Five years of marriage, always separated [1970s]

What if it doesn't work? Ye Fan continued: "I haven't finished yet. My parents in the Ye family raised me, and I will serve them when they are old. Xiaohui is the victim, she can do whatever she wants. You gave birth to me, and when you die, I will bury you properly. Don't even think about the rest."

Chen Xiaohui was stunned. She didn't expect Ye Fan to say this in public.

Chen Kuanren was so angry that he felt dizzy and his head was swollen. He shouldn't have listened to Chen Xiaohui. If he accompanied her, the Chen family would not only gain a good relative, but also a good daughter. Because the Ye family were all respectable people with good backgrounds, and Ye Fan was well-educated.

What a good upbringing!
Chen Kuanren stood up angrily: "Let's go!"

Tao Chunlan stood up and stopped him: "Chen——"

"Mom, sit down." Ye Fan interrupted and said deliberately: "Who knows who has accepted the favor to make trouble for us."

Chen Kuanren felt greatly insulted, and pointed at Ye Fan with trembling fingers: "Say it to me again!"

Ye Fan glanced at Chen Xiaohui and saw that she didn't seem to agree with what he said. Ye Fan felt that Chen Xiaohui really didn't know how to exchange maliciously. Ye Fan deliberately said: "How else do you want me to think? Xiaohui wants to go to the countryside, and you don't help her find her biological parents. Are you worried that I will have to go to the countryside when I return to the Chen family, and that I will suffer?"

Chen Kuanren's breathing stagnated, and he nodded, "Yes!"

The Ye family was very surprised. But not Ye Fan. Ye Fan didn't even blink, and while paying attention to Chen Xiaohui's expression, he said, "You dare to swear not to come to me, not because you are afraid that I will die early due to my weak body, but you come to me like today, Xiaohui returned to the Ye family, you lost your daughter?"

Chen Kuanren's body was stiff and Ye Fan's biological mother Zhao Ruping looked embarrassed. It was obvious that Ye Fan had guessed right.

Ye Fan pointed out directly: "So the mistake is just an excuse. You are just afraid that you can't support me, so you just abandon me and take Xiaohui away to raise as your own child?"

Chen Xiaohui shook her head in disbelief and couldn't help but grab the armrests of the chair with both hands.

No, that's not the case!

Chen Xiaohui secretly persuaded herself to calm down, and her thoughts could not help but go back to eight years ago in her previous life——

Yes, Chen Xiaohui was reborn and she has memories of her past life.

In the autumn of 1966, the college entrance examination was suspended. The street office advised Chen Xiaohui to go to the countryside, but Chen Xiaohui hoped to wait. After finally delaying until the New Year, the school situation did not improve but became more chaotic. Chen Xiaohui came back from school and met the street office staff, who again advised Chen Xiaohui to go to the countryside. Chen Xiaohui did not want to go to the countryside. She could not sleep at night and wanted to talk to her mother. She heard her parents say, "If we had known that we could not keep Xiaohui, we might as well raise her own."

Chen Xiaohui pushed the door and turned on the light before they could finish their conversation, asking what they meant. Chen Kuanren explained that he realized he had made a mistake after he took the child home. He went to look for the family but couldn't find them. He only knew that the family's name was Tao Chunlan. He was busy with work, and he thought that the child was young, so he would be closer to whoever raised him, so he raised him as his own.

Chen Xiaohui asked Chen Kuanren how many children there were in his family. If there were no children, she wouldn't have to go to the countryside. Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping thought that Chen Xiaohui had never done farm work and might die in the countryside if she couldn't hold on. If she returned to the Ye family, even if Chen Xiaohui changed her name to "Uncle Chen, Aunt Zhao", they could still be relatives in the future.

Chen Xiaohui always thought that her adoptive parents loved them and were reluctant to let her suffer, so they agreed to let her return to the Ye family. After all, she was raised by them.

In her previous life, she got her wish and went back, and Ye Fan had to go to the countryside. The Ye family didn't say anything, but they resented her in their hearts. In her previous life, as soon as Ye Fan returned to Shencheng this year, the Ye family received news that they would introduce her to a partner and marry her back to the capital.

