"You! You!" Chu's father was extremely angry, and Chu's mother on the side quickly responded to him. Chu Guangyao stood a few steps away from the two of them, with his head lowered and his expression unclear.
Chu's father waved his finger and rushed towards Chu Ye, "Is this how you watch others scold your father? You are an unfilial daughter!"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. What did I say to you?" Mingzhu immediately hit back. She wanted to get closer to the fence, but Chu Ye reached out and took her behind him.
Chu Ye looked calm, turned his head and said, "Mingzhu, I still have classes in Class 2. You go and talk to Teacher Wang and ask her to take one class for me."
Mingzhu frowned, knowing that this was a way to put herself away tactfully.
She stared at the door, then put on a worried look, "Okay, if you are bullied, just call me and I will help you vent your anger."
A very shallow smile appeared on Chu Ye's lips. She should have a very beautiful and touching face, but her eyes were full of sadness, which made people feel panicked for no reason.
Mingzhu pulled her palm uneasily, and Chuye patted her shoulder to indicate that she was fine.
The director came over at this moment, "Teacher Chu, what's going on?"
"She, Chu Ye, doesn't support her parents. Is this how your school manages teachers?" Chu's father saw from a distance a man dressed like a leader approaching Chu Ye, and he quickly spoke out to attract attention.
This sentence was so shocking that everyone who was originally away from the school gate stopped again, wanting to eavesdrop on something more valuable.
The school leader's eyes gleamed, his face darkened, and he quickly urged the teachers and students on campus to go back to the teaching building and stop joining in the fun here!
And here, the director frowned and walked towards the door after hearing this, Chu Ye followed him. Considering that Chu's father was emotionally unstable now, the director brought people into the office and comforted him nicely.
"Listen to what I just said, are you two the parents of Teacher Chu? I am the dean of the school and her leader. I want to know what is going on today?" The director said in a gentle tone and pulled the person to the seat. He also poured two glasses of water to calm their emotions.
Behind them was Chu Guangyao, who lowered his head and remained silent, like a ghost.
Father Chu took the tea and took a big sip. He first glared at Chu Ye, who was standing next to the director, and then shouted loudly, full of grievances, "Good leader, if you were her director, then you would have to judge us. ”
"This girl was raised by us with no shortage of food and clothing. Now that she has graduated from school and has a proper job, she begins to dislike us. Ask her, how many years has it been since she came home to see us!"
After hearing this, the director silently looked away and looked at Chu Ye. However, seeing Chu Ye's tall and upright posture, he did not feel guilty at all, nor did he have the slightest intention to defend himself.
"This..." The director is partial to Chu Ye in his heart. Over the past two years of getting along with him, he has watched Chu Ye grow up step by step. He also knows that Chu Ye is not the kind of person who cares about everything. Even many teachers in the school , everyone is full of praise when talking about Chu Ye.
He didn't believe that Chu Ye would do such a thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there were clues to it.
"Okay, I understand. Let the old couple calm down. Teacher Chu has devoted himself to work in the past two years and achieved good results for our school. However, this young man may have neglected his family while working hard for his career. This is also her fault. It's not right, but as parents, don't we also hope that our children can make a difference?" The director tried his best to speak nicely.
Father Chu nodded and smiled silently. He had been a farmer all his life, and what he was worst at was dealing with these scholars and officials. Their great truths came one after another, which was very overwhelming.
He gently touched Chu's mother on the side.
Chu's mother, who had her head lowered, looked over with bewilderment and pity in her eyes.
"Si Ya, my parents miss you too much."
She looked at the director beside her and continued speaking.
"We know that we didn't do it well, but you can't really bear grudges against your parents." Chu's mother said, her eyes became hot and she almost shed tears.
The words Si Ya said when she left home really pierced her heart.
I wonder what parent in the world doesn’t want their children to live well?
After Chu Ye left home, she also thought that maybe the world was really different, and their method of forcing their daughter to go on a blind date was no longer practical.
In these years, Chu Ye didn't even come back for the New Year. She really felt distressed. Gradually, she figured it out. If it didn't work out, she would just follow Chu Ye's wishes and stop forcing her to see people.
So today, she came to look for Chu Ye sincerely.
Chu's mother's sobs rang out in the quiet office, and the director hurriedly found a tissue and handed it to Chu Ye in embarrassment.
Chu Ye took it, looked at the meaning in the director's eyes, and nodded silently.
She handed the tissue to Chu's mother and apologized to the director, saying that she wanted to deal with the trouble she had brought to the school herself.
At the door, the director sighed softly and patted Chu Ye on the shoulder, "Young people still have to balance family and work. You handle this matter well. There was quite a big fuss this morning. I guess some leaders will ask you for questions. .”
Chu Ye nodded, and after sending the director away, she returned to the office.
At this time, there were only four of them in this small room. Father Chu's face sank, and he showed his dignity at home again, "Okay, you are such an adult and you still have a temper with your family."
