I became beautiful by eating melons

Ye Rou returned to the Liang family with a cold face. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Ji Yan sitting on the sofa with several beautifully wrapped gift boxes stacked beside her.

She was in a bad mood and did not go to anger Ji Yan. She ignored her and went straight upstairs.

Ji Yan looked at her strangely and didn't speak to Ye Rou.

This little bitch is rarely honest, so it’s better not to provoke her.

Jiang Chen has been leaving early and coming back late these days, and he no longer has dinner with the Liang family.

Ye Rou was in a bad mood and didn't eat.

Ji Yan glanced at Liang Yushan, who had lost a lot of weight. She wanted to show concern but couldn't find a chance to talk.

She has a proud personality and won't bow down to anyone.

Liang Yushan only ate a few bites and looked at Ye Rou's position frequently. It seemed that he could not sit still any longer, so he got up and went to Ye Rou's bedroom.

Seeing that he was only thinking about Ye Rou and not paying attention to anyone else, Ji Yan was furious and stopped caring about him.

After being taught a lesson by Ji Yan, Liang An Ning no longer wore heavy makeup, but her attitude towards Ji Yan also became colder, even colder than her dull face.

She ate a few bites in a hurry and was about to leave.

Ji Yan called her, "An Ning, Mom bought you a gift, do you want to see it?"

Liang An Ning didn't look back, and said calmly: "No need."

Ji Yan was unwilling to give up and continued, "An Ning, you haven't chatted with your mother for a long time."

Liang An Ning responded calmly, "Some other time."

After she finished speaking, she walked upstairs and quickly entered the house.

The door slammed shut, blocking Ji Yan's sight and also cutting off her close relationship with her daughter.

In the huge villa, everyone hid in their rooms, tightly closing the door to Ji Yan's understanding of their hearts.

This is true for Liang Anning and Liang Yushan.

She raised her head and looked at the crystal chandeliers that were crowded together and still cold. She felt that home was not like home. It was colder than hell.

The deathly silence enveloped her. Ji Yan shivered with cold, hugged her arms, and could no longer stay there, so she also hid in the house.

-

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Xiao Rou, can I come in?"

Ever since Ye Rou and Liang Yushan talked it out, Liang Yushan finally stopped considering himself as "Ye Rou's father".

Ye Rou opened the door and welcomed Liang Yushan in.

Liang Yushan has lost weight again. He looks like a sponge that has been soaked with water and then wrung out bit by bit. He is abnormally dry and thin.

He faced Ye Rou and gave a cautious smile.

"Why don't you go downstairs to eat? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Ye Rou was not in the mood to chat with him. Seeing that he was fine, she wanted to ask him to leave, but just as she was about to move, she suddenly paused.

Liang Yushan just saw that Ye Rou didn't come downstairs to ask a question, and he was relieved to see that she was fine. Just as he got up to leave, Ye Rou suddenly called him.

"My grandpa, how did he die?" Ye Rou was somewhat uncomfortable with this title.

Liang Yushan's tone was filled with self-blame and regret:

"Actually, this is my fault."

Back then he made a name for himself in the army and was successfully promoted. He returned home with military medals, which was a great event that brought honor to the family at that time.

His father was particularly happy and had a few more drinks with Liang Yushan in the evening.

His father was a night soil collector. The manure pit at home was dug particularly deep, and the toilet was also simple, with just a straw mat to cover it, and two wooden boards for people to squat on top of the pit.

One night, his father was drunk and went to the toilet. He missed a step and fell into the pit and drowned.

Liang Yushan drank a little too much that night and slept so soundly that he didn't hear any noise until he rushed to the toilet the next morning and found his father's body.

Ye Rou opened her mouth wide and repeated in disbelief, "Fell into the pit and drowned?"

Liang Yushan nodded awkwardly, "This is not a good way to die. People say that he accidentally ingested pesticides while working in the fields and died of poisoning."

Ye Rou still found it hard to believe.

A night soil collector who had been collecting night soil for years fell into a manure pit and drowned?

I always feel like something is weird.

Liang Yushan always felt that it was a bit vulgar to talk about these things with his beautiful daughter, so he couldn't sit still and wanted to leave.

Ye Rou refused to give up and asked again:

"Then how did grandpa and grandma know each other?"

She changed the topic a little quickly, but Liang Yushan didn't find it strange.

Because Liang Yushan knew that Xiaorou was investigating Lily's affair, although he did not support her, he did not hide it.

"Your grandmother had a hard life. Her family valued boys over girls. There was a famine that year, and there was no food to feed the children. As the eldest daughter, your grandmother was driven out of the house. It was on the way to escape the famine that she met your grandfather. The two of them supported each other and came all the way to Beijing."

Ye Rou frowned slightly.

Favoring boys over girls and driving the girl away?

Isn't this right?

In the eyes of parents who favor sons over daughters, daughters are not living people, but objects that can be exchanged for dowries and traded, and are human ladders for their sons to step on.

Would a family that favors boys over girls be willing to drive away the daughter they raised instead of marrying her off in exchange for food?

You have to know that in the famine years, a girl could be exchanged for ten kilograms of millet. This immoral transaction was something she had heard actually happened when she was in Dahe Village.

And this kind of thing is not an isolated case. In Dahe Village alone, many aunts were "exchanged" by their natal family to their husband's family in this way.

Ye Rou asked: "Has grandma never come home to visit us in these years?"

"What are you going to do in such a vicious family?"

Liang Yushan had heard his mother mention it, but neither his father nor he agreed, so he stopped his mother.

Liang Yushan only knew a vague idea about his parents' affairs, and Ye Rou stopped asking when she realized she couldn't get any more information out of him.

He walked out of the house and closed the door carefully. When he turned around, he was faced with an old and wrinkled face!

Liang Yushan was startled, and after he came to his senses, he realized that it was his mother.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Tian Zihui glanced at the closed door and dragged him away.
