Chapter 50
Ye Fuyue glanced at Chen Yao secretly, and Chen Yao nodded at her.
Ye Fuyue, as if she had received an imperial decree, immediately recounted the thrilling process of her capturing the human trafficker.
Of course, she omitted the fact that she had known for a long time that the old woman was a human trafficker and deliberately took the risk, saying only that she was deceived just like Zhong Lan. After discovering that she had been deceived, she fought back and vowed to catch the traffickers in one fell swoop!
Shen Shun's eyes sparkled as he listened, and he even forgot to eat. Chen Guifeng was similarly stunned, alternately worrying about Ye Fuyue's safety and cursing the traffickers.
Only Shen Yao ate his meal calmly, and from time to time he glanced at Ye Fuyue, whose expression was as rich as a storyteller, his eyes full of doting on her.
On the other side, Zhong Lan and Yao's eldest brother also returned home.
The Yao family was quiet. Aunt Xie, Father Yao, and Yao Yi had all gone to bed.
Hearing the noise, Aunt Xie and Yao Yi came out to take a look.
"Is she really in the Public Security Bureau?" Aunt Xie asked the eldest brother of the Yao family.
The eldest brother of the Yao family nodded and told the story of how Zhong Lan, Ye Fuyue and the other two were almost beheaded, and how Zhong Lan and Ye Fuyue cooperated to catch the three human traffickers.
"How can you be so stupid? You didn't even realize that the other party was a human trafficker?" Aunt Xie scolded Zhong Lan.
Zhong Lan was still frightened and felt very aggrieved when she heard her mother-in-law scolding her like that.
She said, "I saw that she was old and her clothes were all patched up. She looked very pitiful, so I wanted to help her and send her to her relatives. How could I have known that she was a human trafficker?"
"The other party is specifically trying to cheat simple-minded people like you. If you had bought the soy sauce, you would have come back quickly to light the fire and cook. There wouldn't be so much trouble!" said Aunt Xie.
"Ye Fuyue was also captured by human traffickers?" Yao Yi asked.
Zhong Lan nodded.
"Isn't she very smart and thoughtful? How can she be so stupid?" Yao Yi said sarcastically.
Zhong Lan defended herself, "If it weren't for Ye Fuyue, we might not have been able to escape. We might have already..."
Zhong Lan didn't dare to imagine the worst outcome. Although it was over now and she was safe, she didn't dare to say the worst outcome.
She paused and continued, "It was Ye Fuyue who single-handedly stopped the three traffickers, so I was able to get away and go find the police. Ye Fuyue also single-handedly defeated the three traffickers."
"According to you, Ye Fuyue is still a hero?" Aunt Xie was dissatisfied. She couldn't stand hearing others speak well of Ye Fuyue in front of her.
Zhong Lan nodded solemnly: "She is a hero. Chen Gongan said that Ye Fuyue will be rewarded."
Yao Yi scoffed, "What kind of hero is this? I think she's just lucky. If she really had to face three tall and strong men, how could she possibly stand up to them all by herself? If she were a true hero, how could she have been deceived by human traffickers?"
"That's right!" Aunt Xie nodded continuously, agreeing with her daughter's words.
Zhong Lan found it unbelievable, yet also reasonable.
She couldn't believe it. Ye Fuyue had saved her life, so how could Aunt Xie and Yao Yi say such things?
But after all, she was just the daughter-in-law of the Yao family. In the eyes of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she was an outsider. It seemed understandable that they did not take her safety seriously.
But even so, Zhong Lan still said: "No matter what others think, in my heart, Ye Fuyue is a hero. She saved my life, and I want to thank her very much."
"How do you want to thank her?" Aunt Xie asked with a gloomy face.
"I want to buy some meat, candy or something like that for her." Zhong Lan expressed her thoughts.
"Where did you get the money to buy these things?!" Aunt Xie asked in a high voice.
"I'm discussing this with you because I don't have any money," said Zhong Lan.
Normally, Yao's eldest brother and Aunt Xie would only give her some money for groceries. They would always take back any leftover money. She had never considered saving any personal funds before, and whenever she had any leftover money from grocery shopping, she would simply give it to Aunt Xie or Yao's eldest brother. She never had a penny left.
Aunt Xie heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She had thought that Zhong Lan said this because she had hidden some private money.
"Since you have no money, why buy these things? We usually don't even buy or eat meat and sugar for ourselves, but you buy them for Ye Fuyue. Do you think we don't have enough money at home? You don't make any money!" Aunt Xie said.
"But Ye Fuyue saved me. She saved my life." Zhong Lan said.
"She herself was deceived by human traffickers. Who can say for sure whether she saved you or herself?" Yao Yi said.
Aunt Xie nodded: "That's right! Just stop bothering me and wasting our family's money. The Shen family is much richer than ours. If you really buy something for her, she might not even appreciate it."
Zhong Lan looked at the eldest brother of the Yao family. If the eldest brother of the Yao family could stand on her side and go shopping with her to thank Ye Fuyue, that would be fine.
The eldest brother of the Yao family saw Zhong Lan looking at her and said, "I think Mom is right. If you really buy something and take it away, Ye Fuyue may not appreciate it. Besides, you heard what Ye Fuyue said at the Public Security Bureau before. She told everyone not to thank her, and she was also saving herself. You have already thanked her at the Public Security Bureau, and she also feels your gratitude. You don't need to buy anything anymore."
Zhong Lan was very disappointed. She didn't expect that the man closest to her also thought so.
She lowered her eyes and said no more.
…
A few days later, Aunt Xie got up early in the morning and there was no one at home to make breakfast.
"It's already so late, and you haven't gotten up to make breakfast yet? You're getting even lazier and more disrespectful!" She walked to the eldest brother of the Yao family's room, cursing and shouting at the top of her voice: "Zhong Lan, hurry up and make breakfast! Do you want to starve us to death? Which daughter-in-law is as lazy as you!"
The eldest brother of the Yao family was woken up by Aunt Xie's loud voice. He opened the door with a face full of resentment and said, "Zhong Lan went back to her parents' home early this morning."
Aunt Xie became even more furious: "Why did she go back to her parents' home? She didn't even tell me, what's the point of going back to her parents' home! She's married, why would she go back to her parents' home!"
Yao's eldest brother rubbed his eardrums, which were aching from Aunt Xie's bombardment, and said irritably, "She said she had something to do back home and would be back today."
"What could possibly happen to her?"
"How would I know?" Yao's eldest brother also grew impatient and yelled, "I asked her, but she didn't tell me! Mom, could you please stop yelling here so early in the morning? You're driving me crazy!"
After the eldest brother of the Yao family finished speaking, he closed the door with a bang and went back to sleep.
Being yelled at by her own son, Aunt Xie calmed down a bit, but she still cursed softly: "You have no conscience! I raised you up, and you got upset just because I asked a few questions about your wife! Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"
After scolding the eldest brother of the Yao family, Aunt Xie continued to scold Zhong Lan in a low voice: "You didn't even tell me in advance and ran to your mother's house so early in the morning. Someone must have died there! When you come back, I will punish you!"
