If it wasn't for Han Li, Pei Yanyu would never have thought of leaving home like this.

In the past few years, his parents had quarrels like that, and Pei Yanyu couldn't persuade them, so he could only choose to stay in the room, and after both of them had calmed down, he would come out silently, waiting for their relationship to slowly recover in silence.

However, any relationship cannot withstand such repeated tossing, just like even a copper basin or an iron basin, if it is dropped on the ground too many times, it will leave marks.

Now they were quarreling again, and they were quarreling in front of the guests. Pei Yanyu reckoned that they would not reconcile quickly. Thinking of Wei Liuqin's sad and indignant look, he couldn't help but regret that he had left so hastily.

Because there was something on his mind, after leaving home, Pei Yanyu and Han Li ate rice noodles together in a small restaurant, always absent-minded.

Han Li naturally saw that his thoughts were all in that home, and thinking of Pei Que's attitude towards Wei Liuqin, he could imagine how he would discipline Pei Yanyu at home with his usual style.That kind of discipline can be good or bad. The good thing is of course that it taught Pei Yanyu the polite attitude towards others now. The bad thing is that Han Li thought that Pei Yanyu might be reprimanded like Pei Yanyu, and was annoyed.

"Since you have packed your things and come out, don't go back in the future." Han Li said to Pei Yanyu who was distracted after eating.

Pei Yanyu came back to his senses, and blurted out: "No way. They're arguing a little bit this time, I have to go back and take a look."

"See what's the use? Your old father calls himself the emperor at home, so can he listen to your admonition?" Han Li said angrily.

When his father was compared like this, Pei Yanyu was both sad and embarrassing, and he was in a panic. He wanted to help Pei Que say something nice in front of Han Li, but he couldn't.

Seeing that he was bored and silent, Han Li felt that his words were serious, so he softened his tone and asked, "Is he always like this? Ruining a few clothes, such a trivial matter is worth such a big fuss."

Pei Yanyu wanted to say no, but what was it?He already felt that Han Li didn't like his parents, but now Han Li's attitude showed the fact even more.If Pei Yanyu insisted on going home again at this time, Han Li would definitely go back together. The situation at that time was unpredictable, and Pei Yanyu was afraid that he would add trouble to Han Li again.He thought about it and made a decision.

"Let's do this first, I'll go back tomorrow morning." Seeing that Han Li's bowl was empty, he asked, "Going back to the hotel now?"

His preoccupied appearance, in Han Li's eyes, could not help but worry.Han Li thought for a while and said, "Would you like to have a drink?"

Hearing this, Pei Yanyu was stunned and asked, "Where should I drink?"

"Where else can I go?" Han Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but thinking that Pei Yanyu had always been obedient, it was understandable to ask such a question, so he said, "The bar."

The bar that Han Likou mentioned was probably different from the bar they were dating that time, it was probably a place for drinking.Pei Yanyu was not used to such a place, and usually would not even think about it, but because of Han Li, it became possible.

Han Li should be frequenting those places, right?Perhaps it was Pei Yanyu who kept the rules all along.But where does he have any rules now?Thinking about family matters, Pei Yanyu was very annoyed. Since Han Li offered to drink away his worries, he agreed.

In fact, it wasn't just Pei Yanyu who was upset, but Han Li as well.

When they came out of the small restaurant, they held an umbrella side by side. Pei Yanyu's silent profile and the dark night outside the umbrella made Han Li worried.

He could see that even though he was born in such a family, Pei Yanyu still valued his family very much. As Pei Yanyu said, some people can't get along with each other based on whether they like it or not. They have a natural and inseparable relationship. Even in the eyes of other people, such a relationship is unnecessary, but for someone like Pei Yanyu, it is absolutely impossible.

If Pei Yanyu still can't let go of the relationship with his parents, what should the two of them do?Han Li recalled what Yang Ming had said inappropriately. He said: Even if a normal family can accept their son coming out, they cannot accept their son being with a MB.What's more, Pei Yanyu's family may not be called "normal".

Following the map navigation in the mobile phone, they found a slightly famous bar in the county.

It was getting late and the bar had just opened. Pei Yanyu and Han Li were the first customers.

The decoration of the bar was simple and vulgar, and Han Li didn't catch the eye at all, but he rushed to drink, sat in the booth where the sofa had faded, and immediately asked the waiter for a dozen beers.

Pei Yanyu was already sleepy and tired from anger about his parents, but when he came to the dimly lit bar, he felt drowsy.

However, the increasingly noisy surroundings were not suitable for sleeping. Pei Yanyu and Han Li each had a bottle of cold beer, and the shop with more and more customers began to play rhythmic DJ music.

"Is your mother not working now? Retired?" Han Li pried off the lid of a bottle of beer and handed it to Pei Yanyu.

Pei Yanyu shook his head and said, "She used to work in a tea factory. A few years ago, the tea factory's efficiency was not good. Nearly half of the workers were laid off. She was one of them."

