Although Ye Qing didn't see Xu Ying, he learned from Xi Quan that Xu Ying had already run away, so Ye Qing knew he had to be careful too.
Xu Ying's parents, who are Ye Qing's uncle and aunt, may not know where Xu Ying is, but Xu Ying is able to run back.
Moreover, Xu Ying had been detained in Anding Hospital for so long. Now that she was able to escape, the smart thing to do is to go far away and not be found again.
The unwise thing to do is to keep courting disaster.
Even if Xu Ying wants to continue courting death, it's almost Chinese New Year, so she should probably wait until after the New Year to do so, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing was less nervous, but she didn't relax. After parting ways with Xi Quan, she returned to the shop and thought for a long time before deciding to call Xiaoyao Village to see if her uncle and aunt were there after they came out.
Since her uncle's house didn't have a phone, Ye Qing called the village committee of Xiaoyao Village.
The person who answered the phone was also a little excited when they heard it was Ye Qing: "Oh, it's Ye Qing! The New Year is almost here, are you coming back?"
"I want to go back, but my uncle and the others..." Ye Qing deliberately left his sentence unfinished, to see what the other person would say.
Sure enough, when the other party heard Ye Qing say this, he sighed, "That's right. Your uncle, your aunt, and Ziqiang's mother have all come back. They suffered such a big loss. If you come back, it will be troublesome for them too."
I said before that you weren't old enough, but now that the New Year is over, are you old enough to get married? I heard that your cousin Xu Ying knows where you are, right?
Your cousin didn't look as pretty as before when she came back this time. I wonder what happened to her. Your uncle and aunt are so worried about her. Judging from your uncle's expression, it looked like he was about to start a fight.
They were all from the same village and had watched Ye Qing grow up. There were some things that were difficult to say in front of Ye Qing's uncle and aunt, but now that they were on the phone, they weren't afraid of anything and said some words of concern for Ye Qing.
The information from what the other person said was enough for Ye Qing, but because the other person was also concerned about him, Ye Qing exchanged a few more pleasantries with them before hanging up the phone.
My uncle and aunt really came out and returned to Xiaoyao Village!
After escaping from Anding Hospital, Xu Ying returned to Xiaoyao Village!
Now Ye Qing has accumulated quite a few old and new grudges with them.
Although Xi Quan was the one who put Xu Ying in Anding Hospital, Ye Qing knew that Xu Ying would definitely hold him accountable. He was used to having many problems, and he didn't care about having too many debts. Anyway, he had many old and new grudges with his uncle's family, so Ye Qing wasn't afraid of adding another one.
So let them blame me if they want, it really doesn't matter, because even if they don't blame me, they probably won't let me off easily.
After making the call, Ye Qing was somewhat prepared, but the good thing was that they probably wouldn't come looking for him before the Chinese New Year.
This gave Ye Qing a chance to catch his breath and make some money before the Lunar New Year.
Before the opening, Ye Qing had already designed a considerable number of clothes and made some of them. Now, the two tailors are making the clothes that Ye Qing had designed but had not yet finished, in the absence of new orders.
Although not many people came to Ye Qing's shop to make custom-made clothes, quite a few people bought ready-made clothes, so in the end, she made a considerable profit.
Moreover, the knitting factory worked overtime to finish all the uniforms for Xi Quan's company on the 28th day of the Lunar New Year. After they passed inspection, they notified Sister Liu that she could receive the goods before she went on holiday.
After the quality inspector at the knitting factory and Sister Liu both approved the work, Ye Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving the final payment from Sister Liu and getting her salary, Ye Qing was extremely excited as she counted the money she had earned.
This time, he earned a considerable amount of money, but it wasn't as much as the dividends he received from the Xiaoyao Village coal mine back then. However, it held a different significance for Ye Qing.
The dividends from the Xiaoyao Village coal mine were somewhat of an unexpected surprise, and the money earned from producing and manufacturing uniforms this time was entirely earned by Ye Qing himself. Moreover, a fire almost broke out during the process, nearly causing an accident.
Therefore, this money held a more unique significance for Ye Qing.
Before the bank closed for the holiday, Ye Qing deposited the money and returned to the shop. Before she could calm down, she encountered a couple of strangers at the shop entrance.
Ye Qing was slightly taken aback, then realized who these strangers were.
Just as she was dazed, wondering how to greet him, the other person also saw Ye Qing and quickly came up to her: "Ye Qing, right?"
Ye Qing nodded, pushed open the shop door and went in. Although he didn't stand on ceremony, the two strangers followed him into the shop.
The wages had all been paid, and since the people who came in with him clearly had something to discuss with him, Ye Qing told the two tailors to leave first: "You don't need to come tomorrow. We'll be open for business again on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. If you don't want to come after the New Year, please let me know in advance so I can find you."
In the 1990s, almost no one opened their businesses during the Lunar New Year. Businesses usually didn't open until after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. It wasn't like in the 1920s and 30s, when the Lunar New Year was a good time to make money.
"No, I'll definitely come."
The two young ladies were telling the truth. Working for Ye Qing was not tiring, and they earned quite a bit of money. They didn't want to do that kind of work anymore.
Since the other party said so, Ye Qing didn't stand on ceremony anymore.
After the two young ladies left, Ye Qing looked at the two strangers who had followed him into the store. To be honest, Ye Qing's conversation with the two young ladies earlier wasn't really necessary. Ye Qing did it on purpose, wanting to take this opportunity to rehearse in his mind how to talk to them later.
Now that the two young ladies had left, Ye Qing couldn't keep them hanging any longer. Pretending not to know them at all, she asked directly, "Did you come here specifically to see me? But I don't seem to remember knowing you."
“We are Liu Wei’s parents.”
"Oh!" Ye Qing pretended to suddenly realize, and then said politely, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, what can I do for you?"
"Liu Wei...we apologize to you on her behalf for what she did."
Ye Qing was surprised: "Why are you apologizing to me? Liu Wei and I used to have conflicts, but we haven't had any since she moved out of the dormitory. Auntie, I don't deserve your apology."
Liu Wei's mother tried to grab Ye Qing's hand, but Ye Qing flinched: "Auntie, what exactly do you want to say?"
Liu Wei's mother glanced at her husband and said, "Liu Wei... We've inquired, but there's no conclusive evidence that Liu Wei set the fire. Why don't you talk to the police and let's just drop this matter?"
Ye Qing wasn't surprised that the police hadn't found conclusive evidence. After all, if Quan Zhen and Ye Shuwei were involved, they wouldn't have been so careless. Even if they weren't involved, if the police found even a little evidence, they would still be able to trace it back to them.
Ye Qing was surprised by Liu Wei's parents' attitude.
