Chapter 24 Family Secrets
Si Yu kept thinking about this matter, and was in a trance until night.Lei Yao looked at her with a complicated expression, walked gently to her side, and said in a low voice, "Can we talk?"

Si Yu woke up like a dream, shaking involuntarily.

Lei Yao looked at her, and became more suspicious, but the doubts turned into doubts, he still restrained his emotions: "Do you remember what I told you? It's better to avoid suspicion for my daughter-in-law and father-in-law, especially my father. Of course, I'm not doubting you, there's nothing wrong with your behavior today, it's just... well, I won't go around in circles anymore, do you not believe my words? "

He talked about this, but Si Yu is not worried about this right now. When he heard him mentioning this matter, he felt a sense of reserve pressure, and accidentally slipped his mouth: "Don't talk about this today, it's actually your mother's. Problem!"

"What? My mother?" Lei Yao's expression changed drastically.

Si Yu knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and subconsciously covered his mouth.

Hearing that Si Yu mentioned his mother, Lei Yao became a little restless, and asked repeatedly: "How is it related to my mother? What's going on?"

Seeing him like this, Si Yu suddenly felt embarrassed, and felt that he should also know about this matter, so he gritted his teeth and poured beans out of the bamboo tube: "Okay, I won't hide it from you anymore, does mom hate dad?"

"What?" Lei Yao was furious, a man and a woman would defend their shortcomings, "Why are you asking this?"

"I was looking at the flowers in the garden this afternoon, and suddenly I saw my mother go to the back door sneakily. I met an old lady there and bought a pack of powder. The powder was so expensive, and my mother took out a lot of money. .Later I saw my mother put them into the soup pot, which is today's pot of black chicken soup!"

Terrified, Lei Yao glanced towards his mother's room suddenly, lowered his head in panic and thought for a while, the muscles on his face trembled violently.

"You mean my mom tried to poison my dad, don't you?" he asked in a deep voice, his voice hoarse and shaking violently at the same time.

"I didn't say that." Si Yu carefully considered her words, she knew that she would step on a thunder if she was not careful now, "I just think her behavior is a bit suspicious. People drink the soup, and they say there are worms in the soup, so when you take the soup back, it’s really suspicious.” At this point, she suddenly remembered that she hadn’t actually seen Li Buyan put the medicine with her own eyes, and the conclusion about her taking the medicine was actually It was just her speculation, but now that she has said it, it is not easy to change it.

Lei Yao recalled it carefully—to be honest, when his mother took back the soup, he also felt that her behavior was a bit weird, but he didn't think about it deeply. Now comparing his memory with what Si Yu said, he suddenly felt that his mother It's like poisoning.

"Then what should we do?" Lei Yao's face turned blue, and he said anxiously, "She didn't succeed this time, will she continue to poison her?"

"I don't know!" Si Yu said with a wry smile. Although she was also terrified, she was calmer than Lei Yao because the person involved is not her close relative. "If the medicine has been used up, she probably won't do it again in a short time." , but if there is a little left, she will start again. By the way, she may learn the lesson from this time and find something specially for the father-in-law."

"Ah!" Lei Yao slapped his forehead, "That's it!"

"What is it?" Si Yu asked him.

"Of course it's bird's nest! A while ago, my dad's friend gave him some Indonesian bird's nest and told him to stew it with medicinal herbs. He ate a bowl every day before going to bed. Maybe Chen's mother is already stewing it. Go and have a look!"

Lei Yao hurriedly dragged Si Yu to the kitchen, and hid with her by the door.Chen Ma was putting the soaked bird's nest into the pot. Lei Shuo was very particular about eating the freshly stewed bird's nest, so Chen Ma calculated the time every day and stewed it a few ten minutes before he went to bed.

Lei Yao and Si Yu hid in the shadows by the door, watching Mama Chen and the corridor at the same time.After a while, Chen Ma seemed to have remembered something, and trotted away.Her back just disappeared in the corridor, a small door in the kitchen (this small door is facing the garden, it is convenient for the chef to pick vegetables in the garden. Rich people like to grow vegetables and flowers, and Li Buyan does not. Exception. She admires the vegetables she grows very much, and often asks the chef to use them for cooking) Opened, Li Buyan slipped in quietly.She sneaked up to the soup pot, quickly opened the lid, took out a paper bag, and shook the powder into the soup.

"Oh! Mom! What are you doing?!" Lei Yao roared and rushed into the kitchen.

Li Buyan was horrified, and subconsciously hid the medicine bag behind his back.

"Show me what that is?" Lei Yao rushed over to snatch the paper bag, Li Buyan instinctively pushed him.

Lei Yao was stunned.

Li Buyan also stared at him blankly, the mother and son were in a stalemate.

Si Yu walked in timidly. She was stupefied by Lei Yao's roar just now, but now she came back to her senses.

Her appearance was like a catalyst, and Lei Yao woke up like a dream: "Mom! What are you doing? Do you really want to poison Dad to death?" Depressed a lot.

