Wen Qiyu continued: "I followed my father and knew that he was going to sell my sister, so I rushed up and hugged my sister.
I begged my father not to sell my sister. I said I could make money and eat less.
My father burst into tears. Later, with my insistence, my sister was not sold.
But that winter, our family almost didn't make it through.
The one who saved us in the end was still my sister."
When Wen Qiyu mentioned that period of the past, he still felt sad and sad.
He said: "That winter, the imperial court selected girls and selected my sister. She was taken to the palace and became the so-called princess.
The court gave us a large sum of money, and our family's life has improved since then, but I no longer have a sister."
Chen Caihe looked at him and said, "But you saved your sister.
If it weren't for your persistence, your sister would have been sold long ago, and she might never be able to get her back."
Wen Qiyu said: "Do you know what price you have to pay to be this princess?
When I was a child, I didn't understand. I thought my sister would be a princess and enjoy endless glory and wealth.
It wasn't until I grew up that I realized that the so-called princess was nothing more than a tool for raising voodoo insects.
When I saw her, I saw deep and shallow scars on her wrists.
I was very sad at the time and vowed to free my sister from this sea of suffering, let her be free and happy, and make her happy."
Chen Caihe said warmly: "You did it."
Wen Qiyu smiled slightly: "I chose to be an official just to save my sister.
Later I discovered that there are too many people like my sister in this world.
Saving her alone is not as good as saving the world.
If there had been no famine, and if the court had done something, there would have been no separation of flesh and blood, and there would not have been so much injustice in the world."
Chen Caihe sniffed and said, "Brother Wen has done a very good job."
Wen Qiyu said: "I have never said these words to anyone else.
Everyone has a bad past, and we cannot choose our origins.
But it’s up to you to decide what kind of life you want to live in the future.”
Chen Caihe nodded and said, "I understand, thank you, Brother Wen."
Wen Qiyu smiled. It seemed that the heart-to-heart talk was right. Brother Wen's call became more and more smooth.
outside the door.
Jiang Ru didn't come in with the food box. She leaned against the wall, thinking about what she just heard.
Ye Xiuchen asked: "Are you okay?"
Jiang Ru shook her head and said: "Actually, I remember everything. I remember my father told me that day that he would take me to the street to buy delicious food.
I was so happy that my father kept his promise. He bought me a bunch of candied haws and then took me to meet a man.
I forgot what they talked about, I just remember that the man wanted to take me inside.
Then my brother ran over, hugged me and knelt on the ground, and my father also cried.
The three of us cried for a long time, and finally I returned home.
From then on, my brother gave the food to me and my mother, and he always said that he was full."
Ye Xiuchen reached out and hugged her and said, "You have a good brother."
Jiang Ru sniffed: "Actually, after I was brought to the palace, I have been waiting for my brother every day.
I thought he would take me home like last time."
Ye Xiuchen patted her shoulder and said, "Do you blame him?"
