He Huan's gaze suddenly turned cold, her head hung down, her long hair covered her face, Zhou Shen couldn't see her expression, only a slightly hoarse voice.

"My dad had a car accident that night, he drank two bottles of beer at the stall in front of the hotel, and he couldn't wait for my mom to come out, and when he drove back, he hit someone, he broke a leg, but the other party became a vegetative person. The police ruled that my dad was fully responsible, and the family's savings were not enough for compensation at all, and then my mother took the money out......" He Huan was only six years old at the time, but she remembered many things very clearly, "I remember that on the day of the showdown between my mother and my dad, he had just been discharged from the hospital, his leg did not recover, and he quarreled with my mother on crutches, I hid in the room and peeked through the crack in the door, and saw my mother take out a bulging bag, which was the money that Shen Yuelin gave her, my father refused to ask for it, and threw all the money on her face......"

"He Hai, can you be more mature? You look like this, how can you have the money to pay your family? ”

"That's also my business, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, it won't cost you the money of your concubine, take this money back, I'm dirty!"

He Huan still remembers the scene of their quarrel, which was very fierce.

"That was the first time I saw my dad treat my mom so badly, and at the end of the argument my dad cried and sat on the threshold... Just this threshold......" He Huan pointed to the wooden threshold a few steps away, "I always remember my father's back at that time, the leg that was broken was stretched out and still shaking, his back was stiff, and his body that was quite strong before was so thin that he couldn't look like it..."

Six-year-old He Huan hid behind the door, watching He Hai and Jiang Xiuyu arguing, there may be some things that she may not understand when she is so young, but the coldness and selfishness of people's hearts took root in her small heart that night.

"My dad sat on the threshold and smoked a few cigarettes, my mom also stopped, no longer arguing, the two of them were so stiff, stiff until finally my mom couldn't stand it, and finally filed for divorce, my dad didn't say anything, he expected it to be sooner or later, he agreed at the time, but after agreeing, he stood up from the threshold and looked at me......"

That glance became the beginning of He Huan's nightmare, but it was so painful, so cold, and He Hai's bloodshot eyes were full of cruel determination.

He Hai's eyes at that time He Huan naturally didn't understand, and when she understood one day, it was many years later.

"My dad limped over and dragged me from behind the door to my mom, forcing my mom to take me away or he wouldn't sign the divorce agreement. I refused at the time, I kept crying, but my dad pushed me out along with my mother..."He Huan turned around and looked at Zhou Shen again, "His leg is very lame, and he fell a few times when he pushed my mother and me, but he still pushed me away...... My mother had no choice, in order to be able to divorce, she could only take me to the Shen family, that was the last time I saw my dad before I was ten years old, I refused to leave, standing at the door crying, my mom forcibly picked me up, I was taken away from this place on her shoulder, the last time I always remember, my dad limped on the ground to pick up money, a neatly tied ticket..."

For so many years, she hated the word "money" so much, and she could sell everything for "money".

You know why?

Because He Huan already knew the advantages and disadvantages of money when he was six years old, it can make people confident, have the ability to insult people as they want, and can also make people become obsessed and become not themselves.

Later, He Hai still received the money, which was Shen Yuelin's money, and he sold his wife and children in exchange for the money.

He Huan still often thinks of the scene of that night after many years, He Hai's rickety back squatted under the light to pick up the money, what was his mood at that time?

About a few years ago, He Huan found an opportunity to ask him, and he replied: "Many things have become a foregone conclusion, your mother will definitely not stay in this house anymore, I can't go to rent anymore if I'm lame, I can't support myself, what dignity do you want?" As for you...... Dad wants you to follow your mom to live a good life......"

He Hai drove He Huan away out of fatherly love, knowing that he was not capable of giving her a better future, but maybe he made the wrong decision.

In those years, He Huan was not happy in the Shen family, and even feared every day, for fear that if he did something wrong or even said the wrong word, he would be innocently abused and beaten.

