Chapter Forty-Eight: It was the Zhan family who owed her
Zhan Liyang remembers very well that it was a spring weekend morning, and it was rare that he didn't sleep until three o'clock in the morning because of a hangover, and he got up at about nine o'clock.
He didn't have any appetite, he just drank a bowl of porridge casually after washing, and seeing that the sun was shining outside, Zhan Liyang suddenly had the idea of going to the garden for a walk.
The Zhan family has hired a special gardening and greening company, which will regularly take care of the lawn every once in a while, and in addition, the family maid will also plant some flowers and plants according to the season.
However, for these, Zhan Liyang, as the head of the family, never asked and didn't care much. Uncle He is the big housekeeper here, and every quarter he will make the accounts neat and tidy, take them to him for inspection, and then Zhan Liyang will settle the expenses clearly. Although Wang Jingshu likes money very much, but she has no interest in taking care of family affairs, Zhan Liyang, as a big-excellent-excellent-small-talk-more-new-most-fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-man, is also not interested in these, basically the family affairs are discussed by Uncle He and Uncle Zhao, and finally report it.
It can be said that although they have already entered a new era, in the past forty years, the people of the Zhan family have still lived according to an old-fashioned way in the past, strictly following the lessons of the boss as the master and the servant as the subordinate.
People who have been working in the Zhan family for a long time know that Zhan Liyang is a relatively talkative boss, and Wang Jingshu is just a bit of a bad temper and a bad mouth. For example, they never thought of replacing all the aging servants in the family and driving them back to their hometowns in the countryside, and they never found excuses to deduct their wages, but would stuff red envelopes during the New Year's holidays and let everyone buy some things to send home.
Yu Simei, who has just arrived, has also slowly transitioned from being cautious at the beginning to adapting to the life of the war family, she is quick with her hands and feet, has a good work, and is quiet and does not talk much, she will not be pretentious, she has a good heart, and soon she got along with these original servants. Uncle He, who has been a widower for many years, seems to have a little idea of her, but Yu Simei knows that she is a decent woman at a glance, so everyone doesn't dare to make any excessive jokes with her.
"What a jasmine...... What a jasmine flower...... The garden is full of flowers and plants...... It's not fragrant, but it's ......."
Who knows, as soon as Zhan Liyang stepped on one foot in the garden, he heard a low female voice humming a song, just listening to the voice, he still felt very strange, he couldn't think of which servant in the house, searched around in his mind, and had no impression at all.
The other party didn't seem to notice his arrival, and was still squatting, as if rummaging through the flower seeds in the flower garden. This is the season when you can sow seeds, and as long as there is enough sun and rain, it will take two or three months for the garden to be full of life and beauty.
Zhan Liyang was a little embarrassed, so he had to cough a few times.
Hearing the voice, the woman who was squatting on the ground hurriedly stood up and turned to look at the person.
Yu Youwei was wearing an apron, her hands were covered with dirt, she naturally knew Zhan Liyang, but she didn't expect to see him here, so she immediately said: "Zhan, Mr. Zhan, why did you, why did you come here? Do you want something? You say, I'll help you take it, the ground here is full of soil, don't stain your clothes and shoes." ”
Her expression looked very cramped and uneasy, if Uncle He knew that she didn't work honestly in front of her, and came here to plant flowers alone, she would inevitably scold her.
Zhan Liyang's eyes fell on Yu Simei's face, and after a few glances, he suddenly realized: Oh, it was the maid who came to the house to apply for a job before, I didn't expect that after a few months, her face looked much better, not to mention the sallow before, her face was still frighteningly thin, but now it is a little red, her cheeks are not so sunken, she looks good, and she looks much younger than the last time we met.
Although she was wearing ordinary work clothes, she could still vaguely distinguish the slender figure, which made her not look like a woman in her thirties at all. Perhaps, a woman is really made of water, needs care, needs maintenance, and it only took such a short time for this woman to regain her vitality...... Zhan Liyang thought secretly in his heart.
Being a little embarrassed by him, Yu Simei lowered his head slightly.
"It's okay, I'm just out and about, don't be nervous. By the way, what are you planting?"
In order to ease the atmosphere, Zhan Liyang took the initiative to point behind Yu Simei.
Seeing that Zhan Liyang didn't mean to blame herself, she let go of her hanging heart, smiled at him, and replied, "It's a cornflower." I saw it sold in the flower shop, but it was too expensive, but it was really beautiful, and I asked, the weather in Zhonghai is also suitable for planting, so I bought a little bit of seeds, I wanted to try it, see if I can grow it, if it can really bloom, it must be beautiful. ”
Yu Simei explained seriously, in fact, she was still a little weak-hearted, she was afraid that she would be said that she was a public weapon for private use. After all, no one had ever planted cornflowers in the warrior's garden, it was just her own preference.
