In her previous life, Ye Jin was pure and kind, but she was schemed against by her stepmother and stepsister, which led to her losing her eyesight and being forced to marry the neighborhood rogue.<...
Although grandma was not tall, she was very ruthless. She hit Ye Daqiang again and again with her sturdy cane.
Ye Daqiang grimaced in pain but did not dare to resist.
It’s not that the old lady’s fighting ability is very strong. It is natural for him to beat his daughter. But if he beats his own mother, not only will Zhangjia Village not tolerate him, but Yejia Village will also want to kill him.
Insulting and beating elders is a serious crime no matter where it happens.
Ye Jin looked at Ye Daqiang with his skin torn and flesh exposed but not daring to resist, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Grandma was tired from beating him, so she put down her crutches and took a rest. She thought Ye Daqiang would be obedient now, but she didn't expect him to jump out again.
"I have nothing to say about my mother beating me, but you, little bastard, deserve to be beaten by me!"
Ye Daqiang unexpectedly grabbed Ye Jin's arm. In fact, Ye Jin could have kicked him away at this time.
But Ye Daqiang is his grandmother's son after all, and she can't beat her son in front of her, so she can only hide aside and show weakness.
Ye Jin frantically grabbed the corner of her grandmother's clothes and begged for mercy: "Grandma, I don't want to go with him, I don't want to go with him, I just want to be with you!"
"Evil beast! Let go of my darling granddaughter!"
Grandma was furious and swung her cane to hit Ye Daqiang again.
Ye Daqiang was beaten again out of frustration. Later, it got to the point where he would be beaten whenever he moved his arms. He was so scared that he could only leave in disgrace.
Ye Daqiang left, but Ye Jin still held her grandmother's arm tightly.
"Grandma, will my dad come back? I'm still so scared."
Ye Jin was still shaking, and her grandmother protected her as she walked into the house.
"Don't be afraid, my dear granddaughter. As long as grandma is alive, no one can bully you unless they step over my dead body!"
"This is the room grandma left for you. My dear granddaughter, come and take a look. Do you like it?"
In fact, Ye Jin had stayed in this room for one night last time, and now it has been tidied up by her grandmother, making it clean and fresh.
"I like it, my grandma prepared it for me, how could I not like it?"
The grandmother and grandson snuggled together, and the grandmother patted Ye Jin's back gently as if she was coaxing a child.
"Jinjin, don't be afraid. Jinjin, are you hungry? Grandma will cook some noodles for you."
My grandmother is old and has very little money. She usually doesn’t even want to eat, and usually just has porridge with pickles.
"Grandma, noodles are too expensive. I can't bear to see you spend so much money."
"That's nothing. My precious granddaughter is here, so we must eat the best. Not only do we have noodles, but we also have to add two eggs for you."
Grandma went to the kitchen to cook with a smile on her face, and Ye Jin took the initiative to help.
"Grandma, when I grow up, I will help you with things in the future."
"It's not much to do. Just go inside and rest. Let grandma take care of it."
Grandma still loves her granddaughter, but Ye Jin insists on helping out.
She rolled up her sleeves to help wash the various side dishes and cut them carefully.
While cooking noodles, grandma looked at her granddaughter with a complicated expression.
"Jinjin, you've suffered so much with your father for so many years. Now that you're here with grandma, I want you to rest comfortably."
"Grandma won't live for many more years. I'll do as much as I can now. When I can't move anymore, I'll just take a packet of rat poison and die."
Ye Daqiang, this unreliable son, can no longer be relied upon, and her granddaughter is so weak that she has to protect her. Besides, she can't bear to let her granddaughter suffer at all.
"Grandma, I won't let you say that. When I make money, I'm going to take you to the city to live a peaceful life."
Since her grandma loves her so much, Ye Jin will naturally treat her grandma well when she makes money.
But in her current situation, she can barely protect herself. Although she has made some money, she has not yet bought any property, so it is still far from enough.
Ye Jin felt his pocket, thinking about taking out some money for his grandmother, but he didn't know how much was appropriate.
Taking too much would arouse grandma's suspicion, and taking too little would be meaningless. After thinking it over, she took out 10 yuan and stuffed it into grandma's palm.
"Grandma, this is the pocket money I earned from helping others sell things recently. I want to use it to honor you."
Grandma quickly pushed the money back: "I'm an old woman, and I'm old. I can't eat much, and I don't spend much money. I grow vegetables and raise chickens myself, so these are enough for me."
"But grandma, I want to eat meat with every meal. Just consider it my living expenses. Wouldn't it be nice if you could buy more meat for us?"
Ye Jin stuffed the money into her grandmother's pocket and felt relieved only after seeing her grandmother accept it.
Grandma was always generous to her. Not only did she cook a big bowl of noodles, she also specially added two eggs.
"Grandma, the noodles smell so good! My grandma's cooking skills are so good!"
Ye Jin gave a thumbs up and praised her generously, and grandma was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
After the noodles came out of the pot, Ye Jin took another bowl and filled half of it for grandma.
"Milk, you eat too."
"Grandma is not hungry, you can eat by yourself."
"Grandma, I can't finish all these noodles. If you don't help me, it will be wasted. It would be a shame to throw it away and feed the pigs!"
Under Ye Jin's persuasion, grandma could only eat the other half bowl of noodles.
Grandma had just put down her bowl and chopsticks, and Ye Jin had just finished the last mouthful of soup. She quickly cleaned up the bowl and chopsticks and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to work.
"Oh, I've told you so many times that kitchen fumes are bad for girls' skin! Why don't you listen?"
While grandma was still chattering, Ye Jin had already quickly washed the dishes and wiped the stove.
"Grandma, we're going to live together for a long time. I can't just be a freeloader!"
After dinner, it gradually got dark. Grandma kept yawning and seemed to be sleepy again.
"Grandma, you're tired, go back to your room and sleep. I'll clean up here. I'm going to town to find a temporary job tomorrow morning, so I might have to get up early."
Ye Jin always says goodbye before going out so that the elderly at home won’t worry.
"Grandma doesn't sleep, and my granddaughter doesn't sleep either. I won't sleep either. I have to chat with my granddaughter."
As grandma spoke, she covered her mouth and yawned.
Ye Jin was obviously very sleepy but she still insisted on staying awake. She originally wanted to take advantage of this time to do a thorough cleaning of the house, but her grandmother ended up sitting on the bench in the living room and refused to go back.
"Grandma, nothing is more important than your health. It's getting late, you should go to bed."
At Ye Jin's urging, grandma finally went back to her room to rest.
Ye Jin simply swept the floor, then filled a basin with water and wiped all the furniture in the living room.
She had just sat down to rest for a while when she heard the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Ye Jin frowned slightly and became alert in his heart.
"Who could it be at this late hour?"
