Meng Chuyuan looked up at Lu Qingye's deep eyes and found that his expression and tone were consistent and firm, as if Meng Chuyuan felt dazed for a moment.

 She felt like she had found a soul mate with Lu Qingye.

Meng Chuyuan withdrew from his arms and lay back on her pillow so that she and Lu Qingye could keep their eyes at the same level. "Do you want to listen to a bedtime story?"

Lu Qingye asked curiously: "What story?"

 “A love story that is not blessed and favored by others.”

Lu Qingye subconsciously turned sideways to face her, as if he saw a desire to express himself in Meng Chuyuan's eyes. He said patiently and gently: "Tell me and listen."

"Then let me tell you about my parents' love." Meng Chuyuan's calm tone was slightly sad.

"When I was a child, I often heard people in the village say that my mother was a primary school teacher and my father was a vegetable seller. My father was very diligent. He would get up early and go to work late every day to sell vegetables. But he was too honest. Even if he went early, he would take advantage of it. He has a good seat, as long as a colleague comes towards him, he will obediently give up his seat to them."

Even though Meng Chuyuan had not been involved in this past event, her emotions were very contagious as she joined a special group, and she could imagine her father's feeling of helplessness and inferiority at that time.

"Not only were his colleagues bullying him, but even the customers who were buying vegetables wanted to take advantage of him because he couldn't speak or hear. They deliberately found trouble in his stall... Then suddenly one day my mother went to town to buy vegetables, and she met It’s my dad’s turn.”

Those vegetable sellers would shout when they saw someone passing by, attracting people with their enthusiasm. Only Meng Chuyuan's father sat quietly in front of the stall and said nothing. Others laughed at him for not being able to sell his vegetables.

 Perhaps Meng’s mother felt that other people’s vegetables were not fresh that day, or she couldn’t find the vegetables she wanted to buy, so she finally went to Meng’s father to buy them, which made those who also sold vegetables very unhappy.

"My mother bought groceries there once, and when she was checking out, she realized that the man couldn't speak, so my mother looked at the scale herself, and then paid according to the handwritten price list. She knew that my father was deaf-mute, so maybe It was out of kindness and care, and every time I went to buy groceries, I would ask my dad to buy it.”

After the two of them got to know each other several times, Meng’s mother would often introduce some colleagues and friends to come over for shopping. Occasionally, when she didn’t have classes on weekends, she would help sell vegetables and communicate with customers without any barriers, so the business gradually improved.

Originally, the small business could not make much money. Everyone worked hard at the stall every day and had to chat with the customers for a long time before selling the dishes. However, Meng's father did not say a word. As long as he sat there, customers would come to the door. Naturally, it was easy to attract people. Jealous.

“One time my mother went shopping for groceries and happened to see my father being bullied by others. She might have heard some unpleasant words and quarreled with them directly…”

"My mother learned sign language to facilitate communication with my father. Later, they were still together. I heard that when they were ready to talk about marriage, my family did not agree with my mother marrying a deaf-mute, but my mother insisted on it. If she wants to get married, her family feels that they cannot afford to disgrace this person, so they want to sever ties with her..."

“People in our village were surprised to know that they were getting married. They couldn’t figure out why my mother would choose a hearing-impaired man to get married.”

"It wasn't until my dad had an accident that year that she went crazy looking for someone. In the end, she really lost her mind. They started to say that my mom was really sick. Only a fool would look for a deaf person."
