"Yun girl!"
Ye Yun heard a familiar shout from not far away. She turned her head and saw Ye Jian'an riding his old bicycle and stopping at the bottom of the slope.
She was slightly taken aback. How did her uncle find his way here?
Seeing that he had found the right place, Ye Jian'an pedaled his old bicycle up the hill with great enthusiasm, quickly entered the yard, and handed the bundle on the back seat to Ye Yun.
"Yun girl, I bought you some new clothes," Ye Jian'an said with a smile.
He rode his old bicycle all the way from Yejiagou, his forehead covered in a thin layer of sweat. He lifted his vest to wipe it off, revealing a face etched with wrinkles from years of wind and sun, dark and tanned, yet filled with a loving smile for his juniors.
He came over specifically because he heard that Ye Yun had gone home to pack her things.
Ye Yun clutched the bundle in her hands, somewhat incredulous. "Uncle, did you buy this?"
"Yes, I bought it!" Ye Jian'an noticed her doubt, wiped his sweat, and quickly added, "I bought it with my own salary. We just got paid yesterday at the factory. Your aunt knows I bought you clothes, but she didn't say anything. From now on, I won't give her any money to manage anymore, so you can wear it without worry!"
"ah?"
"Hey, she wasn't willing at first either, so I locked her in the room. She even tried to argue with me, but I didn't want to argue with her. I just said: 'If we can make it work, great; if not, we'll get a divorce!'" Ye Jian'an said with confidence, patting his chest, "As soon as she heard I wanted a divorce, she didn't dare to do it! Don't worry, girl, your uncle is in charge now!"
Ye Yun was speechless with astonishment.
Oh...yes.
These days, couples can fight, and one can get beaten up, but they just don't dare to get divorced!
What is divorce?
In this backward era and in this backward mountain village, divorce was a very shameful thing. No matter how miserable life was, divorce was impossible!
So many people have taken poison, hanged themselves, or drowned themselves, but they just don't dare to go down the path of divorce...
Unexpectedly, the tragedy of an era became the key word in Ye Jian'an's normal management of his marriage.
"Where's Qin Zheng? Where are your family members?"
Ye Jian'an then noticed that the courtyard was unusually quiet. He looked behind Ye Yun and saw an old lady sitting in the sun at the entrance of the main room.
"This is Qin Zheng's grandmother."
Ye Yun explained.
"Grandma!" she called out to the old lady, pointing to Ye Jian'an beside her, and raised her voice, "This is my maternal uncle!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Jian'an quickly greeted her, "Grandma, I've come to see the girl!"
The old lady's cloudy eyes flickered, and she turned her head towards Ye Jian'an, obediently nudging her chin in his direction and saying, "Mmm!"
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.
The old lady responded quite well, but I wonder if she even saw Ye Jian'an.
"Uncle, come sit in the room!"
Ye Yun picked up her bundle and was about to go inside.
Ye Jian'an quickly grabbed her and waved his hand, "No, no, I just stopped by here while I was on my way to work. I have to go to work soon and be a gatekeeper!"
As he said this, there was a faint sense of pride on his face. For a farmer like him, having a proper job and an extra source of income was a really good feeling in a village where everyone could only tend to their small plot of land!
"Is Qin Zheng not home?" Ye Jian'an couldn't help but ask as he mounted his bicycle to leave.
Ye Yun asked, "Did he and his aunt go to the fields?"
"What?" Ye Jian'an looked puzzled and sized Ye Yun up and down. "The two of them, aunt and niece, went to the fields? They didn't call you? They just let you stay home and rest?"
Ye Yun blushed. How could she explain that Qin Zheng hadn't let her go?
"Uncle, I want to go too, but Qin Zheng won't let me..."
"..." Ye Jian'an clicked his tongue, unsure of what to say. "Alright, I could tell from that day that Qin Zheng really cares about you!"
Ye Yun chuckled.
"You've never enjoyed much happiness in our family, but now you've finally made it," Ye Jian'an said with great satisfaction, then couldn't help but sigh, "Compared to you, your sister's situation is hard to predict..."
Ye Xue?
Ye Yun's face turned cold. She hadn't even told Ye Jian'an about Ye Xue going to get abortion pills yet!