I see.Thinking of Han Xiaolian who had no financial resources, Han Li couldn't help asking, "Is it because she has no financial resources that she can't hold her head up in front of your father? What does your mother mean when she says she committed a crime?"

Speaking of this, Pei Yanyu's heart became even more congested.He tilted his head back and drank most of the bottle of beer, holding back a belch, and the eyelids of his eyes began to sink.

"They didn't do this before. Since I was young, my mother was in charge of the money in my family. My father handed over all the salary to her. I even joked about my mother, saying that she is the finance minister of the family." Speaking of In the past, the fatigue hit Pei Yanyu more heavily, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Han Li asked in disbelief, "Then why is it like this now?"

"My mother is a very naive person, and she tends to trust other people's words." Pei Yanyu smiled bitterly, "After being laid off, the family lost a financial income. Maybe she is anxious to help the family. My friend said that she knows how to invest People who invest money, earn more money than bank interest, and are more stable than stocks. She believed it and secretly invested money. Because my father never asked about money, my mother used to No, I didn’t ask my dad’s idea. I heard from my mother that the money invested in the investment got a return in the middle, which was tens of thousands. She tasted the sweetness and invested more money in it until the ‘investor’ 'After absconding with the money, she and her friends knew that it was an illegal private fundraising."

Having said that, Pei Yanyu stopped and finished the rest of the wine in the bottle.

His expression was calm, and it seemed that his heart would no longer be disturbed by this matter, but Han Li felt distressed by this peace.

Pei Yanyu still remembered that afternoon, when he was doing experiments in the laboratory, he suddenly received a message from Wei Liuqin on his mobile phone, claiming to be a sinner at home.

Later, Wei Liuqin said in the message that she wanted to die, but Pei Que refused to let her do so.

Pei Yanyu had never considered how much savings his family had, but when he saw the number "50" in the message, his mind went blank, and only after he regained consciousness did he realize that the family had this amount of money before, and when he knew about it, it was already like a bankrupt. The stones left in the water will never come back.

That feeling was very unreal, even somewhat absurd. Pei Yanyu couldn't feel the existence of the money. Seeing that Wei Liuqin mentioned "death" in the message, he replied: Forget it, there is no way to do it.

"That's the savings they have accumulated for decades. Before my grandfather passed away, he was seriously ill. The family spent more than one hundred thousand yuan on his treatment, and then almost only the half million yuan was left." Pei Yanyu pursed his lips. , "Because I never knew how much money they saved. When my mother told me that the money was gone, I didn't feel much. Until later my dad sent me a message to tell me... No, he apologized to me in the text message, Said that it was left for me to buy a house in a big city and marry a wife, but the money is gone, and maybe I have to wait a few more years."

Hearing this, Han Li's heart dropped suddenly, and only then did he finally understand why Pei Yanyu couldn't let go.

Having said that, tears welled up in Pei Yanyu's eyes.He frowned, took some effort to hold back his tears, and tried to continue to say lightly: "Do you understand this feeling? I didn't even know the existence of this money before, let alone want to have it. But the money is gone , my dad said 'sorry' to me, the money left for me is gone."

Han Li clenched the beer bottle in his hand tightly. The cold air in the bottle froze his hands.After a long time, Han Li nodded slowly.

This matter was their family's secret, Wei Liuqin felt guilty for Pei Que's face, and Pei Yanyu knew that none of them would say anything about it.Of course, Pei Yanyu never told anyone, until Han Li asked him if he wanted to have a drink together.Looking at Han Li who was sitting opposite, Pei Yanyu felt relieved when he told the secret, and couldn't help but think: It's great to meet Han Li.

"After this incident, all the money in the family was handed over to my dad. He has hardly been to the bank for decades. At the beginning, he wanted to do some business and asked me to teach him. I only knew the passwords of my bank card and passbook at home—it was actually his birthday.” When it came to what happened later, Pei Yanyu relaxed a lot, “After my mother was laid off, she had no income. My dad asks for a lot of money. Now, she and some former workers are working together to make money by doing manual work to supplement some households, but the income is still very little. So I will save money at school, and save money from part-time jobs, and remit it home for future use. My mother is trivial. In fact, my father knew about it, but he didn't care."

It's no wonder that Pei Yanyu's family doesn't seem to be very poor, but he still has to live frugally and work part-time.Hearing this, Han Li raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "Will your mother be angry if I let you know that I took away my pocket money that month?"

Pei Yanyu laughed and shook his head.

Before they knew it, they had already drank a dozen beers, Pei Yanyu's head was dizzy, and Han Li began to appear double in his eyes.He never knew before that drinking was a happy thing, but now seeing Han Li's blushing face, he felt that the time was good and drinking was good.Pei Yanyu wiped his hot face and asked, "Shall we drink another dozen?"

Han Li was very surprised. Unexpectedly, after drinking a few bottles of beer, the good student turned into a little alcoholic.

"Okay." Han Li laughed, waved to the waiter, and shouted, "One more dozen beers!"
