Arc 1.58: To Be Loved All The Time

—

After Ye Chen returned from the hospital, he kept shutting himself in the room without eating, drinking, or sleeping, whole person become haggard.
No matter how Su Ping and Ye Jianxian knocked on the door, he refused to open.
They were worried that Ye Chen would starved himself to death in the room, so they could only knock the door open.

“Ye Chen, Ye Chen, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare your mother ah.” Su Ping looked at Ye Chen with tears.

“I’m ruined, I’m ruined in this lifetime…” Ye Chen said feebly, “Why am I so unlucky? Why should I agreed to marry Du Hao, why should I come to this world1 Raw context is “为什么我要来带这个世界” Why should I bring this/the world.
I guess this is typo for “为什么我要来到这个世界” I guess it might be 到 instead of 带?”

“Ye Chen, listen to your mother telling you, if you don’t want to live with Du Hao, after a while, dad and mom will definitely find a way to have you and Du Hao divorce, and there’s still your grandfather ne.
You’re still young, we wouldn’t watch you suffer with Du Hao all your life.”

“With the Du family and the Sun family, how could I be divorced from Du Hao?” Ye Chen’s eyes were full of despair.

“The Du family and Sun family are fighting fiercely.
Your grandfather said that Sun family’s damage of influence has already appeared, and most likely they can’t beat the Du family.
When the Du family defeated the Sun family, the Sun family will not be able to control our family.
It’s much easier to talk to Du family’s people than to the Sun family.
When the time comes, dad and mom will go personally to beg their Old Madam, and their family will definitely agree to let you divorce Du Hao.”

“The Sun family is going to be destroyed by the Du family? Really?” Ye Chen’s eyes showed a glimmer of hope.

“It’s true, can mom still lying to you?” Su Ping turned around and took a small bowl from the helper and said to Ye Chen: “You haven’t eaten anything for two or three days, and your face is disfigured2 Raw context is 脸都脱像了; Face is disfigured.
According to baidu, it’s actually 脱相 instead of 脱像.
脱相 means that the appearance is distorted.
To describes a person’s appearance has changed after a major event. already.
Hurry up and drink this bowl of rice soup.
Don’t worry, with dad, mom and grandfather here, we won’t not care about you.
If worst come to worst, dad and mom will support you for the rest of your life.”

Only then Ye Chen sat up with the help of the helper, then leaned on the head of the bed, sipping the rice soup that Su Ping had fed him bit by bit.

    …………………………

The Sun family was completely uprooted, Old Master Sun was placed under house arrest covertly, his eldest son went to jail, and the other sons were all removed from their posts and temporarily detained awaiting trial.
As the saying goes, when the tree topples, the monkey scattered3Raw 树倒猢狲散(Shù dǎo húsūn sàn); idioms.
fig.
an opportunist abandons an unfavorable cause.
Or, Rats leave a sinking ship., the wall about to collapse and everyone give a shove.
There were many people were implicated by the Sun family, but more people were in a hurry to step on the Sun family.

Elder Ye was also unavoidable to be implicated, he was demoted to a lower rank.
He doesn’t even have the qualifications to live in the family area of the military district.
The whole family can only moved out of the family area.

After Old Master Ye was demoted, Ye Jianxian’s job was immediately dismissed by others.
He had no other skills and abilities, so he could only do simple clerical work.
Ye Hong couldn’t even be count on, he only know how eat, drink and have fun, their family now can only rely on their savings.

The Ye family lived in a two-story small building with a good surrounding environment.
For the average family, to have such a small western-style building to live in, was already something that they can’t ask for.
But the Ye family who already used to living in the family compound, this was like falling from the sky to the ground overnight.

In order to make Ye Chen divorcing Du Hao more smoothly, Su Ping had only hoped that the Sun family would fall, but she did not expect that their family would be affected so much when the Sun family fell.

Su Ping now felt aggrieved in her heart living in this house.
Those friends who used to be in frequent contact with them were now shunned their whole family.
The feeling of falling heavily to the ground makes her felt some kind of pain that was unable to vent.

When the family sat down to eat, all of them ate silently at first.
Ye Hong couldn’t help it anymore and complained: “In the past, there were at least a dozen or twenty dishes for a meal.
Now only these four or five dishes and they are still so unpalatable.
Mom, even if you dismiss most of the helpers, at least keep the previous chef.
How can people eat this dish?”

