Zuo Li walked over with some uncertainty and patted the man: "Excuse me, are you..."
The man was drinking soup with his head down - after all, it was winter and filming was outdoors, so the crew still made hot cabbage soup.
After being patted on the shoulder by Zuo Li, he immediately looked up.
When their eyes met, both of them were shocked.
"It's really you! Sister Ye!"
Zuo Li was shocked. She didn't expect to meet Ye Huiran here.
When he was in Sunshine City, Zuo Li was caught in the mountain village because he was involved in Gu Feichen's affair.
She was imprisoned in a family at that time. If nothing happens, she will be transferred and sold to a more remote mountain village.
That kind of outcome is terrifying just thinking about it.
So she tried every means to escape.
But in that case, hope is slim.
Fortunately, she discovered at that time that the hostess of the house who helped take care of her was also a person who had been trafficked there.
This person is none other than Ye Huiran.
Ye Huiran also has a son named Pei Bingwen.
The three of them finally succeeded in escaping from that sinful mountain village with Gu Feichen's rescue.
Even with the help of Gu Feichen, those people were successfully punished.
After that, Zuo Li sent Ye Huiran and her son on the green train before New Year's Day and asked them to return to their hometown to find their relatives.
Before Zuo Li left Sunshine City for the capital, they actually had several phone calls.
During the phone call, Ye Huiran never complained, only saying that she and Pei Bingwen were living well in their hometown.
But now I see Ye Huiran working as an extra in this winter, wearing a smelly costume and with messy hair.
This has nothing to do with the peaceful years she said on the phone.
In particular, Zuo Li could see that Ye Huiran had lost a lot of weight and his energy had not improved.
I used to be beaten up in the village, so it was normal for me to feel bad mentally.
But what about now?
What happened to make her look so tired?
"You are... Lili!" Ye Huiran never expected that he would still see Zuo Li two months later.
Immediately, she panicked and wanted to wipe her dirty face and straighten her hair.
"Why are you here? Are you passing by, or are you here for something?" Ye Huiran tried his best to smile.
But the smile on her thin face only made people feel sad.
"Sister Ye!" Zuo Li took her hand and said in a more somber tone, "Are you having a hard time? It's already now, do you still want to hide it from me?"
In the future, when the entertainment industry develops, many extras may be doing it for their dreams.
But now, only in the past eight years, everyone generally believes that state-owned enterprises are the most powerful.
The best proof is that even if the policy is open, there are very few self-employed people.
These status quos will only change after 1985.
Therefore, Ye Huiran came here to work, obviously there was no other way.
Ye Huiran's face froze, and she looked at Zuo Li for a while, and finally stood up with red eyes.
"I... I just happened to have finished my work today. I will come to you after paying the wages. Whatever happened, we will talk about it later, okay Lili?"
Ye Huiran's tone was almost pleading.
Zuo Li also noticed that many people around were pointing at them.
Perhaps, they knew Ye Huiran.
Zuo Li hummed and let go of Ye Huiran.
She watched as she trotted over to a short middle-aged man who was picking his feet.
The man was wearing cotton clothes, which were much better than those worn by the extras.
Not sure what the two said, the short man glanced in Zuo Li's direction.
Probably because of the distance, he quickly looked away.
But at this moment, Zuo Li noticed that the man patted Ye Huiran's butt!!!
Finally, he took out a few banknotes from his body and handed them to Ye Huiran.
Zuo Li almost rushed over and slapped the man.
But in the end, I endured it.
Just at this time, Gu Feichen came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zuo Li: "I met Sister Ye, Sister Ye Huiran, do you still remember?"
Gu Fei frowned, as if he didn't think of it for a moment.
But when he saw Ye Huiran walking over, he nodded: "I remember, why is she here?"
Zuo Li couldn't answer because she didn't know either.
Until now, she is in a state of confusion.
She felt that her sudden appearance just now was not a good thing for Ye Huiran.
Ye Huiran had already walked over at this time, her expression was much calmer at this time, and she nodded towards Gu Fei.
"Mr. Gu."
"Um."
Ye Huiran: "Do you two have time to go to my place now? Or tomorrow..."
It is indeed too late today, and the gorgeous sunset on the horizon has already been dyed ink.
"Okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Zuo Li said, "I just don't know if it's convenient."
"It's nothing inconvenient. Bingwen also wants to see you."
Ye Huiran took them away from West Lake, and after walking for about twenty minutes, they arrived at a very backward housing area.
There are tube buildings all around, and the streets are paved with blue bricks, which are a bit wet. The corners of the walls are covered with black moss, and there is an unpleasant smell.
It seemed to be a sewer, and it also smelled like fish or something rotten.
This is normal. There is no such thing as garbage classification today. Most of the domestic garbage of residents is processed in a centralized manner, but the unpleasant smell is still unavoidable.
Just like even in a big city like H City, there are still such poor and backward areas.
And here, it's not far from the West Lake.
