Chapter 291 Only by letting go
From the first day Chen Dong met Yu Heng, he knew that this woman had always been a tough person. From the two brief fights with Chen Dong, to the later she saved Chen Dong's life from the cripple man, and even later in bed, this woman hoped to take the initiative.
So at this moment, Chen Dong did not seem panic when facing Yu Gui's sudden confession, because this is Yu Gui.
This is a somewhat domineering woman, but at the same time, it also gives Chen Dong an infinite tranquility and beauty.
Yu Heng never took the initiative to ask Chen Dong about his past, nor complained that Chen Dong's surname often disappeared. She just gave her slightly domineering gentleness when Chen Dong needed him. The two of them got along very naturally, naturally like an old couple who had been married for many years.
In the life of an old couple, when they see their husbands come home, their wife will not be as excited as a newlywed, nor will she rush forward to give her kisses, but instead asks in the kitchen lightly: "Are you back?"
Every time Chen Dong comes back, this is what Yu Heng asks.
Chen Dong has never thought about how the relationship between the two should develop, or he is unwilling and dare not think about it. Indeed, Chen Dong is a person with a lot of love. In the past, he had his real girlfriend Tang Wenwen, but later became Song Qiaoqiao, who was far away from him, so he didn't know how to deal with his relationship with Yu Heng.
Does Chen Dong like her? Of course she likes it! But Chen Dong didn't know how to say it. At this time, he hugged Yu Heng tightly and did not answer immediately. He looked at Yu Heng's eyes full of tranquility, with a warm smell.
"Since I was very young, my boss once told me that you must not be too greedy in life, otherwise you will have nothing to do until the end. I have always kept in mind the boss's words, so I have lived to this day, but, if possible, I really want to be greedy once."
Chen Dong spoke quietly, Yu Feng did not interrupt him. She blinked her eyes gently and saw Chen Dong appearing with a rare gentle look. She already knew the answer.
Chen Dong hugged Yu Feng a little tighter because he didn't know whether he would lose her in the next moment: "It's really no reason to like someone, and there's nothing right or wrong, so please allow me to be greedy once, because I like you very much."
Chen Dong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was blocked by Yu Heng's lips. After a long time, Yu Heng said softly: "It's enough for me to know that you like me too, I don't want to know the others."
Chen Dong sighed in his heart. He knew that Yu Heng might have noticed that there were other women beside him, but she still didn't say it out loud, just because she liked him.
"Do you know how I became a boxer?" This was the first time Yu Feng took the initiative to mention his own affairs. Chen Dong was slightly stunned and then shook his head.
Yu Feng lay in Chen Dong's arms, but his eyes drifted away from Chen Dong's body, as if he was looking at the vast darkness outside the window.
"When I was young, my family was very poor, and I was really poor. My father turned out to be a worker on the construction floor. Once, he broke his leg because of an accident. He fired him on the construction site because of compensation. After that, my father learned to drink heavily and beat my mother every time he got drunk. I often hid under the table alone and dared not speak out."
"My mother is a very gentle woman. When faced with her father's beating and scolding, she quickly learned to accept it. She often told me that my father is actually a good person, but he will lose his mind after getting drunk, so I don't hate him."
Chen Dong had never heard Yu Heng tell his story, but at this moment he had just heard the beginning of the story, and he had some unknown premonition. However, he did not interrupt Yu Heng. He just listened quietly and hugged the woman he loved tightly.
"Just as my mother said, when my dad gets drunk, he is like a completely different person. Alcohol will also make the originally kind person violent. Finally, one time, my dad gave the foreman of the construction site a lesson after being drunk, and broke the other person's legs."
"In order to compensate for medical expenses, my mother sold all the money I could sell at home, and also paid off all the money I saved for school. That year, I just went to junior high school and only took one class, so I had to drop out of school."
Yu Jin's voice began to become more and more misty. There was no sadness from it, only a faint regret. She paused and suddenly sighed: "Later, my father spent all his money on drinking, and he still owed a lot of debts for this. I still remember that a group of big and thick men rushed in from home, holding sticks and belts, constantly cursing and beating my mother, asking her to pay back the money."
"Every time this time comes, my mother doesn't speak, just hold me quietly and hides me in her arms. The wooden sticks and belts fall on her. Such a day didn't last long, and my mother finally fell ill."
