I am not a good person

There were footsteps under the eaves, and then a person fell on the tiles next to him.

Zhao Zenian opened his eyes and sat up in surprise: "You have martial arts?!" He was even more shocked.

Xu Yuan smiled shyly: "I told you today, I have the kung fu to protect myself."

Zhao Zenian frowned: "Then why didn't you rebel against the butler of the Xu family?" It made him think that he was powerless.

"I have my concerns, and I don't like to fight with others." Xu Yuan sat down beside him: "One year when I was weeding there, an injured bodyguard passed out in my vegetable field. Xinshan took him home and took out his only savings to invite a doctor to treat him."

"In order to repay my mother and son for their life-saving grace, especially seeing that our life is difficult, the bodyguard stayed for two more years and taught me all his kung fu, and finally left some silver taels before he left.

I never thought about using kung fu to deal with anyone, even to protect myself, I just like the feeling when I practice kung fu, and I can forget all the unhappiness. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zenian sighed and said, "Since I met you, I have never seen you really happy. You look preoccupied all day long."

Xu Yuan opened his mouth to explain, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth.

Zhao Zenian patted him on the shoulder: "You wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go!" After speaking, he turned and flew down the eaves like a swallow.

Not long after, when Xu Yuan came back with two small wine jars, his face was shining brightly: "Zenian, so your lightness kung fu is so powerful!"

Zhao Zenian smiled without saying a word, patted off the clay seal, and passed one of the jars over.

Xu Yuan smelled the aroma and asked in surprise, "Is this wine?"

"Ah."

Xu Yuan waved his hand: "I don't know how to drink."

Zhao Zenian shook the wine jar, letting the smell of wine waft around, and persuaded him: "You also said today that your mother thinks you are not manly enough. As a man, but you can't drink, if you say it later, it's okay You will be laughed at!"

Xu Yuan was dubious.

Zhao Zenian patted him on the shoulder: "I have more experience than you, and you still don't believe me!"

When Xu Yuan heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then took the wine jar.

"Don't look so sad, try it." Zhao Zenian urged, and took a big gulp for himself first.

Xu Yuan moved the mouth of the altar to his mouth nervously, took a quick sip, and swallowed it without tasting it.But after swallowing it, the original bitter expression also changed: "Hey, it's sweet!"

What a fool!

Zhao Zenian smiled slightly: "Some wines are sweet and refreshing, some wines are spicy and hit the heart, and some wines are as light as water, and after a sip, this place is full." He pointed his finger at his heart.

Xu Yuan agreed very much, so he nodded vigorously: "You are indeed right."

It was the first time to drink alcohol, especially the wine was still sweet. Xu Yuan became addicted, and drank the whole jar of wine without stopping, and finally burped: "It's so refreshing!"

Drinking alcohol can really make people let go, looking at the empty hands, Zhao Zenian was very surprised, just now Xu Yuan actually snatched his wine jar!

He hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "Drink too much, and you will get drunk."

"I'm happy today, just let me drink enough in one go!" Xu Yuan drank it all up again, still ending with a long belch.

Feeling drunk, Xu Yuan laughed nervously: "I haven't felt so comfortable for a long time!"

Zhao Zenian was lying on the roof tiles, using his arms as a pillow, looking at the stars in the sky with a calm expression: "As long as you like it."

"I didn't rebel against the housekeeper of the Xu family today, not only out of respect, but also for the sake of the future." Xu Yuan turned his head: "You guessed right today, I do have some relationship with the Xu family, my mother used to belong to the Xu family The servant girl is still Master Xu's personal servant girl."

Zhao Zenian turned his head slightly to look at him, and listened to his story.The writing on the letter paper is not detailed enough, and it is not as good as telling the cause and effect by myself.

"Born in a poor family, she was sold into Xu's house as a girl since she was a child. Back then, the old lady of the Xu family saw that she was handsome and smart, so she sent her to be next to her only grandson, Xu Shaoliang, as a close maid."

Xu Yuan lowered his head: "Xu Shaoliang, that's my father."

Zhao Zenian let out a flat "oh".

"The two are about the same age, and as they get older, their love has just begun. Although my mother also has feelings for my father, she sticks to her duties as a girl and never crosses the line.

And when the old lady assigned my mother to my father, she already had an idea, planning to let my mother be my father's maid when the age is right, so after learning about my father's thoughts, she agreed . "

Xu Yuan sighed: "In the beginning they were all pure-hearted, they simply liked each other and had no other ideas, but with such a family background as Xu's, how could my father remain so simple?"

Zhao Zenian turned his head and saw a helpless sneer on the corner of Xu Yuan's mouth.

"In my mother's words, when my father grows up, he understands what is responsibility, what is benefit, what is important and what is not important, and soon he is engaged to Miss Yuan's family.

