Republic of China

He still had to come forward.

"Okay, then let's take our leave. I'll come back tomorrow evening. Fulai and my sister will take care of you. Oh, Mr. Shen helped me last time, and Mr. Tong would like to express his deep gratitude to you." Mr. Tong stood up quickly Standing up to say goodbye to Shen Yuezhi, Adjutant Zhao behind him also bowed deeply.

"I'll take the two of you out." After Yuezhi finished speaking, he sent them out, and then returned to the courtyard. He couldn't help but glanced at the West Room. Mrs. Tong was sitting in the room talking to Fulai. His expressions were very worried, especially the old lady's eyes seemed to have a bit of sadness and sorrow.

After knowing my life experience, I am very entangled

After hearing what his mother said, Fulai asked in a daze, "Mother, what you said is true...is he my father?"

She sighed sadly: "Well...he is your own father." Although this made her feel ashamed and regretted the past, it was a very happy thing to give birth to Fulai, and her life can be regarded as Not in vain.

Tong Fulai sat on the bed and his hair was stunned. Did Mr. Tong come to the house just now to recognize himself?

She frowned and covered her face and said, "He is not only your father, but also my brother." Although it was hard to tell, she always had to face her son.

As soon as these words came out, Fulai was even more shocked. He looked at his haggard mother speechlessly, and could not speak anymore.

The old lady Tong covered her face and said tremblingly: "I was only 12 years old when your grandparents passed away. Your father was the so-called elder brother as father. We brothers and sisters guarded some ancestral property to make a living. Your father later went to After studying in Japan and returning to China, he became a military officer. At first he served in the Beiyang government, and we still lived in Beijing, but at that time your father seemed to be a different person. He regarded me as his thing, and he would treat me at every turn. I got angry, even though he was married and had two children at that time, he would still be with me, not long after you were born... I heard that your father is going to send you to the country to be raised by others , fell out with him, took you out secretly, and broke up with him from then on."

Fulai lowered his head slowly when he heard what his mother said. It seems that he was "disliked" by his father since he was born. If he is a normal man, if he is a normal man, even if he is a girl, his father would not be able to Throw him aside and ignore him.But this can't be blamed on the father, it's only blamed on him for generating this appearance.

Early the next morning, after Aunt Tong went out, Shen Yuezhi came to the west room and asked the person lying on the kang with concern: "Is it better?"

Fulai stared at the roof thoughtfully and replied in a daze: "It's okay, just rest for a few days." He didn't sleep well all night, thinking about what happened yesterday, he suddenly had a father, and father It turned out to be the mother's own brother, this is incest, so he was born with this appearance, hehe, this is the misfortune of the Tong family, why does the father of a son like him want to recognize each other?He thought about it and couldn't figure it out...

Yuezhi held his hand and said softly: "Have your mother told you about your father?"

He nodded blankly.

"Mr. Tong told me yesterday that he wants to take you back to Guangzhou." Although he was not happy to leave Fulai, how could he prevent his family from being reunited and getting to know each other as flesh and blood?

Only then did Fulai turn around and ask, "Did he really say that?"

Boss Shen let out a "huh", stroked his bangs and said, "I don't want you to leave, but your father said that he will arrange your life well. When you arrive in Guangzhou, you will be the second young master of Tong's family, and you don't have to work hard every day." Pulling carts for others to earn a living.” In fact, he was very happy for Fulai.

Tong Fulai shook his head, and he replied with a wry smile: "My mother won't let me meet my father, and she won't let me go to Guangzhou."

"Why?" Shen Yuezhi was very puzzled, he really couldn't understand what the old lady was thinking.

"My mother can't forgive him. Back then, my father sent me to someone else for foster care." When he said this, he frowned, but he couldn't blame his father.But the mother couldn't forgive her father. She thought that she should have the same rights as her brother and sister, because he was also the blood of the Tong family.

Only now did Shen Yuezhi realize that the old lady was angry with Mr. Tong because of this matter, and it would be difficult for him to forgive her.But since Mr. Tong has said that he wants to take them back to Guangzhou, it proves that he has regrets. In any case, it is a good thing for Fulai to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan. We should put aside the past for the time being. There must be no way out after pulling a foreign car.

"What did you plan? It's up to you to decide in the end." With a gentle smile, Yuezhi sat down at the end of the bed, carefully lifted Fulai's injured foot out of the bed, and examined it carefully. It seemed that it was not as swollen as yesterday , It should be almost better in two days.

