Li Yanyan was helpless. "He and I really have nothing to talk about. Auntie, you know how my father treated me. He's always beaten and scolded me since I was a child. He didn't even let me go to high school. Grandma had to pay for my education... And after I took the college entrance exam, he locked me up in the attic for three days and three nights, not letting me fill out my application. I almost missed the chance to go to university in Beijing... How can I forgive him for all the things that happened?"
Zhang Jiayan held her hand and sighed, "I know you've been wronged... but, he's your father after all, and that can't be changed no matter what."
"Aunt, do you know? Just a while ago, he asked me to marry one of his business partners. I didn't want to, but he still forced me... I've never seen such a shameless father. I consulted a lawyer and I want to sever my father-daughter relationship with him..."
"What? You want to break off relations?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. Even if I break off relations with him, you will always be my auntie. I will never forget how good you have been to me."
Zhang Jiayan sighed heavily. She also knew that Li Jianhua had indeed treated Yanyan badly over the years...
"But there's no need to go this far..."
"Auntie, why do you think my dad doesn't like me? Why does he hate me so much?"
"This……"
"Does he hate my mom?"
"We haven't met your mother either. You were born outside. When your father brought you home, you were already three months old. When we asked him about your mother, he said she was dead. After staying at home for half a month, he left and left you to your grandmother."
Li Yanyan lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, "Don't you even have a photo of my mother?"
"No." Zhang Jiayan shook her head.
"Aunt, I think we should return to the capital after paying our respects to grandma."
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Stay home for a few more days."
"I can't avoid running into my dad at home. I don't want to talk to him or meet him."
"Yan Yan, I understand you. If you can't forgive, then don't forgive. Live a good life in the future. I see that your son-in-law treats you well. Live a good life in the future."
Zhang Jiayan hugged her gently.
"By the way, your grandma asked me to give you something before she passed away."
Zhang Jiayan let her go and stood up.
"What is it? My grandma left something for me?" Li Yanyan was a little surprised.
"Well, come with me." Zhang Jiayan walked towards the bedroom, opened the cupboard, took out the bag, and there was a card inside.
She handed the card to Li Yanyan and said, "Your grandmother gave it to me half a month before she passed away. She said she would give it to you after you turned 20, and now you're 20. Inside is the 20 yuan she gave you, and the money you gave her after you made money. It's all in here."
Li Yanyan took the card, her hands trembling slightly.
She started earning money at the age of 16, and she would give her grandmother a few hundred yuan every month, telling her not to be frugal and to buy whatever she wanted to eat. She said her granddaughter would earn money and take her on trips in the future. But who knew that not long after that, her grandmother passed away...
"And the house you and grandma used to live in in town was also left to you by her. It's now in your name, and the deed is in the cabinet in your old room."
Li Yanyan never expected that her grandmother would leave her so many things after she passed away...
I couldn't hold back my tears and they started to flow.
Wang Jiayan pulled out a piece of paper and wiped her tears. "Why are you crying, silly child?"
"I just feel that I am also a child who is loved by others."
"Of course, your uncle and I love you very much. I've told you many times that in my eyes, you are my child just like your sister and brother. This is your home. You will always have a room of your own and you can come back anytime."
Li Yanyan felt warm in her heart.
"It's just that, Auntie, I live in Beijing now and I seldom come back. You can live in the house that grandma gave me. Xiaoxixi will be going to kindergarten soon, so let's live in town. It's still inconvenient in the countryside."
"The countryside is quite convenient. The bus goes directly to school. Besides, I can't leave because I have farm work to do at home. I also raise two pigs and a dozen chickens."
"Aunt, you've worked so hard. If you ever need a house in town, you can stay there anytime."
"Okay, I'll definitely tell you when the time comes. Save the money your grandma left for you. Don't let Xiao Gu know about it. Keep it as your private money, okay?"
Li Yanyan burst into laughter and said, "I know."
A few minutes later--
The two went downstairs and reached the first floor. Everyone had almost finished their meal, so they went to the cemetery to see the old lady together.
After arriving at the cemetery, the eldest and second aunts burned incense for the old lady and said a few words.
Next came Li Jianhua and Li Jianwei, who also burned some paper money.
When Li Yanyan saw the photo of her kind and gentle grandmother on the tombstone, she wanted to cry.
