Chapter 159 Yun Chenbei Can't Recognize People

"That's right. Last night, when Yun Dafu heard the noise and got up to check, he was beaten up."

"Oh, that's really bad luck. Did they catch the thief?"

"No, there's more than one thief."

Many people actually know about this, because it caused quite a stir last night.

However, Yun Jiao's home is quite far from Yun Dafu's home, so the people on their side basically didn't hear the news.

"If you ask me, Yun Dafu's family is too high-profile. Didn't they catch a net full of big yellow croakers last time they went out to sea? When they came back, they saw other people's boats at sea and showed them off to them, regardless of whether they knew them or not."

When they were selling fish, they would go around telling people how much money they made and how great their tin boat was. Many of those people weren't even from our village; no wonder thieves were targeting them.

"Hey, that's just how he is. He used to brag to us about how great his son was and how much money he made, especially around the time he bought the boat. He was so arrogant."

They're not the only family in the village that bought a tin boat, but they're the most high-profile, as if they want the whole world to know they bought one.

The key point is that he also belittled others.

When they see other people's wooden boats, they point and criticize them condescendingly, saying things like, "Your boat is no good, it's not fast, it takes too much effort," and so on.

The level of hatred is incredibly high.

To be honest, most people in the village were not surprised at all that Yun Dafu's house had been burgled.

"Yun Dafu got beaten up pretty badly and went to the hospital. He also had over three thousand yuan stolen from him."

hiss……

"Who did it?"

"Where did they put the money? How did it get stolen?"

That's over three thousand yuan!

Even though it wasn't their own property, they all felt a pang of regret.

"I don't know, the thief wasn't caught."

Yun Jiao was listening intently when she suddenly heard her brothers' voices.

She looked up and saw that the children were returning from school.

They were all wearing bright red scarves tied around their chests and ran quickly toward this side.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The village entrance instantly became lively.

The big dogs that were lying at the village entrance wagged their tails and ran towards their owners.

"Beautiful!"

Yun Jiao stood up and jogged a few steps toward that direction, then was picked up and lifted up by Yun Xiaowu who rushed over.

"Jiaojiao missed me, but Fifth Brother missed you so much!"

He then kissed her on the cheek a few times.

Even though it had only been one morning, Yun Xiaowu felt like it had been ages since they last met.

Yun Jiao hugged her brother's neck and nodded: "I've thought about it."

Yun Xiaoliu: "Fifth Brother, quickly let me hug Jiaojiao."

"Little sister, do you miss me?"

Several older brothers surrounded her, trying to hug her, pushing the two puppies to the side.

“Woof…”

They tried to squeeze in from under their feet, but failed.

"Little sister, you brought both of them."

"walk home."

Yun Xiaowu carried Yun Jiao, while Yun Xiaoqi and Yun Xiaoba each carried a dog. The group of people made their way home in a lively atmosphere.

Under the sunlight, everyone had a bright smile on their face.

"Jiaojiao, look at my red scarf, isn't it tied beautifully? The teacher praised me."

"Do you want to wear it? I'll put it on you when we get back."

Yun Jiao nodded: "I want to."

"Okay, Jiaojiao, let me tell you, today..." Along the way, Yun Xiaowu chattered on about what happened at school today, what his Chinese teacher's last name was, what his math teacher's last name was, how many people he met in class, and the books in his schoolbag.

Today was the first day of school, and we haven't really started studying yet. We had a PE class this morning where the PE teacher taught them some calisthenics. Overall, it was quite fun.

Yun Jiao listened attentively. When they got home, they ran even faster.

"Grandma, Mom, we're back! When is dinner?"

"Go and call your grandfather and the others back."

Yun Jiao followed her brothers to call for help, but when they got to the door, they saw her fourth brother, who was supposed to leave to register for school.

Yun Jiao asked in confusion, "Fourth brother, what are you doing here?"

Yun Chenbei's expression was conflicted, and his face flushed slightly.

"I...I don't want to go to school anymore."

Ten minutes later...

At the dinner table, no one touched their chopsticks; all eyes were on Yun Chenbei.

Yun Chenbei, who was already socially awkward, had to lower his head to the table.

"boom……"

Yun Linhe slammed his hand on the table: "You explain yourself to me clearly, why aren't you going to school anymore? You were doing so well, why did you stop going?!"

Grandma Yun slapped Yun Linhe on the shoulder: "What are you doing? Why are you making such a racket? Who are you trying to scare?"

Chen Bei is a timid child; I hope he doesn't cry.

Yun Chenbei lowered his head and said in a very soft voice, "I... I want to focus on learning from my master."

He looked up, his eyes reddening: "I don't do well in school. I like woodworking and carving. I don't like being with so many people."

Because of his eccentric personality, Yun Chenbei always sat in a corner at school and didn't like to talk to people.

It's not that he doesn't like to talk to people; nobody knows that Yun Chenbei is a bit face-blind.

Aside from his family, he can't distinguish other people's faces; he can only tell them apart by their voices.

This also made him even more reluctant to interact with people.

But what others don't know is that they just think he's very impolite for not greeting acquaintances when he runs into them.

His classmates ostracized him as a result.

He just never told his family about it.

He had witnessed his family's poverty and hardship before, and Yun Chenbei didn't want his family to suffer any more trouble because of his situation.

But now, he has found what he wants to do. After hesitating and struggling for a long time, he did not go to school to register, but went home instead.

Yun Chenbei clenched his fists, and finally choked up as he said, "I...I can't recognize people."

“I’m a weirdo. Apart from my family, I can’t recognize the faces of other people.”

Wang Mei and Grandma Yun were stunned: "What? What do you mean by that?!"

Yun Linhe was completely dazed.

Yun Chenbei wiped away his tears, his voice filled with grievance: "I don't know why, but all those people look the same to me. I can only barely tell who they are by their voices."

It took Wang Mei a while to speak: "Why didn't you say so sooner, you child!"

She felt like crying. She had always thought that her son was dull, clumsy, and a bit slow. He rarely went out and didn't greet the villagers much, which led outsiders to say that he was impolite and had a strange personality.

She had mentioned the child several times before.

I never expected... I never expected it to be like this.

Yun Chenbei lowered his head and remained silent.

Grandpa Yun sighed: "Eat first. After you finish eating, Xiao Wu and the others can go to school. Second brother, you take Chen Bei to the hospital to see what's wrong."

Now that things have come to this, Yunlinhe can't blame his son for anything.

The table was unusually quiet for the first time, and everyone seemed distracted while eating.

Yunjiao put some food into her fourth brother's bowl.

"Don't worry, brother. Jiaojiao will go to the hospital with you."

Yun Chenbei sniffed and nodded: "Mm."