“You said this so effortlessly.
The previous chef’s monthly salary was four or five times of your dad’s current salary.
Can our family afford it? Besides, how it is not delicious.
There are fish and meat.
If you don’t save a bit, you won’t even be able to eat these dishes in the future.”

Ye Hong carefully glanced at the face of Elder Ye and said: “Previously, I drove past uncle’s house once.
It was very impressive from the outside.
In order to see how big their house was, I drove and circled around, and it is several times larger than ours in the family compound.
If I have to say, uncle is the eldest son, and the obligation to support grandfather is much greater than that of my dad.”

Elder Ye slapped his chopsticks on the table, glaring at Ye Hong and said, “You still want to drive me, this old man, out of the house?!”

“I… I didn’t, I didn’t mean that, Grandpa.” Ye Hong was taken aback, and he quickly explained: “What I mean is that it is only natural for a son to be filial to his father.
Uncle’s family has such a huge family property, yet they don’t care about you.
This is a big unfilial matter.
Many people are saying that uncle is now the richest man in our country.
Just flows from their family’s fingers4Raw context 那光是从他们一家手指缝里流出来的, I guess YH means that YY’s parent so rich that a little bit of their wealth that slip trough their fingers is enough for them(YC’s family) to have a better life than before.
it is enough for us to have a better days than before.
And I also heard that uncle still has friendship with many high-ranking officials.
Maybe he can help my dad and me arrange a better job.”

Su Ping immediately became very jealous after hearing what Ye Hong said.
She also looked expectantly at Elder Ye and said: “Dad, look at our current situation, it’s really not as good as before.
It has been so many years, and big brother’s whole family has never honored you, it’s also their turn to fulfill their filial piety.”

“I can support myself!” Elder Ye yelled, “If you feel that living with me is suffering, then you can move out and live your own lives, so you don’t have to be an irksome presence in front of me! One by one! It’s all useless things!”

Elder Ye stood up and turned to go back to the room with a stomach of anger.

“Dad, we didn’t mean that.
Don’t be angry.” Su Ping stood up and said while looking at the back of Elder Ye.

After Elder Ye left, Su Ping sat down again and looked at Ye Jianxian and said, “Go and tell your father.
Big brother and his family are so rich now.
Shouldn’t it be right to show father filial respect? The most important thing is, they can arrange a good job for you and Ye Hong.”

“What’s there to talk about!” Ye Jianxian glared at Su Ping and said, “Dad had publicly severed ties with eldest brother before,  how do you want Dad to ask him? Dad is feeling uncomfortable now.
You are all better not making him angry, or he will really drive us all out.”

Su Ping put down her chopsticks, sighed and said, “I always thought that I had better fate than Xu Yun.
Although we are both zhou li(wives of brothers), no matter what I’m an official wife, and she is just a business woman.
It’s true the wheels of fortune will reverse, the pendulum has swung back.
She is now a rich madam who can get what she wants, how many people are eager to flatter her.
I am not even an official wife now, those previous good sisters and good friends, has avoid me.
Alas~ this fate of mine, how come it’s drastically changed when I’m in my middle age?”

Ye Jianxian put the bowl heavily on the table, looked at Su Ping and said, “You are complaining that I have no ability, right? People outside think that I have no ability and look down on me, even you guys think I have no ability, and now you look down on this house, isn’t it? Well, divorce then, everyone will live their own lives!”

Su Ping’s face changed and said, “What are you talking about? I’m just complaining and you are going to divorce me? This family is not as good as before and I still can’t say a few words? When you used to be an official, you never talk to me like that.
Now you’re just a small clerk, and actually asked me for a divorce?! You dislike my age, deliberately find faults and want to drive me away, right?! In any case,  I gave birth to two children for you and you are being so cruel like this? Okay! Let’s divorce then, will I still not be able to live without you?”

Ye Jianxian was severely hurt by the words of the little clerk.
He was ridiculed by people these days and originally was angry in his heart.
Now Su Ping said that, the anger in his heart can’t be suppressed.
He stood up and slapped the table hard, he said: “Then let’s divorce.
I will write the divorce agreement now.
Tomorrow we will go to the marriage management office.
Whoever don’t want to divorced is the bastard!”

