The Runaway Wife of the Godfather of the Republic of China

Chapter 3 Family Affairs (1)
Ye Qingran sent Shushu back, and when she arrived at her home, she had already missed the lunch time.

The Ye family lives in an ordinary alley in Shanghai, No. [-] Yongmin Lane.

The Ye family is a small quadrangle with two entrances.Ye Qingran's father, Ye Jiezhi, made his fortune in the silk business when he was young, and now he owns two large silk and satin shops in Shanghai.

As soon as Ye Qingran entered the house, he heard the sound of "bang bang dang dang" from his parents' bedroom.

The nurse of the twin brother, Mama Wu, came out of the room frowning, "Miss, hurry up and persuade me, the husband will pack up his clothes and move out as soon as he enters the house, but the wife won't let him, so the two started arguing."

Ye Qingran felt sad for a while.Originally, my parents were very affectionate. My father left early and returned late, and was busy taking care of the shop every day, while my mother took care of their three siblings at home. The family of five was harmonious and warm.But since my father met the woman who sang Kunqu opera——Tian Yanqiu outside last year, there has been no peace at home.The mother, who has always been steady and quiet, quarreled with the father again and again. Originally, the father set up a small mansion outside to raise his aunt and hid from his mother, but in the past two months, he simply did not even return home.

Just as Ye Qingran was about to push the bedroom door, she heard her mother He Yuxin crying hysterically, "Ye Jiezhi—we've only been married for 17 years, you don't even want your home because of an actor..."

"Yuxin, you are my wife, Yanqiu is just a concubine, why do you have to be so angry! You see, Boss Yang from Dingshengfang and Boss Li from Yushuzhai are all married to the second wife? Ladies, be open-minded. , if the Republic of China is not still in the Qing Dynasty, three wives and four concubines will be no surprise!"

"Ye Jiezhi——you have changed! At the beginning, you promised to marry only me in this life—Momo is about to go to university, Lingyue and Minyue will go to middle school next year, and the children are getting more and more sensible. Now How can you make them behave in front of their classmates when you make such a fuss?"

Ye Qingran couldn't take it anymore, and pushed open the door.

Broken porcelain bowls and tea leaves on the ground, overturned tables and chairs, all in a mess, no longer as neat and clean as before.

The mother, with her hair uncombed and disheveled, was sitting on the ground crying.The father was about to go out with a black suitcase when he saw his daughter's eyes full of hatred.

"Momo," Ye Jiezhi called Qingran's baby name, "I advise your mother, I'm just moving out temporarily, and I'll be back after staying for three to five days."

"Dad, where are you going?" Ye Qingran stopped his father.

"I—" Ye Jiezhi was really speechless in front of his 15-year-old daughter, "I rented a house on Jing'an Road."

"Since last year, you haven't come back home. It's hard for my brother and I to see you! Dad—don't leave, mom and I will forgive you." Ye Qingran let go of the words that had been in his heart for a long time. She was ashamed to speak about raising her aunt outside.

"Children, just study well, don't worry about it so much." Ye Jiezhi was a little anxious.

Ye Qingran chased into the yard, pointing to the orderly rows of jasmine flowers at the door, "Mom knows that you like jasmine, and you plant a lot of them every year. Look, this year's "Scent Soul" has already bloomed. After dinner before, you always Let my younger brothers and I have a competition to count the buds, to see who can count the most and fastest! Now you want to move out, don’t tell me, in your heart, my mother, my brother, and I can’t compare to that actor?”

"Shut up! You don't have the right to talk!" Ye Jiezhi was very upset when he was exposed.

He glanced lightly at the small courtyard full of fragrance, and sighed.In addition to a cobblestone-paved path in the small courtyard of more than [-] square meters, even the sides of the steps and the corners of the main house... Any place where there are flower pots has been planted by his wife with the jasmine he once loved. Here It was also the place where he watched with his wife, daughter, and son countless times, and commented on which pot of jasmine blooms beautifully and which pot has a long-lasting flowering period.
