Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1037 Pei's Father's 8 Trigrams (8000 words)

Chapter 1037 Gossip about Pei's Father (8000 words)
In the past, everyone felt that they were not their biological grandchildren, and now they feel even more like their father was adopted.

They are all grandsons, why is there such a big difference between them?

Fortunately, I can still be a father.

The children who were most capable of livening up the atmosphere have all run away, the older generation has become silent, and now even those in the middle have suddenly become depressed and don’t want to talk anymore. It’s so infuriating.

So once they entered the village, everyone simply said something to each other and then went back to their homes.

Only the old lady was supported by the three brothers, Aunt Ye, and her uncle to the Mazu Temple on the beach.

Without asking the gods, neither Ye's father nor Uncle Ye would give in. Something that had finally made some progress would be shelved again. Who knows what this delay will last.

Ye Yaodong ignored them since his father would take care of it.

When he took a string of mooncakes home, he burped at the same time, and all kinds of curses came from the three houses.

Ye Chenghu spoke the loudest, "Isn't there a washing machine?"

"Just because there's a washing machine, you can play so dirty, right? Is that an excuse? Take it off quickly."

"If you don't hit me, I'll take off..."

"You still dare to bargain..."

"I don't want to take off my clothes. It will hurt if I take them off. Are you going to beat me now?" Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang huddled in a corner, their voices getting lower and lower.

He first scraped the stones on the ground at the door with the soles of his shoes to remove the mud under his feet before entering the house. When he entered the house, he could still hear Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang arguing in a low voice, and the two disliked each other.

"Don't hide behind me, you're so dirty..."

"You are dirty too..."

"You are dirtier..."

Lin Xiuqing angrily cornered the two and beat them, while the two children jumped up and down like monkeys, pushing each other and trying to hide behind each other. It was as funny as it could be.

Ye Yaodong looked around the room with familiarity. Ye Xiaoxi was sitting in a recliner with his legs swinging back and forth, watching his two brothers getting beaten. He was also eating the oranges that his aunt had brought him in the morning. He looked very content.

He walked over and spread out his palm, "Give me some."

Ye Xiaoxi's face wrinkled into a ball, and then he carefully broke off a small half and put it in his hand.

Ye Yaodong put it in his mouth, and as a result, his eyes narrowed into a line and his facial features were distorted due to the sourness.

She kept giggling as she watched.

“So sour?”

"Hahaha~ idiot~"

Lin Xiuqing beat the children for a while, but seeing that they were wearing such thick clothes and it didn't hurt, she felt it was boring and tired, so she glared at them and told them to go take a bath.

She planned to ask Ye Yaodong about his visit to the grave first.

She would wait until they had finished showering and were clean, then she would take off their pants and beat them properly. Now they were so dirty, she was too lazy to do it.

"What? Where's grandma? Why didn't she come back with us? Where's aunt and dad?"

"I went to the Mazu Temple to smash the Holy Grail."

He told her what had happened on the mountain.

"We argued until we got down the mountain, and no one could convince the other, so we decided to go to the Mazu Temple and smash the Holy Grail."

"Will this work? Usually the old lady will throw it several times until she is satisfied. She has no authority at all. When the result of the throw comes out, no one will be convinced."

"Then at least we can fall down first and see what Mazu says, and then we can talk about it when they come back."

"Should I cook more for my aunt and uncle?"

"Cook more. We have to keep them for dinner. It's time for dinner, so it's a good idea to cook more. If they don't stay, we can make fried rice for dinner."

"I want fried rice with egg!" Ye Chenghu brought a basin of water and did not forget to state his request.

"Do you want to eat the whip?"

"No."

He quickly took the hot water he had mixed and carried it back to the master bedroom, sprinkling it as he walked.

There was originally an unused room downstairs, which was now filled with dried fish. Although there was a bunk bed, there was nothing else in it except the bed. Lin Xiuqing was also worried that when they took a bath, water would spill everywhere and get the dried fish wet, so she didn't allow them to go into that room to wash, and asked them to take the basin to the master bedroom to wash.

After glancing at the two mud monkeys, she turned around and talked to Ye Yaodong.

"It would be much easier if this could be settled. There would be no more hassles. Has the family of my aunt become more comfortable in recent years? She could also directly ask for the money from my uncle and write an IOU for it."

