Chapter 31 My man is my support
Ye Xiaomei had thought about this before: "Mom, don't worry about it. No matter what, it's better to rely on yourself in the future. I don't believe that I will starve to death if I don't rely on grandma."
Zhao Mei opened her mouth and her eyes widened, as if she had discovered some great secret:
"Xiao Mei, why do you feel like you've grown up so quickly?"
"Grown up?" Ye Xiaomei touched her face and said, "I'm already eighteen, I'm definitely not going to grow any taller."
Zhao Mei happily took her daughter's hand and patted the back of her hand gently:
"Maybe it's because you're talking about marriage and you've started to behave like a wife. No wonder marriage is the best way to mature a little girl. From now on, when you live alone, you really need to have your own ideas. Don't learn from your mother, who doesn't dare to do this or that."
"Mom, it's right for you to think this way. We don't do bad things, nor will we be unreasonable. As long as you don't bully us, our main focus is to live a stable life."
Ye Xiaomei felt deeply today. She had never been so determined before. When she thought of Ma Qijun's righteous eyes, Xiaomei was even more determined to live a good life.
Zhao Mei looked at her daughter with admiration - time passed so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the timid little girl who used to hide behind her had grown up.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door outside.
At the table, Li Cuihua pulled an old face and snorted: "Xiao Mei, do you have to make the house a mess before you are satisfied?"
Zhao Mei frowned: "Mom, this can't be blamed..."
"I'm asking Xiaomei, why are you butting in?" Li Cuihua interrupted bluntly:
"This matter concerns our family's reputation, you'd better not say a word to anyone. If I hear any rumors from outside, then you mothers will not be allowed to enter my Ye family."
Zhao Mei shuddered. It was obvious that she was being chased out and sent back to her mother's home. Her mother was no longer with us, and people always said that home was where her mother was.
It was not until Li Cuihua left that Zhao Mei opened her mouth and said, "Xiao Mei, this matter could be a big deal or a small one. You have to keep your mouth shut."
"What's the point of just controlling my mouth? If you don't want others to know, you'd better not do it. Who knows if it will be seen by others in the future." Ye Xiaomei had no intention of paying any attention to his grandmother.
It's like, it's impossible to reason with an unreasonable person, so just don't waste your breath.
"That's the reason, but..." Zhao Mei murmured to herself.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Xiaomei hurriedly took the Eucommia to the roof to dry. The next morning, Ye Xiaomei did not wait for Ma Qijun to come home to get it, but delivered it to him personally.
As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I saw the jeep turning out from the east end of the village.
"Boss, isn't that my sister-in-law?" Heizi was the first to see.
Ma Qijun took a look subconsciously. Isn't that her? Why is she here so early? He had planned to go to the county hospital for a checkup early, and he just happened to be back before noon so he could go to Ye's house.
Seeing her carrying the bamboo basket, Ma Qijun understood.
In the car, Ma Qijun moved to the co-pilot seat and gave the back seat to Ye Xiaomei. Although he felt itchy in his heart, he had to restrain himself. Everything would be done after they got married and got along with each other for a while, and the girl would get used to it.
"I put these grasses on the seat for you." Ye Xiaomei took out the grass and carefully checked the two stacked washbasins at the bottom of the frame. Fortunately, she met him, otherwise a lot of water in the basins would have been spilled out when she got to the county.
Ye Xiaomei carefully placed a few green lotus leaves into the backpack.
"What's in there?" Ma Qijun thought that the whole basket was filled with smilax china prepared for him.
"Loaches and eels." Ye Xiaomei carefully covered them with a net to prevent Qian from escaping.
"Sister-in-law, why are you catching this?" Heizi was not curious, as he had already investigated all these secretly.
"I'll sell it for some pocket money." Ye Xiaomei was in high spirits today. She was obviously not as nervous as she was when she saw Ma Qijun before. Perhaps it was because she had made up her mind to take life seriously.
