Chapter 1 Returning against the current
I woke up in a daze and before I could open my eyes, a stinging pain came from my head.
Alas, when people reach middle age, their health is really not good.
Half a pound of white wine and two bottles of beer, I just drank it like this. I remember that when I graduated from college, I didn’t want to fall asleep after drinking this little wine, and it would be a problem to sing for another night.
It's all for evil money!
But what's the use of making more money? No matter how much you make, you don't have a wife or a child, even a mother...
"What's the use of this damn thing for him to study? Why don't you beat him to death!"
Suddenly, a furious voice came, which scared Yu Yue in a daze.
Such a cruel voice and such a domineering words, this is my dad!
When did my dad come to Shanghai?
Opening his eyes in a daze, Yu Yue saw his father, and then was stunned. When did he dye his head? After a while, it seemed... he was still young and his wrinkles were obviously fading!
Yu Yue was extremely impressed by his father's forehead and his mother's hands. I don't know what year it was. When he accidentally noticed these two places, he suddenly realized that they were getting old and if they were wandering around, they might not have time to fulfill their filial piety.
It was from then on that time that he began to know the meaning of struggle and began to work hard on the sales day from 5 to 9. However, as soon as he saw the improvement, his mother was swallowed up by the ruthless disease. God seemed to punish him and did not give him a chance to turn back. He took her away when he was twenty-eight years old, just when his mother was forty-eight years old.
Overnight, he finally realized that the greatest pain in life was not the missed girl who looked back and smiled charmingly, nor was she not making a fortune without standing at the forefront of the times, but her son wanted to support her but her parents were not waiting for her.
Therefore, even after striving to have a small company that earns millions a year, although I can finally return home in glory, my heart has never been able to rest.
Because, now, he can give his mother the greatest filial piety, which is nothing more than returning to his hometown, inserting two flowers on the grave, and then burning a cart of paper money.
It is meaningless except to comfort yourself a little in your heart.
"Don't make a noise! My son has been beaten like this. What's the use of arguing!"
The voice of a middle-aged woman sounded like a bolt from the blue, which directly shocked Yu Yue.
He raised his head blankly, and in tension and horror, he saw his mother!
"mom!"
Subconsciously, Yu Yue shouted, full of longing and suspicion.
Seeing that his son suddenly woke up, Yu's mother was overjoyed, grabbed his son's hand and said anxiously: "Son, how are you doing? Does it still hurt?"
Although Yu's father cursed, he couldn't help but show concern when he saw his son wake up.
Yu Yue looked at his mother blankly, and tears were already filled with tears.
He didn't even have time to think about how this scene happened, whether it was a dream or an illusion, but he didn't care about this. He just wanted to hold his mother's hand tightly and feel her true feelings.
Seeing his son suddenly burst into tears, Yu's mother thought he was wronged and hurriedly comforted him: "Good son, don't cry, will it still hurt?"
Only then did Yu Yue realize that the pain on his head was different. It was not the swelling and pain after drinking, but the pain!
Before he could answer, Yu's voice rang again: "Why are you crying? You still have the shame to cry? Hold it back!"
His father's scolding not only did not make Yu Yue afraid, but became novel.
How many years have you been? I haven’t heard these three words in a long time!
I remember that since I was sensible, my dad would scold me every time I was beaten to cry - hold it back!
However, I haven't heard of it since I grew up, and now I feel very warm.
"Brother, stop scolding, Yue is not very hurt."
Another woman's voice came, Yu Yue looked up and saw that behind her parents was the younger sister-in-law.
Like my parents, they are much younger.
Wait a minute, my sister-in-law's outfit...isn't this the windbreaker?
Yu Yue would not feel any strange about his parents' clothes, because they had almost never changed, and they would not throw away old clothes and would wear them repeatedly.
But my sister-in-law is different. She is only six years older than her. Although she is called aunt, the two are actually not related by blood. My sister-in-law's grandfather and her great-grandfather are half-brothers. This situation is quite common in rural areas. At that time, when people get sick in the countryside are very likely to die, so it is normal to lose widows in middle age.
The great-grandfather's mother died, and the aunt's father died. So the great-grandfather's father and aunt and grandma got together and formed a new family. Then the aunt's grandfather came to the Yu family with her mother and followed the Yu family. I don't know if it was a genetic problem. The aunt's family all had a short life. Her father died when she was three years old. The mother remarried. In order to facilitate marriage, the child stayed in the old Yu family. Therefore, the aunt was taken care of by her grandparents and treated her grandparents as parents, just like a family with blood thicker than water.