“You, you…” Su Ping burst into tears with anger, she turned and ran back to the room to cry.

When Ye Jianxian and Su Ping were gone, Ye Hong was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Ye Chen with dull eyes and said, “Ye Chen, didn’t you have a good relationship with Ye You before? Can you go and tell him, to let me drive his car for a few days?”

Ye Chen glanced at Ye Hong blankly, then stood up, and walked back to the room feebly.
He had always thought Ye Hong was short-sighted, but now it seemed that Ye Hong was simply a heartless fool.

Ye Jianxian and Su Ping have reached the point of getting divorced.
Ye Chen has no thought and energy to persuade them.
He has been hesitating whether to go to the hospital to see Du Hao.
Although he doesn’t actually love Du Hao in his heart, but they were husband and wife, he should go to see him out of situation5Raw 情(qíng); feeling; emotion; passion; situation.  Since YC doesn’t actually love DH, I guess situation is more appropriate than the other three above and reason, but in his heart, he was particularly afraid to see Du Hao.

    ……………………

Now that the Sun family has collapsed, naturally they can’t take care of Du Hao, but the Du family will definitely going to take care of him.
The Old Madam also went to see Du Hao several times in person, comforting him and have him recovered from injuries, and when he got better, they would take him home.

However, the Old Madam’s comfort and persuasion could not surpassed Sun Ting’s crying and complaining in front of Du Hao every day.
Sun Ting complained that Du family had harmed the Sun family, complained that Du Zhenfeng was cruel and really divorced her, and complained that Ye Chen didn’t even show up to take a look at Du Hao.

Du Hao had also been waiting for Ye Chen to see him, but after more than two months, he never show up.
And because his mother was crying and complaining every day, his originally desperate heart had no desire to live anymore.
Hence, in the silent night, he committed suicide.

There were originally two nurses who had been guarding him, but he asked Sun Ting to go to the bank and fetched him a wooden box that he had stored in the bank’s safe deposit box.
Sun Ting did what he said.
After Du Hao got the wooden box, he opened it and took a look, and then gave all the contents of the wooden box to Sun Ting, told her that she must keep it safe.

Sun Ting opened the wooden box and looked at the gold bars and jewelry in it.
She still told Du Hao that she was not short of money.
Although Du Zhenfeng had divorced her, her dowry was enough for her to live without worry for a lifetime.
The most important thing now was that he can quickly get better, and then when he was taken back to Du family’s house, let Elder Du, Old Madam and his dad to agreed to let her go back to Du family’s house together.

Then in the evening, Du Hao took poison and committed suicide.
By the time the nurse found out, it was too late.

After Sun Ting hurried over to come and see Du Hao’s body, she went crazy.

The Du family endured the pain, finished Du Hao’s funeral, and then sent Sun Ting to the mental asylum.

After learning about Du Hao’s suicide, Ye Chen fainted again.
He had already made up his mind to visit Du Hao in the past two days, but he was still one step late.

After Ye Chen woke up, Su Ping comforted him so that he didn’t have to be too sad.
Once Du Hao died, he was completely liberated, and he didn’t even need to divorce.
As soon as Su Ping finished speaking, the helper rushed into Ye Chen’s room and told Su Ping that Ye Hong was in a car accident and now he was in the hospital.

Su Ping slumped on the ground as her legs softened, and then got up with all her strength, and ran out in a panic.

    …………………………

Ten years later.

It was another Spring Festival, and the Du family now has children running all over the floor.
Du Yao’s uncle6Raw 小叔; uncle, his father’s younger brother had already been transferred back a few years ago, and his uncle’s two sons were already married and had children.
Du family has newly added a lot of people, and it was getting more and more lively every year.

Ye You was pregnant again, and he was now pregnant with his fifth child with Du Yao.
Originally, after the birth of their fourth child, they didn’t plan to have another child.
But for the sake of comfortable, Ye You always pestered Du Yao and not let him withdraw, so he was accidentally pregnant again.

The new year was welcome in lively way.
After watching the fireworks, everyone went back to the room to rest.
After Ye You washed in the bathroom of his room, he went to the children’s room to see if they were sleeping well.