"Maybe. The sons are married, and the daughters are married. The two old people have no burden, and they don't have to spend a lot of money. They can still earn money, so it's normal for them to save some money. What's more, my aunt has always been very clear-headed. Repairing the tomb is a big deal, and it's also a good thing."

"Then I'll go cook first. No matter what the result is, there will definitely be another quarrel when I come back." Lin Xiuqing tied on an apron and started preparing lunch.

Originally, when they went up the mountain in the morning, she had already prepared all the dishes for lunch at home. Now she just had to add two more dishes while cooking.

Fortunately, she was not busy these days and could still prepare meals for the guests. They had not gone out to sea for more than 10 days, and the workshop had been idle for almost half a month. She was also free at home, so she just took advantage of the sunny days to arrange the delivery of the fish sauce every now and then, keep account and collect the money.

Ye Yaodong, an idle man waiting for food, sat with Ye Xiaoxi to watch TV. He saw her stuffing orange pieces into her mouth one by one. Her eyes and nose were wrinkled because of the sourness, but she kept eating.

"Is it tasty?"

She shook her head.

"Then you still eat!"

Ye Xiaoxi wrinkled her face, looked at him innocently, and continued to suck the orange in her hand bit by bit with a pout, without saying a word.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and answered for her, "She just has an itchy mouth."

"So greedy."

Ye Yaodong smiled and rubbed her head. The two little knots tied on the top of her head had become a little loose after half a day. He rubbed them and they became even messier.

Ye Xiaoxi also shook her head to avoid his big hand.

"Mom, where are my clothes?" Ye Chenghu, naked and huddled behind the door, called out to Lin Xiuqing, his feet hopping non-stop, "It's so cold, so cold~"

"You don't even know where to put your clothes? You have to ask me for everything. How old are you? I have to serve you until you grow old..."

"Dad is already that old and still asks you."

"How can it be the same? That's the wife I married."

"Shame on you~ Naked~ So naked~"

"Don't look!"

Lin Xiuqing stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove before going into the house to find clothes for the brothers.

Ye Yaodong watched TV and looked outside from time to time. It felt like more than half an hour had passed. Why hadn't he returned after such a long time? He didn't know if they had quarreled in the temple.

He walked to the door and looked around again. There was no one walking on the beach, so they were probably still in the temple.

He waited left and right, but no one came. An hour had passed and it was almost time for dinner, so a bunch of people came back to his eldest brother's house next door.

He only realized that someone had returned when he heard voices from next door in the room, and he immediately got up and hurried over.

As soon as he got there, he heard his father talking loudly.

"Mazu has already said that it's just that piece of land, what else do you want? You said it all fine, but now you want to change your mind."

The old lady also stabbed the ground with her cane a few times. "No matter what, it's you who disagrees. The second and third brothers have no objections, but you are the one who has a strong opinion and is too troublesome. When you threw it away, you clearly said you would only throw it once and listen to Mazu. Now you regret it again."

"Mom, you can't help the third brother all day long. You have to think about the situation of my family. The feng shui of that piece of land is really not good for my family..."

"Then how can you guarantee that if you look at another piece of land, the feng shui will be good for your family? At that time, we also asked someone to look at the land very well. Weren't all three families doing well at the beginning? It has been like this for several years. I don't think it has anything to do with feng shui."

"Your family has been getting more and more prosperous in recent years, so of course you said that..."

The two argued until their faces turned red, but they couldn't come to a conclusion. They kept saying the same things over and over again, and neither could convince the other. After listening for a while, Ye Yaodong sighed and felt a headache.

Uncle Ye Erbo hadn't said a word, waiting for the two families to argue.

It was not until Ye Yaopeng interrupted them hesitantly that he said, "How about we ask a fortune teller to calculate the horoscopes of the uncle's family tomorrow and then go to the mountain to see if the land is suitable for his family? If the fortune teller says it is good, then don't change it. If it is really not suitable, then find another piece of land that suits everyone?"

Ye Erbo spoke up at this time, "That's fine too. Let's first see if it's a Feng Shui issue that doesn't suit Big Brother's family. Then we can calculate the horoscopes of the people in Big Brother's family. Otherwise, no one can convince anyone after arguing over it, and the matter will remain unsolved."

