Whether in her past life or this one, Ye Yun had only heard of the place name Lin'an very rarely; the last time she heard of it was only in Yejiagou.
Lin'an is a well-developed place; I've heard they have many high-rise buildings there.
What's puzzling is that their lives are much better and their development potential is much greater than here, so why would business people from their side come to do business in such a remote place?
Qin Zheng was not happy. "So, they left my wife waiting here for so long, and then they just said they weren't coming?"
Tan Zongguang knew Qin Zheng was unhappy, and said awkwardly, "That is indeed the case, but please let me explain. My father said that in order to express his apology to you, he will do your mung bean cake business unconditionally. Once his restaurant opens, he will source the cakes from your store and supply them to you every day."
Qin Zheng's expression darkened slightly; he didn't care about business at all.
It's so late at night, and the other party made Ye Yun's wife wait at the door for so long, freezing cold, and then they just said they weren't coming. How can they be so disrespectful?
Ye Yun gently tugged at Qin Zheng's sleeve and whispered, "Don't worry, maybe something really urgent has happened to them."
Qin Zheng's expression was still not good, and he looked at her, asking if she wanted to go home.
Ye Yun also felt it was getting late, so she turned to Tan Zongguang and said, "In that case, Teacher Tan, I'll go back with my wife first. If that boss comes back, please let me know."
Tan Zongguang nodded repeatedly.
Qin Zheng kicked away the old bicycle, dusted off the back seat, and then let Ye Yun sit down.
Once Ye Yun sat down and wrapped her arms around his waist, he stepped on the pedals and carried her away from Tan Zongguang's sight.
Tan Zongguang remained standing, staring blankly in the direction Qin Zheng and Ye Yun had left.
He remained in a daze for a long time until Qin Zheng and Ye Yun disappeared from his sight. It wasn't until someone in the restaurant reminded him that he was blocking the entrance that he smiled sheepishly and quickly moved his bicycle aside. However, he couldn't help but glance in the direction where Qin Zheng and Ye Yun had left.
At that moment, he realized what a perfect match looked like in books.
It got dark very quickly.
Fortunately, it was nearing the middle of the month, and the official roads in the mountains were relatively open. The moonlight shining on the roads allowed people returning home late to see the way. By the time they got home, it was already past nine o'clock.
Qin Xiang'e had already gone to sleep. Hearing the noise, she put on her undershirt and opened the door to greet them.
Upon learning that Ye Yun had not finished eating, Qin Xiang'e hurriedly lit a kerosene lamp and went to the kitchen to get Ye Yun something to eat.
Ye Yun waved her hand, saying that she didn't want to eat anything serious.
Qin Zheng understood what she meant, so he told Qin Xiang'e to go and rest. Afterward, he personally started a fire and cooked two thin steamed buns, and put two pieces of fermented bean curd into a bowl.
Ye Yun ate the simple meal, her eyes crinkling with happiness.
Although it wasn't anything fancy, she found the meal delicious. The flavor of the fermented bean curd tantalized her taste buds, and the thin steamed buns were quite filling. Afterward, she drank a large bowl of warm water, and feeling comfortable, she let out a satisfied sigh.
Qin Zheng was starting to worry.
How can you eat only fermented tofu every day? Fermented tofu clearly has little nutritional value.
At this moment, Qin Zheng racked his brains, wondering if there was any nutritious food that Ye Yun could eat without feeling nauseous.
...
The next day, Ye Yun was half asleep when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
She didn't open her eyes, but just turned over and wanted to continue sleeping. Since becoming pregnant, she had been a bit sleepy and lacked energy. In addition, she went to bed late at 10 pm last night, so she probably wouldn't be able to get enough sleep until after 10 pm today.
Suddenly, Liu Meilan's shrill and piercing voice rang out from outside: "Ye Yun! Come out here!"
"Stop shouting! What does this have to do with Yun? Go back!"
Ye Jian'an's loud voice also came through.
Amid the noisy conversation, Qin Xiang'e's words of persuasion seemed to be mixed in. Ye Yun was instantly wide awake. She slowly got up and looked out of the small window into the courtyard.
Liu Meilan was seen making a scene in her yard, looking furious. It was unclear what had happened.
But she looked like she was about to rush into the house and hit her, but fortunately Ye Jian'an, Qin Xiang'e and Tian Xiaohui stopped her.
Ye Jianan hugged Liu Meilan's waist.
Qin Xiang'e and Tian Xiaohui stood in front, spreading their arms to block Liu Meilan.
"In-laws, my wife hasn't woken up yet. Can't you talk about it after she's awake?" Qin Xiang'e said earnestly while trying to stop her.
Liu Meilan wasn't having it, spitting out, "Pah! Your wife and kids sleeping is a big deal! Do you even know what I'm talking about?! My daughter's gone missing! It's all your wife's fault!"
"What?"
Qin Xiang'e clearly hadn't expected Liu Meilan to rush over because of this, and quickly looked at Ye Jian'an, who was also blocking Liu Meilan.
Ye Jian'an looked worried; Ye Xue's disappearance was causing him great distress!
Whoosh!
The door to the main room was flung open, and Ye Yun stepped out. The struggling Liu Meilan, Ye Jian'an, and Qin Xiang'e who were blocking her all turned their gazes toward her in an instant.
Ye Yun frowned slightly. "Uncle, Ye Xue is missing? What happened?"
The moment Ye Jian'an saw Ye Yun, his eyes lit up. "Yun girl, have you seen your sister?"
"Ye Yun! You've ruined my daughter! You worthless wretch!" Liu Meilan was about to rush at Ye Yun, but luckily Ye Jian'an grabbed her from the side.
Ye Jian'an's face darkened. He pulled Liu Meilan behind him and scolded, "Alright! I told you before we came that we were just here to ask! We agreed not to cause trouble, but you still are! Xiaoxue's disappearance has nothing to do with Yun'er! What are you making a scene for!"
Liu Meilan was sobbing after being yelled at like that that she dared not shout anymore.
Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Ye Jian'an, panting heavily, looked at Ye Yun, forced a smile, and lowered his voice as if afraid of scaring Ye Yun, saying, "Yun girl, it's like this, yesterday the school issued a notice saying that she has been expelled from elementary school. She was fine last night, but this morning your aunt went in to call her for breakfast, and who knew that when she opened the door..."
Then there was no one left.
As Ye Jianan spoke, his eyes also welled up with tears.
He used to think he would never become like his father, who forced his sister to run away from home. But now, how did the problem of his daughter running away from home fall on him?
What terrible things did their family do?
Ye Yun was a little surprised that Ye Xue had actually been expelled from school.
This was completely unexpected.
Liu Meilan glared at Ye Yun with resentment, cursing, "It's all your fault, you good-for-nothing, you little bitch... If you hadn't been constantly cursing at your sister and sending her home, would she have thought of running away from home?"
Ye Yun frowned.
Looking at Liu Meilan's resentful eyes, she couldn't help but laugh in anger, and said coldly, "You've got it wrong, haven't you? Your daughter ran away from home, and instead of chasing after her, you come to my house to chase after me and bite me. Are you sick in the head?"