The old lady promised my mother that she would be my aunt in the future. For my mother, this was something that my mother couldn't even imagine, and she felt satisfied all of a sudden. "

Zhao Zenian asked, "And then?"

Xu Yuan closed his eyes, feeling tired: "However, the one who really can't tolerate my mother is the wife who just came in. My mother's existence has affected the relationship between their husband and wife, and affected the interests of the Xu family. The new wife went to the old lady. After filing a complaint, the old lady called my mother over, and kicked her out of the Xu residence after being both soft and hard."

"My mother was waiting for my father to come back at the gate of the mansion, hoping that he could say a word to keep her here. My father finally came back, but he looked extremely indifferent. My mother suddenly realized that she was just a lowly person from the beginning to the end. It’s just my maid.”

Having said that, Xu Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "My mother searched Danxi Town for a few days before she found out that her family had left Danxi Town long ago and disappeared. At this time, she found out that she was pregnant. She was afraid of the new wife, and also afraid that people in the Xu Mansion would force her to abort the child after they found out, or that the child would be snatched away after birth, so she left here."

Zhao Zenian asked, "Did she bring you up alone?"

Xu Yuan nodded, tears flickering: "As far as I can remember, my mother always watered the vegetable field and carried manure, or sewed and mended other people's houses. I followed behind, and the neighbor aunt would occasionally stuff me with peanut candies. Eat. While other children are playing, I can already skillfully clean the house and cook.”

Zhao Zenian came here with malice, but at this moment his heart was a little blocked.

Xu Yuan didn't notice the change in his mood, and continued: "When I heard my playmate call Dad, I knew that my family was abnormal and lacked a man. I went to ask my mother, and she only cried and sighed. What do you think I am?" Dare to ask?"

Zhao Zenian expressed sympathy: "Your mother is really exhausted raising the child by herself!"

"That's not true! During the Chinese New Year, other people's houses are lively and happy. Our family is just me and my mother, wearing patched old clothes, eating two plates of vegetarian dishes on the table, and even firecrackers. I don't have to let it go."

"No wonder?" Zhao Zenian heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Yuan was taken aback for a moment: "What?"

Zhao Zenian looked at the night sky: "You and your mother have lived together for so many years, and you are simple and honest, so even if you don't have enough food and clothing, you won't complain about anything. But people will grow up, and the gap will be large. It becomes more and more obvious that others are better than you in every aspect, and gradually you feel inferior."

Xu Yuan showed that lack of confidence expression again: "Really?"

"Isn't it? Just because you had a bad life before, now that others treat you a little bit better, you will be flattered and grateful, but once something bad happens, you will panic and even deny yourself! "

Zhao Zenian felt a little helpless: "To be honest, this is the first time I have met your personality."

When the words came to his heart, Xu Yuan choked up a bit, and poured out his heart: "That's why I said I envy you. I'm not free, and I can't be chic."

His eyes suddenly filled with tears: "Just two months ago, my mother died of a serious illness. Before she passed away, she told me who my father is."

With the breeze blowing, Zhao Zenian woke up suddenly. He was so fascinated by the story that he almost forgot the purpose of this trip!

He blinked quickly and asked, "Then what should she explain?"

"Yes." Xu Yuan calmed down and let the tears that were about to overflow flow back: "She pity me for being lonely and helpless, and hope that I can come back here to recognize my ancestors."

Zhao Zenian nodded knowingly.

"But you've also seen that I can't even enter the gate of the Xu Mansion, and I can't even see my... father." Xu Yuan smiled bitterly: "I still have hope in my heart, even if the butler of the Xu Mansion treats me like that. , I don’t want to hurt him either.”

"It turns out that you are in a bad mood because of this incident."

The drunkenness became more and more intense, Xu Yuan couldn't hold back and lay down: "What should I do, I can't do what I promised my mother!"

Zhao Zenian sat up with his palms on his hands, and shook his head in disapproval: "That's not necessarily true. Xu Yuan, this is your mother's last wish before she died. Did you give up so easily? She wants you to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors." , and if you choose to give up as soon as you encounter setbacks, I think it will be hard for her to die, right?"

Xu Yuan was shocked all over, and looked over with dull eyes.

Zhao Zenian bent down slightly, held his shoulders firmly, and said loudly, "Trust me, I will help you to the end!"

Xu Yuan opened his mouth stupidly.

Zhao Zenian didn't expect drunk people to respond to what he said, so he straightened up as soon as he finished speaking. It was still a little cold at night, and he was going back to his room to sleep.

"Actually..." Xu Yuan spoke again.

Zhao Zenian had to turn around.

Xu Yuan closed his eyes and murmured: "Before I came to Danxi Town, I had imagined what the Xu Mansion would look like, what my father would look like, and I was full of expectations for life here."