Ye You went to Du Xuan’s room first, and after helping Du Xuan cover the quilt, Ye You stroked Du Xuan’s face and asked, “Why don’t you play with your younger siblings during the day?”

“They are too noisy, I think they are annoying.” Du Xuan’s small face still looked serious.

“It’s the holiday now, it is a time when you can be noisy and playing, if you don’t want to play with them, dad won’t force you, but you are all dad’s children, if you hate them, dad will be sad.” Ye You looked Du Xuan as he said in low voice.

“I don’t hate them.” Du Xuan said immediately: “They are my brothers, so I won’t hate them, but I think they are annoying when they make trouble.
However, although I think they are annoying, but I like them in my heart, because they are also father and dad’s children.”

“Dad won’t force you to play with them, nor will you have to like them, as long as you don’t hate them, it doesn’t matter if you continue to do what you want tomorrow.” Ye You kissed Du Xuan’s forehead: “Because they are young, Dad will pay more attention to them, but in Dad’s heart, you are equally precious, Dad loves you very much.”

“I love you too.” Du Xuan said.

“Sleep ba.” Ye You smiled and helped Du Xuan press the quilt.

After Du Xuan closed his eyes, Ye You got up and walked out, and helped him turn off the lamp, leaving only the bedside lamp on.

Ye You also went to Du Xue’s room.
Du Xue’er was already lying on the bed.
After hearing the sound, she immediately opened her eyes and looked at Ye You with a smile: “Dad.”

“You played all day today, are you tired?” Ye You asked, sitting down by the bed.

“Tired, but very happy.” Du Xue said with a smile.

“When you play with your younger siblings tomorrow, don’t play tricks on them anymore, just have fun, and just tell them what you want them to do, okay?” Ye You looked at her and said, “Because they are younger siblings of family, so uncles and aunts don’t feel angry, but if they are children from other people’s families and their parents know that you tease their children, they will be angry, just like if you are fooled by people, dad and father will also be the same, be very angry.”

“I see.” Du Xue whispered.

“Dad knows that Xiao Xue’er is a particularly kind and good girl.
She has no malice in her heart, just wants to tease her younger brothers and sisters.” Ye You kissed Du Xue on the forehead and said, “You are the most precious little girl of dad and father.
We love you so much.”

“I also love dad, and I also love father, as well as grandpa and grandma, great- grandpa and great-grandma.” Du Xue said with a smile.

“Sleep ba, baby.” Ye You helped Du Xue’er press the quilt.

After leaving Du Xue’s room, Ye You came to Du Chang and Du Zhe’s room again.
The two children were seven years old and five years old.
Ye You asked them to live in the same room to be a company.
When they grow up a bit, only then they will arranged their own rooms.

As soon as Ye You entered, he saw the two brothers leaning together and talking quietly.
After seeing him come in, they smiled and separated and slept on their own bed.

“After playing for a whole day, aren’t you tired? You two little naughty monkeys.” Ye You walked towards them, sat down by the bed and asked: “What are you discussing again?”

“We are guessing whether it’s the younger brother or younger sister in dad’s belly.” Du Zhe said.

“Do you want a younger brother or younger sister?” Ye You asked with a smile.

“I already have elder brothers, elder sisters and younger brothers.
I hope it’s a younger sister.
Chang’er said he hopes it’s a younger brother.
He said that if it is a younger brother, when we all go to school, someone can play with him.” Du Zhe said.

“But when your brother can play with you, you have already gone to school.” Ye You said, touching Du Chang’s face.

“I said so too.” Du Zhe said.

“Dad, give birth to a younger brother.” Du Chang stretched out the quilt and grabbed Ye You’s hand and said, “I want a younger brother.”

“This dad can’t call the shots.
It depends on the baby in the belly.
Whether it wants to be a boy or a girl, maybe he is a little ger?” Ye You said softly, “But whether it’s a younger brother or a sister, dad and father’s love for you will not decrease.
It’s the holiday season now.
You can play happily, but you can’t destroy the things at home, including the flowers and trees in the yard, so that dad can watch the flowers in the yard are all blooming after the snow melts, okay?”

“Okay,” the two brothers replied in unison.

“What a good boy.” Ye You said, “Then can you protect the things at home, as well as the flowers and trees in the yard, and don’t let other brothers and sister destroy them, don’t let them quarrel and fight.
Everyone is good kids who are both smart and sensible, speak well, and they can do it like you do too, okay?”

