happy because the affairs of the Yuan family were many times more complicated than he imagined. He just had to stand in Yuan Shanshan's position and do what a friend should do. It was really not appropriate to get too involved.
It took almost five hours to take the high-speed rail. Near 12 noon, Lin Yue drove Yuan Wei to the funeral parlor.
The farewell ceremony for the body was basically over. The neighbors and the old lady's former co-workers had all left. When the two of them entered, Yuan Shanshan was kneeling in front of a row of wreaths, holding the portrait of the deceased.
Tan Xiaoguang stood at the door and hurried up to meet Lin Yue when he saw him.
"What did you do? Come back so late?"
Yes, he is a mature and steady person, but he has not experienced much of this kind of thing. Lin Yue let it go and he took over the problem without saying a word. But even though he had carefully asked the uncle on the first floor and Grandma Liu, he still got it. A few small details were wrong, and there was a little embarrassment. Fortunately, the general direction was fine. The ceremony was coming to an end. Afterwards, the old lady's body was cremated and the storage procedures were completed tomorrow. The matter was over.
Lin Yue didn't say anything, but pursed his lips in front of him. Tan Xiaoguang looked back and saw Yuan Shanshan standing up, calling "Dad" to the man behind Lin Yue with red eyes.
This unattractive man, whom he thought was a belated guest, was actually Yuan Shanshan's father?
Yuan Wei didn't respond. He rushed over with a cry, threw himself on the ice coffin and started crying. Fortunately, Grandma Liu's son, who had poor eyesight and quick hands, helped him so that he didn't crush the flowers around him.
Tan Xiaoguang finally came to his senses, looked at Lin Yue and said, "Have you gone to find her father?"
Lin Yue nodded.
"Yuan Shanshan doesn't even know the whereabouts of his father. How did you find out?"
"The old lady told me when she was alive."
"old lady?"
"certainly."
In Lin Yue's opinion, the old lady has passed away anyway, so there is no way to verify whether this statement is true or false.
At this time, Tan Xiaoguang noticed something was wrong with Yuan Wei's situation: "Don't people in the community say that he is an unfilial gambler? Why..."
Lin Yue turned around, looked at the man who was panting from crying and said, "Maybe he feels guilty."
Tan Xiaoguang and the uncle on the first floor might think that Yuan Wei's performance today was a discovery of conscience, but Lin Yue knew very well that the reason why Yuan Wei ran away from home was probably quite different from everyone's knowledge, but he did not say, like this It’s better to keep other people’s family secrets in your heart.
The next thing will be much simpler. After all, the old lady's biological son is back, and he will take care of everything. Yuan Shanshan's pressure is much less, and she has someone to rely on. Some important decisions will be made by her son and others will not. Say more.
When they went to the funeral home to store the ashes on the third day, Su Han and Zhou Lin also came. After all, they had dined together before, and with Lin Yue's relationship between them, the pet hospital was fine, so they should come here to support them.
Afterwards, Lin Yue secretly gave the girl 500 yuan. The money was not much, mainly because he was afraid that she would not accept it if the amount was too large.
After sending Zhou Lin and Su Han back to Furong Street, they had a meal together and talked about what happened in the past two days. Lin Yue did not stay long and returned to the community with Badun and Xiahou, who had not seen each other for several days.
After arriving home, I found that Tan Xiaoguang had gone to bed early and was snoring so loudly that he could hear it even standing in the living room.
Thinking about it, he was quite tired before and after running in the past two days. If it weren't for his own relationship, there would be no need to do these things that others think are unlucky.
Find a time to treat him to a nice meal...
With this thought in mind, he walked into the bedroom and fell asleep on the bed.
It's strange to say that I usually don't need sleep at all, but today I felt sleepy and fell asleep quickly. The old lady who usually rides a tricycle to pick up rags said thank you to her face and hoped that he would help take care of Yuan Shanshan and Yuan Wei and tell them about them. They are all miserable people.
Lin Yue agreed and told her not to worry, he would definitely help if he could.
The old lady left and he woke up.
After gathering his composure, he walked to the balcony and looked at the sun jumping over the horizon in the east, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. This old lady was of great virtue. It was quite interesting to think about how she dared to dream about someone like him, who had crawled over a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Woof woof~
Woof woof~
Hearing the dog barking from the living room, Lin Yue knew that Tan Xiaoguang was awake and Badun was greeting him, so he opened the door and came to the living room, just in time to see him walking to the bathroom.
"woke up?"
"Um."
"How did you sleep?"
Tan Xiaoguang came out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in hand, brushed it twice and stopped, with an expression that seemed to be struggling with whether he should say something.
But I finally said it.
"Do you think it's strange? Yesterday, I dreamed of Yuan Shanshan's grandma. She said thank you to me and left."
Lin Yue thought about his experience last night and gave him an inscrutable smile, but said nothing, because if he told about the dream he had, Tan Xiaoguang would doubt the ideological education he had received over the years.
"What to eat? I'll buy it today."
Tan Xiaoguang didn't realize that Lin Yue was changing the subject: "After helping you so much, you have to treat me to a nice meal. Two days ago, I noticed that a shop selling crab roe soup dumplings opened in Xijiekou. I want to eat that. "
"No problem." Lin Yue greeted Badun, opened the door and walked outside.
The dog swooped out and climbed the stairs on four legs. It was very funny. Tan Xiaoguang felt that Lin Yue had brought this dog's licking skills to its extreme. Lin Yue rarely had the interest to take it out for a walk. It was all his fault. Doing it, what’s the result? What a licking dog that is not well fed.
More than twenty minutes later, Lin Yue came back with steamed buns. The two of them finished breakfast. Tan Xiaoguang hurriedly went to work and asked for three days of leave. If he didn't go early today, his boss would never give him a job if he knew about it. Look good.
Lin Yue stayed at home for a while, eating, changed into a sweater, and was about to go to Furong Street. At this time, there was a knock on the door in the living room.