Uncle Ye immediately agreed, "Okay, that's it. I'll find someone to calculate the horoscope first, and then see if the feng shui is suitable for our family."

Aunt Ye also said, "Then you should find someone to take a look. If the doctor says there is no problem, then you can no longer object."

"That's for sure. If it's not a feng shui issue, then I just consider myself unlucky." Uncle Ye gritted his teeth and agreed.

If it wasn't a matter of feng shui, what else could he say?
After arguing for a long time, they finally made a concession and reached an agreement for the time being. Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady also waved her cane to chase them away, "Well, we have been arguing about this for the whole morning, and it is time for lunch, so you can all go back to your homes for lunch. I will not keep you here, I am also eating at Dongzi's house."

Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye nodded and went out, ready to go home for dinner.

Aunt Ye and Uncle Ye also planned to go back, but Ye Yaodong stopped them and invited them to finish their meal before leaving.

"Whose food did the wind blow in? You don't have any land, so you buy food from others. We won't have two more mouths to feed. We'll have food to eat when we go home. It's good enough that the problem is solved. Let me know when you start repairing the tomb."

"Dongzi has invited you, and it's a rare opportunity for you to come, so just stay and eat. I think Qing has already prepared the meal, so don't waste it. You are not outsiders, you are all family members..."

The old lady and Ye Yaodong strongly invited them, and Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also politely invited them.

They couldn't refuse, so they followed Ye Yaodong back to eat.

Among the three brothers, Ye Yaodong is the most successful, the richest and the most promising. So if anyone wants to stay for dinner, of course they would choose to go to his house first.

Everyone originally thought that the tomb repair matter would be left like this for now. Uncle Ye would ask a fortune teller to take a look at it first, so no one went out to sea at night. They just waited and saw what would happen the next day. It would not be too late to go out to sea after solving this matter first.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, Uncle Ye's face turned pale and he looked haggard as if he had not slept all night. His eyes were bloodshot. He ran over and said that there was no need to look for a cemetery. We could just use the original piece of mountain land and find someone to pick a date and start construction today.

Everyone was very surprised. Father Ye didn't even bother to continue eating his breakfast. He put down his chopsticks and asked a few questions first.

But Uncle Ye gritted his teeth and said nothing, just saying that he had figured it out.

It was only when Ye Yaodong saw that he looked listless and had dark circles under his eyes that he asked him if he had a nightmare.
He then said with a pale face that he had been having dreams since he fell asleep that night. He dreamed that his father came to him in his dream and scolded him for being unfilial, and wanted him to die without a burial place and so on. He had never treated him properly when he was alive, and he wanted to mistreat him after his death...

Uncle Ye was so scared that he couldn't sleep the whole night. As soon as he fell asleep, it was as if someone was standing beside his bed, and his father was crawling up to him and questioning him in his mind.

So early this morning, as soon as it got light, he immediately ran over and said that he would immediately choose a date to repair the tomb, and then asked the old lady to help recite a few more sutras and talk to the old man.

Originally, I planned to go directly to the old house, but who knew that Ye's father got up so early. He came to have breakfast just after dawn, so I had to run back and forth to him.

Ye Yaodong looked at the people and said after they left with a mixture of laughter and tears: "My grandma is really amazing. She just said a few words and my grandpa took them to heart. He came up to me in the middle of the night to settle the score with my uncle?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Your uncle was just distracted by what happened during the day. He was frightened by the dream."

Ye's mother said sarcastically: "If you don't do anything wrong during the day, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night. That means you are guilty. Otherwise, why would you be afraid of your own father looking for him at night?"

The old lady stopped them from talking any more. "It's fine as long as we agree on it. There's no need to talk about all this. He looks pitiful. Later, the third brother will go to the next village to find a master to pick a date for the construction and find a few bricklayers. Then, let Afan go to the mountain to work with him. This will at least help with the share of the debt and reduce the debt."

"understood."

Of course it would be best if it could be solved so easily.

Father Ye quickly finished the meal in his bowl and immediately went to find someone to pick a date. He also called the workers to quickly set a time to start work to avoid regrets later and other miscellaneous voices. When there are many people, there will be many opinions, which can easily lead to chaos.

