Chapter 8: Some Past Events

Limited to Yu Zilian's cooking skills, the two of them ate tomato scrambled eggs and fried vegetables at night.

The routine eating, walking and exercising after meals were carried out to the end at Yu Zhile's insistence.

"My hand is burned, and it's not that I'm lame, at most I won't play basketball with you."

So when Yu Zilian was practicing shooting on the small basketball court in the community alone, Yu Zhile joined the army of chattering with uncles and aunts, and looked at him from afar, knowing that he was not embarrassed by Xie Chenglong and other children who love to find fault.

But when it comes to chatting, Yu Zhile basically only listens, they like to talk about some neighborhood gossip about the east and west, she has no relevant news to contribute, but she can't stop the enthusiastic aunts from burning the gossip fire on her.

"Xiaoyu, seeing that you revolve around your brother every day, you shouldn't have a partner, right?" Aunt No. 1 pulled Yu Zhile over and looked at her with interest on her face.

Yu Zhile had a big alarm bell in his head, didn't he want to introduce her to someone?

She laughed and snorted, wanting to fool the past, who wanted Aunt No. 2 to pick up immediately, "That's not necessarily, Xiaoyu just didn't want to accept the arranged marriage and escaped, maybe there was a good match." ”

Yu Zhile also can't understand their brain circuits, Aunt No. 2 doesn't seem to deal with Aunt No. 1 very well, and often sings against each other, she doesn't want to get involved.

She looked at Uncle Wang on the side for help, Uncle Wang was not very involved in this kind of hobby of middle-aged and elderly women, but at this time he helped Yu Zhile to relieve the siege, "Oh, our older generation still has less interference in the affairs of young people, and now advocates free love." ”

Yu Zhile was busy and smiled and nodded in agreement.

Aunt No. 1 wanted to say something, but Uncle Wang looked at Yu Zilian, who was playing basketball, and said to Yu Zhile: "Xiao Lian is much more cheerful now than before, and your credit is not small." ”

This is to help Yu Zhile divert the topic, although she still hopes that their topic will not be on her, but Uncle Wang's praise still has to be appreciated, "You have won the award, Xiao Lian was originally a good boy, but he suffered too many blows before, covering up his advantages." ”

Boasting about Yu Zilian, Yu Zhile still spares no effort, she really thinks that Yu Zihuan is better than other children, not only good-looking, but also smart, sensible, hardworking and kind, except for loving to pretend to be in her heart and not very fond of talking to outsiders, there are almost no shortcomings.

Uncle Wang smiled very kindly, turned his face to the people around him and said, "Xiao Lian's grandmother has no other wishes before she dies, that is, she hopes that we all take good care of Xiao Lian, as neighbors, this should have been, right?" ”

This seems to be reminding someone, Yu Zhile's gaze quietly swept over the faces of the aunts and uncles with different expressions, before she came, except for Uncle Wang, there were almost no other neighbors who showed favor to Yu Zilian, and what was worse was that he connived at his own children to bully him, and he didn't shy away from gossiping at all.

Aunt No. 2 pursed her lips and glanced at Yu Zhile, "Brother Wang, what you said is as if we are thanks to Xiao Lian." ”

"It's not bad, I just think that sometimes in front of children, you have to pay attention to what you say, and it's not good to be learned by children."

As for the children in the community who often insultingly call Yu Zilian "little wild seed", Yu Zhile saw it on the first day he came here. Regarding the unpleasant rumors about Yu Zihuan's family, naturally no one will talk about it in front of her, but even so, Yu Zhile overheard most of the information from the conversations of others, intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Zilian's mother is a big beauty, which is famous in the surrounding area, at the age of sixteen or seventeen suitors can line up a long line, but everyone also knows that her father died early, and the family is an orphan and widow, so her outstanding beauty and poor family background are completely a sparkling soft persimmon, when she was nineteen years old, she was raped by a ruffian hooligan who had long been eyeing her, which made the vast majority of suitors scatter in a hurry, only Yu Zilian's father did not change his mind and insisted on marrying.

But the oath before marriage could not stop this matter became a thorn in the hearts of the two, and later Yu Zilian's father often suspected that Yu Zihuan was not his biological son, and he was drunk and gambling all day long to numb himself, owed huge gambling debts, and scolded Yu Zilian's mother.

When Yu Zihuan was four years old, his mother finally couldn't stand it and wanted a divorce, and took Yu Zihuan back to her parents' house. However, before the divorce procedures were completed, Yu Zilian's father fled overnight because he was forced by the creditor to pay a debt, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

However, the nightmare is not over yet, after the ruffian who defiled Yu Zilian's mother was released from prison, he hated her for calling the police and causing him to be arrested, and came to the door again, forcibly occupied her for a year, and threatened the lives of Yu Zihuan and his grandmother to prevent her from calling the police, and rumors about Yu Zilian's mother having a dirty disease also came out at that time.

You must know that even if she tries her best to cover it up, it is difficult to hide this kind of thing in the neighborhood, not to mention that she has always been at the center of the community gossip.

The tragic fate of the beauty can be described as a long-standing conversation, especially for those who have always been jealous of her appearance. All kinds of vicious words came out one after another, as if they were afraid that others would not hear their schadenfreude.

Surrounded by rumors, Yu Zilian's mother made a move that shocked everyone, she took a kitchen knife after the ruffian fell asleep and intended to cut off his head, due to her small strength, the ruffian did not die after the first few knives, and the two were seriously injured in the dispute and fight, and finally died together.

