Ye Qingqing hurriedly returned home. The old lady was still busy in the kitchen. Ye Zhiguo had not yet come home from get off work. Ye Hua was doing his homework in his room. He had been very well-behaved lately, which made him more pleasing to the eye.

"Grandma, let me help you pick the vegetables."

Ye Qingqing volunteered to help in the kitchen, picking celery for the old lady. The old lady was very disgusted, saying, "No need, go do your homework. You're just making things worse!"

The old lady had originally intended to properly train Ye Qingqing, and she was very confident. However, she eventually realized that she was just being delusional. In her almost one lifetime, she had never met anyone more stupid than Ye Qingqing.

She can't wash dishes properly, smash plates, and only has an ounce left after picking vegetables from a pound. She can't tell the difference between garlic and scallions, MSG and sugar, or soy sauce and vinegar...

For the sake of her old heart, the old lady finally gave up her idea of ​​training Ye Qingqing to become a culinary expert and strictly forbade Ye Qingqing from entering the kitchen.

Ye Qingqing didn't move. She glanced at the old lady, then picked some leaves herself. She did a pretty good job, and the old lady let her be. She quickly picked off the yellow leaves and prepared to make celery and dried tofu for dinner.

The hospital bills were too high, so the old lady naturally had to cut back on food expenses, planning to eat meat twice a month and tofu and vegetables the rest of the time.

Eating too much meat and fish will make you sick; only vegetables and tofu will keep you healthy!

"Grandma, I have a question for you. Were you home the day my mom gave birth to Xiaotong?" Ye Qingqing asked casually.

The old lady paused, then said irritably, "Yes, why are you asking this?"

It's bad luck to bring up the dead!

"Didn't that slut say my mother's death was suspicious the other day? I just wanted to ask her about it."

"Don't listen to her nonsense! Your mother died from a difficult childbirth and severe bleeding. Childbirth is a life-threatening ordeal for women. Your mother didn't make it. It's just that she was unlucky!" The old lady was scolding, but her expression was somewhat sad.

Even if she disliked Xu Yali, it was still a human life, and one that had been lost while giving birth to a son for the Ye family. The old lady always felt sorry for her former daughter-in-law.

Most importantly, compared to Shen Yanhong, the old lady felt that Xu Yali was actually quite good. Even if she didn't like to talk to her, she would give her everything she was entitled to, and would only give more than she was entitled to, never withholding anything.

It's such a pity that he died so young!

The old lady sighed, her movements slowed as she picked the celery, her triangular eyes drooped, and her spirits seemed to have waned.

"I remember my mom went to the hospital at night, why didn't my dad take her to the hospital earlier?" Ye Qingqing asked.

The old lady glared at her. "Your mother isn't due to give birth until tonight, why are you taking her to the hospital so early?"

She seemed to have thought of something, sighed again, and muttered to herself, "If I had known your mother would have a difficult labor, I would have taken her to the hospital earlier. Maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way. It's strange, really. I've never seen anyone more resilient than your mother. She was already in labor and bleeding..."

The old lady stopped talking and waved Ye Qingqing away, "Go away, she's already dead. Your mother has definitely been reincarnated into a rich family as a young lady. Why keep bringing up the past!"

"Grandma, don't you dislike my mom? Why do you still want her to be a rich heiress?" Ye Qingqing asked deliberately.

The old woman gouged out her eyes again and cursed, "No matter how much you dislike someone, you can't curse the dead. The dead are the greatest. Besides, although your mother is a bit spoiled, she's much better than that slutty widow. It's just a pity that she had such a short life, alas!"

Ye Qingqing left the kitchen disappointed. It seemed that Ye Zhiguo was very meticulous in his work and had even kept the old lady in the dark. However, the old lady mentioned something: her mother's condition deteriorated after going to the hospital.

Even if it's a difficult birth, it shouldn't be this fast, right?

What exactly did Ye Zhiguo do to his mother?