Fulai turned her head to look at him and said, "I have to stay with my mother, she has worked so hard to raise me, I can't make her sad, I have to obey her, otherwise it is unfilial."

Yuezhi put his feet under the quilt, and persuaded softly: "If you go to Guangzhou, your mother will be taken care of, and your illness will recover faster. You should plan for the future."

The coachman looked at his energetic eyes and asked hesitantly, "I don't know if everything will go well in Guangzhou."

Boss Shen frowned and shook his head: "This... I can't tell." Fulai's worry is indeed very reasonable. No one knows the situation of Tong's family now. The situation of the family is not the same, but there are many examples of brothers turning against each other for profit. Of course, this is not the case in the Shen family. The elder brother is more kind and caring for him since he was a child, and the aunt loves him very much. Whenever he argues with his father, he still talks to himself.

He rubbed his numb temples, and said in a low voice: "If you go to Guangzhou, you will become a thorn in the side of others. A thorn in the flesh is not good. I don't want to get in the way."

Shen Yuezhi felt that his tone of voice was self-defeating, so he said very seriously: "Don't think about things so badly, since your father wants you and aunt to go back to Guangzhou, he will arrange everything properly."

Tong Fulai turned around and closed his eyes slightly: "It's better not to talk about it for now, are you going out these two days?" He has trouble with his legs and feet, so he can't pull Boss Shen's cart, this is his duty. .

He shook his head: "No, I won't go anywhere, just rest at home and just recover from your injuries." Not only that, Fulai was already a rich young master, so of course he can no longer pull a cart for himself.

Hearing this, the coachman calmed down, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll sleep for a while."

Yuezhi helped him cover the quilt, then quietly walked out of the west room, closed the door, and then went back to the north room to read the newspaper.But he couldn't calm down in his heart no matter what. Sure enough, if Fulai left Beijing suddenly, he would still be very reluctant, but would he have the nerve to tell people that you stay and continue to pull the cart for me?This is even more outrageous, but how can he be responsible to Fu Lai and put a man in a "golden house"?

He put down the newspaper and shook his head, but he didn't expect that his dignified Second Young Master Shen would fall at the feet of a coachman, which violated his principle of being a man who walks among thousands of flowers without leaving any leaves on his body.

A loving mother contemplates for blessing

Mrs. Tong is at Master He's home at this time, telling Master He and his wife what happened yesterday.

After listening to what she said, Master He smoked his pipe. He frowned and asked, "Sister, what are you going to do?"

"I can't let him take Fulai away, and I don't want to go to Guangzhou." Tong Chunyan gritted her teeth and replied, now she only hates that man.

Seeing her like this, Ya Lan, Master He's wife, had to persuade her: "Sister, you also have to think about Fulai's future. Although pulling a foreign car can make a living, what will happen to Fulai when he is 50 or [-]? How miserable is your coachman's life, I think you should think about it carefully."

Master He winked at his wife, telling her to stop making sarcastic remarks. Sister Tong must have her own concerns, otherwise how could she grit her teeth and raise Fulai alone?

Tong Chunyan lowered her head and said dejectedly: "My sister doesn't know something. I begged him several times, but he still insisted on sending Fulai to the countryside. He thinks the child is a burden, but Fulai is indeed a good boy. He is filial and kind. Sensible, why should he throw away the child, Fulai is the flesh that fell from my body!" Therefore, she hated her brother even more, not only did he take away her own youth, but also threw away their own son, how could she Can you forgive this man who is not as good as a beast?

Master He put down his pipe, and persuaded gently: "Sister, let me be fair, you should let Fulai decide this matter, and what Yalan said is also reasonable. He was the one who abandoned Fulai first, but now he If you want to repent and make up for you, why not try to give him a chance."

Hearing what Master He said, Tong Chunyan fell silent. Every time she saw Fulai was sweating profusely because of pulling the cart, or was injured, she was really distressed to death, but what kind of person is my brother? But she understands it very well, can he really treat Fulai kindly and sincerely?She is in her dying years and will not live for a few years, but her son still has decades to go. Should she put aside her personal grievances for now and try to talk to that person?

On the way back, Tong Chunyan was thinking about this matter. After entering the small courtyard of Daguaicang Alley, Shen Yuezhi was hanging her voice in the courtyard. She quickly said: "Mr. Shen, I'm late, I'm going to cook."

"Thank you for your hard work, auntie." Yuezhi could see that she was very worried.
