Chapter 21: The Orphan
Although Du Hai's wishful thinking played well, he always couldn't hide Feng Xiangru's sensitive nerves. Feng Xiangru has learned the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child, knows how to be a wife, and is knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous.
Although on the first night, Feng Xiangru couldn't accept the adoption of a child. But after meditating for a night, she thought that the reason why Du Hai had such a strange idea was probably because she felt sorry for her and didn't want her to suffer from childbirth anymore, and her mind suddenly opened up.
In fact, adopting a child is just a delaying measure. As soon as he came, Du Ruobing had a partner, and he would no longer feel lonely. Second, the parents will no longer find any reason to urge the two to have a second child as soon as possible, so that the two also have enough time to prepare for pregnancy.
As soon as she thought of this, Feng Xiangru's heart was no longer entangled, let it be! As the daughter-in-law of the Du family and the heroine of Haicheng Group, how can there be no pattern?
On the contrary, it was Du Hai, who became a little entangled at this time. He Jie is the biological child of herself and Ge Shujuan!
Don't ask where Ge Shujuan is now, why He Jie was abandoned in the mountains, and don't particularly care about how fiercely Feng Xiangru will react to adopting He Jie, a poor child.
If he really brought He Jie home, the child's life experience, anyone in the Du family would break the sand pot and ask to the end, no one would have such a strong heart to accept a child of unknown origin.
What's more, He Jie is still her illegitimate daughter! If one day in the future, the truth suddenly surfaces, it may be a mess in the world! When the time comes, the Du family will definitely be restless, and they will become the spearhead of all public opinion overnight!
The Feng Du family will also collapse because of this, and their glory will never be restored.......
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"Jie'er? How did you get out? What about Mom? ”
Suddenly, He Jie's familiar milk baby voice sounded behind him, cute, choked with cowardice.
Hearing the sound, Du Hai hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt and stepped on it fiercely, until he found that the cigarette butt was extinguished, he quickly turned around and looked at the child behind him with a smile.
I saw He Jie's unkempt face, two deep tears on her face, and her swollen eyes looked so haggard.
Du Hai was instantly distressed, walked up to her gently, and looked at the poor little man in front of him gently.
Suddenly, Du Hai's heart was full of mixed tastes, which was very unpleasant. He leaned over and carefully hugged He Jie in his arms, his eyes full of distress.
"Uncle ......"
"Uh~ Jie'er, what's wrong? What about Mom and Dad? ”
He Jie suddenly burst into tears, and gently lay on Du Hai's shoulder and cried bitterly, her petite and thin body trembling constantly.
Du Hai was even more puzzled, a villain who was fine just now, only a moment later, changed so quickly.
Eighty percent is that something happened at home, otherwise how could a child suddenly run back from outside? Normally, she can only be at home.
"Uncle, Dad is dead~ Mom cried sadly in front of his grave. Woo woo......."
"Quick! Jie'er! Hurry up and bring your uncle over! ”
He Jie wiped her tears sadly, and cried with a whimper, very sad.
Du Hai didn't care to comfort the little girl who was crying sadly in his arms, and hurriedly followed the direction of the little girl's finger to find it.
After crossing the bumpy mountain road with difficulty and crossing a small ditch less than half a meter wide, the two finally saw Qi Xiaolian, who was crying in front of He Jian'an's tombstone.
I saw that there was a wooden tablet quietly standing in front of a new mud bag and new grave, on which the inscription "He Jian'an's Tomb" was clearly engraved. In the open space in front of you, a few white-flour steamed buns, a few small red apples, and a glass of wine were neatly arranged.
The incense candles next to it were still emitting light smoke, and the white smoke seemed so silent in this gloomy day......
Qi Xiaolian knelt motionless in front of He Jian'an's grave like this, her teary eyes were blurred but she didn't make any more sounds, and her swollen eyes were full of melancholy.......
At this point, it seems that crying has become so pale and meaningless! Qi Xiaolian really wished that she would die in front of He Jian'an's grave! After all, how can she live as a woman with a non-biological child in the future?
A family suddenly loses its only pillar, and the only reason to survive is to have to raise children who are not their own, it is better to die a hundred times!
Qi Xiaolian's heart was very entangled, if there was still a choice, she would never take He Jie home again, and let He Jie live such a floating life with herself!
While secretly harboring resentment in his heart, and blaming himself for being ruthless and unkind, such an extremely contradictory psychological war is constantly cutting Qi Xiaolian's heart.
Knowing that it was impossible for them to die without saving them, and knowing that they would have to raise He Jie as an adult no matter what in the future, however, Qi Xiaolian still couldn't help but regret it in her heart.
What are you struggling with? Everything is so unavoidable, everything is predestined.......
"Sister-in-law He, please mourn!"
"Young Master Du......"
Qi Xiaolian raised her head silently and looked at Du Hai helplessly, her face full of sadness.
