Chapter 120 She's Got Princess Syndrome
"Big sister, come in quickly."
Ye Hua was dressed simply, with a white flower in her hair. "I'm still wearing mourning clothes, so I won't go in, lest it be bad for the child."
"It's alright, my family doesn't care about these things."
"No, Sanya is still too young."
Seeing her say that, Ye Wan had no choice but to come out and talk at the courtyard gate, asking Daya to bring Ye Hua a bowl of cold noodles.
"Eat quickly, we can talk about other things later. You look like you haven't eaten since you came here. It's only been a few days and you look so haggard." Ye Wan pretended to be unhappy.
Ye Hua hurriedly started eating. There wasn't much food at home; they had been making do with what they had for Wang Hu's funeral these past few days, and she was indeed hungry.
After Ye Hua finished eating and drinking water, Ye Wan asked, "You said you had news of Second Sister. Where is Second Sister?"
Ye Wan thought of this second sister, who was quite good to the original owner. She always protected her when Old Lady Qian beat the original owner.
Ye Hua excitedly said, "It was Grandma Wang Ming who said it. Wang Ming went to Ping County and sent someone to deliver a letter."
"Is your second sister in Ping County?"
"It should be," Ye Hua said, somewhat uncertainly.
But when she heard news of her younger sister, she couldn't help but think about her.
Yaozu is dead, leaving only the three sisters. She is afraid that something will happen to Cao'er as well.
"Let's go to Ping County to find Wang Ming first," Ye Wan said, looking at the three girls.
Daya hurriedly said, "Mother, you and Aunt go, I'll take good care of Erya and Sanya."
“No, I’m not comfortable leaving you at home. I’ll take you to my parents’ place first thing tomorrow morning, and then hire a car in town.”
Since Lin Anyuan left, one person after another has tried to take advantage of the family, so how could Ye Wan feel at ease leaving the three of them alone?
Going to Ping County is far, and we'll definitely need to stay overnight. Da Ya is already of marriageable age in the countryside, so it's not appropriate to leave her at the village chief's house.
Daya nodded, "Perfect timing, I've almost finished reading these books, I'll return them to my grandfather."
"I'm going back now. I'll go to town tomorrow too." Ye Hua's mood improved a bit at the thought of finding Cao'er soon.
"Big sister, how have you been these past few days? Has anyone been bullying you?" Ye Wan asked softly.
Ye Hua shook her head, "Fortunately, the people of Wangjia Village are united, and the village chief takes good care of me."
As for the matter of someone trying to persuade her to remarry, Ye Hua didn't say anything. She didn't want to remarry. Wang Hu's blood relatives and elders were all dead, and as long as she didn't want to, no one should be able to force her to remarry.
"That's good. Here, take this for self-defense." Ye Wan took out the poison powder wrapped in paper and handed it to Ye Hua.
"If someone tries to bully you, just shoot them in the eyes."
This powder was made from poisonous herbs she found on the mountain, mixed with chili powder. If it gets on a person, it will cause a burning sensation and discomfort; if it gets in the eyes, it will cause instant blindness.
"this……"
Without a word, Ye Wan handed it to her, saying, "Take this, just in case."
Ye Hua left, and Er Ya hurriedly ran over.
"Mom, I want one too."
Ye Wan clicked her tongue, "You want everything. You're a typical person who can't get enough of taking advantage of others."
This girl is a master at taking advantage of others. Whether she likes something or not, whether it's useful or useless, she always tries to get her a share, as if she's afraid of missing out.
"Mother, how could you say that to me?" Er Ya stamped her foot, somewhat angry.
Ye Wan couldn't stand her affected manner, so she took out another packet. "Here, here, be careful someone spills it in their eyes. I can't help if they go blind."
"I'm not Sanya, I certainly wouldn't be that stupid!"
Er Ya carefully put the wrapped poison powder into her purse.
She had begged her older sister to make this purse, and all the girls in the village were extremely envious, especially Hongmei.
Hongmei's mother forbade Hongmei from playing with her anymore, but Hongmei still secretly went to find her.
"Don't you dare put others down. You're washing the dishes today!" Ye Wan said before going back inside.
Er Ya grumbled to herself and reluctantly went to wash the dishes.
The next morning, Ye Wan packed her things, locked the courtyard gate, and went out with her three maids.
She took everything that would catch the eye, leaving only wild vegetables and tree bark in the kitchen. Plus, with this dilapidated yard, even thieves would have to throw in a bag of rice before leaving.
"Grandpa Sun sold the oxcart, and now that I have no ride, my legs are killing me."
Er Ya, carrying her bundle, complained with her pinky finger raised in a delicate gesture.
Ye Wan couldn't help but retort, "We haven't even left the village yet, and you're a typical case of having a spoiled princess's mentality but not a princess's life."
She, a true heiress, has never complained.
Not far away, Zhang Erniu, holding a hoe, stopped in his tracks when he saw Ye Wan and the others approaching.
Lamei, who was standing behind him with her belly sticking out, suddenly grabbed his ear and yelled, "Zhang Erniu, where are you looking? If you look at that dirty, smelly thing again, believe me, I'll... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a clod of dirt was thrown at him.
Ye Wan raised her voice, "Where's that stench coming from? What's that filth? Let's get out of here!"
After saying that, he grabbed Sanya and quickened his pace.
Zhang Erniu supported Lamei from behind, saying, "Lamei, I've been living a good life with you. Don't make things difficult for others anymore. That stepmother isn't someone to mess with."
"Brother Erniu, I know I was wrong. Feel my belly and see if the baby is moving."
"Go ahead and touch it! Didn't you say this is your child? Do you believe I'll hit you?"
Hearing the sounds coming from behind her, Ye Wan was in a good mood. She was a person without morals; she was happy when she saw people she didn't like living a bad life.
After leaving the three girls with Aunt Cai, Ye Wan waited for Ye Hua at the market entrance.
To get to Ping County, you need to hire a vehicle. Ye Wan hired a donkey cart in the town, driven by a man around forty years old.
During this period, Ye Wan personally experienced how difficult life was for ordinary people, and how people could be seen selling themselves into servitude to bury their parents.
We traveled for a whole day and finally arrived in Ping County just as it was getting dark.
This place was previously looted by bandits and looks particularly desolate.
"Little sister, I feel like these people are looking at me strangely." Ye Hua nervously grabbed Ye Wan's clothes.
Ye Wan observed carefully and found that the people coming and going were mostly men, and there were no young women at all; they were all older.
"Uncle, here's the address from before, hurry up."
Ye Wan was afraid that these people would have wicked ideas once it got dark. In this world, it's too difficult for a young woman to walk outside alone.
The donkey cart made its way through many twists and turns to a village where people lived.
As soon as we stopped, two men approached from a distance. "Where did you two young ladies come from? Are you here to visit relatives or...?"
Ye Wan was on guard when the door opposite her suddenly opened.
"Flowers, you're here! Come in quickly."
When Ye Wan saw that it was Wang Ming, she quickly pulled Ye Hua over.
The driver has a place to stay overnight and will come to pick them up tomorrow.
Once inside the courtyard, Wang Ming quickly closed the door.
Before he could speak, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen rushed out of the house and hid behind Wang Ming, grabbing his arm and watching Ye Wan and the other girl warily.