After the college entrance examination was resumed, Ye's brother and sister-in-law found a teacher to tutor Ye Fan. After graduating from college, Ye Fan went to a state-owned enterprise. That state-owned enterprise later became the leader in the industry, and Ye Fan became the helmsman. Chen Xiaohui got married and had children early, and had no time to review for the college entrance examination due to her family, so she was almost laid off after the reform and opening up.

Many people told her to apologize to her parents. Chen Xiaohui believed that she could make a name for herself on her own, but because of her limited experience and seldom communicating with her family, she missed many opportunities to make money. Later, because of the hard work and poor nutrition, she fell ill, and Ye Fan still paid for her medical expenses.

Chen Xiaohui still feels aggrieved when she thinks about this incident.

In this life, the streets are still very busy. Chen Xiaohui can't sleep well all night. The morning before she heard her parents' conversation in her previous life, she woke up and recalled the past - Chen Xiaohui decided to go to the countryside. Ye Fan could stay in the countryside for seven years, so could she. In the previous life, the Ye family felt sorry for Ye Fan's suffering in the countryside, and resources were inclined towards Ye Fan. If she learned from Ye Fan in this life, the Ye family would definitely feel sorry for her.

If what Ye Fan said was true, then in her previous life she had lived frugally and was filial to Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping... Chen Xiaohui was so angry that her eyes went dark and she fell backwards.

"Chen Xiaohui?"

Chen Xiaohui was in a trance when she saw Ye Fan rushing towards her.

When she opened her eyes again, Chen Xiaohui arrived at the hospital, where Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping were guarding her.

Ye Fan opened the door: "Are you awake?"

Zhao Ruping was very surprised: "You didn't leave?"

Chen Kuanren thought of what happened before and became furious: "Xiaohui was almost pissed off by you, and you still dare to come?"

Ye Fan didn’t want to make a scene in the ward: “I asked you to swear, but I didn’t ask Xiao Hui to swear. You weren’t mad at me, so why is she mad? Chen Kuanren——”

"I am your father!"

Ye Fan: "Is there any evidence?"

Chen Kuanren was like a punctured balloon, suddenly deflated. When he wanted to yell at Ye Fan again, he met Ye Fan's eyes that seemed to see through everything, opened his mouth, and said, "--You are not welcome here!"

Ye Fan: "I'm not here to see you. I'm here to visit Xiaohui for the sake of my adoptive parents. Xiaohui, you are the daughter of the Ye family. You can come back whenever you want. Don't worry about what I think." He looked at Chen Kuanren and then at Zhao Ruping. "I'll say it again. I don't care about the Chen family's affairs. It has nothing to do with me. The hospitalization fee has been paid. Chen Xiaohui, Comrade Tao Chunlan can accompany you to Shanghai to transfer the ownership at any time."

Chen Xiaohui subconsciously looked at her adoptive parents, and seeing that they were both filled with anger, she couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the vicious couple had abused Chen Xiaohui? Seeing that the Ye family had worked so hard to raise her, and Chen Xiaohui was her mother's biological daughter, Ye Fan decided to help her: "Chen Xiaohui, you can call the police for what the couple did. If you don't want to go, I'll go--"

"No!" Chen Xiaohui blurted out.

Ye Fan paused for a moment, not understanding what she was thinking. "Then tell me when you've made up your mind!" Then he turned and left.

Chen Xiaohui subconsciously shouted: "Wait——"

Ye Fan stopped, turned around and asked, "You want me to go for you again?"

"No!" Then what else? Ye Fan remembered something and asked, "Want to ask why the Ye family didn't come? The eldest brother drove you here. I asked him to go back and tell mom and dad that you were fine, so they wouldn't worry. I didn't ask mom and dad to come, so blame me. But I still want to say that they are all decent people, and they are against the despicable people who stole the child-"

Chen Kuanren jumped up in anger: "Who are you calling mean?"

"I'm talking to you!" Ye Fan glared at him. "They raised your children, and you raised theirs. The two families don't owe each other any debts, and there's no need to have any contact in the future. Tell me when you die. I've said this before. But, Xiaohui, I still want to remind you that the Chen family is sorry for you, and you don't have to feel psychologically burdened." Pointing to the fruits and snacks placed beside her bed, "I bought them for you." After that, he opened the door and went out again.

Chen Kuanren cursed a few times and pointed at Chen Xiaohui and said, "I was right. The Ye family has such good conditions that she can't go back with us." He pointed at Zhao Ruping and said, "You said that after all, she is your daughter and will definitely be filial to you. Is she really that filial?"