“Okay.” The brothers replied again.

“Go to sleep now, you will have the strength to play tomorrow when you have enough sleep.” Ye You bent over and kissed each on their foreheads, then got up and left.

After returning to the room, Du Yao had washed and was wiping his hair.
Ye You went to bed and sat on the head of the bed.
He touched his stomach and said, “Xuan’er and Xue’er are only ten years old and people already come to talk about marriage, this is really too much.
Now it’s not what it used to be, still going to settle a marriage for a few years old kids.”

“Isn’t this something our family had expected for a long time?” Du Yao dried his hair, went to bed and put his arms around Ye You and said: “The child was born too outstanding.
There surely will be someone who are eager to come and be betrothed, what’s more with our family’s conditions now, how many people are lining up to want to have a marriage connection with our family.
But what they think is their business, how we arrange it is our business, we can’t control what they think, and they can’t control our arrangement.”

Ye You sighed and said, “Our children are excellent, but they are not letting people be at ease enough.
Xue’er always smiles to everyone.
Every elder who sees her will say that she is well-behaved and innocent child, but she has played tricks on others and others don’t even know.
Let alone children, many adults are not as good as her.
At such a young age, she already tricking people, what about in the future? She must have inherited this habit from you.”

“Isn’t that good? At least we don’t have to worry that she will be bullied by others.
Before sending them to school, didn’t you felt that Xue’er is a girl, she is too beautiful, and worry that she will be bullied? Now it’s already good that she did not bully others.” Du Yao said.

“It’s also not good to bully others, aren’t other people’s children also their parents’ babies?” Ye You sighed again and said, “And Xuan’er, I thought his looks and personality are like you before, but you are also not showing cold face all day long ah.
Now the few kids in the family are scared when they see him.
Even the children at home hide from him, let alone the children outside.
If he doesn’t have a friend, it would be too lonely.
Raising a child is really worrying, there’s also Chang’er and Zhe’er.
As long as you are not at home, they were so naughty without boundaries, they can’t wait to tear down the house everyday.”

“So, didn’t I said already? When I was not at home, let Xuan’er take care of the few little one.
Anyway, the children are afraid of him, but you don’t want to.”

“I don’t want to because Xuan’er is a child himself, he is only ten years old, have him take care of other children, how much stressful he would be in? Moreover, isn’t it because I’m worried the more I let Xuan’er take care of them, the more they will be afraid of Xuan’er? Alas~ When this one in my belly is born, I have to worry about it again.” Ye You pinched Du Yao hard to vent and said, “It’s all your fault, not letting them inherited any good aspect.”

“I have let them inherited the best aspect already.” Du Yao said.

“What is the best aspect you have passed to them?” Ye You asked.

“My appearance, didn’t you said before that it was because you like my face, and then you just slowly fell in love with me?” Du Yao said seriously: “They inherited my appearance, and they will surely seduce a partner that they satisfied with in the future.
You don’t have to worry about them, when they have a partner, let their partner worry about them.”

“You are really shameless.” Ye You pinched Du Yao’s face and said, “Also, what is seducing? It’s so unpleasant to hear.
There is still one in the stomach.
Wait until all of them find their other half, how many years it would be?”

“No matter how many years, the ripe fruit will eventually fall and take root on its own.
Only the two of us will always be closely integrated together.” Du Yao hugged Ye You tightly, pressed him down under his body, and be careful not to press his belly.

“Is it really forever? Always together, never separated?” Ye You asked as he putting his arms around Du Yao’s neck.

“Yes, always together, never separated.” Du Yao kissed Ye You’s lips.

Twenty-year-old Ye You experienced the taste of love after falling in love with Du Yao, and then began a happy life.
Thirty-year-old Ye You, fourty-year-old Ye You… Until the age of 80, they have always been very, very happy.

Even if they had grandchildren and great grandchildren, but in Du Yao’s eyes, Ye You always looked the way he was when he first saw him, and he will always loved him so so much in his heart.

At the moment when his life was about to fade away(die), Ye You was very reluctant.
He was reluctant to part with Du Yao, and was reluctant leave  this feeling of being loved, he wanted to be loved all the time.