Chu's mother wiped her tears with a tissue, but her eyes were still a little red. She stood up and wanted to hold Chu Ye's hand, but she dodged it.
"Are you still weirding me out?" Mother Chu's eyes became wet again.
Chu Guangyao, who was sitting beside him, raised his head at some point and stared at the three of them intently.
"If you hadn't gone home every day, would we have come so far to find you? You don't even know what the people in the village said about you." Chu's father frowned, not mentioning the reason why Chu Ye left home in the first place.
"You see, since you haven't come back these years, you have become estranged from your parents and your brother. By the way, you are so old, do you have someone to talk to?"
Chu Ye didn't speak.
Chu's father acquiesced and continued, "As you said, you didn't let us arrange a blind date, you didn't even talk about it yourself, and you didn't come home every day. How could you not let your parents worry?"
"Okay, stop crying." Chu's mother's soft sobs made him upset. When he finished speaking, Chu's mother quickly covered her mouth with a tissue.
"Your brother has grown up and now has a partner. We plan to take care of his lifelong affairs at the end of the year. But before that, we have to worry about your affairs."
Father Chu said this for a reason. According to the old custom in the village, the younger person in the family cannot get married first, otherwise it will affect the younger person's marriage and damage his good luck.
Chu Ye's face was expressionless and he didn't speak.
Father Chu looked at her, and unknown anger arose in his heart. Thinking about what he was going to say next, he suppressed his anger and continued to speak, "You are still at the right age now, and you have no one to date. If you don't find your husband's family in the future, It’s hard to find her. Please take a few days off from school and come back with us, and I’ll let the matchmaker take a closer look.”
"Yes, Si Ya, mother won't lock you in the house this time. Are you obedient and come back with us?" With that said, Chu's mother wanted to come up and pull Chu Ye, but she dodged again.
She stood aside coldly, her eyes shifting from Chu's mother's face to Chu's father's face, and finally her eyes intersected with Chu Guangyao's.
Chu Guangyao lowered his head in embarrassment.
All this now is exactly the same as what Chu Guangyao wrote to himself.
I still remember that when I read the letter he sent me, I felt only sadness in my heart.
At that time, Chu's father sent letters to the school one after another, but did not receive a single response. He was already impatient. It also happened to be the Chinese New Year, and Chu Ye did not go home as in previous years. At that time, he decided to come to the school in person to look for it. Chu Ye.
The first is because she ran away from home and did not care about her parents. The second is that she has already reached the age of marriage and they still want to arrange a blind date for her. The third is because they have planned for Chu Guangyao to let these sisters. They provided money and effort for his life-long events.
Chu Guangyao wrote all of this in the letter. He was unable to stop his parents from looking for him, so he had to write a letter in advance to inform him, hoping that Chu Ye could avoid the limelight or be prepared to deal with it in advance.
Chu Ye took out two pieces of white paper from his pocket and placed them on the table.
"I will not go back with you, nor will I follow your arrangements for a blind date. I hope you will not interfere with my affairs in the future." Her tone was very cold.
It was precisely because of this indifferent attitude that he completely angered Chu's father. He slapped the table and stood up, "You rebellious girl! What a rebellion! Why are you talking to your parents!"
"You have to go back to this house today, whether you want to or not! Don't think that I can't touch you once you become a teacher. You will be the daughter of my Chu family for the rest of your life! As long as you are in the Chu family, you must obey your father. Mother’s words!”
Father Chu rarely lost his temper like he did today, and Chu's mother was so frightened that she did not dare to step forward. Instead, Chu Guangyao stood up and stopped in front of Father Chu.
"In this case, then I will no longer be a member of the Chu family." Chu Ye was unmoved. She handed the two pieces of paper forward despite Chu's father's cannibalistic gaze.
"This is a letter of severance of parent-child relationship. As long as you two sign it, you will not be able to interfere in anything I do in the future. As compensation, I can take care of all Chu Guangyao's bride price."
"Impossible!" After Chu Ye said it, Chu's father subconsciously objected. Chu's mother raised her head in shock and forgot to shed tears.
Chu Guangyao, on the other hand, stopped Chu's father and lowered his head with a rather uncomfortable expression, not daring to look at Chu Ye.
"If you don't agree, not only will I not go back with you, I will also not help Chu Guangyao in the future, let alone go back to see you." Chu Ye shrugged, not caring.
Father Chu wanted to get angry again, but Chu Guangyao stopped him urgently, "Dad! Dad, don't be impatient. Just listen to me."
He winked at Chu Ye and asked Chu Ye to go out first. When the door closed, Chu Guangyao spoke again, "Dad, you are confused. If you think about it carefully, this matter is all good for us."
"Think about it, my sister only cares about breaking off the relationship and can't think of anything else, but we can think of it. If you two sign it, our family will have a lot of money, and we will no longer have to worry about the gift money. Besides, , can the fourth sister really break off the relationship when she says she is in this school? Why don’t we just sign this so that she can feel at ease now and come back to her when we miss her? .”