"What? Poison?" Li Buyan's body trembled, his eyes almost fell out, "What did you say?"

"Isn't this poison?" Lei Yao pointed to the paper bag in Li Buyan's hand, "I know you hate him, and I know you are in pain, but it's not worth it! Is he worth your crime? Even if you don't For your own sake, you should also think for me..."

"What!" Li Buyan suddenly screamed, startling everyone.Chen Ma just came back, and she was too scared to come in after being yelled at by her.

"This is not poison!" Li Buyan opened the paper bag for everyone to see, red clouds appeared on his pale face, "This is the love medicine I asked Master for! She said it would make your father change his mind."

Lei Yao and Si Yu stared blankly at Li Buyan, unable to believe her words.

"You don't believe me?" Li Buyan broke out immediately, threw the paper bag on the pot, poured out a bowl of bird's nest from the pot, and ate it in big mouthfuls, "I'll show you! Do you think it's poisonous! Then why don't I die?"

Lei Yao rushed over to grab the soup bowl, hugged his mother and comforted him softly.Li Buyan hit him a few times, then fell into his arms and cried bitterly, Lei Yao gently patted her on the back, like coaxing a child, but he showed a horrified expression.He always thought that his mother only hated his father deeply, but he didn't expect that she still loved him deeply.Sometimes hate is born of love, and the more she hates him, the more she actually loves him.

Si Yu looked at the two of them with a wry smile, then quietly walked to the side of the pot, picked up the medicine bag and looked at it.The medicine smelled of sandalwood and felt astringent, like the ashes of something.

what!Si Yu suddenly understood what it was, it was just ordinary incense ash!It seems that Li Buyan was deceived by some quack priests who pretended to be gods and ghosts.Although Li Buyan's education level is not high, he is very shrewd. He never thought that he would believe this kind of thing. Si Yu really couldn't accept it.Probably a woman will become stupid if she is blindfolded by love!
However, Si Yu suddenly remembered the diary full of red leaves, and glanced at Li Buyan.Doesn't she have another lover outside?It seemed that she loved him more deeply, and that lover also seemed to abandon her.Is it because the relationship outside is hopeless, so he wants to return to the family and use "medicine" to make Lei Shuo change his mind?

Si Yu was thinking wildly, and unexpectedly saw Li Buyan staring at her fiercely.Si Yu's heart sank, she was at a loss, and suddenly understood that Li Buyan knew that Lei Yao was not at home in the afternoon, so Si Yu must have found out that she was buying medicine to make soup, and then told Lei Yao.The reason why Si Yu's behavior was so abnormal was probably because he suspected that the medicine was poison, so he called Lei Yao to stop it at night.

If it was only Lei Yao who discovered her secret and messed up the situation, she probably wouldn't feel anything, after all blood is thicker than water.But when Si Yu participated, things were different.Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, and Li Buyan will definitely hate Si Yu to the bone.

Thinking of this, Si Yu was very depressed.She has always been careful not to have any grudges with Li Buyan, but today she has such a big grudge, it seems that her life will be even more difficult in the future.

Si Yu returned to the room, took off her clothes and fell asleep.Suddenly felt something strange at the head of the bed, looked up and found Lei Yao standing on the head of the bed, did he want to "go further" with her at this time?

"Do you have time?" Lei Yao looked gloomy, "Come chat with me!"

His appearance made people dare not disobey him, so Si Yu had no choice but to get up again and sit at the table with him.Lei Yao made a pot of tea and poured her a cup.It seems that he intends to have a long talk with her.

Si Yu suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have had a long conversation with Lei Yao, so he was a little nervous and even a little excited.What would he talk to her about?Live in privacy?Deep memories?Or is it his mother's problem?
Si Yu was a little disappointed, but he felt good, no matter what, he opened his heart to her.

After pouring the tea, Lei Yao crossed his hands against the bridge of his nose, staring at the tea leaves in silence.

Si Yu felt that the atmosphere was really uncomfortable, so she tried to break it: "Do you want to talk to me about my mother?" She called Lei Shuo "father-in-law" in front of Lei Yao, but called Li Buyan "father-in-law". Mom" instead of "mother-in-law".Because she knew that in Lei Yao's heart, one of them was a devil and the other was an angel.

"I blame myself." Lei Yao's tone was heavy, as if he had a serious illness, "I always thought that my mother was completely disappointed in my father and no longer had feelings for him, but I didn't expect that she has always loved him deeply , I have been ignoring her emotional appeals, not helping to mend their relationship, and I have been scolding my dad in front of her, making her difficult, now that I think about it, I am really ignorant."

Si Yu didn't say anything.At first it sounds like Lei Yao is quite ignorant, but she doesn't think she has the right to judge.Her parents had a happy marriage and a harmonious family, so she couldn't understand Lei Yao's feelings.If she and Lei Yao get along differently, she probably won't be much mature.

