Chapter 74: Relatives come to borrow money, goodbye!
Ye Ying complained in her heart, after all, he didn't do anything to her, let's see how long this seemingly peaceful relationship between neighbors can last.
She knew that there were gourds planted in Widow Li's yard, and some vines had already climbed along the wall to their house, with a few green gourds hanging on the vines.
Ye Ying returned to the yard, immediately set up a ladder, and took a large sickle to skillfully cut down all the gourds and vines that were spreading over.
She threw the chopped gourds and vines directly from the wall into Widow Li's yard.
A few minutes later, Widow Li discovered the chopped calabash and vines and screamed through the wall, "Ah!! Ye Ying, Li Yanmei, you two damn women, why did you chop down my calabash tree!"
Ye Ying heard Widow Li's shouting and came out of the house leisurely. Then she climbed up the wall with the ladder, stuck her head out and said to Widow Li with a smile:
"Widow Li, I'm sorry! Your calabash vine has spread to our house, occupying our land, and attracting mosquitoes and insects. My mother thinks it's unlucky, so she asked me to cut it down!"
"you!"
Widow Li saw Ye Ying's gloating expression and was so angry that she rolled her eyes. Her already not young face looked even older.
But the best she could do was to stand there and stare blankly, unable to do anything, because her calabash tree had indeed grown to Ye Ying's house!
Li Yanhong, who was cooking, heard the noise and thought something had happened, so she hurried out of the house.
Seeing Ye Ying climbing the wall, his eyes went dark:
"Oh my god, Yingzi! You are such a fool! Don't you know your own weight? That ladder is not stable..."
Ye Ying: “…”
The original owner's mother never mentioned that she was fat, but every time she said that, she complained that she was fat!
The weight loss business still cannot stop.
During dinner time, someone came to our house.
The people who came were Ye Shuncheng's cousin and his wife, whom Ye Ying should call uncle and aunt.
The two of them said they were here to see Ye Ying who had just returned from the county, but in fact they were just here to eat for free.
The couple came empty-handed. When Ye Shuncheng saw them coming, he quickly asked Ye Ying to help him go to the rural supply and marketing cooperative to buy two kilograms of bulk Lao Bai Gan, and then buy a bottle of Jianlibao that everyone could drink.
Although the supply and marketing cooperative in the village is not large, it has everything it needs and can basically meet the daily expenses in the countryside.
The salesperson was a young girl. When she saw Ye Ying coming in with a jug, she knew that she was here to buy bulk wine.
But the girl seemed to know her and stared at her for a long time before taking the pot she handed over.
When the girl finished pouring the wine and handed the wine bottle back to her, she said in a mocking tone: "Hey, isn't this Cousin Ye Ying? You really came back?"
"I haven't seen you for a few months, cousin, why are you still so fat?"
Hearing the title "cousin", Ye Ying, who originally had no feelings for this girl, could not help but look at her face carefully, and soon confirmed that this was the original owner's cousin Chen Xiaoyun.
Chen Xiaoyun graduated from primary school and was two or three years younger than her. Although they were relatives, she looked down on Ye Ying from the bottom of her heart because Ye Ying had a very bad reputation in the village.
Ye Ying didn't care about this, as long as she didn't act like a troublemaker in front of her.
She is not RMB and cannot be liked by everyone.
She could only say that she would do her best to change everyone's perception of her.
Thinking of this, Ye Ying replied perfunctorily, "Yeah. After not seeing you for a few months, Xiaoyun has become more beautiful."
But Chen Xiaoyun did not respond to her words, but only talked about a topic that many people are concerned about:
"Cousin, I heard that you married a military officer."
"Ah, so what?"
Chen Xiaoyun's eyes rolled around slyly.
"Then can you introduce me to someone? I'm much more hardworking than you, and I'm prettier and thinner than you. There will definitely be someone who'll be interested in me, right?"
In that era, joining the army was a very honorable thing. To put it in an exaggerated way, when you became a soldier, the whole village came to see you off.
Moreover, most young people at that time admired soldiers, so many young women were eager to find a soldier to start a family.
She heard Chen Xiaoyun's wishful thinking from a distance!
But it's not surprising that she has this idea. After all, she would look down on these "street scoundrels" in the village.
Except for the original owner, who is not a picky eater.
Knowing Chen Xiaoyun's thoughts, Ye Ying smiled cunningly: "Sister, it's not that I won't help you!"
"People, it's important to know yourself. Regardless of how you look, as far as I know, the people I know all say they like plump breasts. Look at you, you're a bear with no flesh at all, and you don't even have a diploma. You look unsuitable at first glance!"
Chen Xiaoyun was anxious: "How is that possible! Cousin, you are just fooling me. It would be fine if you didn't introduce me, but why are you insulting me? What's so great about you?"
"I'm not slandering you! That's the truth!" Ye Ying denied it with a light smile, gave the money, took the pot of white wine and Jianlibao, and turned to leave the supply and marketing cooperative.
Let’s talk about Ye Shuncheng’s cousin Ye Shunming again. When he saw An Xiaotong, a girl of eight or nine years old, his reaction was almost exactly the same as everyone else’s.
"What's wrong? Yingzi married a second-hand guy?"
Ye Shuncheng took a puff of water pipe and snorted:
"How is that possible? She rescued this girl from a human trafficker on her way back to the village. Her husband is a good man, a soldier, a battalion commander!"
Hearing the boasting in Ye Shuncheng's tone, Ye Shunming curled his lips, took the hookah from his hand and took a puff.
"Just show off! Everyone knows what Yingzi did!"
"If she hadn't given her that kind of medicine, I don't think that soldier would have married her, a fat girl! Don't you think so?"
Ye Shuncheng was a little unhappy at once, "That's better than your street urchin, who just hangs around in the village all day long."
Ye Ying came back from buying some wine and naturally heard their conversation, but she didn't say anything and put the wine on the table with a smile.
During the meal, Ye Shunming and his wife finally explained the purpose of their visit.
Their eldest son beat up someone from the next village, and the other person's family came with the police to demand compensation, but they couldn't come up with the money, so they came here to borrow money.
When she heard that they were here to borrow money, Ye Ying hurriedly spoke in front of the old couple: "Uncle, aunt, it's not that we don't want to help you, it's just that we really can't afford it!"
"Our family is in the same situation as yours. Your family has no money, so how come our family has money?"
When Ye Shunming's wife heard that Ye Ying was unwilling to lend money, she immediately put on a sullen face:
"Humph! If you don't want to borrow it, just say so. What are you talking about?"
Having said that, he threw his chopsticks on the table, stopped eating, and pulled Ye Shunming to leave.
