This kid won't be ......

No, no, he couldn't have known that his mother had changed, and there was more than one.

Thinking of this, Ye Lan had some confidence and scolded: "What are you talking about! I don't even know your mother anymore! ”

Liu Zixi's face was dark and uncertain, and he pursed his lips and was silent.

Ye Lan pushed him: "Go wash and sleep, and be careful that I will beat you up if you say these nonsense." ”

Liu Zixi still stared at her tightly: "Today you did it for me and Sun Laohan, you, why?" ”

"What, why? I'm your mother, do you watch him beat you? ”

"Aren't you like this before?"

Ye Lan actually heard a trace of grievance from Liu Zixi's tone, and she couldn't help but remember that once Liu Zixi was beaten up before, and his predecessor passed by him without even looking at it.

The predecessor never really cared about this child, and even felt that Liu Zixi was indiscriminate and troublesome all day long.

But Ye Lan looked at it, Liu Zixi was not as bad as his predecessor thought.

"I'm sorry, it's my mother's mistake." Ye Lan sincerely apologized to him for what this body had done, and it was the first time that she called herself a mother in front of Liu Zixi.

Liu Zixi was stunned in place, wanted to open his mouth and turned his head awkwardly.

Ye Lan looked at the young man who was only twelve years old, and organized the wording: "Before...... I want you to be independent earlier, your father left early, you are the only man in the family, I just want to force you to grow up, but now I know that I was wrong, and I hurt you in the wrong way, and my mother apologizes to you. ”

Liu Zixi was silent for a while, but said: "You don't have to tell me, you are a mother, you can do whatever you want." ”

After saying that, he didn't turn back and went into the house.

Ye Lan knew that it was impossible to let Liu Zixi eliminate the mustard in her heart all at once, but the days were still long, so take your time.

The next day, Ye Lan got up early in the morning.

She's going out for a walk today, looking for any lucrative work, and she can't let her teenage children raise her anymore.

"You made breakfast?" Liu Zixi's startled voice came.

Ye Lan hurriedly beckoned: "Come and eat, I will cook the food in the future." ”

Liu Zixi finished breakfast in a very strange mood, and heard her say again: "I'll go out with you when I'm done eating." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Find some work to do, I can't just be lazy and do nothing."

Liu Zixi stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth, frowned, and said: "I will work hard, and I can find another job, you still stay at home, no, you don't need to do anything." ”

Seeing his frightened appearance, Ye Lan couldn't help but smile and smiled: "Don't worry, I will do a good job this time, we don't want to make a lot of money, but we want food and clothing." ”

Look at how big a psychological shadow the child makes.

Zhongchengfang, where Liu's family is located, is a slum area in Los Angeles, with cramped alleys, dilapidated houses, and a few shops that only supply some firewood, rice, grain and oil for daily needs.

Liu Zixi is working in one of the shops, Ye Lan's eyes are naturally not here, but she doesn't want to go to Qinghefang and Jing'anfang, where the powerful gather, and it is good to go to Tianshifang after thinking about it.

Tianshifang is not far from Qinghefang and Jing'anfang, the road is wide, there are several prestigious restaurants, and the flow of people is also large, and the key people who live there are the middle class of Los Angeles, and they have a certain amount of spending power and will not be too eye-catching.

Compared with Zhongchengfang, Tianshifang is not a star and a half, there are many shops on the street, the hawkers are endless, and the carriages that are almost invisible in Zhongchengfang are parked in front of the major restaurants and tea shops.

The noise in front of the restaurant attracted Ye Lan's attention, and she saw many people gathered in front of the restaurant, with women and children crying, as well as men's beating and scolding.

Ye Lan found a space to squeeze in and saw that it was an obese man robbing a little boy of four or five years old, while the crying woman was holding the child and not letting go.

"Sister of the Sun family, let the child go, the Zhou family is considered a good family, and it is to be a scholar for the young master of the Zhou family, and it is not a wronged baby, what is the use of you forcing him to stay by his side, you see that this child has a yellow face and thin muscles, and he sent it to the Zhou family to live a good life."

Many people persuaded each other, but the woman still held the child and did not let go, crying and shaking her head: "I will raise Rui'er no matter how hard and tired I am, he is the child I brought to the world after I became pregnant in October, and I will not hand him over anything." ”

The woman's expression was firm, and the little boy named Rui'er was also tightly snuggled in his mother's arms, Ye Lan saw this scene, and couldn't help but think of the youngest son of the Liu family who was sold by his predecessor.

That's also the child born by the predecessor who broke through the ghost gate.

"I said that this woman, the Zhou family gave the money, and the deed was signed, and now this child is a member of our Zhou family, if you don't let go, I'm welcome." The steward of the Zhou family beckoned, and several people who looked like family members behind him hurriedly stepped forward.

The woman knelt down in front of the steward and pleaded, "Steward Zhou is doing well, please don't take Rui'er away, this child has never left me, he can't leave me." ”

"I'm also doing things for the Lord's family, don't come to embarrass me." Steward Zhou pushed away the begging woman, and said coldly: "Either give it to people or give money, your man has received money, and you refuse to hand it over, one of you sings red face and the other sings white face, make fun of our Zhou family!" ”

"I'll convince the boy to give you back the money, and I beg you for a few days."

"No! Master Zhou is blessed to take a fancy to your son, and he must hand him over today. ”

Saying that a few family members came forward to snatch the child, the woman was so frightened that she knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, so she could only hold the child tighter.

"Wait, Rui's father is here."

A clear voice came out of the crowd, Ye Lan turned her head to see that it was a man with a delicate and handsome face, the man's black hair was tied in a crown, and a slightly shabby robe was worn on him, but it could not hide the man's noble and elegant temperament.

Counting the previous life, this is the best-looking man Ye Lan has ever seen, that kind of good-looking is not the so-called handsome or exquisite, but the clear and handsome facial features, and the charm of the ancient scholars under the influence of poetry, books, rituals and music.

Behind the man was a tall, thin man with a guilty face, who presumably was Rui'er's father.

"Riel!" Rui'er's father stepped forward and hugged the child, regretting: "It's Daddy's mistake, it's Daddy's mistake." ”

Rui'er's father returned the money to Steward Zhou, and Steward Zhou was not embarrassed, but just threw down the deed and said disdainfully: "It's your loss not to go to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family doesn't lack you!" ”

Rui'er Niang hid her face and cried bitterly, and her lost mood couldn't help but infect Ye Lan, she didn't dare to think about it in the past two days, what happened to her parents?

If she has been unconscious or even dead, how sad her parents must be, and how much she hopes that there will be another Lan'er by their side in that world.