My aunt did not stay in her hometown. After dropping out of school, she came to the city to work. Because she was beautiful, she was chased by her uncle who lives in Pingyuan City. Then she got married and entered the city, so she dressed very fashionablely.
Yu Yue is very familiar with the windbreaker on his sister-in-law, because he often went to his sister-in-law's house to improve a meal in high school, so he was very impressed.
What's going on?
"Brother, sister-in-law, let's go out and talk. Let Yue lie down for a while. The doctor said he had a slight concussion and he had to rest."
Doctor? Mild concussion?
Watching the three of them leave blankly, Yu Yue was in a bad mood.
Then, he found himself in the hospital!
Subconsciously touched his head, and a pain came, and then he found a bandage wrapped around his head!
Hospital! This is the hospital, am I hospitalized?
Concussion!
Dad's swearing...
Why are you so familiar with it?
I remember that in high school, I had a fight with a guy because of playing ball. The guy was fucked by himself and the guy was beaten to the hospital by a group! At that time, I had a slight concussion, and the scene at that time was very similar to now!
Yu Yue was a little confused and his mind was messed up.
At this time, he heard a gentle communication sound from outside the door.
This time there was another new voice, which made Yu Yue feel familiar, but he couldn't remember it. Finally, he heard it clearly through the conversation. He was his class teacher in high school, Lao Li!
I heard my originally irritable father's voice was a little low and he almost begged: "Teacher Li, the child is young and ignorant. You see, forgive him once."
"Yes!" said the younger sister-in-law: "He was beaten very hard, and we won't pursue anything."
"Survey?" At this time, Old Li was very angry: "What are you pursuing? Everyone in the playground saw it. It was him who acted first! And I tell you that he hit the son of Director Song, the academic affairs director! It was not that I would not pursue him if I didn't pursue him. Director Song was very angry. The child's teeth were almost knocked off. If this was broken, it would not be comparable to his slight concussion."
When the three of them panicked when they heard Lao Li say that the other party was the son of the director of the teaching staff. If it were an ordinary child, they would be fine, but they were children!
"Then..." Yu Dad was panicked and didn't know what to say.
"Teacher Li, please don't fire my son!" Yu's mother begged nervously with a crying voice.
"Hmph, don't you fire? Is he studying in school? He is mingling with a group of gangsters all day long, and you have to fallen sweat and throw eight petals into the ground. Is it worth it to just do this kind of bad study? Why not strangle it to death!"
Old Li was very vicious. The three of them were very angry when they heard this. But at this moment, they had to endure it in order for the child to continue studying, so that they could not speak out, and they had to lower their heads.
Something is wrong!
This is not a dream!
Everything is so real!
Yu Yue, who was angry by Lao Li's words, subconsciously clenched his fists. Although he could not see his parents, he knew how humble they were outside the door.
Old Li scolded his parents like a student, and humiliated his parents like a child.
Yu Yue knew that his father had a bad temper, but the reason why he didn't dare to have a fever now was not because he had a good temper, but because of himself!
"Teacher Li, we know we are wrong. When we go back, we must educate the child well. Look, please, for the sake of the child's ignorance..." The younger sister-in-law's voice paused for a moment, and then said, "Help help!"
Yu Yue didn't see it, and the younger sister outside the door stuffed something into Teacher Li's pocket.
"Okay, I'll show you a way, but I don't care whether it's done or not!" Old Li's speech changed, but he still had a lofty attitude and did not feel ruthless at all.
"Thank you, thank you Teacher Li, you said." The younger sister-in-law said excitedly.
"Discover money and avoid disaster!"
...
After a long time, Yu Yue heard that Lao Li was sent away respectfully by the three of them, and then there was silence outside.
At this moment, Yu Yue had already figured out a fact that this was not a dream, and there was no need to doubt that it was not like this in the dream. There was only one possibility for all this - he was reborn!
Drinking wine until you are confused, then wake up and be reborn!
Destiny also chose a point of waking up, but not waking up from sleep, but fainting and being admitted to the hospital.
For Yu Yue, who has become a money-making machine, cannot be filial to his mother and does not follow the family line, rebirth should be a happy thing, but after the shock, he was extremely heavy because there was a suppressed silence outside. Obviously, his parents didn't know that all this was done again and were still putting themselves in their shoes.
In his previous life, he was in a coma and had no idea what was happening outside. He had no idea that his parents had suffered such humiliation. He only knew the final result, as Lao Li said, losing money will avoid disaster.
However, he didn't know at that time that this was Lao Li's "kindness" reminder.
Similarly, in his previous life, he did not hear his father's sigh, with heavy pressure, as if even his voice had grown a little older.
"I'll go smoke a cigarette," said the father.