When she said this, Yu Heng's eyes became quiet, and there was a complex light flashing inside. She had never said this to others before today, but at this moment, she told Chen Dong her story, a man with a rough life experience like her.
Yu Heng was not seeking comfort or winning Chen Dong's sympathy. She just believed that this man might really understand her, her joy, and her sorrow. She liked him, so she wanted to hand over everything she had to her, including her past.
"My mother has never been ill since then. My father never beats her again after getting drunk. Perhaps because he was worried that he would be in trouble, he started hitting me."
Chen Dong still didn't hear any hatred from Yu Jin's words. At this time, Yu Jin seemed to be a storyteller, just watching the world coldly and narrating the stories she saw from her mouth. For some reason, this Yu Jin made Chen Dong feel extremely distressed.
"I have thought about escaping from the house that is no longer home, but I can't bear to leave my mother, so I started to go out to pick up bottles and then sell them to the scrap station to maintain the lives of my mother and I. The owner of a nearby restaurant saw me pitiful and took me in to wash dishes in the store and took care of the food, so that I could finally save some money."
"I originally planned to treat my mother first after saving enough money, and then take her away forever. Perhaps, if that accident had not happened, I would be living happily with my mother in a corner of a city."
Chen Dong patted Yu Feng's back pitifully and asked softly: "What happened?"
This time, Yu Heng's voice finally stopped being so indifferent, but a hint of grief appeared: "That day, I washed the plate early and returned home. I found that my father had found the money I had hidden in the hole in the wall. The money was saved to treat my mother. Of course, I couldn't let him snatch it to buy wine. So I knelt on the ground, dragged his legs, and refused to let him go, begging him to leave the money."
"My father drank a lot of alcohol, so he no longer recognized me. He started hitting me, more ruthless than ever before, but I refused to let go because what he was holding was the hope of me and my mother, so he raised the hammer on the table."
Speaking of this, Yu Heng suddenly fell silent, and an uneasy atmosphere was brewing in the air. Yu Heng took a deep breath again, and then continued to say: "When I woke up, I found that my mother was lying on my body, with blood flowing all over the floor. Just like when I faced my creditor countless times in the past, she used her body to help me block the last time."
"The hammer hit her head directly, but she kept holding on to it and didn't die until she saw me awake and my mother said the last thing to me."
"She said, don't hate your father, he is your last relative in this world. When you grow up, earn money, and marry a good family, you must respect him well."
"After my mother finished saying this, she closed her eyes. She lay in my arms. I had never seen her look so peaceful, but at that time I already knew that the person who was the best for me in this world was no longer there."
After hearing this passage, Chen Dong felt as if he was torn apart, but at the same time, he was deeply shocked by the greatness of that mother. At the last moment of his life, this woman who had been obedient for the rest of her life gave her daughter the most important warning.
At this time, Chen Dong finally knew why there was no hatred in Yu Heng's voice, and why did she still want to call the man who killed her mother a father? It turned out that all of this was the last wealth left by the great mother on her dying day.
Yu Heng did not live in hatred from now on, nor did he perform a scene of killing his father to take revenge. Now he has finally grown up Chengren, and it is her mother's last words!
Chen Dong didn't say anything for a long time. He sighed softly, then looked at the woman in front of him who had already burst into tears, gently wiped away the tears that burst out from her eyes, and asked softly: "What about your father?"
Yu Heng let Chen Dong grab the sheet and wipe it on her face. She just pursed her lips and continued: "My father was sentenced to death. Before he was arrested, he took me to the only martial arts hall in the town. He gave me five dollars from the owner and drank the last drink. From then on, I have never seen him again. On the day of the execution, I was locked in the woodshed by my master and refused to let me see it."
At this point, the story came to an end. After nearly twenty years, Yu Heng finally said the words that were pressed in her heart and said them to the person she liked the most. At this moment, she suddenly felt extremely relaxed, as if she had finally put down the heaviest shackle on her body. For a moment, nothing could bind her.
Chen Dong wiped the tears from Yu Heng's face, then smiled gently, and asked, "When I come back next time, let's go see your mother together?"
Yu Heng smiled faintly when she heard this. She buried her head in Chen Dong's chest again and replied softly: "Okay."
