Chapter 269
Old Mrs. Duan didn’t know if she understood or not, she kept saying “Wuwuwu, it hurts, it hurts.”
Duan's mother sighed again and went into the house to get medicine.
On the other side, Ye Fuyue watched Duan's mother help Old Lady Duan leave, and then she rode her bicycle back to the Shen family.
On the way, she met Ye Fuyun.
When Ye Fuyun saw Ye Fuyue, he did not look down on her or feel jealous as usual, but rather his eyes were somewhat evasive.
However, Ye Fuyue had always turned a blind eye to Ye Fuyun to avoid getting herself into trouble, so she did not notice anything unusual about Ye Fuyun.
Ye Fuyue rode her bicycle past Ye Fuyun and left. Ye Fuyun looked at Ye Fuyue's figure walking away and inexplicably felt relieved.
Ye Fuyun also went out to buy vegetables and just came back.
When Ye Fuyun returned to the Wu family with a basket of vegetables, Zhou Jinmei put her hands on her hips and scolded her.
"I asked you to go buy some groceries, but what took you so long? Long Fei and the others are almost back. If you don't come back to light the fire and cook, what are they going to eat?"
"There are too many people in the supply and marketing cooperative today. You have to queue up to buy anything, so it's late." Ye Fuyun said.
Zhou Jinmei snorted coldly and stretched out her hand: "What vegetables did you buy? Let me see."
Ye Fuyun handed the vegetable basket and the remaining 27 cents to Zhou Jinmei.
Zhou Jinmei asked as she rummaged through the basket: "How much is a pound of pakchoy? How much did you buy? How much is a pound of winter melon? How much did you buy?"
Ye Fuyun answered them one by one.
Zhou Jinmei calculated the price in her mind, compared it with the price of the dishes she had specifically inquired about from other aunts this morning, calculated the balance, and confirmed that Ye Fuyun did not lie and the remaining money given to her was correct. Zhou Jinmei's face looked a little better.
Zhou Jinmei suspected that the money Ye Fuyun used to spend on the hospital checkup was not given by her parents at all. Considering how poor Ye's parents were, it was already very good of them not to let Ye Fuyun spend the money. How could they possibly give Ye Fuyun money to get checked up? She suspected that the money was Ye Fuyun's own private savings.
Although she asked Ye Fuyun, Ye Fuyun refused to admit it and insisted that the money was given to her by her parents. Because of this, her parents always asked her for money and thought it was natural for her to give them money.
Ye Fuyun's parents hadn't visited him recently, so Zhou Jinmei couldn't confirm her suspicions. Therefore, she could only make more snacks herself and inquire about the prices of the dishes to prevent Ye Fuyun from hiding some private money.
Ye Fuyun knew what Zhou Jinmei was thinking.
However, she no longer needed to go to the hospital for checkups, and she no longer had to hide any private money. Whatever money she had left over from her daily grocery shopping, she honestly handed over to Zhou Jinmei.
"Hurry up and cook." Zhou Jinmei said.
Ye Fuyun went into the kitchen carrying a basket of vegetables.
While washing the vegetables, she thought about what happened on the way back to the slum after buying vegetables.
At that time, she was a little distracted, thinking about how to get Wu Longfei to go to the hospital for a check-up so that they could have a child as soon as possible.
She suddenly bumped into someone coming towards her, and her basket fell to the ground, with the vegetables inside rolling out.
Ye Fuyun glanced at the female comrade who bumped into her and said in a very harsh tone: "You have no eyes! How can you walk like that!"
The female comrade was originally planning to apologize, but after hearing what Ye Fuyun said, she got angry and replied, "Do you have eyes? How could you bump into me if you have eyes?"
"It was clearly you who bumped into me!" Ye Fuyun shouted.
"It was obviously you who didn't look at the road and bumped into me! And you blame others for how they walk. This is a public road, not yours. I can walk wherever I want." The female comrade replied unyieldingly.
Ye Fuyun was so angry that his face turned red. He couldn't argue with the female comrade and could only curse: "Bitch!"
"Who was the first to call the other blind? Speaking of shrews, no one is more shrewish than you." The female comrade glared at Ye Fuyun, too lazy to waste words with such a person, and left.
Ye Fuyun glared sinisterly at the female comrade's back, cursed her "bitch" in a low voice, and squatted down to pick up the vegetables scattered on the ground.
Suddenly, someone squatted down and picked up the vegetables on the ground.
Ye Fuyun quickly said to the other party in a bad tone: "This is me..."
When she saw who was picking up the vegetables, the rest of the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
He was the widower who lived in the staff quarters of the First Furniture Factory.
Ye Fuyun didn't know his name, he only knew that he was a widower.
The man's arms were strong. Without a word, he picked up the vegetables on the ground and put them into the basket. He then picked up the basket and handed it to Ye Fuyun.
Ye Fuyun stared at the man, his face flushed red involuntarily, and he stammered, "Thank you...thank you."
After Ye Fuyun took the basket, the man nodded slightly and left.
Ye Fuyun stood there, looking at the man's back for a long time.
Did he know that she was Ye Fuyun, who lived in the staff housing compound of the factory next door, so he went out of his way to help her pick vegetables?
Of course he did. He must have known her and had an impression of her, so that's why he helped her.
The man's back looked broad and strong, completely different from Wu Longfei's.
Only when the man's figure was completely out of sight did Ye Fuyun walk towards the slum.
But her originally calm mood was like a stone thrown into the air, causing ripples. Until she ran into Ye Fuyue in the slum, she, who had been dazed, suddenly felt inexplicably flustered.
She might know why she was panicking, but she didn't want to admit it - she used to look down on Ye Fuyue, despising her for betraying Wu Longfei in her previous life, hooking up with a strange man, giving birth to a bastard, and deceiving Wu Longfei.
But……
"Is the meal not ready yet? Why is it so slow today?" Wu Longfei's voice suddenly sounded and he walked into the kitchen.
Ye Fuyun was frightened and felt guilty, and almost cut his hand.
She sorted out her feelings and smiled gently at Wu Longfei, "You're back."
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so panicked?" Wu Longfei stared at Ye Fuyun in confusion.
"I'm not panicking." Ye Fuyun covered up, "I was thinking about what happened on the way home. A female comrade bumped into me and knocked over my basket of vegetables. She scolded me for not paying attention when I walked..."
Wu Longfei had no patience to listen any further. He interrupted her and asked, "When can we eat? I'm starving. Why are you so late today? Mom said you were late getting groceries."
"There were too many people at the supply and marketing cooperative. I had to queue up to buy anything, so I came back late."
"You know there are a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative, why don't you go earlier? It's already so late and the meal isn't ready yet." Wu Longfei was unhappy.
Ye Fuyun was also a little unhappy, but she didn't show it: "I want to go early too. But my mother told me to finish washing clothes and clean up the house before going."
"You can get up earlier. That way, even if you wash clothes and clean the house before going to the supply and marketing cooperative, it won't be too late." Wu Longfei said as a matter of course.
