"What does she want from Xiaolan?"

"How would we know? Oh, by the way, I heard Yu Cuifen is sick, and it seems to be quite serious. Did you know?"

"How could I not know? I even went to her house to check on her. She's fine, she can eat and sleep. If it was really that serious, Yu Cuifen would have gone to the hospital again."

"It turns out it's not serious. I was wondering why she arranged a blind date for that girl Xiaolan."

"Last time, there was such a big fuss that Xiaolan even ran away from home. How dare Yu Cuifen arrange a blind date for the child?"

"This time he's not an old bachelor, but the youngest son of Ma Er, who runs a repair shop in town. He's about the same age as Xiaolan."

"I know Ma Er's family. His youngest son is a little stupid. Why did Ma Cuifen introduce the girl to him? Isn't this harming her?

"Why else? The betrothal gift is high. Wasn't that old bachelor the same last time?"

"Are there any parents like this? Xiaolan is such a good child."

"Who says it isn't?"

…

After asking for directions, Ye Qing went to Ma's house with Ye Lin.

Looking at the closed door in front of him, Ye Qing pushed Ye Lin and said, "Third brother, go and knock on the door." What are you standing there for?

At this time, Ye Lin would definitely not let Ye Qing take the lead. He stepped forward to protect Ye Qin behind him, raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.

"Who is it?"

Soon the door was opened and a dark-skinned man in his fifties walked out.

Ma Dadan looked at the two well-dressed and handsome strangers in front of him and asked, "What do you do? What are you doing in my house?"

Ye Qing recognized the voice as Ma Xiaolan's father and leaned forward to ask, "Uncle, I called you before, do you remember?"

Ma Dabing looked Ye Qing up and down and said, "It's you. Xiaolan used to be your nanny, right?"

"Yes, Xiaolan works as a nanny for me."

Ma Dabao's expression was a little unnatural. "What are you doing here?"

As he spoke, Ma took a step to the side, blocking the gate firmly.

Noticing his little movement, Ye Qing paused.

"Uncle, didn't I tell you on the phone that I still haven't paid Xiaolan half a month's salary?

I was busy coming to North City to pick her up, and I was worried it would get lost if I mailed it. Since I had nothing else to do, I just sent it over directly."

Hearing this, Ma Dabing's expression instantly changed. He smiled and said, "I'm here to give you money. Take it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

"Uncle, this is Xiaolan's salary after all, so it's better to give it to her. Where's Xiaolan? Please ask her to come out for a moment."

"No, just give it to me directly. Xiaolan is in the back room taking care of her mother."

Ye Qing, "Xiao Lan is in the inner room, I'll go find her there.

The number of days is not calculated clearly, I have to ask Xiaolan in person, otherwise what should I do if my salary is too low? It’s a good opportunity for me to go in and see Auntie. "

Then he went back and pushed the other half of the door open.

Ma Dabing quickly blocked the door and said, "It's okay. It's okay if the salary is a little less."

Ye Qing disagreed, "That won't work. Xiaolan has to be paid for every day she works for me."

Then he glanced at Ye Lin.

Ye Lin understood what he meant and took Ma Dadan's hand. "Uncle, my little sister is so honest. If you don't let her settle her salary today, she won't be able to sleep well at night."

With Ye Yelin pulling Ma Dadan, Ye Qing pushed the door open easily.

He walked into the yard and shouted, "Xiaolan, Xiaolan, I'm Ye Qing, I'm here to see you."

While shouting, he walked towards the inner room that Ma Dadan mentioned.

Seeing Ye Qing coming in, Ma Dabing anxiously tried to break free from Ye Lin.

But Ye Lin was young and strong, and had been doing farm work since he was a child, so he was very strong. He couldn't break free at all and could only watch Ye Qing walk in.

Seeing Ye Qing was about to go into the inner room, Ma Dabing opened his mouth and wanted to call for someone to come and help him.

But I don’t know what he was thinking about, his mouth opened halfway and then closed again.

"Who are you?"

Before Ye Qing could walk into the inner room, a woman in her fifties suddenly came out and shouted at her.

Seeing that her facial features were somewhat similar to Ma Xiaolan's, Ye Qing guessed that this person should be her mother.

Smiling, she said, "Are you Auntie? Xiaolan used to work as a nanny for me, and she hasn't received half a month's salary yet, so I came to give her the salary."

By the way, Auntie, are you feeling better? I heard from Xiaolan that you were very ill.

Judging from her complexion and the speed at which she walked, she didn't look like someone who was seriously ill at all.

Yu Cuifen was stunned for a moment and then said, "My illness is sometimes better and sometimes worse. Sometimes I can walk a few steps, but sometimes I can't even move."

Ye Qing sneered in his heart.

You don't even choose a nice lie to tell. Only a fool would believe such a lie.

She was not sick at all, she was using the pretext of being sick to trick Ma Xiaolan into going home.

But at this time, Ye Qing was not in a hurry to expose her. The most important thing was to find Ma Xiaolan first.

"Just now, the master said that Xiaolan is taking care of you in the inner room. Where is Xiaolan? I have a few words to ask her."

After saying that, he continued to walk into the inner room.

Yu Cuifen quickly stopped her, "Xiao...Xiao Lan is not in the inner room. She went out."

Ye Qing pushed her away and continued to walk in, "How is that possible? Master said she was at home. Xiaolan, Xiaolan."

Then he called Xiaolan a few more times.

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't listen to her and kept walking inside, and was almost approaching the backyard, Yu Cuifen hurriedly grabbed Ye Qing and said, "I told you Xiaolan is not at home, why are you still going into the inner room?

Give me Xiaolan's salary and go back quickly."

"Knock, knock, knock, Sister Ye Qing, Sister Ye Qing..."

At this moment, Ye Qing suddenly heard a few faint shouts coming from the backyard, which sounded very much like Ma Xiaolan.

He pushed Yu Cuifen away and ran to the backyard.

The backyard is very large, with a large vegetable patch and two side rooms.

Ye Qing followed the sound and ran to the wing room. He knocked on the door twice and shouted, "Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, is that you?"

Almost instantly, Ma Xiaolan's voice rang out from the room, "Sister Ye Qing, it's me, Xiaolan."

Ye Qing glanced at the lock on the door and said, "Xiao Lan, wait. I'll rescue you right away."

After saying that, he picked up a stone from the ground and was about to smash the lock.

At this time, Yu Cuifen also ran over and shouted, "What are you doing? Stop it!"

That lock was newly bought and cost me two cents.

Seeing her coming, Ye Qing stopped tampering with the lock and pointed at the door to the wing room, saying, "Hurry up and open the door. What did Xiaolan do that you have to lock her up like this?"

Yu Cuifen stiffened her neck and said, "Xiaolan is my daughter. I can do whatever I want with her. It's none of your business."

"You're not going to open it, are you?"

“No.”

If you don’t open it, I’ll open it myself.

Ye Qing raised the stone and continued to smash the lock.

Yu Cuifen bought the cheapest lock, so the quality was naturally not very good.

After Ye Qing hit it twice, it became a little loose.

Yu Cuifen saw that the lock was about to break, and hurried forward to hold Ye Qing, "I bought this lock with my own money, what should I do if it breaks?"

"If I break one, I'll compensate you. Just get out of the way."

"What are you doing?"

As soon as Ye Lin walked to the backyard, he saw an elderly woman desperately pulling Ye Qing.

He yelled and ran over.