After everything was settled, he handed the matter over to Uncle Ye Er. After all, if the weather was good and the sea was calm, they would go out to sea again. Given Uncle Ye's condition, no one dared to ask him to do anything. It happened that Uncle Ye Er was not doing anything now, so he asked him to supervise from time to time.

When it comes to the important matter of building the ancestral tomb, he would not dare to act recklessly or destroy the feng shui.

What's more, Ye Yaofan also went to work on the tomb repair, so they could supervise each other. The workers were called by Ye's father, so if there was any problem, he would come and tell them first and let them make the decision.

The day after Pei's father visited the grave, he went out to sea and sent A Guang to the city. He couldn't wait for the Dongsheng. There were so many things to do in their family, and who knew how long it would take to negotiate, so he left first.

Indeed, it was three days later when Ye's father finished arranging all these things, and they only started to get busy with the preparations for going out to sea at night.

It's already April, and there will be more fish in the spring. Every day without going out to sea is a day of loss.

But before they could go out to sea at night, it started to drizzle in the evening. Worried about the bad weather in the open sea, they had to postpone their trip for another day.

Unexpectedly, after a day's rest, the Harvest came back the next day, also saying that the weather in the open sea was bad and the waves were big.

The father and son had no choice but to continue resting. Fortunately, they were not as financially strapped as other families. So they might as well rest. It wouldn’t be a big deal to rest for a year.

Also because he had free time, after the construction of the cemetery started, he would run to the mountain every day to watch the workers chiseling the rocks. From time to time, he would go down the mountain and pass by A Guang's house to have a drink with Pei's father before going back.

So when it was time for dinner, Ye's mother would start scolding Ye's father when she saw his face turn red at the dinner table.

"You're drinking horse urine in the middle of the day. I shouldn't let you do nothing. I asked you to weave more baskets, but you didn't know where to weave. If I hadn't seen you covered in mud every day, I would have suspected that you were running to some widow's house."

"What nonsense! You are old and you still say such things."

"The in-laws are all preparing to start their second spring, what can't be said?"

Father Ye almost spit out a mouthful of soup, and quickly swallowed it and coughed violently, "How did you know?"

"Humph, is there anything in the village that you can hide from me?"

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing also had shocked expressions on their faces.

Ye Yaodong quickly stretched his neck and swallowed his food, "Then what do you mean? Uncle Pei's second spring? With which widow? No way? Is this true? Is A Guang going to have a stepmother? Shit…"

Father Ye quickly glared at the mother and son, "Don't talk nonsense, we haven't even started yet, watch your mouth, if it gets out, how will people live?"

Lin Xiuqing's face was full of curiosity. She bit her chopsticks and asked in disbelief, "Mom, are you serious? Uncle Pei is going to find another one. Hasn't he been single for more than ten years? He hasn't found another one for such a long time. Why is he looking for one now?"

"Yeah, I didn't look for it when I was young, but I'm looking for it now. Is it... interesting to look for it here... ahem, still looking for it at this age?" Ye Yaodong was embarrassed to say it so bluntly, as there were old and young people at the dinner table.

If it were just him and A-qing, he would have no taboos.

“Why are you asking about our elders’ affairs…” Father Ye stopped them from asking further, still trying to cover it up.

"What's the point of not talking about it? It's a matter of time," Ye Yaodong said with a gossipy face. "What's going on? Mom, is there anything to say about this? Which widow did Uncle Pei date? He's already 50, right? He doesn't look much younger than my dad."

Father Ye glared at him fiercely, "Don't compare him to me. He is one year younger than me. You are the only one who talks too much. When we eat all day, we always gossip about other people."

Mother Ye also glared at Father Ye, "Don't you like to hear it? If not during meals, when will you tell it? Don't you have to know a little bit about what's going on in the village? Otherwise, no matter what people ask you, you won't know the answer."

"Why do you need to know so much..."

"Hey, stop keeping us in suspense. Which widow is Uncle Pei dating?" Lin Xiuqing felt like she was being scratched by a cat. If it were someone else, she wouldn't be so curious, but it had to be related to her family.

"Isn't there a widow next door to my in-laws? Two years ago, I saw with my own eyes that the man in the family was caught in a fishing net and dragged into the sea. The two older daughters in the family are already married, leaving only the younger child, an orphan and a widow. My in-laws felt sorry for them, so they would come to help chop firewood, fetch water, etc., and after a while, someone saw it and spread the word around."