The door of the ward was suddenly opened, and Ye Fan came back again. Chen Kuanren suddenly felt as if someone was grabbing his neck, and his face turned red.

Ye Fan leaned against the door frame and nodded his chin towards Zhao Ruping. "I heard you have a pension. I suggest you get a divorce. Your salary will be your own, and you don't have to serve this mean old man!"

"Fuck you! You're trying to sow discord--" Chen Kuanren was so angry that he raised his hand and rushed forward. Ye Fan dodged and closed the door. With a bang, Chen Kuanren hit the door. Chen Xiaohui was startled. Zhao Ruping screamed and ran over to ask him if he was hurt anywhere.

Chen Kuanren rubbed his hands and then his face, breathing in pain: "Get Xiaohui discharged from the hospital, we're leaving now, back to Shencheng immediately!"

Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but ask: "I'm going back too?"

"You still want to stay here?" Chen Kuanren couldn't believe it. "Are you not afraid that Ye Fan will bully you to death? She is just like the children of those high-ranking officials in Shencheng, arrogant and domineering!"

Zhao Ruping nodded: "Xiaohui, your father is right. I have finally seen through Ye Fan. She has really been spoiled by the Ye family. Besides, she is already married. If she doesn't want to go back, we really can't do anything to her. Just because she didn't ask the Ye family to come and see you, the Ye family didn't even dare to show their heads, which means that the Ye family listens to her. How can you be good if you return to the Ye family under her nose?"

Chen Xiaohui instinctively wanted to say that Ye Fan was indeed powerful, but he had never bullied her.

Ye Fan was very powerful in her previous life, and Chen Xiaohui thought it was because she had been to college. But Ye Fan had never been to college in this life. Ye Fan in this life is her in her previous life, so why is she not as powerful as Ye Fan?
Seven years have passed since her rebirth. Chen Xiaohui has always believed that she has more than twenty years of memory than Ye Fan, and as long as she can get into college, she can do better than Ye Fan. The reason why she came here is, first, because she can relax a lot with the help of the Ye family, and second, it is still a few years before the college entrance examination is resumed. With the temperament of Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping, they will definitely force her to go on blind dates and get married every day. She will have to get married and have children before the college entrance examination is resumed. How can she have time to review when taking care of children? Isn't it the same as in the previous life?

Now hearing Ye Fan dare to call Chen Kuanren by his name, calling him mean, and deliberately provoking Zhao Ruping to divorce, Chen Xiaohui felt very powerless. Chen Xiaohui suddenly saw the gap between her and Ye Fan. She couldn't accept it for a while, and her body went limp. Zhao Ruping supported her: "Xiaohui, why are you crying?"

Chen Xiaohui touched her face and realized that she was crying. She didn't know why she was crying. The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She felt aggrieved in her last life and in this life. Her throat was so tight that she couldn't cry out.

Chen Kuanren snorted coldly: "You don't want to leave. At the beginning, I said that two sons were enough, but you insisted on having a daughter. Now, both of them are someone else's."

The habit she had developed over the years made Chen Xiaohui instinctively want to comfort them and assure Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping that she would always be their daughter. When the words came to her lips, Ye Fan's arrogant look appeared in front of her, and Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but feel a little envious, she wished she could be as powerful as Ye Fan.

Chen Xiaohui shook her head unconsciously again, not allowing herself to envy Ye Fan. Ye Fan was Ye Fan, and she was her. She could live a good life without learning from Ye Fan. "What if I go back to work?" Chen Xiaohui asked the most realistic question.

Chen Kuanren was stunned.

Chen Xiaohui didn't know her surname was Ye before, so Chen Kuanren treated her as his biological daughter. Now Chen Xiaohui knows where the Ye family is, and the Ye family also knows her existence. The conditions of the Ye family are much better than those of the Chen family. He puts himself in their shoes. If Chen Xiaohui is close to the Ye family in the future, he will not be willing to raise a daughter for the Ye family.

Zhao Ruping really wanted a daughter. Chen Xiaohui finally returned to the city, and Zhao Ruping didn't want Chen Xiaohui to be too far away from her. She accompanied Chen Xiaohui back to recognize her relatives and fought for either exchange back or Chen Xiaohui went back with her, and the Ye family gave Chen Xiaohui some compensation, such as money.

