Chapter 110
Hearing the noise outside, Ye's father and mother came out of the house.
They were also worried that Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao would not come back today. They had already thought about how they would talk about them in front of outsiders if they really did not come back, and how they would ruin their reputation.
Now, seeing Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao coming back, Ye's father and mother felt much more relieved.
Looking at the smiles on Ye's father and mother's faces, Ye Fuyue knew that these two people were probably going to cause trouble again.
She hadn't seen Ye's parents since they visited the compound last time. They looked much more haggard and older, probably because they were worried about Ye Yu going to the countryside.
However, she was not afraid of Ye's father and mother causing trouble.
Ye Fuyue collected her thoughts and handed over the pound of brown sugar in her hand: "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year."
Seeing that this was the thing Ye Fuyue brought back to her parents' home, both Ye's father and mother looked a little unhappy.
But soon, those unhappy expressions disappeared.
Mother Ye took a pound of brown sugar and said, "As long as you're back, it doesn't matter what you bring."
"Yes, it's not important." Father Ye echoed, "Come inside and sit down. It's cold outside."
Chen Yao and Ye Fuyue looked at each other and followed Ye's father and mother into the house.
There was no festive atmosphere in the house. On the contrary, compared to when Ye Fuyue got married, the house was much emptier and lacked many things.
Ye Fuyue glanced at the kitchen specifically.
The kitchen was also empty, with no food on it. It seemed that Ye's parents had no intention of having them eat here.
Ye's mother poured a bowl of hot water for Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao respectively, and sat down next to Ye's father.
Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao did not move, waiting for Ye's father and mother to talk about business.
"Hurry up and drink some hot water to warm yourself up." Father Ye said in a fake polite manner.
"We're not cold." Ye Fuyue said, "My mother-in-law made me a new cotton-padded jacket. I haven't worn a new one in a long time, and I almost forgot how warm it is. On this journey, not only am I not cold at all, I'm even sweating a little."
Ye's father and mother had already noticed Ye Fuyue's new cotton-padded jacket.
Seeing that Ye Fuyue was living so well, the two of them thought of their son who was far away in the countryside and felt very uncomfortable.
Father Ye sighed pretentiously, "You and Fuyun are both married, and your brother is in the countryside. This year, it's just your mother and I at home for the New Year, and it's so lonely. I originally wrote to your brother, asking him to come back for the New Year, but he said that the leader of their brigade is a piece of shit and won't let him come back. So he can only spend the New Year alone in the educated youth camp in misery."
"He spent the New Year alone at the educated youth camp?" Ye Fuyue asked.
"Yes! Your brother has a very hard life there. He has never had a full meal and has to work in the fields every day." The more Ye's mother spoke, the more distressed she felt.
"That's strange. He's not the only educated youth in the educated youth center. Since the team leader allows others to come back for the New Year, why doesn't he let him come back for the New Year? I'm afraid he has offended all the villagers and the team leader in the countryside, so the locals are targeting him like this." Ye Fuyue said.
"Your brother is just a child. Even if he did something wrong or said something wrong, he didn't mean it. How could those peasants hold a grudge against your brother!" Ye's mother said indignantly.
Ye Fuyue laughed in her heart.
Anyway, she didn't care what Ye Yu did in the countryside to make him so annoying. Ye's father and mother thought that Ye Yu was still a child, so he was just a child, and reality would always teach him a lesson.
"Your father and I have been trying to find a job for Ye Yu and bring him back to the city. We've contacted many people. We're so anxious and worried about your brother, we just want him to come back soon. Someone said that if we can pay a thousand yuan, he can arrange a job for your brother in the factory and let him return to the city smoothly."
"Your dad and I trusted him so much that we scraped together a thousand yuan to give him. Who knew he was a scammer? He took our money and disappeared! We even went to the factory, but they told us there was no such person. That's when your dad and I realized we'd been scammed! We even reported it to the police, but they said even if they found him, they wouldn't guarantee we'd get our money back, so we had to be prepared."
"It's the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the police still haven't caught the perpetrators. The thousand yuan we were scammed out of is completely gone! Your dad and I are so worried sick that we have no mood to celebrate the Lunar New Year!"
Ye Fuyue finally understood why the Ye family had no New Year atmosphere at all and the house was so empty.
She didn't doubt what Ye's mother said at all.
Ye Yu is the lifeblood of Ye's father and mother. It is not surprising that Ye's father and mother were deceived because they were too anxious for the sake of their lives.
Father Ye sighed and said, "Now our family is in such a state. We have no money left and are in debt. More importantly, your brother's return to the city is uncertain."
Mother Ye looked at Ye Fuyue and said, "Mom and Dad know that you have been the most filial since you were a child. You are completely different from your sister. Look at the time now, and your sister hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid she didn't plan to go back to her parents' home today. It's good for you that you still care about this family."
Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao didn't say anything and didn't react at all. They were waiting for Ye's father and mother to get to the point.
Father Ye rubbed his hands and said, "Fuyue, your mother and I are very pleased to see that you are living such a good life now. But this year, our family has been very difficult. The creditors have come to our house several times. Can you lend your parents some money to help them get through the current difficulties?"
Mother Ye nodded in agreement: "Yes! After the debt is paid off and life at home is good, your father and I will return the money to you."
"How much do you want to borrow?" Ye Fuyue asked without any emotion.
"Three hundred." said Ye's father.
Ye Fuyue wanted to laugh.
Three hundred is enough? I'm afraid the current three hundred is just the beginning, there will be more three hundred waiting for her later. Besides, don't think that her parents will really return it to him.
She didn't know how much money the Ye family owed outside the city, given their current situation. But as long as Ye's father and mother didn't give up the idea of letting Ye Yu return to the city, the Ye family would become a bottomless pit.
"I don't have a job, so where would I get the money? You should ask my husband about this." Ye Fuyue said.
Before Shen Yao finished speaking, Ye's mother spoke again.
"I heard that you draw furniture designs for the furniture factory and make some money every month."
Ye Fuyue sneered: "I didn't realize you cared about me so much, and you knew so much about my affairs."
Mother Ye said awkwardly, "You are my daughter, so naturally I am concerned about your affairs."
Ye Fuyue teased, "Of course. Since you're planning to borrow money from me, you have to find out everything about me, right?"
