"What's the matter? I've been unhappy all day."
On weekends, Lin Zhibai went back to the shop to help out. After a busy day, after washing up, the two of them lay on the bed, Meng Xiangbei put his arms around the boy, and asked in a low voice.
Throughout the day today, he could clearly see that the young man was depressed and lost his mind from time to time.
Lin Zhibai buried her head in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and said sullenly, "A few days ago, I met a man at school."
As he spoke, Lin Zhibai told about Lin Ya and his relationship with the Lin family, and finally mentioned the death of his parents.
"...I was only five years old at that time, and my family's economy was not very good at that time. I remember that my father was very happy that day. He said that he could finally go to work in a state-owned unit. You should know that the state-owned units at that time were even bigger than they are now. Rare. Dad said that with a high salary, my mother and I don’t have to live a hard life with him. We can buy meat and have new clothes to wear, and we won’t almost let me, who was in poor health since I was a child, suffer because of lack of money. Had a fever and nearly died. But..."
Lin Zhibai was curled up by Meng Xiangbei's fingers in his palm, his eyes were covered with mist.
He will never forget that day, when his parents told him the good news, but they were fine before going out, but when he came back, what he saw were grandparents weeping, uncle sighing, and behind them, letting go The remains of his parents on the tractor.
"Zhibai, your parents are dead." Grandma hugged him who was stunned.
She said his parents accidentally fell down the mountain and died.
At that time, at the age of five, he didn't quite understand what "death" really was.
He pushed away grandma and ran to mom and dad, and saw their clothes were torn by something, their bodies were covered in messy dead leaves, their faces were stained with mud, their heads had a hole, and they were bleeding continuously.
He threw himself on Mom and Dad, crying, but they lay there, eyes closed, motionless, cold.
After that, he finally understood that Mom and Dad couldn't talk, move, hug him, kiss him on the cheek, or call him "in vain".
Holding hands by his grandmother, he saw his parents buried in a pit with his own eyes. He knew that his parents would never come back again.
Afterwards, the uncle, who was unemployed at home, went to work in a state-owned unit, and his life got better and better, while he lost his parents and lived under the fence.
At that time, he was only five years old, and he couldn't think too much. Until he was 17 years old, he accidentally heard his uncle tell his grandparents about letting him go to the countryside instead of his cousin. Grandma seemed to disagree at first, and reprimanded him, " Don't forget, how did you get your job? Back then, if it wasn't for you, your brother wouldn't have..."
The following words came to an abrupt end because of the uncle's fury.
After all, the dead were no match for the widow, so he was forced to go to the countryside instead of his cousin.
"So you suspect that your parents' death is related to your uncle."
"Mmm." Under the mist in Lin Zhibai's eyes, there was a faint layer of blood, with a touch of hatred.
The person in the arms was not hysterical, and quietly leaned against Meng Xiangbei's chest. He felt the wetness of the clothes on his chest, and the young man wept silently, with a sense of sadness lingering all over his body.
Meng Xiangbei's heart ached, he clenched his hands tightly, and lowered his head to press a kiss on the boy's forehead.
"Xiaobai, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, the truth will be revealed one day, and..."
"You are not alone, I will always be by your side."
The young man in his arms was stunned for a moment, and finally no longer bored alone, he endured it and wept loudly, as if he wanted to explain the grievances of the past ten years.
After a long time, after crying, the much relieved boy fell asleep in the crook of Meng Xiangbei's arms.
In the darkness, Meng Xiangbei's ink eyes flashed a hint of savvy. Knowing Lin Zhibai's previous life, he knew that the death of Lin's father and Lin's mother was not simply related to this so-called uncle.
After being scolded by Lin Zhibai that day, Lin Ya was irritable for several days, especially Lin Zhibai had doubts about the death of his parents.
She did not appear in front of Lin Zhibai, which did not hinder her curiosity and exploration.
She found out that Lin Zhibai didn't live on campus on weekends, but they had the same school time, so she couldn't stop Lin Zhibai in advance.
However, she was lucky, no, she came to the bookstore to buy books, and when she looked up inadvertently, she saw Lin Zhibai not far away.
It was a shop named "Meng's Restaurant", there were many people coming and going, and Lin Zhibai was busy cashiering there.
