[No CP] Ye Lin arrived in Hong Kong in 1978. Fortunately, he transmigrated into the body of the sole son of a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, sharing the same name. Unfortunately, Ye Lin cannot spen...
Chapter 110 Old Man Ye
"Huh? Why are you here?"
Ye Lin didn't expect that the person squatting behind the wall was Wei Xiaodan. The girl looked much better than yesterday.
Wei Xiaodan didn't know why she ended up hiding here. When she saw Ye Lin go to the brigade office, she hid here for some unknown reason.
When she really met Ye Lin, she didn't know what to say. She stumbled over and told Ye Lin that she was going to take the college entrance examination.
"Mr. Ye, I asked the captain to exchange a gold bar for cash and even issued a certificate. Tomorrow I will go to town to find a place to live and leave after taking the college entrance examination."
Wei Xiaodan's family probably wants her to marry in exchange for a dowry and will not agree to her taking the college entrance examination. Leaving may be the best option.
Ye Lin nodded slightly. This girl also has great potential.
"Have you found a place to live?"
Wei Xiaodan shook her head. As a girl, many people were afraid that she would get into trouble, and no one in the town was willing to rent a house to her.
Seeing her confused and helpless look, Ye Lin simply gave her a hand and gave her a helping hand.
John came to live in the village, and there was a room available in the guesthouse provided by the county, so it would be safe for a little girl like her to stay there.
"Do you know how to get to the county guesthouse? Go there and find Aunt Liu and ask her to arrange it for you."
"Ah, this, how can this be possible?"
"It's okay. The room is empty anyway, so you can just go and live there with peace of mind."
Wei Xiaodan didn't expect that the favors he owed Mr. Ye would increase. He waved his hands repeatedly and shook his head like a rattle.
"No, no, I've already received so many benefits from you, how can I still live in your house?"
"Aunt Liu is my elder, and she also lives in the guesthouse. She's quite lonely. If you go and keep her company, it's like you're going to keep her company for me."
From what John said, no one knew what Bao Anquan and Ban Li were doing outside every day. It would be boring for Aunt Liu to live alone in the guesthouse, so it would be just right to find a young girl to keep her company.
"Mr. Ye's elder lives in the guesthouse by herself? I understand. Mr. Ye, don't worry, I will take good care of her when I go there."
Wei Xiaodan's sincere and determined eyes made Ye Lin feel as if she was making some kind of oath.
She seems to have misunderstood
Aunt Liu has all her limbs intact, can run and jump, and eats two steamed buns for a meal. There's no need to be so serious.
After Wei Xiaodan left, Ye Lin and Ah Hui just entered the Ye family alley and saw Jin Fenglian at the door, busy and flustered, not knowing what she was doing.
"Lin! You're back!"
There was fire under Jin Fenglian's feet. She rushed from the door to the alley entrance, pulled Ye Lin up and turned around to run home.
Ye Lin was completely bewildered and didn't react. He was almost thrown to the ground by Jin Fenglian.
What's the rush? Did the stock market crash?
After running into the house in one breath, the two of them had time to catch their breath.
Ye Lin leaned against the door frame, bent down to catch his breath, and asked Jin Fenglian what happened.
"What happened at Aunt San's house?"
Jin Fenglian ran back and forth twice at a very fast speed. Now she was almost sitting on the ground. She pointed at her throat, indicating that she couldn't speak.
Then he pointed to the house and asked Ye Lin to go in.
After instructing Ah Hui to take care of Jin Fenglian, Ye Lin was about to turn around and go back into the house when Ye Sanxing also came out of the house to look for Ye Lin.
Seeing Ye Lin in the yard, he quickly pulled him into the house.
"What are you doing here? Your grandfather knows about your father's affairs!"
"What! How did you know?" Ye Lin was horrified.
Ye Sanxing had no time to explain, so he quickly said
"We forgot to tell your grandma! She thought your grandpa knew about this, and she just mentioned to the old man that she wanted to bury the second brother, so she was exposed."
"Thanks to the foreign doctor you brought home, who gave the old man an injection on the spot, he is now awake and is looking for you all over the world."
Ye Sanxing pushed open the door of the main hall. The Ye family members gathered outside. Old man Ye did not let them enter the inner room.
Zhao Zhaodi was lying on the door curtain listening to the movement inside, and saw Ye Lin about to enter the inner room.
Stop him and whisper
"There's been no sound in there for a long time, like a dead jar. I'll go in and look for your grandma later to avoid the old man scolding you."
Ye Dajun went home today on leave and met his second nephew for the first time. Just when he was about to say hello, he heard his wife start to teach the children badly. His brows furrowed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When has Dad ever scolded a child? Lin, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense."
Ye Lin nodded. He was in a state of confusion and couldn't talk to them.
I grabbed the door curtain with my left hand, but couldn't open it. The straw curtain that was thin in the past seemed to weigh a thousand pounds today.
"Is Lin back? Come here quickly."
Old man Ye heard some noise outside and turned around to call for help.
Ye Lin rolled his throat up and down, and after trying several times, he finally uttered a sound: "Master, I'm back."
Back Room
Old man Ye was lying weakly on the kang, while old lady Ye was tucking the corner of the quilt into him.
Seeing her grandson coming, Mrs. Ye said to Ye Lin with guilt
"Lin, it's all your grandma's fault. I didn't think about everyone being here. I took care of Xiao Er's funeral these past two days. He's been floating around in the provincial capital, and there's no one to offer him sacrifices."
"Don't overthink it, Grandma. I'm going to know about this sooner or later. It's not a good idea for us to keep it a secret."
After placing Old Lady Ye on the kang, Ye Lin went to check on Old Man Ye.
"Master, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Old man Ye propped himself up with his arms and got up from the quilt, leaning against the wall. Ye Lin put a pillow under him.
Old man Ye took his hand and signaled him not to bother
"Lin, I'm fine, you sit down."
Old man Ye’s reaction was a little too normal, which made Ye Lin feel uneasy.
Seeing his grandson's cautious and reserved look, Old Man Ye felt distressed. His darling grandson had to live alone in Hong Kong at such a young age, and he must have suffered so much.
"I'm fine now. I've let your father's affairs go. It's all fate and nothing can be changed. Come, tell me how your father has been doing these past few years."
Seeing that Old Man Ye was really fine and there was an expectation in his eyes, Ye Lin put his worries aside a little and began to tell him about Ye Errong's ups and downs in life.
"Later, he met an Italian lady who was visiting Hong Kong, and they fell in love at first sight. My mother's name was Irene, so they named me Lin, which is a homophone of Lin."
At this point, Old Lady Ye suddenly remembered that she had to leave a pit for her second daughter-in-law to put her coffin.
"Oh, thank goodness I talked about this today, otherwise I wouldn't have one coffin to make."
Ye Lin thought of his mother who was buried in Italy, and then thought about the customs in the mainland. He carefully said to his grandmother, "Grandma, don't prepare anything for my mother. She won't be buried here."
"What! Where else to bury it if not here?"
“Ouch!!”
"Who stepped on me?"
Before Old Lady Ye could figure out what her grandson meant, a group of people came rolling in from behind the door curtain.
They fell to the ground at the door with a loud thud, with three layers of people stacked on top of each other, like a big hamburger.