Du Hai gently put down He Jie, silently walked to He Jian'an's tombstone, silently lit three pillars of incense, bowed three times, and then gently inserted it in front of the tombstone.
Then he carefully picked up the wine glass that was quietly placed on the ground, and poured it on the ground with a sad face.
Suddenly, He Jie quickly ran to Qi Xiaolian's side and hugged her tightly, and the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly and cried.
At this time, the sky began to gently drift with smoke and rain, and the gray sky, a layer of thin veil silently shrouded this thick sadness.......
"Sister-in-law He, I'll send you home. You guys are like this, and Brother He is also very uneasy. The last person he couldn't let go of during his life was your mother and daughter......"
"Young Master Du, thank you for helping our He family so much! Your great kindness, I'm afraid I can only repay it in the next life! Jian'an is gone, and I can't live anymore.
I'm worried about Jie'er. Although she is not our biological child, I have always regarded her as my own. ”
Du Hai leaned over and wanted to help Qi Xiaolian up, but without thinking, Qi Xiaolian shook off his hands and staggered to his feet.
Then, caressing He Jie's little head, tears burst out of her eyes instantly, and the crystal clear on her face at this time could no longer tell whether it was raindrops or teardrops!
Sadness melted silently in this cold smoke and rain from autumn, gradually becoming dull and gloomy, silent but unusually warm.......
Once upon a time, grief could also be embellished with warmth! The word for sentimentality is now gone!
I vaguely remember what a cold autumn afternoon it was, the cold was thick, the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, and the smoke and rain were invading Qi Xiaolian's cold body with sadness, and at the same time, it also froze the warmth and excitement of Du Hai's search for his own flesh and bones......
It was a sad autumn afternoon in the midst of the warmth! completely ended Qi Xiaolian's life, and it was also quietly affecting He Jie's life.......
"Sister-in-law He, I know, I know! I, Du Hai, thank you! Thank you for adopting this poor child! I promise you, I will arrange everything for you so that you can live a good life. Trust me! I, Du Hai, say nothing and do what I say! ”
"Young Master Du, you have already helped us a lot! I can't bother you anymore, I just hope that you can fulfill the promise you promised to Jian'an and help Jie'er find a good family!
I want my child to be happy and happy, and we can't live with her! We have spent all the savings that our parents have left her, and now we are going to give her away......"
Qi Xiaolian suddenly collapsed, her weak body trembled very much, and it was even more distressing in the smoke and rain!
However, Du Hai was also powerless, and he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only let Qi Xiaolian complain to Yanyu in the rain.......
"Sister-in-law He, I promised you, I will definitely help Jie'er find a good family! Rest assured! However, although Brother He is no longer there, there is still a long way to go, and life has to go on.
Jie'er has lost her father, who loves her dearly, and she can't afford to lose her mother again! Trust me, I can give you both a great future, okay? ”
"Thank you, Young Master Du! With your words, I am at ease! Your great kindness, our He family has nothing to repay, we can only repay it in the next life! ”
After Qi Xiaolian finished speaking, she suddenly ran to the edge of a small cliff not far away with lightning speed, and then turned around and looked at Du Hai and He Jie who were standing in place in a daze with tears in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law He! What are you doing here?! Hurry here, don't go any further! The cliffs below are dangerous! ”
"Young Master Du, Jie'er will entrust it to you! Jie'er, you have to listen to your uncle, he will take care of you for the rest of your life......."
"Mommy ......."
Du Hai quickly came back to his senses, only to find that it was too late to stop Qi Xiaolian at this time! was about to step forward to pull Qi Xiaolian back, but without thinking, Qi Xiaolian closed her eyes in despair and plunged headlong into the cliff.......
"Sister-in-law He! Ho ......."
"Mom! Mom ......."
There was no time to wake up the warmth of this world, and Qi Xiaolian was quiet forever in this cold world.......
Subsequently, the villagers who saw this scene not far away rushed over to help search and rescue. However, the time was frozen in that hazy autumn afternoon.
Since then, that tragic scene has always appeared in He Jie's little heart, lingering for a long time.....
In the afternoon of the same day, Du Hai took He Jie back to Du's house.
The moment Feng Xiangru saw He Jie, she couldn't help but moisten her eyes and collapsed to the extreme. Unexpectedly, Du Yunting, Chen Xueyu and Feng Xiangru did not have the slightest doubt after listening to Du Hai tell about He Jie's tragic life experience, but agreed with Du Hai's approach very much.
Of course, there is information about the parent-child relationship between Du Hai and He Jie, Du Hai naturally can't tell the truth, and he never mentions this matter, he wants this truth to rot in his stomach forever.
Perhaps, this will be better for He Jie's normal life. Originally, her life experience was extremely miserable, and after several twists and turns, she finally returned to the Du family, and Du Hai loved her even more.
