Yu Shu asked Uncle Zhang to co back and continue taking care of Yu Yang. When Yu Yang heard that Ye Ping was hospitalized, he was shocked and couldn't speak for a long ti, and all the thousands of thoughts were finally sumd up in one sentence: "That's good."
The one who reacted most to this matter was Yu Feng. The day Shen Youlin sent Ye Ping to the hospital, he was there all along, and under Shen Youlin's threats and intimidation, he acted as an accomplice. As a family mber of the patient, he gradually fell silent during the doctor's diagnosis and inquiry about the condition.
As for Ye Ping, she gradually cald down from her initial rage and powerlessness, sitting in the corner chair silently crying.
He had never understood why Xin Niang, his gentle and delicate wife, had beco a hysterical shrew. Recalling what had happened over the years, cold sweat kept coming out.
It was because he hadn't done well enough and failed to protect Ye Ping. When she needed him, he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and made her bear too much alone.
Yu Feng rented a house near the Sixth Hospital and lived there every day to visit Ye Ping. When visitors were not allowed, he would sneak a peek. During his free ti, he went to a driving school to learn to drive.
"I must get my driver's license before you get well. Then I'll take you on a self-drive tour," Yu Feng happily announced, "This ti, I'll keep my word."
"Great," Ye Ping smiled gently.
Haggard and pale, yet extraordinarily beautiful.
Yu Shu didn't go to see Ye Ping. She didn't know how to face her. But she went to see Yu Yang every day.
The siblings discussed Yu Yang's gaokao (college entrance examination) this year. Yu Yang didn't want to give up and still wanted to give it a shot.
Yu Shu suggested finding him tutors in Chengdu or sending him to the best high school in Chengdu as a visiting student, and then returning for the gaokao.
Yu Yang refused: "I can't adapt to the pace of the schools here, and with a change of teachers, I'd have to get used to it again from scratch. There's not much ti left and I can't afford to delay. I still want to go back to school."
Yu Shu agreed and asked Uncle Zhang to go back with him to take care of his diet and living, and drive the SUV back to pick him up from school. Life and transportation would be much more convenient.
After discussing business, the ward fell silent. Just as Yu Shu was about to leave, Yu Yang said in a trembling voice, "Sister, I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry to for?"
Yu Yang lowered his head, "I'm too useless, I can't help you at all, and will only hold you back..."
Yu Shu ruffled his hair: "You are quite useless."
Hearing her say this, Yu Yang beca even more dispirited.
"Focus on your studies. What's the hurry now? The responsibilities that are ant for you, you can't escape no matter what in the future."
Yu Yang recovered quickly and was soon discharged from the hospital back to the county town. The siblings tacitly did not ntion visiting Ye Ping.
Ye Ping's illness was real, but so was the harm they had suffered from her since childhood.
Yu Shu beca busy, busy with studying, working out, and beauty care. She also found teachers to learn jazz dance and pipa. When studying, she had envied classmates with talents. She now had the ti and money to learn what she had missed.
Her schedule was full and interesting every day. The physical fatigue and accumulation of knowledge brought back a long-lost sense of fulfillnt.
"Self-confidence, personality, cultivation, cognition, they are all part of temperant. A person with temperant, even squatting by the roadside, can be commanding," said Yu Shu, serious and solemn, before tearing off a large piece of at from the roast duck leg and chewing it.
Shen Youlin spat out a duck bone, "Is that why you brought here to gnaw on roast duck?"
The two of them were on the snack street of the steel plant. The steel plant had long been relocated to the suburbs, but the residential area was preserved and gradually turned into a flavored old street.
Overhead were the lush chinaberry trees. The two of them squatted at the roadside devouring freshly baked roast duck, without the slightest regard for image.
Yu Shu swallowed the roast duck in her mouth, "Isn't it delicious? Fatty but not greasy, aromatic but not burnt. It's much better than the roast duck you brought the other day."
"That was made by a master chef. You don't know quality."
"It just wasn't delicious."
"Next ti, I'll take you to watch over the century-old roasting oven and eat roast duck straight out of the oven!"
Shen Youlin grumbled indignantly. Last week when he returned to Beijing, he kindly brought back two roast ducks, but they had cooled down and been sealed in the container for too long, ruining the taste.
"Good, I'll look forward to it," Yu Shu smiled smugly like a sly cat having its way.
After finishing one roast duck, they felt a little greasy. So they sat at a small table under the chinaberry tree to eat sweet bean jelly to get rid of the grease.
"I want to buy a shop here."
"Why? This location isn't even valuable."
"I had a dream that this street would be demolished in the sumr."
"..."
Yu Shu blinked her distinctive big eyes, "Don't disbelieve it. I feel this is the Money God wanting to send a dream."
She then showed him her phone lock screen, the bright red colors and complex patterns were undoubtedly the Money God holding big ingots.
"You're joking with , right? Did you co here before?"
Yu Shu looked completely innocent, "By the cobbler's stall is a tree where a young couple carved their nas: Jiang Xue, Yu Fei, love for a lifeti."
It sounded more and more mysterious. Shen Youlin stubbornly refused to believe it. He quickly finished the sweet bean jelly, threw down a 100 yuan bill, and pulled her along.
"I'm not done eating yet..."
It was exactly as Yu Shu said, the cobbler's stall, little yellow dog, flower curtain dog bed, and a tree.
Shen Youlin circled the tree twice, "Hey, there are no words carved on the tree."
Yu Shu looked calmly and pointed above his head, "It's here."
Indeed there was a line of words where she pointed. The words looked quite old, almost blended in with the tree trunk. You couldn't see it if you didn't look closely.
"I dread this place would be demolished and turned into a comrcial plaza."
Shen Youlin stood with arms crossed, leaning against the trunk, "So why are you telling ?"
"A little woman has limited strength. Of course I have to pull the young master to make money with , make big bucks~"
