Chapter 32 Parents' Secret
When Yang Liu came home, he saw the thin Qiuqiu from a distance still sitting on a small bench and looking into the distance with dull eyes. The work was done, and Yang Liu felt more sorry for the child.
At this time, Lin Bo ran out of the room, pinched two toffees with his little hands, and handed one of them to Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu still looked ahead and ignored him.
Xiao Linbo didn't care at all about his sister's indifference. He awkwardly peeled off the candy wrapper, pinched the white toffee and stuffed it into Qiuqiu's mouth. He stared at it tightly and opened his mouth into a circle.
"Ah! Sister, eat some candy, it's very sweet."
The little guy persisted in stuffing candy into his sister's mouth. I don't know whether it was the sweetness of the candy or the soft and waxy voice of Xiao Linbo, but finally awakened Qiuqiu's consciousness. Qiuqiu stretched out the tip of her tongue to add some, and her eyes moved.
Then he opened his mouth and bit the candy.
Xiao Linbo felt that he had done a big thing, and he was very happy. He sat down on the low stool next to him, peeled off the remaining candy and ate it.
Drool dripped from the corners of his mouth. He turned around and asked Qiuqiu: "Sister, is it sweet?"
Qiuqiu looked back at Lin Bo and nodded.
Lin Bo smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Mom bought a lot, let's go get them after we finish eating."
Yang Liu stood there and watched the interaction between the two children, and the resentment in her heart suddenly dissipated.
"Yang Liu, are you blaming your father for making such a decision?"
At some point, Father Yang, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke, which startled Yang Liu. She pursed her lips and did not answer.
"Alas!" Dad suddenly sighed heavily: "There is something that has been pressing in my heart for decades."
Dad's voice was heavier than ever before, and Yang Liu's heart skipped a beat. Is there something she didn't know?
"I have taken care of the Zhang family for so many years because I owe Brother Zhang my life." There was deep pain in Yang's father's eyes, which frightened Yang Liu.
"Dad, what did you say?" Yang Liu's eyes widened in shock.
"Back then, that cannonball was supposed to hit me, but it was your Uncle Zhang who lay on top of me and saved my life. My leg was injured, but he..."
I have never heard my father talk about this before. Yang Liu can't tell the truth from the lie. Could it be that he said it deliberately to appease himself?
"Dad, why have I never heard you mention it?" Yang Liu asked with some difficulty.
"It's been a month since I woke up in the hospital. Your grandmother cried so much that her eyes were swollen. She talked about the difficulties of the Zhang family's orphans and widowed mothers. I was scared. I didn't dare to say that Brother Zhang died for me. I
I’m afraid that the Zhang family will come to me for help and ask why their man died but I’m still alive?”
A long memory, but it tortured this tall man all the time. He could only carry the Zhang family on his back.
The willow heads were buzzing. She remembered that when she was a child, she and her brother went to the mountains to pick up chestnuts. The two of them worked hard to move them back, peel the shells, dry them and grind them into powder. Before they could eat them, Sanya Niang borrowed them.
There are countless such things, saying that you borrowed something but never paying it back.
Her father treated the Zhang family better than her siblings, so she never liked the Zhang family.
In her previous life, she didn't know these things until her death, and she couldn't remember the fate of the Zhang family, including Zhang Sanya and Qiuqiu.
Yang Liu looked at her father and comforted her with gentle words: "Dad, it's all over now. I will take good care of Qiuqiu and treat her as my biological daughter. Don't blame yourself."
In the kitchen, Yangliu lit the fire, and saw Yang's mother taking an egg, cracking it into a bowl, adding salt, stirring it, and adding a small spoonful of lard to steam it.
"Mom, did you already know what Dad was thinking about?"
Yang Ma started chopping vegetables and smiled softly: "We have been married for decades, so I know what he is thinking without even saying anything?"
Do couples have to know each other very well throughout their lives?
The light in Lin Zhiyu's eyes when he talked about those calligraphers flashed through her mind, and she realized that she had never known Lin Zhiyu in her previous life.
She doesn't even know her parents.
"Mom, do you have any secrets?"