"I know, I know. It was the widow who sold their family's first boat to Uncle Pei." Ye Yaodong's eyes were burning with gossip and he spoke immediately.

"Yes, that's their family. There's always gossip about widows. Although they're both old, there's no guarantee that the neighbors will gossip about them. If someone hears them, the rumors will spread out of proportion. But last year, there were fewer people talking about them because my in-laws were often away at sea, and there were also some big dramas in the village from time to time."

"Then why are you talking about Uncle Pei's second spring now?"

"That Ma Lifang, oh, that widow, was seen going in and out of her in-laws' house at mealtime, delivering cooked food to them."

"That's it?"

"What else? One often comes to fetch water, chop wood, and deliver fish and shrimps, and the other comes to deliver prepared dishes. The two of them come and go, and who would believe that they didn't order anything?"

Ye Yaodong's face was full of regret. He thought he would hear something exciting, like an old clam holding a pearl.

Lin Xiuqing agreed with this and felt that there must be something fishy going on.

"Did someone see it again in the past two days, so it started spreading again?"

"Yes, the neighbors saw Ma Lifang bringing food over these past two days, and they all joked that they might be getting married soon. Ma Lifang didn't refute them, she just smiled and told everyone not to speculate."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like Guang is really going to have a stepmother."

Mother Ye slapped him twice and said, "Why are you so happy? Why are you gloating over other people's misfortunes? Do you really want your sister to have a new mother-in-law?"

"No, why should I be happy? It's not like I have one more child, bah..."

Ye Yaodong looked at his mother's fierce eyes and realized that he almost answered the question wrongly out of instinct. He spat and continued speaking.

"I just find it strange that Uncle Pei didn't say to find one when he was young and then give birth to two more sons, but now he is old enough to find one?"

"Yes, Uncle Pei, why didn't you look for her when he was young, but only come to look for her now when he is old?" Lin Xiuqing also repeated his question.

"Isn't this because you are old? There will always be illnesses. If you don't find a companion to live with and take care of you, what will you do when you are old? Do you still expect your daughter-in-law to take care of you? It's not convenient, and your son may not always be around, so how can he take care of you?"

This was said by Ye's father.

"So you know, Dad, Uncle Pei is really looking for her. How old is the widow? Over 40?"

He looks like he is in his 50s, but women work so hard these days that it is not surprising for a 40-year-old to look like she is in her 50s.

"She's probably over 40. How can I care how old a widow is? People used to get married early anyway, in their teens."

"That's fine. A widow and a widower, they're a perfect match. The two families are next to each other, so there's no need to move."

"You're already worrying about something before we even start writing our names?"

"I'm not just guessing. Tell me. Guang is not here, so I have to help him get more information to prevent him from suffering any loss."

"What's the harm? They are both old and A Guang is married and has children." Ye's father looked indifferent.

Ye's mother disagrees. "It's hard to say. It's not uncommon for people to give birth in their 40s."

"What's the harm to you if someone gives birth to a child in his old age? Guang doesn't have any brothers, so it doesn't matter if he has a few more children."

"What do you know as a grown man? That widow already has several children. If you take over, you have to support a whole family. If you have another child, who will you feed?"

"Women are always short-sighted. Your in-laws' current conditions are no worse than ours. How can they not raise a few children? Can they not have enough to eat? If you give them food now, they can have a few more children to take care of them in their old age."

"You think so well, do you also want to find a widow? And have a few cheap children to take care of you in your old age?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Stop making a fuss and talk about other people properly. Why do you have to drag me into this? Why do you dislike me?"

Seeing that the two old men were about to quarrel again, Lin Xiuqing quickly changed the subject.

"No, mother, why didn't Uncle Pei find someone when he was young?"

"Is he afraid that the stepmother will abuse the child?" Ye Yaodong guessed.

Mother Ye rolled her eyes at him and said pertinently, "Nonsense, it's because no one wants to be with him. What woman would want to marry a grown man with three burdens? Marry a man to get food and clothing. In those days, people didn't have enough to eat and clothes to wear. The whole family was made up of children, and there was only a grown man supporting the family. What good woman would want to marry him and suffer? And become a cheap stepmother? Even if a widow remarries, it depends on whether your family can have enough food to eat."