"No." Lei Yao suddenly rubbed his hair vigorously, with an inexplicable expression on his face, "Actually, I'm not just blaming myself, haha, to be honest, I don't care about my mother still loving my father. I feel conflicted in my heart. I can't figure it out, my dad is so bad, why does she still love him?"

Si Yu was speechless, she could feel that there was a deep misunderstanding between Lei Shuo and Lei Yao, maybe Lei Shuo would not care about Lei Yao, but Lei Yao hated Lei Shuo deeply.Si Yu felt that Lei Yao's hatred for Lei Shuo seemed complicated, and it wasn't just because he treated Li Buyan badly.

"Your father... what kind of person is your father-in-law?" Lei Yao asked suddenly.

"Him?" Si Yu was taken aback for a moment, and a fat smiling face immediately appeared in front of his eyes, and his tone suddenly became cheerful, "He's okay, he doesn't have any major shortcomings, and he doesn't have any major advantages..."

What she said obviously didn't answer the question.Sometimes people are like this, the more they face people they are familiar with, the more difficult it is to judge, and it is even difficult to describe.Lei Yao was already amused: "It seems that he must be a very good person, I can tell from your tone."

Si Yu blushed and smiled.She was very happy to hear Lei Yao praise her father.

"However." Lei Yao's expression was only relaxed for a moment, "The fathers of my friends, they are all very good people. Of course, my father was also very good before he got rich, but he changed when he got rich. So I wonder if people become bad when they have money.”

This is a topic that has been discussed by human beings for hundreds of years without conclusion.Instinct told her she shouldn't get involved in the argument, but she just wanted to cut in.Since he said that people will turn bad if they have money, isn't he implying that Si Yu's father didn't turn bad because he didn't have money, and he would still turn bad when he had money?
"It shouldn't be like this. In fact, some people don't become bad as soon as they have money. The real bad people will become bad even if they don't have money. I have a classmate whose father is useless. He still eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles. They all think that rich families will be unfortunate. Ordinary families will be happy. That’s because everyone is staring at the rich and rushing to spread the word whenever they have something. Those who have no money are ignored at all, even if they tell others about their misfortune, no one listens. Everyone takes it for granted thought they were happy."

According to Si Yu's life experience, he should not have such insight.The reason why she was able to conclude this reasoning was because the mother of a classmate of hers, whose husband cheated on her, forced her to divorce by beating and scolding, and refused to even pay child support.She complained everywhere, but no one answered her.Her encounters are very common in modern society, and she is not even good enough to talk about.And those celebrities and rich people, everything can be published in the newspapers.Even if it is a small rich man who is not as big as a stream, everyone pays far more attention to his family than ordinary people.Thus, Si Yu understood that sometimes the degree of attention to an event has nothing to do with the event itself, but only the identity of the person who did it.

"But it's easier for people to become bad when they have money." Lei Yao frowned slightly.

"Maybe." Si Yu curled her lips, "But I think that a person will eventually turn bad because of his bad nature. Money is just a catalyst, or it just provides him with a condition for an early attack. Money It cannot change a person's essence, a person's essence is good, no matter how much money he gets, it will not change."

Lei Yao's brows twitched slightly, and he lowered his head and smiled vaguely: "It sounds reasonable, will you change because of money?"

"Definitely not." Si Yu said without hesitation, because she didn't think it was a serious conversation, so she answered it very easily, but there was indescribable firmness in the ease.

"Okay." Lei Yao nodded slightly, his expression seemed relieved, but he didn't take it seriously.

Si Yu smiled stupidly, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to be saying that Lei Shuo's "becoming bad" was because of his bad nature, so he quickly changed his words to remedy it: "However, some people are also good in nature, but their will is weak, or because If you get rich suddenly, you will lose your nature temporarily. But you won’t be lost for too long, and you will return to your nature soon.”

"What?" Lei Yao was slightly surprised, and looked at her questioningly.

It was only then that Si Yu realized that Lei Yao would think that she had "lost her true nature", and immediately blushed.Just when she was thinking about how to explain clearly, Lei Yao already understood: "You are talking about my father, aren't you?"

Shy and embarrassed, Si Yu smiled timidly.

"Hmph." Lei Yao smiled even more obscurely, "I know you want the relationship between me and my father to develop in a good direction. I have lived with him for nearly 30 years, and I know him far better than you."

Si Yu felt that he had hit a soft wall, and couldn't help but want to defend Lei Shuo, because he felt that his son should not be so hostile to his father.However, before she could speak, Lei Yao changed the subject: "But I really didn't expect that my mother still loves my father. What should I do? Find a way to mend their relationship? Actually, I know that my mother still loves him When I was young, I hated him even more. Thinking of my mother’s longing for him to turn back every day, but he was having a good time outside, I hated him so much.”

Si Yu's blood rushed to the top of his head.She thought of the notebook full of maple leaves, and felt that it was necessary to show him this thing, it was time to let him know the truth, otherwise it would be unfair to Lei Shuo.Besides, as a son, he should also know all the secrets of his mother.
