Chapter 3 The noise in front of the restaurant
This kid won't be...
No, no, he couldn't know that his mother had changed, and more than just one.
Thinking of this, Ye Lan had some confidence and cursed: "What are you talking about? You don't even recognize your mother!"
Liu Zixi's face was dim and she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Ye Lan pushed him and said, "Go and take a shower and go to bed, and then say these messy words, be careful I will beat you up."
Liu Zixi still stared at her: "Today you fought for me and Old Man Sun, why are you?"
"What's the reason? I'm your mother, are you watching him hit you?"
"Aren't you like this before?"
Ye Lan heard a hint of grievance from Liu Zixi's tone. She couldn't help but remember that once Liu Zixi was beaten up before, her predecessor passed by him and didn't even look at him.
My predecessor never really cared about this child, and even felt that Liu Zixi was indifferent and caused trouble all day long.
But Ye Lan looked at Liu Zixi, who was not as misconduct as her predecessor thought.
"I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault." Ye Lan sincerely apologized to him for what she had done with her body, and it was the first time she called herself a mother in front of Liu Zixi.
Liu Zixi stood there in a daze, and turned his head awkwardly when he wanted to speak.
Ye Lan looked at the boy who was only twelve years old and organized the words: "Before... I wanted you to be independent earlier. Your father left early. You are the only man in the family. I just wanted to force you to grow up, but now I know that I was wrong. I also hurt you by using the wrong method. Mom apologizes to you."
Liu Zixi was silent for a while, but said, "You don't have to tell me that you are my mother, do whatever you want."
After saying that, he went into the house without looking back.
Ye Lan knew that it was impossible for Liu Zixi to eliminate the grudge in her heart at once, but it was still long, so just take it slowly.
The next day, Ye Lan got up early.
She is going out for a walk today to find out if there is any job that can make money. She can no longer let her teenage children raise them.
"Have you made breakfast?" Liu Zixi's surprised voice came.
Ye Lan hurriedly greeted: "Come and have a meal soon, leave it to me to cook the future."
Liu Zixi finished breakfast in a very strange mood, and then heard her say, "I will go out with you after the meal."
"where you go?"
"I can't always be lazy and do nothing."
Liu Zixi stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth and frowned and said, "I will work hard and find another job. You should stay at home, no, you don't have to do anything."
Seeing his frightened look, Ye Lan couldn't help laughing and smiled: "Don't worry, I will do my best this time. We don't want to make a lot of money, but we want to have enough food and clothing."
It depends on how big the psychological shadow the child has.
Zhongchengfang where the Liu family is located is a slum in Luocheng. The alleys are narrow and the houses are dilapidated. The sporadic shops only provide some daily needs for firewood, rice, grain and oil.
Liu Zixi works in one of the shops, so Ye Lan's eyes are naturally not here, but she doesn't want to go to Qinghefang and Jing'anfang where the powerful gather. After thinking about it, it's good to go to Tianshifang.
Tianshifang is not far from Qinghefang and Jing'anfang. The roads are wide, and there are several well-known restaurants with large flow of people. The key is that the people living there are considered to be the middle class in Luocheng. They have a certain consumption capacity and will not be too arrogant.
Compared to Zhongchengfang, Tianshifang is not a little better. There are many shops on the street and hawkers are shouting. Carriages that are almost impossible to see in Zhongchengfang are parked in front of major restaurants and teahouses.
The noise in front of Tianshi Restaurant attracted Ye Lan's attention. Many people gathered in front of the restaurant, with the crying of women and children and the beatings and scoldings of men.
Ye Lan found a short time to squeeze in and saw that it was an obese man snatching a boy of four or five years old, while the crying woman hugged the child tightly and refused to let go.
"Miss from the Sun family, let the child go. The Zhou family is the best family. And it's not a bad thing for the young master of the Zhou family. What's the use of force you to keep him by your side? Look at this child who is pale and thin, it's time to send him to the Zhou family to live a good life."
Many people advised him, but the woman still held the child and refused to let go. She even cried and shook her head: "No matter how hard or tired I am, I will raise Rui'er. He was the child who passed the gate of hell after ten months of pregnancy and brought him to the world. I will not hand him over no matter what I say."
The woman looked firm, and the little boy named Ruier also snuggled tightly in his mother's arms. Seeing this scene, Ye Lan couldn't help but think of the youngest son of the Liu family who was sold by her predecessor.
That is also the child born to his predecessor who passed through the gates of hell.
"I said that the Zhou family gave the money and signed the contract. Now this child is from our Zhou family. If you don't let go, I'm not polite." The Zhou family manager waved, and several people who looked like servants behind him rushed forward.
The woman knelt in front of the manager and begged: "Mr. Zhou is good, please don't take Rui'er away. This child has never left me, he cannot live without me."
"I am also working for the master's family. Don't make things difficult for me." Manager Zhou pushed away the begging woman and said coldly: "Either give it to others or give it money. Your man has collected the money, but you are unwilling to hand it over. You are all sing red faces and the other sing white faces. You are making fun of our Zhou family!"
"I will definitely convince my father to return the money to you. Please give me a few days to give me grace."
"No! It's his blessing for Mr. Zhou to fall in love with your son. I must hand over the person now."
As she said that a few servants came forward to snatch the child, the woman was so scared that she was useless. She knew that begging for mercy was useless, so she could only hold the child tighter.
"Wait, Rui'er's father is here."
A clear voice came from the crowd. Ye Lan turned her head and looked at it. She was a handsome man with a handsome face. Her man had a black hair and a slightly worn robe that could not hide the man's noble and elegant temperament.
Including the previous life, this is the most beautiful man Ye Lan has ever seen. The beauty of the man is not the so-called handsomeness or exquisiteness, but the clear and handsome facial features, which complement the aura of ancient scholars influenced by poetry, books, rituals and music.
Following the man was a tall and thin man with guilt, who thought it was Rui'er's father.
"Ruier!" Ruier's father stepped forward and hugged the child, regretting it: "It was his father who was wrong, it was his father who was wrong."
Rui'er's father returned the money to Manager Zhou. Manager Zhou did not make any embarrassment, but just threw down his body and said disdainfully: "It is your loss to not go to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family does not lack you one!"
Rui'er's mother covered her face and cried bitterly. Her mood of losing and regaining her can't help but infect Ye Lan. She didn't dare to think about the past two days, how are her parents doing?
If she has been unconscious or even died, how sad her parents will be, how much she hopes that there will be another Lan'er by their side in that world.
