Chapter 82: Accordion Case (1/2)
Tang Jinyu has been following Xia Ye, but there are other things that occasionally distract the little guy.
When he saw Old Chen going back, he rarely ran past Xia Ye, raised his head and talked to the old man earnestly. When Xia Ye approached, he heard that the little guy was telling his grandpa to put his accordion away, ”Grandpa, I'll take it home tomorrow. You must put it away for me, it can't be put upside down. It has my name on it. You see, my name is right there!”
Old Chen smiled and nodded in agreement, since he knew that his little grandson would use this accordion for his performance, so he kept it in his study on the first floor, but now the old man carried his accordion and put it on the second floor for him.
Chen Qiuguo and Pei Yun saw this as they passed by, and Chen Qiuguo hurriedly stepped forward and said, ”Dad, what are you carrying? It's so heavy, let me come.”
Old Chen waved his hand and didn't let his daughter touch it, ”No, I’m bringing Xiaoyu's things up for him. I wouldn’t feel relieved if it was someone else..”
Chen Qiuguo smiled and said, ”What kind of baby is this that you have to bring it up personally?”
”That’s right, a big baby.” The old man amused them with a few words, and left, fulfilling his promise and personally carried the suitcase to the guest room and put them in place.
Pei Yun was still looking upstairs, her pace was a bit slow.
Chen Qiuguo asked: ”What's the matter?” She glanced upstairs and laughed. ”That's what Xiaoyu brought from home. It's probably some kind of toy, you don't really believe what Dad said, do you?”
Pei Yun smiled reluctantly: ”Of course not.”
Chen Qiuguo asked a few words about Deqing’s illness. Hearing Pei Jun said that the child was almost well, she said with relief: “It’s so good, Deqing has a strong body, and he will be cured after a few days of minor illness. If it was Xiaoyu, I would estimate that it would take ten days to half a month in the hospital. They would have to take care of him for more than half a month when he got home. You don't know, he almost couldn't go to school in the winter of the previous two years, so he invited his teacher to teach himself at home. It's pitiful to think about it.”
Pei Yun nodded, but didn't respond.
Chen Qiuguo lived close by, so she and Pei Jun could usually see each other. She glanced at her sister-in-law and patted her arm lightly and said, ”You, everything is good, and you are honest, but your heart is soft, and you believe what people say about you.”
”No……”
”I haven't told you yet, but I don’t know who is gossiping behind your back this time, but you’ve been uncomfortable about how our mom treats my little sister, right?”
Chen Qiuguo said slowly, ”Then you should also think about this. No matter who happens to us, Mom will definitely help us. Huayan, Deyun, and Deqing are in good health, you should be content, and should cherish your happiness.”
Pei Yun said bitterly: ”Sister, I know what you mean, but I just can't help but always pay attention.”
”What's the point of doing so, we’re already old.”
Chen Qiuguo persuaded a few words. She was the most gentle and generous member of the Chen family. She usually gets along with everyone, but now she just sighs when she sees Pei Yun. Although this younger sister-in-law is a bit careful, there are also good things about her.
Chen Qiuguo saw that she couldn't get rid of her horns, and she said a few words that her mother's family mentioned, and said to her: ”Yeah, you listened to your mother's words so much, When Wen Qian and the others went to transport materials, there was news on the road that they had a car accident and their faces were destroyed, your mother's family asked you to leave this family, why didn't you leave?”
Pei Yun was a little embarrassed by what she did when she was young.
Chen Qiuguo smiled and said: ”Remember that at that time, Pei's family was about to divorce. You ran to the hospital without saying a word, carrying two boxes. The people in the hospital thought that you eloped. Fortunately, my second brother was fine, and look how good it’s been.” She looked at Pei Yun and felt that this person was full of vitality when she was young, and she didn't know why she became like this in the past two years.
Pei Yun followed her all the way back, thinking again and again in her heart.
She had these thoughts even back then, but it was not all her mother's family instigating things. If she didn’t have any suspicion in her heart, then nothing would have been instigated.
After all, she has a heart disease.
(T/n: I don't think she actually means that she has an illness, but that she had a bad feeling brewing in her heart)
She has always had this thorn in her heart, which has been pierced for many years and has not been unraveled.
A few years ago, Chen Suling went home to visit her family and seek medical treatment when her child was one year old. She was sympathetic at first, but one day she accidentally saw Old Chen leaving a thing for her child, and she heard it with her own ears that it was something unique. From then on, she suffered from an illness. At first, she suspected that it was because the child was sick that they gave them some money. But after her mother came to talk about it many times, she began to wonder again, and began to suspect that they wanted to pass on the Chen family's property to the boy.
Pei Yun only had one daughter at that time, so it didn’t leave her with a good feeling in her heart, so she insists on giving birth to a boy.
But Old Chen did not say anything else. Tang Jinyu got a share of property when he was just over one year old. Her Deqing was four years old this year and she got nothing. The two old people only gave a share to other juniors during the holidays, and the rest did not express anything.
Pei Jun felt that the two elders of the Chen family were unfair, and the thought that was rolling in her heart, in the final analysis, was her own heart disease that she had accumulated over the years.
In the evening, Pei Yun accompanied Chen Qiuguo and Chen Suling to send away the last relatives and friends. She heard Chen Qiuguo say that she was going to the mall to buy things, but she refused to go with them: ”I have something to do, Deqing is in good health now, so I will stay with him, eldest sister and younger sister, you can go.”
