Chapter 37 A Humble Name Makes a Good Child Easier to Raise

Ye Wan and Aunt Cai talked for a while before leaving, seeing that it was getting late.

"Godfather, godmother, I won't see you off any further. I'll come to see you again tomorrow."

Ye Wan smiled and waved to the coughing old man; the bracelet on her wrist looked even more beautiful in the sunlight.

After seeing Ye Wan and the others off, the old man finally returned to his house.

“Chunya, that was your mother’s dowry, and she didn’t even have it during the hardest times… How could you just give it away?”

The old man looked at his gray-haired wife. He had been surprised when she took out the things, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel sad.

He knew that Chun Ya was thinking of their daughter, something he had cherished all his life.

Ye Wan's eyes bear a resemblance to her daughter, with whom they had severed ties long ago.

“You’re so old, didn’t you used to call me ‘old woman’? Why are you calling me Chunya now?” Aunt Cai’s maiden name is Cai Chunya.

"You, you've been pedantic and aloof your whole life, but in the end, it's all because I made an exception and even sold your own paintings. You only got ten taels of silver. I can't take these things with me when I die, so it's fine to give them away. That girl just likes them."

Grandma Cai stared blankly at the dilapidated house above her head. Anyway, she was going to die soon, so it didn't matter who she gave it to.

"Cough cough, I'm only after ten taels of silver, what are you after?" The old man looked at his wife, his heart tightening.

"I just want to be happy right now, and I want to be called godmother, okay?"

Aunt Cai chuckled, then suddenly her expression changed.

"Old man, I feel a stomachache. Could there be something wrong with that powder?"

"Quick, the chamber pot!"

...

...

"We suddenly have a relative?"

On the way back, Er Ya couldn't help but mutter, "I just find it strange. These old folks can bring out such good things, why don't they know to sell them? If they had sold them, they wouldn't be so poor. Could they be fake?"

Er Ya's eyes widened when she saw the bracelet on Ye Wan's wrist; even a fake one looked beautiful.

“It’s me, not us,” Ye Wan emphasized Er Ya’s statement.

This girl's eyes are practically glued to her bracelet; her intentions are far too obvious.

Just to be on the safe side, Ye Wan secretly put the items into her spatial storage when the three girls weren't looking. Although she liked them very much, she wasn't ready to wear them yet.

"What's there to be so smug about? They're just two old folks who're about to die. Giving you this thing is just for cleaning up their messes and serving them. It might even be a fake. You think you've struck gold, but you don't even feel guilty taking it." Er Ya sneered.

Ye Wan laughed out loud, "You're just being jealous. I know you're envious, but you can't envy someone's good fortune."

She has nothing to hide!

The bamboo tube of water given to Aunt Cai was all from a sacred spring. If Aunt Cai had any illness, drinking that water would help her; at most, she would just get diarrhea.

She learned about the diarrhea from Sanya.

She drank it and was fine anyway, but the other family members only ate the things in the space, and it's unknown whether they had diarrhea or not.

Er Ya was so angry that her eyes turned red, but remembering her wages, she didn't argue with Ye Wan.

What if she argues with this heartless woman and then refuses to give her the money?

Not to mention, Ye Wan did this kind of thing with a clear conscience.

"Hey, you young lady, stop right there!"

Three men emerged from the side alley. The tallest, a bearded man, shouted and blocked Ye Wan's path.

"Didn't you leave? I'm really hungry, cook me a bowl of noodles!"

It's strange, but I just really want this taste.

"Wang Dachui, are you eating all by yourself?" Chu Jiu clicked his tongue.

"Then give me three bowls, you pay!" Wang Dachui thought to himself, since he had no money anyway.

"We're sold out for today, please come back tomorrow!" Ye Wan said with a smile.

"Sold out? What are you doing wandering around the street? The aroma is still there, are you kidding me?" Wang Dachui lifted the lid of the pot in disbelief, and the aroma wafted out.

Ye Wan's lips twitched slightly. "They're really sold out. I went to a relative's house and I'm heading home now."

Didn't your mother teach you that it's impolite to lift someone else's lid?

"Oh dear, it's all gone. This soup smelled so good."

Wang Dachui put down the pot lid and swallowed.

"Is it possible that what you're talking about could be in a pawn shop?" Chu Qi suddenly asked with a serious expression.

"If a poor family finds it, they are more likely to pawn it."

Chu Jiu's eyes lit up. "Chu Qi, you're so smart! Let's go to the pawnshop!"

The three people left quickly.

Sanya tugged at Ye Wan's hand, "Mother, I've seen that person before."

The first time Ye Wan ate the noodles, she recognized him as the one by the stream who had his money bag picked up by them.

Remembering the ring that was still in her spatial storage, Ye Wan patted Sanya's head. "Sanya is so smart. He ate our noodles last time, remember?"

Sanya nodded, agreeing with whatever her mother said.

"Sanya, Sanya, your father at least has some education, right? How could he give you such a careless nickname? Do you even have a formal name? What is it?"

Looking at the well-behaved Sanya, Ye Wan suddenly felt that this name was really bad.

Da Ya spoke up, "Father said that a humble name makes it easier to raise a child."

Not only Sanya, but neither did Erya. The village girls were given names that were either flower or grass.

Calling her "Ya" is already quite nice; there are also names like "cheap slut" and "whore."

"With me here, I guarantee Sanya will grow up stronger than a calf. Go back and have your dad give you a name. The little girl is pretty, so her name should be pretty too!"

Ye Wan carefully examined Sanya's features and found no resemblance to Lin Anyuan whatsoever. However, the little girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and although her skin wasn't very fair, she was still very pretty, so she must have resembled her mother.

She's still young and hasn't fully grown yet, but she'll probably be a little beauty when she grows up.

"Mom, I love you the most." Sanya hugged Ye Wan's arm tightly.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with your father. If he agrees, I'll name it for you."

Ye Wan smiled and took Sanya's little hand.

A hint of envy flashed in the eyes of Daya and Erya, who were pushing the cart nearby.

Er Ya muttered under her breath, "Sycophant."

When I got home, I was covered in sweat.

"Dad, why didn't you come back with us?"

Er Ya saw Lin Anyuan at home and asked him while washing her hands.

"I came back early today because nothing happened." Lin Anyuan looked at Ye Wan. "When Master Zhang's villa is finished next month, he wants you and me to go there."

Ye Wan said, "I'm not going. I know that black pig demon has bad intentions, so why would I go? Aren't I afraid of being made a meal?"

"Then I won't go."

Ye Wan looked up upon hearing this. Was Lin Anyuan really that easy to talk to?

"What? You've changed your mind and want to go again?" Lin Anyuan looked at Ye Wan, whose beautiful features were captivating.

Ye Wan withdrew her gaze and continued washing her hands. "No, I just wanted to ask why you didn't give the three girls formal names? Calling them 'Ya' is too perfunctory."

She looks so beautiful. Sigh, she's so unambitious.

"Waiting for you to get up."

Lin Anyuan looked at the person bending over in the sunlight. Although he was not wearing luxurious clothes or even a piece of jewelry, he exuded an air of nobility.
