Chapter 181 A Better Self
Ye Wan's words were like a reassuring pill, planting a seed in the hearts of her three young daughters, which would soon take root, sprout, and grow into towering trees.
"Mother, we've remembered everything." Daya looked at Ye Wan with a smile.
"Mother, I will not get married and will stay by your side." Sanya grabbed Ye Wan's right hand.
Er Ya, not to be outdone, grabbed her left hand and said, "I won't get married either. We won't get married and will stay with Mother."
"Fine, if none of you get married, you can stay by my side as old maids. Anyway, I can afford to support you."
Aunt Cai looked at Ye Wan with loving eyes.
This is more like her own daughter. As for her own ingrate, who would abandon his own parents for a man, what kind of person is he?
Ye Wan noticed that San Ya's purse was open, and suddenly remembered something, so she immediately pulled her hand away.
"Sanya, did you wash your hands after touching Xiao Hei?"
"Wait, how come you're still alive, you big black bug? Aren't bugs supposed to have short lifespans?"
Sanya's little black dog has been with her for so long. It should have died in winter, so how come it's still alive?
"Mom, I haven't touched Little Black yet today. Little Black is different from other insects. It's a Black General, and it's very powerful." Sanya said, taking Little Black out of her purse.
Except for Aunt Cai, everyone else stepped back.
Ye Wan felt a chill just looking at it. "You should just put it in."
She even thought that the big black worm had eaten something from the space, which was why it had lived for so long.
The child has a slight interest in keeping pets, which she can't take away, but this particular pet is a bit unusual.
"Sanya, you're not ladylike at all," Erya said softly, her fingers delicately swaying.
Sanya rolled her eyes. "Second sister, you're even less ladylike."
What good is being a lady? Can you kill a stray dog with one punch?
She, Lin Qingyao, is capable of it.
Only absolute power can protect a mother; a virtuous lady cannot.
Da Ya laughed and said, "Alright, neither of you are ladylike. What do you want for lunch today? I'll make it."
Ye Wan replied lazily, "Whatever."
Daya: ...
Who knows, those two words are the most dreaded words for cooks.
...
...
"Wanwan, King Jing is summoning me back. Will you come with me?"
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Anyuan hugged Ye Wan and rubbed against her neck.
Ye Wan pushed him away, "Fine, of course I'm going to go with you. Are you going to leave the three of us behind?"
Since taking the contraceptive, Lin Anyuan has been spending the last two days either handling official business or clinging to her. Even a puppy wouldn't be this clingy.
"Before you leave, I want to introduce you to the villagers and my brothers."
There wasn't enough time to hold a wedding, and Ye Wan didn't want to go through all that trouble, but Lin Anyuan still harbored a secret desire to let everyone know that she was his wife.
"Ye Wan, my wife."
Lin Anyuan was very efficient; he gathered all his subordinates together that very day and had Ye Wan recognize them.
Even standing next to Lin Anyuan, Ye Wan was in no way inferior.
A group of grown men were in an uproar when they saw Ye Wan.
"So my sister-in-law is this beautiful. Who was it that said she was a big, burly yaksha?"
"Isn't it all because of your nephew, sister-in-law? Rumors really aren't reliable. Greetings, sister-in-law!"
Ye Wan greeted them with a smile, "Hello everyone, I'm treating you all to dinner today!"
"Sister-in-law, is this a grand restaurant?"
"No, I cooked it myself."
"Great, we're in for a treat! Do you remember when I told you guys that when Boss Lin was sneaking a piece of jerky, I caught him and he wouldn't give me any. But when I was injured and about to die, he gave me a piece, and it was so delicious. I'll never forget it."
"Seriously, is Lord Lin really that stingy?"
"When have you ever seen Lord Lin be generous..."
Lin Anyuan didn't like what he heard, so he pulled Ye Wan away. Ye Wan was overjoyed and called him stingy Lin.
On that day, Ye Wan prepared two sheep, a lot of potato and sweet potato noodles, and all the edible vegetables, whether fresh or dried, to put into the hot pot.
Ye Wan's hot pot broth has been improved, and it tastes different from that of the big restaurants. A group of grown men ate it with great gusto.
The next day I went to the village and met with the villagers.
The whole family went.
"Madam Ye, are you coming back to live here? Do you need to build a new house? Just let us know, the village is all idle right now, and we guarantee it will be built for you in half a month."
The village chief immediately wanted to call over the best house builders in the village.
Ye Wan told him to stop bothering, "Village Chief, we've come to say goodbye to everyone. I'm leaving with my child's father."
Where are you going during the Chinese New Year?
"Yes, it's only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. You haven't finished celebrating yet. Can't you wait until after the New Year to leave?"
People who knew Ye Wan well started talking to her, and they all gathered around her to talk. Lin Anyuan stood quietly beside Ye Wan.
Er Ya and San Ya were also saying goodbye to their girlfriends.
"Madam Ye, what will we do if we don't leave?"
"We might come back sometime in the future..."
The villages are now connected, which makes management easier and fosters greater unity among the residents.
Not far away, Wang Ming looked at Ye Hua with unease, "Hua'er, are you leaving too?"
Wang Ming hadn't seen Ye Hua for over a month. He used to occasionally come over to see her when he lived in the village, but now that she was gone, he would never see her again.
“Now that it’s just the two of us sisters at home, I naturally have to go with my younger sister,” Ye Hua said calmly.
Life was tough back then, and when someone offered to help her, she wasn't made of stone; how could she not be moved at all?
After a moment of silence, Wang Ming made up his mind, "I'll pack my things and leave with you."
Ye Hua was surprised for a moment, then quickly said, "Wang Ming, don't be impulsive. You still have your grandmother. What will happen to Grandma Wang if you leave?"
Wang Ming looked at Ye Hua, mustered his courage, and blushed as he spoke, "Yingzi is still with my grandma, Hua'er, I can't live without you..."
"Brother Ming."
Before they could finish speaking, Yingzi came running up, panting, and stopped in front of them.
"Sister-in-law Ye Hua, you're here too!" Yingzi looked at Ye Hua with some wariness, her expression subtly hostile.
Hearing her call her "sister-in-law," Ye Hua understood everything.
Yingzi looked at Wang Ming and said, "Brother Ming, why didn't you say anything when you came out? Grandma was worried about you. Let's go back quickly."
"Yingzi, I'm not going back, I want to..."
Ye Hua chuckled, interrupting him, and looked at Wang Ming seriously, "She cares about you, and your grandmother is willing too. Live a good life together from now on. We are destined to be different people."
"Flowers, leaves."
Wang Ming paused for a moment, then called out to Ye Hua.
Ye Hua didn't turn her head, remembering what Ye Wan had told her.
Some people are destined to accompany you for only a while, and then go their separate ways. Perhaps we will meet again someday. I hope we can all become the best versions of ourselves.
