After wandering around like this, it was getting a little dark outside.

In the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, the alleys were winding like a maze. Ru Yue walked along the alleys mentioned by Sister Luo for a while, and slowly found the path in her memory.

When it got completely dark, Ru Yue stopped outside a very old building.

In the late 1950s, the Forestry Bureau arranged a public house for her uncle, with the highest three floors, and her family lived on the second floor.

It's a very old building. There have been ivy outside over the years, so the walls have been dyed half black and half yellow, making it look very desolate.

Even though a lifetime has passed, Ru Yue still feels a strong sense of discomfort when she sees this building.

She subconsciously pressed her chest and walked towards the dark doorway.

But he almost hit someone.

A figure silently stepped down from the last two stairs, so hurriedly that Ru Yue got out of the way and exclaimed: "Ouch, who!"

The man seemed to be startled, paused in his steps, took out his hand from his pants, covered half of his face and looked at Ru Yue.

Ru Yue felt that she had lost her composure just now, so she also covered her mouth to identify the person in front of her.

I could only see the man's big brown hands rubbing back and forth on his face, but he never put his hands down.

Then, his narrow eyes flashed in the slightly dark doorway, and he left without saying a word.

Ru Yue stared at the man's slightly bowed back, confused.

This middle-aged man does not seem to be a resident of this building.

But why does she feel that this person is familiar?

I must have known each other in my previous life.

Who is it?

Just as I was thinking about it, a woman called from upstairs: "Ru Xin, Ru Bao, stop playing at grandma Gao's house, go home, it's time to eat!"

Hearing this voice, Ru Yue trembled involuntarily.

Well, the voice of my aunt Tang Zihong.

After a lifetime, she still felt uncomfortable when this woman yelled, as if she had seen herself kneeling on the ground as a child, watching Tang Zihong holding up a feather duster and yelling at the same time.

Ru Yue shook her head, got rid of those images, and stepped onto the stairs to go home.

Go up the narrow staircase for nine steps, then turn around and go up to the second floor.

A middle-aged woman pulled two children and came down from the third floor. She walked towards the room on the left side of the second floor with a smile.

She caught a glimpse of Ru Yue walking up the stairs, and the smile on her face miraculously disappeared immediately, turning into a natural disgust: "Why are you back at this time? What are you doing?"

Ru Yue stepped forward and said, "Mother, my fever is just a little bit better. I won't work overtime today."

"Hmph! Just be lazy if you're lazy. What's the matter with having a fever? Whatever you want, I can't get overtime pay anyway!"

The mother-in-law Tang Zihong dropped these words and took the two children into the house.

The room is divided into two sections with cloth curtains.

The front section leads to a small balcony, and a wooden bed about one meter tall is placed at the end.

That was the "room" of Ru Yue and her cousin Ru Xin, with a total size of three square meters.

The last section is the total of the living room, dining room, kitchen corridor, seven or eight square meters, with a table in the middle.

On the table, there were three dishes, three bowls of rice, but four pairs of chopsticks.

The food was not steaming hot, it looked like it had been eaten.

Auntie thought Ru Yue was nothing, so she occupied the table with her two children and sat down to eat.

Ru Yue put her bag on the bedside, turned around and went out, rolled up her sleeves and went to the aluminum pot at the door to fill a bowl of rice, brought it in and sat on the table.

Tang Zihong immediately exploded: "What are you doing?"

Ru Yue generously picked up a chopstick of shredded green pepper and pork: "Let's eat, Auntie."

"Who asked you to eat?"

"As a family, there is no need to give in."

"you!"

Tang Zihong looked at Ru Yue and couldn't react for a moment.

In the past, Ru Yue has always been timid.

But today, she didn't seem to be afraid at all, and she was particularly calm.

Tang Zihong slapped her chopsticks on the table: "You are quite thick-skinned, why don't you eat in the cafeteria? Also, this shredded pork is for Ru Bao, how dare you eat it!"

Ru Yue just took a bite of her food and looked at the three-year-old boy sitting opposite.

Cousin, Ru Bao.

The boy had a pair of narrow eyes and was blinking at Ru Yue.

Having seen Tang Zihong suppress Ru Yue so many times, the child was not afraid of this table-slapping trick. Instead, he pouted at Ru Yue with hostility: "Humph!"

I don’t know what happened to Tang Zihong. She didn’t have children when she was young, but she gave birth to a daughter and a son when she was nearly forty years old. She was very busy.

In order to give birth to this son, Tang Zihong lost her job, and her uncle Ru Datao was also raped by the Forestry Bureau. He was transformed from an office cadre on staff to a temporary forest ranger, living in the middle of the mountain every day and going home only once a week.

She lost her job, her life was not going well, and she had various unsatisfactory experiences. Tang Zihong attributed all these faults to Ru Yue.

Because if Ru Yue had not been adopted, his son would not have become a superborn child.

That hatred is like the water of the Yellow River, flowing endlessly.

So Tang Zihong didn't allow Ru Yue to call her mom, or even serve her at the table.

Today, Ru Yue's actions really violated Tang Zihong's taboo.

Ru Yue looked at Tang Zihong's angry face and smiled: "Auntie, please lower your voice, you might scare Ru Bao."

As she said, she ate her rice as she said, and with a smile she took another chopstick and fried shredded pork with green pepper.

Tang Zihong was so angry that she couldn't help it, and slapped the table with her chopsticks: "Hey! I said you are not allowed to eat! Didn't you hear? You are not allowed to eat!"

Ru Yue just cooks the rice.

Not to mention, after all the training in her previous life, she no longer had any fear when facing Tang Zihong like this again.

But Tang Zihong was not happy.

When she saw that Ru Yue didn't listen to her at all, she reached out to snatch Ru Yue's job.

Ru Yue was already half full, and when Tang Zihong reached out to grab it, she held on to her rice bowl tightly.

Tang Zihong was so angry that she pulled him with both hands: "Let me go and grab your brother's food. Why are you so embarrassed? You are not allowed to eat!"

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat." Ru Yue suddenly let go.

Tang Zihong didn't take precautions, and suddenly she had no place to exert any force. She held the bowl and stepped back, "Hey, hey, hey, hey..." looking for a place to lean on.

However, what is behind her is not a wall, but a cloth used as a partition.

Tang Zihong just took a few steps back and then fell to the ground with a thud, all fours in the air.

Half a bowl of rice was stuck on his face, and his nose was stuffed to cover his eyes.

Tang Zihong: "...!!" Damn it! I can't see it, I can't see it!

Ru Bao on the table burst out laughing and clapped her hands: "Hahaha, hahaha, mom throws a big cross, mom throws a big cross! Hahaha!"

Ru Xin, the little girl sitting on the other side, said "hum" to Ru Yue and got down from the table to help Tang Zihong.

Tang Zihong was so angry that she couldn't speak. She couldn't bear to let go of the rice on her face and nose. She picked it up and ate it while cursing:

"Bitch! Shameless bitch! So why are you hugging a shameless bitch like you! Ah, damn old woman, you even said that a bitch like you would support me. Damn you, you'll just be mad to death.
