Chapter 75 The reason
Zhu Yun has feelings of compassion.

But maybe he was used to seeing too many such nasty things done for self-interest, so he seemed particularly calm at this moment.

He said: "The closer the relationship between relatives, the closer the interest relationship, the easier it is for trouble to arise. Those in power want to seize power, the rich want to get rich, and the poor want to be less burdened."

"It sounds like you are very touched. Could it be that you have also experienced it?"

Zhu Yun took a sip of hot water and said rather disappointedly: "It's sort of."

Xu Baozhu smiled wryly, "It seems that we are in the same boat."

She said: "At the beginning you took a fancy to the simplicity and purity of this countryside, but now, are you still willing to stay?"

The two haven't mentioned this topic for a long time.

After the last conversation, Xu Baozhu acquiesced that he stayed, and as long as he was willing, she and old man Xu would not drive him away, but this premise was based on his own wishes. I'm also not sure what Zhu Yun thinks.

Zhu Yun just felt that this question was inexplicable.

"Why not?" He said, "This is a common problem, and it's not limited to Uncle Xu and the others. Even in a different place, as long as there are interests involved, it will still be like this. Why don't you choose a place that you like and feel comfortable with?" place."

For some reason, hearing what he said, Xu Baozhu felt secretly happy. Maybe it's because we've been together for a long time, this place is unfamiliar, and there is someone I like and can talk to. , It is always good to be accompanied by someone who can communicate on an equal footing.

She raised her hand, patted Zhu Yun's shoulder, and promised with a bit of ridicule: "Don't worry, you live here, and I will never let others bully you."

Zhu Yun raised his eyebrows, opened his lips lightly, and followed her words: "Then Yun is here, and I will thank the lady first." '
Xu Baozhu waved her hand generously, "You're welcome, you should."

Zhu Yun looked at people with a smile on his face and didn't speak. In the bleak winter night, because of these lively voices, he seemed to be a little warmer.

……

Old Madam Xu's fever subsided for half a day, and then she started to get up again at night. Xu Baozhu was busy back and forth, until the sky gradually turned pale, and finally had time to rest for a while, and fell asleep leaning against the edge of the bed.

When he woke up, for some reason, he ran to the bed and fell asleep in the arms of Mrs. Xu. She was awake, hugging Xu Baozhu, her eyes were full of love.

"Grandma."

The warm embrace made her feel at ease, she was reluctant to let go, and did not move.

"You finally woke up." She drilled in again, hugging him even tighter, "This night, Dad and I were scared to death."

"good."

Mrs. Xu stroked her black hair, her eyes watered, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Baozhu shook her head, "It's not hard, it's not hard, as long as you're fine."

She grew up with her grandmother since she was a child, and her parents are rare. She is easy to empathize with this kind old lady, because the relationship between the previous few families was not very good, and she didn't have much contact with her. Let her treat people as her true relatives.

"Let me find out for you."

As she spoke, she took out Mrs. Xu's hand, and didn't ask her opinion to help people feel the pulse.

"The pulse condition is a bit flimsy, but it's still very powerful, so it's not a big problem."

"You girl, you have learned a lot from your father." Mrs. Xu recalled the night Wang gave birth.

It was a night of horror.

What she did was shocking and unheard of.

Xu Baozhu didn't learn from the old man Xu most of the time, but he didn't refute. He leaned on the person's chest and whispered softly: "Are you hungry, let me get you something to eat?"

The old lady Xu shook her head, "I'm not hungry. Brother Yun just brought over a bowl of porridge. I ate some. If you're hungry, I'll ask someone to bring you some more."

Xu Baozhu was embarrassed, how long had she slept, and it was already past meal time.

"No, I'll go by myself."

She groped to get off the bed, and tucked the quilt up for Mrs. Xu, saying: "Lie down and rest well, and I will come back to accompany you after I go to eat something."

"it is good."

Xu Baozhu packed up and went out of the room, and found that all the work that belonged to her on weekdays had been done, the yard was clean, the house was also warm, there was hot water on the stove, and there was still uneaten The finished meal seemed to be specially reserved for her, a bowl full of all kinds of dishes.

It's just that there are no other people, only Ah Qing is watching the stove.

"Where did it all go?" Xu Baozhu patted her on the shoulder, gesturing to her what he meant.

Ah Qing babbled and opened her mouth, but she couldn't make it clear. After guessing for a long time, she finally realized that someone from Xu's house came again. She was asleep, and Old Man Xu and Zhu Yun couldn't bear to wake her up. , So he took Maizi to talk with him.

It seems that these two families are really anxious to get rid of the burden of Mrs. Xu, and they don't plan to go there for years.

The old man Xu was too simple and honest to speak, but Zhu Yun had studied, and when he talked about the truth and the laws of the apocalypse, he was very logical, and Xu Baozhu was not worried that they would suffer too much.

After dinner, Xu Baozhu watched the time and boiled medicine for Mrs. Xu, so she didn't go out, and kept chatting with her in the room.

"Grandma, after the illness is cured, you can come and live with us, and let my father and I also do our filial piety."

The old lady Xu's eyes showed unspeakable sadness.

"You and your father are good boys, but how can I drag you down?"

"What's the burden? We're all a family. I should take care of you. Besides, I know medicine. My father has been practicing medicine for more than [-] years. He is well-known in these towns. We all have our own skills, and we will never go there anyway, not to mention this."

The old lady Xu's face was a little moved, and she let out a long sigh: "Unexpectedly, in the end, it's just you and your father..."

"You've been refusing to answer for so long, but what's the secret?"

The old lady Xu said: "Originally, I planned to bury these old things in the soil, but now... oh."

She sighed a few times, and began to tell Xu Baozhu about the events of decades ago. When she talked about the emotion, she burst into tears.

"So, it's because my father is not your and grandpa's biological son, and you have concerns in your heart, so you are still unwilling to come here?"

"At the beginning, your grandfather and I promised Shugen's father to take good care of him when he grows up, but we have no ability. We have been in that field all our lives, so let's just let him live a good life. Later, you two An uncle married a wife and had children, and I pawned some of the things his father left him in exchange for money. As a result, later on, when your father married your mother, you had nothing, and your life was miserable. The hut was built with borrowed money, how can I have the face to live here again if you say this!"

The old lady was ashamed.

"I'm sorry for your grandfather, I'm sorry for your father, and I'm even more sorry for your father's father."
