Mother is sitting on the edge of the bed, her long wavy hair draped over her shoulders, one side of her long hair tucked behind her ears, wearing champagne-colored silk pajamas, holding a cigarette skillfully but elegantly between her slender fingers, puffing out the smoke
It filled her whole body with a feeling of emptiness.
If it weren't for that familiar face, Yu Xiaoqing would never associate this person with his always simple mother.
She covered her mouth and lowered her gaze, even more surprised. Her father, who had always been so arrogant in front of her mother, was half-kneeling on the concrete floor at this moment. With his rough hands, he gently picked up the water droplets and accidentally splashed them on his face. He also
He just wiped it with his sleeves and continued. He was actually washing his mother's feet.
The sky cracked with a crash.
Such a scene is unbelievable and indescribable.
Yu Xiaoqing bit her lip and stretched out her trembling hands to push the door open, but Shangguan Zhongqi covered her mouth and forced her out of the yard.
He didn't let go until he was outside the door. Looking at Yu Xiaoqing's pale face, it was obvious that such a scene had a huge impact on her. To be more precise, she should have been frightened.
Speaking of her, Shangguan Zhongqi was also shocked by this scene.
Yu Xiaoqing pulled her hair hard and closed her eyes, hoping that the pain would wake her up and tell herself that what she just saw was just an illusion.
The two of them were sitting on a stone pier not far from the door of their house. Shangguan Zhongqi listened to Yu Xiaoqing telling everything about his mother.
All in all, Yu Xiaoqing's mother is an authentic rural woman, illiterate, uneducated, abiding by the three obediences and four virtues, afraid of her husband, and kind-hearted.
However, none of this has anything to do with the woman they just saw.
Shangguan Zhongqi kept frowning. At first, during this period, he thought that he had made a big mistake in linking Yu Ye's matter with Yu Xiaoqing's mother. It seemed that he was indeed right.
But, what is the identity of Yu Xiaoqing's mother? Obviously, with her dressing sense and behavior, she is definitely not a commoner. What's more, if she is really related to Yu Ye, then...
He glanced at Yu Xiaoqing with some worry.
"Let's go in!"
"What for?"
"Go and listen to what they say, maybe it will help you understand something!"
"No...I don't want it!"
"Qing, there's no point in escaping!"
"But……"
"Let's go!"
Perhaps they also longed to know the truth in their hearts, no matter how cruel it was, and finally the two of them entered the house again and stood in front of the central hall door.
Because it is an ordinary brick building, there is no soundproofing at all, so at this moment, the words spoken by the people inside can still be heard very clearly.
"Xiaojie, you smoke less, it's not good for your health!" It was his father's voice, but it was an unfamiliar name to Yu Xiaoqing. In the past, his father always called his mother a "dead woman."
"Shut up, you've been saying this for decades, don't you get tired of it?" My mother's voice was overbearing and unruly, but it never had that submissive tone.
"Xiaojie, I'm doing this for you too!" His father's voice was timid, but he could hear the worry in his words.
Silence...and silence again...
Just when Yu Xiaoqing thought they couldn't speak, her mother suddenly said, "After all these days of hiding, when will I be the boss?" The voice was low and plaintive, and the tone was familiar to Yu Xiaoqing, but the content was unfamiliar to Yu Xiaoqing.
Yes, hide and hide? Why did mother say hide and hide?
Haven't they been living here since she could remember? Why did she say this? She was full of doubts.
