Chapter 69: A Sudden Departure
Madame and Zhou Shan came back safely, and the adults didn't do anything impulsive, which was originally a happy thing. But then, some gossip spread from the village.
It's not just the strong-blooded Zhou Shan and his wife, some people say that the last time they disappeared, they actually secretly hid in the mountains and forests for a tryst, maybe they did some unsightly things, and even worse, they also pointed the finger at the father and mother of the two. They are both in single-parent families, and the two elders have never been married, and their two families live very close, and there are often some contacts that are seen by the villagers, so there are some ugly words such as adults and children who don't know how to check.
These gossips soon reached the ears of the two elders, after all, the village was very small, and it was quickly known to passers-by what was going on. Madame's father is naturally very aggrieved, although he has always felt that Zhou Shan's mother is a very good woman, but he has never thought of reforming a family with her, let alone doing what the villagers say is ignorant of inspection.
But what made Mrs. Madame's father even more sad was that the villagers still used such words to slander their daughter, although during the time when his daughter disappeared, he was also worried about whether the two children would go out of order, but when he saw Zhou Shan appear with his daughter on his back, his father knew that his worries were completely superfluous, and there must be no dirty elements in the relationship between them.
Madame's father felt that he was at a loss for words, not to mention that the more he tried to justify this kind of thing, the more he wanted to cover it up, so he decided to endure it for a while, and perhaps when the limelight passed, everything would return to normal.
It's just that after ten days and half a month, the situation that my father expected did not happen, but in the process of spreading the rumors, many people actually believed it. When his daughter came back one weekend crying and telling him that a child at the entrance of the village had called her a* and threw a stone at her, the father knew that they could not stay any longer in this mountain village.
Father and daughter walked in a hurry, just as they had come to the village by a bullock cart ten years ago, and now they left without much possessions.
Madame asked her father to let her say goodbye to Zhou Shan, because according to his father's words, they would not only have to leave the village, but also transfer to high schools in other cities, so that she would forever lose her relationship with the circle of the past. Mrs. didn't expect that her father would do such an extreme thing to protect herself, although she would not be bothered by gossip anymore, but at the same time, there was no way to meet Zhou Shan again.
Since the events of that day, a seed has been quietly planted in Madame's heart, and she will think of Zhou Shan's honest smile from time to time, and the feeling of kissing his face in the cave...
Madame will secretly feel ashamed because of her spring heart, after all, she is only a sixteen-year-old high school student, and there are rules in the school that explicitly prohibit early love. So Mrs. deliberately distanced herself from Zhou Shan, and when he came to school to look for herself, Mrs. avoided it several times, and did not go home with Zhou Shan on weekends, but often left her school half an hour early.
So the two of them hardly communicated again, and when the gossip in the village came out, the lady even more deliberately avoided meeting with Zhou Shan. But Madame never imagined that such an evasion would soon evolve into eternity.
Madame cried and begged her father to let her and Zhou Shan meet again for the last time, she couldn't leave without saying a word, and Madame didn't even tell Zhou Shan how she felt in her heart.
But Madame's request was ruthlessly rejected by her father, and according to his words, since he decided to leave, he had to break it off, and everything here had nothing to do with them in the future.
My father left the village early in the morning, before the light was bright and the whole village was asleep. The father decided to take his daughter to a big city, such as Yangcheng, a famous first-tier city in China, and although he was not capable, he could still do manual work on the construction site. In such a city, no one would know their father and daughter, and the daughter would not have to be hurt by other people.
Zhou Shan only found out in the morning that his wife and her father had left, the door of their house was closed, and Zhou Shan knocked for a long time but no one answered. Zhou Shan, who was very familiar with the neighbor's house, found a place in the kitchen window and went in, and saw that it was empty, and the mattress and quilt were all gone, Zhou Shan finally realized that his wife and uncle had moved.
Zhou Shan chased out like crazy, he ran far and wide along the road at the entrance of the village, until his feet were out of strength, Zhou Shan was tired and collapsed on the side of the road, and he never saw the shadow of his wife...
The lady sitting in the luxury car, looking at the scenery around her that was becoming more and more familiar, and even a few villagers who looked a little familiar, all the memories of her youth came to mind. After she and her father came to Yangcheng, they encountered many difficulties that they had not thought about in the past, such as the price here is very expensive, it is definitely not possible to take a car to go anywhere and just walk, and the most important thing is the problem of his wife's schooling.
In the end, Mrs. could only finish high school in a small city around Yangcheng, and did not continue to take the university entrance examination, so she came out to do business. Madame also once thought about whether she should write a letter to Zhou Shan, who was far away from home, but the practical difficulties were far more practical than the love of children, and whenever her father appeared in front of her in mud-stained clothes, Madame told herself that she must not live up to her father's expectations.
After more than ten years of hard work, Mrs. finally succeeded in becoming a wealthy man, but her father did not enjoy the blessings, because of overwork, before he could witness the success of his daughter, his father had died. The death of her father gave her greater determination and motivation, and today, she has finally become a rich woman who no longer has to worry about life.
Rolls-Royce drove up a hillside, and on the left side of the hill there were many wheat fields, and at the end of the wheat field there was a family that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and the lady's eyes suddenly froze. Because the wooden house, which looked like it was about to collapse, was the place where he had lived for ten years.
"Stop," said Madame softly to the driver in front of her, who lowered the window and the expression on her face could only be described as a mixture of feelings.