"I met my dad again when I was about 10 years old, I was already in elementary school, and there were times when the driver was late for the end of school, and I was waiting at the school gate, and my dad was hiding behind a tree across the road to watch me...... Later I found out that this was not the first time, but he didn't dare to come to me with a name, and my mother warned him not to show up again, and he himself was afraid of losing my face......"

He Huan's voice suddenly choked up.

At that time, He Hai was already decadent, had no formal job, lived on the monthly subsistence allowance and the disabled allowance, smoked and drank heavily, and learned to gamble, he was useless, and the only one who was still worried about his daughter.

He Huan would often see He Hai at the school gate after that, but she never approached to talk to him, and He Hai was also interested and always hid far away.

Until Tianjiang Xiuyu came to pick up He Huan in person, there happened to be a stall selling egg scones at the school gate, and many students asked their parents to buy it, because the taste was too fragrant.

He Huan made a request to Jiang Xiuyu for a long time, but she was counted down.

"Can you eat this kind of thing? It's not hygienic, you shouldn't eat this kind of roadside stall! ”

He Huan could only swallow tears and go back with her at that time, but as soon as he left the school gate the next day, He Hai suddenly rushed over, took out a paper bag from his pocket and stuffed it into her arms, it was still hot.

"Take it, don't show it to your mother, eat it."

When He Huan said this, she was already crying, and Zhou Shen's throat swelled, but she didn't interrupt her.

"I opened the paper bag and cried, it was a hot omelet with sausages that I liked to eat......"

He Huan forgave He Hai for driving her away for that piece of egg cake, and then slowly grew up, and she also understood He Hai's good intentions a little bit, but how should she and He Hai suffer over the years?

"My dad has been a mess all these years, I know he is very bitter in his heart, and I am not the same, but after all, there is still a family...... Later, when I was older, I would run back to Tsing Yi Lane if I was wronged in the Shen family, and my father coaxed me, and I could go back with full blood, but now? I don't even have this home......"

He Huan looked up at the ashes and sores in his eyes, and unconsciously wrapped his arms around himself and hugged him.

It's winter, it's so cold, but she doesn't even have a place to stay, she was burned down by a fire, and He Hai is still lying in the hospital.

Whose responsibility is it?

He Huan suddenly turned around and looked at Zhou Shen coldly.

She didn't want to argue whose responsibility it was, she just knew she was cornered.

"I know you've always wanted to demolish this house, and you've done everything you can to force my dad to sign it, and now that the house has burned down, you should be the most proud, but have you ever thought about what this house means to us? …… My dad and I have been wronged for so many years because we are too poor, but we have not given up. I worked very hard to earn money, so that I no longer had to reach out to use the Shen family's money, I was willing to do anything in order to see a doctor for my father, I had done all the hard and tiring work, we lived so hard and so hard, just to have some dignity...... Do you understand? The dignity of the poor, it's very difficult, unlike you, you have everything with your fingers......"

He Huan's voice was already shattered, and there was no logic in his speech.

Many things are out of her control, she has always felt that she is a very strong person who can endure hard part-time work, but after He Hai's accident, she realized that she was completely weak.

In the past, she was not afraid of no matter how hard she suffered, that was because she knew that there was a home behind her and a father who loved her, although it was only a house with broken bricks and tiles, He Hai couldn't help her anything, but at least she still had a way out.

A backing similar to a support can give her shelter from the wind and rain.

Now that everything is gone, she knows that her shoulders are too narrow, her strength is too small, and where can she hide by herself in the wind and rain?

He Huan had already whimpered at the end.

In fact, it doesn't make the slightest sense to know these words to the man in front of him, he is not from the same class as himself at all, how can he understand his suffering?

But she worked so hard alone, she was under too much pressure during this time, and she encountered this kind of thing again tonight, so she used the strength of wine to express the bitterness in her heart.

The snow seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the cold wind could almost swallow her.

He Huan stopped talking, and squatted there and swayed.

Zhou Shen looked at the figure shrunk into a ball in front of him, feeling distressed to no avail, he reached out and pulled her arm.

