Chapter 494 Ye Zhaodi’s Future (1)

Chu Yue asked the waiter to pay the bill and took out the money.

The waiter bowed politely and said, "Ms. Chu, the fee for your private room has been paid."

Ye Zhaodi and Fang Xiuli were walking a little behind. They both stopped and looked up.

Chu Yue reacted quickly, "...Is it Miss Pei Fu's relative?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Miss Pei is our boss. She also said that from now on, as long as Miss Chu comes to our restaurant to eat, it will always be free."

The Pei family’s title of the richest family in the city is indeed not exaggerated. Any meal they eat is all the property of the Pei family.

Even Fang Xiuli, who had seen powerful people before, secretly raised her eyebrows after hearing this, not to mention Ye Zhaodi, who opened her mouth in surprise but could not make a sound.

Chu Yue did not act as if she had to pay for the sake of her dignity.

She reached out and touched Pei Tianci's head and said, "Tianci, today we got a free lunch thanks to you."

This is the fee Pei Mingzhu gave for half a day of babysitting. She is really generous.

When they walked out of the store, Fang Xiuli still couldn't let go of the grocery store and spoke.

"Your shop suddenly closed. This won't do. He Meijiao will think you've given up. Since we're done eating, go see Ye Xiaoman and I'll go back to open the shop."

The diligent and hardworking shop assistant is online, and she is even more dedicated than Chu Yue.

Chu Yue was going to treat Ye Xiaoman next, and it was inconvenient to bring Lu Yuanbao and Pei Tianci with her, so she simply handed the two children to Fang Xiuli and asked her to take them back to the store. Pei Mingzhu had also said that she would send someone to the store to pick up Pei Tianci.

"Okay, go to the store and take Yuanbao and Tianci with you. They like to play by the back door, so just prepare stools and water for them."

"Um."

Fang Xiuli nodded, took the two children who were not hers, and walked back to open the grocery store.

Chu Yue and Ye Zhaodi walked towards the hospital and the small house that Ye Zhaodi had temporarily rented.

"Sister Ayue!"

In the room, when Ye Xiaoman saw Chu Yue, his reaction was even more excited than Ye Zhaodi's before. He couldn't hide the smile on his face, with the corners of his mouth raised high, and he was so excited that he wanted to get off the bed.

He said loudly, "Sister Yue, it's really you who's back... It's really you! My sister said you were off to fight the floods and rescue more people who need your help. You were off to do something big. No matter how many times I asked her, she always said she didn't know when you'd be back and she was always worried about you. Now that I see you're back safe and sound, I'm so happy!"

The young man couldn't hide his thoughts and blurted out everything that was on his mind.

Chu Yue greeted him, "Xiao Man, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You look really good."

Ye Xiaoman's condition was not just good, but full of vigor and vitality. He grew taller and stronger, and the darkness and depression of so many years disappeared from him.

Chu Yue also noticed that on the table in front of Ye Xiaoman, there were not only books, but also some paper boxes and a bowl of paste.

“Is this manual labor?”

It looks like they are pasting paper boxes.

"Yeah." Ye Xiaoman nodded vigorously and said to Chu Yue as if he was presenting a treasure, "Sister Yue, I can make thirty cents a day doing this."

Three cents may sound insignificant, but for Ye Xiaoman, it is something he has never been able to do before, and it is also the realization of his self-worth.

He had always been taken care of and protected by Ye Zhaodi, and Ye Zhaodi earned money to support him, but now it was different, he could also make money.

Ye Xiaoman not only pastes paper boxes, but also prepares meals before Ye Zhaodi comes home from get off work, so that Ye Zhaodi can rest as soon as she comes back.

Ye Zhaodi looked at Ye Xiaoman, her eyes full of relief. "Sister Yue, I advised him that the weather is hot recently and he will be tired if he works too much. It's better for him to rest more at home, but he didn't listen and keeps doing these things every day."

"That's good. Just treat it as a way to kill time. Otherwise, Xiaoman would be bored at home alone." Chu Yue agreed with Ye Xiaoman.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoman became even more excited. With a raised eyebrow, he said to Ye Zhaodi, "Sister, did you hear that? Sister Yue told me to do it. Don't worry, when I go to school in a few months, I will definitely concentrate on my studies and won't do these things anymore."

"Okay, okay, now you have Sister Yue as your backer, can't I let you do it?"

After a few people laughed and joked, they finally turned to Ye Xiaoman's legs.

"Xiaoman, how do your legs feel lately?"

As Chu Yue asked the question, the smiles on Ye Zhaodi and Ye Xiaoman slowly disappeared and froze on their faces.

"Not much different from a month ago..."

Ye Xiaoman said dejectedly that he got a crutch a month ago and was finally able to stand up and walk, but his legs still couldn't exert much strength, and his waist would still hurt after walking for a long time. The bones in his lower body could not be corrected. After the attending doctor knew about it, he asked Ye Xiaoman to reduce the use of crutches as much as possible and still focus on conservative corrective treatment, and then observe the situation after half a year.

So overall, Ye Xiaoman's condition is at a standstill.

Chu Yue thought about this situation, and she comforted Ye Xiaoman with earnest words.

"Xiao Man, your legs are a growth problem. It can't be cured by taking medicine. You have to spend time, day by day, to slowly get through it. As long as you persevere, one day you will be able to walk like a normal person without crutches."

"Sister Yue, I know. I will persist. I won't give up. I will keep going."

"What a good boy. Lie down and let's do another acupuncture."

"Okay, Sister Yue."

Silver needles pierced Ye Xiaoman's body one by one. He had become accustomed to it. Not only did he not feel uncomfortable, he even missed it a little, because every time Chu Yue gave him acupuncture, he always felt that his body had gotten better the next day.

Ye Xiaoman lay on the bed, holding a book in his hand, and began to read it naturally.

He waited for the acupuncture to be over, and then Chu Yue removed the needles for him.

During the waiting time, Ye Zhaodi poured water, took out watermelon, and kept entertaining Chu Yue. Chu Yue looked around their cozy little house and her eyes finally fell on Ye Zhaodi.

She asked, "Zhao Di, are you still reading and studying?"

Ye Zhaodi paused and shook her head. "I just read the newspapers, not books."

Chu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Di, do you still want to go back to school?"

At the beginning, Chu Yue asked Ye Zhaodi whether she had ever been to school. Ye Zhaodi replied that she had only attended elementary school. Later, due to changes in her family, she was unable to continue her studies.

If she wanted to continue her studies, she would have to go to junior high school...

"I'm already this old, it's so weird to go to school with kids again. Sister Yue, I think it's good now. I can make money, take care of my brother, and know you. I'm very happy now." Ye Zhaodi said with satisfaction.

Chu Yue nodded, "...it's not appropriate for you to go to school at your age. Then buy some books and study on your own."
