When Xiang Ci saw Ye Kai coming out, he panicked, slipped and fell to the ground.

The next moment, he was pulled up: "Be serious."

It's the third brother.

Xiang Xinbai's face was filled with helplessness and doting: "Don't think too much, no one is forcing you."

Xiang Ci's nose became sour and she responded in a low voice: "Yeah."

From the corner of her eye, she saw Ye Kai walking toward the back. He used to stand next to her.

That's fine too.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Xiang Ci ran away alone after breakfast, without even Xiang Wan and Xiang Ling.

Ye Kai subconsciously wanted to chase him, but stopped in the next breath and looked towards Xiang Xinbai.

Without saying anything, Xiang Xinbai understood, patted Ye Kai on the shoulder, and chased Xiang Ci in the direction he left.

Ye Kai stood there in a daze for a long time before turning around and saying to Xiang Xinsong, "Brother, I went hunting in the mountains and may not come back for dinner today."

Since Xiao Qi doesn't want to see him, then he shouldn't appear in front of her.

This is her home, and she is the one who should leave, not her.

Everyone in the yard looked at him. Ye Kai really couldn't laugh, so he had to pretend not to see everyone's concern.

Carrying a bow and arrow, a machete, a big fluffy steamed bun made in the morning, and a water bag of nectar water, he walked quickly towards the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back.

Xiang Xinsong looked at Ye Kai walking away and felt that his back was lonely, sad and sad.

This child has integrated into this family, and now it is like this. It is really uncomfortable to watch.

But Xiaoqi's happiness is also important.

Xiang Xinsong blinked away the soreness in his eyes before looking at Ms. Cui: "Mom, I'm happy to say that I might not go home for dinner today."

Ms. Cui, with red eyes, threw her tiger-toed shoes at him and choked, "I heard it."

Xiang Xinsong didn't dare to hide, so he let the tiger-head shoe hit him, then caught it and carefully returned it to Cui.

Mrs. Cui wiped her eyes and lowered her head to make tiger-head shoes: "Your aunt was only thirteen years old when she married into the Ye family."

Xiang Xinsong didn't dare to speak out. Although he had heard this story before, he didn't dare to interrupt at this time.

Cui's voice trembled slightly: "There was a severe drought that year and there was no food in the fields. My family had a large population but little food."

"The day your second uncle died of starvation, your grandmother held your second uncle's body and cried so hard that she almost died."

Yan held her cold hand and said, "Sister-in-law."

She had heard this story before. When her sister-in-law told it, it was the year Ye Kai was brought back.

Ms. Cui's voice was filled with tears: "Your aunt cut grass and sold herself, but when others heard that she wanted a bucket of grain, they all refused."

"Young Master Ye came out of the hospital. Your aunt held Mr. Ye's legs and cried, asking him to buy her..."

When Miss Cui was thirteen years old, there was a severe drought. The family had no food and had to eat bark, grass and trees.

Her second brother died of starvation in this way.

Miss Cui looked at her younger brothers and sisters who couldn't even cry. She gnawed the roots of the tree in distress and walked to the town alone.

She grows grass and sells it for herself, all she needs is a bushel of grain.

A bucket of grain is more important than ten lives. No one would buy a girl with a yellow face and skinny muscles.

What's more, at this time, there are a lot of people selling grass for themselves, and most of them are beautiful girls. No one will buy the thin and ugly girls at all.

As soon as Ye Gongzi came out of the medical clinic, Miss Cui knelt in front of him and asked him to buy her. She would do anything.

Mr. Ye did not buy Miss Cui, but secretly gave her two liters of rice.

Miss Cui tied the rice to her calf, covered it with loose pants, and took the rice home.

Miss Cui told her family that she had sold herself, the rice was her price, and she was going to be a slave in that person's house.

The Cui family couldn't cry anymore, and they couldn't persuade her to stay. After all, if she stayed here, she would only starve to death. It was better to follow someone else, as long as she could survive.

The next day Miss Cui returned to town and stood guard at the door of the medical center, where she met Mr. Ye again.

Mr. Ye took Miss Cui home, who couldn't get rid of him. He also had a ten-year-old son at home.

Miss Cui had always said that she would sell herself to Mr. Ye, but Mr. Ye did not agree.

In fact, Mr. Ye was very ill at this time, and what he was most worried about was his son.

Mr. Ye has some wealth. If he dies, his son will be bullied if he cannot start his own business before he reaches the age of twelve.

At this time, he urgently needed a house to fill in to take over his property and raise his son.

After hearing what he said, Miss Cui decisively married him to fill a house.

Two months after the wedding, Mr. Ye died of illness, leaving thirteen-year-old Miss Cui with her ten-year-old stepson.

Miss Cui has lived in the town with her stepson for two years. She hardly goes out, and people almost think that the family is dead.

The orphan and widowed mother were bullied, so Miss Cui took her stepson to marry an orphan hunter from her grandmother's village who was injured and could not move.

The two and a half-year-old children lived together and raised their stepson Ye Xiaogongzi, who was only a few years younger.

Miss Cui promised Mr. Ye that she would raise his son and make him a useful person. She would do it and use it to repay the kindness of Mr. Ye for the two liters of grain.

Miss Cui used the money left by Young Master Ye to let Young Master Ye attend a private school.

Young Master Ye is very sensible. He passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. He is a talented person, elegant and gentle. He is the most handsome young boy in these mountains.

When Young Master Ye was weak, he became a civil servant, got married, and gave birth to Young Master Ye Kai.

Everything was so perfect and happy, but misfortunes also followed.

When Xiao Yekai was five years old, a group of bandits came to the village, bloodbathed the Orion family at the foot of the mountain, and robbed everything.

Xiao Yekai was hidden in a water tank by his mother and escaped death, but he witnessed the death of his family with his own eyes.

At this time, Miss Cui has become Grandma Cui.

Grandma Cui woke up after the robbers left.

With blood all over his body and Xiao Yekai, who was too frightened and unable to cry, he traveled over the mountains and ridges to Xiangjiacun to find Ms. Cui.

Grandma Cui handed Xiaoye Kai to Mrs. Cui and asked Mrs. Cui to raise him.

Ms. Cui took over the silly, cute Xiao Yekai and promised to this day.

This matter was too depressing and bloody, and Ms. Cui didn't want to talk about it.

But now she said it again.

Mrs. Cui wiped away her tears and cried with trembling lips: "He is the only one in his family. We don't even want him anymore. Where can he go?"

"Just him?"

"There is no place to hide, so we can only hide in the mountains."

Ms. Cui still couldn't control her emotions. She put her tiger-head shoes into her sewing basket and walked quickly towards her room.

Xiang Renzhou hurriedly chased her into the room, clumsily trying to comfort her: "Both Xiaoqi and Kaixin will not feel well if you act like this."

"That's why I didn't tell them in front of them." Cui lost her temper at Xiang Renzhou, "What are you doing here? You're laughing at me. Get out."

Xiang Renzhou didn't dare to say anything and let Cui push him out of the room.

Standing at the door of the hall, looking at the sunny sky, my heart felt cold: "What is this!"
