Chapter 230 Gao Ye takes the initiative to question Chen 2 Lai
The two men talked more and more, and were about to fight again. Gao Ye ran out and pulled Chen Erlai back.
Chen Erlai cursed as he walked: "Don't be so proud, old man. I'll go out and find out where you live. If I find out where you live, I'll burn your house tonight..."
The old man was also afraid of being beaten. He thought that Chen Erlai was stopped by Gao Ye, so he quickly took advantage of the situation, put the basket on his back and ran away cursing.
Gao Ye took the child and coaxed him. When the child fell asleep, she spoke: "Er Laizi, why are you wasting your time talking to him? That old man is just an old bachelor who takes advantage of others."
"I'm so angry." Although Chen Erlai was angry, he didn't dare to speak loudly because the child was asleep. "Who is he humiliating? He's almost dead, and he still has the nerve to flatter you and say he wants to marry you. Bah..."
The blind grandmother wiped away her tears and choked up, saying, "If you want to blame someone, blame us, mother and daughter, for our miserable lives..."
"Auntie, please don't say that. Gao Ye is lucky to be back safely." Chen Erlai consoled her, "Ye Zi is neither greedy nor lazy. Sooner or later, she will be able to live a good life."
The blind grandmother patted her chest, took a deep breath and said, "That's a matter for the future. What can we do now? Several groups of people have come in the past few days, asking to marry Ye Zi. I get angry just hearing that.
Yes, my daughter has a hard life, but she is a decent person! She is not the kind of frivolous person. Why do they treat my daughter so badly? "
I don’t know where those people heard that Gao Ye had been abducted, but they came here just by hearing the news.
The people who came were all those idlers from the nearby villages, even the old bachelor who had one foot in the coffin. There was not a single decent person.
Unable to find Gao Ye, they insulted the blind grandmother, threatening and intimidating her. Today, the old man even tried to snatch the child, hoping to use it to force Gao Ye to agree.
Chen Erlai frowned and said, "Auntie, starting from tomorrow, don't keep anyone at home. I'll carry you on my back when I go to work. That way, those people won't be able to stop you and Ye Zi. After a while, they won't come over."
Gao Ye sighed, his expression sad: "When will this kind of life end?"
Chen Erlai opened and closed his mouth, then opened and closed it again, hesitating for a long time but still no sound came out. He was too poor, and being able to support himself was good enough, he didn't dare to think about anything else...
Seeing his expression, Gao Ye thought that Chen Erlai was disgusted with him, so he sighed and turned away.
The blind mother-in-law couldn't see the expressions of the two people. She thought for a long time and said, "Ye Zi, why don't you find someone to marry? If you have a man at home, those bachelors won't dare to come and make trouble."
Gao Ye lowered her head and cried, "Mom, with me like this, which good man would want me?"
Chen Erlai looked a little flustered. He raised his hand to wipe Gao Ye's tears, but suddenly remembered that this was no longer a childhood.
"Ye Zi, don't cry yet! You're a good gay, and you're worthy of any gay man."
Chen Erlai clenched his fists and gave a stiff smile, saying in a deep voice, "Even if I were to marry, I wouldn't choose someone like this. I'll talk to Director Jiang tomorrow and ask her to keep an eye out for you. There must be a good man..."
"Do you dislike me?" Gao Ye bit her lip and mustered up all her courage to ask, "Chen Erlai, do you dislike me? Do you think I'm unclean and unworthy of you?"
After going through all that, Gao Ye decided not to get married on the way home. But after spending some time with him, she did fall in love with Er Laizi.
Er Laizi had a bad reputation, but he had a pure heart and never looked down on her. He often helped her.
Being with him, Gao Ye felt that her heart came alive again.
The blind old woman held her breath and pricked up her ears, waiting for Chen Erlai's answer.
She was blind, but she had good hearing and a clear mind. She knew her daughter's thoughts, but... she was too embarrassed to bring them together.
"No." Chen Erlai hurriedly explained: "Ye Zi, how could I dislike you! I... I..."
Chen Erlai hesitated for a long time and said what was hidden in his heart: "I am not much better than that old man just now.
I was poor and lazy, and I even stole chickens from the village, so I had a bad reputation... My family only had a few shabby adobe houses, and in the winter, they were drafty. I, I couldn't even think about it..."
Chen Erlai's eyes fell on the sleeping child and he whispered, "I will be a burden to you and the child."
Gao Ye buried her head and cried bitterly. She didn't dare to make too much noise, but her sobbing was so sad that Chen Erlai felt panicked.
"I, I've been sold several times and given birth to several children..." Gao Ye cried, "Those people didn't treat me as a human being. In their eyes, I was just a sow that could give birth."
"Wuwu... I'm not worthy of you... It's only natural that you despise me. I even despise myself..."
Chen Erlai was at a loss, and stammered, "Do you dislike me? If you don't, let's go get the marriage certificate. You, you, don't worry, I, I won't bully you."
Gao Ye burst into laughter and replied, "If you don't despise me, I won't despise you."
Seeing her smile, Chen Erlai said foolishly: "It's good that you don't despise me. Don't worry, Ye Zi, from now on I will definitely work hard and never be lazy again!"
Chen Erlai rubbed his face and said to the blind grandmother, "Auntie, I don't have any elders. I'll go find Director Jiang and ask her to help take care of things. Is that okay with you?"
"Okay!" The blind grandmother said with a smile, "Our family is poor, so let's not have a big wedding. Just get the marriage certificate and let the villagers know that you are a couple."
Chen Erlai thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I don't have any money right now. Don't worry, I'll work hard from now on. When the work points are calculated in winter, I'll have to pay some money as a betrothal gift. I can't let others laugh at Ye Zi."
A good home for her daughter is more important than anything else. The blind mother-in-law doesn't want anything: "You idiot, I won't ask you for a dowry. Just treat Ye Zi and the child well."
"That's for sure." Chen Erlai said sincerely, "Auntie, if you and Ye Zi don't despise me, then what will I become if I don't treat them well?
I will not only take care of Ye Zi and the children, I will also take care of you! From now on, you will be my real mother, and I will take care of you until the end of your life."
When Gao Ye was not back, Chen Erlai was also very kind to the blind mother-in-law. He helped to clean the house and the yard, carried firewood to heat the kang, washed clothes and cooked.
The blind mother-in-law believed what he said.
"Auntie believes you! Go find Lichun and tell her about you and Ye Zi."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Gao Ye felt shy at this moment, but at the same time, she felt extremely fortunate. She had also said those words with the mentality of taking a gamble.
Fortunately, Chen Erlai didn't despise her, otherwise she really didn't know how it would end.
"Ye Zi, Er Laizi isn't a bad person by nature. He just lacks a father and a mother, so he can be a bit confused sometimes. Since you've chosen him, live a good life with him. Be considerate of him. He's also a man with a miserable life."
Gao Ye responded, "Mom, don't worry! I've been with Er Laizi for such a long time, I know he's a good person.
Just because he never looks down on me, treats me like a human being, and treats you and the children with all his heart, I will live my life with him wholeheartedly."