"Then how do you know Uncle Pei has not yet started?"

"Why ask so many questions?"

"Now that we've come to this point, is there anything wrong with saying it?"

"I just went to Old Pei's house to drink a few times these days. I saw the neighbors delivering food and drinks a few times before I came to my senses. How could I be so embarrassed to ask."

"Uncle Pei is now a golden bachelor. He is rich, not very old, and still single. There should be many widows in the nearby villages who are attracted to him, right?"

Seeing that Ye's father was about to glare at her again, the old lady smiled and continued, "Haha, he is old, and it is really inconvenient for him, a grown man, to be served by his daughter and daughter-in-law. It would be nice for him to find a companion."

"Why worry about it? It's their family affairs. Whether they look for help or not is their business."

"Hey? Are your in-laws looking for one? Our women's director said this afternoon that if your in-laws are looking for one, she can introduce a few widows, younger ones..."

"You just complained about the fact that she's over 40 years old. What if she has a few more children?"

"Ah, yes!"

Mother Ye slapped herself on the forehead and said, "I lost my mind. I was just thinking about pulling strings for others. I was even complaining about it just now."

Father Ye rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't complain about other people's family affairs. It's none of our business. They have their own considerations. How can you interfere with their search for a partner? They are in-laws. How can you not be ashamed?"

Mother Ye muttered, "Hasn't this come to the point? I'm not the one introducing them."

"If they really want to live together, that's the business of the two old people. It has nothing to do with the young people. If they really want to live together, we should be happy for them to have a companion."

Mother Ye pursed her lips and wanted to say something back, but after thinking it over she stopped herself.

After dinner, when the two old people left, the couple sat there watching TV and eating melon seeds, and chatted about this topic again. It was really exciting for them.

"I don't know if Guang knows this, but if there were signs of this a long time ago, he should have known about it a long time ago."

"Of course he knows. He's her biological son, and they live under the same roof. He and the widow are also next-door neighbors. He must know everything. But he probably doesn't want to interfere in his own father's affairs, so he just lets it go." Lin Xiuqing said as she peeled melon seeds for the two children beside her.

"It's good to find a companion, otherwise you'll be lonely when you get old. But I've never heard Huimei talk about it."

"What can she say? He's her father-in-law, how can she tell us? At most, she can say a few words to mom, and it must be up to the old man to think."

After that, she continued, "It's convenient to live next door to each other. There's no need to move. All the widow needs to do is move in. The widow's children don't need to move. They can live like they're in their own home, without having to live in someone else's house."

"You haven't even started yet, and you've already thought so highly of me?"

Lin Xiuqing laughed and hit him, "There's no one else here, right? We just chatted a little and didn't tell anyone else."

"You're talking about this little girl's grandfather!"

Pei Yu looked around in confusion, and when he saw the melon seeds being put into his mouth, he smiled with his eyes curved and opened his mouth to put them in.

"How many teeth does this girl have? Can she still eat melon seeds?"

"Although she is shorter and thinner than your daughter, her teeth grow very fast. She is one and a half years old and has already grown 12 teeth. Although her big teeth haven't grown yet, she can still bite small melon seeds."

"Emi will give birth in about two months. If you have anything to give her, prepare it in advance."

"Well, I know. Your daughter's clothes at that time have already been given to Xiaoyu to wear. I will find time later to go to town to buy two pieces of cotton fabric and make two new sets of clothes for her."

"My little wife seems to be giving birth soon too. Have you seen anyone come to check on her recently?"

"I've heard from my mother that when people come, they greet them with a smile and invite them to have a meal first. There's a pot set up in the courtyard of the village committee..."

"Then you have to come here every day?"

"Ahem, they come here quite often, but they don't patrol the village much. They just walk around occasionally. When they come out after eating and drinking, everyone has heard the news in advance, and those who know of ghosts have hidden themselves in advance, but no one has been caught."

"That's good. If I had been so smart before, I wouldn't have to hide away."

"It's better to hide away to be safe. Who knows when he might act out of the ordinary."

The couple chatted while watching TV.

 I will add another chapter tomorrow night and write more.
