Chen Yu lowered her head in silence. A few years ago, she had thought about running back home, but after seeing the news on TV, she no longer had so many thoughts.
What can she do after returning home when she is unable to bear children and has a lame leg? Her parents are both university teachers, and there is no room for her in that circle.
She would become a shame to her parents, a shame that would be mentioned again and again. Going back would be like having a blunt knife cut her flesh with pain. If she didn't go back, her parents would have something to look forward to, so it was fine this way.
Li Fumei looked at her face, took out a copper coin and began to calculate. Looking at the hexagram, she curled her lips and said, "Teacher, I have money now. I will take you to a big city for treatment."
"Once your leg is healed, you can go home. You are their only daughter. Do you want to watch them being wiped out and live a miserable old age?"
"Gossip is just a passing fancy. If I cared about it, I wouldn't have lived this long. I've never heard anything nice since I can remember. I've heard too much cursing and disgust from the villagers."
Chen Yu looked at her in surprise: "Fumei, I don't think I've ever told you that I'm the only daughter in my family. How did you know this?"
Li Fumei said seriously: "Teacher, I am now a member of the Xuanmen, fortune-telling is the most basic thing. Just look at the hexagram and you will know that you are not only an only child, but also a marriage has been waiting for you."
"If you stay here, your parents will be left alone in their old age, and will be bullied to death by your relatives. Your... destined partner will also die alone."
"Sometimes, no matter how big a matter you think, in their eyes, it may not be as important as your safe return home. Life is all about doing things that you have no regrets about."
"Some bad experiences will pass. If you don't leave here, they will always follow you. What choice should you make? Teacher, think about it carefully."
Chen Yu looked at her deeply: "Fumei, you have grown up a lot this time. There is nothing the teacher can teach you."
Li Fumei said softly, "Teacher, life is not all about appearances. Whether it is shameful or not depends on whether you care. If you care about it, it is important. If you don't care, no one can hurt you."
"Only by facing the past can you move on. Besides, you haven't even got a marriage certificate, so why can't you just leave here and start a new life?"
"Teacher, can you go into the mountains with us tomorrow?"
Chen Yu was a little surprised: "Why do you want me to go into the mountains with you?"
Li Fumei smiled and said, "I'll take you there to have a look. Maybe you'll be inspired. Teacher, you don't have classes tomorrow, so come with us up the mountain to have a look."
He hesitated and nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."
The meal in the mountains was simple at night, consisting of home-grown vegetables and bacon stir-fry. A few people sat at the table, and the village chief greeted them: "Come and eat, don't be shy."
"By the way, what do you two do for a living? Why did you come to our village?"
Li Wenhao rolled his eyes and said, "We are mainly doing work to serve the people. I have heard about your village for many years. The scenery here is really beautiful."
The village chief laughed when he heard this: "That's right, our village is over a hundred years old. In the early days, even during the war, the Japanese couldn't get in. We are very safe here."
"Back then, there were many people and children in the village. Now, there's nothing we can do. Young people are all working away from home, leaving few people at home, and the number of children is decreasing year by year."
"The situation in other villages is even worse than ours. There are quite a few villages that are completely empty. You'll see if you go around. But how did you meet Fumei?"
Li Fumei said, "I'm working during the summer vacation. I need to make some money, so I met them and brought them back to see the scenery. I also want to visit my dad."
"Is that so? Then you can go up the mountain and take a look tomorrow. But don't go too deep into the mountains, otherwise it will be dangerous if you get lost."
"Okay, got it."
The three of them rested at the village chief's house at night. Early the next morning, Li Fumei brought the three of them to the bridge and waited. After the police arrived, they walked along the path together.