Unexpectedly, nothing happened.

It’s all Ye Fan’s fault!
Zhao Ruping secretly hated herself, thinking that she should not have given birth to her in the first place!
"Xiaohui, what will happen to me if you leave me here?" Zhao Ruping's eyes moistened as she finished her words. "I miss you every day and every month. I have been waiting for you to come back with great difficulty. If you stay in the capital, how will I live in the future?"

Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but be moved. Suddenly, Ye Fan's mocking words rang in her ears. She clenched her hands and secretly advised herself not to be soft-hearted: "I can only be filial to you and Dad if I have a job and money, right?"
The Chen family lived in a tube building, cooked in the corridor, shared bathrooms and toilets, and the house was not soundproofed. It was full of smoke every day, unlike the Ye family, which had its own private house and courtyard, and the guest rooms were more spacious than the Chen family's living room. Before, Chen Xiaohui told the Ye family that she wanted to take a look, but in fact, she was retreating to make the Ye family think that she was sensible and well-behaved and would not fight or compete.

Zhao Ruping had no idea that her usually honest daughter would have such ideas. Hearing this, Zhao Ruping was very relieved: "But the company is not the Ye family's, can Ye Fan just give you the job?"

Chen Xiaohui: "If she can't do it, there's still the Ye family. The Ye family has connections. Even if I find a temporary job, I can earn 10 to 20 yuan a month. I'll eat and live at the Ye family, and save about 10 yuan a month, which is 100 to 200 yuan a year. I'll give it all to you when the time comes."

If Chen Xiaohui gave her one hundred, no, fifty yuan a year, it would be enough for her grandchildren to go to school. Zhao Ruping was tempted and immediately looked at Chen Kuanren, asking him to make the decision.

As soon as Chen Kuanren saw the spacious courtyard of the Ye family, with its clean windows and bright desks, he had a bad feeling. Ye Fan, that bastard, said that if it was really for Chen Xiaohui's good, he could ask her to come back. If he decisively refused, Xiaohui would definitely think too much, "You are so far away, if you don't come to visit us, we can't do anything to you." He sighed and deliberately said, "Just think that we have raised you for nothing for so many years."

Suddenly discovering the truth, Chen Xiaohui was still a little confused. Her body habit made her blurt out: "No——" She had always been very proud in her past and present lives, and she really couldn't say "The Chen family owed her". "Mom, I don't want to go back to the countryside."

Zhao Ruping sat down on the bed and thought for a long time. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that if she had to go back to the countryside, or marry into a family similar to the Chen family, she and her husband would have to support her. "While the Ye family is willing, I will move my household registration here first, and we can talk about the future later."

Chen Kuanren said that just to morally blackmail Chen Xiaohui, who was incredulous: "She will stay in the capital in the future, and she won't even know if you die and stink."

Zhao Ruping shook her head slightly. I have a way to deal with her. Then she turned back to Chen Xiaohui and said, "Mom respects you. Don't let me down in the future."

Chen Xiaohui nodded solemnly: "Mom, no, I'm not Ye Fan."

Outside the ward, Ye Fan, who was leaning against the wall, was stunned for a moment. Didn't Chen Xiaohui know that the two of them were maliciously swapped by Chen Kuanren? If she knew, she shouldn't have been so accommodating to Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping.

Ye Fan frowned. Was it because what she said before was not clear enough, or was it because they had some leverage over Chen Xiaohui that she didn't dare to confront them directly?

You can't just say that because you hate her.

If he disliked her, it was not impossible. After all, she had enjoyed the blessings of the Ye family for so many years.

Ye Fan didn't expect to be loved by everyone. He wasn't familiar with Chen Xiaohui, and didn't care about her liking. Ye Fan shook his head and smiled, and continued to wait.

When the three members of the Chen family came out of the ward and saw Ye Fan, they were shocked. Chen Kuanren exclaimed, "You didn't leave?"

Ye Fan wanted to leave, but when he thought about the fact that Chen Xiaohui was her mother's daughter, he felt embarrassed to leave her mother's daughter here. "Xiaohui has just arrived in the capital and is unfamiliar with the place. She can't even tell where Zhengyang Gate is. If no one from the Ye family comes, what will it look like if I leave?" Ye Fan asked the stunned Chen Xiaohui, "Discharge? I'll go and handle the discharge procedures."