Zuo Li didn't mind that the smell here was bad - the place where Zuo's family lived was even worse than loving it here. She still remembers the toilet she saw when she first went back.
Looking at Ye Huiran's thin figure leading the way, Zuo Li pursed her lips.
Then, she felt Gu Feichen tighten her hand.
As if to say, he is there for everything.
"We're almost there." Ye Huiran didn't say anything along the way, nor did he talk about what he had experienced recently.
Zuo Li wanted to ask more questions, but held back.
At this moment, when we were almost at the end of an alleyway, there was a noise in front of us.
"Haha, you cripple still want to covet my family's heirlooms?"
"You little bastard has no self-awareness at all. You and your shameless Chang woman have really tarnished our surname Ye."
"That's right, it's annoying to see you, a little bastard! Staring at me? What are you staring at! I'm your cousin!"
After the noisy and disgusting voice, there was a forbearing young voice: "That bracelet was left to my mother by my grandparents!"
Zuo Li was shocked!
This voice... belongs to Pei Bingwen!
So those people who used to talk foul words were just looking for trouble!
As expected, Ye Huiran quickened his pace.
At the end of the alleyway, in front of a low house similar to a warehouse, Pei Bingwen was lying on the ground, and there were two young men and a woman standing in front of him.
"Bingwen!" When she saw Pei Bingwen knocked to the ground, she rushed forward anxiously to help him up, and then stared at the other three angrily.
"Sister-in-law, I have moved out of the Ye family and even moved here, why don't you let me and Bingwen go!"
Zheng Xiaohua's eyebrows are thin and light, her eyes are small, her head is small, but her body is relatively round, and the whole thing looks uncoordinated and mean.
"I don't want to see you mother and son, but who would have thought that I just discovered today that the heirloom at home has been stolen.
After thinking about it, the only ones around you who might do such a thing are you, mother and son.
Sure enough, when I brought my family to search, I found this bracelet."
She raised her left hand and wore an all-green bracelet on her wrist, which looked extremely beautiful under the increasingly dark sky.
"You two, mother and son, are really ignorant. You thought it was just dirty blood on your body, but you didn't expect to steal things.
I don’t know if this matter will spread out and you will still be able to rent a place to live. I’m afraid no one will be willing to rent even a small warehouse like this to you.”
Ye Huiran said sadly and angrily: "What else do you want? I don't want anything from my parents' property, and this bracelet was also left to me by them! When I took it away, you clearly didn't say anything!
Why are you making things difficult for us now! And Bingwen, you clearly know his legs...why are you still doing this?!"
Zheng Xiaohua snorted coldly, thinking that she didn't know that the bracelet left by the dead old woman was so valuable!
I thought it was just a bargain, but it couldn't be compared to the big house that the couple left behind.
"Who said that a noble man would take a fancy to this bracelet, and who said that the bracelet is yours! Is there your name on it?
Ye Huiran, people can’t be too greedy..."
"You're right, people can't be too greedy sometimes." Zuo Li couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Zheng Xiaohua.
But her voice was calm, and there was only suppressed anger in her eyes.
Obviously, Ye Huiran and her son encountered a lot of things after they came back.
Among them, the best relatives must have squeezed them.
Just listen to what these people called Ye Huiran and Pei Bingwen.
Zuo Li was extremely angry!
It's not her, the Holy Mother, who has to take care of everyone else's affairs.
It’s just that she has always known that a drop of kindness will be repaid by a spring.
She was able to handle even the matter of Lin Shu, whom she met by chance, let alone Ye Huiran and her son, whom she regarded as her benefactors!
It was already dark. Zheng Xiaohua did not see clearly Zuo Li and Gu Feichen who stood up for a moment. She held her head high and said arrogantly:
"Who are you? Is it your turn to take care of our Ye family's affairs? I advise you not to meddle in others' affairs, otherwise you will be blessed!"
"Here, Mom."
"Yes, stay out of other people's affairs, otherwise you will be beaten!"
He raised his fist and threatened with force.
In the past few decades, wars raged, but many people still had the toughness left in their bones.
"Oh? Really? You want to do something to my wife?" Gu Feichen came over and hugged Zuo Li.
In an instant, he, who was a little over 1.9 meters tall, frightened the two men from the Ye family who were only about 1.7 meters tall.
The two of them stepped forward, and under the weak streetlight not far away, they were finally able to see each other's general appearance clearly.
Zheng Xiaohua felt bad when she saw Zuo Li and Gu Feichen.
Just by looking at their appearance, these two people seem to have extraordinary origins.
How does Ye Huiran know such a person?
Zuo Li looked not far away. There was an overturned wheelchair on the ground. Next to the wheelchair, Pei Bingwen was sitting there in embarrassment, and Ye Huiran was supporting him.
Pei Bingwen's legs... were obviously fine two months ago.
Zuo Li was angry and turned to look at Zheng Xiaohua. Those clear eyes always made people feel scary when they looked at people: "Apologise!"
