Ye Yuhua was the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin when she was young. The people kneeling under her skirt were like carps crossing the river, countless of them. Regardless of beauty, talent, or family background, she seemed to be the favored child of God, reaching the point of being lonely at the top. She made countless heroes bow down to her and countless women were jealous of her. Even so, Ye Yuhua didn't want Lin Huayin to be like her. She smiled and said, "She's better than me."
These four words expressed everything she had thought, heard, and seen.
Like me?
She didn't. She couldn't be like her.
She could cook, do housework, and consider other people's feelings. Maybe not all the time, but she was much better than she was in the past.
Back then, apart from work and her ambitions, nothing else could stay in Ye Yuhua's mind for too long, even if it was her family, her husband, and her daughter. But Lin Huayin didn't. She cared about her half-sister and slowly changed her attitude towards Xiao Zheng. Even if she was sometimes cold and heartless, she learned to think more often. She learned to put down work for the sake of living. Everything she had done was what Ye Yuhua wanted to see and was willing to see.
Like her?
Then, one day, his daughter would also walk down the same path as him. She would spend the rest of her life alone, accompanied by the lamp and ancient Buddha.
Lu Dashan, who had started the conversation, did not dwell on it. His deep eyes were filled with excitement, and he asked tentatively, "Are you going back after this trip?"
"Yes," Ye Yuhua answered.
"What are we going back for?" Lu Dashan was puzzled. "Twenty years isn't enough?"
"I want to be with him for the rest of my life," Ye Yuhua said gently. "I need to think about it for the rest of my life."
"Nonsense," Lu Dashan said unhappily. "Your daughter is already so big. That old guy is also successful. Why do you want to go back? You didn't let him down back then, he let you down. "
"I'm practicing Zen, not a human," Ye Yuhua said slowly. "I only have one thought. I've let go of the rest."
A trace of sadness flashed across Lu Dashan's face when he heard this, and he sighed with emotion. "Do you know how many people are waiting for you to come out with red eyes? Yet, you let them go just like that. Aren't you afraid of disappointing them? "
"It won't be cold if it's quiet." Ye Yuhua slowly raised her head and glanced at Lu Dashan. "Haven't you been quiet all these years?"
Lu Dashan forced a smile and said, "Don't blame me. This time, I was just pushed out by those people. "
"If they are interested, they can come and listen to my chanting," Ye Yuhua said with a smile.
"Even I can't stand it, let alone them." Lu Dashan shook his head and said with a smile. "I still prefer to be outside. It's nice to be alone occasionally. It was silent for a long time. I'll be irritable. "
"Then stay outside," Ye Yuhua said with a smile. "I won't persuade you either."
Lu Dashan became anxious when he heard this. He turned around and said to Xiao Zheng, who was eating quietly and indifferently, "Look at your mother-in-law. I haven't even said a few words and she's already angry."
"How is my mother-in-law angry?" Xiao Zheng raised his head and smiled.
"Are you deaf? She's despised me to this extent, and that's not angry? "Lu Dashan glared at Xiao Zheng. "You're really a good son-in-law. Mother-in-law is always right. I helped you last night, can't you straighten your butt a little? "
"And then?" Ye Yuhua smiled and glanced at Lu Dashan. It was meaningful.
"Then someone helped me, so I didn't get involved," Lu Dashan said with some guilt.
In fact, if he had appeared at the first moment, Xiao Zheng wouldn't have been killed inside. A cannon fodder like Zhao Lei wouldn't have had the chance to help. But he didn't. At the end of the day, he had his own considerations and didn't care so much.
As Xiao Zheng listened, he felt that his mother-in-law was really resourceful. Nothing could be hidden from her. She could even make Lu Dashan show such an attitude, which showed how terrifying his mother-in-law was in the past. His respect for her rose spontaneously, like the Yellow River overflowing out of control.
She was an expert. She had been a nun for twenty years and cultivated her body and mind for twenty years. She came out to celebrate her daughter's birthday, and she could also blow up a legendary figure like Lu Dashan. But she was so calm and let go of everything. Xiao Zheng really didn't know when he would be able to have his mother-in-law's bearing and wisdom.
"I'm tired," Ye Yuhua said with a smile. "Go rest."
Then, she slowly got up and returned to the room that Lin Huayin prepared for her. It was the room that Ma Choi Jun and Xiao Zheng used to live in.
Damn that Ma Choi Jun, why was he still missing? Was he afraid of my revenge? Xiao Zheng thought angrily.
As soon as the mother and daughter left, Lu Dashan completely relaxed. He lit a cigarette and said to Xiao Zheng with a smile, "Xiao Zheng, you won't blame Uncle Lu for not helping in time last night, will you?"
"Didn't you help?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"Don't play dumb," Lu Dashan glared at him. "I'm talking about what happened after."
"Oh, you're talking about that." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and said with a smile. "You're not related to me, so you really have no obligation to clean up my mess. Besides, I'm fine now, aren't I? "
"But your mother-in-law is angry," Lu Dashan puffed out a smoke ring and said cautiously. "She's obviously not very satisfied with my performance."
"I didn't see that," Xiao Zheng said helplessly. "Could it be that you're thinking too much? My mother-in-law is a nun, and abstaining from anger is a necessary daily practice. "
"Didn't you hear from your mother-in-law?" Lu Dashan said faintly. "She let go of everything, but still has one thought. How can you not know who this thought is? "
Xiao Zheng no longer put on an act and teased, "A person like you can still take care of my mother-in-law's mood?"
"Don't make it sound so bad. I've been friends with your mother-in-law for more than 20 years. When her son-in-law was bullied, how can I not make her angry if I don't show up? "Lu Dashan glared at Xiao Zheng. He said helplessly. "You don't know, kid. Even if you search the entire world, you won't be able to find a second mother-in-law like her. She's amazing. "
Xiao Zheng saw that Lu Dashan had run out of cigarettes, so he handed him one and said, "Then tell me. How glorious was my mother-in-law in the past? "
"How glorious?" Lu Dashan's eyes immediately lit up as he spoke eloquently. "Xiao Zheng, your Uncle Lu is a famous person in Pearl City. But when he went to Beijing and met your mother-in-law, he was conquered by her aura. That was a critical hit. You can go to Yan Jing and ask around. How many people my age didn't get jealous when they were waiting for their mother-in-law to divorce? But your mother-in-law, on the other hand, left home the moment she got divorced. She really pissed off those guys who became single because of her. "
"My father-in-law is quite capable." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "Thousands of soldiers and horses slaughtering a path of blood. I'm sure it must be extremely thrilling."
"Hmph. What's the point? He's still charmed by a little vixen. "Lu Dashan was unconvinced. "At the end of the day, your father-in-law is just a poor boy from the mountains. He still can't bear the glory of your mother-in-law. Otherwise, why would he find a little woman to comfort him?"
"Hey, Uncle Lu —" Xiao Zheng said with a strange expression. "Although you helped me before. But don't you think it's too much to criticize my father-in-law in front of me? "
"Hehe. Aren't you afraid that your father-in-law won't like you and won't even let you enter the Lin Family's gate? "Lu Dashan said sinisterly. "Let me be honest with you. Lin Chaotian is famous in Beijing for having a sharp eye and a cunning heart. If he doesn't let go, he can tear you and Lin Huayin apart even if you really have a child, let alone you and Lin Huayin are just acting. "
"Young man," Lu Dashan said earnestly, but there was a hidden meaning in his words. "It's not easy to find someone like me who is determined to be a kind father-in-law in Beijing."
Xiao Zheng was shocked and quickly explained, "Uncle, your daughter and I are innocent …"