Zhan Liyang also stretched his brows and chuckled, "Cornflower, is it a chrysanthemum?"
She was afraid that he would be discouraged, so she hurriedly explained again: "No, no, no, I plant blue, if I'm lucky, maybe purple, definitely not the white and yellow ones." Don't worry, if it's really that unlucky color, no one needs to say it, I'll be the first to cut it all..."
Yu Simei's tone and demeanor amused Zhan Liyang, it seemed that this servant's courage was quite small.
"You're busy, I'll just go around. ”
He smiled and shook his head and walked in the other direction.
Yu Simei, who stood in place, watched Zhan Liyang walk away, and then continued to squat back in front of the flower garden with anxiety, she wanted to plant all the seeds before the direct sunlight at noon.
I don't know if it's a psychological factor or something else, since that time, Zhan Liyang found that he always seemed to be able to see this maid surnamed Yu, but he hadn't paid attention to it before. Gradually, he also found that she didn't talk much, always had a shallow smile when she looked at others, and her hands and feet were very diligent, either cleaning or helping in the kitchen, and she was turning around every day.
It didn't take long for an unexpected thing to happen...... Yu Simei went to Uncle He and said that he was going to resign.
Uncle He was very anxious, and asked her again and again what happened, and everyone was puzzled, how did she do a good job here, and she actually had to leave.
Yu Simei cried and said that she was drunk to death from alcohol poisoning.
About her husband, everyone has heard of it, and Uncle Zhao even said in private that he saw a drunk man running here and asking Yu Simei for money, which looked like a wine bag and rice bag, and was very fierce to her, and said that if he didn't give money, he would beat her to death and sell his daughter.
"It's good to be dead, so that you don't drag down your mother and son when you die..."
Aunt Wang said indignantly, took Yu Simei's hand and handed her a handkerchief.
"It's, it's..."
Uncle Zhao glanced at Uncle He and said in agreement.
"However, Xiao Yu is afraid that she is worried about the child...... The child's father is gone, the family is also scattered, and her daughter is still young......" Uncle He frowned and said.
Aunt Wang thought about it for a while, and had the audacity to mention that it was better to ask Mr. Zhan to see that he did not agree to let Xiao Yu's daughter live in, anyway, the mother and daughter were crowded together, and they did not occupy space.
Everyone said that this was a good idea, not to mention that Yu Simei's daughter had always lived in school, and she would only come back on weekends, and only stayed for two nights a week. Uncle He even volunteered and took the initiative to say that he was going to ask Zhan Liyang, which immediately caused everyone to snicker. There is naturally a reason why he is so active, Yu Simei doesn't know, but she doesn't want to marry again, a failed marriage is enough to make her afraid of death, and she doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
The result was naturally good, Zhan Liyang agreed, although Wang Jingshu was slightly displeased after knowing it, she muttered a few words, but she didn't ask much, anyway, there was one more subordinate or one less subordinate in the family, and it had nothing to do with her.
In this way, Yu Simei's mother and daughter officially lived in the Zhan family, and it was from that time that Yu Youwei changed her surname to motherhood, and she never wanted to mention her hateful biological father in front of others.
Recalling the past many years ago, Zhan Liyang, who is now graying in temples, can't help but sigh for a while.
He squatted in front of the tombstone, looking at Yu Simei, who was still young in the photo, with tears in his eyes.
If only time could have passed all over again, Zhan Liyang really hoped that he hadn't made any mistakes. However, there is no chance to start over in life, and it is impossible for him to go back to the past and redeem his mistakes in person.
Now, Yu Simei is dead, Yu Youwei's whereabouts are unknown, and she herself is suffering from cancer and will die soon.
The injustice of a qiē, the origin and the extinction, are all over......
"When people get old, they can't help but think about the past...... In fact, leaving Zhonghai is also my own intention, not that the kid in Xingchuan is ruthless...... It's just that I think that time is running out, and I always feel that it is not a good feeling to die outside, so I still came back...... While you can still move, come and see you...... When we were alive, we had no fate, and when we died, we were afraid that we would not be able to see it underground...... Hey, it's okay if you don't see me, you hate me to death, I'm afraid you don't want to see me at all......"
Zhan Liyang smiled bitterly, supported the cold marble tombstone with his hand, and muttered.
"If you have a spirit in heaven, bless me that you may find your daughter in the last days...... Either way, I want to make it up to her...... It was our fighters who owed her back then......"
