Her clear, slightly delicate voice drew surprised and puzzled glances from Li Xiuying's family.
Ye Xue seemed unaffected by what she was seeing and entered the courtyard with a smile.
She actually knew Li Xiuying; she had argued with Ye Yun before. Asking her now was both polite and made her seem harmless.
"Who are you?" Guo Youcai looked at Ye Xue curiously.
He had never met this woman before, but she was quite pretty, with fair skin, and even more beautiful than his fiancée.
Guo Laoda also looked Ye Xue up and down with surprise, feeling that she looked somewhat familiar.
Guo Lao Er looked Ye Xue up and down with surprise in his eyes. Soon, he turned to look at his dark and thin wife behind him, a hint of disdain in his eyes. But when he looked at Ye Xue, there was a hint of frivolity in his eyes.
Li Xiuying glanced at Ye Xue and suddenly realized that she wasn't a member of the Ye family.
"You're from the Ye family, right? What are you doing here?"
Li Xiuying now dislikes Ye Yun and even Ye Xue, but with this interruption, she still let her second son's wife off the hook for now.
*Smack!* The second son's wife slapped him on the head. "What are you looking at?!"
Guo Lao Er was stunned by the blow, and immediately retorted angrily, "What are you doing? If you hit my head again, do you believe I'll beat you to death, you tiger woman!"
This was the first time the second son's wife had ever seen him with such an expression, and she immediately fell silent.
Ignoring the stares of others, Ye Xue focused solely on Li Xiuying. Smiling, she walked over and took the half-brick that Li Xiuying was holding high, saying considerately, "Auntie, what if you hurt your hand carrying this? Give it to me."
As she spoke, she carefully placed the brick aside.
Li Xiuying looked at Ye Xue with suspicion. Wasn't this Ye Yun's family? What were they doing here?
Who are you?
The second son's wife disliked Ye Xue from the start. This girl was like a vixen; she had bewitched her second son the moment she arrived!
Ye Xue completely ignored the second son's wife, and only smiled at Li Xiuying, saying, "Auntie, I know what you're angry about. Don't you want to get all that grain and Qin Zheng back?"
What?
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuying immediately became very interested and looked at Ye Xue.
She dreamed of Qin Zheng returning to her.
Ever since Qin Zheng left, she hasn't had a single good day!
Seeing Li Xiuying's expression, Ye Xue knew she had taken the bait. She calmly said, "Auntie, as long as you follow my instructions, I have a way to get all the grain that was taken away and Qin Zheng back to you."
Li Xiuying's eyes were sharp, and she asked warily, "Do you really have a way?"
Of course there are.
Ye Xue smiled and said, "Auntie, to tell you the truth, my sister is just being unreasonable. She encouraged my brother-in-law to leave, and our family has quite a few complaints about this. Today, I'd like to apologize to you on behalf of our Ye family. Please don't forget it, okay?"
Apologize?
Li Xiuying was completely taken aback by Ye Xue's understanding nature and was speechless.
Knowing Li Xiuying's weakness, Ye Xue took her arm and continued to coax her, "But my sister is soft-hearted. Tomorrow I'll go with you to my sister's house to talk to them. We'll talk to them properly, and I'll speak on your behalf. That way, we can not only solve your youngest son's job problem, but also ask them for some food. Is that okay?"
OK!
Why not!
Looking at Ye Xue's well-behaved appearance, Li Xiuying couldn't help but sigh, "You two sisters, what a difference! You're so thoughtful, much better than your older sister!"
Ye Xue smiled shyly.
However, Li Xiuying wasn't stupid. She looked Ye Xue up and down and asked without any pretense, "But sister-in-law, why did you come here?"
Why?
Why else could it be? Of course, it's because you're Qin Zheng's biological mother!
Ye Xue had no idea that Qin Zheng had severed ties with Li Xiuying. She assumed Li Xiuying was just being wary and said with a smile, "Auntie, you don't know this, but actually I... I want to be your daughter-in-law..."
Daughter-in-law?
Upon hearing this word, Li Xiuying's eyes widened in surprise.
Ye Xue glanced shyly at Li Xiuying, clutching her clothes, and looked at Li Xiuying bashfully with a flushed face.
Li Xiuying looked at her uncertainly, then glanced back at the dumbfounded Guo Youcai.
Isn't her unmarried son Guo Youcai?
Besides, when she went to the Ye family to propose marriage to Qin Zheng, Ye Xue refused to marry him and even sent Ye Yun over instead.
So, Ye Xue was attracted to their family's wealth.
Li Xiuying understood instantly, patted Ye Xue's hand and said, "Good girl, don't worry, your aunt will definitely not let you down."
Ye Xue thought Li Xiuying understood her feelings, and became even more shy.
Guo Youcai looked at his mother in astonishment, then at Ye Xue, and hurriedly blurted out, "Mother, I have..."
"Don't speak."
Li Xiuying raised her hand and slapped Guo Youcai across the mouth, telling him to shut up.
Now that she finally has someone to help her deal with that little vixen Ye Yun and bring Qin Zheng back, she can't let him get away with it.
Guo Youcai wants to say that he has a girlfriend!
Although he admitted that Ye Xue was more beautiful than his girlfriend, he only liked his girlfriend!
However, Li Xiuying glared at him sternly, silencing him.
Li Xiuying thought that no matter what, she should keep Ye Xue here first and get Qin Zheng back first!
As for Ye Xue?
Aside from being pretty, she really couldn't stand Ye Xue, that little bitch.
Yes, in her eyes, Ye Xue and Ye Yun were both little bitches, with no money or ability, how could they compare to the one her youngest son had found on his own?
That girl's family runs a legitimate tofu business!
"Xiaoxue, since you're going to help me talk to your sister tomorrow, why don't you stay at my place tonight?" Li Xiuying pretended to be friendly and pulled her into the house.
Ye Xue readily agreed.
That evening, after finishing her dinner, Ye Yun watched Tian Xiaohui leave, but Ye Xue didn't return. After washing up, she locked the door and went back to her room.
However.
The next day, not long after they got up, Ye Yun, Qin Xiang'e and the others had just finished breakfast and were helping Qin Zheng out to bask in the sun when they saw Ye Xue walking towards their house, arm in arm with Li Xiuying.
"Sigh, it's like a persistent ghost!"
Tian Xiaohui has good eyesight and spotted Ye Xue and Li Xiuying from afar.
Ye Yun glanced around and silently cast a look at Qin Zheng: Qin Zheng, what do you think?
Qin Zheng: "..."
He doesn't really care.
He had no relationship with Li Xiuying anymore, but Li Xiuying still kept coming to see him.
Seriously, are you just bored out of your mind?
Ye Yun ran away at night and wanted Tian Xiaohui to invite Lü Guohua, but judging from the situation at the time, Lü Guohua was probably not going to make it.
She gave Tian Xiaohui a wink.
Tian Xiaohui immediately put down her work, rode off in a hurry on her old bicycle.
While Ye Yun exchanged glances with the others, Ye Xue took Li Xiuying's arm, and the two of them, looking like mother and daughter, stepped through the gate of the Qin family's house.
