Chapter 87 If you're going to laugh, why are you sitting cross-legged?
Silent until the moment of truth, then a stunning statement; Ye Jingke's brief remark successfully captured the attention of both the Yu and Xu families.
They disregarded everyone except Cheng Ai, but the young man in front of them suddenly expressed his opinion, leaving them speechless.
Whether it's my imagination or not, this seven-time Best Actor winner seems to have an innate aura that makes people afraid to look him in the eye.
A long silence fell over the surroundings.
Cheng Ai covered her mouth and yawned, her tone extremely impatient, "Tell me about your ill-fated relationship with Master Wu, and don't forget how you met Yu."
She then turned to Zhong Zheyi and the others and said, "Go to sleep if you're tired. You can't help with anything here."
At the same time, she nudged the man next to her with her elbow.
After a moment's thought, Ye Jingke understood Cheng Ai's meaning. He secretly took out his phone, turned on the recording function, and planned to record the conversation that was about to take place.
Since the boss hadn't left, Zhong Zheyi, as a struggling, unsigned actor, naturally didn't dare to leave first.
Song Yifei and the others stood still. They couldn't guarantee the safety of the bedroom, so rather than hiding under the covers and trembling, they decided to stick close to Cheng Ai.
The eight members of the Yu and Xu families finally had the opportunity to tell their incredibly tragic story, and they all burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Ye Jingke glanced at his phone's battery and time, and couldn't help but frown and urge, "Hurry up, Ai Ai and I still need to sleep!"
The other person was so frightened that they immediately stopped crying.
Xu Qianhui sniffed and began to recount old stories, "Wu Xu and I are the same age and neighbors. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we were childhood sweethearts."
We often ate together, went to school together, and did our homework together. Except for sleeping and going to the toilet, we were almost inseparable.
The elders in our neighborhood all thought we were a match made in heaven. After we came of age, our parents even sat down together to discuss the dowry and bride price.
The Xu family had a lot to say on this matter, and Xu Wanli angrily took over the conversation, "Wu Xu is bad, and his father is even worse. Before Qi Ya and I even agreed to the marriage of the two children, he made a bunch of demands on his own, such as Qian Hui having to bring a house and a car as a dowry when she gets married, and having to give birth to two children within three years after marriage, and they must be a boy and a girl!"
He glared at Wu Xu with disgust and sneered, "I kicked them out immediately. Money is fine, but Qianhui isn't just for having babies. The Xu family wouldn't stoop to marrying such a barbaric in-law!"
As he finished speaking, he coughed repeatedly, his shadowy figure shifting in varying shades, almost indistinguishable if not for a blue silk thread binding him.
Zhu Qiya hovered nervously around Xu Wanli, gently reminding him, "Don't get angry, or you'll be reduced to ashes."
She continued mid-air, picking up where he left off, "When Qianhui came home from university for the holidays, I told her about Wu Xu. Although Wanli and I were dissatisfied with the Wu family, we mainly listened to our daughter. Fortunately, Qianhui didn't like Wu Xu either, which saved us a lot of trouble."
She paused for a few seconds, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly. "Qianhui majored in nursing and interned at the city's central hospital after graduation. At that time, a small county called Guisong was hit by a sudden flood, resulting in countless deaths and injuries."
The hospital needed to send medical staff to provide support, and Qianhui signed up without hesitation. We were worried about our daughter and tried to persuade her to think it over, but the result was obvious: she resolutely insisted on going.
Wang Yuetang's eyes lit up instantly, filled with excitement. "The Yu family has lived in a small mountain village in Guisong County for generations. It is surrounded by mountains and is extremely poor. The villagers rely on the mountains for their livelihood and the rivers for their water. They have not had a hard life in recent years."
Yu Dou sighed sadly, "But precisely because of the mountains and the river, if there are torrential rains for a few days, the entire village will be in danger."
Wang Yuetang nodded vigorously, "That time, the heavy rain lasted for a week without stopping, the mountain collapsed, and the mudslide swept in. Many villagers panicked and ran away, and were buried alive."
She was heartbroken, and tears streamed down her face. "After putting our parents in the cellar, Adou and I ran out to help rescue the elderly people who had difficulty moving around. Fortunately, the rescue team arrived soon after."
Wang Yuetang was crying so hard he couldn't speak. Yu Dou and the others hurriedly comforted him. Song Yifei and Zhong Zheyi were a little tired. One sat behind Cheng Ai, while the other stood against the wall.
Cheng Baoni was even more tired due to her pregnancy. She found a chair and sat down, without even glancing at Hao Jian.
Cheng Ai wanted to hear about jade, but she hadn't heard anything. She slumped in Ye Jingke's arms, yawning incessantly.
After the two families in the center of the restaurant had finished crying, Yu Liangyan looked at Qian Hui with deep affection and said, "I first met my wife in a small hospital in Guisong County. I was working in another city, and when I learned that my grandparents and parents were all in the hospital, I hurriedly asked for leave to visit them."
Outside the ward, I saw Qianhui meticulously applying alcohol to my grandfather, administering an IV drip, and feeding him his medicine. At that moment, my heart was moved.
His thoughts drifted away, and he spoke with disdain, "Many of the doctors and nurses who came to provide support were not very friendly to patients. They hated working in such harsh conditions and hated taking care of the elderly even more. The reason they rushed to sign up was probably because it would be beneficial for their promotions!"
Yu Liangyan changed the subject, a charming smile playing on his lips, a stark contrast to his previous ferocious demeanor. “But Qianhui is different. She is kind-hearted, gentle and weak yet very brave. After a few encounters, her every smile and gesture has become unforgettable in my mind.”
Yu Dahai wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and stared at Yu Dou. "The cellar is very safe. The only drawback is that it's not well ventilated. My wife and I felt dizzy and lightheaded after going down there for a short while."
He curled his lip in disdain and said helplessly, "We could have climbed out, but the exit is blocked by heavy rocks, and we can't push them open at all."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ai couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing. She sat up straight, crossed her legs, and her shoulders trembled, making her look particularly comical.
Ye Jingke reluctantly wrapped his coat around her, afraid that she might be exposed.
If you're going to laugh, why are you sitting cross-legged?
Luckily, I took an extra piece of Zhong Zheyi's clothing, otherwise I would have had to go back to get it.
"Hahaha!" With Cheng Ai leading the way, Song Yifei couldn't stop laughing. "No wonder he's my own son, his filial piety is truly moving!"
Yu Dou awkwardly touched his nose, muttering to himself, "I only packed it tightly because I was afraid of flooding."
Yu Dahai snorted coldly and looked at Xu Qianhui with an increasingly kind gaze. "When I woke up, Qianhui was feeding Meimei. I learned from her that a total of fifty-six people died in the village, and nearly a hundred were injured. All of Yu's family members except Yan Liang were among them."
After Qianhui's meticulous care, we stayed in the hospital for a week before being sent to a temporary shelter. After the village was rebuilt, everyone was eager to return. Some were holding funerals, some were cleaning their homes, and some were clearing roads—in short, everyone was in a chaotic rush.