Lin Zhibai is really promising, a dignified college student, reduced to work in a small restaurant, really embarrassing Kyoto University.
Today, the self-employed have just emerged, and anyone with insight knows that in this golden age everywhere, the self-employed are the most profitable.
It's just that, when it first emerged, self-employed people were looked down upon, especially those who held iron rice bowls and worked for self-employed people.
Lin Ya's family, following her father's promotion, the family moved from G City to Kyoto three years ago.
On the way home, she kept thinking about Lin Zhibai, and as soon as she stepped into the house, she heard her father and brother arguing.
Lin Ya's father, named Lin Jianguo, married a wife, Lin Ya's mother named Sun Xuezhen, and they had two children. The elder brother, Lin Wen, was two years older than Lin Zhibai, followed by Lin Ya.
Speaking of Lin Wen, he is a pampered person.
When I was young, my grades were poor, and I fought and skipped classes everywhere. When I was a child, I was loose, idle, and a little lecherous. Now I am in my twenties, I have achieved nothing, and I am at home.
Lin Jianguo and Sun Xuezhen sighed many times and tried to discipline them, but they were defeated after a fierce dispute with Lin Wen.
"I don't want to marry. If I want to marry you, I will be an ugly monster."
"I like Yang Hui."
"That's the marriage you made with that old man. It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I just don't want to marry."
Lin Wen's voice was louder than that of Lin Jianguo, who had always behaved politely. Lin Ya bit the bullet and entered the door. He glanced over with angry eyes, snorted heavily, and slammed the door into his room.
Lin Jianguo's hand pointing at his back trembled, his chest heaved violently, Lin Ya hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"You son of a bitch, Yaya, if your brother is half as good as you, your mother and I will be content."
Hearing Lin Jianguo's emotion from the bottom of his heart, Lin Ya with downcast eyes sneered slightly, no, it's different, she is a girl and her brother is a boy, no matter how bastard her brother is, a girl will never be as good as a boy.
Lin Ya also grew up pampered, but compared to her elder brother Lin Wen, she is still much worse. She doesn't get much attention from her grandparents and parents, which is probably one of the reasons why she vented her disgust on poor Lin Zhibai.
Meeting Lin Zhibai again, listening to such unintentional words again, the malice hidden in Lin Ya's heart was uncovered again.
Lin Wen didn't come out of the room until dinner. During the meal, the whole family had a cold face.
Lin Ya took a mouthful of chicken soup, and casually talked about meeting Lin Zhibai.
Looking up, out of the corner of her eye, she happened to see her father whose expression had changed, and her brows frowned slightly.
"Isn't Zhibai in the country? Why did he suddenly become a college student? He must not have done anything bad."
"Mom and Dad, I know that this child is too heartless. Anyway, we raised him up, even if he is not grateful, but you are here, don't you want to come back to see grandpa and grandma?"
"A good college student, why did he go to work, it is really worthless."
Sun Xuezhen is a middle school teacher with a strong job. She married such a capable husband as Lin Jianguo. After so many years of superior life, she has developed an arrogant temperament and always likes to teach others, except for her son Lin Wen.
Like Lin Ya, she didn't like Lin Zhibai since she was a child, and she was picky about everything.
When the two old people heard about Lin Zhibai's grandson, they didn't say much except that they were touched at first.
They depended on their elder son for the elderly. After so many years, they were used to being silent and listening to their elder son and daughter-in-law, especially they didn't have much affection for Lin Zhibai, the younger grandson.
Lin Zhibai's topic came up suddenly, except for Sun Xuezhen who was dissatisfied and nagging, the others didn't speak, probably because they hadn't thought of how to deal with this person who popped up suddenly.
Suddenly, Lin Wen who was eating the chicken leg opposite seemed to think of something, put down the chicken leg, turned to Lin Jianguo and said, "Dad, tell Lin Zhibai to marry that woman."
On weekends, Lin Zhibai went back to the shop to help out. After a busy day, after washing up, the two of them lay on the bed, Meng Xiangbei put his arms around the boy, and asked in a low voice.
Throughout the day today, he could clearly see that the young man was depressed and lost his mind from time to time.
