Chapter 95 Bullshit of Sincerity
Why are you looking at me?
Ye Wan felt that his gaze was a little too intense.
What's wrong? You suddenly realize you've fallen in love with her?
Just as Ye Wan was about to make a joke, she heard Lin Anyuan say, "Isn't your current appearance exactly what you call the Holy Mother?"
Ye Wan: ...
Enraged, she stood up and said, "Lin Anyuan, don't call me 'Holy Mother'!"
Lin Anyuan looked at her strangely, "Didn't you say I was a saint? It doesn't seem like a good word."
Ye Wan was taken aback, then chuckled awkwardly, "It's a compliment, you're overthinking it. Go to sleep, I'll make you some chicken soup."
When Lin Anyuan asked about the chickens in the space, they said they were bought from outside.
Once outside, Ye Wan realized she hadn't asked about Sanya earlier, and couldn't help but slap her forehead.
Lin Anyuan walked to the basin and splashed water on his face.
"Er Ya, what delicious food is your mother making? It smells so good!"
The aroma of simmering chicken soup wafted out, and in the three maids' room, Hongmei woke up, constantly swallowing her saliva.
"I told you not to call me Er Ya, you're probably making chicken soup for my dad." Er Ya turned over and went back to sleep.
Hongmei stood up and said softly, "It's dawn, I'm going home."
"What will your parents say when you go back?" Daya also got up.
After all, Hongmei had only gone to work as a maid yesterday and was already going back today.
"No, my parents are still very good to me."
Hongmei was confident in this. Her parents were not as biased towards their son as other families, which was why she was willing to become a maid to exchange for her brother's betrothal gifts.
With this back and forth, her mother even made five taels of silver for free, so she must be very happy.
"Then I'll go back now, goodbye Sister Daya."
After Hongmei left, Er Ya and San Ya were still asleep, while Daya went to the kitchen.
"Mother, Hongmei is gone."
"I see. Give the chicken soup to your dad and tell him to drink more. The three of you eat the chicken. I'm going out for a bit." Ye Wan saw Daya and remembered something.
"Mom, aren't you going to drink? You haven't had a proper rest."
Ye Wan waved her hand, "I've already had my drink, don't worry about me."
After saying that, she took off her apron and went out.
Early in the morning, when there weren't many people around, Ye Wan headed straight for Zhang Erniu's house.
He didn't even knock when he got to the door; he just kicked it open and went inside.
"Mr. Ye, what brings you here so early in the morning?"
Zhang Erniu's father, puffing on his pipe, called out into the house, "My wife, Madam Ye is here!"
When a woman arrives, she is usually the one who receives her.
"Mrs. Ye, what brings you here?" Zhang Erniu's mother came out of the kitchen, not very warmly.
When they went last time, Ye Wan didn't give them a friendly look either.
"Where's Zhang Erniu?" Ye Wan glanced around the courtyard.
Zhang Erniu came out of the house, "Auntie..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Wan slapped him hard across the face.
Zhang Erniu's mother panicked, "Ye Shi, why did you hit my son!"
Ye Wan slapped her again, "You forgetful thing! Didn't I tell you not to go near Da Ya? You actually tried to ruin her when no one was around! Do you think our family members are all dead? Tell me, don't you deserve to be hit!"
Both slaps were too light; she wanted to cripple Zhang Erniu.
What disgusting stuff.
With a slap mark on his face, Zhang Erniu shouted, "I genuinely like Daya. You're just her stepmother, what right do you have to care about her? You just don't see her as a good person at all!"
"sincere?"
Ye Wan laughed. "What's the value of your sincerity? Your so-called sincerity is ruining her, making her enter the family amidst gossip and slander, looked down upon by everyone, and forced to serve your family like a beast of burden? Toiling away until death for the rest of her life, is that your sincerity?"
"Let me tell you, your sincerity is utterly worthless."
"I……"
Zhang Erniu wanted to refute, but he stammered for a long time and couldn't say a word.
He wanted to say that it wasn't like that. Don't all the women in the village have to take care of their families and do chores after they get married? Da Ya can't stay unmarried and be an old maid forever.
Ye Wan sneered, "I'll emphasize this to you again today: if you dare to get close to Da Ya again, I'll cripple you and make sure you can never be a man again!"
Zhang Erniu shuddered in fright.
"You think you're worthy of marrying Da Ya!"
Ye Wan spat and looked down on him.
People who are too kind live too tiring a life; she wasn't exactly a kind person to begin with.
After leaving Zhang Erniu's house, Ye Wan moved on to the next one.
“Little girl, your stepmother is really good to you, she’s come here specifically to stand up for you.”
A sudden sound from above startled Daya, who was hiding.
Chu Xiujie jumped down from the tree.
Ye Wan had already noticed Da Ya, but she didn't say anything and pretended not to see her.
Since she did a good deed, she naturally wanted to leave her name; quietly giving is not her style.
It's just Chu Xiujie, but who exactly is he?
"Master Chu, is there something you need?" Da Ya patted her chest and looked at Chu Xiujie.
This person doesn't seem to have any bad intentions, so she's not afraid.
"It's nothing, I just came to see your dad," Chu Xiujie said, looking at Ye Wan in the distance. Suddenly, he lowered his head and sniffed, "What's that smell? What did you eat at your house? It smells so good!"
Daya took an awkward step back. "We made chicken soup at home, but we've already finished it. You've come at a bad time."
Chu Xiujie looked mournful. "Tsk, I saved you, and you can't even get a bowl of rice. My benefactor is really too miserable."
It's strange, really. He doesn't care much about food, but he's become addicted to Lin Anyuan's food.
Da Ya kept her head down and didn't reply.
"Come on, let's see what your mother's up to." Chu Xiujie clicked his tongue and followed Ye Wan.
Daya followed behind.
Ye Wan followed suit and kicked open Hongmei's door.
"Hey, didn't your Hongmei go to the Liu family to be a maid? Why is she back so soon?"
In the courtyard, Hongmei was telling her mother that she had seen Young Master Liu when she saw Ye Wan hiding behind her mother guiltily.
Hongmei's mother said awkwardly, "Well... Madam Ye, this matter concerning your Erya and Sanya isn't really Hongmei's fault, is it? Who would have thought that the old woman, dressed so respectably, was a beggar! My Hongmei was almost fooled too!"
"I didn't expect that your Hongmei was planning to scam my Erya from the very beginning, did she? She took the money quite quickly!"
After Ye Wan finished speaking, her whole family came out of the house.
Hongmei burst into tears. "No, I just want to find someone to keep me company."
The old woman named Li said she wanted a pretty girl, and she thought she was pretty enough, but the old woman Li wasn't satisfied and gave her more money. That's when she remembered Er Ya.
Hongmei's brother became anxious, "Ye, are you ever going to stop? Your Erya and Sanya went there on their own. Besides, it wasn't you who saved them, it was Young Master Liu! What business is it of yours!"
Ye Wan's face darkened. "Hongmei's mother, it's none of my business if you want to sell your Hongmei, but if you want to sell my Erya and Sanya, do you think I'm a fool!"