She was only twenty-five years old when she died.

This kind of murder was quite appalling back then, so some people still talk about it today. On the night when Yu Zhile completely pieced together this past, she lay on the sofa and couldn't sleep for a long time, and the beauty on the opposite wall who smiled sweeter than flowers seemed to be looking at her in the dark.

How could anyone bear to hurt someone who smiled so softly?

If Yu Zhile had such a beautiful friend by her side, she would have been too late to protect her, and she would not be willing to say a heavy word to her, let alone see others bullying her.

It was probably at that time that Yu Zhile faced the portraits of Yu Zilian's mother and grandmother, and secretly promised these two ill-fated women in his heart that as long as she was in one day, she would definitely protect Yu Zihuan and let him grow up.

After Yu Zhile's pondering for many days, she seriously suspected that the reason why Xie Chenglong hated Yu Zilian had a lot to do with his mother. Xie Chenglong's body type is inherited from his mother, with big shoulders and round waist, five big and three thick, even if a man's physique is forgotten, a woman's appearance, unless she has an angel's face, it is difficult to match with beauty, not to mention that she still has a big cake face, sesame eyes, garlic nose, sausage mouth, Yu Zhile feels very hungry every time he sees her.

In the community, the most fierce thing that Yu Zilian's mother gossiped was Xie Chenglong's mother, if she hadn't been broadcasting loudly from time to time, it would have been more than ten years, and no one would have to keep mentioning it. Later, I heard that Xie Chenglong's father was also the suitor of Yu Zilian's mother when he was young, and Yu Zhile suddenly realized. And it is said that whenever he gets drunk, he will talk about the young and beautiful dream lover, and no one can stand his husband from time to time to let the white moonlight in his heart shine on the earth.

The question is, if he really wants to be so obsessed, what would he have done earlier? When the lover was bullied and insulted by everyone in the dream, I didn't see him jump out and become a messenger of justice. It's just that a middle-aged man who is unwilling, moaning, wanting/begging/dissatisfied without illness, but poor Yu Zihuan's mother will not be at peace after her death.

What's even more innocent is Yu Zilian, seeing that he is becoming more and more like his mother, and he is so much better than Xie Chenglong, Xie Chenglong's mother even has a reasonable outlet for anger, and she instills in Xie Chenglong the idea of not giving Yu Zihuan a good life.

In the year after her death, Yu Zihuan became more and more sensitive and gloomy, and Cheng DΓΉ also thanked Jackie Chan for calling on the children in the entire community to ignore him.

Although Uncle Wang has also intervened a few times, children are used to being good at one set in front of adults and another behind them, Yu Zilian is not his child after all, he can't interfere too much in many things, and he is afraid of causing dissatisfaction among other children's parents. Without the support of adults at home, it is not a solution after all.

Fortunately, Yu Zhile appeared at this time.

With Uncle Wang's timely reminder and deterrence, Yu Zilian's future life in the community will be much better.

It's just that Yu Zhile feels that after tonight's chat, her future days may not be easy.

After the crowd dispersed, Aunt No. 1 deliberately pulled her to lobby again, in fact, she couldn't help but say that she wanted to arrange a blind date for her, saying that the other party was her distant nephew, mature and stable, tall and handsome, and had a stable job, so that Yu Zhile wanted to seize the opportunity, is she ready to take care of her younger brother for the rest of her life and be an old aunt? A woman still has to marry and have children before she can be complete.

Regardless of Yu Zhile's clear statement that she would not go, she directly told her to meet her at six o'clock on Friday night in the tea room on the edge of the community.

Yu Zhile endured and endured, so he didn't turn his face with Aunt No. 1 in person. She is only twenty-two years old, and she doesn't mind being a single dog, she is an outsider who has never spoken ten words to her in total, and a woman must get married and have children to be complete, and she is not a sow waiting to be slaughtered.

After slandering for a long time, Yu Zhile was still angry, and while no one around was paying attention to her, he raised his middle finger at the back of Aunt No. 1, one was not enough, and the other hand also joined.

However, seeing Yu Zilian, who was panting after playing basketball, walked over to her, inevitably bringing bad children, Yu Zhile quickly stopped.

When it was time to go to bed, when Yu Zilian went to take a bath, Yu Zhile carried his bunk into the bedroom, ready to make a bunk, but when he put it horizontally and vertically, he found that there was no place that could fully accommodate her.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a double bed and a small bookshelf, and by the window is a desk and wardrobe, and the middle aisle is about half a meter wide, and there is also a fan.

Yu Zhile thought about it for a long time, either she put her head under the desk and held the fan between her legs, or her legs stretched under the desk with the fan next to her head, and the other posture was slightly better, lying horizontally in the aisle, avoiding the desk, but she couldn't avoid the fan.

When Yu Zilian came in, what he saw was Yu Zhile holding the cover with both hands, staring blankly at the bottom of the desk.

"What are you doing?" Yu Zilian took off the towel around his neck and hung it on the back of the chair in front of the desk, looking at Yu Zhile with some inexplicability.

"I'm thinking about a very serious problem." Yu Zhile raised his eyes, and Yan SΓΉ looked back seriously, "In what direction should I lay the floor." ”

Yu Zihuan was speechless, "Do you think there is a place to lay the floor here?" ”

"Nope." Yu Zhile shook his head honestly.

Yu Zilian took the towel in her hand and threw it on the bed, "So you also sleep in the bed." ”
