Chapter 122: Indulging others and putting yourself at risk
"Uncle, aunt, I can't eat any more eggs. These steamed buns are very good, soft and delicious. I can have one."
Ye Siran knew that if she didn't eat anything, her uncle and aunt would definitely think that she didn't treat them as her own family.
So she picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, smiled and praised it, saying that in fact the steamed bun was not as delicious as the one she made.
When Uncle Ye saw his niece sitting at the table eating steamed buns, he happily ate the braised pork and white flour buns, his eyes narrowed with satisfaction.
Aunt Ye, however, had no appetite. She was worried that those people would report them. Her family had ended up in this situation because of reports from others.
At that time, she felt like the sky was falling. She was overwhelmed with grief and anger, and her health deteriorated.
She could endure the unfair treatment she suffered in the previous few years because she was still young and had never been tortured by illness.
But things are different now. She has had a near-death experience and never wants to go back to the time when she was hungry, cold and bullied.
Uncle Ye took one look at his wife's sad face and knew that she was afraid.
He sighed and advised: "Don't worry, we are capable of protecting us."
"Uncle is right, you neighbors are nothing to be afraid of. They have no backing and can't cause any trouble.
The reason they came out together to attack today was nothing more than a grievance among acquaintances.
If your uncle and aunt are still the same as before, they will think you are poor and don't want to associate with you.
Nowadays you eat meat frequently and they hate you for being rich. Most of your acquaintances may wish you well, but they don’t want you to be better than them. ”
"Yes, Ranran is right. It's my aunt who was overthinking." Aunt Ye suddenly understood.
"I've always said that Ranran brought so much food here, so you should eat as much as you can and don't be too frugal." Uncle Ye counselled his wife with a smile.
"Uncle is right. If I can afford it, I'm not afraid of being reported by others. Besides, they don't dare to report it. You will eat meat every day in the future, and they will be jealous to death." Ye Siran said with a smile.
Aunt Ye finally relaxed, she smiled and joked, "Of course, you didn't know that your uncle used to have mysophobia.
He would never eat the braised pork that the naughty kid had grabbed, but now, as you can see, he was eating it happily and even pouring the soup on the steamed buns. ”
"Haha... Uncle was also hungry when he was young, but after being in a high position for a long time, he gradually developed the habit of not eating unclean things."
Uncle Ye was always in a good mood whenever he saw his niece. The three of them also talked about Uncle Ye Er and Ye Siran's cousins.
"I often correspond with my brothers. They said that the meat sauce I made was delicious. I sent a few bottles of meat sauce to my brothers today."
"Ranran, auntie is going to make some..." Uncle interrupted auntie before she could finish her words.
"Don't bother yourself now that you're feeling better. Besides, the meat sauce you make isn't as delicious as Ranran's. Hehe, I'm the only one who doesn't mind."
Uncle Ye criticized his wife with a silly smile, saying that the color of the braised pork cooked by his wife was not as good as that cooked by his niece, and the taste was also very different.
But now he is no longer picky about food. He has meat and wine every day and lives like a god.
His wife hasn't touched water for more than twenty years. Now that she can help him cook soup, how dare he not give her face!
At the beginning, the food his wife cooked was really hard to swallow, but when he was extremely hungry, he would eat anything.
The eldest aunt also knew her own limitations, so she didn't say what food she was going to cook for her son and nephew.
"During the New Year, I will come to pick up uncle and aunt to go to the farm to meet grandpa and grandma." Ye Siran said quietly before leaving.
Ye Zhanyang and his wife looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. After five years, they could finally see their parents.
Ye Siran returned to the village. On the way, she met some elderly people in the village and some people who were not working for special reasons. They all greeted her with a smile.
"Is Ye Zhiqing off work?"
"Ye Zhiqing is back."
"Yeah." Ye Siran also greeted with a smile, but she didn't take anything out for everyone.
After she walked away, an auntie lowered her voice and said, "Did you see that? The bag on the back seat of Ye Zhiqing's bicycle is bulging. There must be good stuff inside."
"Aunt Li, what do you mean by this? Do you want others to give it to you to eat?" A young daughter-in-law who was taking care of the children at home and not working also asked in a low voice.
"You'd better not let Ye Zhiqing hear it. The sweet potato leaves we eat today are the seeds bought by Ye Zhiqing. You'd better not be ungrateful." An old man warned in a low voice.
"Haha, how could that be! I was just saying it casually." The aunt explained awkwardly.
"You can't just say it casually. Didn't you hear what the village chief said? This year our village got tens of thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes for free. Can you imagine what that means?"
"Oh my God! Tens of thousands of kilograms? Won't we starve this winter?" the young daughter-in-law asked in surprise.
"In this way, our Gaotang Village will definitely not go hungry this year. This is all thanks to Ye Zhiqing."
"Ye Zhiqing is a great benefactor to our village. Haha, I must be more enthusiastic when I see her next time."
“…”
No matter how softly the villagers spoke, Ye Siran could hear them clearly. She never expected that all the villagers would like her.
So she never gave food to the villagers privately. After all, there were many people here, and giving each person several kilograms of food would cost several kilograms!
Although she did, she just didn't want to pamper others and put herself in a difficult position.
Wen Lin's family is so wealthy, she must have died here in her previous life, even if her father and brother had the ability to help her take revenge.
But she is already dead, what's the use of revenge!
She didn't want to be hated by the villagers for giving this and not that.
The greatest help she could give to the villagers was to lead them to reclaim wasteland and plant sweet potatoes.
It is better to teach a man how to fish than to teach him how to fish. She will never do anything that is thankless.
She never gave food to the villagers, even to the children, and she never gave any candy, but the villagers were still very grateful to her.
If you give things to please others, you may get a few words of praise in person, but people will still gossip about you behind your back.
They would feel that she didn't give enough, and become resentful, which would have been worse than not giving anything in the first place.
For example, Xia Tiantian hated Wen Lin from the beginning, and now she only hates her in her heart. When she saw that Jian Yueshi couldn't do anything to Wen Lin, she wanted to please her instead.
But Xia Tiantian used to try to please Jian Yueshi, but now that Jian Yueshi didn't give her food, she hated Jian Yueshi to the core and said bad things about her behind Jian Yueshi's back.
"Ye Zhiqing is back. Xiao Zhiqing, quickly get some water for your sister Ranran to wash her hands." Wen Lin shouted towards the cave when she saw Ye Siran coming back.
Then she turned around and said with a smile: "We are going to have fried sweet potato leaves with oil residue tonight, it smells so good!"
"Well, I can smell the fragrance from far away." Ye Siran said to Jian Yueshi with a smile. She was very polite to those who didn't want her things.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Xia Tiantian staring at Jian Yueshi, with cruelty and bloodthirsty desire flashing in her eyes...