She placed a bouquet of flowers on the tombstone and silent tears fell.
The eldest aunt looked at the tombstone and said, "Mom, your granddaughter is here to see you. Your granddaughter is married. This is your grandson-in-law. He is tall, big and handsome. It would be great if you were still alive."
Gu Yuanzhou stepped forward and bowed deeply to his grandmother.
Zhang Jiayan said, "Sisters, Jianwei, Jianhua, let's go. Yanyan probably still has something to say to her grandmother, so let's go over there and wait for them."
After the group of people slowly left, Li Yanyan took Gu Yuanzhou's hand and introduced him to her grandmother: "Grandma, I'm here to see you. He is my husband, his name is Gu Yuanzhou. He treats me very well, and I love him very much. Don't worry, I'm doing well."
Gu Yuanzhou also said: "Grandma, don't worry, I will love and respect her all my life."
Li Yanyan glanced at him and smiled, "Grandma has some good news. I'm pregnant. You have great-grandchildren now, and they're twins."
……
A few minutes later, the two slowly left.
"Yuanzhou, let's go back to town later, to the house where my grandma and I used to live." Li Yanyan looked up at him.
"Okay." Gu Yuanzhou held her hand tightly.
Li Jianhua frowned as he saw the two people coming hand in hand.
It seems that the relationship between the two is very good, but the key is that Yanyan is pregnant. How can I let Yanyan get a divorce?
His son-in-law looks very handsome and the clothes he wears are very expensive. Could it be that... he is also a rich man?
If the son-in-law could give him some money to help him make a comeback, he wouldn't have to let Yanyan get divorced.
He took a few steps forward, and when he was close to Yanyan, he said, "Talk to me."
"What do I have to talk to you about?" Li Yanyan didn't even want to look at him.
"I am your father after all."
"Okay, let's stand here and talk. Go ahead." Li Yanyan stared at him.
How could such words be spoken in broad daylight?
"Let's find a quiet place where we can talk alone," said Li Jianhua.
"Forget it if you don't want to talk about it." Li Yanyan tightly grasped the man's arm, "Yuanzhou, let's go."
"Li Yanyan! I'm your father. Don't you want to listen to me when I say a few words to you?" Li Jianhua raised his voice.
Gu Yuanzhou frowned and hugged Yanyan tightly. He said expressionlessly, "Mr. Li, Yanyan just said that if you have anything to say, you should say it now. You gave me the chance to speak but you didn't say it. Now you're leaving and you're calling her again. What do you mean?"
Li Jianhua was frightened by Gu Yuanzhou's gaze. He had been in the business world for so many years, but he had never seen such a cruel look...
Whatever he wanted to say next was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't open his mouth.
Zhang Jiayan and Li Jianwei looked at each other and hurried forward, "What's going on?"
Zhang Jiayan: "Yeah, why did they start arguing out of nowhere?"
Gu Yuanzhou doesn't tolerate him. Whoever bullies Yanyan is his enemy!
No one is exempt!
Li Yanyan said, "Aunt and Uncle, Yuanzhou and I are leaving first."
Zhang Jiayan: "Where are you going, Yanyan? Didn't you say you would stay at home for two days?"
"Let's go visit my home in town. It's been a while. Let's go first."
Li Yanyan held the man's hand, hailed a taxi on the side of the road and left.
Watching the car depart, Zhang Jiayan patted Li Jianhua and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Li Jianhua looked impatient. The Tang family had been urging him for several days, but he still had no chance to talk to Yanyan alone.
"What do you think? As Yanyan's father, how did you treat her since she was a child? Did you give her any love? Did you take care of her?" Zhang Jiayan felt sorry for Yanyan, as she had suffered too much injustice when she was a child.
"Isn't that how she grew up? Now she still disobeys me, quarrels with me, and even wants to cut off ties with me. Sister-in-law, do you think there is a daughter like this?"
"I think Yanyan did the right thing. A loving father makes his son filial. And you treat her badly. You always beat and scold her, and you don't give her money for school. No daughter would like you. It's right to cut off all ties with you. I also heard that you asked her to marry your business partner a while ago, right? How can there be a father like you?"
Li Jianhua was silent for a few seconds: "I did that for her own good."
