Chapter 31 Luckily, she had no morals
"Brother Yuan."
Ye Wan chased after him, and seeing that Lin Anyuan didn't react, she deliberately shouted in a high-pitched voice.
"Brother Lin~"
Lin Anyuan, who was in front of him, suddenly stopped and paused.
Seeing the reaction, Ye Wan smiled slyly, "Brother Lin~ just tell me how good I am to you, I've been working hard for you like a slave, you can't treat me like this."
Lin Anyuan suddenly turned around, his face serious, and said, "Whatever you are that possessed her, get off her right now!"
Ye Wan: ...
"Lin Anyuan! Go to hell!"
Why is this person so annoying?
Seeing that she was normal, Lin Anyuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "You better not wish for me to die. If I die, you won't be able to live either."
"Why? I'm not a tapeworm in your stomach."
Pah, pah, pah, Lin Anyuan is the one who's a tapeworm.
Lin Anyuan slightly curved the corners of his lips, "You're no different from a tapeworm, because I'll take you with me before I die!"
He's sick, he's insane!
Ye Wan cursed the man's ancestors in her mind, feeling that being with this sharp-tongued man was making her become vicious herself.
He completely lost the desire to speak, and was so angry that he even forgot that someone was looking for him.
The two rode back in an oxcart, and Ye Wan didn't say a word the whole way.
"You're back? How much did you sell today? What did you buy?"
As soon as we entered the courtyard, Er Ya greeted us excitedly.
Ye Wan was about to say, "What's it to you?", but then changed her mind and said, "Hey, little black girl, do you want to make money?"
"Of course I want to. It's stupid not to make money when you can. What, do you have a way to make money?" Er Ya glanced at Ye Wan.
"I'm making money right now, so I can hire you and pay you ten coins a day." Ye Wan thought he could make another cart and have Daya and Erya sell it.
Er Ya pouted, "Only ten coins? Even if you ask your older sister to wash a dish, it would cost ten yuan, or at least twenty coins."
"Okay, deal."
Er Ya stared at Ye Wan, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
How could such a heartless woman be so kind?
"What good would it do me to lie to you? There are a lot of people around lately. If you don't want to go, that's fine. I'll hire someone else." Ye Wan smoothed her hair.
"Okay, I'll go."
Er Ya couldn't help but smile when she thought about how she could earn money and buy beautiful clothes and jewelry.
It's a fool not to make money when you can; disliking someone and making money from them are not mutually exclusive.
Yes, that's it.
Seeing Ye Wan about to leave, Er Ya said seriously, "There's one thing I need to warn you about: you're not allowed to call me Blackie anymore."
"Okay, Blackie, Blackie."
Ye Wan laughed and went inside.
While cooking, Daya came in to help and whispered, "Mom, please stop teasing Erya. She actually loves beauty the most. Every time you say she's dark-skinned, she hides and cries secretly."
Is Er Ya just like Little Chili, so fragile and sensitive?
Ye Wan chuckled awkwardly, "Okay, I'll try my best."
It does seem immoral to bully children, but thankfully she wasn't.
Lin Anyuan was not home again that night.
Ye Wanmei took a nice bath and ate peaches in the space, but she still hadn't returned.
Are they going to be ghosts every night?
Ye Wan was only curious for a moment before going to sleep.
Curiosity killed the cat. Why did she care so much? Lin Anyuan wasn't around, so she could sleep comfortably by herself.
...
...
"Big sister, the town is so lively lately. When I came here before, there didn't seem to be this many people."
The next day, Er Ya was overjoyed to set up a stall in town.
Ye Wan plans to rest today and let Daya and Erya do the work.
Once the two of them are skilled, they can work independently, and she can sell other things. She hopes to open a shop before the end of the year so she won't have to brave the wind and rain anymore.
When Ye Wan looked down and saw the red flower in Er Ya's hair, her eyes stung. "Where did you get this flower? It looks terrible in your hair, like a matchmaker."
A small, dark face adorned with a large red flower—it's as ugly as it gets.
Er Ya, with her delicate fingers raised, said, "What do you know? A beautiful woman is a perfect match for a beautiful woman. I look great here."
"Haha, I can only say it's reached a new level of ugliness."
Ye Wan laughed heartily.
Er Ya angrily threw the flower off her head, glaring at Ye Wan with tears welling up in her eyes.
Ye Wan clicked her tongue, "Alright, stop glaring at me. When you make some money later, buy some pretty jewelry to wear. Work hard, I believe in you."
Er Ya glared at Ye Wan again, then followed Da Ya to learn.
Soon she started hawking her wares on the street, her voice crisp and clear.
Ye Wan discovered that this dark-skinned girl did have some merits. Unlike Daya's shyness, she had a quick, eloquent mouth and could say a whole bunch of nice things in no time.
Around noon, the old man with the cough sat in front of his stall.
Ye Wan saw him and called out, "Grandpa, would you like a bowl of noodles today too?"
"Give me a bowl."
"Mother, you sit down and I'll do it." Daya said, already starting to move.
"Ahem... You're such a young girl, so young, and you're already married and a stepmother?" The old man coughed, looking at the three girls beside Ye Wan.
"There was nothing I could do. My father died young, and my mother only loved her son, so I was sold to their father," Ye Wan said casually.
She might not tell the truth to others, but she always felt that this old man gave off a different vibe.
She has always trusted her intuition.
"It's not easy, but it's good that you can take it easy. Cough..." The old man's cough wasn't as severe as before, but he was still coughing.
"What's there to be upset about? There are plenty of parents in the world who don't love their daughters. If you can't let it go, then you might as well not live."
As soon as Ye Wan finished speaking, Er Ya cried out in surprise.
"It's alright, big sister, I just burned my hand." Er Ya washed her hands in cold water and continued working.
The old man didn't say anything more, and after finishing his noodles, he went to pay.
Ye Wan said in a low voice, "Grandpa, just give me half. I cooked you less noodles, so please don't tell anyone."
The old man chuckled and put down half a copper coin. "You're a kind-hearted girl."
"Only you would praise me like this, my adopted daughter calls me a heartless woman."
After the old man left, Er Ya started acting strangely.
"Who's your daughter? Stop trying to make yourself look good. Are you out of your mind? They're already offering to pay, and you're only taking half. What a rotten act of kindness."
Ye Wan glanced at her upon hearing this. "Did I name you? Don't flatter yourself."
"you……"
Er Ya, thinking about the twenty coins she hadn't yet received, held back.
I was busy until two or three o'clock today, and by the time I got home it was already past four or five.
On the way back, Ye Wan counted out twenty coins and gave them to Er Ya.
"You're really giving it to me?" Er Ya looked at Ye Wan uncertainly as she took it.
Ye Wan scoffed, "Don't want it? Give it back to me!"
"No, this is money I earned with hard work. You keep your word." Er Ya happily put the money into her purse.
"Pshaw, I wouldn't lie to a child." Ye bent down from the oxcart, picked up Sanya, and said, "Let's go home."
Sanya is getting prettier and prettier, she's as cute as a doll.
"Mom, let's go home and feed the chicks, they're hungry."
Ye Wan smiled, "Don't worry, I fed them before I left. We'll give the chicks meat to Sanya when they grow up, okay?"
"Eggs are the best food."
As soon as I got near my house, I saw a young man peeking around, looking like a thief.
Er Ya shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house!"
The young man stumbled in fright and turned around.