Ma Qijun stared at her in fascination through the rearview mirror. Her eyes, which were originally big and round, were now full of stars. With her neat short hair, she looked a lot more lively.
"Brother Ma, why are you going to the county? If it's just to give me a ride, then that would be too much of a trouble for you." Ye Xiaomei suddenly remembered this. How could it be such a coincidence that she met him at the entrance of the village? He must have something of his own to do.
"No trouble, let's go to the county hospital for a re-examination." Ma Qijun was originally told to go to a big hospital in the city. This would be the last time to confirm his leg. If the result was not good, he would not be able to save his leg.
Going to the county was just to get all the medical examination reports from the past few days for diagnosis at the city's Army General Hospital.
Ye Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Such a good thing ended up like this, and she always had no money to buy the medicines she was missing.
Ye Xiaomei looked at the receding mountain scenery outside the window and couldn't help but clench her sleeves. She hoped that Brother Ma's leg would get better.
After taking a ride today, Ye Xiaomei arrived at the county early. There were already many stalls set up on both sides of the road, but there were still many vacancies in good locations.
"Brother Ma, I'll go to the county hospital to find you when I'm done selling." Ye Xiaomei waved at the passenger seat with her back to the bamboo building, smiling sweetly:
"I want to take a ride."
Seeing her happy face, Ma Qijun felt much brighter after not sleeping the previous night: "Well, OK."
Ye Xiaomei looked around and saw that the big poplar tree on the roadside had been occupied by a shoe repairman, but Ye Xiaomei could occupy that small piece of shady land.
Take out the lotus leaves, make a hole in one and use it to cover your head, and use two to cover the washbasin.
"I'm buying loaches. You have to pay a stall fee if you squeeze in here." The old shoe repairman curiously lifted her lotus leaf and kindly reminded her.
"Ah?" Ye Xiaomei didn't expect this.
"One dollar." The eldest man stretched out a finger, pulled out the cigarette stick on his waist, tapped it on the shoe heel a few times, and leisurely lit a wand of cigarette.
Ye Xiaomei clenched her back teeth. It hurt to pay a dollar before the shop even opened.
Before Ye Xiaomei could even shout a few times, the sound of a motorcycle was heard from the street.
Ye Xiaomei didn't respond. She only saw the old man beside her open the dirty wooden box that couldn't be seen its original color, put the messy things in it, and walked away with it on his back:
"Girl, it's not easy to do business. If you help me occupy this stall, I will give you fifty cents in return."
"..." Is there such a plan? It seems that the master is trying to avoid paying the booth fee.
But thinking that saving fifty cents was a good deal, he agreed immediately. Then he saw the old man walking along the ditch and going around to the street, instantly turning into an ordinary person.
Ye Xiaomei took out some bills from her pocket and waited for them to be brought to her.
"Hey, Aunt Zhang, were you here yesterday as well? Just give me a chance to make up for yesterday."
"I...I didn't come yesterday. My daughter-in-law gave birth and I didn't go out to the stall."
Ye Xiaomei looked over and saw that Zhang Changjiang and the yellow-haired man were arguing with an old lady in her fifties or sixties, each on a motorcycle.
"Hey, you little old lady, are you still lying? My brother clearly saw you coming yesterday. Tell me, are you hiding on purpose?"
Zhang Changjiang rolled up his sleeves and got off the motorcycle.
Aunt Zhang looked embarrassed, not knowing where to put her hands: "I... I'm running a pork stall, can I... can I run around dragging a half-pig's body around at my age?"
Ye Xiaomei's heart beat faster as she looked at Zhang Changjiang who was making trouble. This guy was not someone to be trifled with.
She was not going to save the fifty cents from the shoe repairman, nor was she going to make any money. She quickly packed up the two washbasins and put them in the basket, then put it on her back and was about to leave.
"Oh my god, Ye Xiaomei, look how destined we are to meet again."