"For her own good? Why don't you pay for her schooling? She's just filling out her college entrance exam application after the results are out, so why are you locking her up at home for days and nights? You really are doing this for her own good, but you're actually harming her!"
"I..." Li Jianhua was speechless.
Li Jianwei patted him on the shoulder and said, "What you did was indeed wrong. How could you treat Yanyan like this? Her heart has long been broken, and we are still saying good things about you to her. I hope you two can reconcile."
Zhang Jiayan looked at Li Jianhua and asked, "If you don't like Yanyan so much, isn't she your biological daughter? Did you pick her up from out there?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Jianwei scolded.
Li Jianhua snorted coldly and walked away.
-
After saying goodbye to her uncle and aunt, Li Yanyan took a taxi and took Gu Yuanzhou directly back to the house in town.
I opened the door with the key my aunt gave me. When I opened the door, I saw that the furnishings were still the same as before. The house was not big, only 80 square meters, with two rooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
There is a balcony in the living room with several flower pots on it. Except for the cactus, there is only some soil in the other flower pots.
"Yuanzhou, look, this is the house where my grandma and I lived for a few years." Li Yanyan introduced to the man with a smile.
"Yeah, it's a very warm house." Gu Yuanzhou looked at everything in the house. The simple furniture was neatly arranged. There were some pictures on the wall, which should have been drawn by Yanyan in the past. Presumably, Yanyan must have lived very happily here in the past.
Li Yanyan led the man into the kitchen, gently stroking the old stove and cabinets. "Here, my grandma and I often cook together. When I was a child, my grandma wouldn't let me cook. She would always drive me out and let me play or do homework by myself. When I grew up a little, my grandma taught me how to cook..."
There was a warm light in her eyes, as if those scenes were right before her eyes.
The man said nothing, but just hugged her tightly and kissed her on the forehead.
She pulled the man to the living room again. There was a patch of a slightly darker color on the small sofa in the living room.
"Yuanzhou, look, one time I was sitting on this sofa, and I was wondering what was inside. So I took a pair of scissors and cut open the sofa to see what was inside. It turned out to be cotton and rags."
Gu Yuanzhou caressed her head lovingly and said, "You naughty boy, you cut the sofa open. Did grandma scold you?"
Li Yanyan shook her head. "I thought grandma would scold me, but she just smiled and touched my head, saying it would be fine after a patch. She also told me that the sofa became more special because of this patch."
As Li Yanyan spoke, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
When I walked into my old small room, I saw only the bed board left because no one lived there and the quilts were all put in the closet.
There was a table under the windowsill where she used to do her homework and read.
At this time, the cabinet was still full of books, and Li Yanyan walked over and touched them.
Li Yanyan touched the table and recalled the past.
"I remember that my studies were very demanding during my senior year of high school. My dream was to leave Beijing and go to university in Beijing, so I was often still doing homework and memorizing lessons at 10 a.m. My grandma would always heat a cup of milk for me and put it on my desk, telling me to go to bed early..."
Gu Yuanzhou listened quietly. He could feel that every inch of space here carried the deep emotions between Li Yanyan and her grandmother.
He took Li Yanyan's hand and said, "This place is full of love. I can imagine the wonderful and warm moments you spent with grandma."
Li Yanyan leaned in his arms, tears in her eyes, but they were tears of happiness. "Yes, I think I will remember these beautiful memories for the rest of my life."
Gu Yuanzhou touched her face, his eyes full of affection and tenderness, as if he wanted to absorb Li Yanyan's entire body into his gaze.
"Thank you for appearing in my life, Yanyan. Thank you for working so hard to come to the capital and meet me. I am really lucky to have met you and to be married to you in this life."
Li Yanyan looked up at him and put her arm around his waist, "You're welcome."
There seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes. He looked at her face, slowly lowered his head, and his eyes were fixed on her red lips.
He gently kissed her lips. It was an extremely gentle kiss, filled with cherishment, attachment, and supreme love...
Soon, he left her lips.
Li Yanyan's cheeks flushed. She lowered her head and took his hand, "Yuanzhou, there is a utility room over here. Come with me."
When I opened the utility room, I saw several cabinets inside. The room was not big, only about two square meters.
"This cabinet is full of my books, this cabinet contains my childhood clothes, and this box contains my childhood toys, which my grandma bought for me, and some of which my friends gave me..."