"I know you're sad, let's go back to the car first, it's too cold in here."

He Huan disagreed, after saying these pains in his heart, the pain seemed to be infinitely magnified, and the anger and sadness erupted like a torrent.

She shook off Zhou Shen's hand: "Let's go, the house has burned down, you should be satisfied now, as for the medical expenses you gave my dad before, I will return it to you as soon as possible!" ”

She poured all her anger on Zhou Shen, and she didn't know what was wrong, why was she so sad and sad? Is it just because I drank too much?

Zhou Shen was pushed back by her, but he finally held on, and instead of leaving, he pinched her wrist and asked, "What do you take?" Marry Chi Rongjie and then use the Chi family's money to pay it back? ”

"Yes, with the Chi family's money, I will definitely pay it back to you anyway!"

"Then what's the difference between this and your use of Shen Yuelin's money? Besides, you don't know what Chi Rongjie is like? ”

"I know, I know he's a scoundrel, but so what? My dad is still lying in the septum ward, and the daily hospitalization and medical expenses are several thousand, and I have no other choice, so even if I know that the Chi family is another fire pit, I have to force myself to jump into it! ”

He Huan's attitude became very cold when he said these words, obviously there were tears on his face, but those eyes became sharp knives, and each eye cut at Zhou Shen's heart.

The snow seemed to be a little heavier again, and the wind blew her hair, and white snow fell on the ends of her hair and eyebrows.

Zhou Shen always felt that he couldn't understand this girl.

From the first time he saw her, she seemed to be at the extremes of weakness and tenacity, but at either end, one thing was certain, she made him feel distressed.

It's not sympathy, it's guilt, it's distress.

"Are you not married to the Chi family?" Zhou Shen asked suddenly.

He Huan paused: "Do I have any other choice?" ”

"Then what did the Chi family promise you?"

“…… What do you mean? He Huan didn't understand why he asked.

Zhou Shen suddenly let go of her wrist, and her voice became extremely firm: "Let me ask you, what did the Chi family promise you, and you are willing to marry it!" ”

"Money." He Huan replied quickly, and seemed to have a somewhat self-deprecating tone, "As long as I marry Chi Rongjie, the Chi family promises to always bear my father's treatment fees, and will also give me a million gifts." ”

"That's all?" Zhou Shen's voice was light and cold, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

"If you can marry Chi Rongjie for this money, you might as well let us negotiate a condition."

"What?"

"Follow me, I can do what the Chi family promised you, and I can even promise more, so let's negotiate a condition, you withdraw from the Chi family's marriage contract, and I will marry you."

"......" estimated that this was the worst cold joke He Huan had ever heard at such a young age, but it was very lethal, and the wine was half awakened by him.

She didn't give any answer, which made her just get up and walk to the other side of the alley.

Zhou Shen frowned, ran two steps to catch up with He Huan and grabbed her.

"How?"

"What do you say?"

"My proposal!"

“……”

At that time, the snow was already falling heavily, and there were a lot of snow beads on He Huan's eyelashes and hair, she looked at the man in front of her in a daze, and her heart was messy, sad, upset, and grievances seemed to be gone, and she was scared away by him.

It felt like everything was untrue, including what he had just said.

"Are you kidding?"

"You think I'm kidding?"

"But you ......" He Huan suddenly felt that her heart was stuffy, she raised her head and panted, and countless white snowflakes fell on her under the sky, she was overwhelmed, and she felt that something was messed up, but it was clear that her heart was beating hard.

"Give me a reason why you suddenly... To say something like this suddenly, if not a joke, I need a reason. ”

It takes a reason to back her up and convince her that he's not joking.

Zhou Shen smiled suddenly, very light but helpless.

She was forcing him, forcing his mouth to be dry, so he could only rub his hands on his face, loosening the frozen facial nerves.

