When Lin Yuhao arrived at his home in Y City, the clock was almost pointing to eight o'clock, and as soon as he entered the living room, he saw Uncle Chu holding a book in his hand, and Chu Ning was lying on his uncle's shoulder, pointing to a certain place in the book, as if he was discussing something.

Looking at such a warm and harmonious picture, Lin Yuhao didn't dare to step forward, he was afraid that his every move would break the original tranquility.

"Brother Yuhao, you're finally home!" Chu Ning, who was sharp-eyed, looked up and saw Lin Yuhao who was in a daze at the entrance of the living room.

"Uncle, Chu Ning, I've kept you waiting." Lin Yuhao stepped forward to greet Chu Tianxing and Chu Ning.

Chu Ning happily said to Lin Jinwen and Ye Mei, who were busy in the kitchen: "Report to Aunt Lin and Mom, Brother Yu Hao has arrived safely." ”

"It's a lot faster than expected, Chu Ning, you inform Dad and Yu Hao, and you can start eating in about ten minutes." Lin Jinwen also said happily to Chu Ning.

"No problem!" Chu Ning made an OK gesture towards Lin Jinwen.

"Look at you, you don't have the reserve that a girl should have." Ye Mei shook her head and sighed when she saw her daughter going in and out of the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm just so happy! Brother Yu Hao finally has a holiday, aren't you happy? Chu Ning pouted.

"Yes! It's rare for children to spend a few days together, and if you're not happy, it's time for them to relax. Lin Jinwen also comforted.

"It's still Aunt Lin who loves me the most." Chu Ning stretched out her tongue at her mother, and then stepped forward to wrap her arms around Lin Jinwen's neck, deliberately lying arrogant.

"Don't get in the way of us and your Aunt Lin's work, let's go out and clean up the restaurant first!" Ye Mei Dao.

"Order!" Chu Ning looked at the dishes in the kitchen, and he really couldn't help much, so he retreated with interest.

Ten minutes later, the Lin family's restaurant opened on time.

Tonight will be a special day, except for Lin Yuhao and Chu Ning occasionally chatting about work and study, the three elders all have their own concerns, so this meal is not as harmonious as imagined, on the contrary, it lacks the relaxed atmosphere of the past.

After dinner ended hastily, and after cleaning up the mess after dinner together, Chu Tianxing said that he hadn't played chess and chatted with Lin Yuhao for a long time, so he asked Lin Jinwen to make tea and went to the study with Lin Yuhao.

After watching Chu Tianxing and Lin Yuhao enter the study, Ye Mei quietly glanced at Lin Jinwen.

"Jinwen, I don't know how long the two of them will play, I think I'd better go home with Chu Ning and wait first!"

"It's okay, it's cold, you should go back early!" Lin Jinwen nodded.

"Aunt Lin, see you tomorrow!" Chu Ning stepped forward.

"Girl, go home and rest early! Ye Mei, you see that my heart is still a little uneasy. Lin Jinwen pulled Ye Mei aside and whispered to Ye Mei.

"Jinwen, it will always pass, your heart can't jump too tight, Yu Hao is an adult, he knows proportion." Ye Mei comforted.

"You have a point, I'm sure Tianxing will appease him." Lin Jinwen's heart seemed to be a little calmer.

After Ye Mei continued to appease a few words, she left with Chu Ning.

After sending Ye Mei's mother and daughter away, Lin Jinwen still felt anxious and panicked that she had never felt before, she couldn't imagine that her son Lin Yuhao knew that the woman who betrayed her family, left her hometown and eloped with others, just for her own selfish thoughts, would she reassess the weight of her mother in her heart?

'God, I hope Yu Hao can understand what his mother did back then. Looking at the study room, which had not moved for a long time, Chu Tianxing was telling his son a story that belonged to their previous generation twenty-five years ago, Lin Jinwen clasped his hands in front of his chest, and prayed reverently in his heart.

……

After Chu Ning and her mother left the Lin family, they walked casually by the Han River, and she had already discovered the interaction between her father, mother and Aunt Lin during dinner tonight, thinking that something should happen tonight. Because since Aunt Lin fainted in the dress shop last time, she felt that some things seemed to be a little different from before, and then the Fang family brothers and sisters ignored her retention and returned to Jiangcheng in the early morning of the next day.

In recent days, Aunt Lin has rarely gone to the dress store, but often comes to Chu's house, and every time she comes, she will be locked in the study with her mother, I don't know what she is discussing?

Out of respect for Aunt Lin, she never asked her parents what happened to Aunt Lin? But she vaguely felt that Aunt Lin's changes might be related to the Fang family's brothers and sisters, and things would always come to light one day, Chu Ning thought.

Dinner at the Lin family tonight must have been specially arranged by Aunt Lin and her parents, and it seems that Aunt Lin's changes also have a lot to do with Brother Yu Hao.

