Chapter 336: Historical Reasons

A six-inch photo is only 15.2 cm x 10.2 cm in size, weighing about 3.7 grams. It is light and airy; a gust of wind can make it helpless, not knowing where its fate is headed.

But it was such a photo, with almost no weight, that made Li Ye's hand tremble.

Li Ye looked handsome and dashing on the outside, but he actually possessed strength completely inconsistent with his appearance. Breaking a brick with one hand was painless, and taking on thirteen people was easy.

But it was this physical fitness that was actually made to tremble by a photo.

Because the adult man in the black-and-white photo looked like a young version of Li Kaijian no matter how you looked at him.

Li Ye slowly raised his head, calmly examining the middle-aged woman in front of him, confirming that she was the mother in the photo.

Looking at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in front of him, her face was pretty and her features were like a painting. She was 80-90% similar to the woman; she was indeed the middle-aged woman's daughter.

So, did Li Kaijian have an affair?

Forget it!

Even if Li Ye was showy again, he understood that the woman in front of him had a great relationship with him.

Because he and Li Xia Yue were also somewhat similar to her!

When Li Ye first traveled through time, the memories he received were not many, and he had no impression of his biological mother. His family members were secretive about it, and he only guessed from his aunt's fragmented words that it was because of special reasons that she divorced Li Kaijian and then disappeared.

Li Ye had never thought of getting to the bottom of the story inside. After all, he was an outsider. Although he inherited someone else's body, he had to inherit someone else's karma. But it was better not to actively touch this kind of complex entanglement mixed with historical factors.

As a result, who would have thought that the power of heavenly karma was so great that he actually bumped into her here in Singapore, thousands of miles away.

The reason Li Ye's hand trembled just now was that he felt the throbbing tremor hidden deep in his soul; it was a blood connection that could not be severed.

In that instant, he felt as if he couldn't figure out if he was Li Ye? Or Li Ye?

【Could it be that the me of the past life, and the me of this life...】

Li Ye shook his head vigorously and smiled.

Even if it was karma, it was a gift given to him, this bug, by the world. Just go with the flow; don't care too much, and don't deliberately stick to it.

"May I ask, Madam, what is your... surname?"

"..."

"I..."

The woman noticed the intense emotional fluctuation in Li Ye just now. Suddenly seeing Li Ye become calm, this abrupt change made her, who was already agitated, panic immediately.

Several seconds later, she said to Li Ye: "My surname is Fu, Fu Fu Guiru."

Li Ye looked at her panicked eyes, raised the photo in his hand, and asked: "Madam Fu, can you only provide this one photo? Is there any other information? The more detailed the information, the easier it is to find relatives."

Fu Fu Guiru opened her mouth but couldn't speak, clearly even more panicked.

"Student Li Ye, don't just stand there! Sit down and have a good talk with Madam Fu..."

At this time, Team Leader Zhou of the debate delegation spoke, which counted as resolving the awkwardness for the two.

"This Madam Fu misses the motherland very much. Look at those things; they were all donated to us by Madam Fu..."

Li Ye followed Team Leader Zhou's guidance and saw a large pile of things piled in the corner. There were several TVs alone, and even more small appliances. They were definitely worth a lot.

Looking at Fu Fu Guiru's dress, jewelry, and the attire of the two children, it seemed that Fu Fu Guiru's life should be okay.

Li Ye naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and the throbbing anxiety in his blood disappeared by more than half in an instant.

This was quite magical.

No resentment, no gloom, only relief after extreme worry.

It was as if a voice was saying, "So she is doing well, then I can rest assured."

Taking advantage of Team Leader Zhou's interruption, Fu Fu Guiru also controlled her emotions.

"Xiao Ruo, take your brother out and buy a few durians."

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl had been staring at Li Ye. Suddenly hearing her mother ask her to go out, she was stunned for a moment.

However, she should have been well-educated. Although reluctant, she still pulled the little boy's arm and walked out.

The little boy was very resistant. When he reached the door, he turned back and glared at Li Ye.

【Why does this kid's look seem like he wants to kill someone?】

Li Ye suddenly wanted to laugh.

He had only seen this kind of look in two types of children.

One type is children afraid of others grabbing their toys; the other type is children afraid of others grabbing their mother.

Often, the killing intent of the second type is even stronger.

Fortunately, this twelve or thirteen-year-old boy should be the first type.

"Please sit down, Student Li Ye."

Fu Fu Guiru greeted Li Ye to sit down, then stared into Li Ye's eyes and said softly: "I have another address: No. 188 Gangzhong Road, Island City, Dongshan Province..."

Li Ye looked at Fu Fu Guiru and felt the intense expectation like sea waves in her eyes.

Li Kaijian had stayed in the army for a long time.

There are generally two arrangements for demobilized soldiers: single soldiers generally return to their original place of registration, and married soldiers can go to the place of registration of their spouse or parents-in-law.

And when accompanying Pei Pei Wencong to wander around Island City during the Spring Festival, his sister Li Xia Yue really took him for a stroll around Gangzhong Road, as if looking for something.

