Chapter 891 Dead
He insisted on going back, and they couldn't persuade him to stay.
Seeing him like this, Wang Cuilan felt extremely distressed.
"Jiang Ting, your mother will go back with you."
"Mother, you can stay at your sister's house."
"No, it's rare for you to come back for the New Year, so your mother will go with you."
In recent years, she has taken turns spending the Lunar New Year at her two daughters' homes, but she still thinks about her son.
How could she bear to see her son spending the New Year alone and lonely in the old house? She was definitely going to go with him.
Finally, having no other choice, Lu Jiangrong helped the old lady pack her things and then sent them back to their hometown.
The house was dilapidated and covered in dust. Lu Jiangrong stayed behind to clean the rooms and the yard, and it took her most of the day to finish.
That's really something, so stubborn, won't listen to advice, and just keeps giving her work.
After working so hard all day, I still don't know how many days he'll be able to stay.
After finishing her work, Lu Jiangrong felt a little hungry and then realized that there was no food available.
She complained, "Look, there's not even anything to eat. We couldn't let you stay at our house, but you insisted on coming back, and Mother came back with you."
"Big sister, I'll go to town to buy some food myself in a bit."
"Come on, that's all we have. I'll borrow some from the neighbor, and you can buy some and return it to them tomorrow."
Lu Jiangrong borrowed some rice and oil from her neighbor, and the neighbor also gave them some vegetables.
Now everyone's lives are getting better, and we don't need to worry about a few extra vegetables.
With food ready, Lu Jiangrong complained again, "And that pot, it's all rusty. Even though I washed it, I don't know if it's leaking or not."
"Forget it, I can't control you guys, I'm leaving."
Lu Jiangrong had originally planned to introduce her brother to a potential partner.
Seeing him like this... forget it, don't go and ruin some nice girl's life.
With tears streaming down her face, Wang Cuilan touched Lu Jiangting's face and asked, "Jiangting, why have you become so thin?"
"I was just quite busy a few months ago, but I'm done now, and I'll gain the weight back in a while."
“When have you ever been fat? Ever since you caused all this trouble, you haven’t had a single happy day. Son, I know you’re suffering.”
"Mother, I am not suffering. It is my lack of filial piety that has caused you to suffer."
"Oh, how am I suffering? I have food and drink, I'm not suffering. Whether I'm suffering or not is not important, what's important is you. When I see you like this, my heart aches. Jiang Ting, tell your mother, what are you really thinking?"
"What am I thinking?" He didn't know; he was completely lost.
Looking at this house and this yard, it feels both familiar and strange.
It was as if it shouldn't have lost like this.
Yu Yao is here; her presence can be felt in every corner of this dilapidated house.
Lu Jiangting's eyes reddened at the thought of all this.
"Jiang Ting, are you still thinking about Lin Yuyao?"
As soon as Wang Cuilan spoke, tears welled up in his red eyes and streamed down his cheeks.
Wang Cuilan saw this and slapped her thigh, saying, "What a tragedy! If I had known it would end like this, I should have killed that bitch Fang Qing back then."
She finally regretted it.
“It’s my fault, it’s your father’s fault. We shouldn’t have let you run wild back then. We should have slapped you to wake you up. It would have been better if you were like a lost soul now.”
Returning to his old haunts, his heart was tormented by a mix of longing and regret.
However, nothing can be changed.
He'll probably never get over it for the rest of his life.
……
Time flies. This is already Lin Yuyao's sixth and seventh year in Nancheng.
As winter fades and spring arrives, Ye Lian starts talking again about what vegetables to plant, and that it's time to sow the rice in the yard, and so on.
However, both she and Lin Dawei's parents were gone, and there was no need for them to return to their hometown.
She had difficulty traveling by car and didn't want to leave, but Lin Dawei would go back to burn paper money for his deceased elders every Qingming Festival.
When Ye Lian is bored, she will sometimes call back to chat with her old friends, and they will talk endlessly about planting seeds, having a great time.
After her maternal grandmother passed away, her relationship with her aunt improved.
The two would also talk on the phone from time to time, talking about their children and grandchildren, gossiping about the neighbors, and mainly about Ye Min's family.
That day, she suddenly heard some news from her aunt: Ye Xiaotong's parents would be coming again after the busy farming season, and this time they would be bringing her brother with them.
Ye Lian was on high alert and quickly told Ye Xiaotong the news.
Ye Xiaotong has become numb.
"Whatever, I'm not going to let them get away with this."
"There are still a few months left, do you think we should prepare anything?"
Ye Xiaotong shook her head and said, "No need. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Ye Xiaotong said she didn't care, but her mood was somewhat affected.
Then one day, Ye Lian suddenly received a call from Xu Mei in her hometown, saying that Ye Min had passed away.
Ye Lian didn't react for a moment, "Ye Min is gone? What do you mean Ye Min is gone?"
"They're gone, they're dead."
died?
"How did he die out of nowhere?"
"He slipped, fell into a ravine, and died."
Which mountain valley?
"It's in the hills behind our village..."
As Xu Mei described it, Ye Lian pictured the ravine in her mind.
It is quite high and dangerous, but normally you wouldn't fall that far. Who would climb up there for no reason?
How could he suddenly fall to his death?
"He would have surely died if he had fallen into that ravine, but how did he end up there?"
“I don’t know either. His wife said that something fell down, he went to pick it up, and then he fell down and died.”
"What is it?"
"I don't know, his wife didn't see it either." As she spoke, Xu Mei suddenly lowered her voice, "His death is suspicious."
Ye Lian covered the microphone and asked in a low voice, "What's strange?"
“The couple has been arguing and fighting all the time since they came back from Xiaotong’s place last year. Xiaotong’s mother doesn’t even know how many times he has hit her.”
"For that little thing, Xiaotong's mother advised him not to bother Xiaotong anymore, saying that Xiaotong would give them alimony when they turned sixty."
"Don't you know Ye Min? He won't listen to reason. The more you try to persuade him, the less he listens. He treats his wife like an enemy every day..."
Xu Mei chattered on and on about Ye Min's family affairs to Ye Lian.
They're from the same village, neighbors, and you can hear them arguing clearly even if they're a little loud.
They kept repeating the same old things: Ye Min and his sons scolded Ye Xiaotong for being heartless and a traitor.
They say that now that Lin Yuyao has become successful, she even knows to get her brothers out of the family.
He managed to get his brother out of the country, and then he could get his cousin out of the country too.
In the years following her grandmother's passing, Lin Yuyao made a promise that if her cousins' descendants went on to study abroad, they could work for her.
As for his cousins, there's nothing he can do. The jobs he hires, apart from cleaners, porters, and security guards, all require a certain level of education.