She looked up at the starry sky, which was dotted with a few faint stars, and the light of the moon was yellow and dim. Chu Ning sighed, thinking of asking her mother Ye Mei, what happened to the Lin family? Forget it, forget it.

In the study, Chu Tianxing looked a little tired after telling a story that had been hidden for more than 20 years, he leaned back in the chair and rubbed his eyebrows, and then looked at Lin Yuhao, who was hiding his face with his hands and his body trembling constantly.

"Yu Hao, your mother is a strong woman, if it weren't for the Fang family sending someone to tempt her, I don't think she would have let you know these things in her life." Chu Tianxing stepped forward to reassure him.

"So, for so many years, she has endured the pain of betrayal and separation alone, but she has never let us know what kind of injuries she has suffered and what kind of suffering she has suffered?"

"Yu Hao, since you already know the grievances of the previous generation, I might as well tell you another thing, in the year your father left, your mother had a brief period of depression and depression, but it was only a short moment, because you were too immature, too immature to bear any damage, so she quickly stood up tenaciously like an unfailing warrior, because she pinned all her hopes on the two of you brothers, and she was never willing to let you suffer the slightest injury, She doesn't want to pass on her pain to you, so she suffers incognito and silently. Chu Tianxing said solemnly.

"Mom--, why are you so stupid?" Lin Yuhao muttered.

Chu Tianxing didn't squeak, just gently patted Lin Yuhao's shoulder to show comfort:

"Uncle also knows that it is a very cruel thing for you to suddenly tell you about this, if you can, this matter has already been buried with the death of your father more than 20 years ago, but the current situation seems to be uncontrollable, I believe Fang Zhenghao, that is, your uncle will come in a short time, we don't know the purpose of his visit this time, if it is just to recognize relatives, it is better to say, if it is something else, we also have to face it together, so uncle thought, it is time for you brothers to face them."

After Chu Tianxing finished speaking, he stretched out his hands and held Lin Yuhao's shoulders vigorously, then sighed and slowly walked out of the study.

After a long time, Lin Yuhao came back to his senses, but Chu Tianxing had already left, he walked out of the study with a heavy heart, and found that his mother Lin Jinwen was leaning on the sofa and falling asleep, her thin body shrunk and thin face sunken, presumably she had been tormented for the past few days.

Lin Yuhao gently walked over to his sleeping mother, squatted down, gently moved Lin Jinwen's silver hair hanging down from his temples behind his ears, and then casually opened the blanket on the sofa and carefully covered his mother's body.

He found that although his mother was still beautiful, the wind and frost of the years could not hide her vicissitudes, and the corners of her eyes had deep fine lines at some point.

"Yu Hao!" Lin Jinwen was still awakened by Lin Yuhao's slight movements.

"Mom, I've woken you up, I'll accompany you back to your room to rest!" Lin Yuhao pretended to coax Lin Jinwen easily.

"I'm not sleepy, I want to wait for you to come out, where is your uncle?" Lin Jinwen helped his son, who was half-kneeling in front of him, up and let him sit next to him.

"Uncle Chu went back first."

"It's getting late, you can go and rest too!" Lin Jinwen looked at the clock.

"Mom, I'm sorry! You suffered, but why didn't you tell me earlier? At this time, Lin Yuhao couldn't hold back his distress anymore, and suddenly lay on Lin Jinwen's lap and whimpered loudly.

"Silly boy, are you feeling sorry for your mother? In fact, everyone is responsible for their own actions, and Mom ran away from that family in order to be with your dad, but Mom doesn't regret spending that short and poor time with your dad, and it's no wonder that no one is wondered. The reason why Mom has been reluctant to tell you is that Mom has suffered back then, and there is no need to let you feel sad after knowing it, and secondly, I am afraid that after your brothers know about it, they will look at Mom and Dad in a different light, and they will be ashamed of Mom's betrayal and separation back then, and Mom is also selfish. ”

"Mom, I only feel sorry for you, presumably Dad became emotionally abnormal because he didn't bring you a stable and rich life. It's only now that I can fully appreciate my father's mentality. ”

"Just your father, in fact, I have more guilt for him, he was originally a talented person, just because of me, he fled to this small city, not only let his talent have nowhere to show, but even the basic life, you have to be relieved by Uncle Chu." Lin Jinwen remembered that time, and the corners of his eyes inadvertently moistened again.

"It's the so-called family interests, the so-called family match, so you and your father have become victims of the family?" Lin Yuhao said.

"Mom used to be incomprehensible, I was their biological child, his own sister, but what did they do? As the so-called wind and rain wealthy, the people living in it, in addition to material wealth, seem to be spiritually forever scarce, they love and kill each other for their own selfishness, it seems to have become commonplace. Lin Jinwen paused, and then said slowly:

"For the long-term rise and fall of the family, our family affairs have been set by our parents at a very young age, so we don't even have the right to choose our lover."

"Then who was my mother's marriage partner back then?" Lin Yuhao asked curiously.