"Okay, if you want a reason, I'll give it to you." Zhou Shen let go of her hand, "I still remember that in the hospital before, I saw Shen Mingyue go to ask you for money, and you asked me at that time, I paid for your father's medical expenses in advance, was it because of sympathy or guilt!" I couldn't answer that question at the time, and now I'll tell you...... It's neither, I'm neither sympathetic nor guilty, but distressed...... I feel sorry for you to bear so many grievances for that money, I will remember the way you looked at that time for a lifetime, and Shen Mingyue said that she had nothing to pay back, but I was obviously very aggrieved in my heart, I thought at that time, you shouldn't be like this, I don't want you to be like this, I don't want you to be like this......"

He Huan was already in a state of complete sluggishness.

The biting snow fell on her cheeks and lips, and she didn't react at all, just staring at Zhou Shen in amazement.

It turns out that he would say such beautiful things.

It is estimated that everyone can't imagine that Zhou Shen would say such beautiful words.

"He Huan..." he raised his hand, his slightly hot fingertips brushed her cheeks, dusting off the snow from her eyebrows and face, and finally his fingertips rested on her lips, "I know it's inappropriate for me to say this to you, and I admit that those words just now were a little impulsive, but one thing can be guaranteed, I mean it and I don't mean it." ”

He Huan was stunned for a long time.

Zhou Shen looked at her face, and suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to "grow old", and when she gave her an answer, he felt that he was already many years old.

"Can you give me a reaction?" His fingers moved along He Huan's lips.

He Huan's body suddenly weakened, and the whole person squatted down, crying all of a sudden......

The small figure shrunk at Zhou Shen's feet, draped in his coat, the top of his head was chilled by the moonlight, and his dense hair spread out on his shoulders.

The snow is falling so heavily, and it's cold all over the world, but what's the matter?

Zhou Shen slowly squatted down and hugged He Huan, who was crying a lot, into his arms, on top of this ruin, he ruined her home, but finally had the courage to promise to give her a shoulder.

He Huan cried for a long time, and it is estimated that all the tears of so many years flowed out at once, and he was so sweet that the weight of the whole person behind him was all pressed on Zhou Shen's body.

Zhou Shen was so cold that he only wore a thin sweater on his body, and the coat was given to He Huan.

"Okay, whether you agree or not, don't cry anymore, okay?"

She only needs a tear to make him mess up, and now that the torrent is erupting, Zhou Shen feels that he really wants to marry this girl, and it is estimated that he will not live long.

He Huan cried and cried, and his voice gradually decreased, leaving only his shoulders shaking and sinking in his arms.

Zhou Shen didn't coax anymore, knowing that she was wronged, let her cry enough.

After about ten minutes, the person in his arms finally stopped sobbing, and even his shoulders no longer trembled.

Zhou Shen breathed a sigh of relief and patted her.

"Are you crying? If you are relieved, go to my place tonight, the hospital will definitely not be able to enter so late. ”

The person in his arms didn't react, Zhou Shen slapped it a few more times, felt that something was wrong, and picked up the person in his arms to take a look, he couldn't cry or laugh.

He Huan didn't know when he had fallen asleep on his chest, maybe because of the strength of the wine, or maybe because he was tired of crying.

Zhou Shen felt that he was begging for hardship, but looking at He Huan's face, his brows were furrowed very tightly, and there were tears on his eyelashes, which was enough to make his heart soften.

Forsythia, a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, received a call from Zhou Shen in the middle of the night.

"Hey..."

"Forsythia, I'm proposing!"

"What?"

"I said I proposed to a girl."

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Forsythia threw the fetal heart rate in her hand and sat up from the bed, "Are you dreaming?" Or am I dreaming? Tell me who the other party is. How old is it? How did you meet...... No, let me calm down... And did she promise you? ”

Hula la is all about problems.

Zhou Shen smiled helplessly, looked at He Huan, who was sitting in his passenger seat and was sleeping so much that he was about to snore, and shook his head: "She drank too much tonight, I proposed when she was drunk, I don't know how much she remembers when she wakes up tomorrow morning." ”