But Li Ye said: "Island City? That's easier. The initiator of the 'Ten Thousand Mile Search for Relatives' activity, Blue Sea Publishing House, is in Island City."

Fu Fu Guiru's breath suddenly weakened by a notch, and then she couldn't help asking: "Don't you know this address?"

Li Ye shook his head slowly and said: "Island City? That's easier. I heard from my sister that I did live in Island City for a few years when I was young, but when I was very young, my father lost his job and we returned to our hometown to rely on my grandfather."

"..."

Fu Fu Guiru was stunned. After a long while, she murmured inaudibly: "Did it still implicate him?"

Li Ye asked back: "What did you say, Madam Fu?"

Fu Fu Guiru was startled, smiled, and said: "Nothing. Then don't you remember things in Island City?"

"I was very young then, not yet at the age to remember things. Even my sister didn't remember much." Li Ye suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Are you from Island City, Madam Fu?"

Fu Fu Guiru nodded slowly and said: "I used to be. More than ten years ago, I arrived in Malaysia and never went back. After stabilizing, I wrote a few letters to my hometown, but there was no reply..."

Li Ye asked strangely: "You are not from Singapore?"

Fu Fu Guiru shook her head and smiled: "No, I am in Johor, Malaysia. This time, I saw the TV and newspapers, and only then did I know that people from my hometown had arrived in Singapore..."

Li Ye also smiled: "It's not easy to live in a foreign land. You must have suffered a lot, Madam Fu, right?"

Fu Fu Guiru looked at Li Ye suspiciously and said: "It's okay. I have relatives here. At first, I was indeed a bit unaccustomed, but now it's all over..."

"You have relatives here?"

Li Ye was a bit surprised. Based on his understanding of his grandfather Li Li Zhongfa, if Fu Fu Guiru had overseas connections, the shrewd Li Li Zhongfa shouldn't have agreed to this marriage.

Fu Fu Guiru: "..."

She had already looked into Li Ye's eyes for the umpteenth time, but she still couldn't distinguish—did this child... recognize her or not?

Fu Fu Guiru closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then said: "I didn't know there were relatives here either, but later, letters were suddenly sent to Dongshan, which led to many changes later..."

Listening to Fu Fu Guiru's narration, Li Ye filled in some clues.

Before the end of the 1950s, the Luohu port was actually not closed. Communication between the mainland and the outside world was relatively easy, and no one expected the various serious consequences that would follow.

After Fu Fu Guiru said a few things about herself, she suddenly asked Li Ye: "I haven't known the situation in my hometown since I left. I heard that there was a period when the wind and rain were quite heavy, and your father lost his job... are you doing well?"

Li Ye was silent for a few seconds and said truthfully: "At first, it wasn't very good. My grandfather's work wasn't smooth either, and there were many people in the family. My father dragged me and my sister for more than ten years alone, living very difficultly..."

"Dragged for more than ten years alone?" Fu Fu Guiru opened her mouth and said tentatively: "Then your father... your mother?"

"I'm not clear." Li Ye's emotions were also infected. He exhaled the depressed air in his heart and said: "I grew up in my hometown. My grandfather's mouth was very tight, and the people in the hometown didn't know the details. Later, I asked my old man, and he said... it was a historical reason, and we were separated."

"Historical reason... separated..."

Fu Fu Guiru's eyes became extremely painful, and tears quietly filled her eye sockets. By the time she noticed, the tears had already fallen on her cheeks.

"Sorry!"

Fu Fu Guiru quickly took out a handkerchief and covered her eye sockets.

Team Leader Zhou, who was watching from the side, was very surprised and raised his leg to come over, but was stopped by Li Ye with a wave of his hand.

Li Ye could feel Fu Fu Guiru's entanglement and suffering. Although she said she had relatives here and had always lived smoothly, how could one be completely satisfied under someone else's roof?

Think about the girl just now, and the boy who wanted to kill...

Sigh~

"But we are doing much better now," Li Ye continued: "A few years ago, my father and grandfather both returned to work. My grandfather is a cadre in the grain system, and my father..."

"My father remarried four years ago and married my stepmother. Life is okay..."

Fu Fu Guiru was stunned for a moment, took off the handkerchief on her eyes, and said with flickering eyes: "Life is okay? Are you not affected now?"

"Yes!" Li Ye smiled: "I have been admitted to university, and I am an active applicant for the Party!"

"Heh~, that's good, that's good! We have an old saying in Dongshan: where is there a hurdle that can't be passed? Good days are all ahead!"

"Hmm, they are indeed ahead!"

Li Ye watched the haze on Fu Fu Guiru gradually fade away, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

【This is also good!】

If he were to "recognize his mother" right now, and let Li Ye kneel on the ground and kowtow and cry, that would really be difficult for him.

Even the original owner hadn't seen Fu Fu Guiru after he could remember things, let alone Li Ye?

Although the blood connection could never be erased, Li Ye's situation was really too special. ===== CHAPTER 337 =====

Although the bond of blood can never be erased, Li Ye's situation was truly too unique.
